all the way

Liu Xia opened the doors, and Liu Hai, who was carrying the big mat tube on his back, said "I'm sorry", and took a step back. He returned home and lived in the cave for more than a month, and he couldn't accept the heat from Liu Xia's dormitory.

The cat didn't care at all, and ran into the house, jumped on the bed skillfully and opened the window. When Liu Xia opened the bathroom window, he opened the small kitchen door and window.

Ever since Liu Xia told him that air convection can properly lower the temperature in the room, he would close the big south window at around ten o'clock every day, and open it again when the outside temperature dropped at night.

The three of them spread out the super big sheets and super big summer mats that were sewn at home, and the room felt different immediately.

When the bed is bare, no matter how clean and tidy Liu Xia and Mao'er make the house, it feels like a temporary residence, without any feeling of home, although Liu Xia and Mao'er are full of this feeling;

Now it's just an extra bed sheet and mat, but the room seems to be complete all of a sudden.

The cat was lying in the middle of the bed, arranging itself into a character 'big', giggling silly: "It's so beautiful, it will be even more beautiful when Grandpa finishes weaving the curtains."

Liu Xia pulled him up: "It's too hot, boy, you have sweat on your back, you'll get prickly heat when you lie down like this, my uncle has to take a shower and go to work quickly, you and Uncle Six will wait for me at home, take care of that Check out a few letters, I’m back and we’ll discuss replying to your uncles.”

In fact, Liu Xia was anxious to read the letter like a cat scratching, but it was already past nine o'clock, although Yue Desheng had told him when he left on Saturday that there was no urgent work in the department, and it was okay if he came back late relationship, but he still felt that it was inappropriate for him to be late just after work.

The cat nodded, picked up a watermelon and went into the kitchen: "You wash it first, uncle, I'll soak a watermelon and eat it when you come back."

Liu Xia simply rushed, changed his clothes, and ran away with Liu Ling's letter. Liu Hai and Mao'er sat on the ground against the wall, and Mao'er showed Liu Hai the two remittance slips. After a while, the two of them opened and read the letters one by one.

Mao'er was curious about the person who sent the money to Liu Xia, so they first read the letter from Gu Zhao who sent the money separately. The message on the other remittance slip stated that the money from the three families was sent together.

Gu Zhao wrote in the letter:

After my final exam results came out, my mother said to my dad: "When Liu Xia agreed to let us Xiaozhao follow the make-up class, I made a decision in my heart. If the score can exceed 85, I will give him a bonus of 300 yuan, and if it exceeds [-], I will give him all the profits of our clothing store in the last month.

During the winter vacation, Xiaozhao’s average score in three subjects was 87. I think [-] is a bit small, but because we are sophomores, not seniors, I was afraid that I would give too much and you would talk to me, so I didn’t give more. Hundred.

Although Liu Xia didn't tutor them for three months in the middle of the internship, he wrote to Xiaozhao and the others to encourage them when the internship was so difficult. This time, Xiaozhao scored an average of 94 points, and his English scores were several points higher than before. I decided to calculate the profit of our clothing store in July. By that time, Jianyong and his college entrance examination scores will definitely come down. Join them in sending the money to Liu Xia. "

Liu Xia, you don't know what my dad looked like at that time. He and my uncle are real brothers. Although my mother has the final say on my family, he didn't dare to find excuses like my uncle did, but he was obviously very distressed. Finally He told my mother, I am not admitted to university, so it is inappropriate to give so much, if brother Jianyong and the others are admitted to university, they will not be able to give you so much, isn't that making it difficult for others to behave?Just give half of it.

My mother told my father that if he dared to be as generous as my uncle when making a wish, and when it came time to fulfill it, he would make excuses with no conscience, and she would divorce my father immediately, and my father would not dare Speak again.

Normally, summer clothes are cheap and don’t make much money, but my mother went to Guangzhou a few days ago to buy a batch of skirts and T-shirts, which are very fashionable, so the profits in July this year are good, and now they are all yours.

My mother deliberately pissed my dad off, and let him watch, there are whole and zero, 927 yuan, even I think this money is big enough...

About Gu Pingshan, Liu Xia did not mention a single word in his letters to his family, including Liu Chuan, because Liu Chuan often went home, he was afraid that Liu Chuan would tell his family.

But he told Liu Ling that Liu Ling and Liu Hai had mentioned this matter when they met, so Liu Hai understood the ins and outs of what Gu Zhao said in his letter, and he cursed: "Fuck, the whole family is so instigating , that is to say, he is counted as a man when he grows such a handle, and he is not as big-hearted as a woman."

The cat said: "I said, why do you still have a few yuan? In the past, our family collected money in ten yuan and ten yuan."

Another remittance slip was also full and zero, 2188 yuan.

This was sent by Peng Fei, Huo Jianyong and Li Ming together. The letters from the three young men were also put in an envelope, and there were two five-inch photos inside the letter. One was Peng Fei, Huo Jianyong and Li Ming with their shoulders cross It was taken in front of the Crane Tower with their backs on their backs, and Gu Zhao was added to the other one. The four and a half children became good friends in the common tuition. The three older ones were all admitted to university this year, and together they cheered for the youngest Gu Zhao .

Liu Hai and Mao'er had just put down the photos to read the letter, when Liu Xia came back with a bag of tomatoes, cucumbers and a handful of beans, and said happily as soon as he entered the room: "It's too hot today, and we don't have any urgent work. Free activities, there are a few vegetable farmers selling vegetables at our gate, I just bought some, it’s so hot, I don’t have to go to Gudu Road.”

Mao'er jumped up, took the dishes and put them in the kitchen, and poured a large glass of water for Liu Xia, and the three of them sat and read the letter together.

Of the 2188 yuan, 1188 was rewarded by Huo Jianyong's family. He was admitted to a polytechnic institute in another city in Central South Province. For the Huo family of the college, it was also a great joy.

Huo Jianyong said: My dad said that 8 is a hair, and he sends you 1188 is a permanent hair, which means that you will make a fortune for the rest of your life.

Liu Xia, I heard that the salary of a college student after graduation is only a few tens of dollars. This blessing from my father is very meaningful to you, right?

Liu Hai sighed: "Being self-employed is better than being a university professor, and buying and selling tea eggs is better than making money by making atomic bombs! If I don't get well assigned after graduation, I will set up a stall in front of our school to sell tea eggs."

Liu Xia said: "Sixth brother, you are really ambitious. You really deserve to be a high-achieving student in a famous university in the capital. After you sell to a household of ten thousand yuan, you will publish a newspaper: the most proud disciple of a famous painter, who sold tea eggs to achieve an artistic life. Uncle will be proud of you."

But the cat grunted excitedly and was about to get up: "Uncle Liu, can you make tea eggs? I... my uncle bought eggs for us, and the third uncle gave us some tea leaves. You can cook some for my uncle." Bar?"

Liu Hai moved away from Mao'er: "Student Liu An, we definitely had a grudge in our previous life. I either have hatred for killing your father or taking your wife away from you. I'd better stay away from you!"

The cat sat down again in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, you are my brother's brother, and so is my third uncle. He cooks for my uncle. What's wrong with you cooking a tea egg for my uncle?"

The school that Peng Fei was admitted to was the best, which was the Jiangcheng Teachers College next door to Liu Xia and the others. The Peng family gave him a bonus of [-].

Liu Xia was very surprised when he heard that Peng Fei had applied to a teacher's college after returning from his internship. He felt that with Peng Fei's unrestrained character, he definitely didn't want to be a teacher.

Peng Fei said to Liu Xia: "I never thought about being a teacher, I didn't see you for more than a month before I came up with this idea.

After you went to practice, my grandfather found a teacher for me again. He is similar to the teacher who tutored me before. When you didn’t teach us before, I thought it was quite normal, but now I follow them, I feel so uncomfortable. When he was talking, if I wanted to interrupt and ask if I didn't understand something, he would frown and look at me, as if I had done something outrageous.

The few of us miss you very much, you allow us to interrupt you at will, during the break, I will tell you about the novels I read before, and you will discuss with us, and you think what we said is also very interesting.

But they, just because others were still doing questions or asking them questions during the 10-minute break, I ran outside and jumped a few times and stretched a few times. .

I just thought of several of my classmates. In fact, they wanted to study hard just like me, but they just couldn’t help but want to play, and couldn’t help but want to see those who don’t need to go to school, can run around the world with a horse and a sword, A novel about chivalry everywhere.

In the eyes of the teacher, they are all hopelessly trash students, but in your eyes, I am a student with special potential, intelligence, inference, active thinking, kind heart, and sense of justice.

I want to be a teacher like you, be so happy every day like you, and get along with my students happily every day. "

Kua Liuxia, who has been taught, is of course happy. He still doesn’t know at this time, teaching one or two students part-time as a hobby, and teaching many classes and hundreds of students as a professional teacher for many years, he still has to bear a heavy psychological burden The pressure to go to school is different. Although, if the concept is changed, the teachers can do better than now, but there is definitely no way to compare with his situation at that time.

Li Ming was admitted to a comprehensive university in Jiangcheng City, and the bonus was [-].

Liu Xia hadn't expected these bonuses in advance. At a very critical moment, he hadn't taught his children for three months, and he was admitted to university. He really felt that he shouldn't get so many bonuses.

Both Gu Zhao and Huo Jianyong’s family are in business, but one of them is a sophomore in high school, so good grades don’t mean much, and it’s still more than a year before they take the college entrance examination, so there are big variables; The large sum of money made Liu Xia feel ashamed of receiving it.

The 800 yuan of Peng Fei's family is also a lot. Although the Peng family has wages, they still can't compare with those who are in business. [-] yuan is a lot of money for a working family.

Li Ming's family is the one with the worst conditions in the family. Li's mother used to be an employee of a state-owned construction company. It used to be a good unit. Now wages are often in arrears, and they are only paid every few months. There are no benefits at all. , the family's economic pillar is Li's father's salary, and the 200 yuan is probably Li's father's income for more than a month.

After reading the letter, Liu Xia said: "I expected they would give me some, but I didn't expect it to be so much, especially Aunt Zhou, and Gu Zhao didn't go to college. I don't think they should charge so much money."

Liu Hai said: "What is university? You have opened up the direction of life for him. The correct and efficient learning method and three positive and very convincing role models are definitely an invisible and infinite wealth! "

Liu Xia said: "Brother, you really deserve to be an art student. This accent is just like Yun Jian's in the past. If I go to Kyoto, I will definitely introduce you two."

Mao'er couldn't put it down for the two remittance slips, but had no interest in the letters from a few strangers. He only expressed his happiness that Peng Fei was admitted to the teacher's college. It was because Liu Xia told them when he wrote the letter home that Peng's family Grandpa and grandma are very kind to him, and grandma Peng often saves meals, and the cooking is very rich and delicious.

With sparkling eyes, he asked Liu Xia, "When shall we withdraw the money?"

Liu Xia tugged at his ear and said, "Little money fan, it's so hot outside now, no matter how much we like money, we have to wait until the afternoon is not so hot, besides, we have to write back letters to your uncles!"

The cat got up, put the two remittance slips in the cabinet and pressed them down, and then came back to read the other letters.

Liu Xia originally thought that Sha Yonghe would be the last one to receive his letter, but he was surprised that he was the first to reply, so he opened Sha Yonghe's letter first.

Sha Yonghe first congratulated Liu Xia for not being assigned to work as a land surveyor in his hometown, and then reported to him that he was also assigned to a provincial unit, and the assignment process went smoothly. People give gifts and resign themselves to fate, but I didn't expect the distribution to be very good.

However, he hadn't started to work yet. After reporting for duty, his work unit allowed him to enter August before officially reporting for work.

Liu Xia was happy for Sha Yonghe, and at the same time expressed his incomprehension about the small pieces of yellow and crumpled places on the letter paper. Sha Yonghe is not a coward, why are the two pieces of letter paper dirty?

The second one I read was Hei Deqing's letter. Hei Deqing got his wish and joined the Public Security Bureau of Shanxi Province. He also started working in August. He was very envious of Liu Xia being able to get a house with a bathroom and a kitchen. He said : My unit also gave me preferential treatment, and gave me a separate dormitory, but it was only about seven or eight square meters, and the bathroom and kitchen were shared.

However, I definitely don’t need the kitchen. I heard that the staff canteen of the National Security Bureau is very good, and it’s not much worse than ordinary restaurants outside. This is enough to make up for my envy of your kitchen.

Qi'er, we've only been separated for less than a month, but I feel like it's been a long time, and I feel like we've never seen each other again. It is indeed my true feeling.

I think every day now, if I can go to university for the rest of my life and never graduate...

Hei Deqing's letter made Liu Xia sad for a while, and Mao'er tilted his head to look at him: "Uncle, are you and Uncle Hei best friends? He even bought me a little Optimus Prime, it must be your best friend." friend."

Liu Xia said: "We are all good in the dormitory, but I am the closest in age to him. He loves to tease me very much. I also like him very much. He is a bit like your third uncle."

Mao'er nodded: "I see, uncle, don't think about him now, I can earn a lot of money when I grow up, let's take the train to see him."

Liu Hai said, "Yao'er, it's very convenient to travel from Kyoto to Shanxi."

Liu Xia nodded: "Well, I just think about the brothers who used to live together every day, and suddenly they are so far away, and they haven't seen each other for several years, and I feel uncomfortable."

The third letter was from Zhang Fusheng.

Contrary to what Liu Xia thought, Zhang Fusheng was not assigned to the city where Qiao Yanfang was located, but to the provincial capital of Donghai Province.

Zhang Fusheng said: Knowing that I was assigned to the provincial capital, Yanfang was very happy even though it was only a city-level unit. don't like the place.

I got the assignment notice a few days earlier than you. Before I went to report for duty, I went to Yanfang's house and formally proposed marriage to her parents, and they had already agreed.

Yanfang said, she doesn't want anything, as long as she has a house, even if it only fits a bed, we will definitely get married a year ago, Qi'er, it would be great if you could give me your house, I want to give it to Yanfang too A spacious and comfortable big house.

But it doesn't matter, if I can't get a dormitory for myself, I will rent a house. Anyway, I must get married before the Spring Festival. At that time, you must come to give big brother a personal show.

Liu Xia looked around his room, then looked at Mao'er, who was wearing only a pair of trousers, leaning comfortably beside him to read the letter, feeling very satisfied.

In the end, Liu Xia opened Liu Ling's letter. Unexpectedly, there were two letters in one envelope, and Chen Zhenbei's letter was one more than Liu Ling's.

They looked at Liu Ling's first.

In the letter, Liu Ling was very satisfied with the performance of the unit assigned by Liu Xia, but both Liu Xia and Liu Hai knew that Liu Ling wanted Liu Xia to stay in a big city, even if he couldn't go to the capital, even if he stayed in the original city.

But Liu Ling's comfort is true: Liu Xia is the youngest child in the family. Although he has been beaten since he was too naughty, he is really carefree. Apart from studying and playing, he lives Nothing will happen to you.

Before going to high school, Liu Xia was only responsible for washing his hair, and his sister-in-law or a few brothers helped him do the rest; before Liu Hai went to Kyoto, he didn't even wash a sock, let alone wash clothes Yes, he didn't even think about it.

Liu Xia had a part-time job during college, which made the whole family feel bad. Liu Ling saw many other college students living a relaxed and happy life in Kyoto, and he felt even more guilty. Like Liu Kui and Liu Chuan, he didn't feel much hardship. See The younger brothers are living worse than others, so they feel that they have not done a good job as elder brothers and cannot protect them.

When Liu Xia returned to Rongze, he could often go home, especially because Liu Chuan was by his side, which made Liu Ling feel more at ease.

Opening Chen Zhenbei's letter, Liu Xia glanced at it, folded it up again immediately, and said to Liu Hai and Mao'er: "Brother Chen said a few words to me alone, you two are not allowed to read."

Liu Hai whistled and stood up: "It's time to take a piss and rest, we should cook, cat, come here, let's see Uncle Liu show you a hand."

Mao'er didn't want to remember, he never thought that his uncle would have a secret about him, so he asked in confusion: "What did Uncle Chen write? Why aren't Uncle Six and I allowed to read it?"

Liu Xia unfolded the letter in front of him and clattered vigorously: "If it is between grown men, children under the age are forbidden to read it."

The cat turned back to look for Liu Hai, and Liu Hai said in the toilet: "It is the basic morality of a person not to pry into other people's privacy, and it is a real gentleman not to be curious about other people's privacy. Uncle!"

The cat asked, "What is a gentleman?"

Liu Hai came out shaking the water in his hands: "Come on, let me tell you while eating watermelon and cooking."

Mao'er made an aggrieved expression at Liu Xia, got up and followed Liu Hai into the kitchen, and within a minute, served Liu Xia some watermelons.

Liu Xia read Chen Zhenbei's letter while eating watermelon. Chen Zhenbei first congratulated Liu Xia's dormitory, and then said:

Yaoer, if you take the cat with you every time you go to work, there will definitely be some urbanites who claim to be superior to others in your work unit. tough.

If you are confident, the people you want to protect will be confident; if you are tough, those who bully the weak and fear the hard will automatically shut their mouths.

Your unit is technically educated, and your foundation is strong enough. So, as long as you work hard and show superior ability in business, it is not difficult to gain a firm foothold in the unit. Brother Chen believes that this is definitely not the case for you. Questions, so you have full confidence in yourself.

What I am worried about is that you get along with your colleagues. Your fifth brother once told me about you beating your teacher and smashing Niu Sanni's house. I think you handled these two things very well. When there is temporary peace, if you give it a go, you may usher in a brighter future.

But your current colleague is not Huang Zhiying who deserves a beating, let alone Niu Sanni who is ignorant, they are people who you can get rid of after passing that stage or through your own efforts.

But colleagues are different. You may have to work and live with these colleagues every day in your life. Therefore, the simple solution in the past is not suitable for your future environment.

What I mean by toughness is not cold confrontation, but treating people with a peaceful attitude. In the details of daily interactions, express your principles and bottom line euphemistically and clearly. Those are actually the rules that other people need to abide by when facing you. .

In war, only the victor has the right to make the rules, but in real life, only the strong have this right.

Specific to your current status in your unit, the first thing you need is to establish your position in the professional field of the unit, relying on technology to earn profits. If you are not good at technology, no matter how big your fist or face is, it is impossible to really convince people. , there can be no respect without persuasion.

However, it takes time to establish prestige in the professional field, so Yaoer, what you need now is to enter the working state with the most suitable posture, have a good start, and lay the foundation for the future. You must know that the first impression of a person is very important. important.

Bullying is almost a common problem in workplaces all over the world, and it can also be regarded as a rule. Without qualifications and experience, a newcomer can only be appreciated by leaders and colleagues for his diligence and hard work.

I feel ashamed to talk about hard work with you, or even with anyone in your family, because not to mention Brother Liukui and Brother Liu Chuan, my diligence and effort may not be one percent of theirs, but at this moment, Liu Chuan My elder brother stayed in a small county town, my elder brother Liu Kui ran for tens of miles of mountain roads in Liujialing for a dollar a day, while I was engaged in my favorite career in the most modern military camp in China.

It is your little Rui and the cat, who go out early and go back to school every day, are much more diligent than me who only get up a few days earlier every year during intensive training and exercises.

But I still have to have the cheek to tell you that when you first enter a new unit, diligence is very important. As long as you don’t violate the principle, it’s nothing to do more work and suffer a little more.

When I first joined the army, it was because I was young, I didn’t know anything, and I didn’t want to take any losses because of my strong background. Comrades, no one likes me, and no one wants to share a table with me for dinner.

After entering the military academy, no matter whether I was on duty or not, I would rush to clean the dormitory, and I would take the initiative to do many other trivial things. I am not pleasing others to make them like me, but I cherish comrades around.

Former comrades-in-arms, I want to do something for them now, and I will never have the chance.

Doing work that is one level lower than your own job will make people feel that you are down-to-earth. At the same time, don’t let your leaders, including people with higher professional positions than you, work for nothing. Don’t be afraid of being criticized by others. High level, more contact with people who are higher than one's own level can effectively improve one's vision. This level I mainly refer to professional quality rather than moral level.

Yao'er, you have to understand what I mean correctly. These survival rules are not all opportunistic and tricky to win the favor of others. There are many things that a newcomer should do.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the environment I lived in was relatively high-class and rich. My friends are also a group of high-ranking people in the eyes of others. Let me tell you Yaoer, they are actually exactly the same as ordinary people.

Those seemingly arrogant people leave the public's sight and return to their own homes. In fact, they live the same life as ordinary people. Arrogance is just a bluffing appearance. Maybe you will find it when you meet it. She blushes when she speaks, so she has no choice but to put on airs and pretend to be an awesome coward!

On the other hand, their hearts are actually the same as ordinary people.

What I mean by this is to tell you that most of the people around you who seem to be arrogant and look down on you are actually very good people, and their arrogance is just a habitual problem that has been cultivated by a relatively superior position for a long time , can be completely ignored.

Isn’t pretending to be awesome just for others to see?You don't take it seriously at all, he is so awesome!

……

From the few days of getting along with Chen Zhenbei in the capital, Liu Xia has already gotten acquainted with people who seem to be superior. Chen Zhenbei can pretend to be awesome in front of people, but when he is with them, that He is a big kid at all, a playful, gluttonous, mischievous and impulsive kid.

Looking at this letter again, Liu Xia became even more certain that there is really not much difference between people. As for the fact that some people in the unit might look down on cats.

Hmph, Liu Xia thought, after a long time, it's not sure who looks down on whom!

Chen Zhenbei did not apologize for Liu Xia's graduation assignment, which made Liu Xia feel very relaxed.

At the beginning of June, Chen Zhenbei went abroad with a military delegation for more than half a month. After returning to China, he was sent directly from the airport to the hospital, where his grandfather, who can be called a military exploit, was being rescued.

After Grandpa's funeral was over and Chen Zhenbei remembered, Liu Xia's files had already been handed over to the Central Plains Province.

Chen Zhenbei wanted to work harder, but was rejected by Liu Ling. When the file was in school, he could have a unit to apply for a dignitary. Once it was handed over to his original place, it would be very troublesome to move.

Helping Liu Ling with a little effort is acceptable, but he finds it difficult to repay this kind of thing that can only be done with the help of others.

Moreover, this year's allocation, the national allocation policy is the same as last year, and the lower part may be a little loose due to a long time, but there is no such thing in Kyoto, he can't let Chen Zhenbei's family take any risks for them.

Chen Zhenbei wrote a letter of apology to Liu Xia specifically for this matter, which made Liu Xia feel very sorry: When did you want to help but failed to help?

Liu Hai used three bowls of high-quality eggs and tomatoes to make noodles, and once again defended his title of being a competent and good brother.

Liu Xia leaned against the wall, stroking his swollen belly, and said, "Sixth brother, don't go home, just stay with me until school starts."

Liu Hai washed the dishes and said, "Live here to serve you and Mao'er, two lazy bastards?"

Liu Xia said: "I remember you used to dislike doing housework at home. How can you cook and cook such delicious food now?"

Liu Hai was sitting next to him covered in sweat: "When I first went to the capital, there were only three of us at home, Uncle Zeng and Brother Huaichen. Neither Uncle Zeng nor I knew how to cook, and Brother Huaichen cooked for us. , Later he went to work, and those big shopping malls in the capital got off work very late in the afternoon. It will."

Liu Xia felt that he was a bit hypocritical, but he still couldn't help feeling sad. The sixth brother used to be the one who hated doing housework the most in the family, but when he arrived at Uncle Zeng's house, even though Uncle Zeng and the others treated him very well, he still had someone to depend on him for. feeling?That's why I take the initiative to do the things I don't like the most, so as not to be disgusted.

Liu Hai seemed to have seen through his mind, and gave him a slap on the head: "Don't think about it, Uncle Zeng and Brother Huai Chen are good to me, and sister Dongyan is the same. I have to do it myself, that is, others don't dislike it. , Sitting and waiting for others to serve, I will also despise myself."

Liu Xia said to Mao'er: "Why do I hear your Sixth Uncle's words mean both of us?"

The cat was lying on the ground and humming comfortably. Hearing this, he put on an arrogant "big" character: "Hmph, I don't care, anyway, you have to cook for the uncle and us every day."

After work in the afternoon, when Liu Chuan came over with two dishes from the unit canteen, Liu Hai, who was sweating profusely squatting in the corridor teaching the cat how to make scrambled beans with tomatoes, seemed to see a savior: "Third brother, you are here, I was blackmailed." If you don't come, I'll die of heat here."

Liu Xia took the dish in Liu Chuan's hand, smelled it, and found that the eggplant was very fragrant. He looked at the cat who was still staring at the frying pan, took a deep breath, turned around and poured the two dishes into the room. plate.
