Shiwa, the primary school is located between two small villages, Xiaoshiwa Village and Dashiwa Village. The courtyard wall of the primary school is also made of stones, Zhou Shanhu said: "This primary school was built by Principal Chen himself, and even the wall is the stone he carried down" was chiseled out with a chisel. ”，

Zhang Yang looked inside the school through the gate, the school is not big, only two rows of school buildings, a total of six rooms, all the students who come here are students before the third grade, there is only one class per grade, including the principal Chen Aiguo, there are only three teachers in total.

Zhou Shanhu leaned on the gate and shouted inside, "Principal Chen! Principal Chen"

About three minutes later, I saw an old man wearing a military cotton hat, a military coat, and old cotton shoes walking towards this side, if it weren't for the highly myopic glasses on the nose sorghum that added a bit of bookishness to him, everyone would think that this was an old farmer, this is Chen Aiguo, the principal of Shiwa Primary School.

Because the sky was dark and Chen Aiguo's eyes were not good, he held a flashlight in his hand, and the snowy light shone towards the door: "Who?" ”

Zhou Shanhu said loudly: "Principal Chen, it's me, Huzi"

Chen Aiguo took a few steps forward and came to the door, only then did he see that it was Zhou Shanhu, he looked at Zhang Yang and Jiang Liang vigilantly and said, "Huzi, what are you doing here with such a big snow?" Who are they? ”

Zhou Shanhu said with a smile: "Principal Chen, you open the door first, these two are my good friends, and they came to ask you about something." ”，

Chen Aiguo nodded, and slowly opened the school gate.

Zhang Yang came to him and said with a smile: "Hello Principal Chen, my name is Zhang Yang, and I am from Jiangcheng!" He stretched out his hand Chen Aiguo glanced at his hand, he didn't mean to shake hands with him at all, straightened his coat and said in a low voice: "It's snowing outside, sit in the house"

Chen Aiguo's home is in a room next to the school gate, which is close to the school gate, and he usually works as a communication room.

The steel pot on the indoor stove is steaming, "There is a pot of white in it, except for a tattered chair, an equally tattered desk, which is a one-meter-wide small bed, Zhang Yang The three of them sat down next to each other on the small bed, although Zhang Yang will not meet, judging from Chen Aiguo's performance, this person is not easy to approach, Zhang Daguan has been in the system for several years, and he has already had a certain experience in interpersonal relationships For Chen Aiguo, a person with a strange temperament, If you want to get closer to each other, you must find a topic that interests him, and it is estimated that it is not possible to take out the photos as soon as they come up.

Zhang Yang said: "Principal Chen, we have two things to do this time, the first thing is that I know a Hong Kong philanthropist, she wants to help build some schools in the mainland, and Chunyang County on the other side of Qingtai Mountain has already helped build more than 10 Hongqi primary schools. She asked me to help find a suitable site for the project, is Principal Chen interested in improving the school's teaching conditions? ”

Jiang Liang looked at Zhang Yang curiously, this guy's cultivation has really improved a lot, and he knows what to say.

Chen Aiguo has devoted his energy to elementary school all his life, and the topic of publicity really aroused his interest, and he said in a low voice: "You are talking about Hongqi Primary School, right?" I heard about it when I went to the township for a meeting, but it was Chunyang, and we are not a province here. He didn't quite believe what Zhang Yang said.

Zhang Yang said: "No one said that there must be a primary school in Chunyang, now there are Hongqi schools all over Jiangcheng, and even Ranxi City, Pinghai Province has Hongqi Primary School, the purpose of which is to create school conditions for children in poor mountainous areas as much as possible. ”

Chen Aiguo didn't speak, picked up chopsticks and tossed his sweet potato.

Zhang Yang said: "Principal Chen, if you have no opinion, I will invite her to come over for inspection." ”

Chen Aiguo said: "Besides, what do you have to do with me?" Chen Aiguo's mind is very clear, he remembers what Zhang Yang just said, there are two things to find him, although Chen Aiguo has not had much contact with the outside world, but the age is here, he realized that the olive branch thrown by this young man at the beginning may be to lure himself, there is no free lunch in the world, Chen Aiguo understands this truth.

Zhang Yang said: "Principal Chen, that's the case, I want to inquire about the educated youth who cut the queue back then." ”

Chen Aiguo took down the sweet potato, sealed the furnace door, wiped his hands with a towel and said, "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Yang had to repeat it again.

Chen Aiguo said: "What do you want to inquire?" ”，

Zhang Yang took out the group photo of the educated youth and handed it to Chen Aiguo.

Chen Aiguo took the photo and approached the oil lamp, he looked at it, his eyes were very focused, he fixed it on the photo for a long time, shook his head and said, "The light is too dim to see clearly." ”，

Zhou Shanhu said: "Principal Chen, don't you have a hand lamp?" He picked up the flashlight and helped take the photo, Chen Aiguo looked at him dissatisfiedly and said: "I have glaucoma, and I can't see clearly at night." He handed the photo back to Zhang Yang and said in a low voice: "It's not early, the snow is so heavy outside, I won't leave a few of you to eat." ”

Hearing that Chen Aiguo had issued an eviction order, Zhou Shanhu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang finally found some clues, of course, he would not give up easily, he put away the photo, and said with a smile: "Principal Chen, you can't see the photo clearly" But there is a name you should have heard of, did Xu Changde ever be an educated youth here? ”，

Chen Aiguo said coldly: "I haven't heard of this person, okay, I have to eat." ”

Zhang Yang wanted to say something, Jiang Liang pulled him, Zhang Yang could only hold back the doubts in his heart, the three of them left Shiwa Primary School, behind them! The sound of the iron gate closing sounded, and Chen Aiguo locked the school gate from the inside.

Zhou Shanhu smiled bitterly: "Don't be surprised by the two eldest brothers, he has this temper." ”

Zhang Yang said: "He should know something." ”

Jiang Liang didn't speak just now, he quietly observed the changes in Chen Aiguo's expression on the side, especially when Chen Aiguo saw the photo, his expression looked very stunned and complicated, Jiang Liang was born as a criminal policeman, and he was good at seeing the essence through the phenomenon, he said in a low voice: "I must know, but he doesn't want to say, we can only find a way." Jiang Liang said this, but he couldn't think of any way.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The heavy snow outside is getting heavier and heavier than it stops, and you can't afford to return in the snow in such weather.

Zhou Shanhu invited the two of them to go home to stay overnight, the mountain people were simple and enthusiastic, Zhou Shanhu took out the bacon with a good face and stewed it, and specially killed a chicken to entertain two distinguished guests from other places.

Zhang Yang returned to the car, hugged a box of Moutai wine, and took a few boxes of canned luncheon meat.

Riding the tractor with Zhou Shanhu are his two best buddies, Zhou Shanhu also called them to accompany the guests to drink, these two young men are also surnamed Zhou, the surname Zhou of Xiaoshiwa Village is the first surname, the one in blue clothes is called Zhou Shansong, and the other young man is called Zhou Shanhe, they are all relatives of the same clan.

When the two of them came over, they also had things, "Zhou Shansong brought a salted fish, and Zhou Shanhe brought a pheasant."

Through the conversation, I knew that Zhou Shanhu was an orphan, his mother died in childbirth, when he was five years old, his father met wolves in the mountains again, and when he found it, there was only one gnawed head left, Zhou Shanhu lived with his grandfather, and the grandfather died the year before last, and he was left with one in the family, "There are several uncles and uncles, but none of them care about him, Zhou Shanhu used the tractor left by his grandfather to transport the running points up and down the mountain, although Zhou Youjin is the village party secretary, but it doesn't help him much" but usually tries to take advantage of him, Recently, I want to take the old house left by the old man over, and I want to renovate a new house here for his son to marry Zhou Shanhu didn't say anything, he is almost eighteen years old this year, and he plans to go out and break in.

Zhou Shanhe had studied in middle school in the county and had seen some of the world, and when he saw Zhang Yang holding a box of Moutai wine, he was surprised: "Moutai! Big brother, this is a lot of money, right? ”

Zhang Yang laughed and said: "A friend gave it to me, drinking on a snowy day, you cook today, I will prepare wine, and our brothers will drink him and get drunk."

Zhou Shansong cleaned up the Eight Immortals table, and the emergency light that Zhang Yang brought from the car also came in handy, while several people were busy, Jiang Liang took out a magnifying glass and carefully studied the photo, he suddenly found something, and beckoned to Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, come here!" ”

Zhang Yang walked over, and Jiang Liang pointed to the position in the last row of the photo: "Take a look, take a closer look, is this person Principal Chen?" ”

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned, leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a thin young man standing there smiling very brightly, but he didn't wear glasses, and if he looked carefully, he still found some of Chen Aiguo's silhouette from his appearance" Zhang Yang said: "It's him, that's right, it's him!" He didn't wear glasses, though. ”

Zhou Shanhu also walked over when he heard them talking, looked at the photo, nodded affirmatively, and said, "It's Principal Lian, it turns out that he took a photo with these educated youths." ”

Jiang Liang said: "I can't imagine that he himself is a member of the educated youth. ”

Zhang Yang said: "I'll look for him!" ”

Jiang Liang shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, he must have recognized this photo, since he doesn't want to say anything, it proves that he must have something hidden, you go to him now, it may make things worse" Wait and so on, anyway, let's not leave today, wait until tomorrow." ”

Zhou Shansong walked in with the prepared pheasant and shouted: "The fragrant pheasant is baked!" ”

Zhou Shanhu smiled: "Come, come, let's drink!" ”

There are several big bowls full of eight immortals on the table, and the mountain people are not stingy in terms of hospitality, Zhou Shanhu's face was originally prepared for the New Year, and when the guests came, they took out all the things they were usually reluctant to eat to entertain.

Zhou Shanhu picked up the small black bowl and said, "The three of us welcome the two eldest brothers to the mountains as guests!" ”

Zhang Yang and Jiang Liang raised their glasses and said with a smile: "Dry!" ”

"!" Several people were very bold, and drank the wine in the small bowl together.

Zhou Shansong wiped his lips and said with praise: "Good wine, they all say that Moutai wine is delicious, and I drank it for the first time when I was so big."

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The quality of the wine is secondary, drinking mainly depends on the mood, the wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, I am with you." ”

Zhou Shanhu was busy pouring wine for everyone, "They made another bowl together and began to toast each other, Zhou Shanhu drank a small bowl of wine with Zhang Yang, and sandwiched a pheasant leg for him Although it is a peasant dish, it can be done very authentically, Zhang Yang said: "The craftsmanship is good." ”

Zhou Shanhedao: "Huzi cooks deliciously" Usually he cooks when we drink together. ”

Zhou Shanhu smiled embarrassedly and said: "Foolishly, my parents died early, and they cooked by themselves when they were children, and they have to grow a little after more than ten years." ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the scene where he punched the thief down on the mountain road today: "I see that you are also very sharp in punching, have you practiced kung fu in the past?" ”

Zhou Shanhu nodded: "When I was a child, I practiced lifting with my grandfather, and I knew some wild styles." ”

Zhou Shansong said: "Huzi's kung fu is the best in our village. ”

Zhou Shan Daodao: "Don't talk about our village, even our township can be counted, the tiger can split three bricks with one palm, and can kick off a tree with one kick." ”

Zhou Shanhu blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, let the two big brothers laugh." ”

Zhang Yang and Jiang Liang both laughed, and Jiang Liang said, "It can be seen that you really put down that thief with one punch today." ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "I was naughty when I was a child, and I often fought with people, and every time I came back from a fight, my grandfather would beat me up and say that practicing boxing was not for bullying people, but for physical fitness." ”

Zhang Yang said: "If you don't bully people, you can't be bullied." ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "Big brother, both of you are public husbands, right?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "He's me, I'm not!" ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "What does the eldest brother do?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "I work in Nancy! ”

Zhou Shanhu said: "Nancy? There was an engineering team in front of us in the township that went to Nancy to work, and I almost followed, "No, I'm thinking about waiting for the spring to go over there and find some work for them." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "It's always good for the young man to go out and break through, if you go to Nancy, you can go to the sports committee to find me, and I'll leave the address for you when you go back." ”

Zhou Shanhu nodded excitedly.

…………………………………………”，………………………………………………

A few people were drinking happily, and suddenly there was a coughing sound outside, and Zhou Youjin, the village party secretary, walked over slowly, and Zhou Shanhu saw from the crack in the door that it was his uncle who hurriedly opened the door: "Uncle, why are you here?" Please take a seat in the room! ”

Zhou Youjin entered the house, took off his hat and dusted off the snow, and deliberately pretended to be surprised: "Huzi" There are so many people in the family, I knew that I wouldn't come. ”

Zhang Yang doesn't have much of a good impression of the branch secretary of this city painting, and it can be seen from his performance that this guy smelled the fragrance and came to drink wine, but Xiaoshiwa Village is the boundary of people after all, and it should be polite, Zhang Yang smiled: "Zhou Zhishu, hurry up, sit down, sit quickly, on a cold day, drink a glass of wine to warm up."

Zhou Youjin said how embarrassing it was, but he sat down in Zhou Shanhu's position, Zhou Shanhu quickly brought him a small black bowl and poured a bowl of wine, Zhou Youjin didn't wait for others to greet him, he picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Excuse me, I'll punish myself." After a sip, he drank most of it, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of a chicken neck, squinted his eyes and said, "Good wine!" Moutai, right? ”

Jiang Liang said with a smile: "As soon as I heard it, I knew that Zhou Zhishu was an expert in drinking. He opened a box of cigarettes, pulled out one and handed it over.

Zhou Youjin politely took it, first gave Jiang Liang a bright spot, and then lit it himself, and wrapped it vigorously for a few sips, this good cigarette and good wine is very energetic. Zhou Youjin said: "Huzi, hurry up and toast the two distinguished guests!" I'm so ignorant, I want to talk about you."

Zhou Shanhu nodded, went to serve Zhang Yang wine, Zhang Yang smiled: "No, where are there so many rules, let's drink as much as you like, just be happy." ”

Jiang Liang took the initiative to have a drink with Zhou Youjin, dropped the wine bowl and said, "Secretary Zhou, are you familiar with Principal Chen?" ”

Zhou Youjin smoked. Smoke said: "You're talking about Chen Aiguo, right?" ”

Jiang Liang nodded.

Zhou Youjin said: "He is not our local, he was also a rural educated youth, when he first came to our Xiaoshiwa Village, he was also an activist, and later because he spread reactionary critique by the township to criticize, for his things" My father was not less criticized back then, and he was locked up in the township for a while, and the whole person was bored after coming back, and then the educated youth returned to the city, and everyone else left, only he did not leave, saying that there were no relatives at home" A person stayed here to set up a primary school, and my father helped him a lot, because he was a foreign surname, and the people in the village bullied him, every time it was my father who helped him out of the siege. After becoming a primary school, he was very serious about substitute teaching, and gradually won the respect of the villagers, but his temper became more and more eccentric, except for seeing the smiling faces of the students, he ignored us villagers, probably because he looked down on us mountain people. Zhou Youjin took another sip of wine and said, "What's the matter, did you go to him?" Did you hit a nail? Chen Aiguo is like that when he sees everyone, he ignores him, don't be like him. ”，

Zhang Yang said: "Zhou Zhishu" Have you heard of Wang Junyao? ”

Zhou Youjin shook his head and said: "I've said it, when they came here, I happened to be outside, these educated youths are all from the city, and they also look down on us countrymen" Chen Aiguo knows this matter best, "If you ask him, he must know." ”，

Although Zhou Youjin was very hungry for wine, the amount of wine was not very good, and after drinking three bowls of wine, he began to talk nonsense" Zhou Shanhu finally persuaded him to leave, and when he left, Jiang Liang took a bottle of Moutai and asked him to take it away, and stuffed the remaining box of cigarettes into his pocket, and Zhou Youjin left satisfied.

After Zhou Shanhu helped Zhou Youjin to leave, his two buddies began to be uneven, Zhou Shansong said: "I have never seen such an uncle, Huzi is left with this broken house, and he still wants to leave?" Also the party secretary. ”

Zhou Shanhedao: "The fart party secretary knows that he is greedy for small and cheap" is not because the prestige of the old party secretary is there, who will elect him. ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "Let's drink, don't mention unhappy things."

They drank until eleven o'clock in the evening that night, Zhou Shansong and Zhou Shanhe left staggeringly, the snow outside still did not stop, Zhou Shansong gave his big bed to Zhang Yang and Jiang Liang, and Zhang Daguan had the experience of sharing the bed with Jiang Liang.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The snowy night in the mountain village was very cold, and the quilts of Zhou Shanhu's house were very old, and the warmth was very poor, Jiang Liang covered the quilt and covered the coat on it, but he still felt cold, squeezed to Zhang Yang's side, and Zhang Yang said: "I said why are you sticking to me so close?" ”

Jiang Liang said: "Squeeze and warm." ”，

Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile and said: "You said that we sleep in the same bed, will someone say that we are engaged in style problems when it spreads out in the future?" ”

Jiang Liang couldn't help laughing when he heard him say this, he sighed and said: "This snow is endless, and there is no mobile phone signal in the mountain, shall we leave tomorrow or stay?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Let's figure this matter out first, that Chen Aiguo has a too strange temper, why don't you just walk over to that little thing, what's not to say?" ”

Jiang Liang said: "I think this person has been stimulated in the past. ”

Zhang Yang said: "I still can't sleep, why don't we go to school again?" ”

Jiang Liang said: "If you want to go, I won't go on a cold day." ”

Zhang Yang sat up.

Jiang Liang saw that he was really going to go, and reminded him: "The snow is so heavy, you better not go, people will have already slept at this time, if you get lost" This barren mountain and wild mountains, where can I find you?" ”，

Zhang Yang smiled: "I'm not going to school, I'm going to urinate"

"Damn! There is a lot of urine on the lazy donkey. ”，

Zhang Yang said: "It's not grinding today, it's going to bed with you Director Jiang." ”

Jiang Liang laughed.

Zhang Yang went out of the gate in the dark, and when he came outside, the snow had accumulated more than half a foot thick, and he brushed the big tree, only to feel that it was a pleasure to urinate in the snow. The snowy night in the mountain village was very quiet, only the sound of falling snow was heard, Zhang Yang unconsciously remembered the eccentric Chen Aiguo, how to make him speak?
