Chapter 4: When I Grow Up, I'll Be Your ---7
Time into January 2000, the school theatrical performance has passed four or five days, Zhang Xinzhou convened a meeting of some trade union representatives of the school, he shared the inspiration of the theatrical performance to dozens of teachers attending the meeting, and thus developed some of his own ideas, most of them are to benefit teachers, mobilize a series of rules and regulations for teachers, he talked about the intention to give Li Yuedi some ideas to become a formal teacher, all the teachers attending the meeting recognized the principal's initiative.
When everyone was discussing how to report the matter of becoming a regular to the Personnel Department of the Education Bureau, Zhang Xinzhou's old classmate Mingyue Township Mayor He Lishu called, he said that Wang Ting and Li Yuedi would be transferred to work at the Township Cultural Station, Zhang Xinzhou explained in many ways, saying that the school is now in short supply of music teachers and cannot be adjusted, not to mention that Li Yuedi is a temporary substitute teacher and cannot be transferred at all, and the township mayor finally lost his temper and said:
"Okay, you Zhang Xinzhou, you will start a small hill when you become a principal, I want to ask you, where are you the principal, you are the principal of my township middle school, you dare not listen to me, transfer one or two teachers to you, just like moving your sister-in-law, I am as annoyed as if I moved your sister-in-law, and I don't want to do it."
Zhang Xinzhou defended: "Township chief, you don't get so annoyed when you move my sister-in-law, I have a radish and a pit here, you pull out two, it's two pits, what do you tell me to fill in."
Township Chief: "Don't give me nonsense, you don't know when I don't know, three music teachers only came back two days ago, you don't have a place to place, you bring me this set today".
Zhang Xinzhou: "I really died unjustly, no matter how many people there are, I can't use them, what can I do, or I will give you all three."
Township Chief: "What do I want you to do if you can't use it, you don't pick up fat for me...... I said Xinzhou, what's wrong with you supporting me, old classmate, I can't lose you, I'll allocate you an extra 100,000 yuan a year."
Zhang Xinzhou: "I said buddy, to be honest, don't look at the relationship between the two of us, don't say 100,000 yuan, I won't give you 120,000 yuan, and that Li Yuedi hasn't been turned into a regular, you insist on it, I gave it, you have to find a way to turn it positive."
Township Chief: "Xinzhou, don't you just want money, Lao Tzu doesn't owe you an account, a fixed price, Lao Tzu allocates an extra 125,000 yuan to the school every year, you shouldn't have said it now, you said that Li Yuedi didn't turn positive, you have a way to turn, don't I have it, old thing, rest assured, Lao Tzu does what he says."
Everyone watched the principal Zhang Xinzhou call his old classmate and the head of the township, knowing that Li Yuedi and Wang Ting were going to be transferred away by the township government, there was really no way at all, Zhang Xinzhou was okay, he transferred two of them, and the school got 125,000 yuan in compensation. Under the eaves of people, I have to bow my head, the strong dragon can't suppress the snake, admit it, but Li Yuedi may no longer be able to teach her children, which is a pity, fortunately, the township government cultural station is not far from the school, and it is not impossible to invite them back on Saturday and Sunday, Li Yuedi did not turn positive, transferred to the township cultural station, it is easier to turn positive, it is also a good thing for Li Yuedi, don't stop it, let's go, it's easy to say, if you really want to go, you still really can't be reluctant.
On the one hand, the two girls are good-looking, and their figures are very good, and secondly, these two girls also sing well, are cultured, and are not rustic. It's not that the township chief wants to take advantage of the two girls, the key is that there have been more and more foreign affairs activities over the years, in some foreign affairs activities that can win benefits for the township, there are few decent girls to attend, this success rate is much smaller, a few little girls babbling nonsense, this thing is done, it seems that a group of people in the activity are some perverts, in fact, otherwise, no one in the activity will move the girl with more feet and hands, the key is that everyone has a love for beauty, and there can be an eye-catching girl dangling around, that feeling, how fucking comfortable, plus these two girls can sing a few words, how good the atmosphere isWhat else can't be done?
But the township can't be so blatant to raise two full-time public relations personnel, and they must be given a reasonable job, so Wang Ting was assigned to the radio station under the township cultural station as an announcer, and Li Yuedi was arranged in the library under the township cultural station.
Li Yuedi was inexplicably transferred to the township cultural station, and she couldn't say half a "no". To say that this township cultural station, in fact, is a township activity center for the elderly, the cultural station to organize several theatrical performances a year, are the cultural station staff rehearsed programs, Yue Di every Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoon from four to five o'clock, to the rehearsal site to rehearse the program, the rest of the time is in the library with a group of seventy or eighty-year-old people to read books and newspapers, sometimes to the evening to the reception to sing a song or two.
Singing at a cocktail party, in Li Yuedi's opinion, is pure desecration of music. A large group of men and women, all of them were full of fat and drunk, as long as they did not die on the table. The wine will continue to drink, a table of people push the cup to change the lamp, staggered, the wine after three rounds, the scene is more enthusiastic, the original not very familiar people also began to hook shoulders and call brothers, under the stimulation of alcohol, the decibel of everyone's speech has inadvertently doubled, pointing to the country, commenting on the past and the present, thinking about the Jin Ge Iron Horse, Wu Hook saw it, Lang Gan snapped, Clinton, and finally contacted the unit. What's a ball, who's who's my brother, a matter of words, it's wrapped up in me.
The conversation at the wine table is strong, and the wine is happy. The more later, the more I can't listen to it, the drunk person can repeat a sentence eight times, his thinking is confused, his speech is slurred, he doesn't know what he wants to express, the wine really can't be drunk, at this critical time, someone proposed to ask Li Yuedi and Wang Ting, who are sitting on pins and needles, to sing a few songs, just sing it, but how can anyone listen to it, just squint at the body, keep tasting the beauty in front of him, and bet loudly regardless of the importance:" You see how sexy this girl looks, how much that feeling, you look at the face, you look at this figure, she must still be a girl, believe it or not" "Did you say yes? Brother, am I right?" "Brother, you go over to inspect the goods, do you dare"? "Get out, you want my brother to lose my job, Lao Tzu is a cadre, you have to do that, don't knock out your brother's job" "Go, go to inspect the goods, the rice bowl knocked to find my brother, what do you say, your brother, what kind of relationship do we have, in a word, brother, I will give you a flat position".
Hearing these comments, Yue Di wanted to rush up and slap him a few big mouths, where do you have any intention to sing, in front of these people, even if it is a sow's estrus screaming, it will also attract the applause of those people, and finally came to an end, everyone was reluctant to say goodbye at the door, hand in hand and cherished each other, and told me a thousand times: be careful on the road, make a call when you get home. The drunkest guy was not at ease with everyone, and asked one by one, "Are you okay?" The participants spoke highly of tonight's gathering and unanimously agreed that it was a united meeting, a victorious meeting, and a conference carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future, which was of epoch-making milestone significance. It was agreed that the event would be kept alive as a tradition, and that the battle would be repeated in three days.
Everyone felt very cool tonight, but Li Yuedi alone felt very disgusting, humiliating, and boring.
In addition to singing at the cocktail party, the work of the township cultural station is to stay in the library all day long and stay in the library with a few old people to read books and newspapers, and the township cultural station does not have the same music equipment as the school, especially the lack of piano, which makes Li Yuedi very nerve-wracking, and after not practicing for a while, she feels that her voice is rusty, and the cultural station is not far from the school, and it is only about ten minutes on foot. After Wang Ting was transferred, the head of the school's music preparation team fell to He Ping, Zhou Ling was not promoted to the head of the preparation team again, Li Yuedi wanted to go to He Ping to ask for a key to the instrument room. But I was very worried that He Ping would refuse directly, because he was no longer a teacher in the school, and He Ping also knew that Li Yuedi and Zhou Ling and Li Meimei had a very good relationship, not to mention that He Ping still had to associate with Li Meimei and Zhou Ling, how could he offend them because of Li Yuedi.
Li Yuedi stayed in the library seven or eight hours a day, as if she was in prison, bored, watching one or two old people in the library read books and newspapers, so she also read the newspaper herself, and read countless newspapers, and there was no difference in the content, either it was an advertisement, or it was to praise the activities of the leader. One day, he saw a cartoon in the newspaper, Hua Junwu's "Bull Milking", Yue Di thought it was very funny, so she also wanted to draw a few cartoons, but she didn't have any foundation in painting, the more she painted, the more ugly it became. I can't do it well, Yue Di feels very boring, read books, read novels, read romance novels, but when I think of the evening drinking party, I can't lift my spirits, where can I read any romance novels, the delicate emotional depiction of romance novels and the group of people who directly appreciate their body shape in real life are too strong, and the men in real life make her feel disgusted and humiliated when she thinks about it. The saying of sitting on the head of a cow and eating a monkey's head may be talking about this group of people who eat, drink and have fun!
Wang Ting's radio station is much busier than Li Yuedi's side, Wang Ting is a party member, after being transferred to the township to work, he seems to have found his position, and he is very active all day long, she may want to use this broadcaster's platform to take the official career, and the previous training with Yuedi has long been thrown out of the clouds, and Yuedi is not easy to find her.
Yue Di would love to buy a piano for herself, even if it's an electric piano. Calculate your savings, work in the school for half a year, work in this cultural station for a month, a total of seven months' salary, the rest of the less than 400 yuan, if you are in the Nancheng Dadi Song and Dance Hall, you can buy a piano in a month or two, but working here, to buy a piano, may be just a dream. She regretted a little that she had given all her savings to Sun Ce's bottomless pit, and it was not good to keep it for herself, really, she made herself so tight.
Sun Ce is really, it has been six or seven months since he arrived in the United States, and he has not heard from him at all, so what are he going to do, what are he busy with, and there is no news at all? Alas, find a time to go home, go home and ask Uncle Sun what is going on.
The early spring sun shines on people's faces a little hot, like a lover's kiss, which can always awaken people's sleeping feelings, and that kind of warmth and gentleness make people surge in spring. The grass is green, looking mischievously, squeezing eyebrows, whispering in the breeze; the green willows by the river, waving their long water sleeves, showing off their elegant posture, calling friends and attracting bees and butterflies; the large fields of rapeseed in the fields are so green that people are intoxicated, full of shy bones, looking forward to the happiness of butterflies.
Yue Di set out on her way home. For a month or two, she stayed in the library all day long, accompanying a group of old people to read books and newspapers, her brain was about to rust, and when she walked out of the boring library, the information of spring immediately poured into her whole body like a torrent. Walking on the field path that she was very familiar with, every step seemed so real, and she completely lost the feeling of weak hair floating when she went to work.
She looked around, and everything seemed to give her a fresh visual impact, wasn't this the ridge where she went home from high school and encountered a violent storm, wasn't that the cowshed in Liujiawan? The path on the slope was the place where my brother gave him his first kiss when he was a freshman in high school, and the mountain col witnessed my brother's ....... There is also there, where is the singing voice of the second brother Li Yuehe, separating Sun Ce from her own fanaticism, Yuedi reminisces all the way, chewing all the fragments of youthful memories, and the good times of middle school flashed in her mind like a movie. Brother, you are a dead man, spring is coming, you are there, you are helpless to give a letter, spring sorrow!
The hurt spring is not only reflected in Li Yuedi, but this personal feeling is really hesitant, Yuedi thought all the way, he remembered a poem by Li Qingzhao: Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the heavy sleep did not kill the residual wine, and the questionnaire curtain was tried, but the begonias were still the same, whether they knew or not, whether they should be green, fat, red and thin.
Go home, go home to see her father, she remembers that the teacher in high school said a very classic sentence, when people encounter difficulties, call their father and mother, indicating that their father and mother are their real haven. She remembered how her parents had paid so hard, but in the past few months, she has been a substitute teacher and rarely returns home, but two old guys come to school from time to time, bring a dozen eggs today, send a small piece of bacon tomorrow, a few sections of smoked sausages, send a handful of fresh vegetables the day after tomorrow, and sometimes take yourself to the clothing store to buy a new dress, the old guy knows that his salary is just a little bit, and sometimes he has to stuff himself into dozens of dollars. After being inexplicably transferred to the cultural station in the township, the old guys came to her for half a day every week, accompanying the old people who were taken care of by Yue Di to read books and newspapers. Although Yuedi spent a lot of time with her parents, she couldn't find a little sense of coming home, and he really wanted to lock himself in a small room and cry happily.
Go home and see your uncle, and ask the dead man what the hell is going on, spring is coming, spring is coming......
Li Yuedi returned home, her father and mother were a little overjoyed, Sun Jiachang found that Yuedi was back, and she couldn't take care of everything, and took her wife Du Yulan, and also followed in front and back, after Sun Jiachang asked about Yuedi's work, she asked about her son Sun Ce's correspondence with her, Yuedi told Sun Jiachang that he had never received Sun Ce's letter, Sun Jiachang was very disappointed, he told Yuedi that Sun Ce had two calls with them since he left home, once on the day he arrived in Nancheng, and once after arriving in the United States, he reported a safe life after reporting to school, and never spoke on the phone again, and sometimes Sun Jiachang also wanted to call Sun Ce, but I don't know how to make a phone call in the United States, not to mention that there is no phone number of Sun Ce in the United States, the old couple is in a hurry at home, and finally saw Li Yuedi coming home, I thought that Sun Ce and Yuedi should have a correspondence or phone call, but I didn't expect that the dead man was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no news at all, the old couple had an ominous feeling, Li Laohan comforted him in many ways, and the old couple was a little relieved.
Just when Sun Jiachang was very lost, the postman sent a registered letter from the United States, and Li Laohan's family of three also chased after him, and the letter was sent by Sun Ce, Sun Jiachang's sense of loss disappeared, and he handed the letter to Yue Di and asked Yue Di to read it to them. The letter said that after Sun Ce arrived in the United States, due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, he was sick for several months, and now he is better, in order not to worry his relatives at home, so he did not call and write letters, everything is fine in the United States, he has been tutoring the courses that fell out of illness some time ago, please don't worry about the family, the letter also mentions, let Yue Di hurry up to learn English, when the conditions are ripe, he will notify Yue Di to go to the United States, the letter also wrote down Sun Ce's phone number in the United States, but the time difference is twelve hours, and it is best to call after twelve o'clock in the evening Beijing time. Everyone's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
The five people discussed how Yue Di went to the United States, Sun Jiachang's attitude was very resolute, let Yue Di go to the United States, Li Lao Han and Mrs. Qian had completely different opinions, they didn't want Yue Di to go to the United States, the 2 to 2 debate was fruitless, everyone's opinion, let Yue Di make her own decisions. This is also a very contradictory choice, and Yue Di is very hesitant.
