Chapter 4 Object
After having lunch with Lao Xu, the two returned to the bus station and prepared to take the urban and rural bus home at 2pm. There is no bus station in the township, so the two will get off the bus and part ways in Hongwei Town.
Before getting on the bus, Song Yunping noticed the Xinhua Bookstore diagonally opposite the bus station.
For Song Yunping, who has always wanted to go to college, it was no less than a child seeing delicious food. Song Yunping was attracted by the four big characters of "Xinhua Bookstore" and walked over.
Han Kun also followed, and what he saw were study books related to the college entrance examination, including chemistry, mathematics, English and other related college entrance examination preparation materials.
Song Yunping was quite torn for a time. She wanted to buy it but was worried that she would not pass the exam. She stood by the bookshelf and never made a move.
After the college entrance examination exercises in 1978, relevant units also streamlined the college entrance examination process. The difficulty of the college entrance examination in 1979 was obviously increased, and it also gave previous high school graduates more preparation time.
Song Yunping, who had graduated from high school for a long time, seemed a little overwhelmed when she took up the college entrance examination questions again. She knew that she would not be able to pass the exam, so she finally chose to give up.
Even though his younger brother Song Yunhui personally persuaded him, he let go of his obsession and stopped taking the exam.
I walked out of the bookstore without buying any books, turning back every step of the way. When I passed a middle-aged woman at the door of the bookstore, I stopped and took a second look at the bookstore.
The middle-aged woman thought Song Yunping wanted to buy her long-haired rabbit, so she stood up and introduced it, saying: "Girl, this rabbit can cut two kilograms of hair a year, and it can be sold for a lot of money!"
After putting aside her obsession with the college entrance examination, Song Yunping is thinking more about work. At present, Song Jishan and his wife have inquired about the medicinal materials station and the health center, but they have not found a job.
Song Yunping felt very uncomfortable when she couldn't even find a temporary job. Due to family issues, her family was repeatedly bullied, let alone treated equally!
Song Yunping originally just stopped by and heard that raising rabbits could make money. She was instantly attracted and started asking middle-aged women about related breeding conditions.
Han Kun on the side knew Song Yunping's next choice. He didn't want Song Yunping to engage in breeding work.
Because besides being busy, she was also afraid of delaying her exam, so she said: "Song Yunping, you have raised rabbits, do you still have time to study and take this year's exam?"
Song Yunping was actually very hesitant. Raising rabbits was an uncertain job. She just stayed at home to see if she had a job. She felt very stressed and said, "I don't want to take the college entrance examination this year. I want to find something to do!"
Looking for something to do is an adult’s instinct.
It’s boring and helpless when you have nothing to do!
Furthermore, Song Yunping's family has a registered permanent residence and does not have any land to farm. She basically just stays at home and does housework.
Han Kun knew that Song Yunping wanted to be strong, so he thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the town to help you later, and you shouldn't raise rabbits. I'll think of other ways when I really can't figure it out."
Work has always been on Song Yunping's mind. She was embarrassed to hear that Han Kun could help, but she wanted a job in her heart, so she said, "Then I listen to you. There is a big prejudice against our family in the town, so I'm afraid."
No!"
Han Kun looked at Song Yunping's eager mood and said, "Whether it works or not, you will know after you try it!"
"Don't be anxious. I'll definitely find you a job when you go back and ask."
Generally, Han Kun would not do anything that involves a large sum of money. If it weren't for Song Yunping's matter, Han Kun would help if he could, and give up if he couldn't.
Now it's Song Yunping's turn, so she has to use some effort to deal with it.
After saying goodbye to Lao Xu just now, Song Yunping was still willing to believe Han Kun. Moreover, with Han Kun's help, she felt a lot more relieved. Then she gave up the idea of raising rabbits and followed Han Kun back to the station.
Passenger buses returning to their hometowns depart at scheduled times, so many people returning to their hometowns will choose to get stuck and not come until the driving time.
Especially the buses at two o'clock and four o'clock in the afternoon are basically full, and there are still many people standing in the aisles.
If you miss these two times, you must either stay in the county for one night or find other ways to get home.
Xiaoleijia Village is close to the county seat. It takes half an hour by bicycle or three or four hours by taking a shortcut. As for Hongwei Town, where Song Yunping is located, it is conservatively estimated to take five hours.
If you really want to go home, you have to take a ride on a tractor, ox cart, or donkey cart going back to the township. Otherwise, you can only rely on two legs.
The driver helped Han Kun put the luggage on the roof rack and tied it up before the two of them walked in through the door.
Song Yunping was still carrying the backpack containing the job transfer files, while Han Kun was protecting Song Yunping with both hands empty.
There were a lot of people on the bus, occupying the entire aisle. Fortunately, there were gaps between each other, so it was not very crowded. Han Kun and Song Yunping squeezed through the gaps between people and squeezed to the back of the carriage before stopping.
The front of the car is an easy place to get off, but there will be a wave of people getting on before driving, and the front will be very crowded at that time.
The standing aisle position at the back will be much better and will not be too crowded.
However, after getting on the road, people will get off the car one after another, which will free up a lot of space.
Han Kun protected Song Yunping and stood in the back aisle, holding the backpack that Song Yunping was originally carrying.
Just as he stood firm, a male voice suddenly interrupted Han Kun's thoughts. Without even looking at Han Kun, the man said to Song Yunping: "Comrade, sit in my seat!"
Song Yunping glanced at the man, who was also wearing a military coat and looked a bit old-fashioned. She was sure she didn't know him before she refused the man's kindness and said, "No, I'll just stand there!"
The man was more upright, and he always gave in, but he was not easy to pull Song Yunping away. He insisted on his opinion and said: "Comrade, it's really okay, I can just stand!"
Han Kun recognized Lei Dongbao and couldn't stand it anymore. He was obviously trying to catch Song Yunping's attention. He gently pulled Song Yunping behind him and said, "Lei Dongbao, what are you doing!"
Only then did Lei Dongbao notice that Han Kun was traveling with Song Yunping, and he knew his name. He couldn't remember who it was for a moment. After being stunned for a moment, he looked at Han Kun, who was also wearing a military uniform, and said in a sultry voice:
"Who are you?"
Xiaolei's production brigade has thirteen production teams, and the production teams are divided into teams one to thirteen.
Lei Dongbao is from the third team, and Han Kun is from the second team, but they both belong to Xiaoleijia Brigade, which is also Xiaoleijia Village.
Although the production brigade is called Xiaoleijia brigade, there are nearly 200 households in the brigade, and not all of them are named Lei. There are people named Lei, some named Zhang, some named Han, and some named Shi.
We are in the same brigade, we are similar in age, and we went to elementary school together, so we most likely know Han Kun as a person. Even if we don’t know, we have heard about it from people in the brigade.
For example, so and so became a soldier, so and so became a soldier, etc.!
But in a hurry, it was difficult to tell who it was.
Han Kun didn't want to show off, so he said bluntly: "Han Kun from the second team!"
When it came to the name, Lei Dongbao knew it immediately. Looking at the collar of the military uniform without a collar badge, he said: "You have also retired!"
They were all from the same village, so there was no need for Han Kun to hide it. He said, "I just changed my job, and I'm going to report again in a few days!"
After chatting for a few words, Lei Dongbao seemed not to let go of what had just happened. He brought the topic back to the previous issue, looked at the beautiful Song Yunping, and said: "Your partner!"
