After getting out of the car, a strong wind blew by, and Wang Lin and the others were immediately overwhelmed by the yellow dust.

The so-called small town is just a crooked street, two rows of low-rise houses with gray faces, and the cave dwellings that can be seen everywhere on the Loess Plateau can be vaguely seen in the distance.

The walls of the houses in the town are painted with slogans and slogans that mark the times. Most of the people on the street wear white sheep's belly handkerchiefs on their heads, white Chinese-style jackets and large-crotch trousers.

Tian Xiaoqing covered her eyes, looked around, and frowned slightly.

Although she had some understanding of the difficult conditions in the old revolutionary base before coming, she was still shocked by the poverty before her when she actually set foot on this piece of yellow land.

The city in the late 1980s was just average, but compared with the villages and towns in the west, the city was considered prosperous and lively.

Liu Fuqiang stopped the car and shouted toward the police station: "Changmin! Changmin!"

A shout came from inside: "Hey, Uncle Fuqiang! I'm here!"

Following the voice, a tall and sturdy man from northern Shaanxi, wearing a police uniform, strode out: "Uncle, what do you want from me?"

"Changmin, look, who did I bring to you?" Liu Fuqiang laughed and said, "Do you think this is a coincidence? I happened to meet your classmate from the police academy!"

Gao Changmin was startled and looked at Tian Xiaoqing in surprise.

Tian Xiaoqing also looked at him blankly.

"Xiaoqing?" Gao Changmin said in shock, "Why are you here?"

Tian Xiaoqing bit the corner of her mouth: "Shouldn't I come?"

"No, not at all. Please come in," Gao Changmin said in a calm voice, "Please come in. Have you eaten? I'll make some buckwheat noodles for you to eat!"

"No need." Tian Xiaoqing suppressed the sadness in her heart and asked, "I heard that you are in love with someone?"

Gao Changmin glanced at Liu Fuqiang, who was squatting next to him smoking a cigarette, and knew in his heart that it was Uncle Fuqiang who told Tian Xiaoqing about his relationship. He was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, and said with a blushing face: "Come into the house.

explain."

Tian Xiaoqing said: "I just want to ask you one thing, is it true or false?"

"This matter is complicated! I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while." Gao Changmin was evasive, not daring to look into Tian Xiaoqing's eyes.

Liu Fuqiang is not stupid either. Looking at their expressions, you can tell that they are not just classmates. He has been listening with sharp ears!

At this time, Liu Fuqiang knocked the tobacco stick against the stone on the side of the road, and said with a smile: "Changmin, what's unclear about this? You and my brother's girl are in love! My niece Liu Baozhen - oh, Baozhen

Come here! Baozhen! Baozhen!”

On the street over there, a young girl with two pigtails walked over. She had a plateau red face, big eyes, and was wearing a blue flowered cloth and trousers.

"Changmin!" Liu Baozhen was carrying a bamboo basket, which was covered with cotton. She walked up to Gao Changmin, opened the cover, and said shyly, "The freshly steamed white-flour buns are made by Qiu. I bring them to you."

of."

She looked at Tian Xiaoqing, Wang Lin and others, and asked curiously: "Changmin, who are they? Are they here to do business at the police station? Then go do your business first, I'll wait for you."

Wang Lin really didn't expect that Tian Xiaoqing was so affectionate that she traveled thousands of miles to visit her boyfriend and brought him the good news of a job transfer, only to encounter such a bloody scene!

He glanced at Tian Xiaoqing with pity, but couldn't say a word of comfort.

Wu Dazhuang sneered: "This man deserves to be beaten!"

Wang Lin shook his head gently: "He just made the most correct choice. When we were young, we always thought that we could fight fate and defeat everything. When we grow up, we understand that we will eventually fail to realize it. For Gao Changmin,

The thousand-mile distance between Xi'an and Shanghai was a gap that he could not cross. He did not have the ability to work in Shanghai, nor did he have the courage to give up his official position and go to sea, let alone let his beloved woman suffer here. Therefore, he

I can only choose another woman. This is the most painful and helpless but also the most economical and wisest choice."

Wu Dazhuang was dumbfounded by what he said.

Wang Lin sighed lightly.

Isn't this the case with the current situation between him and Zhou Zhou, between him and Li Wenxiu, or between him and Shen Xue?

What we have may not be what we want, what we desire is out of reach, and what we love often cannot be together.

Tian Xiaoqing took out a piece of paper, which was the job introduction letter from Gao Changmin that she had worked so hard for.

She took this precious letter of introduction and showed it to Gao Changmin: "Do you know how much hard work and effort I put in to get this transfer? I am full of longing and hope and want to give you a surprise. Who?

Knowing you brought me an even greater surprise! Thank you, Gao Changmin, for making me realize that all my efforts and perseverance were worthless! The romance and eternal alliance I thought were just like a gorgeous firework, I

I thought it would be engraved in my life for a hundred years, but I didn’t expect it to be just a passing cloud.”

Gao Changmin is petrified!

He looked at the red-headed document in front of him in disbelief!

"Xiao Qing! I -" Gao Changmin twisted his face with difficulty and pain, "I didn't expect you could really do it."

He stretched out his hand to take the order.

However, before Tian Xiaoqing could touch him, he tore the letter of introduction in his hand into pieces without any hesitation!

Countless expressions flashed across Gao Changmin's face in an instant.

He was shocked, pained, regretful, disappointed, helpless and sad!

"Cherish the woman around you! Don't let her be as sad and disappointed as I am!" Tian Xiaoqing smiled sadly, "I used to think that the relationship between us was Yuan Zhen's "Departure". It used to be difficult to make water in the sea, except for

Wushan is not a cloud. I looked back lazily at the flowers, half destined to practice Taoism and half destined to be a king. As a result, we lived like Li Shangyin's "Jin Se". This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss."

She didn’t say goodbye, and there was no day to see her again!

Tian Xiaoqing turned around resolutely and came to Wang Lin: "Let's go!"

Wang Lin asked: "Aren't you going to give him a chance?"

Tian Xiaoqing shook his head slowly: "I think that girl has a deep affection for him. Of course I can use my advantage to take him away from this yellow land, but it is another simple woman who is hurt. Why bother? You are right.

, it is much cheaper and more realistic for him to find a local woman than to be with me! Since this is his choice, why should I insist on it? "

Wang Lin looked at his watch and said to Liu Fuqiang: "Uncle Fuqiang, please send us to Xi'an."

Liu Fuqiang had already understood the scene and did not leave them alone. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll take you back!"

Gao Changmin shouted heartbreakingly: "Xiaoqing!"

Liu Baozhen held his arm and asked: "Changmin, who is this woman? What is your relationship with her?"

Gao Changmin looked at Tian Xiaoqing who got into the van without looking back, and said with a painful expression: "She is my classmate in the police academy, she was my dream! She was my obsession!"

Liu Baozhen looked at the man in confusion and tightened her hands: "She is too beautiful. You are not allowed to associate with her anymore! We will be engaged soon!"

Gao Changmin's heart was bleeding and he smiled bitterly: "Once she leaves, she and I will never see each other again!"

He looked at the butt of the van with melancholy.

The van started, and the four wheels kicked up huge clouds of dust on the loess land, which hit Gao Changmin all over his head and face.

Like a clay figure, Gao Changmin watched the van gradually disappear into the distance. His youth, his dreams, and his obsessions also dissipated into the distance along with the cloud of yellow dust.

But in the van, Tian Xiaoqing could no longer hold on, put down her strength, threw herself on the shoulder of Wang Lin next to her, and cried bitterly.
