Lin Yu's first semester at university ended in July.
She was originally supposed to have her engagement ceremony in early August, but...
Gu Yunze did not return that year.
Lin Yu later received a letter and learned that Qiao Feng had also gone to the battlefield, and the two even met there.
While the battlefield was engulfed in gunfire, Lin Yu's life continued as usual.
Occasionally, I would get together with a few old friends at Oumanqing's house. Song Meili came over a few times, and I would accompany her to travel around.
Sometimes I would call the Lin family and contact Lin Wen. I learned that she had published several articles at school and even won awards.
Lin Yu achieved excellent results in her final exams and received a scholarship.
Li Huizhu still visits her often; being with Lin Yu makes her feel more at ease.
When Lin Yu is alone, she always thinks of that person far away.
He would write to Lin Yu about the unusual insects he had eaten, the new comrades he had made, and how different the weather was from that in Beicheng...
But he never wrote about whether he was injured, whether anyone was killed, or whether he was afraid.
Lin Yu dug out all the letters he had written in previous years and piled them up into a small mountain.
Unbeknownst to them, they had known each other for so many years.
Lin Yu thought that Gu Yunze had become an important part of her life, and she could never sever ties with him.
As she read the words of encouragement they exchanged in the letter, she recalled the years they hadn't been together, yet still cared for each other.
I secretly made a decision in my heart...
-
This year is an important year for the entire country.
The moment the decision to reform and open up was announced, the entire university campus was abuzz with excitement.
College students are the most concerned about current events, especially Lin Yu and her classmates.
As the national economy changed, economics suddenly became a popular major.
Many of Lin Yu's classmates were assigned to this major, but in the 1979 college entrance examination, this major became the first choice for many students.
Lin Yu's class can be said to have caught a fast train.
We are currently in the nascent stage and need more professionals.
So these students, who got into university based on their genuine abilities, were forced into taking on a lot of tasks.
In her sophomore year, in addition to studying, Lin Yu also had to go out and conduct research with her teachers and give reports.
Because of her excellent grades, she was selected for Professor Wang's research group at the school.
Professor Wang is a talent who returned from overseas. In the past few years, he was protected by others and did not suffer much harm.
However, it remained silent for many years.
Times have changed, and his professional skills are now highly valued.
He even attended several large conferences.
As his student, Lin Yu was often impressed by his advanced insights.
Knowing what would happen in the future, Lin Yu admired Professor Wang's foresight even more.
Many of the things he said will come true in the future.
Professor Wang had a deep memory of Lin Yu because whenever he talked about the future situation, the student would always look at him with bright eyes.
It was as if to say, "You are right."
Professor Wang found it amusing; this student trusted him far too much, believing everything he said.
So when he was forming the research team, he included Lin Yu in it.
He told her, "You need to see for yourself and do it yourself to gain a deeper understanding, instead of just believing what the teacher says."
Lin Yu was hard to explain. Did the professor really think she was so indecisive?
Unfortunately, she couldn't tell him that she knew the future and that many of the things the professor mentioned would come to pass.
Perhaps even the professor himself only thought it was a beautiful fantasy.
But regardless of anything else, being able to join the research team was a good thing for Lin Yu.
So many people wanted to be selected by Professor Wang, but they never expected that this opportunity would fall into their laps.
Lin Yu secretly rejoiced.
Professor Wang's team was assembled in the summer of 1979.
Gu Yunze still hasn't returned...
Lin Yu followed Professor Wang to Guangzhou, a city she hadn't visited in a long time, and also took the opportunity to visit Ou Manqing's parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Ou were very happy to see Lin Yu and treated her like their own daughter.
Lin Yu brought them photos of Ou Manqing's family, as well as gifts that Ou Manqing had asked her to bring them.
The two were overjoyed.
Lin Yu also learned from Ou's father that Yu Haiyang and Zhang Li had returned to the city.
They were the worst-performing educated youth in Lianhua Brigade, and they failed to get into university in their first year.
Later, restrictions were imposed on married individuals, making it even more impossible to take the exam unless the couple divorced.
The problem is that even if they divorce, they still won't be able to get into university.
Those who understand the times are wise, and the two ultimately chose to give up.
Lin Yu and a group of educated youth left. They didn't want to stay in the countryside anymore, so they found a way to return to the city.
Ou Manqing did not pursue and eliminate Haiyang and Zhang Lili to the fullest extent of the law; he simply ignored them.
Lin Yu could roughly understand that in this life, the two of them hadn't had the chance to do such heinous things yet, and if Ou Manqing were to target them, it would only be detrimental to himself.
Although Zhang Lili had been Lin Yu's secretary and Yu Haiyang had worked with her at the food factory for a while, Lin Yu still didn't like either of them.
So even after arriving in Guangzhou, Lin Yu didn't think about contacting them.
When Mrs. Ou spoke of the two of them, she looked disgusted: "Neither of them are good people. They cause chaos as soon as they come back."
Yu Haiyang's parents were not falsely accused when they fell into misfortune, so there is no question of them being exonerated.
We simply don't have the ability to arrange jobs for them now.
Needless to say, Zhang Li's family was dirt poor.
