Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 783 Complex mood
Xia Yu was worried that after she left, Xia Li's affairs would be complicated again, so she discussed with Mu Zhen Xiali and planned to book a weekend flight to go abroad with her. Based on this date, there are still four days of preparation time.

When Mu Zhen learned about the day of going abroad, the first thing she did when she returned to the office was to ask Liu Zhongshan for leave. At the same time, she also proposed that she would no longer be the station master of the workstation after returning from this leave, reminding him that he could consider replacing it with someone else.Liu Zhongshan was a little puzzled by Mu Zhen's resignation. Whether it was in terms of work ability or income generation, there was no reason to leave. When Liu Zhongshan asked why Mu Zhen did not serve as the station manager, Mu Zhen explained: The pressure is too much, and I often suffer from insomnia due to work. If this continues, I feel that one day I will have to wear my body down!

Liu Zhongshan can understand Mu Zhen's reasons, because in the workstations across the country, there have been situations where the station masters had physical problems due to excessive pressure. This reason makes Liu Zhongshan trustworthy.

When Liu Zhongshan asked about Mu Zhen's plans, Mu Zhen replied: "I want to go abroad to see what the outside world is like, and come back to do some work that I am qualified for!"

Liu Zhongshan felt that there was nothing wrong with Mu Zhen's answer, and replied to Mu Zhen: "If you still want to be in the media after you come back, you can continue to contact me. My station manager here will always have your position. As long as you want, you can also be transferred to We came to work at the headquarters, during this period, our leaders are very satisfied with your work there, whether it is the quality of the manuscript or the income generated, the people in our editorial department admire you, and you are always welcome to come to us!"

Mu Zhen believed that Liu Zhongshan was telling the truth. When she went to the capital, the editor-in-chief had said something similar to herself at the dinner table, but it wasn't that she didn't want to do it, but that she was in her thirties and vowed to change herself. He didn't allow any external interests to tempt him at all, even if Xia Yu brothers and sisters brought him abroad, he was not interested in such a good thing.

Mu Zhen's thoughts cannot be told to Liu Zhongshan, and she replied euphemistically: "Thank you and the leaders of the editorial department for your support and care for my work. I will consider what you said when I come back, but now I do have some ideas. , I just don’t know if it’s feasible, we’ll meet again when we come back!”

"You really want to go abroad, when will you leave? I'll do it for you!" Liu Zhongshan said very sincerely.

"It's too late, I have to go home. You arrange the candidates, and I will handle the handover as soon as possible. After the handover, I will take the plane and leave. The plane will be in three days!" Mu Zhen didn't want to trouble Liu Zhongshan to come to the provincial capital to practice for herself. Uncle Tian Cheng is what he wants to see most now. This decision must be made clear to him, and he must clarify his work after returning to the village.

Liu Zhongshan heard that Mu Zhen's decision to go was decided, and he pushed the boat along the way: "I can't find a suitable candidate to replace you here at the moment, so recommend one to me, which will make it easier to start work. Let's not say whether you will come back this time or not." Regarding the matter of being the station master again, let him perform the duties for you first while you are away, so that it will be easier for me to adjust in the future, how about it?"

Mu Zhen blurted out: "Then let Tang Liang be the acting station master, this young man is practical!"

"Is that the college student you brought with you last time?" Liu Zhongshan asked.

"Yes, it's him. You also know that there are only three people in our station. When I leave, there are two more people. Xue Xiaofen is a woman, so it's okay to do business, and it's not enough to write manuscripts!"

"Okay, just as you said, let Tang Liang be the acting station master, just tell him, and let him take the initiative to contact me!" Liu Zhongshan still couldn't let go of Mu Zhen from his heart, paused for a while, and then continued: "After you come back, if you can't find a suitable position, I welcome you to join our team at any time!"

"Thank you for trusting me, and thank the editor-in-chief for taking care of me!"

Mu Zhen hung up the phone and sat there in a daze.

The matter of the workstation will come to fruition tomorrow, and Liu Zhongshan knows that his feelings for staying with him are not hypocritical, but now that Uncle Tiancheng wants him to return to the village to lead everyone to do some business, it is also sincere, Xia Yu brothers and sisters want to take him The sincerity of going abroad to develop is even more unacceptable, and the most urgent thing at this moment is how to explain his trip abroad to Uncle Tian Cheng.

Mu Zhen involuntarily opened the encrypted document on the computer again:

I am a child of a farm family. Although my father kept instilling the idea of ​​going to school and leaving the countryside since I was young, I am always a kite that cannot get rid of the string. No matter where I go, it seems that there is always an invisible string holding me. , the more you want to fight, the tighter the thread becomes, and in the end you can't break free from the tension of this thread.

As Mu Zhen writes here, thinking again of the dream she had more than once when she was young, Mu Zhen typed the following words on the computer as if she understood something:

Trees always have roots, and so do people.No matter where I go, I am bound by this invisible root. This invisible root is consciousness. Maybe it is the dream when I was a teenager, and I am destined to be inseparable from that root.

Trees rely on their roots for nutrition, and people also rely on nutrition to survive. I have lived in that small village since I was a child, and I have gained life from it. Peasant children who grew up with rice in the countryside cannot do without the nutrition that the root gives them.

A person is always born with his imprint. Wherever he is born, he is destined to leave many invisible imprints on him. These imprints accompany his whole life and cannot be erased no matter what. Struggle can change the status quo of life , It can make you rich from poverty, but it can't change the imprint left by the environment you were born in.

Mu Zhen has her own views on her life trajectory. After writing this, Mu Zhen feels that she is very ridiculous. The ridiculous thing is that she is looking for reasons in every possible way in order to realize the value of life. Is the current situation so complicated?Simply put, isn't it just going home to help villagers start businesses and get rich, and create a new world?Why do you think so much about it?

When Mu Zhen writes this, she really doesn't understand, is she really reluctant to leave the provincial capital?
Mu Zhen thought for a while, then wrote:

Life is a siege, just as Master Qian said: "People outside want to rush in, and people in the city want to escape." When I left the provincial capital this time, did I rush in or escape?Just like the negative side of things, both rushing in and escaping are the opposite of a problem, rushing in is the beginning of escaping, and escaping is the end of rushing in.

Gains and losses are mutual transformations, and the same is true for the siege of the city. Leaving the provincial capital this time is just a transformation. What is there to be nostalgic about?Everything is something in the dark, why worry about it anymore?If you decide on something, you should go on. The theory of water is applicable to you. That is to go back to your hometown to build a large reservoir to attract more fish. Isn’t it a great thing for yourself to gain fame and fortune?
