Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 323 I came to the capital to have some fun

"Dad, here, here."

"dad!"

As soon as Hong Delao and his party got off the train, Yang Xiong and Yang Songnan shouted excitedly.As for Yang Shuning's third uncle Yang Zhengyi and Yang Lu, who came to pick him up, they seemed a bit bland.
After Yang Shuning learned that Hong Delao and his group from his hometown were coming to the capital, Yang Shuning asked Yang Lu to notify Yang Xiong and Yang Songnan.Yang Xiong and Yang Songnan were extremely excited when they found out, because they had already lived in the capital, worked and settled down in the capital. After Yang Shuning arranged jobs for them after leaving their hometown, they rarely returned to Zhuji.

Money is secondary, the main reason is that it is difficult to get leave.Yang Xiong was a little better. As a teacher, he still had winter and summer vacations. Unfortunately, it was a pity to go back. Yang Songnan would find it difficult to ask for leave.So being able to see their fathers in the capital this time can be regarded as satisfying part of their wish to see their families again.Partly because their mother and siblings didn't come.

"Dad, you guys are too thrifty. When you go out, write me a letter. The telegrams are all for Uncle Zhengyi. Fortunately, Brother Shu Ning asked us to come over. Otherwise, if you are unfamiliar with this place, where would you go to find us? ah."

After Yang Xiong and Hong Delao and his son hugged each other, they began to complain.

"That's right, you guys don't need to save money on telegrams."

Yang Songnan naturally started talking.He and Wang Jie would send ten yuan to their father every month so that his father could support the family's expenses, but they really couldn't save this little money on telegrams.

The elder Hong Delao and his party came with five people. The village party secretary Hong Delao, the village director, and the town's armed forces minister came here on behalf of the town and the village branch committee and village committee. As for Yang Songnan's father, he took the opportunity to follow. Another person who came was Yang Zhuo's father, Yang Boxheng.

"Minister He, village chief, Bo Sheng, hello. I haven't seen you in many years."

As the director of the Comprehensive Management Office of the street, Yang Zhengyi was familiar with dealing with people, so naturally he would not neglect the other three people.Yang Zhengyi was also a little surprised. Ten years later, the head of the town's Armed Forces Department was still Minister He, and the village chief was still the same.It seems that Minister He may have suffered a lot in the past ten years. Not to mention his hair has turned a lot grayer, and his figure is also much thinner than before. He probably just returned to his post some time ago.

"I'm not doing this to save some money. After all, telegrams are expensive. Besides, when Brother Zhengyi finds out, they will definitely tell you."

Mr. Hong De didn't pay attention to his son's complaints, and actually enjoyed his son's filial complaints.

"Hunde, let's go to the guest house."

Hong Delao was Yang Zhengyi's cousin, and Yang Zhengyi did not need to use his honorific title. After the two pairs of father and son finished greetings, they asked the group to go to the guest house.

"Dear uncles and brothers, Brother Shu Ning is busy with work during the day and really can't spare the time to greet you. Let's get in the car quickly. The leader has already arranged the car and the car is already waiting for us." Yang Lu looked at it Looking at the watch, the time has reached ten o'clock. I will send Hong Delao and his party to the guest house later. After lunch, it will be a good time for the group to take a lunch break to replenish the energy lost on the train.

"Come on, let's take a ride in the car for a while. Those three cars look better than those in our county. We also have a chance to take a ride this time."

Although Minister He was chatting with Yang Zhengyi before, he did not have his son present, so he naturally hoped to rest early. After all, the feeling on the train was not pleasant, not to mention that their group was not high enough, so they could only survive on hard seats.

Today's hard-seat train carriages are not like what will happen in the future. Today's trains will stop at each platform. Large and small platforms represent large and small cities, towns and even larger rural areas. They are the most affordable and convenient long-distance transportation. , the flow of people on this hard-seat carriage was more than that of the Beijing subway during the morning rush hour in later generations, and many people would use poles to carry some chickens and ducks for sale on the train. Readers can imagine the smell in the carriage.

(My father told me something. When he took a long-distance train, he had to stand because he didn't buy a seat. The whole journey lasted 28 hours. Because there were too many people and he was stepped on all the time, he could only stand and stare. Fortunately, there are so many people that it’s so crowded that you don’t need to exert too much effort on your toes. Not to mention you can’t rest along the way, you can’t eat, you can’t even urinate, and you won’t have the chance to solve your physiological problems until you get to the station.)
Just on the platform of the train station, three military vehicles arranged by Yang Shuning were parked.Following Yang Zhengyi's words, Minister He also took the lead, pulling several people towards the car.

"Minister He, Mr. Hong De, you can represent the town and the village to come to the capital to visit everyone this time, so that those of us wandering in the capital can receive the warmth from our hometown."

Yang Zhengyi felt strange in his heart. It was okay for Mr. Hong De to come to the capital. After all, his son was here, and he could even come on behalf of the village. But what was Minister He doing here?Could it be that he really came to the capital to ask Yang Shuning for something?Although there are many thoughts in his heart, his words are full of human feelings and sophistication.

However, his idea was quickly dismissed by Minister He.

"Zhengyi, I also heard that Secretary Hongde was coming to the capital, so I came with him while there were many people. Who doesn't yearn for the capital? Tiananmen, the Great Hall of the People... so many places, I want to see them too. look."

"Besides, Secretary Hong De and the others are not familiar with the place. I have traveled far away, so I can show them the way. I can, and I can also take time out in the name of official business to come and see our great capital. In the capital, play for fun!"

Minister He was very honest, saying that he just came here to have fun with Mr. Hong De.People of this era do not yearn for Shanghai or other places, but they yearn for the capital, where they come to see the great buildings and great men in their minds.

"Minister He, judging from what you said, we are very happy that you can come. Don't worry, you will definitely come back satisfied with this trip to the capital."

Yang Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. After all, whether it was Minister He's private affairs or official business in the town, it had nothing to do with the Yang family. If Minister He really wanted to ask for something, refusing would make him look stingy, no. Reject it. In fact, I really don’t want to give it to him.We had no contact with each other before, except in the name of being a fellow villager.

"Hong De, Xiao Ning has arranged a guest house for you, but Yang Xiong just told me that he wants you to stay at his house. You can make up your own mind on where to stay when you are on the way. You will have dinner at the guest house later. Just decide it yourself.”

It turned out that before they came, Yang Xiong said that his father was here and there was no reason to stay in a guest house. Didn't this mean that he, Yang Xiong, was unfilial!
