Just after dinner, my mother-in-law said that the community where Tan Song lived was very good, and I suddenly felt that the name was familiar, and it seemed that I had browsed it on the Internet.

So he snickered and went up the stairs and typed the name "Tan Song" in the search box. When I opened it, I was actually a marketing genius, and he was also very socially responsible.

Suddenly, I felt that he could work with me.

Inexplicably, I looked at the form I had written on scratch paper and felt that there was a place to put his name in.

But I don't know what you think, and I don't know when I'll be able to meet you again.

By the way, when I went downstairs a few days ago, I saw that my grandfather's work clothes were broken, and I wanted to help him sew them, but I didn't have a needle and thread. (Besides, because he was wearing too thick, it collapsed.) All of a sudden, I thought the Lutang Hot Spring staff's oily green outfit was particularly beautiful, and you gave him four different sets of clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, okay?

I'll leave it to you.

However, this is not one of the promises we have made.

Today my mom bought me a down jacket, and I was thinking, is it possible that I won't see you until I wear a down jacket?

And I still have a lot of things to do, I didn't go to the family area of the court to visit my grandparents, I didn't go to the family area of the oil bureau to visit my grandparents who took me to pick up stones every week when I was young.

Actually, I followed them and ate - not only did I eat well, but I also learned a lot of knowledge.

At the same time, I love watching them play goalball, and I mischievously say that it is "improved golf".

Every week they would take me on the rocky beaches of the Anchang River, listening to them talk about the "real-life version" of "Geology of China" and the old story of their children being separated from their children when they were imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution.

I also like to sit on the sofa and listen to Grandpa Zheng, who was my Chinese teacher and geology teacher at the time, tell me about the distribution of stones in China's mountains and rivers, after all, he was one of the editors of the textbook "Geology of China" that we used back then.

One of their two-bedroom houses was dedicated to the installation of strange stones from all over the country.

All the stones have names, as well as photos.

Later, he asked me to write poems for the stones, so I chose a stone that looked like a "pug" and wrote that it looked like "Monkey King".

After showing it to him over the weekend, he changed it to me and was very satisfied.

After a while, he said to me, "The pug is on exhibition in Beijing, and the poems you wrote are going to the exhibition with him." ”

Not long after, he happily took out a very good quality "Appreciation of Strange Stones" to show me, "This is the first book about strange stones in the country, and there are two stones in this house in this book." ”

When I came home that month, Grandma Yang put a red stone with "Disney Mickey Mouse" in my school bag. And said, "This piece is also going to the exhibition, you like cartoons, this is Mickey Mouse." ”

After I brought it home, even for many years, I had to bathe Jingshi and coat it with egg whites.

My mother found out and threw it directly at me, and yelled at me, "You don't have a single book in your reading bag now, and you are all carrying stones." ”

I ignored her, retrieved the stones, and placed them in the living room.

Later, she asked my brother Jian to send her to Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Yang's house, and brought them our Mianzhu specialties, so she did not object to me carrying stones, and accompanied me to pick up stones, wash stones, boil stones, and watch me wax the stones and make the base.

Later, when I went back to the countryside one time, I found that she had lost my piece of Rhodiola stone, so I quarreled with her, "It was the stone that I participated in the first strange stone conference in Beijing, why did you lose it for me." What's more, it was given to me by Grandma Yang. ”

The mother didn't say much, and replied loudly: "What is the use of those stones, they are not very good. When you get married, the stone is your dowry. ”

I was so angry that I slammed the door and left.

When I heard from a classmate that Grandpa Zheng was sick, I felt very guilty, so I went to the Mianzhu New Year Painting Museum to buy the word "longevity" and took a bus to send it to him.

At that time, Yongxing changed a lot, after all, it was a high-tech zone.

I basically couldn't find my way to school, so I asked a lot of people to find the home of Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Yang — fortunately, the neighborhood was not demolished.

When I passed the first floor (where I also ate dumplings), I had the courage to go up to the second floor and knock on the door, and he opened the door for me.

After entering the door, he said to me, "Qin Qin, you are finally here." ”

At that time, he should have been in his eighties.

Suddenly, I was about to burst into tears - since I was a child, I was too emotional, so I was afraid to go out and meet anyone.

He kindly pulled me and made me sit on the sofa in the room where the strange stone display case was kept.

I watched as the stones from all over the country, and even some foreign ore specimens (basically including all the ore specimens in the textbooks of the time) were cleaned and placed on the pedestal specially carved for them, each showing its charm.

And then I read these things countless times when I was in school.

At that time, he took each stone and told me about their origins, their composition and use, the mountains and rivers of the motherland, as if he had been there in person.

And that day, he said to me, "I've collected a few more stones in recent years, and I'll show them to you." ”

I'm curious what the new baby is.

We chatted while looking at the stones.

He told me, "He Yanhua drove here a few years ago. ”

I smiled and said, "They all have talents, but I don't, and to this day I don't even use my graduation certificate, not even in junior high school." ”

He was surprised, "Then how did you come to study?"

"When I was in junior high school, I made a bet with my chemistry teacher, Mr. Liao, that I lost, so my graduation certificate was green. ”

He smiled, wanting to continue listening.

So I told you all about the day.

I handed in the paper after ten minutes, he sat at the back of the classroom where I was examining, and as soon as he saw me out of the exam room, he glared at his scary eyes, "Qin Qin, have you checked the exam paper?"

I smiled and said, "Checked." ”

"There are no mistakes. ”

"Nope. ”

He seemed to be smiling, and he didn't know what he meant, so he roared, "If you don't get 100 points, I won't give you a graduation certificate." ”

I thought back to the papers I had checked twice and confidently said, "No way." Absolutely 100 points. ”

However, when the diploma was issued, he stood in the aisle of the teacher's building and did not hand it to me, but saw that other teachers had given me a green diploma. When I opened it, I only scored 99 in chemistry, and my eyes turned red in an instant, and I quickly said goodbye to them and ran to the toilet and cried.

Although I ranked first in the whole grade, more than 60 points more than Qin Juan, who ranked second, I was still sad.

I thought that I would be able to successfully return to the county high school, but God made people and did not.

That day, Grandpa Zheng took my hand and said to me, "Qin Qin, do you remember what I told you when you sat on this sofa before? ”

I suddenly remembered that day, he put my paper "On Diligent Study and Good Inquiry" on letterhead into a brown paper envelope, and wrote the address and name of the editor-in-chief of "Southwest Petroleum News" in his own handwriting, and wrote his home address, telephone number, and my name on the letterhead. "You go and mail this letter, and when he sees my words, he will definitely open it and understand my consciousness. But I don't know if he'll publish it. ”

At that time, he was very old.

It was also at that time that a few boys threw me notes in class, which made him angry. That night, we had dinner at Xiao Li's restaurant, and Chen Xingping came to me and said, "Teacher Zheng is sick, and you are still drinking." ”

I dropped the dishes and chopsticks and dragged the boy on the way to the hospital, constantly scolding him for "running slowly".

When there was no one in the hospital, I dragged him to his house again, and Xiao Jun, the squad leader, stood at home, watching me and him who had made mistakes.

I went directly to Grandpa Zheng's bedside, feeling guilty.

But as soon as he saw me, he was fine.

I wonder where they live today?

This time I came to Mianyang, my grandfather picked up a few stones and went home, but the texture was too poor, and it couldn't be compared with the various ore specimens I touched when I was in school, and the color, quality, and aesthetics were not comparable.

And in the former small kitchen of his house, there are wandering figures of industrious boiled stones who stay up and keep vigil on weekends.

It's just that there is no hurry to regret everything.

As for "On Diligent Study and Good Questioning," he originally taught more than 50 of us in the class, and the format was exactly the same as the president's speech.

When I found out this little secret, I was an ordinary worker at Foxconn.

Suddenly, one day, Secretary Chen of our manufacturing department asked me to go upstairs to the office and asked me to write a speech as a representative of the Communist Youth League, so I looked at Foxconn's party and government network on the computer.

After reading the content of the general secretary's speech, I was shocked that the format was taught by Mr. Zheng when I was 16 years old, and he chose me to put it in an envelope.

I vaguely remember his handwriting, which is very similar to that of his father-in-law, and also very similar to the handwriting of President Xiong of Southwest Petroleum University.

Why do I know that?

If you want to talk about this, you have to mention the vice president of Chengdu Foxconn.

During a blind date event in the surface manufacturing department, I was temporarily named to speak on behalf of the factory.

So while going to work, I thought about what to say.

Later, I wrote a speech with thanksgiving content, and when I was about to get off work, I rushed to make a place with Vice President Xie Jiawei, who came to Taiwan.

When I stood on the podium temporarily built with logistics and warehousing, there was a large number of people under the black pressure, and even the aisles and roads were full of people.

But I was thinking about the manuscript I had written, and I looked for Xie in the crowd (although I had only seen him a few times at that time), and finally met him in the judges' seat, he was wearing glasses and smiling at me on stage, as if to say to me, "Don't be afraid, believe in yourself." ”

So I was self-absorbed and explained the meaning of "love for each other" that I wanted to express, and bowed to all the people around the world who have given their love for the Sichuan earthquake.

During the speech, I was almost crying and choking, but I held back my emotions.

On the same day, the equipment manufacturing department won the first place, and the boy's talent was to blow the horn, and the girl who gave the speech was in Chinese and English.

And we got second. I analyzed it because I didn't speak English (the problem I won't).

But when I stood on the stage and waited for Vice President Yin to hand out the pennant, in the dim light, he stopped in front of me with tears in his eyes and whispered: "You spoke so well that you made me cry." ”

Mr. Xie Jiawei hurriedly said: "We have four factories on the surface. ”

......

Later, one day, buddy plus the direct leader Lao He said to me: "After you left, Vice President Yin also left." ”

And I suddenly felt as if he had known him.

It was the beginning of the school year when I was 16 years old, and the leaders of the Petroleum Bureau came to inspect the school, and we held an opening ceremony, and I gave a welcome speech as a student representative.

Among the leaders who came to the stage to deliver speeches that year, there was a Secretary Yin. When I left the school and returned to Mianzhu, Principal Zhou said to me on the phone: "Secretary Yin specifically asked you if you had any work assignments at the meeting. ”

And the reason I called Principal Zhou was that I was going to work in the Lomon Laboratory and needed a graduation certificate.

But after hearing this, Principal Zhou said to me: "I can't get a graduation certificate now, and He Yanhua came to get a graduation certificate last time." ”

So I hung up the phone and told him, "Forget it if you don't, I'm going to do my own business anyway." It doesn't matter if you have a diploma or not. ”

In fact, because he wanted me to go directly from Mianyang to Chengdu University of Industrial Engineering to continue my studies that year, he called me to the office and said to me: "You will be a third-year student of secondary school as soon as you go, and you will graduate from college in two years." ”

But I refused.

Because I have to count how much money I have left.

Otherwise, I would have gone directly to Chongqing Foreign Chinese University, but the boy who enrolled in the enrollment told me for a long time at my house, and I even bargained with him twice about how many scholarships to give each semester.

Because I had been studying for too long, it didn't solve my urgent needs, so I gave up.

Not long after, someone brought a college diploma from Southwest Petroleum University to Guangji and gave it to me.

There is no my name on it, but there is the autograph of Principal Xiong with a fountain pen and the time of issuance, and it is a red graduation certificate.

I showed it to my mother.

The person who brought my diploma said, "You fill in your own name." ”

But I didn't dare, because I couldn't write that kind of pen handwriting—but I knew that my guild would write it.

Because that's what his handwriting is.

Anyway, I was useless, so I didn't go to work at Lomon.
