Life is more than just living

The provincial examination scores are out, and candidates are checking their scores one after another. Chen Xu works in a public examination training institution and is very well-informed in this regard. But Chen Xu didn't wait and didn't check his results at all. It wasn't until the interview list was announced that Chen Xu checked her scores. Her scores were not low: she scored 79.5 points in the "Administrative Vocational Ability Test", only 60 points in the "Application Theory", and 69.75 points in the written test. Unfortunately, she did not enter the interview. Even the teachers at the training institution said that her score was already very high, but unfortunately she did not make it to the interview. The teacher enthusiastically helped her analyze and said: "Your score is quite high, but you only applied for one position, and you met a stronger opponent. But don't be discouraged, you have every opportunity to make adjustments. Of course, you may also wait until Opportunities for replacement or replacement. Think about it for yourself first, do you want to make a transfer? If you do, you may not be transferred to which city or to what position, but there will be no opportunities for replacement or replacement."

Chen Xu returned home and told Han Yidao the news. When Han Yidao heard it, he immediately said: "Yes, this is a very good result. You didn't register for the class, which is equivalent to taking the exam naked. Keep up the good work and you will do well next time." Chen Xu was a little frustrated, but she quickly received the notice of adjustment. Chen Xu looked at the transfer announcement. She could be transferred to the Longcheng Procuratorate, but she couldn't make up her mind. Chen Xu was at a loss and said to Han Yidao: "I can now transfer to the clerk position in the Longcheng City Procuratorate to participate in the interview. However, I will not be able to stay here, and if there is an opportunity to replace the position I applied for before, I will miss it. .I do not know what to do?"

Han Yidao lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "Chen Xu, getting a formal job has always been your ideal. I think I should support you. Longcheng City is not far from here, more than 300 kilometers away, and it takes more than an hour by high-speed rail. . If you really pass the interview, then we don’t have to suffer here. I will work hard to make money here for the time being. I will go to Longcheng to see you when I have time. After we get married, we can settle down in Longcheng. I I have started to renovate the house I bought before. When you come back here during the holidays, I will visit you on weekdays. In fact, the transportation is so convenient now, and the distance is not too far. You don’t have to suffer from me over there. Mom is angry. I will be transferred back when I have the opportunity in the future or pass the civil service selection and then take the exam here."

Chen Xu was encouraged and nodded repeatedly. Han Yidao returned to his room and fell on the bed. He was reluctant to let Chen Xu go, but he didn't want to restrain Chen Xu. Chen Xu has been through a lot of hardships these past few years. She finally has the opportunity to live the life she wants. How can she stand in the way?

More than ten days after Chen Xu accepted the adjustment, he received a notice to review his qualifications in Longcheng City. Chen Xu took the high-speed rail back to Longcheng for the first time. It had been four years since he left Beicheng. It turned out that his hometown had already been connected to the high-speed rail. After finishing his work, Chen Xu took the bus back to Beicheng. She bought her grandma some snacks that she loved, and went to the fruit shop to buy some good fruits.

Returning to my home that I had not seen for many years, I had mixed feelings for a while. Beicheng is developing rapidly, and the real estate industry is developing well. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, but the area where his home is still consists of low-rise bungalows. Although he has not been back for more than ten years, Chen Xu quickly found his home. When Chen Xu returned home, he found that General Tie was still guarding the door. She had no choice but to walk to the entrance of the alley and look out. At this time, Liu Jiaxin's grandma suddenly discovered her. The old lady came over, looked at her carefully, and suddenly said: "Are you Chen Xu? Oh, this girl has grown so tall and has become so successful. I heard Jiaxin said that you and her A school said it would be difficult to pass the exam."

Chen Xu smiled and said a few words, "Hello, Grandma Liu. Long time no see. Are you feeling well?" Grandma Liu happily replied, "Okay! I'm fine with everything. Just wait, I'll go find your grandma." "He said and left in a hurry. After more than ten minutes, Grandma Liu led Chen Xu's grandma back.

Chen Xu's grandma carried some paper-shell plastic bottles in a woven bag. The old lady had sparse gray hair, and her face was wrinkled and dirty. When she saw Chen Xu throw down the woven bag, she wanted to go over and pull Chen Xu, but seeing that her hands were too dirty, she wiped away her muddy tears and said, "Xu, I didn't expect to see you again, come in quickly! Come in!" With that said, he quickly took out the key from his pocket, opened the door and asked Chen Xu to go in. Chen Xu followed his grandma into the house and saw that the yard was full of garbage. Going inside, the house was also full of things. In the kitchen, there were flies flying on the leftovers. There was only a small space to sleep in the bedroom. people. The smell in the house is terrible. Chen Xu found that there was no place to put his feet. Grandma quickly pushed the waste products on the kang in, wiped the edge of the kang with a towel whose original color could not be seen, and let Chen Xu sit down. Grandma Liu Jiaxin covered her nose and said, "You two, please have a good chat. I'm going back first." Then she quickly ran away from this dirty and smelly place.

Chen Xu endured the discomfort and stayed in this smelly environment for a while, then handed her the snacks and fruits he bought for his grandma. Grandma dragged her around and kept talking about things, saying that Chen Zhigang had no conscience and didn't care about her even after making a lot of money. She said that Chen Zhihua, Chen Xu's aunt, would come back occasionally and bring her some food, while talking to Chen Xu. He said that Chen Xu's cousin Wang Yu was already married. It was a lie to say inhumane things before, but now his wife has given birth to a little girl. As if listening to other people's stories, Chen Xu walked to the small house where he used to live, opened the door, and found that it was also full of waste. Chen Xu turned around and asked his grandma: "Why aren't these things for sale?" But grandma said: "Now they can't be sold at a high price. These things were very expensive in the past two years, but now they are suddenly very cheap. I don't want to sell them now. I will wait until the price increases." Sell."

Chen Xu didn't know what to say, so he told his grandma that he had something to do and was about to leave. Grandma wanted to stay with Chen Xu for dinner. Chen Xu said that he didn't have much time because he was going to Longcheng for business this time. He just came back to take a look. I bought the train ticket and will leave for the train station soon. Grandma wiped her tears and took Chen Xu's hand regardless of her dirty hands and said, "Xu, do you still hate grandma? Grandma used to be angry with your father and mother. I am also an old fool. Don't hate grandma. I There was nothing I could do at the time. I am a lonely old woman, and your parents don’t care about you. You have lived here with me for so many years, and I feel so sorry." Chen Xu couldn’t say a word of forgiveness, so he just looked at this quietly. People who have treated me harshly are now crying about the past. Grandma wiped away her tears again and said, "Isn't this all because of poverty? There is no way! My parents sold me to a brothel when I was thirteen or fourteen when I was a child. If I hadn't been poor, how could my parents have done that? Xu, I had no choice at the time." Chen Xu gently patted his grandma's hand and said, "Grandma, I'm grown up now, let the past be done. Don't go out to pick up rags again. The country will give you money now The various subsidies should be enough for you to live on. I will see you again when I have time." Then he turned and left. Grandma chased him out and looked at Chen Xu's back and cried.
