My sister Hong and I parted. When I rode a bicycle to the county trade union, the lights were already on in the classroom in the yard. I followed the voices and looked in through the window. The classroom was full of men, women, young and old. In the early 1980s, reading was still an elegant thing. Whether you were in an administrative and public institution or in factories and mining enterprises, people generally believed that getting a diploma was necessary for your future development.

According to the registration notice from Sister Hong, I found two or three classrooms and asked several people before I found the second class of high school cram school. I quietly walked in through the back door and found a seat against the corner of the wall to sit down. A few fluorescent lights were hung on the roof of the classroom, and a large blackboard was temporarily built against the wall on the podium, which seemed to be temporarily renovated in the office. On the lighting court of the Cultural Center next door, the passionate disco music was deafening. The "bang" noise came through the wall, and Modern Xiao Guo and the others were venting their energy again.

While I was thinking about it, a fat little red-faced man walked in, looked around, and sat next to me.

I moved my electrician bag to the side and gave him half of the table: "Hello."

"Hello, my surname is Qi, and I am from the county pharmaceutical company. Brother, which unit do you belong to?" The fat man with red face took out a box of cigarettes, smoked one and handed it to me in a friendly manner.

"My surname is Wu, and I am from our county stylus mill." I waved my hand and did not accept the cigarette he handed over.

"Are you from the department of the yarn mill? My cousin is in front of you, his surname is Xia." The fat man with red face held the cigarette roll on the corner of his mouth and hissed a match.

"You are talking about Squad Leader Xia, are you? I know you, and I have also been in the electrician team." I suddenly felt a little fond of Squad Leader Xia's cousin.

"You were also in the electrician team? Are you getting it out of the sponge mill now?" The red-faced fat fat squirted a mouthful of cigarettes from his mouth.

"Where can I go? I'm still in the yarn mill and go back to the security class." I answered casually.

"I'm still in the yarn mill? I'm back to the security class..." The red-faced fat man stared at me with a little disbelief.

"Yes..." I nodded affirmatively.

"The situation in the yarn mill is not very good, and the county is trying to find a way. My cousin is looking for someone to move out." The red-faced fat fat took another breath of cigarette and shook his head vigorously.

"Where do you work?" I didn't want to talk about the cotton mill anymore, so I asked the red-faced Xiaopang.

"Am I..." The little fat man showed a hint of pride, "I turned out to be in a textile factory and I was transferred to a pharmaceutical company before it went bankrupt."

"Are you in a pharmaceutical company? Where... do you know Section Chief Qin?" I remembered the husband Hu Xiumei who I met with "City North Erhu" and drank absurd wine.

"You mean our Manager Qin, right? He has long stopped being the section chief. I went to the pharmaceutical company and asked him to help me." The red-faced little fat man was excited, and his round face turned even redder.

"He is the manager..." I felt an indescribable disgust in my heart.

As we were talking, a female teacher walked in with a stack of books. I looked up and was stunned, thinking how could it be such a coincidence?

"Don't talk anymore. We'll start class soon. The students above asked me to come and help me post the textbook for this chemistry class." Teacher Yu, who I was familiar with, said kindly on the podium.

We attended four classes in the disco music outside the wall. The first two are Teacher Yu's chemistry, and the last two are Chinese by a male teacher. I pricked up my ears desperately and tried hard to listen to the teacher's hoarse explanation in front of the blackboard.

It was already eleven o'clock after class. I quickly packed up my things and didn't bother to say hello to the red-faced Xiaopang, so I hurried out of the classroom. Today's moonlight was very good, and the bright moonlight shone on the streets, covering the quiet small town with a quiet silver light. I rode my bicycle hard all the way, and when I was about to arrive at the cotton mill, I met the crowd of people off the middle class. Because the situation in the factory is not good now, the female workers no longer had the laughter of the past. Most of the men who came to pick up women from get off work were riding bicycles with their heads, as if they were competing with each other, galloping towards their respective directions along the dim street lights.

Under the street light at the factory gate, I saw Sister Hong who was waiting. I braked the brake beside her and stopped on one foot. A look of joy appeared in Sister Hong's clear eyes.

"How are you doing today's class?" Sister Hong got into the back seat of the car, hugged my waist, and pressed her delicate cheeks against my back.

"It's pretty good. There is a teacher who teaches the lesson. The teacher can understand what he didn't understand before. Hey... do you know? The daughter of Yu Erye I know is Teacher Yu from our county, who is also here to teach us chemistry." I said excitedly while riding a bicycle.

"Then you have to be so good. If you have any questions, ask the teacher." Sister Hong was also very happy and responded happily, "In the future, you should study hard and I will do the work at home."

"I can do the work at home, but I just study this way. If you want to learn well, you need a reward mechanism..." I felt warm in my heart and couldn't help but turn my face and flirt.

"What reward do you want?" Sister Hong saw through my thoughts and glared at me angrily.

"If I do well every time I take the exam, you have to let me do it well..." Before I finished speaking, a few pink fists fell on my back.

"It's okay to learn well. If you can't learn well, it's up to us, how can we punish you! Humph..." Sister Hong's pretended to be angry and felt tenderness like water.

The night is warm and the moon is holy. We snuggled up tightly. Amid the rustling of wheels, we heard each other's heartbeat.

Time flies, and three or four months have passed in a flash. I have studied very hard with the hopes of Sister Hong and his son, and my grades are also rising little by little. Because of the last time I helped Master Yu Er, Teacher Yu valued me very much and gave me some small training from time to time. My chemistry grades have improved the fastest. However, because of the poor foundation, my overall grades can only barely be of the upper class in the class, which is comparable to my red-faced little fat person.

In order to allow me to study with peace of mind, Sister Hong took care of almost all the housework while working hard at work. Sometimes when I was tired of studying, I picked up Xiaozhuang and teased him. As long as I had time, Sister Hong would snatch Xiaozhuang from my arms and said softly to Xiaozhuang: "Uncle Daping wants to study. He is like you, a sensible and good child."

In order to urge me, Sister Hong really took "reward and punishment" measures. Whenever I was lazy, she would put Xiaozhuang in the middle and prevent me from touching her. Whenever I got a high score in the unit test, she would give me a warm kiss in front of Xiaozhuang, and try her best to meet my needs while singing, so that I could feel the joy and pride of a man's success.

The Spring Festival is coming soon and the final exam is about to begin. That afternoon, I finished my work early and returned to the security class to read books with my books. An apprentice from the electrician class pushed the door and said that someone called me to the power distribution room in the workshop.

"Did you look for me? Where did you call me?" I raised my head in a little puzzled manner.

"I just looked for you. It seemed to be called from the city. It was a woman and her voice sounded very nice." The primary apprentice looked at me respectfully.

"I called from the city, but it's still a woman..." My heart skipped a beat and I couldn't help but jump up wildly, "You... didn't you ask her what her surname was?"

"I asked, she said her surname was Yuan." The primary apprentice replied with a smile.

"Secret Yuan?" I took a breath and waved my hand quickly, "You...you said I was not in the factory and didn't find me."

"Where...well." The primary apprentice looked puzzled and nodded gently.

Yuan Yuan, it was her call. What would happen to her when she asked me? Will she still come to ask for punishment? It's been so many days... I was guessing in dismay when I suddenly saw the elementary apprentice standing at the door and not leaving.

"You... are you still in trouble?" I asked in surprise.

"Master Wu, I...I want to take you as my teacher, learn boxing hard, and beat that bunch of Mao Xiaoli. He bullied me all day long." When the apprentice said this, her eyes and nose were crooked.

This bastard was a bunch of Mao Xiaoli, and he was transferred to the electrician team and still refused to change his viciousness. I stood up and said angrily: "You... just say it's my cousin, see if he dares to bully you."

The primary school apprentice widened his eyes in panic, not knowing how to answer for a moment. I didn't stop and hurried past him. I wanted to take a shower quickly and must not delay the evening class.
