My beautiful boss and I

At this time, the voice of several colleagues nearby came. It seemed that a colleague of Dandong newspaper group was introducing the local situation and the country on the other side.

"We are surrounded by high-rise buildings along the river. The roads along the river are full of traffic. It's very prosperous. Look across the so-called city, there are low and dilapidated buildings. There are almost no vehicles on the roads along the river. It's very depressed The difference is obvious. Most of the residents in the residential buildings along the river are equipped with binoculars. When guests come to the house, they will first greet the guests and take a look at the scene on the other side of the river with binoculars. This has become the first procedure for entertaining guests. " Local colleagues said.

Several other people could not help but sigh. The local colleagues seemed to be interested, and then said, "let me tell you a true story that happened by the Yalu River. This story happened to a colleague of our newspaper group printing factory, who personally experienced the story."

"Well, say it."

Qiutong stood there without any reaction. I couldn't help listening.

"This colleague has relatives on the other side of the river. Although he is only across the river, he can't see each other for many years. Some time ago, through hard work, he finally got there. As soon as the two sides meet, they hold each other and cry. Just like when the volunteers were going back to China! Colleagues said don't cry, don't cry! This is coming! The mountains and rivers are not far apart! But how like after several centuries! But there is crying, is active cry, colleagues can not help but also cry, is small cry, is passive cry. Anyway, both sides cried.

"All the relatives who can come are here to gather together. When it's time to have a meal, colleagues open the wine, open the cans, open all kinds of delicious food that they used to take, and as they put it up, they can hear the sound of drinking all over the room. Holding up the wine glass, the elders began to speak. Thanks to the great leader Jin, they said one set after another, a little like the "three loyalties" and "four infinities" in our cultural revolution, infinite love, infinite faith, infinite worship and infinite loyalty.

"When my colleagues heard this, they felt very upset. What's this! But because of politeness, I didn't say anything. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere came up and began to move. The colleague said with the strength of wine, on our side, who is the guest who pays, everyone will thank who, just like this wine, this delicious, I brought it, what do you thank Kim for, you have to thank me?

"As soon as my colleague's voice fell, the table filled with people suddenly stood up. You look at me, I look at you, and my face is not color. Then, one by one, I put on my shoes and went out, which made the colleague sober up. What's the matter? The master exclaimed, "Oh! oh dear! How can you say that! Then he put on his shoes and pushed out the door. The child said that he had to report quickly.

That night, a few people in plain clothes and gloomy faces came. First, they had to go to see their ID cards, the PRC passport, and then they asked what you said when they were having dinner? Colleagues said: did not say anything! Plain clothes ask again: did not say what? Colleagues also said: Yes, I didn't say anything. I said that I brought so much food and drink. What do you thank Kim for. What's up?

"At this time, look around, the whole family is neat and well behaved. They all stand against the wall, shivering. After a few more arguments, a man in plain clothes said to him with a overcast face: you are not welcome. You must leave the Democratic People's Republic of tomorrow. The next day, my colleague came back honestly, but fortunately it was a border city, which was convenient. When he came back, he called his wife, and she asked, "didn't you say that you want to live there for a few days? Why did you come back so soon..."

After listening to the story, we can't help feeling more and more: "this is too strict, how to manage everything."

The local colleague went on: "on the other side of the river, the state controls everything, but the state is so poor that it doesn't care The country is poor, the people are even poorer! The food and drink here are very common. I haven't seen them there. Some people often exchange things with the people here.

"Let me tell you another story: on a winter night, people on both sides of the Yalu River met secretly. The people here are warmly dressed. There is a young man with almost no cotton padded clothes and single shoes. What he exchanged is wine here and mingtaiyugan there. After several times of bargaining, the exchange is still fruitless. At this time, the wind came again, and the north wind came whistling along the river. I could not bear to see the young man over there!

"Let me have a drink? The young man over there said it in half cooked Chinese.

"Yes, but I'll trade your minnow for it. People here said.

"How?

"A mouthful of wine, a bunch of minnow.

"The young man stamped his foot, thought about it, and reluctantly said: OK.

"Just opened the bottle, the young man said again: how much is a mouthful?

"A gulp, a bubble, is a mouthful.

"So the young man gulped a few mouthfuls, and soon the minnow he had brought was almost gone.

"What is wine? The scattered Baijiu on this estate poured into the beautiful wine bottle, but only two yuan a Jin. How many fish do a bunch of minnow? Ten, in our supermarket, a bottle of Baijiu also worth two or three fish."At a banquet after a meeting, a friend told me this story. He told me about the" stupidity "of people on the other side of the Yalu River. He told me how poor they were there. He said that what we had on the table today was a state banquet over there! After that, everyone continued to drink. But I don't know why, when the glass touched my mouth again, I heard a murmur, which made me feel terrible! After drinking and walking home, I always see a young man shivering in the north wind. Although, I don't know what he looks like!

"I just thought, what did we do when we crossed the Yalu River? If we clip together the scene of crossing the river in those years and the scene of a winter night decades later, what will the people on both sides say

After hearing the story, everyone was silent.

"Some of the traditional Chinese medicine on this side is recognized on the other side, and you can also exchange it with minnow." Local colleagues continue to say: "but some people here are immoral, bear family! Once the rice noodles are boiled with sugar and kneaded into a ball, they will be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Don't think that the dead director of the State Food and drug administration, surnamed Zheng, is immoral. Some ordinary people are also immoral if they are not officials! Several times down, there's no fool. When we got together again, we said: your medicine is fake. If you don't take it, you won't change it. This side said: who said it was false? Fake don't eat dead people?

"After negotiating the terms, think about it here and take some real ones. When the winter moon on the river dimly lit up, the people on both sides began to deliver the goods. They took a few boxes of traditional Chinese medicine, looked at the package, then opened it and nodded.

"Well, where are the fish? There with a finger, not far away in the snow, row after row of Mingtai fish, past check, almost, logarithmic.

"There seems to be some movement on the other side of the river before the investigation is finished. Hula, the people over there withdraw. When I opened my pocket and put it in, I found that I had been cheated. Those standing in the snow were the heads of many Mingtai fish, and they had no bodies. The sperm here is stupid! The fool over there has run away

Everyone can't help but give out a burst of light laughter. I can't help laughing. Look at Qiutong, she has no expression.

"Interesting. One more." Everyone asked.

"Well, this is the story of an officer crying." The local colleague said: "it's strange to catch another smuggler and carry a small bag of rice! There's too much money to eat. This one is carrying rice In the first instance, it turned out that it was an officer of the people's army and he took out his officer's certificate. Retrial, the man cried.

"A big man, what are you crying for? What's going on? It turns out that his daughter is going to get married, so she wants to use rice here to exchange some sheets and quilt covers. Then he cried and begged the soldiers to say: all soldiers, please help! Please help! When my daughter is going to get married, I don't want rice. Let me go back, but don't let me go back from the port. If I die, the whole family will be finished!

"The soldiers here can't help it, so they ask the local public security bureau what to do. Coincidentally, the father of the newly mentioned director of public security was a volunteer in those years and had some feelings with him. After thinking about it, he made a report to the relevant departments at the higher level by telephone. It is estimated that he did not say good things for the officers over there. The reply is that you should deal with it. So he arranged for the officer over there to have a meal, bought some silk bedding and some cosmetics, and asked him to take back the rice.

"Another night, the officer over there came back from the same road. When he left, he gave the chief of public security a slap at attention and a military salute..."

After listening to this story, everyone was silent again. Suddenly, my heart was a little sour. Looking at Qiutong, her eyes seemed to be a little angry.

One day, in a small Chinese town on this side of the Yalu River, you may not hear the laughter of a Korean girl when she got married behind the mountains on the other side. But on this day, there must be a Korean soldier crying secretly. For the sake of his daughter, he did not become a soldier in front of Chinese soldiers, but became a father once

Several colleagues went on walking again. Qiutong and I were standing in the same place, and I always thought about the story just now.

For a long time, I heard Qiutong give a low sigh: "the dog doesn't think the family is poor, the son doesn't think the mother is ugly No matter how poor it is, no matter how unreasonable it is, then It's also my motherland My mother... "

My heart trembles, turn face to see, autumn Tong corner of the eye hanging a few drops of crystal clear tears.

Sniffing the dense water vapor in the cold wind and looking at the ice covered river, I have never seen her look at night, quiet, charming or sad

The Yalu River is lying there quietly. When I look around the sculpture where people paddle and around the black and white statue in the daytime, I find that she is still lying there quietly, unable to hear the pulse and heartbeat.

On the other hand, the broken bridge still looks like a deep solidification in ordinary days. The snow on the ice in winter makes the broken bridge with heavy history seem to have a fresh life, as if it has forgotten the war, blood and tears and numerous bones.

the imprint is engraved on my heart. Wutong, I wonder if the bridge that had been silent for more than half a century would remember that in the bitter years, a girl was abandoned on the opposite side of the phoenix tree. There was once a girl who lived in this city by the everlasting and unfinished childhood and youth. Do you remember that I had a heart to heart with this girl on the cruise ship in the Yalu River?
