As the saying goes, it is easy to do things with familiarity. With the help of Xiao Li, the General Cadre Department, in less than half an hour, Hou Weidong easily completed all the procedures after leaving four departments.

On the aisle, Hou Weidong handed Xiao Li a cigarette, lit the fire, and said sincerely: "Secretary Li, thank you very much." Xiao Li had a mouthful of black teeth, which was the result of the interaction between cigarettes and tea. He took over Hongtashan, took a sip, and said: "I am just a clerk. What is the section chief? The procedures are complete. You can go to Qinglin Town to report." After saying that, he lowered his voice, with an old friend's expression, and said: "If Secretary Zhao can send you down, or ask the Organization Department to send a deputy minister to send you down, life will be easier in Qinglin Town in the future."

Hou Weidong said gratefully: "Thank you, Section Chief Li." He did not take Xiao Li's last advice to heart.

After leaving the Personnel Bureau, Hou Weidong went to the grain station to complete the grain and oil procedures. It was less than three o'clock at this time, and he was in a dilemma. The procedures stated that the registration was valid within five days. However, when he heard that it would take three hours to go to Qinglin Town, it was already past six o'clock today, so registration was impossible, but if you take a bus back to Wuhai County, it would be a bit difficult to get back and forth.

The name "Duan Ying" suddenly burst out from his mind. Hou Weidong hurriedly threw this idea into the gutter. He came to the post office, sat in front of the big table at the post office, and slowly wrote a letter to Xiaojia, talking about the experience during this period, narrating the pain of lovesickness, and handing the letter to the postbox. It was still not until four o'clock. The wall clock of the post office had a calendar, which just showed Wednesday. At Shazhou College, there was a dance party on Wednesday and Friday, so Wednesday was also a special day. Hou Weidong also had special nostalgia for this day. Seeing that it was Wednesday, Hou Weidong had a flash of inspiration: "The college also has a guesthouse, which is cheap and clean. Why don't you go back to the college to stay for one night and go to Qinglin Town tomorrow morning to report."

When he arrived at the familiar Shazhou College, Hou Weidong went straight to the guesthouse and registered his housing first. It costs twenty yuan per night for ordinary two people in Yiyang County, while the college guesthouse only costs ten yuan. After booking a house, Hou Weidong drank some boiled water in the room, turned on the TV, lay on the bed and watched for a while. After nightfall, Hou Weidong left the guesthouse and went for dinner at some snack shops on the campus.

At this time, the college had already had a holiday, but there were still a few students who stayed in the college. They usually went to get food in the teacher's cafeteria. Hou Weidong walked away alone in the empty school, which was very different from the feeling when he was studying that day. When he passed through the large sports field, the scenery was still the same, things changed, and people seemed particularly lonely under the night sky.

Hou Weidong ate a double-cooked pork, a cabbage soup, and two bowls of rice in a familiar snack bar. He ate it tastelessly. Several students were drinking and were excited. One person said, "A small dance hall is open on the back door. The environment is good, so let's go dance." Several students responded.

After leaving the college, Hou Weidong walked around the lake bank of the campus again, but he didn't meet anyone. In a daze, Hou Weidong returned to the guesthouse and the TV program was extremely ugly. Hou Wei*** remembered the words of the students in the snack shop, and left the guesthouse. When he walked to the door of the guesthouse, the waiter said, "Close the door at twelve o'clock, remember to come back."

There is indeed a dance hall outside the back door. The ticket is three yuan and the facilities are much better than the college dance hall. The dance floor inside is not big. There are several rotating light heads hanging on the top, and there are some musical instruments on the backstage. Six musicians are playing hard. The music from the band and the music from the recorder are indeed very different. The sense of liveness and penetration are incomparable.

At least half of the dance halls are students staying on campus, and most of them have fixed dance partners. Hou Weidong was not anxious. He lit the remaining Hongta Mountain and slowly smoked it on his seat. As the music sounded, the cigarette butts flickered.

After a few songs, Hou Weidong saw a woman with long hair sitting in the corner, looking very young, but from her temperament, she was obviously not a student. When another song of music started, Hou Weidong walked to her side and reached out with a graceful touch. The woman looked up at Hou Weidong and stood up.

The two danced to the music and cooperated perfectly.

Because Hou Weidong practiced track and field in high school for several years, he had excellent physical coordination and good ballroom dance. He was recommended by the department and received training from the music department dance teacher. He represented the Department of Politics and Law to participate in the school ballroom dance competition. After participating in the competition, Hou Weidong did not like to dance with ordinary girls. Dancing is a kind of enjoyment. If he doesn't dance well, it is purely a torture.

Seeing that the woman was dancing well, Hou Weidong increased the difficulty and changed his pace. He flexibly shuttled the field with the rhythm. The two of them took advantage of the situation and the whole audience flew.

At the end of the song, Hou Weidong praised the other party, "You danced so well." The woman had some sweat on her head, and she smiled, "You took good care of her." Neither of them sat down in their seats, and waited tacitly for the next dance song to play.

When the next music started, Hou Weidong saw several men walking towards the woman with long hair beside him, so he took the lead and took the woman with long hair into the dance floor. The song was still fast-paced. The two of them cooperated very well and rotated, just like a dance partner who had been working together for a long time. After this song, the two naturally stood together.

Hou Weidong sincerely praised: "You are the best dance partner with me. It is a real enjoyment to jump up and flow." The long-haired woman is about 1.65 meters short, just ten centimeters short. With the dim light, he saw the woman's appearance clearly. The long-haired woman is only in her early twenties, with delicate facial features and a slightly raised nose. She is a beautiful and elegant beauty. With her long fluttering hair, she is actually seventy-sixth-parted to Li Ruotong.

The third song is a slow dance, and the sad song "A song from midnight radio gently comes from the front desk, which is the melody that you and I are already familiar with... All love can only have one result, and I deeply know that it is definitely not me."

Hou Weidong and the long-haired woman slid into the dance floor gently. As soon as they reached the center of the dance floor, the light suddenly dimmed. A low bass said: "It's ten minutes of tenderness now. Please immerse the gentlemen and ladies in music and dance to their heart's content." As soon as the words fell, most of the lights turned off, and there was only a dim ceiling light at the entrance.

After reaching out, the dance was no longer possible, so Hou Weidong took the woman with a long hair and shook gently with the sad singing.
