Although this trip back to the capital didn't start well, the whole process went smoothly.

When signing for the ticket in the provincial capital, as expected, she did not sign in and take the ticket. After getting on the train, Liu Xinyu casually took a seat by the window. As a result, no one came to ask for the seat. Apparently this seat was reserved by the station but was not sold. Liu Xinyu’s I was lucky twice and got this window seat.

It is much more comfortable to have a window seat when riding a green train without air conditioning in the summer.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Liu Xinyu not only breathed in coal smoke all the way, but when she arrived in the capital, her face and body were even stained with coal ash.

Today's train was a bit late, and it was already almost 3:30 pm when we arrived in Beijing.

When I returned to Changchun Lane, of course I quickly boiled water and took a bath.

I used several pots of boiling water before I could wash my whole body thoroughly. It was already past six o'clock.

It gets dark late in the summer, although it's already past six o'clock and there's still more than an hour until sunset.

Liu Xinyu packed herself up, got on her bicycle and headed to school with her backpack on her back.

Although the equipment introduction department called her directly for the interpretation work this time, the department should also know about it. It seemed that there were other students from Peking University involved in this work, so Liu Xinyu planned to go to the department director to find out the situation. So as not to be in a hurry tomorrow.

This would be lunch time, and Liu Xinyu would certainly not go to the department chairperson's house at this time.

I found a noodle shop at the west gate of the school and had a simple dinner. Then I went around to the courtyard where Xiao's family lived and had a look. I found that someone seemed to be living in the courtyard, and I couldn't help but be shocked.

What exactly was discovered?

She has only been away from Beijing for more than half a month!

Liu Xinyu walked around to the gate of the courtyard, got off her bicycle and looked inside. People were indeed living there. There were clothes drying racks set up in the yard. The clothes hanging to dry were dripping with water!

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing sneakily?!" Before Liu Xinyu could see the people inside, an unfriendly voice came from behind.

Liu Xinyu looked back and saw a little girl about the same age as herself, glaring at her with an unhappy face.

Although I don't know who this girl is, one thing is certain, she should live here, otherwise she wouldn't be so unkind to me.

Liu Xinyu smiled lightly and said: "I live in Changchun Lane in front of me and I was passing by."

"Passing by? Then why are you stretching your neck to look in?" The girl was a little reluctant.

"Which confidential unit is this? Can't we see it?" Liu Xinyu raised her eyebrows and looked at the girl and asked in surprise.

Even if there are some differences from the Xin Yu period, this place cannot be a confidential unit. What confidential unit would set up a clothes drying rack in the yard?

The girl frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Xinyu's rhetorical question: "Why are you like this? Although this is not a confidential unit, it is a private house. If you do this, I can sue you for breaking into a private house and let the police arrest you and put you in jail." "

Liu Xinyu couldn't help but laugh.

Could it be that she was so frightened that people broke into her private home?

Although she was indeed standing at the door of the courtyard, she was standing on a public road and still far from the door!

The girl was a little annoyed by Liu Xinyu's laughter, and she reached out to push Liu Xinyu.

At this moment, a gentle middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the courtyard and shouted to the girl: "Xiao Min, stop it. If you cause me trouble again, go back to the countryside!"

Xiao Min? The surname is Xiao!

Then this middle-aged man should be the legendary prodigal Xiao!

He looks polite and like a cultured person, but he talks like a street gangster.

Liu Xinyu couldn't help but shook her head secretly in her heart, no wonder he ended up becoming a famous prodigal son in the capital!

Xiao Min was shouted at, so she took back her hand and shook it hard, "hum" at Liu Xinyu, and ran into the courtyard.

"I'm sorry, little girl, my daughter is ignorant and I surprised you." Mr. Xiao apologized to Liu Xinyu. At this time, he looked like a cultural person or a noble man from the capital.

Liu Xinyu smiled calmly and said: "It's okay. I can't completely blame the sister just now. It's actually because this yard has been closed for almost a year, and someone suddenly lived in it, which made me curious and stopped to take a look. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

, I’m talking about what it’s like today.”

Maybe he thought Liu Xinyu was funny, so Xiao didn't go in immediately and explained a few words with a smile.

It turns out that Xiao San's son was sent to the northwest for labor reform a few years ago. His ex-wife divorced him and took his children back to the south. It is said that his ex-wife and several children all smuggled themselves to Hong Kong City in the past few years.

Xiao Min, a prodigal son, formed a new family in the countryside with a widow with a daughter, and gave birth to a son, who is only five years old now, and Xiao Min is the daughter brought by the widow.

Xiao Shan's son came back to the capital two years ago, and it was not until half a month ago that he took his wife and children back to the capital.

The place where I originally lived was a large courtyard with a lot of people. Just two days after living there, Xiao Min, who had a bad temper, had several quarrels and even fights with people. Yesterday, he even beat someone's leg.

Broken bones.

Xiao San's son had no choice but to take his family and live in a courtyard temporarily.

Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Prodigal to tell Liu Xinyu the detailed reasons.

At this time, Liu Xinyu only knew that Xiao San's son had taken his wife and children back to the capital and would make the courtyard his home from now on.

This seems to be quite different from the Xin Yu period.

If Xiao's prodigal son made the courtyard his home, would he still sell the courtyard?

Liu Xinyu left the courtyard with a lot of questions and walked slowly to school.

I wasted some time in Xiao Sanjiazi's courtyard, and it was almost eight o'clock when I arrived at the dean's house.

"I thought you hadn't come back yet! You just arrived today, did you have a smooth journey?" The department head personally poured a cup of herbal tea for Liu Xinyu and asked with concern.

Liu Xinyu smiled sweetly and said: "Well, I just arrived in the afternoon. The journey was smooth. Although I didn't sign in for a seat, I got on the bus and took a seat and got a seat by the window."

The head of the department shook his head and sighed: "Then you are really lucky! We just came back from Beihu yesterday, and we stood for seven or eight stops before we got a seat!"

In an era when transportation capacity was insufficient, as long as it was not official business, people at the level of department chair had to buy their own tickets.

After chatting for a few words, the head of the department introduced the main situation of the interpretation task that will start tomorrow to Liu Xinyu.

It turns out that the import department is going to introduce a large-scale fertilizer production equipment this time. Half of the negotiations have been carried out with this large German company, and it is now at a critical moment.

The guests will fly to Beijing tomorrow morning.

Because it is a professional group from Germany, of course, it mainly needs German interpretation.

However, the professional team is not entirely composed of German experts. There is also an American expert among them, and he is also a very important member.

This expert is the one Liu Xinyu needs to serve.
