The girl's name is Jia Hongying, she is in her twenties, and she is a worker in the mine workshop. In addition, the man who was in the meeting with them, in his early thirties, was named Ji Aijun, a worker in the packaging workshop. Both of them are in charge of publicity in the workshop.

There weren't too many passengers in the carriage, and the aisles seemed loose. At this time, most people are not sleeping, they are chatting, or eating some food they have brought with them. The inside of the carriage was filled with the smell of food.

From time to time, the conductor walked over and looked up to check the goods put on the shelves by passengers. The railway police also walked over from time to time, not knowing what they were busy with.

The announcer inside the carriage began to make the announcement. The voice of a pleasant female announcer came from the small speaker in the carriage, explaining to the passengers the time required for the trip, the stations to pass, and the precautions. After a while, the sonorous and powerful singing voice of Yang Zirong in the Peking Opera "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" came from the radio.

The wheels of the train make a monotonous and rhythmic sound at the seam in the middle of the tracks.

Xue Kemei sat in the car, looking out the window at the thick night, in the night, in the distant field, there were some lights flashing sporadically, looking a little lonely.

The broadcast inside the carriage also stopped. At this time, some passengers also began to close their eyes, resting their heads on their backs, and their heads swaying to the rhythm of the train.

Xue Kemei was also a little tired. Now there is no production in the workshop, she has not been on the night shift for a long time, she has not slept during the day, and now her eyelids are a little sleepy.

A conductor, pushing a cart full of food, came over, shouting as he went......

Xue Kemei leaned his head on a corner of the carriage seat, and fell asleep in a daze at some point.

When she was asleep, she heard a voice call her:

"Xiao Xue...... Xiao Xue...... wake up, wake up quickly, wake up......"

Xue Kemei's body trembled, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Yongqiang and Zhao Tiangang standing in front of them.

Zhao Tiangang said with a smile:

"You two women go to the berths and lie down for a while. The two of us sit here for a while. ”

The girl next to Xue Kemei looked at Xue Kemei, and when she saw that she didn't move, she was a little embarrassed to go, so she said:

"We're not sleepy, just sit a little longer and we'll be there. ”

"Go ahead, it's still early. Zhang Yongqiang pulled the girl up.

When Xue Kemei saw this, he couldn't go if he didn't go, so he had to follow the girl to the No. 6 sleeper car.

In the end, it was a sleeper, the inside of the carriage seemed very quiet, the lights were very dim, just enough to see the aisle, and the sound of people sleeping soundly came from time to time......

found the bunk, the girl took the initiative to go to the upper bunk, and Xue Kemei slept in the lower bunk.

Xue Kemei was also sleepy, as soon as she put her head on the pillow, she fell asleep after a while.

The train was still shaking rhythmically, and in the night sky, the sound of the train's horn could be heard......

The sound of the train's radio began again. The sound of Dongfanghong's music came from inside.

As soon as Xue Kemei opened his eyes, many people in the carriage woke up. People rubbed their eyes, some looked at their watches, and some began to pack their suitcases.

At this time, Zhao Tiangang also came in, he looked at Xue Kemei, and said:

"The provincial capital is coming, you two go and wash your faces first. ”

Xue Kemei and the girl walked out.

The train came in.

A few of them took their bags and walked out of the train station.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate of the train station, I saw that in the crowd in front of me, there were many people shouting and shouting, and some people holding large and small signs, holding them high.

Jia Hongying's eyes were sharp, and she saw a sign in front of her at a glance that read:

"Provincial Enterprise Propaganda and Cultural Work Site Experience Exchange Meeting Pick-up Station", and then happily shouted:

"Director Zhang, look, aren't you here to pick us up for a meeting?"

Zhang Yongqiang smiled, "It's still early." Let's not go in a hurry, I think let's find a small restaurant to eat first. Then go to check in. What do you think?" After speaking, he looked at Zhao Tiangang.

Zhao Tiangang smiled and said:

"You are the leader, everything is up to you. ”

So, Zhang Yongqiang walked in front, it seemed that he was very familiar with this place, turned left and right, turned around a few times, and led to a state-run hotel.

He chose a table by the window, then sat down, took out his wallet from his clothes, took out a quick amount of money and a local food stamp in the province, handed it to Xue Kemei, and said:

"If you want something to eat, buy it. ”

The meal was served.

The meal is also very simple, a few oil cakes, some pickles, and a bowl of egg soup per person.

"After we finished eating, we went to the provincial office of our factory first. I have something else to do there. Zhang Yongqiang said to Zhao Tiangang while drinking hot soup.

Zhao Tiangang chewed on the oil cake, he nodded, and said:

"Go ahead and go about your business, you can rest assured here. There's me. ”

After eating, they went to the cement plant's permanent office in the provincial capital.

The office is located in the innermost part of the first floor of a more famous hotel in the provincial capital, with three rooms all year round.

knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man greeted him:

"Ah, two directors, why are you here? When you come, you don't call me?"

"We're here for a conference, they have a guest house there, everything is arranged, you don't have to worry about it. We're just here to see, and I have something else to do. Zhang Yongqiang said as he walked over to a sofa inside and sat down.

Xue Kemei and others also sat down.

Zhang Yongqiang took a cigarette handed by the middle-aged man, and chatted with the man while smoking.

Xue Kemei had heard of the cement plant's office in the province for a long time, but had never seen it. She looked at a painting hanging on the wall in the room.

"Okay, Director Zhao, you can lead the three of them to report first. I'll do something first, and I'll go as soon as I'm done. After speaking, Zhang Yongqiang waved his hand to the three of them and walked out.

Zhao Tiangang finished drinking a glass of water, then stood up and said:

"Let's go too, we can sleep a little longer. ”

It was a mining bureau that held the provincial enterprise propaganda and cultural work on-site experience exchange meeting. It is a very large mining bureau that is well-known in the industry.

The place where they were received was a six-story guest house. In front of the guest house, there are many eye-catching slogans:

"Warmly celebrate the convening of the provincial enterprise publicity and cultural work on-site experience exchange meeting"

"Welcome brother units to visit our bureau to guide the work"

Zhao Tiangang led a few people into the guest house. At the door, there are several desks with sign-in books on them.

Zhao Tiangang knew that his handwriting was not good, he smiled and said to Xue Kemei:

"Your handwriting is good, you go and sign it. ”

After signing and completing the formalities, a girl of medium stature led them up to the second floor, and then opened three rooms. Then, give them the key.

Zhao Tiangang walked into Xue Kemei's room and looked at it, there were three beds in it. The inside of the room is also very clean and tidy.

The waiter walked in and placed two kettles on the table.

Zhao Tiangang looked at it and said:

"The room was ok. You didn't get a good night's rest last night, so let's sleep a little longer, it's still early. I'll lie down a little longer. With that, he yawned and walked out.

Jia Hongying looked at Xue Kemei, smiled, and said:

"Let's sleep, too. I don't know how to do it, lying there on the train, I can't sleep at all. Finally, as soon as I was confused, it was dawn. With that, she put the pillow back down and lay down to sleep.

Xue Kemei actually didn't rest well yesterday, she happened to be sleepy, so the two of them fell asleep after a while.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at a large conference hall and the meeting began.

First, a deputy director of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee began to speak.

The content of the speech was mainly about some welcome speeches, as well as about the importance of convening this conference, as well as some schedules and arrangements for holding this conference.

This afternoon meeting was not long.

In the evening, the organizers held a reception dinner in the cafeteria.

In the dining hall of the guest house, the lights are shining brightly, and music is playing inside. The atmosphere was also very warm.

There were really a lot of units participating in this meeting, and a canteen of Nuoda was full of many people.

Zhang Yongqiang and Zhao Tiangang, they sat together with the leaders who came here for the meeting.

Xue Kemei and the rest of these people were all arranged to sit with people from other units. The purpose of this arrangement is to allow them to get to know each other and communicate with each other.

Xue Kemei was dazzled and looked around, when suddenly, she heard someone calling her from behind:

"Ke Mei ......"

Xue Kemei was taken aback, here, it was impossible for someone to call her like this, she quickly turned her head and looked, and immediately exclaimed: It turned out that here, she actually met her female classmate at the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts.

This female classmate's name is Tian Haixia, back then, the two of them were still in the same dormitory, and when they first joined the work, their relationship was also good, but later, after a few years, their mutual contact gradually decreased.

They were both very happy to meet classmates they hadn't seen for many years. The female classmate happily asked:

"What a coincidence, we can meet here, how are you now, are you okay?" As soon as the two girls met, they talked endlessly.

Tian Haixia smiled and said to a middle-aged man sitting next to her:

"This master, I'm sorry, I met a classmate from college and want to have a good chat with her, can you change seats with her?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he stood up happily and said:

"Okay, let's talk, I'll sit the same wherever I sit. ”
