Back to 80: My Literary Life

At this time, Chen Ximi was shy and nervous.

Yesterday afternoon, Fang Minghua suddenly came to Xida to find her and told her that Shi Tiesheng was going to visit the place where he once went to the countryside to join the team in Yan'an. He wanted to pass through Xijing and wanted to see her, and he would arrive tomorrow afternoon.

Chen Ximi agreed without even thinking about it.

But when it comes to things, there is an inexplicable tension.

He locked the door of his single dormitory, tightened the curtains, and tried on the few skirts he had in front of the mirror.

She is not usually a girl who likes to dress up. She thinks that as long as she wears clean and decent clothes, it will be enough.

But today, she wants to dress herself up beautifully.

Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at herself in a white dress and wondered what she would look like when she first saw him.

Call him "Comrade Shi Tiiesheng"?

Too formal.

"Iron sound?"

Oops, it's too intimate, it seems a bit disgusting.

How about calling me "Teacher Shi?"

He is a few years older than me and is a writer, so it would be more appropriate to call him teacher.

But isn't he one generation lower than him?

Isn’t that a bit inappropriate too?

The girl fell into a state of worrying about gains and losses.

Here, Fang Minghua has already driven two people in his car towards Bianjia Village.

"I booked a room for you at the Workers' Cultural Palace Guesthouse in Bianjia Village, which is very close to Western University." Fang Minghua said while driving.

"You guys stay and have a rest, and then go have a meal. There is Fengqing Park nearby. We will arrange for Tie Sheng and Ximi to meet there. Originally, I thought of taking you directly to Xi University to find her, but thinking about it, it's a bit awkward for the first time. unexpected."

"Don't go to Western University. If you go to Western University, I won't go." Shi Tiesheng said quickly.

"I know, so I arranged to go to Fengqing Park, which is quieter."

Fang Minghua knew what Shi Tiesheng was thinking. After all, he was a disabled person. If he suddenly appeared on the campus of Western University, he would be worried about having a bad impact on Chen Ximi if he was seen by the students.

After driving to the Guest House of the Workers' Cultural Palace, Fang Minghua helped carry Shi Tiesheng to the room. Fang Minghua asked, "What should we have for lunch? How about a bowl of Lao Qin's mutton dip?"

"Haha, it's up to you."

Eating mutton soaked in mutton was quite comforting on a hot day, but even though he was sweating profusely after eating, the two of them carried Shi Tiiesheng into the room in a wheelchair. Sun Lizhe also wiped his body and changed into clean clothes.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when the sun was about to set and the temperature dropped a bit, Fang Minghua drove the two of them to Fengqing Park, parked the car outside the park, and then pushed Shi Tiesheng in.

Now the park is green everywhere, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The three of them came to a flower bed. Fang Minghua stopped and said, "I told Teacher Chen yesterday that we would meet here."

He looked at his watch again: "It should be coming soon."

"Li Zhe, Minghua." Shi Tiiesheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly became nervous.

"Tie Sheng, why are you so nervous? What did you think of Fan Ling, an educated youth, when you jumped in line? I still remember the passage you wrote in your diary!" Sun Lizhe said with a smile.

"Hey, Li Zhe, don't talk nonsense, ours is a pure proletarian revolutionary friendship!" Shi Tiesheng refuted quickly.

"Really? Then why don't you write it for other female educated youths? I still remember that passage: She is so strong..."

The teasing from his friends subtly made Shi Tiesheng less nervous.

Fang Minghua just listened with a smile and paid attention to the surrounding situation. At this time, he saw a girl wearing a white skirt and two pigtails walking towards this side.

He quickly reminded in a low voice: "Chen Ximi is here, the one in the white skirt."

The two of them stopped talking quickly, and Shi Tiesheng looked up and saw the girl in a white skirt on the path not far away.

Chen Ximi also saw Shi Tiiesheng sitting in a wheelchair.

Just like what I imagined, he wears glasses, is generous and gentle, like an elder.

But the sight of sitting in a wheelchair makes people feel inexplicably distressed.

She walked over slowly and looked at the man she was already very familiar with in the letter. The nervousness she had felt in the dormitory just now and the repeated practice had long since disappeared.

She stood in front of the wheelchair and called softly: "Tie Sheng, are you here?"

"Um."

Chen Ximi walked to the back naturally and pushed the back of the wheelchair.

"There are more mosquitoes here, let's go there."

"good"

Chen Ximi pushed the wheelchair forward, and Sun Lizhe subconsciously followed, but Fang Minghua grabbed him and glared at him.

That means why are you following?

Want to be a light bulb?

Sun Lizhe understood immediately, smiled sheepishly, slowed down with Fang Minghua, and watched the two people disappear around the corner while pushing the wheelchair.

Fang Minghua and Sun Lizhe seemed to have completed a major task, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Lizhe took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Fang Minghua: "Do you want to smoke?"

Fang Minghua shook his head.

Sun Lizhe clicked on the phone, took a sip and said, "When I was with Tie Sheng, I didn't smoke, for fear of affecting his health."

"Do you think Tie Sheng and Chen Ximi can make it work?" Sun Lizhe asked again.

"it should be OK."

"Hopefully, Tie Sheng has suffered more in half his life than some people in their whole life. Now that he is like this, I really hope that a girl who can truly love him will take good care of him." Sun Lizhe said.

"If they talk, it would be best to transfer Chen Ximi to Yanjing. A long-distance relationship may not be an option." Fang Minghua reminded.

"I understand this. As long as they can succeed, I will find a way when I get back. Our classmates from the High School Affiliated to Tsinghua University are slowly starting to make a name for themselves in society. They all sympathize with Tie Sheng's experience and will help."

Fang Minghua nodded after hearing this.

"Seven years ago, when I was imprisoned in a cave dwelling, I was very depressed and could not see a future. I almost thought of committing suicide. Tie Sheng wrote a letter in Yanjing to encourage me. He was still sitting in a wheelchair and running around asking for help. I will never forget it in my life.”

"Now that I am free, I can even go to the United States on the other side of the ocean, but he will be stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of his life." Sun Lizhe sighed.

Fang Minghua was speechless.

Some things are just so cruel.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something more relaxed." Sun Lizhe smiled: "Minghua, I heard that you have a very beautiful girlfriend?"

You know this as well?

But Fang Minghua didn't intend to hide it: "Yes, his name is Song Tangtang. He is an art soldier and a member of the art troupe of the military division."

"When are you getting married? You have to notify me then. If I'm in China, I'll definitely come over."

"It's still early."

About an hour later, it was getting dark and the street lights in the park were on. At this time, Fang Minghua saw Chen Ximi approaching in a wheelchair.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Editor Fang, Doctor Sun, it's time for me to go back, and I'll leave the iron voice to you." Chen Ximi said.

"No problem, Teacher Chen, why don't you take the car I'm driving back to you?" Fang Minghua said.

"No, it's just a few steps away." Chen Ximi declined, and then looked at Shi Tiesheng with a gentle expression: "Tiesheng, go back and write to me when you get back."

"Yes, I will. Please be safe on the road."

"Okay, bye!"

Seeing the girl walking away, Sun Lizhe asked hurriedly: "Tie Sheng, what did you and Ximi talk about?"

Shi Tiiesheng just smiled and did not answer.

After a while, he said: "I think she is a Venus."
