Chapter 15: Pastoral Pastoral
I want time to stay forever in the snow with me and Xiangyun. At this point, friends who like a happy ending can close the book and have fun with us. The happiness of the Yunzi family can be long-lasting, and even a daughter has just been regenerated with Changgang, and the whole family will come back with a small cotton jacket. As long as you work hard, as long as you have hope, happiness is waiting for your friends not far away.
My story is not over, if you want to get closer to the truth of life, know that things are impermanent, and be able to accept impermanence, you can continue to read on.
Impermanence implies impermanence in the constant, and impermanence in impermanence.
Life is like this, and so is the world.
Impermanence
In the summer of 1982, after completing four sessions of the Kunqu Lecture Appreciation Class at Jinling Normal University, Xiangyun returned to Penglang Old Street with no other plans for the time being.
A year ago, the responsibility field had been spread to households throughout the country, and Yunzi and Xiaoxue were actually still rural households, and they were assigned their own responsibility fields last spring. After a year of farming at home, the farmers' harvest is far greater than it was, and their living conditions have improved significantly. This spring, everyone is even more energetic, ready to cultivate intensively, so that their days "sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher".
Rice paddies are only a matter of a few days, and paddy fields usually do not need much care. Therefore, it does not affect Yunzi's empty teaching and performance outside.
After the summer vacation, I came to Penglang, where the women sang and took care of the crops in the responsible fields.
paddy field
I had never really farmed in the past, and when I was in the cadre school, I was helping the farmers harvest. Especially the work of paddy fields, I really don't understand. Yunzi not only commented on the good singing, but also planted crops. Land preparation, water storage, planting seedlings, fertilization, everything is OK. I followed her, awkwardly drawing scoops on the gourd, and Yunzi often laughed at me secretly.
I think the work of farming is actually good, working at sunrise, resting at sunset, pastoral pastoral, and the two families respect each other like guests. All in all, it feels quite cozy!
All summer, I was tired of being with my daughter-in-law. In the middle, I went to Shanghai Nanxiang to eat small dumplings and went to the Bund to see the Huangpu River. It's just that it's too hot to play more, or go back to Peng lang's home. At this time, families generally began to buy fans, radios, bicycles, sewing machines and other items. In short, in practice, whether in the city or in the countryside, people have tasted the sweetness of reform and the improvement of the quality of life.
Pastoral
I told Xiangyun that it was good to work in the countryside, just need to plant your own land, and then sing and comment, or do some small business. Isn't that pleasant? I love this idyllic life. Just wait for retirement, we will come back to farm.
"Well," Yunzi said, "I really have feelings for this land, Suzhou, Kunshan, and Penglang, and I don't yearn for life in a big city." As long as I have food at home, a piano in my hand, and you by my side, I am enough. However, Xiaoxue still let her go to the big city to see and see, and she can't be a farmer for generations. ”
"I just sighed, don't take it seriously, I'm not easy to go to college, can I not play in the big city?"
"There are also schools in the countryside, and you can teach primary school like a crane."
"You don't have to go to college to teach primary school, and you can't teach primary school when you go to college. Nor will the state be so distributed. ”
"I don't know you, penniless, but you have the ideal of the world."
"Men, always follow behind women, can you like it?"
"I don't care, as long as you can export food, I would like you to be just a person who helps me get the piano."
The woman sings with the husband
"Big cities have bigger stages. After two years of marriage, you and Xiaoxue's hukou can move to Beijing. When the time comes, you can go to the cultural center or drama school to find you a job. ”
"I don't care, you can do whatever you like." Letting Xiaoxue go to school in Beijing will still be good for her in the future. ”
"It's decided, or transfer your two hukou to Beijing, our family will be reunited, and Grandma will be happy." If you want to farm when you are old, can we come back and contract it? ”
After the summer vacation, I will be a senior year, and there are not many courses to take. This semester is mainly an induction internship, followed by the final semester to submit the graduation thesis and defense.
Thesis defense
After the National Day, according to the unified plan of the school, I was arranged to practice at Shitang Middle School in Hengxi Town, Jiangning District. Here the mountains and rivers are beautiful, full of bamboo forests, mountain streams babbling, and the folk customs are also very simple. Good is good, just too far from the city and the train station, the traffic is very inconvenient.
Writing to Xiangyun to report on this matter, she wrote back and said: Work well there, don't always come back, it's too inconvenient. I have light snow here, there are cranes, there is Aunt Mei, there are kind street folks, no problem.
So I was at ease at Shitang Middle School, the southernmost part of Jiangning District, for a three-month internship. In the middle, you can only write letters to your family.
Shitang Bamboo Sea
When I finished my internship, it was winter vacation, and I went back to Penglang's house.
Xiangyun and Xiaoxue also picked me up at the bus station as in the past. I saw that Yunzi's physical condition did not seem to be very good, she had lost a lot of weight, her face was a little yellow, and she coughed from time to time.
I asked: What's wrong with you? Catching a cold again?
She said yes. It turned out that after autumn, she shoveled the canal in the paddy field, and at this time the temperature had turned cool, and it was inevitable that she would be soaked in the water and suffer from wind and cold. For a long time, I did not see any improvement, and then I turned to pneumonia, and I stayed in huaqiao town people's hospital for a few days. After returning home, Aunt Mei and Cuckoo took good care of the stew and gave the stew soup nourishment, which slowly got better. It has now been largely restored.
At night, I took her in my arms and stroked her shoulder painfully. She was still like a green thorn in the river, wrapped around me.
I said worriedly: Pay attention to the body, my little pity.
Affectionate
She stroked my throat knot, then put her arms around my neck, pressed her face against my chest, and said: I will, don't worry. It's not a day or two, haven't they all come? I have a hard time marrying a wife and getting a good man, can I not cherish it? I will always be your little honey, until the sea is dry and the earth is barren.
After resting for a few days, I saw that Yunzi was in ok condition, and she and Xiaoxue were also happy, so they took the two of them back to Beijing for the New Year. As usual, her mother gave her stew soup to nourish her and bought new clothes for Xiaoxue. The whole family gathered to eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal, set off fireworks on the street, and skated in zizhuyuan, in short, this Spring Festival was very good.
Every night, when the lights went out to sleep, Yunzi always liked to lean her face on my chest, put her hands around my neck, and refused to let go of her hands all night. Marry such a sticky rice sticky cake, let her, not to mention I like her to stick to me like this.
