Chapter 1 All the way to the west

June 30, 1981, is an ordinary day on the calendar.

Outside the National People's Congress, another branch of Yanhuang Restaurant has just opened, and the flower basket at the door is still there.

Tomorrow is the day when everyone breaks up. The people in the dormitory made an appointment to have a casual meal together. At Wushan's suggestion, everyone who has family members should try to bring their families over. At this time, the large round table was not enough, so I had to put two square tables together.

"These days, everybody's busy. I was busy saying goodbye to my fellow countrymen, and I was busy talking to my younger brothers and sisters in the lower grades. Wu Shan smiled, but the smile was very bitter.

After all, after today, everyone will be separated. The next time the brothers in the dormitory meet, I don't know when it will be.

"I'm not the biggest in the dormitory, so I shouldn't be talking about that." How can a person be ruthless if he is not a sage? Wu Shan turned his head to wipe away his tears: "Let's introduce them in order of age." ”

"I went back to work in the Jinmen City Transportation Bureau, which can be regarded as a professional counterpart, and the position is tentatively designated as the deputy director of the sub-bureau. Four years later, my son is in junior high school. Zhou Jun took the lead: "This is my precious son Zhou Jiaquan." ”

The little boy was very smart, and as soon as he got on the table, he began to look at the people at the table, and he was not afraid of people at all.

Hearing his father introduce himself, he quickly stood up and bowed: "Hello uncles and aunts, my mother's name is Wu Xumei, and I helped my father introduce me." ”

As soon as the little guy finished the introduction, everyone burst into laughter and disappeared. The sister-in-law and the eldest both stroked the child's head lovingly.

"Jiaquan, I am your Uncle Wushan, this fountain pen is given to you, I hope you will study hard in the future." Wu Shan took out the pen from his pocket: "This is my uncle's trophy on the battlefield of Treasure Island, shhh, don't say it." ”

"Battlefield?" The little guy's eyes suddenly widened: "Uncle." Are you the PLA? ”

Wu Shan smiled silently and nodded at the child. Zhou Jiaquan didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the pen and he didn't move.

"Okay, Xiaoshan," Zhu Jianguo was dissatisfied: "I have shirked to you several times, actually"

Yo, I can't talk about this anymore, I'm always embarrassed to compete with juniors for gifts.

The eldest and sister-in-law prevaricated, and knew that this gift was more important in terms of value and significance.

Seeing that Wushan insisted on sending it, he patted the child's head and said, "Don't you say thank you to Uncle Wu?" ”

The little boy himself admired the People's Liberation Army, and when he heard Wushan's words, he wanted to hold the pen tightly in his hand. After listening to your parents. The speed was so fast, I didn't know where Lu Dao was hiding in the blink of an eye, and said thank you sweetly.

"Alas, after being the second child for four years, I am happiest today." Li Ai said humorously: "Finally, I don't have to hear the seven of you call me the second child all day long." I've long been tired of it. After saying this, there was another burst of laughter.

Zhou Jun is the most exaggerated. Tears burst into laughter.

"I'm in a similar situation with the boss. I could have stayed in Beijing, but I still wanted to return to my hometown. Li Ai waited for everyone to finish laughing, and then said: "The destination has also been decided, and I will be the deputy director of the Construction Committee." This is my lover, Hu Yuanqiu. This is our precious daughter. Li Yijia is six years old this year. ”

"Girl, my uncle has prepared a gift for you today." Wu Shan clapped his hands, and the waiter immediately took out a beautiful schoolbag and a yellow princess dress from the corner.

Xiao Yijia saw the exquisite cartoon Mickey Mouse and the beige dress. took it and didn't forget to say thank you.

Zhou Jiaquan saw the gift of his little sister, and there was obviously a look of jealousy in his eyes.

Wu Shan smiled: "Come, eldest son, yours too, little uncle just wants to see your reaction." ”

After speaking, let the waiter bring him the prepared backpack and handsome Yanhuang dress.

"It's my turn," the third Song Liming is obviously much more active than a few years ago: "I'm staying in Beijing." This is my object, Liu Qinglan. Brothers, don't laugh at me, I stayed because of Qinglan. I have also decided where I want to go, and I will go to the budget department of the Ministry of Communications as a chief clerk. ”

Song Liming hesitated, but added: "During this year's National Day holiday, we will get married." I'm going to come when the time comes. ”

"A must. Originally, it was not decided before the most difficult time, but when the time came, Xiaoshan and Wang Lu, me and Lan Lan would also hold a wedding together, so as not to toss back and forth. Zhu Jianguo didn't wait for others to speak: "The round-trip air ticket and accommodation have been reported, and I will be responsible for sending you an official letter when the time comes, so that you can buy a ticket." ”

Before Wushan could speak, Wang Lu glanced at Zhu Jianguo: "No problem, our Wushan is all inclusive." ”

Xiao Nizi has been with Wushan for a long time, and naturally knows his net worth. It's just a matter of knowing the way, this stupid girl has no concept of money. Wu Shan naturally couldn't save face, and nodded next to him and said yes.

"It's my turn," Tian Youkang pulled out the girl hiding in his arms next to him: "This is my girlfriend Xu Qing, my fellow countryman, a junior at Beijing Normal University." I also stayed in Beijing as the branch director of the Dongcheng District Supply and Marketing Cooperative. ”

"I'll go back to Bingcheng and go to Jindu County to serve as the political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces." Fu Kezheng was as concise as ever: "This is my daughter-in-law in the countryside, Du Xiaohong." ”

"Everyone knows that I am Wang Yilan, what I just said. I went to the Personnel Department of the Ministry of Railways as a chief clerk, and Lan Lan went to the Propaganda and Education Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department as an officer. Zhu Jianguo patted his chest: "I didn't say it, brothers, come to Beijing to find me." If anyone comes and doesn't look for me, don't blame me for making trouble for you. ”

"Finally it's my turn," Wang forced himself to wait, "I'm ready to continue studying, Professor Huang's graduate student." All of a sudden, I feel so lonely, you're all gone. ”

"Hey, Seven, you're wrong." Wu Shan immediately took over the conversation: "Everyone is very happy, don't talk about these sad topics." It seems that the farthest I have gone, Hoa Feng County, Victoria, is tentatively in charge there. Lulu also wanted to continue studying, but she was studying for a master's degree and a doctorate in politics at Beijing Normal University. ”

Everyone took a breath of cool air, and even Fu Kezheng, who was currently in the highest position, suddenly compared. Although it's remote, it's right to graduate from Level 1, isn't it?

"What, brothers, aren't you convinced?" Zhu Jianguo immediately jumped out: "Our family Xiaoshan was a brigade commander before entering the school. ”

This time they collectively lost their voices, and only Xiao Jiaquan and Yijia looked at Wushan with adoring eyes. In the eyes of children, the PLA will always be glorious and great.

"Brother for a few years, don't you know each other anymore?" Wu Shan smiled indifferently: "Don't forget, we have been brothers all our lives." As brothers. It's my fault that I haven't confessed to everyone all the time. Here are a few Yanhuang consumption cards, which can be free twice a year at any branch in the world, you can take them. ”

Seeing that he didn't take it, Wang Lu disagreed: "Take it all, Yanhuang belongs to his family." ”

The originally intimate friendship between classmates seems to have invisibly widened the distance.

That's not good. In the past few years, Wushan has also seen many cattle people in another time and space.

However, to this day, Wushan does not need to deliberately please anyone. When we meet appropriately. Expressing closeness, the other party was flattered.

"Why are you so surprised?" Wu Shan touched his nose: "Don't you know?" Zhu Jianguo is the grandson of the commander-in-chief, and this girl didn't confess, did he? ”

With the foreshadowing ahead, this time it was not too shocking.

After all, he is only the grandson of Mr. Zhu, not Mr. Zhu himself. The big courtyard students go to college. Which one isn't the most impressive? Even Wang Lu's father, Wang Tiecheng, is also the boss's comrade-in-arms.

Wu Shan's words. All of a sudden, the atmosphere was relaxed: "Just like my comrades-in-arms in the army." When we met, we were all strong brothers. Now, I'm in a better situation than everyone else. Each person gets 20,000 yuan for settling-in expenses, and for marriage or something, each person gets another 10,000 yuan. ”

Seeing that Zhou Jun was about to open his mouth, Wushan stopped him: "Don't want to." That brother didn't have to do it. ”

10,000 yuan can buy a very good house in Jingshi, which is indeed quite valuable.

What's more, Wushan has helped everyone buy a courtyard before, and now they are paying a settlement fee.

"Everyone rest assured, this has nothing to do with Yan Huang's money. This is my own manuscript fee. Wu Shan took a sip of Yanhuang wine pleasantly.

It was produced on an estate acquired in France two years ago.

It's good to have money, there are not many places to spend money in Wushan, and today I have experienced the feeling of a local tyrant. "I forgot to tell you that the five novels of Xun Qin, Zhu Xian, The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Devouring the Starry Sky, and Covering the Sky were all written by me."

At this moment, they were all shocked beyond measure. Even Wang Lu, Zhu Jianguo, and Wang Yilan were stunned.

Of course, Wang Lu's little girl is more proud: this is the man I want.

The casual meal is the most enjoyable in recent years, but it is also the most tangled.

Rhaef County is located in the northwest of Victoria Province, more than 200 kilometers north of the Kolamai oil field and more than 300 kilometers south of Oulothai. Here, to the north, the Soviet Union borders.

Hefeng is the name of the Chinese language, and the Mongolian language is Hebuxel, which means the place where the sika deer haunt. The name of the county is derived from the Brook River and the Sayre Mountain. "Hebuke" is a Mongolian language, which is "sika deer"; "Cell" means horseback, and the mountain is shaped like a horseback.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, Buxel County was a nomadic land for the ancient ethnic groups such as the Sai people, Wusun, and Xiongnu, and belonged to the Wusun country in the Western Han Dynasty.

During the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the mutual attack and merger of the northern and southern states of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, the county border was included in the Cheshi Hou Kingdom.

During the Jin Dynasty, it was the jurisdiction of Xianbei.

During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it successively belonged to the Rouran Khanate, the Turkic Khanate and the Western Turkic Khanate.

In the second year of Tang Xianqing, the Tang Dynasty pacified the Western Turkic Khanate, and the county border belonged to the Tang Kunling Protectorate.

The Song Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of the Western Liao.

Later, it belonged to the Mengyuan regime of Genghis Khan, and was enclosed as the territory of Genghis Khan's third son, Ogedai Khan, and belonged to the province of Beibali.

During the time of Ming Taizu, it belonged to the Beshin Bali Khanate established by the descendants of Chagatai.

Since ancient times, this has been the sacrosanct territory of our country.

At the beginning, after the immigration policy came out, many people from the Central Plains and Jiangnan moved here. Migrated to the Han people, and did not encounter any twists and turns. Farmers, land is the root of life, and with more land, they are all happy to come.

It itself is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, mainly Mongolian, Han and Kazakh, and composed of 19 ethnic groups such as Uyghur and Tatar. The population here is too small, and there is no need for local minorities to move.

Originally, the population of the entire county was less than 40,000, and after the migration of more than 60,000 Han people, the population of the county was less than 100,000.

Ethnic minorities are mostly nomadic.

Han Chinese, on the other hand, specialize in agricultural production.

Of course, more and more ethnic minorities, because they do not want to live a nomadic life in the grassland, are gradually turning into farmers.

However, it is generally incomplete and belongs to the nature of semi-pastoral and semi-farming.

Unexpectedly, three days before Wushan's graduation, Yang Tailie, the former secretary of the county party committee, died heroically during the inspection.

For a time, this small border county was full of rumors and the situation was very tense.

In this way, a secretary of the county party committee touched the nerves of the central government.

On June 30, by direct order of the central government, Wushan was appointed deputy commissioner of the Altay region and secretary of the Hefeng County Party Committee.

The order was issued, so that the secretary of the prefectural party committee, Cui Daxiang, who was over fifty, was surprised.

In the Oulothai region, the previous commissioner was transferred to the provincial CPPCC due to health reasons.

The Commissioner has been vacant for several months.

Now there is no commissioner, but a deputy commissioner has been parachuted, and the commissioner is concurrently served by Cui Daxiang.

As a veteran soldier of Wu Zhen's army, he then received a statement from the Wu family, and naturally welcomed Wushan, a person from the Wu family.

In this case, as soon as the Wushan meal was finished, he flew directly to Wushi by private airliner.

Without stopping, he took a military helicopter and went directly to Hefeng County, and he didn't even have time to report to the Altai Prefectural Committee. (To be continued......)
