Chapter 29 Farewell
On this day, Shen Long just wanted to go home secretly to see how his younger siblings were doing. Zhong Yuemin came over to see him. Now Shen Long's injury has almost recovered. Zhong Yuemin helped him walk in the sanatorium area of the hospital's inpatient department. The two kept silent about their previous conflicts and just talked about their childhood and the future.
"Xiaobai gave me a book a few days ago called "On the Road". I really like the feeling of 'on the road' in the book, the free and easy lifestyle." Zhong Yuemin was not emotional when talking about Zhou Xiaobai. There wasn't much fluctuation. It seemed that he had come out. All he enjoyed was the process of chasing Zhou Xiaobai. He couldn't bear to have him and Zhou Xiaobai be together.
"I'm not as free and easy as you. I still have a big family to support." Shen Long sighed. Zhong Yuemin's family can give him wings of freedom and let him fly as he wants. Li Kuiyong's old mother and five His siblings were like heavy lead weights, dragging him down to reality.
In the past, Li Kuiyong's biggest dream was to become a skilled worker in a heavy industry company, with the country's iron rice bowl, so that he could provide for his old mother until she died, and successfully raise several younger brothers and sisters.
But now, Shen Long will definitely not take this road again. The next few decades will be a historical stage of drastic changes in China. It is difficult for a skilled worker to do this. It is not difficult to support several younger brothers and sisters. If you want them to have A better way out is difficult, and he has a completely different plan from Li Kuiyong.
"It's boring. Although I don't know what kind of life I want to live, I know what kind of life I don't want to live. This kind of life with my wife and children on the bed is very boring." Zhong Yuemin sneered at Shen Long's words.
"I think as long as you don't violate the law or harm the interests of others, it's your own business what kind of life you want to live, and others have no right to dictate." In Shen Long's time, there were many people who had the same idea as Zhong Yuemin. , he was not as fussy as Li Kuiyong.
"Hey, that's interesting!" Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but give him a high-five when he heard this. Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others had never understood his thoughts, but today they heard words of appreciation from this little mouth, which made him very happy. happy.
"Haha, you're going to join the queue in northern Shaanxi soon, right? When will you leave? I'll see you off?" Shen Long asked.
"What else can we do if we don't jump in the queue? Who told us that we are 'children who can educate well' and can't become soldiers!" Although he was born in a general, Zhong Yuemin had no idea of joining the army as a soldier. He signed up before just out of reality. Thinking about it, it is better to be a soldier than to join the army in northern Shaanxi? Unfortunately, since Zhong Shanyue's problem has not been resolved, he cannot pass the political review.
"My middle school also wants to join the queue, and it is said that it will go to northern Shaanxi or Yunnan. I will also sign up to go to northern Shaanxi at that time. Maybe we can meet again."
"Northern Shaanxi is a huge place, and even if you go there, you may not be able to encounter it."
"It doesn't matter. After all, being in the same province gives me more hope, which is better than if you were in northern Shaanxi and I were far apart in Yunnan."
Before leaving, Zhong Yuemin gave Shen Long a hundred dollars and asked him to take a good rest. Shen Long did not refuse. He knew that even if the hundred dollars were left to Zhong Yuemin, he would go to Lao Mo with Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun and the others. Xiaosha, it was all gone in a few days, so I might as well keep it for myself. When I go to northern Shaanxi in the future, I can still provide some relief when they run out of food.
Shen Long continued to stay in the hospital. When his injury was healed enough that he could exercise, he picked up Guixianren's training method again and exercised in the sanatorium every day. Then he went home and urged Li Kuiyuan and the others to study hard. Less whipping for Li Kuiyuan and Li Kuiyang. Li Kuiying is still young and has not learned to be naughty. The two sisters love to study themselves, so he does not need to worry too much.
With the help of Guixianren's training method, Shen Long recovered quickly from his injuries. By the time Zhong Yuemin left the capital for northern Shaanxi, he was almost ready to be discharged from the hospital.
The train station was crowded with people, gongs and drums were loud, and a red banner was hung above the platform to send off this group of educated youth to join the queue in northern Shaanxi. The sound of reciting quotations came from the loudspeaker. The educated youth wore big red flowers on their chests, and they were forced to Squeeze out a few smiles and wave goodbye to your relatives and friends.
Only Zhong Yuemin still looked cheerful. He did not regard northern Shaanxi as a dangerous road, but rather regarded it as the beginning of a new adventure. He still looked like a stubborn man, carefree and familiar with the veterans. They said hello.
"Hey, I told you not to come, why did you still run out of the hospital? When we get to northern Shaanxi, it's time for us to meet." Zhong Yuemin saw Shen Long in the crowd.
"Hey, the injury healed quickly." Yuan Jun was feeling sad at the moment, but felt a little unhappy when he was suddenly interrupted by Shen Long.
"That's right, I can't help it because I'm in good health. I'm afraid it would have been put in a box if I left it on you." Shen Long directly retorted. At this time, Yuan Jun was not cute at all.
"Hey, didn't you say that a while ago we were still 'educated children'? Why did you become a soldier in the blink of an eye?" Before Yuan Jun could reply, Shen Long glanced at his military uniform and said, "It looks like your father is out?" It’s true that all the good things have gone to you people.”
"What were your parents doing while our parents were busy working on the revolution? Are you talking about this to me now?" Yuan Jun said disdainfully.
Shen Long grabbed Yuan Jun's collar and said, "Let's go, I want to talk to Yuan Beiguang and ask him why he got up and started a revolution with his head in his head. Is it to give his children a back door?"
As soon as Yuan Jun couldn't free himself, he raised his hand to hit Shen Long. Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong quickly stopped them, "Calm down, you guys are here to see me off today. Don't hold back any grievances you have." Wait until I leave and you can fight me however you like."
Zhong Yuemin persuaded Shen Long a few words, then turned around and patted Yuan Jun on the shoulder. He knew that Yuan Jun was impulsive and could never let go. "Go back, Yuan Jun. Write to me often in the future. Don't cause trouble again in the army." .”
The bell rang on the platform, indicating that the train was about to leave. The crowd seeing off suddenly burst into earth-shattering cries. When will we be able to meet again after such a farewell? Many people have not seen each other again since we said goodbye again.
Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong shook hands and said goodbye. Zhong Yuemin stared at the crying crowd with a smile. He lit a cigarette and took out a double-ring firecracker from his bag.
The train moved forward slowly, and the crying crowd ran along with the train and waved.
Bang! Bang! The double-ring firecracker was lit by Zhong Yuemin.
The crowd was stunned and the crying suddenly stopped.
Chapter completed!
