Chapter 3 Keep the roots
Han Sanjiang looked at Secretary Ouyang, who was full of expectations, the kind of gaze that was more like a lover, inseparable, and suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer his words. It always feels weird, but I can't describe what is weird.
Zhu Xiaomei Han Sanjiang's mother, seeing Secretary Ouyang's eyes, was a little uncomfortable, did Secretary Ouyang take the wrong medicine, why did she look at her son like this, she replied uncomfortably: "Secretary Ouyang, why do you look at my son like this, like a reluctant lover, I have goosebumps when I see it, it's uncomfortable!"
Because of Zhu Xiaomei's reminder, everyone noticed Secretary Ouyang's gaze, Secretary Xiao Wang was the youngest, only in his twenties, and he was Secretary Ouyang's secretary, so she had to remind: "Secretary Ouyang, you have lost your temper!"
Secretary Ouyang smiled and said: "Secretary Xiao Wang, I haven't lost my temper, my gaze is called a loving gaze, also called a gaze that retains the roots, and there is a difference between it and a loving gaze, you don't understand, right?"
Director Liu sighed curiously, and couldn't help asking: "Secretary Ouyang is very knowledgeable, and I am willing to listen to you!"
Secretary Sun also echoed: "There is also this kind of gaze that retains the roots, I haven't heard of it before, Ouyang old ghost, you created it yourself, right?"
Before everyone could jokingly ask why, Zhu Xiaomei immediately spoke: "I said Secretary Ouyang, you want to leave my son in this poor and remote place, where the birds don't run thin, this is too difficult for a strong man, my son is as big as Wuhan, just stay in this Diankou Commune, aren't you joking? I don't agree! My son is in ······charge." Her face was full of displeasure, and even her beautiful face was a little deformed.
Han Yu was also unhappy, he continued: "Secretary Ouyang, today you came to engage in such a big battle, and the reason for the mobilization of the teachers was to leave my son in the small place of the store, I don't agree, but if your son was admitted to Wuhan University, you don't agree either!" Let's compare our hearts to our hearts, you look at our store, the road is bumpy, either mud and sand or yellow mud, and then look at our house, all of them are fucking adobe houses, even our commune does not have a few decent houses, and then look at this embankment, how high it is when it leaves the river, and when it comes to the flood season, it will flood over the embankment, and our rice fields will be washed up for a year, and we don't know what it will look like in two years! Which point of our store is good? Which point is comfortable? If you look at Wuhan, it's called a big place, with high-rise buildings, neat streets, and all of them are beautifully dressed.
As soon as Secretary Ouyang heard the words of the two of them, he stood up excitedly and replied loudly: "Han Yu, you are still a model worker, just this ideological awareness, why, you said that this battle is not what I meant, those aunts and aunts, as well as the children formed spontaneously, have nothing to do with us at all, don't believe it, you ask Director Liu, Secretary Sun, and Secretary Xiao Wang!"
Director Liu and the three nodded at the same time, and said in response: "It's not our commune's doing, it's those aunts and aunts who are idle and bored and spontaneously do it! It has nothing to do with us!"
Secretary Ouyang continued: "You said that if my son was admitted to university, he would not do it, and you would not even want the roots, just thinking that your son would live in a big city, and then go to the city to retire when he is old, are you so selfish? If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it tomorrow, there are two tractors and a cultivator in Wuyi Commune now, but it's a pity that our Wuyi Commune doesn't have the flat fields of Diankou Commune, and some places can't go at all, we have two college students in Diankou, we should learn from other people's communes and get rid of poverty as soon as possible!"
Everyone looked at Secretary Ouyang's red face, and they didn't know what to say, it seems that he is more serious today, and his colleagues know that this Secretary Ouyang has never been red with people.
At this time, Han Yu and his family were even more unhappy, Zhu Xiaomei was so anxious that she stammered: "Secretary Ouyang, I know that you are good for our store, but I don't have such a good consciousness as you, you are a secretary and an official, I am a common people, a useless person, we are useless people, my vision is short-sighted, not as noble as you, besides, you also know that my health is not very good, I boil medicine all year round, my face is sallow and sallow, I don't want my son to suffer like us anymore, stop when you come to me!" It's not a matter of working in the sun every day, I'm waiting for my son to graduate from college, waiting to go to the city to enjoy a few years of happiness, but I'm dead, and my old bones are worth it!"
Han Yu also echoed: "Yes, yes, my wife is right! Look at Secretary Ouyang, you better find another master, right?" He smiled bitterly, but looked very uncomfortable.
Secretary Ouyang hummed, sat down, calmed down, took a few sips of tea, and said slowly: "I wish you little sister, you are not in good health, and we have not taken good care of you, here I apologize! I'm sorry, sister! From tomorrow, you will go to the health center to lie down, I will find the best old Chinese medicine doctor to treat you, if the commune can't cure it, let's go to the county for treatment, this matter is on me, as long as your son can come back to work, we will do our best to take care of you old couple!" Our store is located on the riverside, the location is quite good, but the embankment is not good, do a good job, to achieve the four modernizations, that is the best conditions, you see, which of our rice fields is not very flat, standing on the embankment, all green waves, at a glance can not see the edge, our embankment has been repaired, in the flat machine farmland, what a beautiful thing? Why do you want to send your son out, this out, we don't even have roots? Besides, Han Yu, you told me to find another talent, and our commune was admitted to the university for your son and Muligen's daughter, where did you tell me to find it? Don't you want this ready-made, idle and boring? Our commune has not produced a single talent for twenty or thirty years, no, forty years, and we have waited for more than 40 years to wait for such an opportunity, how can we say that we will give up and give up? You say, what are we trying to do in the past 40 years or so? We can't live like this, living a life with our faces facing the loess and our backs to the sky, right? What do you say? After speaking, he subconsciously looked at everyone.
Secretary Ouyang's words immediately moved everyone present, Secretary Xiao Wang pouted, almost cried, and sighed: "Secretary Ouyang's words are so touching, blame me for not being admitted to the university, next year I will continue to take the college entrance examination, I will definitely be admitted to the university, and I decided to stay in my hometown Fengqiao Commune and contribute to my hometown!"
Han Sanjiang originally had no intention of staying, listening to Secretary Wang's words, the bottom of his heart triggered the wave of love for his hometown, Secretary Ouyang was right, I am from Diankou, my roots are in Diankou, the fallen leaves return to the roots, no matter how bad my hometown is, it is also my hometown, if I even look down on my hometown, then can my hometown be good? Secretary Ouyang's sincere words made Han Sanjiang make a decision, no matter how bad his hometown is, he must also protect his hometown and make his hometown better!
Secretary Ouyang noticed that Han Sanjiang's face had changed, and he could see that he was actually an iron-clad man with his own blood and passion, so he said: "Sanjiang, I am optimistic about you, your parents have not read any books, and the big truth does not make sense to them, I hope you can understand the truth I said." You just have to make a statement, you are the party concerned, you have the final say! If you say that you won't go back to the store, then next year I will ask to be transferred away, and I won't work in your store? I have been here since the land reform, and it can be said that this is my second hometown, and since the people in my hometown don't want my hometown anymore, then I am just a passerby, and I have nothing to be nostalgic for!" He did go a little too far, but it was not unreasonable. Other people's own hometowns don't want anymore, what else have you done for him, isn't that a waste of effort, not flattering?
Zhu Xiaomei replied very embarrassed: "Secretary Ouyang, what you said made me feel so uncomfortable, as if I forced you to leave, and people don't know what to do after hearing it······ Her words paled a little weakly.
Keeping a person like this, Secretary Ouyang has never done it in history, this is the first time in his life that he has done this, and I don't know if others will give him face. His heart was like fifteen buckets of water, a mess.
Han Yu teasingly replied: "Secretary Ouyang, what you said is too embarrassing, don't we agree to you, it will be too unkind, promise you······?
At this time, Han Sanjiang made up his mind to stay and contribute to the store, he felt that Secretary Ouyang was a figure who stood up to the sky, if he lived up to his expectations, then he was a villain, a villain who only wanted it personally, regardless of the overall situation. Studying is to better serve the motherland in the future, and also to better contribute to the construction of the hometown. He looked at his parents, and then solemnly announced: "Secretary Ouyang, I promise you, promise you, when I finish college, I will go back to the store to contribute! And Secretary Ouyang, you have to promise me that you can retire when I come back! Otherwise, without you, we will have no backbone!"
Zhu Xiaomei couldn't understand what her son said, shook her head and shouted: "Son, are you stupid! Such a good opportunity, why do you give up and return to our place facing the loess? Why?"
Han Yu was a little incredulous, Secretary Ouyang's words could actually touch his son's heart, maybe he was too young to know what he could change when he came back to face the loess! What could he change? Just one or two of him could shake the heavens and the earth, and he couldn't help but shout: "Son, you are too young to know our place, this place is a place where immortals have to think twice before they go down, not to mention that you are just a college student, can you shake the sky and move the earth?" If you look at the Sanjiangkou at the door of your house, there are also Zhujiawu, Shigewu, and the ridges from the seven miles below the brigade, a piece of water is miao, which is like a place to plant a farmer, when the tide rises every year, the river water pours in, and the rice fields become a turbid ocean, and when the water recedes, you can still come out when you see the seedlings pressed by the yellow mud?
Han Sanjiang saw his father's embarrassed expression, so he decided to stay, he explained: "Mom and Dad, I know that you are good for me, but I can't be good for myself, forget my roots, and the fallen leaves have to return to the roots?
Han Yu replied helplessly: "Son, you are not a tree, what leaves do you fall, what roots do you fall to!
