Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
Talk and laugh are all for fun.
"I came here just to see an old friend. I'm almost fifty now. At this age, people start to worry about unnecessary factors. If something happens, I'm afraid there will be no chance to see you again. That's why I came here while I can still move."
"Bah! What are you talking about at your age?"
Wan Feng did not explain further. If he said too much of this kind of thing, it would cause a sad situation, so it was best to stop at the right time.
Next they drank and chatted, and the banquet lasted until after ten o'clock. After the banquet, Wan Feng also gave the gifts he brought to these friends.
A small set of the finest jade from Xiuyan, the Jade Capital.
The jade purchased by Wan Feng is not the broken jade that can be bought for dozens of dollars in ordinary stores, but the best jade in Xiuyan. Each set is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Then it’s time to travel and enjoy the scenery.
The banks of the Longjiang River are still very interesting in the summer. There are many beautiful women here, and of course there are also white-skinned Russian beauties.
There are quite a few Russian girls working in China. These women are quite open-minded. They walk around the river in bikinis, attracting the attention of many men.
Especially those men wearing sunglasses. Don’t be fooled by their indifferent appearance. You never know what they are looking at behind the lenses.
If someone wants to watch, he can watch openly. Not only that, he can also take the initiative to say hello to the girls. Although he has forgotten a lot of Russian, it is still no problem for him to say hello and seduce a girl.
Wen Zhongguo and Zhou Lin were extremely envious when they saw that the boss seduced a bunch of long-legged young girls to take photos with him with just a few words.
Only Han Guangjia lay on the beach, indifferent.
However, Wan Feng did not come to Heihe to seduce Maomei. After spending a not-so-romantic afternoon by the river, he went to inspect a base.
Nanwan Group has a vehicle base in Heihe, which is mainly used to provide post-production supplies for winter test vehicles.
There are complete vehicle repair and maintenance equipment here, and a large number of commonly used vehicle parts are stored.
But in the summer there are not many people here, only a few night watchmen.
In winter, if there is no test drive mission, there are not many people here.
In the afternoon, Wan Feng visited the base and gave each person on duty two thousand yuan as a token of his condolences.
Shami the coward came across the river again today and invited him to go over to take a look, but Wan Feng thought about it and refused.
Russia's current economic development is half-dead. Blagoveshchensk is only at the level of a county-level city in China. What's there to see?
There are quite a few people on Maomei and Heihe's side, and they are all young, so he doesn't cross the river.
Next, Wan Feng, accompanied by He Xiao, Li Guangyin and others, visited several newly developed scenic spots and historical sites in Heihe. During the visit, he also went to Mohe to experience the scenery of the northernmost point in China.
In a blink of an eye, he had been in Heihe for four or five days.
I feel like everyone who needs to see something has seen it, and it’s time to go back.
At eight o'clock in the morning on July 6th, Wan Feng waved goodbye to his friends Heihe with a slightly sad mood and started his journey home.
Heihe is 215 miles away from Wu County.
The convoy set off at 8 o'clock, arrived in Wuxian at 12:30, and then left Wuxian and headed south without stopping.
Half an hour later, we arrived at a place called Chenqing Town, eighty miles away from Wu County.
Twenty miles east of here, on a hill, is the 31st Company of the 4th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Red Border River Construction Corps.
Starting from the 31st Company, there are five companies heading northeast, from the 31st Company to the 35th Company. Further northeast is the primeval forest.
Strictly speaking, this is Wan Feng's real hometown.
He grew up in this small mountain village until the winter of 1979 when he returned to his grandmother's home in Beiliao Province to avoid war preparations.
After the war preparations, this place was merged and their family moved to the 42nd Company of the 3rd Battalion.
Chen Qing told him that the five companies on the mountain had been merged into only the 32nd and 34th companies. The remaining companies were no longer inhabited, and the previous houses had been demolished and turned into farmland.
Since there was nothing left, Wan Feng gave up the idea of going to take a look, and the convoy continued to head south.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after a five-hour journey, the convoy arrived in Harbin.
After staying in Harbin for one night, Wan Feng visited Jiang Ming the next day.
Compared with the friends Wan Feng saw in Heihe, Jiang Ming was really old. He was over seventy years old and had long passed the age of vigor and vitality. He seemed to have a bit of Alzheimer's disease. When he saw Wan Feng, his reaction time exceeded three seconds.
Fortunately, he still recognized Wan Feng.
Jiang Ming now leaves all his business to his two sons, and he and his wife Xu Xueqi no longer take care of anything.
Time is really a killing knife.
Xu Xueqi was the most famous educated youth beauty in the Fourth Battalion back then, and there were several fights between men for her.
But now, he has white hair and wrinkles all over his face.
Wan Feng did not stay in Harbin for long. After seeing Jiang Ming and his wife, he continued to march south.
At five o'clock in the afternoon on July 8th, I returned to Jiangwei exhausted.
This time, Wan Feng was away from home for a total of eight days, but he felt like he had been away for two or three months.
It’s better to go home.
As soon as he got home, his two wives, who were no longer as beautiful as flowers but still had charm, came over to him attentively to ask about his well-being, and gave him massages and leg massages.
Make someone so happy that they almost fly away.
There is a saying that goes: good times are always short.
After dinner, the two wives went out to dance square dance.
What made Wan Feng very depressed was that Luan Feng formed a square dance team named: Fengwu.
One call and a hundred people responded, and there were actually more than a hundred people.
This is almost as bad as the zombie team in Jiamusi.
She and Zhang Xuan took the lead in occupying the public area in the middle of Xiaoshutun and became the kings, dancing until nine or ten o'clock in the evening.
This is not acceptable, as it will disrupt the rest of the children in families with students.
Wan Feng directly drove them to the Bay Heart Park in Nandawan.
It's far away from residential areas, so no one will care even if you jump and scream at night.
When Wan Feng had nothing to do, he would go to see the performances of the Fengwu Dance Troupe.
Not to mention that there is a professional like Zhang Xuan who has trained a model team, the level of the Fengwu dance team is still quite high.
Moreover, the people selected are all relatively smooth-looking, and there are absolutely no fat or ugly people.
At the same time, their dancing is not conventional. They practice everything and are very familiar with the ghost step dance.
Luan Feng, Zhang Xuan, Liang Hongying, and Xu Meilin, these four women leading the group were definitely a pleasing sight. Although they were all between forty-five and forty-six, and forty-seven and forty-eight, their figures were no worse than those of some other girls.
Wan Feng had no objection to other people square dancing, but he felt uncomfortable when Xu Meilin did it.
You are a scientist, okay? How could you be in cahoots with ordinary women?
