Chapter 203: Take advantage of it when it's hard to turn your face when you're happy

(The assignment of college graduates was shelved that year, and the personnel bureau pulled the relationship in front of the door;

Hesitant and confused, boarding for months to solve problems. Send carbon in the snow and vow,

He doubled his strength day by day. Unexpectedly, the child is a mountain wolf, and it will be rampant in one day. ）

"Hey, the two police chiefs, it's not a blow, just Lu Jiantang, the deputy director of a small finance bureau, who is my opponent?" Knowing that the other party was sneering, Zhou Zhengyuan still said proudly. "Ha, then Lu Jiantang is stupid and wants to calculate me. He was full of thoughts that after he had made it through for a while, he would take the evidence that I had tricked him into taking the bait and accuse me of clearing himself, but he still jumped into the trap I had devised for it. ”

"Zhou Zhengyuan, don't be too arrogant!" Lu Wenheng, who was hiding in the inner room, couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and rushed out and slapped the table and shouted angrily. "Decent people should only be temporary, but once they recognize your ugly face and intrigues, they will ruthlessly expose you. ”

"Oh, nephew Wen Hengxian, why is your baby here?" Zhou Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a grin. "You have to be cool-headed, keep your eyes open, don't be fooled, and do stupid things that make 'the enemy happy' and 'the wall falls down and everyone pushes it'! Uncle Zhou is kind to you. If it weren't for the authoritative influence of Uncle Zhou, the county magistrate, and the mobilization and mediation of all parties, how could your status as a civil servant be approved quickly? ”

"Hmph, hey, Zhou Zhengyuan, stop acting! Wen Heng sneered from his nose and debunked it on the spot. "Who is your virtuous nephew? Who are you, Uncle Zhou? Who knows which ditch of mud you are? Killing my father made our family so miserable; and I have already inquired clearly, and it was you who did it when I withheld my civil service admission notice and did not allow it to be issued. Let me ask you, where is the righteousness in doing all this, and where is the grace?"

"Oh, I'm sorry! Zhou Zhengyuan, let your mother's stinky fart! Who is 'right and wrong and revenge'? Who is 'healed scars and forget the pain'? Hmph, it's pure and crisp is full of nonsense!" Sister-in-law Lu, who couldn't help it, immediately rushed out of the inner room and shouted angrily. "When you graduated from college, you came to Jinshui, you couldn't go to work for a few months, and you didn't have a fixed place to live, it was Lu Jiantang, who was only my boyfriend back then, who sympathized with you, pulled you to our house, and solved your room and board; before leaving my house before going to work, you also swore that 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and one day you will be mixed, and you will never forget that it was not a relative but a family of classmates who was better than a relative'------ who took me in in the first difficulty."

With the narration of Sister-in-law Lu, not only in front of the person concerned, Zhou Zhengyuan, but also in front of everyone present, reproduced the life scene of Lu Jiantang and Zhou Zhengyuan, after graduating from college and returning to Jinshui, they had no job, no fixed residence, and were displaced------

This is the summer of that year, which is a critical period for the majority of fresh college graduates to be assigned employment. One morning, the county personnel bureau located in Beiguan, Jinshui County, was crowded with male and female students. When they first entered the gate of the organ, everyone had smiles on their faces and were full of hope, but when they just walked out, they all had a bitter face and were very sad. You don't have to ask to know that it is still like many of its kind before: a few words are sent away again. In view of the fact that the county's agriculture has been affected by the spring drought and autumn floods, the output has been reduced, the economy is sluggish, and it is very difficult to pay the salaries of the existing personnel in various units, so they are reluctant to accept new personnel.

Among these groups of students who enter with hope but come out disappointed are the two main characters mentioned earlier in this book: Zhou Zhengyuan and Lu Jiantang. Of course, they didn't know each other at that time. At this moment, when Lu Jiantang, a thin and elegant young man wearing a pair of myopic glasses, also came out of the gate of the Personnel Bureau unhappily, he saw a middle-sized boy sitting on the stone steps on the side of the door at a glance, and his image and temperament showed shrewdness, and he was secretly weeping there. Because of the sympathy for the same fate, Lu Jiantang took the initiative to walk over with concern.

"This classmate, a manly man, should be broad-minded and pretend to be able to do things. Lu Jiantang squatted down and comforted him with concern. "Hey, isn't it that we can't arrange a job for the time being, and it's not like we were unemployed after graduating before liberation; after all, we are still full of hope? But why do we cry and cry and sigh? Let those girls laugh at us when they see it. ”

"Hi, you classmate, I thank you for your kindness. But you don't feel a backache when you sit, you don't know the truth. The grieving student still sat down and hung his head. "You are probably a native of this Chengguan, your family has a place to live, your parents have an income, and you don't have to worry about food and housing, right? If you are in the same situation as I am now, you are also a poor rural area dozens of miles away from the county seat, and your parents and family are still living on agriculture, and you are tired of breaking your waist tendons to provide for a college student; you look forward to the moon and the stars, and finally hope that when he graduates from college, it will be time to go to work and receive a salary to support his family; but a few perfunctory words will send you away, but the work is still far away.

"Alas, I am in a dilemma now: if I continue to live in the county seat and wait for the assignment notice, I will not hide it from your classmates: I am now shy in my pocket; I used to live in a cheap hotel when I first came, and when the noon time arrives today, if I don't renew the payment and go through the procedures, I will go out. But if I go back like this now, I don't have a job arranged, my parents and family are disappointed and depressed, don't say anything, don't live in the county seat, etc., and often inquire frequently, maybe the good job has already been robbed by others, and you will go to a poor unit that still can't pay your salary, and work for a year in vain. You say that I am facing this big problem now, who can I not worry about?"

After listening to the other party's description of his current situation and the problems he is facing, Lu Jiantang did not reply for a long time, but his chest churned like waves: Yes, the situation and problems faced by the other party will also be anxious. Let's just say that although he is in a similar situation, they are both rural people, their parents have no fixed income, and the whole family has been living from agriculture for several generations, but there is no problem he has encountered at present. At least at the moment, because the room and board are at his girlfriend Yu Yongfang's house, he does not have the dilemma of not being able to leave the city, not being able to stay, and being in a dilemma; However, since he was a child, he was educated by his parents and out of his nature of "sympathizing with the weak and helping each other," should he lend a helping hand and help this classmate tide over the current difficulties? But now he is living in the house of his quasi-father-in-law, and in a nutshell, he is also "under the fence of sending people", so how can he make the decision? It was also when Lu Jiantang was raising the flag uncertainly, but a handsome and free figure floated in at the right time------

"Ah Tang, my parents and sister-in-law sent me to take a look, you came to the Personnel Bureau today to contact the graduation assignment, how is it going, and is there any new progress?" Sure enough, the person who came was Yu Yongfang, who was missing, and when he came to him, he took his hand affectionately and asked with concern, and then explained: "But my parents, brother and sister-in-law said again, although the whole family is like you, they are looking forward to your early morning and going to work in time; Therefore, let me advise you, if the solution has not been implemented in a short time, do not worry; you do not have nowhere to go, just stay at home with peace of mind, and wait patiently to listen to the good news. ”

"Ah Fang, as I analyzed before I came today, the matter of assignment has been postponed again. Lu Jiantang said with a deliberate sigh. "Alas, yesterday pushed today, today pushes clearly, what can I do if this is delayed?"

"Hey, look at you, why are you so forgetful! Didn't I just say everything? Even if you report to work later, your family and I won't put any pressure on you!" Yongfang comforted generously. "You can rest in peace in my house—yes, it's the same as your quasi-in-law's house. Then he pulled Zhu Jiantang's arm and urged: "Then let's go." If you don't have any hope today, why do you continue to poke here? Let's go, you can go to the mall with me for a while, and I will buy you a set of clothes by the way. ”

"Ah, no. There's still something to do------ "Jiantang said as he broke free from his girlfriend's arm. "Haven't you finished yet?" the girlfriend asked, but jokingly: "Could it be that I met a female classmate again at the reporting place of the Personnel Bureau?"

"Ah Fang, you can really pinch and calculate. I did run into my classmate again, but unfortunately he was not a woman but a man. Jiantang immediately pointed to the small-eyed boy who was still squatting on the stone steps outside the gate. "No, that's him. ”

"Since you're a classmate, I should be familiar with it before?" When the two of them came to the squatting boy, Yongfang recognized it carefully, but questioned it. "But why haven't I seen him, and I don't remember him?"

"He is a new friend I have just met when I reported to the Personnel Bureau today. Lu Jiantang said truthfully to his fiancée. But because of the common fate and suffering, although they just met, they talked very speculatively. ”

"Hey, look at me as a sloppy person, we talked for a long time, but we forgot to introduce ourselves. Come, classmates, let's get acquainted again. Lu Jiantang took the initiative to step forward, clasped the hand of his new friend and introduced himself. "Lv Jiantang, the third and sixth class of the XX Department of Economics of the Provincial Comprehensive University. ”

"Oh, that's a coincidence! I'm also from the 08th Provincial Comprehensive University? My name is Zhou Zhengyuan. Zhou Zhengyuan, a new classmate, also said excitedly, and then asked: "But we are not only fellow villagers, but also graduated from the same school and the same university; I know all the students who graduated from high school four years ago and were recruited by the Provincial Comprehensive University at the same time; why do we ------ together?"

"It's not surprising. Although my hometown is also in the rural area of Jinshui, I studied in high school at my uncle's house in Nanxi County. Lu Jiantang said truthfully. "Naturally, I also applied for the provincial comprehensive university in Nanxi that year. ”
