I peeled off a few more pieces and smelled my fingers.
The smoke suddenly made me frown.
I hit my sore neck and looked at the silent mountains outside the village.
I suddenly felt an inexplicable loss.
Could it be that I Are you going to stay in the mountains cutting tomb bricks and looking at forest farms for the rest of your life?
Chairman Mao waved his hand to change course, and millions of students changed battlefields and went to the mountains and countryside.
Accepting re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants, although it is indeed training, but after all, it is far from my ideal.
I was still too young at the time, and I was anxious about my future.
I thought of living in a ravine for the rest of my life, unable to join the army and fight to realize myself.
Ambition, bursts of panic immediately occurred deep in my heart, my nose was sore, and my tears almost fell.
The fat man saw that I looked weird and asked me what I was thinking.
Why did I sigh and reply, having been frowning all day long, "What the hell, I'm just worrying about the liberation of the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America."
The fat man He advised me: "Don't worry, people from Asia, Africa, and La We don't care about how people in various continents in the United States are living, and maybe they don't need me to worry about them.
It's almost time to get off work, so I'll treat you to a donkey's water dinner tonight, and then you can eat as much as you want.
To put it in their Northeastern dialect, they are just outsiders.
I wiped the dripping nose and was about to discuss with the fat man how to clean up the donkey's water.
At this time, the old party secretary came back.
He went to the brigade to do some work and picked up a few parcels for the educated youth.
Transportation in the mountains is inconvenient.
Let's come.
I have been jumping in line for several months and have almost lost contact with the outside world.
I went to contact him.
It was the first time I saw a postal parcel.
I was overjoyed.
I immediately forgot about everything.
What Fatty and I were most worried about was, of course, the situation at home.
But the branch secretary rummaged through it for a long time and informed us that there was no postal parcel for us. , these are all belonging to several other educated youths.
Although I knew that my family was now quarantined, and of course I had no chance to send anything, I still felt very uncomfortable.
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, the old branch secretary called us back again, holding a letter in his hand.
Say this is the only letter addressed to you two.
The fat man and I were slightly startled and rushed over to grab the letter.
We were still very puzzled as to why the two of us had written a letter.
Swallow was also very curious and came over to read the letter with us.
I suppressed my excitement and couldn't wait.
I looked at the envelope and saw that the letter was forwarded from the communication room of the military region in our hometown, so there was an envelope inside which was the original.
Obviously the sender didn't know the address where Fatty and I jumped in, so he sent the letter to the military region, and then sent it to the military region. was forwarded.
I opened the letter and read it carefully word by word.
It turned out that the sender was Ding Sitian, a Red Guard comrade I met on the train when Fatty and I were on a nationwide campaign.
She was about the same age as us.
Top literary and artistic people, we hit it off like old friends, and we have traveled together through most of China.
In Chairman Mao's hometown, we each grabbed a handful of local soil, We didn't let go for a whole day and night.
As a result, our hands were swollen.
In Yan'an, the Holy Land of Revolution, we shared a piece of dry food in a cave dwelling.
We also received the highest-level inspection in Tiananmen.
When the series ended and we broke up, we left each other messages.

Address, it has been a long time since this happened.
I never expected that I would receive a letter from her in the mountains today.
Ding Sitian's parents are both museum workers.
There are four children in the Ding family, each named after "Resisting U.S.
Aggression and Aiding Korea, Remembering the Bitterness and Thinking of the Sweet".
This was also the mainstream naming of children at that time.
She mentioned in her letter to us To: This is written to my closest revolutionary comrades Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
Since we parted in the great capital Beijing, I have been thinking about the days and nights we spent together in the morning and evening.
I just wanted to write to you, but a lot of things happened at home.
I think you must have enlisted in the army as you wished.
It is also my dream to join the People's Liberation Army of China gloriously and become a revolutionary warrior.
I hope you can put on the military uniform.
Send me the photos and let me share your joy.
Finally, please don’t forget the revolutionary friendship between us.
I wish it is higher than the mountains, farther than the roads, evergreen and never fades.
I learned from the letter that Ding Sitian, who wanted to join the army, had to go to Karen Zuo Banner in Inner Mongolia to join the army due to family background and many other reasons.
And she obviously didn't know that Fatty and I had similar experiences to her, and we didn't join the army.
I was sent to Daxinganling to jump in line.
After reading the letter, Fatty and I didn't speak for a long time.
I was too embarrassed to reply to Ding Sixian, and there was no photo of me in military uniform to send to her.
I felt from Ding Sitian’s letter that she was very lonely.
Perhaps life in Karenzuo Banner was more monotonous than in the mountains.
Although Karenzuo Banner belongs to Inner Mongolia like Ganggangyingzi where I live, it does not belong to the same country.
League, Karenzuo Banner is a pastoral area on the grassland.
The environment is harsh and the population is sparse.
It is far away from the Xing'an League Road.
Ding Sitian can still sing and dance.
It's unimaginable to let her graze on the grassland.
How can I make people feel at ease?
As I was thinking about it, I found the fat man rummaging through the box looking for paper to write a reply, so I said to him: "Don't look for it.
There's not even paper for wiping your butt."
Where can I find the letter paper?
I think we are almost stupid in the mountains.
Why not go to the grassland to play around and see our close comrades on the way. " When Yanzi heard that I wanted to go to the grassland, he asked in surprise: "Why don't you go to the Karenzuo Banner grassland and you can't drive back and forth for ten days and a half?
If you don't work for so many days, what will you eat when you get back?"
" I nodded to Yan Zi.
Of course I had to consider this issue.
Work points are the lifeblood of educated youth.
The educated youth who go to the mountains and countryside to join the team are different from those who join the Production and Construction Corps, Beidahuang and other places, which adopt quasi-military management.
It is based on division, which includes regiment, battalion, company, platoon, Class-level standard military organization, Corps members receive a monthly allowance of six yuan including food and accommodation.
The advantage of the Corps is that it has a fixed income, but the disadvantage is that it lacks freedom and cannot come and leave whenever they want.
The educated youth practice is The disadvantage of the work-point system is that the income is unreliable, but the advantage is that you can come and go freely, and it is very convenient to ask for leave.
Some people may find it strange that since the educated youth are so free, why don't they go back to the city?
This is mainly because there will be no food rations when they go back, and the so-called queue jumping means that since the registered permanent residence has been settled in the countryside, it is considered a rural registered permanent residence.
If you go back, you will still be a black household.

There are no more people in the city.
With this number, it is impossible to find a job.
After all, food is the most important thing for the people.
People cannot survive without eating.
If you don’t have work points, you will have no food rations, so you are locked up.
We picked up a lot of golden beans at Tuanshanzi Forest Farm a few days ago.
Of course we didn’t dare to keep these for ourselves.
After we handed them over to the public, the party secretary was kind-hearted.
Although there was no such thing as a bonus at that time, he still agreed to give us two more beans.
Month's work points are earned, and I will save them for a long vacation when I go back to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year.
In other words, Fatty and I didn't have to work for two months.
We were tired of staying in the mountains and missed Ding Sitian, so we decided to go for a walk on the grassland
