Song Bo asked the two visitors: What is the matter with you looking for Mr. Li?

I am the elder brother of his own family, and I have come to him to discuss some small things. One of the older said. As he spoke, he took out a pack of Baisha cigarettes, tore his mouth open, and handed one to Song Bo: Smoke a cigarette?

Thank you. Song Bo said that smoking is not allowed in our office. What Song Bo means is that I can't smoke, so please don't smoke here either.

It's still so strict, isn't it? The younger one laughed.

The older one put away his cigarette: Li Fei doesn't care about how the hotel can do so well. Do you think it's like you and me? The two looked at each other and smiled.

Song Bo said, Mr. Li went to the city government to do business, do you wait here for a while, or do you go to do something else before you come? Song Bo's original intention was to hope that they would come back later. Two strangers sitting next to him would make him very uncomfortable.

The elder said, "We have come to the city today to see him, and there is nothing else." As he spoke, he looked at the sofa next to him, meaning that we would just sit here and wait. Song Bo got up and opened the door of the general manager's office and said that the two of you please sit inside.

The two of them sat down on the circle chair by the window, their eyes wandering around. Song Bo came in with two glasses of boiled water, put them on the small round table, and said that there were newspapers outside.

This is your general manager's office? Said the older one.

It's just a slap in the face. The young one is somewhat dismissive.

The older man craned his neck to look over: do you see, the office over there is also like a pigeon cage, smaller than his own, just enough to set a table. And it's only a layer of glass. Why don't you GM make your office bigger?

Song Bo smiled and did not answer positively. Tell you to wait a minute. As he spoke, he withdrew.

After a while, Li Fei came back and saw two people sitting in his office through the glass, asking what was going on? Song Bo whispered, saying that it was your relative.

Seeing Li Fei enter the door, the two guests hurriedly stood up. The elder said, Brother Li Fei, do you still recognize me?

You're — the person in front of you is familiar.

I'm your brother Bi Qing! Said the older guest.

Right! Brother Bi Qing, I remembered. Li Fei said excitedly.

It's been more than 20 years, and you were only a teenager when you were devolved. The guest named Bi Qing said with emotion. If it weren't for this specific environment, Li Fei in front of him really wouldn't dare to recognize him.

yes, you were the captain of the squad back then. Li Fei said, I remember that you always wear an old military uniform, walk in a hurry, and do things without mercy, and the people in the team are afraid of you.

Seeing Li Fei laughing, Song Bo outside relieved his heart. Finally, I didn't run into a scammer.

You may be seated.

You sit too.

Li Fei did not walk to his position, but sat down on the chair in front of the table. It's more intimate.

Li Biqing said: I had just returned from the army at that time, and 90 percent of the people in Wanzi were my own family, and if you were polite to them, you would not be able to carry out your work at all. Li Biqing said and turned to the younger one: Brother Li Fei was different at that time, he was willing to work hard, and he was not lazy. Once, when he was going from the field to the threshing floor to pick up the sheaf of grain, he saw that there was a laborer who was carrying the load (double portion), and he followed it. He frightened his uncle, who was harvesting sheaves of grain in the field. Many young intellectuals in our brigade could only get seven points of work for a few years, and he didn't go for a few days to get nine points.

I've never taken a ten-point job. Li Fei said with a smile.

A full-time laborer can only earn 10 percent a day. Said the younger one.

Who is this? Li Fei asked.

He is the meritorious uncle of his family. Li Biqing said.

Li Fei, I was still in elementary school when you were devolved. Li Chenggong said.

Oh - looking at the uncle in front of him who was younger than himself, Li Fei was a little uncomfortable.

Uncle Chenggong's family is a house, so he has a high seniority. Li Biqing said, I heard that the uncle and aunt ......?

Died early. Li Fei smiled sadly.

Poor, Li Biqing said, I remember that my aunt had a pair of small feet and was not in good health. In the summer, you move a bamboo bed to the harvest field at the door, you sit on the bamboo bed and play the flute, and your aunt is next to you to fan you to catch mosquitoes. It is really a mother and a son, and everyone in the bay is moved.

The past is unbearable, so Li Fei shook his head again and again: Every day at dawn, you shout to work in the bay, and the old lady has to get up and cook every day before dawn. Although Li Fei was still smiling at this time, Li Biqing saw tears in the corners of his eyes.

Infected by Li Fei's emotions, Li Biqing also lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. He said, "As soon as the conscription process began that year, you came to me and said that I was going to join the army." At that time, the policy was that only children would not be recruited, but you were determined and argued that you must go. My aunt can't stop you, and she can't do without you, so she cries in a hurry. Secretly come to me and beg me to do work with you. I ask you why you want to be a soldier? You said you want to defend your home and country. I said that your statement can deceive your uncle and aunt, and you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me.

Li Biqing's words also evoked Li Fei's memories. Li Fei clearly remembered that Li Biqing said at that time, XXX taught us to see the essence through the phenomenon. You actively ask to be a soldier, it's just a phenomenon; Its essence is to jump out of the countryside and escape the re-education of the middle peasants who have been lifted out of poverty.

At that time, I believed in XXX's words, just like Song Bo and Huang Kanghua now believe in the dogma of cultural holidays. The little private thoughts hidden deep in my heart were broken with one word, and I couldn't help but admire Li Biqing's strength.

Li Fei said, I don't think the soldier is done, I remember that you gave me a book you read in the army afterwards, which is a red plastic face "Five Philosophical Works". Li Fei took a book from his desk and gestured that it was only half the size of this book. The kind that fits in your pocket. After reading these five articles, I feel that my ability to understand the world has made a qualitative leap.

Li Fei is by no means unbelievable when he says this, he has indeed always believed that his little business talent is benefiting from this little book.

Li Biqing said, I don't even remember this incident.

Brother Bi Qing, what are you doing now? Li Fei asked.

What else do I have to do? The field is divided, the production team is gone, and after you left, I mixed in the brigade for a few years, and then it dispersed. I've moved to town now.

Oh - yes.

The countryside is too bitter! Li Biqing said that he didn't have to make a head.

What do you live on in town?

Several of your nephews are older, and one of them has learned a trade, which can be regarded as a job. Your sister-in-law and I make a living by doing a little business.

That's not bad.

What's good, it's a mixed day. Uncle Chenggong is okay, he is now the owner of a construction company.

How big is the company? Li Fei asked Li Chenggong.

Li Chenggong smiled embarrassedly: We are a small company.

During this time, a phone call came in, and Li Fei tried to make a long story short; The landline phone has not been put down, and the mobile phone rings again. The two people next to them waited anxiously, and when Li Fei put down the phone, Li Biqing immediately seized the gap and said, Brother Li Fei, I see that you are also very busy, let's talk simply. We're here this time mainly for the sake of the clan.

What's playing? Li Fei interjected and asked. Seeing Bi Qing and Cheng Gong smiling at each other, Li Fei understood the underlying lines: he didn't even understand this!

It's no wonder that you have too little contact with the clan. Li Biqing squinted his eyes and said that playing music is to compile a roster for all members of the clan according to their families and generations.

Does this make any sense? Li Fei's words made the two of them very stunned, the most important thing for the clan, don't you really understand? Li Fei saw that Li Biqing restrained his smile at this moment and became serious.

Li Biqing said, if there is no genealogy, can you know where you came from? Who were your ancestors? How many descendants do you have?

Li Fei smiled: I don't even know what the names of my grandparents are. They died before I was born.

Li Biqing said, so you have to play a score, with a family tree, not to mention your grandfather, great-grandfather, that is, your grandfather's grandfather, your great-grandfather's great-grandfather, you can see it at a glance.

Li Fei interrupted Li Biqing's words: I'm not even interested in what my grandfather's name is, do you think I still care about what my grandfather's grandfather is called?

Li Biqing retorted: People can't know gratitude, right? Without our ancestors, where did we come from?

Li Fei sneered: Not necessarily. Without the Li family, there will be the Zhang family.

What a bastard! Li Biqing scolded in his heart, you are the descendant of the Li family, how did you get involved with the Zhang family?

Li Fei's own bastard words in his heart were not fully spoken, how could others understand. He thought that it was inevitable that a life would come to this world; As for which mother's womb came from, it was a kind of accident. So he said that either the Li family is the Zhang family, it's either the Zhang family or the Wang family, and there has to be one anyway. Therefore, what people have to repay is only the nurturing grace of their parents and the nurturing grace given by their living ancestors. As for those unbounded ancestors who have passed away, what else can they do but bring glory or shame to people?

In addition, he is a person who is deeply influenced by the XX ideology, and has a completely negative attitude towards the role of clans in the social mechanism. The opposite sex speaks of the clan, and the clan speaks of the head of the house; Fight fiercely, speak with fists; Ignoring justice, there is no justice. How could he, a man who despised this set of things in his heart, have a common language with his kind?

The scene was a little awkward. Li Biqing struggled to get rid of his extreme resentment, he looked down at a pair of mud-stained leather shoes on his feet on the ground, and said that this time the family played a score, and the city, the province, and even the whole country responded to it.

Even the people of the United States participated! Li Chenggong interjected.

Indeed, Uncle Chenggong said it well, and even many people overseas responded enthusiastically. We're just running away on behalf of this part of our city. Everyone has the money to contribute, the strength to contribute, and the enthusiasm is very high. Li Biqing,—— many well-known figures in our city paused, and he did not say who they were - it was inconvenient for them to come forward, but they also unreservedly supported our work. We have also set up a genealogy compilation committee, and if you wish, you can be the chairman or deputy chairman of the editorial board without having to participate in the actual work. Of course, this position is determined by the amount of donations. Everyone is equal when it comes to contributions. At present, the largest donation in the city is 1,000 yuan. Li Biqing looked back at Li Chenggong: Is this the number?

Li Chenggong nodded heavily.

Your donation is the greatest, and this chairman's seat is yours. Brother Li Fei, this is a famous thing for the ages. Another point is that this time the music has also been reformed, in the past, the music was played by men and not women, but now family planning is implemented, and there is only one girl in some families, and we have also implemented the same treatment of men and women in the family tree. Of course, if you have any scruples, you can also pay nothing. Just cooperate with us to do a good job of notation. I heard that you have a boy and a girl and two children, and it is really in time for the good times, and this time they can all enter the family tree at the same time.

Brother Bi Qing, you have said so much, and your words have been made clear. Li Fei said, thank you for looking up to me and making a special trip to me. I think so, you can see if it will work, I donate 500 yuan, which is a little bit of my heart. But I'm not on your editorial board.

Hearing that Li Fei was willing to donate money, the two turned their worries into joy. So how can it be done, if you don't have a chairman, you have to have a vice-chairman. Li Biqing said.

Yes. Li Chenggong was also beating the drums on the side.

If you insist on doing this, I won't donate it. Seeing that Li Fei had no room for negotiation, Li Biqing said to Li Chenggong in embarrassment, what should I do? We have no choice but to be respectful. He turned to Li Fei again and said, I thank you on behalf of the clan, thank you for sending charcoal in the snow. To put it mildly, we have paid for the travel expenses of running away until now.

There is another request, Li Fei said, my family and I are not on the genealogy.

What's the trouble with this, the money is out. Li Biqing was puzzled.

Paying to keep up with the family tree is two different things. Li Fei insisted. Li Biqing knew that he couldn't resist it, so he had to rely on him.

A year later, Li Fei received a paper package and opened it to see that it was two genealogies. Li Fei found the page of his own house, and sure enough, it was only until his father and mother came here, and he and his family did not continue it. And Uncle Tang's family is all successors. He suddenly felt full of guilt, and couldn't help but burst into tears in his eyes. I'm sorry! Father and mother, I really didn't expect this to be the case.

Ma Ke came to the general office, saw that there was a guest in Li Fei's office, stood in front of Song Bo and knocked on the table with the back of his finger and said, there is a big mess! Wu Bing just called back from Wuhan and said that when Zheng Baiwen was loading goods in Hankou, his bag was stolen by thieves. There are more than 10,000 yuan in the bag.

Song Bo said that Bai Wen has always been very careful in doing things, why did he make such a big mistake this time?

Ma Ke said that Wu Bing said that he and Zheng Baiwen were not together at the time, and Zheng Baiwen was picking up the goods in the kitchenware store alone, and he put his handbag in the cab, asked the driver to help watch it, and he and the store went to load the goods. The driver saw that the goods were too heavy, so he got out of the car and helped to take a hand. When I returned to the cab, I found that the bag was missing. It's a matter of a minute or two at most.

What to do? Song Bo said, isn't this money for Zheng Baiwen to lose?

Ma Ke said that Zheng Baiwen's salary is only more than 400 yuan a month, and if he wants to pay compensation, he will have to pay for two or three years if he does not eat or drink. This is really a cowherd baby to pay for the cow, so how can he afford it?

Song Bo said, it's not okay if you don't pay, otherwise how to deal with similar situations in the future? Xiao Zheng is an honest man, and we believe that there will be no fraud in it; If it were someone else, who would be able to tell if it was true or false?

What a conundrum! Marco snorted heavily, it was not easy to pay or not.

Song Bo said that in the end, it depends on what the boss says. Mr. Li, he will always have a way.

Ma Ke asked who the two people inside were, and Song Bo told him that they were two relatives of Li Fei in the countryside. When asked what was the matter, Song Bo said he didn't know. Marco asked how long it had been coming, and Song Bo said he had been here for a while. Or you'll come back later.

Li Fei saw that Ma Ke was coming and not leaving at this time, and looked at him frequently, knowing that he was looking for something for himself. Li Biqing followed Li Fei's gaze and said Is someone looking for you for something? Let's go, you're too busy.
