He Xiaotian drove away, but instead of returning to Beijing, he went to Hebei. When he came out, He Xiaotian asked for He Daqing's address in Baoding from He Yuzhu. He was getting married soon, so it was not a problem not to go and see his cheap brother. Besides, He Xiaotian also has something to ask He Daqing.
"Xiaotian, why don't we go to Big Brother's place without bringing anything?" This was a matter of etiquette, so Liu Xia naturally had to ask clearly.
"Let's just buy some things when we get to Baoding." He Xiaotian also had some objections to He Daqing abandoning He Yuzhu and He Yuyu, but He Daqing had taken good care of the original owner, so he still had to bring gifts.
When he arrived at He Daqing's residence, He Xiaotian did not knock on the door. Instead, he asked the neighbors where He Daqing worked. This is also a lesson learned from He Yuzhu. When He Yuzhu came to He Daqing with Yu Yu, he was turned away by He Daqing's white widow.
After finding out that He Daqing worked in the canteen of the machine repair shop, He Xiaotian bought some tobacco, wine, sugar and tea and drove to the machine repair shop with Liu Xia.
"Hello, company commander!"
He Xiaotian got out of the car and as soon as he walked to the door of the machine repair shop, a person from the security department gave him a military salute.
"Little monkey!" He Xiaotian didn't expect that he would still meet his old subordinates here. The little monkey's name was Hou Dayong. At that time, because of his small stature, everyone called him Little Monkey.
"Company Commander! How did you know I was here?" The little monkey thought He Xiaotian came to see him.
"Hey hey hey, little monkey, I didn't know you were here. I came here to find someone. But it's an unexpected surprise to see you! How are you? Are you okay now?" He Xiaotian patted the little monkey on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, okay, very good. I am now the deputy section chief of the security section in the machine repair shop!"
"Okay! You're doing well!" Liu Xia held the gift, so she was a little slower. She was also surprised when she saw the little monkey, "Little monkey?"
"Nurse Liu? You..."
"Call me sister-in-law! The girl and I will get married soon!" He Xiaotian corrected him immediately.
"Hello, sister-in-law!" The little monkey gave another military salute.
"Okay, okay!" Liu Xia returned a military salute.
"Company commander, who are you looking for?" After the greetings, the little monkey also remembered that He Xiaotian said that he was looking for someone.
"He Daqing, I heard that he works in your cafeteria."
"Oh, it's Master He! He does work in our cafeteria. I'll call him for you right now." Nowadays, it's not easy to enter every factory, even if He Xiaotian is Little Monkey's old company commander.
When He Daqing heard that someone was looking for him, he quickly asked who it was.
The little monkey said, "My old company commander, He Xiaotian."
"What? He Xiaotian?" He Daqing almost chopped off his fingers. "Where is he?"
Seeing He Daqing so excited, the little monkey immediately said, "Waiting at the factory gate."
The two hurriedly arrived at the factory gate. Seeing He Xiaotian, He Daqing couldn't recognize it. He took care of it carefully for a while, and slowly overlapped with the figure in his memory. "Xiao Tian!"
"Brother." He Xiaotian was also a little excited, and the two brothers hugged each other at the factory gate.
"Great! You're not dead! Great!" He Daqing said excitedly.
Liu Xia knew that the brothers had something to talk about, so she said to the little monkey, "Little monkey, the two brothers will meet again today and they must have something to say. I wonder if you can find a place for them?"
How could the little monkey not understand it when he heard it? "Sister-in-law, there is a room next to the guard room. It belongs to our security department. If you don't mind, let the company commander talk there." The little monkey invited the He brothers into the room. In fact, this is a part of the security department. Two duty dormitories.
Knowing that the two brothers had something to say, the little monkey withdrew.
"Brother, this is the sister-in-law I found for you, her name is Liu Xia. Liu Xia, this is my eldest brother, He Daqing." He Xiaotian introduced.
"Okay, okay! I didn't expect you to get married and start a business." He Daqing laughed.
"Hello, big brother." Liu Xia also called out sweetly.
The three of them were chatting here, actually talking about some of He Xiaotian's experiences after he got lost. When they talked about He Xiaotian changing his career and returning to work as the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, Liu Xia knew that it would be best not to participate in the following conversation, so she came out to chat with the little monkey.
"Little monkey, I really didn't expect to see you again. I didn't know you were here this time, so don't refuse this thing." He Xiaotian and Liu Xia discussed it just now and gave the gift to He Daqing to the little monkey first. , and then Liu Xia went to a restaurant to treat He Daqing and Little Monkey to a meal. Liu Xia bought some gifts while looking for a hotel.
"Sister-in-law! How can I ask for your gift?" The little monkey knew that this gift was probably for He Daqing.
"Are you being polite to me? Take it. It's not a good thing. By the way, you have a bicycle, right? Lend it to me." Liu Xia gave the gift to the little monkey.
"Yes, by the way, sister-in-law. Why do you want a bicycle?" the little monkey asked in confusion.
"Xiaotian asked me to find a restaurant and treat you and his elder brother to a meal."
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to bother. I've already sent someone to make a reservation. We'll go have dinner after the company commander finishes talking." Little Monkey had just sent someone to a state-owned hotel not far away.
"Hehehe, little monkey, today is the day when your old company commander and his eldest brother reunite. He should treat you. Don't refuse."
"How can this be possible? It's rare for the old company commander to come to my place. If I don't show my kindness as a landlord, I won't make people laugh to death? No way!"
Liu Xia couldn't refuse, after all, what the little monkey said was right. But He Xiaotian told her that he must pay for this meal. "Hehehe, I can't help you. But, this is an order from your old company commander. You can't refuse, right?"
"This..." the little monkey was stunned, "Sister-in-law, how about the company commander invites you at noon and I serve as a host in the evening?" After thinking for a long time, the little monkey settled for the next best thing.
"Hehehe, little monkey, Xiaotian and I have to go to work tomorrow. We have to rush back to Beijing today. Your old company commander's eldest brother is here, and we still have time to get together. If you don't invite us then, we won't comply. Here!" In fact, Liu Xia understood why He Xiaotian insisted on inviting this meal. He Daqing works here. Now that an old comrade is an official here, he naturally wants to let him take care of He Daqing. No matter how strong the comradeship is, it must be maintained. He Xiaotian's treat may not cost much, but for He Daqing, it may make him feel more comfortable in the future.
The little monkey is not stupid and naturally understands this. But in his heart, he felt that this was not necessary. Back in North Korea, it was not certain whether He Xiaotian would be able to come back. However, he still agreed. This was not because he was a little monkey philistine, but because he felt that Liu Xia was right. Why is the Qing Dynasty here? It is inevitable to get together.
