XXXIII. On the Dream of Lian
In mid-August, the Maoshan Farm Center Children's School opened.
The other two newly assigned graduates of Heishui Normal are You Hongshan and Tong Xiaoyuan.
You Hongshan lives in a remote mountain village at the top of the top right corner of the map of China. At the age of ten, he entered school and went to school, and he was promoted from primary school to junior high school, and he graduated from junior high school to go to normal school. After studying hard for 14 years, he became the only national cadre in the township who relied on studying to eat the "imperial grain".
Poverty grew up with him. My mother gave birth to my younger brother and died of wind after giving birth, and my father went to work every day on the production team, and led him down to the river to fish in the morning and evening. Later, the tail of capitalism was cut off and the bazaar was abolished, and he went to the commune town to sell from house to house. Once the security guard stopped him from selling fish, and Lao Youtou scolded: Fuck! Who's torn crotch to reveal you? Sell money to treat the mute son? The younger brother was born dumb and could not be cured, and Lao Youtou was soaked in cold water and got rheumatism, and he walked with a limp. You Hongshan followed his father, and blurted out "I'll fuck" as soon as he was anxious or excited.
He has average academic performance, but he wants to get ahead. One evening he was strolling around the playground when a cry for help suddenly came from the side of the blister, and a child skater fell into the ice hole! You Hongshan realized that the opportunity was coming, and shouted "I'm here!" as he ran! He threw himself into the icy water and dived into the water to rescue the child. Soon honors followed: the school named him as an activist who learned from Lei Feng, was elected as an outstanding league member of the year, and the school Youth League committee was reorganized and became a propaganda member.
Three years of life in the city made him nostalgic, and there was no shortage of better outlets in the city than to become a primary school teacher. You Hongshan's attempt to stay in the city after graduation was unsuccessful, but the efforts he made still worked - he did not return to his hometown in the small mountain village, and the prospects of the farm were naturally better.
Unlike You Hongshan's overmaturity, Tong Xiaoyuan loves to play with live treasures. He was the only child in his family, and his parents were both urban workers. When he first arrived, he declared that his mother had given him the task of getting married within two years, and that his wife must be beautiful and give me five children. He himself kept a straight face: what are you laughing at? Laughing at my "magic disease"? So he got the nicknames of "Demon" and "Big Demon", and whoever called him was willing to agree.
The central school has seven classes in six grades, and the fifth grade is divided into two classes (1) and 2. If it weren't for the establishment of three branches, there would have been three or four classes in grades 1 to 4.
Principal Lin divided the work among teachers and strengthened the staffing of the three upper and primary classes. The fifth-grade homeroom teacher teaches Chinese arithmetic in the class, (1) Tong Xiaoyuan in the class, and Zhang Jinwei in the (2) class. The latter is the daughter-in-law of Section Chief Cao of the Discipline Department, and has been teaching the fifth grade. In the sixth grade, Jiang Lesheng teaches Chinese, and You Hongshan teaches mathematics.
There is no director of teaching in the central school, and Principal Lin personally manages the teaching. You Hongshan found Principal Lin and said that he wanted to be the director of education in order to reduce the burden on the principal. Lin Bai glanced at him and said no. Although you have a teaching diploma but no teaching practice, how can you be a teaching director? You Hongshan's conspiracy was exposed, and he made a big red face, and scolded in his heart: Fuck! Kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! Principal Lin's disdainful eyes were engraved into the depths of his memory.
Du Pu, the fourth-grade class teacher, graduated from high school five years ago, and joined his father from Henan to stay in the field for employment, becoming the first teacher to be the child of a peasant worker, and has sent away three graduating classes in a row. With a few new teachers added this year, she took the initiative to let Xian, saying that she was not worthy of the heavy responsibility of teaching the graduating class.
Du Pu always has a humble smile on his face. She has a habit of walking on the side, no matter how wide the road is, and there are no pedestrians. The swing of the arms is very small, and the steps are so light that you are afraid of stepping on the ants. Twenty-seven or eight does not apply powder, his forehead is covered with fine forehead lines, and he is dressed in an iron-gray gauze tunic suit, which is older than the mother of two children. Principal Lin was very concerned about her marriage, and she smiled bitterly: The people in my picture are afraid of being implicated by me, and I don't want to marry me if they want to marry me. If I don't get married, why bother others?
The third-grade homeroom teacher is a newcomer, and she is particularly active in leaving the machine farming team to become a teacher, getting up every day and cleaning the toilet. She wrote an ideological return to You Hongshan, the leader of the Youth League: fight in the position of a teacher with a new attitude, strive to be an activist who learns from Lei Feng, and join the Communist Youth League as soon as possible.
Li Feng, the second-grade homeroom teacher, was transferred from another farm with her husband. The husband used to drive a rubber-tyred tractor, but his uncle, who was the section chief of the Labor Reform Bureau, transferred him to drive a car. Li Feng can speak well, and his voice is both high and sharp.
Zhang Zhi, who teaches the first grade, is Yu Dajiang's sister-in-law, who studied in junior high school for a year, and came from the countryside to join her sister Zhang Rong last year. She is very good at housework, cleaning up her sister's house, steaming steamed buns and stir-frying. Zhang Rong discussed with her husband that she couldn't always let Zhi'er be a nanny, she had to arrange a job for her, and proposed to let her sister be a teacher, Yu Dajiang shook her head again and again: Don't mislead people's children, she can't study by herself. Zhang Rong was angry when he heard this: Why can't you teach the first and second grades? The children of peasant workers can be teachers, and Zhi'er is still a member of the league! I discussed with Lao Xue Lao He to try it first, and then I went to the field to do farm work and feed the pigs in the pig house, so as not to touch the light of your brother-in-law!
It is impossible to say that it is not stained, Lao Xue Lao He naturally looks at the face of the field chief and his wife. Zhang Zhi has been teaching for a year, and the parents of the students praise her love and patience. Yu Dajiang was happy to hear this, and told Zhang Zhi not to pretend to be a leader relative: We are us, you are you. It's okay if you do a good job, if you don't do a good job, others should poke me in the backbone!
Zhang Zhi took care of almost all the housework in her sister's house, sometimes with flour embedded in her nails, and she went to class before she had time to wash it. The work was pleasant, but there was also endless distress - she had smallpox, and the virus had left her with a pockmarked face. Seeing that she was twenty-five years old, distress wore away her smile. Her sister arranged a decent job for her, which included the intention of making up for her facial defects.
Cong Jing teaches seven classes of music and art, and the burden of fourteen classes per week is not heavy. According to the regulations, the counselors of the Young Pioneers must be served by the members of the regiment, and You Hongshan, the leader of the regiment, took over the job and asked Cong Jing to be his assistant. I told her that I will take you this year, and you will pick the burden yourself next year. After saying that, he smiled flatteringly, hinting that she would join the group within a year.
Cong Jing was not unable to join the group during her study, but she didn't write an application. The secretary of the Youth League Committee mobilized many times, saying that joining the League was a manifestation of the revolutionary youth's demand for progress, and she smiled indifferently and asked: If you don't join the League, there will be no revolution? When she graduated from her junior college, there were only two members, unlike the ordinary class, which had an almost 100% enrollment rate. These boys and girls consider themselves future artists, believing that art is life, and nothing else matters.
The central school only has two party members, the principal Lin Bai and the husband Lao Biantou. Zhang Jinwen retired from the regiment after overage, and there are now four members of the group: You Hongshan, Li Feng, Zhang Zhi and Ren Fengying, the accountant of the canteen. You Hongshan is the leader of the regiment, and he wants to be the director of teaching, but he is looked down upon by Principal Lin, but he always thinks of himself as the second-in-command. The day after that unpleasant contact, Lin Bai recalled that he spoke too much, and apologized to him and said that I am used to being straightforward, Mr. You, don't mind! You Hongshan was excited, pretending not to care and saying: Fuck! Man's husband, I've forgotten about this!
At the weekly meeting, Principal Lin reported on her attendance in each class. praised Jiang Lesheng's class for being well-taught, in-depth and inspiring; Praise Du Pu and Zhang Zhi for their cordial words and moisturizing things silently-preaching, teaching, and solving doubts must first be loving.
You Hongshan was not praised, feeling that he was not favored. In his speech, he talked a lot about the general arguments that have nothing to do with the theme: Our educational policy serves the proletarian politics, and the biggest politics at present is to study Mao's writings, Lei Feng, and Wang Jie. The Youth League branch of the organ called on the youth league members to accumulate fertilizer and make fertilizer, and primary school students should also participate in this activity......
Four male teachers live in a dormitory, opposite the kang. Before going to bed that night, Tong Xiaoyuan suddenly asked You Hongshan from the neighboring shop: Is it true that your kid is taking an assistant, and it is true that you cultivate feelings. You want to learn from Yu Lian to try to pick flowers, right? You Hongshan didn't respond, he took a step and joked: We have been classmates for three years, and we are equal in all aspects, and today I openly declare war on you, not even a duel! Don't rely on the fact that you are a member of the league, you should also carry forward the style and learn from Lei Feng in this regard!
You Hongshan was broken by the Dao, and warned with a red and white face: Fuck! Less, beware of passing on people's ears! Tong Xiaoyuan is extraordinarily proud: When you provoke, you will be crooked, and I know if you pinch your tail and pull a few dung eggs.
Lu Kuan, a physical education teacher, had already fallen asleep. He used to carry sacks in the rice and noodle processing factory, because he played basketball well, he was transferred to teach the whole school physical education class, and took three senior classes to live in the school for morning exercises, plus recess exercises. Although the work is not easy, it is more decent than carrying a sack.
Jiang Lesheng and Lu Kuan Nankang neighbors. Hearing the conversation between You Tong and the two in a haze, he didn't scratch his head at first, what kind of cultivation of feelings, flower picking, and duel were messy, but he quickly reacted and knew that he was talking about letting Cong Jing be the assistant counselor of the Young Pioneers. Jiang Lesheng laughed secretly: "Demon Fear" is cunning and cunning!
Tong Xiaoyuan's judgment is not wrong, You Hongshan has been secretly watching Stendhal's "Red in Black" recently. By all indications, he was starting his Julian dream.
On the day You Hongshan came to report, he heard that Yinmei Ban Cong Jing also came to Maoshan, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. Lao Feng Tou painted his voice and described to him the grand occasion of his parents sending Cong Jing: The day before yesterday. Ho! You haven't seen it, the car is black and shiny, and you can see the shadows! It is much more magnificent than the car of Director Zhu of the Labor Reform Bureau. Your classmate's father is a senior official named Director Cong. On that day, the canteen was more lively than the New Year, and Secretary Sun was the head of the field, and the section chief and director of the enough level all went. When I helped serve the food, I glanced at it, and your classmate was bright and flowery, like a beauty on a calendar. People praise my daughter-in-law Lan Rongjun, how can she compare to others? Dirt. Secretary Sun said that she was a golden phoenix!
Lao Feng was full of spittle and spittle, and said to You Hongshan, who could listen attentively: I said young man, uh, what's your surname? Oh, Mr. You. There is no comparison between you classmates, you got down from the carriage in the morning, carrying a broken sack of luggage, a head of soot and dirt without a child, I thought where did you run blindly to beg for food!
You Hongshan came to the farm from his hometown, walked for a day and two nights on the road, and got off at the train station early in the morning. It just so happened that the carriage of the second branch went to pull coal and brought him along the way. I heard that it was a newly assigned teacher, so I sent him to the guest house, washed his hair, washed his face and changed his clothes, and then he looked like a "child". Old Feng Tou only cared about his eyebrows and dancing with pleasure, and he didn't notice that You Hongshan's face turned from white to red, from red to purple and swollen like a pig's liver—his self-esteem was greatly stabbed.
On the first night of coming to Maoshan, You Hongshan hardly slept much, Lao Fengtou's words always echoed in his ears, and Cong Jing's shadow flashed in his mind. The ordinary class and the junior class of Heishui Normal School were not together, and he had little contact with her for three years, and every theatrical performance must have her program - solo singing and accordion solo. At the end of the performance, the audience, especially the boys, applauded and shouted: Flowers, one more! -- Cong Jing is recognized as the school flower.
When I heard about the compound of this beautiful girl's housing and administrative department, my father must be a big cadre. Cong Jing became his crush, even though she was a bright moon hanging in the middle of the sky.
In the early winter of last year, the Youth League Committee of the school publicized his advanced deeds of rescuing children who fell into the water. In the gallery, the four-inch color photo of "You Hongshan, an activist who learns from Lei Feng and an outstanding member of the Communist Youth League" is impressive. Every day he had to pace back and forth in front of the gallery.
One day he came here again. In the twilight, I suddenly found that a familiar figure stood in front of the gallery, and the street lamp illuminated her face. His heart pounded, and he tried to come forward to say hello and then retracted - he had never spoken to her face to face before, and it was abrupt to take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her in this place. But he was unwilling to leave.
Just as he was hesitating, Cong Jing turned his head and recognized him as the same person as Caizhao, and said: Yo! You Hongshan, amazing!
Without waiting for a reply, she walked away with light steps, leaving the sound of leather boots on the concrete pavement.
On the eve of graduation, a literary review was published in the newspaper, criticizing a novel called "Red and Black": the protagonist Yu Lian comes from a humble background, is unwilling to lie dormant at the bottom of society, boldly seduces the mayor's wife, frantically pursues Mademoiselle Marquis, and finally realizes the dream of becoming a member of high society. You Hongshan was thrilled after reading it - isn't this person my idol? .
The next day he rushed to the bookstore, and the salesperson said that "Red and Black" had been discontinued; I went to the city library to borrow it, and the administrator said that the superior informed me not to let it be borrowed. He had an idea to show the signboard of the Normal Youth League Committee, falsely claiming that the purpose of borrowing books was to organize the writing of critical articles, and he said a lot of good things to the administrator, so he lent out the "Red and Black", which was about to turn over. When I graduated, I was reluctant to pay it back, I lost the lying book, and I lost ten times the original price.
When You Hongshan tried to stay in the city to work, Cong Jing's shadow appeared in his mind, and he expected that she would definitely stay in this frontier prefecture-level city. The silver-bell-like "amazing" invigorated him and evoked his infinite reverie. The results of the distribution were unexpected, except for a few who stayed in the city, the rest went to remote mountainous villages, and Cong Jing disappeared like a kite with a broken string.
An unexpected surprise falls from the sky! The person who has always been in mind has returned to his vision, and he will be with him for a long time. Whose arrangement is in the dark? Cong Jing, Cong Jing, are you my Lady Rainer or Miss Martel?
The small world of the children's school is conducive to You Hongshan's plump wings to show his strength. On the bookshelf on his desk, there are "On the Cultivation of ** Members" and "Pedagogy", and many bars are drawn with red and blue pencils in the folding, showing outsiders that he is tireless in learning. And the "Red and Black", which was obtained by disgraceful means and stamped with the library's stamp, was locked in a drawer and never shown, and secretly flipped through it when no one was around.
