Sometimes, Zhou Qun feels that the apricot blossom next to her is like a plaster that has lost its efficacy and sticks tightly to her body. After a while, it feels prickly and itchy, and it is very uncomfortable. It can't be peeled off or shake off.

Of course, sometimes he deliberately made Xinghua angry. The two of them often had quarrels over this matter. The more she behaved like this, the happier he felt. As long as Xinghua ignored him when she was angry, he would definitely

Go find Lanhua, or else secretly write a note to Fu Lanhua. One time during class, he took a look

Seeing that the teacher and classmates were not paying attention, they crumpled up the written note into a ball and threw it towards Fu Lanhua. It often happened that the boys in the class threw paper balls at Fu Lanhua, but she always looked down upon it as if it was nothing.

Throw it away or put it in your pocket without making any noise, and then throw it into the trash after class.

She disagreed with other boys' behavior, but Fu Lanhua was a little unhappy when Zhou Qun did the same thing. She tried to persuade Zhou Qun several times on the way home from school, but he always regarded her words as

Hearing this, she had long wanted to teach him a lesson.

This time, Fu Lanhua still pretended not to see who it was, and swept the paper ball to the ground with a casual sweep. It rolled a few times and landed at Xinghua's feet. This time, Zhou Qun was extremely anxious.

What if Xinghua discovered the strip? He wanted to pick it up secretly several times. He wanted to remind Fu Lanhua, but Fu Lanhua had no roots.

He didn't look at him at first, but he didn't dare to say anything. He was also afraid that Xinghua, the teacher and other students would be embarrassed if they found out that it was him who wrote it. So he thought about it and finally came up with an idea.

, he pretended to borrow a pen to pay Lanhua and whispered: "Sister Lanhua, my pen is out of water, please borrow a pen to use."

Fu Lanhua couldn't help but glance at him at this stall, and he took the opportunity to wink at Lanhua. But Fu Lanhua knew what he meant, but she pretended not to understand what he meant. She just wanted to make Zhou Qun's memory long and let him die.

However, in the end, she still softened her heart. She was also afraid of being cheated by Xinghua.

After finding out, Xinghua made a fuss in front of her classmates and teachers regardless of the severity. Teachers and classmates all knew about this, which not only brought shame on Zhou Qun's face, but also probably affected herself a lot, so she Before get out of class was over, she stepped on the paper ball under her feet and bent down to pick it up when no one noticed.

On the way out of school, she saw no one else, and handed the note to Xinghua in front of Zhou Qun. The note said: Lanhua, can we go home together after school? I really want to have a good talk with you again.

Xinghua scolded Zhou Qun, and asked, "What do you want to talk about? I'd like to hear it. Let's talk now."

Fu Lanhua also smiled and asked, "Yes, just say whatever you want to me. After all, the three of us are from the same village."

"I..." Zhou Qun blushed and hesitated for a long time without being able to speak, and hurriedly pedaled to the village.

Xinghua pointed at his back and cursed: "I don't care about your virtue, you still want to eat what's in the bowl and occupy what's in the pot!"

Since then, Zhou Qun no longer dared to think anything wrong about Lan Hua, but Xing Hua was even more strict with him.

Xinghua devoted all her energy and thoughts to Fu Zhouqun. It is conceivable how much better her academic performance could be. In terms of her academic performance, whether she was in junior high school or high school, the situation at that time was

, had it not been for the recommendation by the village committee, she would not have been able to pass the exam anyway.

Even so, Xinghua had only been in high school for a few months. Because she and Zhou Qun secretly ate the "forbidden fruit" several times, she became pregnant shortly after her eighteenth birthday. They did not dare to tell their parents, but

She didn't know how to deal with this matter, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, but her belly grew bigger and bigger day by day, and eventually she was still discovered by her head teacher, and she had to explain the truth to her teacher. In this way, she and

Zhou Qun was ordered to drop out of school and go home.

At that time, the high school implemented a recommendation system. That is to say, no matter whether the student's academic performance was good or not, as long as he was a poor and lower-middle peasant or the child of a worker, peasant, or soldier with a good reputation, the village revolutionary committee and organization could recommend him.

To high school, or even to college.

Speaking of being recommended to school, Fu Lanhua was almost terminated by the village committee after graduating from junior high school because of problems caused by her parents. The political climate at that time was that if one person had political background problems, the whole family would be implicated.

Although Fu Lanhua's father, Fu Liguo, is an old Eighth Route Army veteran who joined the Party in 1939.

However, due to the problems of the second brother Fu Lizu and the third brother Fu Liqiang, the family moved back to their hometown during the difficult period of three years. During the Cultural Revolution, Fu Liguo also

As a result, he was scrutinized and labeled as a reactionary family member. He was also criticized at a village member meeting and was almost expelled from the party.

Ying Zhiming was very angry about this. He came forward to testify and ran around. Finally, he found Fu Liguo's old leader Yang Jiwei and his old comrade Wang Zhonghe. They were the two people's guarantee witnesses, which allowed Fu Liguo to be rehabilitated and liberated.

Come out. This Yang Jiwei and his eldest brother Fu Lizong were comrades in arms as early as the Northeast Anti-Japanese War. After the Battle of Rehe, the troops were dispersed, and there was no news about his eldest brother again. It was not until the end of the Anti-Japanese War that he learned that his eldest brother Fu Lizong had died.

.

Fu Liguo joined the Eighth Route Army as a soldier. It was Yang Jiwei who took him there and was his introducer when he joined the party. Later, because Fu Liguo was injured, his superiors arranged for Fu Liguo to return to his hometown and started working behind enemy lines in his hometown.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the leaders of the Provincial Military Region sent people to find Fu Liguo and arranged for him to return to his original army and go south. However, due to his injured leg, he gave up the opportunity to go south. After the liberation of the country, he was organized to work in the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

, his wife Lu Chunji worked in the city's textile factory. During the anti-rightist movement a few years later, because he usually relied on his old experience

As long as there are people and things that he dislikes, he has always dared to speak and act, so he has offended many people. However, in the later period of the expansion of the anti-rightist movement, those who had been offended by him were looking for opportunities to retaliate, thus almost killing him.

He became a rightist. Within a few years, he encountered the difficult period of three years. In order to respond to the call of the organization, he returned to his hometown with his family.

When he was criticized, his old commander Yang Jiwei was a deputy cadre of a certain army, but he had basically reached the age of retirement and was not able to move easily. His old comrade Wang Zhonghe was a regular teacher of a certain army.

When he learned that Fu Liguo had been unjustly accused, he personally brought the guards to Liyang County to find the relevant departments, and met with his old comrades in the Red Guard Brigade.

From then on, Fu Liguo received political protection, and his eldest son Fu Min was easily approved to join the army. No, just a few days ago, Fu Min wrote a letter saying that they had just returned victoriously from the front line, but in this battle, their

The troops fought extremely fiercely and sacrificed many comrades. He

He told his family that he was not injured and everything was fine. This time he joined the party on the firing line. Fu Min promised to come back to visit them when the family visit holiday came and tell them about the battle in detail. For this reason, Fu Liguo and his family

They celebrated happily like a new year.

Daughter Fu Lanhua and second son Fu Jun also had the green light to go to school. This is called a blessing in disguise. If they had not been criticized, how could they still be in touch with their old comrades after being apart for decades? How could they still see each other?

What about the other side? How can it be possible for children to go to school and join the army so smoothly?

Fu Lanhua graduated from high school. Children with rural registered permanent residence cannot go to college, so she can only return to her hometown to work in farming. This winter, Wang Zhonghe’s troops came to Liyang to recruit soldiers, and I heard that there were several quotas for female soldiers.

, Fu Lanhua went home and told her father about the incident, and begged his father to write a letter to his old comrades requesting

Fu Liguo actually wrote it. A few days later, army recruiters accompanied by village committee cadres came to Fu Liguo and explained the situation. Before they left, they asked Fu Lanhua to participate in a visual inspection, and then conduct a physical examination and political review.

The army promised that if Fu Lanhua passed all the indicators, she could enlist in the army.

This made Fu Lanhua so happy that she couldn't sleep for three days and three nights. There was a slogan at that time: if one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will be glorious. What's more, if a girl from the countryside becomes a soldier, not to mention it will shock the entire Red Guards.

Brigade, that was breaking news in villages all over the country. People were talking about it, and they all knew that Fu Lanhua’s father had a strong connection. Some said that she was a soldier through the back door, and some rumors said that she was a soldier from the back door.

Some of the people who were pulled out from school said that she was good-looking and that she was chosen by the military recruiters. Anyway, there were all kinds of things, most of them were envious, and of course some were jealous. Whether it was a back-door soldier,

Regardless of whether they were soldiers through normal channels, Fu Lanhua was going to join the army anyway. Overnight, the fame of Fu Liguo and his daughter Fu Lanhua spread throughout the surrounding villages and even reached the ears of the county officials.

From the day she received the "Notice of Enlistment", Fu Lanhua would leave her hometown to join the army in a few days. The news spread. Fu Liguo's family was busy socializing and receiving the neighbors and villagers who came to congratulate Fu Lanhua.

Many of my classmates also came, including of course

Zhou Qun and Xinghua, Xinghua still held her son in her arms. Fu Lanhua greeted her classmates one by one. She came over and said a few polite words to Zhou Qun and his wife, and then teased Xinghua's son and asked, "What's this?"

How old is the boy? Look how cute he is with his fair skin and fat head."

"You're one and a half years old, so naughty." Xinghua replied, and then asked quietly: "Lanhua, I heard that you were engaged to Ying Xiang before you joined the army? Are you allowed to get married in the army?"

Xinghua's question was so direct that Fu Lanhua's face turned red. She glanced around and said to Xinghua: "What are you talking about? Who told you?"

Xinghua curled her lips and said: "Stop pretending, do you think I don't know? I heard that Ying Xiang got married and you became a soldier. You two are both on military rations. How wonderful. You are born with it."

They are such an enviable couple. Alas, my fate is not as good as yours. It is human fate, it was made by God. There is no use in thinking wildly!"

Xinghua's words were half true and half jealous. She was always wondering why Fu Lanhua's life was so good. So many boys chased her when she was in school. After graduation, she only worked in the farm for a few days. People said that she could become a soldier by joining the army.

, in any case, she has left the countryside; and the person she introduced to is also a government official, and I heard that the two families have already settled the matter between her and Ying Xiang.

As for the engagement between Fu Lanhua and Ying Xiang, it's not that fast yet. It's just that Fu Liguo and Ying Zhiming made it clear. Although the two elders had a joke agreement before, after all, this is a new society.

Arranged marriages are not allowed. The elders on both sides understand the principle of "freedom of marriage". They just want them to have a relationship, even if it is through letters. Both of them feel satisfied and they voluntarily marry. Only then can the two families be worthy of the name.

The in-laws are related.

Of course, when Fu Lanhua left to join the army, the one who was most anxious and worried was Ying Zhiming. That day, after he learned that Lanhua was going to join the army, he and his wife hurried to Fu Lanhua's house.
