Chapter 83
There was no barrage on TV, but the attention was already high before the broadcast, and the discussion on the topic around the neck was quickly pushed to the top of the hot list as the news aired. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mo Mo didn't know if this interview was secretly instructed by the production staff to have such a clear orientation, or if in fact it was just a winter that had passed, and the countryside had indeed become unrecognizable. She hoped from the bottom of her heart that it was the former possibility, but when she saw the comments in the topic discussion forum, she felt that she might be disappointed.
Only a small number of impulsive adventurers living in Kyoto were interviewed, but the netizens who participated in the discussion were all over the country. Many netizens have told their personal experiences. If a person speaks a shocking story, everyone may suspect that he or she is making up a story, but thousands of people say the same thing, which makes people have to think deeply.
While listening to the news while holding his mobile phone and watching it seriously, Mo Mo suddenly felt a sinking in his legs. Looking up, Lele, who had turned over and was already very proficient, didn't know when he turned over and moved to his mother's side, and at this time, he was shouting "ahh
Seeing the little guy's smiling little chubby face, Mo Mo's heart softened, and he decisively put down his mobile phone and hugged his fat son into his arms.
Thematic visits continued. In addition to the interviewee's interviews, the TV is also interspersed with aerial footage from the TV station. However, I haven't been out of the city for half a year, and the changes in the countryside can not be described as earth-shaking. From a high-altitude perspective, the village was swallowed up by the thick green that made people feel unprovoked and frightened, and even the high-definition LCD TV screen could not find the slightest trace of the life of the villagers in the past.
"I didn't expect that it was only half a year, and the changes outside the city were so big!" He Hui has never been out of the city since Yan Bin went to the village to propose marriage to his adoptive parents, and he felt very uncomfortable when he saw that the familiar countryside had become so unfamiliar.
"Plants are expanding so fast!" Thinking of the land allocated by the community to the owners, if not for the small amount of land allocated to each household, and because of the high price of vegetables, each family takes good care of it. In the morning and evening, the grass will be removed, insects and watered, and it is estimated that the wild grass will not be able to stop the wild growth.
Shi Yichen, who is more keen, thinks more: "Does the release of such a highly oriented special interview mean that there are any major measures to be introduced?" ”
"I can't say, but judging from the style of our country's high-level behavior. This interview is really strange......"
"I'd like to see a big move. Things have come to this point, and they are still pretending to be deaf and dumb to whitewash the peace, do you really have to wait until we can't live before we speak? ”
Soon, everyone will know what big move the state is going to make.
[For the survival of mankind, for the dignity of mankind. To protect our homeland, sign up for the army! 】
[Here to temper youth, here to strengthen the body, here to achieve your wonderful life! ] 】
Are you still struggling to make progress? Are you still worried about your family's safety? Are you still worried about your child's future? Come join the army! Here will give you the perfect answer! 】
……
As if overnight, banners of electrifying, uplifting, sensational, or righteous conscription advertisements filled the neighborhoods and streets. Moreover, various conditions have also been relaxed a lot, and the age has even been relaxed to 16 to 40 years old, which is almost unprecedented in ancient and modern China and abroad.
"This is the rhythm of enlisting in the army!" Look at the long line of registrations. Mo Mo sighed quietly. However, thinking that this measure of the levy government can not only resettle a large number of people who have lost their jobs due to the adjustment of the industrial structure, but also restrain those young people who are idle and do trouble all day long, and can also increase the overall combat effectiveness of society, it is really a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, and my heart is also excited.
"At the end of the day, do you think we should sign up for a try?" He Hui was a little moved. Foreign-funded enterprises have fully withdrawn and returned to her hometown, and she is an undergraduate student studying English, and she can't do such a high-end job as translating scientific research papers. Recently, the company's orders have plummeted. Seeing that she couldn't drive anymore, she really didn't want to stay at home all day and have nothing to do, thinking that enlisting in the army would be a way out, so she wanted to try.
"Let's talk to my family. But so many people signed up. I don't think the reality is as good as advertised. "No matter how rich the country is, it can't afford to support so many people, Mo Mo is really skeptical of the preferential treatment offered on the recruitment advertisement.
After discussing with his family, Mo Mo and He Hui also signed up. There are also Shi Yichen, Yan Bin, Qin Ze, and Su Ran's two younger brothers and eldest sister, and the three eligible young people have all signed up except for Su Ran and his youngest sister. And Uncle, Shi Dad and Mo Dad, who are already beyond the age range, even before the overwhelming recruitment advertisements appeared. was appointed as a martial arts instructor in the military system.
I don't know if the conscription conditions are relatively lenient, or because the three young people are of good quality in all aspects, in short, all those who signed up passed the preliminary examination.
Before the start of the re-examination interview, Mo Mo and He Hui ushered in their graduation ceremony.
This year's graduates didn't catch up with the good times, it was difficult to find a job, and the graduation ceremony was generally relatively simple, not to mention the song and dance performances and even a variety of souvenirs, and the department didn't even invite the necessary casual meals in previous years.
At the end of the graduation ceremony, which can be simply summarized as a "leader's speech", Su Nianzhen talked and laughed with a few good classmates and went to the snack street that she hadn't patronized for a long time. This year's graduates are generally under pressure, and the class cadres don't have much heart to organize a break-up meal, plus many students who haven't settled down their jobs are not in the mood at all, Cao Xi, who has the heart to let everyone get together, is not easy to speak, so he simply called a few friends who have a better relationship.
"It's so deserted!" Looking at the bustling and overcrowded snack street in my impression, there are no people, and the small shops that used to wait in line have also closed.
"Prices are high, I heard that the rent of shops has also risen, and there are many fewer students coming here, so many small shops can't open and close down......
School cafeterias are financially subsidized, and the price of meals barely maintains the original price, and even if there is, the increase is very small. But the owner of the stall on the snack street is not so lucky, the price of ingredients is there, no matter how much they reduce the cost, they can't make any money, of course, they have to follow the price increase. But the problem is whether the students who come to consume are still at the previous consumption level. Such a high price is really unbearable, and gradually no students come. On the one hand, the cost is increasing, and on the other hand, there are fewer and fewer customers. decisively closed the small shop and retired the shop. I came home with my wife and children to develop.
A few girls walked from the street to the end of the alley, and finally found a Sichuan restaurant that was frequented before, had a good impression, and is still standing tenaciously.
There are dozens of tables in the restaurant, all of which are students. It is estimated that the situation is similar to that of Mo Mo and them, and they all have dinner with good friends. The girls sat down in a secluded corner and chatted as they picked up the menu on the table.
"Why are the boiled fish and the charcoal pot grilled fish gone?" Mo Mo likes to eat this boiled fish the most, the portion is full and flavorful, and it is a must-order dish every time she comes back.
"Don't talk about it here, even the fish in the canteen is too expensive to eat." Cao Xi said with a sad face, "I've almost forgotten what fish tastes like!" ”
Mo Mo thought that Shi Yichen would bring home seafood every few days, and paused, but after all, he still didn't say the question in his heart.
"I booked my plane ticket for tomorrow. When I go back to my hometown this time, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to come back to Kyoto. Usually dedicated to serious study, Qu Xiujuan, who was originally sure to win the guaranteed place, looked melancholy. She is a very rational person, and her original career plan was to send her to graduate school after graduating from her bachelor's degree, and then go straight to her doctorate, and then find an opportunity to stay in school and teach. But the appearance of the white fog, the earth-shaking changes in the world in the past year, suddenly disrupted her plan. The world has become like this, what is the use of good grades? If you study engineering, it's okay, no matter how many years of further study, you are a talent that is being sought. But she read journalism instead! Even if the family can afford it, she can't afford to waste that time!
"Your home is not far away, but it's only a few hours' drive, what kind of frustrating words!" Everyone comforted her with red eyes.
I guess everyone is a little sad. Cao Xi smiled and livened up the atmosphere: "Don't worry, Xiao Juanjuan, don't say anything else, when you get married, we will definitely be there in person to bless you!" ”
"Yes, if you really miss us, hurry up and find a handsome guy to get the certificate......"
Everyone laughed for a while, and Qu Xiujuan hesitated. Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said, "My cousin works in the railway department, and you know that several trains have had accidents because of track damage. The above concealed the report, so I advise you to buy a ticket to take a plane back even if you spend a little more money, and try not to take the train or bullet train if you can. ”
"How can it be damaged! Shouldn't there be staff for regular maintenance? Cao Xi exclaimed. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly turned her head to look around, and saw that the other tables were chatting happily, and it was estimated that no one would hear it, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You don't know the madness of the weeds, the first day it was cleaned up, and the next day it grew again, my cousin said that a large number of staff were sent to do the clean-up work, but it still couldn't be cleaned up, the track was almost buried under the thick weeds, and the train could slip or even derail if one was not careful, and there was no way to do it, so it could only stop a few dangerous ones......
A few girls listened in horror. They wanted to ask Qu Xiujuan why she didn't spread it as much as possible since she heard the news, so that everyone could be more vigilant. But thinking of a few classmates in the department who were handcuffed and taken away, they finally swallowed back the words that came to their mouths. They still don't know what happened to the students who were arrested, but they can guess some. From the country's point of view, it is necessary to give priority to the overall situation, and it is understandable to adopt extraordinary measures in extraordinary times. But as ordinary members of the crowd, they don't like to be kept in the dark, and they are eager to know everything.
Although everyone tried to maintain a happy mood, Mo Mo knew that these girls who had grown up rapidly but were not ready to accept the cruel reality were actually very uneasy in their hearts. Why shouldn't she? In the past, when the country was deaf and dumb, she could still deceive herself and tell herself that the situation was not so bad that it was. And now, seeing the family step by step towards a state of emergency, what excuse does she use to convince herself? What will be the fate of these girls who have spent the best years with her in the future?
Mo Mo couldn't guess it, and he didn't dare to think about it.
After lunch, the girls went back to school and took one photo after another of the campus where they were still nostalgic even though they had been unrecognizable. They even went to the Academic Affairs Office to borrow bachelor's gowns, and smiled brightest at the camera, preserving this unforgettable and beautiful moment forever.
On the way to the teaching building, the group met Xu Shuo, who was alone. She looked much thinner, her face was haggard, and her eyes were full of anxiety and confusion. Mo Mo didn't hate her anymore, and greeted her like everyone else with a detached smile on his face like an ordinary classmate.
When Xu Shuo's emaciated figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Cao Xi said a little melancholy: "She thought that she was in the circle of Wu Xiaoxiao, even if she entered the circle of those rich second generations, she looked down on us stupid mortals." But who would have thought that the sky would suddenly change? I heard that there was a problem with Wu Xiaoxiao's family, and it was difficult to protect herself, so how could I take care of her! ”
"People are not as good as heaven, if someone told me a year ago that the world would be like this in a year, I would definitely laugh at him for being so brainy!"
A few girls walked and walked, almost all over the school, their legs were sore, their feet were painful, but they still didn't want to stop. Once they leave, who knows if they will have the opportunity to revisit the same place once they leave?
By the time Mo Mo left school in a low mood, it was already getting dark. Before she walked out of the school gate, she saw Shi Yichen wearing a simple white T-shirt, light blue jeans and sneakers from a distance.
Somehow, Mo Mo, who endured no tears no matter how sad he was, the moment he saw Shi Yichen standing idly and grinning at her, the tears suddenly broke the embankment, and he couldn't stop it.
"Think of me like that?" Shi Yichen walked a few steps quickly and hugged his teary-eyed lover into his arms.
"Hmm......" Mo Mo didn't refute, quietly sobbed in his lover's arms for a while, then wiped away his tears, took the initiative to take his lover's hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go home!" (To be continued.) )
