Chapter 116: The Old "Orange Secretary"

It was almost half past two o'clock before Yang Zijian got out and ran towards Chen Zhizhou's mansion in the west of the town.

ran out of Jinshi Lane, and caught up with two little Loli, they put on new travel shoes, ran fast, like two beautiful little butterflies, Zizhen's double ponytail, Shu Yu's long braid fluttered in the wind, looking childish and cute, vibrant.

They shouted, "Brother, wait for us." ”

Yang Zijian had no choice but to slow down, wait for them to run closer, and persuade: "I'm going to visit the professors at the university, and I'll play with you at night, be good, go back quickly!" ”

Shu Yu grabbed the corner of Zijian's clothes and said coquettishly: "Brother Zijian, we have met Professor Yi, he came to the primary school to participate in the activities on the afternoon of the National Day, and gave us a lesson. ”

Yang Zijian was stunned when he heard this, his footsteps staggered, and he almost fell into the ditch.

On the one hand, he certainly likes to study history and education quietly, but on the other hand, he prefers to be lively, such as going on the stage and on television, to show his knowledge, eloquence, wit and humor.

In later generations, Yang Zijian saw more videos of Professor Yi having interesting interactive debates with some students.

Zizhen said: "We can introduce my brother, Professor Yi's lecture is very interesting, but his eyes are so scary!" ”

Yang Zijian couldn't help laughing, Professor Yi has a pair of Zeng Guofan's triangular eyes and Jackie Chan's big nose, if he doesn't speak and stare at you, it will indeed make people panic, maybe this kind of strange appearance is impressive.

"Okay, don't introduce me, just stand by, you know?"

"Good!" The two Lolitas agreed crisply.

With two little loli, Yang Zijian quickly ran to the small stone arch bridge in Qiantangxi Lane.

The sky was gray, and although the clouds gradually dispersed, the sun never came out, and the pond creek that passed through the town rose more than a foot, "banging" against the embankments on both sides.

They ran along the riverside of Houtangxi Lane towards the west, and only stopped in front of a large archway.

At this time, there were just six or seven people coming from the opposite side, most of whom were known to Yang Zijian, Secretary Xu and Mayor Ma, but they have now also become ordinary small cadres, accompanied by an old man, in his sixties, wearing a gray Mao suit, a little bald, with a smooth and shiny forehead, and a kind and peaceful face with the national character, but with a faint official authority in his eyebrows.

Yang Zijian had a sense of déjà vu.

Among these people, two beautiful girls stand out in particular.

One is Lan Xue, wearing a lantern long-sleeved white shirt on the upper body, a black polka dot long skirt below, plus a small round face and small dimples, looking sweet and cute, fresh and elegant, with black hair and shawl, walking in the riverside alley, as if a classical girl who came out of poetry. She was holding the old man in her arms and showing him the scenery.

The other one is actually Wang Yun!

Why did she come, why didn't she tell him about it?

"Hey, Zijian!" Wang Yun smiled and waved her hand, she was dressed a little casually, pink shirt and blue jeans, plus a fluffy ponytail, looking lively and cheerful, free, like a pink foal running on the grassland.

She was still followed by Director Wang, dressed in a public security police uniform, but his focus was not on his children, but on the same as Secretary Xu and Mayor Ma, who accompanied the old man affectionately.

Yang Zijian and Wang Yun glanced at each other, then wiped their sweat with their shirt sleeves, trotted over to them and bowed and apologized: "Secretary Xu, Mayor Ma, I'm sorry, I'm late." Director Wang, I didn't expect you to come too. ”

Shu Yu was much more convenient, so he took Zizhen directly, raised the Young Pioneers salute and said, "Good leader!" Then obediently retreated to Wang Yun's side and chatted quietly with Wang Yun, Wang Yun was also very affectionate to these two future "sisters-in-law".

Xu Pingfan smiled and said: "We have just come from Fengyu Bridge, Zijian, and come to meet Comrade Lan Bo, the old head of Meining District." ”

Yang Zijian was taken aback, and then remembered who this was, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow to the old man's parents and said: "I saw you when I was a child, Grandpa Lan, you were the secretary of Nantang Town from 78 to 82 years, and many of the farmland and water conservancy infrastructure in Nantang were built by you, and the joint production contract responsibility system was promoted by you, and the barren mountains and wild mountains around Nantang turned into fruit mountain orchards, all of which are your credit...... The villagers affectionately call you the 'father of Nantang reform'! ”

The old district chief has been retired for two years, he is old, and he likes to hear people mention his political achievements, this kind of real and no exaggerated praise makes him happy, only to make him excited and proud, he came over and shook Yang Zijian's hand and smiled: "Haha, you little showman, you just love to brag, I haven't heard of any 'father of Nantang reform', but I have heard some other nicknames." Yang Zijian is a writer, and the literati are more exaggerated, so I still ask my honest Lan Xue, tell me about it? ”

Lan Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "It's 'Secretary Lu Orange', and 'Secretary Orange'." ”

The old district chief raised his head and said nostalgically: "That's right, these are these two nicknames." Then he said with some regret, "Nantang is my second hometown, I transferred here in the 60s and worked as a commune cadre for five years, and then closed the cowshed, and after being rehabilitated, I worked here as a secretary for four years." It's a pity that I solved the problem of having enough food for the people of Nantang, but I never made the people of Nantang rich. ”

Xu Pingfan was ashamed and said: "Old leader, I'm sorry, it's me who is incompetent!" ”

The old district chief sighed: "It's time to criticize you, I used to ask you to develop ancient town tourism...... However, it's not too late to make amends! ”

Seeing that they were starting to reminisce and review again, Mayor Ma hurriedly said, "Let's enter Jinzi Lane!" Professor Yi probably couldn't wait, so he closed the door and studied the literature and history again. ”

So, the old district chief pulled Lan Xue in his left hand and Yang Zijian in his right hand, and walked towards an alley opposite the big archway. While walking, he asked Yang Zijian about his study and writing, and he read a lot of articles by Yang Zijian, and knew that the sudden development of tourism in Nantang had a lot to do with him, so he was very kind to him.

Yang Zijian said: "Jinzi Lane can be said to be the widest alley in Nantang, more than seven meters, because of Chen Zhizhou's 'gift', because of his meritorious service in the development of maritime trade, so the imperial court 'gave Jinzi', Jinzi official uniforms are only worn by officials above the third grade, and Chen Zhizhou is only five grades, a bit similar to the Qing Dynasty plus yellow coats and other praises. ”

I walked more than 30 meters, but I didn't enter the gate, but walked towards the moon gate of a courtyard on the right. It was originally the garden of the Zhizhou Mansion, but it was confiscated by the government for collective ownership after the land reform, and was converted into a guest house in the sixties and seventies, but after the new brick building guest house was built, it was basically idle. After Professor Yi came, he abandoned the new guest house and took the students to live in this old house.

Yang Zijian said with a smile: "Don't look at this house as inconspicuous, five episodes of the 86-year TV series "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" have been filmed here!" ”
