They in the 70s

After the day was completely bright, the tweeter in the courtyard sounded on time, and passionate songs and commendation speeches were played in turn.

Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan gathered on Central Avenue, and set off for the train station together with all the young people who were about to go to various places in the compound.

The cadres of the neighborhood committee happily put a big red flower on each of their chests, and when they were done, Zheng Yan and Lu Zhansheng were pulled aside for 15 minutes of ideological education.

"When you're outside, you have to work hard. You can't just goof around like before, and you can't embarrass the old and young in our No. 39 compound..."

Lu Zhansheng didn't listen to a word of these words, his eyes were always looking in the direction of his home.

After the farewell speeches of the cadres, the young people packed their bags and set off in line. Those with children at home would follow the line to the train station to see them off.

Lu Zhansheng looked back for a long time, but he only found Zheng Yan's uncle and aunt in the team, he did not find He Zhi.

I don't know if it hasn't come out yet, or it has already set off early.

Lu Zhansheng was more inclined to the latter, because he felt that even if he got angry again, He Zhi would not be able to not send him off. He Zhi must have gone to the train station ahead of time.

After walking out of the compound, Lu Zhansheng was still turning his head back frequently, his eyes were worried, and it was very unpleasant for Zheng Yan to see. He didn't know how to comfort Lu Zhansheng, but silently took two of Lu Zhansheng's bags and carried them on his back body.

--

The train station was crowded with people and the sound of gongs and drums.

Many horizontal and vertical red banners were hung on the platform, and the slogans written on them were roughly the same: Warmly send XX educated youth to XX place to jump in the queue and settle down.

A song composed and adapted from the leader's quotations came from the loudspeaker, and the propaganda team led a group of elementary school students back and forth to shout slogans: Resolutely respond to the call and warmly send the educated youth to the mountains and countryside.

The train has stopped on the track, waiting to leave at any time. In addition to the educated youth with big red flowers on his chest, the platform is also crowded with family members, relatives and friends who came to see him off.

After Zheng Yan and Lu Zhansheng found their compartment, they saw Song Jian standing there waving at them from afar.

Seeing that Song Jian also had a big red flower pinned to his chest, Zheng Yan was a little puzzled at the time, and quickly walked over a few steps: "Song Jian, what do you mean by that?"

"What else do you mean?" Song Jian turned around and showed the luggage bag he was carrying, and said with a smile: "I also signed up to go to northern Shaanxi, and I specially applied to go to the same place with you two."

"what?"

Zheng Yan was shocked directly: "You, you are not waiting for conscription?"

"I won't go, it's boring, I still want our brothers to be together, lively, haha."

Zheng Yan:...

Looking at Song Jian's cheerfulness, Zheng Yan felt helpless, he thought to himself, what's the matter, those who want to be the ones can't be the ones, but the ones who can be the ones don't cherish it, it's simply comparing people to others, it's so irritating!

"Hey, Mr. Lu Zhan, how is your boy?"

Seeing that Lu Zhansheng also came over, Song immediately approached him and asked him in a low voice, "Is the injury better?"

Lu Zhansheng nodded his head and was about to say something, but who knows, Song Jian looked at him and said immediately behind him: "Hey? Where's your brother? He didn't come to see you off?"

"... "

Lu Zhan pulled his face and immediately closed his mouth.

Zheng Yan felt even more helpless, fearing that this ignorant babbler would immediately withdraw from the educated youth team due to Guang Rong's injury, so he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled Song Jian away from Lu Zhansheng.

Song Jian didn't realize what was going on for a while, so he looked at Zheng Yan: "What's wrong?"

Zheng Yanyang raised his chin and signaled Song Jian to look at Lu Zhansheng's expression. Song Jian seemed to have noticed that Lu Zhansheng's mood was not right. It was the first time he saw Lu Zhansheng in this state.

It's like... like you're going to cry when you follow.

"interesting."

Seeing what was going on, Song scratched his head and smiled when he realized what was going on, and then thought about changing the topic quickly. He glanced around and saw many people with bandaged arms hanging on the platform, and immediately said: " Hey, the two of you were really awesome that day, I heard that there must be hundreds of people, and they all took knives, but in the end, you two beat them all up."

This is true. After that fierce battle, there were almost no more fights and troubles in the streets and alleys of the major areas of the capital. The law and order can be said to be unprecedented.

After all, those recalcitrant masters who caused the most trouble were all bandaged and hoisted their arms almost overnight, and they were all recuperating at home.

Everyone thought that Zheng Yan and Lu Zhansheng had the limelight this time, and they were almost completely victorious, but only they knew that victory, except for saving Zhou Mingliang, was a crushing defeat in other respects.

Especially for Lu Zhansheng, so when Song Jian mentioned this, his face turned black even more completely.

Song Jian really didn't expect that he hit the muzzle of the gun again, turned his head to look at Zheng Yan, and Zheng Yan directly pulled him further away with a sigh.

At this time, the boarding reminder bell rang from the big horn on the platform.

The train was about to leave, and the crying of the seeing-off crowd broke out to an earth-shattering level.

Parents are holding their children's hands tightly, couples are hugging each other vigorously, looking around, almost everyone's eyes are filled with tears of reluctance, and the grief of parting suddenly enveloped the entire train station above.

Song Jian bid farewell to his aunt, and Zheng Yan's uncle and aunt gave him thousands of reminders...

Everyone let go of the hands of their relatives one after another amidst the crying, turned and boarded their own carriages.

The platform was starting to get a little empty.

Only Lu Zhansheng was still standing there, looking around anxiously.

Jingle bell~~

The urging to start the train sounded again, and the conductor came over and patted Lu Zhansheng on the shoulder, reminding him in a good temper: "Son, go up, the train will leave soon."

Lu Zhansheng continued to hold on for a few seconds, but as far as he could see, it was still empty.

After his heart suddenly cooled down, Lu Zhansheng looked away, lowered his head, twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, then turned around and boarded the carriage full of loneliness and disappointment.

bang bang bang bang...

The train began to move forward slowly.

The crying on the platform gradually faded away, but the sobbing in the carriage continued.

"That's enough, everyone!"

Song Jian couldn't bear to see everyone's frustration, so he stood up and yelled: "We are going to jump the queue, not go to the execution ground. As for the endless crying, petty!"

After hearing this, the people in the car all looked at him, and after a while, they all silently wiped away their tears.

"Hey, that's right."

Song Jian said again: "It is said that we are going to a vast world. Since it is vast, there must be many interesting and interesting things. I think this is a good thing. We should be happy."

"That's right!"

A young man in the front row followed up after hearing this: "A man is running rampant in the world, the world is wide outside, go and see what's wrong, you should be happy!"

"Look, this buddy is very enlightened!"

Song Jian said with a smile: "Comrades, let's educated young people don't talk about studying hard in the poor window. They have worked hard for several years. They all have great ambitions, but they have never been able to display them. Now they finally have this opportunity to go to school." Yuanfang has done some work, we should cheer and jump for joy, don't you think?"

"Yes!"

Several youths in the back row also echoed:

"Those who achieve great things are not afraid of difficulties! Be brave and active!" "That's right! The revolutionary will must not be depressed, let's be happy! Be happy!" "Agreed! Let's sing a song together to encourage ourselves!" "Just sing How about "The Hawthorn Tree", which is very popular recently!"

"The Hawthorn Tree"?

Hearing the name, Song Jian immediately thought that Lu Zhansheng sang very well that day. He subconsciously turned his head and wanted to ask Lu Zhansheng to start everyone, but when he looked back at Lu Zhansheng's expression, he suddenly choked.

Lu Zhansheng was sitting by the window. He was looking out of the window with his head tilted at the moment. The shadows of the bricks and tiles of the houses on both sides of the track kept flashing through his eyes...

It is clear that everything travels through the eyes, but the eyes are extremely empty.

At that moment, Song Jian just looked at him like that, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that even if he can wrestle and fight outside on weekdays, no matter how majestic, Lu Zhansheng is only 17 years old, but he is still an ordinary man. Ordinary people who love home and are greedy for family members, children.

Seeing that Song was distracted, he didn't know who had started the song, and the people around him followed suit one after another.

The melody of "The Hawthorn Tree" reverberated throughout the carriage with a loud sound.

This is a song of special significance to Lu Zhansheng. In the past, as long as the melody sounded, his mood would be melodious.

And this moment, it suddenly becomes suffocating.

And in this suffocating singing, Lu Zhansheng looked at his hometown that was gradually going away outside the car window, feeling as if his heart had been hollowed out, and he lost his place.

He chose the path by himself, and he decided to leave by himself, and he has no regrets.

but.

He was miserable.

Because He Zhi still didn't come to see him off.

After struggling in every possible way last night, he put down his face and took the initiative to find He Zhi. He said so much, explained so much, waited so long, and emphasized twice on the final departure time.

But He Zhi still didn't come.

In such a huge train station, all the people who are going to travel have someone to see them off, but he didn't. At that moment, he felt as if he was abandoned by the whole world.

He Zhi didn't come.

After the train left the city, it ran at high speed and headed west.

Lu Zhansheng just kept looking back, until his hometown completely disappeared from sight, then he lowered his eyes, and the sourness at the tip of his nose was completely uncontrollable.

He thought that even if he didn't come to talk to him, then He Zhi would see him off from a distance, at least He Zhi would come.

However, before setting off, he searched every corner of the platform with his eyes, and he didn't see any sign of He Zhi at all.

He Zhi...

Actually did not come.

The author has something to say:

---

The boy who was taken away by the train, when he came back, he really grew up, woo woo woo, I don't know why I feel a little sad.

Probably Comrade Xiao Lu was completely depressed this time.

I don’t know how you feel when you read this chapter. Anyway, I really feel sorry for him. Comrade Xiao Lu is still a baby, how could he treat him like that!

The strictest father usually gave him encouragement, and Aunt Luo, who loved and hated him the most, also helped him fill his luggage, but it was He Zhi who not only didn't come to see him off, but didn't even open the door for him. It was so cold at night, so he sat outside with the wounded for most of the night.

On the platform, he waited until the last moment...

Hey... angry, crying.

This matter has to be recorded in his little notebook for Baby Lu, and he has to do the math with his brother in the future to make up for it!Double the compensation! !

He Zhi: Please cut my perspective, you will cry even worse, thank you.

Me: Um... sorry, I am biased [crying]
