Chapter 37 A Different Meeting

Zhong Yuemin stayed in Shichuan Village, Tucheng Commune for a short time before joining the army. Li Kuiyong stayed in Baidian Village until 1974 before moving to the city to become a worker. Shen Long's goal was to take the college entrance examination, and he did not plan to recruit workers. I will stay in Baidian Village until 1977 before going back. Such a long time will be wasted if I don’t find something to do.

Before traveling through time, he did a lot of research on the situation in Jingbian County, and personally came to Jingbian for several days. He also talked with several experts about the future changes in Jingbian County, and sorted out several ways to change the current situation of the village. It’s just that I have just arrived. Firstly, I am not familiar with the situation in the village. Secondly, I have not fully gained the support of the villagers. Many big actions cannot be carried out, so I will start with the simplest ones. Once these have achieved results, I will talk about those big plans in the future. support him.

The importance of education is engraved in the bones of Chinese people, and Bai Mingchuan was moved when he heard it.

"I'm doing better now, I still have some strength, and I can help the village with work, but it's different with those female educated youths. We can't use that many people just for washing and cooking, so it's better to let them teach. " Shen Long added that he knew that Bai Mingchuan would be reluctant to let go of a strong laborer like him who could earn work points, so he handed over the school to those girls.

"Well, actually what we are most worried about is the teacher. Since you are willing to help, I will find a way to repair the cave dwelling." Bai Mingchuan agreed.

Shen Long took the lead and sent a few more people from the village to repair the cave dwelling in a short time. Although there were still some gaps, at least there was no need to worry about it collapsing. The seven girls were also divided into two groups and took turns teaching the children. Teaching was at least better than It was much better to make a fire and cook, and these girls were very grateful to Shen Long.

Now that the classroom is available, some teaching aids are needed, which are not available in the village. They need to go to the city to buy them. Bai Mingchuan doesn't know what to buy, so this responsibility naturally falls on Shen Long.

"After a long trip to the city, what do you want to buy? I'll help you carry it. Oh, by the way, the girls' side should also arrange for a representative to go with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to carry so many things by myself." There were some things that it was not convenient for girls to buy for men, so Shen Long made an excuse.

The last person who went to the county town with him was Qin Ling. Qin Ling secretly looked at him from behind Shen Long. She naturally understood why Shen Long wanted to call a girl. Shen Long's carefulness surprised her again. How much was hidden in this man? Something?

The two of them set out early in the morning, and happened to encounter a tractor coming into the city on the way. Shen Long said a few nice words and got a free ride. It was not yet noon when they finished their work in the city.

The two went to the Educated Youth Office together to find Ma Guiping. Sure enough, Zhong Yuemin was assigned to Shichuan Village, Tucheng Commune. After thanking Ma Guiping for leaving the Educated Youth Office, Shen Long asked, "I want to go to Shichuan Village to see my friends. Look at you." Should you go around the county town again, or should I find someone to take you back?"

"I'll go with you." Qin Ling grew up in Xi'an. In her eyes, the county town had nothing to do. On the contrary, she was more interested in Shen Long, so she was happy to be alone with him for a while.

"It's a few dozen miles to Ishikawa Village. You may have to spend the night there." Shen Long reminded, Qin Ling didn't care either. The two of them found an acquaintance on the street who was working in the commune and asked him to go back and tell the village. , had something to eat and rushed to Ishikawa Village.

Along the way, the Loess Plateau has been severely eroded by flowing water for a long time, gradually forming a special natural landscape with thousands of ravines and fragmented terrain. Sparse villages are scattered in slightly flatter areas, and you can't see many people after walking for a long time.

After walking for a long time, it was inevitable that he would become bored. Shen Long struck up a conversation with Qin Ling, "I thought I heard you singing this morning. What song did you sing? It's quite nice."

Qin Ling didn't speak, but sang directly, "I prepared bags of money and food for you, I brought you spiritual animals, I opened the creaking back door for you, I lit up the stars in the sky for you, I let you kiss Open your mouth, I want you to smile and shed tears... Don't be embarrassed or shy, call me brother and take me away..."

Shen Long was gradually shocked by the crisp voice. This voice was definitely professional and extremely contagious. In addition, since he came to this world, Shen Long often heard revolutionary songs. This kind of folk song that praises love, I was completely attracted by the singing without realizing it.

It wasn't until Qin Ling finished singing that he praised, "There is an ancient saying that goes around the beam for three days without stopping. Today I know what it means! You sang so professionally, who did you learn it from?"

For some reason, Qin Ling felt particularly happy when he heard Shen Long's praise, "I learned it from my mother. She is an actress in the ethnic song and dance troupe and specializes in singing northern Shaanxi folk songs. I have been able to listen to it since I was a child."

"I can't thank you enough for listening to your song. Let me sing one for you too!" Shen Long used to like to howl at KTV. Listening to Qin Ling's song aroused his addiction. He cleared his throat and sang loudly. got up,

“My family lives on a high loess slope, and strong winds blow across the slope.

Whether it is northwest wind or southeast wind, it is my song, my song.

My family lives on a high loess slope, and the sun walks over the slope.

Shine my arms in the cave, and my cows follow me.

No matter how many years have passed, generations of ancestors have left me behind,

I was left singing songs as far as the eye could see, and the Yellow River beside me.

My family lives on a high loess slope, and the wind blows from the slope in all seasons.

Whether it’s eight hundred years or ten thousand years, it’s still my song.”

Different from the softness of Qinling's song "Brother Shouting, Take Me Away", this song "Loess High Slope" is rough and full of passion. Shen Long's somewhat broken voice not only does not weaken the charm of the song, but it is just like the song in front of him. Like the Loess Plateau, it has thousands of ravines but is majestic and majestic.

"Hahahaha, you are from the capital, when did the Loess Plateau become your home!" Qin Ling laughed, his voice as clear as a lark.

After laughing, Qin Ling frowned and thought seriously, "This song is not like an ordinary northern Shaanxi folk song, but has some shadows of modern music, and I have never heard it before. Where did you hear it?"

"Loess High Slope" was written by the famous lyricist Chen Zhe in 1987 when he was inspired to collect music in the rural areas of northern Shanxi. The music was then composed by composer Su Yue. Su Yue's wife played Qingwen in the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" Zhang Jinglin sang it for the first time. Later, bold female singers such as Fan Linlin, Tian Zhen, and Hang Tianqi all became famous or won awards with this song.

"You are indeed the first listener to hear this song." Shen Long smiled, but Qin Ling asked him again but refused to say more.

When they arrived at Shichuan Village, they successfully found Zhong Yuemin. Zhong Yuemin was naturally happy that his old friend came to visit, especially since he brought such a beautiful girl with him. However, what made Zhong Yuemin depressed was that Qin Ling didn't seem to be interested in him.
