When Lu Wei returned to Qingshan Village again, a long time had passed. She couldn't remember whether it was one year or two years, but it was a very long time.
The Qingshan Winery was built and put into use a long time ago. It has magnificent buildings and a spacious courtyard. It is located at the foot of the mountain and not far from the river bank. I heard that the location was chosen by Fu Baoer himself.
People were coming and going outside, and the road leading to the village was under construction. It seemed that the winery had brought a lot of income to Qingshan Village, so much so that even the road had to be repaired.
Lu Wei laughed at herself, wondering why people here still didn't remember her.
When Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi came out of the winery, they saw a man standing at the door, looking up at something.
"Hello, comrade. Who are you looking for?" Shen Suiyi asked politely. He knew almost everyone here, so he was sure that the other party must be an outsider.
Fu Baoer had already recognized Lu Wei. She didn't say anything and waited quietly for Lu Wei to turn around.
Lu Wei was interrupted from her thoughts by a clear male voice. She subconsciously shrank her body. This was a typical stress response. It seemed that she had not had a good life in the past few years.
"......" Shen Suizhi also recognized Lu Wei. He was a little surprised. The person in front of him was almost completely different from the previous Lu Wei except for the facial features. The pride and arrogance between his eyebrows were gone, and only timidity remained.
This was just a change in appearance, not to mention the other things. The once fair skin became dark, the hair was cut short, dry and hard, and the person was so thin that he looked unrecognizable. If it weren't for Shen Sui's extraordinary memory, he really wouldn't have believed that this was Lu Wei.
In fact, Lu Wei did not recognize Shen Suizhi at first. She did not have a deep impression of Shen Suizhi, but soon, her eyes fell on Fu Baoer behind Shen Suizhi.
Fubaoer wore a light blue shirt today, with the hem neatly tucked into black pants. Her pigtails were thick and shiny, with a faint golden luster in the sunlight. She was so beautiful. I didn't expect that Fubaoer would be so eye-catching when she grew up.
Thirteen-year-old Fu Baoer is a little calmer than when she was a child, but people who know her know that she is just not as playful as before, but she is still as bad-tempered as ever.
Shen Suizhi saw that Lu Wei had forgotten about him and was only staring at Baoer. He subconsciously wanted to block Lu Wei's sight, "You are Comrade Lu Wei, right? Since you are back, I will take you to see the secretary and the captain."
Lu Wei lowered her head and said nothing, silently following behind Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi. Fu Baoer smiled slightly. It seems that Lu Wei has had a hard time these past few years. You said it was fine, so why bother? Isn't this just asking for trouble? Chen Zhifang had pointed out the problem clearly back then, but Lu Wei still insisted on having his own way. Do you think you regret it?
"Baoer, follow! Slow down, wait for us!" Li Jiawei and Wang Qiang caught up from behind. The two of them were walking too fast.
When Lu Wei heard the familiar voice, she turned around and saw Li Jiawei as lively and bright as ever, with her eyes and eyebrows full of passion. Wang Qiang beside her was still mature and steady, but the look he gave Li Jiawei revealed his affection.
In the past few years, Lu Wei has not learned anything else, but she has mastered the art of reading people's expressions. With just one glance, she can tell that Li Jiawei and Wang Qiang should be together.
"You...you are Lu Wei?" Li Jiawei's eyes almost popped out. If she hadn't been so impressed, she would have even forgotten there was such a person.
Wang Qiang didn't expect that their meeting would be in such a scene.
Facing such a Lu Wei, Li Jiawei could no longer utter harsh words, "Lu Wei, are you...are you okay? Why did you leave for so long? We clearly asked the secretary back then, and he said you would be sent back soon."
Yes, it really wouldn't take long. Chen Zhifang still showed some mercy. In the letter he handed to the Youth League Office, he only said that she could not adapt to the life in Qingshan Village and suggested that the organization reassign her. The Youth League Office asked her to stay at home for a few days first, and after they settled it, they would arrange for Lu Wei to go somewhere else, but it was definitely impossible for her to return to the city.
Lu Wei first went to her uncle's house, but was kicked out by her aunt. The woman who had been very gentle to her lost her job, slipped and miscarried her child due to absent-mindedness. From then on, her personality changed drastically. Not only did she regard Lu Wei as a thorn in her side, she also held a grudge against her husband's family.
If they hadn't spoiled Lü Wei so much, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. So many educated youth went to the countryside and nothing happened, so why did Lü Wei always cause such trouble? After Lü Wei's aunt came into the family, she mentioned it many times, both openly and covertly, that her niece was too spoiled. Not only did no one appreciate her kindness, but she was even scolded by her mother-in-law. From then on, she knew that she had to be nice to Lü Wei.
But now, she had lost her child. Why should she endure this? Lü Wei's aunt sent a letter of denunciation to the Youth Corps Office. It detailed how Lü Wei had been spoiled and refused to do farm work. It also listed how much money her parents remitted every month and how many goodies they gave her. The Youth Corps Office saw this and was convinced that it would be impossible not to punish her severely. They had sent away so many educated youth, and this was the first one to be sent back by the brigade!
Could they afford to disgrace this person? The Youth League Office felt they couldn't afford to lose face, and together with the Movement Committee, they subjected Lü Wei to a year-long criticism and education campaign. Lü Wei's family also underwent various suspensions and investigations.
Lu Wei resisted at first, but after being beaten, insulted, paraded, and subjected to all kinds of torture, she finally learned her lesson and began to criticize herself constantly, striving to be freed as soon as possible and return to Qingshan Village to continue her work as an educated youth.
However, things went against their wishes. Although there was no major problem with Lu Wei's family after the investigation, it was found that there was only one child in the family who was too spoiled, so they saved all the money and tickets to give to her. There was nothing else wrong. However, one person in the committee set his sights on Lu Wei.
During the resistance, Lu Wei accidentally injured the man and was sent to a farm for four years of reform. These four years really made her realize how stupid she was. Compared with the hard work and suffering here, life in Qingshan Village was like a fairyland.
How foolish had she been back then to be so dissatisfied with everything and to constantly oppose the villagers? If she hadn't done those things, would she have been able to work as a winery worker like Li Jiawei, wearing a white shirt, looking beautiful and energetic?
But everything is gone. Lu Wei wanted to cry, but she couldn't. In the past few years, she has learned how to make herself strong.
After listening to Lu Wei's brief account, everyone felt sorry for her. Li Jiawei hadn't expected that a single thought could change people's fates so drastically. "Now that you're back, live your life well. You're still young and have the opportunity to start over."
Lu Wei didn't expect that everyone could speak to her so gently. She felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. What had she missed out on all these years?
Fortunately, her household registration has always been in Qingshan Village, so she can come back and start a new life.
