Counterattack in the chronology

When Gu Lichun heard this, he staggered and almost fell off the field stalk, Deng Chang stretched out his hand to support him.

Gu Lichun and Deng Chang looked at each other for a moment, and then looked away quickly.His mind was instantly sober as if it had been poured with ice water.He didn't speak, just walked forward quickly.

Deng Chang stayed where he was, with two burning eyes staring at his back.

After Gu Lichun walked a long way, Deng Chang took great strides to catch up with him.

The setting sun had already set, and the lavender twilight shrouded the earth. A flock of birds flapped their wings and flew towards the distant woods. There was silence all around.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Lichun finally spoke: "Deng Zhang, what is the reason why you have been single until now?"

"I didn't find a suitable one."

Gu Lichun was persuasive: "Then do you know what kind of person you are? Do you know what you want? In order to get what you want, what are you willing to give up?"

Deng Zhang didn't speak, he didn't think about these issues, he always felt that these were not problems.

Gu Lichun's voice was calm and gentle, and he said slowly: "To be honest, I have thought about these issues deeply.

I am essentially a selfish person. If there is one thing in the world that I would risk my life to pursue, it is freedom.Freedom in every sense, economically, ideologically and in life.I hate any relationship with a controlling, possessive element.When I was growing up, I also had epiphanies several times, such as 'Every identity of a person is self-abduction, and only loss is the way to freedom', 'Others are hell'.After the previous epiphany, it made me feel that it would be okay if I lost my unhealthy relationship, it would make me more free. "

Deng Chang asked suspiciously: "You get along well with your family members. The unhealthy family relationship you mentioned refers to your adoptive father?"

Gu Lichun suddenly realized that he confused his past life with this life, and alcohol affected his expression.

Gu Lichun had no choice but to push the boat along: "It's him."

Before getting to the point, Gu Lichun continued to expand: "After solving the problems of family affection, it's the turn of love.

I think love will stimulate people's desire to possess and control. We can't help but want the other person to be completely our own. We get close to the other person because of his advantages and brilliance, but we have to live with his shortcomings and dark sides.

We always try to change each other to adapt to ourselves. When two people get along day and night, it is inevitable that there will be games, hurts, conflicts and resentment.It may be very fresh at the beginning, but everything will inevitably fall into clichés and mediocrity, and the initial passion and surprise will eventually be wiped out by trivial reality.Really nothing interesting. "

Compared with love, friendship is more touching, precious and more sense of proportion.It will not arrogantly want to occupy the entire space of the other party. Two friends can understand each other and advance and retreat together. They can blend with each other and be independent of each other. "

Deng Chang carefully interpreted every word Gu Lichun said. He had never heard of some words, but he could understand the literal meaning and vaguely understand the meaning behind the words. listen up.

Gu Lichun took a deep breath and paused for a moment. Seeing no response from the other party, he had no choice but to continue: "Deng Chang, I hope we can continue to be friends. We have fought side by side, and we will serve the country in our respective fields. Continue to struggle with the society. . . . I have finished my words."

Gu Lichun didn't know what to say next, and he didn't know how to face Deng Chang, so he could only leave first, but fortunately Deng Chang didn't catch up this time.

When Gu Lichun returned home, it was already dark, and the banquet had already ended.Zhao Zhijun is leading the children to clean the road and clean up the tables, chairs and benches.

Gu Lichun calmed down and walked over to help.

Zhao Zhijun asked, "It took you so long to send someone off? Don't send Lao Deng to someone else's home."

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "I didn't send it to someone else's house, but sent it to the field. He said he wanted to take a walk."

Zhao Zhijun muttered: "This old Deng, the way he plays drunk is different from others."

Gu Lichun smiled and didn't answer, and went to carry the table back to the courtyard with Lidong and Lixia.

Li Xia said: "Brother, just now Chen Yu was looking for you everywhere, and I said you were sending someone away, so he went to pick you up."

Gu Lichun hummed, Chen Yu has been helping Meng Nianqun in the kitchen today.

After cleaning, Gu Lichun felt physically and mentally exhausted. The second grandmother looked at him and said distressedly: "Lichun, you should go back to your room and rest."

Gu Lichun looked at his little sister again, the little guy was already fast asleep.

He went back to the room and lay on the bed, his body was tired, but the thoughts in his mind couldn't stop, he thought wildly for a while before falling asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, he and Zhao Zhijun rode to work together. On the way, Zhao Zhijun said, "I feel that Chen Yu is a bit strange."

Gu Lichun hurriedly asked him what happened?

Zhao Zhijun said: "Mingbao was crying in the middle of the night. I got up to take care of him, but I found someone wandering in front of our house. I thought it was a thief. I took a photo with a flashlight and found it was Chen Yu. As soon as I took a photo, he ran away. I remember The kid didn't drink yesterday."

Gu Lichun said: "He must have drunk it, they drank it secretly in the kitchen."

Zhao Zhijun said "oh", shook his head and sighed, "These people look so drunk and crazy."

When the two arrived at the office, Meng Nianqun delivered breakfast as usual, Gu Lichun sent one to Chen Jie, Zhao Zhijun and Zhao Gao each took one, there were two more in the basket, Gu Lichun ate his own, The rest was put on the table. Recently, Deng Chang also followed him for a meal. This was originally his.

Deng Zhang still didn't come to work until nine o'clock, which was unprecedented.Gu Lichun felt a little uneasy, he was so drunk yesterday, could it be that he slept in the field and didn't come home?He remembered the phone number at Deng Chang's home, and was hesitating whether to call it, when the phone rang in the office.

Gu Lichun picked up the phone and said "Hello", only to hear a hoarse voice on the phone: "Hello, do you recognize my voice? I'm Deng Wei."

Gu Lichun's voice was as calm as usual: "I can hear it. Deng Chang, are you okay?"

Deng Chang paused for a moment, then replied, "I'm sober, I'm fine."

Gu Lichun said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "It's better to drink less alcohol in the future. Alcohol can damage the brain. I'm so smart because I quit smoking and drinking."

Deng Chang laughed lightly and said, "I want to trick people into quitting smoking and drinking again. You are smart because you are smart."

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "Thank you, old leader, for your compliment."

There was a hint of disappointment in Deng Chang's voice: "Compared to you, I am really a bit old."

Gu Lichun quickly said: "No, no, you are in the prime of life, in the prime of life, and it is time to show your ambitions."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. Gu Lichun waited for a while, but did not hear the sound. He thought the other party had hung up, and then checked again: "Deng Zhang, are you still listening?"

Deng Chang finally spoke again: "I'm sober now, and you sound sober too. Is your answer to the question I asked last night the same as yesterday?"

Gu Lichun's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken. He took a deep breath and slowly replied: "My answer is still the same as yesterday. Deng Chang, I don't want our relationship to fall into a cliché. You are my old leader and know me well. Grace, this answer is actually my repayment to you."

"Is this my reward?"

Gu Lichun said firmly: "Yes, it is repayment. I am merciful and let you go. Deng Chang, you are capable and courageous. Your future is not limited to this. You must continue to forge ahead bravely and don't give up the world to others." Those disgusting people, they don't deserve it."

Deng Zhang was silent for about 3 minutes, and said in a harsh voice: "I only ask this question once, and since you have given a definite answer, I can only accept it. Don't worry, I am not a sloppy person, and I will never get entangled in the future. They are friends and comrades-in-arms the same as before. When you need my help in the future, just come to me, anytime."

Gu Lichun was moved and said: "Okay, I will remember."

At the end, Deng Chang said: "You will have full authority over the work in the field. I have to go out to study and visit relatives. It may take a long time."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Lichun looked at the empty place opposite, feeling empty in his heart, with a hint of sadness and regret, but at the same time, he felt that it should be like this.

Deng Chang didn't go back to the office. He went through the formalities directly, sent the work plan to the offices of various departments, and left Honghe Farm quickly to study at a state-owned farm in the south.

Sister Bai said that Deng Chang has rarely taken vacations in the past few years. He has accumulated more than 40 days of vacations.

After Deng Chang left, everything remained the same as before. Gu Lichun went to and from work step by step every day, making plans and arranging work.Deng Chang was not there, and if he had any doubts, he would discuss it with Secretary Zhu, and if he was still unsure, he would go to the director of Tan Tan to discuss and report. Everything in the five games was running in an orderly manner.

This morning, Meng Nianqun didn't come to deliver breakfast, and Chen Yu came instead.

With two panda eyes, Chen Yu looked sluggish.

Gu Lichun asked casually: "Why do you look like this? Are you counting the stars with Meng Nianqun again?"

Chen Yu lowered his head to cover up: "No, there are too many mosquitoes, and they are too biting to sleep."

Chen Yu was talking, carefully observed Gu Lichun's face, and tentatively asked: "Is your leader okay? On the day of the Hundred Days Banquet, I went to find you and met him on the way, and found that his expression was not right."

Gu Lichun said nonchalantly: "He just drank too much that day, it's fine."

Chen Yu asked: "Why did he go out to study so early this year? I heard that he took a long vacation?"

Gu Lichun looked at Chen Yu steadfastly, and said sternly, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. If you have nothing to do, raise pigs well and read more books."

Chen Yu smiled wryly and replied: "You are right, I have no position to ask these questions. I will raise pigs and read more books in the future."

Two days later, Gu Lichun received replies from He Wenyong and Ye Beilin respectively, and he was very satisfied with their feedback.Ye Beilin promptly reported the foreign inspection team to the major farms and relevant units, which aroused the attention and vigilance of the relevant departments.

He Wenyong even said that he not only reported the matter, but also mobilized his classmates to keep an eye on those people. If he found the wild soybean plant that Gu Lichun mentioned, he would dig it up and hand it over to the agricultural department.

At the same time, Gu Lichun also received a letter from his father, saying that his second cousin had already taken him home.The matter of the second aunt has to wait, but what is pleasantly surprised is that the matter of the uncle has made progress. Someone secretly helped them. Meng Ancheng asked Gu Lichun if he knew who this person was?

Gu Lichun discussed with Meng Nianqun and decided to tell his father the truth of the matter so that he could have a clear idea.This matter was written by Meng Nianqun himself.

Two weeks later, Meng Nianqun received two replies, and Meng Ancheng's letter was still the same as usual.The letter from the second cousin Meng Shuqun was short and interesting: "...Third brother, I am surprised to hear that you have found someone on the farm. I am deeply impressed by the second brother. It is true that people cannot be judged by appearances, and sea water cannot be measured."

Meng Nianqun raised the letter in his hand and said, "Why do I feel that my second brother is jealous of me?"

Gu Lichun said mischievously: "Sure, he is jealous that you have a partner; it's okay, when he sees me, he will be even more jealous of me, because I am more handsome than him and smarter than him."

Meng Nianqun couldn't help laughing.

Not long after receiving the letter, Gu Lichun received two bundles, one was books, the other was clothes, the books were sent by his father, and the clothes were made by his mother.

The fabric of these clothes is not very good, but the style is novel and beautiful. Gu Lichun led the fashion trend of the farm as soon as he wore them.

Meng Nianqun also received a few pieces of clothes, but he always felt that the ones on Gu Lichun looked better. Now that he has thickened his skin, he would wear them from time to time. Every time he met Chen Jie on a date, he would borrow Gu Lichun's clothes to wear. Later, not only Meng Nianqun came to borrow clothes, but also other young men came to him to borrow clothes during blind dates.

Time flies, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Wuchang this year is a bumper harvest year, and the breeding of Kangbei ducks is very smooth. This kind of duck rarely gets sick, grows fast, is big, and lays more eggs. Ten thousand ducklings were brought in, and more than 800 ducks survived in the end.In the winter season, the male ducks are sold for a large sum of money, and several batches of duck eggs are also sold.Five games get a lot of money.

The breeding situation of the five farms was reported to Hongri Farm. Ye Beilin and others were very excited, and immediately took this as an opportunity to vigorously publicize that next year's ducklings will no longer have to worry about selling.Because of the love between Honghe Farm and Gu Lichun, Ye Beilin insisted on reasoning that the duck seedlings for the five games will still be kept at the original price next year.

There is more than one piece of good news. The pigs on the farm are also ready for slaughter.

The proportion of high-quality pigs has reached 85%, and that of the production team is lower, reaching 60%.These high-quality pigs are directly purchased by the Ministry of Foreign Trade for export and generate foreign exchange for the country.For the remaining live pigs, some of them are left on the farm, and the rest are supplied to surrounding counties and cities, which is also well received.

After many experiments, the feed factory has also produced high-quality and low-cost pig feed, which is welcomed by the pig farmers of the production team.

Before the Chinese New Year, the second batch of staff buildings were completed, and the second batch of workers who were allocated housing were beaming with joy.Apart from envy and jealousy, the employees in other sub-fields just kept raising their opinions, so that they could keep up with the pace of the five games.

At the same time, Gu Lichun was notified that Deng Chang was coming back.

Although more than two months have passed, there is a high probability that the two will not avoid embarrassment when they meet.

Gu Lichun also imagined that if Deng Zhang didn't express his intentions clearly, would they be able to live in harmony as friends and subordinates all the time?But thinking about it again, with Deng Chang's character, if he didn't realize his true thoughts, that's fine. Once he was aware of it, he would definitely express it clearly, because this is his character.

Gu Lichun thought for a long time about the embarrassing situation that was about to arise, but he couldn't come up with a solution.

Things have happened, and it is impossible to go back to the past.

After thinking about it, he could only use his cheeky spirit and pretend that nothing happened.

Thinking about Chen Jie and Xie Xuan, they are still in the same office, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Gu Lichun prepared his psychological preparation in advance, waiting for Deng Zhang to return.

However, the development of the matter was unexpected. The deputy head Wang who had been on sick leave suddenly announced his retirement.In view of the rapid development of the five games for more than a year, and the excellent performance of Deng Zhang in recent years, the general field decided to let him take the position of Wang's deputy director and become one of the three deputy field chiefs of the general field.And Gu Lichun took advantage of the trend to take the position of Deng Chang and became the head of the five-point field. Sister Bai took his place and became the deputy head of the field. Lao Liang became the section chief of the agriculture and animal husbandry department.This series of personnel changes made everyone feel dazzled, but at the same time, they felt that things should be like this, and everyone was promoted to the position they should be promoted.

Gu Lichun was promoted to another level, and everyone came to congratulate him one after another.

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Brother Gu, congratulations, it's time to call you Director Gu from now on."

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "Let's call him Brother Gu. I'm used to it. It sounds good to me."

Chen Jie immediately said seriously: "Brother Gu, my dad sent a letter, saying that he has tried his best, but your uncle is not suitable to come out at the moment. He also said that your uncle's stay inside is to protect him. But your uncle free."

Gu Lichun showed joy: "It's great that my aunt can come out, there's no rush for my uncle, let's wait."

Chen Jie said again: "My dad said that he has helped to take care of it, and try to make your uncle's life in there easier." Gu Lichun expressed his gratitude again.

The two told Meng Nianqun and Meng Anjing the good news, and they were also overjoyed.Gu Lichun guessed that the provincial capital should have gotten the news as well.Sure enough, not long after, two letters came from there, which also mentioned this matter. The letters also said that not only the eldest aunt was free, but the second aunt would also return to the provincial capital to see a doctor from the labor camp in Qinghai.

After hearing the news, Meng Nianqun hugged Gu Lichun excitedly, and shouted: "My mother came back from Qinghai, and she also came out to see a doctor! Lichun, I'm so happy."

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "It won't be long before your family can be reunited."

Meng Nianqun nodded vigorously: "I believe in you, if you say you can, you can."

The family welcomed the Spring Festival of 1975 with joy and hope.
