Chu Ye:! ! !
Sister Deng:! ! !
They both shook their heads! Both refused! The two said that these things were too expensive and they didn’t want them!
Mu Jiajun was furious and repeatedly asked the two of them the reason. The two of them also tacitly understood each other and hesitated for a long time, unable to explain the reason.
The two people unconsciously turned to look at each other, and both saw the trouble in each other's eyes.
Deng Educated Qing now lives with another female educated youth. If she goes back with these things, her roommate will inevitably see them.
It's not that she's reluctant to share it, it's just that it's easy for gossip to spread. To outsiders, this was the many benefits she got from Mu Jiajun late at night.
Rumors spread like wildfire. This would not only bring bad talk to her, but also to Mu Qingqing and Chu Ye. It was really better to have one less thing than one more thing.
Besides, she just comes here every day to sit, knit, and give Chu Ye a few words of advice from time to time. What she does is so trivial, and she really feels guilty for accepting it for food.
Not to mention Chu Ye, she is the beneficiary of learning, how can she dare to accept things from the teacher?
Besides, Chu's mother scolded her last time after she rummaged through the box and found the things she had hidden. She has been worried about her these days. If she dares to bring these things home again, she is really asking for trouble.
Seeing that the two of them desperately refused and sincerely refused to accept it, with their respective difficulties still revealed on their faces, Mu Jiajun remained silent and did not say anything. Finally, he let the two of them go, gathered the three pieces of food together, and stored them under the desk. in the cabinet.
Anyway, it’s just for the two of them to eat. You can take it out and distribute it later in the evening when you study.
The three of them all looked a little tired from packing their things together tonight, and it was getting dark early outside.
Chu Ye didn't hesitate at all. He was not in a hurry to study in one night and directly announced that tonight's study group would be disbanded.
Then he picked up the cloth bag and, accompanied by Mu Jiajun's flashlight, walked home in the moonlight.
What happened tonight broke the dull study atmosphere in the past and invisibly made the relationship between the three people closer.
The two of them were in a relaxed mood along the way, and the moon tonight seemed to be brighter than usual, shining directly on people's hearts.
Mu Jiajun was holding a flashlight in front of him, looking for something to talk about. After chatting for a few words, he asked his doubts, "Why are you studying so hard? It's like your whole life will be over if you don't get into school." ?”
This was the most accurate description he came up with after several days of observation. As a young teacher, he could feel Chu Ye's impatience to grow while learning.
He wanted to know if Chu Ye was in such a mental state due to something.
However, what he didn't know was that his words were like a sharp arrow piercing Chu Ye's chest.
Then the sharp arrow flew out, leaving a hole in his heart. A gentle blow filled it with coolness.
She seemed to be taken back to her previous life where she got married early and had children. The tide of marriage seemed to pour down from a height of 10,000 meters, drowning her in the depths.
Her ears, her eyes, her heart and lungs, and even her limbs, were all soaked in the moisture of despair, sticky like insects on a spider web. The more awake she became, the more she struggled, and the more painful she became.
Mu Jiajun regretted the words after he asked them. He clearly felt that after he blurted out the words, Chu Ye's body exuded a strong aura that should not appear on a fifteen-year-old girl.
He should have thought that everyone has their own secrets, wasn't it the same even when he went to the countryside?
He was about to apologize when Chu Ye's voice came from behind him. Her voice was very soft but firm. She said, "Rural girls get married early. As you can see, I should be in the second semester of junior high school now, but I But at home. Because my parents wanted to reduce the burden on the family, they asked me to get married. ”
Once you say one sentence, the rest is no longer difficult to say, "I don't want to get married so early, so I have to study hard. I want to go out and see the outside world."
After saying that, she felt something that was pressing in her heart being slowly released, and she felt a little relaxed. She curled her lips and her tone was a little joyful.
"I'm tired of staying in this small mountain village."
This sentence was full of magic, lingering in Mu Jiajun's ears for a long time, and it was like a small hammer, gently tapping on his heart.
His eyes widened in the darkness, and he even held the flashlight tighter unconsciously.
He had guessed the reason before, but he was still shocked when he actually heard it.
What is he studying for? He seriously thought that he was studying just to learn, for different knowledge, so as to expand his understanding of the world.
What about Chu Ye? She studied to get rid of the fate of getting married, and also to change her own destiny.
Mu Jiajun has never put study at the same level as destiny.
However, this person, this rural girl, a girl whose parents did not allow her to continue studying, is like a tough grass that stubbornly straightens its branches after being trampled on.
"What about you? Why did you go to the countryside?" Chu Ye asked.
Mu Jiajun has talked about this issue before, saying that he wanted to see the outside world and use his own strength to contribute to national construction.
However, Chu Ye was dubious. For a young man like Mu Jiajun who looked like he was raised in a wealthy family, where could he go to have a bad experience? I just happened to come to this corner.
But after the question was asked, Mu Jiajun also chose to remain silent. He hesitated between telling the truth and telling lies.
There are some things he hasn't told anyone.
"Actually, it's because I don't know what I want to do." Mu Jiajun changed his usual cheerful attitude, became serious, and his tone was much calmer.
Unconsciously, he slowed down and stood side by side with Chu Ye.
The flashlight emits bright light, which not only illuminates the road ahead, but also seems to illuminate the hearts of the two of them.
On this ordinary night in April, he spoke his true feelings. "I studied step by step until I graduated from high school. However, I didn't know what I wanted to do. My grandfather told me to stay at home and read and write. He didn't ask me to be successful, just to be safe and happy."
"My parents said they would arrange for me to go to school as a teacher. I would be close to home, get good pay, and have a leisurely job."
"My brother asked me to assist him in his business and give me a position to do whatever I want."
"But I'm not satisfied. I can do what they said, but I don't know why. There's a voice in my heart saying, I don't want to."
“So I ‘escaped’ and wanted to see what others were doing so I could find my own direction.”
After saying that, he took a long breath and cut open the flesh and dissected it to the depths of his soul.
Sure enough, everyone has their own troubles.
After hearing this, Chu Ye suddenly had an idea in his mind. This year is 1976, but next year, the country will open the college entrance examination, and countless high school students will flock to the examination room.
And this exam will also change the fate of many people.
She tentatively spoke and asked, "If, I mean if."
"You can go to college and continue studying, so what major do you want to study?"
Chu Ye's hypothesis was puzzling. The college entrance examination had been suspended for ten years, so he didn't take it as soon as he said he could.
But Mu Jiajun has also thought about this issue. To be honest, his family actually knows something about it. After all, his grandfather used to work as a translator and worked with many big shots. Later, when his grandfather got older, he brought out many students, so the family Some high-level connections.
He had also heard about the possibility of opening up the college entrance examination, but it was always hearsay. After hearing too much, he gave up hope.
Now ask him what major he would choose if he could continue studying?
Then he has to think about it again.
Seeing that Mu Jiajun was lost in thought, Chu Ye did not ask further questions, stopped and waited quietly.
The gentle night breeze blows, bringing a bit of coolness. Soon, the clear voice of a young man came from beside me, his words were clear and his accent was very nice
He said, "If I can continue studying, I would like to major in translation."
He asked quietly in the night, "Have you read the English book I gave you?"
Chu Ye remembered that he was talking about the "Collection of Birds", which was written in English with a Chinese translation next to it.
She was at a loss for words. She preferred reading the story book about the female generals of the Yang family to the English book.
I like to see Mu Guiying holding a wild goose feather sword and her high-saddle horse looking imposing.
I like to see her being in desperate situations several times but still remaining calm in the face of danger. She has clever coincidences and tricks to fool her enemies.
What I like even more is that even though she got married, she never gave up her good martial arts skills.
Chu Ye fell into a dilemma and was about to tell the truth when he heard Mu Jiajun's voice.
He seemed to see through Chu Ye's hesitation and said to himself, "The books in our country are certainly very good, but the books in other countries are also advanced."
"But most people are exposed to foreign languages when they are in junior high school, and learning those is just for exams and higher education."
"Even if someone is interested in these, they often don't know where to start when learning foreign books, so they find it boring and boring, thinking that they won't need it in the future, so they simply give up."
Mu Jiajun turned his head sideways, his eyes filled with moonlight, and he said firmly, "So if I have the chance, I want to read translation, so that I can introduce foreign things into the country and let more people learn foreign knowledge."
He was so confident that Chu Ye was surprised by his lofty ambitions.
The news about the college entrance examination came in her previous life. At that time, she had just married in Zhaojia Village, and she could still hear the news from the village.
The educated youth who originally went to the countryside hurriedly went to the city to register, but in the end a few actually successfully entered college.
A few years later, I heard again that the educated youth who were admitted to university also found good places after graduation, and those who performed well stayed in university to become teachers.
But these have nothing to do with Mu Jiajun.
She turned her head and met Mu Jiajun's eyes.
Chu Ye's eyes were full of compassion, and there were clouds covering the moon and her expression.
It's just that Mu Jiajun died too early in his previous life, and the river ruined a young man's deepest wishes.
Fortunately, the fate of this life has been gradually rewritten.
They are still young and can write the future with their hands.
So she spoke, her tone soft but full of hope, "Then I wish your dreams can come true."
