Each generation has a different collective experience that will lead to some similar patterns of behaviour.

Everyone's experience is inevitably reflected in thoughts and actions, and no one escapes it.

At night, Wang Qiao listened to Yang Lian tell some old stories. These stories are other people's stories, old stories from twenty or thirty years ago, but these people and events are still influencing this era. In the same way, this era will affect the next in the same way. This is path dependence, or inheritance.

After writing and chatting, this night was very quiet in the fragrance of books.

When he got up in the morning, Wang Qiao left the Yang family alone and came to the family courtyard of the National People's Congress at half past seven. Master Yang's car was already waiting at the door. Master Yang looked at the direction Wang Qiao came from and said, "Director Wang, you got up so early. Wang Qiao said: "Walked around and looked for food." Have you eaten? Master Yang said, "I didn't eat it, I know there is a rice noodle shop near here, and it tastes good." ”

Wang Qiao usually eats noodles in the morning, and said: "The rice noodles are relatively chewy, so I still eat noodles." Master Yang smiled: "Director Wang, this is arrogance and prejudice, I will take you to eat rice noodles." Wang Qiao said: "I didn't expect Master Yang to be a literary young man, so we went to eat powder because of arrogance and prejudice." ”

In Jingzhou, rice noodles are often referred to as noodles, and eating rice noodles is called eating noodles, and people who don't know the truth are often surprised when they hear the blatant sound of "eating noodles" on the streets.

The two walked, and after walking a few steps, they came to an "authentic Shuicheng mutton rice noodle shop", and Master Yang ordered the noodles with a familiar car, and specially instructed: "Add an extra portion of mutton and haggis, as well as a leg of mutton." That's great, add a leg of lamb. ”

A bowl of rice noodles is piled up with large slices of thin lamb. and softly boiled leg of lamb, with savory sauerkraut. The color, flavor and flavor were complete, which aroused Wang Qiao's appetite, and he almost drank the soup. He was sweating and feeling very comfortable, and said, "It's really arrogant and prejudiced, if it weren't for Master Yang, I would have missed out on a delicious product." ”

After eating, Master Yang took the initiative to pay. Wang Qiao said: "Open a ticket another day and report the money." Master Yang said: "Director Yang has confessed. Several of our drivers borrowed a few hundred dollars, and we will deal with it uniformly when the time comes. ”

I returned to the Changdong government office, made tea, and then accompanied the leaders to participate in two meetings, and the time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was noon. He was holding a notebook, and as soon as he walked to the office, he saw Zhao Liangyong waiting for him in the office.

"Lao Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time." Wang Qiao is still called "Lao Zhao" according to his previous name. Principal Zhao was not addressed.

Zhao Liangyong said: "Director Wang, are you free at noon?" ”

The noon time is very short, and everyone generally takes the time to rest for a while, otherwise they may not be able to have energy in the afternoon. Wang Qiao originally wanted to rest. But the person who came was an old friend from the old village, so he said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." But you can't drink alcohol at noon. Zhao Liangyong said: "Zhao Hai is below, he is embarrassed to come upstairs." ”

Wang Qiao said: "Zhao Hai has come out." Then let's go down and see him. ”

Zhao Hai was sentenced for ** crime, which was the most tragic ending among the people in the old township. Wang Qiao mourned his misfortune. But he was angry, and now that Zhao Hai has come out of prison, he will be punished for his crimes.

When I got off the elevator, it happened that Deputy County Magistrate Gong Fangping was also in the elevator. When Wang Qiao was dealing with the garbage dump, he had frequent contact with Gong Fangping. At first, Gong Fangping was very unhappy with Wang Qiao, a recent college graduate, and repeatedly criticized him, basically not considering his proposal. Practice has proved that most of Wang Qiao's suggestions are correct, and Gong Fangping slowly changed his view of Wang Qiao. Now that Wang Qiao has been transferred to the county government office, they see each other almost every day, and Gong Fangping thinks that this young man is very good.

Wang Qiao introduced: "This is Principal Zhao of Jiuxiang Middle School. ”

Zhao Liangyong greeted him solemnly: "Hello to the county magistrate." ”

Gong Fangping just nodded, tilted his head and said to Wang Qiao: "Although you have left the urban management committee, you still have to pay attention to the garbage dump and have time to take a look." Your identity has changed now, and you're checking on the progress of the highway on my behalf. "During this period of time, the garbage dump has repeatedly made trouble, and as the leader in charge, he also feels very troublesome, so let Wang Qiao keep an eye on this matter, and he can rest assured.

Wang Qiao said: "I'll take the time to take a look in the past two days." ”

After the elevator went to the end, Gong Fangping strode out, turned around and said, "When County Magistrate Peng comes back, remember to remind me to take a look at today's key projects." ”

Looking at Gong Fangping's distant back, Zhao Liangyong relaxed and said: "As the saying goes, pretending to be a king is like pretending to be a tiger, will you be very nervous when you are with these leaders every day." ”

Wang Qiao said: "I was nervous when I first came, but after a long time, I got used to it. Leaders are also people, one nose and two nostrils, no different. ”

Zhao Liangyong said: "It's different for us, when we see the director of education, we have to be respectful, and our lives are pinched, let us stand and stand, let us lie down." It is even more difficult for a teacher like us to be transferred to the city than to ascend to the sky. I've been working in my hometown for so long, so it's time to move my place. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiao understood Zhao Liangyong's thoughts and said, "Do you have the idea of transferring?" ”

Zhao Liangyong said: "Don't lie in front of Director Wang, Changdong often adjusts various principals during the summer vacation. The Education Bureau is making a plan to rotate the principals of various schools, and I don't have the luxury of entering key schools, but after nearly 20 years in the most remote place of the old township, it is time to change positions. Wang Qiao is the person next to the leader, and he should be able to speak at the Education Bureau, can you say hello to me and change positions during this adjustment. ”

Wang Qiao said: "I call you Lao Zhao, don't be too polite, don't call me Director Wang, just call me by name, or call me a barbarian, the same as before." ”

Zhao Liangyong said with a smile: "I still call you a brute, and when others hear it, they will say that I am ignorant." ”

Wang Qiao said: "When there are no outsiders, you can always call me a barbarian." ”

Zhao Liangyong said: "It's better to be Director Wang, don't forget your roots." Okay, good, I don't call Director Wang, I'll call me a barbarian. ”

Wang Qiao remembered that there was a time when Zhao Liangyong and Niu Qingde were very close, and said bluntly: "Why don't you go to Niu Qingde, he is also very effective in talking, at least more effective than me, I am new to the county government office, and the relationship with the Education Bureau has not yet been established." ”

Zhao Liangyong's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said, "You are different from Niu Qingde. Now Niu Qingde is not the Niu Qingde of his old hometown, our old friends can't enter his circle, and we have done something with him, maybe there will be a problem one day. I am a little principal, and I really don't dare to take the trick of Mr. Niu Qingde Niu. ”

Zhao Liangyong's words have not been fully explained, in order to change from deputy to regular, he went to Niu Qingde, Niu Qingde did not collect money at that time, but went directly to Peng Jiazhen, deputy minister of the organization department, Peng Jiazhen came forward, and the principal's hat was put on his head. did not spend money to get things done, and at that time he still felt that Niu Qingde was very righteous. Some time ago, Niu Qingde was drunk when he returned to his old hometown, and suddenly called him and asked him to bring two new young female teachers to sing together.

This is Zhao Liangyong's least favorite thing to do, just thinking about the origin of his hat, or cheekily bringing two newly assigned teachers and students to sing. There is also a singing place in the old township, which is next to the restaurant originally opened by Niu Qingde. The drunken Niu Qingde did not have clean hands and feet when he danced with the new teacher, causing the two new teachers to cry a lot afterwards.

After this incident, Zhao Liangyong sat on the rostrum, his eyes always avoiding the two young female teachers. He wanted to change schools, which also had something to do with it.

Wang Qiao was very happy and said: "Which school you want to transfer, except for the two key schools, you can fight for the others." ”

Zhao Liangyong was overjoyed and said, "It would be best if I could be transferred to Changdong No. 4 Middle School." ”

Changdong No. 4 Middle School is a school with better conditions in addition to the key middle school in the city, because of the good conditions, there are more people staring at this position, Zhao Liangyong did not think of the No. 4 Middle School at first, just listened to Wang Qiao's tone, and he had the courage to mention the No. 4 Middle School.

Wang Qiao said: "Then I'll give it a try, there is no guarantee of success, and there is no guarantee that I can reach the fourth middle school." ”

While talking, the two walked out of the county government compound and walked along the main street for about ten minutes to a fish restaurant. Zhao Liangyong said: "Director Wang likes to eat fish, so I found this small fish restaurant. The fish restaurant is small and tastes good, the key is that Director Wang's favorite black fish is eaten. ”

went upstairs to the private room, Wang Qiao pushed the door and entered, and saw Zhao Hai with a bald head. When he was in his old hometown, Zhao Hai always had long hair and a bit of melancholy literary and artistic indignation. Now that he has a bald head and sets off his eagle ditch nose more conspicuously, his whole temperament has changed, no longer melancholy, no longer green, but a kind of coldness.

"Zhao Hai, when did you come out?" Wang Qiao was very emotional when he saw his old friends who had sunk into prison.

Zhao Hai stared at Wang Qiao for a while, and said, "I never thought in my life that the barbarian would actually become the director of the county government office. ”

Wang Qiao said: "I am the deputy director. ”

Zhao Haidao: "For me, Zheng and Vice are almost the same, you are the ruling class, and we are the ruled class. ”

Wang Qiao has lived in the detention center for more than 100 days, and he knows that the ** prisoner is having a very bad time in the detention center, he didn't want to drink, but after seeing Zhao Hai, he took the initiative to say: "Let's take a bottle of Jingzhou Tequ, and the three of us will have a drink." ”

After the fragrant black fish was served, a bottle of wine was poured into three glasses. Wang Qiao said: "Don't say anything, take a big sip first." "When the wine enters the body, everyone seems to gradually find the feeling of the past. Zhao Hai took a sip suddenly, this one was two or two, his eyes became red, and said, "Barbarian, where is Lu Qi, I often think of her when I was in prison, she is the most beautiful in my hometown." ”

Wang Qiao also took a sip and said, "She was admitted to graduate school, and she will have no contact with me in the future." ”
