Return To 1977 Chapter 193: As long as you
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
After accepting Han Ying's gift, "General" returned home from the train station, feeling as excited as if he had been on stimulants.
He regarded the little red notebook Han Ying gave him as his most precious treasure. Look at it for a long time in a deserted place.
The red luster, the neat edges and corners, neither big nor small, look so cute no matter how you look at them. Putting it in his hand and rubbing it, it also made him feel small and smooth, which made him feel indescribably comfortable and happy.
The first page of the diary is the mailing address Han Ying wrote to him.
In addition, he also wrote a sentence: Let our friendship last forever and dedicate your fiery youth to the fiery revolutionary cause!
"General" has read this sentence at least a thousand times!
He felt that Han Ying's expression was both revolutionary and beautiful. Although he still has no hope for the development of the relationship between the two in the future, he has figured out one thing now - Han Ying has always regarded him as a true friend!
Then why does he bother to compete with himself? The future matters will be discussed later. At least for now, he has no reason not to fulfill his promise for this friendship.
The "general"'s educational level was not high, but he still racked his brains, flipped through the dictionary, and tried his best to write a letter that was sensible and expressive of his feelings. He stuffed it into the mailbox and sent it to Han Ying the next day. out.
The content of this letter is as follows:
Hello Comrade Han Ying, the great leader taught us that the world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality, just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. We are all revolutionary youths, and your friendship has always been the greatest revolutionary motivation for me. It's just that the distance between us is a bit far now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to keep up with your progress, but I can completely assure you that I will cherish this great friendship forever.
Sincerely yours
Proletarian fighting salute to Jiang Haichao
Each era has its own way of expressing emotions. This letter was written very simply, with only a few lines. Although there was not a word of love in it, to the "general", it was essentially an explicit love letter. He also believed that Han Ying would understand what he meant when she received this letter.
Sure enough, Han Ying received a reply soon, and her reaction was very strong, and the information revealed far exceeded the "general's" expectations.
She said, "I am still young and cannot promise you anything, but I also cherish our friendship. I also want to tell you that if the friendship is truly sincere, then all difficulties and distances can be overcome!" In addition, the weather is getting cold, so you must pay attention to safety when going to the sea and don’t freeze.”
She still doesn’t mind that I’ve become like this?
What a wonderful girl, there is no other girl in the world. What a fool I am!
After carefully reading this reply, the "general's" head suddenly opened up. Perhaps it was because he put too much energy on Han Ying and had imagined her reaction countless times. This time, his emotional intelligence was surprisingly high and he understood the true meaning of the letter without any compromise.
He immediately felt that life was so wonderful and his future would definitely be extremely happy. When he took the "Hai Bangzi" to "Yunwu Cliff" again, it was like being in a mythical mood.
He turned a blind eye to the ferocious waves and the steepness of the rock walls. The seagulls flying on the sea, the fresh sea vegetables and the flexible "little fragrant crabs" on the beach became the focus of his attention, because these could give him birth. There are many associations related to Han Ying.
In addition, he also carried a small red notebook in his pocket, walking, eating, and carrying coal, and felt its presence all the time. Even after crawling out of the sea, his first thought was to touch the little red book, lest he lose the most precious little thing.
He would run to the pile of clothes dripping with water and eagerly explore the small notebook with his hands. Only when the red light reflected from his pocket could he rest assured to bake his body.
But it is a pity that the happiness of "General" did not last long, because he only received Han Ying's only reply, and then he could not contact her again, and then sent more than a dozen letters one after another. All the letters fell into the sea like stones.
This abnormal situation naturally made him depressed and had trouble sleeping and eating, and all kinds of random thoughts occupied his brain.
He initially wondered whether Han Ying regretted it and did not want to contact him again. Then I thought about the army regulations that prohibited ordinary soldiers from falling in love. I was worried that the contents of their communications would be exposed, which would affect Han Ying's future.
Finally he couldn't stand the torture anymore, so he decided to go to Han Ying's house to find out. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I discovered that Han Ying's home was gone.
The doors and windows of the Han family's small foreign-style building were not only smashed to pieces, but also had the seal of the Revolutionary Committee affixed to them. The big-character posters posted on the outer wall of the small building all exposed the crimes of Han Ying's parents. They were actually labeled as spies from foreign countries!
After the "General" inquired in detail with the neighbors, he learned an even more shocking news. Han Ying's parents committed suicide at home a week ago out of fear of crime. Now the body has been cremated and no one knows where it is buried.
What about Han Ying? How is Han Ying?
No one knows...
For a long period of time after that, the "general" has been searching for people in a circle.
He rushed to Xi'an after a long journey and found the unit where Han Ying was joining the army. Unexpectedly, he heard that Han Ying had been taken away by the Political Department of the Bincheng Military Region.
He then rushed back to Bincheng. After trying many ways, he finally met the military cadre who took Han Ying away, but he heard that Han Ying had been demobilized and placed under the management of the street revolutionary committee.
Okay, then he found the streets again, only to learn that Han Ying had responded to the country's call and went to the countryside to become an educated youth. As for where exactly he went, he would have to ask the Educated Youth Office.
At that time, tens of thousands of people went to the countryside to jump in the queue. The Educated Youth Office in Bincheng has less than twenty people, so how can it be managed clearly? Each time, the household registration was cleared and the people were sent to the countryside, where the local government departments would distribute and resettle them.
So now, the "general" completely lost the news about Han Ying.
To be honest, the "general" is not sure whether Han Ying's parents are really guilty. He can't figure out such a complicated political issue. But to take a step back, even if Han Ying's parents were really spies, then he couldn't just watch the innocent Han Ying suffer and be implicated, and just ignore it.
So he has not given up his efforts to find her for several years, but unfortunately, despite all his efforts, Han Ying has never been found. As time went by, even he gradually gave up.
But human fate is really a strange thing, just like a big fishing net. I don’t know when the two separated ropes will cross and connect together again.
In 1976, very accidentally, a boy who came to "General" to buy sea cucumbers for a relative's wedding told him that there was a girl about his age who wanted to get married. She had great height, waistline, and appearance. !
The "general" didn't care after hearing this, thinking that the boy wanted to make it cheaper for him, so he took the initiative to lower the price, but never mentioned the meeting. Unexpectedly, the boy insisted that he would like the girl, and he would be stupid not to meet her.
"It's so good, why don't you keep it for yourself? Besides, how dare you conclude that she can like me?" "General" said half-jokingly.
"She is not picky about men at all, as long as she has all her arms and legs. There are three key points. First, she is a 'black five category' child. Second, you must pay a gift of 500 yuan. Third, you have to find a way to give it to her. Her household registration office is in the city. You have been working in the sea for so many years, so you should have the financial resources..." This guy saw that the "general" was interesting, so he gave a general overview of the situation.
Actually, this guy doesn't know much about the specific situation, because the girl is from the same educated youth class as his cousin, and she really couldn't stand rural life, so she wanted to take this path.
In this day and age, the "five black categories" are something that everyone avoids. In addition, this amount of money is certainly not a small amount, and ordinary people cannot afford it. In addition, it is also an earth-shattering event to apply for household registration from rural to urban areas. At that time, there were indeed many girls who would rather find a disabled person, a mute or a blind person in order to get their household registration.
But according to what this guy said, it’s actually a good thing, because without these conditions, a "Hai Bongzi" would never be able to find such a beautiful partner in eight lifetimes! Thinking about it from this aspect, it’s not a bad idea. Yanfu is something you can enjoy for a lifetime!
But the "general" was still unmoved. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the money, or that he disliked the "five black categories", but that he couldn't tolerate others in his heart. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, when he delivered the sea cucumber to the boy as agreed, he happened to meet his cousin and the girl at the boy's home.
They were two gorgeous women. They were sitting in the main room chatting with their faces turned sideways. At first glance, they did look like movie stars, but they were talking and laughing with cigarettes in their mouths. Their behavior was very much like a movie. The female spy in.
The kid who wanted to be a matchmaker was quite proud. After opening the door, he quietly stabbed the "general" with his hand. "How is it? Do you regret it?"
The "general" was dumbfounded by him, thinking that he was indeed a child of the "Five Black Categories" and was too corrupt. Fortunately, he didn't agree. Who cares about such a devilish "vixen". No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is still a piece of trash if she has bad conduct.
So he sent the sea cucumber directly and asked the boy for money, wanting to leave immediately.
Unexpectedly, the sound of their conversation made both women turn their faces. The "general's" outstretched arm immediately froze in mid-air like a plaster statue. He could not describe the feeling of surprise at that time. He was also acting in a movie. It’s not like the scene at that time.
One of the two women turned out to be Han Ying!
Han Ying also immediately recognized the "general", she said "ouch", and then the two of them turned into wooden stakes.
It is not difficult for anyone to guess this kind of scene. The two of them knew each other in the past. Therefore, the two extra people disappeared in a "whoosh".
"General" and Han Ying seemed to have stood opposite each other for ten thousand years before each other regained their vitality. In order not to continue to be embarrassed, the "general" took the initiative to ask Han Ying to go outside for a walk.
Frankly speaking, the heart of the "general" is like a boiling kettle, rolling with a hundred degrees of heat. He talked nonchalantly about his years of searching for Han Ying, and asked Han Ying what happened next. He especially wanted to know how Han Ying lived these years, what she encountered, and how she became more bourgeois than bourgeois.
Although Han Ying silently followed him walking down the street, when faced with his questions, she said nothing and just walked with her head lowered. Let him not know what to do.
Finally, the "general" stopped completely and mustered up the courage to say decisively, "Han Ying, if you really don't want to say it, I won't ask. But you can't marry a man without choosing his appearance. Five hundred yuan I have it. If you want to use it, just take it. You don’t have to think too much, I will get you back to the city no matter what!”
Unexpectedly, Han Ying, who had been silent all this time, not only did not appreciate it, but also spoke heartlessly. "Jiang Haichao! You must not want me!"
After saying that, he dropped him dryly and left.
The "General" seems to have stood on the streets for another ten thousand years. He was so sad that his eyes, which he had sworn never to cry again since his father's death, were actually a little wet.
He was sad for his years of hard work, and he was also sad for Han Ying's current state. He didn't even think that he didn't care that she became as ugly as a spy, and he still wanted to help her, but she would do this to him.
The sparkling youthful and pure Han Ying seems to have disappeared forever!
After "General" returned home, he lay like a sick patient for a long time. He's definitely falling out of love again. He stir-fried on the bed like a fish in a wok for a long time. Finally he jumped up, found the small red notebook and wanted to tear it up to vent his anger. But when things came to a close, when he saw the four words "friendship lasts forever", he couldn't bear it anymore.
Because even though he had not seen Han Ying for so many years, he had just met her for a short time. It was as if he had loved her all his life and felt that he simply couldn't live without her. What's terrible is that the shadows of Han Ying from back then are always flashing in his mind, and they are all beautiful shadows.
Even when he thought of her smoking a cigarette, he forced himself to change his eyes. He felt that it was not so ugly, and that she had a mature and charming beauty.
No way, he fell in love with her a long time ago! I only love her!
So, he quickly found the boy's home again. After finding out the address, he rushed to the educated youth spot where Han Ying jumped in line.
This time it was different. When Han Ying came back from work at night, she was dumbfounded when she saw the "general" and the well-preserved little red notebook he showed off. Then he took him to the threshing floor and started talking himself without waiting for him to speak.
She said, "It was a mistake for you to come to me. You don't know me. If you knew me, you wouldn't be like this."
Then she kept saying that she was no longer the Han Ying of the past, and that Han Ying was dead. She didn't look at "General" at all. She seemed to be saying to him or to herself, "I have no classmates, no friends, no relatives, no job, no household registration, I have nothing..."
"General" saw Han Ying's eyes twinkling and knew she was going to cry. But he was also pleasantly surprised to find that no matter whether she was innocent or mature, Han Ying's two **** eyes looked at him the same way.
At this moment, Han Ying mentioned the phrase "You must not have me!" again, and the "general" suddenly understood the meaning as if enlightened.
God, how simple and clear this sentence is!
In fact, it is not a refusal, but a plea. Doesn't this clearly mean that the initiative is in his hands?
In other words, Han Ying knew about his feelings, but she was afraid that he would be close to her.
She feels unworthy of him!
As for why? In fact, it is not difficult to understand that such a crazy year has ruined a good girl. God knows what kind of misfortunes she has encountered. Even her parents committed suicide. After so many years, she may have also sought death.
Yes, now he will not feel inferior when facing Han Ying, but if he were to choose, he would rather never be able to be by Han Ying's side, and would not want Han Ying to encounter such blows and hardships in her life. .
Fuck you, love everything! As long as she is a living Han Ying!
The "General" glanced at Han Ying secretly. In the shadow, her eyes stared at him nervously and straightly. This made him more certain of his guess, and he immediately emphasized his tone.
"The past is in the past, we don't care about the past! I'm telling you now, if you want money, I will give it to you. If you want to go back to the city, I will help you. But this matter is different from having a partner, although I do If you like you, you must be willing to let me support you for the rest of your life. But you have to decide whether you want to stay with me or not. I won’t force you, and you can’t ruin yourself anymore..."
On this night, the "general" won a great victory. Even the most hard-hearted girl will be moved to tears after hearing his sincere words. He did keep his promise and worked hard to help Han Ying establish connections and organize her transfer.
He gave sea cucumbers to the brigade secretary, cigarettes and wine to the production team leader, and went to the village office to spend money to treat the cadres to food and drinks. He had never treated his leader like this in the past. It was because he didn't bother to do it, not that he didn't know how to do it, but now for Han Ying, he didn't care about anything.
After going back and forth like this, I finally caught up with an opportunity to recruit workers in the city. However, although the village gave Han Ying the recommendation quota, the final decision was still in the hands of the township revolutionary committee.
The party secretary of the brigade went to the countryside specifically for this matter. When he came back, he specially found the "general" and said, "Miss Han's family problem is a big trouble. Normally, it should not be her turn. But there is an opportunity. The daughter-in-law of the director of the Township Revolutionary Committee was newly pregnant and suffering from nausea. She vomited sour water all day long and wanted to eat the "swimming crabs" from "Lao Yang'er" like crazy. But now it's this kind of crab roe. There is nothing the fishermen can do during the season, and the director’s family is almost anxious. If you can catch a few of these crabs and send them over before the final quota is determined, then this will definitely happen!”
Is this difficult?
Difficult!
Because everyone in Bincheng knows that the "swimming crab" is a deep-sea creature. If you want to catch it underwater with one breath, it is definitely equivalent to catching a flying bird with bare hands. And it is extremely dangerous.
But in order to save Han Ying from fire and water, the "general" went to the sky to catch stars and went to the sea to fish for the moon, and he didn't hesitate even a word. He patted his chest on the spot and promised to deliver the crabs early in the morning. As a result, he took the guy into the sea that day.
The tide was too strong that day and the current was particularly strong. Fortunately, with the cooperation of my friends, I finally caught more than twenty of them. When the "general" climbed ashore, it was already dark. But he didn't even think about going home. In order not to delay things, he took Crab directly to the educated youth spot.
He stopped a car on the side of the highway, his headlights glaring, and he wouldn't stop waving his hands no matter what. It was no use even if he held up some conches to bribe the drivers, who couldn't see what he was holding. As a result, he could only continue walking step by step, dragging his almost numb legs.
On the way, he suddenly heard someone calling him in the distance, "Jiang Haichao! Jiang Haichao..."
He immediately recognized that it was Han Ying's voice. He was already so exhausted that he was about to fall asleep, but he regained his energy and immediately walked towards her.
Han Ying immediately threw herself into his arms.
What was asymmetrical to this enthusiasm was that Han Ying cried and cursed the "general" for being stupid. She said it was not worth it for herself. She also said that as soon as she heard that the "general" was fishing for crabs, she walked along the sea until she saw him. If she couldn't see him, she would wait until her leg broke. She was so scared along the way and thought he...
"You thought I was dead?" "General" rushed to the interface with a sense of happiness.
Han Ying immediately covered the "general's" mouth with her hands to prevent him from saying this word. But she herself said something even more fatal, "You shouldn't want me, you shouldn't! It's too late if you don't want me now..."
The "general" was really angry, and for the first time he cursed in front of Han Ying, "You are still thinking nonsense! If you don't want to live with me, just tell me!"
Han Ying was stunned for a moment, then asked a hundred times, "Why are you? Why on earth are you?"
The "general" was still angry and said viciously, "I'll say it again, if you don't want to talk about the past, I will never ask. But if someone has bullied you, and you want to take revenge, take your name." Tell me, I'll kill him now! Tell you, I don't care about your past, it's not your fault! Just for you! As long as you are Han Ying, that's enough for me! You can die!”
Han Ying hugged the "general" and burst into tears. She was forgetful and burst into tears. Louder than the horns of passing cars on the road!
I don’t know how many dazzling car lights shone on them as they embraced each other, shining with golden light, and then plunged them into darkness again. She finally stopped crying.
Suddenly, she whispered again, "Jiang Haichao, I didn't expect you to be so kind... But if I tell you everything, can you still be nice to me?"
"Absolutely better!"
The "General"'s body was suddenly filled with strength. He squatted down suddenly, forced Han Ying to climb onto his back, and then carried her on his back. Stride firmly towards the light in the distance...
