Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh when he heard what she said.
Human circumstances are truly unpredictable.
In the original work, Xiaoping was sent to a field hospital, where she met a platoon leader and got engaged to him. However, the platoon leader accidentally died after going to the battlefield, leaving Xiaoping helpless for a time.
Unexpectedly, this time, Lin Dingding would be involved in this matter.
In fact, if the regiment leader did not die, he would have to be promoted at least one level to the deputy division level after completing the battlefield. Even if he catches up with the disarmament in 1985 and returns to the local area professionally, he can still serve as a county-level leader and can be regarded as a high-ranking official.
Lin Dingding can actually enjoy happiness if she marries him.
But he sacrificed his life, which made Lin Dingding's life difficult.
When she changed jobs and returned to her hometown, she happened to catch up with the educated youth returning to the city. A large number of unemployed people have returned to the city, causing a shortage of jobs. As a result, it is really difficult to find a job. She had a child with her, which made matters worse.
Although I got married in the end, having more children was a bit inconvenient. Just like Xiaoping, I don’t know how much anger I suffered back then.
…
"There are also Wang Huaibo, Lu Yining, Tan Zao, Qiu Peining..." Hao Shuwen then told the experiences of these people again, and it was obvious that she had become a qualified eighth wife.
Through her retelling, Xiang Nan also learned about the dynamics of those in the group.
After the political commissar arrived in the military region, he was forced to change his job and return to the local area in time for the one-million-million-member army reduction in 1985. I served as the deputy director of an agricultural machinery factory in the city. I had contacted Hao Shuwen a few years ago, hoping to buy a set of processing equipment that had been eliminated by the ordnance factory.
However, in the past two years, the private economy has risen and state-owned enterprises have gradually fallen behind. The political commissar's agricultural machinery factory may not be able to withstand the torrent of the market.
Tan Zao and Qiu Peining got married in 1977, and now their children are all grown up. The two of them have become full-fledged housewives, and now they are living a very comfortable life.
Wang Huaibo and Lu Yining were admitted to college and assigned jobs after graduation. They are now doing well in their respective jobs. Wang Huaibo has even become the backbone of state-owned enterprises.
Chen Can also changed his career after the 1985 disarmament and now works as the deputy director of the city library. The disfigurement he suffered in 1975 was a huge blow to him, and he now dares not see anyone.
Zhu Ke was released from prison in 1979 and returned to his hometown. His family was also powerful, so he was assigned to work in a factory. Because he had been in prison before and he didn't learn well in prison. After he came out, he had fun and had several girlfriends. As a result, he was later exposed and sentenced to another ten years for hooliganism. He was just released this year after serving his sentence.
…
After hearing this, Xiang Nan sighed for a while, then smiled and said, "Hao Shuwen, you know so much. We are also in Yanjing, why haven't we heard of these things?"
"You are all busy people, how can you be so free like me?" Hao Shuwen said with a smile, "Besides, these are not secrets. As long as you pay attention to inquire, you can always find out. In the past few years, I have relied on this gossip to live my life. "
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded when he heard what she said.
To be honest, because he didn't like most of the members of the art troupe, he almost cut off all contact with them after the art troupe was disbanded.
The only exception is Xiao Suizi. And Xiao Suizi is not a person who likes gossip, so naturally he doesn't know these things.
"Okay, let's get together as old comrades from the art troupe when we have a chance." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for many years, and I miss you all."
The so-called forgiveness is the privilege of the strong. He and Xiaoping are now considered successful people. It's time to forgive these people and say goodbye to the past forever.
"Okay, I'll organize it and call you when the time comes." Hao Shuwen agreed.
"Yes. By the way, Hao Shuwen, ask your husband to stop as soon as possible. He will quit in the first half of the year at the latest." Xiang Nan nodded and reminded, "The current property and land prices in Hainan are too outrageous. We can't be profitable for long. , there may be a plunge in the second half of the year.”
"Okay, I'll tell him what you said." Hao Shuwen nodded.
She knew that Xiang Nan was not a talker. If he dared to say that, he must have a reason.
…
Xiang Nan accompanied Xiaoping and Liu Hao to play in Hainan for a month, and then returned to Yanjing.
Following him, he received a call from Hao Shuwen. She had already contacted more than a dozen comrades in Yanjing, and she could organize a gathering at any time as long as Xiang Nan had time.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he responded immediately, and then held a banquet in Quanjude to entertain these comrades from the art troupe.
"I haven't seen them in more than ten years, and I really miss them." Xiaoping said with a smile.
Although she was bullied a little in the art troupe back then, she always had more happy things. What's more, so many years have passed, and now she is happily married, has a happy family, and has a successful career. Some of the unpleasantness she had back then has long been forgotten, and the rest are basically good memories.
In fact, her time in the art troupe was the first time she tasted sweetness after ten years of hard life. So she was extremely impressed by that time.
So it is really a happy thing for her to reunite with everyone and reminisce about those years.
…
One day in May, comrades from the art troupe gathered together again.
"Hey, Captain, you are still so handsome, you haven't changed at all."
"Xiao Ping, you are still so beautiful. Oh, you take good care of yourself!"
"Captain, I heard that you have made a fortune now. You have made millions just by writing."
As soon as everyone saw Xiang Nan and Xiaoping, they all gathered around and shouted.
Xiang Nan and Xiaoping are both successful people in their careers now. Xiang Nan attends the Spring Festival Gala every year, writes, and makes movies. He is both a big star and a great writer, and he must have made a lot of money.
Xiaoping is now also a great writer. She has written "Snail's Home", "After Lights Out", "Building Fourteen", "High Wall", etc., all of which are original works of hers and are based on her unfortunate childhood memories. .
Although it has received mixed reviews since its release, she is still number one in the literary world. She can be considered a good female writer.
Compared to them, most other people are just ordinary people. Maybe there is an official position, but it is far behind compared to Xiang Nan and Xiaoping. That's why they are so enthusiastic.
"Haha, Huai Bo, long time no see! Tan Zao, you are still so beautiful!" Xiang Nan also smiled and greeted everyone, quite like returning home in fine clothes.
At this moment, he saw a middle-aged woman who looked vaguely like Lin Dingding. But he was nearly twice as fat as Lin Dingding, with a broad face and a thick belly. He stood there as if a gas tank had become sperm.
"You...are you Lin Dingding?" Xiang Nan guessed in surprise, unable to believe his eyes.
Lin Dingding nodded nonchalantly, as if he had long been used to this situation.
