Chapter 124 The Summoning of Mountains and Rivers...1978 Final Chapter
Xiuxiu read the letter back and forth six times. Every time she read the four words "Mountain and River Calling Order", she felt the weight and awe, and she became more and more understanding of Zhang Jiancheng's decision.
Every time she read the part where he told her all his savings, she would feel sad again, and her hands would tremble. How much did he trust her without any reservation, as if he was entrusting her with family matters.
400 yuan is a huge amount of money in this era. It turns out that he was not poor from the beginning. How did this man become so rich and how did he live his life? The big yard with shabby houses and tiles became his Protective coloration.
Every time she read "Happy New Year, Xiuxiu, be sure to wait for my return!" She felt that her heart was so soft and collapsed, and her longing for him suddenly exploded and became uncontrollable.
These words would never come out of the mouth of the always serious Zhang Jiancheng, so they are particularly heartwarming when they appear on paper.
It wasn't until the seventh time that she paid attention to the sentence "I left you a Spring Festival gift."
She put the letter away, got up and got down, quickly walked to the table with a candle, and sure enough she saw a small bag.
Xiuxiu opened the bag and took out a mirror. It was a good round mirror. The surface of the mirror was as big as two palms. It was embedded in an iron frame and could be propped up. The quality of the mirror was very good and clear, and there were layers of inlaid inlays on the back. A dyed landscape.
She poured out a few more small tin boxes from the bag, and they turned out to be lip balm. They were classic yellow small tin boxes from the Friendship brand. There were six in total.
Xiuxiu thought of his words "Happy New Year, be sure to wait for my return!" and couldn't stop crying again.
She felt uncomfortable holding back her heart, so she let go
After putting down his things, he turned around and rushed out of the house, knocking on the door of the main house: "Dachuan! Can the team's tractor be driven out?"
She had a strong impulse and wanted Dachuan to take her to chase Zhang Jiancheng!
In the main room, his father opened the door and came out with his clothes on, "Stop crowing! Dachuan sent Jiancheng to the county Armed Forces Department to report and assemble. The rooster crowed for the first time and then left!"
Xiuxiu's eyes were blank, this person is so cruel! He actually left in this way, and he didn’t know when we would meet again.
"Xiuxiu! Although your father and I have been living in this remote mountainous area all our lives, waiting to die, and have never contributed to our country, we still understand what is meant by 'when the country is in trouble, every man is responsible'!"
Feng Laogen looked at Xiuxiu's absent-minded look, wrapped up his clothes and said, "Just be more liberal if you want, I will take care of you from now on, and you young people should do what young people should do!"
Xiuxiu stared, lowered her voice and asked, "He told you he was going to the battlefield?"
"I didn't say it! Do you need to say it?" Feng Laogen also whispered to Xiuxiu: "If nothing happens, can the chief issue a recall order to him? Your father and I have lived so long, how can we still see this? clear?"
As he said that, he picked up something from the window sill and handed it to Xiuxiu: "Jianjiancheng left me such a thing, study it on how to use it!"
Xiuxiu took it and looked at it in the clear pre-dawn light. It was an old-fashioned radio.
Xiuxiu went back to the house, put the radio on the table and turned it over, looking at it. The iron box was quite heavy, and the trademark was obvious, it was from the Red Star brand.
She put the antenna up and turned on the switch. There was a tearing sound immediately. She quickly turned down the volume and turned around to see that Dandan was still there.
When I fell asleep, I started to study the channel tuning.
After adjusting for a long time, it was already slightly light before I heard the signal. It happened to be the morning report of the radio station. The announcer's old-fashioned voice came out from the loudspeaker:
"The congress made the historic decision to shift the focus of the country's work to economic construction and implement reform and opening up, and called on everyone..."
The message was immediately received, and Xiuxiu finally heard the news she had been waiting for. The [-]th session of the session had passed, and the spring breeze was about to blow!
Xiuxiu was excited and sad. She set up the mirror given to her by Zhang Jiancheng. In the dim light of the morning, she saw her own face in the mirror. She was thin but young, sad but firm, deep but full of vitality.
She opened the ice cream next to her. It had a strong fragrance. She dabbed a little of the ice cream on her face, and her face immediately brightened up. Her face was covered with elastic and full collagen. For the first time, Xiuxiu saw clearly that she had been reborn. Young and beautiful!
"Radio? Cream? And a mirror!" Feng Yingying's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Xiuxiu.
Yingying rushed in like the wind, lay down in front of the table and looked at the things on the table eagerly several times, then hugged Xiuxiu's arm, shook her and said coquettishly: "Sister! I want it too!"
"Go away! No!" Xiu Xiu shook her off and said seriously: "Keep your voice down, don't wake up Dandan!"
Ever since Xiuxiu came back from her illness, she had always been strict with Feng Yingying. As soon as her younger sister became more playful, she would immediately arrange various housework for her.
There were changes in her family. Although Feng Yingying was still a child, she still had her own calculations in mind. She knew that she had nowhere to go except this home.
, so I was afraid of Xiuxiu and didn't dare to be disobedient.
Although she was obedient, she always had to speak up. Feng Yingying lowered her voice and pursed her lips and said, "Don't you dislike Zhang Jiancheng? Why are the things he gave so rare? He's already gone, so maybe he can't Come back!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiuxiu glared at her sister and asked, "What do you know? How do you know?"
Feng Yingying spread her hands and said helplessly: "I'll sleep in the back room, please don't always pretend that I don't exist!"
Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment. Zhang Jiancheng was talking to his father in the house last night. He must have known that Feng Yingying was sleeping in the back room and could hear him. He was not a person who would make disciplinary mistakes. This showed that the emergency recall was not completely confidential and should be semi-transparent. state.
Feng Yingying hugged Xiuxiu's arm again and said persistently: "Sister! I'll help you look after your balls, and I promise to keep an eye on them! Give me a box, I want one!"
Xiu Xiu looked at her younger sister's coquettish look and thought that she had indeed been much more honest recently and was working very hard to take care of her balls. As long as the family was busy, she would take over.
Although this child is a little bit arrogant, he has been fawning over Xiu Xiu and letting her cook every day since the family accident. Although she has been complaining, she has never refused to light firewood, set up pots, and clean up after meals. This is gone. It’s pitiful that my mother’s child suddenly became independent!
"Here you go, save it!" Xiuxiu picked up a box of cream and handed it to her sister.
Feng Yingying's eyes lit up. She took it and said excitedly: "Thank you, sister! You are the best!" Then she took the mirror, opened the box, and couldn't wait to apply it on the mirror.
Xiuxiu looked at her clumsy look
, I thought to myself, in the future, this sister will not be as bad as in the previous life, and will cause a lot of trouble for her sister!
Just as I was thinking about it, the radio continued to broadcast the content of the [-]th session: "The conference has put forward new requirements for all personnel..."
Xiuxiu felt like a fire was burning in her heart. She glanced at the new calendar on the wall, got up, walked over and tore off yesterday's page. The new page read, January 1979, 1.
She put her hand on the words 1979 and said silently in her heart: Goodbye 1978, goodbye for the second time, Zhang Jiancheng, you must come back alive, take advantage of the spring breeze of the new era, and create another miracle of the elite of the era...
