The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 405 Curiosity

The plane is not big, and there are fewer passengers. Even dozens of seats are still not full, but the presence of Li Qian and Li Rui makes Li Weidong's family particularly conspicuous.

Looking at the other passengers on the plane, Li Weidong combined the memories of two lifetimes and found no familiar faces, but the stars and olive branches on their shoulders made Li Weidong dare not underestimate them.

Liu Jinhui next to her was even a little nervous. She had never seen such a battle before. There were not many people like them in ordinary clothes on the whole plane.

"Colonel Liu, did I misunderstand the word family?" Even the thick-skinned Li Weidong was a little embarrassed, and turned to Colonel Liu who was across the aisle.

"I have reported it to the leader, and everything is according to your wishes!" Colonel Liu looked at the surrounding situation and said in a low voice.

According to the literal meaning, family members are understood as family members other than what I think, but in some contexts, they only refer to lovers and objects, which depends on how they are understood.

When Li Weidong said yesterday, Colonel Liu felt something was wrong. Out of prudence and respect, he did not question him on the spot, but he reported to the leader after he left.

At that time, the leader was stunned. It seemed a bit inappropriate to bring a child on such an occasion, but this was also a request made by Li Weidong, and it had to be taken seriously.

Seven years ago, an aircraft carrier worth more than [-] million U.S. dollars was given to the country. They have donated so much money, so it is natural to think carefully and take it seriously when making a request.

And after expert evaluation, the value may be even higher. For example, some drawings and experts were obtained by Li Weidong through special means, and the economic value cannot be measured.

After thinking about it for a while, I think it’s not bad to understand it this way. The Xinhua Dictionary has said so, who can say anything, and with such a big viewing platform, who would care about two children.

"That's good, I'm quite embarrassed!" Li Weidong said with a smile when he heard this reply.

"Dong Li is a free-spirited person, why bother to stick to these details!" Colonel Liu is a member of the coordination team, and he was transferred to work here from the day the aircraft carrier arrived at the port.

I know a lot about the situation of the aircraft carrier, and I was very surprised when I found out that it was a personal donation. The first guess was some patriotic rich people on Hong Kong Island. How can the mainlanders have such strength.

When the leader asked him to come to invite Li Weidong a few days ago, he realized that something was wrong. Except for a few senior leaders, everyone else was a registered military letter and entrusted the local troops to deliver it.

Moreover, there were very few non-military people invited, and even so, they were all responsible persons of relevant state-owned enterprises. To invite someone who is not in the system should be so grand, and anyone knows that there must be something wrong with it.

"Why didn't there be any news about the sea trial, so it was delivered directly. There were some reports a few years ago, but I haven't seen any news about him recently. Why is it so sudden?" Li Weidong asked curiously.

"I can't explain this clearly, but since May last year, the instructions above have changed, and the progress has changed faster!" Colonel Liu said something to Li Weidong after deliberation.

Li Weidong nodded, knowing that this matter was probably a secret again, but there was a change in May last year, and he was somewhat clearer in his heart, and this change is really normal.

As for why not release some news from time to time like later generations, it is estimated that there are more levels to consider, but in Li Weidong's mind, the most important reason is the issue of confidence.

Without decades of development, without a certain economic strength, there will be no confidence in my heart, and I will not be strong in my words.

Li Weidong began to feel the push back, the plane was accelerating, and it could take off when it accelerated to more than 200 per hour. This is also the best time to fly.

Li Weidong stopped talking to Colonel Liu next to him, and held Li Rui's hand, experiencing the feeling of instant acceleration.

"Hurry up?" Li Weidong asked his daughter sitting by the window.

"Hurry up!" Li Rui said excitedly looking at the window. This is not her first time flying by plane, but she is still very excited. This is the innocent look a child should have.

When Li Weidong was in college, he came to the capital for the first time, and it was very novel to take the elevator for the first time. He took it back and forth several times, let alone the plane.

The plane quickly pierced through the clouds and began to fly smoothly, with endless white clouds and bright sunshine.

"Son, look at the color of the clouds outside and the color of the sky?" Li Weidong patted the front seat and said after the plane stabilized.

"Blue sky and white clouds!" Li Qian's originally happy expression immediately collapsed, and he seemed to be remembering the winter vacation homework of the previous two days.

"Don't say a few words!" Liu Jinhui has been adhering to the motto of "people don't teach their children", and expressed dissatisfaction with Li Weidong. A child who was originally very smart is prone to low self-esteem.

In less than an hour, the plane began to descend and landed smoothly at a small airport. Li Weidong wanted to praise the captain. The whole flight process, including the landing, was almost without major bumps.

Li Weidong wanted to be poached here, and he had to buy a plane himself. There are more and more rich people, and everyone has them. He still has to rely on buses to travel. Although it is environmentally friendly, it is inconvenient!

After getting off the plane, a military vehicle picked them up and sent them to a guest house that didn't even have a name. There was no security outside the guest house, but there were only a few soldiers on duty not far away.

"Mr. Li, the conditions are a bit difficult. Take a break first and have lunch later, and I'll call you again!" Colonel Liu opened several rooms with Li Weidong and said politely.

"The conditions are so good. Where is the difficulty? It's very good. You can go to work first, and we will arrange it ourselves!" Li Weidong was very satisfied with the room. Such a guest house and suites are already good, and it is probably prepared for the leaders.

He didn't bring many bodyguards here, Ding Yuan and Dai Mei, according to his opinion, these two people don't need to bring them. If there is a safety problem when we get here, there is no safe place, and the bodyguards come. use.

"As long as you are satisfied, you can take this with you, and you can show it to soldiers on duty if you ask them!" Colonel Liu took out several listing tags from a file bag and said.

Li Weidong took a look and asked curiously, "With this, we can visit around!"

This is what Li Weidong understood. If they are not allowed to go out and give them their documents, even if they have photos, this thing is probably not easy to fake.

"Yes, you are our invited guest. The base area covers a radius of more than ten miles. You can visit as long as there are no special signs. If necessary, we have someone to show you around!" Colonel Liu said with a smile.

These are all within their expectations. Ordinary people are full of curiosity about this kind of jurisdiction, thinking that there will be many secrets in it, and their curiosity makes them want to see it.

In fact, the real secret of the base is not so easy to see. This is the living area. If it is classified as rice or steamed buns, then it is somewhat secret.

Colonel Liu told Li Weidong some precautions and left. Li Weidong asked Ding Yuan to give him a gift.

And he himself was lying on the bed looking at the ID in his hand, humming a little song, very comfortable, but he didn't expect to come to this place one day.

But in the afternoon, I felt a little disappointed after visiting with a soldier. I couldn't even see a warship. If I wasn't wearing a military uniform, no one would think that this was a base.

There is a working meal at noon, and the reception in the evening is a little higher, and the leaders present are of higher rank, but tomorrow's ceremony is very important, and drinking is prohibited.

Although Li Weidong is not included in this list, but when others drink tea and water, you will lower your status if you drink alcohol. Moreover, his attitude towards alcohol is that it is okay to have a small drink, and it is best not to drink it.

The non-drinking dinner naturally ended relatively quickly. It was dark and cold outside at night, and after visiting in the afternoon, Li Weidong had no plans to go out. It was serious to stay in the room with the children.

There is a slightly dilapidated village in the capital city. Of course, this dilapidated village is relatively speaking. The fourth ring road under construction is not far away. This is a rural area within the fourth ring road.

Can the countryside within the Fourth Ring Road still be called a countryside? This is the cornerstone of sudden wealth. If you want to get rich and demolish households, this is the truth!
There is a family in the village. It is very lively tonight, brightly lit, and there are waves of people visiting. The most promising child of their family, Qin Shijun, has returned from abroad.

Qin Shijun served in front of the leaders during the day, and he was almost transparent. He didn't even have the face to toast to the leaders during lunch.

If it weren't for Jiang Zhili, he wouldn't even have the chance to sit at that table. Looking at the person sitting at the main seat talking and laughing, he would never have thought of meeting him again.

If it wasn't for Tong Jiajia's reminder at the airport, he wouldn't have been able to remember who this person was, but the memory of that day was clearly reflected in his mind.

These two little guys who bought and sold houses have already mixed up to this level, and all he has left is to sigh.

Reminded by Tong Jiajia, Liu Dachun also remembered such a thing, but he no longer remembered that there was such a person. At that time, he only had Li Weidong and Tong Jiajia who wanted to steal his job, but he still took the initiative to save face and Qin Shijun. After clinking the cups, it is fate to meet again.

"You are considered half a turtle. You will definitely have a bright future if you follow Mr. Jiang in the future. Work hard!" Liu Dachun patted Qin Shijun on the shoulder after finishing his drink.

At that moment, Qin Shijun felt moved for a while, as if he was praised by the leader, and after calming down a little, he felt a little ironic again.

He graduated from a famous university in China, even if he didn't study abroad, he could be regarded as a high-achieving student. At that time, he must have looked down on Liu Dachun and Tong Jiajia. How could he think that now he and his leader are called brothers and brothers, and they can still pat him on the shoulder and talk. The key is himself. Gratitude was also produced.

Is it true that Feng Shui is turning, or is the change in the country too fast, and he can no longer keep up with the situation!
His family sold a house for him to study abroad, and his parents moved back to live in a private house in Zhugezhuang, their hometown. This was agreed at the time. Although Qin Shijun felt a little indebted to his parents, it was a pity to give up such a good opportunity to study abroad.

Even before returning to China, he had heard from his parents that the original house had been demolished and the price had increased, but he did not regret it, and felt that the job he was looking for now was very good.

With his current income, he will definitely be able to buy a bigger and better house in three to five years, and he is very proud of it. None of his classmates are as promising as him.

But after returning to the capital, this high-spirited spirit has changed. Even the excitement of the neighbors in the neighborhood can't dispel the depression in his heart. Although his face is always smiling, there is still a bit of loss in his eyes.

Knowing son Mo Ruofu, Mr. Qin sent away all the neighbors in the neighborhood, and divided some of the rare gifts Qin Shijun brought from the United States. When he came back, he handed his son a cigarette, and he lit one himself and smoked it. Not to mention.

After Qin Shijun ignited it, he took a puff and told the story of returning to the capital before the old man said, "It's a pity that you have studied for so many years, and you don't understand the reason why people are more angry than people!"

"In the first few years, sometimes I regretted it. The house sold and the price went up, and it kept going up. You, Uncle Li, sometimes laughed at me, saying that my house sold at a loss!"

"At that time, I had to drink two taels a day to fall asleep, and then I figured it out, even if the house doesn't sell, what can I do, maybe it's not as good as it is now!"

Qin Shijun lowered his head and smoked a cigarette. He didn't believe what his father said, nor did he refute it, but just continued to listen.

"At that time, some people got the demolition funds and did not buy a house. They felt that the price of the house could not be increased. They saw that their business was very profitable, so they did business with them. After a few years, they not only spent all the demolition funds, but also owed a buttock of debts. !"

"Look at me, I don't have this trouble. I walk and chat every day, and I don't worry about anything. Now who is saying that my house is sold at a loss, I just laugh twice and let them go!"

"Besides, compared to those of your classmates, you are pretty good. You have found such a good job. I heard you say that this year's bonus can reach [-] US dollars. Who can compare?"

Qin Shijun nodded, and he still recognized this point, and he also knew that he was delusional.

"If you ask me, you're not bad at all. I feel ashamed when people ask you!" Old man Qin took a last puff of his cigarette and pressed the end of it to death in the ashtray.

"What's the matter?" Qin Shijun looked up at his father and asked.

"You are in your thirties, you have a good job, and your income is not low, so you don't sleep a wink. Foreigners are also okay?" Old man Qin asked a little uncomfortably.

Lao Tzu asked his son if he had a partner, but it was not as natural as my mother's question. She always had to turn a corner, but Qin's mother was so focused on her son that she hadn't started to bring up this topic yet.

His son is going to work abroad after graduation, so he is worried that his son will find a foreigner wife for him, and give him a whole mixed-race grandson. Now that he has been working for so many years, let alone a grandson, he doesn’t even have a wife. Now his requirements have been lowered. .

"Dad, I just became President Jiang's secretary. I'm busy with work. I don't have time to think about these things. Let's talk about it after work stabilizes!" Qin Shijun also put out his cigarette and said quickly.

"As long as you know what's in your mind, when the time comes, I will go to the United States to show you the children and see what it's like abroad. I don't want to come back after going out?" Qin Shijun's mother interrupted at this time.

"Fuck you, what you can understand when people speak English, you can't even learn ABC!" When Father Qin said this, he already believed in his heart that his son would not be able to find a Chinese wife.

"That's why I'm going. At that time, my grandson can no longer speak Chinese, so is he still Chinese?" Mrs. Qin is also a strong advocate.

Seeing that his parents were about to quarrel, Qin Shijun didn't care about being depressed anymore, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Mom and Dad, it's already twelve o'clock now, so hurry up and rest, I have to accompany the leader to watch the flag raising tomorrow morning!"

"That's why I have to accompany you well. Isn't your leader from Hong Kong Island? You're quite patriotic and a man!" Mr. Qin is a native of the capital, and he has a high opinion of Jiang Zhili.

For Jiang Zhili, this is not only a manifestation of patriotism, but also partly influenced by Li Weidong.

When he came to the mainland for the first time, Li Weidong asked him to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and Li Weidong's requirements in this regard were quite strict, and he talked about this issue more than once.

So when you come to the capital, you must participate in the flag raising!

The next day was Monday. Such flag-raising ceremonies were held not only in the capital, but also all over the country. Of course, Li Weidong, who was at a certain base in Ludagang, also participated.

Not only did he participate, but there were quite a few people participating at the same time, each with a higher status than the other!
