It was drizzling outside the cabin, and the raindrops hit the iron plate outside the cabin. At first, the raindrops were still very interesting. Gradually, the raindrops were dense, and the river was covered with rain curtains. The ship was like a lonely boat in the sea, drifting in the rain.
As the saying goes, every autumn rain brings a chill, especially on the boat, which is more obvious. Chen Lili takes out a coat from her bag and puts it on. Yang Kuhua felt cold as if she had a low fever. She simply surrounded herself with a blanket on the boat and quietly watched the rain outside.
"The ship seems to have stopped. Is it still going?" Chen Lili seemed to talk to herself and asked Wang Wanshi sitting opposite.
"It's raining heavily, which blocks the sky and the sun. You can't see the reference." Wang Wanshi looked at the rain outside the cabin, frowning and staring.
The sky darkened and darkness fell. But the rain is getting heavier and heavier. The rain column hits the deck and turns into countless strings of water spray, which forms a stream and flows into the river like a waterfall along the drainage channel. The river roared and rushed towards the ship, flapping the hull crazily, as if determined to smash it.
The boat shook so badly that Zhang Shujuan vomited, probably because of a conditioned reflex. When Zhang Shujuan vomited, her sisters also vomited. But the heavy rain didn't pity them, instead, it became more and more crazy. The sky became more and more like a crack to dump the rain on the deck. The rain filled the sky with the wind. The sky connected with the river, and the river connected with the sky. It seemed that the whole world was submerged in water.
Zhang Shujuan vomited with a pale face, but with the scene of parting from her mother in her mind, she lost her voice and cried because of missing and vomiting. Her body shook and could not restrain herself.
Chen Lili came to comfort Zhang Shujuan, but without a few words of advice, her own tears could not help but burst into tears. Before getting on the bus, her younger brother said, "Don't worry, sister, I'll take care of my father and mother." This heartbreaking words always stuck in Chen Lili's ears and hurt her.
I don't know whether the tears increased the rain or the rain helped the crying. The girls in the cabin soon cried. But their crying could not move the Rain God, and the rainstorm was still going crazy. Suddenly a dazzling lightning flashed across the night sky filled with torrential rain, followed by a blast that brought a burst of panic to the girls in the cabin.
"If the ship doesn't work, there's no place to run." Yang Kuhua frowned at the wild rainy night outside the cabin.
"People are in the torrent, just like this, they can't help themselves." Lian Yuqi looked at the raging river, and her beautiful Danfeng seemed to be thinking with tears in her eyes.
"Wang Wanshi, call Li Tianyu and others here. I'm a little scared." Yang Kuhua wiped a tear and cried.
"It's raining so hard, and his shoulder is hurt," Wang Wanshi said, coughing repeatedly. She didn't want to be beside Li Tianyu, but he was hurt. She was distressed and worried. Suddenly, the cabin door opened and a shower of rain blew in. Li Tianyu, Guo Hongru, Ren Hanlin, Zhang Yongsheng, Li Changxue and other boys crowded into the cabin. As soon as the boys came in, the atmosphere in the cabin immediately changed. Li Tianyu saw that several sisters seemed to have knocked over the bottle of bitter juice in his heart. He cried and sobbed, and the whole cabin was filled with grief. He deliberately calmed down the atmosphere and said, "Ouch, I've been missing my mother just a few days since I left home. I've cried like this. Are you ashamed? If you let your mothers know, it would be more painful."
"People are so upset. You still want to tease. Look at Shujuan's vomit." Chen Lili choked angrily when she saw Li Tianyu joking with tears in her eyes.
"Shujuan, is she upset?" Li Tianyu sat beside Zhang Shujuan and asked softly, with full concern.
Zhang Shujuan sobbed even more when she heard Li Tianyu ask. After crying for a while, Zhang Shujuan choked and said, "My mother fell on me when she sent me, I don't know what happened. I'm not at ease." Zhang Shujuan stirred her mouth and felt so sad that she couldn't restrain herself and sobbed.
Li Tianyu's heart was also in tears. Zhang Shujuan's mood was so understandable that he would never forget the sad scenes of leaving the railway station. Li Tianyu and Wang Wanshi lived in the same compound. The two fathers were fellow workers in the same factory. They were both the backbone of the support in the Pingjin Campaign and the liberation of the factory. Their bodies were injured to varying degrees. Li Tianyu did most of the chores of the two families. The departure of Li Tianyu and Wang Wanshi meant that great difficulties would be caused to the two families. But the older generation loves the Party and the Communist Party from the bottom of their bones. No matter how difficult it is, they will firmly support their children to respond to the call of the country.
"Zhang Shujuan, don't be sad. The factory has sent a telegram to Binhai City, asking for information about the family situation of the third line staff. If there is any special situation, call back quickly. Now that there is no notification, it means everything is OK at home, so you can rest assured." Li Tianyu comforted Zhang Shujuan, whose cry had just subsided, and Guo Hongru beside her, "Comrade Zhang Shujuan, I'll give you a pair of big earrings. Do you want them?"
"Don't be so garrulous. People are sad. You tease them." Wang Wanshi said while protecting Zhang Shujuan.
"Who teased me? I'm serious. Anyone who wears my big earrings will not get seasick at once." Guo Hongru put on an affectation and serious look, which makes people can't tell the truth from the fake.
"Really? Let me take a look first. I'm responsible for putting it on for Sister Shujuan," Wang Wanshi said.
"Why do you want to see it? Let you wear it. Zhang Shujuan and I have been learning martial arts together for several years. Our feelings are deeper than yours, Shujuan, don't you think so?" When Guo Hongru saw Zhang Shujuan, he didn't say anything and ignored him, so he laughed at himself: "The default is to agree with my statement. I'll bring it to junior sister." Guo Hongru said and took out the seasickness sticker he carried with him, It was lightly pasted on Zhang Shujuan's earlobe. He made a face at everyone with exaggeration.
Suddenly, a passionate and majestic song of the railway soldiers came from the adjacent cabin, "... comrade, you want to ask us where to go, we need to go to the place where the motherland needs most, to cut mountains and fill the sea, to weave the beautiful mountains and rivers into the railway network, and to sweat today, flowers will open in the Ming Dynasty..." Everyone listened quietly, and the passionate song, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, became more magnificent, stirring everyone's heart. Li Tianyu knew that the builders of Chengdu Kunming Railway lived in the adjacent cabin. The song infected Li Tianyu, who couldn't help looking at Lian Yuqi.
Lian Yuqi is the organizing member of the Youth League branch. He is a good helper of Li Tianyu, the secretary of the Youth League branch, in the work of the Youth League. After a long time together, there is a tacit understanding. Lian Yuqi read the meaning of Li Tianyu's eyes from his eyes. One song I offer oil to the motherland flows from Lian Yuqi's mouth. Although it is a female voice, it is more passionate and moving at this time. The female voice quartet of Lian Yuqi, Wang Wanshi, Chen Lili and Yang Kuhua is famous throughout the factory and is a reserved program for every conference in the factory. The quartet of her four instantly sang the cabin, and soon became the chorus of the whole cabin. "The beautiful rivers and mountains are picturesque, and the construction of the motherland is a fine horse. It is more glorious for me to be an oil worker. I wear an aluminum helmet to walk the ends of the world, and I head to the top of the mountains with goose feathers and snow. In the face of strong winds and sand in the Gobi, the Jialing River welcomes the sunrise..." Some girls still have tears in their eyes, but these young people of the same age as the Republic will dare to go to the fire if the Party and the government give orders, They dare to go to the desert and wasteland of the motherland and selflessly offer all their strength.
After singing a song, Li Tianyu said, "Tomorrow morning, we will arrive at Yueyang. The boat will stop there for three hours. Everyone should get up and go ashore to see Yueyang Tower. Yueyang Tower is the first of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, and this opportunity should not be missed." Li Tianyu said this, obviously mobilizing everyone's spirit, and someone began to make preparations.
At this time, the door opened and two people walked in. One of them was dressed in a strong suit, medium height, and his mustache was particularly striking. His eagle like eyes came into the cabin and inspected. Li Tianyu was about to exit to ask. The man said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I went to the wrong cabin." The two men said and backed out.
Li Tianyu turned around and told everyone: "Now the social situation is complicated, and we are also a third tier unit, which is the key target of the enemy spies. Everyone should tighten the string of class struggle and be vigilant. Some areas of the Chu River were once the hardest hit areas of factional struggle, and we should be careful in everything we don't know well." Turning around, he said to Guo Hongru, "Let's go and say hello to Minister Xu."
That night, Wang Wanshi's mind was in chaos, and with the noise of the ship, she could not sleep. Early in the morning she came to the deck. The wind of the river blew her long hair up, blocking her sight. She stretched out her hand to close her hair and still stared at the river.
The gray and thick fog on the river was blown out of cracks and torn into lumps by the wind. The world on the river in front is like a dim floating body, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they want to see it more, as if it is full of uncertainty and suspense. The river is wide and lacks references, so the whole world seems to be frozen. Only the waves stirred by the bow of the boat indicate that the boat is moving rapidly, that she is getting farther and farther away from home, and that she is getting closer and closer to the strange place she is going to. She could see the dead trees, furniture, wild animals and livestock floating on the nearby river through the cracks in the fog... She felt dizzy.
Wang Wanshi looked at the back of Li Tianyu at the bow, and a complex emotion rose in his heart. Li Tianyu has taken care of himself like a big brother from childhood to adulthood. I can't imagine what his life would be like without Li Tianyu. But since she went out, she felt that Li Tianyu seemed to be close to everyone and cared for everyone, especially. Wang Wanshi's mind was turning upside down when she suddenly found Sun Eryou on the deck. She is not familiar with Sun Eryou. She only knows that Sun Eryou is the son of Sun Youcai, the personnel minister of the factory. This time, she just went back to Binhai to apply for divorce, and she also went to Chuxi by boat. Sun Eryou's restless eyes always stared at him all the way, making him uncomfortable. At this time, there were few people on the deck. Sun Eryou glanced at himself and walked towards him. Wang Wanshi felt a little scared and shouted, "Tianyu, Li Tianyu."
Hearing the cry, Li Tianyu rushed over and said, "You are weak. You came to the deck to have a wind this morning. Why don't you catch a cold?" Li Tianyu took off his windbreaker and wrapped it in Wang Wanshi. Wang Wanshi has a slim figure. Wearing Li Tianyu's windbreaker, it's really a lot from shoulder to foot. Wang Wanshi felt that she really had a cold and felt cold, so she tightened Li Tianyu's windbreaker. Seeing that Li Tianyu had no windbreaker to keep out the cold, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and went back to the cabin with Li Tianyu and them.
"Yueyang Port is coming, please take your luggage and prepare to get off the ship." The announcer's sweet voice reminded everyone.
Here comes Yueyang. The young people came ashore with vigor and vitality, just like a steed out of the rein, running from the dock to Yueyang Tower. Xu Bin, who is nearly half a century old and suffers from stomach disease, is closely chasing after him. He sees that some of us run fast and some walk slowly. The queue is very long, and his anxiety has suddenly tightened.
