On the other end of the phone, Qin Tieshan said: "That's the case, it's my sixtieth birthday in a few days, and I'm going to hold a birthday banquet this Sunday, first, to celebrate my birthday, and secondly, I just retired not long ago, so I don't have to work for the country anymore after the celebration." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Are you free to come that day? ”

Yun Cong said: "Then I must come to celebrate my birthday, is it in Xing'anling Province?" ”

The division of provinces in China in this world is different from that of the previous life, and Xing'anling Province is the province where Yun Cong's troops on the border are located, that is, Qin Tieshan's troops, so Yun Cong has this question.

Qin Tieshan said: "No, in Jiangcheng. I just told you, I'm retired, so I'm back in my hometown, and my hometown is also in the East China Sea. ”

Donghai is a very large city, and Jiangcheng is also one of the satellite cities of Donghai.

"And where exactly?" Yun Cong asked again.

"So, I'll send a car to pick you up on Sunday morning." Qin Tieshan said.

It seems that Qin Tieshan not only has his phone number, but even the location where he lives is clear. However, Yun Cong was not surprised in his heart, this was not a difficult thing for Qin Tieshan.

"Then there will be labor." Yun Cong said.

"By the way, are you married?" Qin Tieshan asked suddenly, making Yun Cong slightly stunned, thinking to himself why this old man was asking this.

"Not yet." Yun Cong said.

"That's good, haha, it just so happens that I also have many excellent unmarried girls here, and I will introduce them to you when the time comes!" Qin Tieshan said with a smile.

Yun Cong thought to himself: "It turns out that this old man is going to give his girlfriend, he is not going to introduce his daughter to me." ”

Whether Qin Tieshan has a daughter or not, Yun Cong is not clear. But he knew that with Qin Tieshan's appearance, the daughter born would definitely not be good. If Qin Tieshan really introduced his daughter to him, then he could only politely refuse.

The two talked a few more words and ended the call.

Life at work is good, and a week passes quickly. On the weekend, Yun Cong was going to celebrate Qin Tieshan's birthday. But before that, he had to be a guest at another person's house.

Here's the thing, when she was at work on Friday, Zhang Ying quietly pulled Yun Cong to the side, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyun, tomorrow at noon, I have prepared some wine and food at home, and I want to invite you to my house for dinner, which is to thank you for your help to me and my daughter that day, I don't know if you are free?" ”

After the events of that day, Zhang Ying was quite polite to Yun Cong, and usually smiled and said hello when they met. Of course, she used to greet Yun Cong with a smile, but it was all polite, unlike the smile that came later, it was sincere and heartfelt, and it was very beautiful!

Yun has never repaid his kindness, and it is very comfortable to receive such a beautiful smile. He excused himself and said, "Sister Zhang, there's no need for this, it's just a gesture." And it's not easy at home either, so don't break the bank. ”

Zhang Ying said: "It's just a homely meal, it doesn't cost a few dollars, and it's mainly to show your heart." Otherwise, I really don't want to go. Seeing that Yuncong was still hesitating, she said again, "My daughter also wants you to come to our house!" ”

Yun Cong thought to himself: "It's good to go to her house and find out about the situation." If there's anything else you need help with, I'm here to help. So he agreed.

At around eleven o'clock the next day, Yun Cong called Zhang Ying after getting off the train at a station near her home as Zhang Ying said. After a while, Zhang Ying came. The beautiful young woman was still dressed simply, with a moon-white long-sleeved shirt and beige trousers. The dress fits well, not as wide as the overalls she cleans, and it outlines her plump and delicate body well.

"Xiaoyun, go this way."

Yun Cong followed Zhang Ying, turned around, and came to an old dilapidated small building. The small building has a total of six floors, Zhang Ying's house is on the fourth floor, after Yun Cong followed Zhang Ying into the door, Zhang Ying's daughter greeted him crisply: "Hello Uncle Yun!" ”

Yun Cong was just about to say hello to the other party, only to realize that he didn't know her name, so he said, "Hello! I don't know your name yet! ”

Zhang Ying's daughter did not have the shyness of ordinary children, and said generously: "My name is Du Yuping, my nickname is Ping'er, and my uncle just calls me Ping'er." ”

Then, she brought a small stool and said to Yun Cong, "Uncle sit." ”

What a well-behaved child! Yun Cong couldn't help but praise: "Ping'er is so good!" ”

Zhang Ying smiled: "Ping'er will sit with her uncle for a while, and her mother will go to the kitchen to cook." With that, he turned and walked into the kitchen.

Zhang Ying's family is very small, with only one room and one kitchen, a total of more than a dozen square meters. This room is both a dining room and a bedroom, a double bed is placed next to the corner by the window, the table is next to the bed, there is an old-fashioned lamp on it, and there is a book, obviously Ping'er is sitting on the bed just now studying, and on the other wall is a row of large cabinets that are so old that the paint is peeling, on the left side of the cabinet is a closed cabinet, which should be a place to put clothes, and on the right is an open shelf, where Ping'er's school bag, books and some miscellaneous items are placed. Because the room is small, it seems to be full of things, but it is very clean and tidy, not cluttered, and it is obviously cleaned by Zhang Ying or Ping'er. There was no TV in the room, and the only appliance was the old-fashioned lamp on the table.

Yun Cong knew that Zhang Ying's family was very poor, but he didn't expect it to be so poor, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart: "It's only a few stops from here to Biyun Building." However, who would have thought that in the bustling city of Donghai, there are high-profile office buildings on one side and poor shantytowns on the other? ”

He turned his head and saw that Ping'er was looking at him with wide eyes and curiosity, so he asked, "Are you in the Olympiad class now?" ”

Ping'er said happily: "After my uncle gave me the money, I entered the Olympiad class the next day." She said as she turned to pick up the book on the table, "This is the Olympiad textbook." ”

"Can you learn it?" Yun Cong asked.

"I can learn! I used to be able to understand most of the time when I stood outside the classroom, but now I can understand all of them. Ping'er straightened her small chest and said with a little pride.

"Ping'er is amazing!" Yun Cong praised with a smile. In his previous and present lives, he was a man in two lives, and he didn't study well, and he still admires people who study well, even if the other party is much younger than him.

Then he asked, "What about your father?" Didn't I live with you? ”

There is only one bed here, and it is obvious that Ping'er and Zhang Ying are sleeping together, and it is impossible for Ping'er's father to live together.

Ping'er pouted and said, "My father is dead." ”

"It seems that the mother and daughter are so embarrassed, most of which is the reason, otherwise whose husband would be willing to let such a beautiful wife and such a lovely daughter suffer." Yun thought to himself.

Even so, he didn't bother to ask, and said, "What school are you studying?" ”

"I studied at Red Star Elementary School." Ping'er replied.

Red Star Primary School is the primary school that Yun Cong studied back then. He was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we were still alumni, and my uncle was also studying there back then." ”

Then he thought that Hongxing Primary School was also a few stops away from Biyun Building, and it was estimated that it would take about forty minutes to walk, and Ping'er went to the company to find her mother that day, most of them on foot.

Looking at Ping'er's thin body, he felt a little uncomfortable, took out two hundred-yuan bills, handed them over, and whispered: "Take it, buy some to eat if you want to eat." ”

Ping'er looked at the money, a little tempted, thought about it and shook her head and said, "I can't ask for it." ”

Yun Cong said softly: "What can't you want, didn't your uncle just give your mother a thousand yuan that day." Put it away, and don't let your mom see it. ”

The child is so coaxing, maybe Ping'er really wants the money, and she finally accepted it.
