When it came to the meal, there were more people getting off work in Longyou City.

The empty city streets are slowly becoming bustling. It was only at this time that He Yi'an suddenly noticed the surrounding environment.

The buildings in the whole city are low and messy, there are basically no tall buildings, and even a few buildings that need to be slightly raised to look up are all smeared with a layer of muddy yellow by the perennial wind and sand.

It's not pretty, let alone spectacular.

Elm trees on both sides of the road also drooped their heads listlessly in the dry heat. There is a shortage of water for the people in the city, so there is no surplus to water these flowers and plants. Even if it is watered, it is rare for the roots to drink freely.

Therefore, most of the green plants rely on God's merciful precipitation, and they are hungry and full. Not to mention the terrible sand, which has to be covered from time to time. Whenever this kind of weather is met, the locals use an extremely vivid word to describe it.

Get to the ground!

The drought and wind and sand caused a thick layer of dust to accumulate on each leaf of the elm tree, so that the leaves fell to the ground and could not raise their heads, like a coolie carrying a load. If someone kicks at the trunk of a tree in boredom, the dust immediately falls down like snowflakes that have accumulated on the tree, and then there is a choking "earth rain".

The city is still the same as I remember in my childhood, and it is not much better than the group field, but there are more buildings, more bicycles, and more people. Nothing else, it doesn't seem to be much! He Yi'an thought so in his heart.

The people on the streets, as far as the eye can see, are all dressed in monotonous clothes.

Either it's blue-gray, that's the national standard;

Either the grass is green, and that's the recent rise of the military uniform trend.

It's almost impossible to see a bright color with other warm tones, and that kind of color is probably only worn by the girls in the park on the weekend, so as to arouse the hormones of the male partner opposite.

The rest of the time, monotonous practicality is the main trend of the times.

The narrow streets are crowded with commuters, each with a 28-bar in hand, hurriedly piled up in front of the zebra crossing. The traffic policeman in white clothes and blue pants were pacing and turning in an orderly manner with a whistle.

There are no traffic lights, and everyone's standardized actions rely on a whistle and a pair of hands.

As soon as the whistle sounded, everyone slowly moved forward like an ant colony out of the nest, and the ensuing noise suddenly sounded. The people on the bikes did not forget to talk to each other, and their faces were more or less full of smiles.

It is a natural satisfaction with a monotonous life.

On the street, in addition to a few large Baotou buses that are as slow as a turtle climbing, you can occasionally see a few agricultural carts pulled by donkeys and mules, swaying leisurely on the street path. Look at the remote street corner and stop, pull the tightly covered quilt after the car, revealing some rare agricultural and sideline products, eggs, corn, and even a few live chickens, squatting in the corner like chickens and dogs, waiting for the off-duty group to come forward to bargain.

He Weiguo held his head high with his hands behind his back in front, looking very imposing, while He Yi'an was holding Du Wanling's arm behind him, listening to He Weiguo majestically pointing at the country with a pair of pairs, and I don't know how much I listened.

A short walk along the city's main thoroughfare, a restaurant called "Hao Shun Lai" appears in front of you.

He Weiguo pushed open the door, and the sharp-eyed restaurant shopkeeper Master Qi was stunned at first, and then put on a professional smile on his face, and hurriedly trotted all the way to meet him, with a familiar posture of "I don't see you for many days" in surprise.

"Oh, isn't this Director He? It's been years since you've been here. Nodding his head, Master Qi automatically blocked the word "deputy" in the other party's position, which may be the traditional flattery rule.

"Oh, it's Master Qi!" He Weiguo responded lightly.

In today's era, no honorific title of "boss" has been invented, and everyone still greets each other according to the old title.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, but he had long forgotten what his name was, He Weiguo sighed: "This is good and you are still in charge, how many years have you been here?" ”

Back then, this restaurant was a place that Ho Wai Kwok used to visit when he was the director of the Health Bureau. It's been more than ten years, the restaurant is still the same restaurant, and the shopkeeper is still the shopkeeper.

I have to sigh that the name "Hao Lai Shun" is really exquisite and auspicious, otherwise how could it be so tenacious.

"Hey, how do you know my ......," He Weiguo then asked suspiciously.

"Hey, the news of your promotion is in our fart Longyou, that's explosive news, if anyone doesn't know that you have been transferred to the province, then he is lonely!"

Such a superb sycophant is really a bit like a spring breeze. Perhaps this is exactly what He Weiguo needs. For a moment, he narrowed his eyes, intoxicated by this kind of reverence that was admired by others and known to everyone in the world.

"Hehe, not so much!" He Weiguo casually politely said.

Master Qi nodded for a while, and then saw the mother and son who followed up, and he had excellent eyesight, so he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled flatteringly: "Yo, this must be Director Du, right?" ”

She had never seen each other at all, and Du Wanling was a little surprised, and nodded politely: "Oh, hello! ”

"Look at it, my little shop is really full of glory today, and you have guests. By the way, this is ...... again" Master Qi's shrewd little eyes aimed at He Yi'an on the side again.

"Hehe, this is my son!"

He Weiguo proudly introduced, asking He Yi'an to dress decently, for fear of losing his job if he met an acquaintance; The second is to show that his genes are excellent, and he has given birth to such an outstanding and outstanding character.

Master Qi, who knows people and knows his face, uses his kung fu to see the wind and steer and flatter, and has reached the point where practice makes perfect: "Oh, look at me, my eyes are clumsy, oops...... Your son is really full of heaven, the earth is round, and he is a talent. ”

"Hehe, that's it!" He Weiguo looked even more vigorous.

Du Wanling next to her was a little impatient, obviously disgusted by these hypocritical politeness without any nutrition, she frowned and interrupted the greetings between the two: "Weiguo, let's find a place to sit casually." ”

"How can that work!" Master Qi slapped his palms and looked extremely important: "I happen to have a good private room here that is still empty, come, I'll take you over." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to react, she hurriedly led the way diligently in front, while Du Wanling helplessly followed behind He Weiguo and reminded in a low voice: "Weiguo, is this good?" ”

He Weiguo held his head proudly: "Hey, it's okay, let's have a meal!" ”

Du Wanling shook her head and followed with a frown.

After a lap on the second floor, Master Qi took the three of them to a bright box facing the street, hurriedly beckoned the three of them to sit down, and then asked He Weiguo, who was the first to sit on the golden knife in Malaysia: "He Hall, what do you want to eat today?" ”

He Weiguo sat in the first place, unbuttoned the neckline of the tunic suit, looked at the layout of the box slightly, and seemed to be more satisfied, so he boldly explained to Master Qi: "In this way, you show your hands well today, bring me all your signature dishes, and open a bottle of Moutai for me by the way!" ”

Master Qi's eyes lit up: "Yo, what is the happy event today?" ”

"Hehehe......" He Weiguo smiled and said nothing.

Du Wanling on the other side was really a little unbearable, and she always felt awkward when she got along with these greasy characters in the market, so she interjected and said: "Master Qi, right, we are a family to have a light meal, nothing big, you can look at this dish, just enough for us to eat, don't waste it." ”

"Oh, okay, okay, then sit down, I'll greet you!" The bright-eyed Master Qi nodded frequently with a smile, and then withdrew from the box with his face forward and hips back.

When Master Qi left with a flattering face, Du Wanling frowned and asked suspiciously, "Who are these people, and why do you know us so well?" ”

"Hehe, rats have rat paths, snakes have snake roads, and those who open restaurants are three sects and nine streams, and they listen to all directions, what do you know!" He Weiguo snorted casually.

Du Wanling looked at He Weiguo with a strange and indifferent look, and felt that it was very necessary to pull up her sleeves: "Weiguo, they are all leading cadres, you have to pay attention!" ”

"Hey!" He Weiguo rolled his eyes, only to feel that Du Wanling was a little nervous and fussed: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." When the economy develops, people like the one you see will not be a minority in the future. ”

Looking at He Yi'an, who was sitting silently on the side, without saying a word, He Weiguo smiled indifferently: "Yi'an, this is what Dad wants to tell you, what you are experiencing now is a golden period, if the college entrance examination can recover in the next step, you must be admitted to college for me." ”

The couple chattered a little, He Yi'an didn't understand it, and kept silent quietly, and then nodded and said, "I told my mother, I have this plan!" ”

"Well, that's good!" He Weiguo bowed his head with great satisfaction, and then put on a far-sighted and thorough posture: "Young people should look farther, I estimate that the next development center of our country is not a heavy industrial city like the Northeast, let alone our deserted Northwest." Do you know where it is? It's in the big cities along the coast. Wanling, you have to work hard in the next step, and our development will go to the east and southeast. ”

I have to say that He Weiguo has his own unique vision and outstanding views on the pattern of national development, otherwise he would not have climbed to a high position at the deputy department level with a single leap. A few years later, the economy developed by leaps and bounds, and the pace of rapid development confirmed his conjectures and inferences at the moment.

However, the dead wood is still recurring in spring, and people are no longer young.
