Chapter 34 Travel to the Provincial City (Part 1)
While waiting for Huang Wei, Yu Tao had already found a public telephone booth and called his classmate Huang Haigen in the provincial capital. After Huang Wei got on the bus, Liu Siyu started the car, left the city, and drove onto the expressway to the provincial capital. The staff at the toll station saw that it was a military license plate, but they didn't ask any questions and let them go.
The expressway from Pennsylvania to the provincial capital was only opened to traffic this year. The road conditions were very good. In addition, the car had excellent performance. Liu Siyu stepped on the accelerator and the speed reached 120 yards. Huang Wei looked at Tianye running out of the window in the back seat, and was in a happy mood to chat with Yu Tao about some interesting things. As soon as Liu Siyu answered a few words, Huang Wei stopped him from interrupting, saying that he is the director now, and the lives of several people are in his hands. It is the main thing to concentrate on driving, which made Liu Siyu feel depressed.
More than two hours later, the three of them arrived at the provincial capital. At this time, Yu Tao's paging rang. He took it down and saw that Huang Haigen had called, so he asked Liu Siyu to find a public telephone booth to stop the car and go back the phone. It turned out that Huang Haigen heard that the three of them were coming, so he gathered several classmates from the provincial capital in a big hotel called Chenghua waiting for them, and let them go there directly.
Liu Siyu is not very familiar with this provincial capital. Yu Tao has been to the passenger seat many times due to his professionalism, so he naturally guided the way in the passenger seat. He went around and around and finally arrived at the Chenghua Hotel located in the south of the city. As soon as Liu Siyu drove to the parking lot of the hotel, he saw Shen Qing, a classmate from Yanjing Normal University, standing at the door, looking around, obviously waiting for him to have a few.
It was not until Liu Siyu and the others came out of the military vehicle that Shen Qing discovered them. He thought that these three students from Pennsylvania were at most coming over in the city. Unexpectedly, they were driving a military vehicle by themselves. The idea of wanting Liu Siyu and the others to show off was gone.
When the classmates met, they couldn't help but greeted each other enthusiastically. Then Shen Qing led the way in front, and several people went up the second floor and headed straight to a private room.
Following Shen Qing into the private room, he saw several people drinking tea and chatting while eating melon seeds. Liu Siyu glanced at him and finally stopped on the other person.
It was a girl, wearing a red turtleneck sweater on her upper body, a snow-white scarf, a pair of jeans on her lower body, a pair of gem-like eyes embedded on her pink face, and a head of beautiful hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Why did she come? She is not his classmate.
Liu Siyu's heart was beating wildly and constantly guessing.
Seeing a few people coming in, the classmates stood up enthusiastically, especially Zheng Linxiu and Su Na, who called their names excitedly, but Huang Haigen steadily smiled at the three of them.
Yu Tao had already rushed over, gave Zheng Linxiu and Su Na a hug each of them, and then shook hands with Huang Haigen. As for the girl, he obviously didn't know him, so he had to nod, show a charming smile, and introduced himself: "Beauty, my surname is Yu Tao. I'm very happy to know you. Can you tell me your name?"
This kid is born with this kind of social skills. When he was in Normal University, he was the master of picking up girls among several classmates Liu Siyu played well. The girl pursed her lips and smiled slightly. The familiar movement made Liu Siyu feel palpitations again.
"Hello, my name is Liu Yujia." The girl stretched out her hand openly and shook lightly with Yu Tao.
It turns out that her name is Liu Yujia, what a nice name, Liu Siyu thought to himself.
Huang Wei has not met these classmates for several years, and just smiled happily. When Huang Haigen saw Liu Siyu staring at Liu Yujia in a daze, he stood up and pointed at Liu Yujia and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is my cousin Liu Yujia, and this is my classmates Liu Siyu and Huang Wei."
"Cousin, you don't need to introduce you. I have known you as a classmate for a long time, but I don't know his name is Liu Siyu." Unexpectedly, Liu Yujia pointed at Liu Siyu, said with a smile, and then turned around and nodded to Huang Wei.
"You know?" Huang Haigen was shocked. His cousin has just returned from abroad and has been studying in the United States. She only came back a few months ago. How could they know each other?
"I remembered it, it's like this. That day, I saw a girl's bag falling off at the airport in Yanjing that day, so I picked it up and chased her and returned it to her. Unexpectedly, it was my classmate's cousin. It seems that the world is really too small." Liu Siyu immediately took over the topic as if he was suddenly enlightened, and at the same time he quietly blinked at Liu Yujia.
Liu Siyu was lying, and Huang Haigen had an idea. According to his own understanding, this cousin had not been to Yanjing in the past ten years, and he met him by chance at the Yanjing Airport. He would cheat him.
Liu Yujia was about to speak, but she didn't expect that Liu Siyu quickly took over the conversation and made up a story that she couldn't be more rustic, so that she could never say anything grateful for her that she had long thought. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and immediately thought of the reason why Liu Siyu didn't tell the truth.
However, when she looked at Liu Siyu, the soft waves in her eyes were as wet as fog. The person who made her dreams and searched for them all came to her as expected. Her heart was as surging as waves, but her face was as calm as water.
Isn’t it just to find him when I returned to China? God has eyes.
Liu Siyu was stunned at first, then adjusted his emotions and chatted enthusiastically with his classmates about the situation after separation. Everyone had been in society for a few years. As they were talking, Yu Tao sat with Huang Haigen. Huang Wei and Shen Qing both found common topics and sat together. Liu Siyu had to accompany the three girls to play gossip and other things.
Liu Yujia listened quietly most of the time, her beautiful eyes turned around from time to time, but most of the time she still glanced at Liu Siyu in the direction. Seeing Liu Siyu looking at him, she hurriedly fell over.
After the waiter set up the meal, everyone gathered around the table. Huang Haigen was the oldest and had the highest official position. He had already been a section chief of the provincial government's poverty alleviation office. Naturally, he sat in the chief. Liu Yujia was next to Huang Haigen, and then Su Na and Zheng Linxiu were then Su Na and Zheng Linxiu. After Su Na came back, she was assigned to work in a tax office in a district of the provincial capital. Zheng Linxiu changed her career and became a prosecutor in the provincial court. Only Shen Qing did not change her career and was assigned to teach at the Provincial No. 3 Middle School.
Seeing that the dishes were served, Huang Haigen lifted the Wuliangye on the table, opened it, took several men's cups, poured them all over, and then turned the turntable and asked each to pick up a cup by himself. The three ladies each opened a bottle of drinks.
Huang Haigen picked up the wine glass and said emotionally: "Since we came out of Yanjing Normal University, we have gone our separate ways. Today is the first time that our classmates in Pingxi Province have reunites. Come and have made this cup for our classmates' friendship."
After saying that, he took the lead in drinking the wine in his hand in one sip. Although his official position is not very high, he is a real-powered department. He was too much when others invited him to eat. The amount of alcohol was completely different from that in Normal University. Not to mention that the wine in this cup was less than one or two taels of wine. Once, he had a meal with someone else with the director. He still had four cups in a row, but his expression remained unchanged.
When Liu Siyu saw Huang Haigen drinking, he raised his neck and poured the wine in. Although Yu Tao was a reporter from the city newspaper, he was also a comrade who tested alcohol. This amount of wine was not a problem, only Huang Wei and Shen Qing. Due to professional reasons, their alcohol content was still the same as when they were in college. One or two ounces blushed, two ounces dizzy, and three ounces fell down. When he saw it, it was a big cup. The two of them immediately looked timid. Liu Siyu touched Huang Wei lightly and whispered: "You can drink this cup, but you can't drink the next cup and pour it for me."
Huang Wei glanced at Liu Siyu gratefully, held the wine glass, and also learned to drink it with great enthusiasm.
The ladies were watching from the side and just picked up the drinks for a moment. However, the classmates were classmates after all. Seeing that Huang Wei and Shen Qing were a little difficult, they all said that everyone would eat some food first and drink wine slowly.
Liu Yujia's beautiful eyes were not looking at Liu Siyu.
After drinking the first glass, the atmosphere at the table naturally became warm. Yu Tao picked up the wine glass, stood up, and toasted the classmates in the provincial capital. Then Liu Siyu also stood up and said sincerely to Huang Haigen, Su Na, Zheng Linxiu: "Haigen, Su Na, Linxiu, I toast three of you one cup, Shen Qing said it's enough. A glass of wine has two meanings. One is to express gratitude to everyone for your care when he was at Normal University, and the other is to hope that several leaders will see it.
In the face of my old classmates, I will take good care of me, the township official from the mountains. Our place is poor. After that, I drank the second glass of wine. Huang Haigen was not in good condition and had a bad relationship with Liu Siyu when he was at Normal University. However, considering that they were all classmates from Normal University, they were receiving him in the provincial capital. In the introduction just now, after hearing that Liu Siyu had transferred to the place, he was just the deputy secretary of a small town.
Unintentionally, I heard Shen Qing say that they drove an off-road vehicle from the army. I was a little solemn when I looked at Liu Siyu. He knew that this car was definitely not created by Yu Tao. The boy came to the provincial capital to find him twice, and both of them were fighting, while Huang Wei was even more unlikely. That was only Liu Siyu, who had been in the army for three years, had this possibility. The ordinary units in the off-road vehicle army were not qualified to be equipped. In addition to the armed police detachment, only the military sub-district was available in Pennsylvania. Is Liu Siyu related to the leaders of the military sub-district? Later, I found out that this kid knew his cousin, which forced him to be suspicious. You must know that his cousin is from Haidong City, and it only took a few months to return to China. As far as he knows, he hasn't arrived in Yanjing for ten years. How could they meet at the airport in Yanjing? But why didn't Liu Yujia expose his lies?
These thoughts just flashed like lightning in his mind, but they were not revealed on his face. Seeing Liu Siyu say this, he playfully picked up the wine glass, touched Liu Siyu and Shen Qing for a moment, and said with a smile: "We are classmates, of course we should help each other. If anyone has any problems in the future, let's say we will do our best to help. Are you okay?"
"Okay!" Everyone was infected, and even Su Na, Zheng Linxiu, Shen Qing, Yu Tao and Huang Wei all shouted.
"Since that's the case, then Yu Tao and Huang Wei should also hold it up. For our friendship, everyone has done this glass." Without waiting for others to answer, he drank the wine first, and then lit the empty glass in a cool way. Only then did Yu Tao realize that he had to drink it with a bitter face. After Liu Siyu finished drinking the wine, he snatched Huang Wei's cup and said, "Our teacher Huang is a role model. He didn't drink alcohol. Today he met a classmate and then drank it. He had a limited alcohol tolerance. I helped him drink half of this glass. Everyone said it was OK?"
Huang Haigen glanced at Liu Siyu and said with a smile: "Huang Wei and you are classmates, so we are not classmates? You have helped him drink, should you also have a drink?"
Liu Siyu smiled and said, "You are the leader of the province. As long as you give me instructions, I will definitely drink it. However, I know that your Poverty Alleviation Office is a rich and rich unit. This wine cannot be drunk for nothing. Otherwise, if it is spread, it will wipe out our Section Chief Huang's face."
Liu Siyu knew that Huang Haigen was the section chief of the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office, so he kept thinking about how to get some money from him.
"Haha, you will be poor, but you have made the wrong plan. I am just a small section chief. Although I have flowed a lot of poverty alleviation funds, I have no control."
Unexpectedly, although Huang Haigen didn't work for a long time, he had rich experience in officialdom, and he could see through Liu Siyu's tricks at a glance.
Liu Siyu pretended to be embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly: "The leaders of this provincial capital are very conscious and can see through my thoughts at a glance. Haha!" Everyone laughed.
After receiving it, he said to Huang Haigen with emotion: "Come on, I sincerely respect you for this cup, for your promise of certain help just now, just for you not forgetting us classmates who are still working hard in the mountains."
Huang Haigen raised his glass and touched Liu Siyu. The two looked at each other and drank it. After taking a bite of the dish, they said unintentionally: "Recently, the country allocated a batch of special funds for education poverty alleviation, specifically used to renovate dilapidated houses in primary and secondary schools. But your school is afraid that there will be no dilapidated houses. Haha."
After saying that, he focused on eating food.
When Liu Siyu heard this, he felt happy and took out the cigarette and sent it to a bank. Huang Haigen took it, but he didn't want to do it anymore. Yu Tao lit it for him. He took a sip, his eyes changed, stared at the cigarette for a long time, and said in surprise: "Your cigarette?"
Liu Siyu smiled and compared the action of not making a sound. Soon Yu Tao also noticed the special thing about the cigarette. He was shocked but said nothing.
Huang Wei and Shen Qing did not notice any abnormality.
After the meal, when the few people saw that Huang Wei and Shen Qing were drunk, Su Na and Zheng Linxiu said that they should go back, so Liu Siyu asked Yu Tao to send Huang Wei and Shen Qing to the hotel booked by Huang Haigen to rest, and became a free coachman and sent them home one by one.
Liu Yujia always wanted to ask about Liu Siyu's situation, but because others were present, she just listened quietly. It was not until Huang Haigen sent Su Na and Zheng Linxiu off the car that she seized the opportunity and stuffed a note into Liu Siyu's pocket. Then she got out of the car with Huang Haigen, who lived with her parents.
Before leaving, Liu Siyu took a pack of special supplies from his briefcase for China and handed it to Huang Haigen. Huang Haigen left his paging sign to Liu Siyu and agreed to contact him tomorrow.
