In the middle of spring in April, the afternoon sun shines through the verdant pine trees in the corridors on the second floor of the old school building, and the shadow of a little pine is reflected on the concrete floor. The spring breeze is like the murmur of a lover, gentle and makes people want to completely melt into this heaven and earth, without thinking about anything. A small gray bird jumped up and down in the branches of the pine tree, chirping happily.

After taking the first step out of the classroom, Lu Jing raised his hand to look at the silver-white Casio watch on his left wrist, April 5, 15:41:05.

Lu Jing saw Teacher Shao waiting by the window and walked over. Shao Qiulan was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, and the full twin peaks on her chest broke the buttons of the shirt tightly, and the light-colored bodice was faintly visible inside. The blue-black leggings wrap around the shapely legs, and the pretty hips are attractive. With her ponytail, she looks bright and beautiful.

"Didn't sleep well last night? Went to play game consoles all night again? Shao Qiulan did not get angry as she imagined, but asked lightly.

In 1996, when Nintendo's game consoles became popular, there were many newly opened game console rooms on Xin'an Road, 500 meters away from No. 4 Middle School. A joystick, a few buttons, and a screen with low definition, about 21 inches. Invest in-game currency to play. Arcade games such as Three Kingdoms, Kombat Ninety-Three, Famous General, and Contra are all the rage.

Many students in Dinghai No. 4 Middle School who are not serious about their careers like to go to the game room on Xin'an Road all night to play games.

Lu Jing touched his nose, he didn't remember if he slept well last night, after seventeen years, how could he remember.

"It's okay!" Lu Jing said vaguely.

Shao Qiulan put the lesson plan on the windowsill, and used her tail finger to brush a strand of soft hair from the corner of her eyes behind Ruyu's soft ear porch.

Lu Jing's eyes jumped, attracted by her coquettish movements. I heard her say: "Lu Jing, you have to put your mind on studying, study hard, what future can you have by playing blindly?" Right! If you really don't want to study, you don't need to go to school to mess around, go outside and play freely, and feel more comfortable. You should think about what I said, is this the truth? ”

"I'll try." Lu Jing scratched his head a little embarrassed, he was indeed a mess in school. In his previous life, he was an unscrupulous straw bale in his studies. Every time, he was the last in the class. It is the poor student of the four middle school students.

Shao Qiulan could naturally see Lu Jing's perfunctory meaning, and sighed, when she was the head teacher of the seventh class of the second grade of high school, Principal Zhou also specially talked to her and asked her to take care of Lu Jing, but he was so unmotivated, Shao Qiulan felt very helpless.

"In last night's English test, you only scored 32 points, and Teacher Fang said that your English foundation is too poor, not as good as junior high school students. You really need to work hard, Lu Jing. ”

The teacher Fang in Shao Qiulan's mouth is the English teacher Fang Qin. Lu Jing's brain floated involuntarily, a short ear-length hair, a pink face and bright eyes, a graceful figure that is difficult for an astringent girl to reach, and a bright and moving young woman.

If the boys of the fourth middle school are asked to vote for the dream lover, Lu Jing is 100% sure, and the whole body is quite tempting, and Fang Qin, who is very easy to become the object of the boy's dream and masturbation, has the ability to win the championship over the three school girls of the fourth middle school.

However, her fate was not very good, and she suddenly swallowed a large amount of anti-Ming medicine at home this summer and died, and she was only 28 years old when she died. At that time, Lu Jing was going to Jiangzhou to study, and vaguely heard that it seemed to be related to her husband.

"I will!" Lu Jing assured again. When he was in high school, his English level was not even as good as that of a junior high school student, but not even as a primary school student. He knew only twenty-six letters plus a few simple words, and the exam was completely reliant on Meng. A 120-point paper can score 32 points, which is a high score in Lu Jing's memory.

Shao Qiulan snorted softly, and Lu Jing, who didn't eat oil and salt and was duplicitous, was extremely dissatisfied, and angrily dropped a sentence, "Next weekend is the midterm exam, so do it yourself!" Pick up the paper clip on the windowsill, step on high heels and leave.

Looking at Shao Qiulan's distant back, Lu Jing touched his nose and shook his head and smiled bitterly. Time is extremely short for him, where does he have the heart to study. April 1996 was a crucial hurdle for Big Brother.

On April 10, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection received a report that Yu Yi, a subordinate of the eldest brother and director of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Minimum Security Department, was shuanggui.

On April 13, Yu Yi was found to be corrupt, embezzlement of public funds and other illegal and criminal acts, and there was a huge amount of 2 million yuan on the books of the Minimum Security Division that was missing. And the materials that Yu Yi confessed were extremely unfavorable to the eldest brother.

On April 14, under the guidance of Vice Minister Han of the Ministry of Supervision, the eldest brother who was conducting research in Shiqiao Town, a subordinate city of Qicheng City, Central Plains Province, was recalled to the capital to be questioned by the Commission for Discipline Inspection to cooperate with the investigation of the case.

In the process of cooperating with the investigation of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the peasant minimum security system implemented by the eldest brother with great efforts has encountered various problems in Shiqiao Town, a pilot town, and most of the peasants have withdrawn from the subsistence allowance.

On April 22, Vice Minister Gong of the Ministry of Civil Affairs went to Shiqiao Town to deal with various problems of the aftermath of the subsistence allowance system.

At the end of April, it was criticized in an internal discussion at the Ministry of Civil Affairs that Big Brother's minimum guarantee system was considered an anachronistic policy.

Until the conclusion of Yu Yi's case on May 23, the 2 million huge amount of money has not been found, although the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also found out that the eldest brother did not engage in corruption, but the failure of the peasant subsistence allowance system implemented by the eldest brother was extremely fatal to his political career. The eldest brother, who is only 29 years old, was originally a dazzling political star in the faction, a promising department-level cadre, but suddenly his career became tortuous and bumpy.

In September 1996, the eldest brother left the position of deputy director of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Minimum Security Department and was transferred to Jiangzhou City, a vice-provincial city in Chubei Province, as deputy mayor, and it took 15 years to re-emerge.

At that time, the superstructure was already full of people, and the eldest brother missed the best opportunity to rise, and also missed the stage to display his political talents.

When he dreamed back at midnight, Lu Jing asked himself more than once, if the eldest brother's subsistence allowance system was successful at that time, would his path still be the same? After all, time has proved that the implementation of the peasant subsistence allowance system is something that the party and the government must do. What the eldest brother did was not wrong, but he promoted this matter when the country's finances were not sufficient, and there was an extremely high risk. During the internal discussion of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was not without basis to conclude that it was "out of place".

At this moment, all Lu Jing's attention must be focused on this event that is enough to affect the entire political career of his eldest brother, rather than to explore the mysteries of trigonometric functions, permutations and combinations, and three-dimensional geometry.

From the general indication of the whole thing, it is a premeditated action to involve the eldest brother in the Yu Yi case. The purpose is to suppress the upward momentum of Big Brother. It is very likely that the driving force behind the scenes is Liu Weijia, deputy director of the Ministry of Supervision's Work Style Correction Office.

Although the eldest brother never said it in the future, during his tenure as executive vice governor of Ludong Province, he had several battles with Liu Weijia, who was the governor at the time, regardless of gains and losses, which made Liu Weijia disgraced, which shows the depth of resentment in the eldest brother's heart.

The warm sunlight shone on Lu Jing's face, making him involuntarily squint his eyes, he turned his back, leaned on the stone railing of the corridor, and looked at the immature faces in the classroom through the bright glass on the poplar carved windows, familiar and unfamiliar. Those school uniforms dominated by blue and blue set off the colors of everyone's youth.

Lu Jing suddenly wanted to smoke.

The classroom where Class 7 is located is on the east side of the second floor of the teaching building, and there are a total of three classrooms nearby, namely Class 5, 6, 7, and 3 classes. At this time, many students walked out of the classroom and came to the corridor to move, chat, and laugh, but no one stayed within one meter of Lu Jing, as if he was concentrated sulfuric acid, and if he got closer, he would be corroded. A few people in Class 7 who could talk to Lu Jing knew that Lu Jing was called out by the head teacher Shao Laohu to give a lecture, and they would not come over to touch his moldy head at this time.

A pair of bright eyes, like bright stars in the night sky, looked at them with concern through the window, interrupting Lu Jing's inexplicable thoughts. There was the usual serenity and softness in those warm eyes.

Lu Jing smiled gently at this beautiful girl and nodded, he recognized her. He has short ear-length hair, a slightly round face, a little baby fat, large and charming eyes, a sweet appearance, and a skin that can be broken by blowing, as white as delicate porcelain.

She is Ding Ling.

Lu Jing remembered that Ding Ling would teach at Huaxia University, a higher education institution in the Republic in the future, and her husband was a securities analyst at a securities company, and he had a very good life.

Ding Ling noticed Lu Jing's smile, smiled shyly, and his eyes seemed to be flowing with light blue waves, and he turned his head and staggered his gaze. There was a slight flush on his face.

Ding Ling's tablemate pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Hey, eyebrows are flirting!" ”

Lu Jing saw that Ding Ling seemed to lower her head even more in the window, and he didn't know what she was talking to at the same table.

That year, he transferred to Jiangzhou, and Ding Ling sent him a beautiful model airplane. It wasn't until a party five years later, by chance, that he learned that there was a letter in the model airplane. A letter from a young girl showing her heart.

Being adored by a beautiful girl is always a pleasant thing.

"It's nice to be back!" Lu Jing sighed softly, and the gloom in his heart seemed to have disappeared a lot because of seeing Ding Ling.

Lu Jing took a deep breath of fresh air, put his hands in the trouser pockets of his gray school uniform, and walked down the somewhat dilapidated staircase, where a crumpled piece of white waste paper was still lying quietly at the corner of the staircase. The spring sunlight shines through the stone holes at the corners, creating a few dappled patterns on the old concrete staircase.

The quiet campus brought Lu Jingzhong news to the long-lost, vigorous and upward reading atmosphere. Lu Jing's thinking is also slowly clear, there are still 4 days to go, the key person Yu Yi will be shuanggui, if everything is a conspiracy against the eldest brother, then the other party must have mastered the evidence of Yu Yi's corruption at this moment, and is just waiting for the right time to launch.

He first needs to get in touch with his eldest brother and have a good talk.

Maple Avenue, the main road of No. 4 Middle School, is a long cement road lined with plane trees. In the breeze of April, there are yellow leaves falling from time to time, dancing with the wind, which is very much the artistic conception of ancient poetry. The cleaner in a blue and white uniform is sweeping the yellow leaves unhurriedly with a yellow bamboo broom, and from time to time he stops to smoke comfortably.

Lu Jing walked briskly to the commissary at the school gate, where there was a pay phone.

In 1996, the mainstream mobile communication tool in China was Ericsson's Chinese digital mobile phone I399. Motorola, which is as heavy as a brick and uses analog signals, has gradually been abandoned by mainstream consumers. Philips, Siemens, Alcatel, Sony, Dopod and other international communication manufacturers have launched their own products to seize the Chinese market after realizing the business opportunities of Chinese digital mobile phones.

At this time, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, which has not yet been spun off, has not yet issued access certificates for the mobile phone industry to domestic electronic enterprises.

Compared with the era of copycat machines in later generations, the price of a mobile phone at this time is simply sky-high, compared with the current salary level, it belongs to the category of luxury, and as a cadre in the ministries and commissions under the State Council of the Republic, it is naturally impossible for the eldest brother to be equipped with a mobile phone at this time.

So Lu Jing's first choice at this time was to call the phone number of his eldest brother's house.

"Beep ------" Listening to the unhurried prompt tone on the other end of the phone, Lu Jing's heart beat violently inexplicably.
