Early the next morning, Wang Jun was woken up by the chirping of birds on the branches of a tree outside his window.
Get up, wash your face, brush your teeth!
I found a suit that I had ordered for 200 yuan when I graduated from college to take graduation photos and apply for a job, and I found the only pair of leather shoes that I also paid 200 yuan to order from the shoe box.
"Brother Jun, why are you not sleeping in the morning?" said An Lei, who was sleeping on the top bunk, sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"It's nothing, don't you think about how today is the first day of work after going to work? Thinking about wearing something formal!" Wang Jun said, squeezing some black shoe polish on his black leather shoes and brushing them up.
"What time is it?Brother Jun!" An Lei said, took out a cigarette from under the pillow, took out one and threw it to Wang Jun.
"It's early. Seven thirty. Why don't you sleep again?" Wang Jun took the cigarette, put it on the table, did not smoke, and continued to brush his leather shoes.
"No, I'm going to get up. "Oops, I've only been tired in the past few days, more tired than I was building a house at home a few days ago!" An Lei said, then lit a cigarette, leaned on the head of the bed and smoked.
When they finished cleaning up, it was almost seven fifty, so they hurried out to the cafeteria for breakfast.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Aunt Fu Lu had never seen them before, but she looked like cadres in their dress, so she said, "These two young men are new?"
"嗯，就是，姨。 "王军说。
"I'll just say, I haven't seen it before. ""Breakfast was oil cakes, pickles and rice porridge. How many do you want?" Aunt Lu said as she took out a bowl and served rice porridge for the two of them.
"One for each person!" Wang Jun said.
With oil cakes and rice porridge in hand, they sat down at the first table near the serving of rice.
"Young man, you can't sit at that table, it's the leader's. Master Fu Aunt Lu said.
So they quickly picked up the oil cakes, took the porridge, and went to the table in the corner.
At this time, several township cadres came to eat breakfast one after another, and they all looked at them sitting in the corner with very curious eyes.
After breakfast, Wang Jun and An Lei returned to the dormitory, boiled water, made a cup of green tea of 50 yuan a catty, and drank it.
"Brother Jun, what do you say, what are we going to do in the future?" An Lei took a sip of tea, handed Wang Jun a cigarette, and said.
"Who knows? I have heard that the township cadres are very idle, especially in winter, except for going into the village to eat meat, they are drinking and playing cards!" Wang Jun took the cigarette, took out the "Zhonghua" brand lighter, and said while lighting a cigarette.
"It's still very idle, and it's almost killing my dog in the past two days. I haven't shoveled a corn stalk at home!" An Lei said as he touched the blister in his right palm.
"Jingle bell ......" Wang Jun's phone call interrupted the conversation between the two.
"喂"
"Well, I'm Wang Jun"
"Okay, leader, where?"
"Old building 206, ok, good. ”
After Wang Jun finished speaking, he picked up the notebook and pen that he had prepared early in the morning, and got up to leave.
“谁啊？干嘛去？”安磊问。
"The leader called me to his office for a meeting. After Wang Jun finished speaking, he went out without looking back.
About half an hour later, Wang Jun returned.
An Lei looked at Wang Jun, who was both excited and a little embarrassed, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I said I was going down to the village in a while. Wang Jun said as he took off his suit.
"What are you doing when you take off your clothes in the lower village? How energetic is this suit in the upper and lower villages! At that time, I saw that our village party secretary led the leaders to inspect the work, and the leaders were wearing black suits and white shirts?" An Lei asked puzzled.
"You can change it too, so that people won't laugh at you for a while!" Wang Jun said, taking out jeans, a track jacket and sneakers from his suitcase and changing them.
After changing his clothes and going downstairs, Director Chen (head of Bao Village) and Zhang Qiang, another cadre of Bao Village, were smoking cigarettes below.
"Why aren't you wearing thick clothes? Your clothes are too thin to resist frost!" Zhang Qiang said.
"I didn't bring thick clothes. Wang Jun said.
"I'll get it for you, I still have it in my dormitory. With that, Zhang Qiang ran back to his dormitory on the first floor to get his clothes.
After a while, Zhang Qiang took out a somewhat faded "military coat" for him to put on, and said, "Don't look ugly, it's the treasure of our township cadres, that is, windproof and warm!"
Director Chen had already started the motorcycle and rode on it.
Wang Jun got dressed and stepped onto Zhang Qiang's motorcycle.
The two motorcycles drove out of the township government compound one after the other.
I don't know how long I walked, Wang Jun only felt that the wind was blowing in his ears, and in addition to corn and artichokes, there was also a newly laid plastic film.
When I arrived at the village committee, the car stopped, and the sign at the door read "Zhangchuan Village Villager Committee".
Two men came out of the house, one meter seven or eight, a fat point in the front, an inch head, with a little gray hair, and a thin point in the back, with a three-seven hairstyle, with a little long hair and very dark.
"Chen Suo, you're here. The man in front said.
"It's coming. Come, let me introduce you to you, this is a new graduate student in the town, Wang Jun. "Wang Jun, this is Secretary Kang, this is Director Guo. Director Chen said.
"Secretary Kang is good. "Hello Director Guo. Wang Jun said as he stepped forward to shake hands with them.
When I arrived in the house, because there was a fire, it was very warm, and pots of tea had been boiled on the stove (a unique way of drinking tea in the northwest countryside).
"Director Chen, I'm afraid I'll let you run for nothing again today!" Secretary Kang said as he took out a paper cup and poured tea for the three of them.
"What's the matter? Li Xiaohong has no one at home?" Director Chen took the teacup and said.
"No! I met me in the morning, but when I went there an hour ago, the door was already locked! I called you and Team Leader Zhang, but they didn't get through. Secretary Kang said as he took out three cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed them to them in turn.
"We had already walked away, probably because the road was too noisy to hear. Director Chen took out his mobile phone and flipped it up as he spoke.
"What then?" said Mr. Zhang.
"I think it's either like this, it's past eleven o'clock now, or let's eat some first, while eating, while waiting for Li Xiaohong, maybe the two of them will come back in the afternoon!" said Director Guo, who was sitting on the side.
"I think it's okay! But this Li Xiaohong's extra-recorded expenses (social maintenance fees during the family planning period) will have to be paid today anyway. Just now, Secretary Liu sent a message and said!" Director Chen said.
"Okay, I'll arrange a meal for them?" said Director Guo as he took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call.
"Is that Zhao's beautiful scrambled eggs with leeks and fried noodles with pickled pork with cabbage?" Zhang Qiang said as he stared at Director Guo and smiled evilly.
"Who else could there be? It must be Zhao Meimei! I met her this morning when I was walking back and forth, and she said that I should bring a message to Director Guo, saying that the light bulb at home was broken, so that Director Guo would have time to change it!"
"Then we don't know how to change it, touch one for one or change both?" After Director Chen finished speaking, everyone laughed.
"Brother Zhang, who is this Zhao Meimei, why do you all laugh at Director Guo when you change the light bulb?" Wang Jun asked in Zhang Qiang's ear without knowing what to do.
"Zhao Meili is a widow in the village, a man went to the coal mine a few years ago to mine, and the accident died. As for changing the light bulb, I guess you'll understand it today. Zhang Qiang patted Wang Jun on the shoulder after speaking.
"Let's go, it's over now, it's almost just right. Director Guo had already finished the phone call and came in from the courtyard and said.
"Let's go, let's eat first. Director Chen stood up and walked out, talking as he walked.
After a while, four motorcycles and five people left the courtyard of the village committee and went straight to Zhao Meili's house.
About half an hour later, the group arrived at the door of a peasant house with a brick and wood structure and a red iron gate on the outside and a mahogany door on the inside.
At this time, a middle-aged woman about forty-five years old, with a round face, shoulder-length short hair, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black high heels, walked out of the courtyard and said, "Ah, Director Chen, you haven't been here for a while." Hurry up, the meal will be ready soon."
As he spoke, he led the way in front and led Director Chen and his party to the house.
Wang Jun followed behind, looking at the big red straps under the white shirt on the woman's back, a total of three cloth bands that were wider and narrower vertically, and the red triangular silhouette wrapped under the black trousers as she walked.
