A luxury bullet-headed business vehicle slid out of the hotel. In addition to the driver Liu Dacheng, Ye Zhiran and Sima Zhan were also on the car.

Before leaving, Feng Hanxuan repeatedly reminded him that if there was anything on the way, he must call him as soon as possible. Ye Zhiran agreed very seriously.

It was around 9 a.m. because it was already midsummer and the weather was very hot. Liu Dacheng turned on the air conditioner, and the air conditioner was like fog, drifting back from the air supply vent.

The front and rear rows of this car are very wide, and the car has a certain height, which is much more comfortable than sitting in a sedan. Sima Shu~sitting with his wife Sun Yu, he was very excited. After leaving the provincial capital, he pointed to the rice fields on both sides of the expressway and said, "Xiaoyu, I remember that when we first arrived in the countryside, we didn't dare to go down the fields. We wore rubber shoes and were teased by the old farmers in the village for a long time."

"Yes, it's better for you guys to be braver, and the guys who went to the field in the end were all boys."

In that era, with a call from the leader, countless intellectual youths went to the frontier, to the countryside, to the most difficult environment, and used their own hands to change the world. Their thoughts were much purer than in this era of materialism, and the social atmosphere was also good. You don’t have to worry about thieves when you open the door and sleep.

When the car drove to the fork road from the provincial capital to Jianan City, Liu Dacheng stopped the car and asked Zhang Dabin to get on the car.

It turned out that Ye Zhiran learned that he was the only one with Sima Shu. After walking in so many places, he was worried about safety issues and called Zhang Dabin temporarily to let him accompany him. This way, he could not only be their personal guard, but also take turns driving with Liu Dacheng, and the safety factor was much higher.

Ye Zhiran introduced Zhang Dabin to Sima and his wife: "Sima Shu~Just, Sister Sun, this is Zhang Dabin. My ex-driver has good driving skills. Let him and Liu Dacheng take turns to drive."

Sima Zhan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then thank you Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu for your hard work."

The first stop is Chang Jia.

The rural area where Sima Zhan went to the countryside was the Shengli Brigade of Yuanhong Commune, Changjia County. It has now been renamed Shengli Village, Yuanhong Township. Yuanhong Township is located in the southwest of Mashi Town, and is a relatively remote rural area, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The business car drove to the village headquarters of Shengli Village, and then there was no way. Ye Zhiran turned around and asked: "Sima Shu~Just, where will we go first?"

Sima Zhan got off the car and looked at the surrounding environment. He sighed and said, "Although the houses have basically been renovated, the road is still the same as before. When we were in line, the bus drove here, and then we had to walk 30 minutes to the village we were in."

Sun Yu smiled and said, "Don't sigh. We lack exercise now, so let's go over. Didn't we measure the earth with our feet like this back then?"

Yuanhong Township is a rural village mainly for growing grain. Shengli Village is composed of eighteen natural villages, each of which is about fifty or sixty households, and the houses are built next to each other to form a small village. Then, there are farmland between the small villages and the small villages. Organic farming roads are connected.

At this time, the mechanical farming road was covered with some cinders, so it looked better than when Sima Zhan was in the lineup. Sima Shu~ said to Ye Zhiran: "Xiao Ye, we have lived in Yuanhong Township for about a year. There are more than 300 students in our group who were in the lineup, and they are organized into a battalion. I am the deputy company commander, and Sun Yu is the company correspondent. Haha. It sounds like a battalion, the company is like a military organization, but in fact it is entirely a place to build the earth in the countryside. But there is half a day a week to organize learning, hold meetings to exchange ideas and farming experiences. Basically, educated youth who go to the lineup will gather in the school in the village. Well, do you see it? It's that school."

Sima Zhan pointed to a primary school not far away and said, "Let's go and have a look."

The school has two buildings in front and back, one in front and one in the second floor, and one in the middle, with a playground of nearly 500 square meters. Such schools are already relatively formal in rural areas.

When Sima Zhan took Ye Zhiran and others to the school gate, he saw that the school had been closed and the campus was occupied by a clothing factory.

Sima Zhan pointed to a black-line school plaque on the white background at the school gate and said, "At that time, 'Shengli Primary and Secondary School' was the place where we concentrated our study every week. That lively scene, drink! We only met once a week, and we couldn't finish talking. Sometimes we would organize literary and artistic performances. There were so many farmers watching the performance on the playground. Sun Yu was an activist in the art performance at that time."

Ye Zhiran saw Sun Yu's still lively eyes and well-proportioned facial features and knew that she was a flower among educated youth. He smiled and said, "I can see that Sister Sun must have been a beautiful woman who could cause clouds in all directions back then. I don't know how Sima Shu got it. Haha, I feel that Sister Sun was willing to marry in a wronged way back then, and must have fallen in love with Sima Shu. Ji's extraordinary ability and his eyes were like a torch."

He used the word "marrying wronged" to praise Sun Yu's beauty and talent, and then used the word "eye is like a torch" to highlight Sima Shu~'s ability to remember, and praised two people in one sentence. Sima Shu~'s memory smiled and pointed Ye Zhiran with his fingers, saying: "Mayor Ye's words are very high-level!"

"Where is where, that's the truth."

In this way, we walked to the village where Sima Zhan was in the lineup and walked into the entrance of the village. The Sima Shu~ looked at a house on the east side of the threshing farm and said, "At that time, there was a house of educated youth built here. It was not big, so the five of us lived here. Unfortunately, the house had been demolished, otherwise we could leave a picture and send it to the others to see."

The house land that Sima Zhan mentioned had already built a new building with three ups and three downs. They walked to the front of the new building and sighed here.

These people are actually very eye-catching, from momentum, clothing to voices, they seem a little out of place with the countryside. So many people have noticed them.

A woman came out of the new building and asked, "Are you looking for someone or is there anything?"

Sima Zhan looked back and was stunned, and then the woman was stunned.

"…Sima?" she asked hesitantly.

The woman seemed to be about the same age as Sima Zhan, but rural women were prone to getting old, so her actual age should be slightly younger than him.

Sima Zhan looked at her with some excitement and asked, "Are you Ding Chunhua?"

The woman named Ding Chunhua was obviously happy and smiled and said, "Is it really Sima? Come in and sit for a while." Then she looked at Sun Yu and suddenly said, "You are Sun... Yuyan, from the literary team."

Thirty years have passed, and the graceful woman who was once a middle-aged woman is now a middle-aged woman. The knife of time has carved some wrinkles on their faces.

Sima Zhan took the lead in walking into Ding Chunhua's house and took a seat in her living room.

The exterior decoration of this house looks good, but the decoration inside is very ordinary. The living room should be a more important room, but the walls are painted with lime, and the floor is a very thin layer of cement. Because the cement composition is small, there is a little sand on the ground.

Most houses in rural areas are like this. No matter how well they are decorated, they are left with no furniture.

Sima Zhan said: "Ding Chunhua, I remember that your house should be five or six meters behind, so how did it be built here?"

The house of the educated youth was built not far from the threshing farm, very close to Ding Chunhua's house. The little girl had just graduated from high school at that time and had a high education in the countryside, so she had a good impression of these educated youth and often went to their house to chat with her. She actually liked Sima Zhan a little, and after other educated youths saw this, she often made fun of Sima Zhan. A year later, Sima Zhan followed the "big army" to the "May Fourth Farm" in Shuimen County, and Ding Chunhua also visited him at the May Fourth Farm.

For her, it might be a memory-filled first love in her life, even though Sima Zhan had no intention at the beginning.

Sima Zhan asked: "Well? Why are you... still at home?"

Ding Chunhua understood what he meant and replied: "My father didn't want to marry me, so he stayed at home to recruit a son-in-law."

"Well, where do you work at that moment?"

"He? He went to work in Hudong and went home only when he encountered a festival."

"Where is the child?"

"I've gone to study. I have two. The eldest is my son. I'm studying at the provincial capital's Institute of Technology. I'm going to graduate at the end of this month. I haven't found a job yet. I'm running around in the provincial capital. My daughter is waiting for the notification after the college entrance examination. Today I went to my classmate's house to play."

"Well, that's pretty good."

"The two children are very good, just like when I was a kid, I like reading."

They were talking indifferently, Sima Zhan seemed willing to talk to her like this, while Sun Yu just listened quietly.

"Where are you?" Ding Chunhua looked at Sima Zhan, then at Sun Yu, and asked, "Are you married Sister Yuyan? How old are the children?"

Sun Yu asked, "Hey, Ding Chunhua, I always wanted to ask you at that time, why do you call me Swift?"

The swift looks not very good-looking, with black feathers and a little red mouth.

"Well, because you can dance and you can turn over in vain. We feel that you are as light as a swallow."

"Ha! It turns out that it's a good thing, but I've been thinking about it for several years."

"You haven't told me how old the child is."

Sima Zhan said: "My son is also in college, and he is in the capital in his sophomore year."

"...It's so far away." Ding Chunhua sighed and asked, "You are working in the capital now?"

"Yes, in the capital."

"Today I'm here to see where I lived in that year, right?" Ding Chunhua opened her mouth with a scholar's tone, which was not very consistent with her face. "It's rare that you still remember this place." After saying this, maybe she felt something and tears flashed from the corners of her eyes.

As things go by, the rural girl with some hope should have been worn away by life's fantasy of youth. Perhaps, this rural girl who thought she had studied and was no worse than the city's people had dreams of marrying an educated youth, but such a dream must have been lost in the corner of the pillow for thirty years. The unexpected appearance of Sima Zhan evoked some memories.
