Chapter 20: The Moon is the Hometown of Ming
Although they both told their substitute universities their specific situations, in view of their actual teaching level and the results they have achieved, the two universities have repeatedly retained them. They thought about it for a while, and said they would stay for another semester. After deciding whether to leave or stay, they used the vacation time to visit relatives and friends and go home for a party.
At the first stop, they first returned to Longcheng, the provincial capital, on the one hand, there were still some specific things to do in the province, and on the other hand, they also had old classmates and a few friends to visit. The family sat in the medium-sized car driven by Wang Fengjie, and flew all the way to the toll booth at the junction of the two provinces. After coming down to rest for a while, her father said, "You're tired too, so I'll drive." She said, are you okay? I haven't moved the car for almost two years, can you still drive well? Before my father could open his mouth, his lover said, "Worried about you, men have never been vague about the things they love, not to mention, the old man has driven the car for most of his life, how can there be anything to forget, and he will be proficient in three or eight clicks." She just did it with him, you, I don't know how sorry for the old man, look at you, the son-in-law who doesn't drive, but also talks smoothly, everything. When the old lady heard this, she smiled happily and said, Then no one forced you to learn to drive, just like me, I can't drive, so I don't ask about the driver, who drives, has their own abacus. You too, count down your son-in-law in front of me and your father, who will listen? When we weren't there, we didn't know how to love and kiss. This is your own choice, the chosen man, regardless of our business.
The two of them have a mouthful of words. Mom, why do you talk like that, don't you know what other people think, you have lived in your sixties in vain. This made her father laugh again, quietly, done, let's go. It didn't take the old director two minutes to get on the road.
When he was about to arrive at Yangquan, Luo Tianxing called Dr. Bian, hey, where is the old classmate? We are almost at your house, can you come out and pick us up later. Ah, you've returned to China, and you've arrived near Dragon City, okay, what's the specific location, I'll ask for leave to pick you up. He said, except for the Yangquan service area.
As soon as he got off the Ring Expressway, he saw his old classmate's car, and the car number was written, JG7688. He said to his father-in-law, Dad, pull over and wait for us below. Turn the head of the car, the two cars continue to walk forward one after the other, ten minutes to a community near the medical university, an old and a small two drivers parked the car, the family got out of the car and walked back and forth, in order to relieve the discomfort of sitting in the car for too long and making the legs numb. Bian immediately called his little daughter-in-law and asked her to take her son out for dinner.
After that, he said to Luo Tianxing's old father-in-law, uncle, let's go to Longcheng today to try the dishes of this gang, you have also been out for a few years, see how the dishes in the provincial capital taste. During this period, Luo Tianxing and Wang Fengjie were on the phone, asking their respective classmates or friends who worked in Dragon City to come over for a gathering. Seeing that the two of them were busy contacting their respective friends, he lost no time in saying to Director Wang, Uncle Wang, think about it, if you two are here who want to meet and gather friends and buddies, call them over, anyway, it's a big table, there are more people, and we can have a few more drinks. Comrade Wang thought about it, so he made a phone call to one of his former subordinates, and the other party said very simply, "Ouch, old leader, didn't you go abroad, this is back, oh, you have arrived in the provincial capital, say, where are you, I will arrive soon."
Thinking that the three of them had asked their friends to come over, Dr. Bian also contacted his leaders, the dean and his wife, and also called a classmate who used to study together in the health school, and is now the director of the Provincial Health Department, Ling Ziqian.
The restaurant they dine in is called Jin Restaurant, which is a big hotel that highlights the culture of Sanjin everywhere, it has been in business for more than 10 years, and the production and sales are all local dishes, all the famous dishes since Li Tang, all kinds of snacks, the local flavor is a must, and it is also a distinctive hall in Longcheng.
A group of five of them walked inside, admiring the cultural objects and portraits of Jindi placed everywhere, and they had a sense of intimacy of returning to their hometown.
They sat down to sip tea while they waited for their friends who were about to arrive. Before we could wait twenty minutes, all the people who should have arrived were in place.
Dear leaders, relatives and friends, I can bring you together today because my old classmate Professor Luo's family has returned from Europe, one is to catch the wind for them, and the other is a gathering of relatives and friends.
After the service industry poured the wine, Dr. Bian stood up again, the second glass, I want to raise a glass to all the new friends I met today, come, I met everyone for the first time raised their glasses, thank you for having this opportunity to meet you. After the second drink, he said, "It's also my pleasure." I'll have a toast with each of my new friends. Professor Luo looked at this scene and thought to himself, it seems that this kid really let go tonight, and he still looks like a money-making man. Then he looked at his lover and smiled.
The third cup, I want to make a special touch, today, my leader is busy and busy, and I am going to toast to them with my wife. Dean Liu, as well as Aunt Zhao, the disciple salutes the two of you with a cup, I did it, you are free.
Let's have a few drinks together, make our second drink, and drink together. When everyone finished drinking, during the service industry pouring wine, he said, "Take advantage of this gap, I will briefly introduce my leader and the two returned overseas Chinese. President Liu is the president of Shengtang Hospital, and before that, he had also served as a deputy for five or six years. He is a well-known cardiologist in our province, who has relieved the pain of many patients or even saved their lives. His lover, Ms. Zhao, is also an angel in white, the head nurse of the Provincial Children's Third Hospital, respecting the old and loving the young, saving lives and helping the wounded, and also a people's nurse with excellent character and learning.
Next, I will continue to introduce my classmates and his lover. This is my best friend in high school, although his first degree is still high school, but he is diligent and inquisitive, tenacious and hardworking, after years of unremitting efforts, he has also obtained an undergraduate diploma from the Department of Philosophy of a famous university in France, and is now a professor and tutor of the Graduate School of the Department of Philosophy of a university in Yenching. In addition, this classmate of mine is also a well-known writer, and has published nearly ten literary works, and it is said that two or three foreign language editions and Hong Kong and Taiwan traditional Chinese versions have also been published. Next, I will introduce the lady next to him, who is his lover and the daughter of the two uncles and aunts next to him. She was a figure to be reckoned with, having completed her graduate studies at Nandu University and then went to Germany and France to complete her Ph.D. in economics. Not only that, she has also published five economic monographs, including five or six foreign language editions, and is already a well-known economist on the European continent. Today, she is also a professor and graduate tutor at a prestigious university in Yenching, and a well-known expert in cutting-edge economics research at the Institute of Economic Research of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Everyone once again had a few glasses to wash the dust for my classmates Luo Tianxing and his wife and their elders. The people present listened as if they were talking about cross talk, and they felt that they were small and unpopular. But the Chinese people at the wine table will not admit it anyway, and when Dr. Bian said, "Let's pair up freely and drink", there are still people who steal the limelight. Not to mention.
After eating, when I saw that it was still early, Dr. Bian said, why don't I ask my daughter-in-law to take you to a nearby park, it's not far anyway. I've drunk a lot of wine, so I'm not going to tell you. During the feast, he already knew that someone had already arranged a place to live before him, so he stopped fighting. Shi Xiangwan, a female classmate of Luo Tianxing in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, was his classmate and neighbor from elementary school to junior high school in his hometown, and he was also his earliest suitor. She and one of Wang Fengjie's male classmates followed behind the car, waiting for their orders. After booking to go to the park to play, Dr. Bian and his family went home, and then they were accompanied by this man and woman in a car.
When they arrived at Fenhe Park, they parked their cars and walked deeper into the park, chatting about the progress and changes after their separation. The old father-in-law led the two nephews and walked in front, behind them was Wang Fengjie next to his male classmate, and Luo Tianxing was next to his childhood partner, each chatting with laughter.
At that time, it was a hot summer, and in Fenhe Park in early September, it was already crowded with people. Although the park is very long, it is said to be more than 20 miles long, but there is not much distance in the LC area that can be visited by hundreds of thousands of people. Looking at the brightly lit banks of the Fen River, the two children happily pointed to the east and west, happily looking at this place and looking at it there, very happy. The benches on the side of the path were already full of tourists, and the nearby open space was also crowded with people on the beach. Walking, walking, finally found a vacant lot, fortunately, the clever female classmate had already brought a dozen newspapers, he distributed one to each person, and they each picked up the dry ground and spread the newspaper and sat down.
After chatting for a while, the four of them gathered together and continued to chat, Feng Jie's male classmate chatted with his lover about literature, and Luo Tianxing's female classmate chatted with Feng Jie about European customs and people. As they chatted, the couple talked to each other about marriage and family. They should really have a show. Both men and women, both in Dragon City, are still unmarried. Feng Jie learned this information and hurriedly called the two of them over. The four of them gathered together, and she asked, Professor Luo, this fellow and classmate of yours are still single, and my male classmate is also in trouble, why don't we build a bridge for the two of them. You have also seen it, this is really a pair of talented wolves and girls, and there is really a blessing for the family. You two should take a closer look, too. Working in the same city, they are all department-level civil servants, and they are all graduate students, what a good couple. Let's exchange mobile phone numbers, workplaces, and addresses with each other. I wish you two could be a family. Luo Tianxing looked at this man and woman, and also felt that there was a family's background and the courtship willingness that basically matched, so he said, it's really true, it's still my lover's sharp eyes.
When the two singles exchanged contact information and exchanges, Feng Jie called his father and said that he wanted him to show his relatives in the past two years whether there was any chance and fortune for marriage. At this point, her lover realized that his father-in-law was still an old pedant with rough yin and yang and prediction. Really, you always show it in front of them. So, after obtaining their consent, he asked about their respective birthdays, as well as family situation, work treatment and other elements he needed. After a while, he came to the result, and he signed the contract, and there was no doubt about the good fate.
This cadre sat and chatted until more than ten o'clock in the evening, and then rushed to a hotel at the reception of the provincial party committee.
Tonight is the sixteenth of the first half of the moon, and it is a good time for the tall buildings on the moon. The family has the joy of returning to their hometown, and the joy of living together for three generations, and this new pair of older men and women will be the arrival of a period of longing. They are all looking forward to it.
