Return To 1977 Chapter 251: Close the clouds and see the sun

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Life seems to be difficult.

Most of the time, all living beings in the world are controlled by fate, being coerced, teased, and tossed back and forth involuntarily.

As an ordinary life form, "human beings" usually can only be patient and wait.

It has been almost a year since he returned to the capital, and Chang Xianzhang's current situation is particularly uncomfortable.

What worries him is that there is no possibility of any change in the political situation of his entire family. Moreover, he was tortured by the pressure of survival and emotional confusion at the same time.

He returned to the capital originally because of the news that the "great man" was about to come back. But although this matter has become a reality, its impact and effect are far from what he expected, saving the Chang family from the quagmire.

The incident involving his parents almost caused him to break his leg while running, and he also submitted a lot of materials to plead for his parents' vindication and removal of their hats. But no matter whether it was the Organization Department of the Education Bureau, the Petition Office of Yongding Gate, or the political work team of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University, no matter how hard he tried to break the threshold, there was no progress at all.

The better reception staff could say a few words of relief when they saw him, saying that there were tens of thousands of people like his in the country, and they could only try various methods and wait patiently.

The bad ones will say, "The problem of the 'Lao Right' is different from that of the 'capitalist roaders'. There is no possibility of misdemarcation. Don't do it again." It's just like beating him to death with a stick and giving him a hard time. nail.

Of course, it’s not like he hasn’t thought of other ways. For example, some of his father's close friends and relatives were still in office. Anyone he could find out about them would come to his door to plead with him.

It's a pity that his father is a nerd who only knows about learning. When he was the deputy director, he was famous for his rigid temperament and scholarly spirit, and he was very gentle in his interactions with others. He is neither popular with his superiors nor his subordinates, has very few friends, and offends far more people than those close to him.

So those few people who might be able to help are not enthusiastic about the Chang family's affairs. Some people even tore off the masks of the old disguise and ridiculed the Chang family's current desolation.

This allowed him to see the ugliest and most philistine side of human nature, and also fully understand what it means to be warm and cold in human relationships and the coldness of the world.

During these days, the only thing that could make him feel warm and moved was the tenderness from Gu Lingye.

This girl who had been waiting for him for eight years like "Wang Baochuan" never wanted to be separated from him since he returned to the capital.

No matter how her natal family tried to persuade or scare her, she would always say, "I will be a member of the Chang family for the rest of my life. If I can't get into the Chang family, I will never marry."

This made her parents so angry that they pretended they had never given birth to this daughter and wanted to break away from her.

But she doesn't care at all. Every day, I only care about Zi Lai sewing and mending for him, washing and washing him, asking for help, cleaning and cooking. Everything distributed by the unit was sent to him, and whenever I had free time, I would help him run around and get information.

To put it bluntly, she is completely obsessed with thinking of herself as the daughter-in-law of the Chang family. If the Gu family hadn't been watching closely, she would have stolen the household registration book and dragged him to register for marriage.

As for him, his unyielding and extremely persistent love for Gu Lingye was of course inexplicably moved and deeply cherished. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a great mental pressure and an unspeakable inferiority complex.

Because if we follow the ancient saying of our ancestors that "poor and lowly couples will always suffer," or the philosopher's theory that "the economic base determines the superstructure," their future is obviously not bright at all.

Don’t forget, Wang Baochuan stayed at Han Kiln for eighteen years, and what awaited him was Xue Pinggui, who became King of Xiliang after becoming famous. But he is an idler with no household registration, no food and oil connections, no fixed occupation, and it is difficult to support himself.

It sounds worse than an ordinary farmer who is well-established and honest. What can he do to protect this relationship, fulfill the responsibilities of a husband, and bring happiness to the person he loves?

It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, it’s that he can’t use his strength! It’s not that he has no knowledge, it’s that the knowledge is useless! It's not that he doesn't have the ability, it's just the reality.

In these days, even if a person has great talent, unparalleled martial arts, a wealth of knowledge, and extraordinary abilities, as long as the political problem is not resolved, there will be no place for him anywhere.

So all along, as he ran into obstacles again and again, his psychology became weaker and weaker.

Especially at the end of the year, the money given to him by Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had basically been used up, and he had to rely on Gu Lingye's savings and salary to live.

But what does it feel like every time he takes money from Gu Lingye? It hurt like a pinprick.

This kind of stimulation made him clearly realize that reality had no room for him to move. Love, marriage, and a happy life are all luxuries to him. He couldn't afford it! Can he live like this for a while? Is it possible that he can live like this for a lifetime?

He really doesn’t know when he will be able to come forward. He even feels that his parents’ problem may never be solved!

Therefore, even though the two of them stayed together until night several times, and Gu Lingye had the intention to "stay", he always restrained himself rationally and did not dare to cross that thunderous step at all.

The more he loved, the more afraid he was, fearing that he would ruin Gu Lingye's life. He even had the urge to break up with Gu Lingye again! Advise her to look for the happiness that should have been hers long ago!

The most painful thing is that he cannot bear this unbearable psychological burden to anyone, and can only suffer in his own heart.

He did not dare to write to his parents for fear that they would blame themselves and become anxious. He didn't dare to tell his sister that she already had a small family of her own. She had enough to worry about in her daily life and work, and it was useless to make her worry about him.

Of course, he did not dare to let Gu Lingye see any of his thoughts.

Not to mention that he really loved her to the extreme. Just saying that these eight years have passed, she is already twenty-eight years old, and the best youthful time of her life has been spent waiting for herself.

And for this unimaginable persistence, and for the nearly a hundred unsent love letters in the study, how could he, how dare he, break the rekindled hopes and dreams of this infatuated girl?

That is really cruel!

He was confused, he was trapped, he was panicked, he really felt the pain of being at a loss and in a dilemma.

So in front of him, even though he was watching Gu Lingye trying to find ways to get New Year's goods, he himself had no enthusiasm for the New Year at all. In fact, he felt uneasy even with every meager meal he ate. He simply didn't know whether he deserved to live.

It was at this time that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan arrived.

It should be said that for Chang Xianzhang, who was in trouble, the visit of his two students on the last day of the year was simply too timely.

This is not only because they brought generous annual gifts, which solved his urgent need. It also allowed him to finally find someone to whom he could express his anguish.

What was even more unexpected was that after he couldn't help but talk about it, Hong Yanwu gave him a firm and powerful refutation and reasoned analysis of all his concerns and confusions.

He never dreamed that one day, his own students would teach him a crucial lesson.

"Oh, my teacher Chang, don't be anxious! Is there no one to object to the 'great man''s comeback? There is no resistance? The country is in dire straits, and it is difficult to recover. There must be a process before things will get better. ..."

"Old Chang, I think you have to look at things this way. Don't just speculate and analyze policy directions, but also consider the methods of doing things. For example, I think the policy that the upper management just released is a trial process. We need to test how strong the resistance is, and how strong the support is. Like the "great man" who quietly focused on science and technology education as soon as he came out, but the college entrance examination was restored at the end of the year. What a clever move, and he was confident and understood. If the public support is strong, then there is no need to hesitate in the next step. We can directly compete for public opinion and overturn the unjust, false and wrongful convictions caused by previous "movements". Of course, this process must be sequential. I know the director's son. His news will not exceed this year at most, and there will definitely be specific policies. This is a matter of course, there is no doubt about it..."

"But there are policies. This is just the general trend at the strategic level. If you really want to get things done, you have to be tactically focused on methods and methods. You see, at least one thing I said is right. The whole country is waiting for vindication and removal of hats. There are more than ten million families. Is it possible to solve it all at once? It’s like queuing up to buy something. You can buy it without going through the back door, but just wait until the end..."

"Old Chang, what I mean is that we have to work hard if we can, and we can't be too arrogant. If nothing else, can Teacher Gu afford to wait? Your parents are still suffering, so we should solve it one day earlier. That's different. Of course, I know you're not good at this. Just like when you first visit relatives, you just show up with some small gifts and point out that you're just looking for friendship. That's definitely not going to work. Don't worry, I'll give you some advice later..."

"By the way, since we are talking about Teacher Gu, please forgive me for being disrespectful and have to say a few words. In fact, in my opinion, you have to marry someone no matter what. Yes, I understand, you think a man should She is the protector of women, but you are wrong to think so, because your relationship has reached this point, and nothing the world can stop you from marrying her. I'm sorry for her...

"To put it bluntly, what does Teacher Gu want from waiting for you for eight years? It's not that you can get ahead or that your father can be restored to his official position. In other words, he wants to live a down-to-earth life with you. He has already done the best. Bad plan. But if you can't even get this marriage certificate, then you are really sorry. Teacher, it may take more courage to accept love than to give love, but it is also a man's responsibility..."

"In short, don't worry about material things. I'm not bragging. In fact, for us brothers, the easiest thing now is money. I will definitely never let you suffer from poverty again. Yes. Look, I have brought you all the money. You can spend this money first. We will tell you how much you need later..."

"Don't, don't let it go, master and disciple are like father and son! Not to mention that it was us who tricked you into this, even if we follow the old etiquette, we have to provide for you until you die... You are a person, you can't push me anymore. I'm tired of it. I've fallen out of favor. I remember when we were making up classes and reading at your place, and you ate and drank for several years and you didn't even get a penny. This money is justifiable even if it's a late make-up fee... Where did it come from? Why are you like my elder brother? Don’t worry, we earned it with our hands in Bincheng! If you don’t believe me, just ask Quanzi..."

"Old Chang, we are not being hypocritical. I think your current vision is a bit too limited, and your mind is narrowed. Take a step back, you see, both of us in the labor camp can live a comfortable life on our own. Days. Why do you think there is no chance in this world? You are so negative! No matter what, we can still have food and milk. There will also be..."

Not to mention, Hong Yanwu draws analogies from analogy. He interprets and predicts policy trends from the perspective of utilitarian gains and losses, and analyzes the relationship between Chang Xianzhang and Gu Lingye from the perspective of human nature, which all makes sense.

In addition, he used himself as an example, which truly proved that there are still more choices in life, and as long as you work hard, you will have better results. So Chang Xianzhang was like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun. Not only did his heart suddenly become brighter, but the layers of fog in front of his eyes were also cleared one by one.

Indeed, under the influence of Hong Yanwu, he rekindled hope in life, and the long-lost confidence and optimism returned to him unknowingly...

Near noon, Gu Lingye, wiping away tears, finally returned to Chang Xianzhang's house with two kilograms of pork, a can of tomato sauce, a kilogram of Fuqiang powder, a kilogram of cut cakes, a bottle of fruit wine and half a kilogram of fruit candies. downstairs.

She left home early this morning and went to the Caishikou vegetable market. But the place was already overcrowded. Everything she could afford required tickets and books, but she couldn't afford the things that didn't require tickets or books. So after a lot of effort, she only managed to get some cut cakes and fruit candies.

After last thought, she felt that tomorrow was New Year's Eve, so she had to make dumplings for Chang Xianzhang. So he simply went home again. I had a big fight with my parents, until I cried my eyes out like peach, and finally I got mercy from my parents and took away some of the things they had prepared for the New Year.

However, when she went upstairs, she tidied herself up, wiped away her tears, and tried her best to smile. Because she knew that Chang Xianzhang had been upset recently, and she really didn't want him to see that she had been wronged.

But what happened next was really strange. As soon as she entered the corridor, she smelled the strong aroma of stewed meat, and when she opened the door of Chang's house...

Drink! A sumptuous meal was already laid out on the dining table in front of the living room. There are egg stalls, sweet and sour pork ribs, prawns and cabbage, and a bottle of Osmanthus Chen...

Even the walls and the floor are dazzling, with many colorful, high-end and in-demand New Year goods...

While she was in shock, Chang Xianzhang, wearing an apron, also walked out of the kitchen carrying dishes and chopsticks. He also showed a smile that was rare in recent days and greeted him affectionately.

"Ling Ye, you are back, are you hungry? Today we will also improve and let you have a taste of my craftsmanship..."

Of course Gu Lingye looked in disbelief and asked urgently.

"Xianzhang, what's going on?"

"Hey, Xiao Wu and Quanzi are here. These are all sent by them. Those two brats, one of them is 'Old Chang', they really treat me as brothers, no matter how big or small..."

"Huh? What about them?"

"I'm leaving, I can't keep you no matter what. I'm probably still afraid of seeing you and being embarrassed again..."

Gu Lingye blushed.

"Am I that scary? In fact, I can only thank them now. If it weren't for them, how would you have come back? This... is so embarrassing..."

"It's okay, we agreed. They will come to visit us again on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Just cook some good dishes then. By the way, doesn't your father like to eat seafood? They sent a lot, so you can take more back. And those cans and fruits..."

"Okay, okay, I know you have two good students who don't forget their roots, so don't show off..."

"As I said, they were your first students..."

At this time, Gu Lingye looked at the energetic Chang Xianzhang and really smiled from the bottom of his heart...
