Sequel to "Life"
The sequel to "Life" 2015/10/16 Friday Overcast
After Gao Jialin returned to Murakami, no one, no matter male, female or older, had a good look towards him The younger ones spit when they see him. This made Qiaozhen sad. He didn't want to see his sweetheart suffer this injustice. But she no longer had the freedom she used to have. Since she married Ma Shuan, she can no longer interact with Gao Jialin openly. Although she still loves Galin, although he also understands Galin.
Galin was finally defeated by life. He did not even work hard, nor did he go to the market to sell steamed buns. He did not dare to go to the street, and his parents did not look good. He just buried his head in the bed and slept all day long. What he thought about most in those days was Qiaozhen, what a beautiful and kind-hearted woman, who was the leader in Sichuan Road. But he had let down a free gift from God. That was called retribution, and he deserved it. He just wanted to sleep like this until the end of the world.
Seeing that their son did not eat or drink, and stared at the ceiling all day long, the old couple became anxious. Now it was no longer a question of whether their son could support themselves in the future, but what the white-haired man was going to give to the black-haired man. There was a problem, but they still couldn't do anything about their son. As the saying goes: "There is no cure for heart disease." They saw that Jialin was getting worse day by day, and he only had a few days left to live.
That day, while the old couple were working in the mountains, Qiaozhen secretly came to Jialin's house.
"Brother Jialin, what's wrong with you?" Qiaozhen was filled with tears. Looking at Jialin who was already emaciated, she hugged him distressedly.
"Qiaozhen, why are you here? I have only a few days to live. You and Ma Shuan can live a good life. I will use my life to repay the debt I owe you." ! "
"Brother Jialing, what are you talking about? Do you think I can survive well if you leave? Your worries, now that you are gone, what is the meaning of my life? "
"My life has no future and no meaning. It is better to die than to live without meaning." Well, I am not willing to spend my life on the yellow land. It would be glorious and noble to die."
"My brother Jialin, what are you talking about? You still have an old father and mother. With a wealth of knowledge, you still have a Qiaozhen who will always love you. Now that the national policy is good, you can study hard and take the exam again next year. If you fail the exam next year, there will be a year after that... I didn't study when I was young. But how much I envy you scholars. I have no knowledge, but we cannot let our next generation also have no knowledge. If you become successful in the future, my children will have someone to take care of them. I will let my children call you you from now on. Uncle! Having an uncle who is a state cadre is also a pride and inspiration for the child. Our child will also have a future... Now I am pregnant, I don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl, but he But your nephew! You have to take care of it. We can't be busy in the yellow land for generations! Even if we are farmers in the future, we must be knowledgeable farmers!"
The words finally awakened the dream. Although this is a peasant woman with no knowledge, she always saves his most beloved people in the most critical moments. This kind of love has surpassed all great loves. Even Jialin's betrayal did not change her original intention of love. What kind of strange woman is this? Galin was finally saved by this love. He got up from the bed, said: "Thank you!" and ran out.
He ran to the ground in one breath, snatched the head from his father's hand like crazy, and dug it up vigorously. After a while, a large piece of the land was dug. Qiao Qiao, who was standing in the distance, Jane cried happily again when she saw this scene. She couldn't help but sing softly with tears in her eyes: "A duck in the mountains and a goose in the river, a pair of furry eyes looking at my brother..."
From then on, Galin worked for his parents during the day and at night. Work under the oil lamp. In the blink of an eye, the weather warmed up and the ice disappeared, and the annual college entrance examination came again. He signed up to take the college entrance examination in Qinshui High School as a social youth. God has eyes, he won the exam and was admitted to the Chinese Department of Gansu Tianshui Normal College.
He understood that it was the blessing that Qiaozhen brought to him, and all the credit belonged to Qiaozhen. It was Qiaozhen's kindness and love that moved God, not his own efforts and the Feng Shui of his Gao family. Without God's blessings, hard work is in vain. Coincidentally, on the day he successfully received the notification, Qiaozhen successfully gave birth to a baby girl named Ma Gong, which may have the meaning of immediate success.
On the day Jialin left, Qiaozhen did not see him off. Qiaozhen just watched Jialin's retreating back from a distance on the bridge.
At this time, Jialin could naturally feel Qiaozhen's gaze, but he did not look back. He endured himself and did not look back. He didn't want to drag his feet, and he didn't want to leave Qiaozhen with too much regret. But he seemed to hear the song "A duck in the mountains and a goose in the river, a pair of hairy eyes looking at my brother...", so sad and evocative. He is wearing shoes made by Qiaozhen himself. There are five pairs of shoes, and he has packed them one by one. If he saves a little, they will be enough for him to wear for three years.
Ma Shuan is indeed a good man. Since his marriage, he has worked hard and tried not to let Qiaozhen suffer the slightest injustice. But he still knew in his heart that Qiaozhen didn't love him, and everything was actually out of necessity. At first, he thought Qiaozhen would slowly forget Jialin, but fate favored good people, and Gao Jialin came back like a devil. Now he knew that everything was over, and he would never be able to enter Qiaozhen's heart. At first, he couldn't understand it, but later he got used to it. As long as Qiaozhen slept with him every night, he would be satisfied, and he wouldn't care who she had in mind.
In the 1980s, Tianshui City was still a northern city that had just woken up. There were not many high-rise buildings, but it was already much better than Qinshui where Jialin was located. Tianshui Normal College is located in Shilipu, not far from Qilidun, Tianshui City. The school has three buildings in total, a teaching building, a girls' dormitory, and a boys' dormitory. Gao Jialin lives in the boys' dormitory 221 of the school.
Teachers in universities are just different from those in high schools and junior high schools. There is a university professor named Wang Du, who is from Wudu, Longnan, and his lectures are very good. He specializes in red studies. He has a nature like Baoyu and likes all weak women in the world. When he talked about Daiyu's infatuation and the period when he burned manuscripts and died for love, there were always endless tears in his eyes.
Jialin began to miss Qiaozhen. He wished that his deskmate Liu Xingxin was Liu Qiaozhen. Liu Xinxin is also from northern Shaanxi. It can be seen from the scarf and cloth shoes that she is also a very rustic girl. But she is earthy and delicate, earthy and sincere, and has the same enthusiasm as the loess. She always greeted Jialin with a smile, but Gao Jialin never responded proactively, always with a grimace on his face, as if the whole world was sorry for him.
Qiaozhen started doing heavy work as soon as her confinement period ended. One sow was not enough, so another one was fed. Everyone knew that the Qiaozhen family had filled up the population, so the economy had to catch up. Qiaozhen had her own plans: her brother Jialing had a hard time studying in school. She heard that the winter in Tianshui, Gansu Province was very cold, and the food in the university was not that good either. It mainly consisted of cornmeal and potatoes, so she wanted more food. Earn some money and send it to Brother Jialing. Brother Jialing is the child's uncle and a family member, so he cannot be neglected. In fact, Ma Shuan has seen all this. She knows Qiaozhen's true intention of working hard to feed the pigs, but he always closes his eyes and pretends not to see it. Besides, he can't suffer much if he recognizes a relative of a college student. .
Liu Xinxin is also a kind-hearted girl who is very scheming. She became very interested in the young man in front of her. He was a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His literary skills attracted this aura girl like a mystery. In just a few months, Galin's articles have appeared in two school magazines. His strong feelings and free and easy words will always touch the pain of his peers. When everyone is still suffering from hunger, poverty and disease, It was these loess characters from northern Shaanxi that gave everyone strength and confidence and courage in life. The power was as shocking as the folk songs of northern Shaanxi, and a wave of Galin fever suddenly set off in the school.
Girl Daiyu's ending is like this, but where is her own ending? She couldn't help but start singing: Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are facing each other..."
She woke up very late the next day, and her eyes were full of tears, obviously she had cried. When she opened the curtains, the sun had already risen high. The light reflected from the white snow on the ground was very dazzling. The snow scene outside the window was really indescribable. It was like a sudden spring breeze, thousands of trees. Should I describe "pear blossoms in bloom" or use the ambivalence of "worrying about the charcoal and wishing the weather was cold"? She no longer felt sleepy, but got out of bed and went to the school yard. She went to the school flower bed. There were clearly a series of footprints on the road. Who left them? Someone went to the garden so early? Her strong curiosity prompted her to follow the footprints...
"Garin?" "She saw Galin. At the end of the garden, Galin was sitting on the edge of the altar in a daze.
Should he move forward or retreat? She hesitated. After a long time, she still didn't take a step forward. Not even a step back
“Heart! "Galin finally called her. Galin finally woke up from his daze, and in a blink of an eye he saw his soul far away in the snow. Her soul was so excited that she couldn't help but run straight towards Galin. They sat down side by side. . This is the first time I have been in such close contact with a member of the opposite sex, and my face is flushed and uncomfortable.
Finally, it comes to the matter of Jialin. "Brother Jialin, why are you here?" With a face full of melancholy, who broke your childlike innocence and tranquility? "
So the story begins: how he failed to get into college, and later he was replaced as a teacher, so there is the story of Qiaozhen. Unfortunately, the story is not long, and he went through the back door again. I became a reporter. I lost my job and Qiaozhen was in trouble, so I decided to retake the college entrance examination until today...
Spiritual Thoughts Boiling, she finally understood the reason for Brother Jialing's deep melancholy. At this time, she was not experiencing turmoil and complexity in her heart.
"Brother Jialing, what are your plans for the future? "
"Graduate from college, run a school in your hometown, teach in your hometown, let the children there gain knowledge, and make that sentimental land more sentimental..."
"To your personal How did you consider the question? "The mind was no longer reserved, and she began to speak openly and honestly.
"I never thought about it..." Galin said calmly.
"Can I help you? "
"What, you? "Garin was stunned by the performance of his mind.
"How are you going to help me? "
"I am going to accompany you to northern Shaanxi and build a school with you! "
"But I have a child, and I want to take care of Qiaozhen's child, Ma Gong! "
"Sister Qiaozhen's child is also my child, and we will raise it together! "
"The hands of Jialin and Qiaozhen were finally clasped together..."
At twelve o'clock at noon, the lunch bell rang, and they just He returned to reality and walked towards the school cafeteria.
Since then, they have often been together. They discussed literature together and discussed writing together. They went to Tianshui City one after another. They experienced life in Nanguo Temple, Ma Pao Spring, Yuquan Temple, Maiji Mountain, Xianren Cliff, Elephant Mountain in Hegan Valley, and Shuilian Cave in Wushan Mountain. They also visited the Longnan Mountains in Wudu. They collected stories, traveled, and made love.
Soon, Galin’s three years of college came to an end with Liu Xinxin’s company. It also ended under the accompaniment of Gao Jialin. So, in July 1988, they said goodbye to the school and Tianshui, and returned to Qinshui County, Yulin City, northern Shaanxi Province. Shortly after reporting to the Qinshui County Education Bureau, After hearing the news about the assignment, they were both assigned to a rural middle school in Qingshui County. It was a complete middle school, ranging from elementary school to high school. For convenience, the school assigned them a room that year. National Day wedding.
The wedding was held in Jialin Village.
The wedding was very solemn and everything was done according to the rules. Qiaozhen has been planning for Jialin's marriage for many days. Jialin's family, who just graduated from college, is still very poor, and Qiaozhen made many household appliances. She has convinced Ma Shuan that he must understand everything she has done for Galin. In fact, Ma Shuan couldn't wait to do it. As soon as Jialin got married, Qiaozhen would have no idea and she would fall into bed with him wholeheartedly and without any burden.
On the wedding day, Jialin could not find Qiaozhen. The moment I took off my hijab, I also realized that Sister Qiaozhen was not around. So they looked everywhere. Finally, Qiaozhen was found in the cornfield. She is worrying about Ma Gong alone! Tears flow to nourish the fertile land.
It is said that the following is a speech made by Jialin at the wedding. I excerpt it as follows:
"Fellow folks of Qinshui Village, the former Chen Shimei and Gao Jialin finally learned to be grateful today. , learned to be a human being, and learned to repay. In order to thank the folks here, I decided to teach and run a school in our Qinshui Village, and let the children in Qinshui Village attend school for free. At the same time, in order to thank my benefactor Qiaozhen, I decided to transfer her and Ma. Brother Shuan’s daughter, Ma Gong, was raised by my side to help her grow up and teach her to become a talented person. Firstly, it fulfilled Qiaozhen’s dream of knowledge, and secondly, it was a way of repaying my kindness to her..." The audience burst into thunderous applause. .
In this way, Ma Gong has been growing up under the care of Jialin and his soul. It is said that 15 years later, Ma Gong was admitted to Xi'an Jiaotong University. Moreover, it is not only Ma Gong who has become a talented person in Qinshui Village, but also Ma Wen, Gaoliang Gan, Liu Xiaoxiao...
