Tang Su then understood, laughed embarrassedly, smiled and thought of something, glanced at him charmingly, and said: "Righteousness is righteousness, pure but not necessarily, hum, if it were pure, you wouldn't have kissed me while I was dreaming." ”

This time it was Li Rui's turn to be embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, suddenly smiled, and said, "Oh, the weather is really good today......"

After breakfast, it was time to separate, Li Rui sent Tang Su down to take the car, and Yiren will go to the airport to take a plane back to Shanghai.

Before getting into the car, Tang Su sent an invitation to Li Rui: "The 22nd of next month is my birthday, and I officially invite you to my house to celebrate my birthday with me." Don't you want to hear me sing, I didn't sing to you last night, I'll make it up for you on your birthday. You call Xu Da and Sasha by the way...... Oh, by the way, Sasha also said that she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, I don't know if she is serious or joking, you confirm with her, and then tell me, I can help arrange it. She has great conditions, much better than me, as long as she is given a chance, she can become an instant hit. ”

Li Rui took out his mobile phone and looked at the calendar, hey, what a coincidence, the 22nd of next month is Saturday, but unfortunately even if it is Saturday, he may not have time, and said: "I'll take a look, if I have time, I'll rush over, if I don't have time, I can only wish you a happy birthday." Tang Su glanced at him and said, "That's not good! Whether you have time or not, you have to rush over, if you don't come, I won't recognize you as a friend, hum." Li Rui smiled: "Okay, I'll try my best." ”

The two shook hands and said goodbye, and Tang Su scratched Li Rui's palm twice with his middle finger before closing his hand. Li Rui didn't know what she meant, and looked up at her in wonder, but he received a strange smile from Yiren, and he became more and more puzzled in his heart, but he couldn't ask it, so he could only secretly comprehend it.

Seeing the Yiren go away by car, Li Rui walked to the side of the road, beckoned to stop a taxi, and rushed to the train station.

He rushed to the train station, went to the ticket window to buy a ticket, luck was not bad, just in time to catch a northbound bullet train that would stop in Jingnan within ten minutes, bought a ticket and went to the waiting room to check the ticket, followed the flow of people to the platform and waited, waited for five or six minutes, the bullet train came, and there was no need to mention the ticket check. At this time, it is not a New Year's Day, there are not many people in the car, he has a seat on this ticket, he found a seat and sat down, and was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of Chen Chen, who worked at Qingyang Railway Station, and his heart moved, and he took out his mobile phone to call her.

"Is your foot injury better?"

After the phone was connected, Li Rui first asked the purpose of the call, which was to comfort Chen Chen's injury, and her slender and delicate feet came to mind, and she suddenly felt a little itchy and unbearable.

Chen Chen was a little excited when he received his call, and said excitedly: "It's much better, it doesn't hurt much anymore, and I'm also here for work, haha." Li Rui was surprised, and asked: "Go to work, why is it worth being so excited?" Chen Chen said proudly: "I was promoted, do you think I'm worth being excited?" Li Rui's heart moved, and he understood, and said: "Is it Cai Rulong who fulfilled his promise and asked his father to promote you through a relationship?" Chen Chen said: "Yes, where are you? If you are free at noon, I will invite you to dinner." Li Rui said: "I don't know if I'm free at noon, let's talk about it then, I'm on the train, I'll go to Qingyang Station in a while, you wait for me to meet." ”

Chen Chen agreed, and hung up the phone.

Li Rui picked up his mobile phone, a little funny, he thought that a beauty like Chen Chen was working at the city train station just to pass the boring time, and he didn't care about promotions and the like, how did he know that she attached so much importance to promotion, no, after being promoted, there was a smile in her words, of course, this is also human nature, people have vanity, and get promoted, Surpassing colleagues is a way to satisfy self-vanity, and it is likely that the beauty has more vanity in this regard, which shows that she Chen Chen is a living person, not a vase living in a vacuum.

"Young man, you're from Qingyang, right?"

Li Rui was reminiscing about Chen Chen's light anger when a gray-haired but energetic old man on the opposite seat suddenly greeted him.

Li Rui raised his eyes and recognized that the old man who spoke, like himself, also got on the train from the provincial capital station, and there was a man in his forties who was sitting next to him, with a big waist and a round waist, and he was with him, when he got on the train just now, the man was still holding the old man, and listening to the old man also spoke with a Qingyang accent, but it was not very authentic, with a southern accent, very strange, and replied with a smile: "Yes, old man, you too, right?"

The old man smiled: "Speaking of which, I can also be regarded as a Qingyang person, my ancestral home is Qingyang, I also lived in Qingyang when I was a child, but I moved to other places with my family when I was a teenager, and after more than 60 years, I finally had the opportunity to come back and see, so I was a little excited to meet you by chance." ”

Li Rui understood why his Qingyang accent was not very pure, and he smiled and chanted: "When I left home and returned to my hometown, my hometown accent has not changed and my sideburns have declined, I am talking about a homesick guest like you." Old man, I dare to represent our Qingyang, and welcome you home. ”

These words were full of enthusiasm and warmth, the old man was very excited when he heard it, his eyes were moist, he beckoned to him, and said: "The little fellow is a chapter, revealing elegance and generosity, very good to listen to, come, come and sit, let's have a good chat." He nodded to the strong man sitting next to him.

The strong man understood, got up and walked to Li Rui's side, wanting to change seats with him. Li Rui smiled at him kindly, got up and sat down beside the old man.

The old man said: "Don't have your surname Huang, I don't know your surname, little brother?" Li Rui said: "Hello old man Huang, my surname is Li, you can call me Xiao Li." The old man smiled and said, "Xiao Li, hehe, Xiao Li of Xiao Li's flying knife, okay." Li Rui smiled and said, "Old Man Huang, from Jingnan to Qingyang, the journey is only half an hour, and we are destined to meet each other, and it is really fate." I take the liberty to ask you, do you still have relatives and friends in Qingyang?" the old man nodded heavily and said, "Yes, there must still be, but they are all distant relatives." I'm back this time and I'm going to take the time to see them. ”

Li Rui asked, "Oh, I don't know where your ancestral hometown is?" The old man said: "The Qinghe Road Department on Dongguan Street in the city was where our family lived back then. Li Rui was taken aback and said, "Good guy, that's an old generation's business, not to mention the Qinghe Road Department now, even Dongguan Street is gone." ”

Ancient cities like Qingyang in China, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, were not divided, and were divided into lots according to several city gate checkpoints of the city (slightly larger cities will also be divided according to "fang"), for example, the place near the north gate of the city wall is named Beiguan, and the place near the east gate of the city wall is named Dongguan. At this point, there is no difference between the ancient state, the government and the county seat, such as Xi'an, an ancient city, there are four passes, east, west, north and south, and a small county town from the national map will definitely have four passes.

Qingyang also has four passes, east, west, north and south, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the pace of urban construction and development is getting faster and faster, the four passes have slowly disappeared from the city map, replaced by a variety of fashionable and trendy street names. For example, Dongguan Street mentioned by the old man surnamed Huang has long ceased to exist, and the original site has long been filled with various buildings.

As for the Qinghe River Department, we have to start with Qinghe. Qinghe River, like Sangbai River, is a big river that flows through Qingyang City, even bigger than Sangbai River, Qingyang City is named because it is located in Qinghe Heyang, but with the change of history, Qinghe slowly broke off and became a dry river, and the river became flat again, and now it no longer exists. However, during the Qing Dynasty, there was still water in the Qinghe River, and the water was very large, causing major floods many times. In order to control this large river flowing through several state capitals, including Qingyang, the imperial court set up an official office in Qingyang, which was the Qinghe River Administration, which was in charge of Qinghe water affairs. Of course, this official office, which still existed for decades after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, has not left even a single tile to this day, and has long become a few strokes in the history books.

Despite this, the Qinghe Road Department in the era of its existence, can also be called one of the several famous offices in Qingyang City, the location is good, the garden is large, the environment is elegant, the fame is also prosperous, it is to Qingyang, it is similar to Prince Gong's Mansion to Beijing. The people who can live in it will definitely not be ordinary people.

Li Rui thought from this that this old man Huang was definitely not an ordinary person, maybe he was one of the several major families in the history of Qingyang.

The old man frowned, and said, "What? It's gone? It's not even Dongguan Street?" Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Dongguan Street, it should be near the north and south of Hongqi Road now." As for the Green River Department, I've only heard of it, and I don't know exactly where it is, but it's definitely gone now. The old man's face showed a look of emotion and melancholy, and he sighed half-loudly, and said: "Yes, how many buildings are left by the old generation? Even Beijing has demolished the Nine Gates." Li Rui nodded and said, "If you want to see the old house, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it, but if you want to visit relatives and friends, you can go to the local community or the police station to inquire." ”

The old man was silent, not speaking, and his thin and wrinkled old face was full of regret and melancholy.

Li Rui looked a little unbearable, and comforted him: "Old man, if you want to open something, it's not a big deal if the old mansion is gone, everyone is still there, it's enough to be happy, after all, more than half a century has passed." The old man laughed twice and said, "I'm just remembering, but I'm not sad or angry." Where do you live? Tell me, do you still have any impression?" Li Rui smiled: "My ancestral home is not in the city, but in Yongyang Village, Yongyang Town, in the north of the city......
