Chapter 22: Encountering Classmates on the Road
Just as I was feeling depressed, I walked out of the county government compound, shrugging my head.
A loud hello:
"One wood" shocked me.
I looked up, oh ho. It turned out to be my junior high school classmate Jiang Zheng. What a good guy! He was dark and strong, with a fashionable "big pigtail" on his big head, a pair of black "sunglasses", a floral shirt and
He was wearing orange beach shorts, a pair of leather sandals, and a smoking cigarette between his left index and middle fingers.
I saw him walking towards me with his head high and his chest high. When he was almost in front of me, he raised his right hand and pushed his sunglasses to the top of his head. Then he shook hands with me generously. At the same time, he put his left hand around my right shoulder and shook it vigorously.
Akira, conveyed his enthusiasm to me without reservation.
This particularly enthusiastic "meeting ceremony" swept away my unhappiness.
Then he neatly took out the cigarette case from his right trouser pocket, put it in his left hand, held the cigarette case with his left hand and shook it, shook out a cigarette, took it out with his right hand and handed it to me. Looking at the cigarette case, it still said "Hongtashan".
.
We handed it and received it, and asked at the same time: "What are you doing here?"
Then they looked at each other, "Hahaha..." and laughed.
After taking the cigarette from Jiang Zheng, I followed his example and held the cigarette between my right index finger and middle finger. He immediately took out a lighter and started to light it for me. I quickly waved my hand and said I didn't smoke.
He laughed again "Hahaha..." for a while and did not force me to light up the cigarette.
Although I held the cigarette, my movements were jerky and not as sophisticated as his. Looking at the way he puffed out the smoke and flicked the cigarette ashes, as gracefully as flowing water, I felt a little ashamed of myself.
Jiang Zheng was my classmate in elementary school and junior high school. In elementary school, we were just classmates. After three years of junior high school life, we became more familiar with each other. His father is the vice principal of the school, and his father’s uncle is the president of the county court.
He is also the third brother like me, but I am the eldest in my family, and he is the second in his family. As for his brother, it is said that he doesn’t listen to adults very much, and he will not follow the path planned for him by his family. At Jingshan University
After graduation, he worked as a manager at a foreign-related hotel in Haichang City and did not return to Xigui to work. His younger brother, like my two younger brothers, is still studying.
When I graduated from junior high school, I went to Deyang, a heavy industrial city, to study industrial technology. He went to the Provincial Grain School in Chengdu to study grain management. Some of my other classmates went to Dujiangyan to study forestry, and some went to normal school and health school after a year of tutoring.
The two of us walked towards Xigui Square and chatted.
I said, "I came to the County Personnel Bureau to report and hand over my dispatch certificate."
He said: "I came back earlier, so I handed it in earlier, and it was also handed over to the Personnel Section of the County Personnel Bureau."
I asked him again: "Do you know any news?" After all, his family has a relatively strong relationship.
He said: "I don't know. They say the policy is unclear and we have to wait for the policy. Maybe it won't include work assignments, and maybe there will be exams."
I felt that he was hiding something from me, and he deliberately made it so confusing that it was hard to ask any more questions. Then he asked about news about other classmates.
In fact, when they were studying, they were not as good as me. However, it is not that I am smarter than them. In fact, only I know that I work harder than them.
When I first entered junior high school, my grades were not very good, but luckily I met a good teacher. He encouraged me and trained me all the way. With his help, he led another teacher to help me very carefully.
.They often help me with my homework for free, and after finishing my lessons, I have dinner at their house before going home.
I always have a flashlight in my schoolbag, because it’s already around 7 or 8pm when I get home after tutoring and dinner. Although it’s only a little over a kilometer from school to home, there are no street lights in the countryside like in the city.
The road was dark. After returning home, I took a short rest and started studying again. I stayed up until eleven or twelve in the evening, or even after midnight, and then got up to study at five in the morning...
Over time, over time, it started again and again, so starting from the second semester of the second grade of junior high school, I seemed to have exploded with great strength, and my grades in the class skyrocketed, and I actually created a "miracle".
Later I heard that a teacher at that time was not very optimistic about me because I was not a "seeded player" in the school. He made a joking bet with my teacher: "If you pass the Muyi exam, I will fry the fish in my heart for you."
." My mentor was not convinced on my behalf, so he spent time cultivating me. However, in order to protect my little self-esteem, my mentor did not tell me about this matter, nor did he let other teachers "leak the news."
It wasn't until I graduated and was successfully admitted to a school in Deyang that my mentor told me about this incident at the "Teacher Appreciation Banquet". The teacher was also at the banquet at that time, and it was very embarrassing for me to be drunk. But he still said: "He was a spur.
"I just encourage them in a different way." Everyone just laughed it off.
Fortunately, I was very upbeat and lived up to expectations. Otherwise, I don’t know if this “prompt” would have turned into a “prophecy.”
Just as he was preparing to say goodbye to classmate Jiang Zheng, he added: "I still live in Datang Middle School, and we will keep in touch from now on."
