When Xiong Xiaomei received the phone call from her boyfriend, her mood was not high, saying: "Last time the mobilization was frozen, I have a psychological shadow, now I am afraid to hear these news, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."If it can suddenly be said that the mobilization is done, it is best.”

Hou Canghai was most afraid of the girlfriend on the phone depressed, quickly comforted: "The road is tortuous, but in the end the victory must belong to us."

Xiong Xiaomei knew that her boyfriend wanted to make herself happy, but she was depressed and really unhappy.She flipped over the calendar and said, “On National Day, how many times are you on duty, can you come here?”

Hou Canghai said, "I was on duty on October 1st, I could have come here, but No. 2 No. 3 is going to visit several old petitioners, this is very important, no one dares to take a vacation."

"Then you'll live with the petitioners for the rest of your life." Bear Xiaomei said this indignantly, and then hung up the phone.After hanging up, the phone kept ringing.She was so upset that she just dropped the hand.

After half a day of boredom in the bedroom, Xiaomei felt that her stomach was not comfortable, and found that the official holiday came after going to the bathroom.Every time before the holiday, Xiong Xiaomei always had a period of particularly depressed, uncomfortable, and easily angry because of a little thing.However, she often did not realize that it was a holiday.Only after the official holiday comes will the real reason for the anger before be reflected.

Sitting in the room, turning on the recorder and wearing headphones to listen to my favorite Liu Ruoying's "Later":

...

Later

I finally learned.

How to love.

I am sorry for you.

Long far away.

Disappeared in the sea.

I finally understood in tears.

Some

Once you are missed no more.

...

After listening to the song for a while, she calmed down and called Hou Canghai again.

"National Day, I really can't do it, you can go to Jiangzhou."When he received the phone call, he could not wait.

At this time, Xiong Xiaomei calmed down and said, "Okay, I'll come here on National Day."

The two talked for a few minutes, and hung up in order to save the phone bill.

As he continued to listen to the song, the door was pushed open by his mother.Yang Zhongfang said, "Sasha sister is coming, you come out."

Sasha sister was an old neighbor and had learned from the South early.Every time I come back in the past two years, I have given gifts to my neighbors and friends, which is very popular with everyone.Although there is some discussion behind what he does in the south, he is also envious of the money he brings to his family.

Xiong Xiaomei followed her mother behind her back to the living room, and saw Sasha sister sitting with another black middle-aged man, with a red box on the living room coffee table.Sasha sister greeted me with pleasure: "Little sister Mei."Bear Xiaomei promised, while looking at the middle-aged people next to her salsa sister, hello: "Sasha sister, when did you come back?"Oh, you're fat, and your chin has meat."

Sasha looked at the middle-aged man and said, “He blames him.”My husband, we all call him an egg.”

After the middle-aged egg boy and the bear Xiaomei said hello, "the wife gave birth to a child to gain weight is temporary, after the breastfeeding period, insist on exercise, the body can soon recover."This person speaks with an obvious Hong Kong-Taiwanese cavity, not a fascination of Hong Kong and Taiwan, but a Hong Kong-Taiwanese language that wants to speak Mandarin well.

Xiong Xiaomei said, “Sasha sister, have all had children, is it a son or a daughter?”

Sasha sister proudly said: "Have a son, eight pounds."We have a birthday party on October 2nd, and Miss Mei must attend.We are all old neighbors, birthday party do not give gifts, I just want to invite everyone lively."

In this case, the bear iron army generally does not talk, sitting on the sofa as a guest, by Yang Zhongfang and Xiong Xiaomei accompanied Shasha sister and middle-aged egg boy chat.After talking for ten minutes, Sasha and the egg left.

The red box contained a small bottle of wine, a pack of cigarettes and some exquisitely packaged sweets.The bear iron army took the smoke in his hand and looked over and over, that is, he could not bear to open it.Yang Zhongfang chewed a piece of chocolate and said, "This sugar has not eaten, and a few mouthfuls are over."Xiong Xiaomei smiled, "This is chocolate, put it in the mouth and slowly melt, don't chew with your teeth."

Yang Zhongfang said, “Eating a piece of sugar is so troublesome and uneasy.”How old is that man, do you say?How do I feel older than your father?”

Bear Xiaomei thought back to the appearance of middle-aged eggs and said, "Southern people are thin, black, and look old, and it is estimated that they are in their 40s."It should be smaller than Uncle Li.”

Uncle Li is the father of Sasha sister, and the relationship between Weng Yi, who should have an age gap, is closer to the brotherly relationship with almost no age gap, which makes Xiong Xiaomei can't help but think of Chen Hua.Chen Hua and Sasha sister encountered different things, but the essence is the same, they are trying to change their survival through marriage.

Xiong Xiaomei said, "I want to go to Jiangzhou on National Day, can I not eat this birthday party?"

Yang Zhongfang said: "Sasha sister is when we look at the growth, the wedding wine did not do, now hold a baby's birthday party, you still have to attend."Over the years, every time she came back from Guangdong, she had to bring things to her family, the last time she brought Tutianma, and this time she brought me clothes.Sasha is very understanding, know the honor of her parents.If there was a shasha sister in the old Kang family, Lao Kang would not jump."

This makes the bear very bad.She finally told me the question she had been in her heart, and said, "I heard that Sasha sister did not marry the man, it was the third child."

Xiong Hengyuan finally smoked the cigarette, lit it, and spat out a cigarette ring, saying, "Whether I am a junior or not, as long as I have money, I can live."

This sentence made Xiaomei feel nothing, gave Dad a white eye, and turned back to the bedroom.

Yang Zhongfang reproached: "You dead old man, don't talk, don't say, and fire cannons every time."

The bear looked at him and said, “Was I wrong?”How Lao Kang died, not poor, no money to see a doctor, painkillers can not afford.Laughing poor and not laughing, all of this is forced."

Bear Xiaomei heard the conversation between her parents in the bedroom and could not help but feel deep sadness.In the past, living around was a group of energetic workers of state-owned enterprises, wearing factory uniforms, holding their chests, and exuding the pride of the country's ownership.Now their pride is no longer, when the third of this kind of previously hated and critical things are now recognized.

On October 2, the old neighbors of the whole building attended the birthday party of Sasha's son.The banquet venue is in the Qinyang Grand Hotel, and the airy hall shows the owner's house's wallet.Old neighbors turned out the best clothes in the house, the men shaved their beards, and the women wore makeup, trying to match the environment of the hotel.They were all once disciplined and self-respecting state-owned workers, and the quality was very good.They were polite in the grand hotel, talking softly, and without the decadence and vulgarity of the old building.

Wine is a high-end Shannan song, vegetables have seafood and other good dishes, everyone eats five flavors.

After dinner, several middle-aged aunts went to visit Sasha's new house.At the invitation of Sasha sister, Xiong Xiaomei also came to the best community in Qinyang.

Sasha's new home is the first floor of the townhouse, the front backyard is its own garden, and more than 100 square meters of basement.Everyone changed their shoes when they entered the house and carefully stepped on the solid wood floor.Xiong Xiaomei is a teacher in Qin Yang II, who has seen the world and is also shocked by the luxurious villa of Sasha sister.

In addition to Sasha sister and middle-of-the-line, there was a man named Xu Junchun, who greeted everyone politely and spoke a bad Mandarin, making everyone laugh.

The middle-aged people talk about the Hong Kong and Taiwan dialects to introduce the house to a group of middle-aged women.

Aunt Jiang is a big voice, has always been known for being straight-hearted, and said, “Your villa is so big, you spend a lot of money?”

Middle-aged humanity: "Plus the decoration, it's a million or more."

Aunt Jiang took a cold breath, "Ah, to more than a million, too expensive, we can't afford to sell all our blood."

There is a kind of confidence in the smile of middle-aged egg, "more than a million, very cheap."

For the Qin Yang people, Hong Kong is a strange and distant existence, and everyone knows Hong Kong through movies.At this time, I heard that the middle-aged egg boy in front of him was from Hong Kong, and he was suddenly admired.

Visiting Sasha’s mansion is a torture for Bear.Although she was somewhat disapproving of the fact that Sasha's sister was a junior, the real mansion dissolves all the criticisms in an unstoppable manner.

Aunt Jiang issued a "snap" sound all the way, and did not hide her admiration for the mansion.At the end of the visit, when she returned to the living room, Aunt Jiang said, "Little Mei, you are not as good as Sasha sister now, take some money at school, and when you can afford this kind of house."I heard that your boyfriend is a rural cadre in Jiangzhou, how do rural cadres deserve our little Mei, quickly break up, and find a good condition."

Many years ago, Xiong Xiaomei went to college and sensationalized the whole building.At that time, Sasha sister graduated from junior high school and did not enter high school, so she went south to Guangdong.Xiong Xiaomei completely crushed the Sasha sister in word of mouth, everyone called on the children to learn from Xiong Xiaomei, the opposite textbook at that time is the performance of the slag sister.At this time, Feng Shui will rotate, but in a few years, the old neighbors who visited the mansion today mostly acquiesced to Aunt Jiang's statement.

This National Day is a kind of torture for Xiong Xiaomei, first of all, her boyfriend can not come to Qinyang, and then visited the ruined three-view mansion, coupled with the arrival of the holiday, several reasons make her feel quite depressed.

On the 5th of October, Hou Canghai came to Qinyang.After meeting his girlfriend at the station, he keenly found that his girlfriend was not in a good mood and laughed very reluctantly.

"I can't do it, every New Year's holiday, petitioners are moving, this is no way."He took his girlfriend’s arm and explained it carefully.

"Let's go outside, have lunch, and then we go home."After visiting the big house of Sasha sister on October 2, Xiong Xiaomei always felt that the old building had an unusual atmosphere, and everyone met and talked about it most.Disdain is also an enviance in some way.She didn’t want to go back to that building.

This is the matter of Hou Canghai, "Well, what do you want to eat, I recently issued a draft fee to the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, this is a provincial manuscript, the unit issued a full 600 yuan bonus, this is a foreign wealth, you can ask you to eat a big meal."

If there is no Sasha sister's big house as a comparison, the six hundred dollars bonus is a small fortune, with the contrast, this small fortune is eclipsed.Xiong Xiaomei said, "We now have to save money, six hundred yuan bonus, you pay me four hundred dollars, as our future venture fund to save, you leave two hundred dollars, as a reward for hard work."

Hou Canghai immediately took five hundred dollars and gave it to Xiaomei Xiong, and said, "I will leave a hundred as a reward, and I will eat this hundred dollars at noon today."

Xiong Xiaomei put his head on her boyfriend's shoulder and said, "We are still four thousand dollars and we will deposit 10,000, if you don't buy a mobile phone, we are close to breaking ten thousand."In these two months, you must complete at least five manuscripts, and if it is provincial."

Hou Canghai shouted bitterly: "This requirement is too high, the briefing requirements of provincial units are very high, our small Heihe town, where there is so much information worthy of provincial briefing."

Due to the decision not to go home to eat, both of them were very relaxed, after turning around in the street, found a small noodle restaurant, each eating two or two noodles.I ate noodles, watched another movie, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, I went home.Since the death of Lao Kang jumping from the building, Hou Canghai can live in the bear family, but the atmosphere of the bear family has always been not very friendly, as long as stepping into the bear family is like being careful, but it is not as happy as outside.

In order to love the bear, Hou Canghai is willing to endure such torture.

I walked into the bear’s house with some fruit.Xiong Hengyuan sat on the living room sofa watching TV and used stone moths to peach sea pepper noodles.The sea pepper noodles were fried in the pot in advance, there was no water in it, and the unique aroma of sea peppers was emitted in the stone moth.

He sneezed two times when he entered the house.

Yang Zhongfang took a newspaper and said, "Qinyang City Merchants Bureau to recruit cadres, you come to the test."

Qinyang City Merchants Bureau is a newly formed department-level unit, facing the province to recruit, which to recruit an office staff.Hou Canghai has fully met the requirements of office staff from academic qualifications to work experience.After reading it twice, he put down the newspaper and said, "Then I'll be ready to take the exam."

The exam is on October 15th, and the deadline for reporting is 10 days, and the time is very tight.In order to show his determination to take the exam, Hou Canghai immediately returned to Jiangzhou and stamped it to the unit.

The official seal of the unit was managed by Hou Canghai, which could have been directly stamped and reported to work.The sea was a little stagnating, and finally decided to report first and not hide it.

Yang Ding and after reading the newspaper with a recruitment plan, said: "People go high, the water flows low, I support you to take the exam."Go ahead, and keep coming back to work.”

"If you are admitted and do not know what is going on in the leadership there, it will be difficult to meet the leader as good as Secretary Yang." Hou Canghai this sentence is true, if not Yang Ding and after participating in the work of all the way to support, he can not become the director of the Heihe Town Party and government office and deputy secretary of the discipline commission in a short period of time.

Yang Ding and knew the mood of Hou Canghai, said: "There is no banquet in the world, maybe that day, I will be transferred away."Each of our cadres is a brick, and the superiors want to move wherever they want.Secretary Zhang Qiang did so, maybe when I ordered a paper, I would get out of the Black River town."

Since the arrival of Li Yongqiang, Yang Dinghe has felt that he is sitting in the position of the Black River, and since his position may be unstable, there is no need to leave Hou Canghaiqiang in the Black River.
