Chapter 6 Amy: I will never change until death (3)-1

Shi Yan walked out of the hospital nervously all the way, but found that no one noticed them, so she was a little discouraged, so she didn't bother to do any underground work, and generously "connected" with Huang Hai to discuss the next action plan .The result of the discussion is to save half and waste half, first take the bus to the train station, and then call a taxi to enter the mountain. But when they got off the bus at the train station, they found that things were not that simple.They stopped several cars in a row, but no business was negotiated.None of the drivers wanted to go to the place they mentioned, and they all said that there was no road for cars and they couldn't drive in.One driver reluctantly agreed, but asked them to pay 200 yuan, which almost made both of them stick out their tongues and couldn't get it back.

The two had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking a taxi, bought a few steamed buns in a small restaurant, and walked into the mountains while eating.After walking for a while, Shi Yan's back was soaked with sweat, Huang Hai was even more so, the whole shirt was soaked, and it was dripping on her body, even her two nipples flickered.Shi Yan asked worriedly: "Can you walk this far?" "No problem, I can do it, as long as I encounter a mine accident now, if I don't leave, I will be buried alive in the mine—" She thinks his method of self-encouragement is very strange, but it is also very effective. She also imagines that she has encountered a mine accident and was buried underground. Now every step she takes is a step away from death and closer to the hope of survival. One step, thinking about it this way, it seems that the weather is not so hot, and people are not so tired.She asked curiously: "You said those workers who encountered mine accidents, what were they thinking at the end?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm thinking about how to survive—" "But they must know in the end that they -- they can't live -- what will they think then?" "Maybe I'm trying my best to remember my relatives on the ground—the most cherished thing—" The two walked in silence for a while, and he whispered, "If I was buried in the well someday, I must think of—today --Now--" She didn't understand it for a while, but after a while, she realized that he was saying that she was his relative and the most precious thing to him, but she was not sure, and she didn't want to talk about it Digging deeper, I just rambled and said: "You--you always interview these things, do you often--think of these things?"

Huang Hai nodded: "I often think about it." "Isn't that--making your own life very--miserable?" "My own life has been miserable—but misery can be divided into major misery and minor misery. I was once an unhappy person, and I felt that fate was unfair to me, so that I was born with—with such a Permanent flaw, when I was living in a little miserable world, and the whole world pretended to be miserable. If you remember, my letters to you were all--blaming stuff--" She nodded, and he continued: "But since I went to Wangjiagang and saw so many poor people living there in a - very closed - very - ignorant environment, my miserable world is - —Changed, Miserable is still Miserable, but not the little Miserables I used to be, but a—bigger Miserables—”

She asked tactfully: "Then do you think that your interviews and investigations are of any use to changing this big - Les Miserables world?" "Whether it's useful or not can only be known after doing it. If you don't do it, how will you know if it's useful or not? It doesn't work this time, it doesn't mean it won't work next time; it doesn't work once, it doesn't mean it won't work after doing it many times. I only do this Only then do I feel at ease, otherwise, I always feel that those who died or absented from work are looking at me with grievances—”

Already in the mountains, surrounded by dark rocky hills with no vegetation, she suddenly felt as if there were some people standing on those hills, staring at them questioningly, she couldn't help shivering, and whispered: "Quickly don't let me go!" You said it, I was so scared—" He didn't go any further, just comforted and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm just talking about some of my wild thoughts-I feel that since I walked into such a big miserable world, it seems that I have come from my own little miserable world. Came out—I just want to help other people out of their miserable world—”

"So have you ever thought of any other way to--help these people?" "Of course I've thought about it, but I haven't found anything more effective. Do you—have any suggestions?" She faltered and said, "Where do I have any suggestions? As a person, I am too busy with my own affairs, so I don't have the heart to help others—" "You are too humble. In fact, you are a very kind person and you care about others. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here with me." Shi Yan felt very good after receiving this high hat, and felt that she was indeed kind-hearted, at least she had no intention of harming others, and sometimes she could help others.An ambition welled up in her heart, and she hoped that she would be able to find the "pork belly", get the draft of the letter, find out the truth of the mine accident in one fell swoop, punish a group of corrupt officials who disregard human lives, and Save a group of poor people who are suffering.She didn't even want to study in this ruined teacher's academy anymore, so she went to work as a reporter with Huang Hai and did a few spectacular things.

But before she reached the door of "Pork Belly", her ambitions faded a bit, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition: she would definitely have a bad start today.She is like this every time, when she doesn't care about something, that thing is dangling in front of her eyes, dangling back and forth, and when she starts to care, that thing will definitely disappear.Like she ran so far today to get the draft of that letter, it would be too strange if "Pork Belly" was waiting there with the letter in her hands. Sure enough, when they came to the shed where "Pork Belly" lived and reached out to knock on the door, they found that the door was ajar.They knocked politely and called a few more times, but no one answered.

Huang Hai said: "You wait here, I'll go in and take a look." He opened the door and walked in carefully. Shi Yan waited outside the door, feeling very nervous, fearing that there might be an ambush or a trap inside. After a while, she didn't see Huang Hai coming out, so she couldn't help shouting: "Huang Hai? What are you doing? Come out!" Huang Hai replied from inside: "You can come in too, there is no one inside—" Shi Yan also walked into the shed carefully, and saw that it was empty, with nothing left and no one there. Huang Hai was groping under the stone stool, on the window sill, and behind the stove, but found nothing except the dust in his hands. .She asked nervously, "Did someone catch 'pork belly'?"

"have no idea." "Maybe 'Pork Belly' took your money and ran away without a draft?" "I hope so. It's probably the best scenario, and if something goes wrong with my interview, I'll be guilty of it for the rest of my life—" She comforted and said, "She must have taken your money and ran away. You see, she took everything away. If she was caught, the house would definitely be a mess—" "You're right, let's look around and see if anyone knows where she went—" They came out of the shed where "Pork Belly" lived, and walked for a long time before they saw the place where the miners lived.Huang Hai found a miner and asked him if he knew the whereabouts of Wu Hehua who lived in a shed halfway up the mountain.

The miner was stunned for a long time before he said: "Oh, you said 'pork belly'? Then you just said 'pork belly', what did you say 'Wu lotus', I thought about it for a long time, I have never heard of her From this name, I know she is 'Pork Belly'. If you don't say that she lives in the middle of the mountain, I really can't figure out who you are looking for. She doesn't live there? Where else can she go?" "Do you know who's here--who knows where she is?" The man squinted his eyes and looked at Huang Hai for a while, and said, "Why are you looking for her?" "I'm from the newspaper, and I have something important to do with her—" The man was in awe: "From the newspaper? That's the person from above. I'll take you to Lao Liu, he must know where she is—" Under the leadership of the miner, they found Lao Liu, a man in his forties or fifties, thin and dry, with coal black in the wrinkles of his face.When Lao Liu heard that they were looking for "pork belly", he complained: "I don't know where she went, this tricky woman, no wonder you asked me to 'offer' at the beginning of the month, she must have made a good plan to make money. I got one vote—” Lao Liu took Huang Hai to find several miners, probably all of them were "side sets" of "pork belly", but they didn't know where "pork belly" went. Most of them said that "pork belly" took their money and fled. Only one kid with squinting eyes said maliciously: "I said she must not have escaped, her bitch, she can't sleep without being fucked? She must have been taken away by the mine police—" Huang Hai hurriedly asked: "What else do you know? Have you seen the mine police coming here?" Slanted eyes said: "I won't tell you if I saw it. I told you. If you write it in the newspaper, I still have good fruit to eat?" Later, no matter how much Huang Hai interrogated, or even made a wish to pay, he squinted and refused to say anything. He just smiled evilly and spit all over the place and said, "That bitch, others don't know, but I don't know? She has something here. With so many people fucking her, she feels comfortable day and night, is she willing to run away?" Huang Hai took Shi Yan to visit many miners who were off duty at home. Everyone said they didn't know where the "pork belly" went, so they had to go back home.When they walked back to the train station, Huang Hai was already drenched in sweat and was about to collapse.The two decided to go to a small restaurant to eat something first, and then take the bus, otherwise, they might not even be able to get on the bus. The two sat down in the small restaurant, and Shi Yan asked worriedly: "Are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?" "I'm fine, maybe I haven't eaten for several days, I'm hungry, just eat something." After the two ate something, Huang Hai's complexion really improved."So what do we do now?" she asked. "I'll find a place to live first. If you have something to do, you can go back to school first." "I'm fine, I'll go find a hotel with you." The two of them found a very simple small hotel in a secluded street, Huang Hai registered and checked in, Shi Yan helped him settle down, and got up to leave.Huang Hai warned: "Don't tell other people about my living here, and we don't want to meet again, so as not to hurt you, I will call you in the name of your cousin if something happens." Seeing that he was so cautious, she even pulled out the "cousin" who is often seen in underground party stories, and she also became nervous: "Did you find out that someone is following us?" "No, it's just a precautionary measure. It's not a big mistake to be careful. I'm afraid it will hurt you—" On the way back to school, Shi Yan kept turning her head and looking behind her, fearing that someone was following her, but she didn't seem to have even a human hair. I don't know if the stalkers were highly skilled, or there was no one following her at all.As soon as she arrived at the dormitory, Yao Xiaoping came in with a lunch box. As soon as she saw her, she asked, "Where did you go today? You didn't even attend class—did you go to Huang Hai's place?" She nodded and lied, "He's very sick and needs someone to take care of him, and I was in the hospital—spent a day—" "Don't lie to me, you two are not in the hospital at all, you must have gone to find 'pork belly'." She couldn't help asking: "How do you know we're not in the hospital?" Yao Xiaoping smiled inscrutably and said, "Hmph, what can you hide from me? Did Huang Hai tell you not to tell me? I didn't ask him to look for him, a thankless guy. He might still be lying in bed until now." Waiting to die in the infectious disease hospital, he didn't thank me, and treated me as an outsider? Let's see if I can help him in the future!" Shi Yan quickly cleared things up for Huang Hai: "He didn't treat you as an outsider, and he didn't ask me to keep it a secret from you. I was going to tell you, but you turned out to be faster than me—" Yao Xiaoping stopped pretending to be angry, and asked with concern: "How is he? Is he all right?" "Better than yesterday—" "Of course, why don't you go? How can he be better?" Yao Xiaoping said with a smile, "It's not easy for you to stay with him for a day. Had a nightmare." Shi Yan felt uncomfortable when she heard Yao Xiaoping talking about Huang Hai like this, but she couldn't find anything to refute, so she could only avoid talking about it. Yao Xiaoping thoughtfully stopped talking about it: "Where is he now? Has he returned to the hospital?" "No--" "He's smart, if he goes back to the hospital, I'll have to follow you around looking for him tomorrow—" Shi Yan heard something in Yao Xiaoping's words, and hurriedly asked: "Is it you——heard something?" Yao Xiaoping said, "Did you find 'pork belly'?" Shi Yan knew that if she didn't tell the truth to Yao Xiaoping, she wouldn't want to know what the half of the conversation Yao Xiaoping swallowed, and Yao Xiaoping seemed to know more than she did, and there was nothing to keep secret, so she said: "No, She may have moved away—” "Could it be that instead of moving away, it's - being - driven away?" "have no idea--" "Did someone—take him away?" Shi Yan became more and more nervous: "I——really don't know—" Yao Xiaoping blamed and said: "Look, look, have you caused trouble for others? Originally, 'Pork Belly' lived like this, and it was quite nourishing. She didn't have to suffer and suffer from that job. Which married woman wouldn't do that? They can still make money if they do it, which is more affordable than us married women. Now that it’s done well, your investigation will make it difficult for others to live in a working shed that is about to collapse, and they don’t even have money Got it. I think she was either driven back to the country, or caught by the mine—” Shi Yan almost begged, "The mine won't arrest her, right? Why can they arrest her?" "Why arrest her? You can arrest her just because of her work, accuse her of prostitution, and sentence her to ten or eight years—" This is quite possible, she asked unwillingly: "But then—those—why didn't the ones who pulled the rims on her get caught?" Yao Xiaoping laughed: "What else do you know about 'pull the edge'? It's not easy. It seems that you have learned a lot of nonsense from this Huang Hai. Where is Huang Hai? Where is he now?" Shi Yan hesitated. Yao Xiaoping smiled and said: "Forget it, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. I don't like to inquire about other people's affairs. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I just think that he is your friend. Want to help him—” "Do you think they will catch Huang Hai?" "It's not likely to be arrested, because there is no legitimate reason, but it is entirely possible to get him secretly. Maybe they are responsible for his food poisoning. It is a warning to him, but he doesn't know what to do, and is still continuing to investigate. , this time they won't spare him so lightly." "Then what to do?" "What should we do? Why don't you tell him to leave here?" Yao Xiaoping added, "Not only him, but you too. If they saw you with him, maybe even you would do it together. And me , we all have to be careful—” "How careful?" Yao Xiaoping thought for a while and said, "I don't know how to be careful, but you'd better tell Huang Hai to leave here." "But I—don't have his phone—he said he called me if he needed—" "Then go for it yourself." Like a headless fly, Shi Yan ran a few steps towards the door, then turned back: "He told me not to meet him now—" "It seems that he is not stupid, and he knows that he is in trouble. Why don't you tell me where he is now, and I can help you?" Shi Yan thought it was not good to do this, wouldn't this implicate Yao Xiaoping?She thought for a while, and said, "Let me go find him, so as not to implicate you." "Do you want me to go with you?" "Forget it, I'll go alone." "Then be careful, it's so late, when you come back, it will be dark." Yao Xiaoping suddenly suggested, "I think it's better to ask Zhuoyue to help you find a car, or what if something happens?" Shi Yan waved her hands again and again: "No, no, Huang Hai said that you can't let Zhuoyue know about this—" "Why? Afraid that Zhuoyue will leak the news?" Yao Xiaoping was filled with righteous indignation, "This Huang Hai really has no clear fronts, no distinction between friends and enemies, so much care for friends, but so naive and credulous towards enemies, there is really nothing to do with him, is it possible? Can't he see that we are all helping him? Did he prevent us? What a dog bites Lu Dongbin—he doesn't know a good heart. To tell you the truth, it was Zhuoyou who asked Yan Jing to come to you, and he didn't meet you before asking I sent word. I didn't want to expose him just now, because he said don't tell you that the news came from him--" "What news? Rigorously asked you to pass—what message?" "Jiao Zhuo said that the people from the Infectious Disease Hospital found that Huang Hai had escaped today, so they notified the steel factory, and now the people from the steel factory are looking for Huang Hai everywhere. They knew from the hospital that Zhuo Zhuo met Huang Hai at the hospital yesterday, so they ran to look for him. Zhuo Zhuo, ask him if he knows the whereabouts of Huang Hai. Zhuo Zhuo is really a good person. Not only did he not tell the people in the steel factory about Huang Hai’s whereabouts, but he also kindly informed you. Angry--" Shi Yan quickly cleaned up for Huang Hai: "Actually, it wasn't Huang Hai who said not to tell Zhuoyue, it was me. We just met Zhuo Liang, and we don't know each other. I'm afraid—anyway, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. --" "Then you still don't believe in others' excellence? Do you still want to guard against them?" "He—why didn't he come and tell me himself, be strict—come forward?" "His goal is a bit big, he is afraid of exposing you—" When Shi Yan heard that this was the case, she really panicked and said tremblingly: "Then I will inform Huang Hai now—" Yao Xiaoping suggested: "If you know which hotel he lives in, you can dial 114 to check the phone number, and then you can just call the hotel. Don't go there yourself, be careful that someone will follow you, expose the target, and even kill you." gone." Just as Shi Yan was about to leave, Yao Xiaoping thought of something again: "Wait, this is a phone number given by Zhuoyue. It's a friend of his in City E, who can buy train tickets from City E to City F. He said it is a phone number that can Trusted friend, Huang Hai can go to this person to buy a train ticket—” Shi Yan gratefully accepted the note from Zhuoyou, and immediately ran downstairs to call Huang Hai, first dialed 114, finally got the number of Huang Hai Hotel, almost dialed all the hotel numbers, but saw the concierge beside him curiously Staring at her frightened her. Afraid that the concierge heard something and ran to report it, she put down the phone and ran to a private phone booth outside the school to make a call. Finally, I found Huang Hai. Hearing her voice, Huang Hai asked in surprise, "What's the matter? Are you—are you in trouble?" "I'm fine, you're in trouble," she told Yao Xiaoping and Zhuoyue in full, urging her, "Hurry up, don't let them catch you—" Huang Hai hesitated and said: "But I can't leave now, I'm going to 'Pork Belly''s hometown in the countryside tomorrow to find her—" She said anxiously: "I think you can forget about it. It's important to save your life now, so let's leave the manuscript for later—" "It's not just about the manuscript, the main thing is to know if she has it now—because I've been implicated—" She felt that he meant what he said, as if he was going to be a son-in-law, and she felt a little unhappy, and advised: "You are a real person, so what if you are implicated? Are you really going to marry her?" "That's not necessarily true, just to confirm that she wasn't implicated for me—" Shi Yan was in a hurry: "How can you say that you can't wake up? You are afraid of hurting her, so won't you hurt her even more if you go now?" Huang Hai seemed to be dumbfounded, and he said after a while: "They shouldn't arrest me, right? Why should they arrest me? At most they can only plot me secretly, but arrest me openly? What evidence is there? They know that I am In the infectious disease hospital for a few days, if they wanted to do something, they would have done it long ago, they wouldn't wait until I went to the 'pork belly' house, would they?" She was even more anxious: "Why are you so stupid? If 'Pork Belly' fled back to the countryside, they must have sent someone to watch her. Once you go, can't they arrest the two of you together? I'll wear it for you." A—that—a hat with a 'pull brim' will do, and I'll sentence you to ten or eight years, anyway, 'Pork Belly' has a good reputation for doing that—" Huang Hai said: "Your analysis is right, I listen to you, I will leave City D immediately. Then what do you do? You also interviewed 'Pork Belly' with me, what if they want to attack you? Or you- - Leave City D with me too?" Leave City D with him?Shi Yan hadn't thought about this trick yet, some stories flashed in her mind, she didn't know where to read them, it seemed to be about the underground party, those male and female underground workers, for the convenience of work, pretended to be husband and wife, but later the fake show was real , had feelings, and became a real husband and wife.She realized that it was absurd that she was still thinking about the plot of the story at such a moment, but she hadn't seen the real danger, so she always felt a bit of a play, sometimes she was really anxious, and sometimes she seemed to be in a hurry. It's like watching a movie, you just don't know whether you are an audience or an actor. She replied, "How can I leave D City? I have to go to class—" "How can you rest assured that you stay here?" "It's all right," she reassured him. "If they want to catch me, they can catch me if I run to the sky—" "Isn't that reasonable to me? If they want to catch me, they can still catch me after I leave City D—" Shi Yan was left speechless by the question, and after thinking for a while, she said: "But you are not from D City, you are going to leave D City anyway, why don't you leave sooner? Do you have to get them to start?" Are you leaving again?" "But I don't feel relieved if I don't go to the hometown of 'Pork Belly'—I will stay one more day—should—" "How about I help you go to her hometown to find out—" Huang Hai resolutely objected: "No, no, I am determined not to let you get involved in this matter again, I have already implicated you and brought you a lot of trouble—" Now Shi Yan knows how to persuade Huang Hai to leave City D: "Then you should leave City D as soon as possible, otherwise, I will have to go to the hometown of 'Pork Belly' for you." Huang Hai was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, I'll leave City D right away, and I'll leave now, and I can still take the evening bus to City E——When I get there—I'll try to buy a ticket back to City F——" She hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhao Zhuo said——He has a friend in City E who can buy a sleeper ticket to City F. He told you to go to his friend to buy a ticket. He said——That friend is trustworthy. of--" Huang Hai didn't say anything, but Shi Yan reckoned that his face must be ugly, so she bit the bullet and said: "This is his friend's phone number, I told you, please remember—" Unexpectedly, Huang Hai said obediently: "Okay, you can tell—" Shi Yan told Huang Hai the phone number, and asked with concern: "Do you have enough money?" "That's enough, don't you worry about me, I'm--I'll be fine--I'm just worried about you--" "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Be careful in the future—" "I know—" Both of them were silent. When exhorting each other like this, Shi Yan felt like she was in the play again, as if this was not a parting message in times of crisis, but rehearsing lines for a play.She couldn't remember what the people in the movie said up to this point, but she heard Huang Hai say softly, "Shi Yan'er, I—I really don't know—how to thank you, you——helped me So much—I'll never forget—" A "Shi Yan'er" brought her back to the time when she was in high school with him. At that time, everyone in her class called her "Shi Yan'er". It was her custom. After some names, people would call her "Shi Yaner". The word "er" is added, which is a soft word, and it is pronounced after the previous word.Some characters may be difficult to pronounce as names, so the people at her place added the word "er" to make it easier to pronounce.Whether or not to add this "er" is determined by the last word of the name. For example, "Huang Hai" will not be called "Huang Haier", because "海" is the so-called "open mouth" when pronounced with the mouth open. Big enough to grow well.But "Yan" is different. It is the so-called "chuukouhu". When pronouncing it, the mouth is not wide enough, and the word "er" is not added, so it is not so convenient to pronounce. After coming to the teacher’s college, she was rarely called that, because the people in the class came from all corners of the country. Although most of them were from E province, everyone’s hometown dialect was different.I don't know who made the rule, but everyone in the class calls each other by surname, so many people call her "Shi". Huang Hai also called her "Shi Yan'er" before, but he never called her "Shi Yan'er" when he wrote letters, and he didn't seem to call her that way this time.On the day of parting today, he suddenly called out in such a low voice, which made her feel a little bit of reluctance, and a thought of "reluctant goodbye" popped up in her mind, and it seemed that someone was narrating in her ear : "See? This is called 'Yiyi Saying Farewell'" She was distracted for a while, then returned to reality, and urged: "Stop saying these kind words, hurry up and take the train, and remember to tell me when you get back to University A safely——" After making the phone call, Shi Yan was relieved, and walked back to the dormitory with ease, only to find that everyone had gone to the study room, only Yao Xiaoping was sitting leisurely by the bed knitting a sweater, and when she saw her back, she beckoned mysteriously She went over: "Come on, let me talk to you." Shi Yan walked to Yao Xiaoping's bed and asked, "Why didn't you go to the study room?" "waiting for you--" She thought it was about Huang Hai again, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? What did you hear again—news?" "Jing asked us to play cards tonight, will you go?" She breathed a sigh of relief: "Playing cards? Just met, why did you think of asking us to play cards?" "Maybe I want to find a chance to be with me." Seeing the proud look on Yao Xiaoping's face, Shi Yan suddenly understood why Yao Xiaoping asked her "how is being rigorous" yesterday.She regretted that she said "short" and "hiccup" yesterday, but how could she have thought of Yao Xiaoping's meaning?In her mind, a married woman is not interested in any other man.She joked: "You ran to play cards with Yan Jing, are you afraid that your 'black paint bench' will break your legs?" "How would he know? Are you going to inform me on the black lacquered bench?" "My mouth isn't that long." She wondered curiously, how could there be only three people playing cards?There must be another person, maybe it is Zhuoyou, she became a little interested and asked, "Just the three of us?" "Strictness will find someone—" "Are you looking for—Excellence?" "It must be. There are rigors, but there is no excellence? They wear jumpsuits." "The two of them are so far apart in age, how can they wear crotch pants?" "You're mistaken. Excellence and Rigorousness are about the same age. Both are only twenty-six or seven. It's only been two years since Zhuo Zhuo graduated as a graduate student." Shi Yan didn't expect Zhuoyue to be so young, so he became happy for no reason, and asked: "Then how did he and Yan Jing become good friends? Yan Jing also graduated from K University?" "No, rigor is what we graduated from the Teachers College." "After graduating from the teacher's college, can you become a teacher in the teacher's college?" "Then what school do you think the teachers in the teacher's college should have graduated from?" "I thought—at least it's a better school than the Teacher's College, right?" "Who would want to come to this crappy place for someone who graduated from a school better than the Teacher's College?" "Then how did Excellence come about?" Yao Xiaoping was stopped by the question, but she didn't seem to be in the mood to discuss this issue, but told Shi Yan sincerely: "I also want to stay in school, otherwise, I can only go back to the county to teach. I don’t even want to go back to that shitty place—” Shi Yan knew that there was a regulation in Provincial Teachers College of C that graduates could only enter the education entrance and could not enter other units, but she was always preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, so she never worried about the assignment.She persuaded Yao Xiaoping: "Why do you want to go back to that poor place to teach? Can't you teach elsewhere?" "My eldest lady, you really came out of an ivory tower. You don't know anything about the world. I can go out to study because I signed a contract with our county. I will go back there after graduation, otherwise I won't Why would the bloody father-in-law let me go out to study? Isn't he afraid that I will go to other places after studying and dump his son?" Shi Yan urged: "You have to go back after signing a contract with him? Isn't he the principal of a county?" "When you enter the county, you will know how powerful the principal of the county is," Yao Xiaoping said. What kind of 'dongdongguai' are you going to teach?" Shi Yan grinned: "Go back to "Dongdongguai"? Don't be kidding me! How could I go back to that place? Isn't it just to get out of that place after studying hard? Go back there after reading? That's really crazy I don’t even want to stay in D City—” "Then where are you going?" "I'm going to graduate school—" "What about before the postgraduate entrance examination?" "Before what?" "You have to work for a few years to take the postgraduate entrance examination. You can't stay at home and let your parents support you these few years, right? Then where is your household registration?" Shi Yan seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the blue: "What? How many years do you have to work for the postgraduate entrance examination? Who stipulates it?" "It's definitely not my rule. After a long time, you still don't know? Our teacher's college has regulations. In order to ensure the quality of teachers in primary and secondary schools, fresh graduates of the teacher's college are not allowed to apply for postgraduate exams—" "What? There are such regulations? Isn't this a local policy?" "Policies are all local. No matter how foreign policies are down here, they will be transformed into local ones for you. Anyway, no matter whether it is local policies or foreign policies, this policy is enough." "Then what should I do? I've always wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination as soon as I graduate," Shi Yan was so anxious that she began to cry. "In the past few years, if this hope hadn't supported me, I really don't know—how could I have survived?" --" Yao Xiaoping joked: "Isn't that good? This illusory dream has helped you survive these years, and you have to thank it—" "Don't be kidding, I'm serious, if fresh graduates really can't take the postgraduate entrance examination, what should I do?" "What to do, first find a job and work for a few years before talking." "How many years? Then—then—" Yao Xiaoping put down the sweater in her hand and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go to Yan Jing's place to play cards, don't wait for him." "How can I care about playing cards now? I'm so anxious—" "What's the use of getting angry?" "Then playing cards is useful?" Yao Xiaoping said eloquently: "There is an old saying in our country, which is 'It is better to grind outside than to sit in the house'. Now you stay at home and think hard, but you can't think of any solution, so you still go out with me to 'grind' one." Grind it—" "I'm really not in the mood to play cards—" "You think I like to play this card? According to my virtue, if I have time to go there to play cards, it would be better to stay in the dormitory and play sweaters—" Shi Yan looked at Yao Xiaoping blankly: "Then you can knit your sweater in the dormitory, I'm going to the self-study room—" "You just know how to study hard. If you go to the self-study room, you can change the land policy of the teacher's college?" "Then—we can change the teacher's college's land policy by playing cards?" "Of course playing cards can't change the local policy of the teacher's college, but—hey, do you know? My strict father is the physical education teacher of our teacher's college, and the professor—" Shi Yan couldn't think of the relationship between the physical education professor of the normal college and her postgraduate entrance examination. Yao Xiaoping inspired: "As you said, rigorousness is a graduate of the normal college. How can he be a teacher in the normal college? Of course it is his father. It worked a little bit. Don’t think his father is just a teacher of physical education, but he used to be a famous gymnast in our province. He seems to have won rankings in the whole country or the world. It’s a pity that the anti-rightist It was a little unlucky at the time, and he was labeled as a rightist, and he was driven to work in our countryside. Later, when the policy was implemented, President Qiu of our teacher's college personally came out, and Sangu Maolu invited him out of the mountain to come to our teacher's college. teaching—” Shi Yan still couldn't see how her rigorous father could be related to her postgraduate study. Could it be that Yao Xiaoping wanted her to change to a postgraduate study in the Department of Physical Education?That seems a bit too difficult. She is good at ball games, but not in track and field.She asked stupidly: "The strict father——can he help me apply for a postgraduate entrance examination?" Yao Xiaoping said: "Don't be so direct. You immediately think of whether others can help you apply for graduate school. Isn't this too eager for quick success?" Shi Yan said shyly, "I'm mainly—I want to be a graduate student too much——can my strict father help me?" 姚小萍呵呵笑起来：“你看，你看，说你太急功近利了吧？完全是念念不忘，你待会可别一进门就问严谨这问题啊。帮忙这种事，事前很难说谁帮得上，谁帮不上，所以一定要广种才能博收，平时相关不相关的人，都要搞好关系，说不定哪天就用得上。” “那严谨的爸爸－－” “我也不知道，要看他爸爸跟学校领导的关系，还要看当时的情况－－。走吧，我们边走边说，不然搞太晚了，他们找别人打牌去了－－” 石燕一听“他们”，就想当然地认为是卓越，突然觉得有打扮一番的必要，匆忙说：“你等我一下，我去换件衣服－－” “换什么衣服？你这身就挺好的，你打扮太漂亮，人家还以为你喜欢上他了呢－－” 她不知道姚小萍说的这个“他”是谁，但她觉得除了卓越，好像也没别人，因为她们只认识这两个人，而严谨明显的是姚小萍的，那剩下的就只有卓越了。她不好意思再提换衣服的事，有点勉强地说：“那就不换了吧，其实也不是为了漂亮，主要是－－” 她想不出“主要是”为了什么，干脆把话吞了不说了。两人出发到严谨那里去打牌，姚小萍说严谨住在北区青年教工楼，两人就往那边走，还很有几步路，因为北区是学校前两年才买下的一片农田，离校区有点远，刚开始兴建，路也不大好，坑坑洼洼的，地上东一堆水泥板，西一堆砖瓦什么的，很没有规划。 但姚小萍仿佛看见了仙山琼宇一样，很向往地说：“看见没有？师院现在很重视住房建设，因为D 市大环境不好，如果师院再不把住房的小环境搞好一点的话，那就没人来了，来了也留不住－－” “那我们学生宿舍－－怎么还是这么个样子？” “学生还怕留不住？你录到师院来了，就等于卖给它了，喜欢不喜欢你都得呆在这里，你嫌住得不好，你又能到哪里去？” 快到一栋已经建好而且住了人的楼房跟前时，姚小萍嘱咐说：“喂，跟你说呀，呆会别对人说我是结了婚的－－”
