Wang Hongju told Principal Han that he wanted to return to Beijing, and he asked the school to agree to his resignation and immediately arrange for another teacher to take his place. President Han expressed great understanding of Wang Hongju's request to return to his hometown to work, but did not immediately agree. Seeing that the school was slow to give him an answer, Wang Hongju wrote a formal resignation application and handed it to President Han. President Han took Wang Hongju's resignation application and said: "You are a party member and cadre, an organized person, and your personal work must be arranged by the party. Your resignation or job transfer can not be decided by yourself, you can only reply after the study and consideration of the organization, your resignation application I have no right to approve at this level, I have to go through the procedure to report to the bureau leaders, the bureau leaders are also busy all day long, they can immediately study your affairs I can't say, you wait patiently for a few days! The most important thing for you now is to do your teaching well. ”

Wang Hongju is like an arrow, but Director Han's words are also reasonable, he can only wait patiently.

Lin Nanhui knew that Wang Hongju was going back to Beijing, but his heart was sad for several days. He regarded Wang Hongju, an old comrade-in-arms, as his best brother; He subconsciously regarded Wang Hongju as his niece and son-in-law, and he felt that he and Wang Hongju and Gillian were a close family; He never imagined that one day Wang Hongju would leave them; He was sad that Wang Hongju didn't take his friend seriously; He even felt that Wang Hongju returned to Beijing to avoid Gillian and no longer wanted to be responsible for her; Although he knew that his idea was selfish, he still couldn't accept Wang Hongju's move to return to Beijing! So he deliberately ignored Wang Hongju, and no longer asked him to eat and drink with him. Wang Hongju saw that Lin Nanhui was resistant to him, and he also saw that Lin Nanhui was hiding his dissatisfaction with himself with a cold expression, and he felt that it was necessary to communicate with this old friend and explain the reason why he wanted to go back to Beijing to eliminate the misunderstanding between them.

After school that day, Wang Hongju came to Lin Nanhui's dormitory, where Lin Nanhui was squatting in front of a kerosene stove to cook.

"Drink! Lao Lin, what do you do deliciously? The fragrance goes straight to the nose! ”

Lin Nanhui heard Wang Hongju's voice and said without even raising his head: "What I made today is delicious, but I don't have your share!" ”

"Yo! That's how you talk to your old comrades? ”

Lin Nanhui just lowered his head to cook and didn't pay attention to him anymore.

Wang Hongju said happily: "You didn't cook my food, but I brought you good wine and delicious roast suckling pig!" He shook the thing in his hand in front of Lin Nanhui's eyes.

"I don't eat! Keep it for yourself! Lin Nanhui said in a angry tone.

"Lao Lin, I know you've been angry with me recently, and I'm here to make amends for you today, even if I beg you to drink with me? Don't you want to give your old leader some face? ”

Lin Nanhui is a cold-hearted man, he saw Wang Hongju begging him, so he stood up and asked Wang Hongju: "My old leader, do you still regard me as a close friend?" ”

"Of course!"

Lin Nanhui smiled, "That's good! You go into the house and drink some tea, I'm cooking an old hen, and we'll eat it together when it's cooked! ”

Seeing Lin Nanhui so cheerful, somehow, Wang Hongju felt sour in his heart, what a good friend, this is a chivalrous person who can take out his heart and show it to his friends! He felt that he was going to leave and abandon this good friend, and he felt very guilty in his heart.

Lin Nanhui cooked the old hen, he scrambled an egg and brought it up, Wang Hongju also put wine and roast suckling pig on the table, and the two brothers drank wine. At first, neither of them spoke, but after three rounds of drinking, Wang Hongju finally couldn't hold it back, he poured a glass of wine for Lin Nanhui, "Old Lin, you're not happy if I want to go back to Beijing, right?" I see that your mouth has been pouting for the past two days, and you can hang a bottle! ”

Lin Nanhui nodded and replied: "Yes, I am reluctant to leave your very good friend, I am a very emotional and righteous person, and it is enough to have a confidant in life, what more can I ask for?" When I heard that you were leaving here, I was really saddened! ”

"Alas! I can't help it! Look at the way I've been messing around lately, I'm not going to be here, I'm in a bad mood! And that Li Qiming became our top boss, do you think I can have a good life in the future? ”

"You just want to be an official and a leader, you want to take care of everything, be a good person, we don't provoke anyone, we don't get close to anyone, isn't it good to live a good life?"

"You know I'm not that kind of person! I am a person with ideals and pursuits, and all my starting points are to do my work better. ”

"I know you're a man of true temperament, and you've always thought you didn't listen to anyone! I can't tell you the truth. Drink! ”

Lin Nanhui took a big sip of his wine glass. "You must know that I, Lin Nanhui, treat you as my own brother, I have no relatives here, and I came to this place to join you. I'm older than you, but I rely on you as my own, I never hide anything from you in my heart, I'm happy to tell you, I'm angry and tell you, I can't have anything to do with you first. I originally thought that our brothers could be confidants for life, but I didn't expect you to get rid of me and leave! After Lin Nanhui finished speaking, he glared at Wang Hongju fiercely, and his eyes were red.

Wang Hongju felt that he was suddenly half shorter under Lin Nanhui's gaze, and he muttered unjustifiably; "It's not that I don't want you as a friend anymore, I, I'll come back and forth often in the future!" He hurriedly took a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment.

Lin Nanhui asked Wang Hongju another question: "Let me ask you, what should you do if you leave Gillian now?" ”

Wang Hongju said: "Gillian is an adult, she has to go by herself, and she still has parents and you, an uncle!" I can help her temporarily, but I can't help her for the rest of my life! ”

Lin Nanhui was very dissatisfied when she heard Wang Hongju say this, "I know you can't help Gillian for a lifetime, but now you can't go." ”

"Why?"

"Gillian just gave birth to a child, you are a father, and you run back to Beijing, so you don't want their mother and son, what does this make others say about Gillian? Gillian was not happy when she left this child, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand this blow! Although this is a fake play, you have to sing this play to the fullest before leaving! I know you're like this now, so I might as well not ask you to help Gillian in the first place! ”

Lin Nanhui's words pierced Wang Hongju's heart, and he wanted to refute Lin Nanhui but couldn't find a reason.

"Brother Hongju, can't you really see that Gillian is still secretly in love with you now, you are her psychological pillar, and you will kill her forever!"

"No, it's that serious?"

"I can see that if Gillian leaves you and she doesn't seek death, she will live like a waste!"

"Gillian knows that I won't marry her, and she understands me. I have a woman I love, and that woman is destined to stay with me for the rest of my life. I'm going to get married to the woman I love for the Spring Festival next year, so I have to leave here, and you say that if I don't leave Hainan Island, then what should I do? Wang Hongju spread his hands helplessly.

"If only I knew what to do! But I still remember what you once said: you have to live and work in Hainan for the rest of your life, even if you die in the future, you will be buried in this red land! Now you're a deserter! ”

"Yes, you can scold me, I'm a deserter!"

The two of them drank silently, and they both felt that there was nothing to say.

Wang Hongju drank a little too much, and after he came out of Lin Nanhui's dormitory, he was so hot that he opened his clothes and walked slowly in the intoxicating evening breeze.

Wang Hongju was upset at this time, Lin Nanhui's words when he was drinking just now touched him a lot, he felt that going back to Beijing now did have a great negative impact on Gillian, and he also really felt Lin Nanhui's deep brotherhood towards him. Wang Hongju seriously thought about whether it was necessary for him to leave Hainan now, and whether it would be better if he returned to Beijing two years later. At this point his sanity prevailed; But when he remembered Huang Tingting's eyes that longed for him to go home, the warmth of being with his parents and family, and the unpleasant working environment here, he was aroused by his strong desire to return to Beijing soon! What exactly should I do? This night, Wang Hongju had insomnia.

In the office of the leader of the county education bureau, Li Qiming got Wang Hongju's resignation application, looked at it casually twice, and threw it aside; if someone else proposed to resign, he would quickly sign and approve it, but he would never approve Wang Hongju's resignation application. Because Li Qiming had no good impression of Wang Hongju from the moment he met him, and in his eyes Wang Hongju was a speculative revolutionary bourgeois element! After President Han learned to him about Wang Hongju's disrespect for him, he was very angry, he wanted to put this Wang Hongju under his own hands and educate and reform it well, and he wanted to get rid of the arrogance of this somewhat arrogant bourgeois intellectual who looked down on the workers and peasants!

Li Qiming picked up the phone and called Principal Han's phone, and he said on the phone, "Principal Han? Hello! I'm Li Qiming. I have read Wang Hongju's resignation application, please tell him that I did not approve this resignation application, why I don't approve it, you said to him: First, your school is currently short of teachers, and no one can resign in order not to affect the teaching work. 2. Wang Hongju is a party member and cadre, and his personal work must be subordinated to the needs of the revolution and the arrangements of the party organization; In the name of the party committee of the school, you want Wang Hongju to subordinate his personal interests to the interests of the collective, and stay in school to work with peace of mind. Third, if he resolutely resigns, you tell him that people can leave, but their party organization ties cannot be transferred, and if he leaves school, he will automatically leave the party organization. You have to explain these three points clearly to Comrade Wang Hongju, and of course, you can also add the fourth and fifth points, in short, you must give a good reason to keep him in your school! ”

When Principal Han conveyed the opinions of his superiors to Wang Hongju, Wang Hongju shook his head helplessly and said: "Principal Han, the teachers of our school are not nervous, the reasons you said are really beyond my expectations!" ”

"Comrade Wang Hongju, as a party member, you have to obey the arrangements of the party organization in your work, and now the school needs you, let's talk about your resignation later."

"Well, as a party member, I unconditionally obey the decisions of the organization." Wang Hongju turned around and left.

When Wang Hongju was alone and distressed because he couldn't return to Beijing, Lin Nanhui took the initiative to comfort him. Wang Hongju said to Lin Nanhui: "You are happy this time!" ”

"People's hearts are long, and I'm not happy if you can't go home! But it's fate, you have to admit it! ”

Wang Hongju said: "I hurry up and write a letter to my family, it seems that my marriage with Huang Tingting is going to be postponed." ”
