As night fell, Qiao Liang was lying on the bed in the dormitory. There was silence all around. There was a mountain wind passing by in the mountains behind, there were waves of pine waves, and intermittent howls could be heard faintly from the depths of the forest.
There are indeed wild beasts in the primeval forest. As expected, this howling sound should be made by wolves.
There are wolves in the northwest, wolves in the northwest.
Qiao Liang opened his eyes wide and looked at the boundless darkness in front of him. In this completely unfamiliar environment far away from his hometown, he suddenly felt a trace of loneliness.
Thinking about the familiar Jiangzhou, thinking about the relatives and friends in Jiangzhou, and thinking about what happened from yesterday to today, Qiao Liang couldn't help but ask himself, why did he come all the way here to take up a job?
?Is it worth it? Is it meaningful?
In this environment, mood and doubts, Qiao Liang suddenly felt melancholy, confused, and a little depressed.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Qiao Liang fell asleep in melancholy, confusion and depression.
In the middle of the night, Qiao Liang suddenly shouted "Ah" and then sat up suddenly, sweating all over his body, his heart beating fast, and he looked at the darkness in front of him with fearful eyes.
Qiao Liang had a nightmare. He dreamed that when he was walking alone on the uninhabited Gobi Desert in Liangbei, he encountered a group of hungry northwest wolves.
, the pack of wolves did not flinch. Under the leadership of the alpha wolf, the pack of wolves launched a ferocious attack on themselves, throwing themselves to the ground, their sharp teeth biting and tearing at their bodies ferociously, bursts of boundless fear and
Heartbreaking pain spread throughout his body, and suddenly the wolf opened its bloody mouth and bit his neck——
This last fatal blow scared Qiao Liang out of his nightmare. He put his hand on his chest and felt his heart beating hard. There were beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. Emma, it's so scary, so scary.
Damn me.
Qiao Liang then turned on the bedside lamp. The light could drive away evil spirits. In the light, he relaxed a little.
Qiao Liang leaned on the bedside, took out a cigarette and lit it, took two deep puffs, and recalled the scene in the nightmare just now, with lingering fear in his heart. Emma, fortunately it was a dream, and you won't really encounter it in reality.
Qiao Liang touched the phone and checked the time, it was 2 am.
At this time, Liangbei County was sleeping, the whole world was sleeping, and Jiangzhou, thousands of miles away, was no exception.
Qiao Liang was just about to put down his phone when he suddenly heard a message notification sound.
Who sent me messages all this time? Is it harassment?
Qiao Liang didn't want to watch it at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to take a look.
Qiao Liang immediately opened the message and saw that the sender was Ye Xinyi. She was still awake at this time.
Qiao Liang then read the information:
Qiao Liang, it is already two o'clock in the middle of the night. I have just finished working overtime in the dormitory on a manuscript that will be sent to the Beijing media tomorrow.
At this moment, in this moment of complete silence, I suddenly thought of you in the far northwest. Although I know you should be sleeping at this moment, I still want to talk to you. Since I don’t want to wake you up, I won’t call you.
Yes, send a message.
I already know that you were assigned to a temporary job in Liangbei County after arriving in the Northwest. I know that Liangbei County is located in the north of the Northwest and is the most remote, poor and backward county in the Northwest. This means that where you are assigned to work, whether it is work or life,
It is extremely hard and bitter, which means that if you want to achieve results, you will face huge and heavy difficulties, which means that you will accept unprecedented tests and tempers...
I have always been very optimistic about your abilities. Although your experience and experience are not rich, I believe that with your intelligence, ability, studiousness and stubborn character, you will definitely make a difference in Liangbei.
Complete the job assignment satisfactorily or even with excellence.
As for your life, although I used to have this or that opinion of you, but now I basically appreciate it. You are a kind and loyal person. Although you have some gangster habits and your personality is a bit different, you can persevere.
Justice and righteousness, being able to stick to one's own bottom line as a human being, are very precious and rare.
I believe that with your quality of life and work, you should be able to do well in Liangbei. Of course, there may be some twists and turns, or even hardships, but I believe that no matter how big the storm is, you will be able to do it.
I'll survive this, I'm sure of it.
Although the distance is far away, in this space, I feel very close to you, so close that I can seem to hear your familiar voice and see your sometimes cynical and sometimes serious and clean smile.
In this late night, I am watching you and blessing you.
In the time to come, I will continue to look at you and continue to bless you.
It’s getting late, I’m going to rest, my friend, good night, oh no, I should say good morning at this time...
After reading Ye Xinyi's message, Qiao Liang was a little moved, felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh silently.
Qiao Liang then replied: "Good morning, Xiaoye, thank you for thinking of me at this time, thank you for your high praise of my practicality and your distant but sincere blessing."
Then Ye Xinyi sent an unexpected expression: "Dizzy, you haven't slept yet?"
"Well, I didn't sleep." Qiao Liang replied.
"Why didn't you sleep?"
"Because of loneliness."
"Why lonely?"
"Because I want a woman."
"Pfft...which woman do you miss?"
"I want to miss my woman in the middle of the night."
Ye Xinyi felt dizzy because this guy was teasing her again.
Ye Xinyi sent an angry expression: "Fuck you, lie."
Qiao Liang sent a playful expression: "How do you know I'm lying?"
"intuition."
Qiao Liang laughed silently again, and then replied: "Your intuition is accurate."
"Uh..." Although her intuition was right, Ye Xinyi was a little disappointed.
Then Qiao Liang replied: "I was woken up by a nightmare. I was in a state of shock when I saw the message you sent."
"Nightmare? What nightmare did you have?"
"I dreamed that I was being hunted by wolves in the vast and desolate Gobi Desert in Liangbei."
"It's terrible, how could you have such a nightmare?"
"I don't know... maybe it's because there are mountains behind where I live, and the mountains are primeval forests. Before I went to bed, I heard the howling of wolves in the forest."
"Oh, I've never been to Liangbei, so I don't know what the environment is like there."
"You can come and take a look if you have a chance."
"I think so."
"Why do you say that?"
"Based on the experience of the previous batches of temporary posts in the northwest, during their temporary postings, the province will organize news media to go to the northwest for joint interviews and report on the outstanding deeds of the temporary staff. I think this batch will be no exception. If the ministry organizes
If the news media goes there, I will try to participate."
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel happy after seeing it: "Okay, come on, come to Liangbei to report on me."
"Don't be too happy too early. Firstly, the new batch of temporary cadres have just arrived and the work has not started yet. They will not go out to interview and report now. Secondly, even if they go, they will only be interviewing outstanding temporary cadres. I won't know what you have by then."
I’m not qualified to be interviewed.”
Qiao Liang frowned: "Huh? Comrade Xiaoye, you don't seem to have confidence in me? What happened? In the message you just sent me, didn't you think very favorably of me? You even believed in me without a doubt."
"I am encouraging you. Although I am optimistic about you, the key to whether you can do well or not depends on yourself."
"Well, it depends on myself. Okay, just watch. I will definitely be the best among these temporary cadres by then."
"Haha, the young man is very confident, not bad, good, please give me praise."
"Who's the boy?"
"What's wrong with you? You don't agree with me calling you young man?"
"Not convinced."
"Then what do you want me to call you?"
"Call me Mr. Qiao, or Mr. Qiao."
"Bah, bah, dreaming."
"This is not a joke, nor is it a dream. I believe that one day you will be convinced that you call me this."
"Hey, you feel so good about yourself...Okay, I won't grind my teeth with you anymore. I can't open my eyes anymore. Good night..."
"No, it should be good morning."
"Oh, okay, good morning, good morning... Go to bed, go to sleep..."
Qiao Liang laughed silently again. Chatting with Ye Xinyi for a while made him feel much better from the bad mood caused by the nightmare.
Qiao Liang put down her phone and then lay down to sleep.
This time I slept deeply and did not dream.
After breakfast the next morning, Qiao Liang walked to the office area. He planned to go down with He Qingqing today to familiarize himself with the situation in the county.
As Qiao Liang walked, he looked at the blue sky and breathed in the fresh air. The sky here was so pure and the air here was so fresh. His temporary career in the North of Northwest had officially begun.
When walking to the office area, Qiao Liang met He Qingqing.
"Good morning, Director He." Qiao Liang greeted him proactively.
"Qiao County. Chang Zao." He Qingqing said.
"Director He, let's go down to get familiar with the situation today. We'll go to the office to plan the route first, prepare relevant information, and then set off." Qiao Liang said.
"Today?" He Qingqing frowned.
"What? Do you have something to do today?" Qiao Liang said.
"The director made arrangements yesterday. My immediate job is to accompany you to familiarize yourself with the situation. What can I do for you? I think you should be okay," He Qingqing said.
"What should I do?" Qiao Liang blinked, "What should I do?"
"You didn't receive the notice?" He Qingqing asked strangely.
"What notification did I receive?" Qiao Liang was a little confused.
He Qingqing said: "Notice of the county chief's office meeting. The county chief Shang will chair the county chief's office meeting at 9 o'clock this morning to listen to the report on the development of agriculture and animal husbandry and poverty alleviation in the first half of the year, and to study related work in the second half of the year.
, all deputy county heads are participating..."
Qiao Liang frowned when he heard this. Damn it, such an important meeting, the county magistrate's office meeting. As the deputy county magistrate, it is natural for me to attend. Why didn't I know about it? Why didn't anyone notify me?
Seeing Qiao Liang's expression, He Qingqing seemed to have realized something. He hesitated and said, "Did the director neglect you when he issued the notice?"
"Director He, do you think this omission was unintentional or intentional?" Qiao Liang said.
He Qingqing's heart skipped a beat and he hesitated: "This... I don't know."
Qiao Liang smiled slightly: "You don't know, then tell me, do I know?"
Seeing Qiao Liang's smile a little unpredictable, He Qingqing lowered her eyelids and said nothing. She didn't know what Qiao Liang was thinking at this time and couldn't answer his question.
Qiao Liang continued: "Since there is a county and mayor's office meeting today, we won't go down today."
After speaking, Qiao Liang strode forward.
Looking at Qiao Liang's straight back, He Qingqing bit her lip and frowned slightly. Qiao Liang had not received the notice of the meeting. It was most likely that the director deliberately arranged this based on Shang Ke's hint. Since Qiao Liang
I don't know how he will deal with this if he decides not to go down today.
