After accepting Han Ying's gift, the "general" returned home from the train station as excited as if he had been on stimulants.

He regarded the little red notebook Han Ying gave him as his most precious treasure. He stared at it for a long time in a place where no one was around.

The bright red luster, the neat edges and corners, neither big nor small, looked so cute. Putting it in his hand and rubbing it, it also made him feel small and smooth, which made him feel indescribably comfortable and happy.

The first page of the diary is the mailing address Han Ying wrote to him.

In addition, he also wrote a correct sentence: Let our friendship last forever and dedicate your fiery youth to the fiery revolutionary cause!

"General" has read this sentence at least a thousand times!

He felt that Han Ying's expression was both revolutionary and beautiful. Although he still had no hope for the future development of the relationship between the two, he had figured out one thing at the moment - Han Ying had always regarded him as a true friend!

So why should he bother to compete with himself? We will talk about the future later. At least for now, he has no reason not to fulfill his promise for this friendship.

The "general"'s educational level was not high, but he still racked his brains, flipped through the dictionary, and tried his best to write a letter that was sensible and expressive of his feelings. He stuffed it into the mailbox and sent it to Han Ying the next day.

The content of the letter is as follows:

Hello Comrade Han Ying, the great leader taught us that the world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis it is yours. You young people are full of vitality and are in their prime, just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. We are all revolutionary youths

, and your friendship has always been the biggest driving force for my revolution to me. It’s just that the distance between us is already a bit far away. I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to keep up with your progress, but I can completely assure you that,

I will always cherish this great friendship.

Sincerely

Proletarian Fighting Salute to Jiang Haichao

Each era has its own way of expressing emotions. This letter was written very simply, with only a few lines. Although there is not a word of love in it, it is essentially an explicit love letter to the "general". He

I also believe that Han Ying will understand what he means when she receives this letter.

Sure enough, Han Ying received a reply soon, and the response was very strong, and the information revealed far exceeded the "general's" expectations.

She said, "I am still young and cannot promise you anything, but I also cherish our friendship. I also want to tell you that if the friendship is truly sincere, then all difficulties and distances can be overcome! In addition, the weather

It's going to be cold, so be careful when you go into the sea and don't freeze."

I've become like this, and she still doesn't mind?

What a good girl, there is no other girl in the world. I am such a fool!

After carefully reading this reply, the "general"'s head suddenly opened up. Perhaps it was because he put too much energy on Han Ying and had imagined her reaction countless times. This time,

His emotional intelligence was surprisingly high, and he understood the true meaning of the letter without any compromise.

He immediately felt that life was so wonderful, and his future would definitely be extremely happy. When he took the "Hai Bangzi" to "Yunwu Cliff" again, he felt like he was in a mythical mood.

He turned a blind eye to the ferocious waves and the steepness of the rock walls. The seagulls flying on the sea, the fresh sea vegetables and the flexible "little fragrant crab roe" on the beach became the focus of his attention, because these gave him many thoughts about Korea.

Ying's association comes.

In addition, he also put the little red notebook in his pocket. He walked, ate, and carried coal. He felt its presence all the time. Even when he crawled out of the sea, his first thought was to touch the little red notebook.

I am afraid that the most precious little thing will be lost.

He would run to the pile of clothes dripping with water and eagerly explore the small book with his hands. Only when the red light reflected from his pocket could he rest assured to bake his body.

But it is a pity that the "general"'s happiness did not last long, because he only received Han Ying's only reply, and then he could not contact her again. The dozen or so letters he subsequently sent were all the same.

A stone sinks into the sea.

This abnormal situation naturally made him depressed and had trouble sleeping and eating, and all kinds of random thoughts occupied his brain.

At first, he wondered whether Han Ying regretted it and did not want to contact him again. Then he thought about the army regulations that did not allow ordinary soldiers to fall in love, and worried that the contents of their communications had been exposed, affecting Han Ying's future.

Finally, he couldn't bear the torture anymore, so he decided to go to Han Ying's house to find out. Unexpectedly, when he went there, he discovered that Han Ying's house was gone.

The doors and windows of Han Ying's small foreign-style building were not only smashed to pieces, but also had the seal of the Revolutionary Committee affixed to them. The big-character posters posted on the outer wall of the small building all exposed the crimes of Han Ying's parents. They were actually beaten to death

Contact with foreign spies!

After the "general" inquired in detail with the neighbors, he learned an even more shocking news. Han Ying's parents committed suicide at home a week ago out of fear of crime. Now the body has been cremated, and it is unknown where they are buried.

.

What about Han Ying? How is Han Ying doing?

No one knows...

For a long period of time after that, the "general" continued the search process in circles.

He rushed to Xi'an after a long journey and found the unit where Han Ying was joining the army. Unexpectedly, he heard that Han Ying had been taken away by the Political Department of Bincheng Military Region.

He then rushed back to Bincheng and tried many different methods to finally meet the military cadre who took Han Ying away. However, he heard that Han Ying had been discharged from the army and was placed under the management of the street revolutionary committee.

Okay, then he found the streets again, only to learn that Han Ying had responded to the country's call and went to the countryside to become an educated youth. As for where exactly she went, she would have to ask the Educated Youth Office.

At that time, tens of thousands of people went to the countryside to join the queue. The Educated Youth Office in Bincheng had less than 20 people, so how could it be managed clearly? Every time, the household registration was cleared and the people were sent to the countryside, and the local government department carried out the work.

Assign placement.

So now, the "general" completely lost the news about Han Ying.

In fact, to be honest, the "general" is not sure whether Han Ying's parents are really guilty. He can't figure out such a complicated political issue. But to take a step back, even if Han Ying's parents are really spies, then

He couldn't just watch the innocent Han Ying suffer and be implicated, and just ignore it.

Therefore, he has not given up his efforts to find her for several years, but unfortunately, despite all his efforts, Han Ying has never been found. So as time went by, even he gradually gave up.

But human fate is really a strange thing, just like a big fishing net. I don’t know when the two separated ropes will cross and connect again.

In 1976, very accidentally, a boy who came to "General" to buy sea cucumbers for a relative's wedding told him that there was a girl about his age who wanted to get married. She was tall, waistline, and good-looking!

The "general" didn't care after hearing this, thinking that the boy wanted to give him a cheaper price, so he took the initiative to lower the price, but never mentioned the meeting. Unexpectedly, the boy insisted on the contrary, saying that the girl guaranteed that he would like her.

It would be foolish not to go and see him.

"It's so good, why don't you keep it for yourself? Besides, how dare you conclude that she can like me?" "General" said half-jokingly.

"She is not picky about men at all, as long as they have all the arms and legs. There are three key points. First, she is a 'black five' child. Second, you have to pay a bride price of 500 yuan. Third, you have to find a way to give her a household registration.

Go to the city. You have been in the sea for so many years, so you should have the financial resources..." The boy saw that the "general" was interesting, so he gave a general overview of the situation.

In fact, this guy didn't know much about the specific situation, because the girl was an educated youth in the same class as his cousin, and she really couldn't stand rural life, so she wanted to take this path.

In this day and age, the "five black categories" are something that everyone can't avoid. In addition, the amount of money is certainly not a small amount, and ordinary families can never afford it. In addition, it is also an earth-shattering event to apply for a household registration from rural areas to cities.

.There were indeed many girls at that time who would rather find a disabled person, a mute or a blind person in order to obtain a household registration.

But according to what this kid said, it’s actually a good thing, because without these conditions, a “Hai Bingzi” would never be able to find such a beautiful partner in eight lifetimes! From this point of view, it’s not a loss, as Yanfu can be enjoyed for a lifetime!

But the "general" was still not moved. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the money, nor did he dislike the "five black categories", but that he couldn't tolerate others in his heart. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, he gave the sea cucumber to that person as agreed.

When the boy was sent there, he happened to meet his cousin and the girl at the boy's home.

They were two gorgeous women. They were sitting in the main room chatting with their faces turned sideways. At first glance, they did look like movie stars, but they were talking and laughing with cigarettes in their mouths. Their behavior was very much like the women in the movie.

spy.

The boy who wanted to be a matchmaker was quite proud. After opening the door, he quietly stabbed the "general" with his hand. "How is it? Do you regret it?"

The "general" was dumbfounded by him. He said that he was indeed a child of the "five black categories" and was too corrupt. Fortunately, he didn't agree. Who cares about such a devilish "vixen"? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she has good conduct.

No, it's also a piece of junk.

So he sent the sea cucumber directly and asked the boy for money, wanting to leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, the sound of their conversation made both women turn their faces. The "general's" outstretched arm immediately froze in mid-air like a plaster statue. He could not describe the feeling of surprise at that time. Even if he was acting in a movie, he would not be able to act out that moment.

scene.

One of those two women turned out to be Han Ying!

Han Ying also immediately recognized the "general", she said "ouch", and then the two of them turned into wooden piles.

It is not difficult for anyone to guess in this scene that the two of them knew each other in the past. Therefore, the extra two people disappeared in a "whoosh".

The "general" and Han Ying seemed to have stood facing each other for ten thousand years before each other regained their vitality. In order not to continue to be embarrassed, the "general" took the initiative to ask Han Ying to go outside for a walk.

Frankly speaking, the "general's" heart was like a boiling kettle, rolling with a hundred degrees of heat. He talked about his experience of searching for Han Ying for many years, and asked Han Ying what happened next. He

I especially want to know how Han Ying lived these years, what she encountered, and how she became more bourgeois than bourgeois.

But although Han Ying silently followed him on the street, when faced with his questions, she said nothing and just walked with her head lowered, leaving him wondering what to do.

Finally, the "general" stopped completely and mustered up the courage to say decisively, "Han Ying, if you really don't want to say it, I won't ask. But you can't marry a man without choosing his appearance. I have five hundred dollars,

If you want to use it, just take it. You don’t have to think too much, no matter what, I will get you back to the city!"

Unexpectedly, Han Ying, who had been silent all this time, not only did not appreciate the kindness, but also spoke heartlessly. "Jiang Haichao! You must not want me!"

After saying that, he dropped him dryly and left.

The "General" seemed to have been standing on the street for another ten thousand years. He was so sad that his eyes, which he had sworn not to cry again since his father's death, were actually a little wet.

He was sad for his years of sacrifice, and he was also sad for Han Ying's current state. He never imagined that he didn't care that she had become as ugly as a spy, and he still wanted to help her, but she would do this to him.

The sparkling youthful and pure Han Ying seems to have disappeared forever!

After the "general" returned home, he lay like a sick patient for a long time. He was definitely heartbroken again. He stir-fried on the bed like a fish in a wok for a long time, and finally jumped up and found the little red notebook.

He wanted to tear it off to vent his anger. But when things came to a close, when he saw the four words "friendship lasts forever", he couldn't bear to part with it.
To be continued...
