Chapter 122 The Mountain and River Call...1978 Final Chapter 1
Regardless of whether it is a mountain village or a city, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are unpredictable and people's hearts are sinister. Cheng Guoqiang just gave it a try, but he did not expect that it really touched the greedy human nature of some people.
Wang Dayou supervised and found two more people to watch, and asked the third master to start counting the votes. The tickets were taken out of the box one by one. The third master read the names: "Zhang Jiancheng... Zhang Jiancheng... Zhang Jiancheng... Zhang Jiancheng... Yu ...Yu Haiqiang?"
Suddenly a ballot was opened, and Yu Haiqiang's name was written in a mess. The third master then took out another one and opened it: "Is it still Yu Haiqiang?"
The villagers also murmured in astonishment. Sure enough, there was indeed someone who had been given the job. It seemed that Yu Haiqiang really wanted to compete with Zhang Jiancheng for the vice-captain position!
Wang Dayou frowned and signaled the third master to continue counting the votes. He knew what the villagers were doing and was confident that Zhang Jiancheng would be elected, as long as more than half of the votes were counted.
The third master was singing when he suddenly saw a green jeep driving towards the village brigade from a distance. Wang Dayou stopped the third master and pointed in the direction of the incoming car: "That must be a military vehicle!"
The third master squinted and saw the car getting closer and closer, until he could see it clearly, he said, "It's from the county's armed forces department!"
Wang Dayou hurried up to meet him and saw the green jeep stopping outside the brigade door. A medium-sized soldier got out of the passenger seat. Wang Dayou approached with a smile on his face and said: "Chief!"
The soldier slapped a salute to Wang Dayou. Wang Dayou was frightened and asked with a confused face: "I am the captain of our Xiaoxi Village production team. Today we are meeting to elect the deputy captain. What are you doing?" Are there any important instructions? Let’s go inside and talk about it?”
The soldier said seriously: "Comrade Captain,
I was ordered to find Comrade Zhang Jiancheng, a team member from your village. Is he there? Can you introduce me? "
"Here! Here!" Wang Dayou raised his hand to greet the soldiers as he led them into the office: "Let's break up now! Put the ballot box away! It's completed! Come with me!"
The vote-calling was suddenly canceled, but the villagers were not angry. Instead, they were curious as if they had witnessed some big event. They saw Zhang Jiancheng and the soldier entering the brigade office along with the brigade leader.
The third master hurriedly asked people to witness, took back the sung votes, locked the ballot box back to the office, and came out again to see the villagers who did not leave and gathered outside the brigade to whisper.
The third master drove him away again and again: "Go back! People from the armed forces are coming, and it has nothing to do with us! Come back quickly, don't make any noise here, it's outrageous!"
The crowd gradually dispersed until it was quiet at the entrance of the brigade, and Zhang Jiancheng did not come out.
In the evening, Xiuxiu and her aunts were making clothes under the bright electric light, discussing Zhang Jiancheng's matter. No one knew what it was at the moment, but they had nothing to say about Zhang Jiancheng's character. They only wanted Zhang Jiancheng to be the deputy captain. Don't make any mistakes.
The weather was dry, cold and windless. Feng Laogen was afraid of wasting electricity in the main house, so he didn't turn on the lights, so he lit an oil lamp and put it next to him. He smoked a dry pipe and sat on the doorstep, watching Pebbles and Dandan playing with stones in the yard under a little light. , looked up and saw Zhang Jiancheng entering the yard.
Xiuxiu has been restless for most of the day. She racked her brains and couldn't think of anything that could have happened to Zhang Jiancheng and the Armed Forces at this time in her previous life.
In her previous life, she had been married to the Cheng family for almost a year, but she had never been pregnant with the child. Cheng Guoqiang had not yet passed the college entrance examination for the first time, and the whole family was bored.
He was unhappy, and the harvest in the village was not good. There was no need to elect a vice-captain. After all, it was a miserable winter in his previous life.
At this time, Xiuxiu heard Dandan calling her daddy in the room, so she stood up and ran out the door.
Aunt Ya and the other aunts put down their sewing and winked and said, "Look, isn't she more interested in her than anyone else? She also said she would not marry until she died. I really don't know what she was thinking!"
"Xiuxiu's heart is as high as the sky. She doesn't want to spend her whole life serving men like the rest of us and working around the children's stove!"
"What happened to Xiuxiu's family, it's normal not to want to get married! Poor family, Jian Jian, is devoted to Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu can only stay single without saying anything. She can't hug her even if she wants to, and she can't hug her even if she wants to. Others are watching. They’re all anxious!”
"This is not a matter of urgency!" Aunt Ya packed up the things on hand, stood up and said:
"Let's go! Look at the attitude today, Zhang Jiancheng might have gotten into some trouble! Good things happen, bad things happen too, let's give our young people a place to talk!"
Aunt Ya took the lead, and the other four stopped doing any work. They packed up their things and followed them out. They all said, "Xiu Xiu! The aunts got back first!"
Xiuxiu looked at Zhang Jiancheng's serious face and felt that the matter might not be simple, so she turned around and said perfunctorily: "Come back tomorrow, Auntie!"
Zhang Jiancheng picked up the child, his eyes lingered on Dandan's face for a moment, and he put his face on Dandan's small shoulder and sucked on it, which made Dandan giggle. However, Xiuxiu felt that Zhang Jiancheng's actions were a bit abnormal.
After a while, Zhang Jiancheng handed the child to Feng Laogen: "Uncle! Let me say a few words to Xiuxiu!"
Feng Laogen picked up the child, waved his hand, and turned around.
Then he entered the main room.
Zhang Jiancheng walked up to Xiuxiu and whispered: "Go to your room and talk!"
Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment. She hadn't spoken to him much in the past few days and always deliberately kept her distance. Why did he want to come into her room to talk all of a sudden? He had never been inside her house except for the time when he was pulling wires to install light bulbs.
Xiuxiu didn't move, and asked doubtfully: "People from the Armed Forces Ministry came to see you. Is there something important?"
"Go and tell her in your room!" Zhang Jiancheng looked down at her and made another request. His eyebrows were solemn. Xiuxiu could no longer refuse. After a moment's hesitation, she moved into the room.
Zhang Jiancheng followed him in and closed the door. He raised his eyes and looked at the light, a trace of relief finally flashed in his solemn eyes.
Xiuxiu turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Jiancheng took out a letter from his coat pocket and handed it to her, saying: "Read the words on the face and don't open it!".
Xiuxiu took it and saw "Emergency Recall Order" written on the cover of the letter and stamped with the seal of the military region headquarters.
Xiuxiu's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly remembered something and suddenly turned her head to look at the wall with the calendar hanging on it. The date on it was January 1979, 1!
Time flew by without her noticing, and now it was 1979!
"The old regiment leader sent me a recall order. This is an order that can be obeyed voluntarily. It is not mandatory..." Zhang Jiancheng's voice was very low, as if he didn't want the third person to hear his words.
Xiuxiu felt that the world was spinning before her eyes. 1979 was an important year in history. There was little information at that time. She only listened to the new news through the radio a year later.
I got a bit of an impression when I smelled it.
The real detailed understanding was when the children went to junior high school and she studied history with them.
She couldn't recall whether there was an emergency recall that year, nor could she recall whether Zhang Jiancheng was urgently recalled in his previous life. In his previous life, he broke his arm in 1982, but Xiuxiu didn't remember what happened to him in 1979. Hazy.
