Ever since he found out there was a gun buried in the abandoned house, he no longer even dared to knock on the door. Who knows who in the village is a spy? What if he was exposed if he knocked on the door?
Guan Huashu is known for his sharp eyes! Of all the other kids in the village, he's the only one who's so easygoing and always asks him to do anything. This kid is really smart, has a good mind, and is skilled; he's a natural for criminal investigation.
When he reached the wall of Fifth Grandpa's house, about five meters away, he sped up and ran towards it. He stepped onto the wall and used the momentum to jump up. With his hands together, he climbed up the wall steadily, turned over, and landed silently. This kid is really good!
I walked to the west room and knocked on the window gently: "Second uncle, it's me, something happened."
Guan Huashu got up quickly, hurried out of the house to open the door for Suihe, and led him into Fifth Grandpa's room without turning on the lights.
"Fifth Grandfather, Second Uncle, Projectionist Li just went to the dilapidated dirt yard at Guan Laojiu's house. There's a gun buried there!"
"In that shabby yard of Guan Laojiu?"
"Yes, I'm pretty sure what he dug out was a gun. I heard the sound of it being loaded. He was afraid that the villagers would hear him knocking on the door, so he just climbed over the wall to come in."
"Good boy, you did the right thing! Always be on the lookout for people around you. It seems like there are spies in our village too! The class enemy is right next to us, and they're hiding deep inside."
"Suihe, stop running back and forth and sleep here with your Fifth Grandpa. Tomorrow morning, ask your Second Aunt to make something delicious. You've worked so hard. Go to sleep quickly. I'll let Erkui take over the surveillance."
"Okay, Second Uncle."
After saying this, Guan Huashu got up and went outside. Suihe didn't even take off his clothes, but just lay down on the kang and went to sleep. He knew he would have to continue the surveillance tomorrow, so he didn't hesitate.
Guan Huashu went to the yard where the militiamen were hiding, whispered the situation, and told Erkui to climb the tree and continue to monitor projectionist Li.
Guan Huashu told the militia captain about the buried gun in private. He was so angry that he wanted to catch the spy as soon as possible.
The next day, Shui Shui took the notebook and found an excuse to visit the educated youth center. She wanted to verify her guess.
"Sister Lingling, are you in the room?"
Zhao Lingling, a young intellectual from Beijing, was a top student in the livestock farming industry. She came here to support national development through the "Send Down to the Countryside" program. During natural disasters, people had nothing to eat, let alone livestock farming, so upon arriving, she realized she had no place to use her talents. When Shui Shui went to work in the fields, she was sometimes assigned to the same group as her. We had similar interests and always got along well, so we became close friends.
"Here I am, here I am. Do you want to sleep? Come in."
As she said this, she got down from the kang, put on her cloth shoes and hurried out of the house. Shui Shui followed her into the house, holding a book in her hand and saying that she didn't understand something and wanted to ask her.
"What don't you understand? Why are you being so polite to me? Why are you asking for advice? You little rascal!"
Shui Shui stuck out her tongue, showing the playfulness of a 13-year-old girl to the fullest, which really made it difficult for her.
Arriving at the female educated youth's room, there were three people lying on the kang, two of them asleep, and only one, Xia Zhiqing, was still lying there reading. Shui Shui lowered his voice so as not to disturb the other two.
"Sister Lingling, look at this paragraph. I've thought about it for a long time, but I still don't understand whether it's about letting him go or not." As he said that, he handed the book to Zhao Lingling.
Zhao Lingling took the book, glanced at it, and flipped forward. "Look, this sentence says, 'Since you're already married, forget it.' Its premise already states the outcome; it represents an end. 'Forget it,' used in certain situations, means compromise, or agreement. For example: 'Forget it, I'll just do as you say.' This means agreement. Another example: 'Forget it, you two go together.' This means unwillingness, not wanting to.
"I see. Thank you, Sister Lingling. By the way, have the male educated youths rested yet? Why didn't they go to the movies?"
"Everyone is here except Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang is really something. He is so tired after working all day. He goes running every night recently. I really admire his physical strength. You see, we are so tired when we come back that we don’t want to move at all. How many days has he been like this?" He asked Xia Zhiqing next to him while saying this.
"It's been four or five days, right?" Xia Zhiqing said.
Shui Shui had a general understanding in his mind, and after talking to them quietly in the house, he went home.
I also concluded in my heart that there was something wrong with this Zhang Zhiqing.
