Chapter 2797 Things Between Men and Women

Tan Shuangxi followed the voice and looked for someone in the crowd. He saw Yang Zhaodi from the same village. She and her mother Zhang Laier were immigrants from Shandong a few years ago. They had met several times when they returned to the village during the holidays. In fact, their relationship can only be regarded as acquaintance, but Tan Shuangxi still felt very happy to see an acquaintance.

Yang Zhaodi looks completely different from the local girls, but she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she is almost as tall as Tan Shuangxi. She wore a large straw hat on her head and a whitish New Year's-style training uniform - she could tell she was a farm employee at a glance. The face under the straw hat is not the dark color of local girls due to long-term sun exposure, but a beautiful honey color. Tan Shuangxi's heart couldn't help but move - in less than two years, this little girl has become so beautiful!

Yang Zhaodi didn't know what Tan Shuangxi was thinking, only the joy after seeing an acquaintance. She squeezed through the crowd and grabbed his sleeve, shaking it excitedly, her two big watery eyes constantly scanning his face and body.

"It's really you! We even made a bet on whether we could meet you!"

"Why are you here? Don't you go to school?" Tan Shuangxi's eyes flicked back and forth to the girl several times. This girl is developing so well! especially……

Yang Zhaodi said excitedly: "I have graduated from high school! I didn't pass the middle school entrance exam and went to an agricultural technology night school. Now I am at the Hot Work Farm in Nanbao. Today, the farm employees are on vacation to welcome you." Yang Zhaodi said excitedly.

"Where are your parents, have you moved to Nanbao too?" Tan Shuangxi was a little surprised, because Yang's parents were both employees of the Ma Niao Iron and Steel Consortium, and their income was much higher than working on the farm.

"They won't go!" Yang Zhaodi made a face, "They are going north soon. I heard they are going to Foshan - to build a bigger steel plant!"

"Really?" Tan Shuangxi was very surprised. It was not that he was surprised when he heard that they were going to Foshan, but that the family was about to be separated, and Yang Zhaodi was not as happy as a flower. Besides, for a girl of thirteen or fourteen, working alone in a strange place, the Yang family’s parents were really relieved!

"Where's your brother?" He remembered that Yang Zhaodi had an older brother.

"He was originally going to Danzhou, but he didn't go after being persuaded by others..." Yang Zhaodi lowered his voice, looked around, and whispered, "I only told you when we were good. Danzhou is recruiting people. Don’t go, no matter how high the salary is, there are many work-related injuries.”

"Seriously?!" Tan Shuangxi was surprised, because not long ago the company received a soldier who was discharged due to injury, and his letter said that he went to Danzhou to recruit workers.

“More than steel plants?”

"Well... don't let me talk." Yang Zhaodi said and looked around again, "Brother Shuangxi, please don't talk nonsense outside."

"I know, I know. We understand discipline! It's enough if our own people know it. Then where is your brother?"

"He is also planning to go to Foshan. The chief said that there are many projects to be carried out in Foshan, but he doesn't know whether it is safe or not..."

Tan Shuangxi immediately comforted her: "Foshan was restored peacefully. There was no fighting at all. The National Army is still stationed there. It is very safe..." Suddenly he thought about something again, "Where is your house over there in Ma Niao?"

"It's rented to new immigrants." Yang Zhaodi smiled, "They came from the mainland, and we went to the mainland. It's really interesting!"

Tan Shuangxi suddenly realized that she must have something else important to say, so she stopped talking and watched. My heart couldn't help but beat fast, I was nervous and a little expectant.

Yang Zhaodi changed her eloquent attitude and opened her mouth but said nothing. Looking at Yang Zhaodi's hesitant expression, Tan Shuangxi's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He was not so nervous when he attacked the hilltops in Chaozhou under the Ming army's artillery fire, nor when he rushed to Guilin in the middle of the night in Guangxi.

"Brother Shuangxi, I want to ask..." Yang Zhaodi began to squirm, her voice getting lower and lower, "Brother Li from our village is also in your camp. My fellow Shandong fellow, I didn't see him? Did I miss him? ".

Tan Shuangxi was poured with a bucket of cold water, and he couldn't recover for a while. He hesitated and didn't know what to say. Seeing Tan Shuangxi's distorted and embarrassed expression, Yang Zhaodi's face twitched, and she involuntarily covered her mouth with her hands. Her eyes flashed with panic, and she was about to shed tears.

Fortunately, Tan Shuangxi had already covered up his gaffe and said quickly: "He, he is still alive, but he was stabbed here..." As he spoke, he made gestures on his abdomen.

"...But he is fine. He underwent surgery and is still recuperating in a hospital in Hong Kong. He has to recuperate for a month or two even if he is seriously injured. He will be back in a few days." After speaking, he quickly gestured in the direction of the team, which meant that he was going to catch up with the team, and ran away in a hurry. While running, he cursed secretly in his heart: "It's better for me to be a pretty boy. Women are worried about him when he's injured like that. Why didn't the knife go down a little further?"

During the ceremony to celebrate the two anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns and subsequent "Salt Field Cup" rugby matches and regional football leagues, the problems of rough design and construction in the early stages of the Bairenda Stadium were exposed. The auditorium is too close to the infield, the vertical height difference is insufficient, and the view of the audience in the back row is very poor. The bigger problem is that the rostrum made of piled earth lacks a sense of majesty, and subsequent maintenance is particularly troublesome. There is always the risk of collapse after the rainy season. Taking advantage of this triumphal welcome ceremony for the troops, the Senate approved a budget to renovate the stadium. The stands were transformed into a circle of two-story buildings, which is equivalent to building a sloped stand on the roof of the first floor. The rostrum and the extended wings are one level higher than the other stands.

The center of the rostrum was raised half a floor, and the speaker's position was arranged. Here, he could overlook the audience and enjoy the cheers and admiration. There are seats on each side of the speaker. The elders who do not need to stick to their posts sit upright and try their best to look like heads of state at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. However, not every elder likes to take a serious approach. A group of soy sauce elders followed the trend while starting to gossip in a low voice.

The content of the gossip is mainly about the "peace negotiation" and the personnel arrangements after the "peace negotiation". This is also the issue that the elders are most concerned about.

It was said that peace was to be negotiated, but peace did not really come. The General Staff continued to compile combat plans, including defense and counterattack.

Even though the peace talks were smooth sailing, rumors about the peace talks were already flying all over the sky. From the mode of reaching peace to what new situations the peace negotiation may bring... there are all kinds of things. Among them, the most widely discussed and heated one is "the theory of marriage".

The term "marriage" actually has a long history. It was first said by You Huhu in the officers' club of the Nanhai Cafe: "If you want to negotiate peace with me, there is only one condition! You must marry a princess."

This was originally one of You Huohu's ideals in life, but he didn't expect that this joke would become more and more interesting with more details. Up to now, in addition to "Once the peace is reached, Chongzhen will choose a daughter of the clan to marry President Wen/Secretary Ma/Wang Gong in the name of the princess", there is also "Chongzhen wants to accept the daughter as a noble concubine to show that The legend of “sincerity in peace talks”.

Naturally, this is not completely groundless.

Because the "Monthly Information Summary" transmitted from the Capital Station mentioned that the Ming Dynasty had decided to increase Cantonese taxes and determined the policy of "suppression" in the general direction. Then the vassal king came to Shu: Zhenkun had lived abroad for a long time, but he had not returned to the outside world for many years. Although he was crazy, he was a Chinese Miao descendant. Please ask the emperor to recruit Zhenkun to surrender at the same time as he was suppressing Kun. Kun Thief is good at making instruments, and he is good at amassing wealth. He is a man who is in urgent need of talents. Choose a place to place them, and then ask the emperor to accept one or two concubines as concubines in the harem to appease the people coming from overseas.

From the emperor to the ministers, no one in the court took this kind of nonsense memorial seriously. The Capital Station was only used as material and was placed in the "Collection of Memorials of this Month" in the appendix of the report. Unexpectedly, it became a hot spot when we arrived in Lingao. Rumor has it that the leaders of the Senate have reached a preliminary agreement and are preparing to use "marriage" to strive for "peace". We have already shortlisted several girls for marriage, and the number one candidate is Zhang Yunmi. Other candidates include her best friends Lin Ziqi, Qian Duoduo... and Zhong Xiaoying, who is not strictly a senior figure. has also become a member of the list.

For a time, all the elder families with daughters over the age of thirteen or fourteen were panic-stricken and went to the general office one after another to "demand an explanation." Xiao Zishan was confused for a moment, wondering where this idea came from. I can only pat my chest and promise that "this will never happen". In the end, Wang Luobin was specially asked to write an article on the peace talks in the "Weekly News" and specifically express his position on this issue, saying that this was absolutely not the case. This matter gradually calmed down.

At this moment, someone at the elders' seat next to the rostrum was aggrieved by the elder Xiao Zhang, who had become a popular figure at one time.

Zhang Bolin asked tentatively: "General Secretary Dong, have you heard about it?"

"What did you hear?" Dongmen guessed in several directions at once, "Is it about the marriage thing again? It's just nonsense..."

"I also know it's nonsense. It's about her personal issues."

"I know." Dongmen understood what he was going to say. I think you are really obsessed with me and you are so evil.

"I heard rumors that Xiao Zhang... and Mayor Liu are very close. They are that close." Zhang Bolin's expression was a little distorted.

Dongmen understood what "close" he meant and leaned back: "Where did you hear this?"

"I went to the city to do business a few days ago, and I heard it from a chat between two local cadres in the big world."

"So you think this is true?"

Zhang Bolin shook his head, "I'm not sure. After all, this is too, too..."

He spoke hesitantly and without confidence.
