The province where Xu Ziling is located is called Xinghai Province, and the provincial capital city is called Xingcheng, and the county seat where Xu Ziling's home is located is the provincial capital Xingcheng, a subordinate county seat.

"You know that I took the college entrance examination, right? The school I applied for was in the provincial capital, and if I was admitted, I would have a chance in more than a month. Xu Ziling replied with a grin.

"Really, what school did you go to?" Yang Kaiming asked. Li Cheng also said "um", saying that he also wanted to ask this question.

"Guess what?" Xu Ziling didn't answer, saying that he wanted them to guess.

Yang Kaiming said angrily: "Guess you are a big-headed ghost, Star City is a provincial capital, and there are estimated to be dozens of universities, so the ghost can guess it." Stop grinding and tell us. ”

"It's boring, I can't guess. You see that I like to play with guns so much, and whatever school you think is suitable for me, then I will apply for it. Alas, I'll tell you directly, the National University of Defense Technology in the provincial capital, majoring in weapon automation. ”

"Yo ho, Chengzi, our little brother is really good, isn't it?"

"Well, that's pretty good, National University of Defense Technology, that's the first military school of the Celestial Empire, you also chose the weapon automation major with the highest score requirements, I think it will be easier to get into this school than to take the capital university in the capital, Ziling, are you sure about this?"

"Grasp this thing, say yes, you can also say no, the results will come out tomorrow, and then you will know the way, anyway, I applied for a military school, if I can't take the exam, I'll go to be a soldier, you two just find me a place where I often play with guns."

"Okay, if you really don't pass the test, I'll get you to my dad, anyway, they have to choose some recruits, and with your conditions, you can get in directly to the assessment. There are enough guns there for you to play with, you kid can practice your cāo for a while, and maybe you can join us. Call me when your results are out. ”

"Okay, when the time comes, follow Brother Kaiming and Brother Cheng."

The three of them talked and laughed and arrived at their destination.

The mottled two large iron gates were open there, and there was a wall on both sides of the door, Xu Ziling drove the car in, and along the cement road, came to a three-story small building. Say to both, "This is it." ”

The three people got out of the car, Xu Ziling walked in front and walked to his father's office on the third floor with two people, and as soon as he walked up the stairs, he saw a young man coming down from the upper floor, wearing a hard hat and wearing work clothes. As soon as the young man saw Xu Ziling, he smiled and said, "Ziling, are you looking for your father?" ”

Xu Ziling has a little impression of this young man, surnamed Wang, who usually follows his father to receive customers, and sometimes drives a car, which is equivalent to the corner of a secretary. It's just that he rarely comes to his father's company, so he's not very familiar with it.

"Yes, Brother Wang. My dad is on top of it, isn't he? ”

"No, your dad is going to the back factory, you go to the office to drink saliva first, sit down, I'll call for you, I'm just going to send a document over, come, I'll take you up first." After speaking, he turned around and took Xu Ziling and the three upstairs.

On the third floor, the young man surnamed Wang took out the key to open the office door, invited the three of them to sit on the sofa, and then poured a glass of water for several people.

said to Xu Ziling: "Ziling, you just wait here for a while, I will go and inform Mr. Xu to come over immediately, and I will not accompany you." After speaking, he didn't forget to smile and nodded to Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng to apologize.

"It's okay, thank you, Brother Wang. I have something to do today, so I'll call you to dinner another day. ”

"Okay, as long as you don't have anything to do one day, come to me, I invite you. Okay, you sit down first, and I'll go and inform Mr. Xu. After saying that, he walked out of the door and closed the door gently.

As soon as the young man came out, Yang Kaiming, who had not spoken, spoke: "Your dad is very good here, looking at the outside place, it's quite big." ”

"Yes, the place is really big, and it is more than enough to put a battalion here." Li Cheng said.

"Working with stones, of course, the place should be bigger, this place was bought, about eight years ago, at that time, the land in the countryside was cheap, such a big place, I heard my father say, it only cost tens of thousands of yuan at that time." Xu Ziling explained.

"Such a big place, only tens of thousands of yuan?" Yang Kaiming was stunned when he heard Xu Ziling's words.

Li Cheng also sighed: "It's really cheap, if I was a child, when my father went back to his hometown, he bought such a piece of land here, wouldn't it be sent now, Ziling, you see the town is like this now, it is estimated that this land will be worth millions to say the least." ”

Xu Ziling thought for a while, "It is estimated that it is not bad, in fact, the town has developed in the past two or three years, the geographical location here is good, and the number of people investing here has gradually increased, forming an industrial chain, so there are more people, and the land is valuable." ”

At this time, the door was opened with a "click", and a middle-aged man walked in from outside, wearing a hard hat on his head, wearing gray casual clothes, and a height of one meter seven or eight, similar to Xu Ziling.

"Dad." Xu Ziling saw the man and quickly stood up and shouted.

It turned out that this was Xu Ziling's father, Xu Haoran.

Xu Haoran took off the helmet and hung it on the wall, and asked, "Why did you come here and take the car home?" Seeing Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, he said to Xu Ziling with a little doubt: "This is your friend?" Haven't seen it before? ”

"Come, Dad, let me introduce you." Pointing to Li Cheng, one of the two who stood up when Xu Haoran entered the door, he said, "Li Cheng, the son of Uncle Li Mingwu." ”

"Uncle Xu. Hello, I'm Li Cheng. ”

Xu Haoran grabbed Li Cheng's hand, and pinched Li Cheng's shoulder with the other hand, "Good guy, you have grown so tall, and your body is quite solid." A few days ago, I went to the field, your father called me, saying that you came back from a job, and now you are only returning to your hometown on vacation, I thought I would not see you again when I came back today, but I thought that you were only four or five years old when I saw you, and you were only so tall. He gestured with his hand on his leg.

Li Cheng listened, scratched his head with his hand, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"This, Brother Li Cheng's comrade-in-arms, and now he is a colleague, named Yang Kaiming, from the provincial capital." Xu Ziling pointed to this Yang Kaiming again.

"Uncle Xu, hello, I'm Yang Kaiming."

Xu Haoran also stretched out his hand and patted Yang Kaiming on the shoulder a few times. "Okay, okay, I've also had a gun, so it's kind to see you soldiers."

Xu Ziling said to Li Cheng and Yang Kaiming with a smile: "Don't mind the two of you, my father always likes to take a few pictures when he sees him as a soldier." ”

Xu Haoran pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit, sit down and talk." He took out another box of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to everyone. Several of them were smoking, and they lit each of them, and they started to smoke.

Xu Haoran pointed to Xu Ziling and said to Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng: "My kid, if you want to be a soldier, I don't object to him smoking, but you have to smoke less, smoking too much will affect your lung capacity, and you two should remember to smoke less." ”

Li Cheng replied: "We didn't draw much, we must remember your words, right?" Kaiming. ”

Yang Kaiming replied with a smile and a smile. "yes, yes."

"Oh, by the way, how did the three of you come together?" Xu Haoran asked.

Xu Ziling explained: "I went to Uncle Xu Jiang's shop and happened to run into it. When he said that he went to Xujiang store to deliver wild boars, he met Li Mingwu and met Zhang Kaiming, Li Cheng, and Yang Kaiming, and told Xu Haoran again.

"So, they're waiting for me to eat?"

"yes."

"Then I'll have to arrange it, there are still people pulling goods in the back. Anyway, you kid, now you can do it, this time you beat such a big guy, this is a rare record for your father and me. ”

"You hurry up and make arrangements first, after eating, I will go home, and Brother Cheng and Brother Kai Ming will also go back to the provincial capital. A bit of a rush. Xu Ziling said.

Xu Haoran took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Xu Ziling: "Give me the keys to the pickup truck, you change to my car, you and Xiaocheng, Kaiming will go first, and I will drive the pickup truck over, so as not to send me over again after eating." ”

"That's fine." Xu Ziling took the key. Suddenly remembering that his bag was still on the pickup truck, he took the pickup truck key and reached for his father's hand and retreated.

Xu Haoran looked at his son's hand that had been withdrawn again, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"I can't give it to you yet, I'm still in the pickup truck, let's go down together, change the car and give you the key."

"Let's go down together." Xu Haoran picked up a bag from his desk and said as he walked towards the door.

The four of them went downstairs together and came to the parking place, Xu Ziling took out the bag from the pickup truck and handed the key to Xu Haoran, Xu Haoran took the key and said to a few of them: "You go over first, I'll explain, come over immediately." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Xu Ziling, and walked quickly to the factory area behind the small building.

Xu Ziling carried his bag and said to Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng: "Brothers, let's go, the car is not parked in front of this, here is generally an errand, or often used, where the car is parked soon, the company's employee cars are generally parked there." After speaking, he pointed to a bungalow more than a hundred meters away.

This house was the original office house, and later after the company's business became larger, a small three-story building was built there. The building was converted into a garage from waste.

The three of them walked to the garage, Xu Ziling took out the key, pressed it on the remote control of the key, and a black BMW X6 "Didi" inside screamed twice. I walked to the car, opened the back door, and dropped my bag first.

"Come on. Let's go first. ”

A few people got into the car, Xu Ziling started the car, turned on the air conditioner first, and then slowly drove out of the garage and drove towards the town.

Yang Kaiming laughed, "The treatment when I went back is much better than the treatment when I came." ”

Xu Ziling also smiled, "It can't be compared." The pickup was originally a second-hand car that my dad bought when he had no money, and you also know what my dad's company was, dealing with stones every day, so he often had to go into the mountains or something, and it was strange if it wasn't broken. The air conditioner of the broken car has been repaired several times, and it can't even be repaired until now. That's it, my dad has been driving for many years, this car was only bought at the end of last year, and it is still not a year old, do you think it can be compared? ”
