Chapter 13 first vacation after work

In Erdaoguai Primary School, a family of five sat and chatted in the main room, while Hou Haiyang shrank aside, listening to his sister and brother-in-law talk about university and Guangdong's Longmenzhen.Following his sister's narration, he imagined a picture of studying at a university in his mind. This imagined picture was enlarged on the basis of a technical secondary school, and there was a romantic taste in it. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Huling, Hou Zhengli and Hou Haiyang went to see the construction site together, and the old couple stayed in the house.

Du Xiaohua said: "It seems that the second baby is going to Guangdong with my sister. Duan Yan has studied in the health school, she is willing to go to Guangdong, and my second baby has studied in the middle school, so she can go too." Hou Houde said: "Duan Yan is different from Erwa. First, she studied in a health school, which is a technical school, which is different from a technical secondary school. Second, she has not found a formal job yet, and Erwa is a formal teacher; The third Duanyan is a woman, and she will have no worries about food and clothing when she marries someone else in the future, and the second child is a man, so if you want to start a career, you have to rely on yourself."

Du Xiaohua knew that the father and son were both gangsters, so she could only persuade her from both sides: "Erwa's work in the village school is not satisfactory, and he has conflicts with the vice principal. He has this in mind." Speaking of Xinxiang, Hou Houde became angry and said: "This is self-destruction of the Great Wall. I don't know how to cherish it. It is unforgivable. If you continue to maintain this way of doing things, you will not be happy no matter where you go. If you don't change your mind, you will change your mind." It’s just a daydream that the environment will do on its own.”

At the construction site by the river, the Hou family siblings also talked about it. Hou Zhengli said: "Generally, when people go to Guangdong to work, they have to enter factories. In the first few years, they have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties. Duan Yan followed us, and naturally avoided these hardships. Duan San is very smart and has a good plan. Fine. Huling, what can she do as a school health student?" Zhang Huling was indifferent to this matter: "Duan San has a deep relationship with Uncle Hou, we will definitely help. First go to your decoration company to do some housework, and if she is savvy, then arrange her to join another company." He said to Hou Haiyang Said: "Hang Hai, when you arrive in Guangdong, you have to start from the lowest level, and you have to prepare hard. The master leads you in, and you have to rely on yourself to practice. I believe you have more understanding than Duan Yan."

Hou Haiyang's grades were excellent since he was a child, and he never took Duan Yan seriously. He said: "It's nothing to suffer a little when I was young. I have absolutely no problem. The only thing I worry about is that I don't have a major and don't know what I can do." Zhang Huling encouraged with a smile: "If you have a major, you can be an engineer, and if you don't have a major, you can be a boss." The three talked while walking, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they looked down and their eyes widened.On one side of the ridge there is a meandering river, as bright as a jade belt, and on the other side are lush forests and well-organized farmland.

When the mountain wind blows, Zhang Huling's hair flutters in the wind. His face is smooth and fair, and his eyes are dark and deep. He is a handsome and handsome man.Hou Haiyang still has the cropped hair he used to play basketball, with sharp edges and corners on his face, slender, tall and slightly rough.Hou Zhengli held her brother in one arm and her boyfriend in the other. At this moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world. Zhang Huling took a day out of his busy schedule to return to Hou Zhengli's hometown for the Spring Festival. After meeting his future parents-in-law, he stayed for one night before he and Hou Zhengli left Liuhe Town.

Duan San's wife originally wanted to take Zhang Huling's car to take her daughter to Bashan County, but Duan San pulled her and said, "You have to come back after sending Yan'er to Bashan. If you want to drive a little bit, Yan'er will go out with Sister Hou, at least she will I won’t be locked up in a detention center, and the fare to Guangdong can be saved.” Wife Duan San tried her best to hold back tears, but when the car roared and she saw her daughter wipe her eyes from the car window, Wife Duan San would never again Unable to control it, she burst into tears. Hou Haiyang followed the back of the car with his eyes. He didn't feel sad, but made up his mind in his heart, saying, "Sooner or later, I will go there and leave a big legacy in Guangdong."

After Zhang Huling and Hou Zhengli left, Erdaoguai was like a stretched rubber band, losing its external force and returning to normal.The smile on Hou Houde's face was blown away by the north wind, and turned into a piece, cold, always with an expression of hating iron for not turning into steel.Hou Haiyang went his own way, playing basketball, running around construction sites, and trying to avoid meeting his father. The father and son did not speak to each other unless they had to.This made Du Xiaohua suffer, she went to persuade her husband for a while, and persuaded her son for a while, and the two sides matched.

During the winter vacation, Hou Haiyang would often think of Qiu Yun in the dead of night, and would occasionally think of Lu Ming. Generally speaking, he missed Qiu Yun significantly longer than Lu Ming.The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was that when he was in a relationship with Lu Ming, he would write letters to dispel his thoughts. Now when he misses Qiuyun, he cannot make phone calls or write letters. Ten or so days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time for school concentration. During these ten days, Du Qiang called several times in succession, urging for pointed fish.Hou Haiyang hummed and pretended to be stupid, emphasizing that he could not receive pointed fish during the Spring Festival.He rejected Du Qiang, the price was one factor, and the other factor was the smashing of Du Min's restaurant.Although there is no clear evidence, he always suspected that it was related to Du Qiang, and a big hole in his heart made him change from being grateful to Du Qiang to being suspicious.

Other than that, no one bothered Hou Haiyang again.Hou Haiyang breathed the fresh air among the green mountains and green waters, practiced basketball hard every day, and by the way read the "Business Accounting" left by his sister. When he read this "Business Accounting", he always thought of the fishy smell of pointed fish.When Er turned to English, it always reminded him of the fragrance of autumn clouds, which made his heart flutter, and his hormones jumped up. Under Du Xiaohua's constant persuasion, Hou Houde calmed down slowly, calculated from his own situation what his son encountered in Xinxiang, and finally, in the dead of night, he expressed deep emotion: "The world is going down, people's hearts are not old, People's hearts are not old!"

On the morning when he was about to leave Erdaoguai, Du Xiaohua watched his son finish his breakfast, waited until his son had finished eating the last piece of bacon, and said, "Your father is in the house, and I have something to tell you." Hou Haiyang knew that this test would never escape, so he said with a bitter face: "Mom, do you really think that I have become a bum, a social youth? That's not the case. I want to make progress, but the school leaders are too fucked up , they are not leading cadres of the Communist Party, but genuine social scum. I got to where I am today because I was educated too well by my father, have a sense of justice, have self-respect, and did not violate my conscience, so I was kicked out of the village. Small go." Du Xiaohua felt the same about this, and said: "Your father's way of dealing with people is to copy the principles in the book, and the words in the sage's book are all old and rotten sesame principles. From now on, you have to learn from your brother-in-law and work hard." Be tactful and don't be stupid." Hou Haiyang put his arms around his mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, why is your son such an idiot? I will definitely succeed." Du Xiaohua carried the cardboard box and put it on the back of the motorcycle, then pouted at Hou Haiyang, signaling him to go to his father's room.Back at Erdaoguai this time, Hou Zhengli brought a lot of food and clothing for the family, including six or seven sets of clothes for Hou Haiyang, including leather clothes, suits, underwear, and even a pair of leather shoes.Du Xiaohua packed these clothes in small cardboard boxes and tied them to the back of the motorcycle with ropes. Hou Haiyang walked slowly to his father's room. The door of the room was opened, the lights were not turned on inside, and the light was darker than outside. Hou Houde sat on a chair, with a book on the table and a pair of new glasses beside the book. He looked at his tall and straight son with calm eyes. . "Dad, I'm going to report to school." Hou Haiyang stood at the door, basically blocking all the light, and his body was against the light, so that Hou Houde couldn't see his son's expression clearly for a while. Hou Houde said in a calm tone: "Erba, do you want to go to Guangdong? Don't rush to deny it. My point of view is different from Duan San. In order to make more money, he can ask Duan Yan not to work formally and follow Zhang Huling to Guangdong. I think you must have an independent personality and dignity. The people in our Hou family cannot rely entirely on Zhang Huling. There is a fashionable saying that eggs cannot be put in one basket." Hou Haiyang was very surprised. He thought his father would criticize him, but he didn't expect his father to start the conversation in such a peaceful way. "You will be considered an adult if you join the workforce. Your future path will depend on your own. Neither your mother nor I can decide your life. However, as an elder, you have your own life experience after all. I hope you can accept our opinions." If Hou Houde came in with serious criticism, Hou Haiyang would definitely have a strong rebellious mentality. His father talked in a calm way, so that his rebellious mentality gradually dissipated, and he sat quietly on the chair. "I don't know what happened to you at Xinxiang School, and your mother didn't explain it to me. Generally speaking, a vice principal surnamed Liu had a deep conflict with you. You think this principal is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. , in short, not the leader of the Communist Party but a villain. Am I right?" Hou Haiyang nodded, and said: "There is such a person, he is a female teacher, it is absolutely true, he also runs a restaurant, runs a coal mine, and has concerns with the gangsters in the society." Hou Houde said: "If this principal is really so bad, there will naturally be party discipline and state laws waiting for him. You made a mistake, and you punished yourself with the mistakes of others. If you give up on yourself like you, the principal has not been punished Influence, you only affect your own future. Looking at it this way, don't you think you are stupid?" "Gathering a crowd to watch a pornographic video, no matter whether you admit it or not, the police station has determined that you can't erase this fact. What I am most angry about is this matter. As long as this matter is put in the file, it will be a lifetime stain. Erba, you are too unclear about things During the Cultural Revolution, how many people lost their careers and even broke up their families because of political taint.” Hou Haiyang was moved by the theory of "punishing yourself with other people's mistakes", fell into deep thought, and quickly sorted out his experience in Xinxiang: "I used to work very hard to get seconded to Xinxiang, then I wanted to go to TV University, and then I wanted to be seconded to the county. In the Public Security Bureau, these three paths were not cleared. There was also a serious conflict with the school leader Liu Qingde, who was kicked to Niubeituo Primary School because of the so-called gathering of people to watch pornographic videos. After this series of things happened, he gave up Xinxiang. In Qiuyun Encouraged by him, I thought of going to university. After meeting my brother-in-law-to-be, Zhang Huling, I decided to go to Guangdong to follow my brother-in-law.” He didn't tell his father about this experience and mental journey, but listened carefully to his father's conversation. "Are you still determined to go to Guangdong?" Hou Houde looked at him solemnly. Hou Haiyang thought for a while and said, "I'm definitely going, but I won't go right away until June or July." Hearing that his son was not going to go anytime soon, Hou Houde secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's talk about this and go to offer incense." Back on the day of Erdaoguai, Hou Haiyang had conflicts with his father, and spent most of the winter vacation fighting with his father.When he was about to leave Erdaoguai, his father spoke earnestly, dispelling most of the resentment that Hou Haiyang had gathered in his heart. He secretly regretted his bad attitude towards his father during the winter vacation. The father and son went to the ancestral grave one after the other. When they passed a hillside, the father pointed to a section of remnant stone in the weeds and said: "Before liberation, there was an archway and stone lions on the side of the ancestral graveyard. The remnants of the descendants, our Hou family is a big family, we did not expect the decline to be like this, and the glory of our ancestors disappeared." There are carving marks on a section of remnant stone, which seem to be a pair of eyes. Hou Haiyang looked at these eyes, and he felt an inexplicable gaze from the depths of history. This was the end of his first holiday at work, and Hou Haiyang had to go back to Xinxiang school. The only person in Xinxiang School who can attract Hou Haiyang is Qiuyun. Qiuyun is the first woman in Hou Haiyang's life. Qiu Yun was the woman who was by Hou Haiyang's side when he was at his worst. After arriving in Xinxiang, Hou Haiyang participated in the opening ceremony and political studies purely as a bystander. His ambition was in Guangdong, so what happened in Xinxiang had nothing to do with him. After the meeting, Qiuyun sat in the dormitory for a while, then went straight to the Bullback Snake Elementary School.At this time, the students hadn't attended class, and the two met in the empty Niubeituo Primary School. Before they had time to chat, they hugged each other warmly, bursting into vigorous flames. After the two were intimate, they satisfied each other on the bed, their bodies and minds were like taking a hot bath in winter, extremely comfortable. With some blush on her face, Qiu Yun leaned on Hou Haiyang's arm, raised her head slightly, and said, "The teachers are talking about you occupying the school land, why did you want to clear this land?" Hou Haiyang said: "Let's go for a walk on the slope, you can take a look at my territory." Holding hands, the two walked up the dry slope against the north wind.On the dry slopes, Erythrina chinensis was planted on the edge of Fan Hou Haiyang's land.Erythrina has a very strong vitality, and it can take root and sprout when you insert it on the ground. When it grows up, it becomes a thorn wall, which is a natural wall. Hou Haiyang pointed to the meandering river in the distance, and said: "The scenery here is picturesque. I want to build a house on the top of the mountain, live on the mountain, watch the stars, enjoy the mountain breeze, eat river fish, and raise local chickens. How romantic is this." Qiu Yun didn't understand Hou Haiyang's behavior, and said, "Do you really want to stay here forever? Although Liang Yuan is good, it's not a place to stay for a long time." Hou Haiyang said in a firm voice, "I have decided that when you leave Xinxiang, it is also the day I arrive in Guangdong." Qiu Yun originally put his head on Hou Haiyang's shoulder, but raised his head when he heard the words, and said, "You don't want to go to university anymore? Even if you go to Guangdong to develop, you can't do without education. If you really want to start from the grassroots, it will be even more difficult." Relying on his brother-in-law's development, Hou Haiyang didn't think it was glorious. He didn't say anything deep, just talked a few words, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "How long has it been since the results of the postgraduate entrance examination?" Qiu Yun said: "The results will come out on March 8th. Before the exam, I was full of confidence. After the exam, I felt good. Now I think about the exam paper. The more I think about it, the more I feel that there are more and more wrong questions, and I feel uneasy. There is a One less answer was selected for the multiple-choice questions, and the most confident English test was not satisfactory." Qiu Yun is an independent and strong woman. In Hou Haiyang's impression, it was the first time she showed such an expression of worrying about gain and loss, and comforted her: "For the past half a year, you have been studying with all your heart, and you have prepared well. I believe You can make it." Qiu Yun said: "Everyone has worked hard for the postgraduate entrance examination, not only me. Students in big cities can also participate in various cram schools and have contact with tutors. I rely on myself in Xinxiang, and my relatives only It can be to help with daily affairs." Walking up to the top of the dry slope, the sight suddenly opened up.Niubeituo Primary School is surrounded by green trees. The roof is a small gray platform. Outside the green trees is a small river with many bamboo leaves floating on it.In the distance is a small piece of farmland, and scattered houses are scattered among the hills. Hou Haiyang pulled Qiuyun in front of him, shielded her from the mountain wind, and said: "One of the big dreams of us farm children is to jump out of the farm and go to work and settle down in a big city. I came to the most remote place in Bashan County just out of anger. Xinxiang School, which is incomprehensible to us peasant children, is making things difficult for ourselves." He remembered what his father said to himself, and emphasized: "You are using other people's mistakes to punish yourself. It's not worth using other people's mistakes to delay your own future." Qiu Yun said: "You don't understand the situation at that time. I lived in the family courtyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau since I was a child. My father was a hero in the police department very early on. I was very proud in the big courtyard. On the eve of graduation, my father suddenly changed from a hero to a The underworld, everyone in the courtyard stares at me, this contrast makes me unacceptable. After my father's accident, I planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination this year, and it was inevitable. I deliberately chose a remote school and came to Xinxiang. There is God's will in it, otherwise how would I know you." Hou Haiyang put his arms around Qiuyun's slender waist, and said, "This is called putting one's life to death and then being reborn, and I am the same." Qiu Yun said: "I hope I can succeed this time, we have to leave this ghost place together." The time for waiting for the postgraduate entrance examination results is quite difficult. On March 8th, Monday, this is the time for the postgraduate entrance examination results to be announced.After Qiuyun finished class, she came to Bullback Shek Elementary School at noon. She took Hou Haiyang's pager and walked around the yard, waiting for her cousin to call. Finally, at twelve forty, the pager rang.Qiu Yun hurriedly came to the kitchen from the playground, and said, "There is a pager, it's Maodong's number, and I'm going to Changzhen to call back." Hou Haiyang took the pager, recognized it as the phone number from Xiao Zhou's office, and said, "This is the phone number of a friend of mine in Maodong." Qiuyun was both disappointed and relieved, holding the pager and waiting at the door again.A dozen or so mud monkey-like elementary school students are chasing and playing around in the yard. They are simple-minded elementary school students. Although their material conditions are poor, they can generate happiness from the heart because of simple reasons such as a basketball game or an interesting game. The cold wind blows Qiu Yun's long hair, fluttering in the air. "It's cold outside, come sit in the stove for a while." Hou Haiyang persuaded Qiu Yun to enter the stove from the door.The stove was covered with fine ash, no open flame was visible, and the heat was still radiating outward. Qiuyun sat in the stove, took the cup of hot water, and drank in small sips. A person walked in front of the school, crooked, and the smell of alcohol could be smelled even in the room.Hou Haiyang is waiting with Qiuyun for the results of the postgraduate entrance examination, and he is not in the mood to talk nonsense with Zhao Hai, an old drunk.But people have already entered, and they still have to be received. "Brother Hou, you are awesome. It's okay to occupy the school's land. Several school leaders dare not fart." Zhao Hai sat directly in the guest room, took Hou Haiyang's teacup and drank it.Spit out a mouthful of tea leaves, and he said again: "I was a day late for school, Dai Youming said something, and Liu Qingde sneered again, Wang Qin is in charge of the elementary school, so I can't talk at all, if Primary and secondary schools are not separated, learning will not be learned." Hou Haiyang ignored him, and turned his ear to the stove, waiting for the sound of the pager. "Zhao Liangyong is a bitch, a black-footed snake who wears glasses and pretends to be a righteous god. Now he is studying for a correspondence course. If you call him a bitch, he won't come to play poker. He is a shell egg, and he will tell the police all his cock and dog eggs." Hou Haiyang looked down on the alcoholic Zhao Hai from his heart now, and said: "Don't blame others, quit drinking first, it's like nothing to be drunk every day. You are using other people's mistakes to punish yourself." Zhao Hai lowered his head, his long hair hung down to cover his face, and said: "You sleep with a beautiful woman in your arms every day, a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. I'm nothing but a piece of mud that can't support the wall. Day by day." Qiu Yun waited for her cousin's call, feeling like a cat was scratching her heart. She really wanted to talk to Hou Haiyang for a while, but she didn't want to meet the drunkard Zhao Hai.Whenever Zhao Hai was drunk, he would stare at people with piercing eyes, which made her very displeased. Seeing that it was time for class, Qiuyun was about to leave Niubeituo and go back to school when the pager rang, this time it was Maodong's call. "Ocean, is that your phone?" After getting a negative answer, Qiu Yun hurriedly said: "I'll go to Changzhen to answer the phone." Hou Haiyang went out to ride a motorcycle, and Ma Guangtou and other teachers had already arrived in the yard, preparing for the afternoon class.Hou Haiyang said: "Teacher Ma, I'm going to Changzhen, and you can help me with my class." Ma Guangtou kept nodding, with a smile on his face, and said courteously: "Mr. Hou, you go, I will help you with the class." Feeling guilty, I wish I could help Hou Haiyang finish all his classes. Hou Haiyang started the motorcycle and said, "That's troublesome." After leaving the school, Qiu Yun couldn't help but said: "I heard some rumors. The teacher with Niu Bei Tuo went to the school to sue you about your rental of the dry slope. These people are usually honest and honest, how can they be so insidious!" The oncoming wind poured straight into his clothes, Hou Haiyang shrank his neck and said: "Poor people must have something to hate, they are all sinners, I don't care about them like them, just pretend that I don't know." "I can't do this. I can't get along with Li Suanlian. She likes talking nonsense behind her back too much. If she doesn't spread some gossip, she will feel uncomfortable." "I'm a man, you are a woman, of course it's different." While speaking, the motorcycle arrived at the town.When Qiuyun dialed the phone, his hands trembled a little.When he put down the phone, his face was cloudy and uncertain. "How's it going?" "Single subject is completely passed, with a total score of 349." Hou Haiyang was confused about the postgraduate entrance examination and didn't know what this result meant.Qiu Yun's face became more and more worried, and said: "Last year's total score was 342 points, and I don't know what the admission line is for this year." Hou Haiyang reached out and patted Qiuyun on the shoulder, saying: "Since the score is higher than last year, what are you worried about, just wait patiently." Qiu Yun squeezed out a smile and said, "I hope the admission line will be similar to last year." After the results came out, Qiuyun really felt the embarrassment of being in a remote place. If she wanted to find out some information, she could only entrust it to her cousin. After all, the cousin had her own affairs, so she was always slow to give information.This gave Qiuyun a headache and anxious heart, and he felt restless when he came to Niubei Tuo after get off work, like ants on a hot pot. Hou Haiyang decided to help Qiuyun with something. Now the most troublesome thing for Qiuyun is the lack of communication tools. Installing a phone costs several thousand yuan for the initial installation fee, which is meaningless. The best tool is a Chinese display phone. paging. He came to the county seat on Thursday afternoon and went straight to the largest telecommunications store.He has accumulated a certain amount now, and his wallet is much harder than the first time he bought a pager. He bought a double-row Han Xian Motorola with better performance. The pager number starts with 128. He paid a one-year service fee and spent Three thousand yuan.When paying the money, Hou Haiyang's heart ached, but thinking of Qiu Yun's tenderness, he felt that the payment was worth it. When we rode back to Xinxiang Niubai Tuo, it was after six o'clock, and the sky became pitch black.Hou Haiyang stood in front of the iron gate of the Bull-backed Snake School, and saw Qiu Yun sitting in the stove, resting his chin on one hand, staring at the burning stove, thinking about something. She heard the sound of knocking on the iron door, picked up the flashlight and looked outside, and asked in awe, "Who is it?" "it's me." Hearing it was Hou Haiyang's voice, Qiu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, took the key and walked to the door, complaining: "Where have you been again, don't tell me in advance." After a practical incident, he was in a good mood and joked: "You are too careful. The door was locked just after dark. This is a denial of the security situation in Xinxiang." Full of thoughts, Qiu Yun didn't make any jokes with Hou Haiyang, opened the iron lock, and asked, "Why did you suddenly enter the county seat? I saw you leaving a note and sending fish again? You didn't collect the fish." Hou Haiyang only said: "It's really hard to ride a bicycle in winter, your nose and ears are going to freeze off, hurry up, get something to eat." Seeing that Hou Haiyang's lips were black and blue from the cold, Qiu Yun turned around and brought hot food from the stove, placed two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, and then sat down to eat in silence. When the winter vacation started, Hou Haiyang's mother, Du Xiaohua, helped pack Hou Haiyang's luggage. When he came to Erdaoguai, he found that in addition to the clothes bought by his sister Hou Zhengli, Du Xiaohua had wrapped a piece of bacon in a plastic bag.Qiuyun cooked a piece of bacon and cut it into thin slices. The half-fat and half-thin bacon was crystal clear and exuded a unique fragrance.Hou Haiyang's appetite was whetted, and he threw a piece of bacon into his mouth, only to feel the taste of Erdaoguai in his mouth. Hou Haiyang chewed a few pieces of bacon, and seeing Qiu Yun unhappy, he asked, "What, are you angry?" He didn't take out Han Xian right away, intending to surprise Qiu Yun. "I'm not angry, I'm just in a bad mood. I called my cousin when I got off work, and she said that the number of applicants this year has at least tripled compared to last year, and the admission line has risen. I'm afraid I will fail." With the idea of ​​living in Xinxiang for a year, she came to this place she had never heard of without hesitation. If she failed the postgraduate entrance examination, it meant that she would stay here for another year, or even many years.Of course, she could find her old relationship and transfer back to Maodong, but since that's the case, why bother. Hou Haiyang comforted: "The score line has not yet come out. Why do you start entangled in advance? It's self-defeating. You can wait until you really fail. In fact, I hope in my heart that you will fail. After you fail, you can stay in Xinxiang. We Being a couple in need, attending classes during the day, and farming on dry slopes in the evening, is as happy as a god.” Qiu Yun was speechless for a long time. It is a beautiful legend that a wife and children are hot on the kang. It is essentially a desire with a low level of demand. Her ideal is much better than these three points.Today, she finally realized that it was an impulsive move to go to a remote village despite everything. Fortunately, she met Hou Haiyang in Xinxiang, which made her life in Xinxiang better.It was precisely because of meeting Hou Haiyang that she felt so sad when she thought about leaving. After eating, Qiuyun was about to wash the dishes when Hou Haiyang said, "Don't wash, let's look at one thing first." Opening the bag wrapped outside the box, there was a beautiful photo of Motorola printed on the box.Qiu Yun's eyes widened, and he said, "Bought another pager?" "You need to contact the school for a while, and it's inconvenient without a pager. This is Motorola's Chinese display. If you have anything to do, you can send a message directly to your cousin." Holding the Motorola Chinese Hanxian, which is the most expensive gift Qiuyun has received, she was speechless for a while, rubbing the exquisite pager, and after a while, said: "You came to Bashan County to buy a pager Machine? Why are you so stupid, this Chinese language is too expensive, and the service fee is more than 100 per month." Hou Haiyang said proudly: "Men make money for women to spend. I am happy when you spend money. Buying a Hanxian for you is an important step for me to realize my manliness." Knowing that Motorola's Chinese display is expensive, Qiu Yun was really moved.She was not too pretentious, she held the pager in her hand and played with it carefully, showing a mischievous smile, and said: "Then you have to thank me, if I don't want this Han Xian, you won't be a man." In the countryside, men and women in the fields often make some nasty jokes, which are vulgar and bold, and point directly at the genitals.Hou Haiyang was deeply influenced by the fields since he was a child. When he heard Qiuyun say such a vague sentence, he joked: "Indeed, I want to thank you. Without you, I would be a boy. With you, I would become a man." Qiu Yun didn't pay attention to the deep meaning at first, but when she saw Hou Haiyang's naughty smile, she came to her senses, raised her hand and said, "When did you learn to speak glibly?" Hou Haiyang held Qiu Yunyang's raised palm, pulled her into his arms, and said, "This is not glib, but the truth." Qiu Yun hugged Hou Haiyang tightly, and said, "Thank you, not for the pager, but for your kindness." She kissed Hou Haiyang on the cheek, and when Hou Haiyang was about to kiss him, she kissed Hou Haiyang again. Haiyang pushed away and said, "Stay aside, I'll wash the dishes first." With the Han Xian pager, Qiu Yun was immediately connected to the world he was familiar with before. Whenever the cousin inquired about any news, she would send it in a short message. On March 13th, Saturday, Qiu Yun was in class when her pager vibrated.As a teacher, she is very particular about not doing anything unrelated to teaching during class, ignoring the vibrating pager.However, she was still distracted by the pager. The pager at this time must be related to the exam. Thinking about the exam reminded her of leaving Xinxiang. When she was reading the text, she even lost her mind for a while, as if Hou Haiyang was sitting in the corner of the classroom watching Own. When the two seemed to be getting better, Hou Haiyang once sat in the classroom and listened to two or three classes. This behavior attracted the attention of the students and the discussion of the teachers.Hou Haiyang didn't care about these discussions, and neither did she.After Hou Haiyang was kicked into the back of a snake, he resisted everything in Xinxiang School with a stubborn attitude. He stood completely on the opposite side of Xinxiang School. Under the circumstances, Hou Haiyang would naturally not come to the classroom to listen to English. Today, after receiving a page call, Qiuyun inexplicably remembered Hou Haiyang who was sitting in the corner of the classroom.After class, Qiuyun hurried out of the classroom with the textbook in her arms, as if she had a premonition that this message would be a fate-determining one.Walking to the edge of the playground, a group of middle school students were chasing on the playground. They were tireless and running like desperately, making dust everywhere.Qiu Yun took a deep breath, turned on the pager, and a message jumped into his eyes - the score line was 350 points. A few words bombarded Qiuyun's mind like a heavy cannonball, the sky suddenly became dark, and the noise of the children on the playground became extremely distant. "Could it be that this one-point difference will change my life? Could it be that making a mistake in a multiple-choice question that I'm too familiar with will change my destiny?" Qiu Yun felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. After turning countless times in the playground, she returned to the small dormitory. Holding a cup of strong tea, Li Suansu stood by the door chatting with Zhao Liangyong and others. When she saw Qiuyun approaching, she said loudly on purpose: "Ms. Xiaohou is the most manly teacher in Xinxiang School. He dares to beat Liu Quide. Others in the school Who dares to be a male teacher? If he doesn’t come to study politics, he occupies the school’s land, and the school leaders don’t dare to fart. He’s really fucking bullying. Zhao Liangyong, when you become an official in the future, you have to be a bit manly.” Zhao Liangyong refused to admit Li Suanlian's statement: "I can be an official, don't talk nonsense." Li Suansu snorted: "The announcement will be made in the next two days, and I will call Director Zhao at that time." The idea that Zhao Liangyong wants to be the teaching director has long been circulated among the teachers. For Qiu Yun and Hou Haiyang, this is a completely negligible position. For most school teachers, the position of the teaching director has nothing to do with their work. It is closely related to life and is a very important official position. Qiuyun sat on the bed with several professional books on the bedside. At this time, she didn't want to read these books at all, so she threw a towel to cover these books, and then lay on her back on the bed.He remained motionless, staring at the ceiling. Li Suansuan entered the room, opened Qiuyun's curtain, looked at Qiuyun lying on the bed with a pale face, and said in an exaggerated voice: "Teacher Qiu, are you sick? I'll bring a letter to Hou Haiyang." Added another sentence , "Did Hou Haiyang bully you? What did this Hou Haiyang do? He doesn't know how to cherish fragrance and pity jade at all." Qiuyun and Li Suanlian lived in the same room for more than half a year. She has a deep understanding of Li Suanlian. She knows that no matter how good it is, it will taste bad when it comes out of Li Suanlian's mouth. Sick, just a little tired, lie down." Li Suansu reached out and touched Qiuyun's forehead, then touched his own forehead, and said, "I don't have a fever." At this moment, Qiu Yun just wanted to stay quietly in the corner by herself, she tried her best to smile and said, "Thank you, I'll be fine after lying down for a while." In the afternoon, during the political study, Qiu Yun was absent-minded, while Hou Haiyang came to the school to participate in the political study. Hou Haiyang is a rebel in school with a unique attitude, and he is secretly liked by ordinary teachers, and there are always teachers who smoke.Qiu Dafa came to his side, tore open a new box of Hongtashan, and said: "Mr. Hou, smoke." Wang Rongfu said: "Old Qiu, Hongtashan has been released for more than a month, and today I finally quit." Qiu Dafa laughed and said: " It's rare for Teacher Xiao Hou to come, so of course he has to smoke a good cigarette." Hou Haiyang smoked a cigarette, looked at Qiuyun, saw his complexion was not good, felt warmed up, and thought to himself: "Could it be that Qiuyun didn't pass the score line?" Thinking of this, he was both happy and worried. In Xinxiang, the worry is that staying in Xinxiang is really not a good thing for Qiuyun. He glanced again and saw Zhao Hai with long hair in the corner. His face was thinner than before, as if he had been chopped by an axe, and his hooked nose seemed to have been enlarged a bit. "This Zhao Hai is too weak. Even if he went to the village school, he wouldn't torture himself like this." Hou Haiyang remembered what his father said, "My father's words are quite philosophical. It is foolish to punish yourself for other people's mistakes. , It is a sad thing to be punished by others for making a mistake, and it is even more stupid to punish yourself even more.” Dai Youming, Liu Qingde, and Wang Qin came to the meeting room one after another.Sitting behind the rostrum, Liu Qingde was surprised to see Hou Haiyang who hadn't come to the meeting for a long time. He snorted and raised his eyes with a look of indifference. The leaders on the Houhai TV station were nothing, and he was sitting in a position where he could see Qiuyun's profile, so he carefully studied the cold expression on Qiuyun's face.This expression was like the expression of the ice beauty in Bashan County for the first time. Seeing this expression, he was even more convinced that Qiuyun's test scores were not good. After several school leaders finished speaking, the principal Dai Youming specially asked Zhao Liangyong to talk about the teaching arrangements for the new semester.All the teachers here understood what it means for Zhao Liangyong to arrange teaching work. Before Zhao Liangyong gave a lecture, the teachers clapped together and the atmosphere became lively. Hou Haiyang is the youngest and most famous idle cloud wild crane in the school. He also applauded Zhao Liangyong and commented objectively in his heart: "The school has finally handled a personnel matter." 赵良勇无论从组织能力还是教学能力等方面，都足以担任教导主任一职，加上他为人处世比较圆滑，是教师之中天然形成的大哥级人物。虽然在派出所写了检讨书稍稍有损其威信，可是经过几个月的沉淀，此事不再新鲜，赵良勇很快在老师中恢复了威信。 散会以后，侯海洋和秋云对视一眼，两人心有灵犀一点通，都从对方眼神中读出了自己需要知道的信息。赵海不合时宜地从身后拍了侯海洋的肩膀，道：“老侯，赵良勇要当官了，晚上他必须请客，喝酒。” 侯海洋道：“现在喝酒太早了，等到老赵的乌纱帽戴稳当了，再喝酒不迟。” 在新乡学校，每次政治学习都是喝酒的动员会，特别是很多教师平时散布在各个村小，相隔远，不容易聚在一起。政治学习以后，大家聚在一起痛痛快快地喝一台酒，喝醉以后，晚上孤寂的时光便容易打发，第二天早上起床就是九、十点钟，一天的日子也就算过了一小半。 李酸酸从几人身旁走过，她大有深意地笑道：“赵海，你也是过来人，怎么不懂事，去当大灯泡，喝酒从来都是单身汉的事。”上次喝醉酒，赵海曾经对李酸酸有过亲昵或者说是猥亵的动作，李酸酸似乎把此事全部忘记了，仍然在赵海面前有说有笑，反而是赵海感到浑身不自在。 “侯海洋，秋云中午生病了，你这个男人家，怎么不管不顾？”李酸酸大声开侯海洋的玩笑。 侯海洋更加确定秋云考研之事不妙，没有理睬李酸酸。 李酸酸和赵海相继离开，侯海洋走到秋云身边，道：“分数线划出来了？”秋云点了点头，脸上尽是沮丧，道：“差一分上线。”侯海洋道：“到牛背砣去吧，我煮酸菜鱼，活人不会被尿憋死，大不了再考一次。”秋云叹息一声，道：“我为了考研，天天看书，也算勤奋刻苦，谁知是这个结果！若是分数差得多一点，我还能想通，现在只差一分，让人想不通，郁闷。” 秋云在牛背砣小学放着全套洗漱用品，她没有回寝室，与侯海洋一道走出了校园。 学校老师都知道秋云与侯海洋谈起了恋爱，此时，仍然有不少老师三三两两聚在操场边上，他们看到秋云跟着侯海洋肩并肩走在一起，心里涌起了不同的感受。 刘清德为代表的男教师们都抱着“好白菜都被猪拱了”或者说是“一朵鲜花插在了牛粪上”的想法，心里充满了对美女的渴望以及对侯海洋的嫉妒。 以李酸酸为代表的中年妇女则持着完全相反的观点，她们普遍认为侯海洋是一位很有潜力的健康向上的阳光少年，认为秋云则是心机深沉的女人，她们普遍抱着“侯海洋这种阳光青年怎么会爱上秋云，迟早要被秋云蹬掉”的观点，更有少数偏激者认为“侯海洋被秋云欺骗了感情”。只有如赵良勇等少数人在祝福一对年轻人幸福。 侯海洋根本不在意其他人的感受，两人沿着青石板路到了场镇。摩托车有点小毛病，正在修车店等配件。离开了摩托车，侯海洋的速度终于慢了下来，他握着秋云的手前往牛背砣学校。 在冬水田里忙活的农人见到这一对青年男女在大白天牵着手，都伸直了腰，瞧着两人。一个老年农人道：“妈哟，还是老师，大白天就手牵手。”跟随着他在田里劳作的是半大小孙子，他道：“爷爷，这个有啥子嘛，听我妈说，在大城市，谈恋爱的人都在大街上抱着亲嘴。”老年农人愤愤地道：“这他妈的像个啥子，我要到镇政府去告他们。” 侯海洋和秋云没有说话，牵着手行走在冬日暖阳之下。回到牛背砣小学，侯海洋关上房门，俯身抱着秋云，道：“我等会儿杀鱼，生蒸腊肉，晚上吃大餐。” 这是一个美好的夜晚，侯海洋表现出了超越年龄的良好耐心和细心，让秋云在美味的大餐和美妙的性爱中暂时忘掉了沮丧和失落。
