Chapter 19 Accumulating steps can lead to thousands of miles

With the pursuit of life, the spiritual head is naturally enough.Hou Haiyang bought the farm pepper from Ma Manzi's house next door, added the dried chili left by Mr. Ma Guangtou, and cooked a pot of spicy pointed fish. Compared with pickled cabbage pointed fish, it had a different flavor.Qiuyun ate until the tip of his nose was sweating, and he was addicted to it.After eating, he took the initiative to stand by the stove to wash the dishes. Her wrists are white and slender, and her fingers are slender and flexible. They are hands for playing the piano.At this time, the pair of pianists were dexterously flying over the thick pot platform.At eight o'clock, Qiuyun was about to leave Niubeiduo and go back to Xinxiang. Hou Haiyang took her out with a flashlight.

When going down the mountain, there were many bamboo leaves on the path and the road was extremely slippery. Hou Haiyang lit it with a flashlight, and reached out to hold Qiuyun on the steepest few steps of the ladder.Down the slope, walked up to the paddy field. 7 The ridge of the rice field stretched and twisted along with the terrain, and the two held hands, one behind the other, groping forward under the faint light of the flashlight. After walking through the rice field, Hou Haiyang was hesitating whether to let go, when a dog barked violently from the house by the road, especially fierce in the night sky.Qiu Yun is used to the bright street lights in the city, and the dark rural roads are quite dangerous in her eyes. She holds Hou Haiyang's hand tightly and hides behind him.

Walking on the highway, Hou Haiyang looked up at the sky and said, "The sky is full of stars, so beautiful. You can't see such a pure sky in the city." Hou Haiyang's relaxed words came to his ears, and Qiu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she feel that the hand-in-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder posture with Hou Haiyang was quite intimate. She didn't resist, but felt warm. The road without lights was three miles long, but Hou Haiyang thought it was very short. At the gate of Xinxiang School, Hou Haiyang sent Qiuyun up the bluestone ladder, and then let go. Qiu Yunyang straightened his hair with his hands, and said softly: "The way back is not easy, slow down." Hou Haiyang felt the urge to hold Qiuyun in his arms, resisted it, and asked again: "Are you going home on Sunday?" ?”

"No." Darkness covered Qiu Yun with a gray expression. "Then you come to Niubei Tuo and teach me English. I'll treat you to eat pointed fish. I'm also going to cook some Shaobai, Jiebo." Shaobai is a special dish in Bashan. It uses third-line pork as the main ingredient, cut into pieces Thin slices, fried in oil in a pan, and then steamed together with rural soil salt vegetables, fat but not greasy, it is a good dish to satisfy cravings. "Ok." Hou Haiyang asked again: "Does Liu Qingde still dare to pester you?" Qiu Yun took out a pair of scissors from his pocket, and said, "If he really dares to pester him, I will let him die."

Listening to his voice, Hou Haiyang still felt that Liu Qingde did not give up.At this time, he had the idea of ​​smashing the pot, the idea of ​​going to university, and the idea of ​​doing business to find money, but he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​staying in Xinxiang, and the idea of ​​teaching Liu Qingde again was throbbing in his heart: " Well, sooner or later I'll have to teach him a lesson. You go, I'm going to town on Saturday afternoon, come back on Sunday morning, and you come over to eat fish and roasted whites in the afternoon." "Okay, on Saturday I eat vegetarian for one day, and I have a tooth festival on Sunday."

Qiu Yun walked back to Xinxiang School along the bluestone ladder, Hou Haiyang left the school bungalow, Zhao Hai also left, most of the teachers went to the TV room to watch TV, and the teachers' dormitory was even more deserted.Back in the dormitory, she put on the earphones, and the familiar English came to her face immediately, which took her to another world.Gradually, he returned from the English-speaking world to the real world, and put the hand that had been held on his nose. There was a faint smell of sweat, very manly. Her face blushed inexplicably, and she thought to herself, "What's the matter with me, I always want to run towards the bull's back, Hou Haiyang is just an eighteen-year-old boy, he doesn't suit me, besides, I will go to graduate school sooner or later Yes." In my heart, I listed all kinds of incompatibility with Hou Haiyang, but the palm of my hand always felt like being held by a big and warm hand.

Hou Haiyang is also distracted, since he broke up with Lu Ming in the letter, he has not had any intimate contact with girls, and he walked with Qiuyun hand in hand for a while, which made him feel angry. In the yard, he punched two times in succession, and then flipped on the horizontal bar. Ma Manzi drank and chased and beat his wife next door.The barbarian's wife scolded as she ran: "You who have been paid a thousand dollars, drink less if you can't drink horse urine, you ****, you really beat me." "Teacher Hou, come and save me. I killed someone." Hou Haiyang climbed over the fence and saw the couple fighting in the yard. Ma Manzi was so drunk that he pulled his wife's hair and beat him hard.Ma Manzi's wife was fat and strong, but her hair was grabbed and she was beaten until she screamed.After climbing over the wall, Hou Haiyang hugged Ma Manzi forcefully from behind. Ma Manzi kicked left and right, but he couldn't get rid of his arms like iron hoops.Ma Manzi's wife put her hands on her hips, took a few breaths, then turned around and hugged Ma Manzi's legs, and the two of them threw Ma Manzi onto the bed like a dead pig.After a while, Ma Manzi snored evenly.

Seeing that Ma Manzi was asleep, Ma Manzi's wife had a smile on her face. Her nose and lips were bleeding. This smile looked quite weird. "Eat a few oranges." She took a few large oranges with thin skins and stuffed them into Hou Haiyang's arms. Hou Haiyang knew that the couple were rough people, so he was not polite, took the tangerine, climbed over the fence, and went back to school. Sitting on the roof terrace, the cold wind that slid over the treetops made people shiver.Hou Haiyang ate the cold Guangxiang and thought for a while about Lu Ming who was far away in Tieping.Lu Ming's choice is like a slow knife cutting flesh, the more he thinks about it, the more painful it becomes.At this time, Qiuyun is like a bowl of herbs, relieving physical and mental pain bit by bit.

After his cheeks were numb from the blowing, Hou Haiyang came downstairs, thinking in his mind: "Call Director Du of the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to discuss the matter of wild pointedhead fish. His purchase price is ten yuan per catty of fish." , my supply of goods is stable, and I can increase the purchase price, I think Director Du will agree." He thought carefully about the bustling scenes of people coming and going in Director Du's restaurant, and Director Du's anxious expression urging the fish seller to deliver the goods quickly, and felt that his plan was correct.

Hou Haiyang was born in a farming family with a scholarly tradition. The scholarly tradition can improve his eyesight and thinking ability. The experience of living in a farm family brought him closer to the market economy earlier than the children in the city, so that he would not be too ambitious or fall into fantasy. In the morning, Hou Haiyang was in class. Through the window sill, he saw seven or eight people walking in from the school gate. The leader was Liu Qingyong, the deputy secretary of the town committee, followed by the director of the teaching office, Lao Zhang, the principal, Dai Youming, and the deputy in charge of the primary school. Principal Wang Qin, Liu Youshu and others were holding some stationery and other gifts in their hands.Hou Haiyang was always in awe of the three-foot podium. He watched these so-called leaders walk into the school gate, ignored them, and continued to give lectures.Although the students in the village primary school are mischievous and have poor foundation, standing on the podium, he is the teacher and has the responsibility to teach well.

Lao Zhang, the director of the teaching office, walked into the classroom, nodded to Hou Haiyang, and then said loudly: "Students, the Spring Festival is approaching, and the town party committee and government are very concerned about the students. Today, Secretary Liu came to visit you and give you stationery coming." Then, Wang Qin, Liu Youshu and others moved in stationery such as basketballs and table tennis balls in their hands.Wang Qin saw Hou Haiyang put the book on the podium with a sullen face, so he took the initiative to greet him: "Students, come and get the stationery." The students rushed to the front row to get the stationery. After receiving the stationery, the director of the teaching office, Lao Zhang, said, "Students, now let Secretary Liu of the Township Party Committee speak." The students didn't have any idea about Secretary Liu of the town party committee, but they just stayed in their seats obediently when they saw so many adults at once. Deputy Secretary Liu Qingyong looked exactly like Liu Qingde. Liu Qingde was tall and tall, with five big and three rough. Although he worked in the school, his temperament was more like a hero.Liu Qingyong's skin is relatively fair, and he has the steady characteristics of a grassroots cadre. Liu Qingyong said to Lao Zhang, the director of the education office: "I won't talk about it, let Director Liu speak a few words on behalf of the party committee and the government." After the battle of the flood, Liu Youshu became famous in Bashan County. Not only did he solve the establishment, he was also promoted to the deputy director of the Party and Government Office of Xinxiang Township in Bashan County, and he was brought into the attention of the organization department.Hearing Secretary Liu's words, he hurriedly waved his hand, and was being polite, Liu Qingyong said: "Director Liu, the young man just needs to talk often and train himself more, otherwise how can he shoulder the heavy burden, don't be too polite, just tell me." Only then did Liu Youshu step forward, cleared his throat, and said, "Students, the Spring Festival is coming, the party committee and the government are very concerned about your studies, so they divided into several groups and went to each school to express condolences to the students and brought some gifts to the students. "He was not ready, he didn't know what to say for a while, coughed twice, and said: "At school, you must study hard and serve the motherland. When you come home during the Spring Festival, you must help the family with things and reduce the burden on the family." After Liu Youshu finished speaking, Lao Zhang, the director of the teaching office, and others took the lead in applauding, and the students also gave sparse applause.When Lao Zhang and Liu Youshu were speaking, Hou Haiyang walked to the window with a long face and turned his back to these cadres, big and small. After Liu Youshu finished speaking and these people left the classroom, Hou Haiyang turned around and walked back to the podium.He didn't dislike the leaders of the town who came to visit the students, but he disliked these people who broke into the classroom and started talking without saying hello to the teacher, treating the teacher as nothing, which seriously disrupted the teaching order. Gritting his teeth and sulking for a while, he started to give a lecture, and after a few words, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Hou Haiyang's last class was physical education. He approached Bald Ma and said, "I'm going to the town for the next class. You can help me with a class." Ever since Hou Haiyang suppressed Ma Manzi, his image suddenly became taller in Ma Baldou's eyes.Ma Guangtou threw aside his veteran airs and said enthusiastically: "You go, leave me something." Hou Haiyang walked out of the school gate with a gloomy face. As he walked on the road, he conducted a self-analysis. Today, apart from hating officials who went straight into the classroom without saying hello to the teacher, he was secretly jealous of Liu Youshu.At the beginning, he and Liu Youshu ran for secondment at the same time, but Liu Youshu won. Now he has been relegated to Niubeituo Village Primary School to teach, and Liu Youshu has become a rising star in the Xinxiang government.A seemingly ordinary competition actually created two different lives. "Living people don't die from urine, so why can't I be successful?" Hou Haiyang walked on the road, gritted his teeth, and held his breath in his chest. Since it was not a rush day, the town looked deserted, so Hou Haiyang walked to the shop he often called.Before he could open his mouth, the shopkeeper smiled all over his face and said, "Mr. Hou, what do you want to buy?" Hou Haiyang said, "I'll make a phone call." Seeing that there was no one around, the shopkeeper moved closer to Hou Haiyang and said, "Teacher Hou, what do you want?" You have to be careful, Liu Laoqi has been talking about it recently, saying that he wants to deal with you, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, you have to be careful." Hou Haiyang dialed the phone number and said casually, "Come and try it out if you have something, I'm just worried that I can't find a place to share it." A long dial sound of "beep, beep" came from the receiver, and the shopkeeper wanted to come over Speaking, Hou Haiyang put the microphone next to his ear and turned his face away.The shopkeeper understood what Hou Haiyang meant, and walked away awkwardly. "Director Du, I'm Xiaohou, Hou Haiyang." Director Du sighed on the phone, and said: "I said Xiaohou, why don't you say anything when you encounter these things. For the big ass thing, I called Lao Zhu and put it away, and even stabbed it to the party committee , The boiled duck pissed in the air, I have never done such a nesting thing.” One complaint made Hou Haiyang feel ashamed.Taking advantage of Director Du taking a break, he said, "Director Du, I called today for another matter." Director Du's tone was colder than before, and he said, "What's the matter? Recently, all the seconded personnel have arrived at their posts, and the secondment will have to wait for a while." "It's not about the secondment. I've been kicked to Niubeituo Primary School now, but the bad thing has turned into a good thing. There is a small river next to Niubeituo Primary School, which also produces a lot of pointed fish. I want to help Director Du Collect the fish." The fish restaurant opened by Director Du features pointed fish, and the business is booming. The most troublesome thing is that pointed fish is relatively scarce and cannot be raised artificially, so the supply of goods is in short supply.Once Director Gao Zhiyong wanted to eat sharp-headed fish, so he brought the members of the bureau team to the restaurant. It happened that the restaurant was out of stock of sharp-headed fish that day, which made Director Du very embarrassed. "How many catties can you collect in a week? How much do I charge here?" Hou Haiyang said: "Niubeituo Primary School is by the river. I can usually catch a few, and I can collect some along the river. It is estimated that I can receive more than ten per week." The best pointed fish is about two or three catties, and ten fish should be twenty or thirty catties.Director Du was moved immediately, and said: "Young Hou is not bad, I will still take what you said just now, I will take as much as you have." Hou Haiyang said tactfully: "The price of the restaurant is ten yuan per catty, I will go to the river to collect fish, I have to give ten yuan to someone else." Director Du understood what he meant, and said, "You help me harvest the fish in Xinxiang, and I will give you three yuan per catty of fish." "Mr. Du, our teachers' wages are very low, and we won't be able to pay them for a long time. I want to transport the fish, and I have to buy some airtight barrels after including the shipping costs. The commission of three yuan is a bit low." "Okay, every catty of fish will increase by one yuan, and if there is more, I will have no profit." Hou Haiyang was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, four yuan is four yuan." Director Du laughed and said on the phone: "Next year, when the limelight of watching pornographic videos passes, I will ask the director for secondment. There is a shortage of writers around me. When I encounter big articles, I have to write the pen. Really. I hope Xiaohou can hurry over and support me." After paying the phone bill, Hou Haiyang subconsciously touched the money in his pocket.Although there is no money yet, the day when there is money is coming soon.He first went to the grocery store to buy a large bucket with a lid, then walked to the bean curd restaurant without hesitation, and generously ordered a bean curd, a bowl of braised fat sausage, and another roasted white, and the few A bowl of delicious food is swallowed into the stomach. When leaving the town, Xinxiang School's get out of class bell rang.Hou Haiyang didn't want to meet people from Xinxiang School, so he quickened his pace and quickly left Xinxiang School behind.After walking far, looking back, Xinxiang School has been covered by more and more weeds and trees. On Saturday afternoon, the village primary school dismissed early. Hou Haiyang went to the cave and caught nearly 15 pointed fish, 12 fish were put into the bucket, and 3 were thrown into the water tank.The sharp-headed fish grow in the underground river, where the water is cold. The pointed-headed fish are all slender and full of wildness. They swim quickly in the buckets and tanks, making the sound of rushing water. Just as he was about to leave, Baldy Ma came over. He looked a little shy, stroked his bald head, and said, "Teacher Hou, there is something I am embarrassed to say." Hou Haiyang said: "Teacher Ma, please tell me if you have anything to say." "You know, I'm still a private teacher, and I haven't become a full-time teacher. This year, I'm on the verge of becoming a full-time employee again." Ma Guangtou sighed, "We've been on the podium for so many years, and our salary is pitifully low. Otherwise, I won’t be able to pay for my child’s tuition. I want to find the acting principal, but I don’t have anything to offer. Can you lend me two pointed fish. When I catch a pointed fish someday, I'll give it back to you." Hou Haiyang's father is a private teacher. He deeply understands the ups and downs of private teachers, and said happily: "Mr. Ma, you can get it yourself, why be polite to me." The pointed fish caught a few days ago has already entered the stomach Fortunately, he just caught fish from the cave, so he wouldn't feel embarrassed. He saw that Baldy Ma still had a few sheets of paper in his hand, and he borrowed them. It turned out to be a handwritten "Opinions of the State Education Commission, the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Finance on Several Issues Concerning Further Improving and Strengthening the Work of Private Teachers." .He quickly picked up the pen and paper and copied a copy for his father. The wooden barrel with a cover and air holes weighed about fifty kilograms. Hou Haiyang lifted the wooden barrel to the station, panting from exhaustion. Zhao Liangyong and other teachers were also in the car, and he asked in amazement: "Why are you carrying a wooden bucket?" Hou Haiyang didn't want to reveal his secret, and said: "Get some fish in the river and send it to your friends." The two sat together in the car, and Zhao Liangyong's topic always revolved around Xinxiang School.After Hou Haiyang was expelled from Xinxiang School, the last thing he wanted to hear was about Xinxiang School. He responded perfunctorily, looking at the winter water fields outside the window and the egrets that appeared there. Egrets are migratory birds flying from the north for the winter. They have long legs and enjoy the warmth of the southern country in the paddy fields.Hou Haiyang is not a migratory bird, and he has not felt the real cold wind in the north, so he naturally cannot feel the warmth of the south. When we arrived at the county station, it was already dark, and the station was full of travelers going home or leaving home. They scattered in a hurry, and there was a special sense of parting in the air. After Hou Haiyang broke up with Zhao Liangyong, he called a rickshaw. "How much is the domineering Yuzhuang that eats pointed fish?" "Five dollars." "Three dollars." "You've got the bucket, it's heavy, four dollars." After negotiating a good price, the tricycle master pedaled hard.When going uphill, he can only ride uphill by standing on the pedals. Even though it is winter, the sweat penetrates through several layers of clothes and wets his coat.Hou Haiyang secretly said: "The tricycle can give you change, but it's too tiring. Those who can't bear hardships can't be the master of the tricycle." When they arrived at the destination, the master wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "You have fish in this bucket, right? It’s too heavy, can you add one yuan?” According to common sense, if you negotiate a good price first, you cannot add more money. Hou Haiyang saw that the rickshaw driver was really hard, so he didn't care about it. He generously gave him five yuan and entered the restaurant with a big bucket in both hands. "What are you doing?" As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by a woman at the bar. The big bucket was heavy, and Hou Haiyang started to sweat when he walked up the stairs with the bucket.He wiped his sweat with the back of his hand, and said, "I contacted Director Du and sent the pointed fish." The woman stuck her head out of the counter with a critical look, looked at the bucket, and said in a loud voice, "Old Fu, come and see the fish." Old Fu is a bald man with a round face. He stuck his head out of the kitchen window and said fiercely, "Bring the bucket over here, and someone will weigh it for you at the bar." The kitchen was slippery and smelled of fish.Hou Haiyang lifted the lid of the bucket and introduced, "I came from Xinxiang, and after a week of collection, I only got a dozen or so." The old Fu pointed to an empty fish grid with his bloody big finger, lit a cigarette, and said, "We haven't collected fish from Xinxiang before, pour them into the grid, let me check the quality first." Twelve sharp-headed fish were poured into the fish grid. These fish were bored in the bucket, and they had long been impatient. When they entered the water, they immediately rushed back and forth, causing a lot of splashes. The old Fu has been a chef for many years, and he has a good eye. He stared at the sharp-headed fish without turning his eyes, and praised: "It's not easy to hunt sharp-headed fish in winter. How can you get so many? And the size is generally neat, which is amazing." Hou Haiyang smiled and said, "Then help me check the scale." Old Fu arranged for his men to pass the fish over the scale, and with a cigarette in his mouth, he wrote a note: Received twenty-seven catties of pointed-headed fish, Fu.Hou Haiyang took the note and said, "Where can I get the money?" The old man said, "Let's deliver the goods when you come back first. You take the note to the counter to stamp it, and settle the bill once a month." Hou Haiyang said He made up his mind to trade with cash, and said: "I collect fish along the river, and I always give cash. If I can't get the money, I won't be able to collect fish next week." The old man waved his hand and said: "I don't care about this, the rules are set by the boss, I just collect the fish and bill." After speaking, he turned his back and talked to another chef, ignoring Tiehou Haiyang. Hou Haiyang had no choice but to take the note to the counter. After waiting for Hou Haiyang to go out, the old Fu immediately called the other two chefs over and said, "Come quickly and have a look, these ten pointed-headed fish are really fucking overbearing, and the back of the fish is light blue, which means that the water quality in the river is good." If the water quality is poor, it will turn yellow." Another chef grabbed a fish, observed it, and said: "There is no injury on the mouth of the fish, it seems that it was caught with a net. It is a bit evil to use a net in this winter." Hou Haiyang got into an argument with the middle-aged woman at the bar. "The quality of the fish is absolutely good. I borrowed money to collect the fish, can I pay in cash?" The woman said: "I don't care about that, it's the same rules for all those who send fish. There are still a few days until the end of the month, so what do you have to wait for a few days." Hou Haiyang said patiently, "I took a long-distance bus from Xinxiang for several hours, it was not easy." The woman rolled her eyes and said, "It's not easy for you, it's not easy for me. I can tell you clearly. It's clear that you will need a penny to settle the money at the end of the month. Why are you so stingy when you grow up so big?" "In the morning, I made an agreement with Director Du. If you don't believe me, you can call Director Du." The woman was indifferent, and said: "Why do you call for this kind of thing. You are a person who delivers the goods as soon as they are delivered. There are so many scruples. If you don't want to deliver, just crawl away." Hou Haiyang has always had a sullen feeling in his chest, and he can't bear the stimulation the most. Hearing the word "crawl away", he said angrily: "If you don't take the cash, I won't give it away. I don't believe that there is no one else besides your family." Yes." He went straight to the kitchen with the bucket in hand, returned the note to the old man, and said, "I won't sell fish anymore, here's the note." The more old Fu looked at these fish, the more he liked them, and persuaded: "Young man, don't be so angry, do you know which hotel this is?" Hou Haiyang put the fish into the bucket, and said: "I called Director Du in the morning, and it was agreed, the woman at the counter is so unreasonable, and she speaks so badly, as if I was a beggar, And told me to crawl away." The woman at the counter is Director Du's younger aunt, who has a weird temper, and everyone in the restaurant knows it.Old Fu shook his head helplessly, and said, "Don't collect them all, leave two for me." "No, I won't sell any of them." The old Fu really fell in love with these ten or so sharp-headed fish, and persuaded: "Little brother, don't rush like this, my old Fu didn't offend you, I will buy two with my own money." Hou Haiyang remembered that Director Du had helped him, so he calmed down slowly, and said, "Well, master is a real person, I'll leave two for you, as a gift, no money." Old Fu held up his thumb and said, "You bastard is upright." "These sharp-headed fish have never been polluted by dirty water." Hou Haiyang frowned and said, "It's shit, let's not talk about it. I will send the fish to Maodong tomorrow, and the living will not be suffocated to death by urine. " Old Fu found a piece of paper, wrote a phone number on it, and said, "Mountains don't turn around, you are upright. If you are angry with me, I will write you a number. Maybe we will have to deal with each other in the future." At first, he thought that he could exchange the sharp-headed fish into money immediately, but he did not expect to meet an unreasonable shrew. Hou Haiyang was extremely depressed. He walked several hundred meters with a bucket, hungry and tired, and sat down on the street. He touched a cigarette and smoked slowly. "Jiang Gang and Director Du are still very kind to me. Find a place to stay later, and then call Jiang Gang and ask him to explain today's affairs to Director Du." He only has Jiang Gang's pager number, but not Du Director's call number. Thinking of the bad language of the woman on the counter, Hou Haiyang was both angry and angry. He stared at the barrel and said to himself, "The living will not be suffocated to death by urine. I will go to Maodong tomorrow, and the price will be much higher." After smoking two cigarettes, when he was about to find a hotel, the pager on Hou Haiyang's waist made a "BB" sound. He dragged the barrel and looked for a public phone. "Xiao Hou, since it was delivered, why did you take it away again? You are not short-tempered. I'm in the restaurant, and I'll bring it here." Old Du's cheerful voice came from the phone. "The woman at the counter told me to get off." "Good men don't fight with women. Men should be more open-minded. I told them to pay cash." After saying this, Hou Haiyang felt that his heart was small. Yuzhuang.Old Du was standing outside the counter, talking to the woman inside the counter.Seeing Hou Haiyang going upstairs, he said, "Xiaohou, what happened today is my brother's fault. I forgot to tell the counter about it. From now on, when you collect the fish, you can directly ask Sister Li for the money." The woman on the counter turned her face quickly, and said: "Mr. Xiaohou, you are the same person. Make it clear that it was introduced by your brother-in-law. If you don't, it will be settled. This is 378 yuan." Hou Haiyang said: "Not so many, I gave those two fish as gifts." Director Du said: "Don't give it away. We do business according to the rules of business. You also paid for the fish, and you have to pay for the car, and you have to buy tools. These are all costs." Hou Haiyang silently put away the money.His monthly salary has not exceeded 100 yuan, and now he sells fish for nearly 400 yuan. He is calm on the surface, but his heart has been burned by the money. Several customers in suits came out of the private room. Sister Li quickly walked out of the counter and greeted: "Zhao Ju, we received a batch of good-quality pointed fish today, come and taste it tomorrow." The tall Zhao Ju stopped , greeted Lao Du, and deliberately teased Sister Li: "So you say, the sharp-headed fish tonight is bad?" Director Du rounded up the words: "Ba Dao Yuzhuang does not have bad pointed fish, only top and ordinary pointed fish. After serving you, you will receive the pointed fish sent from Xincheng. I will save it for you. Two, come and try them tomorrow." Zhao Ju's face was slightly red, he was slightly drunk, his mouth smelled of alcohol, and said: "There is no pollution in Xinxiang, and the pointed fish must be good. Leave me a few more tomorrow, I have guests." "Yes, tomorrow I will reserve the private room and fish for Bureau Zhao." Sister Li smiled charmingly, standing at the door and waving to the guests. It was only then that Hou Haiyang understood that Sister Li had two faces, and she treated God with warmth like spring, but she was very picky about delivery people who were looking for hotels.At this time, he had confidence in his fish, and secretly said: "Director Du's attitude is so good, it seems that it is because of the quality of my fish, friendship is second. If you are stronger than yourself, you will never be respected if you are not strong." "I didn't expect the quality of the sharp-headed fish in Xinxiang to be good. Why didn't anyone deliver it from Xinxiang before?" Du Qiang was more amiable than in the office of the Public Security Bureau. Hou Haiyang understood the importance of keeping secrets, and said vaguely: "The production of pointed fish is small, and naturally there are few people who buy it." Du Qiang said righteously: "As many pointed fishes as you have, I'll take as much as you want, pay when you see the goods, - it won't be long." After Du Qiang said this, Hou Haiyang's resentment disappeared. Seeing the back of Hou Haiyang leaving, Sister Li curled her lips and said, "Brother-in-law, your heart is too kind, and you are too polite to this young ass kid." "You have to watch your mouth, you almost drove away a God of Wealth just now. I asked old Fu, the quality of the pointed fish that Hou Haiyang sent is very good, and the price is also right, as long as he can deliver the goods on time, Do the math yourself, how much money you can make for us." The exterior of Domineering Fish Village is not very good, and the interior is not luxurious. The main feature is wild pointed fish. The price of each catty of pointed fish is 60 yuan per catty. Earn about forty yuan.People who can enter Ba Dao Yuzhuang are either rich or expensive. Some of the rich come for the director of the Public Security Bureau, and the rich are all because of the authentic and delicious fish.Lao Du enjoys making money, deeply understands the samadhi, and attaches great importance to the fish sent by Hou Haiyang. Sister Li also understood this truth, blushed a little, and said, "I think he's handsome, he doesn't look like a businessman, and he doesn't pay much attention to what he says." Du Qiang asserted: "Hou Haiyang helped to collect the fish. He would definitely not pay ten yuan a catty. Let us assume that he collected it from the countryside for five or six yuan a catty. After deducting the cost of collecting fish, ten fish He earns tens of dollars, and we earn hundreds of dollars. If you want to make money, you have to treat these hardworking people better. Moreover, Hou Haiyang is a serious middle school teacher and student. He can write good calligraphy and play basketball. He also played well. Don’t underestimate him when he went to sea at the age of eighteen.” Hou Haiyang temporarily stored the barrel in Ba Dao Yuzhuang, and walked for a while to Chengguan Town Police Station.The Chengguan Town Police Station was deserted, and a man in a yellow police uniform without epaulets sat behind a mottled desk in a daze. "Comrade, is Fu Hongbing here? I'm his classmate." The middle-aged man pouted inward, and said, "The innermost room." Walking to the door, there was a burst of cursing from the room: "I already knew what you did...you are playing stupid for me." Hou Haiyang was too familiar with Fu Hongbing's voice, so he cursed like this, which showed that he was already out of breath.Pushing open the door and entering, I saw Fu Hongbing in plain clothes standing in the middle of the room with his hips crossed. A long-haired man in flat shoes and crotch pants was handcuffed by the window sill. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, crotch pants were all the rage.The so-called hanging crotch pants are actually military pants and police pants. Young people are generally thinner and taller than the older generation. When they wear the old generation military pants, the buttocks look empty, commonly known as hanging crotch pants.At first, the children of the army and public security often wore crotch pants. Later, young people in society put on crotch pants one after another, which became a scene on the street. Flat cloth shoes, crotch pants and long hair are the three major symbols of youth in society at that time. It was the first time for Hou Haiyang to come to the office of the police station in this way. He greeted Fu Hongbing and stood aside curiously. It was the first time for Fu Hongbing to work independently, and the thief in front of him was so reckless that he lost face.After Hou Haiyang entered, he asked a few more questions patiently, but the long-haired man still squinted his eyes and refused to tell the truth. "You are not honest, do you want to suffer a little bit?" Fu Hongbing raised his hand and slapped seven or eight times on the face, and then raised the handcuffs. In essence, he half-hanged the long-haired man with handcuffs.Men with long hair have to work hard on their feet to relieve the pressure of their body weight on their arms. Fu Hongbing shook his head and said, "Let him relax for a while, let's go out." The two went out and stood at the door chatting. A few slaps did not make the long-haired man subdue, but not long after hanging on the window sill, crying came from the room.Hou Haiyang followed Fu Hongbing into the room. The long-haired man had a runny nose and cried, "Let me down, I'll tell you everything." Fu Hongbing stepped forward and slapped him twice, saying: "You are a toast, not a fine wine." The long-haired man was hanging in the air with snot, dangling around and sticking to his face. He begged, "I was wrong, I'm ignorant, let me down, I'll explain." A middle-aged man in a police uniform walked into the office. He looked at the long-haired man's wrist and said, "Put it down to make a statement." Then he turned and left. Only then did Fu Hongbing put the long-haired man down cursingly, and began to record his statement.This time, the long-haired man was a pea rolling a bamboo tube and told all the things he had committed.After Fu Hongbing made the notes, he took the long-haired man to the black room, and went to the director with the notes. The director is the middle-aged man in the thick suit. After reading the transcript, he said: "You played hard today, if you hang on for a while, your hand will be useless." Fu Hongbing didn't realize that the situation would be so serious, and said, "I thought this person was a softie, and he cried after hanging for a while, so he didn't care." "People made of special materials are rare after all. Next time, don't act recklessly and know how to protect yourself. It's really not worthwhile to involve yourself in the case." The director glanced at Fu Hongbing and said, "The case was handled well. Go home and rest." Fu Hongbing breathed a sigh of relief after being praised by the leader.When he got downstairs, he happily said: "Why are you here now, let's go, what do you want to eat?" Hou Haiyang came all the way from Xinxiang. He hadn't eaten yet, and his stomach was growling with hunger. He said, "Fat sausage hot pot fish, my mouth is watering just thinking about it." Fu Hongbing said: "Don't eat fatty sausage hot pot fish, now it's popular to eat food stalls, let's go there." Hou Haiyang saw Fu Hongbing beating people the first time he went to the police station, which he never expected: " Axe, you all handle cases like this? This is extorting confessions by torture, which is illegal." Fu Hongbing said: "The man just now is a habit of stealing, he is very hateful, and has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. This is called not using thunderbolt methods, not showing the heart of a bodhisattva." He said in an excited tone: "My police uniform will be issued soon. In July this year, Maodong will implement the police rank system, and then we will be in line with international standards." Hou Haiyang heard from Fu Hongbing's words. With a deep sense of professional pride, he felt even more lost in his heart. The food stall is in the triangle area in front of the county natural gas company. When Hou Haiyang joined the county basketball team, he ate here a few times and felt pretty good.The two of them did not take a tricycle or a taxi, but walked for about ten minutes to the food stall. After hearing what happened recently, Fu Hongbing was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He said, "Boss, it's really a leaky house and it rains overnight. You have encountered all kinds of unlucky things. What should we do next?" "There is no way for now. I have two considerations. One is to go to university. I am learning English from an English teacher at the school. In addition, I am good at Chinese, politics, history, and geography. I am only weaker in mathematics. Hope. The second is to learn how to do business, all roads lead to Rome, I want to dig my first pot of gold from the acquisition of pointed fish." Fu Hongbing felt that these two paths were unimaginable, and said: "Boss, these two paths are not realistic, we still have to think of other ways. The manpower of the Public Security Bureau has been tight. If you did not succeed in secondment this time, you can still consider it." Next time. In addition, Liu Qingde's brother is the deputy secretary of the party committee, and his family is all powerful, and you will fight against him like an egg against a rock." “现在鸡蛋和石头已经撞上了，迟早要打上一架。大不了辞职，没有什么了不起，活人不会被尿愁死。” 两人聊着天，到了天然气公司前面的大排档。 巴山大排档很奇怪，在寒风和酷暑这两种极端天气时，大排档反而更热闹。付红兵双手抄在裤子口袋上，背微驼，带着侯海洋来到“钟家绝味大排档”。钟家妹子迎上来，道：“付公安，进来，我这边还有位置。”钟家小妹是巴山少有的高妹，足有一米七，腰身细，对着付红兵甜甜地笑。 付红兵迟疑一下，跟着钟家小妹走进了用屏风围起的简易大排档。他刚走到门口，又突然停了下来。 侯海洋跟在付红兵身后，轻轻推了一下，道：“别像个门神挡在这里，进去啊。” 付红兵转过身，道：“我们换一家。”小钟美女站在身旁，扯着付红兵的胳膊，道：“付公安，请了你几次，都不来。来了就不准走，是不是瞧不起我们的小门小店？” 侯海洋的目光越过付红兵，与里面的一个女人对视。 吕明一直不愿意直面侯海洋，她希望面对面的那一天永远不会来。可是，县城只是屁股大的地方，要想永不见面太难，这一点她很清楚。不过以这种方式见面，还是让她心如刀绞。 她的眼光与侯海洋眼光接触以后，匆忙躲开，低下头。 侯海洋的目光从吕明身上移向其身边人。吕明这一桌有六个人，三男三女，从气质、相貌、穿着来看，这些人应该是县城里的机关干部。机关干部与学校老师从理论上没有区别，实际上这两类人还是很容易区别出来。吕明身边坐着一位三十岁左右的男子，两人并排而坐，凳子之间相互接触，男子一只手放在吕明凳子的扶手上。 初到新乡的日子里，思念吕明是侯海洋日常重要的感情生活，也是他度过单调生活的重要法宝。此时，这个法宝变成了蝴蝶，翩翩然飞到另外的山头。 侯海洋身体僵硬了片刻，对付红兵道：“斧头，走吧，换个地方。”两人离开了小钟美女，走了十来米，付红兵又转了过去，招手将小钟喊过来，问：“正对着门那一桌，对，就是六个人的那一桌，你认识吗？”小钟笑道：“怎么，遇到了老情人？” 付红兵道：“别开玩笑，我是认真的。那个女的是不是经常和旁边男的一起？”小钟嫣然笑道：“那一桌是财政局的，经常在这里吃饭。女的好像姓吕，与朱科长在耍朋友。” 付红兵又问了些细节，这才返回。 “我问清楚了，吕明是和财政局一位姓朱的科长在谈恋爱。”付红兵拍了拍侯海洋的肩膀，道，“兄弟，男子汉大丈夫，何患无妻。”侯海洋满嘴苦涩，满脸苦痛，他佯装洒脱，道：“人往高处走，水往低处流，我不怪吕明，只怪自己没有本事。我不相信凭着我们的智商，当真就比不过那些没有什么文化的招聘干部。” 付红兵道：“蛮子，我最信任你，是金子总要闪光。咱们和那个财政局姓朱的干部是骑驴看唱本，走着瞧，吕明总有一天会为自已的选择后悔。” 想着吕明和姓朱的坐在一起的画面，侯海洋黯然神伤。他既担心吕明上当受骗，又伤心她的断然绝情。 复杂的感情交织在一起，五味杂陈。 当夜，吕明找到了县城里的陆红，她抱着陆红痛哭一场。
