Oct. 23, 11:40 a.m.

After some tossing, everyone rushed to the photo studio near the education department of the local party committee.

Chen Fan walked in the front, and at first glance, he saw a long queue outside the photo studio.

At second glance, I saw the signboard of "Glory Photo Studio".

Secretary Yang was originally quite high-spirited, thinking about what kind of posture to take pictures in later, and when he saw the long queue outside the photo studio, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Why are there so many people?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was slightly embarrassed, "It's about the same as what the hero sees, and everyone thinks of it with me." ”

He thought that he would finish filming as soon as possible and there would be fewer people, who knew that there would be so many people at once today.

But it's not okay if it's late, you have to wait for less people to shoot again, maybe the registration is over.

Captain Zhang bit the cigarette stick, his brows furrowed tightly, "Then what's the matter?" ”

Chen Fan coughed dryly, "If you come, you will be safe, and you will line up first." ”

The safety wiped a cold sweat and quickly directed everyone to line up at the back of the line to take a place.

Regardless of anything else, let's take the position first, if Chen Fan's call the day before yesterday works, you can give up here at any time, but if it doesn't work, then you still have to queue up honestly?!

The old intellectuals from other places were quite conscious, and let the primary students in Lujiawan line up in the front, and they stood in the back by themselves.

With their joining, the length of the line immediately increased by a fifth.

Chen Fan looked back and forth, looking for Secretary Yang to come and put the letter of introduction in his pocket, and then walked forward with his head raised and his chest held high.

As soon as I walked a few steps, I heard someone shouting, "Why don't you little comrade follow the rules?" To take a picture to the back of the line. ”

Chen Fan followed the voice and looked over, it turned out to be a little girl, and she glared at him with big eyes.

He was cheeky and showed an invincible bright smile, "I'm sorry, classmate, I don't take pictures, I made an appointment with the photo studio before, and I have official business." ”

The little girl was really struck by the smile, and her face turned red, "Oh, I was mistaken. ”

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand and continued to walk forward.

Then every time he walked, he had to be reprimanded, he smiled and explained repeatedly, sighing that people at this time had a really strong sense of justice, and finally walked into the door of the photo studio.

Before the photo studio staff asked, Chen Fan had already aimed at a young lady, took out a letter of introduction two steps forward, handed it over, and whispered, "Hello comrade, I am from the Lujiawan production team of Nanhu Commune, and I asked Mr. Guo from the correspondence station of Jiangnan University of the Education Commission to help me make an appointment with you to take a photo the afternoon before yesterday." ”

The young lady took the letter of introduction, looked at Chen Fan's face again, and blushed inexplicably, "Oh, our director explained in advance, you come with me." ”

Chen Fan ignored the strange gaze from the side and quietly followed her.

Through a half-hidden curtain and into the studio, a photographer in blue overalls was taking pictures.

A girl in a plaid shirt sat upright on a stool, and before she could open her eyes, before she could pose, the photographer clicked and shouted with a flash of light, "Alright, next." ”

The girl was dumbfounded, is that good?

And the next person had already walked over quickly, whispering, "You're done shooting." ”

Hearing the voice, she walked out in a panic.

Chen Fan is a little strange, this process is not the same as when he took pictures in the county.

He whispered to the young lady and asked, "Comrade, may I ask, don't you need to get the receipt?" ”

The young lady was very patient with him, "They registered before taking pictures, and they came to report the number after 5 days, and then checked the name to get the photo." ”

Chen Fan's eyes rolled slightly, it will take 5 days?

But thinking of the long queue outside, and now it's almost 12 o'clock, I can't help but smack my lips slightly.

If there are more people, won't the time be extended?

As for Chen Fan's questioning, the photographer solved two more, and he finally didn't call the next one, turned around and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

The young lady immediately stepped forward, "As the director explained the day before yesterday, the people from the Lujiawan production team in Gufeng County came to take registration photos." ”

"Oh."

The photographer nodded, "Then ......"

As soon as he said two words, he suddenly looked at Chen Fan, "Lu Jiawan? Chen Fan's team? ”

Chen Fan immediately bent down slightly humbly, "Hello master, I'm Chen Fan." ”

"Hey."

The photographer's eyes lit up suddenly, he didn't even care about the camera, stretched out his hands and walked over, "It turned out to be Writer Chen in person, looking up for a long time!" ”

Chen Fan smiled and shook hands with him, "Don't dare, don't dare, people from our team came over to take registration photos today, I'm sorry for you." ”

Photographer, "No trouble, no trouble, my job." So what......"

He turned his head to look at the young lady, "Since the director said hello, and it was Writer Chen who came over in person, let them shoot first." ”

The young lady was about to go out, but was stopped by Chen Fan.

Originally, before entering the studio, he really wanted to cut the line. Because there is an appointment, it can be said that it is public to public, and no one is afraid to check, and there is no way to break the rules.

If you don't have any "privileges" these days, you don't follow the rules.

But after coming here, he saw those "waiting candidates" with nervous faces and even a little overwhelmed, and he suddenly didn't want to cut in line.

smiled at the young lady and the photographer, "It's okay, it's okay, these classmates have been in line for most of the day, let's let them come first." We're not far behind anyway. ”

The photographer looked at him unexpectedly, and when he saw that his face was full of seriousness, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Writer Chen, that's good." ”

He then walked over to the camera and shouted, "Next." ”

At this time, the girls waiting outside were already nervous.

In these years, queuing up to do things, the most afraid is that someone suddenly enters the inside, if it is a staff member, it is good to say, in case it is a ...... who opens the back door, Mom, no longer live!

When do you have to wait until today?!

Fortunately, after waiting for a few minutes, the photographer's shout came from inside, and she was about to go in, but as soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw another female comrade and said, "Don't bring anything in." ”

She suddenly made a difficulty, but she brought all the "most valuable" belongings, what if she lost it?

Then a girl behind her said, "Just leave it here, I'll watch it for you." ”

She didn't think much of it, bent down and said thank you, then put the package aside and ran in and sat upright.

Sitting on the stool, the bright light in the room made her unable to see clearly, but this was taking a photo of the college entrance examination, she didn't dare to slack off, she could only try to open her eyes wide.

With a click, the photographer was heard shouting, "Next." ”

It wasn't until I got out of the studio and got my package back that I woke up like a dream, looked back, and walked out slowly.

Chen Fan's eyes kept following her, and asked curiously, "She should have come from below, right?" ”

It can be seen that her dress should not be worn often, the creases on it are still there, and the clothes are too thin to be worn in this season.

The young lady nodded, her eyes were a little complicated, "Jiangsu educated youth, cut in line in a certain brigade, a little closer to the city than the county seat, and the ticket is cheaper by 1 cent, so I came here to take pictures." And I heard that in order to save money, she walked all the way from the bus station. ”

Chen Fan didn't hear which production team it was, anyway, it didn't matter.

He watched the girl walk out of the photo studio, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The Yunhu area is already so difficult, and if it is replaced by Inner Mongolia, Guizhou and other places with vast and sparsely populated areas and inconvenient transportation, I am afraid that I will not have to break my legs.

And it's November soon, and at this time, it may have begun to snow heavily in the northern region, thinking about walking dozens of kilometers in the ice and snow to take the exam, as well as running back and forth so many times 、......, registering, filling out volunteers, and getting notices, Chen Fan felt his legs tremble when he thought about it.

In contrast, candidates in the inland areas are indeed much luckier.

The photographer's speed was very fast, almost every 10 seconds, and in less than half an hour, it was finally Lujiawan's turn to enter the scene.

Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang personally escorted them, Zhang Wenliang helped with the registration, and Chen Fan stayed in the studio to accompany them.

Even the photographer unconsciously slowed down, put his head behind the camera and aimed, "Come, tilt your head to the left, raise your forehead a little more, don't blink, smile, okay...... Finish. ”

Click......

Compare the attitudes of those people just now, there is a world of difference.

After everyone finished shooting, Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang also joined in the fun, asked the photographer to tear open a curtain on the background of Tiananmen Square, and each took a photo.

At this time, it was already half past twelve o'clock, everyone came out of the photo studio, Secretary Yang looked left and right, and said to Chen Fan, "What else is going on?" ”

Chen Fan spread his hands, "It's gone." ”

Then he looked at his classmates and said with a smile, "They finally came to the local committee, so it depends on whether they want to take a stroll." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Yanan waved his hand again and again, "I won't go shopping, I want to go shopping, I'll just go back to the boat and wait." ”

She pulled out a stack of manuscripts and smiled, "I brought review materials with me, so I can study for a while." ”

More than a dozen other old intellectuals also took out their handwritten manuscripts, "I brought them too." "I brought it." ……

Huang Ying and the others looked at them dumbfounded, as if they were a little incredulous.

Come out to take pictures with review materials, is it so hard?

The other students had already lowered their heads in shame, and when they were queuing up just now, some of them found that the old intellectuals in the back of the queue were holding materials and reviewing, while their own hands were empty.

When Secretary Yang saw this scene, he originally wanted to take these students to see the prefectural committee city and stimulate their self-motivation, but the idea immediately disappeared, and he was about to wave his hand, "Don't go shopping, go home!" ”

Zhang Wenliang's hopeful eyes instantly dimmed, and he muttered, "It's noon, can you eat something and go back?" ”

Captain Zhang's eyes widened, "Go back to the house and have less food?" Walk! ”

So a group of people kept going and rushed back.

It wasn't until he got on the boat that Chen Fan grabbed Secretary Yang and whispered, "Uncle Yang, Uncle Zhang, Jiang Lili and I will take a leave, we will go back first, and we will arrive later." ”

Well?

The two looked at them with strange faces, their eyes wandering over them.

What does it mean?

Chen Fan hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiang's family is from the local committee, she hasn't been back for nearly four years, and it's rare to come to the local committee, so she wants to go home to see her parents by the way." ”

Hearing this, Secretary Yang's eyes flashed with a little relief.

He pondered for two seconds, and said to Jiang Lili, "It's rare for you to come here, just go back and have a look, if you're not in a hurry, you can go back to the production team in a few days." ”

Jiang Lili hurriedly said, "Thank you, secretary, I, I don't have to stay too long, I'll go back when we meet." ”

This was discussed between her and Chen Fan before she came out.

The family situation is special, and if she goes home to see her parents, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble. But when I went back to Yunhu, I didn't feel at ease when I didn't see it, so I simply saw one side and left after seeing it.

Seeing her say this, Secretary Yang didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Chen Fan, "Anyway, you are more familiar with the local committee than us, so I won't say more, you like to stay for a few days, just let the transportation team deliver the goods when you have something." There is only one point, to bring people back completely. ”

Complete?

Chen Fan looked at him, old man, do you have something to say?

As a result, Secretary Yang rolled his eyes, walked towards the river with his hands behind his back.

Captain Zhang didn't say much, but when he passed in front of him, he coughed dryly twice, and gave him a look for himself to experience.

The big boat slowly sailed away from the dock, Huang Ying, Yang Ju and Liu Dan stood at the bow of the boat, the three of them muttered quietly, and they didn't know what they were muttering, anyway, the worries on their faces couldn't be hidden, so they almost wanted to stay with them.

Chen Fan twitched the corners of his mouth, turned to Jiang Lili and said, "Do you want to buy something for your parents and sister?" ”

There were no outsiders present, Jiang Lili exhaled hard, raised her head and smiled, "No, I have prepared gifts for them." ”

As he spoke, he gently patted the canvas bag he was carrying.

At this moment, she was already a little impatient.

Chen Fan smiled, "Then let's go." ”

With that, he turned and walked down.

Jiang Lili followed closely behind him, "Where are you going?" ”

Chen Fan, "Take a boat to your sister, her unit is not far from the river, and it is faster to take the boat." ”

The place to meet is about the riverside not far from Jiang Tiantian's unit, so that it is convenient for her parents to go over, and it is convenient for Jiang Lili to go over, and she is not afraid of being seen by acquaintances.

Jiang Lili, "Oh. ”

The two got on the yacht, and the boat broke through the waves and sailed upstream.

Then he was embarrassed to catch up with the big ship of Lujiawan No. 2.

Chen Fan calmly waved his hand to the villagers on the boat, and pushed the accelerator to the end, and the yacht immediately let out a roar, and the bow of the boat was raised high, like a frog jumping on the water, and the big wooden boat was left far behind.

On the big boat, Zhang Wenliang was dumbfounded, "Can a small rowing boat run so fast?" ”

Safely and calmly picked up the fallen cigarette and patted the cigarette ash on his body, "Hmph, what is this, if this boat is not too fat, the speed can be increased by half again, let me tell you, the assault boat knows, right?" The machine on his little paddle was originally a ...... mounted on an assault boat."

Secretary Yang stood in the corridor in front of the cab, leaning forward against the railing, squinting at the frog in the distance.

Captain Zhang looked at him, "What do you think?" ”

Secretary Yang didn't look back, "Look at it." ”

Captain Zhang's mouth pursed, "It's boring to say this, don't you want Xiao Chen to stay in Lujiawan?" ”

"Yes, but what's the use of thinking?"

He glanced back at Captain Zhang, smacked his lips and said, "Yang Chuanfu not only used the beauty trick, but also took out his own girls, counting the girls of the Huang family and the Liu family in their 6 teams, and then counting the little daughters of your Zhang family, which one is not a first-class pretty appearance?"

But Xiao Chen just didn't like it, what can you do? Tie him up with a rope, and then hit a random one like a wedding, and take him into the cave room and pull him down? ”

Captain Zhang couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Phew, what nonsense are you talking about." ”

After a pause, he sighed again, "I want to, but Xiao Chen's temperament, don't look at him smiling all day long, but I have never seen anyone more stubborn than his temper."

You talk to him kindly, and he nods his head well, but when he turns around, he does what he should do, and it doesn't change at all. ”

Secretary Yang suddenly burst out laughing.

Captain Zhang looked at him with a strange face, what's wrong? Evil?

Finally stopped laughing, and Secretary Yang said, "In Xiao Chen's words, it is called humbly accepting and not changing." ”

Hearing this, Captain Zhang also grinned.

After a while, Secretary Yang took a puff of cigarette and said with emotion, "You, me, and Lao Xiao and Lao Ye, including most of the people in Lujiawan, who doesn't want to leave Xiao Chen behind?"

It is best to find a daughter-in-law from Lujiawan and give birth to ten or eight babies, so that you can be regarded as taking root here.

However, Xiao Chen has his own ideas, he has made so many contributions to our Lujiawan, and the kindness that Yang Chuanfu saved him has already returned tenfold and hundredfold, what should we keep? ”

After a pause for a few seconds, he silently took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said, "Tricks to force people to stay, stay here and after, and in the end they will only become enemies."

Anyway, I'll just say a word, whether it's a letter of introduction or a political trial certificate, or something else, if he needs it, we'll give it, if we have this blessing in Lujiawan, it will naturally be a blessing to let this Wenqu star fall into the nest.

In case we can't keep it, we have such a character here, and we have cultivated a nest of golden phoenixes, transforming our place into a plane tree, and we can earn enough. ”

Captain Zhang nodded on the side and remained silent.

After a short silence, he suddenly said, "Eh, Old Yang, have you thought about a question?" ”

Secretary Yang turned his head to look at him, "What's the problem?" ”

Captain Zhang pointed to the direction where Chen Fan disappeared and whispered, "You say, is it possible that he doesn't have that kind of personal relationship between men and women for Xiao Jiang?" ”

Secretary Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly came to his senses, "What do you say?" ”

Captain Zhang was like Kong Ming possessed, analyzing and said, "Listen to me give you an analysis, if he really likes Xiao Jiang, should he find a way to keep Xiao Jiang?" ”

Secretary Yang blinked, "I don't understand." ”

Captain Zhang glared at him angrily, "You are stupid, I didn't hear Yang Chuanfu say that his Yang Ju told him that Xiao Chen was going to send Xiao Jiang to study in other places, which sounds quite far away." As for himself, he plans to apply for a graduate student at Jiangnan University, if they have a personal relationship, shouldn't they be together? Why separate? ”
