They in the 70s

As spring approached, the wind from the northern Shaanxi plateau began to blow from the south. Standing on the threshing ground and looking around, the scattered vegetation on the surrounding loess slopes began to be faintly covered with a layer of green.

When Lu Zhansheng came back, He Zhi was standing on the threshing floor waiting for him.

Today is another rare good weather, the sun is warm and the breeze is not in a hurry.

He Zhi must have gotten hot from the sun, so he took off his jacket and was only wearing a sea blue sweater.

Lu Zhansheng still remembered that He Zhi's sweater was He Zhi's 19th birthday. Aunt Luo took He Zhi to a restaurant in Beiping to celebrate, making an exception and bringing him and Zheng Yan.

When passing by a supply and marketing cooperative, he saw many clothes for sale hanging at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. Among them, this sea blue sweater, after a glance, he felt that it was very suitable for He Zhi.

At that time, Aunt Luo thought it was not good-looking, and Zheng Yan also thought it was not good-looking. Only he thought it was good-looking and insisted on buying it. In the end, He Zhi asked Aunt Luo to buy it for him.

After getting the sweater, Lu Zhansheng was very happy. At that time, he didn't know why he was so happy. The new sweater was not bought for him, but now he knows.

Because it was one of the few times that He Zhi took the initiative to ask Aunt Luo for things, because he listened to his suggestion.

That represented He Zhi's attitude towards him. He Zhi took his words seriously, trusted him, and agreed with him.

How excited you are when you are recognized, how angry you are when you are denied.

Lu Zhansheng is nothing else, he is only angry because of He Zhi's attitude towards him, it seems that the established impression from the past can never be broken.

Zheng Yan and the others greeted He Zhi and went back first. Lu Zhansheng pulled his face and went to the threshing ground and sat in the small shack he had built before.

The small shack was originally built for wind protection, so Lu Zhansheng chose the innermost one among several haystacks, and dug out a big hole in a large haystack. The hole was blocked by corn stalks, which was quite hidden.

After Lu Zhansheng got in, he immediately blocked the corn stalks again. He didn't want He Zhi to come in. After all, he didn't know what He Zhi was going to say. He was afraid that if He Zhi got angry again later, he would control him He couldn't help but get started with He Zhi.

He Zhi followed, and stood outside talking to him, and his tone was not strong.

"How do you want me to apologize to you, say sorry?"

"... "

Lu Zhansheng felt a little speechless, saying I'm sorry is useless, this time I said it the same way next time, nothing changed.

And just saying it doesn't mean that He Zhi really thinks that he is wrong. He Zhi is such a stubborn person, he will not easily think that he is wrong.

Lu Zhansheng thought for a while, then rushed outside and said, "You promise, you will not blame me if you encounter any problems in the future, and you will stand by my side unconditionally and support me unconditionally."

"... "

He Zhi didn't speak.

Lu Zhan said with a heart, let's see, that's it, sorry is just a cover, deceiving others and himself, he was so angry that he didn't make a sound.

The atmosphere turned cold for a moment.

Only then did He Zhi speak again. "I can't agree to your request. Whether I support it or not depends on the situation."

"Then what are we talking about?"

Lu Zhansheng said directly: "You can go back directly, let's stop talking, it's meaningless to talk anyway!"

"Don't be angry." He Zhi said.

"Who is angry?"

Lu Zhansheng said: "That's what I want. If you agree, let's talk. If you can't, just let us down. Anyway, I won't give in at all!"

"What if you want to kill and set fire?"

He Zhi said, "Do you want me to support you unconditionally?"

"... "

Lu Zhansheng really didn't want to get angry again, but what He Zhi said made him unable to hold back no matter what. "He Zhi! You fucking best leave quickly! lest I can't help but go out and beat you later!"

"... "

He Zhi didn't leave either. After being silent outside for a while, he suddenly pulled away the corn stalks blocking the front of the shack, and sneaked in.

Lu Zhansheng's eyes widened when he saw this, and he immediately reached out and pushed.

Originally, he wanted to push him out, but He Zhi grabbed him first, and after being pushed by him, he didn't let go. Instead, he was pushed back by the thrust, and he threw him down directly, letting him hug him.

Lu Zhansheng was taken aback for a moment.

The atmosphere was quiet for two seconds.

Feeling that He Zhi was struggling to get up, Lu Zhansheng immediately tightened his arms almost like a conditioned reflex.

The more He Zhi struggled, the tighter he was, the harder he was struggling, and the tighter he was, until he couldn't move anymore.

The atmosphere was quiet for another two seconds.

He Zhi didn't seem to try to struggle anymore.

Only then did Lu Zhansheng loosen his arms a little, and then he suddenly realized that his heart was beating a little faster, beating, flustered and flustered.

He Zhi probably also felt the abnormality of his heartbeat, but he probably thought he was angry, and after lying in his arms for a moment of silence, he whispered to him, "I'm sorry."

whispering sound.

Lu Zhansheng ignored him.

He Zhi said, "I'm not a good brother."

Ok.

Lu Zhan said in his heart that he was quite self-aware.

He Zhi said again: "Don't be angry."

"... "

Judging from this tone, did he feel wronged?

Lu Zhansheng curled his lips, calmed down, his heartbeat returned to normal, and his anger dissipated a lot, so he took care of others.

"Do you know why I never regard you as a brother? Anyone who is a brother will think like you that his brother will kill and set fire at every turn. In your eyes, I am a bandit."

"No, you..."

He Zhi hesitated for a while before saying, "You're fine."

"Pull it down."

Lu Zhansheng snorted again: "Very well, why can't you promise to stand by me in the future? Why can't you support me unconditionally?"

He Zhi didn't speak.

Lu Zhansheng pursed his lips and said, "He Zhi, when did you learn to coax people with words? It's useless if you learn it. Am I the kind of person who can coax people well with just one word?"

He Zhi didn't speak again.

Lu Zhansheng was also silent for a while, although he said so, it still feels good to be coaxed.

He blinked his eyes and pondered for a long time, hesitated, but still asked

"He Zhi, can you tell me the truth, what do you think of me in your heart?"

He Zhi sighed lightly when he heard the words. "Spirited, reckless, unruly, frivolous..."

"Okay, stop it!"

Hearing that there was nothing good to say, Lu Zhansheng interrupted directly and pouted.

He Zhi looked up at him, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "But a pure heart, open mind, integrity, and openness are very important to me."

Forehead…

I can still hear this.

Lu Zhansheng blinked his eyes a few more times, then turned his eyes away, looked at He Zhi and asked, "How important is it?"

He Zhi didn't answer, but looked at him for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and lay down again.

And even though He Zhi didn't answer, Lu Zhansheng could still see the answer from his expression and the slight smile remaining at the corner of his mouth.

Very important.

It's so important that he doesn't hesitate to fall out with Aunt Luo because of him, and it's so important that at this moment, she is subduing him in a different direction.

He Zhi seldom coaxed him like this, and seldom gave in to him, which made Lu Zhansheng very satisfied.

The anger in his heart gradually disappeared, he curled his mouth and said to He Zhi: "You are also very important to me, even Lu Yunting can't compare to it."

"Family?" He Zhi asked.

amount.

Lu Zhansheng blinked his eyes a few more times, thought for a while, and asked, "If it's not family, what else could it be?"

He Zhi didn't answer. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked him: "Do you know what the meaning of family is?"

Lu Zhansheng thought for a while: "It's a guardian."

"What is guarding, and what is guarding?"

"Keep everything going well and keep the four seasons safe."

"Ah."

He Zhi nodded: "But in fact, in addition to guarding the safety and health of the body and the details of daily life, one must also protect the heart and mind, so as to ensure correct conduct, proper cognition, and correct path throughout life. Unconditional support, right or wrong, is inappropriate."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng was speechless, and his emotions circled around here again.

"Then I don't want such a family."

Lu Zhansheng directly said: "I don't want someone who is so calm that he is almost indifferent, I just want someone who is enthusiastic in Chicheng, who is willing to be by my side all the time, who will support me unconditionally no matter what I do, I just want such a person. "

He Zhi sighed softly again.

Lu Zhansheng felt that he might say some blunt and rigid principles again, so his mouth pouted.

But he never expected, He Zhi suddenly said, "I'll try."

Ok?

Lu Zhansheng was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head, looked at He Zhi's side face, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Try it."

He Zhi paused, and said, "Try to stand with you."

amount.

Lu Zhansheng was stunned again, and then he confirmed that he heard it right, and he immediately felt that his heart was filled with clear skies and boundless seas again.

Immediately felt happy.

"But, can you promise me too?"

He Zhi also said: "In the future, when encountering things, calm down first, don't be impulsive, and deal with it peacefully first, is that okay?"

"sure."

Lu Zhansheng was in a broad mood at the moment, feeling that he could agree to anything, he smiled himself for a while, then reached out to lift He Zhi's face: "He Zhi, we agreed, we will each take a step forward in the future, no matter we meet again What's the matter, let's all stand together and discuss and solve it together, how about it?"

He Zhi also looked at him, nodded: "Yeah."

Ah!

Lu Zhansheng is in a better mood.

Originally, Lu Zhansheng was very depressed by the "sufferings of the world" he saw during the day, and felt that there was no sense of victory in the fight, and he was even a little frustrated, but now it is different.

When He Zhi said this suddenly, he immediately felt that the past few days of his tumultuous days suddenly had meaning again.

After just looking at He Zhi for a few seconds, his gaze moved to He Zhi's lips, and he suddenly felt an urge to kiss him.

miss.

Only a few days later, he felt that it had been a long time, and he missed He Zhi's kiss very much.

but.

They didn't drink any alcohol, they were all sober, and there was no way to explain it after the kiss.

Hey!

After struggling in his heart for a while, Lu Zhansheng planned to endure it for a while, and decided that he must find some wine tonight.

When Lu Zhansheng was writhing in his heart, He Zhi had already looked away and buried his face again.

After He Zhi got back on his stomach, he let out a sigh of relief, not knowing why.

Lu Zhansheng didn't say anything at that time.

After a long silence.

He Zhicai said again: "Now, let's talk about Wu Zhishu?"

Lu Zhansheng: ...

Disappointing.

Lu Zhan moved his body vividly, adjusted his posture, continued to hug him, and hummed, "Why are you talking about him?"

"You insist on asking him to apologize to everyone. I have no objection to this matter, but can we delay it for a while?"

"why?"

Lu Zhansheng immediately said: "I did something wrong, shouldn't I apologize? Why delay?"

He Zhi didn't answer him right away, but was silent for a moment, and asked him, "Do you still remember that mother named Niu Niu yesterday?"

Ok?

Lu Zhansheng thought about it, it was the woman who was born with dementia, he was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"If she suddenly went crazy while walking on the road and hit you, would you return it and ask her to apologize to you immediately?" He Zhi asked.

"... "

Lu Zhansheng was speechless: "She is a mentally retarded person, can I argue with her?"

"Ah."

He Zhi nodded and said, "Because of her physical defect, her behavior cannot abide by the rules of the so-called normal world, so I don't know if I should not care about her, right?"

Lu Zhansheng thought for a while: "Yes."

"Well." He Zhi said: "Then, by analogy, the situation of Wu Zhishu is actually the same."

Lu Zhansheng: ...

He Zhi continued: "Bian Sui County is located in a remote area, and Shimen Village is even more isolated. The people here have basically never studied or traveled far. Their thinking and cognition are very different from ours."

"You have seen, and you know what those villagers usually look like. From the perspective of outsiders, they are ignorant and stupid, lazy to think, most of them have no independent opinions, they just echo, echo what others say, obey the arrangement, and communicate with us. It’s like being in a different world.”

"Wu Zhishu has been the village leader here for more than 20 years. All the big and small things in the village have always been done by him alone. He doesn't communicate with people in advance, and he doesn't think he needs to tell anyone afterwards. He has no such awareness, and I'm used to this way of working."

"Our household registration is here. From the Party Secretary's point of view, it is equivalent to becoming a villager in the village. Naturally, our food is also from the village and is at his disposal. This is his understanding and cognition, so he will not open it. With a single greeting, we shared our food."

"Of course, when I say this, I don't want you to compromise, and it doesn't mean that I don't think he's wrong. He must be wrong. I just think that Wu Zhishu's behavior is unreasonable and justifiable. We don't need to be certain. You have to pin him to the ground, because he is a leader, an elder, and more importantly, he is not a pure villain."

"... "

After listening patiently, Lu Zhansheng also sighed. "You said before that he's not a bad guy, how did you know that?"

"Through the attitude of the villagers towards him."

He Zhi said: "It is said that troublesome people come from poor mountains and rivers, but you see, almost everyone in the village supports him, obeys his arrangements, and rarely disagrees."

"... "

"The branch secretary distributed the food to those [-] families, and the other people who didn't get the food didn't get angry because of it, and they were still very united. From this, it can be seen that the villagers should not be a group of bad-hearted people."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng snorted again, curled his lips and said, "As you said, there are no bad people anymore, so I'm the only one."

"Human nature is inherently good."

He Zhi said: "Whether it's the gossip before or the vicious dogs later on, the conflict between us and them is basically due to the opposition between the two cognitive levels. It would be great if we can make progress in each."

Lu Zhansheng: "Oh?"

He Zhi said: "Just like us, if we make room for each other, the two worlds and the two cognitions will merge with each other, so we won't always quarrel."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng was speechless for a moment, then smiled. "What do you mean by that, do you want to try to change them?"

He Zhi didn't speak, he couldn't deny it.

"It's a bit difficult."

Lu Zhansheng, after thinking for a while, said: "Some things are native habits, once formed, it is difficult to change. After all, they are not like me."

I don't want everything like me, but I can change and compromise in some respects.

Lu Zhansheng didn't say the second half of the sentence, and changed it to: "Those old and stubborn people are probably harder to change than you."

"It's okay, if you can't change the previous generation, you can change the next generation."

He Zhi raised his face again as he spoke, and looked at him: "The children here should be much easier to teach than when you were young."

"Oh?"

Lu Zhansheng frowned, and after understanding He Zhi's meaning, he immediately frowned. "Comrade He Zhi, why do I feel that you are going to do something big next?"

He Zhi's eyes moved slightly, and after a while, they drooped down, and slightly bent the corners of his mouth: "It's us."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Lu Zhansheng: Why does it feel like he wants to confess his love to me by opening his mouth several times today?Am I overthinking it?

__

He Zhi: It's so funny, we two have been chatting every day, we have to hug each other, and he is still thinking about confessing his love, I have already started to fall in love unilaterally, okay?
