Rebirth of the Flying Era

In Beijing at the end of April, it rained just last night, and the dusty sky and ground looked particularly pure.

The smell of earth after rain lingers in the air.

There are already some units on the street preparing for May Day celebrations.

Economic growth in the first half of this year was good.

Especially in several northern coastal cities near Beijing, as textile and garment group factories started operations one after another, hundreds of thousands of jobs were created at once, greatly easing the employment pressure in the north.

Especially female workers, who were originally determined to go to the countryside, many have entered factories.

Some have already started working, and some are still training. No matter what, the whole family is full of joy.

Du Fei sat in the car and looked outside.

The jeep was from the airport, not specifically to see Du Fei off. Du Fei was on business in the city, so Du Fei gave him a lift.

At this moment, a bus suddenly drove towards us. There was a big red flower hanging on the front of the bus. It drove past on Chang'an Street, which was particularly eye-catching.

Du Fei couldn't help but take a few more glances and asked, "Who is in the car?"

The airport staff who was driving also saw it and said with a smile: "You are talking about this~ I heard that he is a scientist studying satellites and he will go to Tiananmen Square in two days for Labor Day~"

Du Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder.

The most recent big event is the successful launch of the Dongfanghong-1 satellite a few days ago.

This time, the ‘Two One-Star’ achievements are all successfully unlocked.

It's a pity that Du Fei was floating on the sea at the time and did not experience the empty atmosphere at that moment.

In the blink of an eye, he missed the bus. Du Fei couldn't help but look back. He didn't look back until the bus turned and was out of sight.

The jeep then parked near the local Anmen Street, and Du Fei got out of the car and said goodbye to the driving staff.

After the jeep drove away, I slowly walked towards the Red Star Bathhouse.

It was still morning, Zhu Ting was at work, and Du Fei was not in a hurry to go back.

I happened to go to the bathhouse to relieve my fatigue by soaking in bubbles.

I stayed in the tropics for more than a month. I took a shower almost every day. Otherwise, I would be covered in sweat and would not be able to sleep at night.

But for Du Fei, taking a shower and taking a bath are completely different things.

Showering, as the name suggests, is to cool off.

It is a superficial technique that uses the evaporation of water on the skin to take away heat.

Taking a bath is to soak in the pool, sweat all over your body, find a skilled master to rub it, and then drink a pot of hot tea in the lounge, that is called comfort.

Du Fei stayed in Kuching and felt sticky every day, thinking that he had to take a good bath when he returned to the capital.

Come to the bathhouse.

There were not many guests in the morning. A man in his forties was sitting in the front hall, with one leg propped up and his heel on the edge of the chair. He was picking his feet while listening to the joke about "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" playing on the radio.

Du Fei was considered a regular visitor here. The bell hanging on the door rang when he opened the door.

The man looked up and immediately said with a smile: "Hey, man, I'm not at work today!"

Du Fei responded with a smile, asked for a number plate, and asked, "Is Master Zhang free?"

The man said: "Look what you said, there are so many people here at this time, the water was changed last night."

Du Fei smiled, went inside, stripped naked, and had the basket of clothes picked up and hung on the roof.

He put a white towel on his shoulders and walked inside with soap and shampoo.

In the rest hall, several bath masters gathered together, drinking water from a large teapot, and watching the two of them play chess.

As soon as Du Fei came in, someone looked up and took a look.

One of the men in his thirties immediately came up to him with a smile: "Manager Du, you haven't been here for a while." It was Master Zhang who was taking a bath.

Du Fei handed over the number plate and took a peony cigarette: "You'll have to work harder later."

Master Zhang quickly nodded his thanks, took the cigarette with both hands, pinned it to his ears, and watched Du Fei enter the hall.

A young man standing nearby came over and asked, "Master, who is this? I heard you call me manager."

Master Zhang glanced at the young man: "Zhao'er, you just came here a few days ago. Remember from now on, this manager Du is not an ordinary person. He lived in the alley in the north back then, and his family didn't have a family. Now...does the fire equipment company to the west know about it?"

The young man named Zhao nodded hurriedly.

Master Zhang said: "This is the manager there, the top leader, the boss."

When Xiao Zhaoer heard this, he couldn't help but gasped. His home was in Xicheng, and he passed that alley every day when he went to work.

From time to time, you can see a Hongqi car parked at the door.

In this day and age, there are not many units that can use Hongqi cars. Without a certain level, you can't even think about it.

Du Fei didn't know that he had become a topic of conversation among others. When he got into the hall, he turned on the shower first and then went into the big pool.

The pool made of white tiles had some damaged edges, which had been polished with a whetstone to avoid scratching the buttocks.

There is nothing we can do about it. After all, it is a public property, and if it is broken, it must be repaired. I just need to report it to the superiors, and those who buy tiles and cement must have it stamped.

If you do too little at one time, it won’t be worth it. If you do too much, it will be even more troublesome if it is said to be ‘poaching socialist corners’.

Just make do with it and wait until the time comes when it doesn't work anymore.

Du Fei sat down. The water in the pool was rare and crystal clear, and the water temperature was just right. He took a long breath and leaned his head on the edge, feeling comfortable all over his body.

There was no one there in the morning.

Apart from Du Fei, there are a few old Tang Puzi who have retired and really have nothing to do. They just like to stay in the bathhouse, chatting and playing chess. It is warm in winter and has a big tea jar in summer, which makes people sweat. Rinse and rinse inside.

The premise is that the conditions at home are good, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy this kind of freedom and comfort.

After almost soaking in the pool, Du Fei stood up and shouted "Master Zhang".

"Come on~"

Master Zhang responded, and Mali'er walked in, took a basin and scooped out the hot water in the pool, and splashed it onto the leather bed for bathing.

Du Fei handed over the towel, said "Excuse me", and lay down on it.

Master Zhang smiled and wrapped the towel around his hand: "Manager Du, is this the most important thing today?"

Du Fei responded: "The important thing is, I recently went on a business trip to the south and I feel oily all over."

Master Zhang arrived: "No wonder I haven't seen you for a month. I was on a business trip for a long time."

After saying that, I wrapped a towel and started to take a bath.

Master Zhang is a typical Northern style bather. He has developed a muscular body in the bathhouse, and his hands are very strong.

While rubbing each other, the two of them chatted about each other.

"Manager Du, you are always on business trips, so maybe you don't know about the affairs in your hospital?" Master Zhang suddenly mentioned.

Du Fei said "Yes": "What happened?"

I know it's over in the courtyard, but logically there shouldn't be any trouble in the courtyard at the moment.

It turns out that there are always troubles for several reasons: "Qin Huairou has no husband, the first uncle and Xu Daimao have no sons, and Zhu Zhu has no wife. In addition, the old lady and Granny Jia are gone, and the second uncle has also moved to the building. I went there, I really can’t think of any other news.”

Master Zhang said: "You really don't know that the sticks and sticks in your courtyard were fighting with people and almost killed someone!"

Du Fei was stunned, couldn't help but frown, and asked: "Bangbang'er? What's going on with Master Zhang?"

Master Zhang only knew that Du Fei was originally from that courtyard. He didn't know that Du Fei was the stepfather of Bang Gong'er. He said with a smile: "You can't blame Bang Gong'er. I heard that it was two scoundrels who wanted to Bullying his classmates..."

Du Fei immediately guessed that this 'classmate' was Xia Xiaoxue.

If you were an average student, you probably wouldn't have let Bangpole'er hit him so hard.

The matter between Bangguner and Xia Elementary School started as a joke, but now they are inseparable.

Sure enough, after listening to what Master Zhang said, it was pretty much what Du Fei had guessed.

But this matter is no longer news. It has been less than half a month since I hit someone with a stick.

Du Fei had been outside before and had no news.

When Master Zhang mentioned this matter, the real topic of conversation was not that he almost beat someone to death with his stick, but that he admired Qin Huairou's power.

"Manager Du, you guys from the hospital must know Section Chief Qin~" Master Zhang said in surprise: "This lesbian is really amazing, her hands and eyes are all over the sky! Just put aside the awesome thing... Who can't cry and wipe away tears? Someone almost died, so what's the point! Chief Qin just got his son out the next day, and then turned around and sent the two scoundrels into the fence..."

Du Fei listened and responded, but felt a little weird in his heart.

I never thought that one day, Qin Huairou would become a legend in other people's mouths.

At least Master Zhang, who spoke like Section Chief Qin, was quite impressed by that tone.

Du Fei didn't know about this matter from beginning to end. Qin Huairou solved it entirely by himself.

This made Du Fei secretly lament that things are different and people are different.

He has really changed a lot in the five years since he traveled through time.

From the fate of each family in the courtyard to the general trend at the higher level.

Thinking of this, Du Fei couldn't help but smile as he lay on the leather bed taking a bath...

An hour later, Du Fei came out of the bathhouse refreshed.

There was no rush to find Qin Huairou. Anyway, everything was over and there was nothing wrong with Bang Banger.

Du Fei estimated that Qin Huairou should have gone to Niu Wentao, and it was not necessary to go to Wang Dacheng for this matter.

Then we came to the department store at the entrance of the alley. There was a public phone inside.

It was placed in a wooden box with the words 'People's Telephone' spray-painted on it.

This is a characteristic of this era. There is a lock on the wooden box. If you want to call, you have to pay to open the box.

There is no need to answer the phone, the receiver is exposed and can be picked up at any time.

The aunties in the department stores are the telephone operators. There are several alleys nearby. No matter who you are looking for, just go and call.

"Comrade, make a call~"

Du Fei walked in and pointed at the phone with a smile.

The aunt behind the counter looked at him. There weren't many people calling the public phone at this time. Most of them were people who were well-known in the workplace.

The aunt reminded her, "There is a charge." Then she took out the key chain from her waist and opened the lock on the wooden box.

Du Fei nodded, picked up the phone and dialed the number in a familiar manner.

First, he called Wang Yufen and told her that he was back and wanted to go to her place.

When Wang Yufen heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly asked for leave from her work unit.

After Du Fei made the call, he immediately dialed another number.

There were a few beeps over there, and someone answered: "Hey, Fire Equipment Company, who are you looking for?"

Du Fei recognized that it was Luo Yun from Finance, and said in a slightly lower voice: "Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Comrade Yu Jiajia."

Du Fei was not heard over there, but a faint voice came: "Sister Jia, the person who is looking for you is a man."

The last sentence 'it's a man' was obviously a bit teasing.

After all, Yu Jiajia, a little widow, suddenly had a man calling her, which is quite reminiscent of something.

It is not difficult to imagine that Yu Jiajia must have glared at Luo Yun on the other end of the phone before he stood up and came to answer the call.

"Hello, I'm Yu Jiajia, who are you?" Yu Jiajia's soft voice came from the phone.

Du Fei said: "Jiajia, it's me. I'm going home now. I have something to ask you."

Yu Jiajia was stunned for a moment, and after hearing Du Fei's voice, she immediately nodded in agreement and put down the phone.

Luo Yun asked from the side: "Sister Jia, who is it?"

Yu Jiajia lied as if nothing had happened: "It's from the bank."

After saying that, he stood up and went to the office inside to find Zheng Qingchun: "Director, there is something wrong with the bank. I'll go over and take a look."

Recently, the fire equipment company is merging several new factories to form an industrial production complex, and the finance side has a lot of work to do with banks.

Yu Jiajia is in charge of this matter.

Zheng Qingchun didn't take it seriously, nodded and said, "Go ahead and contact your family if anything happens."

Yu Jiajia nodded, came out of the office, and couldn't help but look behind the yard.

In the inner courtyard, Julie's original office now has a new owner.

When Du Fei came back, he didn't come directly to the work unit, but called her back, presumably because of this.

Yu Jiajia withdrew her gaze, went to get her car from under the porch, pushed it out of the gate and rode to Nanluogu Lane.

As soon as I arrived outside my house, I happened to meet Wang Yufen face to face.

Wang Yufen was stunned: "Jiajia, you... why are you back?"

Yu Jiajia blushed, knowing that Du Fei had just come back and reunited with Wang Yufen after a long separation, so she would definitely do that. She subconsciously tightened her legs and quickly told her that it was Du Fei who asked her to come back.

Wang Yufen was surprised and immediately confused.

What does Du Fei mean by calling Yu Jiajia back? Do you want them to serve him together?

Although Wang Yufen is not particularly repelled in her heart, after all, she positions herself as an outsider with no name or status.

But this was too sudden.

Yu Jiajia guessed that Wang Yufen was thinking wrongly, so she quickly added: "Sister Yufen, our unit has changed a lot recently. Secretary Shen has come..."

Wang Yufen was not stupid. She knew that she had made a mistake. She couldn't help but blush, laughed dryly, and covered it up.

When the two of them walked through the alley and returned to the courtyard, Du Fei and Zheng were teasing Xiao Wu inside.

Ci Xin was released by him just now and went back to the water tower in Lumicang Alley.

The renovation work there has been completed long ago, and Ding Sitian has already moved in.

However, the room prepared for Ma Dongmei will probably be in vain.

Based on the current situation, Ma Dongmei is likely to stay in Kalimantan for a long time.

If the Ma family really wanted to open a church there and move there in large numbers, it would be even less likely that Ma Dongmei would come back.

Du Fei sat on the mazaar in the courtyard, looked up at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You're back~"

Wang Yufen said "hmm", and Yu Jiajia didn't go out of her way, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and Du Fei's eyes were full of unconcealable love.

Yu Jiajia was a little embarrassed. If possible, she would never want to be a light bulb, even if she was asked to go back to the room to plate the rolling pin.

But it was helpless. Since Du Fei called her to come back, he just wanted to know the situation of the unit as soon as possible. She did not dare to delay the business in any case.

"Manager~" Yu Jiajia called.

Du Fei pointed to Mazar next to him and motioned for her to sit down, and then said to Wang Yufen: "Boil me a pot of water. I just came out of the bathhouse and my mouth is dry..."

Wang Yufen said "Hey" and went to work.

Du Fei took out some things from the bag beside him, which he brought back to his eldest daughter and granddaughter from Xiangjiang Teacher Wang.

There is a letter, a few pieces of good cloth, chocolate biscuits, milk powder, dried fruits for the children...

Yu Jiajia collected the things and thanked Du Fei. She didn't bother to read the letter and asked, "My mother and little sister, are they fine over there?"

Du Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lao Chen treats them well."

Yu Jiajia said "hmm", knowing what Du Fei really cared about, so she didn't ask any more questions and said instead: "Manager, you know that Secretary Shen has already arrived~"

Du Fei nodded: "You have seen him, what do you think of this person?"

Yu Jiajia considered it and said: "It feels quite friendly and not overbearing as expected. He is a top student at Northeastern University of Finance and Economics and is very professional in finance. Our Director Zheng said that Secretary Shen's financial ability is not inferior to his."

Du Fei didn't expect that Shen Jianing still had this brush.

But think about it, if he was really a idiot, no matter how tough his background was, he wouldn't be able to get in here.

Shen Jianing came to Du Fei not to enjoy retirement, but to compete for a place in the future fire equipment company.

"What else?" Du Fei continued to ask.

Yu Jiajia thought for a while and looked at Du Fei, hesitant to speak.

Du Fei frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

Just at this moment, Wang Yufen came out of the kitchen, holding a kettle in her hand.

Normally, boiling a pot of water would not be that fast. In order to make Du Fei wait a little longer, she poured out the hot water from the thermos bottle and put it on the stove to boil again.

Only then did he take it out so quickly and make tea for Du Fei.

Yu Jiajia glanced at Wang Yufen with a strange expression and whispered: "That... Secretary Shen is still... very beautiful."

Du Fei was stunned, he didn't expect that Yu Jiajia would say this.

Immediately he realized that Yu Jiajia was reminding him not to fall into the 'beauty trap'.

I was speechless for a while, but also a little curious about how beautiful Shen Jianing could be. As for Yu Jiajia specifically emphasizing her beauty.

But he didn't ask much. Anyway, he would see her at work tomorrow.

Then he asked, "Who has she been in contact with during the past few days since she's been here?"

This is what Du Fei is most concerned about. To put it bluntly, struggle means killing more of your own people and killing fewer of the enemy's people.

But there must be a premise, that is, it must be clear who is one's own and who is the enemy's.

With the arrival of Shen Jianing and the addition of at least three factories, the personnel relations of fire equipment companies will become very complicated in the future.
