Chapter 5 It's not a matter of time (1)
Outside the volleyball court, Hou Weidong and Xiaojia finally stood together openly. Xiaojia's wish for more than three years was finally realized on the last day. For most students, as long as they do not act excessively, they do not avoid the college teachers. For student cadres who strive to join the party and pursue progress, falling in love is a big problem. The chairman of the second-year high school student union lost the excellent opportunity to enter the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department because of their relationship.
Why Hou Weidong joined the Party and the student union of the school department is related to his experience.
When he was in high school, Hou Weidong became obsessed with the short jumping program. Although he was only 1.75 meters tall, he had excellent explosive power and excellent flexibility. The best score of 100 meters was 11 seconds 36 seconds, which broke the record of middle school students in Shazhou City. He was the top student in the school track and field team. In the entire high school stage, he was immersed in his brilliant sports scores, and his academic performance gradually declined. He was unwilling to take the physical education college. During the college entrance examination, the admission line was 480, and he scored 472 points. He gave up the opportunity to recruit jobs in Wuhai County Public Security Bureau and entered the ranks of repeat students.
In the second year of the college entrance examination, his score exceeded the key line by more than ten points. Hou Weidong thought he had no problem studying at a key university. As a result, he was willing to allocate and inexplicably waited for an admission notice such as Shazhou College, which made him depressed for a holiday.
Before entering the school, Hou Weidong adjusted his mentality and came to Shazhou College with two bags. Because Hou Weidong had suffered setbacks and had been training for a long time, his appearance and temperament seemed more mature than ordinary students. When he entered the school, he was attracted by the grade counselor and appointed as a temporary class cadre. This accidental act frozen Hou Weidong's life trajectory.
As the past lessons of the previous student union president, Hou Weidong must be wary of it. His love with Xiaojia has always been an underground event, which made Xiaojia, who was a little petty bourgeois, feel very depressed. At this time, after obtaining his graduation certificate, Hou Weidong finally stood with Xiaojia openly.
Hou Weidong was wearing a clean white T-shirt, a wide cowhide belt around his waist, and some gray-white jeans in his pants. He was 1.75 meters tall, a sturdy and well-proportioned figure, and his upright short hair made the national face look very energetic. Xiaojia wore a light red dress and proudly held Hou Weidong's hand. He looked at the girls who walked past him from time to time, including some girls from the political and legal department. Seeing Hou Weidong and Xiaojia holding hands together waiting for the school bus, their eyes were so shocked that they fell off.
"Brother, go well", "Go home often to see", "Perfect road" and other slogans hung on the trees, fluttering in the wind and making noises, and the leaders of the college were also waiting to leave on the roadside. Zheng Zhihua's "Sailor" was played in the college radio room: "The feeling of bitterness blowing and hurting the sky makes my father scolded and my mother's crying will never be forgotten. When I was young, I was always alone by the beach, barefoot with my feet rolled up on the beach, searching for evidence of living, the strange roads in the city are too hard to step on the footprints."
This familiar song floated on the campus of Shazhou College. After graduation, the songs of Karaoke were everywhere in China, and "Sailor" became one of Hou Weidong's repertoire.
When the first car left school started, the crying sounds, whether tall or short, sharp or deep, sounded from inside and outside the car, like a grasshopper in the grass being suddenly alarmed by a pair of smelly feet, and flew up toward the blue sky.
For Hou Weidong, parting was not the main problem. He was most worried about to visit Shazhou. Thinking of this shocking trip to visit his future parents-in-law, he had an indescribable uneasiness than ordinary classmates. This uneasiness diluted the sorrow of parting.
Xiaojia seemed to notice Hou Weidong's uneasiness and said, "Weidong, don't worry, this is a natural thing." Hou Weidong thought in his heart: "A person dies and is afraid of a dick." He said, "I'm not worried. An ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her parents-in-law, and a big-foot son-in-law also wants to see her father-in-law and mother-in-law."
After getting on the bus and sitting in the wide school bus, Hou Weidong knew that parting was about to be done, so he stood up and put his head in front of the car window, looking for friends he knew for a while. These figures who swayed in front of him all day suddenly disappeared. He only saw scattered familiar classmates boarding the bus with different names of cities.
After the bus in front started, the bus shook suddenly and slowly slid forward with the dull roar of the engine.
When the bus left the college gate, Xiaojia reached out to hold Hou Weidong's arm. Hou Weidong's local worker had been exposed to the sun for a long time, and he was very uncomfortable with the intimacy exposed to the sun. He subconsciously looked around and soon recalled: After leaving the college gate, he was no longer a student of Shazhou College, and no longer had the department head followed the couple in pairs with a look of regret. The famous saying of the retired dean of the college was only allowed to be lined up and not held hands, and he stayed in Shazhou College forever with the slowly moving bus.
The two of them sat on the bus with their hands in their arms, and Xiaojia leaned her face against Hou Weidong's shoulder. The bus held boxes and other luggage, occupying a lot of space. Hou Weidong took the time to scan the whole car. Except for the two students from other departments who were familiar but could not name them, there was no student from the Law and Political Department, nor Xiaojia's classmates.
Although everyone often goes to and from the college gate, the atmosphere today is obviously different. The ugly gate of the college is a dividing line. When this dividing line comes, everyone in the car is that the students become social people, male classmates become men, comrades, masters or bosses, and female classmates become women, comrades, ladies or wives.
For many unprepared people, they will soon be impacted by reality.
It is not too far from Yiyang County to Shazhou City. It takes only three hours to drive to a large car. There is also a small town called Donghong in the middle. From Yiyang to Donghong, it is a wide first-class road. After passing Donghong, a somewhat dirt town, it is a dirt road with many curves, narrow roads and poor road conditions.
When the car was jumping on the dirt road, Hou Weidong said to Xiaojia, who was leaning on her shoulder: "Shazhou is an industrially powerful city, and it is the immediate boss of the four counties of Yiyang, Wuhai, Linjiang and Chengjin. The economy is so developed, why does this road turn into this way?" Xiaojia is a student and has a little understanding of these things. She said in a low mood: "Donghong is a small town, and it is useless to repair a road."
"This is a manifestation of the pride of Shazhou people and their narrow-mindedness."
Shazhou City is a regional central city. Facing the four counties that guard it, Hou Weidong always held a downward look when he was pursuing Xiaojia, he initially met Xiaojia's arrogant gaze. After breaking the ice, the two became like knees.
Hou Weidong observed the road with interest. Before leaving the college, Ji Daolin, the vice president of the college, once convened a conversation with the cadres who were about to graduate from the school student union and talked about some encouragement words. Ji Daolin said: "If you are careful and don't be smart, you may suffer a short loss in a short time, but if you accumulate strength, you will always achieve unexpected results when you are unexpected."
This passage is really very ordinary. Perhaps Ji Daolin has said this passage on many occasions. Hou Weidong received four years of university education and worked as a student union cadre in the school for three years. He has heard too many speeches and teachings, and has heard a lot of similar words. However, when Ji Daolin was speaking, Hou Weidong remembered these words very strangely. He didn't understand why this was. He just recalled Ji Daolin's two sentences from time to time during his departure from school.
After leaving the academy in a bus, Hou Weidong subconsciously thought about the issue he didn't care about normally, "Why is the road between Shahe and Donghong so dilapidated? If you want to be rich and build a road, does the Shazhou Municipal Government not know this?" This question was in his mind, and he suppressed the fear of meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Three hours later, when five golden words "Shazhou Welcome You" appeared outside the window, Hou Weidong felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He silently recited it in his heart: "A person dies and his eggs are on the sky, so he is afraid of a dick." Then he jumped out of the bus and stepped onto the land of Shazhou City.
