Zhang Hongcheng was in a hurry to catch up with Lao He's truck, so he walked quickly and disappeared in the crowd at the site in the blink of an eye.
Xie Zhuoma followed and searched for a few rounds, but couldn't find the familiar shadow.
"Am I dazzled?"
Xie Zhuoma returned home with doubts.
Her eyes couldn't help but look at a black and white photo more than a foot wide that was hung in the center of the main room wall.
There was also a title written above the photo.
[Group photo of the entire 7th Company on the eve of the counterattack on October 19, 1962].
In the center of the photo are two people arm in arm. One is her lover, Tao Ju, the instructor of the Seventh Company at the time, and the other is Zhang Qianyi, the company commander of the Seventh Company.
The young Xie Zhuoma stood in the gap behind the two men with a medical kit on her shoulder and a smile on her face. Beside her were more than 80 gun-wielding soldiers from the seventh company, with their chests puffed out and their chins held high.
"Are you really seeing things? They look alike, and the patch on that dress was clearly sewn there by me..."
Zhang Hongcheng failed to catch up with Lao He's truck. Xiao Qin was not at the site today, so this guy and his truck had long disappeared.
Zhang Hongcheng had no choice but to take another ox cart that was going the same way.
The ox cart will pass through Chunyang Village, which is not far from the Fifth Company.
The fare was three cigarettes.
The ox cart swayed as it passed Chunyang Village, and it was already half dark.
Zhang Hongcheng jumped off the ox cart carrying a lot of things and happened to see Wu Jianlei who had just returned from work.
"Your company's dinner bell rang eight hundred years ago. You'd better go to my place and have a bite."
Faced with Wu Jianlei's enthusiastic invitation, Zhang Hongcheng did not refuse.
Coincidentally, he was also very interested in exploring the Chunyang Village in the story.
Wu Jianlei helped him carry a bunch of things into the village.
Chunyang Village is not wealthy, and most of the houses are low-rise, and a considerable number of them have thatched roofs.
The building made of logs is the brigade headquarters.
The educated youth point is located on the west side of the village. It was converted from an old, uninhabited house.
Six or seven male educated youth and seven female educated youth lived in two small rooms.
The reason why Wu Jianlei came back late was that there was only one stove here, and as newcomers, he and Fang Chunmiao were the last ones to cook.
Fang Chunmiao cooked white rice porridge today as a way to improve her life.
No wonder Wu Jianlei dared to invite Zhang Hongcheng to dinner.
Zhang Hongcheng ignored the inquiring looks of the educated youth.
He found a piece of bacon from his belongings, chopped it up and put it into the porridge.
The porridge for two people is enough for three people.
The aroma of white porridge and bacon drifted into the rooms of the educated youth, making many of them unable to help but look at the kitchen from time to time.
Many people can’t remember the last time they ate meat.
Kong Zhili spat at the kitchen in anger.
"It's so unfair! Why can they serve as educated youth in the military corps and get paid, while we have to come to this godforsaken place and join the queue?"
Zhou Qiangbing and Fu Guofu didn't say anything, but in fact they thought the same thing.
Duan Xinman had been in and out of the female educated youth's room several times. She had her ears perked up, eavesdropping on the conversation of the three people in the kitchen.
Especially Wu Jianlei's praise for Zhang Hongcheng, she heard it carefully.
"You won first prize in the corps again?! You're really good!"
"You've been promoted to full-time employee within a month, your salary has been raised by one level, and your article has won two first-class awards. Your future prospects are bright!"
Wu Jianlei deliberately raised his voice so that many people could hear it.
The male educated youth who were indignant just now were immediately deflated. It's really true that comparing yourself to others makes you feel thwarted.
They really can't be jealous of such a gifted person.
But Duan Xinman stopped and her eyes became increasingly hot.
She had just taken a sneak peek at this Zhang Zhiqing and found him to be quite good-looking.
I am also the most good-looking among the educated youth in Chunyang Village... If I could be with this person...
What does the food I lost matter?
Duan Xinman was thinking about how to get Zhang Hongcheng, while Zheng Xianghong was thinking about how to get the things that Zhang Hongcheng brought.
She always felt that Zhong Hansheng had lost a lot of weight recently.
And this educated youth brought several kinds of meat!
And Zheng Xianghong never thought of spending money to buy it.
She likes to "use her brain".
Chu Miaohong still hid herself in the corner, looking coldly at Duan Xinman pacing back and forth and Zheng Xianghong with her eyes rolling around.
——So his last name is Zhang...So Zhang Yumin didn’t come, but her brother came?
Chu Miaohong felt a little strange.
Why didn't Zhang Yumin's brother settle down in the village, but instead went to the Corps Farm across the street?
She was not jealous at the time, in fact she also thought it was a good thing.
She would feel inexplicably happy that there was one less person suffering in this damn place, Chunyang Village.
It’s just that Zhang Yumin’s brother seems to be a bit of a pushover.
He helped me last time, and this time he carried so many things without carrying anyone on his back.
It was obvious that he had been targeted by Duan Xinman and Zheng Xianghong!
Duan Xinman hesitated for a while, straightened her hair, and then went to the kitchen with a washbasin.
"Ah, the ground is so slippery~!"
Everyone heard Duan Xinman's deliberately loud exclamation.
Then there was a loud fall and Duan Xinman's scream.
Zhang Hongcheng had an apologetic look on his face, but he stepped aside and did not catch Duan Xinman who deliberately threw herself at him.
"It's dark in the kitchen, comrade, please be careful."
