The sun is in full swing in June.

On the rugged mountain road, Chang Ning walked leisurely with a wooden stick, and behind him was Huang Xiaodong, who was thinner than him, with a bitter face covered with sweat, and he reluctantly followed with a load of luggage.

Shuiyang Commune is in the southeast of Qingyang County, a small peninsula on the edge of the East China Sea, there is no direct highway from the county seat to Shuiyang Commune, the bearded section chief arranged the only broken jeep of the Organization Department, but unfortunately the car can only drive to the foot of Qingling Mountain, which is 800 meters above the sea, and then it has to rely on this "No. 11" to advance.

"Brother Chang, let's rest for a while before leaving." Huang Xiaodong begged with a sad face.

Chang Ning knocked Huang Xiaodong's buttocks a few times with the wooden stick in his hand, and scolded happily: "Damn Huang Xiaodong, if you stink again, I will throw you into the ravine to feed the wolves." ”

Huang Xiaodong didn't dare to shout again, but muttered: "This ghost place, no one hears me when I call it, but we are brothers, we have blessings and hardships, you can't let me carry my luggage alone." ”

Chang Ning stopped, took Huang Xiaodong a few steps closer, and suddenly flew up and kicked him hard with his right leg, "I'm sorry, brother, if it weren't for your kid to do something to Zhang Gaoming, could we be assigned?" Hmph, beating people is like beating a dog, it depends on the owner. ”

Huang Xiaodong said bitterly: "Brother Chang, you know that you are being assigned, so you don't need to pull your brother away." ”

"Hehe," Chang Ning was happy, "Hehe, we are dignified college students, intellectuals in the new era, and the future pillars of the motherland, inexplicably sent to this place where the ghost can't stay, do you have to drag an illiterate mat back, besides, I won't rescue you from the agricultural machinery factory, and your kid will not be killed by Zhang Gaoming's fox friend and dog?" ”

"Hehe, according to what you say, I'm also a national cadre," Huang Xiaodong gasped and said, "I can't pick this luggage alone." ”

Chang Ning said with a smile: "Phew, Lao Tzu is the head of the Shuiyang People's Commune, can you personally pick up the luggage, have you ever seen the leader work in person, you are a father who does not kiss his mother and does not hurt to work instead of working, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and he is still a worker at the root, hehe, a worker who works." ”

Huang Xiaodong shouted: "The great leader taught us that the working class leads everything. ”

"Hehe, well said, you working class lead everything, so this baggage belongs to your leadership, and going up and down the mountain is your stupid boy's job, hehe."

Chang Ning no longer paid attention to Huang Xiaodong, and was happy alone, jumping into the mountain trail.

Qingyang plugs in the clouds, Qingling walks for half a year, this is a portrayal of the two mountains in Qingyang County, from morning to afternoon, Chang Ning and Huang Xiaodong are fighting while hurrying, when the sun is about to approach the west of the mountain, the two people came out of the rocks, and Shuiyang Street also came into view at the right time.

"My mother," Huang Xiaodong wiped his sweat and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Brother Chang, your Shuiyang is really not a place for people to stay, at a glance except for stones or stones, no wonder the provincial governor said that your Shuiyang Commune is a begging commune." ”

Chang Ning knocked Huang Xiaodong with the wooden stick in his hand again, glared at him and said: "Bah, which bastard governor said it, I tore his stinky mouth, Shuiyang Commune was Nuwa's hometown back then, but her old man didn't learn mathematics well, and these stones were left over from her to make up for the sky." ”

Huang Xiaodong's eyes lit up and asked, "Damn, Nuwa, she's a big beauty, right?" ”

Chang Ning was happy when he heard this, "Hehe, we don't know if her old man is beautiful or not, anyway, in addition to the stones, there are many beautiful women in Shuiyang Commune." ”

There were no pedestrians on the road, Chang Ning's heart sank, it was time to make dinner, but there was not much cooking smoke in the sky above Shuiyang Street, and the lively and noisy small market town in his childhood memory was terrifyingly silent at this time.

Shuiyang Street is actually a small street, built along an unknown stream, with two- and three-story stone houses on both sides, and the commune is at the end of the small street, in an old landlord's house.

Chang Ning and Huang Xiaodong glanced at each other, didn't dare to speak, and stepped lightly on the stone road under their feet, unable to bear to look at both sides of the narrow street, because it was useless to look, and no door facing the street was open.

At the door of the dilapidated commune, there are three wooden signs, which are the party committee and the management committee, and one is the armed forces.

Glancing at the door, Huang Xiaodong threw down his luggage and sat down on the steps at the door, "Hey, it's finally here, Brother Chang, I can't even see a figure, is this still the government of our xx party?" ”

Chang Ning glared at Huang Xiaodong, squatted at the door and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit the fire, took a few puffs slowly, and said seriously: "Xiaodong, if you come, you will be safe, keep a normal heart, before stepping into this gate, I want to warn you a few words, even if our suffering begins now, we have no way out, we can only move forward and not retreat, I am full of enthusiasm, and you kid can't hold me back." ”

Huang Xiaodong smiled bitterly: "Brother Chang, it's all here, anyway, I don't have a father or a mother, I have nothing to worry about, what the hell can I say, I'll follow you in this life." ”

Chang Ning nodded, "You remember it for me, no matter who asks in the future, you must not say that we are assigned, but that we took the initiative to ask to work in Shuiyang Commune." ”

Huang Xiaodong said: "Hehe, Brother Chang, you are a fat man who is slapping your face, can people believe it?" ”

kicked Huang Xiaodong again, Chang Ning said with a straight face: "Damn, it's about the glorious image of this leader, no matter what others think and say, anyway, you have to say it nicely, remember?" ”

"Remember, remember," Huang Xiaodong shrank and said with a smile, "Brother Chang, don't forget, introduce me to a beautiful girl as a partner, this is what you agreed to when we met a year ago." ”

"Hehe, there are counts," Chang Ning leaned against the door, looking at the last trace of the sunset and scolded with a smile, "Damn, this leader is three years older than you, and the object is still hidden in the belly of the mother-in-law, what are you anxious about, hehe, don't be in a hurry, Comrade Lenin said, there will be bread, Comrade Chang Ning said, the girl will have it." ”

Huang Xiaodong's bitter face bloomed with a little smile, "Brother Chang, then let's go in?" ”

Chang Ning straightened up, waved his hand and said: "Comrade Huang Xiaodong, agricultural mechanic, I order you to go in now, let the people who have not left and died in this gate get out to welcome the new leader of the Shuiyang People's Commune." ”

"Hehe," Huang Xiaodong got up, pointed to the door and asked, "Comrade leader, do you guarantee that there are still living people here?" ”

Chang Ning laughed, "Of course, Shuiyang Commune is dead, and the old immortal named Wang Shi must still be alive, go quickly." ”
