"Warm congratulations on the formal signing of the joint communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States!"

In the bustling crowd, Zheng Jianguo looked at the banner on the platform, and his heart was surging until he got off the train and saw this banner, he didn't understand the reason why he was called to the capital overnight, but with the appearance of this banner, it seemed that the news heard on the side of the road in his memory gradually became clear, and he followed the people towards the exit with the futon in great strides.

Outside the exit of the station, the crowd was surging, Zheng Jianguo reluctantly asked someone in the crowd, only to find that the car he was sitting in was a slow train, and the place to get off was not the old station as mentioned in Zheng Donghua's letter but the south station, fortunately, the staff quickly reported a transfer route to him after hearing that he was looking for a school.

When the crowd got into the car, Zheng Jianguo sat down after finding a position, this was the time to look at the great capital, there were a few puffs of white smoke floating in the gloomy sky, and he looked down at the watch on his wrist and found that it was already ten o'clock, and he knew that this PM2.5 had to be around 200.

There are few vehicles on the wide road, but you can see bicycle tricycles shuttling between them from time to time on both sides, the round bus ran not long after the glass had more layers of fog, and then you had to wipe off it with your hands and lie on it, and it didn't take much effort to see a donkey cart next to it being driven away, only to know that not only was there no ban on donkey carts in Qi City, but also the capital was the same.

Zheng Jianguo got off at the South Railway Station, and Zheng Jianguo, who was sitting all the way along the bus to the north, was not idle, holding a notebook in his hand and looking at the address above to find the coordinates, and soon found that the bus passed the language college where Zheng Donghua and Kou Yang were located and continued to drive north, and at this time he had a general impression of the place he was going to.

"The sandstorm is terrible again—"

Gray sky, gray street, gray people, Zheng Jianguo squeezed out of the car with his things and gray face, and saw a pile of people at the door of the car: "Go to the back, go to the back, the front can't come up." ”

"If you can't get up, don't get on, there's no place behind, wait for the next one!"

Automatically filtering out the noisy sound of the front door and the back door, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect it to be so difficult to travel in the capital, but he didn't take a few steps to be blown by the cold wind, and he knew why so many people crowded the bus without festivals, it was warm!

Finding the door of the language college with the wind from the cuff neckline into the clothes, Zheng Jianguo originally thought that he could find a mailroom or a doorman or something, but he didn't expect that when he turned around with his luggage and found an office building, he actually ran directly into the place he was looking for: "I'm here to participate in the training camp, where can I go through the procedures?"

"Here you are, you are Zheng Jianguo, right?"

There were three or four people sitting in the small office, and Zhang Qin, who was close to the door, glanced at his dress, and immediately came to the front with a smile on his face: "I am Zhang Qin, the director of your batch of training team members, you come in and sit down, and I will ask someone to take you to the dormitory." ”

"Hello Director Zhang, is there still a dormitory?"

Zheng Jianguo entered the door, put the bedding on the ground at his feet, closed the door, looked at the red stove burning in the office, felt a little warmth, took out a letter of introduction and student ID, Zhang Qin took it over, a pair of small eyes were full of surprise: "Although I have heard that you are only 17 years old, but when I see you, I feel your youth even more, this training staff adopts closed management, you can't go out at will after you come in, and you have to ask for leave when you go out——"

"Then, I want to meet my sister, I don't know who to ask for leave?"

Zheng Jianguo saw Zhang Qin put down the letter of introduction and student ID and asked, then saw her pick up the phone on the table and said, "Xiaowei? I have a training team member here, please take him to go through the formalities." ”

"To see your sister?"

Zhang Qin frowned slightly after putting down the phone, then looked at the wall clock on the wall, nodded and said, "Then you will finish the formalities later, even if you are given half a day off in the afternoon, but you must come back before five o'clock, how about it?"

"That's no problem, my sister goes to school at the Capital Normal School, and when she came, she looked like she was on this road. ”

After Zheng Jianguo finished speaking, he heard the door opened, and a young man in a tunic probed into the room, and his eyes swept over him behind the wide lenses and fell on Zhang Qin: "Director Zhang, this is also a member of the training camp?"

"Yes, I arranged it again today, and I arranged it the same as other comrades. ”

Zhang Qin said and handed the letter of introduction and student ID to the young man, and said: "Zheng Jianguo's unit is in Qi Provincial Medical College, and his file has not yet come, but according to the above requirements, you can go through the relevant training procedures for him in advance, Zheng Jianguo, you go through the procedures with this comrade." ”

As Zheng Jianguo picked up his luggage and followed the young man out of the office, Zhang Qin turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who had been holding the enamel teapot next to him, and said, "He doesn't seem to have been selected by our department——"

"I just received a notice to add him, maybe it has something to do with it, right?"

Blowing the tea leaves floating in the tea jar and taking a sip, the middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Qin next to him, blinked and said: "If someone asks, you can tell the truth, these are not things we can do, one by one wants to take advantage of this opportunity to go out, we are just working." ”

"But those who don't know think that we are responsible, so it seems that there are a lot of people who have a way, including Zheng Jianguo, there are 3. ”

Zhang Qin's round face showed a wry smile and said, this training department has not been established for a long time, but it has always been in preparation, until yesterday suddenly came calls and notices to be considered busy, but with the beginning of the busy work, all kinds of calls have also been found, more or less asking about the corners of these things, but this level of things can she say: "It's just that I don't think there is a way at his house - maybe the real person doesn't show up?"

"Zheng Jianguo of Qi Provincial Medical College seems to have heard of it somewhere. ”

When Zhang Qin was confused, Wei Qiang, who left the office with Zheng Jianguo, was also wandering around with similar thoughts, but compared to the former, he was not a person who was good at hiding his thoughts: "Where do I seem to have heard of you?"

"Well, my latest research was published in China Youth Daily. ”

Referring to what happened in the office before, Zheng Jianguo didn't want to hide his identity, mainly because he knew that there was a lag in the dissemination of information at this time, and they were talking about the joint communiqué at this time, so the shock brought by "The Lancet" and "Time Magazine" did not know when it would come: "My discovery fills the gap in the world." ”

"You, yes, you're the little graduate student?"

Wei Qiang quickly turned his head with a shocked look on his face, and then looked up and down at Zheng Jianguo, who was not good-looking, with a patched cotton jacket and cotton pants on his small flat head and big cotton shoes on his feet, looking incredulous: "I, I thought you were just a college student." ”

"Well, I'm still the youngest graduate student in the Republic. ”

Zheng Jianguo nodded with a smile, he also knew that he would be dressed very down-to-earth, because he knew that the capital was colder than Qi City, he put everything he could wear on his body before he came, if there were no migrant workers at this time, I am afraid that everyone would regard him as a migrant worker who went to the city to work.

"So you're going abroad this time - to study?"

Wei Qiang asked subconsciously, and then looked back and forth as if he remembered something, and found that there were no others and said with relief: "You better don't say it, we also have confidentiality discipline, come, I'll help you take it, the building we went to is still a little far away - I really didn't expect you to be so young." ”

"Secrecy discipline?"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect to hear such a statement, but fortunately, he remembered that the joint communiqué was issued yesterday, so when it came to those of them who were urgently summoned, there must also be corresponding confidentiality regulations in it, so he unceremoniously gave him the unsinkable woven bag in his hand: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, we're here for you. ”

Wei Qiang tried it with a woven bag, and when he saw that there were not many things in it but the weight was still not light, he heard Zheng Jianguo say, "Shall we eat and live here?"

"All of you, your canteen doesn't charge bills and money, as long as you take your training card. ”

Wei Qiang subconsciously said, and after finding that Zheng Jianguo nodded, his white face showed a mysterious color, and he said: "I heard that you still have a sum of money, and you can go to the Red Capital Service Department to order your own clothes." ”

"That's not bad, well, if I go out in this, I'm afraid I'm going to make some people look ugly. ”

Zheng Jianguo followed the little guard who had not introduced himself to the office to go through the documents and procedures, and then did not speak until he was sent to the two-story building located in the west of the school: "Most of the trainees in our class are in the city, so your dormitory is from other places, but there are not many people, I will leave." ”

"Okay, goodbye!"

Seeing that he didn't introduce himself until he said goodbye, Zheng Jianguo stuffed all his luggage under the bed after sending people out of the door, and there were six beds in a room of more than 20 square meters, three of which were people, counting him and the fourth, and he was still thinking about what to do after he finished it, so he packed up and hurried downstairs with two magazines.

The magazine was specially brought by Zhu Hong, and in order to give him a chance to give away, he brought five copies at a time, in addition to the set left for Professor Ye, he also left a set for the library in the school, so he still had three sets in his hand at this time, so he took out the set and prepared it for Zheng Donghua, but he didn't expect that before he left the campus, the foggy sky sprinkled snowflakes.

Putting down the ear guards of the hat on his head, Zheng Jianguo found the phone and called the medical school and Zhu Hong, and then took a car for half an hour to see the gate of the Capital Normal College, but when he grabbed the doorman and asked Zheng Donghua's class, a bell rang in the quiet school: "Bell bell bell-"

"It's class, you can go in and find it. ”

After the guard who was wrapped in the same body as Zheng Jianguo finished speaking, he closed the door of the mailroom, Zheng Jianguo also looked at the wide campus speechlessly and sighed, at this time, there were already students running out of the classroom and starting to gather somewhere, and he felt that he had come at an inappropriate time.

If you are early, you can block the door of the classroom, and if you are later, you can go downstairs to the dormitory to guard, but before Zheng Jianguo made a decision, he found that many students ran to the school gate, knocked on the window of the mailroom and asked about the same thing: "Is there a letter today?"

"I still went downstairs to the girls' dormitory and waited. ”

Zheng Jianguo looked at the mailroom that was surrounded in an instant, he also went to the school gate to get the letter, of course, most of the time it was passed on to him by others, so when he wanted to find someone to ask, a hurried figure ran over and stopped, and then took two steps back and stared, his snow-white little face was full of surprise: "Zheng Jianguo?"

"Huh, Kou Yang~"

The familiar voice came into his ears, Zheng Jianguo turned his head, and immediately came to her with a happy face, but he didn't expect that there was a man standing next to her, wearing a green military cotton jacket, with thick eyebrows and big eyes on his face full of curiosity, and immediately ignored the goods and said: "I'm still thinking about how to find you and my sister." ”

"Sister Donghua went to eat, I came to see if there was any letter, why did you come to the capital?"

Kou Yang pulled the scarf around his neck and looked at Zheng Jianguo and said, then turned his head to look at the young man next to him and said, "Du Xingxing, go and see it yourself, I'll see it later, Jianguo, I'll take you to Sister Donghua." ”

"Well, Kou Yang, I'll go over first, and we'll see you later. ”

The young man said and turned his head to see Zheng Jianguo flying away, Kou Yang also turned around and looked at him and said: "It just so happens that you have invited me to dinner, and I also invite you to try the craftsmanship of our school, but now there are not many dishes in winter, cabbage, radishes, radishes, cabbage, and cabbage, if you want to eat some other dishes, why don't you add a meat dish?"

"Not to mention school, it's almost the same everywhere in winter, only cabbage and radish can grow a little longer. ”

Feeling the faint cordiality in Kou Yang's tone, Zheng Jianguo also followed her words and chatted, and the two quickly arrived in the noisy canteen one after the other, and saw Zheng Donghua, who was holding a rice bowl in both hands, running to the side with a surprised face: "Jianguo, why are you here?"

"Why don't go back to the dormitory to eat, let's eat here, just so I'll go find a pair of chopsticks and buy some food." ”

Kou Yang continued, and a pair of bright eyes fell on Zheng Jianguo's face, and the latter nodded and said, "Okay, I'll rub your meal today." ”

"Okay, why don't you just sit over there, then I'll go get some more food. ”

Kou Yang's big eyes instantly bent into crescents and ran to line up, Zheng Jianguo also turned his head to look at Zheng Donghua next to him, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared: "You seem to have lost weight?"

"Some time ago, my stomach was a little uncomfortable, but Kou Yang was busy taking care of it, and now it's better. ”

Zheng Donghua knew that this younger brother was now an expert among doctors, but she didn't want to hide it, but after finishing speaking, she blinked and said, "Don't tell your father and mother about this, they are worried about the province, why did you come to the capital?"

"Sit down and say. ”

The two of them sat down at one of the few empty tables in the cafeteria, Zheng Jianguo looked at the table and put the magazine in front of her, and said, "Kou Yang said at that time, I may want to study abroad." ”

Zheng Donghua's eyes saw the cover of the magazine, and a voice sounded next to her: "Oh Donghua, this is your boyfriend?"
