Fantasy world

After all this trouble, the attitude of most of the men, women, and children in the bay towards me was not only not alienated, but more friendly and enthusiastic than before. This was something I didn't expect. At that time, the vast number of poor and lower-middle peasants hid as far away as possible from right-wing elements like Professor Wu around them. They would not provoke them if they could, and they would not get involved if they could. This is class struggle, and the class stance is a major issue of right and wrong.

I didn’t expect that I, a revolutionary educated youth, would make such a big show of getting engaged to this black-type child. It was simply bizarre.

Of course, with this idiot from the United States stepping in, anyone in the bay who has some brains actually knows what's going on. Most of them are just pretending to be deaf and dumb.

For this reason, many people secretly appreciated my righteous deed. This point seems to be felt by the changes in the attitudes of young and old towards me in this large bay. Just because the matter is so important and the topic is so sensitive, I can only pretend to be stupid when others are pretending to be stupid.

Of course, in this large bay, there were many young men and women walking up and down with me. Before, except for a few half-year-old girls I fished out of the lake, few of my peers were especially warm and friendly to me. Until now, I can’t even call a few names or talk to a few people. Said hello. At best, it's just to show respect when you meet, don't hurt others with your words, and don't cause harm when doing work.

Now, when I walk in the bay, everyone I meet will take the initiative to say hello to me. When my peers work in the fields together, they all start to chat with me. Slowly, I began to have impressions and memories of calling most people by their names.

In the past few days, one of my peers named Mi Zhongliang has been consciously trying to get close to me. Through small talk, we also got to know each other a little bit. He also settled here a year earlier than me. He also looks like a scholar. He talks about ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, astronomy and geography, and doesn't hesitate to talk. But he is neither an educated youth who went to the countryside nor an educated youth who returned to his hometown. It turns out that he is also a different kind. His father had been the township head of the reactionary Kuomintang government before liberation. After liberation, he was suppressed and became a reform-through-labor prisoner. After that, such reform-through-labor prisoners were reformed in the labor camp and were allowed to bring their families. He was born and raised on a labor camp. In this way, until last year, when his father died on the labor camp and his older brothers and sisters had already married and started families, he returned to his place of origin with his mother.

It can be seen from the conversation that he has at least graduated from high school and has read a lot of books. I feel that his cultural level and knowledge are much better than mine. Even small talk makes me, an educated young man, very embarrassed.

He is several years older than me. After my father passed away, my mother chose to return to her hometown, largely to solve personal problems. But after he returned to his hometown, he realized that in a situation like his, it would be even harder to start a family and start a business in the countryside. First, the popularity of baby marriage in the countryside basically leaves no leftover women; besides, with his profile and age, who can he marry?

Thinking about it, he looks like a male version of Wu Wenyan. If Wu Wenyan lowers the conditions and standards, it is not difficult to marry someone. If he lowers the conditions and standards to zero, no one may be willing to marry him!

Obviously, he didn't have many friends to talk to in the bay, so he finally caught me, and he was the best person to talk to. Although, he and I do not belong to the general category of educated youths who were sent to the lower levels. However, both of us are young people with some knowledge, and we also feel a little lonely and out of place as strangers in a foreign land. And through the incident between me and Wu Wenyan, it was a natural necessity that he chose to be friends with me.

I'm not a sociable person, and neither is he. But we live in the same age group and work together almost every day. We chatted more and got to know each other better. We quickly found a lot of consensus and resonance, and it was difficult to become friends even if we didn’t want to.

After getting acquainted, he also talked to me about Wu Wenyan for the first time while avoiding everyone. He told me that he had been paying attention to Wu Wenyan before he was admitted to the United States, and asked someone to talk to Professor Wu. But it was at this time that the United States also stepped in and made a big splash. It's obvious that he is using his power to bully others. On this point, he said many words of gratitude and compliments to me. I believe what he said from the bottom of his heart.

That's right. If there were no US talent to cause trouble, I think he and Wu Wenyan would be a good match. However, after being reconciled to the United States, there was no possibility for him and Wu Wenyan. Although Wu Wenyan and I are in a fake relationship, there will be no results in the future. But now that the show has reached this point, I can’t stop and can’t go back. Although we both knew it in our hearts, we could only sigh and be helpless. Obviously, Professor Wu Wu Wenyan chose to take advantage of me at that time, which was also a helpless move. Without me stepping forward, Wu Wenyan's life would have been completely ruined at the hands of the United States.

From then on, whenever I saw Mi Zhongliang again, I would feel a vague sense of guilt in my heart, as if I really owed him something. What did I owe him? fart!
