Chapter 38: "Boots" Fall to the Ground

The third day was still full of trips, but the north was absent-minded.

"Husband, do you have something on your mind?" Zhou Xuecen asked, the two of them have lived together for so many years, and they have long been clear about each other's temper and character.

"No, I just remembered my work all of a sudden. ”

Xiangbei reminded himself that it was a vacation and that he must devote himself to his wife and children.

"Husband, where are we going today?"

"Guess. ”

"I don't guess, you have to hide this from me, it's boring. ”

"I wanted to surprise you. Xiang Bei took a taxi with Zhou Xuecen and Nuo Yi, "Master, go to Beijing North Railway Station." ”

"Beijing North Railway Station in Xizhimen?" Zhou Xuecen was puzzled, "It seems that there are all green cars, and many trains are sent to the vicinity of Beijing." It's not like going back to Hedong. Why go there?"

"Haven't guessed what to do? That's already a hint, you idiot!"

Zhou Xuecen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes rolled: "Is it going to Beidaihe?"

"That's right, that's where we first went out after we met. Xiang Bei replied.

"Dad, what is Beidaihe?" Nuo's eyes widened, and Zhou Xuecen frowned.

"Uh......" Xiangbei wanted to explain to him in the simplest language, "there is the sea, there is a beach, and there are many, many fun and delicious food!"

Children have a natural affinity for water and are ecstatic to see the sea. When the three of them came to the seashore, the cold wind was bitter, and they could only stand on the shore and watch the sea from afar. Noyi was stunned by the endless sea in front of him, and he jumped up and down and shouted to play in the sea. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to stop him.

"You said you had a bad idea. Zhou Xuecen complained, "Bringing a child to the beach on such a cold day, how do you coax this bear child." ”

"Wife, don't you think it's a feeling to see the sea in winter? I still remember a time when I went to sea with an ocean-going fishing boat for an interview, and during a trip of more than a month, we were floating on the vast sea, as far as the eye could see, there was only an endless sea water, and at night, there was no moon, no stars, and occasionally we could only hear the sound of wind and water. That loneliness really seeped into my bones. People are the most idle, and they always have to find something to do for more than a month! Without the Internet, I read the five cached news on my mobile phone repeatedly, and in the end I memorized them word for word. Everything is so small in front of the sea!"

"The sea in winter is like an old man, it is lonely," Zhou Xuecen said, "I still remember the first time we came here, looking at the sea, we didn't speak for a long time, and my heart was full of awe." ”

After Zhou Xuecen finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent, as if he remembered something. Wan Er smiled: "Do you remember what you said at that time, which was particularly funny?"

"What?"

"You stand on the reef and say happily, "There are so many pigeons!" I say to you, it's seagulls. ”

"Haha, I remember, it was such a shame at the time. ”

Zhou Xuecen: "Husband, I like the sea, when we are old, let's buy a house by the sea and enjoy our old age." ”

Xiang Bei: "Why wait until you're old? As long as you want, now we can go to the beach to live, aren't there many people who are migratory birds?"

Zhou Xuecen: "It's easy to say, don't work and don't make money? Who will feed this little ghost?"

As if he understood, Nuo Yi replied, "Mom, I also have to go to work to earn money, and when I earn money to support you." ”

The two of them listened and burst into laughter.

……

In the past few days, in the Beijiang Evening News, the decision on the handling of the problem of violating discipline in Xiangbei has finally landed.

This was the last link of all punishments, and the top management of the newspaper reached a consensus to resume the duties of the post to the north.

Early in the morning, Chen Jizhou and Yu Chongming both came to the newspaper office early. If you calculate it, it will be an hour earlier than the start time.

"Lao Chen, have you had breakfast? It's rare to be free, you wait for me!" Yu Chongming met Chen Jizhou and sold Guan Zi again.

Yu Chongming took two steps and took out an iron box from the office.

"The old white tea that a friend brought back from Fujian is very rare. Let's go to the tearoom for a taste. ”

The newspaper tea room is on the first floor, with coffee tables, tea seas, and kettles.

"Lao Chen, don't look at the quality of this tea, it is loose and loose, like a withered tree leaf, but the tea brewed tastes mellow, it is called a fragrant! Yu Chongming greeted Chen Jizhou with a smile, and put the purple clay pot, fair cup, tea sea and other teas, looking at this posture, it seems that he is going to taste it slowly and talk slowly.

"Mr. Yu, I don't have the leisure and elegance of you, and I can still have a lot of time to taste old white tea. In the past few days, I've been overwhelmed by things going north. Chen Jizhou complained.

Yu Chongming: "How is it?"

Chen Jizhou: "It's almost, the materials are all written, and they are ready to be discussed by the newspaper and reported to the group." ”

Yu Chongming: "Hehe, what's the inside information?"

Chen Jizhou naturally knew what he meant: "Don't worry, the board should be hit." ”

When Yu Chongming heard this, he seemed to realize the meaning, and immediately smiled: "I know that you are hard, so I say thank you, haha." Inviting you to drink tea is not considered a violation of discipline. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, then I'll borrow your good tea to take a break. ”

Beginning with Lu Yu, the tea saint of the Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago, tea drinking, an originally very simple instinctive activity, has risen to a mysterious Chinese tea culture through a set of religious ritualized procedures.

Yu Chongming presented his tea art to Chen Jizhou in an extremely pious way: first wash the tea leaves twice with hot water, called Run Tea, rinse the fair cup and purple sand cup with tea wash, and then pour it on the purple clay pot, the surface of the tea-soaked pot is like the skin of a girl who has just taken a bath, forming water lines, and disappearing quickly.

After moistening the tea, Yu Chongming opened the lid of the purple clay pot and smelled the aroma of the tea leaves.

After the formal brewing, the first brew of tea does not need to be soaked for a long time, and it can be put into the pot.

Yu Chongming poured the tea into the fair cup through the strainer, just over the neck of the cup, and looked closely, the tea soup was crystal clear, with a faint blue-yellow, and it was a good tea at a glance.

"Mr. Yu, if you practice this craft again, you will become a tea master, haha. ”

"Makes you laugh. Lu Xun said that if you have good tea to drink, you will drink good tea, which is a kind of 'Qingfu'. The old ancestor can't lose this set of things, it's full of wisdom!"

Yu Chongming poured the tea into the purple sand cup, and the two picked up the cup, smelled it respectively, and then took a sip.

Not only to make tea, but also to drink tea.

The oral cavity is the most important organ in the human body to experience the delicious food in the world. The tea in the entrance can not be drunk all at once, but through the movement of lips, teeth, and tongue tips, the tea should be filled in every corner of the mouth, and the tea fragrance can penetrate into every piece of skin through the full contact between the oral surface and the tea.

That's the joy of the tea ceremony!

"This tea is really good, the taste is mellow, especially the aftertaste, there is a hint of bitterness. Young people may not be used to drinking, but older people like us can taste its artistic conception. However, I should be the rough man of Lu Xun's 'no good tea, no autumn thought'. Chen Jizhou half-jokingly, "Mr. Yu, you are really a person who can enjoy life." ”

"Joy in the bitterness, haha. Yu Chongming saw that Chen Jizhou had completely relaxed, and continued to ask about the matter of Xiangbei, "Old Chen, the matter of Xiangbei, in addition to writing inspections and handing over gifts, how to deal with it in the future?"

"There is good news and bad news, which one do you listen to first?"

"Bad news. ”

"The bad news is that Xiang Bei will be given a demerit, and this year's bonuses, advanced individuals, outstanding contributions and other awards will definitely not have his share. In addition, the promotion of professional titles is suspended for two years. ”

Yu Chongming's EQ in this regard is very high, which sounds bad news, but it is actually good news, it depends on how you understand it, at least he didn't lose his job to the north.

"And what about the good news?"

"The good news is that the north is much luckier than the others. Because the city investigation team did not deal with the problem of Xiangbei with others. You don't know, the banquet party and those people deal with it more heavily, which is a stain on their careers, and it is difficult to turn over again. ”

Although Chen Jizhou did not mention the specific content, Yu Chongming understood that the innocence of a person's resume is too important, and once there is a stain in the file, it is equivalent to an extra door on the road to promotion. Once this door is closed, it's too hard to open!

Yu Chongming also felt Chen Jizhou's flexibility - he did not deal with the issue of Xiangbei with others, and Chen Jizhou should have done a lot of work from it. In this way, the newspaper has the right to decide on punishment.

It seems that Chen Jizhou is indeed as people talk about in private: principled and flexible. The punishment is in place first, and then leave a way for the other party to live, and give a chance to make up for it.

"This is really good, Lao Chen, you forget it and save a general for me!" Yu Chongming said, "You don't know, it's not easy to train a backbone reporter, if he leaves, I will find a new person to take over, it will take two or three years." ”

"They all followed the normal procedures, and his punishment was pertinent, and relevant grounds can be found. Chen Jizhou said.

When it comes to work, Chen Jizhou has always been cautious in his speech.

After brewing five or six bubbles of tea, there was no taste left, and Yu Chongming planned to brew another pot.

"Forget Mr. Yu, don't drink it, thank you for your good tea, if you drink it again, you will get drunk tea. Chen Jizhou got up, "By the way, the written document of the punishment decision was issued this afternoon." After the issuance, work can be resumed to the north. ”

Yu Chongming didn't stay, sent Chen Jizhou away, and hurriedly called Xiangbei.

"Xiangbei, how are you resting these days?"

"Very good, Mr. Yu. ”

Xiang Bei did not mention the family's trip. It stands to reason that even during the suspension period, you should report when you go out. Xiangbei didn't report it at the beginning, and now it's naturally inconvenient to mention it.

"The written result of the punishment is out. But there are other punishments, such as disqualifying the selection of this year's advanced individual and other awards. When you get back, the newspaper should still have a written document. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. ”

This is the best news for Xiangbei in recent times, which makes him feel good.

The roller coaster game is finally coming to an end, and it can land smoothly.

"I'll let you know when I get the papers in the afternoon, and you should be able to come to work tomorrow. ”

Looking north to see the time, there was still time to buy a return ticket. It's time to pack up your mood and start anew!
