Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 94 Undercurrent
"...At that time, even your sister and I may not be able to help you."

Ai Muzhen tried hard to guide, waiting for the girl Zhou Wen to take the bait.

"Sister, what do you mean, can I help you now? Tell me quickly, sister, how can we help our family solve this hidden danger?"

Hey, isn't this coming? The fish is hooked.

"Let my brother-in-law change jobs. I have something to do with the scientific research institute. Let my brother-in-law go there. His status has changed from a worker to a researcher. Some high-tech inventions will not be so conspicuous..."

As for which scientific research institute it is, laymen just listen to it, and most of them really don't understand it.

At least at this moment, the research institute that Ai Mulin is talking about has nothing to do with the titles of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and aerospace.

"This... such a powerful job as a scientist... can Old Wei do it?" Zhou Wen hesitated.

Although she admires her man very much, the cognition of scientists in this era is quite high-end and sacred.

Otherwise, even in the 30s 90 years later, the first choice of children's wishes is scientists.

"What about the vigor just now, don't underestimate our brother-in-law."

Ai Muzhen started talking, seeing that there was something going on, so he quickly started to cheer up Xiaowen.

"You should know that the invention of the gas stove can continue to earn foreign exchange for our country. My brother-in-law's first contribution, don't look at a small gas stove. There is a lot of technology in it, and many of them are in the whole country, no, all over the world. They are all patents, do you know what a patent is?"

The rise of Ai Muzhen's words seemed to be eloquent.

"The first one in the world, others have to pay for it if they use these technologies... Without these credits, you really think that the functional departments of our country are just decorations... He is tossing about air conditioners and wild boars, how dare he Building a small building in my own courtyard... Is nothing wrong with it? Let me tell you, before we met, my brother-in-law's report letter was almost three fingers thick..."

Three fingers thick, usually used to describe fat pigs, but it was actually used to describe Wei Pingan's report letter...

I really didn't think of this.

Wei Pingan himself thought that what he did was restrained and low-key.

In fact, he knew that he was not a gangster, so from the perspective of rotten meat in the pot, let him play first.

It's like cutting leeks, let you grow up first, and when it's time to harvest, you can take it off instantly...

However, during the growth of this leek, I was lucky, and more vegetable farmers were eyeing it. After discussing it, I may think that this leek is growing well, so I don’t want to cut it. It’s better to keep it as a seed...

Zhou Wen was taken aback, but then he was greatly relieved.

This shows that his own man is capable, and apart from worrying, he is also deeply proud.

Contributing to the country is the most proud thing for contemporary youth.

The two sisters chatted until they were called into the house by the old lady for dinner.

"Ping An hasn't come back so late, don't tell me something happened?"

Mrs. Zhang asked worriedly.

"Grandma, my brother-in-law is in charge of receiving foreign guests today. I guess he is going to have dinner with them in a big hotel. Besides eating delicious food, what can happen?"

"At most, I can eat enough to fill my stomach..."

Zhou Wen added a sentence.

puff.

Zhou Zimo laughed out loud.

The old lady shook her head and patted Xiao Ai.

The granddaughter is pregnant, and the old lady dare not slap her indiscriminately.

……

at the same time.

In a villa in a certain army compound.

Li Qing's mother and Wang Lei's mother were sitting on the sofa, beside a middle-aged man in military uniform, sitting upright with his hands on his knees.

"After so many days of investigation, this is the result of the investigation?"

Since Li Qing and Wang Lei left the city that night, they seemed to have disappeared.

Originally, according to the instructions, I would call every other day at the latest to talk about the itinerary and report on safety.

After all, the more remote the place outside, the less safe it is, and the two of them have something on their backs, so they can't make a big show of it, otherwise accidents are easy to happen.

This time they had a head-to-head encounter. In order to keep their children, the two of them also made great efforts. While guarding against their opponents, they also had to guard against their "partners" in their own camp.

However, Wang Lei and Li Qing disappeared.

Since then there has been no news.

People were arranged on several possible roads, but there were no traces.

Both families panicked immediately.

The grandfather of the older generation of Li Qing's family even moved into the nursing home in a hurry.

Their family's favorite only seedling.

The men of the two families are quite sensible, and the investigation methods are relatively restrained, but the investigations have been fruitless.

Although no result is the best result so far, the two mothers are not happy.

The distance between the two families is not far, and they knew each other in the past but did not have a close relationship. This time, because of the child, the two mothers spied on many times, and they actually got a little in tune.

It can be said that they smell like each other.

"Are you going to investigate not only the outside, but also the inside?"

"This one……"

"Find out what Li Qing was doing during the time before his accident, and what's special about it."

"Well, let's also check if anything special happened during the period when Wang Lei was forgotten, and in the city within three days after they left..."

The two mothers exhausted all the details that could be imagined.

It's like digging three feet into the ground to find out the truth.

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange for someone to investigate."

……

When Ye Wenxiu returned home, she couldn't wait to describe her experience and feelings this afternoon to her parents.

Like a little girl.

She was completely amazed by Wei Pingan's inadvertent talent.

Even very much looking forward to the next few days.

Ye Wenxiu's parents were surprised by the change from one to the other.

My daughter has been very proud since she was a child, and it was the first time she praised someone so much, and she was... a man.

The couple looked at each other, both worried.

Free love is good, but without the investigation and inquiry of parents, I always feel uneasy.

In the next few days, Wei Pingan took a few big foreign boys and wandered around the scenic spots and historic sites and the streets and alleys of the capital.

Sure enough, it lived up to expectations.

Demonstrated to Chen Jun, Liu Zhiyong and Ye Wenxiu a standard director's explanation and reception method for foreign guests.

Before Wei Ping'an took over Ferdinand and the others, Ye Wenxiu was the interpreter and lead commentator, taking them to the Forbidden City.

But just in the casual chat, not to mention a few foreigners, even Chen Jun and the others have once again become very interested in the Forbidden City.

The charm of language is really irresistible.

"There is a stone box and a stone pavilion on both sides of the Taihe Gate. The stone box can be opened, and some grains and gold thread ornaments will be placed in it, symbolizing the harvest of the five grains and the society of the country. The stone pavilion has a card inside. The month plate is usually placed in the trough, and whenever the emperor issues an edict, he must first put the edict in the pavilion, so the stone pavilion is also called the edict pavilion..."

Elliott said they didn't pay attention at the time, and now they want to see if there is something in it.

"The one on the west side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is called Hongyi Pavilion. It used to be the treasury of the Qing Dynasty. Gold, silver and treasures were kept there. At that time, the eunuchs had to take off their clothes when they went in to carry it, and left it for theft..."

"Those small white stones in the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were used as ceremonial piers when the emperor went out. In ancient times, when the emperor left the palace or held a grand dynasty, he couldn't come out by wandering around or sneaking out alone, but to show Huangwei must have a set of honor guards called "Fajialu Book". Those who hold banners, tokens, and ritual vessels are majestic; holding the chairs and urinals that the emperor wants to use, they are still majestic. There is a person on the white block..."

Benson expressed a little impression, but he didn't read the whole thing, and wanted to take a closer look.

"...During the Qing Dynasty, these squares would be placed with things similar to iron blocks, and the scientific name was "grade mountain". At that time, officials, large and small, stood in rows according to the rank of the square..."

Well, foreigners are even more curious.

"The Forbidden City has a depth of 7-8 meters, in order to prevent thieves from digging tunnels to enter..."

"On the Longzong Gate plaque on the west side of the Baohe Hall, there is an arrowhead from 1813... It is the arrowhead left by the eunuchs in the Forbidden City during the "Tianli Sect" uprising in the 18th year of Jiaqing. After a fierce battle, Emperor Jiaqing Ordered to leave this arrow to alert myself..."

This... Liu Zhiyong scratched his head.

Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many places did not do a good job. The Foreign Affairs Office was responsible for receiving foreign guests. At present, they only valued the experience of studying abroad and foreign languages, especially Russian.

This is why it is a bit blind to receive American reporters.

The best translator is to follow the big leaders.

"The stone sculpture of Yunlong behind the Palace of Preserving Harmony, a whole piece weighing more than 300 tons..."

"The gilt lion with drooping ears in front of the Qianqing Gate, because the Qianqing Gate is the gateway to the harem, the purpose of the lion's pug posture is to warn the harem, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't inquire about what you shouldn't inquire... "

Dominique said that he was walking too fast and didn't pay attention to the lion's ears.

"...there are 13844 dragon patterns and dragon carvings inside and outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony..."

Okay, now, the big guys who are eating Jiaoquan and drinking soybean juice are not calm anymore, and have the urge to run to count them.

Well, what Wei Pingan drank was tofu nao, and he had no luck digesting this miraculous meal of tofu juice.

"The cranes and dragon tortoises outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony symbolize immortality and longevity. The inside is hollow and is used for burning incense when the emperor registers, appoints a queen, or issues edicts..."

Ferdinand said that he should have knocked at that time, as if he knew how much space there is and how to burn incense...

So, after dinner, the group went to the Forbidden City for the second time.

Some places of interest and scenic spots in the back are accompanied by snacks specially arranged by Wei Pingan, such as going to the Longfu Temple in Dongcheng for snacks, and visiting the scenic spots in that direction...

Go to Huguo Temple for snacks in Xicheng, just go there.

There are also Jinfang snacks in Chongwen, and Nanlaishun in Xuanwu...

I don't know what the principle of other people's itinerary is, Wei Ping'an follows the principle of the four famous snacks in the future capital...

This arrangement solved the four-day itinerary at once.

Make all arrangements traceable, easy and efficient.

Moreover, these foreign guests are also very happy.

They saw the different spirits of ordinary people in the capital, and enjoyed the basic necessities of ordinary people.

What I saw and heard was very novel, very surprising, very obsessed...

After visiting the Forbidden City the next day, Wei Pingan took them to the shop in Dashilan and got the customized "group uniform".

On the third day, when a group of people were eating breakfast in Nanlaishun with great interest, they were all "fashionable people" wearing half-sleeved white T-shirts with Chinese characters embroidered on the left chest, dark blue jeans, and old capital mille-soled cloth shoes. "Are.

Chen Jun was very happy to see the foreign friends, he kept giving thumbs up, and took pictures with everyone to commemorate.

Among them, the one with dark brown curly hair is particularly active, clamoring to order a few more sets to take home, and to share them with his other friends in the United States...

Well, this is an international event, very important.

After all, the word "China" is written on the T-shirt.

But they actually like this kind of...

Kind of weird.

"Actually, we can consider asking the Ministry of Commerce to make finished clothes based on this pattern for export trade. I believe it can earn a lot of foreign exchange..."

After finishing speaking, Wei Pingan almost slapped himself in the mouth.

It's just that Chen Jun and Liu Zhiyong didn't seem to be paying attention to Wei Ping'an's words, and they seemed to have missed them.

It was Benson who became interested, and discussed a lot with Wei Pingan along the way... Well, the way of cooperation.

Ye Wenxiu heard it, but she didn't know what the purpose was. She didn't translate Benson's opinion and Wei Pingan's catering.

Xiao Nizi also has her own thoughts.

When not breaking the rules and not touching the bottom line, he also chooses to self-shield some things, so as not to cause trouble for the elder brother Wei whom he admires.

"Well, when we part at night, I'll find an opportunity to remind Brother Wei. After all, the international situation is at stake, and I don't want to see Brother Wei go wrong."

Ye Wenxiu thought silently.

……

After going out early and returning late for several consecutive days, there was no one in the rolling mill. The family working in the rolling mill in the courtyard began to quietly talk about Wei Ping'an again.

"Master, what happened to Wei Ping'an again? Didn't you hear the announcement from the loudspeaker in the factory?"

Jia Dongxu disliked Wei Ping'an the most.

The daughter-in-law is still so capable and got a good job as a policeman.

Some have pink eye.

"I don't know, you should go ask the workers in the third workshop tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai was also a little curious, but he had an unpleasant quarrel with Wei Ping'an's family before, and Wei Ping'an threw him in the face in front of the general meeting of the hospital.

It's not easy to knock on the door to ask.

As for the old lady and the kid in his family, what do you know.

He Yuzhu's family in Beiwu also murmured.

"Brother, did something happen to Big Brother Wei? I came back today and heard what they said in the front yard, saying that Big Brother Wei hasn't gone to work in the factory for several days."

"Go, go, the affairs of Wei Ping'an's family are bothering you, don't inquire about their family's affairs. Hmph, if something really happens, let's have fun..."

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong reprimanded his two sons for not living up to expectations.

Liu Haizhong had very strict requirements on the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, to the point of being picky.

It's like not really discipline the children, but an excuse to beat them by hand.

On the opposite side, Lou Xiao'e was alone at home, and Xu Damao went to the countryside to show a movie again.

She could go back to her mother's house for a few days, but she also wanted to go to Wei Ping'an's house to chat with Zhou Wen.

She also wanted to know the real result of the news that Wei Ping'an was fired from the rolling mill in the courtyard.

The deaf old lady has already fallen asleep, similar to Yan Bugui's house in the front yard, and they don't pay much attention to Wei Pingan's affairs now.

One is for the sake of Zhang's sister, so I don't care.

One is worrying about how to ease the relationship between the old couple and their eldest son Yan Jiecheng and daughter-in-law Yu Li.

After all, it doesn't matter if the house is not taken or rented, and the money collected before has not been refunded.

Can't tell.

Yan Laoxi has been worrying about finding excuses for the past two days, so he can't care about Wei Ping'an's family.

Perhaps only the old man Li, who is open-minded in his heart, knows the whole story best.

When there were such rumors the first day, he asked Mrs. Zhang and learned that he was seconded to entertain foreign guests.

Old Li knows that Wei Ping'an has great abilities.

Diligent and eager to learn, he knows the basics, and among the books he collected back then, there was no shortage of foreign languages ​​like tadpoles.

But he knew that he knew it, but he didn't like to tell the other family. He heard the other family's secret talk, and he just listened to it with a smile.

Sometimes I also analyze and discuss with others in a serious manner.

This old man is also listless.

Today I took them to climb the Badaling Great Wall. Through Wei Pingan's explanation, they felt the magnificence of the Great Wall and the Ming Dynasty's determination to resist foreign enemies.

According to what Chen Jun said before leaving, tomorrow is the last day of reception.

Wei Ping'an closed his notebook. This is an English work he "wrote" during this period of time, and he planned to ask Benson.

Benson is going to work at the Broadway branch of Reuters, and he plans to cooperate with Wei Pingan to make new clothes...

Although the matter of clothes is absurd, Benson can help with the publication of some western literature.

Moreover, Wei Pingan asked Chen Jun and got a clear reply today, which is not against the rules.

You must know that a writer won an international literary award the year before...
