Chapter 1580 [Meet Classmates at the Airport]
After three days.
at noon.
Jiangnan Province, the provincial capital.
A taxi stopped outside the airport. Dong Xuebin paid and got off the taxi. He didn't take any big luggage. He walked in with a small bag and looked at his watch. It was a pity that Dong Xuebin took a few glances at the beautiful scenery outside the airport. He had no time to visit the provincial capital. Let's go to Macau first, and then take a walk around the provincial capital when he has time.
in the hall.
Dong Xuebin went to go through the formalities.
Ring ring ring, wife's number jumped out on the phone.
Dong Xuebin touched his pocket and took a look, then said, "Have you all arrived?"
"Just got off the plane and arrived." Xie Huilan smiled and said, "How about you?"
"I haven't boarded the plane yet. I just got the boarding pass, but you are very fast." Dong Xuebin said.
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "Can the plane in the morning be too fast, then you can take your time, let's go to the hotel first."
Dong Xuebin said, "Send me the address when you arrive, and I'll find you when you arrive."
"Do you need Sister Xie to arrange a car to pick you up? I'll say hello to the hotel when I get there?" Xie Huilan said.
Dong Xuebin shook his head, "Come on, you are going to study and study, bringing your family members is a benefit, let's not make specializations, it's not good for people to see, this time it is Vice-Province-Chairman Jia who is leading the tour. ? Then you have to pay more attention, this time it's mainly for fun, don't make unnecessary troubles."
"Oh, it was him."
"Huh? What originally?"
"The letter I just got this morning, Jia Sheng-chang is unwell and won't come."
"Yo, is he really uncomfortable or fake?"
"Then I don't know, I shouldn't be leading the team this time."
"That's not good, um, you didn't have any activities in the afternoon, did you?"
"I don't know, some are also inspecting or eating. Many officials have come to receive them, and they must be entertained.
But it has nothing to do with the family. "
"Let's do our zì yóu activities?"
"Almost, let's do this first, the car is waiting for me."
"Okay, let's go, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xuebin went to the security check. He didn't have a good impression of Deputy Governor Jia. It would be better if he didn't come.
Today is my son who is going to Macau for inspection. The small airport in Xiaxing City has no flight to Macau. I can only come to the provincial capital to take a flight. It is said to be an inspection, but it is actually a tour. It is a kind of annual event. Welfare, each city in Jiangnan Province has high-level participation, but the specific quota is still relatively large, at least not all the first and second leaders can go away, otherwise if there is something in the city, it will be troublesome, and the secretary and mayor can only go to one or none of them. , the deputy mayor or department leader at the bottom, each city also has about a few places, which are arranged year by year. For example, Xiaxing City went to the secretary of the municipal party committee, two deputy mayors, and the head of the following three departments, and the number of leadership places Although there are restrictions, it seems that there may not be many admissions, but each leader brings one or two family members, and the team is relatively bloated. This is why Huilan and the others have no tickets for that morning flight. It is said that there are more than ten people in the province. The family members who reported later did not book tickets, and could only board the next batch of flights. Dong Xuebin did the same. He exposed the identity of the Disciplinary Committee in Xiaxing City. The admission is done by myself, but the air ticket I paid for myself. I don’t plan to reimburse it, so I don’t want to talk about it. Dong Xuebin’s unit can deter a lot of admissions, but on the other hand, he himself has to pay special attention to the party style. party discipline.
After half an hour.
Waiting lounge area.
Dong Xuebin found an open space to sit, then crossed Erlang's legs and watched the plane rising and falling outside the glass, plugged in his headphones and listened to the song.
One minute...three minutes...five minutes...the gate hasn't opened yet.
Dong Xuebin was a little impatient, tapping his hands on his legs.
Suddenly, there seemed to be someone coming from the opposite side, "Hey! Isn't this Xuebin!"
Dong Xuebin's music was not very loud, but when he heard it, he was slightly stunned and looked up. He didn't expect to know him here. After seeing it, he was also stunned, "Hou Wen!"
"Haha! It's really you!"
"Hey, why are you?"
"I'm still wondering why you're here!"
"You can change, and I won't recognize you unless you call me!"
"You don't know how to speak. You, haha, I haven't seen you for a few years. I'm a little fatter, a little bit fatter, but it's not that I can't recognize it!"
"Hehe, you are a few dozen pounds, right?"
"You haven't changed, you're still so thin!"
A young man walked up, about the same age as Dong Xuebin, with a round face, more pimples on his face, and a little bloated, but not that fat, just normal, but he was the same as Dong Xuebin when he was in college. With a thin body, Dong Xuebin would not dare to recognize it. Hou Wen, this is Dong Xuebin's college classmate, not only that, but also Dong Xuebin's roommate, a buddy who has lived in a dormitory for four years. Dong Xuebin has been in school for all these years. Because he is relatively low-key and does not like to communicate with others, he has no particularly good friends, but when it comes to good friends, Hou Wen must be one of them. Bi Jing lived together for four years. Ah, those youthful years will always be unforgettable, so Dong Xuebin and Hou Wen met here by chance, and both of them seemed very excited.
Dong Xuebin got up to meet him, "What a coincidence."
Hou Wen lightly hammered his chest, "Good boy, you haven't heard from you for three years, and you don't know how to contact me after graduating from college!"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "Why didn't I contact you, you went to the south after graduating from college, you can't see each other, and calling you is a long distance, where do I have so much phone bills, but you, you don't know how to give it to me? I called you, and then the phone number was changed, and I couldn't find you."
Hou Wendao: "Why didn't I call you, I called your house several times, but I didn't get in."
Dong Xuebin snorted, "Did you fight for the past two years? I haven't lived in Heping Street for the past two years."
"Anyway, you didn't contact me. I'll tell you that I can remember it. Let's change our mobile numbers quickly. You must invite your buddies to dinner then!" Hou Wen said confidently.
Dong Xuebin was delighted, "You didn't tell me when you changed your phone number, so I'm still inviting you? Nonsense, it's not over if you don't invite me to a donkey fire, no, it's two meals, you promised to invite us before you graduate. There are a few of them, and what they said is called a flurry of flowers. What happened? You went to the south as soon as you graduated! I didn’t see you! You are so embarrassed to ask me to invite me, I don’t know anything about that. saying you!"
Donkey meat is cooked on fire. This is what they often eat in college. Every time there is a celebration, everyone in the dormitory will go to eat donkey meat. Now it seems that it may not be much money, it is the most common thing, but At that time, everyone was poor students with no money in their pockets. They could eat donkey meat, and the brothers were like eating a Shangri-La Hotel, and they were so happy. Very happy.
Hou Wen coughed and said, "Cough, there is something urgent or urgent. My dad has arranged a job for me, and the report time has also been set, so I can't be late."
"It's a loss?"
"Well, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong."
"What is considered o, huh, it's just that you're wrong."
"Okay, I'll treat you, don't be shy, I really miss our classmates."
"Then you didn't come during the school celebration?"
"School celebration? What school celebration? I don't even know about it."
"It's the anniversary of the United Nations University. I only found out when I met Teacher Jiang. I also saw Ruhua, Zhao Meng and Le Haidong."
"How are they?"
"It's alright, those who get married get married, those who enter the system enter the system, and some who are with state-owned enterprises. Anyway, they all get along well. Come on, sit down and let's talk slowly."
"Wait a minute, my mother is still behind, have you seen it?"
At this time, Dong Xuebin noticed a middle-aged woman walking not far away. Her temperament was not good. Hou Wen also looked very similar to his mother. You could tell at a glance that Dong Xuebin had seen Hou's mother, but she was still very old. When I first entered the school, I saw Hou's mother sending Hou Wen in in the dormitory, but I didn't have a clear impression. After so many years, I was a little unfamiliar after seeing it, but I immediately welcomed him.
"Auntie." Dong Xuebin said.
Mother Hou looked at him out of the corner of her eye, "This is?"
Hou Wen put his arms around Dong Xuebin's shoulder, "My college classmate, Dong Xuebin."
"Oh." Mother Hou nodded to Dong Xuebin lukewarmly, and then sat down in the rest area.
In Dong Xuebin's memory, Hou's mother seems to be such an entry, and it is not surprising. When he was in college, he had always heard that Hou Wen's father was a thousand ministers and was an official in the south, but Hou Wen did not say any specific officials. , He is usually very low-key, and he is very heartless. He is very enthusiastic and familiar with everyone. From the outside, it is impossible to tell that he is a second-generation official. It is estimated that he is only a few people in their dormitory. Know something.
Hou Wen took a look and took Dong Xuebin to sit opposite, "Which flight are you waiting for?"
"Just this trip." Dong Xuebin pointed.
"Yo, are you going to Macau?" Hou Wen asked in surprise.
Dong Xuebin blinked: "You are here too? Hey, what a coincidence."
Hou Wen was very happy, "Then we talked about it this time. It's been more than an hour on the plane. I'll take a look at your seat number." When I took a look, it wasn't next to each other, and it was a lot worse. Hou Wen suddenly said: "I'm about to board the plane, it's okay, I'll change my seat in a while, we must have a good chat, oah, there's too much to say, ah, you don't know how much I see you I'm so happy, I'm thinking about the time when we were in college, but if you change your phone, you can't get through if you can't get through!"
Dong Xuebin warmed his heart, "Me too, I haven't seen you for three years."
"Yes, it's been three years." Hou Wen sighed a little: "I didn't know how good the school was until I got to work, and only then did I know how good our brothers were."
Dong Xuebin said: "The friends I make now always feel a little empty, not as real as we are."
Hou Wen slapped his thigh, "You're so damn right!"
