Chapter 232 Taking the Train Ning Weidong said to Bai Fengyu: "Sister Bai, you know the situation here. After returning from Sulian this time, I will probably move..." When Bai Fengyu heard this, her movements suddenly froze. Although she had guessed long ago that Ning Weidong would not stay in the courtyard for too long. In an environment like that of a slum, no one, no matter how capable, would want to live here. Even though Ning Weidong's house is the best in the compound, it's still just an average level, like a general among short guys. But Bai Fengyu still felt a little disappointed after hearing this, then she calmly said: "It's better to leave. You are a real dragon in the sky, why would you stay here forever?" Some abilities are innate. Bai Fengyu said that Ning Weidong was a real dragon, with admiration in her eyes and her emotions were extremely sincere. Even though Ning Weidong knew in his heart that there was no real dragon, he enjoyed listening to Bai Fengyu's words. Ning Weidong couldn't help but feel a little pity when he saw her lower her head after she finished speaking. He reached out and hugged her, grinning and saying, "Can't bear to leave me?"

Bai Fengyu was like a cat, with her hands on the man's chest, and she turned her face to the side weakly, saying pitifully: "So what if I'm reluctant, you are destined to soar into the sky." Ning Weidong is tall, and from this angle he can just see her snow-white neck, with the fluff and messy hair clearly visible. He chuckled and blew into her ear. Bai Fengyu shuddered, lowered her head and whispered, "Stop making trouble, let me lean on you for a while." There was resentment in her tone, as if Ning Weidong didn't want her anymore after today. Instead, Ning Weidong was in a state of confusion, and he patted her butt with both hands: "What are you thinking about~ Just listen to half of what I say and don't wait for me to finish." Bai Fengyu was slapped with a "pa" sound and suddenly raised her head, not understanding what Ning Weidong could say. Ning Weidong didn't keep the secret this time and continued, "I mean, when I move out, I'll use our house and yours, plus some money, to buy you a bigger one with its own door and yard, so I don't have to worry about you in the future." Bai Fengyu couldn't help but widen her eyes, wondering if she had heard it wrong. Then her cheeks turned slightly red. Ning Weidong had moved away, and it was hard to say whether she could maintain her relationship with Ning Weidong in the future. Although Bai Fengyu is naturally beautiful, she has no confidence in relationships between men and women, otherwise why would Ma Liang run away? Now Ning Weidong is moving away again, which makes her feel very anxious. I didn't expect Ning Weidong to mean this. My mood was up and down, but I couldn't control it and tears welled up in my eyes. "Why are you still crying~" Ning Weidong was stunned by her. Bai Fengyu clenched her fist and punched his chest: "You are such a heartless person, you can only tease me! I...I thought you didn't want me anymore." "How could that be possible~" Ning Weidong hugged her tighter: "How could I bear to do that." Bai Fengyu breathed a sigh of relief and her mood improved. She was very happy that Ning Weidong had this idea, but she was still a little worried: "These two rooms are left by your parents. You want to move them out. Will Brother Weiguo agree?" Ning Weidong said, "Why would you disagree with this? I don't have a house of my own and my family is ruined, so my elder brother doesn't agree. But I'm moving to a better house and selling the old one, so why would you disagree with this?"

Bai Fengyu nodded, that made sense. Ning Weidong added: "Besides, even if they don't agree, just keep these two houses. At most, I will give you a new one if you spend a little more money." Bai Fengyu felt sweet in her heart, but was also worried if it would be too troublesome. Ning Weidong waved his hand and said, "No trouble. By the way, do you prefer a building or a bungalow?" Bai Fengyu was surprised and asked, "Is there still a choice?" Ning Weidong said: "Of course, the house I change for you will be whatever you like." Bai Fengyu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'd better live in a bungalow. Buildings are good, but they're too small, like a pigeon cage, and there's not even a yard." Ning Weidong nodded and did not persuade him. I was originally listening to Bai Fengyu's opinion. If she likes a bungalow, then we have a bungalow. He immediately said, "Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye out and buy it if there's anything suitable." Bai Fengyu said "hmm" and added: "Don't be too far away from you. Even if you don't come, I feel at ease knowing you are nearby." Even Ning Weidong couldn't help but feel touched when he heard this. What does it mean to be naturally charming? Not having a seductive look, twisting your waist and showing off your body, those are all low-level and the most basic. The truly amazing ones are people like Bai Fengyu, who can speak to people's hearts. The same words, when said by some people, will make people feel too fake. But when Bai Fengyu said it, it sounded so sincere and not offensive at all. …… The next day, Ning Weidong was still making intensive preparations. In the office, Lu Zhou placed a brown leather suitcase on Ning Weidong's desk. When leaving Red Star Factory, Ning Weidong proposed to take Lu Zhou with him. After some consideration, Lu Zhou finally chose to come here, but unlike Ning Wei and Liu Dong, he was a cadre, so it was not so convenient for him to be transferred. It was only the day before yesterday that I was officially transferred here. Ning Weidong took the small suitcase, opened it and checked it, and said to Lu Zhou: "Old Lu, I'm going to be away this time, you take care of the house for me." Lu Zhou said: "Manager, don't worry." Ning Weidong said: "Especially at the winery, the progress cannot be delayed. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, go to Ruyi." Lu Zhou's expressionless face did not change at all, and he nodded in agreement. Ning Weidong added, "There is also the matter of moving. The new office building will be almost ready in the next two days. You don't have to wait for me to come back. You can move directly. I have already arranged with Jiang Biyun how to arrange the office. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss and solve them together."

Lu Zhou nodded again. Ning Weidong said: "Also, after the move, transfer the workers over there to renovate this courtyard..." Ning Weidong assigned the tasks one by one. After Lu Zhou left, he called Wang Kaixuan over. "Fatty, since Old Hu is going out with me this time, you are the only one left to take charge of the winery." Ning Weidong pulled Wang Kaixuan to sit on the sofa: "You must not let me down." Wang Kaixuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry about that. I've already packed my luggage. I'll be staying and eating at the winery from today on. If there's any problem, you can ask me." Ning Weidong liked Wang Kaixuan's straightforwardness and patted him on the shoulder. Wang Kaixuan is a man who will die for his friend. Last time, Ning Weidong gave the newly acquired Crown car to him and Hu Bayi. He must live up to this favor. Wang Kaixuan added: "A lot of equipment has arrived at the winery. It will be installed in about five or six days, and will be put into trial operation within half a month. In addition, more than 40 buyers have been recruited and have been sent out to purchase raw wine from the surrounding areas..." Blah blah blah, he knows them all like the back of his hand. Wang Kaixuan knows the situation at the winery very well. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Work hard. Once the winery is ready, with this experience, there will be more important tasks soon." Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up. He has tasted the sweetness of running this winery this time. This is why it is said that a young man cannot live without money, and a real man cannot live without power. It feels so good to have power in your hands. He is different from Hu Bayi. Hu Bayi used to be a soldier and even served as a company commander. He had hundreds of soldiers under his command and none of them dared to disobey his orders. Wang Kaixuan has been staying in Greater Khingan Range since he became an adult, and now he has tasted the sweetness. After Wang Kaixuan left, Jiang Biyun came again. After this period of time, Ning Weidong liked Jiang Biyun more and more. This kind of liking is not between men and women, but between homosexuals and subordinates. Jiang Biyun is very thoughtful in her work, has a strong learning ability and a quick mind. As the saying goes, two people who sleep in the same bed can be different. The fact that Jiang Biyun and Zheng Tong can get together shows that they both recognize each other's intelligence. Ning Weidong did not go to the sofa with Jiang Biyun. After all, there are differences between men and women, and they have to avoid suspicion. Across the desk, he asked, "How's your study with the new finance guy going?" A few days ago, the financial officer sent by the department finally arrived. She was a female comrade in her early forties. As an enterprise under the ministry, it is not uncommon to send financial personnel, not to mention that there are tens of millions of dollars lying in the account of Dongyi Company, and this money must not be handled unnecessarily. Jiang Biyun said: "Sister Liu is a very nice person. She has been taking care of me these past few days."

Ning Weidong nodded: "Since we have this opportunity, I will learn from you and take charge of the finance business in the future." Jiang Biyun's eyes lit up. Before, Ning Weidong asked her to be in charge of finance. She always felt that it was a temporary measure and she would be replaced when a suitable candidate was found in the future. Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong intended to let her continue doing this. This caused some changes in Jiang Biyun's mind. In the beginning, she started working for Ning Weidong because of Zheng Tong, and she was just a bonus. But at this moment, her identity changed. If Ning Weidong really intended to train her in finance, her identity would change. This job went from being a bonus to becoming her personal career. Ten minutes later, Jiang Biyun left the office with mixed feelings. Ning Weidong sorted out everything he had thought of, and finally picked up the small suitcase that Lu Zhou had just given him. With a "click", both hands pushed at the same time to open the two spring locks, and the small leather suitcase was lined with black silk. Below is a velvet base. Reach out and gently peel it open from the edge, and you will find a secret compartment underneath the velvet base. Ning Weidong stood up, went to the lounge in the east, opened the safe and took out five gold bars. Go back to the office and put it in the secret compartment of the small box. I don’t know what I’ll encounter on this trip to Sulian, so I have to make some preparations. They had some authority as foreign teachers this time, so they were not worried about being searched or anything like that. After putting the gold bars away, he also put some necessary documents, the letter given to him by Director Zhang, and the medal as a token of his honor into the box. There was also a letter from Natasha to her father, some photos, hand-knitted gloves, and a very exquisite Hero brand pen. In fact, the gloves and pen were prepared by Ning Weidong, but he asked Natasha to mention them in the letter. After preparing these and locking the box, Ning Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. All that needs to be prepared is ready, except for leaving by train tomorrow. In the evening, Zhao Ruyu and I went back to Zhao's father's place and had dinner together. Zhao's father gave us some more instructions. After finishing the work, Ning Weidong came out alone and sat with Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen for a while. Ning Weiguo and his wife also gave many instructions, and Wang Yuzhen also prepared a lot of food, clothing and daily necessities in advance for Ning Weidong to take with him on the road. It was not until after nine o'clock that Ning Weidong came out, but he did not go back to the slum to live, but went straight back to the company. For the train tomorrow morning, we are scheduled to gather at the company and go to the train station on one train. Ning Weidong just wanted to save trouble, but he didn't expect that as soon as he drove to the entrance of the alley, he saw An Ning's Luofu car parked on the side of the road. Ning Weidong parked the car beside him, turned off the engine and opened the door.

Almost at the same time, An Ning also came out of the car. The two walked together, Ning Weidong was a little surprised: "You're still out so late~" The temperature is not high tonight. An Ning is wearing a single layer of clothing and a windbreaker on the outside. She is not cold in the car, but she cannot feel cold when she comes out. She can't help shivering. Ning Weidong pulled her and said, "Let's talk in the car~" He opened the car door and they both sat in the back seat. Because the car was parked against a wall, the front passenger door was blocked by the wall, so I had no choice but to sit in this way. An Ning followed, closed the car door and said, "You're leaving tomorrow, why can't I come and see you?" Ning Weidong smiled, put his arm around the back of her head, leaned forward and kissed her: "Of course you can come." An Ning snorted and whispered, "Be careful when you go out. I heard that the Russians are very stubborn. Don't force yourself when encountering problems. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him." Ning Weidong smiled. Why were you telling him this? It made him seem like a reckless young man. The two talked for a while, and nothing happened in the car. After all, this era is not the future, and it is too dangerous to be in the car. You may meet some kind-hearted old lady who notices the car vibrating back and forth and comes to check the situation. Besides, Ning Weidong wasn’t that hungry to have that exciting experience. Only after watching An Ning drive away did Ning Weidong turn back to the company, say hello to Uncle Zheng at the doorman, go back to the lounge in the inner courtyard office, take a hot bath, go to bed early, and prepare to leave. …… The next day, Ning Weidong had a good night's sleep and woke up at seven in the morning. Without any delay, he got up and washed his face and brushed his teeth. Ning Wei and Hu Bayi also arrived early, each carrying a suitcase. Ning Wei probably didn't sleep well, his eyes are a little puffy. It’s not surprising. She is not even twenty years old yet and is going to a foreign country. Anyone would suffer from insomnia because she is excited but also afraid of the unknown. In comparison, Hu Bayi was much more calm. He had already been abroad once, but that time he went to the south, and this time he went to the north. Ning Weidong looked at his watch and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" Ning Wei and Hu Bayi both nodded. Ning Weidong said, "Then I won't care about you two." After that, he went straight to the cafeteria in the front yard. The cafeteria generally doesn't serve breakfast, but Ning Weidong told him yesterday that they wanted to eat here this morning. Qin Huairu came early and bought freshly fried dough sticks and hot tofu pudding at the street corner. Ning Weidong thanked him, ate his meal in a hurry, and then went to the inner courtyard to wait for a while. It was around eight o'clock, and everyone who worked there had arrived, including the people from the Foreign Teaching Department. There were two people accompanying him this time, one of whom was Wang Ye, whom Ning Weidong had met before, and she was also the only female comrade. The other was a medium-built, well-mannered translator named Li Peizhong.

"Comrade Wang Ye, Comrade Li Peizhong, hello." After the introduction, Ning Weidong shook hands with the two. Although Ning Weidong's Russian has improved to a higher level after this period of intensive study and direct communication is no longer a problem, Li Peizhong as a translator is still indispensable. In some occasions, negotiations, communication and necessary record keeping are all done by him. Li Peizhong was quite polite, but Wang Ye looked at Ning Wei and Hu Bayi and asked, "There are only three of you. Are there no female comrades?" Ning Weidong said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have booked two soft sleeper rooms, one for men and one for women." Wang Ye waved her hand and said, "No need. Ge Ming's work does not distinguish between men and women. You let me live alone in a room. Do you think that we women are not as hardworking as men?" Ning Weidong choked and smiled. He meant well. Wang Ye was a female comrade, so it would be more convenient for her to have a separate room. He forgot that this was not the time before he traveled through time. Lesbians in this era are really no worse than men. What men can do, women can do too, and they truly hold up half the sky. Ning Weidong said with a smile: "Comrade Wang Ye, please don't make random accusations." Wang Ye chuckled and his expression changed instantly: "I'm just kidding you. I'm not born in the Year of the Dog. I don't know what's good for me. Thank you, but it's really not necessary. I'm not that pretentious." Ning Weidong didn't expect that Wang Ye, who looked serious, even solemn and stern, had a playful side. But on second thought, if someone is really old-fashioned and inflexible, he won't be able to do Wang Ye's job. After Wang Ye's joke, the atmosphere on both sides relaxed. Ning Weidong asked: "By the way, have you had breakfast?" "I ate before I came here." Wang Ye raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's getting late. Let's go when we're ready. It's better to leave early than late." Ning Weidong naturally had no objection, and the few of them carried their luggage outside. Wang Ye and Li Peizhong came in a Jinbei van, which was white on top and blue on the bottom, quite characteristic of the era. A middle-aged driver in his forties, wearing a front hat, sat in the driver's seat. After putting their luggage away, several people got into the car. The car drove straight to the train station. This was the first time that Ning Weidong took a van at this time. But Jinbei is still quite famous. Before he crossed over, he often heard young people humming on the street, "Iveco, big Jinbei, pretending... pretending..." At that time, Jinbei vans had not yet introduced Japanese technology, and there was a faint smell of engine oil in the car, but it was not too bad. But once it's started, the noise of the engine and the loose chassis are really not commendable. It must be admitted that in this era, there is indeed a big gap in domestic automobile manufacturing. But it’s definitely not that big.

Especially trucks and buses, they have a pretty good foundation. Ning Weidong sat in the big golden cup, smelling the engine oil and his thoughts drifting away unconsciously. Previously he wanted to make instant noodles, and then use the S channel to make electrical appliances, and now he is wondering if he can get involved in the automobile industry. In fact, Ning Weidong knows that one cannot bite off more than one bites off, but there are just too many opportunities in this era. At this time, the industrial foundation that we had worked so hard to build in the first thirty years is still operating in an orderly manner. It was not like ten years later, when it was smashed to pieces and then grafted onto the Western economic system. Although there are various problems, such as excessive military weight, low technical level, and unbalanced structure...it is not without merit. It would be a shame to smash everything in one fell swoop, and the cost would be too high. However, the distance to the train station was not too far. Ning Weidong’s thoughts were in turmoil, and not long after, the car stopped. He gathered his thoughts and got out of the car. After taking the luggage from the car, they all traveled light, with one luggage bag each, plus a small briefcase for Ning Weidong. Ning Wei rushed to help Ning Weidong carry his luggage, one in each hand, and followed behind. Wang Ye came out to get the ticket and letter of introduction, and went straight to the soft sleeper waiting room. In this era, it is not ordinary people who can buy soft sleeper tickets. Generally speaking, only those who have reached a certain level and are on a business trip can buy it with a letter of introduction. Foreigners can buy it. Ning Weidong still remembers that many people used this example to prove the so-called super-national M treatment. Anyone with a discerning eye can understand that kind of secretive little thoughts, it's just an attempt to make a point. But they don’t think about the historical period at that time. In this day and age, even if you allow the sale of tickets freely, will ordinary people buy soft sleeper tickets when they go out? Just like before Ning Weidong traveled through time, business class tickets on the high-speed rail were available for purchase at will, and most people still bought second class seats. The next step is to keep an eye on foreigners and blur the scope of certain foreigners. Foreigners have never been a monolith. Just ask, in the 1970s and 1980s, could ordinary foreigners come? Those who could come to China and were allowed to enter the country had to have some special status. This has little to do with whether they are foreigners or not, but rather their special role. At this time, Ning Weidong did not see any foreigners in the waiting hall, and there were not even many people at all. They were all scattered in the waiting hall. For the 10 o'clock train, since it is the starting station, you can get on the train in advance. The train will stop at about 9:30 and you can get on the soft sleeper. There are still more than ten minutes left when Ning Weidong and his group arrive. We sat down and chatted for a while. After more than ten minutes, a staff member came over to inform us that we could get on the bus. The train stops on the track near the terminal building and there is no need to walk on the plank road.

Come out of the waiting hall, walk along the platform to the sleeper car in front. The conductor checked tickets and let people into the carriages. Ning Weidong and his friends are in boxes one and two. Pushing the door open, the room was clean and tidy inside. There was a red railway logo printed on the white sheets, and a thermos and white porcelain teacups on the small coffee table in the middle. There is a car window that can be opened up and down above the coffee table. In those days, trains did not have air conditioning, and even the soft sleeper cars had windows that could be opened. Ning Weidong put down the suitcase and turned around to say, "Comrade Wang Ye, I don't mean to discriminate against female comrades. If the conditions are really difficult, of course we can treat them equally. But now... we have two private rooms. With the conditions, there is no need to endure hardships. What do you think?" Wang Ye frowned, and waited for Ning Weidong to finish, then said, "You can't say that. There's no need to be so particular when you're out. I'll go with you." He pointed at Hu Bayi and said, "Old Li, go with this comrade." He then pointed at Ning Wei and said, "This young comrade, go with us." Ning Weidong frowned, met Wang Ye's gaze, but said nothing more. Wang Ye's arrangement was obviously intentional. Could it be that this woman had some feelings towards him? But this is obviously impossible, not to mention there is Ning Wei, so this arrangement is appropriate. Seeing that Ning Weidong didn't say anything, the other three people didn't say anything either. Unlike hard sleeper compartments, soft sleeper compartments have doors, and when the doors are closed, they become a small, enclosed room. A few people put their luggage away and didn't rush to close the door because they had to check their tickets later. Ning Weidong and Ning Wei sat on one side, while Wang Ye sat opposite them. She took out a roll of newspaper from her luggage and handed it to Ning Weidong, saying, "This is the Speedlink newspaper you requested last time." Ning Weidong said "hmm" and reached out to take it. The last time he met Wang Ye, Ning Weidong received the task of spying on the deployment in the Far East and Baikal regions, so he raised this condition with Team Leader Xu, hoping that the other party would provide the Sulian newspaper. This kind of original newspaper is rare in the country. The newspapers were all out of date, the earliest one was from June 75, and the latest one was from last week. Ning Weidong picked out one at random and looked at it. Ning Wei also stretched his neck to look, but it was like looking at a ghost painting, and he couldn't recognize a single word. At this time, people started to be let out of the waiting room, and the platform was crowded with people carrying large and small bags, gathering at the door of the rear carriage. After waiting for about ten minutes, there was a sudden "bang" and the train shook. Ning Weidong raised his head and looked out the car window. From outside, there was a sound of platform staff blowing a whistle. Then the train moved slowly. Looking at the scene outside the window, Ning Weidong put away the newspaper. It has been almost a year since he traveled through time. This is his first time taking a train. He was planning to see what it is like outside the capital in this era. As the train left the station, its speed became faster and faster, but in this era, even express trains only ran at 60 to 70 kilometers per hour. It takes more than 20 hours to drive from Beijing to Harbin, which is more than 1,200 kilometers.

Soon the city houses could no longer be seen outside the window. There are few high-rise buildings in this era, and what you see outside the city is a desolate wilderness in autumn. In the distance are the continuous and steep Yanshan Mountains, the mountains undulating as if they are running along with the train. Ning Weidong looked at it for a while and found it boring. Just at this moment, the conductor in white uniform came over and replaced the kettles in each compartment with fresh ones. The conductor girl was quite pretty, about meters tall, wearing a white shirt, blue pants, and a wide leather belt around her waist, giving him a heroic look. Those who can serve as attendants in soft sleeper cars are carefully selected. Ning Weidong was absent-minded. He glanced at the flight attendant and found her pleasing to the eye. Unexpectedly, the flight attendant's eyes wandered over him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Ning Wei, who was standing by, noticed this and asked, "Comrade, what's the matter?" The female flight attendant glanced at him, then looked at Ning Weidong and said, "Comrade, you look familiar to me. Are you from Red Star Middle School?" Ning Weidong was stunned and looked at the flight attendant again. He didn't pay attention to it just now, but now when he searched the original owner's memory, he felt that she looked a little familiar, frowned and said: "Wang~Wang Caixia?" The female flight attendant's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Jiang Weidang! I was wondering if he looked familiar..." Ning Weidong's eyelids drooped instantly, and he was speechless. You say this woman has a good memory, but she directly mixed up the facts. You say her memory is not good, because she recognized the person as an old classmate at a glance. Wang Caixia hadn't noticed yet and asked excitedly, "Jiang Weidang, where are you now? You're on a business trip and you're even sitting in a soft sleeper." Ning Weidong had a strange expression on his face, while Ning Wei next to him lowered his head, pursed his lips, and tried to hold back his laughter. Wang Ye on the opposite side was full of surprise. Ning Weidong coughed lightly and interrupted the other party: "Um, Comrade Wang Caixia, is there a possibility that I am not called Jiang Weidang?" Wang Caixia was stunned and confused. Did she recognize the wrong person? But the other party clearly called her name. Ning Weidong simply introduced himself: "I am Ning Weidong." Wang Caixia looked unconvinced: "Ning Weidong? Are you Ning Weidong?" Then she reacted and said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry~" Ning Weidong didn't hold on to it. After all, they hadn't seen each other for several years, so it was normal to make a mistake. It was not easy for Wang Caixia to feel that he looked familiar at first glance. The original owner knew that Wang Caixia’s family was in the railway business. Those who can send their children on the train and serve as attendants in the soft sleeper car are not ordinary families. Ning Weidong laughed and said, "What's the use of saying sorry? If you don't treat me to two big popsicles, I won't be done."

Wang Caixia eased the embarrassment and said defensively: "You can't blame me for that. How tall were you back then? Looking at you now, who can recognize you? I felt familiar with you just now. I think with his height and physique, he should be Jiang Weidang from the basketball team." Then she said: "By the way, these are all your colleagues~" Wang Ye on the opposite side nodded, and Ning Weidong also responded: "I'm on a business trip for the company." Wang Caixia saw that Wang Ye and Ning Wei were both young and probably not leaders. She was about to say a few more words, but at this moment, the conductor passed by from behind, walked past them, then stepped back and shouted, "Xiao Wang, what are you doing~" Wang Caixia was startled, turned around and laughed dryly: "Well, I saw an old classmate." The conductor glared at him and said, "If you want to talk, wait until you finish your work. You're deserting me right after we start." Wang Caixia responded quickly, winked at Ning Weidong, and quickly retreated. Ning Weidong smiled and thought that the original owner had quite a few classmates. As I was thinking about this, I looked out the window again. I passed by a harvested field and saw a few children shooting sparrows in the trees with slingshots beside the railway. At that time, we were still eliminating the four pests, and sparrows ate food, so they were considered one of the four pests. As it flashed by, I saw in the distance a factory of some unknown origin. There were four large chimneys standing on the building, spewing yellow smoke that rushed up into the sky and was blown away by the wind. Before we knew it, it was noon, and the train announced that we would soon arrive at Shanhaiguan. Wang Caixia showed up once and never appeared again. Ning Weidong has been reading the newspaper. Seeing that it was time for lunch, Ning Wei asked, "Third brother, it's time to eat." Ning Weidong raised his head and checked the time: "It's noon~" He looked at Wang Ye opposite him and said: "Let's go to the dining car and have a bite~" Ning Wei went next door and called Hu Bayi and Li Peizhong. Five people went to the back of the carriage. The dining car is usually located between the sleeper and hard seat cars. From soft sleeper to hard sleeper, and then to dining car, there are five carriages in total. Although it was dinner time, there weren't many people in the dining car. After all, not many people are willing to eat on the train, and most people bring their own dry food. Not to mention now, even before Ning Weidong traveled through time, not many people dared to get on the dining car. There was a table of people wearing flight attendant uniforms, eating together at a table. Ning Weidong took a quick glance and recognized Wang Caixia inside. He didn't go over to talk, but sat at the same table with Ning Wei and others, and ordered four dishes and several bowls of rice. I didn't expect the food on the dining car to be very delicious, I just wanted to keep it warm. Ning Weidong and his friends were eating and chatting at the same time. Because of the presence of Wang Ye and the other two, some things were difficult to talk about. Just then, Wang Caixia finished eating and stood up with her lunch box. She saw Ning Weidong and immediately came over with a smile: "Ning Weidong, I was looking for you."

Ning Weidong responded and pointed to the remaining seat next to him, indicating that she should sit down. Wang Caixia was straightforward and unceremonious. She sat down and said, "By the way, Li Ming came to me a few days ago and wanted to organize a class reunion. You can come too~" Ning Weidong thought about it for a moment and remembered that Li Ming was their squad leader. Since he is organizing a class reunion, he must be doing well. Whether it is now or before Ning Weidong traveled through time, class reunions after adulthood have never been simple. After achieving some success, showing off to former classmates is secondary. It is more about seeing if the former classmates have any potential, sharing what they have and resources. Ning Weidong said with a smile: "This is great news. We haven't seen each other for several years since graduation. Have you decided on a date?" Although he said this, Ning Weidong actually had no intention of going. He would let Duan Ming and Yu Hongmei go and take a look. If there was anyone worth interacting with, they could contact them individually later. There was no need to waste time on such social activities. No matter what you think, there is no need to reject Wang Caixia directly and make everyone embarrassed. Wang Caixia said, "That hasn't been decided yet. I'll let you know later. By the way, where are you now? Can I call your workplace?" Ning Weidong said, "Yu Hongmei and I work in the same unit. You can just find her and ask her to notify me." As far as I can remember, Wang Caixia and Yu Hongmei had a good relationship. Sure enough, Wang Caixia said, "Okay, her home is not far from mine. I don't know when she started working. When we met last month, she was still at home~" Ning Weidong said: "She has only been here for more than a month." After the matter was settled, Wang Caixia didn't say any more, after all, Ning Weidong still had colleagues. After returning from the dining car, Wang Ye said to Ning Wei: "Comrade Ning Wei, please go sit next door first." Ning Wei looked at Ning Weidong, he only listened to Ning Weidong's words. Ning Weidong nodded. Ning Wei stood up and walked out expressionlessly. The door closed, Ning Weidong looked at Wang Ye and asked, "What's the matter?" Wang Ye bent down and pulled out the suitcase from under the bed, opened it, took out a file bag and handed it to Ning Weidong: "Take a look." Ning Weidong tightened his lips and opened the file bag. After glancing at the first page, he frowned and looked up, "Is this something appropriate for me to see?" Wang Ye said: "This is the decision of the leader. I am only responsible for giving you the information." Ning Weidong's eyes fell on the information in front of him again. This was a summary of the intelligence currently available on the Far East and Baikal regions of Sulian. Wang Ye continued: "The task assigned to you is not too difficult." Ning Weidong picked up the information in front of him and said, "Is this considered early stage support?" Wang Ye nodded: "This time we are asking you to go, not to create something from scratch, but to revise the intelligence we currently have."

Ning Weidong understood what she meant. She gave him the information that the country already had. All Ning Weidong had to do was to make some repairs on this basis. Suddenly I understood why Mr. Zhao didn't object. Ning Weidong asked: "How do you pass the test?" Wang Ye said: "It doesn't matter if you pass or not." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. In other words, there was no expectation, so there was naturally no disappointment. Ning Weidong did not argue. There was no point in arguing. The right and wrong, success or failure would always depend on the final result. Then he looked at the information in front of him very carefully. The information Wang Ye took out was not much, just fourteen pages in total with text and tables. Ning Weidong concentrated very hard and it took him more than an hour to read it twice. Then he put down the documents and looked out the window. Just at this moment, a voice was broadcast: The next stop is Jinzhou Station, and we will stop for fifteen minutes... Ning Weidong was slightly surprised. They arrived in Jinzhou so soon? The original owner had a very deep impression of Jinzhou in his memory. When he went to the countryside, he lived in the orchard farm in the south of Jinzhou City. Compared with the Greater Khingan Range where Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi went, the youth point assigned to Ning Weidong was considered quite good. The biggest advantage is that it is close to the city. It is only twenty miles from the farm to the city. The conditions are also good. The farm mainly grows apples, and the grains are corn and sorghum. The yields are good and there is never a shortage of food. Ning Weidong gathered his memories and looked at his watch. It was almost three o'clock. Before I knew it, the train had been running for more than six hours. Following the broadcast, I saw densely packed bungalows appearing outside the window, many buildings in the distance, and a towering ancient tower. Although it may seem inconspicuous at first glance, Jinzhou is still a well-known economic powerhouse in the country in this era, ranking around 30 in the economy, surpassing many provincial capitals. When revisiting the old place, many memories of the original owner involuntarily emerged in Ning Weidong's mind. After a while, the train shook, began to slow down significantly, and drove into the platform. Ning Weidong put the information down and said to Wang Ye, "I'm going downstairs to smoke a cigarette." Wang Ye responded. Ning Weidong got up and went out, called out to the next room, and Hu Bayi and Ning Wei followed him out immediately. Li Peizhong said he doesn't smoke, so he won't go. Ning Weidong didn't care and took the two of them to the connection between the two carriages. Wang Caixia is already here, ready to open the door.

Seeing Ning Weidong, he asked, "Go down and get some fresh air?" Ning Weidong raised the cigarette in his hand. At this moment, there was a bang, the train shook violently and stopped completely. Wang Caixia opened the car door swiftly and went down the stairs to sell food. Ning Weidong followed. Wang Caixia was being ridiculous because there was hardly anyone getting on or off the soft sleeper bus, while the hard seats at the other end were crowded with people waiting to get on. Ning Weidong handed a cigarette to Hu Bayi and Ning Wei respectively. Hu Bayi immediately took out a lighter, lit it for Ning Weidong first, and then for Ning Wei. Ning Weidong took a puff of his cigarette and pointed to a pavilion not far away: "There are people buying things over there." As far as the original owner could remember, he had been to this train station several times. Parking for fifteen minutes is plenty of time. There are many kiosks where people can get off the bus to take a walk, look around, and buy something. Ning Weidong came up to them and, unlike the others who hesitated, he stretched his neck and asked the person in the window, "When was the Goubangzi smoked chicken made?" Inside was a woman in her thirties, who was counting the money she had collected. She said without even turning her head, "It just arrived this morning." Ning Weidong asked again: "Where are the pig's trotters?" The woman finally looked up and rolled her eyes: "Today too." Ning Weidong said: "Big sister, give me two roast chickens and five pig's trotters." It's rare for a salesperson to be so happy to buy things. Two roast chickens and five pig's trotters are not cheap. Ning Weidong asked again: "Are there any apples?" The salesperson said, "No, it's not that time yet. It will take more than 20 days for the apples to come down." Ning Weidong asked casually, but he was not disappointed. (End of this chapter)
