Zhou Wen saw the Mandels walking over with a tall, middle-aged German with silver hair. The German was very tall, Zhou Wen estimated that he must be over 1.9 meters tall, with a warm smile on his face.
Zhou Wen smiled and greeted him, only to see Mandel introduce: "Dear Hobert, this is Catherine and I's savior, Zhou. If it weren't for him this time, you might have to go to the mountains to find our bodies.
went."
"Dear Zhou, this is our friend Hobert who came to Taiyuan to visit us. He came to greet us after receiving a telegram from us on the way. He is an excellent firearms engineer and was sent to the arsenal by the German Mauser Company to guide the work.
of."
Firearms engineer? Zhou Wen's eyes lit up after hearing this.
…
After the welcome ceremony, Zhou Wen and the others, led by provincial government vehicles, drove to the Taiyuan Jianguo Hotel, the accommodation specially arranged by the provincial government for Liu Ruoshui and his party.
Jianguo Hotel is not a chain store. After the founding of the Republic of China, in order to commemorate the victory of the Revolution of 1911, governments all over the country raised funds or invested and built high-standard hotels by wealthy businessmen. They are basically used to hold high-level meetings and receive dignitaries. Usually, they are used to hold high-level meetings and receive dignitaries.
It is also open to the public, but the price is expensive. Jianguo Hotels are basically built in big cities across the country, as if there is no Jianguo Hotel, it is not patriotic.
Wang Wenzhao was sitting in Zhou Wen's black bridge car at this time. He was still in a dream and had not fully come back to his senses. Even now he can't believe his eyes. This man is brothers with one of the top officials in Shanxi Provincial Government.
This young man, this young man with a group of ferocious officers, this young man who looks so calm and confident when he smiles. Is he the same person as the old boy who was well-behaved and sensible, but also a little ignorant and innocent?
The foreigners were warm and polite to Zhou Wen just now. When they were leaving, they mentioned Li Bin's incident. As a result, Hobert agreed and asked Wang Wenzhao to bring someone over tomorrow. He would be responsible for finding a foreign doctor to help treat him.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big change in one and a half years. It shows how much hardship this nephew has gone through to become what he is today. Thinking of this, Wang Wenzhao's eye circles turned red again.
Taiyuan Jianguo Hotel is located on Fuxi Street in the center of Taiyuan City, not far from the famous Governor's Mansion. After arriving at the hotel, the provincial government representative asked Liu Ruoshui to take a rest. In the evening, the acting chairman of the provincial government, Chief Xu, hosted a banquet for Liu Tepa.
Members take the wind and wash away the dust.
Gao Xiaoshan and party officials contacted the provincial government staff to arrange specific accommodations. They were familiar with these tasks as they stayed in various counties along the way.
Zhou Wen quickly pulled Wang Wenzhao to sit down on the sofa in the hotel lobby, looked at his uncle's face carefully, and said softly: "My uncle is fine. It was me who worried him. Is my aunt okay? Where is my dad? My dad is still there.
Okay? I have been here for nearly two years, and he is afraid that he will die in a hurry. Did he receive the letter I asked someone to bring last year? This will at least put him at ease."
"Letter? What letter? I've never heard of a letter!" Wang Wenzhao was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Wenqi said: "The person I entrusted to deliver the letter is a famous company in Xuchang, so they won't break their trust with me, right? They still have dealings with my Fuyuan company, how could they not receive it?"
Wang Wenzhao suddenly remembered about his brother-in-law, slapped himself on the forehead and said: "Oh, I forget everything when I see you happy. Your father is sick, and I asked your cousin to visit him last week, but he still hasn't recovered yet."
Reply, I'm worried something happened. You have to go back and take a look."
Zhou Wen became anxious when he heard this, "What? Dad fell ill. My cousin went there for a week and didn't reply? Something must have happened. And it's not a trivial matter."
But he was anxious and his head started to work immediately. At this time, he couldn't mess up the rules. Zhou Wen frowned and thought for a while. It gets dark early in the winter in the north, and it rained again this morning, so the road was not easy to walk. He drove back all night and still had to go back.
It's not as fast as setting off early tomorrow morning. Driving a bridge car is faster. Taiyuan to Lishi is only 200 kilometers away. Even if you drive at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, you can get there in four hours.
After thinking clearly, he said to Wang Wenzhao: "Let's go, uncle, let's go to Fuyuan Store to understand the situation first, and then go visit my aunt. We will set off before dawn tomorrow and we will be home in the morning. Leave everything to me from now on, uncle."
Don't worry."
After finishing speaking, before Wang Wenzhao could react, Zhou Wen had already invited Gao Xiaoshan and Miaohua to discuss it. If Zhou Wen was not here, Gao Xiaoshan would have to stay, and most of the machine gun and artillery team, as well as the action team would stay.
Protect Liu Ruoshui. After all, Liu Ruoshui's safety is also very important. The other team members include Feng Tianpei, who followed Zhou Wen home with a cannon, two machine guns and a radio. Zhou Wen felt that this matter was fishy, so he better bring some brothers back.
Insurance. Junior Brother Feng must bring it, after all, his father is ill.
Gao Xiaoshan led the team members to attend the dinner in the evening. Zhou Wen took Miaohua, Zhang Xiaoping, and Xu Dacheng home with his uncle.
After Zhou Wen and Liu Ruoshui discussed it, they also got Liu Ruoshui's support. Just go, your father is my father, and leave other matters to me.
Hong Xiu, a little girl, was still eager to follow Zhou Wen. Thinking of the dangers involved in going back this time, Zhou Wen didn't dare to take her there. Later, she pouted and was pulled away by Zhou Yongbin. But she was also sensible and knew this.
I can't cause trouble to Zhou Wen at this time, I just regret that I grow up too slowly, otherwise I can help my big brother.
The Fuyuan store opened by Zhou Wen's family is on Dayanmen Street in Taiyuan City. Dayanmen is also called Yingzemen. Outside the city gate is the train station and many automobile companies. Therefore, Dayanmen Street is lined with shops. Here
Most of them are branches of businesses from various places here, and of course there are also local businesses. Goods traveling from north to south can be seen here.
As soon as Zhou Wen walked into the shop, the old shopkeeper's eyes narrowed when he saw Zhou Wen. He rubbed his eyes again in disbelief and shouted loudly: "Young master's house? Oops! It's really young master's house. This is considered a return. The master miss." is you."
Zhou Wen smiled and went in to greet him affectionately. This old shopkeeper had been with Zhou Wen's father for many years, and he was a trustworthy person who would leave Taiyuan alone to take charge. Zhou Wen asked about the recent situation in detail and learned that he had been away from home for a long time.
There is no one coming from Shi's side. Usually, someone comes to summarize the accounts at the end of every month. This month is already the last few days, and still no one comes. Fortunately, there is still plenty of inventory, so it does not affect the daily business.
After Zhou Wen said goodbye, he drove all the way back to his uncle's house. When his aunt Zhang saw Zhou Wen, she cried with joy and asked about her welfare. She chatted for a long time. But Zhou Wen didn't feel verbose at all, and she felt warm in her heart and patiently answered her questions.
and comfort.
Feeling like home - so good!
Xu Dacheng was used to coming here, and he followed Zhou Wen here every week to have a meal. Naturally, he was so excited to see his relatives after a long absence that his uncle and aunt screamed. He also specified what kind of food he wanted to eat. This guy used to be at his uncle's house.
Wang Wenzhao and Mr. Zhang loved to eat, so they made a fire to cook and got busy.
On this cold and quiet evening in early winter, this courtyard, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively...
