Chapter Twenty-Four: Lingling, Why Are You Here!
"Let's go back! It's too cold outside. The visitor said to Takahashi, who was standing on the deck.
Sail out of Tokyo Bay and enter the East China Sea and then the Yellow Sea, where the sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and the cold winter winds blow in from the northwest.
Standing on the deck, Takahashi gazing at the end of the horizon, thinking about what he had to do when he got home.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, Yan Zhuo had already returned to China by plane, and he wanted Takahashi to follow him on the plane, but Takahashi refused.
The superstructure really needs to be opened, but not now, and he doesn't want to waste time on the wine table with the officials of Northern (Harmony) Beijing. Yan Zhuo took a lot of money from Takahashi, and also took the task of helping Takahashi dredge the upper level.
It is impossible for Takahashi and his uncle to come back together, and when both of them are gone, there will be no leader to manage Wanhu that can be trusted.
Takahashi followed the attendant behind him, who was a year or two older than him, but still a young man, back to the ship, feeling that the time was quite long.
Now the plane to China is only the North (Harmony) Beijing-Tokyo route, and Takahashi does not want to go to North (Harmony) Beijing so he can only take a boat. The boat was not as close as expected, and it took a big circle to land in Dandong from the Yellow Sea, and accompanied by the entourage, boarded the green train bound for his hometown county.

"Lao Wang, do you say it's reliable? There is a big boss of the company who wants to come to our place to invest? What do we have in this poor and remote area? There is also a plump hydropower station in that city, and the rest of the things built by the devils are not all in the long (harmonious) spring. ”
Wang Chong, an old comrade of the organization department of the county party committee, glanced at the guys around him, and then looked at the large number of people in front of him and said, "You see that not only the county magistrate Li is here, Secretary Liu is here, the county magistrate in charge of the economy is there, and there are also the heads and brains of those provinces and cities. ”
The guy who has been sitting on the cold bench for decades still can't understand why he wants to invest in their county. The transportation is not convenient in the cold weather.
Didn't you see that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the provincial capitals were moved from the city, and the long (harmonious) spring went. Don't...... Then this devil has a cub here?
It shouldn't be...... Didn't all those orphans go back to their roots?
Chief Sun took it for granted that the boss of this large company was an old man.
Hunting in the cold wind, the main leading cadres divided a small stove one by one, and carried it warm in their clothes. The main errand runners, to a limited extent, try to find places where the wind can't blow.
The most pitiful are the primary school students selected from various elementary schools, and their formation of a team is lined up in two columns at the entrance of the small train station, not only there is no stove, but there is no place to hide from the wind and snow. The little faces and hands were red from the cold, and they wanted to stomp their feet and rub their hands. The teacher who led the class shouted loudly and cursed.
"How long will it take to come......" Sun said as he hid under the eaves and looked at the gray sky.

The green train, which didn't pick up speed, was slow, but it was warm inside the carriage compared to the cold outside.
The conductor carried the kettle from one end of the carriage to the other, and each passenger chose to fill the container in his hand, and Takahashi was no exception.
He held the enamel cup, blew the white smoke from it, and looked out the window from time to time. Memories of leaving China in this body also keep coming.
The same green train, the same winter.
"Son, you go over there to work hard and earn a lot of money! There is no future in the village, I have time to read a book, my mother heard that the doctor in the village said that knowledge changes destiny ......"
Takahashi's eyes gradually became misty, and the attendant next to him looked at the low houses on both sides of the railway, and said inappropriately, "China is still so poor......
Takahashi was not angry when he heard the attitude of his follower who did not regard himself as a Chinese at all, and he was not angry. Although most of the people who go to the capital are still at the bottom, the economy is good, even if it is the bottom, it is stronger than China.
Although Takahashi had never heard of a university professor giving up his teaching position to go to the Sewer, he had seen a high-level intellectual who was a high school teacher in China go to the Sewer.
Poor and lowly mourn everything.
If you are backward, you will be beaten, and if you are poor, you will be spurned.
Takahashi's idea is simple, as long as he makes his country rich and strong, those chaotic voices will naturally disappear.
After taking the train for more than one night, the next day the train finally arrived at the destination of Takahashi.
Although the train station is small, there is a lot of traffic coming and going. Needless to say, there is no high-speed rail in these years, and although there are small cars, there are only two trips a day, not to mention the expensive, and the capacity is also very limited. This is the only way to get there, which also runs only a few times a day, to get around.
People who enter and leave the train station at dawn have a question, that is, the middle-aged people at the gate of the train station who look like officials, and who are those children waiting for.
Doesn't it mean that those big officials don't like to take trains, but like to take cars?
Moreover, what kind of big officials can make these old men in the county wait for two days in the ice and snow.
"Hey, Lao Wang, why hasn't the rich merchant come yet? We're all waiting for the next day, and when I came home yesterday, I saw a big frostbite on my hands. I touched some cherry wine, and it was better. However, I think it will be bad again when I go back today. ”
"How do I know? I know as much as you. Wang Chong didn't have any good tones.
"It's coming! It's coming! It's all in good spirits! It's a rich businessman here!" shouted the little errand clerk who ran out of the train station.
"Hurry up and hold up the flowers! Do you remember the slogan, don't make a mistake for a while!" the team leader shouted loudly. Those officials who were not qualified to enter the station to pick up the rich businessmen, no matter how much resentment they had in their stomachs, they also cheered up one by one.
"President, there are people holding up signs, as if they are picking us up. The attendant pointed to a few men in military overcoats.
"Leave them alone, let's go out first, and if they ask why we didn't go to them later, you'll say I'm not very good at Japanese. They write a sign with all fake names, and it's normal that I can't read it. Takahashi said.
He walked out of the train station with a few of his attendants.
The leaders of the province and the head of the city watched the whole train get off and the train left, and one of them touched the cold sweat on his head and said, "The rich chamber of commerce will not get off the wrong station......
"Xiao Liu, you go to contact the railway and ask them if they see that there are distinguished passengers who have gone down to the wrong station. ”
"Yes!"

Takahashi walked out of the train station, surrounded by four people, he was indeed a little conspicuous, but he didn't write on his face that I was a wealthy businessman.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome......" He saw two lines of children shouting slogans in the cold wind outside the train station, and suddenly saw a familiar face, Takahashi shouted, "Lingling, why are you here!"
