This is how fate is arranged. After graduating from university, Hao Jinyou was assigned to work in a remote township government north of the county town. His wife Liu Qin works as a private teacher in the village, while the village is at the southernmost end of the county town. The couple's working location is more than 120 miles apart. Hao Jinyou usually lives in the village and can only get together with his wife once on Sundays. I caught up with the township to do central work, and sometimes I can only go home once every two or three weeks.
In the past, traffic was underdeveloped. Whenever Hao Jinyou went home on Sundays, he would take half a day off on Saturday afternoons, first take the bus to the county town, and then transfer to the bus home. During the transfer, you may have to wait for a while before you get on the bus. After getting off the bus, you have to walk another two or three miles to get home. When I get home, it’s often dark and I can’t see my fingers. In order not to delay work, Hao Jinyou hurried back the next afternoon. Every time I go home, I go back and forth like this, and I don’t have a good rest, I will exhaust myself.
The couple also thought about transferring things, but after running away and doing their best, they could never get what they wanted. My wife works day and night to eat and sleep, just to become a regular. Because there is a quota restriction on the transfer, it is impossible not to work hard. If you transfer to your husband’s job, you will lose the popularity you have finally accumulated in your original unit. If you want to become a regular in your new unit, it is no different from catching the moon in the sea. Besides, when private teachers are transferred, they need to take care of many aspects of relationships. If you ask your aunt to worship grandma, it will be in terrible. If you don’t do it well, you will lose a lot of rice.
As for Hao Jinyou, he started from work in the unit and became an assistant for seven or eight years. In order to transfer back to the town where he is in his hometown to work, he even tried his best to eat. Hard work pays off, and I finally found a chance to transfer back to my hometown. However, the leader of the hometown in my hometown said that he could come to work, but because there was no vacancy in the seat, he could only start with a clerk. He thought about it repeatedly and finally got over the official position, but he was gone. After staying outside for so long, I didn’t even have a gauze wing on my head. How do I explain to my fellow villagers? Alas, is it not cost-effective to go back? Or is it gritting your teeth and not leaving.
The couple's life was dragged down year after year.
However, separation in another place also has benefits. It’s far away and the fragrance is close and dirty, and a small separation is like a newlywed. Whenever Hao Jinyou brought Fengchen home, his wife would circulate around him. Either pat the dust on his body, or gently stroke his face, asking about the endless warmth. The scene was really warm and touching, and it would never be forgotten for the rest of your life.
After his wife Liu Qin became a regular, she finally reached the age of retirement. Coincidentally, shortly after Hao Jinyou was promoted from assistant to deputy department, he had not had time to shine in office, and he was announced to retreat to the second line after two or three years of retirement. There is an unwritten rule in the township that people who have retired from the second line will be flexible in their work and can do it if they don’t come to work if they have nothing to do. To be honest, if you have retired from the second line, you will not move forward or go back in the unit. How can you do anything easy to do? Hao Jinyou was thinking, and suddenly, he figured it out, come if he had something to do, and don’t come if he had nothing to do? Don't go around in circles, anyway, you're lying on your back and peeing while sleeping, whether you're dead or alive. Let's go home with my luggage and go home with my wife.
When Liu Qin was a private teacher, in order to become a regular teacher and to evaluate her professional title after becoming a regular teacher, she went to the county to go to the TV University, and later obtained her undergraduate degree through the self-study exam. At the same time, in addition to publishing many business papers in his spare time, he also published many essays, novels, essays, etc. on online platforms and publications. Before she knew it, she became a well-known scholar.
When it comes to literati, people often associate the word "high" with it. Liu Qin asked Hao Jinyou in confusion: "Honey, someone said that I am aloof in private. Didn't I just write something? It didn't affect my work and got along well with my colleagues. Do you think I am aloof?"
Hao Jinyou had long been disgusted with his wife's writing articles. What to write? He fabricated those arrogant and romantic things all day long, with a pure petty bourgeois mood. A decent person, who will do this? After hearing Liu Qin's question about the word "Qing Gao", he was so angry that he was furious.He said maliciously: "I have long regarded you as noble. Didn't you just write a few articles? There is nothing to say, but what to be noble? Look at you. Since I came back, you always ignore me when I talk. I don't know what you are thinking about all day long. Tell me, do you take me seriously? Are you not aloof? To be honest, I don't even bother to take a look at the speech written by the young man in the office. Even though I speak casually, who doesn't say that I'm just talking?" Hao Jinyou said a lot of things.
Liu Qin said: "Who doesn't know that you have never made a name for your life in the government, but you have become a stinky official. You put your hands on your waist everywhere and point fingers when you speak. Judging from your virtue, it's just that others don't want to pay attention to you. What's wrong with me writing something in my spare time? Who did I offend my neighbors? What's wrong with the work at home that I didn't do? You can stretch out your clothes and open your mouth for food, but you won't be able to do it. I've taught me a lesson with tactfully. Others say I'm aloof, or jokes, or maybe they're a little jealous, which is not understood. But why do you say I'm aloof? Don't you read books or study, and nod and wait for you all day in front of you, and you're not saying I'm aloof? When I was separated from two places, I only saw you being honest, but I didn't expect you to be full of colorful intestines. The country trains you to make you do things, not to enjoy it. I knew you were like this. , I have ignored you for a long time."
Hao Jinyou put one hand on his waist and pointed at the other, saying, "You have a problem with your consciousness. What's wrong with my hip? I'm a habit. It's because of this habit that shows that I have temperament and majesty. If you don't like it, you have to look at it. You're good, wearing glasses everywhere you go, and you won't even take it down. Wearing glasses can prove that you have knowledge? I think it's pretending, and writing articles is also a pragmatic thing. It's not necessarily true that you make up for something."
Looking at Hao Jinyou's style, Liu Qin said, "You are simply unreasonable."
Hao Jinyou also replied, "You are unreasonable. Talking about people like you, the price is reduced!"
"Is the price fall? It's still unlucky!" Liu Qin said, and closed the glass door of the bathroom hard.
Liu Qin has such a habit in life. After retirement, no matter what season, after dinner, she goes to bed almost as soon as it gets dark. And when I woke up, it was about three or four o'clock in the morning. If you drink too much water at night and wake up by urine at one or two o'clock, it will be difficult to fall asleep after waking up. Because she couldn't sleep, her mind became very clear. Because she is clear-headed, she will pick up her phone and lie on the bed to start writing. It’s okay to say in summer, but in winter, the quilt will often be flashed by writing, and Hao Jinyou, who is sleeping beside him, will be awakened. In this way, Hao Jinyou, who woke up, lost his sleepiness.
Taking advantage of Liu Qin's mood, Hao Jinyou said in a controversial tone: "I don't object to writing articles, but after you wake up, can you put on your clothes and write in the living room or study?"
Liu Qin said: "I put my head on the pillow and there is no place to change. How can I write something without inspiration? If it really feels that it affects your rest, you sleep on the sofa in the living room. In this way, we both feel comfortable."
When I heard about sleeping on the sofa, Hao Jinyou said softly: "I will just say it casually, write whatever you like. The two are not old yet, what's the matter of sleeping separately? It's not easy to see people when it is spreading?"
Hao Jinyou's living habits are almost the opposite of Liu Qin. He would watch the news broadcast, focus interviews every night, and then stock market comments, etc. He would go to bed almost every night until eleven or two o'clock.
Although he gently lifted the corner of the quilt and gently lay his body behind Liu Qin, Liu Qin was often awakened by him. Liu Qin, who woke up, quarreled with him: "You night ghost, you should go to bed and don't sleep. Just wait for someone to fall asleep and wake up the person. Did you do it?"
It's not a glorious thing to quarrel in bed in the middle of the night. Once the neighbors hear it, it will be too embarrassing. Hao Jinyou had to pretend that he didn't hear it. After all, he had made her mumble a few words, and it would be fine if she was tired of mumbling.Besides, I have been an official, how can I do without a little bit of stomach? After dawn, I will do her work and let her correct it in the future.
Suddenly one day, a few women came to the house and they also had some things in their hands. The leader was the neighbor Wang Dasao. She said to Liu Qin earnestly: "Now you are retired and there is nothing to do at home. I heard that you taught students to dance in school. In order to exercise, dancing is fashionable now. I want to ask you for advice."
Liu Qin said: "Dance is a good thing. Just learn it. What should I do with things? Take the things back, and I will teach you to dance tomorrow morning."
Soon, everyone learned to dance. There were even a few old men and a few young men who learned to dance together.
Because I have to dance every morning, the breakfast time is delayed by an hour, and sometimes it is a little longer. Hao Jinyou has the habit of eating on time. Because the time for breakfast was changed and it was not on time, Hao Jinyou couldn't stand it anymore. He said angrily on the pretext: "Look at those rustic farmers, old men and old ladies, it's enough to see me. How can you get along with these people? Don't forget, you are a teacher and a person with status. Is it worth dancing and having fun with these people? You don't even have to worry about food. Do you think it's like living a life? If not, I'll give up my old face and go out to eat in the morning. You can dance whatever you like, and eat whenever you like, and I won't care about it anymore."
Liu Qin said: "Eat a meal later. I can't stand it anymore? I feel pain in my spare time at home all day long, and there are so many things. Dancing with my neighbors, what's wrong? Besides, I don't have time to cook in the morning, can't you learn to do it? I have to cook for you? I'll spend all day at home and live in vain. After a long time, I have to get sick. You can't wait at home!"
The son of the neighbor's house got married. Because Hao Jinyou was once a person on the scene, he asked him to be the witness, and he accepted the invitation very happily. Unexpectedly, at the banquet, he made many new and old friends, and everyone kept toasting him. This is what I say, I respect the village head Hao for a cup. That said, long time no see, I have had a drink with Township Chief Hao. In this way, Hao Jinyou drank too much when he was back and forth. He said in a confused manner: "Comrades, are you doing a good job? You drink well today. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and create more brilliant things!" This is nothing. This is a wedding wine, why did it become an official voice? Everyone thought about it and burst into laughter.
I heard that Hao Jinyou was drinking at the wedding table and said some unreasonable words. The next day, Liu Qin apologized to her neighbor. The neighbor said: "Guard Hao was drunk because he was happy and told a few jokes. There was nothing to do with big things." After returning home, Liu Qin couldn't hold it in and started arguing with Hao Jinyou. She said: "Hao Jinyou, if someone calls you a few words, you will get up. Don't you just be the deputy township chief for those days? What's there to say? After drinking too much, you will become an official voice. Can you still distinguish between the east, west, north and north? I feel embarrassed for you."
When did you suffer such a coward when you were in office? I have scolded the teacher at school, held meetings for villagers in the village, and reported to the superiors to their work. Look at this Liu Qin, I feel itchy when I haven't quarreled with me for three days. The more Hao Jinyou thought about it, the less he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Taking advantage of the day before he had not finished drinking, he picked up a belt and said viciously: "You little teacher, I must beat you to death!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Qin quickly dodged aside. Unexpectedly, the belt actually hit Hao Jinyou's own face. In an instant, a long red mark appeared on his face.
Due to the long-term constant noise, the couple reached the point where they could not communicate normally in language. Either ignore each other or talk about quarrels. So later, they first separated, and finally Hao Jinyou took his salary card and went out to travel around the country and rivers, leaving Liu Qin alone at home.
