"Thank you so much, Director Zhou, this is the crispy meat I brought from my hometown, you can taste it." Xu Fugui said sincerely.

Zhou Weimin didn't refuse, and after taking it, he looked at him with a smile, "Lao Zhong has mentioned you to me many times." ”

Old clock?

Xu Fugui's expression moved slightly, "Do you know Brother Zhong?" ”

Zhou Weimin nodded, "Zhong Shouzheng, I know, old comrade-in-arms, he, an old smoker, can't live without smoke." ”

Xu Fugui instantly felt that the relationship between the two had become much closer, "Brother Zhong rarely smokes now, and Sister Yuzhi doesn't let him smoke." ”

Zhou Weimin felt a little gloating, "Tut-tut, the old smoker can actually get away from the smoke, I don't believe it, this kid is also a good fate, and he really got together with Du Yuzhi." ”

These people seem to have a lot of stories, but Xu Fugui didn't inquire.

Zhou Weimin patted him on the shoulder, "Fugui, it's no problem for me to call you like this, right?" ”

"Of course there is no problem."

"It's still the same sentence, we are our own people, if we encounter any difficulties in the future, even if we come to me, I used to follow Mr. Chen."

Xu Fugui swallowed, "Are you talking about Comrade Chen?" Director, what is Comrade Chen's identity? ”

He felt very strange that Comrade Chen's status must be very high, but why did Du Yuzhi and Zhou Weimin give him a special explanation.

As if he had a very close relationship with Comrade Chen, he couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Weimin chuckled, "You will know these things slowly in the future, in short, it won't hurt you, okay, I'll be busy first, you go to the dormitory to make the bed." ”

Xu Fugui nodded, watched him leave, and then turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

All the way through the classroom, cafeteria, playground, back to the dormitory, the dormitory is obviously also renovated, the floor is paved, the walls are clean with white plaster.

The floor was dusty, and there were a few cobwebs in the corner, so he rolled up his sleeves and found a broom and shovel in the toilet and cleaned them up diligently.

After sweeping the floor and wiping the desk and bedboard, he chose the first bed at the entrance, opened the wicker box, put the cotton wool underneath, and then spread the mat quilt and pillows.

The towel and toothbrush cup were placed on the desk, then he took out a clean dress and put it on the bed, took out a wooden bucket from the space, and went outside to get a bucket of cold water.

I have been busy for a long time, and now it is three poles of the sun, and the dazzling sunlight is scattered all over the land, reflecting a large area of trees in the school.

The temperature gradually rose, and Xu Fugui carried a wooden bucket to catch a bucket of cold water in the boiling water room.

Next to the dormitory is the boiling water room, but there is no hot water in it, according to the dormitory uncle, the boiling water room is the same as the canteen, and the hot water will only be supplied after the school starts.

But this weather is not a big deal, carrying cold water to the toilet, with soap horns comfortably bathed, the change of clothes washed and dried, put on really good short sleeves and pants, refreshed.

"Uncle, it costs money to live in the dormitory, right?" Walking out of the dormitory, the dormitory manager was sitting under the tree to enjoy the shade, he walked over and chatted and asked.

The uncle shook his head with a smile, "It doesn't cost money, this is not a social school outside, all expenses are borne by the government, and you don't need to spend money on meals." ”

Xu Fugui nodded suddenly, "Thank you for the organization." ”

"Little comrade, where are you going to eat at noon? Why don't you deal with the old man and me? ”

"I'm so sorry, I'll trouble you as soon as I come, or I'll pay you for your meal?"

The dormitory manager waved his hand, "What kind of food do you want, and it's not about eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, you don't want to dislike it." ”

"That can't be."

After a few more words, the two gradually got to know each other.

The uncle is not an ordinary uncle, he also participated in the war, and later was wounded in the left arm and switched to logistics work.

After the establishment of Xintu, due to his age, it stands to reason that the uncle should be in good old age, and he will not have to worry about life for the rest of his life.

But all his three sons died on the battlefield, and when the uncle said this, he was three points sad and seven points proud.

Although he is now old and his family's pension and pension are enough for him to live on a daily basis, he still asked for such a job.

According to his original words, he doesn't want to be a waste person lying at home, as long as he still has a breath, he has to do things for the society and serve the people.

Xu Fugui couldn't help but be in awe.

"Haha, little comrade, you don't look like a young man, I can talk to the old man for so long."

Xu Fugui said seriously: "You are always a real hero. ”

As for why I was able to talk to him for so long, he was also an old man in his previous life, so he naturally had a common topic.

And when you first come to the provincial capital, you can find someone to talk to, and the anxiety in your heart will dissipate a lot.

"I'm a hero who begs, it's okay, it's almost time, I'm happy today, and I'll have two drinks with the old man."

Xu Fugui nodded happily, "Cheng, then drink two glasses." ”

Seeing the uncle get up, he hurriedly went to help, but the uncle pushed him away, "I have a hand injury, not a leg and foot injury, and I am moving." ”

The dormitory uncle has his own separate house, the house is not small, next to the dormitory, usually the work is very easy, and after the start of school, he is mainly responsible for boiling water.

There was a small bed at the very back of the house, and in addition to it there was a stove, behind which some firewood and coal were placed.

Xu Fugui didn't let the uncle busy, took the initiative to cook, prepared for lunch food, and had two drinks with the uncle.

At the same time, Xujia Village.

After many days of rain, the sun finally left, and the sun spread on the ground again, and the paddy fields reflected a dazzling white light, and the ridges of the fields were laid with bundles of grain.

"Youqing, come and play with us."

The children in the village came to the entrance of the village in groups, looked at Youqing sitting on the threshold, and greeted loudly.

Youqing pouted and shook his head, "I don't want to play now." ”

These children came running barefoot and looked at him very seriously, "Why don't you want to play, won't your mother let you come out to play?" ”

Youqing shook his head, "No, I just don't want to play." ”

"Then what do you want to do, you say, we're with you."

"I want to go to the provincial capital to find my father."

Children, you look at me, I look at you, and they shook their heads, "The provincial capital is far away, and you have to take a train to get there, but we don't have a train." ”

"Forget it, let's go play by ourselves, forget if he doesn't go."

"We went crab fishing, I stole salt at home, caught crabs and roasted them, and they were very fragrant."

The children scattered in a hurry, chattering towards the paddy fields.

Youqing watched them leave, sighed, and looked up at the white clouds in the sky.

It is clear that a child who is only more than two years old, but he looks old and sad, which makes people cry and laugh.

Jiazhen walked over, sat next to him, and asked softly, "Youqing, why have you been unhappy?" ”

Youqing cried, "I miss my father."
