The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Qi Feifei silently thought about the human meridian map. When he encountered uncertainty, he tried hard to imagine what it looked like in the book.

Then she saw the medical book in the courtyard open. She could see every word clearly and could turn the pages one by one.

She was startled and wondered if the book had come out just because she thought about it.

I opened my eyes immediately, and the train door was still in front of me.

There is a field outside the window. The afterglow of the setting sun spreads on the earth, adding a touch of warmth to the desolate field.

At this time, the sound of selling boxed lunches was heard.

"Comrade, how much is a box?" someone asked.

A crisp girl said, "Three cents a box."

Someone else asked, "What are these dishes?"

A clear female voice said, "There are shredded pork with peppers, shredded pork with potatoes, and shredded pickles."

Someone else said, "Comrade, can you take a look?"

"Comrade, I want a box."

"Comrade, please pass it to me."

……

After a while, the lunch box seller walked to the connection between the carriages.

The girl was fair, with a round face, big eyes, bangs, and two small braids.

Medium build, slightly plump.

A smile spread across his face.

He was carrying a basket in his arms, which contained lunch boxes in aluminum lunch boxes.

The lunch box was not deep, and was filled with stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried meat with shredded potatoes, and shredded gada pickles, with the meat almost invisible.

Qi Feifei wanted to say, "Give me one."

The girl selling lunch boxes exclaimed first,

"Qi Feifei? Qi Feifei, why are you here?"

She was surprised and enthusiastic.

Qi Feifei's memories from decades ago had long been blurred. She tried hard to think, who is this?

The girl patted Qi Feifei's arm.

“I heard you went to the countryside, how come you’re still so fair?

A few days ago I met Liu Lili, she was dark and thin, she said life was very hard, she ate steamed bread and pickled vegetables every day, and had to work from dawn to dusk.

She looked at Qi Feifei carefully.

"Why don't you look like you've suffered at all? You seem to have gained some weight? Hmm? You seem to have grown taller, too."

She said a lot of things like a machine gun, and Qi Feifei still couldn't remember who she was.

She answered out of politeness.

“It’s OK where we are, we can still have enough food to eat.

I haven't changed that much, probably because I wash my face and hands with hot water every day and apply snow cream.

Wear a headscarf when you go out.”

The girl asked again,

"I saw your brother walking in the park with a woman a few days ago. Are you coming back to attend your brother's wedding?"

Qi Feifei was at a loss. In her previous life, she went to the countryside and never came back. No one wrote to her, so she really had no idea what was going on.

"I do not know."

The girl continued, "I heard from my brother's classmate that your mother agreed to give three transfers and one ring, which means it will definitely be a success. I just don't know when the wedding will be.

You'll be back just in time."

She was talking passionately here, and someone shouted over there,

"Lunch box, lunch box seller, give me a lunch box."

The girl quickly responded, "I'm leaving now. I'll talk to you again when I'm done."

She squeezed forward carrying the basket.

Qi Feifei was still in shock and hadn't even come to his senses yet, he even forgot to buy a lunch box.

His brother got married so soon?

Is her mother so rich?

No one informed her in her previous life.

My father is an ordinary worker, my mother is a temporary worker, and my brother had to pay someone to get a job in the factory, and he is still an apprentice now.

Where does the money for your family come from?

Guan Ming was watching this scene from the side, and saw that she didn't show any joy when she heard about the happy event at home. Instead, she was shocked and confused.

Guan Ming seemed to be thinking about something.

Qi Feifei missed his lunch box, so he took out a handful of hazelnuts from his pocket and ate them slowly.

After eating the hazelnuts, I put the hazelnut skins into another pocket.

Qi Feifei felt like someone was watching her.

He looked up and met Guan Ming's eyes.

Qi Feifei handed him a handful of hazelnuts and said with a smile,

"I picked it myself in the mountains. Try it."

In fact, children in the mountains of Northeast China have been eating hazelnuts since they were young.

Guan Ming took it without hesitation.

"Thank you. So your name is Qi Feifei and my name is Guan Ming. Nice to meet you."

Qi Feifei didn't like chatting with strangers, and he was too enthusiastic. Qi Feifei was a little wary and just smiled.

"Hello."

Just stop talking.

Guan Ming also noticed her avoidance and stopped talking.

Qi Feifei tried hard to think about who that girl was just now?

When someone comes to chat with you, you don't know who they are. If they are so enthusiastic, and you ask them who they are, it's not appropriate.

Qi Feifei closed her eyes and dug out her memories from childhood to adulthood bit by bit.

Finally a vague memory emerged.

A little girl with a round face, big twinkling eyes, two pigtails and wearing a plaid top.

I love to laugh, make noise and talk.

The singing is also very nice.

They sang together during the school’s June 1st performance.

what do you say that is?

Before she could remember, the girl came back.

And say hello to her.

"Qi Feifei, wait here for me. I'll sell them all in one more trip and come back to find you."

Qi Feifei responded, "Okay."

Suddenly a memory came back.

On the playground, a little girl ran by with a smile on her face and shouted to her,

"Qi Feifei, wait here for me. I'm going to the classroom to get my schoolbag. Let's go together."

The little girl ran to the classroom, her pigtails bouncing on her head.

Yu Lihong.

Her brother is in the same grade as her own brother.

She is in the same grade as me.

The two of them were not in the same class. Later, when I grew up, I had to do all the housework by myself and rushed home every day.

The two of us had less and less contact. I didn't expect that she still remembered me and was so enthusiastic.

After Yu Lihong finished selling out the second batch, she took Qi Feifei to the dining car.

The seats in the dining car are soft. There are also many people.

Many customers in hard seats who have finished their meal don’t want to go back and squeeze, so they stay here, chat and look at the scenery outside the window.

It's not as noisy here as in the train compartment, and people don't speak loudly.

Yu Lihong found a corner and the two of them sat down.

Yu Lihong held her hand.

"Qi Feifei, can you tell me what it's like in the countryside?"

Perhaps young people are curious about places they have never been to and things they have never experienced.

Yu Lihong looked at Qi Feifei with anticipation.

Qi Feifei got everyone together to plant vegetables, catch fish, pick mushrooms, and collect mountain products...

Pick out some interesting things and tell them to her one by one.

Yu Lihong was fascinated by what she heard.

All this was new and interesting to her.

I even felt a little envious.

Yu Lihong, "How long can you stay this time? I'm going to take a day off the day after tomorrow. If you're free, let's go to the park together, okay?"

Qi Feifei had never been to a park in her previous life, so it was fine to go for a walk. She also liked Yu Lihong's personality, so she agreed.

"Okay, let's meet at the park entrance then."

Yu Lihong, "Eight o'clock in the morning. See you there."

Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Feifei asked her to go and rest and returned to the original carriage.
