After the strike at the Xiaochuan Shopping Mall, the county's work on the reform of state-owned enterprises seemed to be more urgent. Xie Tongzhi was so busy that he didn't even care about his own daughter.

The next day, Tang Qing rode a motorcycle to the Chengnan branch that Hua Lianyue mentioned.

Hua Lianyue had already been waiting there. After Tang Qing arrived, Hua Lianyue took her to get familiar with work.

Xie Yufei has been eating instant noodles at home for a few days, and she felt that it would be better to go to Southeast Construction Company to find Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue. At least in Southeast Construction Company, there is no problem with three meals a day.

Thinking of this, she resolutely carried her schoolbag and went to Southeast Construction Company.

Hua Lianyue was gone, Xie Yufei found five Jiangnan and others next door who were reading, then put down her schoolbag and joined the learning army.

Xie Yufei didn't expect that these people were still so busy studying during the summer vacation, and their learning progress was far greater than her. She immediately restrained her mind and read the book seriously.

At noon, Hua Lianyue took Tang Qing back to Southeast Construction Company and had dinner with everyone at the canteen of Southeast Construction Company at noon.

After dinner, Tang Qing went to Jiangnan Huayue Company next door to get to know the situation.

Hua Lianyue had nothing to do, so she picked up the books and went to study with everyone.

On Friday, the Western Railway Station of the Imperial Capital.

After getting off the train, Wang Yuandao couldn't wait to find a public phone to call Liang Xiaoqi and asked her to have dinner together in the evening.

Liang Xiaoqi received the call for no reason and said, "Wang Yuan said, don't you come home after a business trip? What food do you want to ask me for? I'm not afraid that your wife will scratch you if she finds out."

Wang Yuandao smiled and said, "Come on, at 6:30 pm, Donglaishun, behind our unit, I have something important to tell you."

Liang Xiaoqi curled her lips on the other end of the phone and said, "What important thing can you do? Let me tell you, although I am divorced, you don't want to make any decisions about me."

Wang Yuandao looked dark and cursed: "What are you thinking about? Do you want to love or not? Let me tell you, I met an old friend in eastern Gandong."

Liang Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Old friend, there is an old friend in Gandong..."

Halfway through, she suddenly was stunned. Can it be...

Liang Xiaoqi shouted on the phone: "You meet Jiang..."

Before Liang Xiaoqi finished speaking, she found that the phone had already hung up and a "beep" sound came from the receiver.

After putting down the phone, Liang Xiaoqi thought absent-mindedly about what Wang Yuandao said just now. Could it be Jiang Weihua? It should be him? Where can there be any old friends in eastern Ganzhou? Even if there are old friends, who can be related to Wang Yuandao and himself at the same time?

Liang Xiaoqi was absent-minded all afternoon. After get off work, she picked up her bag and rushed out of the unit, took a taxi, and headed straight to Donglaishun that Wang Yuandao had made an appointment with her.

Wang Yuandao has arrived, and the dishes and pots have been served.

Looking at Liang Xiaoqi who was still breathing heavily in front of him, Wang Yuandao smiled and said, "Why, aren't you working overtime today in foreign trade?"

Liang Xiaoqi threw her bag on the table, sat down, and asked three times in a row: "Did you meet Jiang Weihua? Where is he now? Why did he hide from me back then?"

Wang Yuandao looked at Liang Xiaoqi who was excited and said with a smile: "You don't even pretend to be Jiang Weihua in your heart, right? I'll tell you that his son is almost on the same side as him."

Liang Xiaoqi shouted: "You answer my question first."

Wang Yuandao sighed, lit a cigarette, and then said slowly: "I originally promised him not to mention it to anyone when he comes back, but on the train I came back, I thought about it and should tell you."

Liang Xiaoqi nodded and waited for his next words.

Wang Yuandao looked at Liang Xiaoqi and said seriously: "Can I ask you a question? You can't lie to me."

Liang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "You ask, so many years have passed, what else can I not answer you."

Wang Yuandao said: "Did you and Jiang Weihua fall in love?"

Liang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment and said, "At that time, I gradually became a fond of him, and later I really fell in love with him, but I had not yet developed into a lover's relationship, mainly because I was too busy during that period."

Wang Yuandao nodded and said, "I did meet Jiang Weihua in Gandong Province, but his name is not Jiang Weihua now. His real name is Jiang Dongping. Jiang Weihua was changed by his teacher when he was in high school. In a special era, there are many people who changed his name."

Seeing that Liang Xiaoqi didn't say anything, Wang Yuandao continued, "Jiang Weihua and you were intern in foreign trade and were actually assigned to foreign trade."

Liang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I know this."

Wang Yuandao said: "Later, your mother thought you were in love with Jiang Weihua, so she used her relationship and assigned him to the Gandong Provincial Office and took away his files."

Liang Xiaoqi was stunned after hearing this, and after a long time, she said, "It happened that during that time, my brother and I went to Jiaodong for a trip."

Wang Yuandao said: "Jiang Weihua had to go to Gandong Province to report, but the Gandong Province Office said that there was no file for him. At that time, his grandfather passed away. Jiang Weihua first returned to his hometown. Later, he also called the school and Gandong Province Office for inquiries many times, but both sides said that there was no file for him."

Liang Xiaoqi frowned and asked, "What's next?"

Wang Yuandao said again: "During that time, his elder brother was on the southern front line. His mother was not in good health. Maybe he was a little discouraged, so he worked as a substitute teacher in the village. A year later, the files were transferred from the province to the county, and Jiang Weihua applied for the supply and marketing cooperative in their township and had been working in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town for so many years."

After listening to it, Liang Xiaoqi was already in tears.

Wang Yuandao did not tell Liang Xiaoqi that Jiang Dongping had been transferred to the county supply and marketing cooperative to work. He was afraid that Liang Xiaoqi would really look for it, and he did not want to cause trouble to Jiang Dongping.

Sure enough, Liang Xiaoqi asked: "Do you know which township supply and marketing cooperative he is in?"

Wang Yuandao shook his head and said, "I don't know this anymore. Jiang Weihua didn't say it. Liang Xiaoqi, when I parted with Jiang Dongping, I left all my phone address to him, but he left nothing to me. He also told me to go back to the imperial capital and not mention this matter to my classmates. I guess he doesn't want to see us again."

Liang Xiaoqi wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I ruined his life, how could he want to see me?"

Wang Yuandao comforted Liang Xiaoqi and said, "Liang Xiaoqi, what happened back then was not your responsibility. I told you about this, but I just felt that as the party involved, you should know about this."

Liang Xiaoqi wiped away her tears, looked at Wang Yuandao and said, "Thank you, Wang Yuandao, this incident has puzzled me for more than ten years. I always thought that it was Jiang Weihua who deliberately avoided me."

Wang Yuandao said: "I originally said to go to his room to talk to him at night, but unfortunately I drank too much that night. When I went to find him the next morning, he had already checked out."

Liang Xiaoqi asked, "Do you know what their father and son are doing in Changbei?"

Wang Yuandao shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I also met him in the private room of the restaurant. Later, the deputy secretary-general of the provincial office heard that I had a classmate from Gandong and was assigned to the provincial office. Then he called him over and talked for a few words. If Deputy Secretary-General Huang didn't talk about the retired Vice Governor Chen who had been thinking about this matter, I guess Jiang Weihua wouldn't have said a word."

Liang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, Wang Yuan said, I'll go back first, I'll treat you to dinner when I have time."

Wang Yuandao looked at the mutton and vegetables that had just arrived and said depressedly: "Let's go after you finish eating, I can't finish it alone."

Liang Xiaoqi shook her head and said, "I really don't have an appetite, you can eat it."

After saying that, Liang Xiaoqi turned around and went back.

When she got home, Liang Xiaoqi couldn't wait to call her mother.

When the phone was connected, Liang Xiaoqi said calmly: "Mom, I want to ask you something, can you tell me the truth?"

Xiao Zhulan said on the other end of the phone: "Your mother has never told lies since I joined the revolution."

Liang Xiaoqi said: "You were assigned to Jiang Weihua to Gandong when he was assigned to you."

Xiao Zhulan didn't expect that her daughter was talking about this. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's right, I thought you had a good impression of him at the beginning. I didn't want you to get together with him, so I asked someone to divide him into Gandong and took his files from the school. I deducted the files in my hand for more than half a year."

Liang Xiaoqi said: "You drove him to Gandong just to prevent me from being with him. You detained his files, but you didn't want him to report to Gandong Province. You are afraid that I will go to Gandong Province to find him."

Xiao Zhulan said: "Yes, with your personality, you will definitely go to Gandong to find him, and you may even take the initiative to ask for assignment to Gandong. Later, didn't you still go to Gandong to find him?"

Liang Xiaoqi said again: "Why don't you want me to be with him so much?"

Xiao Zhulan said: "You grew up in the imperial capital. He comes from the rural areas of southern Ganzhou. The environment you grew up in is vastly different. How can you be happy together?"

Liang Xiaoqi said: "So you will ruin the future of a young man because of your own selfishness."

Xiao Zhulan sighed and said, "Parents are selfish for their children."

Liang Xiaoqi thought for a while and said, "Mom, why did you participate in the revolution back then? You overthrew the old society, just to liberate the oppressed people and let those oppressed people live well in the new society, have freedom of love and freedom of marriage. Why do you want to oppress a young man from the countryside and give me an arranged marriage."

Xiao Zhulan was silent on the other end of the phone.
