1949 I am from the future

()【17】Prom

Xiaoqiang walked to Yu Feng's door, knocked lightly on the door hesitantly,

"Who?"

"I, Cao Xiaoqiang."

"Come in"

Xiaoqiang pushed the door open and went in, and saw Yu Feng reading a book leaning against the square table under the living room window,

"Doctor Yu, when you read books, what book is so attractive?"

Yu Feng didn't get up, but still looked at the book and said, ""Clinical Medicine".

Xiaoqiang said shyly, "There is a ball in the secretariat tonight, are you interested in going with me?"

Yu Feng turned her head to stare at Xiaoqiang, and said slowly, "Are you inviting me?"

Xiaoqiang admitted with some embarrassment: "I am sincerely inviting you. I think it is boring for you to stay at home all the time. Why don't you go and relax together."

Yu Feng smiled slightly and said, "I'm not bored while reading, but I just feel flustered when I'm idle. I have nothing else to do except check your body every day. Do you know that I am very envious of those colleagues who save lives and heal the wounded in the hospital? They are busy from morning to night every day, although they say they are too tired, but I can see the proud light shining in their eyes." Yu Feng lowered his head, feeling a little disappointed.

"I'm sorry, I made you unable to realize your dream." Xiaoqiang felt very guilty.

Yu Feng burst into a smile, blinking her big eyes and said, "I'm lying to you. I'm so free, and others still envy me. I'll accompany you to the dance tonight, and I want to see what your secretariat's dance is like."

Seeing this beauty frowning and smiling, Xiaoqiang couldn't help feeling a little silly, and said with a smirk: "Then it's settled, we'll go together after dinner in the evening." After saying that, he turned around and left.

At this time, Dongzi came back with four thermos bottles. After putting away one for each person in the four rooms, Xiaoqiang drove Dongzi to Xidan again, where he bought a large eight-treasure lacquerware food box in Rongfusheng for 32 yuan. A rectangular black lacquered wooden box with a fan-shaped pattern pinched out with gold wire, with pictures of ladies drawn on the fan. When the lid is opened, the inside is divided into eight areas, which are most suitable for storing snacks.In the old days, it was a utensil in the home of a prince or a rich man, and put snacks on it for people to take.This guy is almost no longer seen in future generations, but only in Panjiayuan, and they are all sold as antiques.

After buying and returning home, Xiaoqiang unpacked all the remaining snacks in his house and put them in. Oreo biscuits, Wangwang snow cakes, Dove chocolates, Haojia potato chips, just filled the big eight treasures food box.Give the package to Dongzi and tell him to take it out and burn it.Xiaoqiang excitedly ran to Yufeng to offer treasures.

Knocking on the door, Xiaoqiang put the food box on the table in the living room of Yufeng's outhouse, and said: "I was transferred from the intelligence department to the secretariat today. Before I left, the intelligence department gave me some snacks. I don't like to eat them. You can take them." Go eat." After speaking, Xiaoqiang turned his head and walked out without waiting for Yu Feng to agree.

Seeing Xiaoqiang leaving, Yu Feng picked up the food box and wanted to chase him out, but hesitated for a while, put down the food box, and opened the lid.Looking at all the novel dim sums inside, Yu Feng had never eaten them before, and suddenly felt a little reluctant to take them back and return them. "Didn't he just say that he doesn't like to eat snacks." Yu Feng comforted herself, "I'll be a full-time doctor for him, and it's not too much to eat him." While thinking contradictoryly, he couldn't help picking up a piece and looking at it. I bit down on the very tempting snow cake.

zhong nan hai Ju Ren Tang, located on the west bank of Zhong Hai in Xiyuan, is a two-storey western-style building, the largest building in the old buildings in zhong nan hai, with the baroque style of the entire building and external auxiliary decoration and surrounding buildings There are obvious style differences among the communities, and the interior is furnished with European grace.Empress Dowager Cixi, Yuan Shikai, Feng Guozhang and Li Zongren all used to be the owners here.

The large conference room in the building has been simply arranged into a ballroom. There are sofas all around the door and wall. There is a long table in the corner with a few plates of baked soda biscuits made in the kitchen and some special small wine glasses. , a few bottles of white wine next to it have been opened, and the aroma of the wine can be smelled all over the meeting room.The large vertical phonograph by the wall played Soviet dance music, and under the unique textured sound of vinyl records, the atmosphere of the dance was very lively.

When Xiaoqiang drove there with Yu Feng after dinner, it was already 07:30 in the evening, and the dance had already started.Xiaoqiang's eyes were darkened, he didn't know anyone, but his gossip heart was burning hot, and he wanted to see the legendary zhong nan hai dance.At this time, a handsome man in his early forties came to Xiaoqiang. He was wearing a gray khaki tunic suit, with two thick eyebrows lying straight on a pair of bright double eyelid pupils.He walked up to Xiaoqiang and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, I am Yang* Shangkun. Before I came today, the chairman specially asked me to study hard with you."

The sweat on Xiaoqiang's forehead, Secretary Yang! Deputy Secretary-General of ***zhong yang, director of the office of ***zhong yang, my immediate boss, learn from myself?Which one is this going to play?Quickly shook hands with him and said: "Don't dare, I am grateful for the wrong love from the chief, I am ashamed to be wrong. I am young, I don't understand too many things, and I am not familiar with many situations. In the future, I need the chief to criticize and give pointers to help myself. progress."

Secretary Yang (Yang Shangkun is also the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Government) saw Xiaoqiang's modest and polite speech, and smiled happily: "I believe in the vision of the chairman. The person the chairman likes must not be wrong! We learn from each other, Let’s help each other. In the future, if you have any difficulties, you can bring them up. My secretary is here to serve you.”

Then he turned his head and looked at Yu Feng: "This girl is amazing, she is so beautiful, she is the dance partner brought by you, Xiao Cao."

Xiaoqiang hurriedly introduced, "This is Dr. Yu Fengyu." He didn't dare to say that this was his personal doctor. God knows if Secretary Yang has a private doctor, what level and age is he, if he puts the fact that he has a private doctor on mouth, so as not to provoke criticism.

"Hi, chief." Yu Feng was just a doctor in a military hospital before, and he didn't know what Yang * Shangkun's job was or how to call him, so he followed Xiaoqiang and called him chief.

"Hello." As Secretary Yang shook hands with Yu Feng, he looked at Xiaoqiang meaningfully and said, "Xiao Cao has vision. Finding a girlfriend with both talents and looks is great. Hello doctor, be a people who save lives and heal the wounded." Doctor is the noblest profession."

So under the introduction of Secretary Yang, Xiaoqiang got acquainted with many colleagues one by one.I learned that most of the colleagues present today have never been married, because the workload of the secretariat is too heavy, and many comrades often have no time to date, so the zhong nan hai ball has another mission, which is to play the role of a matchmaker, so that these people can be married all day long. The secretaries who buried their heads in the state secret documents on the copybooks had the opportunity to meet the opposite sex, fall in love and even get married.Those who are married and bring their wives are old comrades who come to warm up the scene.

The women invited to the ball today are of course all single. Among them are actresses from the art troupe, staff from the Central Government, and their own female companions. The lineup is huge, making the whole ball quite colorful. The scene of many men and few.Many girls are sneaking eyes at these weak secretaries. Although these secretaries are all bookish, at least half of them wear high myopia glasses and look weak, but for these girls, they are very popular.

In today's terms, these juniors are fighters among senior civil servants.In this day and age, if one could marry a secretary of the central yang secretariat, one would be able to become a family member of a government cadre and live in the compound of the central government.Accept the envious eyes of friends around you.

Although people in this era are relatively simple, and some girls don't think so much, most of the single women who received the invitation are full of joy, dressed carefully, and brought three or two fashionable female companions to come together.Dressing at this time is also simple. Although it is carefully dressed, it is nothing more than tying a bow or wearing a beautiful headband, pouring some hair oil, combing and brushing the hair, and putting on the latest clean clothes. Old clothes, those who can wear brand new clothes to the scene are proud.

Some girls have been to this kind of ball more than once, and they are considered experienced. When they saw Secretary Yang personally introducing Xiaoqiang, they couldn't help but get a little jealous. During private conversations, some people asked each other about Xiaoqiang's identity.

Xiaoqiang's appearance is not outstanding, with a slightly fat round face, eyebrows are still three points heroic, 1.7 meters three is not outstanding.But the calm and calm demeanor in his gestures is also appreciated by everyone.

This is not because Xiaoqiang is pretending to be calm, but because he has met several times even at the level of the chairman and prime minister. After several conversations, he is really facing the biggest big scene and the biggest big shot in the world.He has learned a lot from these great men, and he dare not say that he imitated the leaders, but in short, his inferiority complex has been greatly reduced, and he is quite calm in watching the flowers bloom and fade before the court.

In the sound of music, the girls who were invited happily danced with their partners, while those who were not invited sat on the sofa and chatted in twos and threes.

Yu Feng met an acquaintance, a female classmate of the medical university, and the two chatted eagerly about the current situation.Xiaoqiang saw that they were chatting passionately, so he had to stand far away, staring at the dance floor in a daze.

"Hello, can I ask you to dance?" At this moment, a soft, water-like female voice sounded in Xiaoqiang's ear.
