Chapter 34: Reminiscing about the years of the North Drift
"Fang Yi, I'm going to change careers. Fat Dong didn't seem to be interested in things like criticism and review, so he diverted the topic.
"What, you're going to resign? It's very good to save Taiwan, with high wages and good benefits. "Lo Fong Yi is in the job hunting season and knows almost everything about the treatment of the news media in Bac Giang province. This fat winter, I can't get into the media even if I want to, but he wants to resign, he really doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings. Once again, it turns out that this little chubby dun is short-sighted.
"Heck, I'm not talking about resignation, I'm talking about transfer. Fat Dong hurriedly explained, "I'm too tired to do it now." I think I'm still good at dealing with customers. ”
"So, you're going to do marketing?"
"Yes. ”
"Marketing doesn't seem to be brisk. How good a reporter is, no matter where he goes, there are people to respect, which is really enviable. ”
"You little girl, you haven't entered this industry yet, and you're going to float?" Fat Dong opened his eyes vigorously. His eyes were small, like crescent moons, the kind that loomed at sunset. He is afraid of being misunderstood and said that he is disrespectful, so every time he talks to others, he always tries to keep his eyes open, "What's so good about being a reporter? Offending people all day long, going out for fear of being bumped, and not daring to quarrel with people when they bump into them, for fear of losing their image." I didn't dare to report to the unit after arguing, for fear of embarrassing the leader. ”
"Uh...... Why can't I understand what you're talking about? Hey, Master, here!" Luo Fangyi hurriedly beckoned when he saw Xiang Bei coming over for dinner.
"Hello, Brother Xiang. Fat Winter got up and greeted.
"Fat Dong, why are you here?" Xiang Bei was as surprised as Luo Fangyi's expression, and it was indeed a master and apprentice.
"What's up, aren't you welcome? haha. Fat Dong smiled, "Our department just had a cooperation project to discuss with the newspaper, and sent me to the front station." ”
"Welcome, welcome. Lion's head: The fat winter dish is quite hard, this is the signature dish of our newspaper, eat more. The food in the newspaper office is not as good as the provincial station, and the next time you come to tell me in advance, we will go out to eat. ”
Seeing Xiang Bei carrying a convenient bag with two buns in it, Luo Fangyi asked, "Master, why do you eat so much?"
"I still have something to do, so I can make do with something to save time. Xiang Bei looked hurried, greeted the two and left.
On the fifth floor of the newspaper, a huge curved LED display screen is updating the latest news clues in real time. This is the new media department of Beijiang Evening News through the big data system, sorted out the province's news information, it is like the nerve center of reporters, so that everyone saves the early stage of collecting clues, of course, the omitted link does not mean that everyone can be idle, but there is more work to do. After all, technological advancements aren't meant to make people lazy.
Xiang Bei printed and bound the review book and presented it to Yu Chongming.
At this time, Yu Chongming was having lunch and burping back to the office.
"Mr. Yu, this is the material I organized, can you take a look?" Xiang Bei walked up head-on and handed over the materials with both hands.
"Oh? It's written, it's pretty efficient. Yu Chongming took a toothpick and picked the vegetable stains between his teeth, picked them for a while, felt uncomfortable and rubbed his tongue repeatedly, and then spit out a few mouthfuls, which seemed to be transparent, "Give me the materials, I'll transfer them to Lao Chen." ”
Yu Chongming was planning to change into sportswear to go to the gym, and he was in no mood to chat with Xiangbei. The so-called fitness is nothing more than a treadmill and simple weight training. Every day from 1 to 2 o'clock at noon, the basement floor of the Beijiang Evening News is a gym, which has been a habit that Yu Chongming has developed in the past few years.
Handed in the "homework" to the north and had nothing to do for the afternoon. It's a rare situation, except for feeling moldy all over the body, aching cervical spine, and watching other colleagues busy, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, many times this is not the case, there is no in the afternoon, and when it comes to the end of work, Yu Chongming calls Xiangbei to the office.
The leader's illness and worrying about his life.
You don't have to think about it to know that it is this review that is being talked about, and Yu Chongming waved his pen on the paper and put forward a few revisions. A leader deserves to be a leader, and with such a hint, the height and depth of the entire text have been achieved.
Opinions belong to opinions, prompts return to prompts, and the rest of the work still has to be done in the north.
It's going to be overtime again. It was ten o'clock in the evening when I left the newspaper office to the north, and it was another difficult night, and the streets were already empty. Driving north, somewhat absent-minded, the only little bit of consciousness supported by the habits formed over the years of driving. He looked at the neon lights on both sides of the road along the way, and looked at the starry lights on the high-rise buildings, cold and warm, illuminating the warm homes.
When I arrived at the community, I parked the car to the north and looked up at the 8th floor, the lights were still on, and the two of them hadn't rested yet?
And so it was. When Xiang North entered the bedroom, Zhou Xuecen was leaning on the edge of the bed and coaxing Nuo Yi to sleep.
tiptoed back to the living room to the north, simply ate something, leaned on the sofa to rest, and unconsciously fell asleep, and it was close to midnight when he was woken up by Zhou Xuecen.
"Husband, go back to the house and sleep. Zhou Xuecen's voice was gentle.
"Is the child asleep?"
"Well, asleep. ”
"Wife, if you are not tired, if you are not tired, let's sit down and talk. Xiang Bei said.
"Well, I'll pour you a glass of water. Zhou Xuecen felt that Xiangbei was a little abnormal today. In the past, Xiangbei would go home to eat something, watch TV for a while and lie down to rest, and the two would at most lean on the bedside and chat. What's wrong with this today, it feels so formal?
"Husband, why do I think your face is a little bad today?" Zhou Xuecen put the water cup on the coffee table.
"Uh...... It's okay, maybe I've had too many things going on these days, and I'm a little tired. Xiangbei was silent for a while, "Wife, we've been in Hedong for 9 years, right?"
Zhou Xuecen also pondered for a while and said: "If you count from the time you came to Beijiang Evening News for an internship, it will be eight and a half years, and I will be one year or seven and a half years later than you." ”
"Time flies so fast, eight years have passed. We've known each other for 10 years. Xiang Bei stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Xuecen's right hand and held it between his hands, that little hand was still so soft, as delicate and soft as the water in the stream, "In the first few years, we had no money and lived in a single dormitory, but now we have finally saved some money and bought a house, and you have to take care of Nuoyi at home." Wife, you've suffered all these years. ”
"What do you say, husband, aren't you also very hard," Zhou Xuecen leaned on Xiangbei's shoulder, looking like a bird, "Do you remember when you were in school, there was a year and an eleventh holiday, we went to see the flag-raising, took the bus from the North Fourth Ring Road, transferred to the subway, and it was already evening when we got there, and then waited in the square all night." I remember it was very cold at night, and we were wearing summer short sleeves. The two of us sat on the chairs on the side of the road, and you held my hand and asked me if I was cold, that was the first time you grabbed my hand, and I was still hiding......"
Xiang Bei's eyes were a little moist, "Now that I think about it, I feel quite stupid at that time, I actually stayed up all night on the street, hehe." From then on, let you suffer with me. ”
"I didn't feel bitter," Zhou Xuecen said, "I still remember that one winter, when you were preparing for the civil service exam, you thought the school was too noisy and couldn't study at ease, so you rented the basement of a hotel...... Now think about it...... That room is so small, it can only put down a single bed with a width of one meter and two meters, and there is no room for anyone standing in the room. Moreover, the hotel was dirty and broken, and there were all kinds of people, so I feel quite scary when I think about it now. ”
"Well, I remember...... Afterward...... Didn't I get in? Xiang Bei smiled bitterly.
"You still say, when you go back to the basement after the exam, I feel that my face is wrong. You don't talk either. As a result, when you turn off the light and go to bed at night, you start crying, first quietly, and then uncontrollably crying. It scared the hell out of me, I thought something was wrong. ”
"Well, because I feel like I didn't do well in the exam......" Xiangbei was a little embarrassed.
"And then I kept hugging you, and I didn't know how to comfort you. You said...... I didn't do well in the exam today, you say...... You're probably going to get out of here, you're going to get out of Beijing......"
"As a result, you said, leave and leave, and I will go wherever you go. Pick up her words to the north.
"At that time, although it was a little bitter and tiring, I felt quite content. Zhou Xuecen was silent for a while, "Husband, don't put too much pressure on yourself, as long as our family is happy and happy, it is more important than anything else." At least...... Let's still have such a home, at least you still have me, and Noyi. ”
At this time, Xiang Bei was completely unable to suppress it, and tears came out of his eyes. He covered his face with his hands, trying to hide the embarrassment in his heart, but his body still couldn't stop shaking.
Maybe Zhou Xuecen thought that Xiangbei recalled the past, and there were thousands of emotions in his heart to be like this. Xiang Bei thought to himself.
Zhou Xuecen felt the change in Xiangbei's mood, he didn't say anything as usual, just quietly hugged him and stroked his hair with his hand. However, this time it seems to feel different.
"Husband, is there anything wrong with work?"
Xiangbei didn't squeak, slowly controlled his emotions, and stopped sobbing, "I want to take a few days off from the unit tomorrow, and accompany you and Nuoyi, I've been too tired from work recently......"
"Well, it's time for you to get some rest, and you've been on a business trip for months on end. Did you find it, Nuoyi and you are a little rusty. ”
Isn't it, since the last incident in Luohe Village, Xiangbei has been running around for more than half of the time, and even if he doesn't go on a business trip, he goes out early and returns late every day, which is completely staggered from the child's biological clock, so it naturally seems rusty.
"Wife, do you have any places you want to go? Let's go out and relax. ”
"Uh......" Zhou Xuecen thought for a while, "We have to go out with Nuoyi, and we can't go too far, or ...... Let's go to Beijing, go back to our alma mater, go back to the places we used to play, what do you think, husband?"
"Okay, no problem!" To be honest, since I came to work in Hedong, Xiangbei has not been back to Beijing for six or seven years, and I have always been thinking about the opportunity to go back and see.
"Well, I want to eat sweet and sour tenderloin from the school cafeteria......"
"What's delicious about that dish, it's still an authentic ...... made of Kung Pao chicken."
"No! sweet and sour tenderloin is good!"
The two men argued......
