"Today is a happy day. You are coming of age, announcing your career assignments, and letting everyone officially know you again. So, be energetic today, push aside your unruly hair, and reveal your face. Let everyone take a look, this is the future Teacher Shen." As Pu Haizhen said this, she used a comb to comb away Chen Sui's forehead flow, moved it to both sides, pinched her chin and looked at it carefully, feeling that after eighteen years of cultivation, The pig has reached the age of serving cabbage.
Shen Sui allowed his mother to dress him up. He did not object to Park Haizhen moving his head according to her aesthetic preferences because he made a great protest to save his head from being shaved. He was very quietly dressed up as a very energetic young man - in the eyes of the aunt. But when he found that Park Hae Jin was thinking about applying blush on him, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. ..
Shen Sui rushed out of the door and met Shen Nian's eyes, who had been waiting outside for a while. He looked at Shen Nian with depression and laughed mercilessly: "Brother, you look like a frivolous cock."
"But you can really legitimately court your mate today. Are you going to bring your new sister-in-law home today? Wow, it's so romantic..."
Shen Sui responded with silence, letting her sister tease her in every possible way without saying a word. Later, when the whole family of four went to the square together, they met an acquaintance. He just nodded silently. When he met an acquaintance of his parents, he waited for the two of them to finish enjoying the acquaintance's praise before he nudged them behind the back. At the signal, a silent "Hello, uncle/aunt" popped up.
Daheishan Protection Station has three grand events a year, New Year's Day, New Year's Day, and mid-year. New Year's Day and New Year are both a celebration of another year of peace and joy. The difference lies in the solar and lunar calendars, and whether it is canned meat or frozen meat. Only in the middle of the year can it be called the real grand event. First, it is announced that another group of citizens have reached adulthood and can join the glorious post of tightening screws. Second, everyone can show off their Pokémon and have a pleasant pairing.
Just as Shen Sui doesn't like to read introductions when he's studying, he also hates hearing people talk nonsense. When others applauded Commissioner Park who finished his speech, Shen Sui still looked at his mother a few meters away with gloomy eyes... The hair on his head That column of banners. In black letters on a red background, "The 89th Black Mountain Protection Station Citizen Coming of Age Ceremony and Job Distribution Conference." He found with depression that the word "career" was hanging over his mother's head, completely and without missing a beat.
The word "career" on the banner has never moved from Park Haizhen's head, and Shen Sui's career assignment has never left Park Haizhen's hand. After learning that Shen Sui's graduation grade was second, her first reaction was to make a phone call to the principal at the speed of light. After confirming for the ninth time that the principal would support Shen Sui's stay in school as a teacher, she began to happily struggle with why. Her clever son came in second place and started visiting the parents of the girls in her little notebook.
"Damn it, you're not giving mom face." Commissioner Park cleared his throat on the stage and glanced down at Shen Sui, who was frozen on the folding stool like a stone. She realized that he hadn't applauded even once from beginning to end. I thought about it angrily. But it doesn’t matter, everyone is on the same bench, and no one will see that Commissioner Park and her son are not applauding.
About thirty or forty citizens of the Black Mountain Protection Center come of age throughout the year, and the entire protection center has a total of more than 3,400 people. To declare one percent of the citizens to be adults, this honorary matter naturally falls to the chairman of the management committee. superior. Whenever Chairman Zhang Dongsheng, who has rough hands, calls out a name, a young man stands out from the crowd and stands awkwardly on the stage, accepting the scrutiny of more than 3,000 young and old men, women and children in the audience.
Shen Sui was born in winter. In fact, he is only seventeen years and six months old today. Therefore, he is the youngest among this generation. He is the last one to appear on the stage with honor and the last one to have the pin on his chest. Glorious red flower.
After saying goodbye to the red flowers and enduring Chairman Zhang’s extremely strong handshake, I still had to take the microphone and introduce myself to the audience as an adult citizen. Generally speaking, this is an uninteresting process. After special mention, everyone will copy and paste the sentence "I am so-and-so, I love reading and sports, and I hope to contribute to the family of shelters." stick.
The microphone was first handed to Shen Sui. He drooped his eyelids, coughed, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Shen Sui. I love reading and sports, and I hope to contribute to the big family of the protection center." .”
But smiling
Chairman Zhang did not take away the microphone because Shen Sui was still holding on to it. He said, "Wait a minute, I haven't said my dream yet."
"Ah... ah? You say it, you say it." The chairman of the committee put his arm around Shen Sui's shoulders affectionately and said to the audience: "Young people must have dreams. Come on, Shen Sui, tell everyone about your dream. .”
On the stage, with his shoulders being hugged by the Chairman, Shen Sui ignored the crazy eyes of his mother in the audience, swallowed, took a deep breath, and said with slight trembling:
"My dream is to be a survey team member."
After the graduation exam, Shen Sui did not gallop around like others. He stayed in the West Bell Tower, reading books and writing articles. His literary talent was excellent, and he meditated for half a month, and the article he published made him reread it himself. Be intoxicated all the time. He considered every word, studied it carefully, and today, he recited it.
This article is not long, because Shen Sui knew that he might be interrupted, but Chairman Zhang quietly put his arms around his shoulders, as if listening to his own nephew, and listened to Shen Sui's detailed account of his dream life. He said that in the first ten years, he should bury his head at his desk and listen to the wind and rain outside the window, with ivy in his eyes and a bud in his heart.
"In the second decade, the young man wanted to fly. He crossed the other side of the mountains and ridges, looking forward to the end of the greenery on the way forward. In the third decade, he climbed to the top of the mountain with the flag of his father's generation. After the dusk rain, there was still the morning sun. The fourth decade Ten years later, I have traveled all over the world, and the path I have taken is legendary, but I still have hope..."
There is a poem at the end of the article. When Shen Sui said this, he clenched his fist, put it on his chest, pointed at his heart, and said loudly that he would step on the surface of the earth and bring the fresh breath of the earth into the silence. A century-old protective shelter, their homeland is the surface of the earth, the black soil that has been silent for a century. I don't mind being poor. Even if the world is dangerous, as long as we work together, we will overcome all difficulties and bathe in the light.
"Bah, bang, bang..." Applause rang out.
When Shen Sui said that he should go out of the earth and build black soil, the square fell silent for an instant, as if he was listening very carefully. When he finished speaking, he was still silent, and there was no sudden burst of cheers after a long silence. He just remained silent. , and the only one applauding was Chairman Zhang.
"That's pretty good." Chairman Zhang stretched out his hand and shook Shen Sui's hand again, so hard that it made Shen Sui's metacarpal bones hurt.
The chairman shook hands and said with a smile: "Young people, you must have dreams. It is good to dream of going to the surface of the earth. It will give you knowledge! You must have ideals! The ideals serve everyone! Take care of everyone, our little family, and take care of our Montenegro! This This is my ideal!"
Park Haizhen in the audience took the lead in cheering and applauded vigorously, and more than three thousand hands clapped together.
"Also applaud young people for their dreams!" The chairman raised his left hand. Seeing the extremely enthusiastic atmosphere, he turned around and stroked Shen Sui's back, with a sincere smile and sincere words.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant!" Shen Sui heard this.
"If you don't get angry, you will die!" Pu Haizhen cursed in a low voice.
Ever since Shen Sui sat back down, Park Haizhen has been scolding him in his ears. He expressionlessly let her talk, as if it was going in one ear and out the other. After training for a long time, Park Haizhen Tired, he concluded:
"You're older and your wings are getting stronger, right? I originally thought you'd go to work right away and don't have to worry about it anymore, but I didn't expect you're still so ignorant! Why don't you understand mom's hard work? You insist on me switching jobs to take care of you? ?"
Shen Sui bit his lip, his mouth was dry after talking a lot just now, and his heart felt cold after being talked a lot just now. Two days after the final exam, Park Haizhen came to him and proudly told him that he would be assigned to be a teacher. If it had not been officially announced today, otherwise Park Haizhen would have made it known to the public that her family would have two teachers and two management committee members in the future. Or even three.
It's not that Shen Sui felt cold because he thought his mother was lecturing him. After all, it was extremely immature and arrogant to declare in public that he wanted to fight against the shelter's closed underground decision-making. But can young people be called young people if they are not energetic? Especially when he first heard that he would have to continue a life of silence and being disciplined year after year in his future work life, this made him feel heartbroken.
After introducing myself and my dreams, and repeating the nonsense I say every year, it feels like only the year has been changed in the speech, and the date does not need to be changed. It is June 30th every year. Only then did I get excited
People's hearts may be another exciting part, career allocation.
Why is it exciting again? Because the management committee member lives next door, it is not difficult to find out whose children are assigned to which occupations, and besides, it is not a big secret. Just saying it publicly and having it confirmed makes me feel at ease, so it's worth getting excited about.
Shen Sui finally felt a little excited. He said what he said, in front of more than 3,000 people. Of course, he did not want to educate anyone, nor did he think that reciting an article with great emotion could change the reality of the closed underground. But he dreamed , but he hoped that the slight possibility would touch Chairman Zhang, and when his name was mentioned when assigning work, the existing reality would be changed.
"Yang Shujing, after the academic committee's decision and the management committee's approval, this citizen has good moral character and academic excellence, and is hereby employed as a math and science teacher in the kindergarten department of the citizen school."
The ponytailed girl with a quiet personality, wearing a blue bow and blushing, bowed slightly amidst the cheers and celebrations of the crowd, took the engagement letter with a red ribbon in both hands, pursed her lips delicately, and said implicitly He smiled, revealing his dimples.
"Shen Sui, after the academic committee's decision and the management committee's approval, this citizen has excellent moral character and academic excellence, and is hereby employed as a literature and history teacher in the kindergarten department of the citizen school."
Shen Sui was bewildered and pushed to stand up by Pu Haizhen laughing and scolding. She walked to the stage mechanically, took the letter of appointment mechanically, and stood beside Yang Shujing mechanically. The quiet girl next to her was still blushing as if she was embarrassed. , lowered her head, holding the thin letter of appointment in both hands, letting the thin red silk ribbon hang down, her lips wriggled, and her nose twitched cutely.
"Wait...wait a minute." She whispered, lost in the crowd.
Shen Sui didn't hear it, because the confusion in his heart finally turned into anger, so he roared violently.
"Wait, hey! Wait!"
