all the way

Although the school has informed that if the students cannot find an internship unit, the school can arrange for them all, but most of the students still choose to go back to the province where their hometown is located to find an internship place by themselves.

The members of 219 are a little vacillating, and they will graduate soon. If possible, they hope that the brothers can stay together for a longer time.

But the graduation assignments of the seniors and sisters last year were still in front of them. Faced with the graduation assignments that related to their lives, they dared not be naive anymore.

What Dad Hei said is very reasonable. If you do an internship in a good unit, if you perform well enough, you really have a certain chance of being retained. The school also encourages them to do so, so although the chance is very small, many students They still want to give it a try, and most of the students who return to their provinces of origin for internships think so.

It was inevitable for Zhang Fusheng to go back to Donghai for an internship. Everyone understood his feelings, so even though he was reluctant, several people joked that he couldn't wait for three weeks. He packed his luggage early and waited to go back to serve Queen Mother Qiao.

Yun Jian's father also found a place for him before the winter vacation, but Yun Jian didn't plan to go. He planned to use this time to practice his breakdance all day long, and there are obviously more high-level talents in breakdance in Kyoto than in Jiangcheng. There are many, so Yun Jian must be going back to Kyoto.

Zhan Wei's initial decision was to let the school arrange it, so he was not in a hurry.

Mao Jianyong was struggling on the bed. He wanted to take advantage of the few months of his internship to go home and earn money, but he didn't want to be separated from his brothers. He tossed and wailed for more than two weeks. At the last moment, he and Sha Yonghe went to Han Tong and asked the school to send him They arranged for an internship in Jiangcheng.

Sha Yonghe has been acting the same as before for more than two weeks, always smiling calmly to see them tangling and arguing there, and he looks confident, making Liu Xia and the others think that he is already at his hometown during the winter vacation I've already found an internship unit, but I didn't expect him to come here at the last moment.

Hei Deqing was the most troublesome one. Before the winter vacation, when his father told him that he had found an internship unit for him, he was quite happy. Now that he found out that he was about to be separated from his brothers, he became anxious and wanted to Write a letter to his father and tell him that he will also stay in Jiangcheng and practice with other people in the dormitory.

Zhang Fusheng, Zhan Wei, and Sha Yonghe persuaded him: "Liu'er, don't be impulsive. Your father has prepared for you. With what happened last year, our distribution prospects may not be optimistic, although there is little hope left by the internship. It's small, but it's better than hopeless, you have to cherish it."

As a result, Liu Xia was the only one left in the dormitory who hadn't made up his mind yet, and none of the six elder brothers offered any advice to Liu Xia: there was a wall calendar brought by Zhan Wei behind the door of the dormitory, and Liu Xia would read it every few days. study the calendar for a while, and then say, "Our cats are sure to be very happy today, another week away."

Knowing that Mao'er was at home counting the days and waiting for Liu Xia to return, no matter how much they wanted Liu Xia to stay, they felt that they couldn't say anything, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations: Liu Xia accepted Huang Youguang's arrangement and went to Southwest China. In the remote mountains, he practiced with one of his classmates.

Huang Youguang said to Liu Xia: "Xie Renjie is my classmate. We were in the same class at the university. We studied in the United States together for five years. We got a doctorate together and returned to China. After I came back, I came to our school. He went to ** Construction Engineering. Later, the Ministry of Construction was restructured, and he worked as the chief engineer of surveying in the current ** Road and Bridge Group.

He seems to be a cold and unapproachable person, but you don’t need to feel pressured. In fact, he is very kind, with a straightforward personality, not playing tricks, and strives for excellence in business. Many people think he is too rigid and harsh, but I appreciate him very much. work style.

Surveying and mapping does not look as eye-catching as tangible construction, but it is the foundation of all physical construction. If there is a mistake in the foundation, once there is a problem, it will not be a small problem. Xie Renjie's motto is: to ensure the absolute accuracy of data , Don't let any hidden dangers go out in your own hands.

Liu Xia, there are still units that eat from the big pot, but compared with before, more units are transitioning to the direction of paying more for more work, but you must be able to prove that you are capable of doing the same job better than others. Only then can you get the chance to work harder, and then you can get more paid.

Many students feel that the internship is optional, and some students even find excuses to ask for leave during the internship period. When it is time to return to school, they find an acquaintance to stamp and submit a forged internship report.

If you just want to find a leisurely retirement unit, there is nothing wrong with that.

But if you think that your unit will gain a firm foothold in the future and be recognized by leaders and colleagues in business, internships are very, very important. The more and more complicated situations you have experienced in the internship, the more projects you have personally operated and calculated. , You can deal with various tasks freely after you arrive at the new unit.

The Road and Bridge Group where Xie Renjie works last year undertook the project of a new national railway trunk line in Central South Province. The railway is characterized by extension, and the land it passes may cover a variety of terrains. Xie Renjie is now leading a surveying and mapping team in the southwest It can be said that our country has the most complex and diverse geographical conditions. It will be very difficult to go there for an internship, but you can learn a lot of practical things, which will benefit you a lot in the future. "

Liu Xia nodded vigorously: "I know what you mean, I'll go, I'm not afraid of any hardship."

At noon on February 27, dormitory 219 went to a small restaurant for a meal. In the afternoon, Liu Xia and the others sent Zhang Fusheng, Hei Deqing, and Yun Jian to the train.

In the evening, after Liu Xia taught the four students, Grandma Peng cooked a table of hearty meals for Liu Xia to see him off, and paid Liu Xia the tuition fee for more than half a month. , Continue to make up lessons for several children.

On the morning of February 28, the other four people, together with Huang Youguang, sent Liu Xia to the military green open truck that Luqiao Group delivered supplies for Xie Renjie and his group. They say goodbye.

Although Liu Xia was already mentally prepared for the hardships of the surveying and mapping team's field work because of Huang Youguang's reminder in advance, he was secretly surprised by the hard work and harsh environment of Xie Renjie and the others.

But as Liu Xia himself said, he is not afraid of any difficult natural conditions.

But getting along with other members of the surveying and mapping team made him very uncomfortable.

The surveying and mapping team led by Xie Renjie is like a well-tuned machine. Everyone is like a part with its own fixed position.

What he can do every day is to carry as many tripods as possible, and when the official work starts, he will have nothing to do again, and no one will even let him touch the more precise instruments.

Liu Xia is not a person who can calmly rest and watch others work, not to mention that he is taller and younger than everyone in the team. This feeling of being excluded makes him very uncomfortable.

And Xie Renjie didn't seem to know that he was introduced by Huang Youguang, and he didn't even have a word of special care for him. If he didn't have enough trust in Huang Youguang's character, Liu Xia would have wondered if Huang Youguang forgot to notify Xie Renjie in advance that he was coming Intern here.

Liu Xia began to think about looking for a job by himself, but he was afraid that if he did something wrong, it would be more annoying. He could only imitate Lin Daiyu's appearance when he first entered Jia's mansion, and secretly observed what other people were doing, and waited for the opportunity to let him go. Do your best when you are on your own.

It started to rain lightly on the fifth day of his visit. Liu Xia followed the people who used the total station with a big black umbrella all day long, making sure that the instrument would not get wet. As soon as the operation stopped, he immediately wiped the instrument and installed it. stand up.

At dinner, a technician named Yu Wanqun said he felt a little uncomfortable after a few mouthfuls, then he leaned there and closed his eyes, and Liu Xia went over to discuss with him: "Mr. Do you count?"

The field measurement and data collection during the day is only half of the work, and the calculation of data every night is a task that every technician must complete.

Yu Wanqun was really uncomfortable. Seeing that Xie Renjie, who was eating not far from him, didn't respond, he agreed hesitantly: "Be careful, or I..."

Liu Xia hurriedly said: "I will be very serious and make sure that there will be no mistakes. I will calculate a few sets of data and send them to you for you to have a look. If you think it is okay, I will continue."

Yu Wanqun didn't see Liu Xia's calculations. He fell asleep after taking medicine, but Xie Renjie stood behind him silently at some point. When he found out and stopped, Xie Renjie took the calculation paper in front of him He picked it up to read, put it back after reading it, and said blankly: "Continue to count, go to bed early after counting, and run some time tomorrow."

From this day on, Liu Xia started a busy life of working in the sun or rain during the day and calculating data at night. He was nervous and at the same time felt at ease.

Liu Xia's field operations during the day were changed every ten days. Xie Renjie asked him to do almost all types of work on the construction site except cooks and team doctors. He was exhausted every day, but in the eyes of others, he I am very happy and lively every day, as if I will always have endless energy.

But they didn't know that Liu Xia was experiencing pain in his heart.

As the work area continues to extend deeper into the mountains, they often never see anyone except the colleagues who are given to them. Liu Xia feels that he is getting farther and farther away from the outside world, and he even has the despair of being isolated from the world. He felt that he couldn't hear a single word from his family and the cat, which made him feel more and more intense, so strong that he almost wanted to jump into the car and run out desperately.

Liu Xia feels that the days are like years, but in the eyes of others, he is happy every day as if he is celebrating the New Year.

Every day, Liu Xia draws a mark on the diary he brings, triangle, circle, rhombus, plum blossom...one shape every day, one cycle every seven days.

He has never experienced how urgently the cat misses him so accurately, it is a hope full of despair, and he feels that his hope is far away and may never come.

Every night, no matter how late the data calculation is, he will write a page of letters in the form of a diary, and these letters will be taken out by the next adopter to send them away for him.

He really understood the cat's feelings through his own experience, so he could not receive the cat's letter, but he couldn't let the cat not receive his letter.

After living in Jiangcheng for more than three years, Liu Xia still couldn't adapt to the humid climate of Jiangcheng, and the place they were in now was much more humid than Jiangcheng.

It was the end of winter when Liu Xia came. Although he felt uncomfortable, he felt that the problem was not serious. When it entered May, the humidity, heat, mosquitoes and various other small bugs were almost unbearable for him. Spots and red bumps came and went one after another, he scratched his body covered with blood scabs, but it was still itchy, but not on his face.

So others have always wondered that he, a northerner, adapts so well to this harsh climate. When Liu Xia really couldn't help but go to the team doctor, everyone knew what kind of crime this kid has been suffering.

But no one can do anything about it. All kinds of minor problems caused by humidity can only be cured by leaving this environment completely.

So until he returned to Jiangcheng at the end of May, Liu Xia was still in terrible condition. The school doctor prescribed three bottles of medicine for him: "Go back and take a shower, wipe your whole body, it's best not to wear anything, let it air out in the wind."

Liu Xia wiped the medicine, and was really naked, so he put a towel between his legs and lay under the mosquito net, crossed his legs, looked at his pile of letters happily, and smirked while reading: "This little stinky Cat, I knew he could score [-] in the exam."

"Hey, little fool, I won't be able to go back for several months, you made the whole family not eat buns for several months!"

"This irritating child, it should be called a spanking with such a Taoli, hehe, when Xiaoyun and Xiaolei met you, they met Lord Yan."

"Damn, I'm so fucking stupid. My cat's name is probably the only one in the whole country. How dare you copy it and argue with the teacher?"

Hei Deqing couldn't help it: "English class has been taught for so many years, and there are some idiots who copied other people's names together?"

Mao Jianyong said: "I heard a few big counterfeiters in our area say a word: You don't have to worry about self-made fools disappearing. The old ones are scared, and the young ones grow up. The laws of nature are unstoppable."

Yun Jian said lightly: "It's as if your family is not a big counterfeiter."

Mao Jianyong jumped up and shouted: "My family makes high-quality imitations, which is not the same thing as they deceive people with inferior products. Besides, my father has now cooperated with a real record company. In the future, our family will No more piracy."

Sha Yonghe said slowly: "That can't erase the historical stain of your family being a pirate manufacturer."

Mao Jianyong lay back on the bed and panted heavily: "From now on, you will no longer want to pirate copies. Buy ten or eight tapes of any song you like to listen to and listen to it backwards and forwards!"

The happy mood in the dormitory immediately fell silent, and Liu Xia couldn't laugh anymore: No matter how strong the desire to go home was, it couldn't offset the melancholy loss that the brothers were about to part ways.

Zhang Fusheng used to sit beside Mao Jianyong's bed to comfort him: "Wu'er, why is Europe so rich? Didn't it mean that in the 78s and [-] century, they drove boats to plunder everywhere, accumulated the first pot of gold, and then had the capital to complete the industrial revolution. Now the whole world is I envy them, who still thinks about what happened back then? Your family is the same, when you develop your factory into a famous brand company in the future, who will..."

Mao Jianyong said lazily: "If I don't develop into a famous company, let me continue to stay with you for a few more years, and I am willing to be scolded by you as a pirate dealer every day."

Liu Xia put on a pair of shorts and sat down on Mao Jianyong's bed, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhan Wei, Mao Jianyong, Sha Yong and three people are all interns at the Surveying and Mapping Design Institute, and they go back to school every day. They finished their internships and came back three days earlier than Liu Xia.

Yun Jian, Hei Deqing, and Zhang Fusheng came back a week ago. Yun Jian and Hei Deqing wanted to be brothers in the dormitory, and they couldn't wait to come back.

Zhang Fusheng wanted to come back early to sort out and hand in his graduation thesis and internship report, so that he could go back early and stay close to Qiao Yanfang in a down-to-earth manner.

They have no classes anymore, they only need to hand in their graduation thesis and internship report, and after finishing their defense, they can leave school after receiving a dispatch certificate, which will last about a month.

Liu Xia's internship report had already been written before he came back; the thesis was in his head, ready-made, and he only needed to transcribe those words and data on paper, so he finished it very easily.

His current task is to help Yun Jian write a qualified thesis and internship report.

The second day after Liu Xia came back, Peng Fei knew about it. He asked Gu Zhao, Huo Jianyong and Li Ming to come to Liu Xia and asked him to continue to give them extra lessons, at least five days a week. Liu Xia readily agreed: "Six God will do."

The result is that these four boys really discussed it with their parents and asked Liu Xia to tutor them six days a week. I personally took the test, and Liu Xia was one of them, so I came up with this idea at that time.

The boys made a lot of progress in the last semester. In the past three months, they have studied with other teachers intermittently for a while. They feel that no teacher is as efficient as Liu Xia, even though those teachers teach Very hardworking and of a high standard.

In fact, when these older kids asked Liu Xia to take extra classes, not only that the college entrance examination was coming soon, they hoped to get more tutoring, but also because they all liked getting along with Liu Xia very much.

So during this period of time, Liu Xia stayed with the brothers in the dormitory during the day, sorting out papers, writing internship reports, dancing, chatting, playing with them, and earning tuition fees at night.

The second week after Liu Xia came back, Huang Youguang came back from other places. He called Liu Xia over: "You may have heard that our school held a graduate promotion meeting in April, although most of the units in our country I am not used to this form, but there are still some provinces and cities who come to participate, and they are basically very good provincial units.

There are also a few units from your province who come here. Although these units are not ideal, they are much better than last year. They have read your files and grades, and they have a good impression of you.

Among them is a person from the Provincial Geological Survey Bureau, who is very satisfied with you. He is an alumnus of the same university as your teacher Qi. Your teacher Qi asked me and Han Tong to sit with that person. I think this unit can be considered , although there are a little more field work, but the benefits are good and the bonus is high, which is exactly what you need. What do you think? "

Liu Xia nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I'm not afraid of too much fieldwork, as long as there is a bonus, it doesn't matter how much it is."

After talking with Huang Youguang, Liu Xia was in a very good mood. If he could return to the original city and get into a good unit with a lot of bonuses, he would have the hope of transferring Maoer to a good school. Nothing could make him happier than this up.

Liu Xia showed Huang Youguang his thesis, internship report and internship appraisal, and Huang Youguang was very satisfied.

Liu Xia's internship appraisal was written by Xie Renjie himself. He was full of praise for Liu Xia, and his work attitude and professional quality were very good.

In fact, the night before Liu Xia finished his internship and was about to return, Xie Renjie put down his work and had a long talk with Liu Xia. He said that if Liu Xia was willing to come to Luqiao Group, with his current position in the unit And qualifications, he can guarantee that Liu Xia can enter the job smoothly.

Xie Renjie also told Liu Xia very frankly that their usual bonuses are much higher than their wages. The year-end bonus is usually comparable to the wages of ordinary employees in some institutions for two to three years, and other material benefits are also very generous.

Liu Xia didn't know what other trainee teachers were like. He felt that if possible, he would be very willing to work with Xie Renjie, who seemed indifferent but was honest and dedicated to work.

However, the fact that the cat cannot be taken out to school is enough for Liu Xia to give up all the above temptations.

Liu Xia would not beat around the bush and say polite words, he told Xie Renjie very clearly that he had to go back to the Central Plains Province, and he had a reason to go back.

One day in late June, Liu Xia had just finished taking his graduation photos, and just returned to his dormitory, lying on the bed and discussing with his elder brothers about their last dinner place. Song Yan ran in and said that Huang Youguang asked him to bring a message to Liu Xia, and Xie Renjie also returned. Jiang Cheng called Huang Youguang and invited him and Liu Xia to visit his house at night.

Huang Youguang had something to do in the evening, so he gave Liu Xia the address and asked him to go to Xie Renjie's house alone.

Maybe Xie Renjie's indifferent personality impressed Liu Xia too much. He was very surprised when he entered the very warm and comfortable room, which was very different from Xie Renjie's impression.

Xie Renjie's wife and daughter Xie Chanyu, who is in the third grade of junior high school, are both at home. Xie Chanyu's two good friends didn't know that their house was going to have guests, but they just came to play with her. They were a little embarrassed when they saw Liu Xia coming in, and they were about to leave immediately Leaving was stopped by Liu Xia: "It's okay, just play, it won't affect my conversation with Xie Gong."

Xie Renjie's wife is not only cheerful and enthusiastic, but also very beautiful. She jokingly asked Liu Xia if he was intimidated by Xie Renjie's wooden face when he first went to practice. With a single sound, no one wanted to come. They were frightened by his cold face, and when they saw him, they felt that they were doing something wrong.

After Xie Chanyu brought fruit and tea to Liu Xia, the three girls greeted Liu Xia politely, and went into Xie Chanyu's room to play by themselves.

Xie Renjie asked about Liu Xia's situation after returning to school, knowing that his graduation assignment has been basically settled, and while happy for him, the couple also felt sorry for him.

Xie Renjie's wife just heard him talk about Liu Xia's performance during the internship after he came back, and thought of what Huang Youguang told them about Liu Xia's family and cats, hoping to persuade Liu Xia to stay in school or to be admitted to Huang Youguang's graduate school, In addition, Xie Renjie also hoped to see Liu Xia again before he left, so he invited him and Huang Youguang to the house together.

But no matter how many future interests they listed, Liu Xia always insisted: as long as the cat can't be taken out to school or converted into commercial food, he will not consider that option.

Before Liu Xia left, Xie Renjie said to him: "Youguang is a rare good teacher, he has always felt sorry for you leaving like this, and I feel the same way.

Liu Xia, you are only 19 years old. Many people have not yet entered university at this age. I think it is understandable that you have to give up further studies for your nephew.

My nephew is now in junior high school. If he can successfully enter university, you will only be 24 or [-] years old at that time. At that time, I hope you can be admitted to a promising graduate student. Further studies are very important for your future career. important. "

Liu Xia solemnly said to Xie Renjie: "Thank you, I will definitely consider your suggestion seriously."

Liu Xia has indeed considered this possibility, and he also wants to continue his studies, especially with a teacher like Huang Youguang who is knowledgeable and not rigid, and who trusts and cares for him so much, but it is definitely not now.

Now, as the day of graduation is getting closer, he wants to bring the cat out with more and more urgency. Compared with the desire to hope that the cat will live happily, other things are insignificant and can be temporarily or even permanently. give up.

The sorrow of parting before graduation and the lofty ambition of a good man are entangled. Liu Xia's diary is filled with blessings and correspondence addresses, and he also wrote countless blessings in other people's diaries.

Mao Jianyong was crying: "You are all in the north, you can see us whenever you want, I am the only one so far away, and you still dislike the heat in our place and refuse to go there."

Liu Xia felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart, he swore and said: "Absolutely not, whoever dislikes who is a grandson, I will stick to the place where my internship is so uncomfortable, I will definitely go to you when I have time, our geographical location It is very convenient, all major railway lines pass by, if you come to the north for business, you must come to me!

And you, the location of Yuancheng is the most convenient. If you are on a business trip, the chances of passing through Yuancheng are very high. Then don’t tell me that you forgot about me when you bought the bus ticket! "

Yun Jian said: "Being a Chinese, whether you will go to other places in your life, you must go to Kyoto, right? If any of you go to Kyoto and don't tell me, we will not be brothers in the future.

Qi'er, both of your brothers are in Kyoto, you will definitely go there often, you must tell me in advance if you go again!

And Liu'er, it's very convenient to go to Kyoto from you, and you don't lack the money. You can buy a sleeper on Saturday night and sleep for a night. You have to visit me often. "

He Deqing said: "Our place is a little bit off from the map, but it is really close if you walk from Kyoto, and our place is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is especially suitable for summer vacation. I opened my house into a summer resort, waiting for brothers Fortunately."

Sha Yonghe said: "Although Ningxia is a bit out of the way and a little poor, there are many interesting places. As long as I allocate them well, I will write to you the address of the unit and wait for you to go at any time."

Zhang Fusheng said: "I may get married at the end of this year, I'm waiting for you! The gift is a joke, as long as you can go, brother will be happier than anything."

Zhan Wei said: "I will sit in the base camp and wait for the brothers to come back to visit relatives at any time. I will remember the agreement after five years. When the time comes, whoever misses the appointment, we will collectively break up with him."

219 The seven people decided that everyone would gather once every five years in the future, and the first meeting would be in Jiangcheng, and the location would be fixed every time they met.

The final dinner was held in the Hongbin Building, which was requested by Liu Xia. He used his tuition fee to treat the brothers in the dormitory to a sumptuous lunch.

Coming out of the Hongbin Building, Liu Xia, Yun Jian, Hei Deqing, and Sha Yonghe went directly to the train station with their luggage on their backs. The city where they lived for four years and brought them infinite good memories.
