Rebirth of the Flying Era

Chapter 1403 Long-lost old friend

Since it was afternoon, there were not many people in the bathhouse. Du Fei soaked himself in the big pool, got up and called the bather.

After a while, a muscular young man in his twenties came in and said with a smile: "Comrade, please give me a bath~"

Du Fei sat on the edge of the big pool and asked, "Isn't Lao Wang here today?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately responded: "You said Master Wang~ He quit working long ago and went home to raise his grandson."

Du Fei suddenly realized that he had often come to Master Wang to take a bath in the past, but he stopped doing it.

But he didn’t have any obsession. He waited for the young man to wash the leather bed with a basin of hot water and lay down on it.

The young man had strong hands and worked seriously. He rubbed it inside and out, and after finishing the work, his whole body felt light.

 After scrubbing, I was patted on the back again, and then I came down to find a shower to rinse off.

 After finishing work, I came out and sat in the lounge. I got tired of being there for almost two hours before I came out.

 I changed into clean clothes from my personal space, feeling fresh and comfortable all over.

　　Du Fei came out of the bathhouse, it was only three o'clock.

When he was taking a bath just now, he planned to visit the yard where Wang Yufen used to live.

This courtyard was originally given to him by Zhou Peng, and was later used by Wang Yufen. Since Wang Yufen went to Nanyang, it has been left to Yu Jiajia and her daughter.

Later, the fire equipment company built a building. Yu Jiajia was an old man and qualified to participate in the housing allocation. He was allocated a building with three bedrooms and one living room and moved from here.

 It should be unoccupied at this time.

Du Fei also went to the street office and picked up a lot of memories, so he suddenly thought of taking a look here.

 Speaking of which, he and Zhou Peng haven't seen each other for a while.

Du Fei was thinking as he walked along the alley, and soon came to the door of the courtyard.

When Wang Yufen lived here, the secret lock was changed for convenience. The door can be opened with the key, and outsiders cannot tell whether there is anyone at home.

 But as Du Fei inserted the key and twisted it, he was slightly surprised.

 The door lock was only put on but not locked.

"Is there anyone there?" Du Fei's heart moved and he pushed the door open, but was suddenly stunned.

I saw someone in the yard, a woman with wet hair, wearing a loose vest and underpants, holding a basin of steaming water in her hand. It looked like she had just washed her hair and was about to pour water.

And Du Fei recognized it at a glance. This woman was Chu Lin, Yu Jiajia's cousin.

Du Fei met her a few years ago. She was very beautiful, just like the daughter of the king in Journey to the West in his impression.

 Just why does Chu Lin live here?

 "Du...Brother Du~" Chu Lin also recognized Du Fei and blushed instantly.

She doesn't look very decent now. She is holding dirty water in her hand. It's not even a matter of throwing it out or putting it down.

 “Xiao Chu~” Du Fei laughed dryly, also a little embarrassed: “You, live here?”

Chu Lin said "hmm", forced herself to put down the basin, and said in a hurry: "I'll get you a glass of water."

 After saying that, he took the opportunity to get into the house.

Du Fei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Chu Lin had screamed just now, he really couldn't explain it.

 After a while, Chu Lin came out holding a water glass and wearing a half-sleeved shirt.

Du Fei took the water glass and explained: "Well, I have some free time today, so I came over to take a look and tidy up the house. I didn't expect..."

Chu Lin quickly explained that she was temporarily staying here through Yu Jiajia.

Hearing what she said, Du Fei seemed to remember that Yu Jiajia had mentioned it to him, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

 At that time, it seemed that Chu Lin and her mother were staying here temporarily.

If it were anyone else, Du Fei might not agree, but Chu Lin's mother and Teacher Wang are sisters, so they had to agree if they didn't want to offend Chen Fangshi.

 Besides, when people maintain a house, especially an old house like this, it is fine if there are people living in it. Once no one lives in it, the house will be useless.

Chu Lin is a little cautious.

Du Fei said he had forgotten she was here, and then asked Chu Lin about her mother.

Chu Lin smiled reluctantly and explained the situation.

It turned out that her mother had already gone to Xiangjiang. After hearing her words, she was quite complaining, fearing that there was something else going on.

But this is a family matter. Du Fei was too lazy to meddle in other people's business and just asked casually.

There was a single girl here, and Du Fei didn't want to treat her too much, so he just gave her a laugh and asked to leave.

Chu Lin thanked her repeatedly, saying that she had always wanted to thank Du Fei but never got the chance.

Du Fei waved his hand and came out of the yard, secretly smiling bitterly in his heart if he had known he would never come.

 This happened.

But having said that, Chu Lin has also grown up. When I first saw this girl, she was pretty but at first glance she looked like a young girl.

Du Fei left, but Chu Lin felt unsure. She was not worried about anything else, but was afraid that this matter would implicate Yu Jiajia.

 Walked around twice in the yard, checked the time, immediately changed his clothes, and hurriedly left home.

 Riding a bicycle, Chu Lin came to Yu Jiajia’s home.

By this time, Little Putao was out of school. Although he was only in the first grade, he was able to take his keys home and was doing his homework at home.

I heard a knock on the door and asked the doctor, "Who is it?"

Outside Chu Lin said: "It's me, aunt."

Little Putao happily opened the door, her big eyes flashing: "Auntie, why are you here?"

Chu Lin smiled and looked up at her head. Little Grape has grown a lot in the past two years, reaching more than 1.2 meters, and looks like a small adult.

Chulin said a few perfunctory words, saying that sitting down meant that Jiajia was off work.

Even though it was not the first time she came to Yu Jiajia’s house, Chu Lin couldn’t help but be envious.

This is a residential building built specifically for cadres by a firefighting equipment company. It has five floors, one staircase and two households. It is very spacious.

Yu Jiajia and Putao live on the second floor, with a five-meter-wide sunny living room, two south rooms and one north room, three bedrooms, plus a kitchen, dining room, and two bathrooms.

There are no public stalls, and the indoor usable area is only one hundred square meters. Not only now, but also thirty years from now, this housing condition will be outstanding in the capital.

 The building is heated centrally, so you don’t have to light a stove to burn the kang yourself in winter. It’s clean and warm.

When Yu Jiajia moved here, Chu Lin also wanted to come with her. Firstly, it would be convenient to live there, and secondly, she would be a companion, and she could help look after the grapes.

Yu Jiajia also wanted her to come, but her mother had not gone to Xiangjiang at that time and insisted that it was inconvenient, so she gave up.

While I was thinking wildly, I heard the sound of opening the door.

 Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was already past five o'clock.

Yu Jiajia came back from get off work and was stunned for a moment when she saw Chu Lin: "Xiao Lin?"

"Sister~" Chu Lin stood up and called someone, and went up to take the vegetables Yu Jiajia had just bought: "I have something to tell you."

 Then he told what happened to Du Fei just now.

Yu Jiajia was also a little confused. She had told Du Fei about it at first, but she thought Du Fei had forgotten about it.

But it's not a big deal. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, you'd better come and live with me. Now that my aunt is gone, I'm a little worried about you living in such a big yard as a girl." Lin said "Yeah", she thought so too, and she just used this as an excuse.

 Actually, Chu Lin didn’t come here before, and another worry was that she was afraid that Yu Jiajia would have someone with her.

Yu Jiajia is not very old, so it is logically impossible for her to remain a widow for the rest of her life. Besides, Yu Jiajia's conditions are so good now that it is not difficult at all to find a partner.

 At the beginning, I was thinking that if Yu Jiajia really wanted to find someone else, it would be inconvenient for Chu Lin to live there.

 But after such a long time, Chu Lin found that Yu Jiajia didn't seem to have any intention of finding a partner.

 …

At the other end, Du Fei came out, a little unmotivated. He looked at the time and saw that it was already late, so he simply didn't go wandering outside and went directly back to the government compound to take care of his children.

 We had a long-distance call at night, and Zhu Ting should be back in a few days.

 The next day, Du Fei went to work as usual.

Yu Jiajia arrived in the morning on the pretext of delivering documents.

Du Fei knew the purpose of her visit and said with a smile: "I was rash yesterday and forgot about what you told me."

Yu Jiajia was afraid of making Du Fei unhappy, so she explained again and asked Chu Lin to move away.

Du Fei waved his hand. If it hadn't been for a sudden whim yesterday, he probably wouldn't have visited that yard for several years.

 Just let Chu Lin continue to live there. It would be bad if no one lives in the house.

Yu Jiajia didn’t have time to say anything else, but at this moment Shen Jianing came in from outside and said with a smile: "You are here~"

Yu Jiajia swallowed the words on her lips and responded quickly: "Good morning, Secretary Shen."

Shen Jianing sat aside: "If you have anything to say, please tell me first."

Yu Jiajia left quickly. The leader was obviously busy, but she still had the foresight.

Shen Jianing saw Yu Jiajia going out and turned to see Du Fei.

Du Fei gathered the things on hand and asked her what she wanted?

Shen Jianing came here early in the morning. He was certainly not idle.

Rubbing her temples with her hands, Shen Jianing complained: "You can act like a hands-off shopkeeper and leave all the trouble to me."

Du Fei chuckled, stood up and poured a glass of water: "Sister, I don't agree with what you said. You are a capable person, so you have to work harder~"

Du Fei knew that the burden of the skyscrapers now rested on Shen Jianing, but this matter happened to be more complicated, and Du Fei really didn't want to get involved.

Shen Jianing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't say sarcastic words to me. If you do this again, I will leave you alone. I'll see how you hide when the time comes."

Of course, just listen to this. Shen Jianing can't really give up, otherwise she won't even have to talk to Du Fei, and her godmother won't be able to get through it.

Du Fei put the water glass in front of her: "Sister, look at you, don't be angry~ Whatever problems you encounter, we will solve them."

Shen Jianing sighed and said, "We haven't even started yet, but we are already quarreling..."

Du Fei listened and realized that it was the problem of the building design team. Two different voices emerged.

 One is looking for America’s team, and the other is looking for designers from Toyo.

Both sides had their reasons, which made Shen Jianing extremely annoyed.

Du Fei raised his eyebrows: "Who had the idea to find Asians?"

Shen Jianing said: "What? At present, the construction technology of Japanese people is considered to be the best in the world."

Du Fei said: "This is not a purely technical issue. It was really designed by Japanese people. How dare you live in this kind of building? Anyway, I don't dare. What if the little devil secretly causes trouble for us? Problems will arise after two and a half days of construction. Who is responsible?"

Shen Jianing pursed her lips and nodded.

Du Fei asked again: "Who suggested using Japanese people? From the Wang family?"

Shen Jianing shook his head and said: "It's not them. They have always been behind the scenes and never intervened in the specific work."

Du Fei was noncommittal and continued: "If it's a design, let's go to America~ Although they are not good people, they are at least a little better than the Japanese. As long as you give them enough money, they can still get things done."

Shen Jianing said "Yeah". With Du Fei's words, she felt confident.

 Otherwise, if the father-in-law talks about the father-in-law and the mother-in-law talks about the mother-in-law, it will be a complete dispute.

 Du Fei is a little worried that this situation has begun to happen before the construction of the world's largest skyscraper has even started.

 There is obviously some kind of secret game involved here.

 Some people want it, some people don’t want it.

Du Fei didn't want to worry about it, but one thing was that there couldn't be any problems with the building itself.

The construction company is a subsidiary of the fire-fighting equipment company, and Shen Jianing is from the fire-fighting equipment company. If something goes wrong, Du Fei and Shen Jianing will not be able to withstand the blame.

Thinking of this, Du Fei reminded: "Sister, you have to keep a close eye on the materials and the workers. There must be no mistakes."

Shen Jianing's heart trembled: "What news did you hear?"

Du Fei shook his head: "What kind of news is this? In short, no matter what the situation, we must not cause problems here."

"I know~" Shen Jianing nodded slowly, knowing that she and Du Fei were on the same boat, and said seriously: "By the way, my sister said last night that she wanted to ask you to come over for dinner the day after tomorrow on Sunday. Can Xiaoting come back?" Let’s go with the kids.”

Du Fei blinked, and Shen Jiaxing asked him to go to dinner.

Shen Jiaxing has a special status. Asking him to come over for dinner is definitely not a simple meal, and he shouldn't be the only one.

Du Fei asked who else was there?

 Just ask Wang Hongqi if he wants to go.

Shen Jianing said: "If he doesn't go, you will be alone."

Du Fei frowned slightly, a little confused as to what kind of medicine Shen Jiaxing was selling in his gourd.

Logically speaking, Shen Jiaxing and Wang Hongqi are on the same line. Last time they went to Nanyang to transport people, Du Fei and Wang Hongqi cooperated pretty well.

That time, Wang Hongqi was quite capable. At least in terms of organizational planning, Wang Hongqi was indeed very strong.

 What does it mean to call him this time without Wang Hongqi?

 Wang Hongqi…Wang…

Du Fei suddenly thought, could it be the Wang family?

 Or just a coincidence?

 When Shen Jianing left, Du Fei couldn't help but rub his forehead with his hands.

 All morning, Du Fei was still thinking about the whole story.

 At this time, another uninvited guest came.

"Jingle Bell"

The phone rang for a while. Du Fei reached out to pick it up and said "hello", then he was slightly surprised: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

 After saying that, he put down the phone, got up and went to the front yard.

Since the two yards next door were cleared and turned into the technical research and development department of the fire-fighting equipment company, the original Jin Family Courtyard has been completely occupied by the fire-fighting equipment company.

The previous living room was also moved from the side room in the front yard of Du Fei's side to the main room in the front yard of Zhonglu Yard.

The house here is more spacious and more stylish after renovation.

 Arrived here, Du Fei met an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

 “Dusan, long time no see!”…
