Faced with a choice, fish or bear paw? (166)

author:Saburo Iya

  Under the scorching sun, carrying 18 letters of recommendation running in the streets and alleys, the taste is not good, cold eyes, hitting the wall, pushing away, helpless, in the world where the spirit of the commodity has been soaked, just by relying on a piece of paper human feelings, it is almost impossible to do a big thing with a high gold content.

  Teacher Liu Chunzhao asked for a very heavy letter of recommendation, which was written by a leader himself, and asked a chief editor of Jiangsu Provincial Newspaper to help me and take me under his command. The editor-in-chief respected the recommender and received me very solemnly.

  He made it clear that the newspaper was acceptable. However, the problem of the house cannot be solved for the time being, and it will take a few years to wait, because many old comrades have not yet been ranked!

  In addition, my wife's job could not be arranged, she had neither education nor a major, and the hard lever was blocked out of the door. You can only find a way to find a unit yourself.

  As a small company cadre, it is already a big bargain to be able to enter the provincial newspaper after changing careers, which is a very high platform, and there is a chance to contact people from all walks of life, and there will be a lot of room for development if you grasp it well. I believe that as long as I can stand firm and give me a few years, my wife's work and house will no longer be a problem.

  But now? My wife went south with me thousands of miles, far away from my relatives' homeland, and had already made great sacrifices, if the work was no longer smooth, and life was unstable, it was bound to bear greater pain, and the family could not be happy and harmonious, which was a result that I was extremely unwilling to see. Stop, stop, stop, give up this path!

  Nanjing Radio has a program that listeners like very much, called "Voice of Youth", the host is "Xuemei Big Sister", she collects, edits, broadcasts as a whole, the text is free, the language is wise, and she is quite famous in the Nanjing media industry. Teacher Liu Chunzhao also asked her to recommend it to me.

  Finding her on the radio and presenting her with a letter, she took a look at it and said casually, "Why does Chun Zhao recommend anyone?" Not to mention an instructor, two days ago, a regimental cadre came and was sent by us. ”

  I was a little embarrassed, Sister Xuemei probably sensed it, a little embarrassed to say, "Chunzhao is my good friend, you are also a good friend of Chunzhao, today I am very busy, can not accompany you, another day please come to my house on Sunday to sit down!" ”

  On Sunday morning, I came to Changjiang Road as promised, turned around in the alley, climbed up a seven-story building, and came to Xuemei's house.

  She said, I don't do anything today, I just chat with you. Later, I learned that she was busy with various things almost every day, so that it was unique to spend all day with a strange visitor.

  What the literati discuss is nothing more than an article. People read it, full of pen and ink. If compared to each other, Chun Zhao wen is generous and majestic, just like the hero was born, the mountains and rivers vibrate: Xuemei Wen is pure and true, straight as the clouds and flowing water, and the moisturizer is silent. The two of them are in a good situation, and they can be our teachers.

  "Sister Xuemei" is the stage name of the radio station, she is a few years older than me, formerly the secretary of the Youth League Committee of a company, and gave up a small wusha for the journalism career she likes.

  Liu Chunzhao also abandoned his career as an actor and went to the news, and an old reporter of the People's Daily that I later knew resolutely resigned as the director of the general office of the municipal government and became the director of the Anhui reporter station, which shows the professional charm of the reporter in the 1980s who is full of family and national feelings.

  I also offered the old newspaper clippings and asked Sister Xuemei for advice. She carefully read a few articles and said with joy: "Your article is like a person, cheerful and atmospheric, straight into the heart, I appreciate it!" First of all, I thought you were as rustic as some military men, but I looked down on you, and I really couldn't help it. ”

  Oh, as long as people speak, they will inevitably show their stuffing, or embroidered poetry books, or grass on their tongues, unless you have superhuman concentration and remain silent forever.

  Xuemei said, I helped you, first consider staying in the municipal news media, not to find a good unit.

  I said, don't be too troublesome, I think they are also difficult to solve the problem of house and my wife's work, I have optimistic about a large enterprise in Jiangbei that has just been built, these problems can be solved once and for all, as long as you can achieve the line, I heard that it is very difficult to enter.

  Xuemei smiled, this is easier to do, I know a certain bureau chief, this little thing is like probing for things, as long as you write a note with two fingers wide, hand it over to your subordinates.

  Sister Xuemei is gentle and gentle, but has a special personality charm, as long as she knows her friends, they are very willing to contribute to her, not only is not too troublesome, but also thinks that doing things for her is a very pleasant thing.

  Sister Xuemei is also very enthusiastic and willing to help the people she admires.

  Often she helps A find a good doctor, and the doctor asks her to find a good teacher for the child, and the teacher asks her to find a good doctor, so she always helps her friends in the car and can't stop.

  I am very grateful to Sister Xuemei, and sincerely said: "I will please you for your face, but I will prepare the thank you gift early, please don't be polite."

  Sister Xuemei was a little displeased: "Sanlang, I am only willing to help you because I appreciate your character articles, why do I still want you to prepare gifts?" Friends help me, I help friends, all do not need to be rewarded, you do not spend a penny, otherwise we are not friends! ”

  I was so ashamed and respected this eldest sister in my heart, and she became my best friend in Nanjing.

  Sister Xuemei is always busy, it is difficult to meet, the phone is only open once a year and a half, I am afraid of disturbing and want to ask Ann, very embarrassed.

  Sometimes, just after talking to her, she would suddenly interrupt me and ask, "Sanlang, are you in any trouble?" How can it sound like the mood is not high? What trouble must you tell me? "Since then, I have been very energetic when I call her, so that she will not worry about me.

  One year during the Spring Festival, my wife and daughter gave Xuemei Sister a New Year's greeting and brought a wild big turtle to Sister Xuemei.

  Sister Xuemei told me that she now believes in Buddhism, and her name is "Miaolian Resident". I gave her turtles, and she immediately took a taxi to Xuanwu Lake to release them.

  My transfer assignment really went smoothly, and the superior looking for the subordinate to do things was always the green light. It turned out that she had also entrusted a doctor in the city who did not have a big face, and she wanted to find the upper one through the following, and also saved this relationship.

  Teacher Zheng, a senior female reporter of the provincial newspaper, specially accompanied me to this enterprise, found the propaganda minister, and finalized my post with him face to face - enterprise newspaper reporter.

  I handed over the newspaper clippings and the membership card of the Changchun Writers Association, and pretended to be modest and said, "I don't know if I can adapt to this work." I don't know how much worse than the level of my colleagues? ”

  The minister smiled and said, "You'll know when you come, they—"

  Old Tolstoy famously said: "A woman has no class, because which class she marries is which class."

  Men are the same, ah, in a thought, I played a rocker between the largest newspaper and the smallest newspaper in the province, fish and bear paws can not be both, now believe it!
