Chapter 6 The town government is short of a writer

Hou Haiyang heard voices coming from a room, and knocked on the door, but no one answered.He knocked on the door again, only to hear a voice from inside: "Who is knocking, who is knocking, come in." Four people gathered around the room playing poker, one of them was the little Qiu Dafa. "Teacher Qiu, do you have any boiled water? Please drink it." Qiu Dafa smiled and said: "We will be colleagues in the future, so don't be polite." He introduced to the other teachers who played cards: "This is Hou Haiyang, a new graduate from the Chinese Normal University."

The other teachers had all seen Hou Haiyang before, and they were now concentrating on playing cards and impatient with Hou Haiyang.Only Qiu Dafa was still enthusiastic, saying: "The water bottle is in the corner, you pour it yourself." When Hou Haiyang was pouring water, Qiu Yun came over with a teacup. She stood at the door and asked, "Excuse me, teacher, is there any boiling water?" A long-haired man stood up quickly as if a spring was attached to his buttocks, and said courteously: "There is boiling water, please come in, and I will pour water for you." This long-haired man is tall and thin, with an aquiline nose, and his eyes are like 100-watt light bulbs, swishing towards Qiu Yun with enthusiasm.He waited for Haiyang to pour the boiled water, then took the boiled water bottle from him, poured Qiu Yun a full cup, and said, "Be careful, don't burn your hands. Do you have a boiled water bottle, I can boil water here. "

Hou Haiyang suddenly became a redundant person. He left the room with a water glass in his hand, secretly thinking that none of the colleagues he met in Xinxiang Primary School was normal: the black guy Liu Qingde was like a bully, the small Qiu Dafa was soft-boned, and the long-haired man A complexion. Back in the room, Hou Haiyang walked around the house with a glass of water.He was hungry as the hot water flowed down his tortuous intestines, washing away the remains of his midday meal. After eating half a pack of biscuits, my stomach is still complaining. As a snack, biscuits still have merit, but as a staple food, they look hideous. This makes Hou Haiyang miss the fresh fish in Liuhe.The fresh fish in the river is delicious in itself. Add some salt and ginger, grab the fish herbs that can be seen everywhere by the river, and boil it in plain water. It is a delicacy that is hundreds of times better than this biscuit.

From food associations, Hou Haiyang's heart was suddenly filled with the amorous feelings of that day in Erdaoguai's classroom.Lu Ming's body scent of a girl, hot skin, soft hair, and the faint smell of grass in his mouth, these vivid memories grew wildly like weeds, occupying his brain. He threw the biscuit aside, took out a pen and paper from his bag, lay down on the bed, and wrote on the paper about his lovesickness. Lovesickness is like old wine, overflowing in my heart countless times, he writes like a god, the tip of the pen slides smoothly on the paper, and the longing is solidified from an ethereal state into a visible love letter.

Putting the love letter into the envelope and sealing it carefully, Hou Haiyang felt relieved as if he had completed a major event, so he began to tidy up the room.The room was empty except for the bed, and tidying up the room was essentially tidying up the bed. Except for the bamboo boards, there was no straw, no quilts, and no mats on the bed. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Hou Haiyang didn't hesitate, he closed the door and walked out of the campus along the way he came.Walking down the bluestone ladder, one side of the wall is the school, and the other side is the vast countryside.Hou Haiyang walked straight into the nearest small farmyard. A man was washing sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are good food for people in the city, but good food for pigs in the countryside.The man piled sweet potatoes in a large wooden basin filled with water, and stomped hard with his feet.

Hou Haiyang took a cigarette, handed it to the man, and said, "I'm a new teacher from Xinxiang Primary School, and I want to find some straw to make a bed." The man took a puff of the cigarette, gave him a sidelong glance, and said, "Are you Did you just come here, middle school or elementary school?" "I'm in elementary school, and I just came to report today." Hou Haiyang's sharp eyes saw some bricks piled up in the corner of the house, and he took the initiative to provoke the topic, "Are you planning to repair the brick house? It will cost some money. Our school is still a house with earthen walls. .”

The man was interested in the topic of building a house, so he stepped on the red sweet potato vigorously, and said, "My son graduated from junior high school and went to work in Guangdong. We borrowed money from other places, so we pooled the money." Hou Haiyang, who grew up in Erdaoguai, was very familiar with the ways of life in the countryside. The two chatted about the house for a while, and he again proposed some straws. After talking for a few minutes, and smoking the other party's cigarette, the man became bold: "Straw, whatever money you want, just go and get it."

Hou Haiyang originally wanted to carry two bundles of straw, but suddenly realized that Qiuyun probably did not live in the countryside, so he gave the man another cigarette. School. Hou Haiyang wobbled back to school carrying straws.When he passed Qiuyun's room, he glanced inside and saw Qiuyun sitting by the window with one hand resting on his chin, with a sad face, like a meditating beauty in an ancient painting.Back in the room, Hou Haiyang was sweating profusely, and went to the well in the courtyard with a basin and towel. Qiuyun was worrying about the room at this time. Her bed was exactly the same as Hou Haiyang's, without straw, and she had to sleep on a hard bed.She saw Hou Haiyang passing by the door carrying a load of straw, and her heart moved.

After arriving at the school, I found that the dark guys, the small ones, the long hair, etc. were all ugly and vulgar. Only the newly registered Hou Haiyang was a healthy, clean and sunny boy.Holding a plastic bucket, she hurried to the well and said, "Mr. Hou, can you bring me a bucket of water?" When Hou Haiyang put the bucket into the well, she said, "What era is this? No tap water is used. The worst thing is to have water pressure equipment, and buckets are still used to fetch water from the well.” Hou Haiyang said: “This is a rural school, and many people don’t have tap water. The quality is not bad. Haven’t you lived in the countryside?” Erdaoguai also had this kind of well, so he thought it was no surprise to use this kind of well.

"No." "How did you get this place? Xinxiang Middle School has a bad reputation in the county, and the conditions are not good." Qiu Yun shook her head, but did not answer this question. She asked another question, "Is there no bathroom in this school?" Hou Haiyang said: "I walked around the campus just now, but I didn't see a special bathhouse. It should be in the toilet." Qiuyun had already been to the bathroom, the women's bathroom was small and dark, full of spider webs, which made her shudder.She asked again: "Where did you get the straw?"

"The farmers outside want it. I pick a lot of straw. Do you want it?" "Thank you, I want it." After saying this, Qiu Yun remembered the jokes in the university dormitory. Crazy Zhao likes to use "I want, I want, I want" to make metaphorical jokes.Thinking of this, her heart ached slightly. When Hou Haiyang came to Qiuyun House with the straw, it happened that Yinggoubi and others had finished playing cards and walked to the door. "Young man Hou, you are not bad, you know how to cherish fragrance and pity jade." The hooked nose said darkly at the door. Hooked Nose also entered the room after Hou Haiyang. He squeezed out a smile on his gloomy face and said, "Mr. Qiu, you haven't eaten yet. The rest of us are going to eat in a restaurant. Come with us. Qiu Teacher, you are welcome, we are all colleagues." He glanced at Hou Haiyang and said, "Boy Hou is going too." Qiuyun always felt that the hooked nose and eyes were a little bit pale, and she simply refused: "Thank you, I have eaten." The hooked nose touched a soft nail, so he stopped greeting Hou Haiyang, turned around and left. The beds in Hou Haiyang's house are all made of straw, and the beds are well made.Seeing that Qiuyun was helpless when facing the straw, he said, "It's uncomfortable to stick to the straw, I'll spread it for you." In terms of age, Hou Haiyang is only 18 years old, Qiu Yun is 23 years old, and in terms of gender, Qiu Yun is female and Hou Haiyang is male, but on the first day of coming to Xinxiang Primary School, Hou Haiyang is like a big brother , wearing a vest with Bashan Zhongshi printed on it, spreading the straw quickly with his hands and feet. After the straw was laid, Qiuyun spread the sheets and thin cotton batting used in the university on the bed, and the old bed had a new look. The newly laid straw was extraordinarily soft and exuded a faint farm smell. She lay reclining on the bed reading an English book before she relaxed. Thinking of her father's sad and indignant expression, she felt heavy again. The distance between Lingxi and Xinxiang Primary School is two to three hundred kilometers, which is very far away. What is even more distant is the distance of wealth and culture. The disturbing crowds in the past have become a dream. She took out her notebook, turned to a new page, and wrote down everything she saw and heard today into her diary. One sentence said: "I saw the teachers of Xinxiang School today. Except for the new teacher Hou Haiyang, everyone else was full of excitement. Hostility. You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. You must learn to protect yourself in a difficult environment." After finishing writing, she closed the notebook, put it on her lap, thought for a while, and added: "It is my self-salvation to be admitted to the graduate school. I believe that the experience in Xinxiang School will make me understand this more clearly. Society, this experience will be a valuable asset." When she put the diary back, she subconsciously felt a pair of eyes watching her. When she looked up, there was a gray-black mouse staring at her at the corner of the bed.As a girl who grew up in the city, she seldom saw such a ferocious mouse at such a close distance. Qiuyun was a brave girl, but still let out a scream and rushed out with her notebook. Hou Haiyang was reading a novel in the room, when he heard Qiu Yun's scream, he quickly threw the book away and ran out: "What's the matter, Teacher Qiu?" Qiu Yun's face changed, and she pointed to the room far away from the door: "There are mice in the room, on the bed." Hou Haiyang said: "It's normal to have mice in this kind of place, and it's abnormal if they don't." Qiu Yun hid behind Hou Haiyang and said, "Teacher Hou, help me go in and have a look." She always looked as cold as ice, but at this moment, a mouse made her reveal her true colors.Hou Haiyang found a hairless broom outside the house, and after driving them away, three vigorous mice quickly got out of bed and ran away from the door. "Is there any more?" Qiuyun stomped vigorously at the door, seeing that there was no movement in the house, and then entered the house cautiously and lightly, as if densely packed with landmines.She timidly asked: "Mr. Hou, where did this mouse come in from?" Hou Haiyang pointed to the roof. The bungalows are tile-roofed houses with wooden beams when you look up.This kind of house is ventilated everywhere, and there is no way to keep the mice out.Qiu Yun followed Hou Haiyang's fingers to look around the roof, and said in great pain, "What should I do?" Hou Haiyang said: "To solve the problem, you can use a mousetrap or a cat. If you want to solve the problem completely, you have to move instead of living in this kind of house." Two more mice were running around on the beams, their paws making hurried sounds on the wooden beams.Qiu Yun was so frightened that her face changed color. She grabbed Hou Haiyang's arm and was about to cry. Hou Haiyang's masculine temperament was revealed, and he said: "I brought a mosquito net, but I haven't hung it up yet, you hang it up first, at least it can withstand it for a while, and keep the mice and mosquitoes out." Qiu Yun said embarrassedly: "But, I used your mosquito net, what should you do?" "Just buy a plate of mosquito coils." "I'll go buy mosquito coils for you." Hou Haiyang waved his hand and said, "Without bamboo poles, there is no way to hang the mosquito net. I'll get some bamboo poles." Qiu Yun said: "It's so late, where are you going to get bamboo poles?" "I know a family outside. It should be no problem to ask them for a few bamboo poles." When Hou Haiyang left, Qiu Yun left the room and stood on the aisle outside.She is not afraid of the darkness and strife in the world, but she is really afraid of spooky mice. In her eyes, these mice are devils crawling out of hell. After standing outside for about half an hour, when Hou Haiyang appeared at the door holding the bamboo pole, she let out a long sigh of relief. Qiu Yun knelt on the bed and carefully put on the mosquito net. Hou Haiyang, who was helping at the side, accidentally saw the bra and snow-white skin through the collar. His heart beat violently, and he quickly looked away. At ten o'clock in the evening, Hou Haiyang was awakened by a loud cry in his sleep: "My family lives on a high slope of loess, and strong winds blow across the slope, whether it is northeast wind or northwest wind..." The singer gets all the words right and all the melodies wrong.Hou Haiyang didn't want to get up at first, but the tone was too weird. He got up, pushed open the door, and saw Hawk Nose standing in the middle of the yard.He was obviously drunk, staggering, shirtless, roaring passionately. The little man and the other teacher disappeared. Hooked Nose sang a few verses and went back to the house.Seeing no one around, Hou Haiyang burrowed into the toilet while wearing shorts.Before reaching the door of the toilet, a strong smell mixed with the smell of alcohol and the smell of the toilet hits the face, making people sick.Under the dim light, the little man was squatting in the toilet, with a long nose and long nose, vomiting painfully. Hou Haiyang hurriedly backed out, found a dark corner, and pissed wildly. Hooked Nose stumbled back to the yard with a guitar in his hand.Standing in the courtyard, he roared wildly: "I am a wolf from the north, walking in the boundless wilderness..." He sang very intently, his whole body shaking with the music. Hou Haiyang suppressed a smile and went back to the room, and then closed the door, he couldn't help it, he was shaking with laughter in the hut.The hooked nose not only sings out of tune, but playing the guitar is almost equal to playing cotton.The guitar is originally an instrument that can play beautiful melodies, and it can be played so badly and dissonantly that the hooked nose is considered a geek. Qiuyun slept on the bed with her eyes wide open. With the mosquito net, mice and mosquitoes could not come in for the time being, but there was no wind in the hut, and the temperature was very high. She was so stuffy in the mosquito net, turning left and right, the sheets were already wet up.Hearing such an ugly singing, she first laughed for a while, then smiled, and gradually felt a little sad, thinking about the university, remembering her father's stubborn eyes, the contemptuous expressions of the acquaintances in the yard, and tears falling down one by one Dropped, onto the sheets, forming a wet patch. The next day, Hou Haiyang got up early.After lending the mosquito net to Qiuyun last night, he was mercilessly attacked by mosquitoes. In desperation, he could only wear a shirt to sleep, and found a piece of clothing to cover his face.In the dark night, buzzing sounds came from all directions, and mosquitoes were like eagles over London, attacking Hou Haiyang's defense line to be riddled with holes. Hou Haiyang went to the playground and ran a few laps, punched a few youth long fists, and returned to the courtyard, where he was drawing water from the well.Qiu Yun walked over, the sound of mosquitoes outside the mosquito net last night hadn't stopped, she guessed the consequences of not having a mosquito net, walked closer, and saw twenty or thirty red and swollen small bags on Hou Haiyang's arm at a glance, and said apologetically: "There are mosquitoes here. There are so many, it caused you to be bitten miserably, I'm sorry." Hou Haiyang lifted the bucket up, raised his arm to look at the red and swollen area, and said, "Mountain mosquitoes are worse than expected. I'll go to the town to buy a pack of mosquito coils later." Qiu Yun said anxiously: "Don't buy it, I'm going to the town later, I'll buy it." Hou Haiyang didn't pretend to argue, and said, "Did you hear the singing last night? It's so ugly. No one sang correctly, and the guitar was just playing randomly." Qiuyun is five years older than Hou Haiyang, and has a slightly different opinion from Hou Haiyang: "The old teachers will have to wait a few days before reporting. They stayed at school for the summer vacation. Most of them have nowhere to go, so they are naturally depressed." We chatted a few words about the school situation, both of them were newcomers, and they knew about the same situation, so they couldn't get the point. "My dad is a teacher at the elementary school in Erdaoguai Village, Liuhe Town. I am very familiar with these places." Hou Haiyang looked at Qiuyun and said, "I don't think you are from Bashan." Qiu Yun said vaguely: "I graduated from Lingxi Normal University, don't ask me why I am here, there is a reason anyway." In the teacher's courtyard, except for Hou Haiyang and Qiuyun, everyone else was sleeping late.After washing up, Hou Haiyang went to the town to have breakfast. He ate biscuits last night. If he continued to eat biscuits for breakfast, he would lose his appetite. He decided to go to the town to eat bean curd rice. Xinxiangchang Town is smaller than Liuhechang Town, with only one street, a steamed bun restaurant, a noodle restaurant, and a bean curd restaurant.Hou Haiyang came to the bean curd restaurant and ordered a bowl of bean curd. After eating half of it, the black man walked in. Hou Haiyang took the initiative to say hello, "Director Liu, hello." Putting on airs, Liu Qingde confessed: "You eat here too, the new teacher will have a meeting later, don't be late." Douhua restaurants use small plates for seasoning, but Liu Qingde didn't use small plates. He took a rice bowl, scooped up a spoonful of chili oil, half a spoonful of garlic and green onions, and three spoonfuls of lettuce oil. There were more than half a bowl of seasoning.Douhua rice is a cheap local fast food in Bashan.The boss of Douhua was familiar with Liu Qingde's habits, and felt a dull pain in his heart, pretending not to see it. After taking a sip of Dou Hua cellar water, Liu Qingde said slowly, "One more bowl of fatty sausage and two taels of wine." Drinking some wine, eating tofu curds and fatty sausages, Liu Qingde hummed a song: "There are countless cousins ​​in my family, and they don't come to the door for any important event. Even though they are relatives and don't recognize each other, he is even closer than relatives." ..." This is the aria of Li Tiemei in "The Red Lantern" among the eight model operas, which belongs to the collective memory of that era. Hou Houde often hums a few lines when he is happy, and Hou Haiyang is familiar with it.He wanted to exchange a few words with Liu Qingde, and tried hard to find a topic, but couldn't find a suitable topic for a while. In Liu Qingde's eyes, Hou Haiyang is a brat who offended the boss of the Education Bureau. He enjoys himself and feels like a cat playing with a mouse.While drinking, Qiuyun appeared at the door, and his eyes lit up like a light bulb that was powered on. "Teacher Qiu, don't stand outside, come, come, come." Liu Qingde put the wine bowl on the table, greeted him loudly, and said, "Old man Liu, get a bowl of bean curd and order some roasted white." Seeing the black man Liu Qingde, Qiuyun turned into a cold beauty again. She didn't put her feet into the restaurant, and said, "This is a bean curd restaurant. I don't eat bean curd." After speaking, she turned around and left. Liu Qingde is a special figure in Xinxiang. Even the mayor Jiang Dabing wants to show face. Even if most people have opinions in their hearts, they still have to show it.Being slapped in the face on the spot, he scolded: "A dog sits in a basket, and doesn't know how to praise." Looking at the slim back, he swallowed again, and said to himself: "This girl is really good." Hou Haiyang heard the last blatant words clearly, and thought in surprise: "This is the director of the school, how come he looks like a hooligan?" His words made him feel like he was fighting against the enemy. He originally wanted to follow his mother's instruction and pay for Liu Qingde, but now he had an idea in his mind, so he gave up paying the bill, finished his meal, said "Director Liu, eat slowly", and left the Douhua Restaurant. When Liu Qingde ate in restaurants, someone always paid for his meals. Hou Haiyang walked away, snorted, and cursed: "The little brat is ignorant, and he doesn't know how to pay for me." If you pay, you will not pay in cash, but by paying the bill. If you hang up too much, someone will help you pay. Hou Haiyang bought some daily necessities in the town, and met Qiuyun on the way back to school.Qiu Yun said: "I walked around the place, but there are no mosquito nets for sale. I will return you when I go to the county town to buy a mosquito net. There are too many mice. I am afraid that when I wake up at night, there will be one next to my pillow." "It's okay, I'm not afraid of mice." "Sorry, you can only use mosquito coils these days." Qiu Yun handed over the mosquito coils and said, "Mr. Hou, can you find a way to buy a cat? With a cat, I won't be afraid of mice." She In front of Liu Qingde and others, she had an attitude of being as cold as ice and rejecting others thousands of miles away. At this time, facing the sunny boy Hou Haiyang, she showed her true nature as a young woman. Hou Haiyang promised: "No problem, just wait a few days and I will definitely get you a cat." At eight o'clock, a thin bespectacled man came to the bungalow and said, "Qiu Yun, Hou Haiyang, Liu Youshu, Wang Rongfu, Zhao Ming, come to the teaching and research office for a meeting later." After gathering in the teaching and research section, Hou Haiyang learned that there were five fresh graduates from colleges and technical secondary schools assigned to Xinxiang Primary School and Xinxiang Middle School today. Qiuyun and Liu Youshu were teachers of Xinxiang Middle School, and the other three were teachers of Xinxiang Primary School. Dai Youming, the principal of Xinxiang Middle School, finally appeared.He is a typical image of the leader of a township school, wearing a low-quality, old-style suit, an old shirt, a dark red tie with a shiny collar clip on it, and dusty leather shoes with Traces of patching. The image of Dai Youming is the standard image of rural teachers.Because of their knowledge, they chose suits that represent the modern trend. Because of the low wages and closed environment, they all wore cheap suits. Cheap and good quality are often used together. In fact, cheap and good quality are opposites most of the time. Hou Haiyang has a natural affection for Dai Youming. The image of Dai Youming is also the image of his father. Every time his father wants to participate in formal activities, he also wears a low-end suit and a pair of old leather shoes. ": Due to the special reasons mentioned above, Xinxiang middle school and elementary school have always been two brands, one team, which is different from junior high schools and elementary schools in other places... Xinxiang people need professionally trained teachers, you fresh blood come , will change the backward hat of Xinxiang School..." At this point, Dai Youming looked at Qiuyun with a smile and said, "Qiuyun is a graduate of Lingxi Normal University, and he is serious about learning foreign languages. Just to teach students, I think it is necessary to train all the teachers once, and many English teachers in our middle school are self-taught." Hou Haiyang smiled secretly, he understood what it means to be self-taught.In rural middle schools, there is a serious shortage of English teachers. Most English teachers learn English by themselves through tapes and radio. Their English is both dumb English and English with a serious accent.Many teachers learn English in the same way as students, such as goodbye, they phonetic "Gu Gu Bai". After the opening remarks, Dai Youming deliberately began to arrange the work of the new teacher.Qiu Yun is an English class in the first grade of Ren’s junior high school. He specially emphasized: “Teacher Qiuyun teaches the first grade of junior high school. The students of the first grade of junior high school are just a blank sheet of paper, and they can draw newer and more beautiful pictures.” When mentioning Hou Haiyang, he said: "The principal of the Middle School Teachers' High School is an old friend of mine. I met him during the holidays. The principal Gao spoke highly of Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou not only studies well, but also actively participates in social activities. , Lao Gao also specifically asked me to add burden to Teacher Hou." Hou Haiyang was a little confused: "These official words are not credible. If these words are true, how can I be assigned to Xinxiang School?" Although he thought so in his heart, when he heard Dai Youming say this, his vanity was still got satisfied. "Ms. Hou is the class teacher in the first grade, and I have to teach the new knowledge I have learned from the beginning." Seeing Hou Haiyang's serious expression, Dai Youming raised his voice, "Ms. Hou, this is the decision of the school leaders to study collectively. It shows that the organization attaches great importance to you, and you must not disappoint the organization's hope." Hou Haiyang then withdrew his thoughts and said modestly: "I just joined the work, and I don't know if I can be a good head teacher." Dai Youming encouraged: "Don't worry, the school leaders will support you if anything happens." After the meeting, Dai Youming said: "Today is the new teacher's report. According to the tradition of Xinxiang School, we have to treat everyone to a simple meal." The five new teachers followed Dai Youming to the Xinxiang farm, and the welcome meals were arranged in the Douhua restaurant.After Dai Youming and the five new teachers sat down, the black man Liu Qingde also walked in and asked, "Old generation, what wine do you want for lunch, bottled wine or Xinxiang Laobaigan?" Dai Youming hesitated for a moment, and Liu Qingde immediately said: "Just drink Xinxiang Laobaigan. I don't think these people have a good capacity for drinking, so don't waste good wine." Dai Youming did not express any objection, and Liu Qingde began to greet the restaurant owner. Qiuyun intentionally or unintentionally chose a position farthest from the black man. Based on her intuition, this black man is a scumbag who dares to do something. The best way to deal with this kind of person is to respect ghosts and gods and stay away.After the five of them sat down, another middle-aged woman came in.Dai Youming introduced: "This is Wang Qin, vice principal, in charge of Xinxiang Primary School." Although Hou Haiyang's father is a private teacher, private teachers are also teachers. Hou Haiyang is quite familiar with the structure of township schools. In his impression, township schools have separate middle schools and primary schools. The structure of combining two primary schools into one is really exceptional.When he heard Wang Qin's name, he remembered his father's words and knew that the vice principal had helped him, so his eyes became more friendly. Wang Qin is a typical image of a rural female teacher. She wears a dark green jacket similar to a Chinese tunic suit.After sitting down, she looked at the new teachers and said, "Welcome, there are more and more students in the class, and the educational power of Xinxiang is getting stronger and stronger." Douhua and fat intestines were served on the table one after another. Dai Youming shouted to the outside of the room: "Director Liu, the banquet is open." Liu Qingde stood outside and did not come in for a long time.Dai Youming yelled a few more times before he came in, sat down, and said to Dai Youming: "Just now I met Director Zhu, he is on duty today, I asked him to come over and eat together." Dai Youming had already picked up the chopsticks, but put them down again when he heard the words, and said, "Director Zhu is coming, so let's wait." He said to the new teachers, "Xinxiang is in a mountainous area, and there are troublesome people out of poor mountains and bad waters." , Without the support of the police station, life at school is difficult.” Hou Haiyang is young and has a good digestive function. The bean curd rice in the morning has been digested without a trace. At this time, he is so hungry that his chest sticks to his back.While waiting for Director Zhu of the police station, looking at the bean curd and the steaming fat intestines, he swallowed. Ten minutes later, Director Zhu of the police station showed up.Director Zhu is in his forties, with a burly body, a large belly, and black eye circles and lips.After sitting down, he glanced at the new teachers blankly, and then regarded the new teachers as air, and said to Dai Youming: "Deputy principal, why hasn't the school lunch group opened yet? Don't let the current boss I came to contract, the food is well managed, and the attitude is not good. Last year, the students fought twice because of the food group. I will introduce you to a boss, which is definitely better than the current one." In the past, the school meal group was contracted by the sister-in-law of the director of the teaching office, Jin.In order to take care of his business, the school did not allow the students to go out to eat. For this reason, special regulations were formulated and a notice was issued, and teachers were sent to wait at the gate in turn at noon every day.In order to prevent the students from going out of the school during meal time, the students and teachers even resorted to violence. Dai You wanted to replace Director Jin's sister-in-law tomorrow morning, but the county magistrate was not as good as the current one. He was unwilling to offend Director Jin of the teaching office anyway. He did a lot of work and lost a lot of smiles, so he barely persuaded the students and teachers.In July this year, Director Jin jumped from Kuanluojiu to Miluojiu, and was transferred to a town in the suburbs as the director of the teaching office. For Director Jin, it was a promotion, but for Dai Youming, Director Jin was no longer in charge.After listening to Director Zhu's suggestion, he was moved.However, when Director Jin left, the tea in Xinxiang School would be cold. It is also an education system, and the rumors are not very good. Thinking of this, Dai Youming hesitated again. Liu Qingde added fuel to the fire, and said, "Director Zhu is a real person, and the person he introduced must be good. With Director Zhu as his escort, the school will not be afraid of ruffians like Liu Laoqi coming to make trouble." Director Zhu put a piece of fat sausage in his mouth, enjoying the pleasure brought by his mouth full of fat, and said, "You all know the people I introduced, Bao Qin." Liu Qingde said: "Bao Qin is a nice person." He leaned into Dai Youming's ear and said, "Bao Qin's brother is in the county organization department, and the big boss has to buy it." Dai Youming faltered and refused to readily agree. Another two people who looked like cadres came to the door of the Douhua restaurant. Liu Qingde stood up immediately with sharp eyes, and said enthusiastically: "Mayor Jiang, you haven't eaten too much, add them together." Jiang Dabing is characterized by being black and thin, with curly hair that sticks to his scalp. He is similar to Africans in terms of hairstyle and appearance.After he walked in, Dai Youming quickly gave up the wooden board under his buttocks, and took a plastic stool by himself.Liu Qingde said to the new teachers: "Why are you guys like logs? You don't even know how to move your buttocks. You go to sit on the plastic chairs and let the acting principal sit on the wooden boards." This round table is not big. Eleven people seemed crowded.Seeing that several other people had replaced the wooden boards that took up space with plywood boards, Hou Haiyang got up and changed them. Liu Qingde changed his usual arrogance, smiled brightly, and said, "Mayor Jiang, these are some new college and technical secondary school students. Nowadays, there are more and more students in the school, and there are a lot of talents." Jiang Dabing had a drink with Director Zhu, talked nonsense, and then spoke to Dai Youming: "The acting principal, the town government is short of writers, are there any of these five college students who can write articles this year? The government office wants to second one." The speaker seemed unintentional, but the listener was quite intentional. From this sentence, Hou Haiyang saw a step towards the town government.He has two favorable conditions. One is that under the strict requirements of his father, he imitated Yan Tie since he was a child, and he has quite a strong and dignified style of the Yan family.The second is to read a lot of Chinese and foreign masterpieces, and often publish articles in the Bashan Normal School newspaper, and two articles were published by the "Bashan Daily".With these two kinds of things, he feels that he is fully qualified for the secretarial work of the town government. "College student, don't be stunned, toast to the leader." Liu Qingde was in high spirits, waved his hand, and began to give orders. Hou Haiyang was the youngest, he didn't stand up immediately, but waited for the older people to toast first.The first person to toast was Zhao Ming. He rarely experienced such a scene, he shrugged and was at a loss.Liu Qingde then pointed out: "First respect Mayor Jiang and Director Zhu, then Director Shen, Acting Principal and Principal Wang. Each person is to respect a plate, and wholesale is not allowed." Drinking in the Douhua restaurant is very characteristic. The wine is served in a small round saucer. The small saucer looks shallow. Because of the wide opening, the capacity of the small wine glass is actually larger than that of ordinary small wine glasses.Zhao Ming drank five dishes in a row, his face was flushed, and his head rested on the table. Liu Qingde pointed to the other teachers, and said, "Zhao Ming drank, which one is up? Mayor Jiang is here today, and if you want to be transferred to the town government, you have to behave well." Working in the town government is naturally better than teaching. Hou Haiyang is quite yearning for it, but he can't understand Liu Qingde and others' high-spirited expressions and tone in front of the teachers. Graduates from colleges and township cadres are all muddy legs, and they just went to junior high school, so why should they be proud in front of us?" He had an opinion in his head, he hesitated in action, sat still, and looked at other people. teacher. Immediately afterwards, Liu Youshu left his seat with a glass of wine, came to Jiang Dabing, and said respectfully: "Mayor Jiang, my name is Liu Youshu. I graduated from the Chinese Department of Maodong Teachers College. I would like to recommend myself to Mayor Jiang. If I have the opportunity to work in the town government , I will definitely be able to complete the tasks assigned by the leader." Jiang Dabing looked at him and said, "Okay, when I write an article, let me, the boss, take a rough look." Liu Youshu bent at sixty degrees and said, "Mayor Jiang, I have a question, and I am willing to accept the test of the organization." Hou Haiyang looked down on Liu Youshu's curved waist. With his head down, he kept eating the bean curd in the bowl, and unconsciously ate two large bowls of dry rice. Liu Youshu, Zhao Ming, and Wang Rongfu all toasted successively, and only Hou Haiyang and Qiuyun did not toast in the end.Dai Youming drank a few glasses of wine, his face turned black and red, he squinted and shook his head, as if he was tasting the fine wine.Director Zhu was full of stomach. He only talked to Mayor Jiang, occasionally to Liu Qingde, and treated the rest, especially the new teachers, as transparent people.Liu Qingde was the most active, constantly persuading the new teachers to toast. The last time I ate at the Douhua restaurant, Hou Haiyang didn't take the initiative to pay the bill, which made Liu Qingde think. Seeing Hou Haiyang sitting firmly on the bench, he said, "Hou Haiyang, do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid? It's all here. Leader, toast." Hou Haiyang thought about it for a few times, and thought: "If I don't drink, I will vent my anger in front of Liu Qingde, but if I can't stand in front of Mayor Jiang, my hope of entering the town government will be small." After thinking for a while, he stood up and sincerely Authentic: "Mayor Jiang, Principal Liu, I graduated from the middle school this year, and I have never drank alcohol. If there is something wrong, please forgive me." Hearing Hou Haiyang's sincerity, Jiang Dabing said, "Now that you are working, you have to learn how to drink. Let's try drinking today." Hou Haiyang saw that Jiang Dabing had a good attitude and was calm, so he toasted, five dishes of wine Go down, not drunk.Jiang Dabing said: "This kid's alcohol capacity is not bad." Liu Youshu felt uncomfortable and nervous when he heard this praise, he raised his wine glass and made another round of toasts.Jiang Dabing also praised: "This baby's wine is good." Hearing Jiang Dabing's praise, Liu Youshu heaved a sigh of relief, and the spirit of drinking suddenly surged up. Liu Qingde aimed at Qiuyun again, and said, "Teacher Qiu, you haven't toasted yet." Qiu Yun picked up the tea beside her and said, "Respect everyone, I will replace wine with tea, and serve first." There was a firmness in her words that refused to be seen thousands of miles away, and a seriousness in her expression that made everyone laugh. Men don't talk too much. 午餐结束，刘友树、赵明、汪荣富三人都喝醉了，第一个敬酒的赵明完全不能行走，被汪荣富和代永明校长扶回去。喝醉酒的刘友树变得很兴奋，他端着酒杯站在蒋大兵面前不走，一个劲地吹嘘自己的文章写得好。蒋大兵开始还耐着性子同他说话，最后被弄得烦了，道：“老刘，你的家门喝醉了。” 刘清德喝得面色潮红，用手指着侯海洋，重重地哼了一声，道：“你，扶一下刘友树，啥子鸡巴酒量，还想到镇政府！” 侯海洋一点都不想在豆花餐馆多留，搀扶刘友树离开馆子。刘友树还不愿意走，站在蒋镇长面前作自我推荐：“蒋镇长，我是师专校学生会的宣传部副部长，写文章没有问题，不信可以给系里打电话。”最后一句话，刘友树是在吹牛，他在学校就是班上的宣传委员，从来没有在系学生会当过干部，更别说在校学生会了。 “刘老师，我们回去了。”侯海洋见蒋镇长脸上满是不耐，不禁替刘友树感到害臊，他与刘友树同为新乡学校的新教师，刘友树失态，他也感到脸上无光。他将刘友树半扶半拖着带回学校。走到半路上，刘友树情绪突然异常低沉，抱着侯海洋痛哭流涕，道：“海洋，新乡是什么破烂地方，我们是倒了八辈子血霉分到这里，女朋友要跟我分手，煮熟的鸭子都飞走了。” 回到平房，刘友树用手拉着门柱，不肯进去，道：“这床没有办法睡，潮湿得很，蚊子又多，还没有风扇，昨天我们三人到汪荣富家里去睡，他是本地人，条件好。”说到这里，他又哭又骂道：“我们不是本地人，为什么分到这个鸟不拉屎的鬼地方？” 侯海洋想着刘友树在蒋镇长面前的猥琐，又看他哭得这样伤心，一时不知如何评判，到了房间，将他扶到了床上，这才出了屋。
