Chapter Thirteen Brothers
The drizzle gradually stopped. When it rained, the weather became a little cool. The southern slope at the beginning of the moon was the season for the crops to be sown in the spring.
When Lu Zheng returned to the south slope, he was riding the car of Hou Jingming, the head of Nanzhou Customs. The same car was also equipped with Deputy Secretary Gu Shuncai, the local committee committee member.
Hou Jingming went down to Nanpo Customs for investigation and stood in Lanjiang. Lu Zheng took his car, and Secretary Gu accompanied Guan Hou on behalf of the Prefectural Committee to inspect the work.
Nanzhou Customs is a customs directly under the General Administration of Customs, a department-level unit, and Hou Jingming is a department-level department-level department-level department-level department-level department-level department-level department-level department-level
Along the way, the three of them talked about the economic development of the Lanjiang region. Lu Zheng believed that Lanjiang's full efforts to develop tourism may be a good direction. Lu Zheng said that in the past two years, tourism has become a fashion and will inevitably gradually become a popular leisure method for the people. The prospect of developing characteristic tourism in Lanjiang, a multi-ethnic area, still has great potential.
Guan Chief Hou and Secretary Gu both agreed.
When the car and van entered the county party committee compound, Secretary Zheng Weiguo had already brought Yu's troops in Nanpo County to greet him. Then, Lu Zheng was with Director Hou throughout the afternoon. After all, he was in charge of the port work and the superior customs came to inspect. It seemed that it was not appropriate for him to be present.
In the evening, Yubu held a banquet at Nanpo Hotel to entertain Guan Hou and his party. Secretary Zheng also arranged ethnic songs and dances to cheer him up. After the banquet was over, it was already past ten o'clock. Lu Zheng thought about it and did not go to Junko Kagawa's room to meet her.
Early the next morning, Lu Zheng went to resign with Guan Cheng Hou and Secretary Gu, saying that he had already made an appointment with Deng Sankun, Chairman of the Guobang Autonomous Government, to visit Guobang. He should have gone yesterday, and it has been delayed for a day, so it is not easy to push back. Guan Cheng expressed his understanding repeatedly and left contact information with Lu Zheng, and then said goodbye to each other.
When he returned to the room, Lu Zheng called Xiang Dong. Who knew that no one answered the phone in his office for a long time. There was no pager in the south slope. If the phone was not connected, it would be really troublesome to find someone.
I don’t know what to do when he was heading east, but no matter whether he could catch up or not, he couldn’t push the time back because he pushed back. Lu Zheng called the office and asked Guest Wang to contact Guobang’s side and pass the test at around 11 o’clock.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zheng thought about what had not been missed for a while, and then Shi Ran went out. Thinking about the farewell banquet he had made with Junko Kagawa. It had been almost half a month in a flash, but he kept leaving her aside. From the perspective of his friend, he was really too much and disrespectful to others. Fortunately, Junko Kagawa's personality would not think so.
In front of room 309, Lu Zheng rang the doorbell.
After a while, footsteps sounded inside, and then the door was opened, and Lu Zheng's eyes immediately lit up. Perhaps because of the gray Lanjiang River and the south slope, it was difficult to see fashionable beauties. The lightly-painted Junko Kagawa looked even more brilliant. Her fashionable and exquisite water-milled white jeans, a snow-white jacket, white high-heeled leather shoes, and her long hair of the cute princess and her picturesque face were really exquisite and charming.
"Hello, Jun Lu." Kagawa Junko was still so polite, but there was a faint light of joy in her bright eyes.
Lu Zheng entered the house and said with a smile: "Every time I hear you call me Lu Jun, I feel cold in my feet. This title is kind of polite to keep people from living a thousand miles away. Just call me Lu Zheng."
Junko Kagawa said in surprise and said embarrassedly: "So you have this feeling too. I, I originally wanted to tell you, can I call you brother in the future? I have never had a brother since I was a child. In my heart, you are like my brother, who has always protected me and taken care of me. I just don't know if Junko has this honor."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Whatever you want, what honor or not? Yu Qian, let's become sworn brothers and sisters.
"Okay." Junko Kagawa's pretty face shone with joy.
Lu Zheng just said casually. Seeing Junko Kagawa serious and so happy, she couldn't help but move. In her previous life, she dreamed back at midnight. In that unbearable loneliness, she once thought that if she had a well-behaved and obedient sister, not her parents and sisters were like several mountains, but had an obedient sister who acted coquettishly with her and needed to protect herself, then, will her life be different in this kind of family affection?
Thinking of it, I suddenly felt a little lonely in my heart. Lu Zheng sighed and said, "Then I'm sure you will be my sister in the future."
Thinking of the scenes of her acquaintance with Junko Kagawa, from the misunderstanding that she was a bad person who broke her head, to the fact that she was stabbed by a broken wine bottle for her, to the shock of the apartment, she regarded herself as her guardian. From then on, her words seemed to have become golden rules, and even her personal future did not care about her. Let’s talk about the things that are happening now. Because of the high salary and generous employment of a large Japanese company, Smith, the boss she saw, could not keep. With a word, she gave up this opportunity and came to Nanzhou to have the so-called farewell meal with herself.
I only learned about these things from Smith later.
Now, although she is said to be a tourist in name, she actually travels thousands of miles to the south slope, just visiting herself.
Thinking of these past events, Lu Zheng slowly stood up and said, "According to our Chinese tradition, there are many red tapes for sworn brothers and sisters. Let's keep everything simple, and the focus is on your heart." He slowly raised his cup and said, "I, Lu Zheng, made a promise today. From now on, Junko Kagawa will be my sister. I will pity and love him, and the heaven and earth are the evidence." Then, he slowly poured the tea on the carpet.
Junko Kagawa was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect Lu Zheng to be so serious. Then she picked up the teacup and said something in Japanese with a pretty face. Lu Zheng was thinking that he wanted to respect and love him as his brother, as if he had quoted Japanese poems and scriptures. Finally, she slowly sprinkled the tea in front of her.
Lu Zheng smiled. There were many sayings about ghosts in Japan and he was also very taboo to make random oaths. From Kagawa Junko's solemn expression, you can tell her seriousness.
Just at this moment, Junko Kagawa also turned her head, and the two couldn't help but smile. Although this swornship seemed very sloppy and sudden, there was no doubt that the two were much closer.
Sitting on the sofa together, Junko Kagawa poured a cup of tea for Lu Zheng and whispered, "Brother, brother, drink tea." She was still a little nervous when she called Lu Zheng the first time she called her brother.
Lu Zheng agreed, took the teacup and said, "Sister, you can drink tea too."
Junko Kagawa nodded with a smile, and murmured softly: "Brother,...Onisan,...ah nicki...I, I don't know what to call brother."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, I will respond to you whatever you call me." Lu Zheng knew that Junko Kagawa was talking about the name of brothers in Japanese with different levels of intimacy. Obviously, Junko Kagawa was very happy. Hearing her extremely soft voice calling her brother or O'Nisan, it was really comfortable and comfortable. Having such a capable and beautiful sister was really good.
Suddenly remembering that he had some serious business, Lu Zheng looked at his watch and said, "I can sit for half an hour. I have to pass the test and go to Guobang for a walk."
Junko Kagawa said "ah" and said, "Are you a Chinese from Guobang? When I came to Nanpo, I found a lot of information to read."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "The people of Guobang are the survivors of our former dynasties in China. They were driven to the frontier mosquito land by the Manchus. However, it has been hundreds of years since then. Although they still partially retain the previous Chinese traditions, they are also integrated with the ethnic minorities here. Therefore, it is really hard to say that they are the same nation as our mainlanders from cultural cognition, living habits to traditions."
Kagawa Junko's bright eyes were a little yearning and said, "They must be a very unique existence." She asked Lu Zheng again: "What procedures should I go to the South Street of Guobang from here? Is I going to go to Guobang South Street? Is it a chaotic place?"
Seeing her curious, Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Since you are on vacation in the southern Yunnan border, well, you should go to Guobang to have a look. This way, you can go with me."
Junko Kagawa was stunned and shook her head gently, "That's not good, you are a business of the public, how can I go with you?"
Lu Zheng laughed: "What, I'm afraid I'm making a mistake. Don't worry, I'm going this time is private. You are my sister. It's just right to go together. Otherwise, I heard that Chairman Deng from the Guobang Autonomous Government married sisters, and the two sisters are very good at being in charge. When it comes to socializing, I have you, the sister, and it should be better.
Kagawa Junkoki said, "Who married a sister?"
Lu Zheng nodded: "It's still an ancient cultural system, and it's not against polygamy. Most of the middle and upper classes have married a few wives."
Junko Kagawa suddenly realized, nodded slightly, and said, "It sounds so strange."
Lu Zheng also laughed and said, "Yes, I feel like I'm going back more than a hundred years ago."
At this time, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. Junko Kagawa took it, asked, and handed the phone to Lu Zheng, saying, "Look for you."
Lu Zheng was slightly stunned. Who called here to find him? After taking it, he heard the familiar male voice in the microphone and suddenly realized that it was Guest Wang.
I think there should be something wrong, otherwise I wouldn't call here, and I probably couldn't find me to try it out.
"Secretary, there was something wrong with Xiangdong. I have helped him solve it. Look, where are you asking him to wait for you?" In the microphone, Guest Wang's tone was very calm.
Lu Zheng frowned: "What's wrong with him?"
Wang Guest smiled and said, "Actually, it was a misunderstanding. He bought cashew nuts worth several thousand yuan from the old Myanmar in the border trade market one after another. He was detained by the customs anti-smuggling road inspection team. He thought he was also the kind of businessman who evaded tariffs and smuggling. I told him and gave him a certificate. Now it's fine."
Lu Zheng knew what was going on. At the border trade and trading site, there is a way to smuggle it to pieces, either use border residents to bring it over, or use a large number of border residents to forge customs clearance certificates, and then it can be distributed into a whole acquisition.
Because at border trade and trade points, transactions that do not exceed a certain amount are exempt from tariffs. According to the documents of the Prefectural Committee and the Administrative Administration, the duty-free limit is temporarily set to 200 yuan, that is, commodity transactions below 200 yuan do not need to pay tariffs. Now with the development of the economy, the call for the increase of the duty-free limit is getting higher and higher.
The fake bulk goods into border trade and trade transactions have recently seen many such cases. It seems that Xiang Dong has also been targeted. Since no one has thought that Wushan Special Zone has come out, it is not very outrageous to spend thousands of dollars to buy local specialties and take them back to share with their family and colleagues.
Lu Zheng thought, "Okay, it's fine. Ask him to come to Nanpo Hotel and I'll have a good time. By the way, please help me communicate with the border checkpoint and Guobang. I'll take someone there."
