He remembered his father's old back outside the train station waiting room before leaving, and his eyes became a little moist. When he used to watch Lin Yutang's "The Biography of Su Dongpo", he was very surprised by Su Shi's journey to office, but at that time, he only stayed in the literal sigh, and now he feels the taste. In ancient times, literati left their hometowns to be officials, and what is it like this, after going to work, they are just an ordinary clerk, and they don't know how far away from such a thing as "official". A strong sadness surged into Gu Chi's heart again.

Suddenly, a shout came from the ear, and an eldest sister in uniform was cleaning the train with a dustpan and a broom in her hand. He hurriedly moved his body, moved the two packages under his feet inside, and lifted his feet again, vacating a space under his feet. The package contained a few changes of clothes, and the rest was all books, the only possession available. He stared at the display on the carriage, which showed the speed of the train, the temperature outside, and the sign "Do not spit and throw melon skins" in obsessed with it. The declining numbers indicate the temperature outside, and it tells people that the train is speeding north.

Accompanied by the boring and monotonous sound of the railroad tracks, Gu Chi unconsciously fell asleep. It was a long dream, and the people and events of the past were entangled with each other, and a bizarre story was deduced. I don't know how long it took, the mobile phone in my pocket rang, and when I took it out, I saw that it was an alarm clock, and then I realized that the train was about to arrive at its destination. The alarm clock was set before he went to bed, because he had never been here, for fear of inadvertently sleeping at the site. He thought that if he hadn't seen his professional position on the job list of civil servants that day, he probably wouldn't have known that there was such a place on the map of China in his life.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the loudspeaker of the carriage began to play the beautiful Mandarin of the female announcer: "Good afternoon, passengers! The terminal is just around the corner, so please take your belongings. Welcome to Shanggu, a thousand-year-old city and the birthplace of Chinese civilization, which has always been known as the 'City of Longevity'......"

Furuike was packing his luggage and looking out of the car window. Looking at his watch, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and he had been in the car for nearly ten hours, secretly sighing that it was really a long journey. Dragging two bags of luggage, the ancient pond blended into the surging flow of people. After passing through the underpass, you will find the exit in front of you. Walking through the arched passage, he suddenly stopped and stared motionlessly ahead, the light at the end of the walkway as if it were another world. Then he hurried out of the train station.

As soon as I got out of the station, someone came up to talk to me, and kept asking where I wanted to go and if I needed to take a car. The same seems to be true of train stations in every city in China, where taxi drivers are the most enthusiastic. Gu Chi replied in a slightly stiff Mandarin: "Go to Jiyun!" As soon as the words came out, he became worried, and he was afraid that the drivers in front of him would open their mouths and blackmail themselves as a foreigner. Brother, get in my car, thirty-one! One of the drivers said as he enthusiastically reached out to help with his luggage.

Gu Chi pretended to raise his voice calmly and said, "Can it be cheaper?" "I did this because I wanted to use the eloquence I had cultivated in the public examination interview to trick the driver and tell him not to make random offers.

The driver had already taken a piece of luggage from Gu Chi's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, let's not do it, you can casually ask if the price is high." ”

This is the dialect of this place, a very standard child's voice. Gu Chi listened and didn't say anything else. It's better to be alone and say less, this is a life experience I heard from my parents. There were already three people in the taxi, and there were already people in the front seat, so he had to squeeze into the back seat. Thinking about the fare of thirty yuan, Jiyun County should not be too far away, and there is nothing else. Sure enough, in less than thirty minutes, the car arrived at Jiyun County. Gu Chi told the driver that he had gone to the county government, and the taxi passed through a few cramped streets, turned a few corners, and appeared in front of a compound with a sign erecting "Shanggu Jiyun County People's Government" on it.

After getting out of the car and paying, he walked to the courtyard with his luggage. A uniformed doorman walked out of the guardhouse and asked him what he was doing. Gu Chi was taken aback by Leng Buding, and said confidently that he was a newly admitted civil servant, and he came to report today. The doorman looked up and down at him, and he could see that his heart was furious. Maybe it was the foreign accent that made people suspicious, and after staring for a while, I asked Gu Chi to fill in the visit information on the entry and exit registration form, or let him in. Gu Chi went directly to the duty room on the first floor of the county government building, but the people inside didn't know about recruiting civil servants at all, and they called the leaders and said they didn't know. Gu Chi's heart instantly cooled, and he thought to himself, could it be that he made a mistake? Hurriedly took out the notice printed on the Internet from his bag, reconfirmed the information, and found that the names of the places and celebrities were correct, and the hanging heart was put down. Since the receiving unit didn't know about it, he first went to the department responsible for recruiting civil servants to inquire, and he pondered how it should be done. So, I asked the specific address of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and went straight with my luggage.

When I arrived at the Personnel Department of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, there were already a man and a woman standing inside, also carrying large and small luggage. It turned out to be the same batch of civil servants hired, and everyone was asking about registration. A young woman is sitting in front of her office and is on the phone. After waiting for a while, she hung up the phone and told everyone that they would have a meeting at the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau tomorrow morning, and then they would notify all units to come and collect people. After listening, Gu Chi felt a little unhappy in his heart, and felt that the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau was not doing this well. Since this is the case, it should be explained in the notice, at least you should understand the situation of the three people in front of you first, or notify the unit in advance. Now they don't know each other well, so what's the matter with just one night? It is said that the development of the north is slow, and it turns out that it is not without reason. Gu Chi didn't say a word on his lips, but he had some doubts in his heart about whether his original choice was right.

After leaving the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the three of them quickly chatted, and in the end, there were many topics among their peers, and the more they talked, the more jubilant they became. The man's name is Donnie Yen, but he doesn't look like a man at home in Shandong, he is thin, not too tall, and the whole person looks very elegant. The position he was admitted to was also the Jiyun County Government Office, and he would be his colleague in the future, Gu Chi thought a little happy, as if he had met an old acquaintance in another country. The woman's name is Fan Xixi, and her home is in Chongqing, but she speaks standard Mandarin. People can't help but wonder why a girl who is supposed to speak with a thick Sichuan accent has a faint childish voice. Gu Chi was accustomed to the dialect of his hometown, and suddenly heard someone speak with a "er" rhyme from time to time, and he immediately felt quite good.

It's already lit up outside, and the weather in May on the solar calendar, this small city in the north hasn't really warmed up, and you can still feel a little cool after nightfall. The three of them were unaccompanied, so they found a restaurant with more diners, and prepared to fill their stomachs before discussing. The room was almost full, all speaking in an unfamiliar dialect. The three of them sat in the corner, and Donnie Yen asked if he wanted a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou. Guchi drinks averagely, and when they meet for the first time, they don't know the depth of the other party, so they don't dare to agree rashly, just say whatever, whatever.

Fan Xixi is more consistent with the image of the Sichuan girl, a little less restrained, a little more open, and said with a smile, you boys just drink some bars, I want a cup of yogurt. Between the words, two faint dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, a few locks of willow sea were placed on his forehead, and his hair was tied into a ponytail with a colored leather band, and the whole person looked very sunny. Gu Chi had no intention, but after looking at it a few more times, he suddenly became a little shy, because he liked the girl's outfit the most. During the banquet, I asked for a pork head meat, a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, and a plate of bean sprouts.

Three people and three dishes are just right, and there are more for fear of waste. Gu Chi thought that Chongqing people love to eat chili peppers, so he ordered a spicy fried chicken, for fear that it would not suit the girl's taste. Erguotou is very rushed, far less delicious than the light and elegant low-alcohol wine in his hometown, which should be regarded as the difference between the north and the south, and further north to the Mongolian wine has a higher degree, and to Russia it is directly Volga. A cup of forty-five degrees Niulan Mountain went down, Gu Chi felt a little hot all over his body, usually drinking here, the whole person will be a little excited, today I don't know why, there is a little sadness in the bottom of my heart. It was his first meal in this small northern town, and after tonight, it would all start again. Thinking that there are so many strangers like himself, the loneliness of being uprooted in his heart is a little less. One pound of Niulanshan was exactly two cups per person, and Gu Chi felt a little dizzy. After the meal, I was about to take out my wallet from my underwear pocket to pay, but I didn't find it after touching it for a long time, thinking that someone had stolen it on the road. Then, I remembered to put my wallet in my luggage before leaving. He was about to look for it, and found that Donnie Yen had already settled the bill for the waiter, and immediately felt a little embarrassed, after all, they were not very familiar with each other, which made it a little awkward to treat people. Zixian was very cool, and said with a smile that he would invite this meal.

Walking out of the restaurant, the wind was blowing outside, Gu Chi felt a cold, and inadvertently tucked his collar, thinking that it was true that the geography book said that the spring in the north was windy and sandy. So, the three of them carried their luggage, found a nearby hotel to live in, and made an appointment for tomorrow.

In the morning, the three of them ate casually and walked towards the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. When I arrived at the personnel department, it was a little early, and the staff asked me to wait in the conference room. It didn't take long for dozens of people to gather inside, all of whom were newly recruited civil servants in Jiyun County this year. Men and women, large and small, many of them are strangers with strange accents. Gu Chi was surprised, he didn't expect that the public examination fever had reached such a level, and a small county town could attract high-achieving students from all over the country.

The conference room became chaotic, and it felt like it was almost there, and two staff members came in. One of the middle-aged men took a seat at the front desk, smiled and waved to make everyone quiet, and then paused and said, "Good morning, everyone!" First of all, congratulations to all of you for officially becoming a national civil servant! Some comrades may come from other provinces and have traveled long distances to support the construction of Jiyun, and we warmly welcome this. You are all elites who have been selected through layers of tests, and they are all talents who are one in a hundred, and the future is limitless. However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very backbone. You are all very young and have not had enough life experience and experience, and it is normal that when you go to work, you may find that many situations are not what you thought they would be. Everyone must quickly change their thinking, learn more from their old colleagues, adapt to their own work as soon as possible, give full play to the expertise they have learned, and make some achievements as soon as possible. This is the end of today's meeting, we have informed all units, and everyone can go and report now. ”

As soon as the words ended, the conference room burst into warm applause. Gu Chi slapped his palms crackling, and he always felt that there was an excitement in the room, and everyone might have some kind of expectation for a new job and a new unit.
