Xu Yingying has been planning for a long time to open a branch in Qihua, and she chose to rush to Qihua today because her master's classmate made an appointment to have a party today, and the theme was to send a student who worked in the Provincial Department of Finance to the United States for three months of study.

The meeting place was chosen not far from the Provincial Department of Finance, called Jindu Hotel. Xu Yingying studied for a master's degree in Qihua for three years and is quite familiar with the geography of Qihua. She got out of the hotel where she was staying, flagged down a taxi, and came to the door of the Jindu Hotel before the appointed time.

"Yingying"

With a coquettish shout, a pretty figure flew towards Xu Yingying, and in an instant, Xu Yingying was hugged, and the affectionate energy made passers-by look sideways.

"Mengchen, you miss me." Xu Yingying hugged each other with his backhand and shouted with a smile. This is her roommate for three years of master's degree, named Wu Mengchen, who was admitted to the civil service of the Provincial Tourism Bureau after graduation and stayed in Qihua.

"Don't blow it, you really miss me, why don't you come to see me It's only a two-hour journey from Yuhai to Qihua, and your Ge Jianyu won't even give you half a day's vacation" Wu Mengchen took Xu Yingying's hand and asked teasingly.

Xu Yingying waved his hand and said: "It's none of his business, I'm too busy Alas, it's hard to say, or let's go in and talk."

"Yes, yes, go in and talk, Shanxiao and Xuefang will be there soon, Lu Jinliang should have arrived early." Wu Mengchen said as he took Xu Yingying's hand and walked into the hotel.

When I came to the reserved private room, there was already a person sitting in the room. Seeing Xu Yingying and Wu Mengchen coming in, the man hurriedly got up to greet him, and heard a smile before he could say anything:

"Oh, Yingying is a rare guest, no, no, I should call you Boss Xu, I heard that you didn't look for a unit to work after you arrived in Yuhai, but started your own business."

This person is the class leader of Xu Yingying's past class, named Lu Jinliang, and today's party is set up by him. After graduating, Lu Jinliang went to work in the cultural bureau of a district below Qihua, and he was relatively idle on weekdays. In addition, he is the squad leader himself, so this kind of thing is usually initiated by him. Xu Yingying also had a good relationship with Lu Jinliang in the past, and when he saw Lu Jinliang, he greeted him with a smile. Modestly explaining:

"What the boss is not a boss is just a small restaurant with others. I didn't have as solid grades as Captain Lu, and the poisoning in Cangmu Mountain before graduation scared me out, and I didn't dare to do anything related to history anymore. My family Jianyu said that I still have some talent for cooking. That's why I opened a restaurant. ”

She said as if it were true, making people think that she opened a restaurant because she was just a desperate move. Although the distance from Qihua to Yuhai is not far, no one in their class has been to Yuhai at this time, so they don't know Xu Yingying's real situation now, but occasionally listen to Xu Yingying talk about opening a restaurant in the class group. A master's degree graduate opens a restaurant, which always feels like it is always associated with the word "fallen", so when these classmates in the provincial capital get together to talk about Xu Yingying, the overall evaluation is that she is very miserable.

Wu Mengchen obviously also had this view, and listened to Xu Yingying. hurriedly comforted: "What a big restaurant or a small restaurant, if you want me to say, it's easier to open a small restaurant." In fact, as long as you earn some money to eat and drink, we are not people who do any big business, right, Yingying. ”

"Mengchen, you're so right, it's so tiring to open a big restaurant, I'd rather open a small restaurant." Xu Yingying echoed with deep sympathy, but the meaning of her words was completely opposite to Wu Mengchen's meaning. Wu Mengchen persuaded her to be content with the status quo and keep a small restaurant. And what she meant was to say: Sister, I am now running a big restaurant. But I was tired, though I was tired and happy

While talking, other students also arrived one after another, including Mao Shanxiao, who works in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Power Grid Company. There are Ke Xuefang, who works in the Youth League and District Committee, and Yang Yu, who works in the Municipal Earthquake Bureau. I haven't seen each other for a few months, but everyone has changed, one is that they are dressed more carefully than when they were studying, and the other is generally a sign of early obesity, which is because life has settled down.

Compared to these classmates who stayed in the provincial capital to work. Xu Yingying looked a little haggard. In the past few months, she has been busy and worried, and several gray hairs have grown, and at first glance it seems that life is very difficult. However, if an outsider is on the sidelines, you can find that Xu Yingying has the brightest eyes in this group, and her classmates are more or less lazy.

"Why hasn't Lao Qin come yet, isn't it seeing him off today?"

With a somewhat impatient look, Yang Yu looked at the door of the private room and muttered. Because there were still no people to arrive, it was inconvenient for everyone to greet the food, but sat next to them and drank tea. Yang Yu's work unit was far away, and he rushed here by car, he was already a little hungry, and after drinking a few cups of tea, he felt more and more astringent in his stomach, and he was a little polite when he spoke.

"Lao Qin is a busy man, and he is late for every party. Now that I'm going abroad, I guess there are a lot of things to hand over, so let's wait. Lu Jinliang explained to everyone with a smile.

"By the way, squad leader, is Lao Jiao coming?" asked Yang Yu again.

As soon as Lao Jiao was mentioned, everyone in the room was silent, and Lu Jinliang had an embarrassed look on his face, and said, "I also informed him, and he said that he should come over as much as possible." ”

"Old Jiao, alas, it's true." Ke Xuefang seemed to want to comment, but when the words came to her lips, she finally didn't know how to say it.

Next, everyone went back to the original topic, and it seemed that no one had mentioned Lao Jiao's matter at all, but everyone's mood was obviously a little lower, and there was no longer the feeling of interest just now.

Xu Yingying has been away from Qihua for a few months, and he doesn't know the situation of his classmates here, and when he sees this scene, he also knows that there are some problems. She quietly pulled Wu Mengchen aside and asked in a low voice: "Mengchen, what's wrong, why do I think everyone is a little embarrassed when they mention Lao Jiao?"

"Don't you know," Wu Mengchen asked strangely.

"I don't know." Xu Yingying said, "I haven't been back to Qihua in the past few months, and my understanding of the situation in the class is to look at the news in the class group, but no one has mentioned Lao Jiao." ”

"Oh" Wu Mengchen nodded, "You really haven't mentioned it in the group, let me tell you, that's the case"

The old Jiao that everyone said was also a classmate in Xu Yingying's class, named Jiao Heping, who was born in a farmer's family, and was a graduate student who worked for several years after graduating from the bachelor's degree, and was the oldest in the class, so the whole class called him Lao Jiao.

Jiao Heping taught middle school in a poor county below Yunjiang before he was admitted to graduate school, and his wife was also an ordinary civil servant in the county, with an average family background and no savings. During his graduate studies, he basically worked part-time outside to earn living expenses while studying, and his frugal life is well known. However, because he is a few years older than everyone else and has work experience, he has always acted as a big brother in the class, and often gives some guidance to his classmates in dealing with people, and his popularity is still very good.

After graduating, Jiao Heping was admitted to the civil service of Qihua City, but perhaps because of his age, or for other reasons, he was finally admitted to the Cultural and Historical Museum of a district below Qihua, which belonged to the outright Qingshui Yamen.

Some time ago, Jiao Heping's father suddenly became seriously ill and was sent to Qihua for hospitalization. After examination, he needed to have a complex heart surgery, and he did not know whether to do a bypass or put a few stents, in short, the cost of the operation was not small. In the past two years, the new rural cooperative medical system has been popularized in rural areas, and the reimbursement rate for serious illness medical treatment is relatively high, but all of them are calculated, and the expenses that individuals need to bear are nearly 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. In addition, the more than 200,000 yuan for the entire operation needs to be paid in advance by the individual, and then returned to the county for reimbursement with the receipts, which stumped Jiao Heping.

Jiao Heping has just arrived at the new unit, and his contacts with new colleagues are still shallow, let alone the friendship that can borrow money. In desperation, he could only open his mouth to his former graduate students, begging everyone to make up some money for him, so that he could pay his father's medical expenses first so that he could have surgery as soon as possible.

"Lao Jiao was very good to us in the past, I wanted to lend him some money, but I also just joined the work, how can I have any money, and in the end I only lent him 2,000 yuan" Wu Mengchen looked a little embarrassed and said to Xu Yingying.

"What about the other classmates," Xu Yingying asked with a somewhat gloomy face.

Wu Mengchen shook his head lightly and said, "It seems that Yang Yu lent him 2,000, and Shanxiao gave him 4,000, and the others were gone." ”

"That's right," Xu Yingying understood.

Jiao Heping borrowed money from his classmates, which should have been contacted individually one by one, and was not said in the class group. And most people didn't lend him money, and it was inconvenient to mention this kind of thing in the group, so there was a situation where everyone was silent. Everyone has just joined the work, and the general family background is not thick, which is also an objective situation, but to say that one person can't make up a few thousand dollars, it is an excuse, in the final analysis, it is just a weak human affection.

At this time, only a footstep was heard outside, and then a boy in a suit and leather shoes and a briefcase appeared at the door. Lu Jinliang snorted, rushed over, and reached out to pick up the bag in the other party's hand. The boy didn't see it, so he handed the bag to Lu Jinliang casually, and then greeted everyone in a loud voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've kept you waiting."

"Wow, handsome guy Qin is here"

"Qin Caizi"

"Qin Division"

A group of people stepped forward one after another, and the compliments came one after another, leaving only Xu Yingying and Yang Yu still standing in place, sneering and silent. To be continued.
