Yan Jiecheng came back from Luo Gong's house and saw He Yushui wandering in the front yard.

Then he smiled and said, "You stupid water, what are you doing here?" ”

He Yushui glanced at him angrily.

He looked at the big innocent eyes of the rain, and Yan Jiecheng was embarrassed to joke anymore, so he stopped the bicycle, carried the box in his hand and said:

"Sit down in the room."

Yan Jiecheng opened the door and put the box in his hand on the table.

Two glasses of water were poured from the thermos, one was given to the rain, and the other he drank himself.

After all, it's also tiring to ride a bike from West Side to East Side.

"Damn, there's no class today. How did you get back? ”

Yan Jiecheng asked.

He Yushui didn't answer his words, just looked at him and said, "Why, don't tell me if you want to leave." Yan Xie Chengling is too unconscionable. ”

"Hey, look at what you said, it's not like I'm not coming back, it's been a year and a half, do I tell people all over the street that I'm going to the northwest."

He Yushui is angry here, and this Yan Jiecheng is too angry.

How can I rain rain to you as a pedestrian on the street?

Don't have a place in your heart?

It's all rubbed up, and it's still like this.

"Yan Jiecheng, do you know why you are so annoying? It's just that your mouth is too annoying. ”

Yan Jiecheng looked at He Yushui blankly and said, "No, everyone in our unit likes me very much, especially one named Chen Hanliang." ”

He Yushui directly threw a scarf to Yan Xie and said, "I heard that it is cold in winter over there, and the wind and sand are usually strong, so I knitted a scarf for you, and you can keep it if you want to wear it." After saying that, he went out in a rage.

Yan Jiecheng looked at He Yushui's back and sighed helplessly.

Looking at the scarf in his hand, the weaving was messy, and the ugly one was to death.

I thought about it, but I put it in my luggage.

He had a lot of luggage, four suitcases.

A bamboo suitcase contains some personal items, such as pen, ink and paper.

There was also a wooden box sent by Luo Gong, and Yan Jiecheng sorted out the manuscripts of the documents inside.

I put the manuscripts that I didn't need and the manuscripts of Master Zhan at home, so that the box was half empty.

After Xu Damao heard about it with Lou Xiao'e, he also sent him two suitcases, which looked very generous.

Xu Damao also gave two bottles of Moutai, saying that he wanted Yan Jiecheng to drink on the way.

The two of them regretted that the day of departure was too tense, and Yan Jiecheng had too many things to prepare, so the two of them didn't have time to have a good drink.

I had to make an appointment for a reception.

At night, Yan Bugui's family gathered together, but no one spoke, and the three mothers couldn't help wiping their tears.

"Big brother, they all said that you were leaving our house, don't you want to look at it?"

Seeing the little milk baby, Yan Jiecheng asked in a milky voice, Yan Jiecheng touched Yan Jiecheng's little face and said, "Brother is going on a business trip, and when you grow taller, my brother will come back." ”

Then Yan Jiecheng said to the second brother Yan Jiefang: "Big brother, this time, I have been going for a long time, and I may not come back for the New Year."

You have to help your parents take care of the third and fourth children. ”

Yan Jiecheng saw Yan Jiefang nodding, and said: "You can't fall behind in learning, otherwise when I come back, I will learn from the second master of the middle court." ”

Yan Jiecheng clenched his fists as he spoke.

Frightened, Yan Jiefang immediately promised to be obedient.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help frowning when he looked at him, this guy is unreliable when he looks at it.

The three mothers endured the sadness in their hearts and prepared food for Yan Jiecheng on the road tomorrow.

Only then did the father and son avoid the two little ones and talk in the east wing.

"Xie Cheng, these days are getting tighter and tighter, the food that our family saved last year is estimated to be able to survive, don't worry about it at home.

It's just that you've gone over there, what can you do if you don't have someone to take care of?

You remember that no matter what happens, life is the most important thing.

When it matters, you can give up everything, and life matters. ”

Yan Jiecheng also nodded.

Yan Bugui saw it and said, "You guy takes everything with him, and he doesn't go out as much as at home." ”

Yan Xie Cheng opened the drawer and took out the Browning, as well as two magazines and another sixty rounds.

Yan Jiecheng's gun license had long since been replaced by the one issued by the headquarters.

After all, this year is still the name of the iron boss.

I also shot targets many times at the headquarters before, after all, the learning talent is there, and now it can be said that I can hit every shot.

The headquarters shooting range is extremely formal, after all, most of the people in the headquarters are from military backgrounds, and it is not too much to have a small pistol from Minister Teng to Yan Jie.

Yan Bugui watched Yan Jiecheng skillfully disassemble the pistol and nodded with satisfaction.

sighed: "In this world, sometimes a gun is better than a mouth." ”

After Yan Jiecheng put away the pistol, he said to Yan Bugui: "Dad, I estimate that this hard life has just begun.

Let me tell you alone, don't spread the word, many projects in our department have been canceled this year, which means that the problem is more serious than we thought.

In the future, the supply will be less and less, you look at the food hidden at home, and use it for three years.

Don't leak the rich, just guard against the people in the courtyard, anything will happen if you are hungry. ”

Although Yan Jiecheng believed in Yan Bugui in this regard, he still couldn't help but admonish.

Yan Bugui listened, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Don't worry, no one can take advantage of me."

In the past, I couldn't collect a single grain from our house.

As for these local chickens and dogs in the yard, a group of reckless people is even worse. ”

"You, don't be careless, be careful of overturning in the gutter.

Then Yi Zhonghai is shrewd. ”

Seeing that Yan Bugui understood, Yan Jiecheng stopped talking nonsense.

He moved on to something else.

"Dad, the original apprentice Fan Jinjun will get married on the 11th of next month, and I can't go here, you can help me go."

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "Is that the guy who delivered the bicycle?" ”

"Yes, I didn't come here to prepare a gift in a hurry, this is a ten-pound national food stamp, you can help me hand it over to him when the time comes, you can take this dollar and buy two more hot water bottles."

For Fan Jinjun, Yan Jiecheng could only say sorry.

The father and son told each other, and the three mothers over there had already prepared things and were calling them.

"Boss, these are the ten eggs I boiled, and I steamed a few steamed buns, and then take this jar of pickles for you to eat on the way." The three mothers put things into a bamboo frame and said.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the eggs and white-flour steamed buns in the frame, and his heart was also moved.

Seeing Yan Xie staring at him, Yan Xie Cheng picked up an egg and gave it to her, saying, "Come, give you one to eat." ”

"I don't want it, my mother said it was for your big brother to eat on the road."

Seeing that the little milk baby was so sensible, Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "It's okay, my brother still has it." ”

Seeing that Yan Jiefang would also run over, Yan Jiecheng held back the rolling word in his mouth and said, "Here, you also have one." ”

simply gave Yan Xie Kuang another one.

Yan Bugui saw it and didn't speak.

The three mothers sighed, took out the three remaining eggs from the pot, and put them in the bamboo basket.

grabbed Yan Jiefang's ears and said, "You can't hold two taels of oil in your dog's belly, I originally left an egg for one of you here, ready to eat tomorrow morning."

Isn't it a waste that you've all eaten at night? ”

Yan Xie Cheng also smiled when he saw this.

The next day, it was dawn.

Yan Bugui and his wife got up.

Today they are going to send Yan Jiecheng to take the car.

The three mothers got up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast for the father and son.

After Yan Jiecheng and Yan Bugui had breakfast, they tied all their luggage to their bicycles, and then pushed them out.

Out of the courtyard gate, a bright light suddenly shone over, and both father and son were blinded by the strong light.

After a while, Yan Xie Cheng took a closer look, and it turned out to be Luo Gong's car.

The driver also got out of the car and walked up to Yan Jiecheng and said, "Director Yan, Luo Lao arranged for me to take you to the station." ”

Yan Jiecheng was also happy, and said, "It's troublesome Brother Zhang." ”

Several people carried their luggage to the car, and Yan Bugui pushed the bicycle back home.

Only then did he follow Yan Jiecheng into the car.

Along the way, Yan Bugui sat cautiously, for fear that he would sit badly.

Yan Xie Cheng was amused when he saw Yan Bugui like this.

Thinking: I'm afraid the old man doesn't have the capital to brag again.

When I arrived at the train station, the genius gradually brightened.

Moved the luggage out of the car, and the driver, Brother Zhang, left.

Yan Jiecheng looked at the station they built, and he also sighed in his heart, he didn't expect him to have a day as a passenger.

There were some stalls in the station square, and Yan Xie Cheng saw that there were oranges, and his heart was also in a trance.

The two waited in the square in front of the station for a while, and then saw Lao Xie.

Lao Xie's daughter-in-law is a middle-aged woman who looks shrewd and capable, which will help Lao Xie carry a large bag.

Yan Xie Cheng hurriedly greeted him, and after the two converged, they walked towards the waiting area of the station.

There were not many people in the waiting area early in the morning, so the two of them found a sofa and put their luggage on the edge of the sofa.

For example, this train station has a special sofa for resting, and it is also the only one in the country.

Yan Bugui and Lao Xie's daughter-in-law were reluctant to leave, so they had to send the two of them on the train.

So this will stay in the station as well.

The two of them were also shocked by the majestic appearance of the station.

Ask some questions from time to time, Yan Jiecheng and Lao Xie are also old acquaintances at this station, of course they can answer them well.

After a while, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came not far from Yan Jiecheng and them, who was also listening with interest.

Yan Jiecheng didn't care either, just a curious young man.

The two of them were on a train from Beijing to Xijing at eight o'clock, and it was still early.

Yan Jiecheng specially found the station guard and registered the guns he carried.

After all, if you bring this thing in public, you still have to report it.

On the way, I met the stationmaster Gu, and the two chatted a few words.

After Yan Jiecheng completed the formalities and met with Lao Xie and them in the waiting area, time was running out.

After a while, a station staff member whispered in front of Yan Jiecheng: "Director Yan, our stationmaster ordered, let me take you to our staff passage to take the train first, otherwise there will be too many people and too crowded for a while." ”

Of course, Yan Xie was happy and quiet, glanced at Lao Xie, and then got up to pack his luggage.

After a while, several people arrived at the hard sleeper car where they were.

Only then did he say goodbye to Yan Bugui.

"Dad, go back quickly, don't worry, I'll take care of myself. After a while, there are too many people to squeeze in. ”

The two said goodbye to their relatives and began to pack their bags.

Place your belongings in the luggage rack one by one.

"Hello leader, I am the conductor of our car, do you need help?"

Just as the two of them finished cleaning up and were about to sit and rest for a while, a middle-aged man dressed in the railway system stood at the entrance of their hard sleeper box and asked.

"Comrade conductor, we're all fine here, I'm sorry for you." Yan Jiecheng said politely.

"Leader, don't bother, the stationmaster of Qiangu specially told me to get on the train."

Only then did Yan Jiecheng understand that it was originally the arrangement of the stationmaster Gu.

So it makes sense.

When the stationmaster Gu told the conductor, he didn't say anything specific, but just said that he was the leader from the headquarters.

That's why the conductor is so careful.

"You go get busy, I'll look for you if I have a problem here."

The conductor was a little anxious when he saw that he didn't help the leader, and when he saw the time for boarding passengers, he left helplessly.

Lao Xie looked at Yan Jiecheng's thoughtful look, and said with a smile: "Director, I'm afraid our comrade train conductor is still muttering." I can't figure out what level we are. ”

There was a burst of laughter.

Yan Jiecheng also smiled knowingly.

Stationmaster Gu is a department-level cadre, and the headquarters leader in his mouth can still make the train captain not care.

After a while, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who met in the waiting area also got into the car.

Coincidentally, they were in a sleeper room with Yan Jie.

There was a long whistle, and the train clattered.

After the train started, several people also got acquainted.

This young man's surname is Tian, a top student of Renmin University, who worked in the propaganda department for two years after graduation, and found it boring.

Only then did he apply to return to his hometown Huangyuan area to work.

The Huangyuan region is located in the north of Qindi, bordering the Jin region in the east and Gan Province in the west.

This place is a typical Loess Plateau.

"Russia is just not convinced, why do we people have to suffer so much. That's why Russia asked to be transferred to the locality.

Work hard, Russia must let the villagers and township parties change from black buns to yellow buns. ”

On the train, Xiao Tian talked about his ideals to everyone, and his biggest ideal was to let the people have enough to eat.

Yan Jiecheng's heart was very heavy when he listened to his ideal, he knew that Xiao Tian's ideal was difficult to realize at present.

I hope that the setbacks of reality will not knock down this cadre who wants to do practical things.

"Xiao Tian, how old is my brother and you, and there are a few words that don't vomit or be unhappy.

When you first arrive at the grassroots level, you should watch and listen more, talk less, and never be reckless. ”

Yan Jiecheng watched Lao Xie persuade Xiao Tian there, and his heart suddenly laughed.

Since ancient times, doers have had a reluctance not to look back until they reach Nanshan, which is so easy to listen to persuasion.

"Hey, don't talk about it, where are you going with Brother Xie and this little brother?"

Xiao Tian looked at the two of them carefully, they didn't look like cadres, and they did know a lot, but they also needed to be cadres in the sleeper to sit in these years, so he was still a little confused.

"We went to the Qingyang area of Gan Province, just like you." Lao Xie said with a smile.

Yan Jiecheng watched the two of them talk, while feeling the characteristics of trains in this era.

Bang

Yan Jiecheng listened to the sound while counting the numbers.

The number between the two clangs is his count.

According to this, he mentally calculated the actual speed of the train.

Yan Xie let out a long sigh, and his speed was only between forty and fifty kilometers at this time.

From here to Xijing is at least 13,400 kilometers, and the speed is afraid that it will take 35 hours to go up, plus the stop time at the intermediate station, it is estimated that it will take more than 10 hours.

So they need to take the train for three days.

You must know that this is a steam locomotive, and you can see the billowing smoke from the window.

The smell of soot was everywhere on the train.

So, riding in a car is really torture.

It is an ordeal of mind and body.
