When Shen Congyun arrived at the train station and was about to enter the station, he remembered what Lou Xiang said to himself that he wanted to go to him by himself, but now he couldn't catch up with the time, so he could only find a public phone to call Lou Xiang and explain the situation, Lou Xiang didn't blame Shen Congyun, but just told him to be careful on the road.

When waiting in the waiting hall of the railway station, Shen Congyun saw many trendy people wearing formal clothes and carrying electronic watches in their hands, he knew that these were coastal people, and now that the country's policies have been liberalized, many people are showing their skills and feet, going all over the world, looking for business opportunities.

And sitting next to Shen Congyun was a father and daughter, the man was forty or fifty years old, with a black coat and a pair of glasses, and sitting next to him was his daughter, who seemed to be a student, holding a professional book in her hand and reading again.

The middle-aged man also noticed Shen Congyun, because Shen Congyun has been observing people coming and going since he sat down, and observation is a good habit, but people of Shen Congyun's age also observe like this, there are no more than two possibilities, the first is that he has not seen the world, and the second is that he is observing carefully, and he is also thinking in his head, but Shen Congyun does not look like a person who has not seen the world.

"Little comrade, where are you going?" the middle-aged man asked.

Shen Congyun glanced back at the middle-aged man, smiled and said, "Go to Jinghua." ”

"So coincidentally, let's stop by, but are you from Merchant City?" the middle-aged man then asked.

"No, I'm a Jinghua and I work here. ”

"I guess it's a government department. The middle-aged man spoke.

The middle-aged man's words made Shen Congyun a little surprised, and asked, "This gentleman, how do you know that I work in a government department?"

"You are a Jinghua person, in my opinion, if you are an employee of the factory, you will definitely work in Jinghua, it is impossible to come to the merchant market, but if you are doing business, you are too plain to dress, now doing business, for fear that others will not know that he is rich, will be swollen and fat, so you should be the person sent here by the above authorities to work, of course, I just guessed, your answer, let my guess become a fact. The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Sir is so good, you can understand my work by just the words I wear, what Mr. does. Shen Congyun also turned to ask.

"I, I'm a doctor, I was sent down by the Jinghua Second Military Region Hospital to support, and I worked in the Merchant Renmin Hospital, of course, this is what I took the initiative to ask, the Normal University of Shangshang City is still very famous in Huabei, and my daughter is studying at the Normal University, I came here, on the one hand, I can support the place, and on the other hand, I can take care of my daughter more. The middle-aged man did not hide his identity either, and replied truthfully.

"Are you Township Chief Shen?" The daughter who had been silent felt familiar when she saw Shen Congyun, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him, and when her father said that he was a person who worked in a government agency, she suddenly remembered that this age was not the young township chief who went to his school to recruit rats in the early days?

"Yes, we did. Shen Congyun replied with a smile.

"You forgot, I told you before, but there are a lot of people in our class who ask questions, and it's normal for you to forget. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Shen Congyun and then at his daughter, very puzzled, he would never have thought that this young man was a township head, he was a director-level professor in the Affiliated Hospital of the Second Military Region, and he was also a guest at the Renmin Hospital in Shangshang City, and he was used to seeing leaders at all levels in Shangshang City for more than half a year, but most of them were half-hundred old men, and he had never seen such a young person become the main person in charge of a certain township government.

"You are the head of the township at such a young age, and you are young and promising, it's not easy. The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"It's all organizational cultivation, and it doesn't have much to do with me. Shen Congyun said humbly.

"Where are you from Jinghua, can I see how far away we are?" said the man in the middle with a smile.

"Me, I live near our former First Army compound, not far from there. "The First Army compound in Jinghua is very famous, as long as the people in Beijing know, the people who lived in it before were the descendants of the families of the old generals and old fathers, but now it is not as brilliant as before, most of them have moved away, in order to rectify the city, the first army compound will be demolished soon.

"Then you live in the city center, we are a unit house, a little far, on the side of Tonghui Bridge. ”

Although the three of them are all back to Jinghua, it is not a train, because the father and daughter are going to visit their relatives in the magic capital first, and then transfer from the magic capital to Jinghua.

After getting on the train, Shen Congyun took out the "How Steel is Made" that Lou wanted to give him, opened it and read it, since Lou wanted to give it to himself, he was also very busy, and he rarely had time to read it, and it was more than a month before he saw more than 20 pages, although he hadn't read it, but Shen Congyun knew almost everything about this story, and now he took it out to see it, just to pass the long journey.

Now the train traffic is not developed, there are many remote cities there is no track through at all, and the speed of running is very slow, from the merchant city to Jinghua City, the direct train has to walk nearly 18 hours, thinking of the kind of high-speed rail in later generations, civil aviation, I have to sigh, the country's development of the golden 20 years of remarkable achievements.

Shen Congyun has worked in Huji Township for a whole year, but the monthly salary, plus the leadership allowance and the subsidy outside, is less than 70 yuan.

The long journey made Shen Congyun feel very tired, and the underdevelopment of transportation capacity led to crowding on the train, and in the middle of the night, Shen Congyun gave up his seat to an old man, but there was no place to squat, so he could only stand there for a full six hours before arriving at Jinghua North Station.

When Shen Congyun came out of Jinghua North with his bag, he was a little excited in his heart, and finally survived, Shen Congyun's parents came back the day after tomorrow, and there was no one else in the family at all. Shen Congyun could only take the key to his own courtyard from the gate guard, and then returned home.

The furnishings at home have not changed in the slightest, and Shen Congyun, who had just sat down, took out a baked cake brought from Hu Ji from his bag, and was about to eat it when he heard a knock on the door.
