After two days of rest in the provincial capital, Zhou Yiren visited several friends. Only on the third day did he take Yang Dongxu back to Yanjing by train. Before going to the train station, Zhou Yiren bought some goods that were only available in the provincial capital and asked someone to deliver them to Chen Weimin in Chengwang District. Let him be sent to Yangjiacun to Yang Dongxu's parents, and tell him that BJ will write a letter when he comes back, so as not to worry Yang Dongxu's parents.
Although he had a sleeper ticket, Yang Dongxu was indescribably upset while sitting in the slow and creaking green car. It took two days and one night to travel from the provincial capital of Anhui Province to Yanjing. The train was so good that Yang Dongxu, who had ridden countless trains before his rebirth, almost vomited.
When he arrived in Yanjing, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He had never been to Yanjing before his rebirth, and he was ready to broaden his horizons this time. Who would have thought that the current Yanjing Old City Gate Tower has no shadow of an international metropolis.
Zhou Yiren took Yang Dongxu to live in the faculty dormitory of Peking University. He came back through the route of rehabilitation. Although Leader Wan wants to reassign him to a new job, he can only return to Peking University to live there.
Entering this top university, Yang Dongxu was filled with emotion. As a former junior high school student, he had his own vision for university and dreamed of studying at Peking University. Unfortunately, he didn't even get into high school, let alone go to university. .
Yang Dongxu didn't know how the dormitory where Zhou Yiren lived before was like, but the faculty and staff dormitory in front of him looked very good. Although it is not as exaggerated as an independent courtyard, the layout of two bedrooms and one living room allows Yang Dongxu to find a touch of modernity, even if they only live on the third floor.
"Teacher Zhou, if you still need anything, just tell me and I will help you arrange it." A director in charge of logistics at Peking University who led Zhou Yiren into the dormitory was very polite. He had obviously heard something.
"Director Qin, you're welcome. It's nice here and there's nothing missing. Is the old principal still at school? I'll pay him a visit tonight. I haven't seen him in many years." Zhou Yiren casually looked at the room in front of him and said with some emotion.
"The old principal has retired. After all, he is almost eighty years old and can no longer do revolutionary work. He is now enjoying his old age at home. He lives in their old house in the west of the city. I will take you to see it when I have time."
"Haha, why are you so embarrassed to trouble Director Qin all the time? Just give me the address and I'll go by myself." Zhou Yiren said with thanks.
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome. It just so happens that I'm going to visit the old principal in the next few days. You can rest first after the long journey. There is a small kitchen next to you for cooking. If you don't want to cook, there are meal tickets in the drawer for you. You can go to the cafeteria to eat. The location of the cafeteria has not changed. Teacher Zhou should know where it is, so you don't need me to lead the way, right?" Director Qin teased Zhou Yiren, obviously very knowledgeable.
"Haha, remember. I used to rush to the cafeteria as soon as school was over. How could I not remember it? If I remember the wrong way, I would be hungry."
After chatting with Director Qin for a few more words, the other party left very wisely. Zhou Yiren carried his luggage into the bedroom. The room had obviously been reorganized in recent days. Even the sheets and quilts were new, and the daily necessities were also complete.
Zhou Yiren shook his head with emotion and said nothing. After these years of tempering, his rigid character that he learned to learn has loosened. Without violating the bottom line, you also know that giving in or going along with the situation can help you go further.
He didn't come back to teach. He had new work arrangements, so Zhou Yiren had a lot of free time. The next day, under the direction of Director Qin, I took Yang Dongxu to visit the old principal, a charitable old man with gray hair who was a bit senile but very sober.
On the third day, someone came to pick up Zhou Yiren. After telling Yang Dongxu not to run around, he got in the car and left Peking University.
Feeling really bored in the house, Yang Dongxu locked the door and went downstairs, strolling around the Peking University area.
The scenery of Peking University is very beautiful. In this era, there are no high-rise buildings in Yanjing as a whole, and there are naturally no buildings on the campus of Peking University. So everywhere you look, there are classical buildings, the kind surrounded by mountains and rivers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
At this time, the sky is still blue, the water is still green, and the air at Peking University in July seems to be filled with the fragrance of flowers.
After walking for a while, Yang Dongxu saw a big lake. When he saw the big lake for the first time, Yang Dongxu's eyes suddenly lit up. Then the first thought that flashed in his mind was - can fishing be done here?
Walking up to the pavilion in the lake, it was very lazy to see fish swimming slowly in it. It seemed that a big fish could be suffocated by dropping a brick, which made Yang Dongxu feel even more itchy.
Fortunately, his rationality told him that this was Peking University, the highest institution of higher learning. At the same time, the pavilion was cleaned very clean, and there were no bricks or other handy weapons nearby, which made him a little disappointed.
I wandered home in the morning and saw that Mr. Zhou hadn't come back yet, so I took my meal ticket and went to the cafeteria. Although a seven-year-old kid standing in line with a group of students to get food is very conspicuous.
However, some of the faculty and staff of Peking University also have children, so at most I just haven't seen them and looked at them a few times before, and there is nothing unusual about them.
After dinner, Yang Dongxu became bored again. Walking around campus alone without a pretty girl was obviously very boring. I want to go to the library to have a look, but unfortunately there are no adults and the administrator dare not let a child in there. What if you make trouble in there and tear the books?
After coming out of the east gate, Yang Dongxu wanted to visit Zhongguancun. Before his rebirth, he had heard how awesome that place was. It seemed that it was not far from Peking University and could be walked there. There weren't many people kidnapping children these days, so he wasn't afraid of traveling alone.
But when he got there, he regretted it. There was no trace of Zhongguancun yet. Zhongguancun now was just a big cemetery, and it was also the cemetery of eunuchs. Yang Dongxu's balls ached when he saw it.
Although Yanjing was still a little cool at night in July, it was extremely hot during the day. Yang Dongxu was covered in stinky sweat after walking a few kilometers. Zhou Yiren opened the door and walked in just after washing up.
"Where did you go to play?" Zhou Yiren asked, looking at Yang Dongxu who had just finished taking a shower.
"I just walked around the campus. Have you made your work arrangements?"
"How do you know that my work arrangements have been made?" Zhou Yiren asked with a smile on his face.
Yang Dongxu really wants to say that with that sultry smile on your face, if the work hadn't been arranged and you were very satisfied with the arrangement, you would have smiled so lewdly.
"You guessed it, didn't you go out today because of work arrangements?" In order to avoid being beaten, Yang Dongxu did not tell the truth.
"Little devil." Zhou Yiren stretched out his hand and rubbed Yang Dongxu's head: "It's arranged, deputy director of the Reform Research Office."
"What level?" Yang Dongxu asked casually, his eyes lighting up at the same time.
"You know the level in your eyes. I just want to do something now. Do you know that even a section member can do it?" Zhou Yiren slapped Yang Dongxu on the head.
Yang Dongxu simply rolled his eyes and muttered in his mind: "That sounds nice. Now if I ask you to sweep the streets, will you do it?"
"The tentative decision is to be deputy director. The voice above is not sure yet. When the situation becomes clearer, it should be upgraded by half a level." Zhou Yiren said as he took off his coat. He was going to meet the leader today and said that he would wear more formal clothes. This big The shirt underneath was soaked on a hot day.
Zhou Yiren's words made Yang Dongxu's eyes light up. The Beijing official is one level higher, and the deputy department is better than the deputy department-level cadres below. If you can raise it by half a level in the future, your future will be bright.
After Zhou Yiren took a shower, he changed his body and started walking around the campus while holding Yang Dongxu's little hand. He hadn't been back for seven or eight years. His eyes were full of memories. He kept pointing to familiar places around him to introduce to Yang Dongxu and talk about his own life back then. Youthful years here.
The next day Zhou Yiren officially went to work, and Yang Dongxu started to feel pain in his balls again. I originally thought that Yanjing was an interesting place. Who would have wanted to be bored?
However, this kind of life did not last long. Three days later, Zhou Yiren's work and accommodation were arranged. As soon as the special arrangements were made here, you could move in with your bags.
The new residence is in Maoer Hutong on Di'anmen Street. Not far away is the Huode Zhenjun Temple. Going south and crossing the Jinding Bridge is Qianhai. There is no smog at this time. Standing on the Jinding Bridge Looking around, the island in the middle of the lake is far away.
Zhou Yiren's new residence is in a large courtyard with three entrances in Maoer Hutong. However, the courtyard marked on the address has now become a large courtyard. Private buildings and random construction have caused the courtyard to lose its original charm, but fortunately it is hygienic, so just squeeze in a little bit.
There is no need to think about the main room and the side rooms, they have already been occupied. So it was arranged in the penthouse next to the main room. The penthouse was smaller in area, but it was still spacious for just the two of them.
Yang Dongxu, who seemed to have shriveled up in the past few days, became excited after entering the courtyard. Not to mention that the courtyard is more lively than the school, with a lot of grandparents and children playing.
But this is a courtyard, an old courtyard. If he could buy such a courtyard house now, he would be able to live without worries even if he did nothing for the rest of his life.
Besides, where is Di'anmen Street? Even if Yang Dongxu had never been to BJ before his rebirth, he didn't even know where the door of Maoer Hutong faced. But now he knows very well that this is the inner city, because the Forbidden City is not very far from here.
What is an inner city? From now on, this will be the proper city center, and it is also in Shichahai. Not far away is Qianhai. It can be said that it is a sea-view room. It is an absolutely prime location.
Although there are many residents in the courtyard, they are all in one large courtyard. Therefore, for newly moved users, word of what kind of people are coming will soon spread in the yard.
Soon after, Zhou Yiren, a great intellectual who was rehabilitated, was transferred back to work in Yanjing, and the identity of Yang Dongxu, his godson, was clearly discovered.
It is not unusual for an old man to bring a godson with him. These days, many of the families who were knocked down and exiled to the lower levels for labor reform suffered many casualties. Zhou Yiren was already considered to have had a great life if he had not died.
If he didn't die, he must have met a good family to take care of him in the countryside. This is something that can be easily deduced. And now he has been rehabilitated and returned to the city. In order to repay the benefactor who took care of him in the past, he recognized his grandson as his god-grandson and took him back to the city to attend school and take care of him. This will make his grandson more promising in the future. This can be thought of in an instant. story.
Therefore, although the time of arrival was short, a great intellectual who knew how to be grateful and a lively and sweet-tongued little boy quickly integrated into the life of the courtyard.
