My wife and I went back to our hometown to visit relatives this time, and got off the train in the provincial capital, instead of asking comrades-in-arms and classmates from the local garrison to ask for a bus to take us home as usual, but went to the long-distance bus station to buy tickets and take the bus to go home by ourselves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info a person spends dozens of yuan, and it takes about two hours to get to the door, so as not to add trouble to others. However, I was going to stay in the county seat for a day when I went back this time, and Yang Quanxing, director of the county government office, was my classmate in high school and a comrade-in-arms who took the same train as me to serve in the army. Fifteen years ago, he changed his career from the position of deputy director of the political department of the regiment, first as deputy director of the county government office, and later as director. When he was in the army, we had a good relationship, and we kept in touch after he changed jobs. He also called me a few days ago and told me that he was about to take a back seat, and this year he bought a piece of land near the county seat and built a new house, so that I must go to see his new home when I go home and pass by the county seat. Yang Quanxing also told me on the phone that my classmate Wang Zan is now mixing well in a city not far from our hometown, and has asked him many times about my situation and wants to meet him when I visit my home. After I was transferred from a grassroots unit to Beijing, he went to the leading organs of the army in Beijing to look for me, and at that time he was engaged in a small business in the county town and asked me if the troops had any waste materials to dispose of. Because of the influence of the "leftist" ideology at that time, I did not know in my mind what the difference was between petty business and speculation, and I lacked the enthusiasm with which he should have received him, and he never contacted me again, and we did not see each other for twenty-five or six years. I agreed to meet Wang Zan in the county seat, and proposed to Yang Quanxing that my classmate Liang Yuxiang, who was at the same table when he was in high school, lived in the countryside near the county seat, and if possible, I would also invite him to the county seat to meet with me. After I joined the army, I exchanged letters with Liang Yuxiang several times, but later cut off contact. Yang Quanxing said that he and Liang Yuxiang also knew each other, but they didn't have a lot of contact, but they should be able to find him.

The autumn breeze on the land of the Central Plains has made the September climate neither hot nor cold, and the leaves of the poplar trees on both sides of the road crash against each other in the breeze, as if to applaud the wanderers who have returned home after a long time.

The bus was running on the wide road, and I felt that the air in my hometown seemed to contain stimulants, and although I was more excited on the train last night and didn't get a good night's rest, I was still relaxed and sleepy. My lover has lived in the city for a long time and does not go out of the city, and I feel new to everything in the wild, and I keep pointing and asking this and that.

The car left the national highway and headed for the feeder road leading to the county seat. At a bend in the corner, suddenly "Bang! The driver hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and I felt as if the car was on a washboard road, giggling and walking forward for more than ten meters, and stopped on the side of the road. A young man sitting next to me said, "The car had a flat tire, but fortunately the car was not fast, otherwise it would have to overturn." ”

A middle-aged woman sitting next to the aisle, because she was defenseless when she braked suddenly, leaned forward, hit her head on the corner of the back of the seat in front of her, and a cut in her forehead, bleeding profusely. The driver was a young man with a simple face, he didn't care about getting on the car, so he quickly found a towel to tie up the wound of the middle-aged woman, and instructed the conductor to go down to intercept the car heading for the county seat, and asked her to accompany the middle-aged woman to the county hospital to bandage the wound. At this time, the passengers got off the bus one after another, some went to the fields to "conveniently", and some ate breakfast next to the bus.

The conductor kept waving to the cars heading for the county seat on the side of the road, but none of them would stop, and then she simply stood in the middle of the road. A white Hyundai sleeper drove by, and the driver saw that honking was useless, so he slowly pulled over to the side of the road and stopped. The conductor explained the reason to the people in the car, and when he saw the person driving the car, he nodded, said "thank you", and hurriedly came over to call the middle-aged woman to get on the bus. Before the conductor and the middle-aged woman could walk over, the exhaust pipe spewed out a cloud of white smoke, and the conductor stomped his feet angrily and said "not like words". A young passenger next to him was angry, ran a few steps towards the Hyundai car, shook his hand, and smashed a hard-boiled egg that he had just bitten into the back compartment.

An off-road vehicle with a police license plate voluntarily stopped and pulled away the conductor and the injured middle-aged woman.

The bus changed its tires and was delayed on the road for more than half an hour, and when it arrived at the county bus station, it was close to eleven o'clock in the morning.

After getting off the bus, my lover thought that the pound of Longjing tea we brought to Yang Quanxing was a bit polite, so I looked at the trolley box, and she went to the nearby free market on the side of the road to buy another basket of pomegranates and came back.

"It's so cheap here," my lover said to me with a smile on her face. "An old man said that he had something to do and was in a hurry to leave, so he charged me fifty yuan with a basket of pomegranates."

Yang Quanxing heard that my lover and I were coming back by bus this time, and he complained that I shouldn't have greeted him beforehand, otherwise, he would have personally driven to the provincial capital to pick me up.

Yang Quanxing and I haven't seen each other for a few years, he seems to have aged a lot, his original straight waist has begun to bend, his upper body has leaned forward slightly, his black hair has changed color, and his temples have begun to be stained. A set of Mao suits that are rare on the cadres of the organs, the texture does not look very good, but it is clean and neat, and it fits him very well.

Yang Quanxing greeted me and my lover a few words, pointed to a man and a woman who had been watching us talk behind him, and asked me, "Do you know them?" ”

The woman is in her twenties, well-dressed, beautiful, and born more than 2,000 years early, which will surely cause Xi Shi's jealousy, and I don't seem to have the honor of having a face-to-face friendship with her. The man was in his fifties, five short statures, with little more hair on his head than on an eggshell, and a bright smile on his ruddy face. Without much hesitation, I called out his name: Wang Zan!

I introduced my lover to Wang Zan, who called "brother and sister" enthusiastically, and also introduced the young woman next to him to us: "This is Xiaofang". My lover complimented her and said, "Miss Xiaofang is so beautiful." Then asked Wang Zan: "How old is she in your family?" ”

Wang Zan laughed: "Who is 'the eldest of your family', she is my office director." ”

My lover blushed and kept apologizing to Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang smiled calmly, and didn't seem surprised.
