The old lady didn't speak, Du Fei couldn't say much, and Qin Huairou felt even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, Du Fei is thick-skinned. After the initial discomfort, he quickly calmed down and started eating and drinking when he should.
After more than half an hour, the three of them finished their meal and got up to send Qin Ma away.
After saying goodbye to Du Fei and leaving the canteen, Qin Huairou pushed her bicycle to see Qin's mother to the station.
It’s not even four o’clock yet, and there is still the last long-distance bus back to Qinjiatun. .??.
The old lady came in the morning and had already seen Granny Jia and several children. She didn't want to stay here overnight, so she just went back.
As soon as she came out of the cafeteria, Qin Huairou complained, "Mom, what are you doing? You didn't say a word."
Qin's mother smiled and said, "What do you want mom to say? Just come here. It means that this man has you in his heart. You ask mom to support you and say something else, just in case something doesn't sound right."
, why won’t it fall on you later?”
Qin Huairou pouted and got on her bicycle.
She didn't think about it and said, "Xiao Du is not that kind of person. He...he is very good to me."
Qin's mother was sitting behind, holding her daughter's waist, and said with a smile, "Well, I can see that your hair, with your thin hands, has caught up with the older girls from the landlord's family in the past."
Qin Huairou's face turned red and she couldn't answer the question.
In the past, in rural areas, it was not a good word to say that people had thin hands and thin hair. It was to accuse them of being lazy and unable to work.
But Qin's mother obviously didn't mean this, and then said, "Huairou, um... listen to my mother, don't have any evil thoughts, just keep the good days now."
Qin Huairou understood that this was her mother's reminder to him not to have any thoughts of marrying Du Fei.
"Yeah~" Qin Huairou responded.
Qin's mother said again, "By the way, how is your fourth uncle's family, Jingrou? I haven't seen that girl today either."
Qin Huai said to Ju, "Jing Rou is doing well. She is studying accounting. Du Fei helped transfer her to the Finance Department."
There was also an accountant in the village, who was responsible for managing money. Mother Qin was surprised, "Yes! That's really good. I'll tell the Fourth and his wife when I go back, and it will definitely make them happy."
Qin Huairou also smiled, but did not forget to remind her, "Mom, don't mention Xiao Du when you go back. When Jingrou transfers to the Finance Department, just say I handled it."
Qin's mother said "hmm" and felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Qin Huairou and Du Fei still had a shady relationship in the final analysis.
But that's fine. If Qin Huairou did it, she would gain face among her sisters-in-law in the future.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and soon they arrived at the bus station.
This is not the main station, the bus has not arrived yet.
Qin Huairou took the things she brought back to Qin's mother from the bicycle and told her to be careful on the road.
Mother Qin laughed.
When she came this time, she really saw it. She was not just bragging about the Chinese New Year. Her daughter's life had undergone earth-shaking changes.
When I saw Du Fei again, a big stone fell in my heart.
While waiting for the bus, Qin Huairou asked, "By the way, Mom, do you still remember that our village fished out a lot of ocean from the Qintun River?"
Qin's mother was stunned and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"
Qin Huai Judo: "I was on the street a few days ago and saw someone collecting them for five yuan each, which is more valuable than the average 'Yuan Datou'."
Qin Huai softly lied and did not mention Du Fei's problem.
She was already very smart, but Du Fei made her brain shut down last night, so she didn't react.
When I got home afterwards and thought about the incident again, I clearly felt that Du Fei was very concerned about those "standing people" silver coins. Qin Huairou thought that she couldn't help with other things. Only by being extra careful when getting along, thinking about what Du Fei thought, and thinking about what Du Fei thought, could she show her own value at the critical moment.
Therefore, after discovering that Du Fei seemed to be interested in the "Standing Man" silver dollar, she naturally became interested.
Qin's mother was surprised and said, "How valuable are they? It turns out that Xiao Dongzi from the east end of the village came to the city to sell them, and each one cost less than two yuan."
When Qin Huairou heard this, she knew that Xiao Dongzi had been tricked.
Although the price of the stationer's silver coins was not as exaggerated as she said, they normally cost three yuan each.
Qin Huaiju said, "Mom, please don't tell anyone. That's all I heard."
Qin's mother nodded. If she could give birth to a smart daughter like Qin Huairou, Qin's mother would naturally not be a fool.
Qin Huairou asked again, "By the way, Mom, this kind of ocean is really fished from the river? How can we come from a poor and remote country like ours with so much ocean?"
Qin's mother smiled and said, "Don't you know this? When you were a kid, you took Jingrou and the three fat guys down to the river, and everyone touched them, but you were left with nothing."
Qin Huairou's mouth twitched when she mentioned the embarrassing things she did when she was a child. "Mom~ I mean, where did these oceans come from? Why are you mentioning this!"
Qin Ma stretched her neck and looked at the road, and said absently, "Who knows? The village chief said that there might be a large tomb of a noble person in the past in the mountains. It collapsed after heavy rain. He took the burials inside and rushed them into the river.
Already..."
Qin Huairou also knows this saying. Some say it comes from the Ming Dynasty, and some say it comes from the Yuan Dynasty.
But yesterday I heard Du Fei say that this kind of "standing person" in the ocean was only cast in 1910, and it became popular only in the Republic of China.
How could he be buried in an ancient tomb?
But there is no need to explain these to Qin Ma.
Just at this moment, the long-distance bus drove by. Qin's mother didn't care to speak at first sight. She immediately picked up the bag at hand, said goodbye to Qin Huairou, and got on the bus to buy a ticket.
He waved his hand towards the inside through the car window.
Qin Huairou watched the car leave and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Originally, when she heard that his parents were coming and were going to meet Du Fei, she was really worried, for fear of causing a big fuss.
Fortunately, the final result was pretty good.
I just casually asked about the ‘Zhanren’ Dayang at the end, but there was no useful information.
…
A few days later, September 29th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The day after tomorrow is the National Day, and all units are preparing for celebrations.
In comparison, the Mid-Autumn Festival is less noticeable.
If the conditions are met, the unit will give you a piece of mooncake; if the conditions are not met, they will simply not mention it.
However, today is of extraordinary significance to Du Fei.
Two days before the National Day, Du Fei received a special gift.
He previously provided important clues to the arrest of Wang Wenming, and later personally captured Monk Jinshun and solved a shocking case.
Du Fei's contribution is absolutely beyond doubt.
However, his age and years of working experience have restrictions on him.
In addition, Du Fei himself is not in the public an system, so it is a bit difficult to give specific rewards.
Until today, Du Fei received a phone call from the street office and was called to the city office.
When I arrived at Chen Zhongyuan's office, I saw Chen Zhongyuan rubbing his hands together and walking back and forth in the office as soon as he entered the room.
Du Feixian
I was stunned for a moment, thinking something big had happened.
As soon as they met, Chen Zhongyuan rushed up to him and gave him a bear hug. He said carelessly, "Xiao Fei, that's great! That's great!"
After saying that, he slapped Du Fei on the shoulder again.
Du Fei blinked his eyes and listened to Chen Zhongyuan's explanation. Then he suddenly understood and became excited.
With a quick step, he came to Chen Zhongyuan's desk and picked up a brand new set of 'choices' placed on it.
Du Fei swallowed, stretched out his hand and carefully opened the first page.
I saw written in writing on the title page: "To Comrade Du Fei, he will make great progress and make new achievements again!" .??.
For a moment, Du Fei couldn't tell what he was feeling.
That very personal font.
Although it is only eight short words, it has an inexplicable power.
It gave Du Fei the urge to "repay the king for his favor on the golden stage and lead the Jade Dragon to die for the king."
Du Fei is not a young boy in his early twenties.
Even after living for more than forty years before and after time travel, this feeling is still strong.
At this moment, Du Fei became even more determined.
Gotta do something.
Even if he knew that even without him, Daxia would still return to the center stage of the world fifty years later.
But if he could make this process faster, smoother, more glorious, and less regretful, even just a little bit, his life would not be in vain.
However, after the idea came up.
Du Fei was a little confused. Although he had made a decision, how to start and where to start were the questions.
At this time, Chen Zhongyuan came over, patted Du Fei's back solemnly, and sighed, "Xiao Fei, I really envy you! If you had given this to me, it would have been worth it in this life!"
Du Fei came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Third uncle, you are still young, so you will definitely have a chance."
Chen Zhongyuan smiled and said nothing.
And with Du Fei having this, no one can touch him unless there is a problem of principle.
Suddenly, the district organization decided to promote Du Fei.
From the seventh-level clerk to the deputy section level, the salary for the eighteenth-level clerk suddenly increased from 37.5 yuan to 87.5 yuan a month, more than doubling.
Du Fei was not particularly surprised when he received the notice.
Yesterday, we heard rumors from Chen Zhongyuan that he must be promoted out of the ordinary.
It was a bit surprising to mention the minor subject all of a sudden.
Du Fei originally planned that it would be good to be mentioned as a first-level clerk.
After all, he is too young, has been working for less than a year, and has not graduated from college.
But having said that, with Du Fei's achievements this time, it is not too much to mention a minor subject.
All things considered, it falls somewhere between the two options.
Being able to take minor courses is somewhat of a matter of luck.
However, most people on the street don't know what's going on.
Suddenly I heard that Du Fei had taken a minor subject, and I was immediately shocked.
Various discussions, various speculations, until some well-informed people got some clues from District Organization B.
It dawned on me when I learned that Du Fei had made great achievements and was promoted as an exception.
Fortunately, the National Day is approaching and everyone has their own things to do.
After the National Day, the interest in Du Fei's matter also dropped.
Even so, he has received many visitors at work and at home these days.
The first batch were Jiang Donglai and Gu Bingzhong.
They have a daughter-in-law and a nephew who work in the same office as Du Fei. They were the first to receive the letter and the fastest to respond.
Needless to say, Jiang Donglai had moved closer to Du Fei early on and became the chief of the security section of the steel rolling mill, all thanks to Du Fei's help.
It's just that getting along with Du Fei has always been a bit awkward. At first, Du Fei called him "Uncle", and later he called him "Lao Jiang", but it was awkward for him to call him Du Fei. Calling him by his first name seemed alienating, so he called him Xiao Du.
Seems disrespectful.
Now that things are finally getting better, Jiang Donglai and Sun Lan came over that night and called each other 'section chief', the one they called Shunliu.
Gu Bingzhong learned the news from Xiao Zhang.
He also came over on the same day. Although his position was higher than Du Fei's, he owed Du Fei a favor because of the rat trouble in the grain depot last time.
I just took this opportunity to strengthen my relationship with Du Fei.
Gu Bingzhong was a veteran of the agency, and he knew that Du Fei could be promoted to the top position at his age, and it was definitely not because of Chen Zhongyuan.
After all, Chen Zhongyuan's own height is limited, and there is absolutely no need to help Du Fei grab time.
In the following days, Du Fei's family welcomed him.
It wasn't until early October that it completely stopped.
In October, after the cold dew solar term, the temperature dropped significantly.
People had already put on shirts and underpants, and some who were afraid of the cold even put on thin sweaters.
That night, Du Fei was at Zhu Ting's house. It was rare that Zhu's father got off work early, so they had a meal together.
After dinner, Dad Zhu didn't work either. He sat in the living room, watching TV and chatting about home affairs for a while.
Zhu Ting is learning from Zhu's mother and vows to knit a set of sweaters and trousers for Du Fei.
This project is not small. Judging from her progress, Du Fei estimated that he would have to wait until next spring to put it on.
Du Fei sat with Dad Zhu, drinking the Tieguanyin that Zhu Ting made just now, and watching the news that was being broadcast.
Suddenly, Dad Zhu said, "Old Xu came to Jiangxi. He said he had a stomach problem and was hospitalized for recuperation."
Du Fei was slightly different. When Minister Xu left, he was quite strong. How could he be so tall and suffer from stomach problems as soon as he arrived in the south?
Could it be that he is acclimatized?
But as soon as I changed my mind, I understood.
Since you want to retreat, you should simply retreat completely.
Dad Zhu asked again, "What do you think of Lao Xu?"
Here, Du Fei had no scruples. He thought about it and said, "He is a smart man who knows how to advance and retreat. He is not greedy for power. He can jump out at critical moments... very powerful."
Dad Zhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You see things more clearly than many people."
Then he sighed again, "Life is full of ups and downs, and no one can have smooth sailing. The most important thing when doing things is to make progress without retreating. That will only lead you to a dead end step by step."
Du Fei heard that Father Zhu seemed to have something on his mind.
But these words were definitely not meant for him. They probably came out of his feelings after encountering something.
Du Fei did not dare to continue, and Zhu's father did not continue to talk about this topic. Instead, he asked, "By the way, you and Xiaoting are free, go and see your uncle."
When Zhu Ting heard this, she interrupted and asked, "What's wrong, uncle?"
Dad Zhu sighed and said, "It's because my heart is not very good. I was admitted to the hospital the day before yesterday. I'm old and my health is failing."
Du Fei's heart moved. Hearing what Zhu's father said, Uncle Zhu's condition seemed to be quite serious this time.
In fact, when he met Li Mingfei the day before yesterday, he heard that Uncle Zhu was hospitalized, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Besides, Dad Zhu took the initiative to mention it, so Du Fei certainly couldn't ignore it.
