Chapter 345 The windy scenery on the top of the mountain
(5000 words.)
On the way back, Zhao Jiadi silently recited the two sentences "From ancient times to the present, the common people are the most ignorant. The common people are the most unashamed." After having breakfast together, everyone took a walk as a habit. Of course, Zhao Jiadi followed the large army without exception, but He pulled Qi Shugen and asked secretly, besides us, who else lives in Tianmu Mountain? Qi Shugen didn't know why, but he said a lot. There are rich and powerful people. Tianmu Mountain is actually quite big, but it is divided into separate areas. Many of them have never interacted with each other. Zhao Jiadi asked if there was anyone more special? Qi Shugen shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. My dad doesn't like coming to Tianmu Mountain very much. At least I didn't hear him say there was any ulterior secret. Why, who did you see?" Zhao Jiadi fell into silence. Huang Ying, who couldn't rest, saw the two of them whispering and came to interrupt, asking what they were talking about. In the end, both of them ignored them. Qi Shugen seemed to remember something and intentionally or unintentionally avoided the young woman whom Ma Xiaotiao often mentioned. Huang Ying whispered softly. Her family also had a house in Tianmu Mountain. There was an old man in the family who was a highly respected antique from the Xiling Seal Society. Be careful, don't provoke overwhelming verbal criticism when the time comes. Zhao Jiadi thought for a while. The man on the top of the mountain was obviously not the elder of the young woman Pei. Although half of the elder's immortal spirit was indeed filled with poems and books, it was not limited to the category of literati. Zhao Jiadi's curiosity There is no utilitarianism, but in this cool and cool place, it is really novel to meet an old man who has emerged from the dust. When I was a child, I read martial arts books. Which boy didn't dream of living with the world even if he didn't have the best secret book to give away? Can the foreigner say a few words? The walk was slow, the ladies of the government were chatting and laughing, but on the way they met another group of wealthy and idle people who came to Tianmu Mountain to escape the summer heat. Qi Shugen burst into laughter and looked weird. Zhao Jiadi almost went crazy. Who is Pei if that woman is not a young woman? ? She took a leisurely stroll with an elder, saw the officials' wives, and said hello to a few acquaintances. She didn't look away when she passed Zhao Jiadi. Her acting skills were so perfect that she couldn't wait for Zhao Jiadi to do so. Jia Di was heartbroken. His cell phone vibrated in his pocket. When he took it out, he knew it was not a good thing. The young woman Pei sent a text message: Mr. Pei, we are on a narrow road. Don¡¯t miss it when you pass by. Do you want to have a wild battle with your wife for eight hundred rounds? Zhao Jiadi came to distance himself slightly from the rest of the team and replied: You should be more serious these days. You have to work hard in Hangzhou for two or three years. The future is long! The young woman Pei replied: The good days are long. Zhao Jiadi smiled knowingly. Huang Ying, who was walking in front and turned around to see this scene, frowned. She felt that Zhao Jiadi's smile was very serious. Could he be peeking at her butt? Huang Ying blushed, Qi Shugen wondered what was going on? Huang Ying's acting skills were far inferior to those of the young woman Pei. She pretended to be calm and asked, "Who was that sister just now?" It¡¯s so refreshing and has a unique aura. I wish I could look like that in the future! Qi Shugen snickered in his heart, it would be terrible if you really became Pei Luoshen, the most beautiful woman in Hangzhou. Wouldn't you become the dish of that boy Zhao Jiadi? Thinking of this, Qi Shugen was a little worried. The circle in Hangzhou was only so big. Once Zhao Jiadi was involved in the young woman Pei, even if there were people on death row, the young woman Pei's family had a long history and her husband's family had a better background. Zhao Jiadi must have worked hard to make a fortune in Hangzhou. If you want to lose most of it, you have to have a good talk with Zhao Jiadi about this matter. This is the duty of being a friend.
At noon, two guests came. The first one was Huang Ying's best friend Li Qinghu. The look in Zhao Jiadi's eyes was very connotative, which made Zhao Jiadi feel hair on his back. After the blind date, the truth came out. This crazy girl had to be called Li Zhijin. Called aunt, it was Li Zhijin who borrowed Li Qinghu's unique car with dual license plates from her. In the future, this little green insect with long thorns is expected to call Zhao Jia uncle for the first time? When Zhao Jia first thought of this, he felt depressed, sad, and hurt his lungs. Sure enough, when he met Zhao Jiadi in private, Li Qinghu Jiao Didi greeted him and said, "Future uncle, people are in high spirits when happy events happen. The more I look at you, the more beautiful I look like a tree in the wind." Zhao Jiadi said angrily that the car had been fished out of the Huangpu River, but don't expect to accompany you to jump into the Qiantang River. Li Qinghu said charmingly with hidden murderous intent, how can I? My aunt will teach me a lesson. It is the most terrifying thing for my aunt to teach people seriously, but I don't dare. Zhao Jiadi was not afraid of Li Qinghu going crazy, but he was afraid that she would be a prude. He didn't know how to deal with it. Han Daode, who was on the back foot of Tianmu Mountain, came to the rescue. This guy was originally caught in the eyes of Zhao Taizu, and he was given a high position of real power. Compared with Zhao Jia The uncles in the group were all high or low, but Han Goulei said that he didn't have that ability, at least not for the time being. He still wanted to run errands with the eldest young master and do some small things. Zhao Taizu, who had always been honest, didn't have any embarrassment and agreed. This guy came to Hangzhou not long after he was discharged from the hospital. Zhao Jiadi scolded him on the phone. However, Han Dede accepted the lesson humbly, but he was determined to come to Hangzhou. As soon as he arrived, he was beaten by Zhao Jiadi. He went to get some Zhejiang local chronicles that he could get. "Kanyu Zazhu" and "Dongyuan Collection" were too rare. Han Daode couldn't find the books. He just found some scattered fragments, printed them out, and gave them to Zhao Jiadi. Peipianpian was brought over. When Zhao Jiadi saw this old man, he couldn't help but scolded him: If you don't do a good job with a gold collar, look at your future! Han Daode found a legitimate excuse for himself: "Xu Zhenhong was working as a driver for Zhao Taizu back then. I will be a driver with the eldest young master, and it will be the same in the future."Yes, right? "
Zhao Jiadi laughed angrily and said: "That's because he is willing to take advantage of it. When he was a driver, he not only served Zhao Sanjin, but also managed all the connections he could come into contact with in the Zhao family. That's how he got where he is today. Let's take a look. You? Apart from me, who have you been close to?"
The stooped Han Daode said with a smile: "It's not good to have some skills and do some things."
Zhao Jiadi lost a cigarette and saw him clamping it on his ear. He almost wanted to put it away again. He became angry and said, "Smoke it right away."
Han Daode hesitated for a moment, then stood beside the car and smoked with Zhao Jiadi. Zhao Jiadi, who was holding a large amount of information, asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Han Daode immediately said: "I've eaten."
Zhao Jiadi asked doubtfully: "Have you really eaten it?"
Han Daode nodded and said: "Really!"
Zhao Jiadi couldn't tell the authenticity, so he could only say: "Then go in and sit down and drink tea."
Han Daode said: "Young master, I won't go in. A bunch of officials and wives, I look like this, am I embarrassing you?"
Zhao Jiadi smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense to me!"
Han Daode said with a bitter face: "I really don't want to go."
Zhao Jiadi was helpless, shook his head and walked to the house alone.
Han Daode waited until Zhao Jiadi had gone far, then got in the car, slowly finished his cigarette, and then went down the mountain.
The wind and scenery on the top of the mountain are very spectacular, but those are the scenery that only a young master should have.
Han Daode is not greedy for these things.
He knows how to be content.
In the courtyard on the top of the mountain, Zhao Jiadi was pulled by several official wives to play Hangzhou Mahjong. Zhao Jiadi was a beginner, but his playing was not like a novice who had just become familiar with the game. The aunts were all happy to play with him. The young men discussed each other. The husband of the aunt sitting on the left side of Zhao Jiadi is the third in command of the Department of Science and Technology. The husband of the aunt on the right side is the leader of the Audit Department. The husband of the aunt with outstanding temperament opposite is the head of the Agency Affairs Bureau. They are all departments. Wives of bureau-level cadres, of course they can make money by playing mahjong, but they don¡¯t play much. They just want to gamble for fun. No matter how bad their luck is, they will lose four to five thousand yuan in one afternoon, which is ten points away from breaking their bones. On the street, Zhao Jiadi played mahjong with his aunts. His playing skills were average, but he didn't get confused when playing cards. At the same time, he was not too shrewd and sophisticated. He probably counted the money and won the same amount. He took it when he won and gave it when he lost. He was not deliberate. Therefore, the ladies of the government admired this young man's cards very much. If they were to show off deliberately, they would be too inferior. Among the three people here and the two people who were not here, for example, the two people standing behind Zhao Jiadi and looking at the cards, who didn't have a sharp eye? Zhao Jiadi is playing mahjong here, while Qi Shugen and Huang Ying, Li Qinghu, and several young men and women who accompanied their mother to Tianmu Mountain for summer vacation play a killing game together. In fact, Qi Shugen knows the details about Li Qinghu better than Huang Ying. This is because his father and Xu Because of the earthquake, but for Qi Shugen, who has always had low ambitions, the good relationship cultivated by his parents can be maintained as it is for his children. There is no need to add anything to it without destroying it. Qi Shugen sees it I admire Zhao Jiadi for not being arrogant or impetuous among the aunties there. This guy is really not afraid of wherever he goes.
The aunt sitting opposite Zhao Jiadi won the game and made a few hundred yuan. She asked with a smile: "Jiadi, how do you get to the Infrastructure Comprehensive Office of the National Development and Reform Commission? How about changing positions and coming to work for your Uncle Chu? Does he eat every day? As a rule, when you go, just help Auntie keep an eye on it."
Before Zhao Jiadi could speak, the aunt on the left protested with a smile: "The Agency Affairs Bureau is full of old people who eat people without spitting out their bones. Jiadi, don't listen to her nonsense. If you want to change, go to the Science and Technology Department. You If he has good grades and is just the right person, he will soon be at the top. I will go back and tell Lao Song that he will not be a bole, and my aunt will take care of him!"
Qi Shugen's mother has been standing behind Zhao Jiadi to watch this young man's performance. The brand is indeed good, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is just like cooking. It seems plain, but it is delicious. After all, she is a middle-aged man who holds the title of official wife. Women still like this kind of capable but non-prickly child, who is pleasing to the eye. No wonder both her husband and son are very fond of him. She was skeptical at first, but after two short visits to Tianmu Mountain, she was really reassured that this young man was more generous than she thought. So she, who is currently the mayor's wife and may be the wife of a certain provincial standing committee member in the future, smiled and said: "You guys, please don't come up with random ideas. I think it's good that the A-level is in the National Development and Reform Commission, so that none of us will feel unhappy." balance."
The aunties all laughed knowingly together. While playing cards, they asked questions such as whether Adi had a girlfriend and whether Adi would go to my house to make up lessons. The atmosphere was lively.
After dinner, with Li Qinghu as her company, Huang Ying stopped pestering Zhao Jiadi and Qi Shugen and chatted in endless boudoir whispers. Qi Shugen glanced at the information that Zhao Jiadi had just obtained. Among them was "Hangzhou City Chronicle"? Qi Shugen smiled and said, "You are really cruel." Zhao Jiadi chuckled and said, "You know the difference, right?" Qi Shugen pulled up a chair and sat next to Zhao Jiadi.?Zhao Jiadi wondered, so serious, do you want to confess? Qi Shugen had no choice but to get down to business. I solemnly remind you to handle your relationship with Pei Luoshen well, otherwise you will be ruined. This is very different from the nature of some officials Bao Xiaomi. Zhao Jiadi picked up a cigarette and knocked on the table, nodded and said, "I know it well." Qi Shugen was worried and asked if he really knew it? Zhao Jiadi smiled and asked why I lied to you. Qi Shugen sighed and said when I saw Pei Luoshen this morning, I was nervous for you. The eyes of my mother and these aunts are not very good. I am afraid that you will reveal the truth, but it is okay, but since you have to stay in Hangzhou for a few years, you are always like this It's not a matter of being on tenterhooks, it's a separation or a combination, I don't dare to say anything, in short, you should pay attention to yourself. Zhao Jiadi hummed. Qi Shugen lay back on the bed and said sincerely: "You are good at everything, even the relationship between men and women, which makes a single man like me jealous or envious."
Zhao Jiadi joked: "If you can't stay at the National Development and Reform Commission, I'll go to your dad's place to catch the autumn wind."
Qi Shugen rolled his eyes and said, "Don't set off smoke bombs with me. It's not like I don't know that you are close to Secretary Li, who has just established his own business. My dad's temple is small, and you, a great Bodhisattva, take a fancy to you?"
Zhao Jiadi said disdainfully: "Your father is still a young man? You are a second-generation official!"
Qi Shugen hit back: "Get lost! You, a rich second generation, have no right to criticize me!"
Zhao Jiadi smiled sinisterly and said: "Then we are quite a match, good brothers with beautiful round buttocks, let's have sex tonight?"
Qi Shugen cursed and wanted to take a bath, but he didn't dare to go.
Early the next morning, Zhao Jiadi went to the top of the quiet mountain at the same time to perform Peking Opera, boxing, and sunrise. The old man still sat quietly on the spot with his cane. When Zhao Jiadi came closer, the old man who was like a demi-god smiled and said: "Zhao Jiadi, have you graduated from college?"
Zhao Jiadi nodded and said: "I just graduated and was admitted to the Provincial Development and Reform Commission."
The old man said slowly: "It is not easy to enter a provincial government agency as soon as you graduate."
Zhao Jiadi scratched his head and smiled.
Seeing that he was cautious, the old man waved to sit next to him. The old man and the young boy watched the rising sun together. When the old man asked Zhao Jia's first answer, they were all common questions in the market, such as vegetable prices, houses, road conditions, and Zhao Jia's first answer. He also answered quite well, saying something, and if you don't understand, don't pretend to be profound. Then the old man seemed to have heard Zhao Jiadi talk about a grandfather who liked to talk about Feng Shui yesterday, so he asked some questions specifically. Zhao Jiadi told him about his childhood. Basically, I started practicing boxing at that time, in order to keep fit. When talking about my grandfather, I can¡¯t avoid some of the ups and downs of that era. Zhao Jiadi always pointed it out. The old man was weathered, what kind of I have never seen human affairs before, so I can naturally come up with many things that Zhao Jiadi could not imagine. He said softly to Zhao Jiadi, you have a good grandpa and a good grandma. Zhao Jiadi said sadly that he left early. The old man stood up, looked into the distance, and said with mixed feelings: "Every time I go to the Qingming Festival on the Double Ninth Festival, I can't help but think of a person, especially the Qingming Festival, the world between the Yang and the underworld, the living and the dead, looking at each other, I dare not forget it."
Zhao Jiadi bit his lip and had no words.
The old man turned his head to look at the young man's expression, and looked at the distant view of Hangzhou again, which seemed to be farther away, and said with a smile: "Zhao Jiadi, do you want to join the National Development and Reform Commission, is it your own will or the family's idea?"
Zhao Jiadi said honestly: "My own."
The old man narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were no longer just kind and kind. He turned around and asked, "Can you tell me why? Or what are you trying to do? A golden rice bowl and an iron rice bowl? Then I, an old man, have to tell you that in a few years, this rice bowl will be But it¡¯s not that reliable.¡±
Zhao Jiadi smiled and said: "I can definitely support myself by making money. I don't want the privileges of civil servants, I just want to be a good official."
The old man smiled, "Not an upright official?"
Zhao Jiadi shook his head sincerely.
The old man didn't ask any more questions and suddenly said: "Back then, we worked hard to conquer the world. After we conquered the country, many generals had wives who were ten or even decades older. You want to say that they are not good officials? No." What do you think they were after initially? For money? For power? Nonsense. At that time, I didn¡¯t even know if I could survive on the battlefield. I might have become a platoon leader, a company commander, and a battalion commander in one day. It's so unrealistic now. Why? Because the old platoon elders and even the elder battalion commanders are dead. In those days, filling your stomach was good. Who thought that he could live to the end, or even become a general or a high-ranking official? But? After several generations, there are many problems. I have been thinking over the years about what we and our descendants are missing. Unfortunately, I haven¡¯t come up with anything that can convince me. I don¡¯t even dare to ask someone to write my memoirs. Junior editors talk to me about this every day. How can I, an old man who has lived for almost a hundred years, not see through such shady thoughts? I just don¡¯t want to talk about them.¡±
Zhao Jiadi was confused and didn¡¯t know how to express his words.
The old man laughed slowly and said, "Zhao Jiadi, your family is in a good position."Not bad, why are you working so hard? "
Zhao Jiadi was a little embarrassed and said: "When I was young, I was angry with my father. He was angry with my grandfather and wanted to prove that men can be successful without studying. I wanted to prove that men can be successful only by studying."
The old man smiled heartily and said: "Now it seems that you and your grandfather have won, or your father?"
Zhao Jiadi said shyly: "For the time being, my dad still wins."
The old man seemed to find it interesting, and he was in high spirits. He paused and said some unknown thoughts: "This trip to Hangzhou is a reflection of the past. For an old man like me who has to put two feet into the coffin, before I can put one foot in, I'm not afraid of anyone, I'm just afraid of those doctors who threaten people with their health with a straight face, so no one bothers me recently. It's nice to be able to talk to you. Although we are separated by several generations, we are still very happy. On a common topic, Zhao Jiadi, let me ask you one last time, being a good official is more difficult than being an upright official, can you really persist? Ten years, twenty years, or until you retire?"
Zhao Jiadi said calmly: "I don't want to be a high official, I just want to be able to do something practical, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. I just want to let the children in poor places study more, and the old people in poor places can sleep well without resentment. It used to be With this simple thought, I heard your statement yesterday that the common people are the most worthy, and I feel that I have more reasons now."
The old man did not comment on this, and just commented softly: "It's a bit idealistic, but it's rare."
Zhao Jiadi remained silent.
The old man leaned on crutches with both hands and said with a smile: "Zhao Jiadi, come with me to see the scenery on the top of the mountain."
