Chapter 21 Pen Pals
"Forward, forward, forward, our team is heading towards the sun,
Standing on the land of our motherland and carrying the hope of our nation, we are an invincible force.
We are the children of workers and peasants, we are the people's armed forces, we fight bravely without fear or surrender,
Until the reactionaries are completely wiped out."
Under the leadership of Wang Yuanchao, the entire carriage was filled with noise and everyone sang in unison to Wang Yuanchao's beat.
After the red song was sung, all the educated youth in the carriage became excited. Wang Yuanchao also felt that the red song should be sung in chorus. Such passion and momentum were simply invincible.
After conducting a song, Wang Yuanchao, full of vigor and vitality, continued to shout loudly:
"Comrades, educated youth, our blood is boiling, our youth is burning, we are singing "The East is Red", we are standing up to take charge of our own destiny,
We take advantage of the spring season to travel to the frontier to build our beautiful country.
As the saying goes, a single flower does not make spring, a hundred flowers in full bloom make the whole garden full of spring. Now, I would like to invite the next comrade to stand up and lead the song for all of us. Please raise your hands. I will randomly invite one person. Everyone, please say, okay?"
Many educated youth in the carriage watched Wang Yuanchao steal the show and attract the attention of all the girls in the carriage.
Some people appreciate it, some people are happy, but some people are jealous, and some people are unhappy.
Now that they heard that Wang Yuanchao was going to hand over his position as leader of the song, many people became interested.
They all said "yes" loudly.
For a moment, the whole carriage was filled with people raising their hands.
Wang Yuanchao scanned the carriage and selected a pretty girl wearing a white top with red embroidered blouse. He pointed and said, "Okay, let's invite this educated youth comrade to lead the song. Let's invite this educated youth comrade."
When Wang Yuanchao saw the girl, he jumped excitedly into the corridor. After he returned to his original seat, he heard the female comrade he had named start to speak loudly: "Dear educated youth comrades, our motherland has taught us since childhood that we are the successors of socialism.
Today we obey the call of the motherland and go to the countryside, to the frontiers, and to the places where the motherland needs us most.
Revolutionary youth have ambitions in all directions, and are rooted in the countryside and the frontiers. Now please follow my rhythm. Unity is strength. 1.2.3, get ready. "
Wang Yuanchao looked at this passionate female comrade, who was giving a passionate speech while dancing and leading the song. She raised her head, clenched her fists, one fist facing the sky, and the other fist on her waist . She walked back and forth in the carriage with a heroic and high-spirited look, and a passionate and unrestrained atmosphere was blowing in her face.
The educated youth in the carriage were obviously impressed by this and sang along in unison:
"Unity is strength
Unity is strength This strength is iron, this strength is steel
Harder than iron, stronger than steel Fire at the fascists
Let all undemocratic systems die
Towards the sun, towards freedom, and towards the new China, shining brightly. "
Jiang Yuan, who was sitting opposite Wang Yuanchao, was obviously very unhappy with the female comrade who led the song. She pursed her lips and cursed.
After seeing Wang Yuanchao's curious look, Jiang Yuan smiled at Wang Yuanchao embarrassedly and said:
"This female comrade and I were classmates. She has always liked to be in the spotlight since she was young.
After I led my classmates to strike at school, I took many of them and followed a group of children to the old city.
I didn't expect that she would come with me to the Construction Corps as an educated youth this time."
Wang Yuanchao looked at Jiang Yuan's expression and it was obvious that the two girls had a grudge, and it was a big one.
But Wang Yuanchao was very cooperative, so he asked,
"So this female comrade doesn't know that you are also going to the Construction Corps?"
Jiang Yuan shook her head and said sarcastically, "She should know that we are from the same compound.
The situation was very chaotic at the time, so my father and grandfather signed us up to serve as educated youth in the Construction Corps.
There are quite a few people like me in our compound. Basically, those whose families do not have enough quota for military service have signed up for the Construction Corps.
This female comrade is called Yan Liu, she is also from our compound, her father is of a relatively low rank, but she likes to be in the limelight, everyone dislikes her. "
Wang Yuanchao understood that people who were different and restless were not welcomed anywhere.
However, in this era, this type of people is more likely to gain momentum. After listening to the little girl's few words, Wang Yuanchao quickly determined that this little girl was a golden thigh.
Unfortunately, in this life, Wang Yuanchao only wanted to live a life of wealth and leisure. He did not want to curry favor with the powerful, nor did he want to be looked down upon by others. He did not want to live a life where he had to prove himself every day, which would be too tiring.
So Wang Yuanchao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he returned to normal and said with a smile:
"This female comrade really looks very energetic."
Jiang Yuan looked at Yan Liu with disgust, but she didn't want to be rude in front of Wang Yuanchao, so she said softly, "Yes, some time ago, she wore a red armband and acted arrogantly in our compound.
Even the neighbors who have lived together since childhood are not spared. Isn't that a spirit?"
"She seemed to be doing well, so why did she choose to work in the Construction Corps instead of the Commission?"
"I think he went with Brother Liu Jianjun, right?
Many female comrades in our compound like Brother Liu Jianjun, and Yan Liu is the favorite one. This time Brother Liu Jianjun went to the Construction Corps in Jilin Province as an educated youth. I guess Yan Liu went there for him. "
Wang Yuanchao joked:
"Are you one of the many lesbians?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Yuanchao shyly, her eyes revealing a hint of affection, and her ears were almost red as if bleeding.
"I have been following brother Liu Jianjun since I was a kid, and I grew up with everyone.
But I only treat Brother Liu Jianjun as my brother and don’t like him.
Comrade Wang, since we both went to Heilongjiang Province as educated youth and we live close to each other, it is also our destiny that we met on the train. How about we become friends? Leave me your address.
When I get to the Construction Corps, I'll write to you and we can be pen pals, how about that? "
Looking at the proactive girl in front of him, Wang Yuanchao did not refuse.
Although Wang Yuanchao had no intention of currying favor with the rich and powerful, which man doesn't like a girl who has eyes only for him? Even if he had no intention of developing a revolutionary friendship with a girl.
So Wang Yuanchao pretended to be surprised, thought about it, nodded and said, "No problem, my address is Hongqi Brigade, Hongqi Commune, Heiping Town, Heishi Province, please remember it."
After Jiang Yuan heard this, she immediately began to dig out her bag in panic, and said hurriedly as she did so:
"Comrade Wang, wait, wait, let me find a pen and paper to write it down."
Wang Chunni, who was standing next to him, suddenly came out and took this opportunity to decisively say:
"Comrade Wang, wait a moment, I'll also write down your address in the countryside."
