Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli took a break from his busy schedule and took Mei Ting, Mei Xue, Liu Xinlan, Shanhu and his fiancée Ouyang Lan, and the six of them spent a whole day shopping. After all, Tang Qiuli himself really didn't accompany his wives The record of shopping on the street, this time, was Mei Ting's suggestion, which finally fulfilled some of the wishes of the three women.

The Chinese New Year is approaching in Dingbian, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is very strong. Among the six people, the four women are naturally walking happily and full of energy. Seeing their happy posture, Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu naturally risked their lives to accompany the lady .

Coincidentally, I bumped into Liu Hanzhang, the vice chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone and the mayor of Dingbian Special City, and brought more than a dozen directors and deputy directors of the relevant bureaus of the city government to visit the market.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and I have been busy for a whole year. I don’t want to be at home, spend time with my wife and children, and buy some New Year’s goods, but I meet a workaholic mayor who leads a dozen brains. Starting from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, use the soles Banzi has almost measured all the commercial streets in Dingbian, and he is not bothered or tired. That is a lie.

Tang Qiuli also knew this, is it human nature, the embarrassment is here, praising Liu Hanzhang's work spirit, even he thinks this old man is too bad, saying that these bureau chiefs and deputy bureau chiefs are not very satisfied, Wouldn't that chill everyone's hearts.

Tang Qiuli really didn't know what to say, but at this moment, Liu Hanzhang also said: "Chairman, do you have any instructions for our work in Dingbian City Hall?"

Tang Qiuli's head was already big at that time, and he even instructed that maybe this old brother Liu might pull all the heads of the Dingbian City Hall onto the street on New Year's Eve on a whim.There's no way, I have to say it if I don't want to, the dozen or so directors and deputy directors are looking at me eagerly!

Tang Qiuli pulled Liu Hanzhang aside and said, "Vice Chairman Liu, I don't have any instructions. I'm not in Dingbian all the year round, so don't make me ugly. All colleagues in the Dingbian City Government have worked hard for a year. Hanzhang Brother, there are tensions and relaxations in the way of civil and military affairs, do you want to combine work and rest!"

Liu Hanzhang blinked his eyes a few times, and suddenly realized: "The chairman is criticizing me and not being considerate of his subordinates. However, this is all necessary work. It is not good to push back the next year. The work after the year has already been arranged!"

Tang Qiuli was startled, shook his hands hastily, and said repeatedly, "No, brother Hanzhang is in charge of the work of Dingbian. This is just a suggestion! A suggestion!"

Liu Hanzhang took off his black-rimmed glasses, thought it over carefully, and said, "The chairman's suggestion is very correct. I was too hasty. Well, follow the chairman's instructions!"

Liu Hanzhang returned to the group of cadres and gave some instructions. Tang Qiuli watched from a distance. The crowd let out a torch and cheered in a low voice, and then dispersed. He saw some directors and deputy directors Immediately got into the phone booth on the side of the street, probably to call his family, but Liu Hanzhang just waved his hand towards him, accompanied by two secretaries, tall and straight, and quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Tang Qiuli couldn't help admiring this back view. How many people can there be in Manding with such dedication?

Shanhu pulled Tang Qiuli, who was a little distracted, "Go, Director Mei and the others, they should wait in the shopping mall!"

Tang Qiuli came back to his senses, and joked: "It's not a tiger, you are afraid that Ouyang Lan will wait in a hurry. I didn't expect that the famous "Crazy Tiger" of the independent teacher would surrender to a little girl. Where to go to reason!"

Shan Hu was not embarrassed, but said in a smug way: "Ouyang said nothing to me, especially my father and mother, who are closer to her than to me, and warned me not to bully Ouyang Lan! You say , Do I dare to bully her?"

Although Dingbian is located at the southern foot of the Mongolian Plateau, close to the Mu Us Desert, and a corner of the Loess Plateau in the Northwest, it was one of the top five most prosperous and modern cities at that time. The cultural tradition of the land is still immersed in the bones of everyone in Dingbian. The customs of the Chinese New Year are also full of strong atmosphere and characteristics of northern Shaanxi, with red as the main color, and everywhere is booming.

Like steaming clouds, it filled the streets and alleys of Dingbian. When Tang Qiuli and Shanhu rushed back to the shopping mall, the women hadn't finished shopping. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, shopping for women is an innate talent!

It wasn't until after five o'clock in the afternoon that the sun falling from the west had already dyed half of the sky into a variety of fiery clouds, and the neon lights on many store signs began to flash with colorful brilliance, and the street lights were lit up one after another. Mei Ting and the others finally ended the madness Shopping trip, return with a rewarding experience!

When the big and small bags were loaded onto the car, Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu were horrified again. Look at this posture, didn't they move most of the shopping mall home?

Seeing Tang Qiuli and his group get in the car and leave, the agents of the Telegraph Secret Service Bureau, who were responsible for the security mission, felt weak all over, and heaved a long sigh of relief. They led the team to command Wu Peizhang, and immediately reported to him, and they have been sitting in the headquarters of the Bureau. Gao Chuangshan, the director of the bureau, said, "The director, the division commander and his party have already begun to return home. According to the security plan formulated by the bureau, the second section will start to take over the security tasks along the way. Do you have any instructions?"

Gao Chuangshan sat down on the chair and yelled, "My living ancestor, I finally returned home. Wu Peizhang, you have worked hard. All the agents of the first section will rest immediately and go home to be with the family! However, all The members are always on the move at any time, our teacher, I don’t know when, he will appear on the street again!"

The Spring Festival in Dingbian is traditional and lively. Tang Qiuli's family got together and had a happy reunion dinner. When the sound of firecrackers outside the window, one after another, sounded like bursts of spring thunder, his father picked up the The wine glass said with emotion: "This year is the first reunion year of our family. In the past, Qiuli was not here, and Xiaoxue was not here. This year, they are all back, and there is an extra Xinlan. Our old Tang family is now three generations old. In the same room, alas! I am satisfied!" After she drank the full glass of wine, Liu Xinlan hurriedly got up and filled it up.

Tang Qiuli picked up the wine glass, raised his hands, and said emotionally: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled. If your son is not with you, you can't always be filial. I feel ashamed. Sister Ting, Xiaoxue, and Xinlan, let's toast our parents a glass of wine! "The four stood up and raised their glasses together. The two old men drank the glasses with joy, and the sons and daughters-in-law toasted.

Tang Qiuli poured another glass of wine, looked at Mei Ting affectionately, and said, "Sister Ting, Xiaoxue and I have been away from home for the past few years, and my parents and Lin'er depend on you to take care of them. You belong to my Tang family. Hero, this glass of wine, Qiuli respects you! Come, Xiaoxue, Xinlan, let's offer a glass of wine to Sister Ting!"

Mei Ting didn't expect her husband to act like this, and she said in a flustered voice, "What kind of meritorious person is it? I don't have much hard work, and even Jialin is taken care of by my father and mother. I can't be tired at all!" Ting refused to accept Tang Qiuli's toast no matter what.

The father said, "Xiaoting, you deserve this glass of wine. My old Tang family married a daughter-in-law like you. It is the blessing of the Tang family, and it is also the blessing of Qiuli. Drinking children, these years, your heart Both your father and your mother can see your suffering!"

With just these few words, Mei Ting's tears almost fell, as if trying to cover up, she raised her head and drank a large glass of wine, but she coughed violently, taking the opportunity to wipe away the tears from her eyes .

That night, the whole family didn't sleep, and they got together to chat about keeping the year old. The most talked about was about Tang Qiuli's childhood. Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan have never heard of it. Even Tang Qiuli himself has a vague memory, or doesn't know it at all. Maybe it came from another world. Most of the previous life memories of this body have been wiped out!

Amidst the laughter from the adults from time to time, little Jialin lay in her grandma's arms and fell asleep sweetly. The sound of firecrackers outside the window continued almost all night, and the family talked all night until Dongfang released Liang, Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, accompanied by their mother-in-law, went to prepare breakfast.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a group of people rushed to Mei Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, which was naturally lively again. On the second day of the second day, they went to Shan Hu's house, Uncle Zhang, and Auntie's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then Shan Hu and Ouyang Lan returned to pay their respects. The noise didn't stop until the fifth day of the first lunar month.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the independent division commander Dingbian Xingyuan confidential group received a telegram from the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe from Irkutsk, "Master, according to the reconnaissance of our reconnaissance troops stationed in Outer Mongolia, the Soviet army has assembled in the Ural Mountains. The troops to the west have already reached five group armies, about 40 people. There has not been any attempt to attack in front of them. Their activities are under my strict surveillance. If there is any change, report it immediately! In addition, Su The military engineering unit has built hundreds of field airfields in the area below the Ural Mountains."

There is also a telegram from Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, from Kulun, Outer Mongolia, "Master, according to the Soviet intelligence network of the intelligence department, the Soviet Air Force has decided to set up the Far East First Flying Army, under the jurisdiction of six fighter armies and two A bomber corps, initially equipped with about [-] to [-] combat aircraft, is dedicated to the combat missions of the Soviet army in the East.”

When Tang Qiuli saw these two telegrams, he and Mei Ting, Mei Xue, Liu Xinlan, Shanhu and Ouyang Lan had just come back from Dingbian Street, which had become a sea of ​​yangko dances in northern Shaanxi. The six of them, Not only watched the grand Yangko New Year's greetings from the beginning to the end, but was also wrapped up in the Yangko twisting crowd by the joyful citizens of Dingbian, and danced for a long time before being overwhelmed by more than a dozen special guards. Get it out of the crowd.

It was also thanks to Tang Qiuli who put on makeup beforehand, otherwise, he would be surrounded by Dingbian citizens, and he would not be able to escape.
