Volume 1 Chapter 1 Farewell

  There were three major events in 2002. The first was that Shanghai won the right to host the world expo, the second was the institutional reform of public institutions, and the third was that Lu Jianhong had lost his love.

As early as 1999, when townships were merged, the reform of public institutions began. At that time, the competition for jobs was not cruel, and the reform system was not strict, let alone standardized. They just took exams in their own townships and units, combined with comprehensive assessments. , ranked well, and the last two are waiting for posts. During the waiting period, they will be paid living expenses ranging from 200 to 400 yuan per month. After one year, they will continue to participate in the competition for the next year. This kind of reform was carried out only twice, and in the third year, that is, in 2002, it was not continued, and the staff who had been waiting for the previous year were also on the job again. Until 2002, overstaffed institutions and insufficient funds had become a significant problem that needed to be solved. This phenomenon was particularly prominent in public institutions. Therefore, the Hongshan County Party Committee and County Government made up their minds to carry out institutional reform of public institutions to the end. This time the reform is real. There are a total of 6) staff members in the public institutions in the 19 townships in the county. After research, it was decided that only 30% of them, that is, less than 190 people, will be retained. This caused an uproar in the entire county. The policy of complaining was cruel, but the arm could not twist the thigh. Now that the county party committee had made a decision, the only way to do it was to actively study and take the exam. This time, a total of seven positions were provided, namely, agricultural economic station, agricultural technology station, village construction office, family planning station, labor insurance station, veterinary station and statistical posts. Lu Jianhong's establishment was at the Enterprise Management Station, which had merged with the Agricultural Economics Station as early as two years ago. He knew that the Agricultural Economics Station had a total of more than 130 people in the county, and only four remained. There are about ten people, and it is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe the competition as cruel and fierce. Lu Jianhong thought about it for a long time and decided to compete for the position of accountant. Although the competition was fierce, there were 114 places in six units in 19 towns in the county. Much smaller. Lu Jianhong had never worked as an accountant, but he passed the exam last year and obtained the accounting qualification certificate, so he still had a certain foundation in accounting. It was said that there are many accountants in many units who are old. Although they are very skilled in business, they are no match for young people in theoretical exams. Lu Jianhong still has confidence in himself. Facts have also proved that his choice is at least correct. What is a little surprising is that there are not many people participating in the competition of the Agricultural Economics Station. Many older people chose to retire early, which also reduces many competitors. That is to say, no matter whether he takes the accounting exam or the exam of the Agricultural Economics Station, it is not a problem to get a job. It's just that his test scores were in the middle, ranking in the top 20 in the county, but ranked eighth in Gaohe Town where he worked. According to the policy issued by the county party committee, in principle, the results of the examination within the establishment of the township will stay in the township. In the unified job selection meeting, according to the level of grades, those with higher grades have the priority to choose the township they want to go to. Lu Jianhong's grade was eighth in Gaohe Town, so he had to attend the job selection meeting of course, which meant that he would not be able to work in the familiar Gaohe Town. The conditions in Gaohe Township are good. All kinds of work, especially the financial income, ranks among the top three among the 19 townships in Hongshan County, so the treatment in all aspects is good. Compared with other townships, you can get an extra one year More than 10,000 yuan in benefits, but Lu Jianhong didn't remember Gaohe Town, who had been working for two years, at all. Instead, he couldn't wait to leave. A month ago, he just broke up with his girlfriend Lang Jing, and this place became his sad place.

  Gaohe Agricultural Economics Station has a total of eleven people, and only six establishments. In addition to Lu Jianhong, there are four other people who will also participate in the selection. That night, Lu Jianhong drank a lot of wine. He wanted to get himself drunk, but the wine was like water, and he couldn't get drunk no matter how much he drank it. After drinking eight bottles at the table, Lu Jianhong became a little drunk Drunk, half-drunk and half-awake, Lu Jianhong thought of his ex-girlfriend Lang Jing, but the endless toasts on the wine table were very tight, and he didn't have much time to think about it. After drinking three more bottles of white wine and two boxes of beer, the banquet ended. It was almost ten o'clock. When he walked out of the restaurant, Lu Jianhong looked back at the town government, which was close at hand. It was a familiar place, but when he suddenly looked back, the building suddenly became very strange, which reminded him of when he was in junior high school. In the second year of junior high school, he stayed a grade. When he walked out of the class, he was in the same mood as he is now.

The night in October was already a little cold, he refused his colleague to drive him home, and walked on the concrete road he had walked on countless times. After drinking a catty and a half, and the impact of the beer tea, Lu Jianhong felt that the base of his tongue was a little stiff, and when he opened his mouth, all the yellow and white things came out. The weeping willow leaning against the lake vomited for a while, until his stomach was empty, and then he stopped. Lu Jianhong wobbled and walked a few more steps. His whole body felt weak, so he simply sat on the grass. In the distance, there was a couple cuddling tightly together. Their love was so strong that they moved their hands and feet. This made Lu Jianhong very upset , Shouting "What are you doing?", scaring the pair of little mandarin ducks into fright, Lu Jianhong laughed happily a few times, and at the end of the laugh, the voice was clearly crying, like a wounded wolf Howl.

Lang Jing and Lu Jianhong were classmates in junior high school. Later, Lu Jianhong was admitted to a technical secondary school, while Lang Jing was in high school. Three years later, Lu Jianhong graduated and assigned to the Agricultural Economics Station, while Lang Jing was admitted to the Wuxi Institute of Education, who just graduated this year, teaches music at Gaohe Middle School opposite the town government. The two talked back and forth for five or six years. There is nothing wrong with distance creating beauty. In the past few years, they have not spent much time together. Every time they meet, they come and go in a hurry. Coupled with the resistance of Lang Jing's parents, they cherish this relationship very much. , But what I never expected was that Lang Jing had just graduated, and the two had conflicts, and they broke up when she first started working.

Lu Jianhong silently thought about the details of their reunion, sitting on the lawn for a long time, the night was already late, and the dew had already wet his shoulders, after a while Lu Jianhong stood up and waved towards the town government building Waving, and then waving to Gaohe Middle School as farewell, then hailed a taxi and went home.

  Lu Jianhong's father had passed away, his mother was illiterate, and his two older sisters were married long ago. No one asked him about his affairs. When he returned home, he climbed into bed without washing his feet and fell asleep.
