Yang Zefang was born in a military compound in Beijing from 65438 to 0952. My father is an air force lieutenant general, and my mother is a composer of the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department.
He is the only son in the family. He was pampered since he was a child and enjoyed first-class care. Junior high school and senior high school attended a famous school in Beijing. If nothing happens, his life should be smooth sailing.
Xiaohong's parents and Yang Zefang's parents are family friends. Xiaohong's father was treated wrongly under the torrent of the times, and Xiaohong had to go to Yan 'an to go to the countryside.
Yang Zefang's parents promised to take care of the daughter of an old comrade-in-arms, fearing that a girl could not stand going to such a desolate and poor place in Yan 'an. After discussion, they decided to let their son go to northern Shaanxi as a companion.
According to the policy at that time, it was impossible for Yang Zefang, the only daughter, to go to the countryside. He decided to become a soldier after graduation.
When he learned that he was going with Xiaohong and the atmosphere was in full swing, Yang Zefang agreed without hesitation.
I never thought that this decision would make him regret it for the rest of his life.
/kloc-at the beginning of 0/969, Yang Zefang and Xiaohong came to Yan 'an together. Unexpectedly, they were assigned to different communes, hundreds of miles apart. In order to fulfill the entrustment of her parents, Yang Zefang took the initiative to apply for transfer to Xiaohong's commune.
Yang Zefang grew up with a mouthful of food and clothes. Xiaohong helped her wash clothes wherever she could do housework, while Yang Zefang took over all the rough and heavy work on the farm.
Not long after, the versatile and beautiful Xiaohong was admitted to the Song and Dance Troupe, and Yang Zefang was transferred to the civil aviation station near Xiaohong through his father's relationship.
Young people who live together day and night have sublimated from childhood friendship to love between men and women. It was the first love, waiting for each other, and they agreed to get married when they returned to Beijing. It was the happiest time in their lives.
Soon, the appearance of a person tore up this happy and quiet life.
1974, a female educated youth also from Beijing appeared in their lives. She likes playing the violin as much as Yang Zefang, and the same hobby makes them close.
Women in love are sensitive and suspicious. Xiaohong doesn't like Yang Zefang being alone with this female educated youth, but Yang Zefang thinks it's just normal friends learning from each other. So they often have a fierce argument about it.
On the evening of April 2 1 Sunday, Xiaohong gave a performance. She hoped that Yang Zefang could come as a lover, so she gave him a ticket.
However, she didn't see Yang Zefang until the end of the performance, and she arrived at Yang Zefang's residence. Unexpectedly, the scene in front of her made her suffer.
At this time, Yang Zefang is playing the piano with educated youth. It turned out that Yang Zefang was just about to leave when the educated youth came to consult again. Yang Zefang had an appointment with Xiaohong to stay together.
Xiaohong saw this scene and slammed the door. Yang Zefang tried to rush over to explain, but when he thought of the guests at home, he lost face. She wants to explain tomorrow.
At this time, Yang Zefang never imagined that this was the last time he saw Xiaohong!
It turned out that Xiaohong went back to drink pesticides that night. Because the dose was not enough, she cut the wire painfully and was electrocuted.
After the accident, Yang Zefang left the sad place under the arrangement of her parents and went to work in Tianjin Civil Aviation Station. Who knows that four months later, he was taken back to Yan' an for assault and served four years in prison.
These four years of life have changed Yang Zefang's character. He no longer likes talking and laughing as before, but has become a man of few words. He felt that this was all the punishment he deserved. He is sorry for Xiaohong.
Four years after he was released from prison, Yang Zefang was assigned to work in Yan 'an Brick Factory, and he turned around and rushed back to his hometown in Beijing. Unexpectedly, there was only one nanny at home, and his parents died after learning of his accident.
Yang Zefang had no home or job in Beijing, so he had to return to Yan 'an. In order to survive, he had to work in a brick factory.
The next year, Yang Zefang met a rural girl, and they got married and lived an ordinary life.
At the beginning of 1980, Yang Zefang was transferred to Xinchuan Cement Plant, all of whom were released from prison and worked very hard.
1982 One day, the leader of Xinchuan Cement Plant called Yang Zefang to the office: "Congratulations, you have been rehabilitated, and now you are a worker, not a released person"!
Yang Zefang was relieved and burst into tears for his grievances for so many years. He quit his job in the cement plant and went back to the commune to jump the queue to prove his innocence.
Knowing that he didn't commit a crime, the villagers understood and sympathized with his experience and left him in the village. In this way, Yang Zefang has been a farmer here for another five years.
At the end of 1986, Yang Zefang found the director of Yan 'an Oil Mine and told his misfortune. The factory director put him in the underground operation team and became an oil worker.
Yang Zefang has a dark skin and is no different from other oil workers except for a pure Beijing accent.
Every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Yang Zefang will visit Xiaohong's grave, chat with her, talk about her experiences in these years and miss their happy time.
