Chapter 114: Thoughts on the Way Home
Chapter 114: On the way home, I had a lot of thoughts
("Missing" for more than a month, leaving the post and leaving the group, suffering a lot; thinking of relatives and friends and worrying about things is irrepressible;
Finally set foot on the way home, and what was it that greeted him in his hometown? Zhong Jingliang couldn't help but think about it. At five or six o'clock in the morning the next day. A fast train from the capital to the south is speeding at full speed on the vast Jizhong Plain.
In a sleeper car, Xie Feng, the chief of the reconnaissance section, sat opposite Zhong Jingliang. And Xie Yuan sat next to Zhong Jingliang. With the jolting of the train, most of the passengers were drowsy. Xie Feng leaned on the bedside quilt and read a book, but Xie Yuan was half-leaning on Zhong Jingliang, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep. Although Zhong Jingliang looked out the window, on the surface it seemed that he was admiring the scenery outside the window, in fact, his heart had already flown to his hometown thousands of miles away - the city and countryside of Jinshui County. But what emerges in front of me is the fragment of the past 10 years of working and living in Jinshui, especially with people (relatives, lovers and friends; and people who are emotionally and politically opposed) - From nearly 10 years ago, he was transferred back to the county from a unit in the provincial capital, worked as a clerk in the Letters and Visits Section of the Education Bureau, encountered his old rival Fang Shiyuan, and fought with him for a few rounds, until he was valued by Fei Cong, the former secretary of the county party committee of the current municipal party committee, because of his achievements in poverty alleviation in the countryside, he was promoted to the deputy director of the county party committee office, and led a team to Taiping Town to set up a county poverty alleviation workstation. Maybe that's from that time, right? The fate of his life began to take a big turn; especially after meeting another important nobleman in this life, Gao Jingyi, the female deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, at the poverty alleviation station, it can be said that he was the beginning of his own success; because after only five years of being her secretary and lover, he ascended to the sky and became the youngest county party secretary in his hometown of Jinshui County, while many of his leaders and masters in the past have now become his subordinates; not to mention those political opponents or rivals in love—— Of course, his path forward is by no means smooth, for example, he has encountered a catastrophe at the moment - but he has always kept in mind two ancient poems: since ancient times, heroes have suffered many hardships, and the sons of young men are young and great. Then, after a series of disasters and accidents, and after being "missing" for more than a month, he was "escorted" to his hometown and work unit again as a person who still has amnesia; out of strategy, he still has to play the role of a "sequelae of brain injury-amnesia patient" to deal with the opposite side and his comrades-in-arms, and to investigate the ideological trends of various people on the spot. Of course, there are two letters that have been written in advance, respectively to her good partner Hao Shuyun, and the plan she forwarded to the secretary of the municipal party committee Fei Cong, at least to protect herself at the beginning, and prove her innocence later, and more importantly, because she knows it in her heart, she can try her best to prevent Zhou Dingyuan and others from rushing to seize power.
However, if you pretend to not even know who you are, let alone remember anyone or anything in the past? It is really difficult to play the role of a fool! Especially when you get along with several old partners with deep feelings: Ye Lan, Su Yun, Lian Lian, Xin Cheng, Hou Ju, Yu Liang and Gong Li, etc., how can you always pretend that you don't know and remember them; how difficult it will be to do and endure it? He has never acted in his life, and he will not fake, in case someone or place accidentally reveals that he is pretending, and is publicized by the other party; isn't it like his sudden "disappearance" more than a month ago, and before today, he fell from the sky again, overnight, and became the number one news in Jinshui and even H City? If he shows his true face in front of several of his good partners, perhaps out of understanding, he may be able to cover up the past; if he is exposed to Zhou Zhengyuan and his opponents? Hmph, then simply face him bluntly:" The reason why I continue to pretend to have amnesia after my amnesia has recovered today is that I want to investigate how attractive the power of the county party committee secretary is to you? Why do you spare no effort and do everything possible to seize it?
Thinking about this, Zhong Jingliang didn't have any worries. Once you relax psychologically, drowsiness can strike at any time. Originally, he wanted to pull the quilt and take a nap, but suddenly his body was very heavy, and when he turned his face, it turned out to be Miss Xie Yuan's entire body, but it was all pressed on him, which made him completely sleepy. But he couldn't help but recall that after a week of active treatment, when his memory finally recovered that day, he should have gone through the discharge procedures and officially left the hospital; but he put himself in a dilemma for a while: Nayin was too far away from home, and he also planned to continue to pretend to be "amnesia" and let the Xie brothers and sisters send him back; if he was discharged from the hospital, he would naturally have nowhere to go; the second elder of the Xie family and his brothers and sisters were warmly invited to live in their house; but thinking of himself as a big man, it was always inconvenient to live in other people's homes. So, in the midst of hesitation, I stayed in the hospital ward for one more night.
It was to stay there for one more night, and if it wasn't for my own grasp, I almost made a mistake. That night, the two old men of the Xie family were going to accompany them in the hospital, but the eldest daughter-in-law said, "It just so happens that I have a little time tonight, so let me accompany my sister to accompany Brother Zhong"; Jing Liang originally thanked him again and again, saying, "I have now recovered my memory, and I am a normal person, so I no longer need someone to accompany me"; but the eldest daughter-in-law and Ayuan still insisted on accomplying me. Jing Liang had no choice but to be respectful, so he might as well obey his fate.
So, he first accompanied her aunt and sister-in-law, and gossiped with or without a ride, and then he gradually became sleepy, and fell asleep at some point—or was awakened only after feeling that his lower body was tickled. But when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but be taken aback: Under the faint ru-colored light, how could there be a figure of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family in the house? But there was a sudden increase in the quilt of his own bed; and she was still a young woman who was only wearing a trouser and a corset, and her body was naked! At this moment, he was immediately so frightened that he fell asleep at all: Isn't this the eldest lady of the Xie family? She could only sleep on the opposite bed with the bed? How could she sleep on the same bed with me? So, he understood everything: in a special environment, two lonely men and widows who get along day and night naturally have a relationship. In the past, when we were still together, I still didn't feel deeply, but now I am about to separate from each other, and when I think of the pain of parting, it is difficult to suppress it, and I can't help but show it. Why don't you yourself? It's just that as a person who has come before, you can have self-control.
Therefore, he warned himself repeatedly in his heart: No, no, no, no matter how strong his desire is, he must try his best to refrain from it. Because the family is still a daughter who has not yet left the cabinet, the pearl of the two elders of the Xie family, as the old saying goes, 'a gentleman cannot take away the love of others'. 'The friendship of gentlemen is as pure as water'. Originally, the whole family was enthusiastic, and they took themselves into the capital for the purpose of curing their illness, and they must not do anything out of the ordinary that would take revenge. Although she said that the other party took the initiative to do this, she was young after all, and she was simply naïve and impulsive, and she must not deceive others by her own plans.
Thinking about this, Zhong Jingliang immediately wanted to try his best to get rid of the other party's embrace, but after moving a few times, it didn't work.
"Brother Zheng, don't move! Let me sleep with you in my arms like this, it's so simple that it's too comfortable. Listening to the tone, Xiao Ni was not asleep, but perhaps she was dreaming in her sleep. "Do you know the way, since you saved me from the flood in H Town, so that I was deeply moved, and I fell in love with you deeply. It's just that before you fell into a coma and then lost your memory, you didn't give me a chance to express your love, but now you can recover your memory, but you have to fly away from me. As the saying goes, 'If you pass through this village, you won't have this shop'; when I see the love in my hand, how can I let it be lost in vain? Tomorrow morning, you will go to your hometown, then let us be a dewy couple tonight. Even if we never see each other tomorrow, tonight's skin-to-skin blind date will be remembered forever-"
As she spoke, Xiao Nizi was already unable to restrain herself, and reached out to help untie Jingliang's underwear, so panicked that Zhong Jingliang immediately sat up suddenly. Thoughts immediately engaged in a fierce struggle: in order to make the other party let go immediately and no longer entangled, it is necessary to pretend to be ruthless. So, without hesitation or mercy, he woke up the other party with three pushes and two drags, and immediately gave the other party a cold and ruthless face.
"Xie Yuan, you are a little yellow-haired girl, I advise you not to be sentimental. Zhong Jingliang sneered with a straight face. "Don't look at you as an innocent female college student who has not left the cabinet, and your family lives in the capital. After all, however, I am a dignified secretary of the county party committee, and I am the youngest among the cadres at the same level in the province. The women who have been chasing me in line for many years are either master's or doctoral students, and how can they care that you are a little graduate student? I have saved you and your association out of conscience and sympathy, and don't mistake friendship for zuo-ai, although the difference is one word, but the essence is very different——"
Originally, the love was burning strongly, but unexpectedly, she was splashed cold by the other party's ruthless cold words - for a while, the little girl suddenly felt bored, and her hot face was pasted with someone's cold fart; I really wanted to get into it immediately; as soon as I got angry, I immediately jumped up from the quilt, picked up my coat and was about to go out; I was so panicked that Jing Liang hurriedly hugged it from behind; I put it flat on the opposite bed and covered it with the quilt. But he has always been arrogant, whether at home or school in the past, he was wronged or ridiculed, so although he was warmly hugged back into the quilt by the other party, he still cried vigorously - only scared Zhong Jingliang had to coax him vigorously.
"Ayuan, my good sister, I deliberately provoked you with cold words just now, otherwise you will do stupid things with a hot brain. Zhong Jingliang patiently enlightened. "Actually, you are the most talented and ambitious girl I have ever met; don't you dream of being a famous reporter and cheering for the justice of the world? How can you easily ruin your future with the slightest impulse?
Could it be that the little girl was encouraged by the "name"? Or was she naturally calm down after being impulsive? Anyway, Xie Yuan was no longer "humble" after being persuaded, and she actually slept until dawn -- after the train arrived at the station, a flute sounded.
"Ah, I finally arrived at the border of my hometown Plains Province!" Zhong Jingliang thought excitedly in his heart. (3131 words in this chapter)
