A young educated youth who repays his gratitude

The twelfth lunar month of winter is the coldest season in the north, and the northwest wind blows on the face like a knife.

A green leather train, screaming "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo----" train, slowly stopped at the edge of platform.

With a half-person-high salute behind her back, Bai Lele carried a large heavy luggage bag in each hand, and laboriously followed the crowded crowd towards the exit.

"Lele." Liu Aijun, who was walking beside him, raised his wrist to look at his watch, "It's almost nine o'clock, let's report to the Education Bureau first."

"Okay." Bai Lele nodded, gritted her teeth and quickened her pace, her voice filled with joy, "Let's hurry up, I have to drive the car later."

"Let's take a break first." Liu Xue, who was following them, said, "We look so dusty, and the leaders will think that our image is not good when they see it."

Everyone was packed, as if they were fleeing, and Liu Xue felt that he couldn't see anyone at the moment.

What's more, it's the leader who will meet in a while.

Bai Lele: "..."

He pursed his lips helplessly, did not answer the words, and subconsciously wanted to speed up his pace and get out of the station.

It's just that I took too many things, and I couldn't go anywhere fast if I wanted to, so I could only walk silently with my head sullen.

"Hi!" Liu Aijun suddenly smiled, "We have been in the car for a few days, how could this image be any better?"

After he finished speaking, he added: "The leader will understand, don't worry."

"But..." Liu Xue looked reluctant, hesitated and said, "I want to go home and clean up first, so that my family can rest assured."

"Then you guys go first." Bai Lele stopped, turned around and said to Liu Aijun, "Your family is in Crane City, so you can report any day. I'll go by myself first."

"This..." Liu Aijun hesitated, looking at Bai Lele and then at Liu Xue, "Let's go together, how can I let you go alone."

"That's right." Liu Xue looked at Bai Lele and discussed, "How can I let you go by yourself. Or let's go together another day, and let's make another appointment?"

Bai Lele shook her head without hesitation, "I live far away, it's not easy to come to the city, I'll go report today first."

He smiled at Liu Xue again, and explained: "I live too far away, and I have to drive for several hours. You are different from me. You should go home and have a rest. You can report at any time."

After Bai Lele finished speaking, she nodded to Liu Aijun, "I'm leaving first. We'll see you another day when we have a chance."

A few of them were classmates, they went to school together at Kyoto Normal University, and they made an appointment to come back together after graduation.

It's just that Bai Lele didn't expect that what was discussed in advance would change his mind now.

He didn't want to change his mind, and he didn't want to go to the city again in the cold weather, he just wanted to report first.

Then hurry back to the place that you miss day and night.

"Why is Bai Lele like this?" Liu Xue was a little unhappy, and complained to Liu Aijun: "I can't go someday, I have to go right away."

"He lives in the country, so it's not easy to go back and forth." Liu Aijun said understandingly: "Bai Lele is very frugal, and it takes a lot of money to go to the city by car."

Although they belong to the same university, they are from different departments, and they don't have much contact with each other, just because they are all students who passed the examination in Crane City.

Occasionally come and go.

But from the perspective of clothing and other aspects, Bai Lele's family background may not be very good.

"Oh." Liu Xue frowned with regret, "I don't know about this, but..." She still didn't want to report it now.

"It's okay." Liu Aijun looked at her expression and comforted her: "Lele is easy to get along with, and I will understand."

Girls love beauty and pay attention to their external image. It is understood that no one will complain about this.

Liu Aijun himself also wanted to tidy up and report to the Education Bureau to make a good impression on the leaders.

It was only because of Bai Lele, considering that he lived in the country, that he first suggested getting off the car and going to report together first, and then go back to each house.

"En." Liu Xue nodded, thinking that anyway, she and Bai Lele were not familiar with each other, and it was because of Liu Aijun that they had only met a few times, and they hadn't had much contact with each other.

"By the way." Liu Xue suddenly came to gossip, "Bai Lele's family is not from Harbin, the provincial capital, how did they come to this remote place like ours?"

"It seems that he has been an educated youth here for a while, and he likes our place very much, so he volunteered to be assigned in Crane City."

Liu Aijun didn't expect that Bai Lele would come here, and he only found out when he met him at the train station when buying tickets.

"What's so good about us here? Everyone yearns to go to a big city, but he is good..." Liu Xue didn't understand, but subconsciously felt that it was not good for her to say that, so she smiled embarrassedly, "Everyone has his own ambition."

"Indeed." Liu Aijun nodded in agreement, "Everyone has their own ideas, maybe he just thinks our place is better than a big city!"

He said this with a guilty conscience, the difference between a remote small city and a big city is not a star, not to mention that Harbin is a provincial capital.

Others may not understand, college students like them who pass the exam, but they understand the gap too well.

Just like when Liu Aijun first arrived in Kyoto, it was as if he had arrived in another world. He did not expect such a bustling and bustling city.

For the first time, he felt like a country bumpkin.

"You said..." Liu Xue thought for a while, and asked Liu Aijun: "The countryside he mentioned is the place where he went to the countryside. Are there any relatives there? I can't wait to see him, it's really strange. "

"I don't know." Liu Aijun shook his head, "I didn't ask about it, I just heard that he lives in the country."

He thought for a while, frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "The New Year is coming soon, he probably won't stay in the country for the New Year, he will go back to Harbin to reunite with his family, right?"

"But when we reversed the car in Harbin, he stayed for seven or eight hours, and he didn't say he wanted to go home." Liu Xue said hesitantly, "I was surprised at the time, but it's not easy to ask, for fear that Bai Lele might have something else. idea."

Liu Aijun: "..."

He seemed to understand something, and looked at Liu Xue inexplicably, amused but embarrassed to point it out.

He could only vaguely say, "Maybe it's because there's not enough time, or there are other reasons."

-

After more than an hour, Bai Lele came to the Education Bureau in a hurry.

Director Zhang looked suspiciously at the young man standing in front of him, carrying a salute about half a person tall, with a large luggage bag in each hand.

The waist is about to be bent.

"Director, I'm here to report." Bai Lele put down the luggage bag in his hand, took off the scarf covering most of his face, and said with a smile, "My name is Bai Lele, and I'm a graduate assigned this year."

As he spoke, he took out relevant materials and handed them to Director Zhang, "This is all my materials."

"Okay." Director Zhang took the materials, nodded and said, "Sit down first, I'll look at the materials first."

"Thank you, Director." Bai Lele thanked, but did not sit down, and stood respectfully in front of the desk.

Director Zhang's eyes flickered with admiration, and he looked at Bai Lele carefully, only to see the young man standing upright.

With clear eyes and a straight figure, he was wearing an army green coat and a military cap, and his fair face showed a touch of tenderness.

There is a gentle smile between the eyebrows, and the whole body is full of youthful breath, like a thriving young white poplar, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Yes." Director Zhang read the information again, and nodded in satisfaction, "We have already understood your situation. Your university called in advance to communicate, and you took the initiative to ask to be assigned to Crane City."

"Yes." Bai Lele immediately puffed up her chest, and said with a firm face, "I am willing to take root here and support the cause of education."

"The conditions here are difficult, and the salary is not as good as other places." Director Zhang said: "We especially welcome graduates like you to come to our small city to support education, but you have to be mentally prepared..."

"I know." Bai Lele understood what he meant, and said with a bright smile, "I went to the countryside in [-] and worked as an educated youth in Linhe brigade for half a year, so I know this place very well."

"Director, don't worry." Bai Lele said earnestly, and reassured forcefully, "I will not regret it. I will take my work seriously and be responsible for my actions."

Seeing his firm and serious expression, Director Zhang almost patted his chest to reassure him, and urgently sought a small appearance of his own approval.

Immediately laughed.

"Okay, I believe it." Director Zhang said with a smile: "Don't worry, comrade, sit down and talk slowly."

"Then..." Bai Lele hesitated for a moment, blinking her round almond eyes and asked tentatively: "Director, you won't send me back, will you?"

"Hahaha." Director Zhang laughed endlessly, and said with great interest, "We are thirsty for talents, and it is so hard to expect college students to come to report, so how can we send you back."

"You are the first college student to report."

Their small city is located in a remote place, and the economy is underdeveloped and extremely poor. Although some college students are admitted, not all of them are normal colleges.

This is the first batch of graduates after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and they are looking forward to having a few more talents assigned to them.

Especially undergraduate graduates like Bai Lele.

It's just that most of the distribution is to take care of the graduates now, and most of them go back to the place of origin for secondary distribution. The number of college students depends on how many people pass the exam in this city.

And most of the graduates who can be assigned to other cities will not be assigned to such a small place as Crane City, where there is a shortage of talents everywhere.

"Let's talk about your work first." Director Zhang: "You can tell me first, if you have any ideas or needs, we will try our best to help you solve them."

"I don't have any ideas." Bai Lele's eyes were full of joy, thinking that this director is really kind, "I personally obey the assignment completely, without any requirements."

He just likes the profession of teachers, wants to teach and educate people, and has no other ideas.

Bai Lele looked calm, "If there is any problem with the distribution, I will try my best to overcome it. Director, don't worry."

Director Zhang: "..."

At this moment, he was a little moved and a little guilty.

"We have financial difficulties." Director Zhang looked kindly, with pity in his eyes, "There is no way to solve your housing problem, you need to find a way by yourself."

"That's no problem." Bai Lele understood, nodded immediately and said, "I'll take care of it myself."

"Yes." Director Zhang pondered for a moment, "After the resumption of the college entrance examination, the number of students in each school has increased, and the city has recruited some teachers from various towns, so now it is the towns that are in urgent need of teachers."

He kept looking at Bai Lele, observing his expression carefully, wanting to see if he had any thoughts.

"Go to the town?" Bai Lele was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded to indicate that it didn't make any sense, "Yes."

Although there was a gap between the city and the township, Bai Lele didn't value these things, as long as it was close to where he wanted to go.

What surprised him was that for undergraduates like him, many places were rushing to get them, so naturally they were all assigned in the city by default.

It has to be the best school.

Now Director Zhang meant to assign him to a township, Bai Lele was just a little puzzled but not dissatisfied.

Bai Lele's big eyes were clear and calm, without any dissatisfaction in her tone, she asked, "Director, which town will you assign me?"

"You can choose this yourself." Director Zhang smiled, and said with satisfaction: "You are the first graduate to report, and you have the right to choose yourself."

"Actually..." Bai Lele was a little embarrassed, and said with a shy smile, "If it's not easy to assign, I don't have to choose. I teach students wherever I go, and it's all the same."

"Hey!" Director Zhang sighed, embarrassed to continue, but he still said: "Now there are no people in every township, and there is room for choice. You can just say where you want to go."

After speaking, he added, "We also try our best to take care of them and arrange to work in a place close to home."

He knew that Bai Lele was an outsider, so he didn't think there would be any towns that Bai Lele wanted to go to, but he still had to give the choice.

He also wanted to remind that individual villages and towns still have some differences, for this little comrade who has no opinion on distribution.

While Director Zhang was satisfied, he also wanted to give more care, but he didn't wait for him to ask.

Seeing Bai Lele's bright smile, she said happily, "Director, can I choose by myself?"
