life struggle

The two of them worked for nearly an hour before they finished cleaning their bodies, washed the dirty clothes, and changed into a new set of clothes. 【 】

Because it was still early, I decided to finish the investigation of the last few children in the town in the afternoon, and leave with oil on my feet tomorrow, ending this difficult and unforgettable trip to the temple and city.

The children to be investigated are all in Sishi Town Primary School, so there is no need to travel long distances.Feeling relieved, the two of them were relieved of the pressure. They leisurely walked through the streets and alleys, admiring the scenery of the town, and inquiring about the direction to the school along the way.

The town is actually not that small. The buildings are based on the topography and built on the hillside. There are many winding alleys connected to the main street. The streets are mostly paved with stone slabs, narrow and deep.Some ancient buildings with hundreds of years of history are still well preserved despite the erosion of the years. People can feel the life of the ancestors and the vicissitudes of the weather. Going back to the era of the predecessors, I am full of emotions.

When I walked to the entrance of a restaurant, a person came out drunk, who seemed to be drunk at noon, just woke up, his eyes were blurred, his face was flushed, and he walked unsteadily. After coming over, I asked to take a break in the store and drink some water, the enthusiasm made it impossible to shirk.

The two recognized the comrade with the camera they met at Sanchakou the day before yesterday. They wanted to walk away quickly so as not to strike up a conversation with the drunk, but they couldn't get away, so they had to drink tea and chat with him in a private seat inside.

Holding a teacup in one hand, Wu Xiaojun asked casually, "Brother, thank you and sister-in-law for your help the day before yesterday. We avoided a lot of detours. I didn't expect to meet again today, which is also considered a kind of fate, but I don't know what to call big brother?"

"Brother... brother, you...you...too polite, just one... one thing, you don't... my name is Wang Xi... Chu... Chu... Wang... Brother, please. Listen...accent, you are not Ben... Ben... locals , where are you from?" Wang Xichu said tremblingly with his tongue curled up.

Seeing him so drunk, Wu Xiaojun smiled wryly, "This colleague of mine is from Pingbeimeng County, and I'm from Pingdong Yuanzhen County. I wonder if I've heard of it?" , Yuanzhenjiu, and Shibazi's birthplaces are still somewhat famous, and few people know that Wu Xiaojun often asked others habitually when he reported his hometown to others.

Wang Xichu's drunken eyes narrowed, hehe said, "Yuanzhen, of course I know, I've been drinking... Yuanzhen Daqu for many years, it's really good...wine."

Wu Xiaojun was very proud. Among the people he met for the first time since he came to Pingxi, he was the first to know Yuan Zhen, so he asked him, "Brother, where did you graduate and what did you do?"

"I, I can't talk about... high school. After I transferred from the army to... career, I traveled all over the... great river... north and south. I went to many... places and enjoyed... the famous... places of interest in various places. The main thing is Engage in...literary creation. Although I graduated from junior high school, my diploma is not low. I have a college diploma in literature,...a college diploma in photography. So far..., I have published more than three...hundreds in major newspapers...magazines An article...chapter, two novella...novels." Maybe it was because he drank too much. Lie down on the table and snore.

Wu Xiaojun listened to him, although he was burning with anxiety, he still approved and admired him from the bottom of his heart. If he wasn't drunk like this and had something to do, he really wanted to have a long talk with him.Wu Xiaojun stood up, pushed gently, Wang Xichu fell into a deep sleep and didn't move, he didn't know when he would wake up, so he discussed with Bai Lingyan, greeted the waiter in the store and left.

Led by a simple middle-aged man with a basket on his back, they copied the path, beat around the bush, turned east and west, and the two arrived at the school without much effort. They met the principal and found out about the conditions of the children. Everything went smoothly. .After coming out of Sishi Town Primary School, all the visits and investigations have been completed. The tense and busy days, ups and downs, joys and sorrows, come to an end, and a sense of accomplishment and pride emerges spontaneously.

That night, the two sorted out the collected materials and wrote a research report eloquently.

It may be the last time for the two to work together at this special time and place in a small town in a foreign land. share this unusual short experience on the road of life, and happily think about the future study, love, career and life, until late at night, still not tired, and still have more ideas.

At noon the next day, after visiting the head of the education team, the secretary of the Youth League Committee and others, the two boarded the bus bound for the county seat, bid farewell to the town with a surging heart, and ended their trip to the temple city.When I arrived at the county seat, after several twists and turns, I handed in the report and relevant materials to the office of the Youth League Committee, and finally drew a successful conclusion to the social practice activities of college students in the summer vacation, which showed the potential strength of the two and enhanced my confidence in dealing with complex situations in the future. , as well as the courage, will and determination to overcome all difficulties, from then on the two began their rough and bumpy struggle in life.

When the two returned to school, it was already the first lights, so they went directly to the Yipin Fresh Vegetable Restaurant and had a delicious dinner to celebrate and say goodbye.

After the meal, they walked back to the dormitory side by side, talking and laughing happily.

Walking to the central square in front of the dormitory area, Wu Xiaojun was surprised to see Zhang Yanchun and Liu Haiyan standing and talking, and walked up quickly and asked, "You two are very leisurely, aren't you a large group with a large number of households? Why did you come back so soon? We thought that there would be fewer children, so we must be the first to finish the visit. I didn’t expect your speed to be faster than expected. How do you feel?”

Zhang Yanchun said angrily, "The local villages and towns don't take us seriously at all. Everyone is arrogant, blowing their beards and staring at each other. They are unreasonable and unreasonable. People just look at them and don't beat them up." Although there are more than 120 children to visit, in fact, we did not even visit ten houses. We only met a few children symbolically, and then went to the local fun places with mountains and rivers for two days, and then directly came back."

Wu Xiaojun said, "Didn't you report the investigation results and situation to the Tuan County Party Committee?"

Liu Haiyan was full of complaints, and said nonchalantly, "They ignore us no matter what the report is, so we don't take it to heart, and no one can do anything to us if we don't report it. We left without meeting them. If they want to investigate by themselves, their attitude is not friendly at all, and they also want to manipulate people and let us work for them, which is a good idea, how can there be such a good thing."

The social practice activities of college students this summer were not as complicated as Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan imagined. Many people saw that something was wrong after they arrived in the townships. They either simply investigated several companies, or went directly to the mountains and rivers. After entering the county party committee compound, he returned directly.No one persisted at all, going all the way to the dark, conducting solid research, and trying every means to find out the truth.The vast majority of people are in the same situation. The so-called investigation is a mere formality without any real content and practical significance.

Wu Xiaojun felt a little unnatural, wondering if Bai Lingyan would understand and approve her way of being out of tune with others, would she feel resentful if she was allowed to suffer with her, would she think that she was not flexible enough and didn't know how to be flexible.Involuntarily glanced at Bai Lingyan, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that the two of us are following the rules, truly, implementing their spirit to the letter, and devoting ourselves to working hard for others. If we follow the rules of the two of them This way, we can run back in less than a day, and we won’t beg grandpa to sue grandma, be neglected and stared at, go through all kinds of troubles, be in a mess, fall out of the situation, and be in shock.”
