Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Trip to Bencheng
Unlike the European-style style of the Harbin Railway Station, the Bencheng Railway Station is fully Japanese-style, it was built in 1936 and is an enlarged version of Tokyo's Ueno Railway Station, and to be precise, the two train stations were designed by the same person.
The railway station implements the diversion design of upper and lower exit, and a U-shaped tardigrade platform extends down from the second floor, with novel shape and cheap entry and exit.
The square in front of the station is not as big as Harbin City, but the trams come and go, and there are many shopping malls, which is also a unique style.
The orderly Xiao Liu brought a car to pick them up at the station and drove them to the nursing home.
The name of the sanatorium is very interesting, it is called the Eighty-Seven Sanatorium. After carefully checking their work permits, the sentry let them in.
The car drove very slowly, Qi Youheng rolled down the window and looked at the scenery, and Liu Yan even poked his head out.
Spanning thousands of miles in two days, Xiao Liu felt that it was too unreal, Jiayang has not stopped heating now, the big boiler is still emitting black smoke every day, Bincheng is already a spring, he pointed to a flower tree and said loudly, "Director Qi, look, the tree has not grown leaves and bloomed first, and the branches are full of flowers!" ”
"Doesn't Dadaxiang also bloom first?" Qi Youheng was disgusted at him for making a fuss.
"This one is beautiful, full of bloom, purple and shining!" Liu Yan continued to look around happily.
"It's called elm leaf plum, and the white one is magnolia." Xiao Liu introduced them.
The environment in the sanatorium is elegant, the scenery is beautiful, there are yew, green bamboo, ginkgo and other flowers and trees everywhere, there are more cherry blossoms and a tree, which blooms brilliantly, the car drives by, Liu Yan looks up at the flowers, and reaches out to catch a falling petal
Walking inside, under the shade of trees, there are small western-style buildings with different styles and unique shapes. made Qi Youheng feel in a trance that everything was unreal.
"No wonder they don't go back to Harbin City, it's so good here!" Qi Youheng couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Liu pointed to the small buildings one by one and introduced them one by one, "This used to be the villa of a senior officer of the Japanese Kwantung Army; This building was once lived in by the prime minister and other national leaders when they came to inspect it; This building, Ye Shuai once lived; This one, the appearance is inconspicuous, Queen Wanrong once lived on the other side, there are others"
Finally, they stopped in front of the door of a small yellow brick building with a steeple, high stone steps, and vines climbed outside, Qi Huici came out of the door, happily called out to his little brother, and went down the steps to pick him up.
"Sister, it's so comfortable here, the air is humid!"
"If you're comfortable, stay for a few more days." Qi Huici smiled and pulled him in, "Your brother-in-law is waiting for you." ”
Qi Youheng entered He Hongzhi's study, and if Shen Mengxi also came, she would find that the photo that had been torn up and spliced together had been brought to Bincheng.
He Hongzhi was writing, Qi Youheng stood aside and watched him finish writing and put down his pen before calling his brother-in-law.
"Here we are." Ho wiped his hands and let him sit on the sofa to the side.
Xiao Liu brought fruit platter, snacks and coffee, and He Hongzhi could Qi Youheng, "Are you used to drinking coffee, I'm used to drinking a cup of coffee at this time." After speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "The stinky problem has come out again, I can't even drink the end of tea in those years, and I don't have any habits!" ”
"There are conditions, of course, according to your own habits." Qi Youheng took a sip of coffee, "Wow! It's bitter! No, I still have to add a piece of sugar, I'm not as good as my girl in this regard, and I don't need to add sugar to Zhuzhu. ”
"Yes, Zhuzhu also loves coffee?"
"Hey, where can I drink before, it was last year, Jing Yu took us out to learn more and teach her to drink coffee, she saw her cousin drink like this, so she drank it."
"Oh. The little girl is very smart and cute. ”
"Well, there have been a lot of opportunities in the past few years, and I used to be sick, and my father was worried every day, afraid that he would not be able to raise it. Now it's okay, it's lively, as soon as it comes to the sports meeting, it's not enough for her, if there is no limit, she can't wait to report all the projects! Qi Youheng's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, his eyes looked at the coffee, he didn't feel it, and his tone was full of doting.
Ho listened to him with interest.
Qi Youheng finally remembered the main purpose of his trip, and gradually led the topic to himself, "Last month, the glass of my house was smashed, and in the middle of the night, the bricks hit my girl's legs, which ruined my heartache!" The kid didn't cry, and he was standing on the kang to help me analyze the case! Later, I caught those three people, and I restrained them fiercely, and I saw who would dare to touch my family."
Qi Youheng is both in awe and inexplicable trust in He Hongzhi, he confided his confusion about officialdom, confusion about human nature, and timidity about the unknown future that he has never told people about, all of which he poured out to his brother-in-law, and He Hongzhi helped him analyze the causes and consequences of the matter from a new height, and also analyzed his mentality.
"In politics, there is no one, only isms, no feelings, only interests. In politics, it is often not about killing a person, but about removing an obstacle.
Youheng, if you don't have a career in the world, you can not enter this circle at all. Later, you'll find that this is the most disappointing place. In fact, Ho Hongzhi would like to use the word dark.
"Can I go back?" If you go back now, how will you deal with yourself in the future?
"yes." Ho Hongzhi muttered, "Sometimes once you step out, you can never quit." However, where there are people, there is politics, but you don't have to be rigid, there is perseverance, and I think you can do a good job.
I can't do everything for you, that would have fooled you. Just remember to keep in mind what you want and don't shift your direction.
Also, when you are somewhere, you feel satisfied and comfortable, that is the end. ”
Qi Youheng looked at his brother-in-law blankly, he remembered that when he first took office, he was full of joy in the face of the congratulations of his colleagues, the joy when he sat in the new independent office, the satisfaction and joy of the couple when the telephone was installed at home, and the self-satisfaction when he heard the praise of his old father. He felt ashamed, even if he didn't have the lofty goal of honoring his ancestors as an official, it would be shameful to be complacent for a deputy director.
Qi Youheng looked at his brother-in-law and nodded, but didn't speak.
"Your sister has to roll noodles for you today, saying that she is getting on the car and getting off the dumplings, and she must roll them by herself. For a moment, you remember, be sure to praise her sincerely! ”
Qi Youheng laughed, "Okay, okay!" ”
Qi Huici's noodles really need to be instructed. - The noodles are either broken or lumpy.
Qi Youheng exaggeratedly admired, "Oh mom, it's so delicious, it tastes similar to what our mother makes!" ”
Qi Huici smiled and accepted the praise calmly, "Then you eat more!" ”
Until the end of the meal, Qi Youheng still did not directly mention the appropriation to He Hongzhi, but quietly talked to Qi Huici in private.
"Hmph, as soon as I heard you coming, I guessed about it, your county magistrate's performance was too explicit." Qi Huici smiled.
"Sister, I've sent it out, what do you think!"
"I'll send you and I'll take something through the back door?"
"I'm not going through the back door, I'm here to visit relatives!" Qi Youheng unconsciously brought the coquettish, "Sister, you can make more contributions to your hometown!" ”
"I'm different from you, that's not my hometown, my hometown is in Shuangxian, I was born in Shuangxian!" Qi Huici turned her head away and didn't look at her brother's face.
"Sister, where is our father, where is my hometown!" Qi Youheng continued to grind. "For our father! The road is good, and our father can go back to Shuangxian to have a look! ”
In the end, Qi Huici couldn't and agreed to go back to Harbin City, Qi Youheng jumped up happily, shaking Qi Huici's arm, and the two sisters and brothers seemed to have returned to their childhood.
