Chapter Seventy-Four: Another Uncle Comes
"Hey, Xiao Feng, where are you going?"
The next morning, Feng Xiaochen ran out of the office building in a hurry. Liu Yanping, who had just entered the door www.biquge.info bumped into him head-on, and couldn't help but open his mouth and asked.
On this trip to Germany, Feng Xiaochen was completely familiar with Liu Yanping. Before going abroad, Liu Yanping's attitude towards Feng Xiaochen had changed a little, but mainly because Feng Xiaochen was valued by Meng Fanze, and Liu Yanping was more in awe of him than close to him. But during his stay in Germany, Feng Xiaochen generously lent foreign exchange to Liu Yanping, and later gave some gifts to everyone in the group in the name of relatives, and Liu Yanping also got a copy, which made Liu Yanping feel that Feng Xiaochen was both a backer and a sensible person, and he was a young man worthy of care, and his attitude towards him became more and more affectionate, and he asked Feng Xiaochen several times not to call her an official title, but to call her sister.
For Liu Yanping's closeness, Feng Xiaochen will certainly not refuse. The authority of the office director is very great, Feng Xiaochen wants to stay comfortably in the Metallurgical Bureau, and it is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with Liu Yanping. However, calling Liu Yanping sister is a bit too spoofing, Liu Yanping is one year older than Feng Xiaochen's mother, and he can't wait to call her an aunt.
"Director Liu, I'm going to the city, my uncle has come to the capital. Feng Xiaochen responded.
"Your uncle, he's coming to China so soon?" asked Liu Yanping, her eyes wide and a little incredulous.
Feng Xiaochen grinned and said with a smile: "It's not that uncle, it's another uncle." In Germany, that one is my third uncle, and this is my second uncle, and he works in Qingdong Province. ”
Liu Yanping eased up and said with a smile: "Oh, so that's the case, then you should go quickly." I saw that the bus had just left, and it was time to turn around and come back in a moment, so don't miss it. ”
"Hey, Director Liu will see you back. Feng Xiaochen said, first ran back to the dormitory, carried a gift brought back from Germany for his second uncle, and then took the bus.
Feng Xiaochen's second uncle Feng Fei was a college student trained in China at the end of the 50s, and after graduating from university, he responded to the call and went to the west to work in Dongxiang Machinery Factory in Qingdong Province, and is currently an engineer in the factory. Dongxiang Machinery Factory is a military enterprise located in the mountains of Qingdong Province, Feng Xiaochen has never been there, but he knows that the living conditions there are quite difficult.
During the sports years, Feng Weiren and Feng Li were unable to protect themselves, and they couldn't take care of the second child in the family. After the end of the movement, Feng Weiren said more than once that he wanted to find a way to transfer Feng Fei back to Nanjiang Province, but how difficult it was to transfer the work back then, not to mention that Feng Fei was still an employee of a military industrial enterprise, and the difficulty coefficient had to be doubled, so this matter was never done.
Feng Fei is married in Qingdong, his wife Cao Jingmin is a worker in the factory, and his son Feng Lintao is the same age as Feng Lingyu and is now a sophomore in high school. Two years ago, when Feng Weiren died, Feng Fei took the whole family back to Nanjiang, Feng Xiaochen met him, and his impression of this second uncle was quite good.
A few months ago, when Feng Li wrote to Feng Fei, he mentioned that Feng Xiaochen had been seconded to work in the Metallurgical Bureau of the Beijing Economic Commission. This time, Feng Fei got an opportunity to come to the capital on a business trip, and after staying, he called the Metallurgical Bureau and asked if Feng Xiaochen was in this unit. The people in the unit told Feng Fei that Feng Xiaochen had gone abroad. Feng Fei then left a message, saying that he lived in a certain guest house and left Beijing one day, and if Feng Xiaochen came back before that, he could go to the guest house to find him.
The staff member who answered the phone made a note of it and then forgot about it. Feng Xiaochen They came back the day before yesterday, but they didn't hear about it. It wasn't until I went to work this morning that the staff member accidentally opened the notepad and remembered that there was such a thing. When Feng Xiaochen heard the news, he hurriedly went to Luo Xiangfei to ask for leave, and then rushed into the city to see Feng Fei.
"Second uncle!"
In a guest house near Xidan, Feng Xiaochen saw Feng Fei who was packing a large travel bag. Compared with two years ago, Feng Fei's appearance has not changed, it seems that he has lost a little weight, and his spirit is still very good.
"Xiaochen, you're back from abroad!"
Seeing Feng Xiaochen appear, a smile bloomed on Feng Fei's face. He threw the travel bag aside, stepped forward, stretched out two hands and pulled Feng Xiaochen into the room, and sat down on the edge of a bed.
"Yes, I heard that you were sent abroad as a business backbone, and I really didn't expect you to have such achievements. Feng Fei looked his nephew up and down, his joy overflowing.
"No, it's just because I know some German, so the unit sent out a group, mainly to be a translator, not a business backbone. Feng Xiaochen said.
Feng Fei said: "That's not bad, what, did you learn German from your grandfather? Why haven't I heard you talk about it in the past?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "Grandpa taught me some in the past, and after he died, I practiced on my own for two years, and I was barely able to cope with some daily conversations. ”
"Haha, in front of your own uncle, you don't have to be too modest. If your German is only able to cope with some everyday conversation, how can a leader send you abroad. By the way, have you seen or heard anything abroad?" Feng Fei asked.
Feng Xiaochen put away his smile and said seriously: "Second uncle, I was about to tell you, this time I met someone in Germany. Second uncle, can you guess who it is?"
Feng Fei was stunned for a moment, and then his face became solemn, he looked at Feng Xiaochen's eyes, and asked tentatively, "You don't mean it...... Did you meet your grandmother?"
"So you all know!" Feng Xiaochen blurted out.
When he was in Germany, he pondered about this matter, and felt that he, the third generation, didn't know about Yan Leqin and Feng Hua, but Feng Li and Feng Fei should know. When Feng Weiren took Feng Li and Feng Fei back to China, Feng Li was 9 years old and could already remember, although Feng Fei was only 5 years old, it is estimated that he still has some fragmented memories. After this, Feng Weiren will definitely discuss the situation with them about Yan Leqin, so it is impossible for them not to know that Yan Leqin is still in Germany. They didn't tell Feng Xiaochen about Yan Leqin, the next generation of children, just out of some political considerations.
Hearing Feng Xiaochen's answer, Feng Fei stood up all of a sudden, and asked excitedly, "You really met your grandmother! So, you also have a third uncle, are you also there?"
"Second uncle, don't worry, sit down first, and wait for me to tell you slowly......"
Feng Xiaochen beckoned Feng Fei to sit down again, and then introduced the incident with Yan Leqin, Feng Hua and others to Feng Fei, and took out their photos and handed them to Feng Fei, which was originally Yan Leqin asked him to bring back to send to Feng Fei, but he didn't expect Feng Fei to come to the capital by himself.
Feng Fei took the photos of his mother and younger brother's family, looked at it again and again, tears swirled around his eyes, and it took a long time before he raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's really good, our family can finally be reunited, but unfortunately, your grandfather left too early, otherwise, how happy he would be if he knew the news." ”
Feng Xiaochen could understand Feng Fei's mood, and he sat next to him and comforted him. Feng Fei had almost recovered from his excitement, he patted Feng Xiaochen's head, and said with a smile: "I said that it was a little strange when you called me today, in the past, you were directly called uncle, why do you call the second uncle now, it turns out that you have found the third uncle." ”
"Who told you that you never told me that there was a third uncle. Feng Xiaochen protested.
When Feng Xiaochen came back from this trip, Yan Leqin and Feng Hua's family asked him to bring gifts, which were prepared according to Feng Li and Feng Fei. Feng Xiaochen was originally worried about how to send Feng Fei's gift, but now it's okay, just give it to Feng Fei directly. In addition to the gifts, Yan Leqin also gave 10,000 marks in cash to each of his two sons, and Feng Xiaochen also took it out and handed it over to Feng Fei at this time.
"This ......" Feng Fei took this huge amount of money equivalent to his salary for six or seven years, and he didn't know what to say. The money was given by his biological mother, and he didn't need to be polite. But with such a large amount, he really felt a little hot when he held it.
"Second uncle, you are now considered a person with overseas connections. The leaders of our unit are saying that once you have overseas relations, you can realize the four modernizations in your personal life in advance, and you are now in this category. Feng Xiaochen was joking with Feng Fei next to him.
Feng Fei suddenly came to his senses, he glanced out of the door with a thief's heart, and was sure that his colleagues who came with him were not listening outside, so he quickly put the money away, and then asked in a low voice: "Xiaochen, how many people know about this matter?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "Everyone in our Metallurgical Bureau knows about it. When my grandmother came looking for me, everyone was there, and I came back with so many things, it was impossible for people not to see me. There's no need to hide this kind of thing from people now, right? Besides, you can't hide it, you can't just take the money and not spend it, right? Also, grandma said that she wants to write to you. ”
Feng Fei nodded and said, "Well, you're right, this kind of thing really can't be hidden." However, now it is not as good as a few years ago, and overseas relations are not so sensitive, and there are two colleagues in our unit who have overseas relations, and one of them is still a middle-level cadre, and the factory did not say anything. However, I have to report this to the organization as soon as I get back, otherwise it will not be appropriate. ”
After saying this, Feng Fei asked Feng Xiaochen about his situation in the Metallurgical Bureau, and told him to pay attention to hard work, unite comrades, respect for leadership, etc., anyway, it was some nagging from the elders to the younger generations. Seeing that it was almost noon, Feng Fei stood up and said that he was going to take Feng Xiaochen out to eat. Feng Xiaochen didn't shirk it, he also stood up, not paying attention, but tripped on the big travel bag that Feng Fei was packing just now.
"Oh, what is this!" Feng Xiaochen looked at the contents of the travel bag through the untightened zipper, and was surprised.
