On the eve of the Spring Festival.
Beijing.
This weekend morning.
The family building of a certain unit.
living room.
A little girl of three or four years old was playing.
Sitting on the sofa next to her was a man in his thirties. He is Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Bingyi was reading documents when he suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Dongmei, do you think we should go to Bingkun's place during the Chinese New Year?"
Almost three years later, Zhou Bingyi had graduated from Peking University and stayed in the capital to work. He worked as a deputy in a certain unit and was assigned a house.
"Bingyi, do you want to go?" Hao Dongmei asked. She was reading books on medicine. After graduating from college, she went on to graduate school. It was precisely because she continued to study in the capital that Zhou Bingyi chose to stay and work in the capital.
"Bingkun took his parents to Xiangjiang early, saying he was going to celebrate the New Year there.
Guangming and Zhou Rong's school vacation was early and they had already gone to Xiangjiang. Feng Huacheng will leave a few days later.
Dongmei, do you think we should go to Xiangjiang or return to Jichun? "Zhou Bingyi was a little embarrassed. He actually wanted to go to Xiangjiang to celebrate the New Year with his parents, but he had to consider Hao Dongmei. After all, Hao Dongmei is an only child, and her parents are in Jichun.
Hao Dongmei also understood what Zhou Bingyi was thinking. She thought for a while and said, "Bingyi, how about you take a few days off and let's go back to Jichun before the year before going to Xiangjiang?"
"I'm asking for leave... It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of things at work. I'll see if I can make some arrangements." Zhou Bingyi began to think about the matter at hand.
At this time.
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is this?" Hao Dongmei was a little confused.
"It's probably Lao Yao who's here. He called before and said he was coming to see me." Zhou Bingyi opened the door as he spoke.
"Bingyi!" Yao Lisong stood at the door, smiling. He was wearing a green military coat and carrying two cardboard boxes. The cardboard box is tied with a cross knot with green tape.
"Old Yao! Come in, come in, when did you come?" Zhou Bingyi was very enthusiastic. He was happy to see old friends from the Corps.
"I just arrived. I put down my salute and came over." Yao Lisong had already changed his job and went to work in Pengcheng. His position is one level higher than Zhou Bingyi. In 1980, at the beginning of the year, he approached Zhou Bingyi and asked Zhou Bingyi to introduce them to the leadership.
"Brother Yao is here? Please take a seat." Hao Dongmei also stood up to say hello.
"Okay, okay, this is a specialty of the south. I'll just go back during the Spring Festival and give it to your elderly family, one for each side." When Yao Lisong gave the gift, he considered Zhou Bingyi's possible uses.
"It's really troublesome for you. Come on, come on, sit down and take off your coat." Zhou Bingyi said with a smile. He immediately understood Yao Lisong's considerations. This feeling is very thoughtful.
"This is your daughter, she's so pretty. My name is Zhou Hui. Come on, uncle will give you some candies." Yao Lisong took off his coat and took out a handful of toffee from his pocket.
Zhou Hui looked at Yao Lisong timidly, not daring to accept the candy.
"Huihui, please call Uncle Yao." Hao Dongmei smiled.
"Uncle Yao." Zhou Hui called out and then took the toffee.
"Okay, so good." Yao Lisong said with a smile.
"Old Yao, what did you say happened?" Zhou Bingyi asked while making tea. He had received a call from Yao Lisong before. Yao Lisong just said that something was wrong, but did not elaborate on it.
"Bingyi, I'm here this time. Firstly, I want to thank you for your help before. Secondly, I want to ask you for a favor." Yao Lisong didn't beat around the bush. He didn't act vain in front of Zhou Bingyi. .
"Why, you want to see our leader again. Don't you already know him? Why do you want me to introduce you?" Zhou Bingyi put the washed teacup, brewed tea, and placed it in front of Yao Lisong.
"Bingyi, the person I want to see this time is not in the capital, but in Pengcheng." Yao Lisong let it slip.
"Oh? Why do you want to meet people from Pengcheng and come to me? That's your territory, haha." Zhou Bingyi laughed.
"Bingyi, can't you guess who it is?" Yao Lisong asked casually. He felt that Zhou Bingyi could guess it.
"Who is it? There doesn't seem to be anyone I know in Pengcheng, right?" Zhou Bingyi thought for a moment and asked.
"You really don't know?" Seeing that Zhou Bingyi really didn't know, Yao Lisong said, "Bingyi, I want to see your brother, Dean Zhou Bingkun."
"Bingkun? He's not in Pengcheng, he's in Xiangjiang." Zhou Bingkun went to Xiangjiang to develop, and Zhou Bingyi knew this.
"Bingyi, Dean Zhou travels between Xiangjiang and Pengcheng, and he is often in Pengcheng." Yao Lisong explained.
Zhou Bingyi nodded, "I think I heard Bingkun say that he also went to Pengcheng to do some things. However, I don't know what he did specifically."
"Cough" Yao Lisong coughed, his face straightened, and he said solemnly: "Bingyi, I would like to ask you to help introduce Dean Zhou Bingkun."
"What? Lao Yao, if you want to see Bingkun, just go to him directly. Do you need to go to the capital to find me?" Zhou Bingyi felt that Yao Lisong was a little confused. It’s not necessary to meet Zhou Bingkun with such a big fanfare, right?
Yao Lisong stared at Zhou Bingyi and said, "Bingyi, it seems you don't know much about Dean Zhou."
Zhou Bingyi nodded, "I really don't know much about Bingkun." After he finished speaking, he looked at Yao Lisong, waiting for Yao Lisong to explain the situation.
Yao Lisong straightened his body subconsciously again, "Bingyi, ever since Dean Zhou visited our corps in the winter of 1975, I know that Dean Zhou is not a creature of the pond."
Just as Yao Lisong stood up, he was interrupted by Zhou Bingyi, "Wait a minute, Lao Yao, you said Bingkun went to our Corps in 1975?"
"Yes. Bingyi, don't you know?" Yao Lisong said in surprise. He thought Zhou Bingyi had known about the incident in 1975.
"I don't know. Bingkun never mentioned to me that he went to the Corps. What did he go to the Corps to do?" Zhou Bingyi asked hurriedly.
Yao Lisong stared at Zhou Bingyi and looked carefully, "Bingyi, it seems you don't know that you and Dongmei recommended going to college."
Yao Lisong's words made Zhou Bingyi even more confused. Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei recommended going to college five or six years ago. Yao Lisong mentioned it at this time, which made Zhou Bingyi confused for a moment, "Old Yao, please explain to me clearly what is going on."
"Bingyi, Dean Zhou didn't sue you for this matter. Wouldn't it be appropriate for me to sue you?" Yao Lisong hesitated. He wanted to say it but stopped when the words were on his lips.
"Old Yao, if you don't tell me, I won't help you." Zhou Bingyi was a little anxious. It was about Zhou Bingkun, and he still cared about it.
"Forget it, Bingyi, I'd better sue you. In 1975, you and Dongmei were first recommended to go to college, but then they were cancelled. Do you still remember this?" Yao Lisong began to recall. past.
"Yes, I remember. At that time, a director named Dai gave my place to someone else. Dongmei's place was given to a female colleague." Zhou Bingyi said. He had forgotten that his female colleague who could play the piano was named Tao Junshu.
"Bingyi, later on, you got your place in college again." Yao Lisong said.
"Yes, later, I heard that it was because of the superiors..." Zhou Bingyi stopped here. He stared at Yao Lisong and said, "Old Yao, are you saying that Bingkun helped me find the person above?"
Zhou Bingyi was very smart, and he quickly thought of the truth of the matter. The truth about a past event of 1975 is about to be revealed.
"Yes. Bingyi, has Dean Zhou never sued you?" Yao Lisong was actually a little surprised. Dean Bingkunzhou is really mysterious in what he does this week.
"No!" Zhou Bingyi said with excitement, "Old Yao, when Dongmei and I went to college, it was Bingkun who asked the people above to resolve it? What else do you know? Tell me quickly."
"That's it. At that time, I was quite surprised when you and Dongmei regained their places in college. Logically speaking, such a thing wouldn't happen.
So, I paid close attention and inquired about it.
But found nothing.
Later, when I was in the hospital, I accidentally heard that Dr. Zhou from Jichun had been to our hospital.
I inquired out of curiosity, and found out that Dr. Zhou's name was Zhou Bingkun, and that he helped people above him see doctors.
I compared Dr. Zhou's situation and discovered that this doctor named Zhou Bingkun is your brother.
Dean Zhou must be here for your business. "Yao Lisong revealed a past incident.
Zhou Bingyi was silent after hearing this. He had mixed feelings and his eyes were filled with tears.
Hao Dongmei was also a little excited, "Brother Yao, so Bingyi and I can go to college because of Bingkun's help?"
"Yes, Dean Zhou helped. Otherwise, you and Bingyi would have to pass the college entrance examination to go to university. It will probably be two years late." Yao Lisong nodded.
"So that's what happened! Bingkun, he actually kept it secret from me for so long." Zhou Bingyi's eyes flashed with tears of emotion.
"It turned out to be Bingkun's help!" Hao Dongmei also suddenly realized. She asked Hao Jinlong and Jin Yueji about what happened back then, but they couldn't explain clearly.
