As soon as I left Liquan Station, I saw Chen Qingzhu waving from afar.
Arriving in front of him, Chen Qingzhu saw clearly that there was a girl standing next to Chen Qingyun. He smiled naively and said: "Brother, take your girlfriend home for the New Year." After saying that, he bowed slightly to Tang Yu:
"Hello sister-in-law, welcome to Liquan."
Chen Qingyun lightly punched Chen Qingzhu and said with a smile: "What look? His name is Tang Yu, a little brother I met in Zhongzhou. Tang Yu, come here, this is my younger brother Chen Qingzhu, please call me
Second brother."
Tang Yu stepped forward and called out slightly shyly: "Hello, second brother." The delicate voice really sounded like a girl's.
Chen Aimin drove himself to pick up Chen Qingyun.
"Second uncle, you bought a new car, and you are doing well." Chen Qingyun was sitting in Chen Aimin's Jetta, teasing Chen Aimin. Before Chen Aimin could say anything, Chen Qingzhu, who was sitting in the back, answered: "Brother, second uncle is so awesome now.
, a famous miracle doctor, who has to queue up every day to see a doctor. My second uncle doesn’t go to Ziwei Mountain anymore. He is in the clinic in Qingpu Town. I heard that the Qingpu Town Health Center is planning to cooperate with my second uncle.”
Chen Qingyun said in surprise: "Really? Second uncle." Chen Aimin said a little proudly: "The health center has no business anymore. If they don't ask me to cooperate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue."
Chen Qingyun saw Chen Aimin's proud expression and thought about the changes in society, so he blurted out: "It's been three days since we've seen each other. You should look at each other with admiration."
Chen Aimin smiled and said: "Have you ever said that about my second uncle? But Linglan Nine-turn Acupuncture has really benefited me a lot."
Chen Qingyun said with concern: "Second uncle, Linglan Nine-turn Acupuncture is good, isn't it? How far have you practiced it?"
Chen Aimin shook his head and said: "The acupuncture method is good, but it is too difficult to practice and requires too much control over the movement of Qi, so I only practiced the first turn."
Chen Qingzhu, who was behind, was confused: "What kind of acupuncture method, how many turns, etc., why haven't I heard of it?" Chen Aimin and Chen Qingyun looked at each other and smiled, ignoring him.
When he returns home this time, Chen Qingyun plans to teach the Qingwei Jue to the whole family. It’s not that he doesn’t believe in his father and second uncle. He feels that he should have the deepest understanding of the Qingwei Jue, and it would be more appropriate for him to teach this kind of skill.
He wanted to teach the Dharma alone, and he wanted to impose absolute confidentiality requirements on every practitioner, otherwise it would be difficult for his family to gain a foothold in society.
When the Jetta car turned on the national highway, Chen Qingyun saw her grandma standing at the door of the yard looking from a distance.
Chen Qingyun got out of the car and shouted loudly: "Grandma." The old lady squinted her eyes and said: "Qingyun is back, oh, and he brought a girlfriend." After saying that, he went over and took Tang Yu's hand: "Daughter, what's your name?
What’s your name? Where do you live?”
Chen Qingyun and Tang Yu both had helpless faces, while Chen Aimin and Chen Qingzhu laughed loudly on the sidelines.
"Grandma, his name is Tang Yu, and he is the brother I brought back from Central China." Chen Qingyun quickly explained.
Chen Qingyun's grandma said happily: "Hey, he is your brother. He is such a handsome young man. Where did he come from?"
"Grandma, I will tell you slowly later." Chen Qingyun changed the topic.
When Chen Qingyun returned home, his family and his second uncle were all very happy. The Tang Yu that Chen Qingyun brought home was quickly accepted by everyone. The Tang Yu now is not the unkempt, yellow-skinned and thin person that Chen Qingyun was when they met at the brick factory.
He looked down and out, wearing a black jacket, jeans, and white sneakers, and his whole body was as agile as a machine. Although he was thin and small, the intelligence in his eyes that wandered around won the love of Chen Qingyun's family.
.
Chen Qingyun pulled Chen Qingyun aside and told Chen Qingyun excitedly: "Brother, do you still have those peaches? You don't know, this thing is so good. After you left, the whole family has not been sick, even grandpa,
Grandma is no longer young anymore, and she doesn’t even have the old problem of coughing anymore.”
Chen Qingyun asked: "Is it really that good?"
Chen Qingyun said proudly: "My feeling is even more powerful. I am very energetic now and my memory is better than others. This time, my second brother and I were both first in grade. My second brother also participated in the school sports meeting and won the 5,000-meter long-distance race."
champion."
Now it was Chen Qingyun's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect the flat peaches brought from the Taoist temple to have such an effect. He was really careless.
Chen Yongjun arranged Tang Yu to live next door to Chen Qingyun's room on the third floor, while Chen Qingyun's grandmother, grandfather, and parents, Chen Qingzhu and Chen Qingyun, lived on the second floor. After settling in, Tang Yu was officially accepted into Chen Qingyun's family. As for the future,
I think it will be after the Spring Festival.
After dinner, Chen Qingyun came to his father's study, and the father and son exchanged what happened after they said goodbye to Yanjing.
Chen Yongjun's gratified eyes were full of joy: "Qingyun has grown up and matured, and dad is happy for you. The friends you have made are all good, especially that Lawrence. I don't know what happened between you, but from his relationship with
My attitude, I always feel that he wants to repay his kindness."
Chen Qingyun smiled and did not reveal his relationship with Lawrence: "Dad, Lawrence is a reliable friend. If you can help him, please do it for him."
Chen Yongjun sighed and said: "Qingyun, you have made a mistake this time. We are not helping Lawrence, but Lawrence is preparing to give us a big gift."
On the far side of the ocean, Lawrence's eyes were fixed on the ceiling. Sally, who was lying next to him, patted him and said, "I'm distracted. Are you thinking about your little Chinese friend?"
Lawrence turned over and hugged Sally: "The one who knows me is Sally. This guy Qingyun is a bit mysterious, and I'm very curious about him. Sally, let's go to China. It will be the Chinese New Year soon, let's go and join in the celebration."
Lively, how about it?"
Sally said jokingly: "I think you are almost obsessed with China, you are full of Chinese flavor. Okay, let's settle the matters at hand as soon as possible and go to China to celebrate the New Year with your little friend Qingyun."
After breakfast the next day, Tang Yu took Chen Qingyun to the vegetable market. This kid was smart and wanted to integrate into Chen Qingyun's big family and was going to show everyone his cooking skills in the evening.
Chen Qingyun called Chen Qingzhu to his room and said to Chen Qingzhu seriously: "Qingzhu, I am going to teach you a set of kung fu, but you have to promise me not to mention this to anyone on any occasion.
You cannot show your skills on any occasion or in front of anyone, you cannot use this skill to participate in any competitions, you cannot bully others, and you cannot do things that harm society. Can you promise me?"
Chen Qingzhu was stunned: "Brother, is it so serious?"
"This matter of life and death, do you think it's serious or not?"
Chen Qingyun understood Chen Qingzhu's suspicion very well. If this matter were brought to him, he might ridicule him on the spot.
Chen Qingyun took Chen Qingzhu to the foot of the mountain behind the yard, pointing to a big tree on the mountain: "Qingzhu, do you see the big tree on the top of the hill?"
Chen Qingzhu looked at his brother in confusion and nodded.
"There is an old crow's nest on the big tree, can you see it clearly?" Chen Qingyun asked another question, and Chen Qingzhu shook his head. At this moment, Chen Qingzhu felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and when he turned around, Chen Qingyun was gone. He After calming down, he was about to open his mouth to call, when a gust of wind sounded in his ears. Chen Qingyun stood in front of him, holding an egg in his left hand, and a bird with flapping wings standing in the palm of his right hand. It couldn't fly. It turned out that during Chen Qingyun's fight with Takeshita Matsu, he learned the trick of using Qian Yang Qi to relieve force. He used Qian Yang Zhen Qi to remove the force of the bird's takeoff. There was no reaction force and it flew naturally. Can't get up.
Chen Qingzhu stared at Chen Qingyun dumbfounded, unable to believe that the person standing in front of him was his brother, who looked exactly like the hero mentioned in martial arts novels.
Chen Qingyun understood his brother's reaction. It would be abnormal not to have such a reaction: "Practice the kung fu I teach you, and you can do the same."
"Can I do it too?" Chen Qingzhu said as if he had picked up a gold ingot: "Brother, I want to learn, please teach me."
Chen Qingyun continued to ask: "Can you fulfill my request?"
Chen Qingzhu also said seriously: "Yes, no problem."
Throughout the morning, the two of them stayed in the room without seeing anyone, until Chen Qingyun thought that Chen Qingzhu had basically understood Qingwei Jue. Of course, he would still have to continue to guide him in the next time. It was impossible to expect Chen Qingzhu to be able to do it in half a day. Remember it completely.
During lunch, Ding Yong shouted from outside the door: "Qingyun, Qingyun, get rid of your dog quickly." Ding Yong is afraid of dogs, but he likes to come to Chen Qingyun's house to play. Fortunately, his family usually Two dogs are kept in the backyard.
"You came just in time, the food has just been served. Let's eat together." Chen Qingyun greeted Ding Yong, and then pulled Tang Yu in front of him: "His name is Tang Yu, he is a little brother I brought back from Zhongzhou. "
Ding Yong and Tang Yu held hands: "My name is Ding Yong, I am Chen Qingyun's childhood friend, and we will be good brothers from now on."
Tang Yu bowed: "Hello, Brother Ding, please take care of me." Ding Yong laughed and said, "Qingyun, this little brother is a bit interesting."
After dinner, Ding Yong eagerly pulled Chen Qingyun upstairs. Chen Qingyun understood what he was thinking. Ding Yong might have learned a few tricks and received intensive training after returning to school, hoping to avenge him. There is no rush to seek abuse. Chen Qingyun snickered in his heart.
"Let's take a walk first. I just finished eating." In fact, Chen Qingyun was just about to talk to Ding Yong when Ding Yong came to his door.
Ding Yong's father, Ding Guansheng, is the deputy mayor of Liquan City, in charge of economy, commerce, investment, tourism and other work. Chen Qingyun heard some comments that Ding Guansheng has a good official reputation. He basically does not accept gifts when doing things for others, and he is fair in dealing with others. He is very courageous in handling problems and is a strong figure in the city government.
Last night, Chen Yongjun told Chen Qingyun that the special ceramics factory had encountered resistance, mainly because the procedures of the environmental protection, land, planning and other departments had not been completed yet. Chen Qingyun wanted to ask Mayor Ding for help.
Chen Qingyun briefly explained what he was going to do, and Ding Yong patted his chest: "Qingyun, your business is my business. If you come to my house in the evening, I want the old man to come out and say hello. Come on, let's go play ball." Ding Yong never forgets it. Clean up Chen Qingyun.
After all is said and done, if Ding Yong is not satisfied, this boy will definitely rely on Chen Qingyun.
Now Chen Qingyun is different from what he used to be. The fast spin ball that Ding Yong whipped with great force seems to be spinning slowly in Chen Qingyun's eyes. His land flying skills have reached a level that is terrifying and unreasonable to ordinary people, and Ding Yong
The spin ball that he thought was tricky seemed ordinary to Chen Qingyun, and Chen Qingyun's strength was not something that Ding Yong could resist. How could he continue to play this ball.
After playing two games, Ding Yong threw the racket away and said frustratedly: "No more playing, it's not fun at all. Qingyun, have you gone to the national team for training? It's so scary. Let's go, see you tonight." "It's urgent.
"Okay? Let's go together after dinner." Chen Qingyun persuaded Ding Yong to stay.
Tang Yu had been busy all day, and at six o'clock, he invited everyone to eat. As soon as he entered the restaurant, a burst of fragrance hit his nostrils. There were ten dishes, including fish-flavored shredded pork, dengying beef, Dongpo elbow, stir-fried shredded squid, palace
Baoji diced chicken, mapo tofu, crispy braised pork, braised lion head, braised chicken, beer duck, and golden fragrant cakes for dessert, everyone was stunned.
Chen Yongjun laughed happily: "Okay, okay, Tang Yu is a good boy. He has such good skills." Everyone hurriedly took their seats. Only Tang Yu stood beside him and scratched his head and said, "I wanted to be a Taoist and Buddha jumping over the wall, but I didn't have enough materials.
, and there’s not enough time.”
Chen Qingyun's grandma greeted Tang Yu: "My child, you did a good job. Hurry up and sit down. Haha, we are in for a treat."
Chen Qingyun pulled Tang Yu to sit next to him: "Can you still be a Buddha and jump over the wall?" He knew that to be a good Buddha and jump over the wall, you must be at the level of a master.
Tang Yu nodded affirmatively: "It's pretty good."
An idea flashed across Chen Qingyun's mind. Tang Yu's experience was not simple. If it could be unearthed, it would be good material.
In the eyes of the parents of Chen Qingyun's classmate, Chen Qingyun is a good boy with excellent character and academic performance, and they all want their children to associate with Chen Qingyun. When he heard that Chen Qingyun wanted to ask for something, Ding Guansheng specially waited at home.
Chen Qingyun knew that Ding Guansheng had the habit of smoking, so he brought a cigarette that Yun Lei gave him.
"Qingyun is here, please sit down quickly. This kid, come as soon as you come. Why don't you bring any cigarettes?" Ding Guansheng welcomed Chen Qingyun into the room, thinking: Good students can do this, I'm afraid it was his father who taught him.
He casually took the cigarette and was about to put it on the coffee table next to him when he was suddenly shocked: "Qingyun, where did you get this cigarette?"
Chen Qingyun didn't understand cigarettes. Looking at Ding Guansheng's appearance, he felt that his reaction was a bit exaggerated. It was just a cigarette, so there was no need to make a fuss about it. But he still replied respectfully: "It was given by my wife."
Ding Guansheng asked: "Who is your master's wife?"
Chen Qingyun answered honestly: "She seems to be a general. I haven't asked. I don't know where she works?"
"Then who is your teacher?"
"The teacher is Professor Ye Zhong, the president of Ziwei University."
Ding Guansheng thought that with his status as the president of Ziwei University, he might not be able to get this kind of cigarette. He didn't ask any more, thinking that Chen Qingyun didn't want to reveal it. But Ding Guansheng didn't expect that the cigarette was indeed Ye Chongcong's Republic No. 1
I came to the chief's office. As an important figure in the think tank of the No. 1 chief, Ye Zhong often meets with the No. 1 chief.
Chen Qingyun told Ding Guansheng his intentions in detail. Ding Guansheng pondered for a while and told Chen Qingyun that he could come forward and it would be effective, but this was not the best way. If he had not seen the cigarette that Chen Qingyun brought, he would not have done anything.
He hesitated to agree to Chen Qingyun, after all, this is not a difficult thing, but his current idea is to use this matter to establish a relationship with Chen Qingyun. It is best to establish a line with the people behind Chen Qingyun, and through Chen Qingyun
Qingyun's process of doing things can be judged one or two.
Of course, the thoughts of an old official like Ding Guansheng are beyond Chen Qingyun's understanding.
Ding Guansheng rationalized his thoughts and said the crux of the problem: "Qingyun, your matter is not big or small. If you pass the test today, there will be more in the future. In recent years, there is a popular saying, "Gu Fat Po Po Thin",
It means that the economic authorities with great power during the planned economy period, such as the Industrial Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Light Industry Bureau and other units, are no longer as prosperous as before, while the functional departments of the government, such as environmental protection, planning, land, taxation and other departments, are administrative law enforcement departments.
, the power is constantly being strengthened. For example, our city's Environmental Protection Bureau collects more than 4 million yuan in sewage fees every year, and the number of people in the Environmental Protection Bureau has increased sharply from more than ten people in the late 1980s to more than 70 people. The benefits are good.
Ah, there are just a lot of greetings from the leaders. Most of the people who come in are well-connected, but there are only a few real professional and technical personnel. These people can't do big things, but they are good at making money. They have project approvals, enterprise upgrades, and acceptance inspections in their hands.
Administrative penalties, pollution control, sewage charges and other powers are almost as easy as a goose plucking their hair. They will sort things out for you even if they don't have any problems, and turn small things into big things for you. The municipal party committee and municipal government meetings often emphasize the need to be honest and self-disciplined, and to improve their work performance.
Efficiency, we need to do practical things for the people, but these people just don’t listen. I know that most of the leaders of the municipal party committee and city government know it, but no one can change this situation.”
Ding Yong interjected: "I heard a joke about the Environmental Protection Bureau. There was a company's sewage flowing into a nearby farmer's fish pond. There was a dispute between the two parties, and the farmer filed a lawsuit with the Environmental Protection Bureau. The head of the regulations section of the Environmental Protection Bureau, who was responsible for handling disputes, coordinated the matter and repeated it.
I told the director of the company that my shoes were worn out after running so many times for this trivial matter. Later, the director had no choice but to give me a red envelope of 500 yuan to settle the matter."
If your official is as clean as water, how can you rely on his officials to be as slippery as oil?
A strong thought arose in Chen Qingyun's mind: The officialdom is really a muddy pond. If I were in office, I would have to clean it up.
Chen Qingyun said: "What should we do now? My dad's project was hard-won. We can't give up because of these people's chaos, right?"
Ding Guansheng said with a smile: "Your father's project is not big or small. If it is big, it is a cooperation with Ziwei University, which still has some impact; if it is small, after all, the investment is not large and it will not have a big impact on the city's economy.
I think this way, you can enlarge the scale of the project, and then find a joint venture partner, preferably rice-funded, or Hong Kong-funded, which will also work. In this way, it will become a foreign-invested investment project, which can be included in my management and
As for the scope of coordination, I will find a way to include the project as a key project of the municipal government and get it into the sight of the municipal Party committee secretary and mayor. Those brats will have some scruples, which will save them a lot of trouble. I can also send someone to handle the procedures for you. As for
For funds, it is of course better to have real foreign capital, otherwise it is better to find some funds and transfer them from abroad, which is what many companies do."
Chen Qingyun thought to himself: Is this okay? Of course he wouldn't say it, but he was still very grateful to Ding Guansheng. This was really giving Chen Qingyun advice. So he said sincerely: "Thank you, Uncle Ding. I will discuss it with my father when I get back.
Try to handle it as Uncle Ding said, just to cause trouble to Uncle Ding."
Chen Qingyun was unsure. After returning home, he recounted everything Ding Guansheng said to his father in detail. Chen Yongjun laughed loudly: "If this is the case, this matter will be easy to handle. If you ask Lawrence, he should have something to do. Finally,
So that we can invite him to come to our house to celebrate the New Year, and we can sum it up."
Chen Qingyun was stunned after hearing this: Lawrence has a way?
Chen Yongjun saw Chen Qingyun's strange expression and knew that Lawrence had not told Chen Qingyun about the discussion with him. He thought that this American devil was really cunning and helped Chen Yongjun. In the end, Chen Qingyun would still accept his love, and he was not afraid that Chen Qingyun would not accept it.
Chen Yongjun stopped talking in circles and said seriously: "Qingyun, on the way back to Liquan last time, Lawrence made a suggestion to me, asking me to take on another project of producing fireworks. The Durun company where Lawrence works places an order directly with us instead of looking for an intermediary.
link. As for the varieties that we cannot produce, we can purchase them from other manufacturers first and then supply them to them. Lawrence originally planned to set up an office in Province H, but this plan is also planned to be cancelled. They purchase about 100 million meters of fireworks from China every year
Yuan, most of which are concentrated in Liquan and Anjiang cities, of which Liquan is about 60 million yuan. Lawrence said that he can hand over 30 million yuan of business to Chen Yongjun and pay it in full in advance. This is a big deal for you. Lawrence is here
You’ve spent a lot of money on yourself.”
Chen Qingyun was shocked again, thinking that Lawrence really wanted to repay his kindness.
Chen Yongjun continued: "I don't know what happened between you and Lawrence, because this is not something that ordinary friendship can do, and he took the initiative. At first, I was still wondering if there was a trap in it.
But he offered to pay the full payment in advance, 30 million yuan, so it’s him who should be worried.”
Chen Qingyun saw that things had reached this point, and if he did not explain clearly, his father would always be worried, so he briefly explained what happened in the South China Sea and put forward his opinion: "Lawrence should be trustworthy. I will invite him to Liquan as soon as possible.
"
Chen Yongjun breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, you should contact him and invite him to come to our house to celebrate the New Year. There should be no lack of etiquette. The phone at home is open for international long distance, so there is no need to go to the post and telecommunications office."
Chen Qingyun picked up the phone and connected it after a while. Lawrence had not yet gotten out of bed. When he heard Qingyun's voice, he said excitedly: "Hello, Qingyun, my good brother, miss me."
Chen Qingyun was infected by Lawrence's excitement: "Brother, I won't disturb your good things. Can you come to China? My dad invites you and Sally to my house to celebrate the New Year. Can you give me a favor?"
Lawrence's voice paused on the phone: "Face? I don't know, tell me how. As long as you explain clearly, I will reward you."
Chen Qingyun laughed loudly: "It's easy to give me a favor. All you have to do is accept my invitation and come to my house."
Lawrence also laughed: "Okay, give me a favor, give me a favor, I will definitely give you a favor. I was also planning to call you and wanted to go to your house to celebrate the New Year, but I didn't expect your call to come. I will book a flight tomorrow. You have to give me a favor."
I’ve prepared something delicious and fun.”
Putting down the phone, Chen Qingyun raised his fist at his father: "Yeah, dad, it's done."
Chen Yongjun was also very happy: "I will prepare relevant materials immediately and try to finalize the matter during the Spring Festival."
The project does not require Chen Qingyun to devote too much energy. At this time, he is thinking about another thing.
