industrial overlord

Chapter 3
Lin Zhenhua and others stayed overnight at the police station.The next day, the car had been repaired. We bid farewell to Lu Zhiqiang and boarded the car to Tanzhou, the provincial capital of Xiangping Province.

As soon as she got in the car, He Lan insisted on sitting with Lin Zhenhua. No wonder, the rest of the people in the car were adults, and only Lin Zhenhua and her had the smallest age difference, and he was the only person she could talk to.Along the way, He Lan asked questions and chatted happily with Lin Zhenhua.After all, Lin Zhenhua came from a later life, and he could find a few jokes from the Internet, which was enough to make He Lan giggle.As a result, the more Lin Zhenhua teased He Lan, the more He Lan clinged to him, and in the end he almost regarded him as an all-powerful confidant brother.

"Brother Lin, can you recite poetry?"

"I will, will you?"

"Of course I will, I will... 25 poems."

"It's great, can you recite a song for me?"

"Okay, I'm done reciting, can you recite one for me too?"

"Okay, you come first."

"I recite a poem by Chairman Mao, with a valiant and heroic posture and a five-foot gun. The first light of dawn shines on the military field. The Chinese people are full of ambitions. They don't like red makeup and they like armed forces."

"Good recitation, good recitation." Passengers around applauded together. This little girl was pretty and had a nice voice. Everyone felt refreshed by reciting a poem.

"Okay, I'm done reciting, you can also recite one for me." He Lan said.

"Well, I'll recite one too." Lin Zhenhua thought for a while, chose a poem from that era and recited it:
"I'm your dilapidated old waterwheel by the river

Spinning tired songs for hundreds of years
I am the blackened miner's lamp on your forehead
As you grope in the tunnel of history

I am a shriveled ear of rice

roadbed in disrepair
barge on silt

deep

cut into your shoulders
— Motherland! "

"I think the poem you recite is so strange." He Lan stared at Lin Zhenhua with two big eyes, "I don't seem to understand it, and it seems to be very comfortable to listen to. What kind of poem are you reciting?"

"This is a misty poem, comrade, why haven't I heard of this one you memorized?" A young passenger sitting behind Lin Zhenhua asked. In that era, there were many literary youths and few literary masters. Literary youths know what poems are popular on the Internet.

Lin Zhenhua hesitated for a while, and finally did not dare to say that he wrote it. He said dully: "This is Shu Ting's new poem. It seems that it has not been officially published. I only remembered it after hearing it read."

"Great, you can recite it again, I didn't record it just now." The young passenger took out his notebook, took out a pen from his coat pocket, and started recording. This man had three pens in his coat pocket, No matter how you look at it, it looks like a pen repairer.

After Lin Zhenhua finished dealing with the literary youth, He Haifeng smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Lin, not bad, I think your education level is not low."

"Hehe, in the army... I also learned something."

"Not bad, not bad." He Haifeng said, "I heard that when you recited the poem, the rhythm and intonation are well controlled, which shows that you can fully understand the artistic conception of the poem. It is true that a veteran can do this. It's pretty good."

Lin Zhenhua scratched his head, but he didn't understand whether He Haifeng was praising or belittling himself. However, the cultural level of the veterans was generally not too high.He Haifeng is 20 years older than Lin Zhenhua, and he is actually Lin Zhenhua's elder. He is qualified to comment on Lin Zhenhua in this way.

Along the way, when the long-distance bus drove into Tanzhou, He Lan couldn't leave Lin Zhenhua anymore. She tilted her head and asked He Haifeng, "Father, shall we invite Brother Lin to play at home?"

Lin Zhenhua didn't wait for He Haifeng to speak, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I have something to do, and I have to go back to Jiangnan Province."

"No, I want you to play at home." He Lan said coquettishly.

He Haifeng patted He Lan's head, and said: "Lan Lan, don't make trouble, brother Lin has to go home, and we will invite brother Lin to play later." After finishing speaking, he looked at his watch and frowned at Lin Zhenhua Said: "Xiao Lin, I'm a little nervous about the train tickets now. I think there are no train tickets for today. If you want to leave, it probably won't be until tomorrow. Or, you really come to live at my house?"

That's what he said, but he was also not at ease in his heart.There were only two rooms in his house, and it was really difficult to stay with Lin Zhenhua. If it was impossible, he had to go to the guest house of his unit to help Lin Zhenhua find a bunk.

"No need, no need." Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "I'll go to the train station first to have a look. If it's really not possible, I can just find a guest house and stay overnight."

He Haifeng said: "Well, I'll accompany you to the train station."

Lin Zhenhua said: "No need, you have been in the car for two days, Lan Lan is also tired, it's time to go home and rest."

"I'm not tired!" He Lan said, as long as she could be with Brother Lin, she would not feel tired.

He Haifeng laughed: "Xiao Lin, it's okay. In fact, we are also on the way. Let me accompany you."

Tanzhou was indeed not that big back then. As the provincial capital, there were buses.He Haifeng took Lin Zhenhua to the train station by car, and asked at the window, the day's ticket was indeed gone, and Lin Zhenhua only bought a ticket for the next day.

"Hehe, you can only stay here for one night now." He Haifeng said, "Let's go, come to my house for a while, I will treat you to dinner, and then I will find you a guest house."

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "If it's convenient, you can help me find a guest house. I've never been to Tanzhou before, so just walk around Tanzhou by myself."

He Haifeng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, let me introduce you to a place, Hongxing Ceramics Factory, which is a subordinate unit of our Light Industry Department. If all their hospitality shops are empty, I don't think they will charge you money of."

Lin Zhenhua said: "That's fine, thank you, Lao He."

In that era, blatant corruption was rare, but using his power like He Haifeng to find a free bed for a friend in the hostel of his subordinate unit is not considered corruption.Although it only cost [-] cents to find a hostel to live in, back then, being able to save [-] cents was considered a great deal of face.

So, the three of them got on the bus again and came to Hongxing Ceramics Factory.Both He Haifeng and He Lan were natives of Tanzhou, and they had monthly passes in their pockets, so they didn't need to pay for the ride. Lin Zhenhua bought a ticket himself and spent [-] cents.If living in a hostel can really save [-] cents, then Lin Zhenhua can save [-] cents.In fact, Lin Zhenhua didn't think there was much significance in saving the seventy cents. People who came from later generations have no idea about this kind of small money. He just wanted to experience the way of thinking of people back then.

"Hey, where is the director, what brought you here?" As soon as the three arrived at the Red Star Ceramics Factory, the factory director You Jianmin greeted them enthusiastically, holding He Haifeng's hand to ask the cold and warm.

"Old You, I'm here to trouble you." He Haifeng said, pointing to Lin Zhenhua, and introduced: "This is Xiaolin, Lin Zhenhua, the hero of self-defense counterattack. This time I will take Lanlan home to visit relatives. On the way When encountering gangsters, Xiao Lin fights bravely against the gangsters, and is Lan Lan's savior."

"Welcome." You Jianmin hurried over to shake hands with Lin Zhenhua.

"Xiao Lin is going back to Jiangnan Province, bought a train ticket for tomorrow, and has no place to stay tonight..." He Haifeng dragged his voice.

"Stay in our guest house." You Jianmin responded very quickly, and took it over immediately, "I asked the waiter to open a private room for me. I am a person who worships heroes the most."

"Then I would like to thank Director You." Lin Zhenhua said with a smile. Of course he knew that You Jianmin's move was entirely for He Haifeng's face. Without He Haifeng, he would be a founding father, let alone a hero in self-defense. Old You didn't necessarily know who he was.

"Director He, since you're here, let's go to the cafeteria for a light meal." You Jianmin said along the way, "We still have some work to do, so I just took this opportunity to report to Director He."

He Haifeng also wanted this effect. When he was in Hongshan Commune, he didn't treat Lin Zhenhua well, and he always felt a little guilty.This time I brought Lin Zhenhua to Hongxing Ceramics Factory to offer flowers to the Buddha, and treat Lin Zhenhua to a good meal.He is the director of the Light Industry Department, and when he came down to the factory, there was no reason not to invite him to dinner.
