No matter what they planned in their minds, it would be in vain until the news of the establishment of the test site came out.
Of course, some people have this kind of dream, but some people see it very clearly. After the last teacher incident, Song Yan and others have completely seen the intentions of the higher-ups. As long as they are still educated youths, they will not be able to play their due role. They are like chicken ribs that are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
For the first time, Song Yan felt lost. What was the point of this group of people going to the countryside? What was the future for them? He couldn't see clearly.
"What's wrong? You look depressed?"
Song Yan was startled by the sound behind him, and then he came to his senses. He turned around and saw that it was Su Qingyun, holding a small bamboo basket in her hand.
"Nothing? Where are you going?" Song Yan asked with a smile.
"I'm going to find Xia Qiu and go up the mountain to pick mushrooms together." Su Qingyun stared at him. "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Because of their previous contact, she had a pretty good relationship with Song Yan. When she saw him standing in the field with a lonely look on his face, she couldn't help but ask him a few more questions.
Song Yan moved his lips. He didn't want to say anything, but after meeting Su Qingyun's gaze, he inexplicably felt a desire to confide in her. He thought for a moment and said, "Qingyun, what do you think is the way out for our generation?"
His tone was melancholy and low, with a hint of confusion.
Su Qingyun was surprised, then laughed, "How come you've been thinking about such a serious question for a long time?"
She looked around and sat down on the edge of the field without caring whether it was clean or not. She had turned the soil over two days ago, so today she had to let the land wake up again so that she could start sowing.
"Come, sit down." Su Qingyun called him.
Song Yan pursed his lips and sat next to her as she said. The early spring morning brought a cool breeze, but also a fresh scent in the air, the fragrance of flowers, the scent of newly rising buds, and the special scent of turned soil, a scent that belonged only to this world.
Su Qingyun looked into the distance and asked softly, "Song Yan, you ask this kind of question because you think our generation is living in a bad era?"
Song Yan was silent for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "The book talks about bad luck and a difficult life. I think this might be the fate of our generation, right?"
The development of society, the changes in the system, and the fate of the little people under the influence of big countries are really too insignificant. They are powerless to resist all these storms and can only bear them.
Su Qingyun heard the bitterness in his tone and sighed, "There's really very little we ordinary people can do in the face of the tide of the times. The book talks about bad luck and a difficult life, but it also says that even when old, one should be strong. Even if we are poor, we should still be determined and never give up our ambition to rise to the top. If we can't change the world, then we can do our best to prevent the world from changing us."
"If only it were that easy." Song Yan's sigh did not come from his throat, but seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and continued, "I know an uncle who came from the capital to our small town. It's no exaggeration to say that he fell from the clouds into the mud. I once asked him if he had any resentment in his heart. Do you know how he answered me?"
Song Yan looked at her doubtfully, "How do you answer?"
"He said so." Su Qingyun's gaze drifted away, looking at the green mountains in the distance. Every word that Ji Yue's father said appeared clearly in her mind.
"He said, 'I don't hold any grudges, because I know everything I've been through isn't the fault of any one person, but rather a slight deviation in our country's path as it explores its future. It will eventually get back on track, so how could I hold any grudges?'"
Song Yan was stunned.
"He also said, 'Decades ago, our ancestors took countless detours and wrong paths before finding the right path to save the country. What we are experiencing now is just the inevitable setbacks in the torrent of history.'"
"He also said, 'I believe there will be a rainbow after the storm, and dawn after the darkness. All we need to do is wait.'"
Su Qingyun repeated word for word what Ji's father had said to her that day, her tone solemn and serious. The person who was shocked at first was now Song Yan.
Song Yan didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. It was like a blocked riverbank suddenly had a hole broken open, or like walking on a dark road and suddenly seeing the dawn after the clouds parted.
His heart suddenly relaxed, feeling much more relaxed. He couldn't help but smile. "The uncle you mentioned is a man who truly cares about this country. I may not have his deep sense of justice, but I sincerely admire him."
Su Qingyun smiled. "It's not about being profoundly righteous. He just sees the world clearly. No matter where he goes or what he goes through, he never forgets his original intention. That's the best thing about him."
Song Yan was stunned and silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You're right."
"We really shouldn't sink into despair. Even if we don't know where tomorrow's road will lead, we should still be brave enough to keep going." He smiled with relief.
Seeing that he had finally figured it out, Su Qingyun smiled as well. As she smiled, she suddenly asked, "Who said you don't know where the road ahead lies?"
"Hmm?" Song Yan looked at her in confusion. What did she mean?
Su Qingyun calculated the days and said, "Just wait and see. Just like this land, autumn is a good season, a season of harvest."
"There will be good news next autumn." Su Qingyun said, then stood up from the ridge of the field and said to Song Yan, who was still confused, "I'm leaving first. Xia Qiu is still waiting for me."
"good."
