Prophet Hu, who disappeared, did not return until the evening.
In the evening, when Gu Huaijin was eating, he found that the prophet Hu, who often watched him eat, was missing from the cowshed. Gu Huaijin was shocked to realize that most of his conversations with He Songbai were overheard by this kid, and he must be running to him now. The younger brother went there to inform.
He was shaking all over.
Gu Huaijin hurriedly went to He Songbai and said angrily, "Then the bastard went to his junior brother to get some air! Will this affect you?"
Gu Huaijin discovered the fact that Prophet Hu was absent, and He Songbai also discovered it.
He Songbai said, "It doesn't matter."
He recalled the scene at that time, and it must have been some distance away if Hu was not discovered by him. At that time, his voice was very low, so Prophet Hu probably couldn't hear that part, but what he could hear might be the part where Gu Huaijin scolded people excitedly.
He Songbai said: "The top priority is to remove him from his post, and he can't figure out any tricks if he is removed."
He paused and asked, "Is Principal Fu willing to listen to your opinion?"
Gu Huaijin assured: "You don't have to worry about this, he is a very decent person."
Gu Huaijin simply stopped writing any letters. The next day, he went to the county post office and sent a telegram to Principal Fu. After sending the telegram, he walked out of the post office and it happened to be raining. It was a desolate cold rain, and a desolate daze filled my heart.
He suddenly felt that the past few decades had been mediocre. Over the years, he had nurtured many students, some outstanding and some unknown. However, the disciples who came out of him did not make any achievements, but caused harm to the society. The first two were ignorant and ignorant, and the mountain was destroyed. The remaining one was reformed through labor, and the other was suspected of bad behavior, which made him extremely uncomfortable Yes, it's very unpleasant.
In the swaying cold rain, Gu Huaijin's back hunched even more.
…
Hezitun.
The news of the results of the college entrance examination finally spread to the countryside in a crazy manner. The second-rate boy in the village who was ignorant and idle, even got into the university and got the first place in the province!
This shocked the people in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships. In such a poor and dilapidated place, they actually came out with a sharp first.
The first place in the entire province, decades ago, was the sturdy Jinshi. The villagers in Hezitun were amazed, and they all sighed that the ancestral tomb of the landlord's family was probably not smoking, right
Originally, they looked down on the old landlord's family, but now they can't sit still. What a complicated feeling this is. When I mention it to others, I am very proud, but when I close the door and discuss it with my own people, it is full of disgust, and I can't even believe it.
"Does this person have such a smart brain? I remember Mr. He, but he hasn't read a serious book for a day!"
"Even a second-rate student can take the top spot. Isn't the college entrance examination too easy? Let the boss of my family try it next year."
"This score may be copied!"
The head of the educated youth in the brigade refused to accept it. They said, "This is the country's serious college admissions test. Cheating is a crime!"
"The college entrance examination is as easy as you say, everyone is a college student!"
Li family.
Hearing that He Songbai had transformed himself into the number one Li Zhishu in X Province, his eyes widened.
He originally thought that his sexual attitude was extremely wicked, and he was sentenced to labor reform for indecent and molesting a woman the year before, so that He Songbai would be brushed off. As a result, He Xiaozi took the first place in the test, which was difficult.
On this day, the brigade came to a reporter from a provincial newspaper. He asked He Songbai to take a routine photo. After all, this was the first champion in X province since the resumption of the college entrance examination, which was of great significance. This reporter intends to write a separate page on He Songbai's advanced deeds to encourage next year's candidates to study.
But when they found out that the champion was actually the descendant of the landlord, the reporter's red face turned a little gray.
How could Zhao Lanxiang let go of this opportunity to make He Songbai famous, she hurriedly grabbed the reporter when she saw it.
She said: "There has been a saying throughout the ages that heroes do not ask for a way out. Comrade D, the national leader, paid attention to educating the country and cherishing intellectuals, so he insisted on allowing the black five to participate in the college entrance examination. It is precisely because of the country's tolerant policies that Allow real talent to stand out.”
"Comrade He overcame his hardships and was admitted to the provincial champion without studying for a day. Isn't this something worthy of encouragement and study by candidates?"
Zhao Lanxiang's words made the reporter from the provincial newspaper stop.
She guided the reporter to sit down and interview He Songbai well, and asked him to write in the direction that the country respects intellectuals and cherishes talents. She briefly read the manuscript before letting him go.
When He Songbai saw the object's posture, he was rather dumbfounded.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "Brother Bai, this is an opportunity to make you famous."
"Only when others can see you, can your problems attract the attention of society."
He Songbai was silent when he heard the words.
He felt that the object's words made sense, he smiled and said, "You think so far."
But what He Songbai didn't expect was that it was a report that Zhao Lanxiang insisted on writing, which finally became the opportunity to send him to university.
…
Within a few days, Gu Huaijin soon received a telegram reply from Mr. Fu. He said to He Songbai, "I've been dismissed, Wu Yong has no job, I'm afraid I have to go back to Hezitun obediently."
Saying that, Gu Huaijin glared at Prophet Hu coldly.
Hu Prophet, who was burning wood, was struggling, he suppressed the grievances in his heart, and brought out the boiled white porridge and called Gu Huaijin to eat it.
"Teacher drank porridge and beat two eggs you like. It's delicious."
In order to prevent Gu Huaijin from alienating him, Prophet Hu honestly invited him, and he explained to Gu Huaijin what happened that day.
Prophet Hu recalled Wu Yong's smiling expression that day, and he couldn't help shivering. He said to Gu Gong, "He asked me to bring a sentence to you, teacher."
"He said that all the bitterness poured into his heart."
Prophet Hu went to X University that day. He disappointedly asked Wu Yong about burning ashes on the mountain last winter.
With a smile on his face, Wu Yong explained gently: "How could I do these things, who told you this?"
"You also know that if I didn't have Teacher Gu, I couldn't finish my studies. He has kindness to me. How could I do something like setting fire to his heart?"
"If I did, I would have to die."
Prophet Hu asked directly: "You don't have to lie to me again! I have already asked the old Wu who burned the ashes that day. He said that you had shown him the mountain once, and he set the fire only after he was sure that no one was there. If you did not That kind of thought, why did you appear there at that time and say that to him."
Wu Yong's smile grew stronger, he said, "I really didn't see anyone at that time."
"But I insisted on asking Lao Wu to confirm it again. In the end, he didn't go, so I went up the mountain to find out and took the risk to investigate for him. If I didn't go up, Mr. Gu might not be alive today. ungrateful?"
"Yes, you didn't. Could you explain to me why you went there on purpose that day?"
Wu Yong did not speak.
Prophet Hu looked at his smiling face, suddenly shivered, and left without saying much.
Before leaving, Wu Yong finally said, "Mr. Gu has always favored Junior Brother Sun Xiang, but never liked me. I was wondering if it was because of my family that made him hate me so much."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do this job for long. Help me with a word for him."
"All the bitterness poured into my heart."
Prophet Hu heard this endless remark, and jumped on the public transport with a snort. His fat body was clumsy and bloated, and he was as gray as a rat in a sewer.
Wu Yong stared at the disappearing figure of his senior brother, his eyes were far-reaching.
…
After hearing the words brought by Prophet Hu, Gu Huaijin took another look at Prophet Hu's gray and resigned expression.
He scolded: "I'm sick, and all the bitter water! His brain seems to be broken."
Gu Huaijin wrote a letter explaining that Wu Yong returned to Hezitun. As a result, Gu Huaijin sat and waited for the right, and after waiting for half a month, he did not see any reply from Wu Yong.
Time is like running water, and half a month after Laba is over, the farmers are busy preparing.
The New Year is approaching, and the educated youth in the countryside have to organize into teams to go back to their hometowns together.
It was a gray day without light, and Sister He touched her stomach and got up early. She poured a bowl of hot water for Grandma to moisten her mouth in the morning.
She went to her private plot to pick a handful of rapeseed and prepared to order noodles for breakfast for Zhao Lanxiang, who was going to catch a car. After picking vegetables, she washed the crispy radishes one by one.
Suddenly she heard light footsteps, and without looking back she said, "Brother Bo, did you come back so early today?"
As soon as she raised her head, a figure of a man appeared in front of her. Soon her mouth and nose were covered, her neck was crooked, her eyes were closed, and she fell beside the cold well.
…
Jiang Li, who lives in the captain's house, got up early this day for the first time ever. She happily picked up the packed luggage and walked towards the He's house with a small suitcase.
Zhao Lanxiang promised to give her a bag of rice cakes and oil cakes, which Jiang Li had eaten. This is a sweet but not greasy, crispy and beautiful dessert.
Jiang Li has been coveting it for a long time. She only went to Zhao's house to eat two pieces cheekily last year. This year, she finally caught a chance. She must grind Zhao Lanxiang to make more for her and bring it back Family.
But Zhao Lanxiang said that this kind of thing is easy to get wet if it is stored for too long, and the one made the night before is the best, so let her come and get it today.
In order not to miss the car, Jiang Li came to He's house early in the morning.
She saw Sister He washing radishes by the well. This woman is the daughter-in-law of the captain. She heard that she was four months pregnant, her stomach was slightly bulging, and she squatted by the well with her legs bent.
Jiang Li just wanted to shout and go up to help her, but she saw a man holding a handkerchief and quickly covering Sister He's mouth and nose.
Soon, she fell by the well.
Jiang Li burst out, "Mom, what are you doing!"
She hurriedly dropped her luggage and rushed up like an arrow that had left the string.

All the bitter water flows into my heart, explain this sentence
From Bei Dao's "Answer", 1976.
The two most famous lines of the poem are:
The vile is the pass of the vile,
Noble is the epitaph of the noble.
This sentence is not a complaint, but a reminder to Gu Gong.
Whoa, I'm bad.
It's a pity Gu Gong can't understand.
