Chapter 59: The Gift

Zhang Ziqiang didn't come, but Chen Ke came first, followed by a tail, it was the little girl, Chen Ke was helpless: "I don't seem to understand what she says, so she wants to follow me." The little girl was holding Chen Ke's skirt behind and didn't leave Chen Ke for a single step, looking pitiful.

Tang Yi laughed: "Then you can recognize her as your goddaughter." Chen Ke made a bitter face, glanced at Tang Yi, and pulled the little girl to sit down, sure enough, Chen Ke asked her a few words where she was from and where her family was, the little girl looked confused, and chirped a few words, speaking very quickly, it was Korean.

Chen Fangyuan said: "It's from the Korean ethnic group, probably not from our Yanshan, was it abducted and trafficked?" ”

Tang Yi frowned, and said in his heart that Li Yuzhu was bold enough, illegally hired child labor, and was still a compatriot of ethnic minorities.

At this moment, there was a soft knock on the box door, and then a crack was opened, revealing a self-smiling face.

Tang Yi smiled and beckoned to him: "Come in." ”

"Hey!" Zhang Ziqiang responded, cautiously walked in and stood up, his hands on the trouser line, as if he was a primary school student who saw the teacher.

"Zhang Ziqiang, how are you doing?" Tang Yi asked him with a smile.

"It's good, it's good, thank you Secretary Tang for your concern." Zhang Ziqiang laughed with him.

Tang Yi pointed at the little girl again: "What's the matter with her?" I worked part-time at a hotel when I was just a little old. Does Li Yuzhu know about this? ”

"Of course Li Yuzhu knows." Speaking of Li Yuzhu, a few traces of resentment immediately flashed in Zhang Ziqiang's eyes, which was keenly captured by Tang Yi.

"She's from there." Zhang Ziqiang pointed to the north, "Boss Li hired her to be cheap and to attract guests." ”

Tang Yi frowned slightly, knowing the origin of the little girl, at that time, it was not uncommon for North Koreans to smuggle to the mainland, not to mention smuggling, the North Koreans in Sinuiju lived in poverty, and some of the bold ones secretly did business with mainlanders, stole things from the factory and sold them to the mainland, and they had already crossed the initial stage of petty fights such as mainland thieves stealing manhole covers, and directly dismantled machines and sold them to the mainland.

Yanshan was not originally a place for smugglers, but with the rapid change of the county's environment, there have been snakeheads who have set their sights on Yanshan.

It seems that this issue should be taken seriously as soon as possible, Tang Yi is not disgusted with North Koreans coming to beg for a living, but the relationship must be handled well, and the dissatisfaction of the Yanshan people cannot be caused by robbing the job opportunities of the local people in Yanshan, let alone friction with North Korea because of this. And the smuggling of minors is a big problem, even if these cardamom young men and women are smuggled to the three eastern provinces, they are afraid that it will be more miserable, there are many people on the mainland, the quality is uneven, which city does not have a beggar group? The beaten and crippled teenager begs on the street, and finally gets a steamed bun to eat, and most of the income is taken by those black-hearted garbage.

Thinking about it, Tang Yi's mood became heavy, sighed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Dididi......" The phone rang, Tang Yi picked it up, and immediately said strangely: "Second uncle." Hurriedly took the phone out of the private room and went to a secluded corner of the corridor to talk.

"Xiaoyi, the two old men have agreed to your business, and they will get engaged next month." Tang Wandong said with a smile, "Congratulations, hugging the beauty, the little girl nodded, you kid is not shallow." ”

Tang Yi was stunned? Betrothal? This is too fast, and said with a wry smile: "I think it's better to get married." ”

Tang Wandong smiled and said, "Don't be dissatisfied, you kid is still full of resentment? I don't know how many people envy you, get married? The little girl will only turn eighteen next month, if it weren't for her lack of age, you think you ran away? Next month, the little girl will be eighteen years old, and you will go back to Yanjing to help her celebrate, and by the way, she will get engaged. ”

Tang Yi was silent, things came too suddenly, so that he had no strain for a while.

"Xiaoyi, there have been some changes in the Military Commission recently, the old man of the Ning family and our old lady have joined forces, the old man of the Ning family is very grateful to our old lady, so your problems have been put forward, not to mention that you have been prosperous in Yanshan recently, and the old man of the Ning family also values you very much, to be honest, the second uncle admires you a little, I am not as good as you at your age."

Tang Yi faintly knew what it meant for the two old men to move, and even more knew the significance of the alliance between the Tang family and the Ning family.

"And you are engaged to get married temporarily, it will still be of a lot of benefit to you, let's talk about the incident a while ago, if there is a fiancΓ©e who is rightfully appreciated, the matter will be handled a little easier."

As soon as Tang Yi heard it, he knew that the second uncle was talking about the "photo gate" incident, and the matter was not a big deal, and the second uncle might not have noticed the article of a southern tabloid, but he definitely paid attention to Qi Jie's movements, thinking that it was because Qi Jie's actions noticed this matter.

Tang Yi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, second uncle, I will celebrate her birthday next month." ”

"It's not to help her celebrate her birthday, it's to get engaged."

Tang Yi smiled bitterly, the second uncle was thoughtful, and he must hear his clear answer.

"Well, second uncle, I will be engaged to her." Tang Yi made his own promise, at this moment, he had mixed feelings, Qi Jie, if you really will leave me, then let me taste loneliness myself. However, for the sake of the Tang family and the faint dream of a strong country in my heart, I chose the path I wanted to take.

Tang Wandong smiled with satisfaction: "Good boy, you have really grown up, when you return to Yanjing, the second uncle will talk to you well." ”

"Second uncle, I have a document that may be of some help to the military, how can I send it to you safely?" Now that he has made up his mind to marry the Ning family, Tang Yi is calm in his heart, and he thinks of his own Linux source code, and has been thinking about how to deal with it, I originally wanted to hand it over to the military, but now it is appropriate, in fact, the source code cannot be used directly, first of all, it is based on the UNIX core, the real core is not in control, and the current machine configuration is different, and many functions, and interface drivers are inexplicable now, Its significance is more to bring military computer talents a new programming concept, a kind of image operation system architecture, for the military to develop a safe and efficient operation platform as soon as possible to lay the foundation.

Tang Yi regretted a little why he didn't learn hardware in the first place, and didn't study more knowledge in this area, if he knew a little bit of Loongson, it would be better if he could make some contributions to the development of his own CPU by the military, this is the foundation of a strong army, the foundation of a strong country. But I'm not a superman, so I can do as much as I can. A lot of things can only be done gradually.

Tang Wandong heard Tang Yi say solemnly, knowing that it must be something very important, he muttered for a while and said, "In this way, I will let people go over tomorrow to get it." ”

When Tang Yi returned to the box, Chen Ke and the little girl were talking lively, and Zhang Ziqiang was still standing respectfully, waiting for him to come back.

Tang Yi thought that he still had to sort out the source code and remove some functions and subroutines that were obviously ahead of his time, and said to Chen Fangyuan: "Uncle Chen, I still have some things to do today, so I'll go first." ”

patted Zhang Ziqiang on the shoulder again: "Good performance, work hard." ”

Zhang Ziqiang immediately felt that the bones in his body were a few taels lighter, and said yes with a smile.

Tang Yi looked at the little girl again, frowned and said to Chen Ke: "Take her to China Merchants Bureau to find Li An tomorrow, just say what I said, temporarily arrange to enter the tour guide class, go back and contact the North Korean side, and see how to solve her problem." ”

Chen Ke frowned when he heard this, and said with some worry: "Then, isn't that going to send her back?" I heard that the repatriated smugglers were miserable. ”

What can Tang Yi say in this position, not to mention in front of Zhang Ziqiang, "I will communicate with the North Korean side, you don't care." ”

Chen Ke was full of confidence in Tang Yi, and he didn't believe that he would push the little girl into the fire pit, although he was reluctant, he still nodded his little head.

…… In the afternoon, Tang Yi took Bao'er's hand and wandered around the Wanbao supermarket, ready to buy a gift for Ning Xiaomei, Chen Fangyuan is obviously very business-minded, there is a "Yanshan specialty" area on the first floor of the supermarket, I think that with the increase of tourists, this area will definitely become popular, Tang Yi is also thinking about picking a gift that is a little new.

Although the middle of August is the hottest time of summer, but the supermarket is quite cool, the air conditioner is blowing, Chen Fangyuan is very willing to use money, although the new city has just been completed, and there are not many residents in a few newly built communities, so that his supermarket business is not very good, but he knows that to create a comfortable shopping environment must start from the basics, to win the reputation of customers as soon as possible, even if you lose money, you have to make a shout first.

Tang Yi took Bao'er by the hand, but remembered the little girl of the Korean ethnic group, he handed it over to Li An for placement, but the words vaguely signaled Li An not to send the little girl back, as for what Li An did is his business, of course, this matter must be handed over to the people below, Li An is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

Bao'er grabbed a few bags of snacks in her other hand, her smart eyes swept around the shelves, and when she saw something she liked, she stopped and didn't say she wanted it, which made Tang Yi cry and laugh, but the little girl no longer has the habit of pouting her fingers, which is finally a big improvement.

Tang Yi took Bao'er's hand and entered the special product area, where most of the shelves were Yanshan snacks and local products. Tang Yi was not interested, and went directly to the handicraft counter, where there were a dazzling array of handicrafts, all of which were made by the mountain people themselves, such as root carving, eggshell painting, and some jade products, half-new and not old, and I don't know where Chen Fangyuan got them from.

There are a lot of goods, but Tang Yi is not eye-catching, I was about to take Bao'er out, but I saw Bao'er put the snack bag in her hand on the counter, and turned out a small wallet from the small cloth pocket in front of the lace skirt, the wallet was folded with the cover of a colorful magazine, a very beautiful paper wallet, it was folded by Sister Lan, seeing the paper wallet, Tang Yi smiled, Sister Lan still has this craft, and then there was a flash of inspiration, and she had the idea of giving gifts.

Seeing Bao'er rummaging through her wallet and counting the corner tickets from it, Tang Yi smiled and said, "What are you doing?" Our baby is not enough? ”

Bao'er pointed to the clay figure on the counter and said, "Bao'er wants to buy this child." "It was a little girl with a clay sculpture, lifelike, very cute, and the price was two yuan.

Bao'er wrinkled her little face as she counted the dime tickets, Tang Yi looked at her counting over and over again, as if most of the money was enough, Tang Yi could see clearly, Bao'er only had a triangular coin.

"Bao'er, uncle will buy it for you." I was a little surprised in my heart, Bao'er also knew that she was polite to herself? How do you get your own money to buy toys?

Bao'er shook her little head: "No, I want to buy it with the money I saved." But, why did Bao'er save eight cents? The circles under his eyes were a little red, as if he was going to cry, but Tang Yi almost fell on his heels, he was almost nine years old, and he couldn't count the money.

"Uncle bought you something different?" Seeing that Bao'er was about to cry, Tang Yi hurriedly comforted her.

"It's different, Bao'er wants to give Xiaoya a gift, Xiaoya said that the gift she buys with her own money is meaningful."

Seeing Bao'er biting her lip and looking pitiful, Tang Yi was distressed, but he didn't expect to take Bao'er to play with Xiaoya a few times, the two little girls really became good friends, and Xiaoya still had a great influence on Bao'er.

Tang Yi scratched his head and had an idea: "In that case, how about your uncle kissing you and giving you five yuan at a time?" That's how much money you make! After saying that, I felt a little awkward in my heart, what a mess, fortunately there was no word to blame uncle in this era, otherwise those salespeople would not think they were strange uncles.

Bao'er frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head, "It's not good, Bao'er has grown up, my mother said that when Bao'er grows up, men are not allowed to kiss me, and I am not allowed to kiss my uncle casually." ”

Tang Yi was so angry that he smoked, and said in his heart that Sister Lan was idle every day, and it was really impossible for Sister Lan to be idle every day, and he talked about growing up with Bao'er when he was older? I don't know how she educates her children, it will make Bao'er precocious.

Tang Yi said helplessly: "Then I'll play your braincase, five pieces at a time." ”

Bao'er was so frightened that she immediately covered her head, and took two steps back with a bitter little face, it seemed that Tang Yi's bursting chestnut had left a shadow on her.

But after a while, Bao'er put down her little hand again, put her little head pitifully in front of Tang Yi, and said, "You can play." ”

Tang Yi smiled, stretched out his finger and gently touched her little head, then took out his wallet and took the money.

bought the little clay figurine, looked at the salesman packaging, Bao'er smiled and stretched out her arm to Tang Yi to hug, Tang Yi had to squat down and let her hug her neck, Bao'er kissed Tang Yi the face, and whispered: "Mom said that Bao'er can kiss the person she likes." ”

Tang Yi almost sat on the ground, laughing and touching her little head, stood up, and watched Bao'er carefully put the rest of the money into her small purse, and couldn't help but twist her little face funny.

"Bao'er, let's go home and find my mother to teach me origami, in a few days, it's my girlfriend who gave birth to ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, looked at Bao'er, and felt sad in his heart. You, you don't understand jealousy.

Bao'er blinked her big smart eyes: "Uncle's girlfriend? Is she Boa's godmother? ”

Tang Yi shook his head, alas, all the things in the previous life, just go with the wind.

"Bao'er still remembers your godmother?" Tang Yi sighed and gently took Bao'er's hand.

"Yes, my godmother is so beautiful, Bao'er wants to kiss her, but Bao'er doesn't dare." Bao'er lowered her little head in annoyance.

Amused by Bao'er, Tang Yi touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't say you don't dare, I see, even a person doesn't dare to kiss her." ”

At this time, Bao'er took out the small purse again and said, "I want to buy a birthday gift for my godmother, so that my godmother likes Bao'er." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Cheng, Bao'er is really a good child, she will like you." ”

Bao'er chose an eggshell with a strange face painted on Ning Xiaomei, Tang Yi couldn't help laughing, and said that it was strange for her to see this eggshell like you, but she still asked the salesperson to wrap it and solemnly put it away, after all, it was Bao'er's heart.

Holding Bao'er's hand and walking out of the specialty area, Tang Yi took a shopping basket and began to take Bao'er to the food area.

Tang Yi smiled: "Bao'er, that's enough, it's enough for you to eat for a month." Bao'er nodded obediently, but pointed to the drink area not far away.

Tang Yi shook his head helplessly.

"Don ...... Elder brother? There was a girl's hesitant voice behind her, Tang Yi turned around, and behind him were two tall girls, both of whom were very beautiful, and it was Lili, Li Hongna's friend.

Tang Yi smiled: "It's you, you're back from the provincial capital?" ”

Lily nodded, looked at Bao'er and smiled, "What a beautiful little girl." ”

Bao'er bowed obediently: "Hello two sisters." ”

The girl next to Lily smiled: "The little girl is really good at talking, and her sister is happy to listen to it." ”

Tang Yi smiled: "Each is called his own, this is my girlfriend's goddaughter." ”

Lily sighed, then laughed, "I don't know which sister is so lucky." ”

Tang Yi shook his head, not knowing whether it was lucky or unlucky.

"Brother, I'll get it for you." Lily saw that the basket in Tang Yi's hand was very heavy, and she was busy picking it up, which caused the female companion next to her to be surprised, how could a girl help a man take things and be courteous, Lily was originally quite reserved.

Tang Yi smiled and said no, and asked Bao'er, "What to drink?" "Actually, I just want to be separated from Lily.

Lily's female companion smiled and said, "We just want to have a drink, let's go together." It made Tang Yi depressed for a while.

The four of them came to the casual drink area, and Lily asked for three glasses of Coke, but there was no tea here, so she had to ask Tang Yi for a glass of juice.

After chatting a few words, Tang Yi learned that Lily's female companion worked in CCB, named Liu Lei, a very talkative girl.

Lily drank Coke and said with some dissatisfaction: "The salesperson is too good?" Let's just ask for a few Cokes and ignore them. It's really a big bully. ”

Tang Yi smiled: "This is also a matter of no way,"

Liu Lei sneered: "The shopkeeper bullies? Don't look at Wanbao is very hot now, maybe it will fall in a few days! ”

Lily sneered: "As long as you have a lot of news, I haven't seen a single accurate." ”

Liu Lei's eyes widened and said, "This time it's true." Looking around, he lowered his voice and said: "Tell you, don't spread the word, our president is in trouble, someone from the city bank is coming to check the accounts, Wanbao's Chen Fangyuan is close to our president, I don't believe that his loan is not boring." ”

Tang Yi's heart moved when she heard this, and she asked a few more words, but Liu Lei couldn't speak clearly, it seemed that she didn't know much about the market, but she was afraid that it was hearsay.

But Tang Yi knows that the so-called no wind and no waves, a lot of gossip is actually somewhat based.

Just thinking about this, the mobile phone in the bag suddenly rang, and under Liu Lei's surprised gaze, he picked up the phone, it was the second uncle, and he hurriedly walked to a secluded corner.

"Xiaoyi, where did you get that information?" Tang Wandong's voice was very solemn.

Tang Yi had already thought of a countermeasure and said: "A friend of mine gave it to me, he is a computer enthusiast, and he tinkers with it casually, some things are just imagination, and I don't know if it's useful." ”

Tang Wandong asked, "What about your friend?" ”

Tang Yi said: "I've immigrated, what's the matter, what's wrong with him?" ”

"Can you find him, then?"

Tang Yi thought for a while: "It's difficult, he likes to wander around, it's really hard to find." ”

Tang Wandong sighed: "That's the case, there are some things I want to ask your friend for, forget it, forget it if you can't find it, but Xiaoyi, your friend is a talent, if you have the opportunity to meet him, you must persuade him to return to China." ”

Tang Yi said yes, and said with a smile: "I actually participated in the source code, and I gave him a lot of opinions, so maybe I can help if there are any problems." ”

Tang Wandong was surprised: "Really? When did you become interested in computers? Then he smiled again: "It's the time of the party school, look at me, this second uncle is a little unqualified, what do you like, what do you know, the second uncle doesn't know." He sighed.

Tang Yi said: "I secretly tinkered, and no one dared to tell me, for fear that you would scold me for not doing my job." ”

Tang Wandong laughed: "Xiaoyi, it's very good that you don't do your job, since you have a part in participating, I can rest assured, our Tang family has talents, I think, you will be the one who will take over the old man's class in the future, haha!" ”

He also said: "In this way, the details will be discussed when we return to Yanjing, you should prepare first, several computer experts on the military side want to meet the code author." ”

Tang Yi hung up the phone, but his heart was sunny, his wild way is actually far from the level of others, although these experts have the limitations of the times after all, but they also have to work hard, don't be embarrassed when the time comes.
