Chapter 100: The Last Joint

Years of housewife life have made Xu Manyun accustomed to the days of firewood, rice, oil, salt, ginger vinegar and tea every day, and the dream has long faded, although there will be some regrets when I think about it occasionally, but isn't life like this?

Xu Manyun planned to give up this opportunity, but she couldn't screw Song Junhui's persistent urging, and Mingxu was also sensible since she was a child, so she could rest assured. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So Xu Manyun, who hasn't seen his parents for two years, plans to go out for a walk, even if it is to visit relatives and travel, if he is homesick, he will come back at any time, so that Lao Song will not say anything.

Early in the morning, Mingxu's family of three came to the waiting room of the station, and Xu Manyun was still chattering reluctantly: "Mingxu, studying in high school will be more intense, so you can't relax, complete the class schedule I gave you during the summer vacation, these are all exercises that will help you adapt to the high school curriculum...... I'm not at home, your father's food problem will be handed over to you, he has a bad stomach, you have to take care of the diet, and the medicine can't be stopped...... And you are in school, I asked your homeroom teacher yesterday, you and Ziqing are childhood sweethearts, but after all, you are still young, and the problem of scale ......"

"Mom......"

"Manyun ......"

"What's the matter, I haven't left yet, are you two going to rebel!" Seeing the impatient two, Xu Manyun ignored the gazes of passers-by and turned his face directly.

The separation picture of a family of three is "stable" in the roar of Xu's mother......

"Sending you to school?"

"No, send me home, I'm a little tired from the exam in the past two days, and I want to go back to rest and rest." Ming Xu replied with low interest.

"You, you seem to be smart and sensible, but you are too unsociable, so you will suffer when you get out of campus and enter society."

"Hey...... No, it won't. ”

After the end of the high school entrance examination, the school organized a gathering of teachers and students, and Mingxu asked Ziqing to help ask for leave on the grounds of sending Xu Manyun. It's not that Mingxu doesn't have feelings for the school, it's just that there are more important things for him to deal with today......

Seeing off Xu Manyun, Song Junhui rushed to work without getting out of the car after sending Mingxu home.

Back at home, the originally spacious living room seemed extremely empty at this time, and an inexplicable sadness arose. Before Xu Manyun left, Ming Xu had always thought that he would not be affected by this short separation in his heart, but when the nagging woman really left, Ming Xu realized how vulnerable he was now.

Habitually scratching my hair, I looked up at the wall clock, the time was around half past eight, not far from the joint time, if you take the bus, you should be able to arrive about half an hour in advance.

Soon after he left, such a big incident happened in the Octagon Hutong, and I don't know if he noticed it. Probably not, under the strict control of the police, there is no reason to receive the news in his identity. Mingxu went back to the room and did a simple make-up, locked the door and set off......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Professor Du, it's early!"

"Professor Du, good morning."

"Good morning." Du Xin didn't say yes and hurried by.

"Early in the morning, where is Lao Du going?"

"It's rude, whatever......"

…………

Du Xin, a double degree in industrial design and mechanical and electronic engineering, graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 72, with a strong patriotic feeling, he refused the warm invitation of many groups after graduation, and resolutely chose to return to the motherland to contribute to the construction of his hometown.

After returning to China, Du Xin successfully joined the aircraft carrier design team with his excellent knowledge and became the core designer of the group. However, the good times did not last long, and he had long been accustomed to the colorful life there after living abroad for many years, although his treatment was enough to make many people envious, it was still far from being compared with foreign countries.

After a few years, he was tired of this endless monotonous life, but at this time he had already participated in too many secret experiments, and it was naturally impossible to go abroad.

Helpless, he could only force himself to get used to the monotonous life, the crowded environment, and the boring experiments...... They are even accustomed to all organizational arrangements - including marriage.

There is almost no affection between Du Xin and his wife, Du Xin's wife's education level is less than high school, but in terms of domestic education at that time, she can be regarded as half an intellectual. Despite this, the husband and wife do not have the slightest common language at all, and they are married only to cope with the organization and their parents, and they choose her only because she looks less earthy.

Married life is still boring, his wife was seriously ill during pregnancy, and finally died in childbirth, and Du Xin was not touched. The only thing that can ignite Du Xin's hope is that his wife gave birth to a smart and beautiful daughter for him, and Du Xin's life has become busy and rich since then......

In the early 90s, the country's reform and opening up matured, but the crowded environment still made Du Xin feel depressed, and he could not allow his daughter to live in such a city. After her daughter graduated from high school, Du Xin sent her daughter abroad through a relationship......

Two years later, a thunderbolt came on a sunny day, and my daughter left school without the consent of the school for half a month. Just as he received the news and wanted to take measures, a letter quietly sneaked into the door of his house and quietly placed it on Du Xin's desk.

Opening the envelope, Du Xin recognized at a glance that Juanxiu's handwriting on the paper was indeed from his daughter: Dad, help me, they said they wanted to ask you for help......

After reading the letter, Du Xin immediately applied to view the monitoring on the grounds that his family's finances were lost, but the monitoring screen showed that everything was normal. Returning home like a lost soul, thinking of what was about to happen to his daughter, Du Xin's heart was like a knife.

…………

Three years of working for them, three years of pain and torture, anxiety, guilt, and apprehension, day and night are worried, Du Xin has to take a lot of sleeping pills every night in the past three years to fall asleep. The only consolation is that every month Du Xin will receive letters and photos from his daughter, today is the last transaction, after this completion of the other party will arrange for himself to leave the country and reunite with his daughter there.

Du Xin is not afraid that the other party will not keep his promises, and if he does not mention his ability, no matter where he goes, he will be taken seriously. From the information in your own hands alone, it is almost impossible for the other party to unravel it without yourself.

“…… As long as my daughter is okay, other things can only be seen on foot. Du Xin, who was secretly thinking in his heart, had already come to the booking café.

Look at the time, there are still ten minutes before nine o'clock in the morning, the other party should arrive immediately, call the waiter to order a cup of coffee casually, and taste the coffee "comfortably", Du Xin took out today's newspaper from his briefcase.

"Compared with the first joint, I am so familiar with the road at this time." Du Xin smiled self-deprecatingly, relieved the tension in his heart, and spread out the newspaper casually, and a subheadline that was not eye-catching caught his attention......

A shocking case is suspected of happening in Octagonal Hutong!

"Near No. 9 Middle School, due to the staggering of several large factories and the walls of No. 9 Middle School, a small alley with complex terrain has been formed, which is commonly known as 'Octagonal Hutong', and Octagonal Hutong has been a security blind spot in Tianhai City in recent years. Last year's student hijacking of a teacher had just passed, and this year's high school entrance examination had another incident. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when our reporter Ren Yuhang visited No. 9 Middle School, he happened to meet a team of armed police, and with curiosity, Ren Yuhang conducted a random visit to this group of armed police, but was severely stopped by the other party. ”

“…… The refusal of the armed police to visit attracted Ren Yuhang's attention. On the same day, our reporter Ren Yuhang made a secret visit to the Octagon Hutong, and according to local residents, on the evening of the second day of the high school entrance examination, there were two noises in the depths of the Bajiao Hutong, and some veterans claimed that the sound coming from inside was actually gunshots! ”

“…… And that night, a large number of police cars stopped near Octagon Hutong. Early the next morning, the armed forces appeared in the octagonal alley......"

"According to our reporter's understanding, there were never so many armed police officers in the case of students kidnapping teachers last year. So what is the case this time......"

"We should think deeply, what caused the formation and construction of the Octagonal Hutong? Or education? Is it that the pace of society is too fast, and the education system cannot keep up with the pace of the commercial and industrial systems, which leads to frequent accidents here? Or it is difficult for laid-off workers to find employment......"

The second day of the high school entrance examination, that is, the day before yesterday...... The day you and the other meet!

Du Xin stretched out his hand and looked at the time, it was already nine and four minutes, and the other party had never been late for even a second in the past three years. So......

"Sir, are you waiting for someone?" A thin young man walked over and took the initiative to talk.

Du Xin: "Huh? No, I just come and sit in the morning if I have nothing to do. ”

"Oh, can I do that then?"

It's nine o'clock in the morning, and the café is full of empty seats, what is the purpose of this person touching himself?

He had said that if he didn't make it to the junction on time, he had to leave the scene immediately and not contact any strangers until his daughter's next letter arrived.

Thinking of this, Du Xin ignored the strange man who had already sat down and got up to leave......
