Bai Fumei in the ’70s

...

Zhao Lanxiang got on the bus to the airport, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the traces on her face.

The familiar scenery regressed all the way until it turned into a scenery unfamiliar to her.

Jiang Jianjun handed Zhao Lanxiang a pot of water, but Zhao Lanxiang did not receive it.

He lowered his face, his cold brows raised slightly, and said, "If you continue like this, I can't guarantee that I won't trouble him in the future."

She looked down at the window with her head down, and suddenly the car passed a corner, and a hurried bell rang.

The car braked unexpectedly, and the powerful inertia caused the passengers in the car to knock to varying degrees. The car complained.

"What the hell!"

"Master, you can drive your eyes away. What should I do if a child falls?"

"Just..."

Zhao Lanxiang inadvertently looked away from the car, she was shocked suddenly, the whole body was sitting upright.She saw the gray figure outside the car. The man dropped the bicycle and walked past the side of the car.Under her watch, he knocked hard on the door.

The driver scolded for his neuropathy, but he opened the door for him.

He strode into the car striding meteorically and walked in front of her. His eyes were heavy like a black vortex, covered with haze.

He Songbai asked her word by word: "Why?"

The voice was thick and rough, and with a rapid breath after a violent exercise, he was so red eyes, as if he had suffered the wronged child, staring at her.

This is the man she loves the most, and it is also the person she least likes to look at.

Zhao Lanxiang's heart seemed to be squeezed hard, and before she could speak, He Songbai pulled her hard.

He said, "Go home with me."

He walked faster and faster, squeezing her wrist in the palm of his hand, as hard as she would crush her bones.

When they got out of the car, He Songbai pursed her lips in silence, her thin lips lined up.He couldn't stop wiping the sweat that had oozed from his forehead with his sleeves.

Zhao Lanxiang noticed the blood soaked in his trousers, her heart was dull and painful, "I will not let you come, you will still come."

He Songbai took out the wrinkled flower in her arms and handed it to her.

"This is the first flower I saw on the way to the pig farm."

The flower he was holding was already scarred, and he was so crumpled that he couldn't see the original look, as if he had been hit hard by the wind and frost.

Zhao Lanxiang touched it and ripped off its most complete petal.

He squeezed out a smile, and the breezy tone seemed like good morning to her every ordinary morning.

"I haven't sent you flowers this year...I will always give you."

"You like it so much."

...

Gu Huaijin also came back from the city. After returning to the bullpen, he started to pack up his own things. He stayed here for a long time after all.Because the hat on his head will be removed soon, and he will leave here after the grievances have been eluted.

Leave forever.

He was very happy, as if he had been infused with energy, making him a whole few years younger.But he looked at his little bit of belongings in the bullpen and fell in love.

For many days and nights, he fell asleep here with the sound of the frog, and he woke up early in the morning to cut the forage and go up the mountain to grass.

The grass and trees here are so familiar that he can draw them with his eyes closed.There are also three meals a day by Zhao Zhiqing, and the food accompanied by the beautiful scenery has added fun to his time of going to the countryside. Before he left, he was already missed.

He wanted to go to Zhao Zhiqing for a bowl of porridge. In spring, this girl loves to simmer the fragrant and smooth porridge, to give him a body.

Although he has suffered a lot in the past year, he has also tasted the blessings he had never tasted in the first half of his life. They all say that the human relationship is cold and warm, but what he feels here is warm.

He knocked on Zhao Zhiqing's door. No one answered, but the door was unlocked. The door was knocked twice and opened with a creak.

In the afternoon, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually spread into the house.The objects in the house were cut into two levels of yin and yang, and the golden light was laid out where the afterglow shone; the other side was covered with deep shadows.

And He Songbai was the one who fell into this shadow. He leaned against the desk, a look of self-dejection.

Gu Huaijin asked, "What about Xiangya?"

"You don't come out quickly, what is it to stay in the girl's house?"

He will soon become He Songbai's teacher. Gu Huaijin, who is a teacher, thinks he should discipline this kid well, so he put on a serious face.

He Songbai opened his eyes and said slowly: "She is gone and will not come back."

"what?"

He repeated it lightly, "She's gone and won't be back again."

He said that he rolled a piece of stationery into a ball and threw it away.

"How did she go... Hey, now the colleges and universities across the country are also starting school, she should now be time to go, you are also ready to prepare, after Wu Yong's case opens, I will go to City B with you."

"Wait...you..." Gu Huaijin stared at the young man's red eyes, swallowing everything in his mouth.

He seemed to understand that, judging by his life experience accumulated in most of his life, this kid was mostly in love.

Gu Huaijin stooped down silently and also sat beside He Songbai.

He said: "Where are you so young, so many troubles, look at your face with frustration, isn't she not coming back?"

"You don't have long legs, won't you go find her yourself?"

He Songbai heard the words, and the man's words kept flashing in his mind.

"You don't deserve her."

He finally shook his head.

"She has a better future, I can't give her."

Gu Huaijin was anxious and slapped him: "Is there no better future for you?"

In response to this, Gu Huaijin was completely silent, and the youth sitting next to him seemed to blend into the dark night.Silent, decadent and depressed.

Day after day, the days passed by like a white horse.

Gu Huaijin looked at this decadent young man, and became increasingly silent. In the morning, he would go to the mountains to see a bunch of camellia folds and come back to keep it in a vase. He would watch the sunset on the hills in the evening.

Neither go to work, nor find his target.

His love has not yet borne fruit successfully, and has been severely hit by the wind and frost.

Ten days later, Gu Huaijin dug out the drunken young man from the hill and said to him: "Wu Yong's case is in court. Do you want to hear it?"

He Songbai opened his drunken eyes, and he responded, "I'm going."

The sun was very clear that day, and the cold cold wind completely withdrew from the earth, and the world was full of spring.

He Songbai was dressed in clean clothes and shaved off the stubble. He had recovered for the first time in so many days.He went to the trial with Gu Huaijin, his sister, brother-in-law, and some people related to the case.

"The court in City X of Province X ruled as follows. Wu Yong decided to execute the death penalty and deprive him of political rights for life.

After He Songbai heard the verdict of the first trial, his eyes turned to Wu Yong.

I saw that he was wearing a prison gown, his eyes were so thin that he was so thin that he looked like a pin.The moment he heard the verdict, his calm face appeared for a moment.

When he retired from the court, He Songbai passed Wu Yong's side, and he suddenly remembered what Gu Gong had mentioned to him as a joke, and Wu Yong handed him the words through Hu Prophet.

"All the bitter water poured into my heart."

It is a pity that Prophet Hu expressed inaccurately, and Gu Gong was left behind after listening to a scolding.This bitter water is actually the cynical words that Wu Yong put down because of his self-righteous arrogance.If He Songbai could hear it at that time, he would surely hear Wu Yong's voice-over as he read the popular publications at X Da crazy.

He Songbai thought of this, and said lightly: "Although nobles are often not passes for nobles."

"But despicable is probably the epitaph of the despicable."

Wu Yong bowed his head, indisputably, and he was calmly escorted by his police to the car.At the moment of hearing the verdict, whether he regretted it or not, He Songbai did not know.

But when He Songbai saw his family chasing Wu Yong crying and fainting, he felt that this was the case.

There is a price to pay for bad things.

He was greeted by the bright sunlight above his head, his eyes narrowed slightly at the white clouds in the sky, and the sunlight shone on him as well as on her.

All the haze will pass, and a new life will start again.

...

Suddenly, there was a rumor in Hezitun. Some members of the community witnessed the most beautiful female educated youth in the village to take the initiative to kiss He Erliu, as if they had been the target.

This is terrible, it's almost as if it's exploded, making people talk all day long.

"Hey! I remembered it, no wonder He Hei Er finished his work at that time and went to work for the female educated youth. You can't remember the fact that he fought with several people the previous year. It's really pitiful Wang Xizi..."

"At that time he was right!"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssof home, he didn't expect this kind of blessing, hey... I saw that the female educated youth just couldn't think of it, so I couldn't even panic."

"What about the person I've been through? Didn't people dump him after entering college? Toad wanted to eat swan meat..."

In any case, this peach-colored rumor made the people in the village start to look up at He Songbai. They thought he was very capable and could actually break this cold and rich flower.

The village could not have looked at most of his women's house, and began to inquire about his marriage.

Prospective college students, this is remarkable. Although the ingredients are a little bit worse, they must be allocated after graduation. It is better to be a worker in the city than to work in the countryside.

It is now a new era. It is not bad to laugh at the poor, but if He Songbai is capable of making a lot of money, so that they can eat and wear the whole family, and eat meat every year during the holidays, that would be great!They are not unbearable about the landlord element of He Er'er.

So when He Songbai packed up her luggage and went north, Li Apo welcomed the first matchmaker who came to her door.

After listening to the matchmaker's words, Grandma Li listened to how she praised the woman's down-to-earth, hard work, and no words.

She waited silently for someone to finish speaking, and sighed, "The conditions are all good, but it is up to him."

"What else is there to see, this girl is not what I said, if you want to put aside it, it will not be your turn, you don't want to think about your family..."

Grandma Li froze, letting her son-in-law drive the matchmaker out of the house.

Since then, I no longer take care of the matchmaker.Her brother Bo is hard-working and kind, but it's not such a mess.

In March, He Songbai followed Gu Huaijin to study with his huge luggage.

They sleep in a crowded and noisy workshop, the train is full of various flavors, and the crowd is crowded.There are bare-chested men, white-haired old women, women with cursed women in their waists, and children who are jumping around, mixed with strong accents from the north and the south.

He Songbai, mixed in this noisy mood, was in a calm mood, and he was holding a book while reading it.

Gu Huaijin unscrewed the kettle and took a sip and said, "Hey, that's right."

"Turn grief and anger into motivation, study hard, and you will stand out in the future."

"You are very smart and know when to do something. It's not that I said you, I also asked Shuo Ming about the child. The child is really excellent, and even my proud son from older to older He has survived. Good girls always have suitors..."

"I will try my best to teach you everything I know, and you learn well, will you?"

He Songbai nodded emphatically. He set the book aside and lay on the sleeper staring at the scenery outside the window.The whistling train traveled all the way through the babbling streams and big river hills in the south to the majestic majestic high mountains in the north, passing the Qinling Huaihe River on the map, crossing the magnificent Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and more than half of China's north and south scenery. Almost all on a train.He Songbai gazed at the scenery all the way.

In front of him, the scene when he and Zhao Lanxiang took the train to S City together, the scenery was always not tired, and the mood at that time was like a ray of sunshine, even if it was in autumn, let People feel that there are birds and flowers everywhere, and every scenery is unique and impressive.

But now he silently withdrew his eyes and closed the book.

...

In 1978, the first year He Songbai went to university, Comrade D, the national leader, visited Northeast China and Tangshan, Tianjin and other places and made a northern talk. The talk mentioned that the focus of the party and the country's work should be shifted to the economy.He proposed a reform idea that broke egalitarianism and allowed some people to get rich first.

During the inspection, Comrade D once said: "The country is so big, so poor, and it does not work hard to develop productive forces. How can we live a life. How can our people's lives be so difficult, and how can it reflect the superiority of socialism?"

All this has been faithfully recorded by the newspapers. The people of City B are walking around, and the students of University T are almost crazy when they read the newspaper. They are generally discussed in the dining room. Speech.After He Songbai read the newspaper, he quietly sent a telegram to Li Zhong in the countryside, asking him to hurry up to City B, and instructing his brother-in-law to send him a sum of money.

After He Songbai came to City B to study, he let Li Dali help the pig farm's business. Fortunately, after an emergency transfer on the pig farm, everything was on the right track. It was not difficult for Li Dali to stare.

After receiving a telegram from partner He Songbai, Li Zhong quickly came to City B with almost all his savings.He gasped out of the train station, He Songbai picked up Li Zhong's luggage, and opened a hotel room for him in the clouds and flowing water. By the way, he was invited to have a meal at the Beijing Hotel and ordered his signature dishes in a circle. .

Li Zhong was sitting in a dazzling restaurant in the big capital, a little nervous.

He chopped a few mouthfuls of rice, and wondered: "It's worthy of City B, and its style is bright. I didn't dare to gasp just now."

"Burn so much money in one meal, he boss atmosphere!" Li Zhong teased involuntarily.

He Songbai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably, revealing his white teeth.

He didn't mention to Li Zhong that his food expenses for the previous semester only cost about 70 yuan, and 10 to 20 yuan a month. A few cents per meal was enough to solve the problem of food and clothing.He can't wear a few new clothes every year, all of which are made by the country elder sister.

A male student with a relatively good family in the same family as He Songbai just saw He Songbai ordering food at the Beijing Hotel. He saw He Songbai ordering the most expensive red wine without blinking his eyelids. He almost didn't drop his glasses. He It took a long time to dare to admit He Songbai.

"Isn't this Mr. He?"

He Songbai and his classmates greeted each other before returning to the box to continue chatting with Li Zhong.

After leaving this classmate of He Songbai, he thought in silence: "I am afraid that many people will be shocked. It turns out that this classmate He is really a rich person."

When He Songbai first came, he carried a roll of broken covers and was dressed shabby and shabby. He usually eats cheaply and saves money. It is difficult for people to believe that he is rich.He does experiments or writes essays, and has suffered a lot of doubts and blows because of the ingredients.

In the box, Li Zhong finished drinking red wine, smashed his mouth and said: "This is not enough for our Erguotou to be strong enough, as soft as a woman."

He Songbai smiled and said: "Re-open the bottle Erguotou for you."

Li Zhongmei drank the famous wine of the hotel, the clear liquor was filled in the smooth and white porcelain glass of the fetus, reflecting the soft light, the mellow liquor was sweet and long, he said while drinking: "I plan to put iron The boy Zhu brought over."

"Who would have refused to come, it's too far away. I tell you, the mother-in-law that Tie Zhu discussed last year gave him a big fat boy this year, which is a month away from your niece's iron head."

He Songbai said calmly: "No wonder he did not want to come to City B, and his brother and sister must have to scold me."

Li Zhong said: "Although he does not come to City B, but he said he is going to City G! Do you remember who you talked to before?"

"Most of this kid went to Zhao Zhiqing and heard that he was going to do business with her. He used to love Zhao Zhiqing's business and thought that her dessert lo Wei was sold in our county back then."

He Songbai heard the words "Zhao Zhiqing" and drank a large bowl of wine in silence.

"Her...you must have misheard, she will be well now, worry-free, and no longer need to get dirty like this before, earning her life."

Although Li Zhong was a little drunk, he knew he had hit He Songbai's scar, and he quickly changed the subject while he was haha.

"You let me come this time, what are you going to do?"

He Songbai approached Li Zhong and whispered a paragraph.

Li Zhong listened and listened, his eyes shining with light, eager to try.

He said, "Dare to do it, I will dare to follow!"

The pace of reform is getting bigger and bigger. Soon after the northern talks ended, the whole country ushered in the first giant thunder of spring in December, and it blew up the land of China that had been sealed for ten years.There are many contents of the meeting. He Songbai is most concerned about trying to make adjustments and changes to the existing planned economy in an attempt to shift from a planned economy to a market economy.

In addition to state-owned enterprises and collective industries, the state began to encourage the development of non-public ownership, which is completely crazy!

Li Zhong bought the newspaper of the day, bought one hundred copies at a stretch and ran to T, and threw it in front of He Songbai.

He said excitedly to He Songbai: "In the future, we will not call speculation, but private enterprises!"

"Quickly research, how to apply for registration!"

He Songbai pulled out the newspaper that he had already cooked in the back. His heart was full of emotions, and he felt like a groundhog lurking in the dark ground. For the first time, he just got out and breathed fresh air.

He no longer has to experience the taste of being strangled all the time.

Soon he sent a telegram, asking his brother-in-law in the country to follow the formal process of the pig farm and register the trademark.Immediately afterwards, he and Li Zhong set up a humble building materials factory.

In the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, there was content related to urban construction. He Songbai, who was in the architecture department, saw business opportunities. He and Li Zhong took out their savings and built factories in the suburbs, attracting a large number of B cities. Floating population.It also tasted the sweetness of the policy, and the local government gave a lot of encouragement and help.

He Songbai successfully registered the trademark "Xiangbai".

Seeing it, Li Zhongxie secretly shook his head and sighed, "Why not."

In the spring of 1979, the central government issued a decision on the "hat-removing problem" of landowners and rich peasants.That day was a special day for He Songbai. He felt that the good luck of his life seemed to be used in college.The good news one after another is exciting.

But this is undoubtedly one of the most joyful events he has heard in recent years.He Songbai felt a sense of relief and a spring breeze.

This hat used to be so heavy that he was overwhelmed like Dashan, and he picked up his tail to be a man.He even kept a low profile and was cautious when he was studying in a university. He never made any evil with others, lest he missed the opportunity to study.This reminded him of the first time he talked about the object, he humbled himself because of the composition problem, he couldn't help smiling.

Soon he sent the telegram to the old grandmother in the country. He could foresee it almost without thinking. When the old man received the telegram, the old tears looked like a criss-cross.

However, He Songbai's expectation must have failed, because Li Li had already heard the news of "cap removal" from the Red Star radio. At that time, the elderly were so excited that they were crying, and they couldn't help crying.When receiving the grandson's telegram, Li's mother-in-law was being carried by her son-in-law, and the family set up a tombstone for her deceased husband, Aiko, and repaired the tomb.

On the hillside behind the He family, there are two bulging bags, but there is never a tombstone. Every time there is Qingming, there will be a few pieces of white paper on the soil bag.This year, a tombstone was finally erected, and the master's name was clearly engraved. Their epitaph was written by Grandma after staying for two nights.

...

In the winter of 1980, He Songbai spent a busy time traveling, and he took the school leave to expand his business in S City.

He Songbai finished the business and took out coins and tickets to take the bus. He leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes to relax.

The bus unknowingly drove to the terminal, and he got off the bus by the conductor.He Songbai, who got off the bus, walked aimlessly, and a cold wind blew, dispersing his alcohol.He unknowingly walked to a familiar lane.

In the small alley where he used to collect debts and knock on the door from door to door, he turned his head to the bus station.Going around, he walked to the front of a photo studio.

A girl took her mother's hand and twitter seemed to be discussing something. She turned her head to see He Songbai, and asked innocently: "Look, isn't this big brother the one in the photo?"

He Songbai raised his eyes and saw a photo of him and Zhao Lanxiang.At that time, they only took one photo, which was obviously taken secretly by the cameraman.He was green and serious in the photo, but the woman in the photo bowed her head and sniffed the fragrant flowers, smiling quietly.This photo seemed to pass through his memory, and He Songbai suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He got the manager and asked, "Can I sell this photo to me?"
