Chapter 17: I don't want to say goodbye without saying goodbye
"I'm going to the West Frontier."
Song Yifei's answer caught Yang Xin off guard.
He asked, "How is your work now", I originally thought that Song Yifei would answer something like an unfamiliar environment, strict leadership, and still exploring, but why did she suddenly pop up such a big news that she was going to Western Xinjiang?
Are you kidding?
Isn't it good to work in the capital?
Why do you suddenly want to go to the Western Xinjiang?
And you're just a freshly graduated, newcomer!
But after he doubted his ears, he looked at Song Yifei's calm and clear eyes, and he understood that she was not joking, and he heard correctly.
"The regiment has a counterpart to support the task of Western Xinjiang, and this is the second round. This kind of transfer is more temperable, and I can also accumulate a lot of experience in grassroots work, and I am young and strong, and I have no family burden, so I am the most suitable candidate. ”
Song Yifei took a sip of the eight-treasure tea he poured, and then slowly told the story behind her going to Western Xinjiang.
In fact, Song Yifei asked him out to eat this time just to tell him about it. She hesitated for a long time, but she still didn't want to say goodbye.
"Did your leader arrange for you to go, or did you choose to go by yourself?"
Yang Xin frowned.
If it was assigned by the leader, then Yang Xin would have to fight for his good friend - how could there be a reason for a group of big men to shrink back and let a delicate girl run to work in such a difficult place?
"My own choice."
Song Yifei's words made Yang Xin speechless.
In fact, being able to make such a choice is also in line with Yang Xin's understanding of Song Yifei.
Song Yifei is such a person!
During college, she didn't see herself as a girl, and she could do what a man could do, and she had to do it better!
And Song Yifei's ambition is to be on top of her career, just like she said, going to Western Xinjiang to support can achieve the purpose of exercising her ability and accumulating grassroots work experience, so why not sign up?
Staying in the capital and wanting to come out, I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey......
"How long does it take to go once?"
Yang Xin was silent for a while before asking.
"At least five years, after five years, you can choose to come back or you can stay there. Before, there were colleagues and leaders who stayed there and became county magistrates and mayors. ”
These examples that Song Yifei said definitely don't apply to her, her qualifications and rank are still far behind.
But for the western Xinjiang, which is thirsty for talents and sparsely populated, as long as Song Yifei does well, he will not have a chance. What's more, she still has a deep background in her family to support her.
It's just, five years!
How many five years can a person's youth have?
Now Song Yifei is twenty-three years old.
Five years later, even if she returned, she would be twenty-eight years old. Like the song that sings, "My young bird does not come back"......
"Have you already decided to go?"
Yang Xin's mood is a little complicated, on the one hand, he sighs at the courage of his friend and is willing to dedicate his youth to the frontier of the motherland, and on the other hand, he is worried about her, the conditions in western Xinjiang are definitely more difficult than those in the eastern region, and there are many dangers, and she doesn't think it is a good choice for her to go to western Xinjiang.
"The name of last week's report has been decided this week."
"When are you leaving?"
"Not so soon, it should be October."
Not so fast, not right away, but also next month, a sure deal......
Looking at Song Yifei, whose eyes had always been firm, Yang Xin suddenly laughed with relief.
"Okay, tell me when you've got your schedule. I'll send you when the time comes. ”
Yang Xin pretended to be hearty and said.
Just now, he thought about persuading Song Yifei not to take risks, but he quickly dispelled this idea.
It's useless to persuade, what Song Yifei decides, she will definitely do her best to do it well. If she is afraid to retreat because of danger, then she is not Song Yifei either!
What's more, her choice is not wrong, to be precise, she is going to Western Xinjiang to support, to build the motherland in difficult places, and to lead the people to get rich in poor places, this choice is very great!
What reason did Yang Xin have to persuade her to stay?
Why don't you just bless it!
Youth does not have to be in the bustling and lively capital to bloom perfectly, in the difficult and barren western land can also bloom the most beautiful flowers!
"Okay, I'll tell you in advance if I have news."
Song Yifei's expression did not change, but her mood became inexplicably happy.
The food in the Phoenix Beijing Office restaurant was not served quickly, Yang Xin and Song Yifei sat for a long time before the food they ordered was served slowly.
However, slow work comes out of meticulous work, like the large plate of steaming chicken, which looks freshly made in the kitchen, and the freshness of the ingredients far exceeds those prepared dishes for takeaway.
"Delicious! It's not as spicy, but the chicken is fragrant and chewy. ”
Yang Xin unceremoniously picked up a piece and tasted it with relish.
"How do you feel like you're on a food broadcast, and you're commenting while eating?"
Song Yifei watched him eat and didn't hurry to move his chopsticks.
"That's right, I didn't pay attention to it if you didn't say it, but it was only broadcast live, and the conversation became more."
Yang Xin raised his head and smiled at her, and then stretched out his chopsticks to the plate of hand-grasped mutton.
He didn't urge Song Yifei to eat quickly, because they used to eat like this, Yang Xin feasted, and Song Yifei sat opposite while drinking tea while talking to him about things, and only stretched out his chopsticks once in half a day.
Song Yifei's meal is very small, if she doesn't stop eating at the beginning, she may have to Mingjin to withdraw her troops after a while, just sit there and watch Yang Xin gobble it up.
"Take a glove, this hand grabs mutton, and eats it with chopsticks without a soul."
Song Yifei took apart the disposable gloves and handed them to Yang Xin.
"Yes."
Yang Xin was as good as a stream, and after putting on gloves, he grabbed the lamb ribs he sandwiched into the bowl.
The main thing is to grasp the mutton is an original flavor, the mutton without adding any seasonings looks white and tender, the fat and thin are relatively moderate, the teeth bite, the mutton with fascia is torn off, and the aroma of juice suddenly fills the entire mouth.
Of course, it will be more delicious when dipped in the garlic seasoning that comes with the store, the smell of the sheep will be suppressed by the taste of the garlic, and it can also stimulate the umami of the mutton, and you won't feel tired of eating a few more pieces!
"Delicious, delicious! Chairman, how do you know there is such a good little restaurant? ”
Yang Xin was full of praise.
He was also a little curious, Song Yifei was not as fond of finding food as he was, and she was not greedy for appetite, when she was in school before, Yang Xin came to book a place for dinner. How did you find such a small restaurant that looks remote and inconspicuous, but tastes surprisingly good?
"A colleague from the unit once invited me to dinner, and I know you must like it."
Although Song Yifei herself tasted it at a superficial level, she still showed Yang Xin the new way she learned from her colleague - pouring a plate of hand-rolled trouser noodles (also known as biangbiang noodles) into a large plate of chicken, stirring it again, so that the trouser noodles absorbed the juice of the large plate of chicken.
"Yes, yes, this looks very good!"
Yang Xin's eyes lit up, and he waited for Song Yifei to mix it with the bowl.
