young friends come to meet

There are more than a dozen people around a table, and everyone is crowded, waving chopsticks at a copper pot.All the people who have some friendship with Yin Congnan are here. This is the first time Yin Congnan has dinner with so many colleagues since he came to the factory, but it will also be the last time.

He was dragged by Zhang Gong to ask questions.After going to the research institute, what kind of work will be done, what title will be assigned, what kind of salary will be given, whether there will be benefits during the holidays, and a few catties of mung beans for heatstroke prevention and cooling.Ren Haoguang and Zhao Yongbao next to him also followed Zhang Gong to help, and asked many trivial things in the research institute.Yin Congnan answered everything he knew, and promised to go back and ask what he didn't know, and tell everyone when he had the opportunity.

He knew that everyone was drinking a little too much, and even the girls were blushing.Hot-boiled mutton is really a good thing. When everyone sits around the stove, they become the hottest people.Even Hao Chen, who was usually silent, talked a little too much.

When everyone finally put Yin Congnan down as the main character, he ate a few mouthfuls of food and drank another sip of wine. He wanted to tell Ye Kai that this wine was not as good as the old man's wine during the Chinese New Year, but he looked up for a long time but couldn't find anyone.

Ye Kai was sitting with Gao Gong and Ren Haoguang, and the seat between them was empty at this time, showing a trick.Gao Gong noticed Yin Congnan's gaze, winked at him, pointed to the outside, and then said, "Just go out."

Yin Congnan nodded to Gao Gong, and walked out by himself while everyone was chatting lively in twos and threes.When passing by Gao Gong, Gao Gong waved to him, and Yin Congnan listened to him, and Gao Gong's voice came indistinctly from the chaotic background, "I'm not happy. I probably don't want to miss you."

Yin Congnan said, "I know."

The steamed mutton restaurant was filled with water vapor. When several stoves were fired, the room was like a steamer. Yin Congnan drank a few more sips of white wine, his body was hot, and when he walked out of the restaurant, he immediately cooled down and his mind was clear.He looked around and couldn't see Ye Kai's shadow, so he wandered around.

There is a small and narrow river behind the restaurant. Yin Congnan wanted to go to the river to catch his breath, but he vaguely heard someone shouting, and it was Ye Kai's voice.Yin Congnan didn't disturb him, and walked around the restaurant to look at the dark figure from a distance.

"The first emperor didn't start his business halfway, but the middle road collapsed. Today, three points down, Yizhou... Yizhou... is exhausted!"

Ye Kai hooted and stuttered, reciting the teacher's example.On the other side of the river is a row of one-story houses, which is also the housing area of ​​the Light Machinery Factory. Ye Kai's voice was transmitted across the river.

Yin Congnan couldn't help laughing, and walked over quickly, "You are disturbing the people at night!"

Ye Kai was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and saw Yin Congnan, embarrassingly wishing he could jump into the river.After watching him for a long time, he said vaguely, "Why are you here?"

"I want to say a few words to you. When I saw you disappeared, I came out to look for you. Who knew you ran here and shouted." Yin Congnan walked up to Ye Kai with a smile. It could be seen that Ye Kai's face was very red.I don't know if it's because he also drank alcohol, or because he was bumped into such a shameful thing, I'm sorry.

"I...I hurry up and memorize the text."

"When will the pre-test results come out?"

"Go to the test center next Monday to see the results."

Yin Congnan nodded, did not speak, and looked at Xiaohe side by side with Ye Kai.The night was quiet, only the faint laughter from the restaurant and the inaudible gurgling sound of running water could be heard.

The two stood like this for a while, and Ye Kai calmed down. He said, "If you pass the preliminary exam, you will have to fill out the volunteer application soon. I think it's better for me to apply to the university in the city."

Yin Congnan turned his head abruptly and asked, "Why?"

"Because... I want to be closer to home."

Ye Kai hesitated, but Yin Congnan could hear the meaning behind his tone.A while ago, he had been hesitant to say what he wanted to say, but it seemed that he had to tell him today.

"Ye Kai, tell me one thing. But it hasn't been settled yet, so I didn't mention it before."

Ye Kai thought he would persuade himself to resolutely take the provincial university of technology no matter what, but he changed the subject. "whats the matter?"

"On the day of your preliminary exam, the institute called me back and told me that the Provincial Research Institute wanted to transfer me there."

"Transferred to the province?" Ye Kai was surprised, "Why?"

Yin Congnan said, "Mainly because we import equipment and sign foreign orders."

Ye Kai thought about it and said, "That's a good thing. The units in the province must be higher than the units in the city. You should be able to do more things."

This matter was notified to him by Xin Zhihong and Liao Mingyan.Liao Mingyan made it clear that the province is robbing them of talent.

"The leader of the research institute directly told me that a talent like you should go to work in the province. Is there any reason for this?" Liao Mingyan was very unconvinced.

Xin Zhihong said, "Xiao Nan, we want to hear your opinion."

Yin Congnan wanted to refuse at the time. It was his idea to work under Xin Zhihong and repay him for his training and care after returning to China. He would just work in the research institute for a lifetime and become a screw for the industrial development of the motherland.However, as Ye Kai said, if he goes to a higher-level unit, he can do more things and his abilities can be fully utilized.

Xin Zhihong saw his embarrassment, and still said in his brotherly and fatherly tone, "This is related to your own future, you have to think carefully about it."

Liao Mingyan also hurriedly said, "Yes, Xiao Yin, don't worry about what I said just now, this is your own business, you decide for yourself. Don't worry, think slowly, and report to the provincial government after you think clearly."

Therefore, Yin Congnan put this aside in advance, he really needs to seriously consider it.But now, he seemed to have another reason to go to the province.

"After thinking about it, I really should go to a higher-level unit, so you should do the same."

The small river is flowing, reflecting the moonlight, and the moonlight is shining, reflecting in the eyes of the two people by the river.

Ye Kai understood what Yin Congnan meant, and wanted to say something, but his mind seemed to stop turning, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Yin Congnan said for him, "If you are admitted to the Provincial University of Technology, we can still be in the same city. How wonderful." He laughed as he said, as if looking forward to that day. "But..." Just when Ye Kai was about to cheer up, he changed the topic again.

"But what?" Ye Kai asked quickly.

"I haven't told the institute yet. Thinking about it, what you said is right. If you decide to take the university entrance examination in the city, I think I will continue to work in the institute, after all, it is close to home."

"What nonsense are you talking about. What a great opportunity to go to the province, you can't give up. Besides, I'm also going to be admitted to the Provincial University of Technology. Didn't you see that I ran out to memorize the text when I came out to dinner?"

Ye Kai's anxious look finally made Yin Congnan unable to bear it any longer. He stretched out his fist and hit Ye Kai on the shoulder, saying, "Then let's make an agreement, don't give up casually."

Ye Kai had fallen for the trick, but at this moment he had no choice but to pretend to be confused, and punched Yin Congnan on the shoulder.

The results of the preliminary exam were announced on Monday, and Ye Kai passed.The aunt said early in the morning that he would definitely be able to pass, so she specially bought a big carp and cooked it for him.Ye Kai finished eating the carp that was about to jump over the dragon gate, and ran all the way to the research institute with the wind, taking advantage of the lunch break to tell Yin Congnan the good news.

"I will fill out the application in two days. I will go to your house to fill it out, and you will check it carefully for me several times."

"it is good!"

"Then I'll go first, and I have to go to work in the afternoon. Come to my house in the evening, and my aunt made braised fish." Ye Kai waved his hands happily, and ran away bouncing around.

On the day of filling in the application form, Ye Kai was as earnest as he would be for a third-level worker, confirming word by word, counting and checking each word, and the two of them checked it several times—the first choice, Mechanical Engineering of the Provincial University of Technology Professional design and manufacture.

After finally confirming that it was correct, Ye Kai carefully put away the volunteer form and let out a long breath.He suddenly remembered an important thing, "When will you be transferred to the research institute?"

Yin Congnan said, "I just transferred back to the institute, and I can't leave so soon. I have to work for at least a quarter before being transferred. I told the institute that way. I don't know if the research institute can agree."

Ye Kai smiled, "It seems that your research institute is going to compete for talents with the research institute. It would be great if you can still work in the institute for a quarter. Now it's June, if I can really get admitted to the Provincial University of Technology, When school started, you happened to be transferred to the province. In case there is anything I don’t understand in class, I can ask you.” He leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself, “I don’t know The University of Technology and the research institute are not far away. By the way, if you go to the research institute, where will you live?"

Yin Congnan didn't think about this question, but he guessed, "It should be living in a dormitory."

Ye Kai looked up and looked around the room, "Then this house will be unoccupied again." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly turned to look at Yin Congnan's reaction.It would be bad if it reminded him of sad things because of his carelessness.

Yin Congnan just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's empty now. The situation is already different from before."

Ye Kai had no choice but to interrupt, "That's for sure." He looked up at his watch, it's time for today, he should go back.While tidying up the stationery on the table, I was hesitating about another matter.He wanted to bring it up, but felt that he was being unreasonable. Yin Congnan had already helped him so much, so it really shouldn't be bothering him about such a trivial matter.But he thought again, if he said that Yin Congnan would definitely agree to him, but he thought about it like this, really unmanly.He put down the pen in his hand, turned his head and said, "Can you send me off on the day of the exam?"

"A few days before your college entrance examination, I will see you off."

The two spoke in unison, and they were stunned for a while after speaking, and then laughed together.

"Can you go?"

"Yes, I can just talk to Uncle Xin. He also keeps asking me about your college entrance examination."

"That's great." Ye Kai stood up from the chair, "If I could see you before entering the examination room, I would feel more at ease."

"Well, I will definitely go."
