Chapter 158: Thirty Years in Hedong, Thirty Years in Hexi
Just when Liang Qian was receiving the guests of Dao He and adapting to this huge contrast in his brain, several figures came in and attracted his attention. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Fifth brother, why are you here?"
Liang Qian was surprised, he didn't expect to see his cousin's family here who had not been in touch for a long time.
As a rural area in the eighties and nineties, there is still an obvious gap between urban and rural areas, and being able to be admitted to university means that people living outside the city at that time can raise their eyebrows from now on, which means that someone in the family can finally serve a golden rice bowl, and can eat and drink for a lifetime without worrying, and no longer have to work hard in the field like those who face the loess and face the sky for generations, but can let the neighbors go into the city with great envy to enjoy happiness.... Unlike college students, who are now completely flooded, at that time, college students were at least treated as a national cadre.
It is no exaggeration to say that this matter is placed in a small place like theirs, that is, it is necessary to bring the whole family to the ancestral hall to offer incense, pray, sincerely thank the ancestors for their blessings, and then invite all the relatives and friends they know to celebrate the great joy of drinking in the courtyard together, not to mention that it is two college students from the same family, which really makes people from all over the country jealous, and the ancestral tomb of the Liang family is smoking.
Therefore, at that time, he was often compared with his cousin Liang Jing. From the school he was admitted to, to the job assigned after graduation, and then to the later promotion and salary increase experience, etc., he was naturally much better than Liang Jing who was assigned to the government unit at the beginning. Ninety-eight years ago, due to the dilemma of the state's financial difficulties, many departments could not even afford to pay salaries, and they had to rely on the units themselves to find ways to use their powers to make money everywhere in order to survive. This is also the reason why most people generally have a bad impression of public officials during that period, and when it comes to the ZF department and the public security system, they are full of complaints.
On the other hand, on the side of enterprises, factories and mines, not only can high wages be paid on time, but also various invisible benefits can be delivered to employees.
So, every New Year's holiday, when he returned to his hometown with his wife and children and a large bag of things to be surrounded by relatives, it was always his cousin Liang Jing who was the negative example.
Although in terms of position, the cousin in the ZF department has obviously a wider promotion channel than himself, but the people in his hometown with limited knowledge will not know this, and they can only see the tangible benefits. In addition, at that time, the country's taxation was difficult, and there was no way to get money from other places, so they could only focus on the vast rural areas, and the villagers who were repeatedly picked up by the ZF department naturally did not have a good face for their cousin who was in public office.
As a result of repeated comparisons, the originally very good relationship between him and his cousin began to fade.
Even though he knew very well that these people were short-sighted, he couldn't be sure that his cousin could see it like that. In order not to make the two seem embarrassed and embarrassed together, he had to avoid contact with his cousin as much as possible, and the deep relationship that he had cultivated when he went to school, read together, and reviewed together gradually disappeared.
However, no one could have imagined that the world would change and the speed of creation and making people would be so fast, and at that time, it was prosperous, and it belonged to the enterprises and mines that everyone envied, but later it became so miserable. In the impact of these two eras, Liang Qian finally stayed in his original unit and did not lose his job, but the so-called cadre status was no longer useful, and became similar to other ordinary people.
And the opposite of his fate is his cousin's side.
Two thousand years later, with the rapid development of the country's industry and economy, on the basis of the tax-sharing system, the local finances were collected by the central government, and ZF was becoming more and more wealthy. Under such a background of the times, his cousin Liang Jing completed the important transformation from an ordinary public official to a section-level leadership before the age of 30, and he can be regarded as crossing that key threshold and officially stepping into the officialdom, and since then his identity and status have become very different from before.
I don't know if it's because my feelings are a little twisted, or if I don't want to be perceived as an attachment relationship, all in all, he and his cousin have completely broken off contact.
Counting, from the last visit to the present, the two have not seen each other for almost seven or eight years, the cousin who was originally handsome, tall and thin, and personable and had a fight with himself, is now middle-aged, and his figure is gradually getting out of shape, not only the belly has risen, but under the influence of the large increase in size, even the slightly fat face has begun to become less angry and arrogant, but if you look closely, you can still find many traces of the original eyebrows.
At this time, with the appearance of this figure, the memories in Liang Qian's mind were evoked, but it was a short moment in reality.
Seeing that Liang Qian was able to recognize himself so quickly, Liang Jing smiled slightly: "I heard from the chatter of those relatives in my hometown that you are running a wine here, and it just so happens that I have something to do around here, so I stopped by to take a look, I don't know if you are welcome sixth brother?" ”
In the conversation, it was natural to bring the kind of official authority that had lived on people for a long time, so that people knew at first sight that they were not ordinary people, which made colleagues and friends in the hall who were familiar with Liang Qian's situation a little curious. Because whether it is in the title or the similar appearance, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is not shallow, from their understanding, Liang Qian seems to have few reliable relatives, and he never reveals it in daily communication, otherwise, with Lao Liang's ability, he would not have been trapped in a small company for nearly 20 years.
Strangely, everyone couldn't help but find people who might know about it and began to find out his identity.
Liang Qian here didn't care about other people's eyes and discussions, and in the face of his cousin, who was now increasingly authoritative, he subconsciously responded with some resignation: "Of course welcome, it's my honor that the fifth brother can come." ”
Of course, he knew about the changes in his hometown, and as his cousin's official position became bigger and his authority became wider and wider, the attitude of his relatives who ignored him in the past naturally changed one hundred and eighty degrees. Not only did he start to walk around and contact him often, and he had to run over to ask for warmth every big and small holiday, but the most speechless thing was that inexplicably even himself, a "city person" who was highly sought after in the past, gradually became estranged. I don't know the rumors spread by that bastard, saying that the reason why the two don't get along with each other is that there is a conflict, so many people began to avoid him.
Looking at the few relatives who came over this time, I know that they basically left their hometown early, and they belong to the kind of relationship that is not close and not too far away, but they are not really familiar with each other, but they can't see any of them, which can be seen in the cold state of the world in terms of human accidents.
Just like now, cousin Liang Jing probably heard his news from a relative in his hometown by chance, and then, out of the psychology of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, he planned to see how the person who had compared himself to him was in his current situation......
