Drama "Touch Green" (I) Bai Xianyong

In the year of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing was still the capital, and we lived in Renai East Village, Dafang Lane, the family area of the lower and middle air force. In this secluded place of Sichuan, we suffered all those years and suddenly returned to Kyoto, where the gold powder of the Six Dynasties shone. The historic sites everywhere, the prosperity everywhere and the imperial atmosphere dazzle us. ?

At that time, Cheng Wei was serving as the captain of the 1 1 brigade. His two teams have just returned from training in the United States, and his pilots are highly valued and very busy on duty. In case of urgent business, he often leads his own team. Three or four days a week, I can't even see his back. Every business trip, he always takes Guo Fei with him. Guo Fei is his favorite student. When Guo Fei was studying at guanxian Aviation School in Sichuan, Wei Chenggong often said to me: Guo Fei, a young man, is superior to others, and will have a bright future. Sure enough, a few years later, Guo Qiu jumped up, climbed up the squad leader and stayed in the United States. ?

Guo Ti is a survivor of the Air Force. His father was a colleague of Cheng Wei's. He fell off the plane a long time ago, and his mother died with him. When I was in the aviation school, I always asked him to come to our house for a reunion dinner on holidays. Cheng Wei and I have no children. When Guo is lonely, we often take care of him. At that time, he had a bright blue scalp and was wearing a khaki student costume. Although his manners show cleverness everywhere, his quarrels are gentle and childish, and he is still an inexperienced young boy. He came back from America and came to my home in Nanjing. Suddenly he gave me a military salute and called me Teacher Niang. I was really taken aback. Guo Guo wore a uniform of the United States Air Force and a leather jacket with lapels and wool on his upper body. His waist was tight and steep.

There is a Ray-Ban sunglasses box on the belt. A brand-new and towering military hat brim is pressed between the eyebrows; Hair has grown out, too, and the shiny black feet are close to the temples. It's only been a year or two. I didn't expect Guo to be so heroic. ?

"What's the matter, young man? There should be some signs when I come back this time? " I smiled and said to him. ?

"Nothing else, Teacher Niang, but I have saved several hundred dollars abroad." Guo Wei said. ?

"Enough to be a wife!" I smiled. ?

"Yes, Teacher Niang, I'm looking for it." Guo Ti also grinned at me. ?

After the war, Nanjing simply became the world of our little pilots. No matter where you go, in the streets, you will always meet a swaggering little air force, holding a well-dressed lady in hand, swaying in the rain. Fall in love-every pilot falls in love. I always get several wedding invitations from acropolis students a month. However, Guo Qiu came back from the United States for many years, but there has been no good news from him. He also brought some Miss mode to my house to eat my watercress carp. I asked him afterwards, and he always shook his head and said with a smile.

"Nothing, Teacher Niang, just having fun." ?

But one day, he came to tell me: this time he recognized the truth. He fell in love with a girl named Zhu Qing, who studied in Jinling Girls' Middle School. ?

"Teacher Niang," he told me vigorously, "you will like her! I want to bring her to see you. Teacher Niang, I never thought I would be so serious about a girl. " ?

I can also know a little about Guo's character. You are very independent, young and young, and it is inevitable that you are a little conceited. Generally speaking, he once told me that he wouldn't get married unless he chose a satisfactory girl. All the ladies he brought to see me were extraordinary in appearance, and he didn't like them. I think this Zhu Qing is probably a first-class figure in heaven, which will make Guo Ke so tempted. ?

When I saw Zhu Qing, I was shocked. Guo Qiu took her to see me that day and had lunch at my house. It turns out that Zhu Qing is a thin yellow flower girl in her late teens. She came to see me, wearing a semi-old straight blue robe with a white silk handkerchief tucked in her lapel. I didn't perm my hair, so I hung it neatly behind my ears. Wearing a pair of stumbling black shoes and a pair of white socks. I looked at her and found that her figure was not selected, slightly flat, and her face was a little black and white. However, there is a charming water show between her eyebrows. When she saw me, she bowed her head all the way, shy, painful and pitiful. After a meal, how I teased her, she couldn't answer, and she answered vaguely. On the other hand, Guo Ke is very busy, picking vegetables for her, pouring tea for her, and urging her to chat with me. ?

"She's so awkward," Guo Chao said impatiently, pointing to Zhu Qing. "She still has something to say to me, but she is dumb when she sees people. Teacher Niang is not an outsider here and is so unpopular. " ?

Guo Qiu's words were a little grumpy. Zhu Qing blushed and turned away. ?

"Forget it," I looked a little guilty and stopped Guo Tiao. "Miss Zhu came for the first time, naturally a little stiff. Don't poke her. After dinner, you two are going to Xuanwu Lake, where the lotus flowers are in full bloom. " ?

Guo Ti came on his flashy new motorcycle. After dinner, when they left, Guo Ti helped Zhu Qing to the back seat, tied her black silk headscarf, jumped in the car, lit a fire briskly, waved triumphantly to me, and suddenly pulled Zhu Qing away. Zhu Qing snuggled up behind Guo Qiu, and the silk scarf on her head was blown high. Looking at Guo's description, I know he really recognized it this time. ?

Don't you know that he is chasing a student of Jinling Girls' Middle School? I think he lost his mind in love! I often break into other people's schools, even if they are in class, I will tease that female student out. Not to mention, when he was practicing, he flew over Jinling Girls' Middle School and played rotor there, which made all the female students stick their heads out of the classroom to watch the fun. What a scandal! The headmaster sued our headquarters. A pilot is so frivolous, I will punish him severely! "?

Guo Chao was given a big demerit, and was removed from the post of monitor. When I met Guo, he explained to me:

"Teacher Niang, I didn't mean to foul, making the teacher angry. It was Zhu Qing who took my heart away. Really, teacher niang, I am flying in the sky, and my heart is following her on the ground. Zhu Qing is a well-behaved girl, but she is a little shy and not very sociable. Now the school has expelled her, and her parents sent a telegram from Chongqing to force her to go back. She refused to die and fell out with them. She said that she has been with me all her life, and now she lives alone in an inn and hasn't settled down yet. " ?

"Fool," I shook my head and sighed. I didn't expect smart people to become so confused when talking about love. "Since they are so stupid, let's get married." ?

"Teacher Niang, I just want to discuss this matter with you, and I want to invite you and your teacher to be our officiating guests." Guo Qiu said to me with a beaming face. ?

After Guo Ti and Zhu Qing got married, they also lived in our Renai East Village. Guo Ke has two weeks' marriage leave. Originally, he and Zhu Qing planned to spend their honeymoon in Hangzhou, but they failed. Suddenly, the civil war broke out. The brigade of the acropolis has been transferred to the northeast. The morning before he left, Guo Ti came into my kitchen at dawn, and I was making a fire to make soup and rice for Cheng Wei. Guo Ke was wearing a military coat, his hair was unkempt, his eyes were full of red silk and he didn't shave. He grabbed my hand and his voice was hoarse. He said to me:

"Teacher niang, please come to your family this time anyway-?

"I see," I interrupted. "I will take care of your wife while you are away." ?

"Teacher Niang-"Guo Yi still passed. "Zhu Qing still don't understand. She doesn't understand many rules of our air force. You should be one of her own and teach her more. " ?

"Yes," I smiled. "Your teacher's mother followed your teacher in the air force for ten years. You haven't seen anything? I don't know how many people learn from me. Zhu Qing is not stupid, wait for me to enlighten her slowly. " ?

After Cheng Wei and Guo Ti left, I cleaned up my room and went to Zhu Qing's house to visit her. The dormitory allocated to Guo Ti by the government is a Xiao Mu bungalow. Before they moved in, Guoguo specially painted it and hung some new curtains, which were quite eye-catching. I went into their house and saw that the living room was still dressed like a new house. The tables and chairs are full of red and green gifts, and some packages have not been opened yet. However, under the table, there is a flower basket. Gladiolus buds are fresh, and even ferns are green. Those happiness plaques hanging on the wall were not taken away, but an ebony gold-plated plaque given to him by Guo Ti was hung in the middle of the hall, which read "Grow old together". ?

Zhu Qing was in her room. She didn't hear me when I walked in. She plopped down on the bed, her face buried under the covers, sobbing. She is also wearing a newly-married colorful silk cheongsam. Her freshly permed hair is messy and her tail is as stiff as a branch. A silk quilt embroidered with colorful mandarin ducks taught her to rub away all wrinkles. There is a bowl of wet marks on the quilt beside her face. She sat up in shock when she heard my footsteps. She just shouted "Shi Niang" and then choked up. Zhu Qing's face is blue and yellow, his eyes are swollen and narrow, and he looks thinner and thinner. I went over and took a sip of her hair, twisted a hot towel and handed it to her. Zhu Qing took the towel, covered her face and began to cry again. Outside, trucks and jeeps kept dragging luggage, and the sound of chain collision was very harsh. People in the village began to take office one after another, sometimes women screamed and sometimes children cried, which was very chaotic. I waited for Zhu Qing to cry, then patted her on the shoulder and said:

"The first time, when we suddenly parted, it was always like this-don't be angry tonight, come to my place for dinner and be my companion." ?

Cheng Wei and Guo Ti disappeared as soon as they left. Suddenly I heard that they were transferred to North China, and then I wrote and flew to Central China. I haven't been home for months. In the meantime, Zhu Qing often stayed with me. Sometimes I teach her to cook, sometimes I teach her to knit, and sometimes I teach her to play mahjong. ?

"This thing is a panacea," I told her with a smile. "If you have any ideas, sit on the table and mix the red whiteboard and forget everything." ?

After Zhu Qing got married, she became much more cheerful, but she was still shy and timid. She has no contact with other families in the village except me. I know all the life stories of those people in the village, and gradually, I also pick out some to tell her, so that she can be familiar with the lives of those people in our village. ?

"Don't misunderstand these people," I told her. "They have experienced some things behind them. Just like Mrs. Zhou behind you, she has been married four times. Her current husband and her previous three husbands were once members of the same team. One is dead, the other is entrusted, and this round comes down. Her husband used to be a good friend and was very considerate to her. The one who met his wife, her husband is her brother-in-law, and the Xu brothers are both in the 13th Brigade. My brother died and my brother took his place. The original child, whether uncle or father, has been unclear for a long time. " ?

"But they are still talking and laughing." Zhu looked at me doubtfully. ?

"My girl," I smiled, "don't laugh, let them cry? Don't wait until now if you want to cry. " ?

After Guo Qiu left, Zhu Qing refused to go out again and stayed in the village every day. Sometimes we all go to the Confucius Temple to hear the girls sing, but Zhu Qing refuses to go with us. She said that she was afraid of missing the news of Guo Fei from the headquarters. One day, the headquarters wrote that Weicheng's team had passed through Shanghai, so it would be nice to stay one more day, and might come to Nanjing. Zhu Qing went in and out early in the morning and went out to buy two baskets full of vegetables. In the afternoon, I passed by her door and saw her wearing a blue cloth suit and an old headscarf, standing on a stool and cleaning the window. She is short and can't reach it on tiptoe, but she is holding a big rag in her hand and swinging it from side to side, as if she had exhausted all her strength. ?

"Zhu Qing, the dust above Guo Yi is invisible." I laughed and cried. ?

Zhu Qing turned to see me, blushed and said wryly:

"Somehow, just a few months later, this house is old and can't be cleaned." ?

In the evening, Zhu Qing came and invited me to the concierge who put the military telephone at the village entrance. The people at headquarters promised to call us at six or seven to communicate. After washing and dressing, Zhu Qing put on an apricot silk robe, an apple green ribbon on her head and some lipstick on her mouth. She looks very fresh and satisfying. At first, Zhu Qing was very happy and talked and laughed with me. At six o'clock, she gradually became nervous, her face tense and her voice silent. While knitting, she looked up at the telephone on the desk from time to time. We waited until nine o'clock when the telephone rang. Zhu Qing suddenly jumped up, the ball of wool rolled all over the floor and hurried to the phone, but when she reached the table, she turned around and said to me in a trembling voice.

"Teacher Niang-the phone is coming." ?

I went to answer the phone, and the people at the headquarters said that Weicheng and them only stayed in Shanghai for two hours and took off for northern Jiangsu at five in the afternoon. I told Zhu Qing the news, and Zhu Qing's face suddenly became very ugly. She stood there silently for a long time, but her muscles twitched slightly. ?

"Let's go back." I said to her. ?

We walked back to the village, and Zhu Qing followed me silently. When I walked to the door, I said to her.

"Don't be sad, their affairs are very uncertain." ?

Zhu Qing turned around and hit her in the eye with her sleeve, and her throat choked. ?

Nothing else, just wait for another day today?

I put my arm around her shoulder and said:

"Zhu Qing, teacher niang has a few words to tell you, I wonder if you would like to listen. General Fei's wife is not easy to be For 24 hours, that heart hung in the air. Even if your eyes look at the sky and bleed, people in the world may not know that day. They are like those iron birds, flying east and west, you can't catch them. You are married to our village, Zhu Qing. Don't blame me for telling the truth. You must relentlessly take risks in the future. " ?

Zhu Qing looked at me with tears in his eyes and nodded in confusion. I pulled up her chin and sighed with a smile.

"Go home and go to bed early tonight." ?

In the winter of the thirty-seventh year of the Republic of China, the war on our side had been defeated, and when the north was getting tight day by day, several families in our east village got bad news. Some family members go to the temple every day to pray to God to worship bodhisattva, tell fortune and touch bones. I never believed in these ghosts and gods. Cheng Wei hasn't written for a long time, so I invited my neighbor next door to stay up all night and settle down. One night, I was playing cards with some neighbors, and Mrs. Xu, who lives opposite, ran over and dragged me out. Out of breath, she told me that the headquarters had just informed me that Guo Qiu had an accident in Xuzhou, and the plane and people were smashed into pieces. I rushed to Zhu Qing's apartment, which was dark and full of people. Zhu Qing sank into an armchair, and a woman on the left and right sides grabbed her arm and hugged her tightly. There is a white towel tied to her head. The towel is red and full of blood. As soon as I entered, the people inside told me noisily: As soon as Zhu Qinggang got the news, he hugged Guo Ke's military uniform and ran outside the village, crying while running, claiming to find Guo Ke. When someone stopped her, she kicked and beat around. As soon as she ran out of the village, she bumped into an iron pole and got a big hole in her forehead. She just recited it, and there was no sound. ?

I went to Zhu Qing, took a bowl of ginger soup from others, pried Zhu Qing's mouth open with a copper spoon, and drank a few mouthfuls. Her face is like a cut fish belly, white and red, bloody. Her eyes are wide open, but her eyes are scattered. She didn't cry, but her two blue lips kept opening and closing, and a series of harsh sounds kept coming out of her throat, like a mouse screaming when it was trampled blind. After I drank the bowl of ginger soup, she gradually stopped watching it and became conscious. ?

Zhu Qing has been ill in bed for a long time. I moved her to my house. Watched her day and night, and sometimes even when I was playing cards, I put her in front of me. I'm afraid that if I lose my eyes, she will kill herself again. Zhu Qing slept in bed all day, neither talking nor eating. I force her to drink some soup every day. A few weeks later, Zhu Qing was as thin as a few bones, with a pale face and two big holes in his eyes. One day, after I fed her, I sat by her bed and said to her:

"Zhu Qing, if you say you are for Guo Qiu, you shouldn't humiliate yourself like this. Even if Guo Qiu is underground, he can't feel at ease when he knows it. " ?

After listening to my words, Zhu Qing suddenly struggled to sit up, gave me two nods and sneered.

"What does he know? How will he feel when he collapses? He was lucky to disappear with a bang-I'm dead, too, but I'm still conscious. " ?

Zhu Qing said that her face was twisted like crying and laughing, which was very ugly. ?

I've been in Zhu Qing for a month, and I'm exhausted. Fortunately, her parents are from Chongqing. Her father saw that she was silent, but her mother spat bitterly:

"That's right! It is time! I want her not to marry the air force, not to obey, and to end up like this! " ?

Say that finish, Zhu Qing unkempt was held down from the bed, together with his bedding on a scooter and dragged away. A few days after Zhu left, we also began to flee and left Nanjing.
