I remember that the last time I went back to my hometown, I found that the streets I had walked in middle school suddenly became narrow and ugly in front of my eyes, and my alma mater in middle school also became so small in my eyes.
Already.
But they were not like this in my eyes before. In my memory, those streets were so wide, and my alma mater was also very big. And the small courtyard where my parents lived, in my childhood memories
It was so spacious and warm, but when I went back last time, I suddenly realized that it was so dilapidated.
I remember when I was in junior high school, every time during the summer vacation, the adults and children would bring their own stools to the small courtyard, and then sit around and chat. The adults would tell stories, and we would listen curiously.
.
People at that time were actually very fulfilled. According to today's terms, the happiness index was very high. There was a primary school teacher who lived in the hospital. He once told a story that I will never forget -
The content of the story is that there lived a farm family at the foot of a big mountain. Their family was very poor. The walls were empty and they had no shelter from the wind and rain. Their life was very poor. The two old couple had no children and relied on raising a cow to plow the fields.
born.
One evening, the sky was cloudy and it was about to rain heavily. The old man said to his wife: "With this damn weather, I am not afraid of anything but leakage!"
At this time, the speaker has no intention of listening. How did the old man know that there was a thief hiding on the beam of his house and a wolf hiding under the cow trough? The thieves all want to wait until dark to steal when the old man is asleep.
He wanted to take his cow away, but the wolf wanted to eat his cow. But what he said unintentionally was heard by the thief and the wolf. The thief thought: What is the leak? They are so scared, I don’t want to steal the cow.
When he encountered a leak, the wolf under the trough was also thinking: He is not afraid of me but he is afraid of leaks. What kind of thing is a leak? The wolf involuntarily stretched his head out to see what the leak looked like.
At this time, the thief on the beam above became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He accidentally fell from the beam above and landed on the back of the wolf below. At this time, the wolf was afraid that the leak would come, but he didn't expect the leak.
Sure enough, the wolf came and was riding on his back. The wolf jumped out and ran away. At this time, the thief was even more frightened. He thought to himself that this leak is really powerful. If I am on top, it can pull me down.
It looked like he was going to die today. The thief sighed secretly: He thought he didn't steal the cow tonight, but he was missed and eaten.
The running wolf was also thinking: This leak is really powerful. Why can't it fall off my back? The wolf panicked and got into the woods. At this time, the branch hung the thief from the wolf's back. The wolf was frightened.
He panicked and ran away for his life. At this time, he happened to encounter a tiger coming from the front. The tiger curiously asked the wolf why it was like this. After the wolf calmed down, he told the tiger how powerful the leak was. Of course the tiger didn't believe it, so he
The wolf asked the wolf to accompany it to see what the leak looked like. The wolf refused, saying that he could not run as fast as the tiger and would definitely be eaten by the leak if he went there again. The tiger thought for a while and said: I will tie it with a rope.
I put my tail on my tail and put the other end around your neck. If leakage is really terrible, you can run as fast as me when I run. The wolf heard that it made sense and agreed.
At this time, the thief was wandering around in the woods, because he was so scared that he lost his way, but he was very happy that he was not missed and eaten.
At this time, he suddenly found an animal approaching, so he immediately climbed up the tree. He took out his knife and prepared to deal with it. At this time, the tiger and wolf also found the thief in the tree, so they cautiously approached it.
At this moment, the moon suddenly appeared. The tiger saw the cold light of the waist knife through the dim moonlight. He immediately thought that he was coming to kill him. He was so frightened that he didn't care about the wolf behind him and turned around and ran away. He didn't know how to cross it.
After passing through several ditches and forests, it finally ran out of energy and had to stop. It looked back and became even more angry when it saw the wolf behind it, because it found that the wolf was baring its teeth.
Lying on the ground, the tiger angrily said to the wolf: You still have the heart to laugh at me, I am almost exhausted!
"Actually, the tiger didn't know that the wolf had been dragged to death long ago, and all that was left was its upper body! So, everyone, please don't listen to wind or rain. If you don't understand the truth and believe the rumors, you will mislead others and yourself.
!" the teacher finally said.
Later, something happened to that teacher, and his incident was regarded as a legend by the local people.
That happened when I was in high school. For a while, the teacher felt that he felt uncomfortable and had pain all over his body, so he went to the hospital for treatment. Finally, he was diagnosed with cancer by the doctor in the hospital, and the doctor judged that he had cancer.
He only had three months to live. The doctor asked him to be hospitalized immediately for treatment. But the teacher rejected the doctor's suggestion. He said to the doctor: Since I only have three months to live, why do I need to receive treatment? Treatment
It was death, even if he was not treated. It was better for me to go out and spend the three months happily. After that, the doctor forgot about him as a patient.
However, half a year later, he suddenly appeared in front of this doctor. He came to see a stomach problem.
The doctor felt that this patient was very familiar, so he searched for it in his mind for a long time. Finally, he remembered it, and asked in surprise: Aren't you the cancer patient? How come you are still alive? The teacher replied: Yes,
I am that cancer patient. But I am not here to see cancer, but my stomach is very uncomfortable, and I may have a serious stomach problem.
The doctor asked him: How did you get here? The teacher said: I was desperate when you gave me three months to live, but I think since I only have three months to live, I might as well enjoy it.
I had some time, so I went out to visit the mountains and rivers. While playing, I went to eat local specialties. I ate everything I could eat, including delicacies from mountains and seas, birds and animals. I just ate while playing, forgetting that I was a human being.
The man was about to die, but his stomach was damaged by the food.
Later, this teacher actually miraculously recovered. His situation was similar to that of Zhong Feng that I later met, but this teacher’s situation seemed to be different because Zhong Feng had the factors that I treated him with.
But that teacher made such a miracle happen in his life entirely because of his open-mindedness.
I heard so many stories when I was a child, but now all I can remember is about this teacher. Now I know that he is actually also a wise man. Now in my eyes, those memories of my childhood have completely changed.
Sexual changes, but my respect for that teacher has not changed, because I found that the more my life becomes incomplete, the more my worldview has fundamentally changed, but the more I miss my past.
Those wonderful times.
At this time, isn't this peach blossom land we are in a place that each of us yearns for? Unfortunately, everything here will also change. And such changes cannot be transferred by our personal will, even if
Even Governor Huang can't keep this place as it is.
Maybe each of us has our own peach blossom garden, and maybe those experiences in our childhood are part of the peach blossom garden deep in our hearts. But as time goes by, the peach blossom garden deep in each of us will become just a memory.
, because reality has already shattered it.
At noon, lunch was arranged by the county committee and the county government in a small town at the foot of the mountain. It was also the first time for me to eat the legendary fish that came out of the Yin River.
I think they are not fish at all, but to be precise, they should be tadpoles, giant tadpoles. Their shape is exactly like tadpoles, but their bodies are the size of crucian carps.
The restaurants in the town are in poor condition, but the food tastes pretty good. The fish is a soup made with pickled peppers. To be honest, I don’t dare to eat them, but thinking about how rare this thing is, I always feel that if I don’t eat it
What I said was a bit regretful. So I picked one and put it in my mouth... It was soft, had no meaty feel, and melted in my mouth. Although it tasted good, I suddenly felt a little nauseated.
The other people were feasting there, and both Governor Huang and Minister Dou ate with gusto.
Zeng Yufang was also at the same table with us. She was so excited that she actually acted as a waiter. After the food was served, she started to scoop out a big spoonful of fish soup for the leaders on the table one by one.
But when it was my turn, I refused, "I'm not used to this kind of food."
Governor Huang said with a smile: "They doctors all have strange habits."
Everyone laughed.
I suddenly had a strange idea: This thing is actually similar to the beauty in the eyes of men. You have to taste it when you meet it, let alone if it is delivered to your door?
After dinner, the group was preparing to return to the provincial capital. Governor Huang pulled me aside while Minister Dou was going to the toilet, and asked me, "What does that woman do?"
Of course I knew he was asking about Zeng Yufang. I replied: "She is the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Medical University."
He looked at me with strange eyes, "Did you call me here?"
I shook my head hurriedly and said: "No. When I was the director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Medical University, she was my deputy director. How could I ask her to do such a thing? And such a thing is not something I should do.
Did you do it? It was called by Xiao Ruan, the office director of the Provincial Education Commission. Moreover, this woman has been arranged by the leaders of the Provincial Education Commission to be the principal of a school. I just know about this, but it is not convenient to say anything more.
."
He nodded, "Oh. That's fine."
Then he went to the team that came with us, and then said goodbye to the two people in charge of the county.
I was stunned for a while, and then I seemed to understand: Governor Huang, as a provincial leader, is very taboo about one thing, that is, he does not want me to introduce women to anyone.
This is actually quite understandable. If I treat every leader the same way and introduce women to them, then what is the difference between me and Kang Demao? What leaders require of their subordinates is loyalty and specificity, especially like this
If Zeng Yufang was really introduced to Minister Dou by me, then he would be simply a pimp, and he might also be in danger to Governor Huang because of this - walking at night for a long time is bound to bump into ghosts. This principle is just like that of a leader.
It’s the same sentence we often teach our subordinates: Don’t reach out, otherwise you will be caught. (To be continued)
