They in the 70s

The train ran at high speed, and after two days and nights, it finally drove from the flat North China Plain to the loess high slope with thousands of ravines.

After climbing over the mountains, the earth suddenly became fragmented.

Just like the mood of a young man, the clear sky is no longer there, and the sea is no longer boundless, and some are only left with haze and despair.

After entering the boundary of northern Shaanxi, the train began to stop at various stations along the way. Every time it stopped, a group of young people would be taken off the train by name.

When Lu Zhansheng Zheng Yan and Song Jian were called their names, it was already the last stop of the whole journey. It was Bian Sui County, a small county at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

At that time they did not know that this is almost the poorest county in the entire northern Shaanxi area.

After the train came to a complete stop, the remaining educated youths on the train lined up on the platform under the command of the conductor to receive routine condolences from the leadership of the County Educated Youth Office, and then waited to be assigned to specific villages.

The comrades of the County Educated Youth Office are very caring, knowing that these children are basically leaving their hometown for the first time, and they must be a little uncomfortable psychologically when they come to a place where they are not familiar with, so when they are assigned to the village, let everyone form a team freely , Those who know each other can go to the same village, so that there is also a care for each other.

This arrangement was welcomed by everyone, and the grouping was completed soon.

However, when Lu Zhansheng Zheng Yansong saw this group, there were only three of them.

The reason is obvious.

These three people usually hang out in the circle of recalcitrant masters, and they have a very good reputation for fighting and making troubles, especially when Lu Zhansheng and Zheng Yan had a big fight a while ago.

Although not many of these young people really know them, most of them have heard about them, so after knowing who they are, based on the principle of avoiding troubles and living a stable life, they are almost unwilling to go to a place with them. place.

The three of them had no objections, because they could tell that most of these young people were honest and responsible children, and they definitely had nothing in common with them.

But the educated youth office disagrees. After all, there are several villages in the county, and the number of people in each village is also fixed. If the disparity is too large, it will be regarded as differential treatment, which may arouse public anger.

Liu Dawei, the director of the County Educated Youth Office, learned from everyone's whispers that these three boys were not easy-going lamps. So, after repeated mobilizations to no avail, he went directly to the crowded team and ordered seven girls to come out in one go.

Liu Dawei's intentions were good. After all, no matter how hard these boys were, they couldn't be bastards to fight with the girls. He felt that this distribution was very reasonable.

But Liu Dawei didn't expect that when the seven girls heard that they were called, four of them cried on the spot.

After all, not only are they famous for fighting and making troubles, among these three people, there is also a Lu Zhansheng who is said to be "sitting on three thousand beauties in the harem" and especially likes to harm girls.

Of course, the boys were not too satisfied with this arrangement, after all there were only a few beautiful girls, and in their opinion, the three in Lu Zhansheng's group were all wolves.

Some bold ones directly stood up and denounced Liu Dawei, saying that he deliberately harmed lesbians and sent them to the wolf's den on purpose. His words were very fierce.

Liu Dawei obviously didn't expect this situation. Seeing everyone pointing at Lu Zhansheng, he felt very puzzled, and thought that he couldn't do it. This kid hadn't opened his mouth to speak since getting off the car, and kept his head down and kept silent. It seems that he is the most honest of the three.

Zheng Yan and Song Jian were almost hurt internally as they held back their laughter.

Being in the same brigade with a group of beautiful lesbians, they definitely don't have the slightest opinion in terms of daily pleasing to the eye, but because this has aroused public outrage, they don't think it is necessary.

So, after laughing enough, Zheng Yan and Song Jian stepped forward to relieve Liu Dawei.

Zheng Yan told those girls who were crying in fright to go back, while Song Jian went directly to the other teams to catch two boys.

One of the two boys had a bandage on his arm, and the other looked quite honest and made it difficult for people to beat him. The two of them were hindered by Zheng Yan and others. Dare to resist too much.

In this way, the team made up eight people.

After the awkward situation was resolved, the three left a good impression on Liu Dawei.

After the teams were assigned, the three of them got on the bullock cart to Shimen Village with two men and three women in the same group.

The poor in northern Shaanxi look at Bian Sui, and the poor in Bian Sui look at Shimen.

At that time, they didn't know that the Shimen Village they were going to was almost the poorest village in Biansui County.

The northern part of Bian Sui is close to a large desert, and the climate conditions are very poor. It is dry and rainless all the year round. Especially in winter, there are few sunny days, either the sun is covered by haze, or the sky is full of dust.

After leaving the county seat, there is a vast wilderness all around. The bitter cold wind blows from the desert in the north, rolling fine sand and grass leaves, whirling in the air and hitting the faces of the young people directly. , blinding them all.

"Fuck, what the hell kind of weather is this!"

Song Jian wrapped a scarf around his head and face, and cursed loudly: "It looks like there is a knife in the wind, I feel like my face has been cut."

"Ouch!"

Zheng Yan laughed when he heard this. "As long as your face is still screaming, it's not casual, it's like that anyway, it doesn't matter if it's broken or not."

"Your uncle, Zheng Yan."

Song Jian was also immediately laughed angrily: "Although my buddy doesn't have a face like Lu Zhansheng's, at least his mouth is not crooked, his eyes are not slanted, and he is upright, which is better than your kid."

"Not far!"

Zheng Yan continued to laugh and said, "You're telling me the truth, brother Song, buddy, my face has been certified by the unanimous consent of all the old and young in our compound. If you have to choose between me and Lu Zhansheng as the son-in-law If so, I got nearly 100% of the vote."

"Haha! Come on! You're the one who forced everyone to vote with a knife. Lu Zhansheng is a man who used to have 'Three Thousand Beauties in the Harem'. What about you, don't talk about being a son-in-law Alright, let me tell you first, has your boy ever had any familiar girls?"

"Dude, I haven't met anyone I like, just like you guys, one on the left and one on the right, acting like hooligans."

"Yo! Cursing!"

As soon as Song Jian heard what Zheng Yan said, he immediately poked Lu Zhansheng who was sitting next to him with his arm: "Lu Zhansheng, are you listening, kid, Zheng Yan called you a rascal, can you bear it? Get up and fuck him!"

"... "

Lu Zhansheng ignored him, he turned around silently, leaned on the luggage bag with his back to the noisy two people, and closed his eyes.

Lu Zhansheng has been in the same state for the past few days. He doesn't care much about people, doesn't talk much, and doesn't even eat or drink much. His mood has been very low, and he can't get interested in anything.

Zheng Yan and Song Jian knew that he was unhappy, so they deliberately recruited him several times to let him quarrel or fight with them to vent, but they never succeeded.

The two of them didn't dare to comfort him directly, because they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would make the child cry.

Although they have never seen Lu Zhansheng cry.

Seeing that Lu Zhansheng was still in this half-dead state, Zheng Yan and Song Jian looked at each other, both a little helpless, so they had to sit back and calm down as if their flags had died down.

The wheels creaked, the bells on the bull's head jingled, and the long road ahead finally reached the place where it settled.

After arriving at Shimen Village, the wind and sand gradually became smaller.

After the eight educated youths arrived, they were directly dragged to the threshing ground at the entrance of the village.

At this moment, Shimen Village is holding a meeting of all members to welcome the arrival of the educated youth. All the old and young in the village have gathered there. The women hold their shoe soles, the men smoke dry tobacco, and the children chase and fight among the haystacks.

A tattered red banner was hung on the big tree next to the valley field, with a large line of characters written on it:

Warmly welcomes the educated youth from the capital to settle in Shimen Village.

Although there are two typos, the handwriting is neat and neat, and it doesn't seem to match the style of the torn red cloth. Zheng Yan said casually: "The writing is not bad."

"Well, my baby has good eyesight!"

It was a fat, short, middle-aged man who was talking, and he was walking towards the educated youths with a smile.

Zheng Yan looked at him and guessed that this person should be the leader of the village, because he looked relatively shrewd, unlike those villagers with dull eyes on the threshing floor.

Sure enough, the person behind him introduced: "Every educated youth, this is the party secretary of our Shimen Village, Wu Changde."

Wu...what the hell?

When everyone heard the name, they all lowered their heads.

Nothing else, just thought the name was a bit funny, but they were too embarrassed to laugh it out so directly.

However, Zheng Yan, who loves to make fun of other people's names on weekdays, did not go too far this time. He just asked curiously: "Secretary, did you write this word?"

"How can it be."

Wu Changde took a puff of dry cigarette, with a look of pride on his face. "My daughter, she is the only child in our Shimen Village who can read and write, she is very knowledgeable."

amount.

Zheng Yan glanced at the two typos again, then smiled politely, and said nothing.

"But compared with you, it must be inferior."

Wu Changde came over and stopped, looked at the group of educated youths one by one, and smoked another cigarette with a smile, looking very satisfied. "Well, as expected of being from the capital, not bad, not bad, they are all good kids."

The smell of the dry smoke was really choking, everyone took two steps back silently, only Lu Zhan was not there, and stood with his head down as usual.

Wu Changde noticed him now. "Hey, this baby looks young, she is not yet old, so why did she follow along, what's the matter, the family doesn't want you anymore?"

Zheng Yan: ...

Song Jian: ...

Probably because the voice of these words was too loud, he forced it into Lu Zhansheng's ears. He pulled away from the distracted state and returned to reality, looked up at the short and fat man in front of him, slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, and said: " Well, my family doesn't want me anymore."

"Ah! What's going on!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Changde immediately seemed a little bit filled with righteous indignation: "Such a good baby, why don't you just say no, what's your adult's name, tell me, I'll help you reason!"

Where to go to reason.

The capital is thousands of kilometers away from Bian Sui, and they can no longer be seen or heard.

What's more, there is no reason to speak.

Lu Zhansheng pulled the corner of his mouth lightly again, then lowered his eyes again, and let out a light breath.

"no need."

If he doesn't want me, then I don't want him either.
