Chapter 214 [214] Three Thousand

There are many people in the Martyrs' Cemetery, government agencies, hospitals, schools, and troops. I heard from the teachers that every year during the tree planting season, everyone will come to the Martyrs' Cemetery, and the area of ​​the cemetery here is also expanding. In addition to martyrs' monuments, tombstones, and museums, there are educational places such as cemeteries. Rather than cemeteries, it is a memorial hall, where the education system can visit and teach.

So planting trees in March and Qingming Festival in April is the most crowded time in the martyrs' cemetery.

Zhuo Lin didn't expect to meet Zhou Tao from Beiyou, Xu Yang from the National People's Congress here, and Shan Chun and Xu Yang whom we met on the train. Shan Chun and Xu Yang were both from the National People's Congress, but Shan Chun is from the Chinese Department, and Xu Yang seems to be from the physics department. Like Huaqing, every school sends a small team to plant trees and afforestation.

Zhou Tao and Xu Yang are Zhuo Lin's high school classmates. Although she doesn't have a deep impression of them, she became familiar with Zhou Tao when watching movies during the Chinese New Year. This is the first time Xu Yang has seen him after graduation. He is so tall, he must have been over 1.85 meters tall. Although he is thin, he is not ugly. His face is not bad either, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is very angular.

There were about 30 people in Huaqing, and there were only ten people in their medical department alone. There were not many people who signed up for other departments. Zhuo Lin reasoned that the counselors made the wrong number, so that their medical department became a heavy labor force. Among the 30 people, the only ones were embarrassed by her and Ge Dahong.

Huaqing is worthy of being the Wudaokou Sports Academy. The ratio of men and women is uneven. It would be nice to have two people. Unlike the Renmin University, there are also thirty people. The ratio of men and women is almost equal. The ratio of Beijing University is also equal. You, including the Beihang University, are almost 50 points. This combination is perfect. If you match men and women, you won’t be tired of working!

Every university has a flag, but Zhuo Lin didn't think about going to find classmates. Or did they see their Huaqing flag and come over to ask. Unexpectedly, he saw the red spot in the green clusters: "Zhuo Lin, Zhuo Lin?"

Zhou Tao and Xu Yang came together. I don’t know if it was because she called her name too loudly, which attracted Shan Chun’s attention, and ran over excitedly.

"Miss Zhuo Lin, it's really you. Oh, it's such a coincidence. I've said I've been to your school for a long time and I haven't found a chance. I didn't expect that we met here!"

When Ge Dahong saw that her classmates had come over, he quickly took the tree in her hand: "Okay, you go and talk to them for a while, just leave it to me."

Zhuo Lin looked back at the progress, and after a brief greeting to them, he said.

"It's just the weekend tomorrow, and we'll gather together in the evening, but now it's better to work first. We'll finish it early. Let's go back early and get together when we have lunch!"

Everyone else is working, and she is embarrassed to be lazy. Although everyone comes here, who knows if there are any petty people?

Shan Chun also thought Zhuo Lin’s words made sense, so everyone agreed to sit together for lunch.

There is no canteen in the cemetery, but the schools have booked meals from the people in the surrounding villages, all of which are big pot dishes, each person has a bowl of vegetables and two steamed buns. If they are not enough, they can be added. They are all sent to the mountain by the people, and the school will give compensation.

This season is when the green and yellow are not combined, and the only dishes you can eat are cabbage and radish, so the cabbage stewed with vermicelli, with tofu and radish meatballs added. Although there is no meat, it tastes really good. There are also pickled shredded white radish, which tastes sour and spicy. Even the three-million steamed buns in your hand are delicious because the dishes taste good and tastes fragrant.

Everyone had a meal and they were all sitting together from various schools. Zhuo Lin sneaked out as soon as the meal started and ran into Zhou Tao and Xu Yang. Although Shan Chun had something to say to her, they knew that she was not a classmate and was inconvenient to disturb her. So they stayed quietly in their group like Ge Dahong.

Xu Yang is not a person who is good at expressing himself. Although he is very calm, he actually has hope to meet Zhuo Lin on such an occasion.

Both are freshmen and all colleges are coming, so the hope of meeting Zhuo Lin naturally exists, especially, he also wants to confirm something.

“Have you signed up for the English competition?”

Zhuo Lin put the shredded radish on the steamed bun, bit it hard, then nodded at Xu Yang, and said in a speechless manner: "I've reported..."

Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll report too."

Zhuo Lin swallowed the rice in her mouth, "That's pretty good. Maybe we can meet it. If we are lucky, we might become competitors."

After saying that, he did not forget to bare his little white teeth at Xu Yang. Zhou Tao looked back and forth at them. The more he looked, the happier he felt, and the more he felt that they were compatible.

"By the way, Zhuo Lin, do you know? Caihua's case was solved, and her own father killed her. Not only did she kill her, but she also... it caused a lot of sensation in our area."

Zhuo Lin sighed, "Is that Yang Mancang captured?"

"That's necessary. It's so bad that I was sentenced to death directly. The Yang family didn't believe it and said they wanted to appeal. Aunt Mancang... went crazy."

"Crazy? What about her family? Have you picked her up?"

Zhou Tao glanced at Zhuo Lin, sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid that she would implicate her family, so I refused to accept her. After all, with such a crazy husband, who would still be willing to accept her? People are already crazy. The old couple of the Yang family vented their anger on her every day. It seems that they will not live for a few days."

Zhuo Lin didn't expect the ending to be like this. The truth, in exchange for a craziness and death, sounded unworthy. What about Caihua? Will she die so unknown? Before she died, how much did she hate this drunk father? Not to mention being crazy, she was a beast that was worse than a pig or a dog.

When talking about Caihua, Zhuo Lin's face looked a little ugly. She thought of turning back and writing a letter to her mother and asking her to inquire. It would be a pity if she was alone.

Because winter is short, the time for meals is limited, so I gathered to work without saying a few words. At 4:00 pm, Zhuo Lin and several others asked for leave with the counselor and wanted to go back by themselves, so they had their free time.

Of course, only Zhou Tao and Xu Yang and Shan Chun, Zhuo Lin gave her the address of her home and asked her to go to her to play on the weekend. She made her delicious food, and Shan Chun agreed happily.

Worried that Ge Dahong would not be able to let go with her, he simply asked her to follow the school team back.

"What do you want to eat? I'm treating you. I haven't talked to you much in three years of high school. It's really a sin. Now, we're in the capital and can go home together in the future. So today, in order to show my sincerity, I'll ask two gay men to give me a chance to treat me. How about it?"

Zhuo Lin’s family situation has never told her classmates in three years of high school. She is usually low-key and eats whatever her classmates eat, and does not make it special. Therefore, her understanding of her family is also based on the college entrance examination myth family reported later by reporters.

An ordinary rural family has produced eight key college students and an excellent junior high school student studying. Who is curious about such a great family?

So later, through the journalist's publicity, the news of their family selling tofu spread. Although they didn't know how much they could earn by selling tofu, it would be better to open a shop in the county town than ordinary farmers. So when she was rushing to treat her, the two boys didn't refuse. Why did they refuse? How could they refuse? There would be a next time if they refused?

It is natural to follow her to eat free food, and she will have the opportunity to come back next time. Although every family is not rich during this period, Zhou Tao and Xu Yang both found part-time jobs, and scholarships are waiting to be paid. There is still money to invite Zhuo Lin to a meal.

"Just just now I heard you say to Shan Chun, have you rented a house in Beijing?"

Zhuo Lin generously admitted: "Yes, my brother rented it for me, and he could sell some snacks on weekends and earn some living expenses."

Zhou Tao and Xu Yang were both shocked: "Your family doesn't give you money? Isn't this possible?"

"I can't spend all my brother's money at home, but I've saved all the money for them. In the future, it's their wife's capital. I have hands and feet, and I can make money by myself, so why do I spend them? If I didn't give it to them and I'm anxious, I won't keep it for them. It's appropriate for me to make money by myself to spend it myself."

"So, are you delicious cooking?"

When Xu Yang asked this question in advance when Zhou Tao was about to open his mouth and asked, Zhuo Lin scratched his head awkwardly.

"Is that okay?"

"What else can I do when I go out to eat? Just make it for us to eat? By the way, I'll buy this dish today, how about it?"

Zhou Tao observed his expression and saw that Zhuo Lin did not object, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

"Hey, this one is good, this one is better than going to a state-owned restaurant."

Finally, I did not forget to add another sentence: "You are really different from the girls I know. Say you are so cute. There are so many brothers holding you and loving you, but you are not proud and have a lot of opinions. You know what you should do and what you shouldn't do. You have the courage to take a different approach and do your own business in one step. But it's much better than those of us who are looking for part-time jobs everywhere. No wonder Xu Yang," Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yang stepped on Zhou Tao hard, and he screamed in pain: "Ao...,"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just shook the subway, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, does it hurt? There is a seat there, I'll help you over and sit."

Xu Yang is taking care of a small flat head. Zhou Tao's hairstyle is a bit hard to describe. It's the kind of splitting and a bit traitorous. It's mainly too long. On the other hand, although Xu Yang is a little more neat, he feels like he just came out of prison, haha.

The spring and autumn clothes of this era are mainly blue-gray double-breasted as popular elements. In fact, they cannot be said to be popular. They can also be said to be in short supply. They are all worn by the family, until they are broken. Zhou Tao's clothes are modified from old work clothes that have been worn for many years. Although there are no holes, they can see the sense of the age that has been washed.

Xu Yang is much new in comparison. Maybe he is already a good dress in this era, but in Zhuo Lin's opinion, everyone can't escape the word "地", not only them, but also her.

ps: Beijing Metro was first built in 1965 and opened on October 1, 1969. What I wrote is already in the spring of 1971, so the subway exists.
