Chapter 34: Departure

On August 8, 2012, the first batch of 126 recipients of the Xie Scholarship and more than a dozen members of the Xie family gathered at the East Gate Wharf in Chengdu to embark on a journey that changed their lives and the fate of the entire country.

In this era, there was no railway in Sichuan, so Xie Xinyong simply arranged the whole waterway, from Chengdu along the Min River to Leshan and Yibin, and then along the Yangtze River waterway to Shanghai, and then arranged an ocean liner to Germany when he arrived in Shanghai.

For this journey, Xie Xinyong arranged for the shipping company to transfer three small steamers that can carry 100 passengers, which is a rare thing in Chengdu.

The recipients of the bursary, one hundred and twenty male students, sat in two boats in the back, two people in one room, and it was very spacious.

Xie Niancheng, Xie Xinyong and other Xie family members naturally took the boat in front, and for the convenience of the journey, Zhao Ke, Zhou Xintong and four other girls also got on the first boat.

Long-distance travel is the first time in life for the vast majority of young students who have never left Sichuan.

When the three small steamers sounded their horns to the relatives and friends who came to see them off on the shore and started to move at full speed, the students still braved the scorching sun and stayed on the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait and talk about life at the same time.

The boat at the front is less crowded, the place is even more spacious, the bow of the boat has a few parasols, Xie Niancheng is wearing shorts and short sleeves, lying on a wide and comfortable folding chair, the small coffee table next to it is full of seasonal fruits, and Haruko is gently accompanying him.

The rest of the commandos went to the stern of the boat to brag and fart, and the girls chatted together in twos and threes, either in the bow or in the stern, and from time to time there was a crisp laugh from the waterfowl passing by the water.

Only Ye Xiaoqiu and Xie Xinyong have turned a blind eye to this beautiful scenery, and are still discussing related matters along the road.

didn't know what to talk about, Zhou Xintong ran to the bow of the boat with a smile, and Zhao Ke caught up behind him, and the two fought.

Xie Niancheng's favorite thing to watch is the coolly dressed girl playing, that coquettish, that turbulent, men understand.

Zhao Ke found Xie Niancheng's eyes and frowned slightly: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." ”

Zhou Xintong saw Xie Niancheng lying on the chair at this time, and he was also a little embarrassed, and took back the claws that had been placed on Zhao Ke's chest.

"Honey, you go on, you go on, it's good when I don't exist."

Zhou Xintong and Xie Niancheng are also familiar with each other, their eyebrows are raised, and they twist Xie Niancheng's arm when they come over: "Call you nonsense." ”

Xie Niancheng picked up the watermelon and took a bite: "Honey, come, sit...... There are many locations here, eat some watermelon, but don't get heat stroke. ”

Zhou Xintong was not polite, so he really lay down: "I don't see it, you can enjoy it." ”

Zhao Ke has been exposed to the sun for a while, and after a bit of fuss with Zhou Xintong, his body is also slightly hot, and the tip of his cute nose is already sweating.

Xie Niancheng sighed: "Zhao Ke, you also come over, although you don't admit it if you lose the bet, but I'm a very generous person, I won't mind, you can also come over to cool off." ”

Zhou Xintong twisted his body a few times and found the most comfortable position to lie down: "Ake, come here, it's really cool here." ”

Zhao Ke hesitated a few times, after all, she was just an eighteen-year-old cute girl, she didn't have much heart, the cool parasol and water-cooled watermelon easily defeated her calculation of the losing bet, and walked to the recliner next to Zhou Xintong and sat down.

Haruko pursed her lips and smiled, and left with a sense of humor.

The sisters of the Xie family gathered together and watched Xie Niancheng, Zhao Ke and Zhou Xintong at the bow of the boat from a distance, and their hearts were different.

Most of the girls grew up with Xie Niancheng since childhood, and they also knew that Zhao Ke had a marriage contract with Xie Niancheng, and when they saw this scene, they would only be happy for Xie Niancheng, after all, Zhao Ke was second to none in Chengdu where there were many beauties, and when they learned that their marriage contract was dissolved, the girls were sad for Xie Niancheng for several days.

However, there are also girls who secretly have feelings for Xie Niancheng, and the taste in their hearts at this time is not too cool.

Xie Niancheng is completely two people in terms of his ability to treat women and do other things.

If Xie Niancheng is described by the combat effectiveness index, his combat effectiveness in grasping the psychology of the girls does not exceed five.

"Zhao Ke, you say, when will I teach you calligraphy?"

The corners of Zhao Ke's mouth raised: "What, did I lose the bet?" ”

Xie Niancheng didn't expect Zhao Ke to make this move, seeing Zhou Xintong pursing his lips and stealing fun, he hurriedly asked for help: "My dear, you can be a witness next to you that day." ”

Zhou Xintong was used to Xie Niancheng calling her dear, and she still felt a little sweet when she was called like this in her heart, but she was somewhat surprised by Xie Niancheng's positive posture towards Zhao Ke.

"Hey, think of me at this time? I can't remember, I can't remember anything. ”

Zhao Ke's big eyes looked at Xie Niancheng slyly, just to see how he reacted.

Xie Niancheng's anger hadn't risen yet, and he was stared at by this watery beauty for a few moments before it was gone. "Well, I got a perfect score in the extra test."

Zhao Ke saw Xie Niancheng honestly defending, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Those two poems of yours are full marks for you men, but for us girls, I don't think it's so good...... If it's a female gentleman who judges the papers, it's a question of whether you can pass or not. ”

Zhao Ke is really a set of tricks when he plays Laipi.

"Okay, okay, then I'll write another poem in the next few days, and I'll ask the girls on the boat to score it, if you get a full score again, what do you say?"

"Hehe, I'll talk about it when I get it."

Xie Niancheng saw Zhao Ke, who was dressed in long clothes and trousers, and had an idea: "Why don't we change the bet, if you lose, change into Western clothes and show me?" ”

Zhao Ke rolled his eyes: "Hmph, I don't wear it if it's immoral." ”

"Don't worry, it's good-looking, it's good-looking."

Teasing a few back and forth, Xie Niancheng's "little brother" had some movement, Xie Niancheng had no choice, he could only control his brain and not be so impulsive, but this "little brother" was really not enough in front of beauties, and he reacted at every turn.

Xie Niancheng hurriedly sat up and munched on the watermelon in disguise.

Fortunately, Zhao Ke and Zhou Xintong didn't notice it, but continued to enjoy the green mountains and green waters on both sides of the strait.

For these students, the morning trip was simply perfect, and the pinnacle of this perfection was to enjoy the fresh fish that the chef on board bought from the fishing boats on the river at noon.

In the afternoon, the days were a little difficult, first of all, the weather was more sultry, even if the river breeze could not relieve the heat; Then, as the boat sailed into the hilly and mountainous areas, the current was fast, and the boat also jolted, and many people vomited.

Xie Xinyong had already prepared and ordered people to distribute the medicine.

The girls on the first boat, except for Kagura and Sister Cannon, all had some seasickness reactions, especially Zhao Ke, who was delicate since he was a child, had the worst physical strength and vomited the most.

Xie Niancheng smiled and sent the medicine over: "Yo, Miss Zhao, they all said that they broke their promises and gained weight, why did you come the other way around, how much did you vomit, it wouldn't be the ...... What's that, right? ”

Zhao Ke swallowed the medicine as soon as he grabbed it, struggling to get up and chase Xie Niancheng, and as soon as he got up, it was dark for a while, but fortunately, Zhou Xintong, who was in the same room, reacted a lot less and helped her.

Xie Niancheng laughed and walked away.

When he arrived at the bow of the boat, Ye Xiaoqiu looked at Xie Niancheng with a smile, which made Xie Niancheng feel a little furious.

"Little boy, go to ** your sweetheart again?"

Sweetheart? This stopped Xie Niancheng from asking, do you like Zhao Ke? The answer is yes.,But,I seem to like every pretty girl like it.。

Xie Niancheng said with a straight face: "Xiaoqiu, I obviously didn't ** you." ”

"Go and go, I'm almost seventeen years old this year, and I'm still so improper."

"How's it going, how does it feel to come out?"

Ye Xiaoqiu lay down, and the knee-length short skirt slipped up a little more, revealing her smooth and smooth thighs.

Xie Niancheng held his head in his hands, "To be honest, the biggest feeling is that I didn't expect the people to be so poor." ”

Along the way, there were already slender men, groups of slender men working barefoot, almost naked under the scorching sun, and many earthen thatched houses on the hillside in the distance, giving people the feeling that they could be knocked down with a little force.

This made Xie Niancheng, who grew up in the relatively wealthy Shuangyang County, be greatly shocked.

"It's grown up, I thought you only cared about looking at beautiful women all the way."

"Xiaoqiu, I said I want these people to have a good life, do you believe it?"

"Other people say, I don't believe it, but what you say, I believe."

"Am I that handsome?"

Ye Xiaoqiu said quietly: "If I hadn't met you, I would be just a maid pinching her legs and beating her back by the master's side, I believe that you have this ability, and there must be a way to make everyone live a good life." ”

Being praised heartily by a beautiful woman, any man will be satisfied.

Xie Niancheng now hates himself for knowing too little about politics and economics in that time and space, and he is even more interested in studying at Qingpu Military and Political School in the future.

With more than 100 years of knowledge, as long as you learn the principles of politics, economy and society, it shouldn't be impossible to make a career, right?

In the next few days, Xie Niancheng was basically with Xie Xinyong and Ye Xiaoqiu, asking the two about the customs along the way.

After the students lay in the boat for a few days, most of them slowly adapted to it, and a few of them were seriously ill, Xie Xinyong sent two subordinates to take them to the nearest county seat to live and recuperate, and then go to Shanghai to find Xie Xinyi to get a ticket to Germany after the illness was cured.

In the afternoon of this day, the ship arrived at White Emperor City, where there were many inns, and Xie Xinyong decided to get off the boat and rest for the night. After this decision, the students were all cheering.

I didn't go ashore for a few days, but when I first came ashore, I felt that the ground was a little shaky.

A group of people went to the top of the mountain lively, looking back at the west, it is the countryside that gave birth to them for decades, looking east, it is the twists and turns of the Three Gorges, out of the Three Gorges, they left Sichuan.

Looking up at the sunset in the sky, it was like seeing my parents and fellow villagers, I don't know which sentimental girl whimpered and shed tears, and the sorrow infected many people, and many students began to cry secretly.

Xie Niancheng smiled: "Why are you crying, it's not like we're not coming back...... After completing our studies, we are going to come back to build our hometown, so that the old folks we see along the way can live a good life, let them all eat well, dress warmly, and let them live in spacious and bright new houses. People say, right? ”

Xie Niancheng's words reached the bottom of every student's heart: "Yes...... We will be back! The sound of shouting in unison echoed in the mountains.

Xie Niancheng led a few boys to climb to the highest place, made a horn with his hand and shouted to the west: "I...... Guys...... Yes...... Return...... Come...... of the, we ...... Yes...... It's back! ”

Several girls saw the light shining on Xie Niancheng's childish but handsome face, and their heartbeats were inexplicably faster.
