Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Fortunately, the love was transferred to his son. Although Zhou Tian felt a little uncomfortable, he couldn't compete with his son for it!

At the beginning of January, with only one week left until the Chinese New Year, factories began preparing for the New Year holidays. Perhaps because there were more high-rise buildings in downtown Beijing in recent years, the entire city already had a hint of modernity.

Many people who have not returned to Beijing for the New Year in a few years find it hard to believe the changes that have taken place in Beijing.

Especially in many places near Dongzhimen on the Second Ring Road, there are many residential areas, all of which are newly built employee communities for various factories.

The military compound at Gongzhufen, coupled with the extensive streets and roads throughout the city, with blue buses constantly running at various street intersections, gives many people who have just arrived in the city an indescribable shock.

Liu Wei stood at the exit of the train station, looking at the tall buildings around him, feeling indescribably uncomfortable. As a native of Beijing, he did not expect that Beijing had changed so much in just eight years since he left there.

For a moment, he even had the urge to turn around and leave, because he felt that the way he looked now seemed out of place in the city in front of him.

"Xiaowei, here!"

Just when he was hesitating, a voice came from a distance, which made his heart tremble. He looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in his forties waving his hand and greeting him excitedly with his eyes.

"Lao Hong!"

When Liu Wei saw the middle-aged man, he immediately walked over happily with his luggage.

"Hahahahaha, Xiaowei, I knew you would come back, that's great!"

Hong Tao suddenly hugged Liu Wei and said excitedly.

"I never thought that eight years would pass since I was sent to the frontier by my superiors. I never thought that I would come back one day!"

Feeling the excitement of his childhood friend, his expression became complicated.

Eight years, how many eight years can a person have? But he dedicated all his youth to the frontier, to that once desolate land.

"Well, now that you've finally been transferred back, we can be reunited again!"

Perhaps sensing his childhood friend's bad mood, Hong Tao patted his shoulder to comfort him, then let go of his hand, snatched Liu Wei's luggage, and took him to a jeep nearby.

"Good fellow, Lao Hong, you have been doing pretty well these years. I didn't expect you even have a private car!"

When Liu Wei followed Hong Tao to the jeep and watched him open the door and throw his luggage into the car, he couldn't help but envy him.

"What? What do you mean I even have a private car? You know I'm only at the department level, how can I have a private car? I'm borrowing the director's car!"

When Hong Tao heard what Liu Wei said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, while opening the driver's seat and getting in the car.

"That's pretty good, much better than me. I'm only a deputy director now!"

As he was a childhood friend, Liu Wei was not polite at all. He opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, closed the door and smiled.

"Humph, deputy director level, your deputy director level is different from mine, but seriously, Xiaowei, did the higher-ups tell you how they plan to arrange you?"

Hong Tao started the engine, but his eyes were on his childhood friend. Although his childhood friend is now at the deputy division level, he knows that he had volunteered to go to the border. Not to mention how much he has achieved over the years, but he believes that the organization will not let his childhood friend suffer any loss.

"I said we should go to the municipal government, but my old leader suggested we go to Changping District!"

Liu Wei looked through the car window at the many people riding bicycles on both sides of the road, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Top leader?"

Hong Tao asked in a questioning tone, and seeing Liu Wei nodded, a hint of excitement flashed through his heart.

"I knew that the organization would use you when you came back this time, but I didn't expect that the organization would let you go to Changping to be the top leader. You know, Changping is a good place!"

The jeep was driving on the road, and Liu Wei was stunned when he heard the red songs coming from the loudspeakers on the telephone poles on both sides of the road.

"How do you say this?"

"Well, you don't know yet. Let's not talk about anything else. What do you think of the current Sijiu City?"

Speaking of Changping, Hong Tao asked with a mysterious smile on his face.

"I don't know what to say about this!"

Although he didn't know why his childhood friend asked this, he still answered honestly: "As for my impression, it has changed a lot. There are more tall buildings, the roads are wider, and it seems to be similar to the city where Big Brother was when I went there! No, it's even better! But I always feel that it seems to be different from the city I had in my previous impression!"

"Yeah, I think so too. But how can I put it? Society has to move forward. Compared to the past, do you think it has gotten better or worse?"

"Of course it's getting better!"

Regarding this point, Liu Wei still said affirmatively that although the city of Beijing no longer has the same feeling of cultural heritage as before, after all, cultural heritage cannot be eaten.

As long as it can make your life better, even a small change is worth it.

"Yes, it has gotten better, but I want to tell you that Changping is even better than Sijiucheng. Do you believe it?"

"impossible!"

Liu Wei asked without even thinking, what kind of place is Sijiu City? It is the country's political and cultural center. If someone said that Shanghai is better developed than Sijiu City, he might believe it.

After all, Shanghai was the economic center of the south before liberation, but Liu Wei knew very well what Changping was. Even if it was better than ordinary towns, he would not doubt it, but he did not believe that it could be compared with the old city.

"I know you won't believe it, but you'll know when the time comes! By the way, Xiaowei, you haven't got married in all these years?"

Seeing that his childhood friend didn't believe him, Hong Tao didn't make any excuses. After all, he would be taking up his new post in Changping after the Chinese New Year, and he would know the truth then. Before seeing the facts, this guy wouldn't believe him even if he said something ridiculous.

That's just his personality.

"No, you know I've been injured and can't be humane. If we really get married, wouldn't that be harming others?"

Liu Wei did not shy away from talking about his past. After so many years, he had already let it go.

"Look at me, I'm a bad mouth. Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, Xiaowei, I have good news for you. There's news about your sister!"

As Hong Tao spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and slap his mouth, but when he saw that no one cared, he felt relieved and told him the good news.
