Three years of high school, like the clouds on the horizon, passed in a blink of an eye, and unconsciously, Qiu Zichuan ushered in the college entrance examination.

For three years, Qiu Zichuan endured the pain and loss in his heart, took firm steps, and forged ahead towards his goal step by step.

The night after he skipped class that night, the head teacher called him out of the classroom.

On the playground, the head teacher who was over fifty years old did not criticize him at all! Just tell him, I visited your home, your mother is a very literate person, you are a very sensible child, you must be admitted to university! You have to fight for yourself!

Looking at the head teacher's eyes staring at him, especially that tone, Qiu Zichuan understood the meaning behind this sentence! Shui Xiaolin's mother must have found her homeroom teacher.

Before returning to the classroom, the head teacher told him that now the country's policy is enlightened step by step, no matter who you are, as long as you have good studies, be honest, and pursue your career, you will definitely have great hope in the future!

From the last words of the head teacher, Qiu Zichuan understood the words that the head teacher did not say!

From now on, learning, in addition to learning or learning, my future must be affordable! I must make my mom proud of herself! Other than that, Qiu Zichuan didn't think about anything anymore!

When the results of the college entrance examination came out, Qiu Zichuan got his wish and was admitted to a prestigious university in Shanghai with an absolute high score, majoring in architecture, which he had always longed for.

Or when Wu Weidong told him about those houses and courtyards, it turned out that they were all his grandfather and grandfather, every Sunday, he liked to go around alone, look at those ancient courtyards, look at those Western-style small buildings, he felt that they were so beautiful! It's so beautiful! Such magnificence! He imagined what it must have been like for his grandparents, grandparents, parents, and uncles to live in it. Also, he felt that there must be a lot of stories in it, but he didn't know what kind of story it should be at that time.

Later, I heard from my mother that the university has an architecture department, which specializes in designing various houses. After listening to it at that time, Qiu Zichuan thought how great it would be if he could design a house in the future!

In the praise of teachers and classmates, in the excited laughter of his mother and sister, Qiu Zichuan, who had never left the small county town of Tanchi in his life, boarded the southbound train with a vision for the future.

……

Five years later, Qiu Zichuan, who graduated from university, returned to Tanchi and was assigned to work in the county construction committee.

The county construction committee does not have a professional department engaged in design, Qiu Zichuan's ideal place is the city's waterfront architectural design institute, but that needs a relationship, Qiu Zichuan's is silent in the small county town of Tanchi, not to mention that it is a family that belongs to the black five categories and cannot produce cadres for most of the time after liberation, and it is unrelated in the department in the waterfront city, and the "relationship" is simply an extravagant hope!

Although he graduated from the architecture department of a prestigious university, he studied architectural design, and he excelled in all his studies. But he could only obey the arrangement and return to his Tanchi and return to Tanchi County, which is under the jurisdiction of Binshui City. He was then assigned to the county construction committee, a department that was definitely related to architecture, but there was absolutely no need for architectural designers.

But Qiu Zichuan did not complain at all, first in the engineering department, then in the planning department, Qiu Zichuan started as an ordinary staff member, and he gave full play to the knowledge he learned in every job. Sweep the floor, go down to the street and the construction site, diligent, serious, he works happily!

Because, in the dictionary of the mature Qiu Zichuan, the first thing written is: If you are optimistic, you will have a future! You complain, you wait to perish! Of course, this was on the day he received the assignment notice, and when he returned home in frustration, his mother sued him.

That day, my mother also said: It's hard to stop walking without suitable shoes!

Qiu Zichuan, who has been living at the bottom of the society and a lonely family, but has a mother who is very cultured and has a strong character, has become Qiu Zichuan's initial wealth in society!

After hard work and several trainings, Qiu Zichuan stood out among a large group of peers and was highly recognized by the leaders of the county construction committee.

This is not an ordinary job, it involves new and old planning, the advantages and disadvantages of the project, the department, and more importantly, it also involves civil disputes, which gives Qiu Zichuan more space to display his talents, but at the same time, it also gives Qiu Zichuan a bigger and more difficult challenge! But in the same way, he also gave Qiu Zichuan a great opportunity to enter the field of vision of the county leaders as soon as possible!

Outstanding talent, broad vision, advanced thinking, capable and steady style of doing things, good at balancing interests of coordination literacy, coupled with a famous university degree, Qiu Zichuan was soon unanimously appreciated by several major leaders of the county! Two years later, he was directly promoted from the position of director of the Urban Construction Management Office of the County Construction Committee to the deputy director of the County Construction Committee.

Stepping on this step, Qiu Zichuan has just turned 29 years old!

During this period, he and Zeng lived in a large compound in the past, and later fell in love and married Qu Mengmeng, a little sister next door who graduated from the same university as him.

A year after the marriage, the lovely son came into this world!

Successful and famous at a young age, happy family!

But Qiu Zichuan's pace of progress did not stop there, or lingered slightly! And it only took two years for Qiu Zichuan, who ranked last among several deputy directors but had outstanding achievements in supervising the work of the deputy director in the position of deputy director of the county construction committee, and took office as the director of the county construction committee in one step.

At this time, in this land where Qiu Zichuan grew up, in this ancient city with inextricable emotions with his family, Qiu Zichuan's life continues to exude spring-like vitality and golden autumn harvest.

Qiu Zichuan, who presided over the overall work of the Construction Committee, has made great achievements after taking office! , a reasonable old street renovation plan, a new city plan with advanced awareness, a perfect old city protection plan, and supporting measures for the construction of investment and replacement and operating resources have been launched one after another. Pieces of dilapidation began to disappear, and new buildings began to rise from the ground! Modern neighborhoods are constantly being presented!

But Qiu Zichuan, whose career has been smooth sailing, still has his introverted nature, and he is still low-key, and he remembers what his mother said when he was just promoted to the position of deputy director of the county construction committee:

Remember why your father named you Zichuan, people are very small, and time passes in a blink of an eye!

Down-to-earth, be kind to others, and pursue a career! Qiu Zichuan is still advancing!

The urban construction work of Tanchi County soon began to come to the front of the whole waterfront city, and the Provincial Construction Committee held the site meeting of the old city renovation in Tanchi for two consecutive years. The city leaders began to set their sights on Tanchi and Qiu Zichuan!

After only three years in the position of director of the county construction committee, the city leaders directly asked Qiu Zichuan to come to the city and serve as the deputy director of the municipal construction committee in charge of urban planning!

Let Qiu Zichuan's life and career show a new spring!

At this time, Qiu Zichuan had just turned thirty-four years old!

……

The day before leaving Tanchi, Qiu Zichuan, who had finished his work, came to the March River, and the transformation here has long been included in Qiu Zichuan's vision, a modern county town, can not be without a few large green spaces, can not be without a few large parks, not to mention that there are natural conditions here! But he couldn't think of the best plan! moving, he can't bear to ruin its original appearance! If he doesn't move, he can't explain his responsibilities in the times!

Now that I can finally be freed, how to move? How to transform? How to develop? Leave it to them!

Walking on the bank of the March River, Qiu Zichuan, at this time, I think more about Shui Xiaolin!

Is she okay?

Soon after the breakup, Shui Xiaolin's mother was still not at ease! As soon as the winter vacation started, Shui Xiaolin was sent to the middle school in the city to study. Only on Saturday did she follow her father back to her home at Tanchi Middle School.

Occasionally, on Sundays at school or on the street, I have met Shui Xiaolin a few times, but every time I see them, they mostly stare at each other for a short time. But then, it was Shui Xiaolin who turned her head and hurried away.

Later, her family moved to the city.

Since then, Qiu Zichuan has never seen Shui Xiaolin again!

It's been 19 years!

I heard that she was assigned to the Waterfront Institute of Technology as soon as she graduated from college, and later married a colleague from the college. Later, I heard that he was divorced again and married to the son of the city leader at that time!

These were all sued by Wu Weidong, who worked in the city. Wu Weidong, who studied medicine, was directly assigned to the municipal hospital as soon as he graduated from university. and Shui Xiaolin, who is also in the waterfront city, has always maintained an old classmate relationship. There were several times when Qiu Zichuan went to the city for meetings, and Wu Weidong also wanted to arrange a meal with Shui Xiaolin. But every time, Qiu Zichuan resolutely refused!

When I heard that the object of Shui Xiaolin's remarriage was the son of the main leader of the city, there was still a very good impression of Shui Xiaolin in my heart, and it was all gone in an instant!

But his wife Qu Mengmeng has been working in the Municipal Taxation Bureau, and her son, who is almost seven years old, is also going to school this time, and he will also go to work in the city this time, and his family will be in the city in the future! Qiu Zichuan thought that the encounter with Shui Xiaolin in the future might be inevitable!

What would it be like to be reunited?
