The jeep drove directly into the Friendship Hotel.
For now, the Great Wall Hotel is the highest-end hotel in the capital, and many foreign affairs events are held here.
It has a square shape and is based on black marble, which gives people a very heavy and majestic feeling. The Friendship Hotel was completed a long time ago. The main building was built in the 1950s. It was in the honeymoon period with its northern neighbors. In terms of architectural style
Above, it will inevitably be influenced by Russian style.
"Hongyu, I have opened the room. Let's get together today. We will go see the old man tomorrow."
Baoxing parked the car and led Fan Hongyu and Gao Jie to the hotel, talking as they walked.
Fan Hongyu stopped immediately and looked at him in surprise: "Going to see the old man?"
Bao Xing seemed even more surprised and said: "That's right. You've arrived in the capital and you don't want to see the old man? He has been saying it several times, saying he wants to see you."
Isn’t this something you told Fan Hongyu a long time ago?
"Hongyu, don't be nervous, just treat this as an ordinary visit. In fact, the old man is quite kind and not as serious as the rumors say."
Bao Xing understood Fan Hongyu's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
Fan Hongyu shook his head gently, not knowing what to say. As Bao Xing said, he had already arrived in the capital. It would be too rude not to see the old man again. Do he really want the old man to invite him in an eight-carriage sedan?
Because they agreed to meet the old man tomorrow, Bao Xing did not invite any other guests. It was just the four of them who had a good gathering in the small box of the Friendship Hotel. Gao Jie and Tong Yu were classmates and had not seen each other for a while, so they talked a lot.
Fan Hongyu originally thought that Gao Jie would not be interested in topics such as "fashion", but unexpectedly, the two of them had a lively chat and were discussing which famous department stores in the capital to go shopping in the past few days.
Seeing Fan Hongyu's wide-eyed look of shock, Gao Jie flattened her mouth and said disdainfully: "Who said the mayor can't buy good clothes?"
"Of course it can... Our Maplewood Town has such a beautiful mayor. It is really a blessing for the cadres and the masses. If nothing else, when you wake up every morning, you can see an extremely beautiful scenery and immediately feel energetic.
No matter what work I do, I am extremely energetic.”
Director Fan immediately flooded with flattery.
Bao Xing laughed loudly, while Tong Yu pursed her lips and chuckled, pinching Gao Jie secretly under the table, with a look of teasing in her eyes.
Subordinates like Fan Hongyu should be rare, right?
At night, Baoxing Tong Yu invited Gao Jie and Fan Hongyu to watch a movie.
At that time, there was really little entertainment, and there were some new things for the dandies in the capital, such as having dance parties and watching in-house movies. However, Baoxing, a serious field army officer who came from a military family, was not that familiar with these entertainments and it was not easy to invite Fan Hongyu.
Go to a party like that. Fortunately, the most important thing about making friends is knowing each other. It doesn't matter whether you want to play new things or not.
The four of them were talking and laughing, as happy as watching a movie.
In the evening, we stayed at the Friendship Hotel.
Bao Xing and Tong Yu did not go home, but stayed in the hotel to accompany them.
After breakfast the next morning, Bao Xing immediately acted as a coachman and sent Gao Jie and Tong Yu to a famous shopping street. He said goodbye to them with a smile, then grabbed Fan Hongyu and headed straight to the West City.
In the capital city of 1987, there was not much traffic, traffic conditions were good, and cars moved very fast.
But it was the torrent of bicycles rolling on both sides of the road that opened Fan Hongyu's eyes. He had only heard of the capital's "bicycle army" in TV novels before, but this time he saw it with his own eyes. It was really spectacular and breathtaking. Although Director Fan was conceited about his skills,
I am agile, but I also feel that to ride steadily in such a torrent of bicycles, my skills may not be enough.
Soon, the jeep drove to a quiet alley.
At the entrance of the alley, there were soldiers with loaded ammunition standing guard.
This is also a major feature of the capital. You can see soldiers standing guard everywhere, standing upright and majestic. There are really too many important units and big figures that need to be protected.
The alley was not spacious, and there were already cars parked in it. Bao Xing parked the jeep at the entrance of the alley and led Fan Hongyu forward on foot. When the soldier on duty saw Bao Xing, he nodded slightly and did not stop him. He seemed to be very familiar with Bao Xing.
.
As spring returns to the earth, from time to time, you can see some lush greenery on both sides of the quiet alleys, stretching out from the ancient courtyards, swaying in the wind, green and full of vitality, which makes people feel happy.
.
Bao Xing pushed open the wooden door of an ancient courtyard house and said with a smile: "We're here, please come!"
As soon as I entered the door, I was immediately greeted by a middle-aged lesbian in her forties. This lesbian had a relatively rich figure and was dressed in an extremely orthodox dress. At first glance, she seemed to have returned to the 1970s, but she was smiling all over her face.
, dignified appearance and extremely approachable.
"Bao Xing, here we come, is this Comrade Fan Hongyu?"
The middle-aged lesbian asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mom, this is Hongyu."
Bao Xing said with a smile.
Fan Hongyu was startled. He thought it was the staff around the old man, but unexpectedly it was Bao Xing's mother. It could be seen that Mrs. Bao came here specially to greet him. This etiquette was really too grand. Fan Hongyu was surprised and confused.
I was so moved that I quickly bowed deeply to Bao's mother and said respectfully: "Hello, aunt!"
This is the general's wife!
"Okay, Hongyu, I've wanted to invite you to my home for a long time. But you've been busy at work... I finally came today, please come in. Just treat this as your own home, don't
See you outside."
Bao's mother agreed repeatedly, took Fan Hongyu's hand again, looked him up and down, smiling broadly. The situation was like a mother admiring her child. Fan Hongyu could completely feel the closeness from the heart. It was definitely not
Pretend to be polite and polite.
But in an instant, the distance between him and this courtyard became closer, and his originally slightly nervous mood quickly calmed down.
Mrs. Bao's affinity should be innate, but she doesn't know what kind of job she is engaged in.
But no matter what job she does, it is definitely a blessing to be able to work with her.
"Come on, come in. It's still a little cold outside..."
"Yes, thank you, auntie."
Fan Hongyu remained respectful and followed Mrs. Bao step by step into the main hall of the courtyard.
"Old man, Hongyu is here."
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Bao said with a smile. Her voice was not very loud. It was expected that the old man was still hearing and seeing well, so there was no need to speak loudly to communicate.
"Haha, okay, okay, come in quickly!"
Immediately, a burst of hearty, slightly old laughter came from inside the door.
I saw half a circle of cloth sofas placed in the ancient hall, which looked very old. Like the office supplies in Maplewood Town, they should have been left over from the 1950s and 1960s. From this, we can also get a glimpse of the old people.
The thrifty and thrifty character of the revolutionaries of this generation.
Sitting on the couch in the middle was an old man with white hair and a pale face, but his face was red. He was leaning on a cane, his back was straight, his eyes were bright, and he looked very energetic.
This, of course, is Mr. Bao, the founding father of Kyushu.
Next to Mr. Bao, sat an old lady in her seventies with the same gray hair on her temples. She had a rich figure and a kind face. She should be Mr. Bao's revolutionary companion and the mistress of this courtyard.
Sitting on the sofa on one side was a man in uniform who was about fifty years old. He looked very similar to the old lady. He had the same straight waist and majestic appearance. He must be Bao Xing's father, General Bao Ping'an, the head of a certain department in the headquarters.
Bao Xing's appearance is more similar to that of the old man. When the two go out, others can tell at a glance that they are grandparents without any introduction.
Fan Hongyu stepped forward quickly, bowed deeply to Mr. and Mrs. Bao, and respectfully said hello: "Hello, Grandpa Bao! Hello, Grandma!"
"Okay, good boy!"
Mr. Bao did not hide his love for Fan Hongyu at all and praised him repeatedly.
The old lady smiled and couldn't help but look at Fan Hongyu. It was this young man who was brave and invincible. He penetrated the siege and rescued her grandson and granddaughter-in-law from "thousands of troops". I saw it today, and it turned out that he was.
What a mighty and strong young man, exactly in line with the image that the old lady usually guessed.
After greeting the old man and the old lady, Fan Hongyu turned to Bao Ping'an, bowed respectfully, and said loudly: "Hello, General Bao!"
Bao Ping'an didn't look very serious. He smiled and said slightly teasingly: "Hongyu, you called me grandpa and grandma, but now you call me General Bao. Isn't it a bit preferential?"
Fan Hongyu's face turned slightly red and he immediately said, "Yes, Uncle Bao."
"Well, that's only fair. From now on, this is also your home. You can come over at any time, but don't see us outside. Come, sit down, don't be formal."
Bao Ping'an smiled, nodded, and greeted.
"Yes, thank you Uncle Bao."
Although Fan Hongyu changed his name, the rules were not messed up at all. He bowed slightly again and then sat down on the sofa opposite Bao Ping'an. He straightened his waist, put his hands on his knees, held his head high and held his chest high, and his sitting posture was meticulous.
Bao Ping'an nodded slightly and said, "Hongyu, I heard that you went to a public security school to study criminal investigation?"
"Yes, Uncle Bao. I studied at Hongzhou Public Security School for three years."
"Haha, no wonder you have such an obvious military aura. The students in the public security school are also managed in a militarized manner. Well, you are very good."
Mrs. Bao personally served tea to Fan Hongyu.
Fan Hongyu thanked him again and again.
Mrs. Bao then went over and sat down next to Bao Ping'an. Bao Xing sat with Fan Hongyu, took off his hat and placed it squarely on the coffee table aside.
The rigorous style of the army can be seen everywhere in the ancient courtyard.
The military family has been undefeated for decades and has its own heritage worth upholding.
