Chapter 10 Liu Youshu's Way

Liu Youshu has been planning to be transferred to the town government. Hearing that Party Secretary Le Bin praised Hou Haiyang, he said anxiously, "Director Liu, you must help." Liu Qingde gritted his teeth, and said unhurriedly: "I will definitely help, otherwise I won't tell you about it. Le Bin doesn't want old teachers, and wants to select people from this batch of new teachers to the town government. It's you and the little bastard who are doing the work. The town government is about to hold a party committee to study the matter of the secondee, and my brother and mayor Jiang still have weight."

Liu Youshu understood the words, and said: "Director Liu, I don't know Mayor Jiang, and I don't know where the door of his house opens. Can you introduce me?" Liu Qingde put on a look of embarrassment, and waited until Liu Youshu pleaded again and again, before saying: "Whoever made us all the Liu family, I will help to the end. At eight o'clock in the evening, you prepare a piece of Hongtashan and two bottles of Maodong special music, come to find I." Returning to the dormitory with mixed feelings of joy and worry, Liu Youshu dug out all the money, a total of 48.20 yuan, and a piece of Hongtashan and two bottles of Maodong special tune cost at least 200 yuan.A penny made the hero anxious to death. He scratched his face in the room, and finally planned to borrow money from the teachers.Borrowing money is an embarrassing thing. The teachers in the Xinxiang school are not rich, and the town government has been in arrears of wages for several months, so everyone's pockets have been spread.For the transfer, Liu Youshu had the cheek to borrow more than 90 yuan, which was not enough to buy cigarettes and alcohol.

In desperation, he went to Liu Qingde's house, blushing and said: "Director Liu, I only have a hundred dollars, and I can barely buy cigarettes and alcohol. Can I borrow some money?" Liu Qingde turned around and went to the back room without saying a word, and took He paid a hundred yuan and said, "Hurry up, I'll take you to see Mayor Jiang tonight." After receiving the money, Liu Youshu was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. At eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Qingde brought Liu Youshu to Mayor Jiang's house.As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the sound of mahjong.Liu Qingde listened to a few words, his face beamed with joy, and he said to Liu Youshu: "My brother is also playing mahjong inside."

The person who opened the door was a fat middle-aged woman with a kind face.Liu Qingde called his sister-in-law and brought Liu Youshu into the house. "Mayor Jiang, are you feeling lucky?" Liu Qingde smiled all over his face, and scattered a circle of cigarettes for the mahjong players. Jiang Dabing glanced at Liu Youshu and asked, "Qingde, what's the matter?" Liu Qingde bent down, leaned close to Jiang Dabing's ear, and said, "Report something to Mayor Jiang, and it will take a few minutes." Jiang Dabing fired two cannons one after another, and hurriedly called back, saying: "You sit down for a while. Son, I'll play two more laps."

Liu Youshu stood foolishly with his cigarettes and alcohol in his hand. After Liu Qingde's gesture, he put the cigarettes and alcohol on the side of the sofa.The two sat for a while before Jiang Dabing left the mahjong table. Liu Qingde said: "Mayor Jiang, let's report to the back room." Jiang Dabing grinned: "There are no outsiders, if you have anything to say quickly." "This is Liu Youshu. He graduated from Maodong Teachers College and was assigned to teach Chinese in a middle school. His writing skills are very good. He wants to serve you in the town office."

Jiang Dabing glanced at Liu Youshu, and said bluntly: "We are looking for a writer this time. Whether you can write or not, let me tell you something." Liu Youshu still had some confidence in his pen skills, and said, "Mayor Jiang, I major in Chinese, and I often publish articles in the school newspaper at school." Jiang Dabing was eager to play cards, and he didn't want to talk about it, he said: "Well, that's good, send a written article to my office tomorrow." Leaving Jiang Dabing's house, Liu Youshu was naturally grateful to Liu Qingde, and when he returned to school, his body felt light, as if he was about to fly.

When I got off the stone ladder and walked across the playground, I heard the sound of thumping basketballs.Liu Youshu gave the mayor a great gift, full of confidence, and secretly said: "In today's society, if you don't treat guests and give gifts, how can you get things done? Hou Haiyang is not small and has many ideas, but he is still too young!" He stood by the playground and said, "Mr. Hou, can you see it so late?" Hou Haiyang carried the basketball to the side of the playground and made a passing posture.Liu Youshu was startled, and subconsciously dodged.Hou Haiyang laughed and said, "Mr. Liu, where are you hiding? It made me play basketball alone."

Liu Youshu said: "Basketball is not popular in Xinxiang School, but mahjong and poker are the most popular. Now when we go back to the dormitory, we are definitely fighting fiercely." The feeling of the sand blowing on the face..." On Monday, Wang Qin took several key primary school teachers to observe each class, mainly to observe the class situation of the new teachers. Hou Haiyang has lived in a primary school environment since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the snot-nosed child in front of him. He is impeccable in terms of classroom order and teaching level.After the inspection, Teacher Du said: "Principal Wang, I didn't expect Hou Haiyang to be quite good. Judging from his performance in class, he doesn't look like a new teacher at all. He is much better than Wang Rongfu."

Wang Qin intentionally introduced Hou Haiyang's situation: "Hou Haiyang was a student union cadre in the middle school, and he was a three-good student in Maodong City when he graduated." Teacher Du was very sophisticated, and heard the words: "How can such an outstanding young man be assigned to Xinxiang School? It must be nothing to do with the family. This society is really sick, and it should be cured with strong medicine. Qiuyun is from Lingxi Normal School. , also assigned to this ghost place, too nonsense." Wang Qindao: "Hou Haiyang's parents are private teachers, so it doesn't matter. But I am optimistic about Hou Haiyang, because gold always shines."

Teacher Du said: "The last sentence is spiritual opium, which poisons people. If Hou Haiyang stays in this big dye vat in Xinxiang for a few more days, he will definitely be assimilated. Principal Wang, you still have to find Secretary Le and let him Make up your mind to separate Xinxiang Middle School and Elementary School.” When she mentioned the current situation of Xinxiang Middle School and Primary School, she was full of complaints, and said: “Xinxiang School has no distinction between middle school and elementary school, which has become a strange thing in the education system of Bashan County. Teacher, you have to ask about this."

Wang Qin and Mr. Du were teachers who were assigned to Xinxiang at the same time. They can be regarded as bosom friends, and it doesn't matter if they are tall or short. , things have to be done one by one, the separation of middle schools and primary schools is the general trend, and it will be a matter of time before the families are separated.” When school was over at noon, Liu Qingde called Liu Youshu aside and said, "You were lucky. You arrived in time last night. The town government will hold a party-government joint meeting in the afternoon to discuss the secondment of teachers from Xinxiang School." Hearing the good news, Liu Youshu was both happy and apprehensive, and asked cautiously, "Director Liu, is there any change?" Liu Qingde said: "Whoever can explain this clearly will know after the meeting." He walked away with his hands behind his back. Liu Youshu chased after him: "I'll treat Director Liu to drink tonight." Liu Qingde smiled and said, "If it's good news, I'll treat you to dinner, and your money will be fine." Qiu Yun came down from the teaching building of the junior high school and saw Liu Qingde and Liu Youshu from a distance.She pretended not to see, and quickened her pace without looking sideways.Liu Qingde immediately threw Liu Youshu aside, went forward to meet him, stopped at the place where Qiuyun must pass, and said, "Teacher Qiu, let's exchange opinions." Liu Qingde concurrently served as the head teacher of Class One, Junior One, and Qiu Yun was the English teacher of Class One, Junior One. The purpose of this arrangement was to make it easier to get close to Qiuyun. Qiu Yun asked: "Director Liu, what's the matter?" Liu Qingde coughed twice, and said: "I have collected some opinions from the students in the first class of junior high school. I want to discuss it with you. I can't finish talking in a while. Go to my office." Qiu Yun said: "It's meal time now, there will be no food if it's late." Liu Qingde said: "It's easy to handle. I'll ask Bao Qin to fry a single portion and send it to the office." Qiu Yun said without any explanation: "There is no class in the second period in the afternoon. I will come to the office then, and I have to rest at noon. .” "You must come. I have collected some feedback from teachers and parents. It is very important." Liu Qingde looked at Qiuyun Pingting's figure, couldn't hold his eyes, and felt his saliva gushing like Baotu Spring in Jinan. When Qiuyun went to the food group for dinner, she met Hou Haiyang, and she asked, "I heard that you are doing well in class. The students are very welcome, and the teacher's feedback is also good." Hou Haiyang had a good class and was in a good mood. He said: "My ancestors had Jinshi in the Qing Dynasty, and the highest officials were servants. It doesn't matter if we are descendants. Being a child king is not a problem." He was joking, but Qiuyun took it seriously, and said: "No wonder you have something different from other teachers. This kind of book fragrance has been cultivated for a long time, and you can't pretend it. I see you have a set Can you lend me a copy of Jean-Christophe?" "No problem, come and get it later." Qiuyun had lunch in the dormitory, and borrowed books from Hou Haiyang's room. Hou Haiji was writing the teaching plan on the desk, and he had already written several long pages.The first page is "I am a primary school student", which is divided into several categories. The first category is education and teaching goals... The four categories are the education and training process, knowing the school name, grade, class... To encourage students to achieve their wishes , you can design some charts, such as: paste small red flowers, climb the "Three Good Mountains", see who has more small red flowers, etc.In the first few days of school, teachers can call names every day and ask students to stand up and answer "to" to help students get to know each other. The second page is "Go to school on time, go home on time"... Please ask each student to estimate the time, go to school on time, and go home on time.Contact the parents and cooperate with the school to urge the children to arrive at school on time and go home on time.Carry out polite language training when arriving at school, leaving school, leaving home, and arriving at home, and ask parents to assist in the training to form a habit. ... This page is "Preparing for class", so that students understand that preparing for class is the prerequisite for a good class.Learn to prepare for class as required, and gradually develop a good habit of preparing for class. Qiuyun pays more attention to the learning of professional knowledge, and basically does not do research on teaching.She flipped through the pages of the first semester of the first grade, and praised: "You are still very professional. It seems that I should also delve into the teaching methods." Hou Haiyang said: "These are very simple, just pay attention to it a little bit. The most difficult thing to learn is the major, especially English. This is the real skill." Qiu Yun took "John Christophe", opened it casually, saw the comment on it, and said: "The words are so elegant, who wrote this comment?" "My Father." "Your father's writing is really good, and your handwriting is also good. You really are a scholarly family." Qiu Yun admired it from the bottom of his heart. Hou Haiyang laughed at himself: "What kind of scholarly family, two generations of children's kings." In the afternoon, Hou Haiyang gave another high-quality class according to his plan, and Wang Qin and others who were listening behind were full of praise. While Hou Haiyang was immersed in teaching, a meeting was going on at the joint party and government meeting of the new township government that could affect his fate. At the joint party and government meeting of the town government, the first three issues were successfully passed, and the fourth issue was to second a teacher to the party and government office. Liu Qingyong, the deputy secretary in charge, said: "If the town wants to make achievements in the county, half depends on hard work and half depends on publicity. Xinxiang has done a lot of practical things in recent years, but it has rarely won awards. In the eyes of the leaders, work is very difficult. Generally speaking, one of the most important reasons is that the publicity work is not enough, and the amount of information reported to the county party committee ranks second to last in the county. In order to change this situation, you can consider seconding a teacher from Xinxiang School. According to Secretary Le’s request, this time Get a new teacher, not the old one." Le Bin has been the Secretary of the Party Committee of Xinxiang Township for more than a year. He heard rumors about the teachers in Xinxiang School eating, drinking and having fun, so he specifically said hello not to the old teachers. "After the previous stage of investigation and school recommendation, we have two shortlists. One is Liu Youshu, a graduate of Maodong Teachers College, majoring in Chinese language and literature. He is 24 years old and teaches in the junior high school; the other is Hou Haiyang, a teacher of Bashan Middle School. teaching in elementary school." After Liu Qingyong finished his introduction, Le Bin said, "Please express your opinions." Jiang Dabing didn't play tricks, and said bluntly: "Both Liu Youshu and Hou Haiyang have passed the initial test, which shows that both of them have the basic qualifications. Liu Youshu is a college student and is also older. I think Liu Youshu is more suitable for grassroots work." Le Bin looked around at the other deputies and said, "Everyone express their opinions." Jiang Dabing was the first to express his opinion, and the other deputy mayors and party committee members remained silent. Le Bin called by name and said: "Old Liu, you manage the organization and talk about your opinions." Liu Qingyong drank his saliva slowly, and said: "To be honest, Hou Haiyang's handwriting is beautiful, and the article has even been published in newspapers, but he is too young, not yet nineteen years old, and he is a technical secondary school student. From a work perspective, I personally think Liu Youshu is more suitable." Le Bin has had contact with Hou Haiyang before, and he admires the young man's unafraid of tigers. Of course, he only knew Hou Haiyang once, and he didn't have to use Hou Haiyang.He was more concerned about another matter. Before the meeting, he mentioned Hou Haiyang to Liu Qingyong, just to try some medicine sold in Liu Qingyong's gourd.at this time.Deputy Secretary Liu Qingyong still chose to support Jiang Dabing's proposal despite his own reminder. This is an attitude. He asked again: "What do you think?" The other deputies didn't speak, only a veteran deputy mayor said: "It's just a seconded teacher, you make a decision, no objection." Le Bin walked around with his eyes and made a final decision: "Then Liu Youshu will be settled." For him, there is not much difference in seconding Liu Youshu and Hou Haiyang to the office. The biggest gain is that he will see the situation in the town It will be beneficial for the next step of the work to be more clear. All news involving personnel at the party-government joint meeting will spread quickly without exception.In the afternoon, at the lunch group, when Liu Youshu appeared, some teachers began to joke: "Government Liu, you graduated from Xinxiang Middle School, so you have to think about your mother's family. When will you pay the wages you owe?" After paying a small price, Liu Youshu's fate has undergone a major turning point. He suppressed his joy and pretended to be modest and said: "I'm only on secondment, and I will go back to school sooner or later, just to work temporarily." Qiu Dafa said with certainty: "You are a meat bun. Dog, I’m gone forever.” He said to Hou Haiyang who was standing next to him: “Mr. Hou is not bad, he can get into the sight of the town government, and there will be opportunities in the future.” I hid my heart deeply, and responded to the teachers' inquiries and comfort with a smile. After dinner, he stood on the window sill drinking boiled water, stood in the yard with his hooked nose, and shouted: "Three missing one, three missing one." Soon, several people responded. When Li Suanlian came back, she saw that the mahjong had already been rubbed. She also stood in the yard, opened her mouth and shouted: "One lacks three, who will play?" After a while, another table was assembled. Hou Haiyang often laughed at his father's "scholarly family" and laughed at it. These four words have taken root in his heart under his father's teaching.When they arrived at Xinxiang School, these old teachers didn’t prepare lessons very much, and they didn’t correct their homework. The greatest pleasure in their spare time was playing mahjong. Hou Haiyang looked down on them for being such a loser. After losing the competition with Liu Youshu, Hou Haiyang was frustrated, but not discouraged.He made up his mind to study English while studying TV University.Although the way out in Xinxiang is temporarily unclear, opportunities always come to those who are prepared.The latter sentence is a motivational sentence that Zhu Yongqing, the vice principal of the Chinese Normal University, often said, and it often appeared in Hou Haiyang's mind during this period of time.Amidst the sound of mahjong and poker, he picked up the basketball and went to the playground, running alone in the empty basketball court, venting the excess energy in his body on the innocent backboard, the sound of bang bang reverberated in the gradually darkening in the school. In the morning, Hou Haiyang put the TV University registration form in his pocket, and when the two morning classes were over, he came to the Office of Academic Affairs. "I want to study at Radio and Television University. Here is the registration form, which needs a stamp from the school." "No." Liu Qingde looked at the registration form, and two words came out of his mouth. "I won't affect my work." Liu Qingde didn't look at the registration form, and said slowly, "Going to study is a good thing, and the school supports it." He bent down and took out a document from the drawer, and said, "This is the school's regulations on studying at radio and television universities and other schools. The teachers who study have to be studied by the school. In your case, don’t consider it for the time being.” How could one not bow his head under the eaves? Hou Haiyang couldn't help lowering his voice: "Director Liu, I've already contacted the Radio and Television University, can you think about it?" Liu Qingde was a cat at this time, seeing the stubborn little mouse finally came to his palm automatically, he didn't hide his pride, and said with a smirk: "This is a system, and it is not right for people, Mr. Xiaohou!" , You have just arrived at school, and you have to concentrate on your work. Don’t think about being transferred to the town government for a while, and thinking about studying at the Radio and Television University for a while. Doing a good job is the most important thing for you right now. Young people, don’t be so ambitious.” After being ridiculed, Hou Haiyang became angry and pressed down hard on his stomach: "I study at my own expense, and I don't need to be reimbursed by the school." Liu Qingde's attitude is very good, and he answers all questions: "This is not a question of money, but a question of the system. The school is a radish and a pit. If you go to study, you have to have a teacher to take the class. Besides, there must be a first come, first come, old teacher. You are also lining up the wheels, so why do you come here to learn?" Hou Haiyang had nothing to say, and returned to the classroom resentfully. He then went to Wang Qin, who also mentioned this document. He didn't go to the Chengzhen government, and his study at TV University was in vain. Hou Haiyang was so depressed that he sat in the office and didn't care to read the lesson plans. "A living person will not be suffocated to death by urine. I must find a way to escape from this tomb in Xinxiang." Although I have made this determination, it is not easy to realize it. Breathe, nowhere to exert force. "Cross the stormy seas of the world with a boat made of flesh and blood." Hou Haiyang silently recited a passage from Bacon's "On Life" in his heart. The fourth class was a class meeting. Hou Haiyang walked into the classroom and put his unhappiness behind him for the time being. At the door, he tried to squeeze out a smile. Hou Haiyang has attended many class meetings since he was a child. When he arrived at Xinxiang School, several new teachers went to a class meeting with Zhao Liangyong.At the end of the lecture, the new teachers thought it was good, but Hou Haiyang didn't think so. Zhao Liangyong was good at eloquence, but the form was rather rigid. He wanted to use motivational teaching methods to improve students' self-consciousness in learning. Hou Haiyang came to the blackboard at the back and said loudly: "Today we are playing a game, and everyone is watching me." The first-grade children were very ignorant when they first arrived at school, and they all turned around when they listened to the teacher's instructions. "This blackboard is a big booth and a field. Now I have divided this field into many pieces." Hou Haiyang took out the small cards he had prepared in advance and said, "I have some cards here, which classmate If you perform well, we will post a small card, and when you get enough 20 cards, you will be exchanged for a piece of land. The name of the classmate will be written on this piece of land, and a house will be drawn at the same time as your performance record house for this semester. .After collecting 20 more, they can be exchanged for refrigerators, washing machines, TVs and other home appliances to decorate their own houses. Children who decorate a lot will be excellent students at the end of the semester, and they can get different honors and prizes.” After the students understood, Hou Haiyang announced the winners of the first five cards.The emotions of the students in the class were mobilized. It just so happened that Wang Qin, Liu Qingde and others came to check on the class. When they heard the noise of the class, they stopped and stood at the back window looking in. Liu Qingde snorted: "What are you doing, the classroom discipline is so chaotic. If you don't have a good class, you'll just put on all these ostentatious things." Wang Qin turned over the plywood and said, "This is a class meeting. I think it's good. The lower grades are different from the upper grades. They have to carry out some activities. The rigid class meetings are not liked by children at all. Hou Haiyang is very good at class. There is a way, not like a new teacher at all." Liu Qingde and Wang Qin had always been at odds. One said yes, but the other was about to say no. He snorted: "Even if Hou Haiyang is capable, he can't be reused. Xinxiang School can't keep him." Wang Qin didn't argue with Liu Qingde, she changed the subject and said, "Hou Haiyang's house has serious leaks, and water is still leaking from the house. It's too humid, so we have to find a way to clean it up." Liu Qingde is not only the teaching director, but also actually in charge of the logistics. He said: "This room has been repaired many times, but the problem has not been solved. Next time, find a good teacher." Hearing Liu Qingde's tone, Wang Qin knew that he was procrastinating , both angry and helpless. After school at noon, Hou Haiyang first went to the lunch group to get food, and went back to the dormitory sullenly.As soon as they got off the stone ladder, they heard a few quarrels. Li Suan, with her hips on her hips, said, "Qiu University, what are you going to do? I moved outside the corridor to cook, is it hindering you?" Qiu Yun didn't show any weakness, and said: "You are Zhu Bajie who beat the nails and rakes. Look at where the kerosene stove is placed. Why is it placed under the window?" "The wind is going to blow this way, what can I do? If you don't put it here, why don't you put it at the door of Qiu Dafa? You are too selfish." Li Suansuan used to cook vegetables in the room. With that, no objection was raised.The new Qiuyun was much tougher than Teacher Zhang, and after a few quarrels, seeing that Qiuyun was about to throw the stove, she finally compromised and moved the kerosene stove outside the corridor to cook.When cooking in the aisle, when the wind blows, the kerosene stove will be affected, which makes Li Suansuan very upset. Today, when she lit the fire, she saw the wind, so she put the stove under the window. Seeing the teachers coming back with bowls, Qiuyun didn't want to let others watch like a monkey show. She closed the window, pulled down the curtain, and slowly ate the tasteless food. Hou Haiyang walked by with the food, Li Suansu said loudly on purpose: "Mr. Hou, come, have some scrambled eggs." Hou Haiyang has always disliked Li Suansu, he didn't show it, and said politely: "Thank you, no need." Said, and walked away quickly. While eating in the dormitory, remembering how happy his father was when he came back from Bashan County, Hou Haiyang felt uncomfortable for a while, both for his father and himself.He dug out Bacon's "On Life", found the chapter "On Adversity", and read silently: "He once sat on a pottery urn or a kettle, and crossed the vast sea... A boat made of flesh and blood, to cross the stormy seas of the world." I have seen this sentence before, and I have read it as I have seen it, and I don’t have too many thoughts. At this time, my life in Xinxiang School is not going well. Rereading the philosophical thoughts of the ancestors feels like talking face to face. After a few mouthfuls of tasteless food, Hou Haiyang found out the English book given by his sister and wrote down ten words to remember today.He knew that his pronunciation was inaccurate, so he couldn't control it so much at this time, he had to memorize the words first before speaking. After school in the afternoon, Hou Haiyang habitually walked into the reception room, waiting for Lu Ming's letter.The last time he failed to attend the appointment, on the one hand, he was worried that Lu Ming would wait in the county for a long time, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Lu Ming would be angry. After receiving the notice that he could not attend the appointment, he immediately wrote a letter to explain, and then waited anxiously for a reply.I read the letter every day, and I was disappointed again and again. As soon as he walked into the reception room today, Li Suansu raised the letter in his hand and said, "Xiaohou, your letter was written by a female classmate, right? How did you get assigned to Tieping Primary School? It's not much better than Xinxiang." Hou Haiyang deliberately suppressed his sense of happiness, and said, "I have never been to Tieping, and it is said that it is remote." After taking the letter, he couldn't wait to see it quickly, and opened it when he got to the playground, and read it slowly word by word, always worried read it. "Great, it turns out that Lu Ming also missed the appointment." The Tieping Primary School where Lu Ming works is also facing the problem of the sixth grade. She couldn't keep the appointment and was so anxious that she wrote a letter to Hou Haiyang to explain.The two letters sent from Tieping and Xinxiang respectively carried the feelings of boys and girls, and they met at the post office leisurely, and then went north and south without any haste.After a few days of journey, they arrived at their destinations. "My future is not a dream. I live every minute seriously..." Knowing that Lu Ming did not attend the appointment, Hou Haiyang was in a happy mood. He sang this high-pitched old song while walking, and the bad luck in the morning was swept away. . On Saturday afternoon, the school will conduct political studies.When Dai Youming was speaking happily on the stage, Zhao Liangyong raised his hand and said, "Deputy Principal, I'm asking for leave and I'm going to take a bus." When Dai Youming was talking about the excitement, he was displeased, and said: "This is a political study. Director Zhang of the teaching office will come later, and he is holding an office meeting in the town." Zhao Liangyong said nonchalantly: "The school does not pay wages. I can't get rid of the blame. I have to go home to get the money. If the acting principal is willing to pay me or lend me money, I will continue to participate in political studies." They responded one after another. Firstly, the study of politics was too boring. Secondly, it was true that the town’s wage arrears had become unbearable.Hou Haiyang's heart is like a cat's scratching, he can't wait to go up and hug Zhao Liangyong and kiss him a few times. Dai Youming looked at the time, he and Wang Qin exchanged glances, Wang Qin said: "Old Zhao is telling the truth, let him go early today, besides, it is uncertain when Director Zhang will come." Only then did Dai Youming say: "Okay, the meeting is adjourned." The teacher who was in a hurry to go back to the city flew back to the dormitory to pack up his things. Hou Haiyang had already made preparations, so instead of going back to the dormitory, he went straight to the town.After waiting for a while, a passenger car appeared in front of him with dust.The passengers filed down, and Hou Haiyang was already prepared. He was like a 100-meter sprinter. When the last passenger came down, he squeezed into the car like a fish and grabbed a middle seat. In a few minutes, the bus was full.A few teachers from Xinxiang School walked quickly from the edge of Changzhen with their bags.Seeing these teachers, Hou Haiyang began to regret his choice: "These teachers should stand in the middle when they come up. 8 Should I give up my position? If I knew this, I should have chosen the last position." Sure enough, a few teachers came up and stood in the middle. Li Suansuan was also among them, and scolded: "Dai Youming has a lot of official addiction, and he shows off in political studies, so there is no seat." She saw Hou Haiyang, and said: "Mr. a location." Seeing Li Suansu's big bag and small bag, Hou Haiyang was embarrassed to sit down and said, "Mr. Li, come and sit down." Li Suansu had this intention a long time ago, and pretended to evade: "How good is this, it will take two hours." After the words were spoken, Hou Haiyang was reluctant, so he gave up his seat. Several teachers stood in the aisle, talking and laughing happily.The conductor walked up to the door and said, "Buy a ticket." The words were like Sun Wukong's immobilization method, which fixed the conversation and laughter of several teachers in mid-air, and they deliberately ignored the conductor. It seems petty to only buy your own ticket when everyone rides together, but it’s really not worth it to give everyone the real ticket. Moreover, some people have good psychological quality and always pretend to be deaf and dumb. They will never take the initiative to buy tickets. people often suffer. Zhao Liangyong stood at the front. He took the initiative to break the silence and said, "There is no salary, and everyone has no money. Everyone buys their own." Hou Haiyang breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't have much money in his pockets, it was the fleas on the moth's head, every one was counted, and if you use one, you will lose one.After buying a bus ticket, he felt that he was very petty, and secretly said: "When I have money, I will hire a bus for the teachers, free of charge." After standing for more than two hours, the car finally arrived at Bashan County.Pedestrians coming and going outside the station, popular songs all over the street, and fast taxis on the road all brought Hou Haiyang back from the closed Xinxiang to the modern Bashan County. Bashan County is close to Maodong City, and Maodong City is only 50 kilometers away from Lingxi City, the capital of Lingxi Province. Geographically speaking, Bashan County is deeply radiated by the capital of Lingxi Province. Although it is inland, it is not closed.The county seat is known as "Seventy-one Streets", which is a homonym for "Actually One Street". All government agencies and commercial stores are concentrated on this street, and it is very lively with people coming and going. After breaking up with Zhao Liangyong and others, he was looking around on the street when someone behind him called softly, "Hou Haiyang." This soft call hit Hou Haiyang's heart like a spring thunder. He was looking forward to this call day and night in Xinxiang School, in countless days and nights.Staring at the four eyes, the other party still looks like when he was studying in the middle school, but there are some inexplicable changes in the brows. "Did you get the letter?" "Did you get the letter?" The two said almost the same thing, and then laughed at the same time. Classmate for three years, did not say a few words.After graduating, they fell in love in a hurry. They only met each other for two days, and they went their separate ways.The two were walking on the streets of Bashan, with thousands of words in their hearts, and they couldn't say it for a while. After walking randomly on the street for a while, Hou Haiyang asked, "Is Tieping in arrears of wages?" "Why not? It wasn't issued in the past few months, and half of it will be issued from this month. No other bonuses will be issued." Hou Haiyang said: "You still have bonuses, which are better than ours. Nowadays, all schools have no money. It seems that it is a big failure to transfer schools to townships. If the education bureau still distributes the money, it will not be as miserable as it is now. I never I brought 100 yuan at home, but I only have seven yuan left.” "We're all pretty much the same, and they're all waiting for a replacement salary." Thinking of the embarrassment at home, Lu Ming's expression was a little gloomy. After chatting for a few words, the atmosphere became harmonious, Lu Ming was as pure as a lotus in water, Hou Haiyang couldn't take his eyes off, and was dumbfounded. Lu Ming became shy and said, "What are you looking at, it's not like I haven't seen it before." "I haven't seen you for a while, you have become so beautiful." "real?" "Do not lie to you." Both of them were not economically slack, so in order to save money, they came to the old city wall near the side entrance of the Zhongshi Normal University.When I was studying, my classmates sometimes came here to make a deal to improve the food, so I am very familiar with the restaurants here.They chose a familiar and quiet corner, ordered a piece of fried meat, a piece of cabbage soup and fried lettuce, and ate with relish.The dishes of the Xinxiang food group were indeed like pigweed. At this time, Hou Haiyang almost bit his tongue when he ate the shredded pork with green pepper fried in a small pot. Lu Ming didn't eat much, so she poured most of the fried meat into Hou Haiyang's bowl, then rested her chin, watching her boyfriend sweep the dishes on the table affectionately.After taking the last bite of rice, she said, "Boss, fry another serving of shredded pork with green peppers." "Lu Ming, I'm enough." "I know you eat a lot and are famous in school." While waiting for a new plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers, Hou Haiyang stared at Lu Ming intently, and thought, "Lv Ming has become my girlfriend, why didn't I find it so pretty before, the middle school has a lot of time that I haven't used in three years, What a pity." After eating, the two entered the Secondary Normal School through the side door.After studying in the middle school for three years, I am very familiar with every plant and tree in the courtyard.On the playground, a dozen or so students were playing football. On the basketball court a little further away, there were whistles, as if there was a regular game.Although I have only been away from school for more than two months, when I return to campus at this time, I don’t have the same feeling as before. I always feel that I am looking at the campus through the glass. I can see clearly, but I can’t feel the real temperature of the campus. The two walked along the edge of the playground for a while, and came to the southernmost wall. Part of the wall is broken here, and behind the wall is a deserted hill, rarely visited by people, and it is a holy place for secondary school students to date.Climbing up the wall, Hou Haiyang squatted on half of the wall, stretched out his hand, and pulled Lu Ming up. Hou Haiyang held Lu Ming's hand, but refused to let go, Lu Ming blushed slightly, and let him hold his hand.When he came to a section of the wall where the woods were densest on the hillside, Hou Haiyang found a big rock and said, "Let's sit here for a while." At this time, the sun had already set in the west, the sky was getting dark, and a mysterious color appeared in the woods.Snuggle up with the beautiful woman, watch the last rays of the sun sink into the sky, and the mountain wind blows through the treetops, making a rushing sound.Hou Haiyang said with emotion: "Lu Ming, we wasted three years of good time. Before this time, I basically spent it on the basketball court. What are you doing?" "At this time, I usually take a walk on campus, or go to the roof to read a book." After chatting for a while, Hou Haiyang talked about his encounters in Xinxiang, especially when he mentioned the dream of TVU. Lu Ming felt the same way, saying: "I was also rejected. I couldn't figure it out at first, but then I thought about it. Waiting for a place to study, it is common sense for newcomers like us to wait." "Most of the teachers in Xinxiang Middle School are not enterprising. They only know how to play cards and drink in their spare time. Few of them have the habit of reading." "Hang Hai, you have to look at this issue in a different way. These teachers are stuck in the countryside and see no hope. It's not bad to be willing to stay in poverty and stay in school." While speaking, Hou Haiyang tentatively put his hands on Lu Ming's waist.At Erdaoguai School, the two hugged and kissed, but that time it developed very quickly and suddenly, and both of them thought it was a dream when they recalled that day.This meeting by the fence is to transform the dream situation into real life behavior. The sky was getting dark, and a shining star appeared in the sky. 侯海洋抱紧了吕明，让其斜躺在自己怀里，他低下头，亲吻着心爱人的额头、鼻子、眼睛，然后，两张渴望的嘴巴凑在了一起。 亲吻的滋味，在小说中传得很神奇，可是对于两位干柴烈火的年轻人来说，还有着比亲吻更加激动之事。侯海洋的手伸进了吕明的衣服里，在后背上摩挲着，年轻女子细嫩的肌肤在雌性激素作用下更具弹性，让他流连忘返。 吕明闭着眼睛，一副任君采摘的模样。她从小生活在乡村，受到比较完整的传统教育，这让她很难主动追求肉体的享乐，但是传统教育压抑不住青春萌动，当那一双手握住胸前那一对饱满时，她舒服得呻吟出来。当呻吟声即将冲破口唇时，她豁然醒悟，赶紧睁开眼睛，迎面正是另一双火热的眼睛。 借着月光，侯海洋如捧着珍宝一般握着两只雪白坚挺的乳房。抚摸是一种享受，在月光下细细观赏是另一种层次的享受。 在激昂的荷尔蒙催动下，下身积累已久的能量如破堤洪水，不断想冲破大堤。侯海洋忍不住将一双渴望之手向下延伸。 吕明沉浸在幸福和快乐之中，裙子被撩起，山风吹拂到皮肤上，她仍然闭着眼睛，没有动。当那只手隔着内裤来回抚摸时，她亦没有动。当那只手伸进了内裤时，她这才抓住了那只手。睁开眼睛，看着另一双闪亮的眼睛。 “我爱你，海洋。” “我也爱你，吕明。” 两人拥抱在一起，从九点到十点，再从十点到十二点。到了凌晨五点，吕明坐在山坡上，侯海洋躺在她的怀里，沉沉睡去。 天亮时分，侯海洋醒来，问：“你没有睡吗？” 吕明用手抚着侯海洋的短发，目光中透着柔情，她俯下身，主动亲吻了侯海洋，低声说了句：“侯海洋，你是我的心肝。” 相聚的时间甜蜜却格外短暂，两人吃过早饭后，又回到校园，绵绵情话没有说够，转眼就到了分手的时候。 到铁坪的客车和到新乡的客车基本上是同时出发，两人在车站依依话别。侯海洋道：“虽然不能读广播电视大学，但是我仍然在学英语，只要英语学得好，是金子总会发光。” 吕明想不通学英语有什么用处，她的想法很现实：“学英语没有什么用处，还不如钻研业务，若是教书教得好，出了名，也有调到城里的机会。” 想着新乡镇政府、教育局以及学校领导这些形形色色的人，侯海洋感到了压力和失望，道：“没有关系，只靠老老实实教书，难上加难！我爸无论是教学水平和教学态度，在柳河镇都有名气，还不是当了一辈子民办教师，也不知道到退休有没有转正的希望。” 吕明到铁坪教书以来，心情一直颇为压抑，在整个约会过程中小心翼翼不提这个话题，就是怕影响了心情。在站台分手，两人还是得直面这个现实。她安慰道：“你不是常说活人不会被尿憋死吗，走一步算一步，现在空想没有意思。” 侯海洋咬着牙齿，道：“你放心，我会杀出一条血路的，但是要给我时间。” 上了车，吕明透过车窗看着朝另一辆客车上的侯海洋，眼角出现了泪水。从读书以来，她就对英俊潇洒且才华横溢的侯海洋有了相思之心，毕业以后，两人奇迹般地走到一起。本来应该幸福的她却始终觉得空落落的。 “身上只有十来块钱，在新乡小学当孩子王的他，能否将自已的弟弟和妹妹带出农村，这实在是个遥远的未知数。” 吕明看着侯海洋的眼光中充满着柔情，这个男人是她心底深处的最爱，不管什么情况，永远是她的最爱。 侯海洋心思也复杂，不过他想得更多的是如何改变现状。坐在客车上，他陷入沉思之中：“如何才能改变命运？这是摆在当前最重要的课题，自己的优势在于毛笔字写得好，能写几笔文章，会打篮球，上课亦行，劣势在于这些东西除了教书以外基本没有用处，自己只有中专文凭，位于全县最偏僻的新乡镇，而且还得罪了教导主任。”豪言去掉以后，现实问题就变得很棘手，左思右想，他心中实在无底。 从县城回来以后，吕明脑里总是回想着与侯海洋在一起缠绵的甜蜜时光，禁不住脸红心跳。到了铁坪，她仍然沉浸在幸福之中。 “大妹。”一声熟悉的称呼打断了吕明的思绪，她这才看见父亲提着口袋站在公路边。 “爸，你怎么来了？” “这是家里的米。”吕明的父亲吕思进是个老实巴交的社员，名字是好名字，五官也端正，穿了一件乡镇赶集时买的地摊货，还是中山装样式，套在身上，有一种说不出的土气。 “我在这里吃伙食团，用不着米。” 吕思进道：“家里的米还是好吃些。” 父女俩一起回到了学校，铁坪学校与新乡学校大体相似，稍有不同的是铁坪小学和铁坪中学是分开的，各有各的地盘。铁坪小学住房是不太正规的套房，两间房带了一个面积比较小的客厅。一个老师一间房子，不需要两名老师挤在一起。 “你们住这种房子？”吕思进家里住着土墙房子，见到红砖墙房子，感到很满意。 “县里正在搞普六，学校房子很快就要重新修过，到时有可能一个老师一套房子。”吕明知道父亲所来何事，与情郎见面的幸福感被一洗而尽。 吕思进搓了搓手：“那就好，那就好。” “爸，你过来有事吗？是不是二妹的事？” 吕思进憨憨地笑了笑，道：“弟弟成绩好，肯定考得起县里头的初中，家里的情况你晓得，为了供你们三个读书，借了不少钱。” 吕明打断父亲，道：“爸，别说了，在暑假我就说过，让二妹到我们学校来读初中。我已经给校长说了，他同意了。” 吕思进长长地松了一口气，将二妹放到吕明这里，意味着以后二妹的生活费、学费都要由大妹来负担。他赔着小心道：“二妹的成绩好，她以后有了饭碗，不会忘记姐姐的。” “别这样说，我是姐，应该的。”吕明从柜子里取了一把干面，又拿了两个碗，放了酱油和猪油，道，“爸，我去隔壁煮点面条。” 隔壁住着一位拖儿带女的朱教师，平时自己煮饭吃，与吕明关系处得挺好。当吕明借锅煮面之时，朱老师还特意拿了点肉臊子，趁着吕明不留意，挖了两勺到面碗里。 一位白白胖胖的年轻人走了进来，手里提着两条鱼，进门道：“姑妈，给你带了两条鱼。”他进门看到正在煮面的吕明，明显愣了愣。将鱼放进桶里后，年轻人一边与姑妈说话，一边用眼光瞅着吕明。等到吕明端着碗离开，他眼里冒光，道：“姑妈，吕老师有男朋友没有？” 朱教师点了点年轻人的额头，道：“柄勇，你是不是看上吕老师了？眼光不错。” “她到底有没有男朋友？” “听说有一个，是中师的同学，好像分到新乡教书，另外还有县教育局的人给她写信。” 详细问了吕明的家庭情况，得知其家庭困难，朱柄勇信心百倍，他站在门口，朝外瞅了瞅，道：“姑妈，我看上吕老师了，一见钟情，只要她没有结婚，我就有机会。那个在新乡教书的老师匠，根本不是我的对手，至于县教育局的人，远水不解近渴。” 第二天早上，吕明出去买馒头。刚进门，就听到朱老师的声音：“这是我的侄儿，大家都是邻居，别客气。” 吕思进手里提着三条活蹦乱跳的草鱼，正在朝一个年轻人手里推，道：“这咋子要得，咋子要得。” 年轻人道：“我叫朱柄勇，朱老师是我姑妈。我在财政所工作，管到农林特产税，与鱼塘老板熟得很，以后吕老师要吃鱼，给我说一声就是。”吕明被弄得有些蒙。朱老师热情地道：“吕老师，快点把鱼放到桶头，这是我的侄儿小朱，给你说过的。”见吕明还在客气，便假装生气：“吕老师，我们是邻居，你这样，那就见外了。” 吕明性格内向，情感细腻，敏感地觉察了朱老师的意思，低头不说话。吕思进瞧了女儿一眼，将三条草鱼放到了桶里。 朱柄勇取出一包烟，白色底子，红色的塔，是十元钱一包的红塔山。“吕叔，抽烟。”吕思进下意识将手在裤脚上擦了擦，刚刚接过烟，朱柄勇啪地打燃了火机，将火递到了吕思进嘴前。 吕思进面有猪相心头嘹亮，见小伙子机灵，又是财政所的干部，心里便满意了几分。他慢慢地抽着烟，仿佛见到眼前的年轻人成了自己的女婿。
