Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

On the night of June 1997, 6, on this special day, the entire city was filled with laughter and joy.

The Red Star Courtyard was hosted by three old men, who set up many tables of food and wine in the courtyard and invited men, women, young and old in the courtyard to celebrate together.

Those who had televisions and radios at home took them out and tuned to the same channel.

While people in the courtyard were happily gathering together, there were still people waiting patiently at the gate of the courtyard.

Suddenly, there was a roar of a car, and a black business sedan stopped steadily at the door.

A middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples, but who looked only in his forties, opened the car door and walked out. The person who had been waiting for a long time came up to him hurriedly and called him "Teacher" respectfully.

"Yes." Lin Zongxuan smiled and nodded, and said to the driver standing next to him: "Xiao Liu, please send Xiao Nie home first, and come to pick me up around 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

The driver quickly responded, "Okay, Minister Lin."

After the driver drove away, Lin Zongxuan smiled and asked the young man who was waiting for him, "Are you anxious, Director Xu?"

His smile is like the summer sunshine, warm and bright, with an indescribable affinity.

Xu Tangshen shook his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Teacher finally came back, it would be unreasonable for a student like me not to come and greet him."

When Lin Zongxuan walked into the yard, the crowd who had been noisy just now suddenly quieted down, and after a moment, the voices began to ring again.

"Minister Lin, you are here!" "The leader is here!" "Brother, you are here!" "Brother Zongxuan!" "Uncle, you are here!"

Accompanied by a host of greetings with different names, Lin Zongxuan responded with a smile and came to the main table at the front.

Sitting at the main table were several elderly people from the courtyard, including three uncles from the courtyard and Xu Wude (Xu Damao's father), Lou Xiao'e's mother Tan (real name unknown), Sha Zhu's father He Daqing, etc. It can be said that almost all the older generation were there.

The old man with gray hair on his temples looked like he had drunk some wine and said excitedly, "Minister Lin, do you want to say a few words in front of everyone?"

Lin Zongxuan thought about it for a moment and refused with a smile.

He would not spoil the atmosphere on a day when the whole country was celebrating.

Originally, the old man insisted that Lin Zongxuan sit at the main table, but Lin Zongxuan didn't want to take advantage of his seniority, so he sat at the table for middle-aged people.

All who sat at this table were the second generation of the courtyard's elder brothers, including Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, several brothers from the Yan family, Zeng Dagang who had always been at odds with Liu Haizhong, and even the three ungrateful people from the Liu family.

What surprised Lin Zongxuan was that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, two enemies, were actually sitting together with their arms around each other, whispering something.

Xu Damao's face was full of disgust, but Sha Zhu, on the contrary, had a bright smile on his face, as if he had encountered a great thing.

After seeing Lin Zongxuan coming, Xu Damao felt like he had found a savior. He looked at him with eyes that seemed to be asking for help and said, "Brother Zongxuan, please give us some advice! How can there still be a girl's parents forcing the boy's parents to quickly propose marriage?"

Sha Zhu curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Xu Damao, you are so good that you even came here to complain. Tell me yourself, would you be willing if I didn't force you? Why do you always interfere in the children's affairs?"

After hearing their conversation, Lin Zongxuan suddenly realized. No wonder his student's face was full of joy just now. It turned out that it was the Red Luan Star.

As a teacher, he had long anticipated that Xu Tangshen and He Chunyan would get together, and he could even be considered a half-matchmaker.

"Brother Damao, Brother Zhuzi is right. We should not interfere in the affairs of young people."

After hearing what Lin Zongxuan said, Xu Damao sighed lightly.

He really doesn't want to become a relative of Sha Zhu.

First, the two had been fighting and quarreling for most of their lives, and it was considered good if they didn't quarrel when they met; second, he and Jin Yunduo would rather marry their son to a daughter-in-law with a "clean family background" who could bring help to the child.

But as parents, how can we force our children to make a choice?

Before Lin Zongxuan could take a few bites of the food, people came to toast him one after another. Among them were people of his generation and also young people who were younger than him.

The last two were the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. After toasting, Liu Guangtian smiled unnaturally, as if he had something to say.

Lin Zongxuan looked at him indifferently, with no intention of asking any questions.

After a while, Liu Guangtian gritted his teeth and said, "Minister Lin, I heard that there will be a new demolition project in our district. I wonder if you can help us say hello to the relevant departments? My brother and I have collected some money, and this opportunity may be our last chance in this life."

Lin Zongxuan did not respond, but looked at the watch on his hand and silently counted three numbers in his mind.

"3"

"2"

"1"

The hour hand points to the top '0' scale position;

On TV, the bright five-star red flag was raised high;

In an instant, brilliant fireworks rose into the sky from all over the city.

At this moment, people of different ages, personalities, and regions were all shouting those four words at the same time.

"Listen carefully." Lin Zongxuan said to the Liu brothers with a smile: "On days like this, we just need to happily shout 'Long live the motherland'."
