When Guan Zhong came to this town, he was just over twenty years old. That year, it was 1985, and that town was called Hiratanigawa.

No one knows why the town is called Hiratanigawa. However, there is an iron mine here, so it was called the Pingguchuan Iron Mine. The mines of that era were all state-owned enterprises. Due to the nature of the school, and the reason for the major. As soon as Guan Zhong graduated, he was assigned to this iron mine. It seems that everything is so natural and natural.

Guan Zhong had just come out of the school in the provincial capital, and the hustle and bustle of the city had not yet been heard over, so he hurried to this quiet border town. I always feel that this quietness came in such a hurry, and it was so inappropriate. Moreover, it is so strange, and there is a faint loneliness in the strangeness.

Guan Zhong went to the unit to report and was arranged to live in a single dormitory in the iron mine. Living in a single dormitory was an experience that every non-local graduate would have after joining the job in that era. But Guan Zhong never thought that his single dormitory would be a different kind of society.

The people here are complex, complex like Shanghai Tang in the thirties. There are a mix of fish and dragons, and all kinds of characters can appear here. Scenes you can't imagine, scenes you have never felt before, can happen here.

In Guan Zhong's heart, he thought of the single staff dormitory as a student dormitory, thinking that the people living here were all college graduates who had just graduated. But after arriving, I learned that there were very few college graduates who could be assigned to such a remote town in a few years after the college entrance examination had just resumed.

In a long and narrow hallway, on one side are some broken walls and windows. Some of the windows have glass, and some have no glass. On the other side are dozens of neatly arranged dormitory doors. The doors are very shabby, but they are all painted blue.

In addition to graduates, there are also veterans, art troupe members, divorced single men, and people with some physical disabilities and homelessness. There are also extrajudicial executives, as well as a unique category of people in that era, called donkeys and horses.

At that time, donkeys and horses were particularly prevalent, and they were the most active factor in this small world. These people were the unique products of that era. It seems that there is no shortage of such characters in every town.

In today's terms, it should be called scum, or hooligans and triads, which seems to be inaccurate. If it is a hooligan, it is blatant. If it is the underworld, it lacks an umbrella.

Anyway, these people dare to do anything bad, and no one can afford to provoke them. However, there are no turbulent waves in society. It's just that ordinary people, when they see them, they have to hide from afar. And they themselves, often feel very honorable, swaggering like heroes.

Donkeys and horses are rotten, and they are also divided into gangs. In the midst of the crowd, as long as there is a gang, there will be war. Therefore, fights between donkeys and horses occur from time to time. Sometimes, I'm reading a book in my dorm room or playing cards with a few roommates. In the hallway, you can hear the sound of bottles breaking, or the sound of a group of people fighting and pulling.

At this point, everyone will stop. But no one will go out rashly, and if they go out, they will suffer right and wrong. Sometimes, if you don't get it right, you will be scolded for no reason. You may be beaten or beaten.

People often just sit in the same room and listen to what is next. From the voice, you can discern who it is and what is happening. Is there anyone hurt, is the war over?

Sometimes, donkeys and horses would gather in a certain room to drink. At first, I was still very happy. But I don't know when, I don't know which sentence was not said well, and a fierce war was launched.

Wars, once they occur, do not last long. As soon as the war ended, everyone got together again and drank it. In this day and age, you can never imagine what kind of people it is. But there are some people's youth that is shrouded in such an atmosphere every day.

Guan Zhong, who has just stepped into society, also doesn't understand what kind of people they are. Guan Zhong, who couldn't figure it out, just wanted to avoid them from afar. But they are in your world, and it is not easy to avoid them.

Sometimes, those who have drunk too much will knock on your door for no apparent reason. At this time, you must not be afraid, nor hesitate, but open the door immediately. Otherwise, they will kick the door with their feet and beat people if they don't get in and get in.

In their eyes, not opening the door in time is a form of contempt for them. Sometimes, when I am happy, I will brag about myself. Tell you that if there is something unfair, you can find them, this is their heroism. Anyway, no matter what, you have to be careful with it, and you will be treated as a devil entering the village.

Sometimes, they will come in and ask you to borrow something. If it is something to eat, then if it is borrowed, it is borrowed forever. It's hard to say whether the other things can come back or not.

In those days, Guan Zhong was most worried. One night, they came to Guan Zhong to borrow a kitchen knife. The shiny kitchen knife was placed on the cutting board, and it was impossible not to borrow it.

But after being loaned out, Guan Zhong didn't sleep well all night. Guan Zhong was worried that if they fought and slashed people with kitchen knives, the murder weapon would be his own. If something happens, it doesn't matter if you don't have to. Thankfully, that night, everything was fine. Fortunately, the next day, they brought back the kitchen knife.

After Guan Zhong went to work, he was placed in a newly built unit in the mine. The leader of his unit was a middle-aged man in his forties, not very tall, and he was very amiable. The director is a college student in the 60s, so he has a different kind of care for Guan Zhong. With Guan Zhong, who is full of childishness, he calls him Director Ma every day.

In this small unit of more than 30 people, except for Director Ma and Guan Zhong, the rest of the people have to go down the well when they work. Most of the time, the two of them stay outside every day.

Guan Zhong just joined the work and felt that what he learned in school would not be used at all when he got here. It seems that those two years of study were really in vain.

It's not very difficult to learn business, but there is no master in this small unit. In the beginning, I had to go to other units to study. When he arrived at other units, Guan Zhong realized that he was not a unit at all. Compared to other units, that is also a team. It's just that the team is different, and it undertakes an important mission of the enterprise.

I have been with Director Ma for a long time, and in addition to work matters, I also talked a lot about family matters. In this way, Guan Zhong has a better understanding of Director Ma. It turns out that such a modest man is also an amorous seed.

For this mine, Director Ma is also a newcomer. He used to work in one of the larger gold mines in the province, and he did well there. He was the head of the security section of that unit, and his wife was the head of the organization of that unit.

Such a family is also rare in the unit, which is the envy of many people. But often such enviable families will have some incredible things happen. Then, those unusual things, it became lace news. Next, in a small town, a sudden explosion erupts.

Speaking of Director Ma's wife, perhaps, because of the nature of the work, not only is the person dignified, but the work is also very upright. Not only is he very rigorous in his work, but he is also very serious in his speech and appearance. Not only does she do this at work, but also at home, and she behaves like she does at work.

Once a woman is like this, she is a lot less gentle and less considerate. When a man is looking for a wife, he doesn't want her to be successful in her work, but more often, he wants to feel a woman's tenderness, thoughtfulness, and care in her. Let your other half completely dissolve into your own life.

Director Ma has been under the influence of his wife's domineering and majestic for a long time, and little by little he has evolved into a man who is afraid of his wife. Everyone in the unit knows this. But Director Ma felt that he could only do this, and he could not change this reality. Perhaps, for the sake of the children, for the sake of the family. Perhaps, he should have such a woman in his life.

At home, the wife is the center. No matter what happens, the wife has to do what she wants, and there is no room for negotiation. Perhaps, it is the habit of being dominated by women, and as for men's thoughts, they are no longer thoughts. Even the night affair between husband and wife, in the same way, it is the wife who has the final say.

It's good if life goes on like this, but let it become a pool of stagnant water. But when people have believed in their fate, no longer have extravagant hopes, and are content with the status quo, there will always be some people and some things to stir up this pool of stagnant water.

It was a young woman who came to stir up the stagnant water of Director Ma. The woman had a resounding name, Golden Bell. Jin Ling came to the safety department, not from Director Ma. Even if he wanted to transfer a woman over, he had to pass his wife first.

It was Director Ma, the deputy mine manager in charge of production, who said that he would transfer someone to him. Director Ma didn't ask anything, what can he say about the leader's arrangement? On the day Jin Ling came, Director Ma was surprised. Unexpectedly, for more than ten years, there has been no women's security department, so how could a female comrade be arranged.
