247: Can't help but think about it
.
The person on the other end quickly picked up the microphone.
Liang Qin smiled:
"You answered it so quickly, have you been waiting?"
Zhou Ziheng on the other end of the phone did not respond directly, but asked in a deep voice:
"Did you see anyone?"
"Yeah, I saw it." Liang Qin couldn't help but chuckle again.
"Did you give her the letter?"
"I handed it to her personally!"
"How about it?"
"Yes, just like you said, the little girl looks quite smart and cute, but she's too young. She looks like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet."
Zhou Ziheng was silent on the phone for a while. What he actually wanted to ask was not what Liang Qin's impression of Yu Xiaoye was. Zhou Ziheng didn't care what other people's impression of Yu Xiaoye was.
What Zhou Ziheng actually wanted to ask was how Yu Xiaoye was doing now.
Yu Xiaoye ran away secretly that day. Zhou Ziheng was very worried. He was always worried that something might happen to her, and he was also afraid that her actions that day would scare the innocent girl.
When I heard Liang Qin say that she had met Yu Xiaoye, I wanted to ask how Yu Xiaoye was doing now.
He wanted to know so much about her situation!
However, since Liang Qin misunderstood, Zhou Ziheng did not explain much.
He asked again:
"So she didn't say anything to you, or ask you anything?"
"No, she didn't say anything, didn't ask anything."
Zhou Ziheng's disappointment could be heard by Liang Qin even through the dozens of miles of telephone lines. Liang Qin couldn't help but sigh:
"I've never seen you, Brother Zhou, so deeply in love with anyone. I thought you were a heartless clay statue."
Zhou Ziheng said helplessly:
"Just stop teasing me."
"I'm not teasing you, I'm happy for you. Okay, I can't be on the phone for too long. Director Sui will be dissatisfied. We can talk about it in detail when we meet in a few days."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, this is the first time you've asked me for help in all these years. I'll definitely arrange the program well, so that you'll have a reason to transfer her to the publicity department of the main venue."
Zhou Ziheng finally smiled knowingly, said thank you, and hung up the phone.
After getting the exact news about Yu Xiaoye and knowing that she was doing well, Zhou Ziheng finally felt relieved after feeling the pressure that had been hanging in the air for the past few days.
But I still can't help thinking about it.
I have never missed anyone as much as I do now. This longing is so overwhelming and intense. I don’t know when it started and I can’t find the beginning at all.
Just like a river, no one knows where its source is, but it flows all the way, from a trickle to a rushing stream that gradually forms a mighty tide.
——
In the five-minute field and the girls’ dormitory.
Yu Xiaoye didn't eat dinner. He was so tired that he didn't want to move at all. His bones were sore and painful. Thinking of the bland stew and the choking steamed buns, he had no appetite.
However, in order to prevent herself from being unable to sleep due to hunger at night and to replenish her nutrition, she took the opportunity to go to the toilet outside, quietly walked away, returned to the space, and ate two boiled wild duck eggs and a few pieces of tuna sashimi in the space.
After eating, I took a quick shower in the yacht's bathroom.
She could make do with food, clothing and housing, but she couldn't fully adapt to the hygiene issue, so she had to go back to the bathroom on the yacht to solve it.
After washing for a while, I came out and returned to the dormitory with a flashlight.
Shao Xia was on duty today. She had already boiled a tin teapot of hot water, filled all the thermoses in the dormitory, and boiled another pot of water and put it on the stove.
Although the fire in the furnace has gone out, there is still some residual heat, which can maintain heat for a long time.
Yu Xiaoye brushed his teeth, washed his face and feet, and then washed his socks and hung them on the rope in the room. Then he got on the kang, spread out the quilt, took off his clothes, and got into bed wearing only a vest and shorts.
This is the first time I sleep on a big kang in the 1970s, and I don’t know if I can adapt to it.
The earth lying in this little mud house ()..
.
Lying on the kang, looking at the low roof, she suddenly felt a little homesick. Thinking that her parents and second brother should not have gone to bed yet, she wondered if her second brother was being scolded again and whether they were thinking about her too. Her nose felt sore and tears kept welling up in her eyes.
I really want to go home——
I want to go home to see my parents and my silly second brother.
She tried hard not to cry, afraid of being seen by others.
It would be extremely embarrassing if someone saw her crying.
Now that I'm the captain, how can I cry so easily?
Some others have even left home for thousands of miles and haven't seen their relatives for a year or two. She has only been away from home for one day, why is she crying?
So she tried her best to hold back her tears.
The others also got on the kang one after another.
On the first day, everyone was not familiar with each other, so there was not much talking. Basically, after finishing their own work, they all climbed onto the kang.
Some were reading, some were writing letters, and a few were whispering to each other.
Shao Xia was busy inside and outside for a while. Seeing that everyone had almost finished cleaning up, she also wanted to climb onto the kang to rest.
But after counting the heads, there was still one person missing. Shao Xia knew without hesitation that it was Chen Ci. This Chen Ci must have secretly gone on a date with Li Xinchun.
Shao Xia didn't care. She couldn't wait any longer, so she locked the door to the outer room and climbed onto the kang. Her bed was right next to Yu Xiaoye's.
When tidying the mattress, her hand touched Yu Xiaoye's quilt, and it felt as soft as a cloud. Shao Xia couldn't believe it and grabbed Yu Xiaoye's quilt in her hand and squeezed it, exclaiming:
"Wow, Ono, how come your quilt is so soft and light!"
Then I touched my own quilt and found that it was as hard as a clod of earth in comparison.
Yu Xiaoye couldn't explain to Shao Xia that this was a down quilt, because there was no such thing in that era, so he said:
"The cotton balls are good."
"Even though cotton balls are so soft and light, they can't be this soft and light, right?
"
Xia Ning, who was lying on her back two bunks away and writing a letter, said without raising her head:
"Can you please stop making such a fuss? You two aren't the only ones in the dorm. Can you give others some peace and quiet?"
Shao Xia didn't say anything. As the dormitory head, she had to set an example and couldn't easily get into conflicts with others in the dormitory. So even though she felt uncomfortable, she had to endure it.
Besides, Shao Xia didn't want to have conflicts with the children of high-ranking officials right away.
Yu Xiaoye was not happy about this. He lay in bed with his face raised and said coldly:
"Other people talking is disturbing the peace, so why doesn't your own talking count?"
Xia Ning raised her eyebrows, put down the pen in her hand, turned her head to look in the direction of Yu Xiaoye, and said:
"What's the matter? Are you just annoyed with me? You feel uncomfortable if you don't go against me?"
"You are the one who is feeling uncomfortable, right?" Yu Xiaoye said harshly.
These words really touched Xia Ning's heart.
That afternoon, Xia Ning felt more and more unhappy. It wasn't her turn to be the captain, nor was she the lead dancer. All the benefits were snatched away by Yu Xiaoye!
This shouldn't be—
How come all the good things go to Yu Xiaoye, and none of them go to her? In the past, this would have been impossible - if it were possible, it would be because the other person's parents were higher-ranking officials than her father!
But it is obvious that Yu Xiaoye does not fall into this category.
"Just tell me, who is that Sister Liang to you?"
"Anyway, he's not an enemy—he's a mentor!"
Xia Ning sneered:
"Bole, you still know Bole!"
Shao Xia looked back and forth at the two of them nervously, fearing that the two girls would start fighting again, which would be troublesome.
During the day, she wasn't the dormitory head and couldn't take care of so many things, but now that she was in charge of dormitory affairs, she couldn't let these two people fight.
They are all wearing shorts and vests. If they tear it off, they will be naked. How ugly!
