"Do you know? Hong Xiaoyong was recommended, and I heard that he was still studying architecture at Wuhan Institute of Technology. Seeing that Cen Xinrui didn't squeak for a while, Que Rendong didn't know what to do. But because he couldn't hold it back, he still mentioned something that he thought he should tell his friend.

"Is it?" Hearing the news delivered by Que Rendong, Cen Xinrui first felt incredible, and then felt unacceptable: Why should he go to the countryside to recruit workers, others repair the earth, and he goes to college, not to mention whether he is a worker, peasant or soldier, whether his performance is excellent or not, even if he recites social practice in the Water Conservancy Bureau, it is less than two years. He has a share in all the benefits, what do the educated youths who call them go to the countryside think?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Are you exactly what the news is?"

"No, my cousin-in-law is in the county education bureau and is involved in the enrollment work. ”

"It would be unfair to do that. Hearing Que Rendong say this, Cen Xinrui was very dissatisfied. Originally, it was unfair for Sun Shixin to forcibly allocate the quota of educated youths in the countryside to the educated youths who returned to his hometown in order to push his niece out, but Hong Xiaoyong still had to take advantage of everything, isn't this too much? The whole world is doing like these people, isn't it messed up?

"There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you. Seeing that he didn't squeak for a long time, Que Rendong said tentatively.

"Oh, you say. Cen Xinrui heard the sound and came back to his senses.

"This time I went to school, and the commune recommended me. ”

"That's a good thing. Hearing this, Cen Xinrui was very happy for his friend, but he quickly found something in the other party's eyes, "You don't seem to be very happy." ”

"You don't know, I was not assigned to a university, but a technical secondary school, a traffic school in the province. ”

"That's okay, you can always learn something systematic," Cen Xinrui comforted his friend. He realized that in the hearts of his friends, others went to college, but he could only study secondary school, which was inevitably a little unbalanced, so he comforted: "At least, you left Baling Lake, and you went to study, and your destination was no worse than those classmates who had left before." ”

"That's what you're saying. Que Rendong agreed, but then said: "Do you know why such a good thing fell on my head?"

"Why?" Cen Xinrui was puzzled, thinking to himself that there were only a few educated youths left in the brigade, either he would leave or she would go? Not to mention that Que Rendong had always been willing to work hard, unlike Ma Ping, who was lazy and tricky.

"Alas-" Que Rendong sighed and said: "The secretary of the brigade branch said that this is a special place for 'children who can be educated well', and he estimated that you couldn't stand this kind of statement, so he gave it to me." After a pause, he added: "He also asked me to write in this name an experience of how to draw a line with the exploiting class family, saying that it must be this thing." ”

Hearing Que Rendong say this, Cen Xinrui was greatly surprised and a little angry: Isn't this an insult? According to this statement, these educated youths who are currently left in collective households are born with problems, and it is only because they are not so bad that they can still be educated well, so they have given them a way out.

But have some people ever thought about it, who are these young people worse than? Where are they bad? Those who are not among these people, how good are they and how good are they? Not to mention far away, let's just say that Hong Xiaoyong of Yang Qionghua's family is lazy at home, fights and brawls at school, fails exams, and performs badly, who is better and better than whom? He is the person who should be strictly disciplined. said that he was a good child who could be educated, and they all looked up to him!

Looking at the clearly annoyed expression on Cen Xinrui's face, Que Rendong didn't know what to do. To be honest, he still wants to go to this school, but he feels very uncomfortable in the name of asking himself to write about his experience, abuse himself, and bury his parents. According to Ma Ping, this is a "deed of sale", a "food that comes to you", and it is a top block.

"Oh, look at me," perhaps realizing that Que Rendong was looking forward to his opinion, and that this would largely determine his future fate, Cen Xinrui calmed down. He suddenly remembered a sentence that he seemed to have seen somewhere: "Moral anger, no matter how reasonable, science can never regard it as a basis, but only as a symbol", so he said to his friend very solemnly: "Rendong, what the secretary of the brigade said is indeed not good, but I think I still have to go to school." ”

"What do you mean—"

"For you and me, the most important thing now is to leave Baling Lake, since there is a rare opportunity in front of us, and it is such a great thing as studying, why not seize it?"

"Can you put up with the name of 'teachable children'?"

"It's really hard to bear, but if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, compared with the two, leaving the countryside to study in the provincial capital is more important than bearing a bad name. ”

"So, what will my parents think when they find out?"

"I believe that they can understand your last resort, and you must also believe that they love you and can accept your last resort. ”

Hearing him say this, Que Rendong felt that what he said was reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded.

"It's really uncomfortable, just think about Han Xin in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, just like him, he suffered a crotch humiliation. ”

At this moment, Que Rendong felt that he should no longer suffer from gains and losses.

At this moment, the bell rang for the end of the fourth period.

"Let's go, let's eat. After that, hurry up and hand over the registration form to the brigade. Hearing the bell ringing, Cen Xinrui simply cleaned up the books and scratch paper on the desk, and took out a stack of meal coupons from the desk drawer.

While he was doing this, there was a knock on the door. Que Rendong looked at Cen Xinrui, and when he saw that he motioned for him to open the door, he walked over and opened the hidden door. As the door opened, a young woman with a rice bowl and spoon in her hand stood in front of him.

"Visitor?" Looking at Que Rendong, who was strong and honest, the other party was a little surprised.

"Ah, it's a classmate. Cen Xinrui replied.

"Sorry to bother you. The other man seemed embarrassed to laugh.

"Is there something wrong?" Seeing that the other party had no intention of walking away, Cen Xinrui asked.

"No, it's just by the way-oh, I heard Secretary Zhu just now say that the data of the gable arch circle of the auditorium is still calculated by you in the end, it's really good!"

"There is nothing that many teachers in the Mathematics and Science group can do. Cen Xinrui said indifferently.

"I can't do it!" Zou Ying continued to express her admiration, but seeing that Cen Xinrui didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, she found a step by herself: "Oh, you talk, I won't bother you." With that, he turned and walked away. Just before leaving, he still glanced back at Cen Xinrui.

"She's—" Looking at her graceful figure, Que Rendong asked.

"The foreign language teacher who came to the school before me was called Zou Ying. Cen Xinrui found a pair of cutlery, poured out the boiling water in the thermos and washed it, walked out of the dormitory with Que Rendong, and when the door was locked, he added: "Workers, peasants and soldiers of Wuhan University." ”

"Wuhan University, that's a famous school, how did you get assigned to a rural middle school?" Que Rendong couldn't believe it.

"Who knows?" Cen Xinrui said.

"What did she just say about the gable of the Great Hall?" Que Rendong thought of another question.

"Oh, our school wants to build an auditorium, but the location of the gable was originally a pond, full of mud, and it was very deep, and the master of the construction team was a little embarrassed. After looking at it, I came up with an idea: the footing should be built into several arch circles with moderate spans, and the walls should be built on top of the arch circles. ”

"It's a good idea, it avoids the mud and saves materials. Que Rendong praised, and then said with admiration: "Xinrui, I will obey you for this, you can use it if you learn it, even if it is self-taught knowledge." ”

"What's this, it's the same for you. Cen Xinrui said lightly.

"I can't. Que Rendong disagreed. At this moment, he noticed that not far ahead, the female teacher who came just now was still looking behind him from time to time while walking, so he asked, "Xinrui, is that female teacher a little interesting to you?"

"Is it possible?" Glancing in the direction of Que Rendongzuinu, Cen Xinrui smiled, "It's not that she doesn't know our identity." ”

"Are there any exceptions?" Looking at Zou Ying's back, Que Rendong's eyes never left. In his opinion, this young governess could be regarded as a beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Exceptions, maybe," Cen Xinrui said lightly, "It's just that she can't do this, and I can't." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Que Rendong's eyes were still looking at the woman.

"Although we are both teaching, how can she look down on me as a private student? If so, why would she go to university? Don't you know, I heard that she is reluctant to teach at Balinghu Middle School. Following Que Rendong's gaze, Cen Xinrui looked at her and said, "As for me, to be honest, I didn't plan for a day to 'insist on the great victory of the countryside' as required above." In this case, she will not fall in love and start a family in the countryside, even if the other party is a public teacher like her. After a pause, he added: "If you really want to do that, this life will be over." ”

said the same, Que Rendong agreed with his opinion.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, it's important to fill your stomach. Looking at the faculty cafeteria, Cen Xinrui handed the spoon to Que Rendong, took out the rice bowl that was originally placed there from the cupboard, and then walked to the window where he was cooking.
