They in the 70s

The work of rushing to harvest wheat was in full swing until nightfall, and the sky was completely dark, and people did not dare to stop for a moment.

And the weather was also rare, and it was gloomy for the whole afternoon. After the last harvest of the whole village was completed, the heavy rain began to pour down.

The food is finally saved, and there is no need to worry about food rations for a long time in the future. The villagers are very excited. When cleaning up the things, who knows who started it? Song.

The tune in northern Shaanxi is high-pitched and clear, and its penetrating power is so strong that even the downpour can't stop it.

People in northern Shaanxi love to sing, and the unrestrained Xintianyou is their heartfelt cry.

Some of them are standing in the fields, some are separated from the high hills, and the singing comes from all directions, one after another, with high enthusiasm.

It was the first time for the educated youths to see such a scene, and they were immediately dumbfounded.

Before they came to the northern Shaanxi plateau, they didn't know that there were such a group of people living in such a hard way in the world. If they didn't live in Shimen Village, they might not know that hardship can be like that.

But at this moment, they are standing in the open wheat field, under the lightning, thunder and storm, listening to the loud and clear singing around you, they feel the inner excitement, openness and joy, and at the same time, they also get some insights .

Difficulty is the normal state of life. If you carry on, hope is tomorrow.

This is also the attitude of people on the northern Shaanxi plateau towards life.

After packing up their things and singing happily, the villagers began to go home one after another.

After Wu Changde came over, he saw that the group of educated youths were still standing in the ground in a daze, so he took a cigarette bag and pot and knocked Zhao Jun on the head: "What's the matter, are you stupid because of the rain?"

Zhao Jun was startled when he didn't defend himself, and he yelled twice, and everyone came back to their senses.

Lu Zhansheng also pulled away from the emotions of surprise and excitement, and turned his head to find that He Zhi was drenched in rain. He immediately looked around and found a raincoat on the ground, so he immediately took it and put it on He Zhi. up.

"Hey! You're so sensible!"

It was not the first time for Wu Changde to see Lu Zhansheng taking care of He Zhi like this, but he still found it quite surprising and rare, after all, in his opinion, Lu Zhansheng was just a little boy.

Lu Zhansheng couldn't care less about getting angry with Wu Changde at the moment, because He Zhi's sentence "Don't get hurt", coupled with that crying expression, his heart was beating drums all afternoon, and now he wanted to ask Wu Changde even more Find out what He Zhi and Wu Changde talked about after he left.

He Zhi didn't answer Wu Changde's words, but just asked him: "Secretary, is there a place to store the ears of wheat that were brought back?"

"Yes." Wu Changde said: "I took them all home and put them in the house. Don't worry, you won't be able to get food even if you're drenched in people."

After Zheng Yan and the others packed up their things, they came over to Wu Changde and asked, "Secretary, what about the stubble, do you care about it?"

"Never mind, it's just raining, let it rot in the ground as fertilizer."

Wu Changde looked up to the sky, then looked down at the surrounding farmland, and said with a smile, "Well, this year will be a good one."

A group of people said a few words, and Wu Changde hurriedly urged them to go back when he saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Lu Zhansheng didn't interrupt all the time, he just quietly walked around to Wu Changde's side on the way.

Wu Changde squinted at him: "What are you doing?"

Lu Zhansheng asked something at this moment, so he didn't stare, and said patiently, "It's nothing, I'll chat with you."

"What's there to talk about, ask for a reward?"

Wu Changde held up his soaked pipe and pot and hummed: "All right, since you have made a contribution this time, I will give you some food."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng was speechless, and endured it: "This credit is not mine, it is Comrade He Zhi who reasoned with you."

"Huh." Wu Changde squinted at him again: "You know how to be modest."

Lu Zhansheng endured it again: "Hey, then why did he tell you? After I left that time, what did you guys talk about?"

"Nothing to talk about." Wu Changde said, "He's pretty much what you said."

"Yo."

Lu Zhansheng deliberately smiled proudly: "So, you still listen to me?"

"Who listens to you."

Wu Changde could see that the baby's tail was up, and immediately said: "What do you know, your grandma told me it's going to rain, so I didn't believe it."

Lu Zhansheng: ...

It's over, Grandma Sun has a back injury, and when it rains on a cloudy day, she can't straighten up because of the pain. This Lu Zhansheng knows it. He subconsciously looks at He Zhi who is walking in front. He doesn't feel very good. The scar on his stomach may be I can't hold it anymore.

Wu Changde said again: "By the way, I still have to ask you, how did you know it was going to rain?"

Lu Zhansheng looked away from He Zhi and looked at Wu Changde: "Aren't you very clear about how I know?"

Wu Changde was stunned.

"Because the sky belongs to my family, I will do it as soon as I say it!"

After Lu Zhansheng finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at Wu Changde, and then strode forward.

Two seconds later, Wu Changde's scolding began behind him.

After returning, Tong Xiaoxue said to go back and cook ginger soup for everyone to drink. Lu Zhansheng was the first to respond positively, trying to avoid danger by mixing with the crowd.

But it was useless, He Zhi refused to let him go to the educated youth spot, and dragged him back to the hut at the entrance of the village.

After the kerosene lamp was lit, He Zhi took off his wet clothes, then stood aside and just looked at him.

Lu Zhansheng was extremely nervous, and he didn't know why, but he was more afraid of being seen by He Zhi than when he was just injured.

"Student Lu Zhan."

He Zhi said, "How long are you going to hide it from me?"

"What are you hiding from you, hehe, are you tired, do you want to wash first?"

Lu Zhansheng still wanted to struggle for a while, so he went to get the basin with a smile, thinking of an excuse to fetch water to change the topic.

But looking up, he suddenly found that He Zhi's eyes were red.

Ugh...

Lu Zhansheng was really helpless, put down the basin, and pouted. "Then you have to promise me that you are not allowed to be angry with me."

He Zhi didn't speak, but continued to look at him with red eyes.

Lu Zhansheng hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled off his shirt with his backhand.

The incision on the stomach is at the lower abdomen, it is ten centimeters long, and there are traces of stitches on both sides. The fleshy skin is tenderer than other places, and it is red at the moment, a bit eye-catching.

He Zhi lowered his head to look at his wound, his eyes froze for a moment, and immediately after, tears started to fall.

At this moment, Lu Zhansheng seemed to suddenly understand what he was afraid of. He was afraid of He Zhi, and when He Zhi cried, he immediately felt his heart was broken.

"It's okay, it's already done."

Lu Zhansheng hurried over, trying to hug him, but He Zhi suddenly put his hand on his shoulder, not letting him hug him, and continued to look at his wound.

"Is it the time you helped Zhou Mingliang fight?" He Zhi asked.

"Ah."

Lu Zhansheng said: "But it was just a skin trauma at that time, it was not serious at all, and it didn't hurt at all."

"That's why you gave up conscription and came here?" He Zhi asked again.

Lu Zhansheng nodded: "Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me? Lu Zhansheng, how could you hide such a big matter from me?"

He Zhi's tears suddenly fell more fiercely, Lu Zhansheng became anxious, he took He Zhi's arm from his shoulders away, and forcibly hugged him into his arms.

"He Zhi, I was just afraid that you would be like this. I promised you at that time that I would not get hurt and would pass the conscription medical examination, but I didn't do it. I dare not say it because I was afraid that you would be disappointed and sad. .”

"At that time, I didn't understand anything, and there were many misunderstandings between us. I didn't know how to solve it, and I didn't know how to face you in the future. I could only run away."

"But He Zhi, I think, you've been enlightened early, you should be able to feel my feelings for you, I just want to get your approval because I care too much about you."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng wanted to comfort others, but he didn't know why, but He Zhi cried even more sadly.

Because he didn't know how much the "misunderstanding" he said during that time had dealt a blow to He Zhi.

At that time, Lu Zhansheng insisted on fighting regardless of the obstruction, and overthrew He Zhi. He Zhi was only a little angry. Later, Lu Zhansheng suddenly said that he would give up the conscription and sign up to come to northern Shaanxi. He Zhi just couldn't understand.

What really disappointed He Zhi was that Lu Zhansheng didn't even inform him. When he went to ask, he subconsciously uttered a sentence: "Being passionate."

Prior to this, He Zhi had already experienced a painful struggle because he was aware of his unusual emotional trend, and he had been restraining himself, arranging his identity as an elder brother, and trying his best not to let his behavior affect Lu Zhansheng's judgment.

But deep down, as Lu Zhansheng said, he can still feel that Lu Zhansheng's feelings for him are beyond brotherhood, so he has always been hopeful.

But Lu Zhansheng suddenly decided to leave, and signed up neatly, without seeming to miss it, and even threw him a sentence of "self-indulgence", which directly crushed his hopes.

Almost.

He Zhi gave up.

He Zhi never heard Lu Zhansheng's farewell the night before he left, and He Zhi was not at home at that time.

As an elderly person, he was "self-conscious" towards his younger brother whom he had watched and grew up. This incident hit He Zhi too much. At that time, he locked himself in the room for several days, unable to eat, drink No more, overwhelmed with depression, fell ill.

On the day when Lu Zhansheng left by train, he was lying on the hospital bed, listening to the loud gongs and drums outside the street seeing off the educated youths, he wanted to get up and run to the train station several times, but he was overwhelmed by the phrase "self-confident". Pressed it back.

In the end, I could only wrap myself in a thick quilt and cry silently.

If Zhou Mingliang hadn't come to the house later and explained some reasons to him, if he hadn't struggled in every possible way, he still felt that he couldn't give up.

Then, he might have given up and would not have followed Shanbei.

Between him and Lu Zhansheng, maybe there will be no present, and there will be no future.

"Student Lu Zhan."

After crying bitterly for an unknown amount of time, He Zhi raised his head, looked into his eyes, and solemnly said word by word:

"In the future, you are not allowed to hide anything from me."

Lu Zhansheng just looked at He Zhi who was already crying in his arms, and his heart ached.

He reached out to wipe the tears on He Zhi's face, and nodded vigorously:

"He Zhi, I swear, never again."
