Lin Zhenhua and others stayed at the police station overnight. The next day, the car had been repaired, everyone said goodbye to Lu Zhiqiang, and got in the car and went to Tanzhou, the provincial capital of Xiangping Province.

As soon as she got in the car, He Lan made a fuss about having to sit with Lin Zhenhua, no wonder, the rest of the cars were adults, only Lin Zhenhua had the least age difference with her, and she was the only person she could talk to. Along the way, He Lan asked long and short questions, and chatted with Lin Zhenhua very happily. After all, Lin Zhenhua is from the next generation, and finding a few jokes from the Internet to talk about it is enough to make He Lan laugh. As a result, the more Lin Zhenhua teased He Lan, the more He Lan clinged to him, and finally almost regarded him as an omnipotent confidant big brother.

"Brother Lin, do you know how to recite poems?"

"I will, will you?"

"Of course I will, I will...... Twenty-five poems. ”

"Great, can you recite one to me?"

"Okay, I'm done reciting it, can you also recite it to me?"

"Okay, you can do it first."

"I recite a [***] poem, a sassy and heroic five-foot gun, the dawn shines on the military field, the Chinese sons and daughters have many strange ambitions, they don't love red makeup and love arms."

"Well memorized, well memorized." The surrounding passengers applauded together, this little girl was beautiful, her voice was good, and a poem was recited by everyone.

"Okay, I'm done reciting it, you can recite it to me too." He Lan said.

"Well, I'll recite one too." Lin Zhenhua thought about it and chose a poem from that era and memorized it:

"I'm your old watermill by the river

Hundreds of years have been spinning tired songs

I am the blackened miner's lamp on your forehead

As you grope in the tunnels of history

I am a shriveled ear of rice

It is a roadbed in disrepair

It's a barge on a mudflat

Put the rope deeply

Stranded into your shoulders

- O Motherland! ”

"I think it's so strange that you memorize the poems." He Lan stared at Lin Zhenhua with two big eyes, "I don't seem to understand, but it seems to be very comfortable to listen to." What kind of poem are you memorizing? ”

"This is a hazy poem, comrade, why haven't I heard this one you memorized?" A young passenger sitting behind Lin Zhenhua asked, in that era, there were many young people and few masters, so what poems were popular on the market, young people knew it.

Lin Zhenhua hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't dare to say that it was written by himself, he said sneeringly: "This is Shu Ting's new poem, it seems that it has not been officially published yet, and I have heard it read it before I remember it." ”

"Great, can you recite it again, I didn't record it just now." The young passenger took out his notebook, took out a fountain pen from his jacket pocket and began to record, this benevolent brother has three fountain pens in his jacket pocket, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like a fountain pen repairer.

After Lin Zhenhua finished dealing with the young man, He Haifeng smiled slightly on the side: "Xiaolin, yes, I think your cultural level is not low." ”

"Hehe, in the army...... I also learned something. ”

"Not bad, not bad." He Haifeng said, "When I listen to you recite the poem, the rhythm and intonation are well controlled, which shows that you can fully understand the artistic conception of the poem." It's really nice for a veteran to be able to do that. ”

Lin Zhenhua scratched his head, he didn't understand whether He Haifeng praised himself or belittled himself, but the cultural level of veterans back then was generally not too high, which is also a recognized view in society, He Haifeng said this, it is not excessive. He Haifeng is 20 years older than Lin Zhenhua, and he is actually Lin Zhenhua's elder, and he is qualified to evaluate Lin Zhenhua like this.

Along the way, Yingge and Yan danced, and when the long-distance bus drove into Tanzhou, He Lan could not leave Lin Zhenhua, she tilted her head and asked He Haifeng: "Dad, shall we invite Brother Lin to play at home?" ”

Lin Zhenhua didn't wait for He Haifeng to speak, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I still have something, I have to go back to Jiangnan Province." ”

"No, I want you to go to the house to play." He Lan said coquettishly.

He Haifeng patted He Lan's head and said, "Lan Lan, don't make trouble, Brother Lin has to go home, and we will invite Brother Lin to play in the future." After that, he looked at his watch, frowned and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Xiaolin, the ticket is a little nervous now, and today's train ticket is estimated to be gone." If you're leaving, it's probably going to be tomorrow, or you're really going to live at my house, right? ”

That's what he said, but his heart was not very steady. He only has two rooms at home, and it is really difficult to stay with Lin Zhenhua, so he has to go to the guest house of the unit to help Lin Zhenhua find a bunk.

"No need, no need." Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "I'll go to the train station first, it's really not good, I'll just find a guest house to stay overnight." ”

He Haifeng said: "That's it, I'll accompany you to the train station to have a look." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "No, you've been in the car for two days, Lan Lan is also tired, it's time to go home and rest." ”

"I'm not tired!" He Lan said that as long as she could be with Brother Lin, she would not feel tired.

He Haifeng laughed: "Xiaolin, it's okay, in fact, we are also on the way, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”

At that time, Tanzhou was indeed not very big, as the provincial capital, there were buses. He Haifeng took Lin Zhenhua to the train station by car, and asked at the window, the ticket for the day was really gone, and Lin Zhenhua only bought a ticket for the next day.

"Hehe, you can only stay here for one night now." He Haifeng said, "Let's go, go to my house and sit down, I'll invite you to dinner, and then find you a guest house." ”

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "If it's convenient, you can help me find a guest house." I haven't been to Tanzhou in the past, so it's good to walk around Tanzhou by myself. ”

He Haifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "In this way, I will introduce you to a place, Hongxing Ceramics Factory, which is a subordinate unit of our Light Industry Department." If their hostels were empty, I don't think they would have taken your money. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's okay, thank you Lao He." ”

In those days, blatant [***] was rare, but it was nothing like He Haifeng who used his power to help a friend find a free bunk in the guest house of his subordinate unit. Although it was said that it only cost eight cents to find a guest house to live in, in those days, it was a big face to save eight cents.

So, the three of them got on the bus again and came to the Red Star Ceramics Factory. He Haifeng and He Lan are both natives of Tanzhou and have monthly tickets in their pockets, so they don't need money to take the car, Lin Zhenhua bought a ticket by himself and spent a dime. If living in a guest house can really save eight cents, then Lin Zhenhua is equivalent to saving seven cents. In fact, Lin Zhenhua didn't think there was much significance in saving these seven cents, people from later generations had no concept of this kind of small money, he just wanted to experience the way people thought back then.

"Ouch, where is it long, what wind is blowing you?" As soon as the three of them arrived at the Red Star Ceramics Factory, the factory director You Jianmin greeted him warmly, holding He Haifeng's hand and asking for warmth.

"Lao You, I'm here to trouble you." He Haifeng said, he pointed at Lin Zhenhua and introduced: "This is Xiaolin, Lin Zhenhua, the hero of the self-defense and counterattack." This time, I took Lan Lan home to visit relatives, and I met gangsters on the way, Xiao Lin bravely fought gangsters, and he was Lan Lan's life-saving benefactor. ”

"Welcome, welcome." You Jianmin hurriedly came over to shake hands with Lin Zhenhua.

"Xiaolin wants to go back to Jiangnan Province and bought a train ticket for tomorrow, and I have nowhere to ......stay tonight," He Haifeng said in a long voice.

"Stay in our guest house." You Jianmin reacted very quickly and immediately took it, "I asked the waiter to open a private room, I am the most hero-worshipping person." ”

"Then thank you to Director You." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, of course he knew that You Jianmin's move was completely to save face for He Haifeng, if there was no He Haifeng, he would not be a hero in self-defense and counterattack, even if he was the founding father, Lao You might not know who he was.

"Where is the chief, since you are here, let's go to the small cafeteria for a light meal." You Jianmin pushed the boat down the river and said, "We still have some work, so we just take this opportunity to report to Chief Where." ”

He Haifeng also wanted this effect, when he was in Hongshan Commune, he didn't entertain Lin Zhenhua well, and he always felt a little guilty. This time, I brought Lin Zhenhua to the Red Star Ceramics Factory to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and invite Lin Zhenhua to have a good meal. He was the director of the Light Industry Department, and when he came down to the factory, there was no reason why the factory should not invite him to dinner.
