Chapter 99 Section VI

Liu Xu soon met Luo Yang after going to work. They both worked in the office building of the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. The Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources is a unit directly under the province, and every year it arranges some college graduates according to the national plan indicators.Before Liu Xu was assigned here, there were four other people from Lanzhou University, three men and one woman, and they were also educated youths who had been sent to the countryside.Now they have reached the same goal by different routes. In this office building, a cup of tea and a newspaper can pass the day.It is a frustrating situation for a young man who has had a rough past and is young.In less than a year, the students from the four key colleges all left. Two of the boys volunteered to work as technicians in the geological team under them, and one went to the metallurgical industry.They all said that they were training at the grassroots level, but everyone knew that if a person did not have a considerable background or ability, there would be no way out for such an institution.This is a more sensible choice, because educated young people like them who have been dealing with the soil for several years can stand out and enter prestigious schools, and they can be regarded as capable and capable people in the countryside; Institutions directly under the provincial government that gather talents are like goldfish trapped in a glass tank—it looks like the future is bright, but there is absolutely no way out, so they have to jump out of the glass tank with the spirit of sacrificing their lives.As for the future and the way out, it depends on luck.Fortunately, they are still young, they have been tempered, and their young bodies and the tempers they have experienced can become the capital of "choosing".For many years, "scars" have become the biggest theme in most of the literature and film and television works that reflect the intellectual youths going to the mountains and the countryside, but the authors have ignored the capital accumulated by the intellectual youths from the bloody "scars". Some of them thrived as the heralds of employees firing leaders and employees firing bosses.After more than ten years, job hopping and boss firing have finally become popular among college students, becoming another lifestyle pursued by young people.

The beautiful girl from Lanzhou has an absolute advantage.She first married the son of a certain leader of the municipal government, and was soon transferred to a radio station as an anchor.According to the female student's original idea, she should be a host on a TV station.But her Weng-in-law's family thought that it was not appropriate for her to show her face in her current capacity, so she took the next best thing and went to the radio station.Whenever the female anchor's sweet and slightly magnetic voice lingers in Sand City, it will always make many people fantasize. Everyone who should go has gone, only Luo Yang and Liu Xu are left.At that time, Luo Yang didn't have that much courage, so he changed his unit when he said that he would change his unit.And Liu Xu didn't have to leave, her mother was in the position of deputy director of the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.

Liu Xu and Luo Yang go in and out of the same building every day.Luo Yang no longer called Sister Liu Xu like before, but he would send her home every day.They each rode a bicycle, crossed the intersection in front of the office building, walked along the road, and then turned into a forest path to the family area of ​​the Bureau of Geology and Mining.He watched her go upstairs, then rode away on her bicycle.She never asked him if he loved her, and she even forgot that he had refused to marry her in Shahu Village.But she thinks that the state they are in now is love, that is, they are of one heart and one mind.Even the deputy director's mother, who had never cared much about her, thought she would get married soon, so she rejected many marriage offers that came to her.Although her mother doesn't like her, she is her own daughter after all.A deputy director's daughter always has suitors who come here especially for her reputation.

Soon Liu Xu understands that the situation she and Luo Yang are in does not represent love.She also knew that when Luo Yang just returned to Shacheng, he met a girl named Maisui.Liu Xu had seen her before.One day after get off work, they pushed their bicycles out of the office building as usual. When they crossed the intersection, the girl named Maisui was standing in the other direction of the intersection, looking at Luo Yang affectionately with the eyes of a young girl.After Luo Yang saw the girl, he quickly turned a corner at the intersection and ran towards her, so that he didn't turn his head to say goodbye to Liu Xu who was following him.

Liu Xu, who stopped at the intersection, suddenly felt that the appearance of the girl named Maisui meant something to her.In the more than ten years when she and Luo Yang met and got along, he was just a sojourner, a passerby.Although she has paid a lot for him, she has never occupied his heart, or he only regards her as his sister.Once he has an ideal goal, he will definitely leave her without hesitation.At this time, the target had already appeared, and Pingting was standing not far away, and Luo Yang rushed towards her eagerly.Looking at the backs of them leaving side by side, Liu Xu felt like a dead leaf that had passed the season and was thrown on the street. She couldn't help but tears blurred her eyes.But Liu Xu quickly suppressed the tears that burst out of her eyes, and a persistent and firm light flashed in her eyes, as if a dying person had been injected with a booster.At this moment, holding back her tears, she decided to use all her strength and fanaticism to defend her long-cherished love.

Later, Liu Xu thought that maybe she was pushing too hard, so Luo Yang resigned and left the lifeless Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, that is, leaving her.This accelerated her disillusionment with ideal love.Because in the view of my mother who is the deputy director, no matter what the reason is, a person who can leave his official job is a person who does not love his job, is not doing his job properly, and is also a person who is extremely irresponsible to himself and others .The mother began to firmly oppose her continuing to associate with Luo Yang.It was her mother's strict control that forced Liu Xu to resign from the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and move out of her mother's house.She wanted Luo Yang to clearly see the sacrifice she had made for him, and she hoped that he would return to her after he understood, even if it was only out of gratitude or guilt, even if he only called her sister.

But Liu Xu never thought that gratitude or guilt cannot bring love, nor can it be interpreted as family affection.Soon after, her mother died of colon cancer, and it was impossible for her to return to her stepfather's house.She felt that she was really homeless, and only Luo Yang was left in her life.No matter what the ending is, she must hold it tightly in her hands.
