The sky gradually darkened, and in the bedroom of the Wei family, the orange light cast a soft glow.
There was a radio in the house, playing some minor tune, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Wei Yanzhen gently held Deng Zhilan in his arms, and the two of them snuggled up on the soft bedside.
His eyes gradually became distant, as if he had traveled through time to the war-torn land of Vietnam.
"At that time, the environment was extremely harsh. The jungle was hot and humid, and mosquitoes were rampant. But every time we carried out a mission, I saw the trusting eyes of the local people on us, and I felt that everything was worth it."
Wei Yanzhen's voice was low and powerful. Deng Zhilan leaned quietly in his arms, listening attentively. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of heartache and admiration.
"Once, we got lost in the rainforest and were running out of food and water, but we didn't give up. We encouraged each other and finally managed to get out of the predicament."
As Wei Yanzhen spoke, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, expressing his remembrance of his comrades who had fought side by side with him.
Deng Zhilan gently stroked his face and said softly, "You are really brave. You have experienced so many dangers."
Wei Yanzhen held her hand and looked at her affectionately: "Those experiences made me grow up and made me cherish my current life and you even more."
Deng Zhilan leaned closer into his arms, feeling his strong heartbeat.
In this warm atmosphere, they were immersed in the memories of that special time. Love flowed slowly between each other's hearts, as if time had stopped for them.
Afterwards, Wei Yanzhen gave Deng Zhilan a detailed introduction to the time points of the Vietnam War and the significance of each stage, including how to fight on the battlefield and what principles to abide by.
Deng Zhilan was like taking a history lesson, filling in the blank history for her for a long time...
Half a month passed quickly.
The recruitment examination for the Propaganda Team officially began, and the examination rooms were set up in several offices of the Propaganda Team.
Deng Zhilan walked into the examination room.
At this time, there were two people sitting in the examination room, both of whom Deng Zhilan was very familiar with.
But the two of them had different noses and eyes, as if they had a deep hatred and no one even looked at each other.
A man sat in the front row.
The other person sat in the last row.
It was Zhu Qinghan in the front row, and Song Yitao in the back row.
Deng Zhilan averted her gaze and had no intention of talking. She found a seat farther away from the two of them and sat down.
Soon after, young people continued to enter the examination room, many of whom were educated youth, whom Deng Zhilan did not know. There were also young men and women from the village, whom Deng Zhilan did not know either.
In the end, the whole room was packed with people and all the seats were occupied.
The clock struck eight.
A young female comrade with short hair and a small bag in her hand came in at the door on time.
It seems that he is not a candidate, but an examiner.
"White-haired girl?"
"Isn't this the actress who played Xier in The White-Haired Girl?"
The candidates present were talking about it.
After Yu Lianzhou put down his bag, he clapped his hands and said, "Keep quiet!"
Then she introduced herself.
"As you can see, I am the actress who played Xier in The White-Haired Girl. My name is Yu Lianzhou, and I am in charge of the recruitment exam for the publicity team."
"Our Dongfeng Brigade's propaganda team is well-known in the entire society for its treatment. We can show up at the society's performances, receive a 15 yuan allowance every month, and the brigade distributes food..."
Nothing could be more tempting than these conditions.
The people who came to take the exam were sitting below, each with their eyes wider than the other.
After finishing talking about the treatment of the propaganda team, Yu Lianzhou took a piece of chalk and turned to write on the blackboard.
"These are the questions for today's written test. There are three questions in total and the test will take one hour."
"The interview will be held ten minutes after the written test. It will be in the office next door."
