Chapter 33: There is a time to gather and disperse

 Before Xiao Shuhe and Wu Wei were about to go south, Han Dahai suggested that everyone take a photo at the gate of the main factory. He now used the camera perfectly, and many of the photos he took were published in the tractor newspaper, and he also became a member of the factory's photography team.

The morning they left, the group went to the main factory to take a photo. Some late-ripening peonies were colorful. A group of young people stood still, facing the rising sun, with bright smiles, and their youthful appearance was probably like this.

The peaceful days are never long. Deputy Director Xue went to Xiao’s house and asked Xiao Tianye for help. He talked about Xue Peng’s “big rebellion” with a serious expression. The factory received an invitation from Italy, and the training plan was originally scheduled to remain unchanged in May. In this way, Xiao Tianye and Xue Peng could study at Fiat Company for three months with the study group. After that, after he came back, he would be tempered in his job and evaluated technicians at the end of the year. When Deputy Director Xue said this, he said that their plans for the next ten years were well-known.

But when Xue Peng was talking about going to the south recently, his expression quickly condensed. He didn't understand why these children were so restless. He knew that there were the most topics among his peers, and it was easy to persuade him, so he asked Xiao Tianye to persuade him. Xiao Tianye only said to give it a try. After all, Wu Wei and others had just left, and the outside world they said was colorful. In the era of life and clothing, young people had higher pursuits for spirit and material things. Only when they crossed the gap between ideals and reality can they know the taste.

The young man's little thoughts could not be hidden. Xiao Tianye had long seen that Xue Peng was very concerned about him, the eldest girl. One evening, he specially bought three bottles of Arctic soda in green glass bottles and invited the two to sit on the roof. When he was in school, he encountered troubles and lay on the warm roof. Seeing the starry sky shining at night, his heart was immediately translucent and light.

It was getting late, and at the most comfortable time of the day, three young people sat on the ground on the slightly hot roof. The breeze blew, and the sound of poplar trees "rattled" sounded. The neighborhoods were less hustle and bustle, and there was more tranquility and leisure. The intermittent chatting downstairs spread to the roof and drifted into the stars with the wind.

They just sat quietly at the beginning, and no one wanted to break the tranquility and pleasure.

After drinking soda, Xiao Shuyang stood up, raised his head, looked at the starry sky, and said with a little sadness: "I really miss the days when we were together all the time."

Xue Peng, who was always polite, was like a cicada in the cold weather, without saying a word. Xiao Tianye saw Xiao Shuyang nodding at him and knew it clearly. It seemed that they had discussed the issue of staying or leaving. It was meaningless to dissuade him at this time. So he asked directly: "Have you thought about what have you done to go out?"

Seeing that Xue Peng was not in high spirits, he said, "I remember Su Shi's poems. 'Dongwu looks at Yuhang, and the sea of ​​clouds and the world is vast. When will you succeed in success? Return to your hometown and accompany you to 30,000 games with you?' I will wait for you to come back and drink 30,000 games with you. During this period, I will practice my quantity well."

"Haha, Brother Xiao, so you support me." Seeing Xiao Tianye nodding firmly, he regained his eloquence.

"I just want to make a lot of money. Did you listen to Teresa Teng's tape that Wu Wei took? That sound is simply a natural sound. He came back this time and reselled those tapes and earned 200 yuan. It's almost up to our annual salary. Do you know whether the 'self-employed'? I want to be a self-employed."

When Xiao Shuyang heard this word, he had a strange expression. Then he talked about the derogatory explanation she heard from her neighbors.

It turned out that at that time some people remembered that self-employed young people were unemployed, and they had no factories to integrate into it. They could only resell some fragmented items and do some small business that could not be achieved. Wu Wei returned this time and was very glorious. Most of the neighbors used to sneer at them. But when they saw Wu Wei driving a car, the car was a "privilege" that leaders could enjoy. They replaced their previous contempt with envy, and no one had any grudges with money. The change was also the uncle Liu, who sold breakfast, who helped his accomplices snatch it because of economic reasons.

The factory paid for the goods. The factory thought that his elders were all involved in the land development and dilatation when building the factory, and built a small shop for their family. Xiao Liu must not be able to return to the factory and stay at home. He was poor and wanted to change. Until two years ago, he set up a stall at the neighborhood entrance to sell some fried dough sticks and soy milk. Because the ingredients were solid and the taste was good, the people who ate often lined up. In addition, the small shop lived a better life than the workers in the factory. Passersby who bought breakfast, no matter how old they were, began to casually express their contempt, "Xiao Liu, come with fried dough sticks." Later, they called him "Master Xiao Liu, come with fried dough sticks."

Later, Xiao Liu rented a house at the entrance of the factory, and his business became more and more prosperous. When everyone met, they changed their words to "Boss Liu". This is a later story.

After hearing the derogatory explanation, the other two people had surprisingly consistent attitudes. Flowers are not red for a hundred days, and thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, and change is the unchanging truth.

Xue Peng, who was excited, stood up. "Look at Wu Wei, cars, famous brand watches, and star hotels. My dad often said, 'Our tractor power is on the engine, and people's power is on the heart'. I am very energetic now, and the plane can be dragged." When he said this, his excited eyebrows were dancing. Compared to Wu Wei, Xue Peng's personality is really suitable for doing a big career. He has arranging business, and he is born with a businessman's face and smiles whenever he meets everyone. He values ​​loyalty, kindness but is not a "soft persimmon". He can eat outside.

"You should be at ease, the plane is not something you can drag." Xiao Shuyang's sadness that had just left was blown away by the evening breeze.

"I envy you for doing whatever you want." Xiao Tianye said with a faint smile.

"Brother, by the way. I saw my third sister holding your volunteer form that day, and it seemed like she was going to school. I saw that even if you were busy until the second half of the night, you would have to read the book for a while when you came back. This year, our family will be a real college student." Xiao Shuyang said this with a tone full of pride.

"Brother Xiao, this is making a fortune in silence. After passing the exam, we have to invite us to a 're really different' water mat." Xue Peng was cynical as usual. Only in front of his brothers could Xiao Tianye show some vitality and humor from his old age. He raised his head and raised his chest, patted his chest and said, "No problem. The water pipe is full."

That night, on the roof of a building in the No. 10 neighborhood, three young people laughed and shouted, as lively as the starry sky above their heads.

Xue’s father and Xue’s mother were like most parents. When they saw that the persuasion was fruitless, they inquired around and used all available networks of relationships, which was very effective. A letter of introduction from the Shenzhen Foreign Trade Bureau was considered to be the parents paving the way for his future. How to go this way can only be based on him.

When the list of students studying in Italy was finally confirmed, Han Dahai was actually on paper. There were many seniority issues in the factory, and going abroad was no exception. Just because the two people in front of him, one Xiao Tianye finally decided to take the college entrance examination. The time conflicted, and the other Xue Peng took the letter of introduction and boarded the train heading south.

Uninterrupted efforts finally came to an end that summer. When he saw the name on the bright red news in the factory, he understood the relief of the ancients "the light boat has passed thousands of mountains". In the future, there was no fear, and full of expectations, whether it was a dangerous shoal, a flat river, a storm, or a sunny day.

At the first time, Xiao Tianye wrote a letter to his pen pal, Mr. Bach, thanking him for sending the book written by Mr. Zhou Guoping. He was inspired and shared the joy of getting the notice. Given that the last time he was given a book, he thought of giving it back, and wanted to give it back to his favorites and give it a foreign book, but he did not find any book in the city. Finally, he asked his grandfather for advice. What kind of books is better for those who are older than him. When his grandfather asked the reason, he told him everything. It happened that his grandmother was reading a book called "Tang Poetry Appreciation Dictionary". She suggested that she could choose some at will, copy it down, and give it to that friend. She was sincere and precious. She also said that since the pen pal had read many foreign books, no matter what book he gave, he would always play a big knife in front of Guan Gong. It would be better to find another way and the poems he selected represent the taste and ambition of the selected ones. Make friends with literature and treat each other sincerely.

The collection of Tang poetry, composed of 100 Tang poems, was made of rice paper with good private collections of grandfather, and was carefully cut and finally bound into a book with cotton thread. Shortly after the book was sent out, Xiao Tianye received a reply. The content of the letter was only a few lines, expressing his love for the collection of Tang poetry and being moved by the sincerity. The letter also sent a book in English, a hardcover book on linen. The cover was a little boy, a watercolor painting standing on a planet, and the book title reads casually, "I wish you always have a childish heart." The book was not thick, even small and cute. The title was also simple and interesting, "The Little Prince". After reading the title, I turned two pages, and at first I felt it was just a fairy tale book. But the facts were not as simple as it seemed, and he even moved out the English-Chinese dictionary.

When he read the conversation between the little prince and the fox about the ceremony. The fox said, "The ceremony makes a certain day different from other days, and a certain moment different from other moments." He actually remembered the old book from his grandfather to read: "The osmanthus flowers float on jade, the streets are full of the first month, and the night is as cool as washing. The wind blows the beards and the bones are cold, and people are in the crystal palace. The dragon is sloping, the palace is rugged, the ethereal music and singing are boiling. The frost is everywhere, and the ground is full of colored clouds. Remember.

Last year, the wine stream pavilion, the light moon and clouds come and go. The dream of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was not right, but the autumn light was like this in a blink of an eye. The green bird came to me, and the good time was approaching. I send a message to my friends, don’t let down the cold and intoxicated.” The osmanthus flowers on the branches are like hanging white jade. The full moon illuminates the sky, drinking wine under the moon, and eating moon cakes. These are the special rituals of the Chinese nation for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After giving special attention to the ritual, they found that there were as numerous as cows.

Speaking of the ceremony, he remembered his eldest sister Xiao Shuyang. This was because he had to think about the matter carefully for them after listening to the rumors about the second sister.
