Yan Jiecheng came back from Luo Gong's house and saw He Yuyu wandering in the front yard.
Then he smiled and said, "You silly boy, what are you doing here?"
He Yuyu glanced at him angrily.
He looked into Yu Yu's innocent eyes. Yan Jiecheng was too embarrassed to joke anymore, so he stopped his bicycle, picked up the box in his hand and said:
"Sit inside the house."
Yan Jiecheng opened the door and put the box in his hand on the table.
He poured two glasses of water from the thermos bottle, gave one to Rainwater, and drank the other himself.
After all, riding a bicycle from West City to East City is very tiring.
"What, there's no class today. Why are you back?"
Yan Jiecheng asked.
He Yuyu didn't answer his words, but just looked at him and said, "Why, you didn't even tell me that you were leaving. Yan Jie Chengyou must be too heartless."
"Hey, judging from what you said, it's not like I won't come back. It's only been a year and a half. I'm telling people on the street that I'm going to the northwest."
He Yuyu was furious, and Yan Jiecheng was too irritating.
I, He Yuyu, am just a pedestrian on the street to you?
Don't you have any place in your heart?
It's been rubbed so big that it's still like this.
"Yan Jiecheng, do you know why you are so annoying? It's just that your mouth is so annoying."
Yan Jiecheng looked at He Yuyu blankly and said, "No, everyone in our unit likes me, especially one named Chen Hanliang."
He Yuyu threw it directly to Yan Jie and made it into a scarf, and said: "I heard that the winter there is cold and the wind and sand are usually strong, so I knitted a scarf for you. You can keep it if you want to wear it." After that, he went out angrily.
Yan Jiecheng looked at He Yuyu's back and sighed helplessly.
Looking at the scarf in his hand, it was messily knitted and ugly as hell.
I thought about it but put it in my luggage.
He had a lot of luggage, including four suitcases.
A bamboo suitcase contains some personal items, such as pens, ink, and paper.
There was also a wooden box sent by Luo Gong, and Yan Jiecheng organized the documents and manuscripts inside.
I put the unused manuscripts and Master Zhan's manuscripts at home, so that the box was half empty.
After Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e heard about it, they also gave him two suitcases, which looked very wealthy.
Xu Damao also gave Yan Jiecheng two bottles of Maotai to drink on the way.
Unfortunately for the two of them, the day of departure was too tight, and Yan Jiecheng had to prepare too many things, so they didn't have time to have a good drink.
We had no choice but to meet for a date.
At night, Yan Bugui's family gathered together, and no one spoke. The third aunt couldn't help wiping her tears.
"Brother, they all said that you are leaving our house. Don't you want to be careful?"
Seeing the little baby, he asked with a sweet voice. Yan Jiecheng touched Yan Jiedai's little face and said, "Brother is on a business trip. He will be back when you grow taller."
Then Yan Jiecheng said to the second eldest brother Yan Jiefang: "The eldest brother has been away for a long time this time and may not come back during the New Year.
You have to help your parents take care of the third and fourth children. "
Seeing Yan Jiefang nod, Yan Jiecheng added, "Don't fall behind in your studies, otherwise when I come back, I will study with the second uncle of the middle school."
Yan Jiecheng clenched his fist loudly as he spoke.
Yan Jiefang was so frightened that he immediately promised to be obedient.
Yan Jiecheng looked at him and couldn't help but frown. This guy looked unreliable.
The third aunt endured her sadness and prepared food for Yan Jiecheng on the road tomorrow.
The father and son then avoided the two younger ones and started talking in the east wing.
"Xie Cheng, days are getting tighter and tighter. The food our family saved last year will probably be able to survive. Don't worry at home.
But what if you go there and have no one to take care of you?
You remember that no matter what happens, life is the most important thing.
You can give up anything when you are in a pinch. Survival is the most important thing. "
Yan Jiecheng also nodded.
Yan Bugui saw it and said again: "You have to take everything with you. It's not as good as at home when you go out."
Yan Jiecheng opened the drawer and took out the Browning, two magazines and another sixty rounds of ammunition.
Yan Jiecheng's gun permit has long been replaced by one issued by the headquarters.
After all, the name of Iron Boss is still very good these days.
I have done target practice many times at the headquarters before. After all, my talent for learning is there. Now I can say that I can hit the target with every shot.
The headquarters shooting range is extremely formal. After all, most of the people in the headquarters are soldiers. From Minister Teng to Yan Jie, it is not too much to have a small pistol.
Yan Bugui watched Yan Jiecheng skillfully dismantle the pistol and nodded with satisfaction.
He sighed: "In this world, sometimes a gun is better than your mouth."
After Yan Jiecheng put away the pistol, he said to Yan Bugui: "Dad, I guess these hard days have just begun.
Let me tell you, please don't spread the word. Many projects in our ministry have been canceled this year, which shows that the problem is more serious than we thought.
The supply will become less and less in the future. You should look at the food stored at home and use it within three years.
Don't miss out on the rich, and be careful about the people in the courtyard. If you are very hungry, anything will happen. "
Although Yan Jiecheng trusted Yan Bugui in this regard, he still couldn't help but tell him.
After hearing this, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed and he said, "Don't worry, no one can take advantage of me.
In the past, when I was little, I couldn't even take away a grain of food from our house.
Not only are these chickens and dogs in the courtyard a bunch of reckless men. "
“You, please don’t be careless and be careful if your car overturns in the gutter.
Then Yi Zhonghai is smart. "
Seeing that Yan Bugui understood, Yan Jiecheng stopped talking nonsense.
He then talked about another thing.
"Dad, my apprentice Fan Jinjun is getting married on the 11th of next month. I can't go here. Please help me get there."
Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "Is that the young man who sent the bicycle?"
"Yes, I'm not here to prepare a gift urgently. This is a ten-pound national food stamp. You can help me give it to him when the time comes. You can use this dollar to buy two more thermos bottles."
Yan Jiecheng could only say sorry to Fan Jinjun.
The father and son told each other that the third aunt over there had prepared things and was calling them.
"Boss, here are the ten eggs I boiled, and some steamed buns I steamed, and I will bring this jar of pickles for you to eat on the road." The third aunt said as she put the things into a bamboo frame.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the eggs and white-flour steamed buns in the box, and felt moved in his heart.
Seeing Yan Jie Dian looking at it eagerly, Yan Jiecheng picked up an egg and gave it to her and said, "Here, I'll give you one to eat."
"I don't want it. Mom said it was for you, big brother, to eat on the way."
Seeing how sensible the little baby was, Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I still have my brother."
Seeing Yan Jiefang running over at this moment, Yan Jiecheng held back the word "go" on his lips and said, "Here, you too."
He simply gave another one to Yan Jiekuang.
Yan Bugui saw him but didn't say anything.
The third aunt sighed, took out the remaining three eggs from the pot, and put them into the bamboo basket.
He grabbed Yan Jiefang's ear and said, "You dog can't hold two ounces of oil in your belly. I originally left an egg for each of you to eat tomorrow morning."
Isn’t it a waste if you all eat it this late in the evening? "
Yan Jiecheng also smiled when he saw this.
The next day, it was dark.
Yan Bugui and his wife got up.
Today they are sending Yan Jiecheng to a car.
The third aunt got up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast for the father and son.
After Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui had breakfast, they tied their luggage to the bicycle and pushed it out.
After leaving the gate of the courtyard, a bright light suddenly shone over, and both father and son were blinded by the bright light.
After a while, Yan Jiecheng took a closer look and saw that it was Luo Gong's car.
The driver also got off the car and walked up to Yan Jiecheng and said, "Director Yan, Mr. Luo arranged for me to take you to the station."
Yan Jiecheng was also happy and relaxed, and said: "I'm sorry to trouble Brother Zhang."
Several people moved their luggage to the car, and Yan Bugui pushed the bicycle back home.
Then he followed Yan Jiecheng and got into the car.
Yan Bugui sat carefully along the way, for fear of breaking his seat.
Yan Jiecheng felt funny when he saw Yan Bugui like this.
Thinking: The old man may not have the capital to brag again.
When I arrived at the train station, my genius gradually became brighter.
After carrying the luggage out of the car, the driver, Brother Zhang, left.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the station they built and felt emotional in his heart. He never thought that he would also be a passenger one day.
There were some stalls in the station square. Yan Jiecheng was in a trance when he saw some people buying oranges.
The two waited for a while in the square in front of the station and then met Lao Xie.
Lao Xie's wife is a middle-aged woman who looks smart and capable. She will help Lao Xie carry large and small bags.
Yan Jiecheng greeted him quickly when he saw him. After the two of them met, they walked towards the waiting area of the station.
There were not many people in the waiting area early in the morning, so the two of them found a sofa and placed their luggage next to the sofa.
This train station is the only one in the country that has dedicated sofas for resting.
Neither Yan Bugui nor Lao Xie's wife wanted to leave, so they insisted on getting them on the train.
So this will stay on the site.
The two of them were also surprised by the majestic appearance of the station.
From time to time, I asked some questions. Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie were both old acquaintances at the station, so of course they could answer them well.
After a while, Yan Jiecheng, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came not far from them, and he was also listening with interest.
Yan Jiecheng and the others didn't care, he was just a curious young man.
The two of them took the train from Beijing to Xijing at eight o'clock, so it was still early for them.
Yan Jiecheng specially found the station security guard and registered the guns he carried.
After all, if you bring this thing in public, you still need to make a report.
On the way, I met Stationmaster Gu and they chatted for a few words.
After Yan Jiecheng completed the formalities and met Lao Xie and the others in the waiting area, time was running out.
After a while, a station staff member came to Yan Jiecheng and whispered: "Director Yan, our station master has asked me to take you to our staff passage to take the bus first, otherwise it will be too crowded and crowded."
Yan Jiecheng was naturally happy and quiet. He looked at Lao Xie and got up to pack his luggage.
A few people soon arrived at the hard-sleeper car where they were.
Only then did he say goodbye to Yan Bugui.
"Dad, please go back quickly. Don't worry, I will take care of myself. After a while, there will be too many people to squeeze out."
The two said goodbye to their relatives and then began to pack their luggage.
Place things on the luggage rack one by one.
"Hello, leader, I am the conductor of our train. Do you need any help?"
Just when the two of them had finished cleaning up and were about to sit down and rest for a while, a middle-aged man in railway uniform stood at the door of their hard sleeper box and asked.
"Comrade conductor, we are doing very well here, please excuse me." Yan Jiecheng said politely.
"Leader, don't bother me. Stationmaster Gu specifically told me before getting on the bus."
Only then did Yan Jiecheng realize that it was Station Master Gu's arrangement.
So this makes sense.
When Stationmaster Gu told the train conductor, he didn't say anything specific, he just said it was a leader from the headquarters.
That's why the train conductor was so cautious.
"Go and do your work. If I have any problems here, I'll come back to you."
The train conductor was a little anxious when he saw that he had not helped the leader, and when he saw the time for boarding passengers, he left helplessly.
Lao Xie looked at Yan Jiecheng's thoughtful look and said with a smile: "Director, our comrade conductor is probably still mumbling. I don't know what our levels are."
After speaking, he burst out laughing.
Yan Jiecheng also smiled knowingly.
Stationmaster Gu is a division-level cadre, and the headquarter leader he calls can still make the train conductor not take notice.
After a while, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes whom I met in the waiting area also got on the bus.
Coincidentally, they shared a berth with Yan Jie.
A whistle blew, and the train started to move.
After the train started moving, several people became familiar with each other.
This young man's surname is Tian. He is a top student at Renmin University. After graduation, he worked in the propaganda department for two years but found it boring.
Only then did he apply to work back in his hometown of Huangyuan.
The Huangyuan area is located in the north of Qin, adjacent to Shan in the east and Gan Province in the west.
This place is a typical Loess Plateau.
"I'm just not convinced, why do we people have to suffer so much. That's why I asked to be transferred to a local place.
If you work hard, you must let the villagers and party members change from black buns to yellow buns. "
On the train, Xiaotian talked about his ideals with everyone. His biggest ideal is to make the people have enough to eat.
Yan Jiecheng felt very heavy when he heard his ideal. He knew that Xiaotian's ideal was difficult to realize at present.
I hope that the setbacks of reality will not knock down this cadre who wants to do practical things.
"Xiaotian, I'm a few years older than you, and there are a few things that I don't like to say.
When you first arrive at the grassroots level, you should read more, listen more, speak less, and never be reckless. "
Yan Jiecheng felt funny when he saw Lao Xie trying to persuade Xiaotian.
Since ancient times, practical people have always had the tenacity to not look back until they reach Nanshan. They are not so easy to listen to others' advice.
"Hey, let's not talk about it. Brother Xie and this little brother, where are you going?"
Xiaotian looked at the two of them carefully. They didn't look like cadres, and they did know a lot. However, these days, you need to be a cadre to sit in a sleeper berth, so he was still a little confused.
"We went to Qingyang area in Gansu Province to report just like you." Lao Xie said with a smile.
Yan Jiecheng watched the two people talking while feeling the characteristics of trains in this era.
哐哧哓哧…
Yan Jiecheng counted the numbers and listened to the sound.
The number between the two squeaks is his count.
Based on this, he mentally calculated the actual speed of the train.
Yan Jiecheng sighed. The speed was only between forty and fifty kilometers per hour.
The journey from here to Xijing is at least 1,300 to 400 kilometers. At this speed, it may take more than 35 hours. Including the stopping time at the intermediate station, it is estimated that it will take more than ten hours.
So they need to take the train for three days.
You must know that this is a steam locomotive, and you can see the billowing smoke from the window.
The train smelled of soot.
So, riding in a car is really a torture.
It is torture to the soul and body.
