【Double Xun】Know what is like

The pickpocket and the strong man were two clueless people. The next day, half of the eighth team knew about it. They buried themselves in their meals in the cafeteria, chatting behind Xun You's back from time to time.Xun You only felt shortness of breath and chest tightness, and went back to the dormitory without eating a few mouthfuls.

Xun Yu followed behind him, holding four steamed buns and vegetables in his hands, and put them on their respective stools.

"Eat something, don't burn your body out."

Xun Yu sat beside him and opened the lid of the rice bowl for him. The vegetables were still mushy, and a warm fishy smell wafted out of the rice bowl.Xun Yu stirred the vegetables and laughed vaguely: "Do you want me to feed you?"

Xun You is not a stubborn person, he is not good at dancing, but he is very accommodating, if Xun You doesn't come to coax him, he will eat it after a long time.But for some reason, he didn't want to lose his temper with Xun Yu, so he took the spoon and rice bowl and ate it one bite at a time.

After the daily work was cancelled, the long days were hard to pass. The two of them washed the dishes and returned to the dormitory. Xun Yu took out a small harmonica from the box.The sun was very sunny that day, and they lifted the cloth curtain at the door to let the clear sky pour into the house.

Xun Yu gave Xun You a slow and lingering Soviet song. The notes of the harmonica do not have the smoothness of stringed instruments, but the melodious aftertaste.Xun You looked at Xun Yu leaning against the wooden door frame, the frizzy edges exuded the earthy aroma of wood, his slender and clean fingers were holding the harmonica, and the tenderness in his eyes was full of golden light.

The sound of the piano attracted many people, they gathered outside the dormitory, and some even sang the lyrics softly along with the melody.

Within three months of their arrival at the farm, they had only tasted the first hint of misery and thought it was an iceberg.Nothing to be afraid of, they all thought to themselves, their canteen could be the Winter Palace, and their wasteland could also be the Red Square.

After finishing the song, Xun Yu bowed his head to greet the crowd outside the dormitory. Xun You looked at his back from afar, and suddenly felt that decades of sunlight had been borne on his shoulders.

People's memories have their key points, one link after another, Xun You suddenly remembered the winter when he was 20 years old inexplicably.

There is a whole piece of continuous grass in Puda, and the sun is also golden. The brown and gray squirrels shake their warm and big tails, jump to the grass to dig their buried pine cones, their small black eyes turn vigilantly, looking Smarter than people.In the afternoon, he tried to solve Fermat's last theorem with a few classmates in the library. In the evening, he went to the church dinner in a suit and leather shoes. The bow tie was newly bought in New York, as well as cologne and new leather shoes.At that time, his past and future were continuous and stable, without singularities and faults, and he could always slide smoothly to the optimal solution.

But his eyes quickly retracted from the golden dizziness. There was a neat letter on the greasy bench. He took the letter and unfolded it, and read it carefully again.His wife did not defend him, but quickly separated the relationship, but she was not ruthless, at least she sent something to eat.

This is not incomprehensible. He has heard countless examples this year, not to mention they have two children.He folded the letter back into the envelope and put it in the drawer of the desk shared by the two of them. It is obviously irreversible at this point, unless he can get out of here immediately, but that is simply whimsical.

In the following night, he began to toss and hold on to himself, why, when they became husband and wife, they made promises to each other.Mutual understanding and mutual support, what a solemn vow, can it be erased so contemptuously?And his sons and daughters, who are still so young, will they miss their father?

Xun Yu quietly got out of bed to see him, sat beside his bed and whispered, "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

Xun You emerged from the quilt with tears streaming down his face.Xun Yu lit the kerosene lamp, leaned against the bed and listened to him tell the story of his love with his wife a long time ago, Xun You turned his back to him, clutching the corner of the quilt, he patted his back, coaxing him like a child .

Xun Yu was luckier than Xun You. He fell into the mud and tasted the sourness too early, so he seldom believed in helping each other or being as firm as iron.He is used to the saying that people's hearts are not as good as water, and waves rise on the flat ground.

After the beginning of winter, almost all the farms in the northwestern frontier were paralyzed. A car near the commune fell from the ice into the field, and several surrounding farms sent people to repair it. Captain Zhao had to arrest Xun You and the strong man and send them out together.

It is very cheap to go out to repair cars for other farms or communes, because as guests, they can eat a meal that is much better than usual.Xun You could tell that Captain Zhao was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. He was a top student in mechanical engineering, and the other party asked him to come over by name.These days, Xun You and the strong man repairing cars and equipment have become good partners.

The guest meal that day included canned luncheon meat, stir-fried green vegetables, and white rice with an aroma they hadn't heard for many years.The two devoured it hungrily, and even grabbed a few sweet potatoes.Xun You put the sweet potato on his chest and covered it, he wanted to go back quickly and let Xun Yu eat the sweet potato before going to sleep.Recently, the number of daily orders on farms has been decreasing. Pickpockets are worthy of the name of pickpockets, and they have even begun to plan to steal things.

It was half dark when Xun You and the strong man returned. There was a straight sandy road from the farm gate to the dormitory.There were two people standing under the streetlight near the cafeteria. Xun You took a closer look and found that it was Captain Zhao and Xun Yu. They were standing very close to each other, whispering to each other without knowing what they were talking about.

The strong man dragged Xun You down a small path, and ran to the other side of the cafeteria to eavesdrop, which was closer to them.

The wind was blowing, and by the way, it also brought the whispers of the two of them.Captain Zhao's voice was full of helplessness: "It's no use begging me. I'm very nervous now. I'll go out and look for you when spring comes, okay?"

"Captain Zhao, I shouldn't have begged you for this matter. My parents gave you all the money you asked for, and they promised it at the beginning. Now that the medicine is gone, what should I do these few months?"

"Wen Ruo, do you suspect that I am deliberately making it difficult for you? I am not such a person! How much medicine do you have left? I will calculate the time and go out for you at the very least."

Xun You and the strong man folded their bodies and listened to each other. They both felt that this passage was really inexplicable. The only thing that was certain was that Xun Yu was ill, and it was a serious illness that urgently needed medical treatment. Otherwise, with his nature, he would never be alone. Had a private talk with Captain Zhao late at night.

Everyone agrees that going to bed early can resist hunger and cold without enough food every day, but Xun Yu often waits for him to come back before going to bed, and Xun You also wants to ask him a good question.

After entering the dormitory, Xun You took out a sweet potato from his arms and shook it under his nose: "Eat it quickly, I covered it all the way, it's still warm."

Xun Yu was sitting under the quilt reading a book, and when he saw something to eat, he put down the book, took the sweet potato with a smile and started to eat: "Have you eaten? What did you eat?"

"After eating the canned food, hey, their oil and water are really good, and the green vegetables are fried green and oily. If there is a next time, I will bring you all the plates."

They often say that if, if they can go out together one day, they will go to the nearby town of Shahu to buy ten sesame seed cakes, and then take the train to the city to watch a movie; exchange all the food stamps for rice, and hide at home Boil white rice, and then buy three catties of pork braised in soy sauce to eat with rice.

When you are with gentle people, you can do everything with the joy of peace and stability in this world.They need these instant and short-sighted happiness, without thinking about how to spend a person's life, and without exploring how to dedicate themselves to the wheel of history, they live very comfortably, live for three years, live for five years, as for the whole life, They are not qualified to count.

Therefore, Xun You's words were a great comfort to Xun Yu. He knew that he would not come, but he was still willing to think about it.He gently covered his mouth with his fingertips and laughed, asked him what he did today, got out of bed and poured hot water for him, and urged him to go to bed early.

Xun You suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have something to ask you."

"what?"

"I saw you and Captain Zhao talking outside just now," Xun You said without any concealment, as they always said, "I and the strong man also heard it, you asked him for medicine, are you sick?"

The panic in Xun You's heart was far more intense than what he expressed.

In a tightly closed environment, the boundaries between people gradually disappear without a trace, and it is easy to produce extreme love or extreme hatred. This is the reason Xun You suddenly awakened to when he watched those angry soldiers a few years later.At that time, Xun You watched them push and curse vigorously, and often thought in his heart, where did such sharp hatred come from when they were still so young?Sometimes he would take advantage of the situation and think of the time when he had just had feelings for Xun Yu, that is, at the time when his wife divorced him, his dependence and closeness to Xun Yu was gradually going to an unspeakable barren land.

All in all, Xun You was almost devastated, and he shook Xun Yu's shoulders vigorously, trying to get the answer out of his mouth.

"What's wrong with you? What medicine do you need? How did I never know you were sick?"

"Speak, what medicine do you need? Did Captain Zhao make things difficult for you? Tell me, I'll write a letter and ask my parents to find it for you?"

Xun Yu bowed his head and said nothing, he waited for Xun You to calm down, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing serious, really, am I fine?"

He didn't intend to tell Xun You anything. First, he still had the medicine. If Captain Zhao really found a new medicine for him, it would embarrass the two of them by telling him about the hidden disease.If the day comes when there is really no medicine, he really doesn't need to say anything.
