Diary of the Army in the 1970s Chapter 18.2

Wei Dai’s face suddenly became serious, and he comforted her softly, “Don’t be afraid, they can’t do anything to you.”

Wen Jiajia said, “I’m not afraid. If it happens, it’s just annoying.”

After speaking, she tugged at the corner of Wei Dai’s clothes and motioned for him to hurry into the cinema. It was so dark in the cinema that no one could recognize anyone.

Not to mention, “The White-Haired Girl” is a classic film, and even if the shooting equipment wasn’t as advanced, the movie was much better than many later films.

God knows how outrageous the entertainment industry would become decades later. Now, with serious old artists in the movie, Wen Jiajia quite enjoyed it and even wiped away two tears after watching it.

Wei Dai seemed to feel a lot and sighed from time to time as they left the cinema.

Wen Jiajia’s emotions came and went quickly, and as she wondered whether she needed to go to the Youth Office to pick up people, she suddenly heard someone calling her.

“Wen Jia!”

She didn’t need to look; she knew it was the voice of the original owner’s adoptive father.

What the heck! The law of bad luck says that when you think you’re going to be unlucky, you really will be unlucky.

The original owner’s adoptive father was named Wen Zhengliang.

Wen Zhengliang had a respectable name, but he was neither upright nor conscientious.

However, relying on his ability to navigate and flatter, he had gone from being a refugee to becoming a county cleaner and finally a small workshop leader.

That kind of self-motivated attitude of climbing up regardless of everything was truly impressive.

Wei Dai’s sharp eyes immediately fixed on him, and by the time he crossed the road, Wei Dai had already sized him up.

Wen Zhengliang frowned and said, “You are such a good girl, but you are openly walking on the street with a man…”

Wen Jiajia rolled her eyes and said, “What’s wrong with me? The people walking on the street are either men or women. According to you, men and women walking openly on the street are shameless?”

“Humph! I’m a decent person, how can I be like…”

“What do you look like? Like a frivolous person. I say, Did you jump out of a stone? How did you come here? How did your parents bring you into this world? It’s because you ate too much and had too little time.”

“Tsk!” She deliberately muttered in a low voice, “You are the only one who is not serious. You are not serious at all.”

Wen Zhengliang’s face turned red with anger. The “serious person” could no longer pretend to be serious and pointed at her, scolding, “Since you want to cut off relations with our family, then you have to keep the money you have spent on food and clothing in our house over the years, otherwise… Hiss, ah!”

Wei Dai pressed his raised finger in the opposite direction, and Wen Zhengliang was interrupted again. He instantly arched his back to avoid it in pain.

He didn’t speak, just looked at Wen Zhengliang coldly.

Not to mention, Wei Dai must have killed several people, and Wen Zhengliang’s legs went weak and his scalp went numb when he saw it.

Time seemed to stand still for two seconds. It wasn’t until Wei Dai turned his head and signaled with his eyes that Wen Jiajia could continue to scold the frightened Wen Zhengliang.

Wen Jiajia put her hands in her pockets and said proudly, “Okay, if you make a list, I can give you the money. But then what does it mean that I have worked in your house for several years? I think I am just a nanny. You are a leader after all, you can afford a nanny.”

After that, she secretly added, “It is still the kind of master who oppresses the toiling and poor and does not give money.”

Wen Zhengliang’s eyes widened. This was amazing. He had raised a white-eyed wolf after more than ten years.

He had been tricked so that his promotion was ruined, and now these words were aimed directly at his death.

His whole body froze, and he tried to hold back, forcing a smile on his face: “Haha, raising you is fate, and at the very least you’ve called me dad for more than ten years. I was just kidding you, you don’t have to pay those things back.”

Wen Jiajia raised her eyebrows. “That’s good.”

After speaking, she pulled Wei Dai away.

On the way, Wei Dai turned his head to look at her from time to time, as if he was very worried about her emotions at the moment.

Wen Jiajia was helpless. She looked around quickly, supported her cheeks with her hands, and said, “Don’t look at it, don’t look at it, I’m not sad at all.”

She kicked the clods of dirt under her feet and muttered, “I’m not stupid. I’ve been bullied in that house for years. If I really feel for them, it’s a bubble in my head.”

The original owner thought so too.

However, Wei Dai’s face turned red, his ears were buzzing, and he could no longer hear what Wen Jiajia said.

He closed his eyes and moved closer, and their hands that hung at his side occasionally touched as they walked.

Their skin touched and then separated in an instant.

That feeling is like tugging, never knowing if the two of them will touch in the next second. Wei Dai liked it very much and liked this sense of anticipation. But he was very nervous, so nervous that he was short of breath, for fear that Wen Jiajia would take a step back.

Fortunately, from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder.

It was almost time to reach the entrance of the city, and suddenly, Wei Dai’s hand attached to hers, first loosely gripped, and then wrapped tightly.

He exhaled slowly, turned to look at Wen Jiajia, and his voice trembled a little. “Jiajia.”

Wen Jiajia raised her eyes to look at him, and it was obvious that a lot of fine sweat was pouring out of his forehead.

“Jiajia, I want to say that we…”

Wen Jiajia shook back, and their palms met.

She feigned doubt. “What are we?”

Wei Dai’s shoulders loosened, and the corners of his mouth rose. “Are we dealing with each other well?”

Wen Jiajia didn’t speak, her eyes were boneless, and she couldn’t see any expression on her face, so she only took his hand and waved it in the air, and walked forward slowly.

Suddenly, she stopped and smiled. “Yes, Comrade Wei.”

Wei Dai also smiled. It was the first time Wen Jiajia had seen him smile so brightly. His smile showed his white teeth, which were full of silliness.

——

As soon as they got to the target, and before he had time to exchange ideas and talk to him, Wen Jiajia had to be busy picking up people.

Wei Dai didn’t have time to take Wen Jiajia to take a photo, because the intellectuals had already arrived.

She rushed Daqiang to the Educated Youth Office and named all the educated youths who belonged to the Fuyang Brigade.

“Get in the car, put your luggage on the car, and walk there.” Wen Jiajia said.

There were five educated youths on this trip, and each of them had a lot of luggage. If they all got on the car, Daqiang would be exhausted.

“You have to use your legs to walk.”

Wen Jiajia was surprised: “What else? The car can’t accommodate us. It’s not too far. We can walk there before dark.”

Two intellectuals were a little hesitant, and one of them said, “Can we take turns?”

Wen Jiajia felt that this educated youth was quite smart, so she nodded and said, “Okay, at most two people at a time, and they can’t all be heavy. You can discuss your turns.”

Among these five educated youth, two were big guys, and one could tell at a glance that they were from the north.

Wei Dai waited by the side the whole time, and when he heard Jiajia’s “driving” and drove slowly to the countryside, he also followed slowly.

“Comrade Wen, who is that male comrade?” asked the educated youth who were walking.

Wen Jiajia tilted her head to look at him for a few seconds, then turned back and smiled: “That’s my boyfriend.”

Wei Dai pursed his lips and chuckled.

They were all young people, and they got acquainted with each other in a short time.

Wen Jiajia felt that these intellectuals were quite pitiful and was willing to tell them about local affairs.

The intellectuals wanted to get along well with the locals, so when both sides were interested, several people engaged in lively discussions.

At about three o’clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at the Fuyang Brigade, and the people in the village were still busy in the fields.

Wei Dai also came; he got what he wanted, and he had to come around and completely settle his status.

This appearance finally made the villagers aware of the closeness between the two.

“Jiajia, what are you guys doing?” an aunt asked in surprise. Otherwise, how do you explain that the two were so close and laughing together?

Wen Jiajia smiled. “That’s right!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her surrounded her.

There’s nothing I can’t say about this, and I haven’t thought about when I’m going to get married… Wen Jiajia replied so much that her mouth was about to dry.

The people in the village felt strange, but after thinking about it, they also felt that the two were fated.

“If you want my opinion, this match is in good condition.”

In the evening, there were people under the old camphor tree.

“Wei Chengcai is a spendthrift old man. He usually helps his friends, so he can’t help his daughter-in-law’s family.”

The old couple of the Wei family are honest and good people, so they don’t have to worry that the Wei family will not accept Wen Chun and Wen Xuan.

“I said at the time that there was something between the two of them, and you told me not to guess. At that time, you looked at me, I looked at you, and my eyes were about to pull out the silk.”

“Hey, then in the future, will Wen San go to the army or to Hegou Township? I heard that no matter how far Wei Dai’s troops went, it would take almost a day to take the train.”

Tian Junxia, ​​who came out to chat with a bag of sunflower seeds in her pocket, was stunned when she heard these words, then slapped her thigh and said, “Good fellow, you are still trying to bluff me.”

She was the first to find out!

Tian Junxia hurriedly ran to Wen’s house. At this time, Wei Dai had already left, and Wen Chun and Wen Xuan had just returned.

“Jiajia, how long have you been with Wei Dai?” she asked, making her way to the kitchen.

Wen Jiajia sighed silently in her heart.

Alas! What she disliked most was the fact that she could visit people at will in the countryside.

The door has to be open, and if you don’t open it, people will wonder what you’re doing in the house.

You never knock on the door of your house, and of course, there are reasons why the house in the country is too big to hear when you knock.

The above Wen Jiajia could actually accept.

The only thing that is hard to accept is that they will go all the way into the house, and their lives will be spread out in front of other people’s eyes without preparation.

Just like now, Tian Junxia looked at the dishes on the table and was surprised: “We are eating fish today.”

Wen Jiajia smiled. “Auntie, have you eaten? I made sauerkraut fish today. Do you want to eat some?”

Tian Junxia waved her hand: “No need.” She sniffed secretly, thinking, Is this pickled fish cooked with pickled cabbage? It smells really good.

Wen Jiajia pulled her to sit down, put a bowl in front of her, and placed several pieces of fish fillets in her bowl, despite Tian Junxia’s excuses.

“Auntie, please eat quickly. I’ve already picked up all the food. This is a new way I learned. We don’t have it here. Why don’t you try it?”

“Hey you kid…” she spat, “I really finished my meal…” and continued to spit.

“By the way, you and Wei Dai…” She pursed her lips, saying, “When will you be together…” and continued to purse her lips.

Wen Jiajia quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Grass carp, a popular dish at the dinner table, has no other disadvantages, except that it has many bones.

After eating, Wen Jiajia pretended to do housework.

So, Tian Junxia left, but she soon returned. She carried more than a pound of mung beans, remembering Wen Jiajia casually mentioning during dinner that she wanted to cook mung bean porridge.

Wen Jiajia was stunned for a moment. Before Tian Junxia left, she said shyly, “Aunt, Wei Dai and I have only been together for less than 8 hours.”

“Really?” Tian Junxia didn’t believe it too much.

Wen Jiajia said helplessly, “Really.”

With first-hand information, Tian Junxia left satisfied.

Wen Jiajia sent her to the door.

The sky was clear tonight, cloudless, and the moon was exceptionally bright.

Wen Jiajia could see the inky mountains in the distance and sometimes heard the cries of wild animals coming from the mountains.

If you looked up, you could see stars that you couldn’t see in your previous life. The sky was full of stars, and it looked very close to the ground. It seemed like standing on the top of a mountain, and you could pick them with your hand.

“Who—”

Wen Jiajia stretched, hummed a little song, and went back to the house. Who would have thought a few months ago that she would be dating a soldier who was were born from the 40s?
