Rebirth of the Official Business Route

On New Year's Eve the next day, Zhang Ke and his mother Liang Gezhen rushed back to their hometown in Dongshe with their uncle Zhang Zhifei's family to celebrate the Spring Festival.

This was what Zhang Zhixing insisted on. Zhang Zhixing stayed on duty in the city and didn't keep anyone at home, so he didn't have to worry about others coming to give gifts.

Gu Jianping also led Tang Jing back to Xintai's hometown. It seems that Tang Xueqian really moved this time. At this time, there was no car available in the city, so Zhang Ke asked Zhou Wenbin to drive Gu Jianping and Tang Jing back to Xintai, so that they would not suffer on the road.

Although my uncle Zhang Zhifei plans to make his home in the city, he still plans to go back to Dongshe for the Spring Festival. Anyway, he has a car, so it is very convenient to go back and forth. Novel chapters are updated the fastest

The ancestral house under the name of Zhang Zhixing had been renovated by Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Zhifei's cousins ​​as early as the beginning of winter, adding sanitation facilities, and the interior decoration was no worse than that of houses in the city.

Uncle Zhang Zhiwei was very surprised that Zhang Zhixing's family of three returned to Dongshe for the Spring Festival. How can an official hide from the gift-giver these days?

Zhang Ke was very bored in his hometown in Dongshe, so he talked to Tang Jing on the phone when he had nothing to do, but it was very troublesome to talk to Xu Si on the phone.

Zhang Zhixing was on night shift in the city on New Year's Eve. He was on duty in the city on the first day of junior high school. He arrived at Dongshe at night and drove back to the city the next day. When the provincial leader pays New Year's greetings, he has to arrange all the gifts.

Zhang Ke followed him back to the city in the second year of junior high school, and also went to the provincial capital to pay New Year greetings to Xu Xueping in the third year of junior high school. Considering the relationship with Zhou Fuming, secretary of the municipal party committee, it is inconvenient for Zhang Ke to take a ride in the city.

Zhang Zhixing drove Zhang Ke to the street, thinking that he must be entangled in the city today, and asked Zhang Ke, Are you coming to the city for dinner at noon?

Without you, I wouldn't starve to death, Zhang Ke patted the drab short trench coat. He smiled and said, Are you going back to Dongshe at night?

I might stay in the city overnight, and you can stay at the city guest house at night.

It depends on the situation. The road will be different tomorrow. I will ask Kumho Company to send me a car to take me to the provincial capital.

Zhang Zhixing smiled, and drove away without caring where his son would go wandering at night.

It only takes an hour to drive from Dongshe to the city. I got up early, and it is only seven o'clock in the morning, and the fog on the streets has not dissipated. People in the city get up late during the Spring Festival, and the streets are deserted. There were no people, and debris from firecrackers was everywhere.

Ninety-four. The control over the setting off of fireworks is not so strict.

For Zhang Ke,

There is still an inexplicable sense of strangeness to this city, maybe he has gotten used to the city fourteen years later. The newspaper kiosks on the street were closed, I didn’t have a magnetic card on me, and I couldn’t make a public phone call, so I walked along the street towards Sha Tin.

Zhang Ke was not in a hurry to find Xu Si, and was wandering around Shatian. A large number of buildings in this area were built in the early years of the Republic of China. There are older buildings in between. Standing and watching from a distance. When you get closer, you can see the courtyard walls, roofs, porches, tile eaves, pillars and window reliefs of completely different colors and shapes. It gives people the feeling that it is really dazzling and beautiful, just like people have thousands of faces. These old houses also have one face, no repetition and similarity.

Aside from the beauty of those meticulously crafted details, the overall impression of Shatian, which is next to Qianmen Business District, is outdated and messy. There are nearly 7,000 to 8,000 households squeezed into an area of ​​less than two square kilometers. There are nearly 100,000 people living in the place.

The fog gradually dissipated, the light blue sky was far away, the breeze was cold, and the trees with sparse slanted branches and sick leaves were falling in the alley.

If it can be tidied up, it is quite a wrong place to live.

Although the city's thinking on urban construction planning has gradually changed, there are still opposing opinions on whether to demolish or repair the dilapidated building complex in Shatian.

The key lies in the word money.

Zhang Ke made a preliminary estimate by himself. To carry out protective repairs and renovations of all the old buildings in Shatian area, it will need to spend more than three billion yuan, which is the fiscal revenue of Haizhou City for three years. If this budget is really taken out, I'm afraid Tang Xueqian will be the first to give up protective repairs.

All demolition and reconstruction, commercial real estate development, the city will be able to use commercial capital to complete the transformation of the old city of Shatian, this is a plan that saves trouble and effort and achieves political achievements.

In the early 1990s, many cities in China abandoned the protection of ancient buildings in the renovation of old cities, and another very important factor was the issue of municipal investment. In addition to municipal investment, it is difficult to introduce commercial capital for the protection of ancient buildings. In the early 1990s, urban construction was short of money everywhere, and the tourism industry had not yet been developed vigorously. Group protection is impossible.

Of course, the problem can be solved if it is delayed until ten years later. In addition to the tourism industry development, the awareness of ancient city protection, and the viewpoint of urban marketing gaining the upper hand, sufficient fiscal revenue seems to be the most critical factor.

But which mayor would tolerate Shatian sticking on the territory of Haizhou like a piece of dog skin plaster for ten years? What's more, this place is next to the front door where every inch of land is expensive.

Tang Xueqian couldn't be so high-spirited.

Shugang River is the first step, and Shatian is the second step. If the city cannot afford money, it can only be handed over to developers to dismantle and develop commercial real estate. It may symbolically retain the Qingyang Taoist Temple, the thousand-year-old camphor courtyard, and Danjing. Taiwan and other buildings, but it has no meaning.

Zhang Ke wandered to Danjing Lane and met Xu Hongbo. Xu Hongbo was wearing knickerbockers and a football shirt in the cold. The clothes were so thin that Zhang Ke felt shivering.

Mr. Xu getting up early to exercise? Zhang Ke greeted.

Why are you wandering around Shatian so early? Xu Hongbo was sweating while running, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Ke in Shatian early in the morning on the second day of the new year.

I went back to Dongshe for the New Year. I rushed to the city with my dad early in the morning, and I was going to visit Mr. Xu's house to celebrate the New Year.

You don't seem like someone who can think of me so early. Besides, my house is over there. How do you go this way? Xu Hongbo exposed Zhang Ke's lies.

Zhang Ke smiled helplessly, and said: When I arrived in Shatian, I just looked at these old buildings. I was so fascinated by them. If I hadn't met Teacher Xu, I could still go on.

Hehe, Xu Hongbo smiled, but accepted Zhang Ke's explanation. Now teenagers will only think that Shatian is old and messy. No one will be fascinated, probably only those who are obsessed with architecture, art, and photography will perceive the beauty under the old and messy, I'll go back and change my clothes first, you go to the chess academy and wait for me, I invite you Drink tea. A team made a dedication.

Zhang Tuo and Xu Hongbo had something to say, so he nodded and agreed, without mentioning whether or not to pay New Year's greetings, he continued to walk along Danjing Lane, along a slanted alley. Go to the front of Xu Si's house.

Hearing that there was nothing in the yard, I wondered if I didn't get up. It was inconvenient to find Xu Si, turned around and walked towards the Taoist temple. There are many dog ​​owners in this alley. Zhang Ke walked over, and the barks of dogs staggered, making Zhang Ke tremble with fear, and regretted not going around from outside.

Walking to the entrance of the alley, I went to Chen Feirong's house. The Taoist temple was behind Chen Feirong's house. I saw Xu Si looking out from the gate of Chen Feirong's house.

It's really you? Xu Si smiled in surprise. It's only the second day of junior high school today. Didn't you go back to Dongshe's hometown for the Spring Festival?

How did anyone guess it was my voice? Zhang Ke asked strangely, I didn't come humming a song. Who would have guessed that I was coming?

Xu Si laughed and said, Hearing the dogs barking so much in the alley, Xu Wei must have come here from a scumbag who doesn't often do good things. Come out and see, it's really you.

I still do some good things occasionally, and you just slander me like this? Zhang Ke smiled and said, I took my dad's car back to the city in the morning, and Teacher Xu told me to come here and wait for him. What did you come to Chen Feirong's house earlier?

Chen Feirong's family will have a treat next year, so we will prepare it today. Let's come and help.

Zhang Ke looked in with his probe, and Xu Wei and Chen Feirong were looking this way with badminton rackets.

Xu Wei laughed and said, I'm telling you, the dogs in the alley are only fierce to the eggs.

Xu Si's mother and Liu Fen were sitting in the corridor, and she stood up at this moment, not to let Xu Wei talk nonsense, and invited Zhang Luo to go.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: Uncle Chen invited me to come over for dinner tomorrow. I'm rushing to the provincial capital tomorrow, so I will come here early today to pay New Year's greetings. He cupped his hands and asked Xu Si, Where are Uncle Xu and Uncle Chen?

I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for tomorrow.

It's only the second day of junior high school today, is there anyone in the vegetable market? Zhang Ke asked strangely.

Everyone is like your young master. The factory starts early and starts work tomorrow. Xu Wei said sarcastically, Paper mills don't have annual holidays, and my mother went to work on the first day of the new year.

Unless there is maintenance or mechanical failure at the paper mill, the production line will not stop due to annual leave. Xu Si's mother can take a few days off in the warehouse, which is relatively easy.

Zhang Ke rubbed his head, it was unwise to argue with Xu Wei, and asked Chen Feirong with a smile: Are you playing badminton?

Chen Feirong didn't speak, Xu Wei gave him a sideways glance, and passed the badminton to him: Is this still a tennis racket? I'm so tired and sweaty, you can play it.

Xu Wei stuffed the racket into Zhang Ke's hand, and Chen Feirong also stuffed the racket into Xu Si's hand: I'm tired too, sister Xu Si, come and play.

Chen Feirong was still wearing a coat, her pretty face was fair, and there was no sweat on her forehead, she knew she had just finished. Xu Si's face was flushed, and the sweat on his forehead hadn't dried yet. Seeing that Chen Feirong didn't want to play with him, and didn't want Xu Si to be tired, Zhang Ke shrugged, went to the corridor and put the racket on the small table, and said, I like to hit hard. When I do hard, the ball will fly to the roof. I'm here. Turning back to Xu Si, he said, I'll go to the Chess Academy and wait for Teacher Xu.

When Zhang Ke walked out of the courtyard of Chen Feirong's house, Xu Si caught up with him from behind and asked him, Do you think your relationship is getting better?

When will it be better? Zhang Ke asked strangely, and suddenly remembered the gifts brought back from Hong Kong years ago. Xu Si had seen them one by one. Rong's head, You mean the card on her head?

Yeah, what do you think I said?

I want to give her a gift, she will probably throw me in the face, dare I? Zhang Tian said with a smile, Tang Jing asked her to occupy the place and set up a street stall, you know... Tang Jing gave her Yes, I am so heartbroken that I brought back such a gift, which belongs to this folder.”

Xu Si pursed her lips and laughed, her beautiful eyes teasing Zhang Ke: Your little girlfriend is quite generous, she doesn't know that you have crooked thoughts about Concubine Rong?

Zhang Ke looked sideways at Xu Siyan's beautiful eyes, slightly curved his mouth, showing a frivolous and warm smile, and said, I'm thinking about you.

Seeing the faint smile on Zhang Ke's face, the deep black eyes seemed to tell himself that this was not a joke, Xu Si leaned back slightly, although Zhang Ke didn't move. But he felt that his breathing was getting closer, and the warm nose and nose almost rushed to his face, and he felt his face was a little hot, so he pursed his lips and scolded him: What nonsense! But her eyes became shy like a girl's. , stretched out his hand and pushed him to go out, You go to Teacher Xu, I won't go with you, so as not to listen to your crazy words.

Watching Xu Si hide in the yard, Zhang Ke had a warm smile on his lips. The Spring Festival in the city is somewhat boring, most of them are only children. There is not much communication with the neighbors, and some students from the chess academy gathered in the Taoist temple early in the morning. Because Haizhou has a custom of not being able to stop gambling during the Spring Festival, two tables were gathered to play cards. There are also a few teenagers playing chess.

When Zhang Ke came to the Taoist temple, he either chatted or played chess with Xu Hongbo directly. The students in the chess academy who knew Zhang Ke all respected him. When they saw him coming in, several people stood up and let him participate in the game.

A person who concentrates on learning Go. Are good at mental arithmetic. Zhang Ke was not sure that he could win the money from the students of the Chess Academy, so he smiled and said that he would wait for Teacher Xu to come over. The chess academy students heard that Xu Hongbo would come over later. Still a little scared, I immediately cleaned up the game and made an appointment to go to a certain house to fight again. It was gone in a blink of an eye.

Xu Hongbo was still surprised when he came over, and he stepped into the yard and said, Why are these filial pieties here to play in the chess academy today, and why did they leave so early?

Zhang Ke smiled without answering, and asked Xu Hongbo: Come here, what do you want to say, Teacher Xu?

Xu Hongbo took the cooking utensils to boil water, but said in his mouth: It would be great if the girl from Xu Haishan could come and help us make tea.

Zhang Tianran smiled, Xu Hongbo has good taste, let Xu Si and Xu Wei come to serve and drink tea, it does not catch up with the life of princes in the old days, it is a good idea to think about it, I don't believe that Xu Hongbo can hide any good tea in the chess academy, and I don't let that All the teenagers who learn chess steal everything? Seeing Xu Hongbo put out a whole set of tea sets, I can't appreciate the purple sand utensils. This kind of thing is everywhere in the streets of Yixing, and it may have some gold content in the early 1990s.

Since Xu Hongbo refrained from speaking, Zhang Ke only came over to drink tea. As soon as the sun comes out, there is no chill in the yard. Zhang Ke sat in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, listening to Xu Hongbo talk about the knowledge of drinking tea all morning, Zhang Ke also poured tea. When noon was approaching, Chen Shan came over and invited him and Xu Hongbo to have a drink. Xu Hongbo wanted to go, but Zhang Ke hurriedly said, I've had enough tea. I'll learn a game of chess with Teacher Xu at noon. It's okay to skip a meal.

Chen Shan heard from Xu Si that Zhang Ke had to rush to the provincial capital tomorrow, and he couldn’t invite him to dinner tomorrow. Today, while others were in Shatian, he had to invite him to dinner no matter what, not to mention the solatium from years ago. Later, Liu Fen had to go to work in the paper mill and asked him to help her to speak again. Hearing Zhang Ke's clean refusal to go to his house for dinner, Chen Shan stood there with an embarrassing expression, not knowing what to say.

Chess can control your hunger? Young people are kind-hearted. I'm not hungry, so I'll play a game of chess with you. Xu Hongbo got up and went to fetch the chess pieces.

Then it won't be too late to start the banquet after you play chess well. Chen Shan walked out of the Taoist temple with a smile, and there was no particular impatience on his face.

Chen Shan's family is treating guests tomorrow, and today's banquet is just for you. Xu Hongbo brought chess and squinted at Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke said calmly: You poured me tea all morning, don't say anything, otherwise I will leave early, and I have no plan to stay for lunch. If you don't want to play chess, I will go back first.

Xu Hongbo hurriedly put down the chessboard, not talking about business, but he couldn't let Zhang Ke go. Zhang Ke had just settled for three consecutive stars. Xu Si pushed the courtyard door and came in, snatched the throwing chess box from Zhang Ke's hand, and said, Everyone is waiting for you to eat. What else are you playing? Put it here first, and wait until you have eaten. Let's talk about lunch.

Drinking tea makes you hungry, drink tea all morning, and urinate, your stomach will be completely empty. Xu Hongbo smiled and said: I can't play chess, so I have to go drink. After saying that, he got up first and walked out.

Holding Xu Si's hand, Zhang Tuo was a little anxious and asked her, What's wrong?

Concubine Rong told her mother to cry, and you are still hiding here playing chess, do you think you have a conscience? Xu Si gave him a reproachful look, took something out of his pocket, and spread it in front of Zhang Ke. The cat-shaped clip that Jing gave Chen Feirong was smashed in half, Zhou Fu came over and said that this clip is very expensive, and it is worth several thousand. I beat it with boiling hands. Feirong said it was a gift from a female classmate, and others She didn't believe it, she threw it on the ground in a hurry, and broke into two pieces. Aunt Fen asked her to invite you to dinner, but she refused. Uncle Chen came to invite you, but you are putting on airs. As soon as Uncle Chen went back, Aunt Fen said After saying a few words to her, she began to cry...

Zhang Ke picked up the clip and looked at it, smacked his lips, and said, The inlay technology is quite good, the clip was broken into two pieces, and none of the broken diamonds fell off. How did Zhou Fu come here?

Why don't you ask him to come and accompany you, you are a big shot now... Seeing Zhang Ke's evil smile, Xu Si said angrily, You, how do you say hello, you are still smiling stand up?

Zhang Ke held Xu Si's palm with his backhand, and clasped her palm with his fingers, feeling very warm. He squinted at her and said with a smile, What did I do wrong?

Aren't you ignorant of a girl's mind? Xu Si glanced at him, saw his innocent eyes, bit his lower lip and said bitterly, You still pretend you don't understand!

Zhang Ke shook his head and sighed, and said, Sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls are just too sensitive, so it's better for Miss Xu Si. Return this clip to me, and don't let others think that I really gave it to her?

Say someone else is young, how old are you? Sometimes he would like to let him hold his hand, but when he heard him mention his age, Xu Si withdrew his hand, feeling a bit sad, seeing that Zhang Ke was about to fall into two again I put it in my hand and asked him, You leave it to me, what should I do?

The clip was given by Tang Jing, and Xu Si couldn't explain it to Chen Feirong. Even if she explained it, her parents would not believe it. Liu Fen seemed more willing to believe that it was given by Zhang Ke. Seeing that Chen Feirong broke the clip into two pieces, she became annoyed and started training Chen Feirong.

Zhang Ke thought for a while and said, I'd better find another place to have lunch. This matter can't be explained clearly, and it's uncomfortable for everyone to stare at.

You want to pat your ass and leave, what about Chen Feirong? Xu Si pushed him, Be careful that Xu Wei keeps looking for your thorns.

Zhang Ke smiled helplessly, got up and pushed Xu Si's shoulder and walked forward: Okay, okay, why don't you just eat, and kill me for wine?

The banquet was placed in the wine room on the east side. Zhang Ke and Xu Si entered the yard and saw Zhou Fu squatting under the eaves smoking a cigarette. He said with a smile, It's Chinese New Year. Director Zhou came here to have a meal. Can't make it to tomorrow?

Zhou Fu couldn't explain that it was Chen Shan who called him on purpose, so he smiled embarrassingly and said, I'm going to be on duty in the factory tomorrow, so I can't miss this drink.

Chen Shan called everyone to go to the wine house, and Chen Feirong went out from the inner wing room, the tears on her cheeks were not dry, she was pitiful, she stared at Zhang Ke and asked, You told my parents, where did you send it?

Zhang Ke didn't expect Chen Feirong to be wronged like this, and she had the backbone to not bear a little shame, but he couldn't bear it, so he took a couple of clips from Xu Si and asked Chen Feirong, What do you mean? Seeing everyone looking here, I smiled, My cousin bought street stalls from the night market. I don't know how much they are worth. I took a few books from yours, and my cousin set up a stall to play again. See You feel a little sorry for such trouble, if you don’t marry me, you’ll pull it down.” Turning around, he threw the two clips over the courtyard wall, only to hear two soft sounds of water, and the clip full of broken diamonds was thrown to Shugang in the east. In the river, Zhang Ke clapped his hands, How much is it really worth? Okay, let's eat, I'm hungry.
