Chapter 6 Returning Home After Graduation
At the end of June, the campus was filled with the smell of separation.
The last days of university seem to many to be like the end of a long journey, with nostalgia, sadness and uneasiness about getting out of this journey, and in the eyes of some, it is the first time in their lives that they have entered society in the strict sense of the word, facing a truly brutal competition, some will succeed, and some will be doomed to not keep up with others from then on.
Although countless people have fantasized about how the second half of the senior year can be in full swing, making the last of the last one of the most meaningful and memorable times in this life go a little slower and slower, but in Qi Zheng's eyes, this time that he had experienced once was like an old movie replayed, the more he entered the role, the more he realized that he owed a lot, and even made him feel that he was still in a dream.
But there is no doubt that life is life after all, and there will not be so much thrilling.
Even if many people want to remember the boys running on the court, the sweaty figures, the rustling and flipping of drawing paper in the art building, or the graceful clothes at the art celebration, they can't help but feel excited, but they originally thought that the last days were extraordinary, but in the end they were still ordinary.
Many people who secretly have feelings for each other want to confess, but they only write the most obscure words and sentences on the classmates, and many things in their hearts can't be spoken. And with this sunset and graduation, it will never be able to speak.
There are also many lovers who love each other and lose to reality, and the distance becomes an insurmountable chasm. When they think that one day, they will completely forget about love and forget each other. But one day, when I heard an old song, tears might have come down. Because of this song, they used to listen to it together.
We've cried together, laughed together, palpitations together, longing or sadness, and it's too late to reminisce, it's about to end.
Thesis defense, participation in graduation ceremonies, group graduation photos, party drinking, walking out of the school gate, each dividing things......
Everyone in the dormitory chose to go home first, and then Lao Xie waited for the new school to start, Zhu Kai will go to the United States to hook up with new cuties, and Zhang Zehong will gather in Qi Zheng's hometown to start a new career together. Tian Yuwei also went home first, and then went to the United States accompanied by his mother, and the two agreed not to say goodbye, and there would be a period later.
Qi Zheng felt that the first three years of his rebirth ended quite elegantly.
……
Qi Zheng walked out of the airport, and the hot air and scattered motorcycle rush made him realize that he was back in Nankai City.
Nankai City, a prefecture-level city in Min Province, is located in the north of Min Province, at the junction of Min Province, Jiangnan Province and Changxi Province.
Nankai is not much different from other large and small cities in China, full of construction sites, high-rise buildings and modern buildings are rising from the ground. Time changes, and urban construction never stops!
Qi Zheng did not hang out, but directly transferred to the fastest bus to Pucheng County at Nankai Bus Terminal.
All the way to the north, the mountains and rivers are meandering, thousands of screens, rolling and undulating, the trees are lush, and the ancient vines are entangled. Strange peaks, beautiful waters, hidden valleys, dangerous ravines and many other beautiful scenery gathered, if you are a first-time tourist, you will definitely be attracted by the beautiful scenery along the way, and you can't help yourself.
However, for Qi Zheng, the more precipitous the scenery, the more it means that the terrain is complex, the transportation is inconvenient, and the economic development space is seriously limited.
In Qi Zheng's impression, in the next ten years, the development of the city center of Nankai City was not bad, but many counties that deviated from the city center were weakened by the economic radiation of the core urban area, which made the degree of information communication, population settlement, and business distribution not high, and it was not developed for a long time.
My hometown of Pucheng County is a typical example.
Pucheng County is located in the northernmost part of Min Province, the junction of three provinces, is the "north gate" of Min Province, the mountains extend two veins, and the water is injected into the three rivers. The county covers an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers, which is the third largest county in Min Province, including nearly 4.4 million mu of mountainous area, 550,000 mu of cultivated land and 150,000 mu of river water area.
Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Pucheng County has been a commodity circulation channel near the three provinces, and a material distribution center adjacent to the region. "The crown covers the exchanges, the merchants are divergent, and the products are nourishing. After the Republic of China, it was in a backward state, and until the rebirth of Qi Zheng, it was still one of the provincial-level poor counties in Min Province.
As the granary of the northern part of Min Province, Pucheng County is mainly agricultural, and its long-term status as a large agricultural county has made its industrial base weak and the industrialization process slow. This is both advantageous and unfavorable for Qi Zheng: The abundance of agricultural resources is one of its geographical advantages, and as long as it can base itself on the local area and develop characteristic industries with comparative advantages, it is easier to obtain strong support from the government; however, the backward economic basic conditions require relatively large input.
But this time, Qi Zheng is confident that his hometown will be on the fast track of economic development.
When the shuttle bus arrived at Pucheng County, twilight had fallen, and Qi Zheng had no choice but to find a hotel in the county seat to stay, preparing to go home the next day.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Qi Zheng caught a bus to Linjiang Town, which is 60 kilometers away from the county seat of Pucheng, and this section of the road can be called the worst road on the trip.
Qi Zheng, who was sitting in the car and staggering and dizzy, thought fiercely in his heart, to buy a car, you must buy a car, if you don't drive this broken road, you will be guilty.
Qi Zheng's hometown, Daling Village, is located near Linjiang Town, across the mountain from Linjiang Town, and returning to the town means that Qi Zheng has arrived home!
……
After getting off the bus in Linjiang Town, I met an acquaintance in the next village, and by the way, I got on his motorcycle, and arrived at Daling Village in less than ten minutes.
Daling Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, three mountains and two waters, a small basin in the middle, and the villages are scattered at the entrance of the basin. It faces Linjiang Town across Daling Mountain in the east, and Daling Village is also named after it, with Sanmuling in the west, Houling in the south, Yanshui River in the north, and Shangjiao Village across the water. There are more than 100 households in total, with a total area of about 19 square kilometers and 1,800 acres of cultivated land.
The village is basically a two-storey low-rise building and tiled houses, and all you can see is the scenery of a poor village - young people go out to work, and the village is developing at a rapid pace, and the impression is that the tiled houses are basically eliminated and small buildings are lived in until ten years later.
Qi Zheng's house is at the head of the village, and the two-story cement building is built near the peach forest. The family opened a small store by themselves, specializing in supplying some bits and pieces of daily necessities, and the business was still confused.
Qi Zheng carried simple luggage and stepped into the house, "Dad, Mom...... I am back. ”
"Hey, Xiaozheng, are you back?" Mom poked her head out of the commissary and smiled, "Why don't you say it in advance when you come back today, I'll let your dad go to the town to pick you up!"
Mother Zhong Ying looks a lot younger than she remembers, although she has already seen some fat body shape, but there is a hint of shrewdness between her eyebrows.
"Where's Dad?"
My mother pouted, "The village committee is holding a meeting, and it is said that there is any document to be conveyed on it...... Your dad is like this, he works hard for the village every day, isn't he just a broken leader the size of a sesame seed, and he doesn't know what to do?"
Qi Zheng couldn't help but smile, his father is the village party secretary and village head of Daling Village, and he worries about the big and small things in the village all day long, and his mother is quite dissatisfied with this, and the quarrels between the two have been going on for a year.
"What are you talking about? When my son comes back, I'm going to listen to you nagging. Father Qi Jiande just came back, and when he heard his mother burying him in front of his son again, he couldn't help but retort.
Looking at the face of the national character at this moment, the father with a vaguely handsome face, Qi Zheng smiled and shook his head. More than ten years later, my father's face is full of wrinkles, and his originally straight waist board is also rickety between walking, and he also has cervical spondylosis.
At that time, my father was too practical and worked hard for the development of the village, and when his career failed again, his marriage ran aground, my father was exhausted, and he was riddled with diseases, and he would still be anxious for his future. Qi Zheng sometimes didn't dare to imagine how hard he would be hit by his death in his previous life.
Seeing the two elders fighting while bringing the food out of the kitchen with their hands and feet, Qi Zheng's heart was warm, and at the same time he felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders.
He clearly knows that in this society, he wants to reverse his fate and let his parents live a comfortable and carefree old age, and the first step now is to start his career smoothly and continue to succeed. In the economically developed society of the future, money largely represents status and success values.
Drinking the familiar fragrant mushroom stewed chicken soup all over the house, Qi Zheng asked casually, "Little brother is about to take a holiday, right?"
Qi Zheng also has a younger brother, Qi Lu, who is in his second year of high school this year, studying in the county middle school, living in the school every day, and usually going home at the end of the month, and now it should be very close to the summer vacation.
"I'll be back in two weeks at most. Mom said, "You came back just in time, your brother is in the third year of high school, you remind him that the time has come to fight, and Mom is looking forward to him coming back from the entrance examination for a key university!"
"What do you know, how long can your son stay at home? If Xiaolu is not sensible, it is useless for anyone to remind him. "Dad habitually raised the bar again.
Mom secretly pinched my father's waist and ribs, and her complexion had changed, "Oh, I said how do you talk about you! At this juncture, you don't give Xiaolu encouragement, so why do you want him to not work hard and get into a bad school?
Qi Zheng laughed, his younger brother Qi Lu is actually a guy with a high IQ, but he usually doesn't work hard, and his grades go up and down, which annoys his mother. However, in the end, my mother's expectations were disappointed, because my younger brother unexpectedly chose art in the future, and was admitted to Nortel with the third highest college entrance examination score in the county, so angry that my mother almost had a heart attack.
However, in his previous life, his younger brother's path was much smoother than his own, so this time Qi Zheng did not intend to interfere with his younger brother's choice, and it turned out that geniuses were going to take an unusual path.
Mom and Dad didn't know Qi Zheng's plan to come back, and Qi Zheng was not in a hurry to explain, and was going to give them a "surprise" after eating, well, it should be a surprise.
