Some people are born to be kings, and some people are born to be cowards, but the laws of the times will never change.

……

In the middle of summer in July, the sun is blazing, and the blue sky seems to be covered with glass, and there is not a trace of clouds. In the yard, the fir trees were listless, standing there lazily, the cement floor was hot, and the soil in the ground was smoking.

Liu Qingshan opened his eyes in a daze, and the vest and the mat under him had long been soaked with sweat. He got up lazily, picked up the enamel tea jar on the table, tilted his head and poured it in, and before he had time to catch his breath, he poured a second cup.

Looking at the enamel teapot printed in his hand, Liu Qingshan was full of thoughts. This year is the year of poverty alleviation in QS County, and Liu Qingshan, as the deputy commander, has a very heavy burden on his body, and in the past month, Liu Qingshan has been eating, drinking, and sleeping almost all in the office.

Walking around the room, he couldn't remember what it was. In his memory, he had never set foot in this small farm yard in his life. Although Liu Qingshan grew up in the countryside since he was a child, his living conditions have improved, and he recently took his old mother to a public rental house in QS County, and his hometown has not been back for a long time.

After thinking about it, Liu Qingshan put on his coat and prepared to go back to the office. In the past few days, the commander has been supervising the progress of poverty alleviation in the countryside, and if he is not in charge of this headquarters, it will be a mess.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Qingshan was attracted by the wall calendar behind the door panel, and couldn't help frowning slightly, 2007? After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that this farmhouse courtyard has not been inhabited for more than ten years, and he doesn't know how he came to this place, and he has no impression at all.

Just as Liu Qingshan was about to push the door out, he seemed to think of something, and rushed to the mirror placed on the old-fashioned bedside table in three steps and two steps, with a surprised look on his face.

The white hair on his sideburns was gone, and the wrinkles on his face were gone, and Liu Qingshan seemed to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden.

Since joining the work, Liu Qingshan has not wasted a day of time. He first worked in the Spiritual Civilization Office of the Propaganda Department of the QS County Party Committee, and with his own efforts and shrewd mind, it took him three years to be promoted to a deputy section-level cadre, which is unimaginable for ordinary people. It took another six years to become a full-level cadre, and he only felt that time had passed, and ten years were just a blink of an eye.

In the mouths of cadres, workers and ordinary people in QS County, Liu Qingshan is a capable person, a "smart person" and a "person who understands" who really does practical things for the people.

He sat on the rattan chair and lit a cigarette, Liu Qingshan, a "smart man", seemed to understand everything at this time, he was reborn, like a bridge in a novel and a TV series, back to ten years ago, although all this seems so absurd, but the green face and faded oil belly seem to prove that this is the truth.

Liu Qingshan's heart is a little bitter, he doesn't want such an absurd thing to happen to him, he is not the protagonist of the novel, let alone the hero of the TV series, he just wants to be his deputy commander, gnaw the "hard bone" of poverty alleviation for QS County, and do his best.

But doesn't fate just like to joke with people? In the dark, from the moment he woke up on this hard bed, he was destined to start all over again in Liu Qingshan's life.

In a trance, there was a rapid knock on the door in Liu Qingshan's ears, and he fell asleep unconsciously because he was thinking too much about things just now. Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Qingshan got up from the bed with a grunt, walked quickly to the door, opened the wooden door, and saw a familiar old friend.

"Liu Qingshan, why did you come here?" Li Boming had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, panting heavily, "Now the entire organization department is looking for you, you will go to Qingyang Township tomorrow, and the formalities have not been completed yet." ”

Li Boming was a good friend of Liu Qingshan when he was in college, and the two were admitted to the civil service of QS County together.

However, Liu Qingshan did not show his inner thoughts on his face, more than ten years of work experience had already made him much more "old and spicy", "You mean that I am going to be transferred to Qingyang Township?"

Li Boming patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder, "But isn't it? Your kid is really smooth sailing now, just yesterday, the county party committee held a standing committee to study, and you were immediately transferred to Qingyang Township to be the deputy head of the township." ”

Li Boming sat on the hard bed board, crossed Erlang's legs, sighed and said: "But it's good for you, you are missing, and you can leave your post for two days without leave." ”

Liu Qingshan smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I don't know what's going on, I'm lying here when I wake up, and I don't know what kind of place this is?"

"This is the farmhouse where we used to come to barbecue a lot. Li Bo understood Liu Qingshan, and said angrily, "Let's go, don't be stunned, if you don't go back, I'm afraid your position as the township chief will be gone." ”

As he spoke, Li Boming dragged Liu Qingshan out of the farmhouse courtyard. After getting in the car, Liu Qingshan's eyes were still projected on the mottled wall of the farmhouse courtyard, and he was trying to recall the previous things, but in his memory, there had never been this farmhouse courtyard.

Along the way, the two of them had nothing to say, Liu Qingshan was still thinking about what happened today, he felt that his head was running out of money, no matter what angle he thought about, he couldn't think of a suitable answer, only the reason for crossing sounded so logical.

Li Boming looked at Liu Qingshan's expression from the rearview mirror, and finally couldn't help but say: "I said Qingshan, you weren't like this when you were in college, when did you become so sad, isn't it just a loss of love? As the saying goes, a woman is like ......"

"Wait..."Liu Qingshan interrupted Li Boming's words, "You said I fell out of love?"

More than ten years ago, Liu Qingshan did break up with his childhood sweetheart, but at that time he was still an ordinary clerk. And so on, that is to say, except for the fact that he was transferred to Qingyang Township as the deputy head of the township, everything else should be consistent with history.

"Forget it, I won't poke your scars, I think you're really dazed by the breakup now, and you're stupid to even speak. Li Boming shook his head helplessly and continued to drive.

Looking at the fleeting trees and houses outside the window, the corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth hooked up a smile that was not easy to be noticed, and the sadness in his heart before also lingered, the horn of the times had just sounded, and his story script seemed to have just begun to be written.
