No matter how many plans they had in mind, it was all in vain until the news of the confirmed establishment of the test site came down.
Of course, some people sit in this kind of dream, but some people see it clearly. After the last teacher incident, Song Yan and the others have completely seen the above intention. As long as they are educated young people, they will be able to see it clearly. If they fail to play their due role, they are like worthless food that is tasteless and is a pity to throw away.
Song Yan was confused for the first time. What was the meaning of this group of people going to the mountains and countryside? Where is the way forward? He couldn't see clearly.
"What's wrong? You look unhappy?"
Song Yan was startled by the voice behind her, and then suddenly came to her senses. When she turned around, she saw it was Su Qingyun, holding a small bamboo basket in her hand.
"Nothing? Where are you going?" Song Yan asked with a smile.
"I'm going to find Xia Qiu, and we'll go up the mountain to pick mushrooms together." Su Qingyun stared at him, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Due to their previous contacts, she had a pretty good relationship with Song Yan. She just saw him standing in the field with a lonely expression on his face, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
Song Yan moved his lips, not wanting to say anything, but after meeting Su Qingyun's eyes, he felt an inexplicable desire to talk. He thought for a while and said: "Qingyun, where do you think the future of our generation is? "
His tone was melancholy and low, with a hint of confusion.
Su Qingyun was surprised, then laughed, "Why are you thinking about such a serious issue already?"
She looked around, and didn't care whether it was clean or not, she just sat down on the ridge of the field. She had plowed the ground two days ago, and she had to let the land wake up again today, so she could start sowing seeds later.
"Come, sit down." Su Qingyun greeted him.
Song Yan pursed her lips and Yiyan sat next to her. The coolness of the early spring morning also brought with it the fresh smell in the air, the fragrance of flowers, the smell of rising buds, and the special smell after the soil has been turned over. The breath is the breath that belongs exclusively to this world.
Su Qingyun looked into the distance and asked softly: "Song Yan, when you ask this question, do you think our generation is living in a bad era?"
Song Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "The book says that bad luck leads to misfortunes. I think this may be the fate of our generation, right?"
The development of society, the changes in the system, and the fate of the little people affected by the big country are really insignificant. They are unable to resist all these storms and have to bear them.
Su Qingyun heard the bitterness in his tone and sighed, "Under the torrent of the times, there is really little we ordinary people can do. The book says that bad luck and misfortunes lead to misfortunes, but it also says that old age will make you stronger, and it is better to move away and grow old. Heart? We must be poor but strong-willed, and we must not fall into the clouds. If we cannot change the world, then we must not let the world change us."
"If only it were that easy to do." Song Yan's sigh did not come from his throat, but as if it came from the depths of the soul of this body.
Su Qingyun thought for a while and continued: "I know an uncle who came to our small place from the capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that he fell from the clouds into the mud. I once asked him if he had any resentment in his heart? You Do you know how he answered me?"
Song Yan looked at her doubtfully, "How to answer?"
"He said it." Su Qingyun's eyes drifted away, looking at the green mountains in the distance. Every word of Ji Yue's father clearly appeared in her mind.
"He said, 'I will not have any resentment in my heart, because I know that everything I have experienced is not the fault of any one person, but a deviation in our country's exploration of the future. It will eventually get back on track. How can I have any complaints if I come up above?'"
Song Yan was stunned.
"He also said, 'Decades ago, our ancestors took countless detours and wrong paths before they found the right path to save the country. Now, it is just a bumpy road that must be passed through in the torrent of history.'"
"He also said, I believe that after the storm there will be a rainbow, and after the darkness there will be dawn. All we need to do is wait."
Su Qingyun repeated word for word what Ji's father had said to her that day, with a solemn and serious tone. The person who was shocked at first was now Song Yan.
Song Yan didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. It felt like a blocked river bank was suddenly opened, or like walking on a dark road and suddenly seeing the dawn after the clouds cleared.
His heart suddenly relaxed and he felt much more at ease. He couldn't help but smile, "The uncle you mentioned is a man who truly cares about this country. I may not have his profound sense of justice, but I sincerely admire him." .”
Su Qingyun smiled, "It has nothing to do with understanding the righteousness. He just sees the world clearly. No matter where he goes or what he experiences, he never forgets his original intention. This is the best thing."
Song Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You're right."
"We really shouldn't sink. Even if we don't know where the road will be tomorrow, we should go on boldly." He smiled with relief.
Seeing that he had finally thought it through, Su Qingyun also smiled. Smiling, she suddenly said, "Who said you don't know where the road ahead is?"
"Huh?" Song Yan looked at her confused, what do you mean?
Su Qingyun counted the days, "Just wait and see, just like this land, autumn is a good season, the harvest season."
"There will be good news next autumn." After Su Qingyun finished speaking, he stood up from the field and said to Song Yan, who was still confused, "I'll leave first, Xia Qiu is still waiting for me."
"good."
Su Qingyun turned and left, leaving Song Yan alone sitting on the field ridge thinking about the meaning of Su Qingyun's words.
Next fall, there will be good news.
Su Qingyun turned her back to him with a smile on her face. The resumption of the college entrance examination next fall is the best news and the best harvest of autumn.
Su Qingyun arrived at Xia Qiu's house all the way. Xia Qiu had been waiting for her for a long time. When he saw her, he pouted and complained: "Why did you come here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I met Song Yan on the way and chatted with him for a few words."
"Song Yan?" Xia Qiu looked confused, "What are you talking about with him?"
"Nothing, just a few words." Su Qingyun did not elaborate. After all, it is such a heavy and sensitive topic, so it is better to say less.
"Okay." Although she was a little confused, Xia Qiu still knew enough not to ask any more questions. She picked up the backpack on the side and said, "Let's go."
Su Qingyun's eyes widened, "As for getting a backpack?" This is the rhythm of picking up all the mushrooms on the mountain.
"Bring a big one to be prepared, in case we encounter something good on the mountain." Xia Qiu said excitedly, "Let's go quickly, the sun is about to come out."
"Okay, okay, don't pull me." Su Qingyun said helplessly.
The two of them walked up the mountain talking and laughing. Xia Qiu's family was very strict and she had almost never gone up the mountain. This time it was only allowed because she said she wanted to stay with Su Qingyun. She didn't understand why her family seemed to be in a hurry. Hearing Su Qingyun's name made him feel relieved, which was strange.
The two quickly reached the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there were aunts and ladies from the village digging wild vegetables.
Although the most difficult times have passed, people who are not rich still like to dig out wild vegetables and eat them. Most of the wild vegetables have their bitter roots removed, blanched in water, and served cold with some salt, chili, and soy sauce. They have a different flavor and can be regarded as a table A dish was served.
"It rained two days ago, so there must be a lot of fungi on this mountain."
"Go slowly, don't fall." Su Qingyun shouted.
Xia Qiu turned around and waved to her, "It's okay, let's hurry up. Maybe those aunts have already gone up the mountain to pick up a lot of fun, but they won't be there when we go up."
"Okay, okay." Su Qingyun could only speed up his pace.
The two of them continued to go up, and they really found a lot of fungi, hidden in the grass and on wooden piles. They were white and fat, and they were pleasant to look at.
Xia Qiu's eyes were astonishingly bright when she looked at these fungi. She ran trotted, and with quick hands, she uprooted all the fungi and put them in her backpack.
"Qingyun, pick it up quickly." Xia Qiu greeted her.
"I'm picking it up, I'm picking it up." Su Qingyun said as he slowly put a mushroom into his small basket.
The fungi that appear after rain are basically chicken fungus. This kind of fungus is called the crown of bacteria. Chicken fungus has thick and plump flesh, fine white texture, sweet and crisp taste, and is rich in many nutrients needed by the human body. Nutrients are a rare good thing in this remote rural area.
There are many ways to eat chicken fungus. It can be fried and eaten alone, or it can be paired with various meats, vegetables, and seafood. Whether it is stir-fried, fried, mixed, braised, stewed, etc., the taste is very fresh.
Xia Qiu was right. Not only did they think that there would be fungi after the rain, but others also thought that there were many people on the mountain, but they were still in the middle and lower parts of the mountain.
Xia Qiu thought for a while and said to Su Qingyun, "How about we go a little higher?"
Su Qingyun thought for a while and said, "Okay."
It's not dangerous to go up further. The mountains here are not deep and there are no large beasts. At most, there are some venomous snakes, insects and ants, and she is not afraid of these.
"Let's go." Xia Qiu looked at her backpack, which already had two shallow layers. Looking at Su Qingyun's small basket, she rolled her eyes, "Why did you pick up so little?"
"Aren't you moving too fast?" Su Qingyun smiled.
"That's true. I'll pick up some more and share some with you later." Xia Qiu raised her chin and said proudly.
The two of them walked towards the better parts of the mountain. When they arrived at these places, there were no more people, the trees were taller and the grass grew more prosperous.
At this point, there was almost no way to go. Su Qingyun picked up a wooden stick, set aside the thigh-deep weeds, and told Xia Qiu: "Be careful, there might be a snake or something."
No girl is not afraid of such cold-blooded animals. Xia Qiu shrank her neck and followed Su Qingyun closely.
But then her eyes lit up and she shouted happily: "Qingyun, look there! There are so many fungi!"
Su Qingyun looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed, there were clusters of fat, white fungi growing beside the trees, unnoticed, waiting for them to pick them.
