After having lunch at "Old Swordfish"'s house, everyone set off back to the city in the afternoon.
The "general" also booked a suite for the old couple at the "Victory Guest House".
And unlike others, since they have a daughter working here, the couple enjoys extremely considerate and exceptional treatment.
The room Shao Juan arranged for them not only faced the sun, but also had new towels, toothbrushes, slippers, soap, and boiling water prepared.
In addition, knowing that my father loved to listen to operas, I even gave him a chat box. Knowing that my mother was afraid of the cold, I added two extra quilts. It was more thoughtful and comfortable than receiving a big boss.
When the "general" met, he sighed with Hong Yanwu in private.
"Look, you have to be a girl to love your parents. Be so careful and considerate. Otherwise, your daughter is your parents' little cotton-padded jacket."
Hong Yanwu laughed and said, "I think you are a bit dissatisfied when you call me Long Wangshu. Why, you just have a son and you miss your daughter?"
Unexpectedly, when the "general" mentioned this, he not only admitted it bluntly, but also felt a little disappointed.
"Hey, who says it isn't? It's so beautiful to have two children. But we don't have this fate. It's all because we got married too late. You see, a few years ago it was advertised that 'one is a lot, two is just right, three is too much'
'Well, who would have known that since March this year, it would be 'good to have only one child'. Well, thinking about this, I feel sorry for my son's next generation. What kind of children are they, aunts, uncles, aunts, uncles?
But it’s all gone…”
"You're really thinking far ahead." Hong Yanwu couldn't help but smile after hearing this. And he revealed the matter thoroughly with just one sentence.
"Actually, in my opinion, you are really thinking too much. Why are people like us afraid of the family planning policy? If you want to have children forever, who can stop you? As long as you and Han Ying look away
That's fine. If we don't become a leader at work or join the party, the worst we can do is become a model of backwardness. Apart from fines and going to the hospital to have a baby at our own expense, what else can we do to you? You don't even have to worry about registering.
Things in society are just like that, no matter how much we spend money..."
Not to mention, who could say that he was not thinking about "general"? He was immediately relieved and smiled happily.
But he didn't know that because of his words, Hong Yanwu was actually feeling lucky for his eldest brother and sister-in-law. He felt that his eldest sister-in-law had to catch up with the policies when she was pregnant, which was really a blessing. Otherwise, he would be like them.
An honest person is just a child.
After getting off work in the afternoon, the "Shengli Guesthouse" suddenly became lively.
Because not only the prospective son-in-law of "Old Saury" rushed over to visit his prospective father-in-law and prospective mother-in-law, but also those "sea-bumpers" who came here to see Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
Everyone was present, and no one was left empty handed. Even Xiang Hong and Fan Gang's sister and brother were here.
But on this day, the focus of these "sea bumpers" was no longer on Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. "Tang Xin'er" suddenly became the focus of attention.
You must know that these brats are very young, and many of them have not yet found a partner. This year, there have been many sensational scenes in foreign movies in the cinema, which has long disturbed their minds.
Who can move his eyes when seeing such a beautiful girl?
Due to nature, even envy and admiration, poverty is inevitable, and I feel as excited as a chicken blood.
Fortunately, "Tang Xin'er" is well-informed and is the master of the scene. She can deal with it very easily. Not only is she not intimidated by the willfulness and momentum of these rough people, but she talks and laughs with everyone, and her attitude is very good.
nature.
And he even made an extraordinary move, specially giving a gold ring from "Sister Agou"'s jewelry box to Xiang Hong as a wedding gift.
This immediately gave her a hardcore "protector".
As a result, under the control of "Sister-in-law Shrimp", these guys soon no longer dared to make mistakes.
However, this did not dampen everyone's joy. On the contrary, they were even more happy.
Because Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan not only brought everyone a lot of specialties from the capital, they also prepared a special gift.
That is, the Sanyo 2564 cassette player and the Philips ar508 cassette player were bought on a per capita basis.
The eight Sanyo 2564 cassette recorders are purely imported products. They are small in size and only have one speaker. They cost 170 yuan. They are given to singles.
And those two Philips AR508s are big dual-speaker units assembled by the Beijing Radio Factory, priced at 520 yuan. They were specially prepared for "General", Han Ying, and "Xiaipizi" Xiang Hong.
These ten units cost Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan more than 3,000 yuan in total. Because they were expensive and afraid of falling, they even sent them to Bincheng in advance via military mail through Yang Weifan.
After Yang Weifan received the goods, he kept them in the small western-style building until this afternoon when he drove over to pick them up.
You know, these are all new gadgets on the market in Beijing. Compared with Panasonic's "Baner Brick", it can not only listen to tapes, but also has a radio function. You can't see it at all in Bincheng.
Moreover, in addition to hardware, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan also provided software services and gave away more than a dozen stringed Teresa Teng tapes.
Not to mention, as soon as the gifts were distributed, almost everyone screamed. Not only "General" and "Xiaobizi", Xiang Hong was particularly happy and thanked him again and again. Those boys wanted to hug Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan and kiss them
.
Shao Juan and Fan Gang were equally happy from ear to ear, because "Old Saury" couldn't enjoy the sound of Mi Mi, so he directly gave this thing to his daughter. But Fan Gang didn't expect that he would still have a share. How could this not be beautiful?
The atmosphere was warm and everyone was happy.
But then there was trouble again, because the group of people got into a fight over who should treat them to dinner.
Originally, "Old Swordfish" said that he would come to invite him. But his prospective son-in-law, a junior cadre of the Maritime Safety Administration, was quite honest and would give up a month's salary to do the job for him.
But these "Hai Bangzi" are all very wealthy, and they don't have the guts to take advantage of others, so they are vying for money.
What no one expected was that Yang Weifan stood up right now. With just one sentence, everyone was stunned.
"Don't grab it, this meal must be mine. Why? Because I'm leaving at ten o'clock tonight. 'General', 'Xiapaizi', I'm sorry, I can't even go to your banquet."
But there is nothing I can do about it, because I have some matters at home, and my parents are waiting for me to return in Beijing. Don’t blame me. Originally, my family asked me to leave yesterday, but I delayed it all day just to be able to get together with everyone...
"
To say that things must be reversed when they go to extremes, this incident happened just when everyone was happiest.
But this matter is excusable, let alone blaming it, we can only understand it with emotion and reason, and even feel moved.
Because I drove around all day today, I picked up the old couple of "Old Saury" and delivered everyone's things.
After everything was arranged, I didn’t talk about my own affairs until now. I also invited everyone to dinner. How considerate this is. Who can say that others are unjust? Why don’t you give them this face?
No one argued anymore. When we sat together at the dinner table in the "Qunying Building", everyone fell into a reluctant and reluctant mood.
To be honest, Yang Weifan, a junior from a high-ranking official, has not only never put on airs, but has actually helped us a lot in private since we came into contact with him.
The "Hai Bangzi" have long regarded him as one of their own and an indispensable member of their small group. On a special day like tomorrow, who is missing him alone, who can't feel a little regretful?
Therefore, even when faced with a table full of delicacies, everyone was not in high spirits. Both "Old Saury" and Hong Yanwu saw that Yang Weifan was embarrassed, so they raised their glasses together to stir up the atmosphere.
"Old Saury" is old and prudent, and he means that everyone should not betray Yang Weifan's good intentions and make people feel unhappy before leaving.
Hong Yanwu said that friends are not just for two or three days. When Yang Weifan comes back, he will continue to educate this guy endlessly.
Finally, the owner of "General" also spoke. He half-jokingly mentioned Yang Weifan's embarrassing incident. He asked Yang Weifan to come back quickly after finishing his family affairs, and strive to surpass the eight-meter mark this year. Don't always
They stay at the elementary level of fishing for "sea reds" and "thorning pots", which is an embarrassment to the people's soldiers.
In this way, the atmosphere finally returned to normal. Everyone started to exchange cups and glasses again, laughing and talking about the interesting things that happened around them in life.
But what Hong Yanwu and the "general" didn't expect was that when the banquet was about to end, Yang Weifan actually quietly called them outside.
While smoking, he told them that because the family matter could not be resolved quickly for a while, he might not be able to return to Bincheng for a long time. He didn't tell them the specific situation just now because he was afraid of destroying the atmosphere that everyone had finally built up.
And just when Hong Yanwu and the "general" looked stunned, Yang Weifan left them a phone number in Beijing, saying that the place where he lived in Beijing was not a place where he could come and go casually, and the only way to find him was this.
Called.
As for himself, he will leave immediately. Since he is on a military plane, there is no need to send him off. He can just ask them to explain to everyone and say sorry.
It was so simple, so sudden. After smoking a cigarette, Yang Weifan shook hands with the two of them happily and disappeared in front of the "Qunying Building".
Hong Yanwu and the "general" stayed there for a long time, relatively speechless, and both could not help but feel a hint of worry.
Because even though they drank a lot, and even though Yang Weifan tried his best to appear relaxed during the whole process, they could all tell that Yang Weifan was forcing a smile. Because Yang Weifan didn't even take the train and had to take a military plane back to Beijing overnight,
It shows that there is quite a lot of trouble in his family.
What problems will a powerful family like this encounter? What will Yang Weifan face when he returns to Beijing?
They really can't think of it.
The meal hosted by Yang Weifan really made them a little worried...
