Chapter 37: A Different Encounter
Zhong Yuemin left as a soldier after staying in Shichuan Village of Tucheng Commune for a short time. Li Kuiyong stayed in Baidian Village until 1974 before entering the city as a worker. Shen Long’s goal is the college entrance examination. He does not plan to recruit workers. I have to stay in Baidian Village until 1977 before going back. If I don't find something to do for such a long time, it will be wasted.
Before crossing, he did a lot of research on the situation in Jingbian County, and stayed in Jingbian for a few days in person. He also talked to several experts about the future changes in Jingbian County, and sorted out several ways to change the current situation of the village. It's just that I'm new here, firstly, I'm not familiar with the situation in the village, and secondly, I haven't fully won the support of the villagers, so many big actions can't be carried out, so I start with the simplest ones first; after these have seen results, I will talk about those big plans in the future. support him.
Emphasis on education is engraved in the bones of Chinese people, and Bai Mingchuan was moved when he heard it.
"I'm doing better, I still have some strength, and I can help the village with work, but the few female educated youths are different. They don't need so many people to do laundry and cooking. It's better to let them teach. "Shen Long added that he knew that Bai Mingchuan would not want to let go of a strong laborer like him who could earn work points, so he handed over the school to those girls.
"Well, in fact, what we are most worried about is the teacher. Since you are willing to help, I will find a way to repair the cave." Bai Mingchuan agreed.
Shen Long took the lead, and the village sent a few more people to repair the cave dwelling in a short time. Although there were still some gaps, at least there was no need to worry about it collapsing; the seven girls were also divided into two groups to take turns teaching the children. Cooking with a fire is a lot better, and these girls are very grateful to Shen Long.
There are classrooms, and some teaching aids are needed, which are not available in these villages, and they need to be bought in the city. Bai Mingchuan doesn't know what to buy, so the responsibility naturally falls on Shen Long.
"It's hard to go to the city. Do you want to buy something? I'll bring it for you. Oh, by the way, the girl also arranges a representative to go with me. I'm afraid I can't bring so many things by myself." Some things are inconvenient for girls to buy for boys, Shen Long made an excuse and said.
Finally, it was Qin Ling who went to the county with him. Qin Ling watched him secretly from behind Shen Long. She naturally understood why Shen Long called a girl. Shen Long's carefulness surprised her again. How much is this man hiding something?
The two of them set off early in the morning, and happened to meet a tractor heading into the city on the road. After saying a few good words, Shen Long took a free ride, and it was not until noon when they finished their work in the city.
The two went to the Educated Youth Office together to find Ma Guiping. Sure enough, Zhong Yuemin was assigned to Shichuan Village, Tucheng Commune. After thanking Ma Guiping for coming out of the Educated Youth Office, Shen Long asked, "I want to go to Shichuan Village to see my friends. Do you think you are here?" Go around the county again, or should I find someone to take you back?"
"Go with you.
"Qin Ling grew up in the city of Xi'an. In her eyes, there is nothing to visit in the county town. On the contrary, she is more interested in Shen Long, so she is naturally happy to be alone with him for a while.
"I'm going to Shichuan Village for dozens of miles, and I may have to spend the night there." Shen Long reminded, Qin Ling didn't care, the two found an acquaintance on the street who came to work in the commune, and asked him to go back and tell the village , After eating something, I rushed to Ishikawa Village.
Along the way, the Loess Plateau has been eroded by running water for a long time, gradually forming a special natural landscape with thousands of ravines and fragmented terrain. Sparse villages are scattered on slightly flat places, and there are not many people in sight after walking for a long time.
After walking for a long time, it was unavoidably boring. Shen Long and Qin Ling struck up a conversation, "I seem to hear you singing this morning. What song are you singing? It's very nice."
Qin Ling didn't speak, and sang directly, "I've prepared money and food for you, I've brought you spiritual animals, I've opened the squeaky back door for you, I've lit the stars for you, I'll let you kiss Put your mouth up, I want you to smile and shed tears... don't feel ashamed or shy, call brother, you take me away..."
When the crisp voice came, Shen Long was gradually shocked. This voice is definitely professional and very contagious; in addition, since he came to this world, Shen Long often heard revolutionary songs. This kind of folk song praising love is completely attracted by the singing without knowing it.
It wasn't until Qin Ling finished singing that he praised, "There is a saying in the ancients that it can be heard endlessly for three days. I don't know what it means today! You sing professionally, who did you learn from?"
I don't know why, Qin Ling was very happy when he heard Shen Long's praise, "I learned from my mother. She is an actress of the folk song and dance troupe and specializes in singing folk songs in northern Shaanxi. I have been able to hear them since I was a child."
"After listening to your song, I can't thank you enough. I'll sing you one too!" Shen Long used to like to howl in ktv, but after listening to Qin Ling's song, he became addicted. He cleared his throat and sang aloud. up,
"My family lives on the high slope of the loess, and the strong wind blows across the slope.
Whether it is the northwest wind or the southeast wind, it is my song, my song.
My family lives on a high slope of loess, the sun walks over the slope,
Sunning my arms according to my cave, and my cows following me.
No matter how many years have passed, my ancestors left me behind,
Leaving me singing songs as far as the eye can see, and the Yellow River beside me.
My family lives on the high slope of the loess, and the four seasons wind blows through the slope,
Whether it is eight hundred years or ten thousand years, it is my song. "
Different from Qin Ling's soft song "Brother Calling, You Take Me Away", this "Loess High Pole" is rough and full of passion. Shen Long's broken voice not only does not weaken the charm of the song, but is just like the song before his eyes. The Loess Plateau is ordinary, with thousands of ravines but bold and magnificent.
"Hahahaha, you are a native of the capital, when did Huangtu Gaopo become your home!" Qin Ling laughed, his voice was as crisp as a lark.
After laughing, Qin Ling frowned and began to think seriously, "This song is not like an ordinary northern Shaanxi folk song, but has some shadows of modern music, and I have never heard it before. Where did you hear it?"
"Loess High Slope" was written by the famous lyricist Chen Zhe when he was collecting folk songs in the northern Shanxi countryside in 1987, and the music was composed by the composer Su Yue. Su Yue's wife played Qingwen in the 87 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Zhang Jinglin sang it for the first time, and in the future Fan Linlin, Tian Zhen, Hang Tianqi and other unrestrained female singers became famous or won awards with this song.
"You are indeed the first listener to hear this song." Shen Long said with a smile, Qin Ling asked him again but refused to say more.
Arriving at Shichuan Village, Zhong Yuemin was successfully found. Zhong Yuemin was naturally happy when his old friend came to visit, especially because he brought such a beautiful girl with him. However, what made Zhong Yuemin depressed was that Qin Ling didn't seem to be interested in him.
Shen Long was also dumbfounded, what's the matter? These two are out of play?
