After eating and sending her sister back to school, Xu Yiyang easily found the location of Yingzhou Old Education Bureau based on her memory.

In September of 1999, Xu Yiyang left home to go to college. Since then, he has basically returned only twice a year.

I graduated from university immediately after work and returned twice a year.

Therefore, in Yingzhou after 1999, he didn't really know much.

In my impression, every time I return home, I feel that Yingzhou has changed a lot. It has become bigger, more prosperous, and more foreign.

Just like folk singer Zhao Lei sang in the song: "My hometown is getting younger and younger, like a tacky dress."

However, every time Xu Yiyang returned, he hadn't had time to get acquainted, so he went away with his backpack.

He continued to do so year after year. Twenty years have passed. Instead, he has become increasingly ignorant of his hometown.

However, Yingzhou before September 1999 has been lingering in his mind.

Because only Yingzhou is now, it is Yingzhou he is familiar with, and it is Yingzhou where he has lived for eighteen years.

This old, small city carried his childhood, childhood and adolescence.

So, he is almost no stranger to the current Yingzhou.

Instead, feel kind.

许 When Xu Yiyang came to the door of the Education Bureau, it was 1:50 in the afternoon. Secretary Hu was already waiting for him at the door.

As soon as I saw Xu Yiyang, Secretary Hu said, "Xiao Xu, Director Cai and foreign guests are here, and I'll wait for you."

Xu Yiyang nodded, and followed him inwardly.

I walked through the gate, passed the government affairs open column, and glanced side by side, and found that the one at the top was Director Cai, who I saw today.

The full name of Director Cai is Cai Zhongyun, who is the leader of Yingzhou Education Bureau.

I came to the boardroom of the Education Bureau. The Thomas and Director Cai had already sat down, and several officials from the Education Bureau accompanied them.

Two reporters who came by the Yellow River in the morning also rushed over, and this time brought an additional photographer and a videographer.

Because of the lack of language, the atmosphere was somewhat embarrassing. Until Xu Yiyang came in, everyone was finally relieved.

劳 Thomas Lauter waved at him very excitedly and said with a smile: "Xu, you are finally here!"

Xu Yiyang laughed and said, "I'm sorry I'm late."

没有 "No, no!" Thomas Lauter waved and smiled, "It's that we came a little earlier."

Director Cai Cai was relieved and said to Xu Yiyang, "Xiao Xu, if you don't come, our communication can't be carried out at all ..."

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Hey, Director Cai."

Later, he accompanied the Thomas and his wife and sat opposite the leaders such as Director Cai.

Just after sitting down, Thomas Lauter went straight to the subject and said to Xu Yiyang, "Xu, please tell Director Cai that this time I came to Yingzhou to help my grandfather donate 200,000 German marks to Yingzhou for education cause."

Xu Yiyang translated it on the spot, and thoughtfully added: "Director Cai, 200,000 German marks, almost 1 million yuan."

"one million?!"

Director Cai was stunned!

One donation of RMB 1 million at a time, this is definitely a record single donation in the field of education in Yingzhou!

One million yuan in 1999, the purchasing power is still very high.

If you use the house price as a reference scale, it will be at least 2, 30 times higher than 2020!

So, Director Cai quickly stood up, shook hands with Thomas Lauter, and said gratefully, "Ah, Mr. Lauter, thank you so much! Thank you for your grandpa who remembered Yingzhou for so many years!"

Thomas Lauter smiled and said seriously: "In fact, our entire family is very grateful to Yingzhou. If it wasn't for the people of Yingzhou who adopted and raised my grandfather, it is likely that he had already suffered a shipwreck with his parents during his childhood Naturally, we will not have our children and grandchildren. "

After saying that, Thomas Lauter said reverently, "Director Cai, I have a small request."

Director Cai said: "Please!"

Thomas Laut said, "I hope you can help me find the village where my grandfather lived as a child. My grandfather told me that the place was Wang Jiadu."

Wang Jiadu three words, Thomas Lauter uses the standard Yingzhou pronunciation.

According to him, his grandfather was a farmer in Yingzhou at that time, but because of the difficult conditions at that time, he never studied.

When he was taken back to Germany at the age of twelve, even though he spoke a standard Yingzhou dialect, he could hardly write a word.

Therefore, the name of Wang Jiadu was also spoken by Thomas to Laut in Yingzhou dialect.

Everyone understands. The three words he said are Wang Jiadu.

However, the problem is that Yingzhou seems to have no place for Wangjiadu at all.

Director Cai Cai thought for a moment and said to Xu Yiyang, "Xiao Xu, do you ask Mr. Lauter, do you remember the wrong place name?"

Xu Yiyang thought about it and said, "Director Cai, Wang Jiadu's words are very slippery, and you should not remember them wrong."

Then, he whispered again: "Director Cai, his grandfather lived in Yingzhou from 1914 to 1926. The place of Wang Jiadu is probably the name at that time. After all these years, will it have been renamed? Anymore? "

Director Cai Cai nodded slightly, agreeing, saying, "What you analyzed makes sense, it is likely to be renamed."

After saying that, he told Secretary Hu around him, "Xiao Hu, you call our retired cadres and ask, did we have a place called Wang Jiadu before?"

"Good Director Cai!" Secretary Hu hurriedly got up and left the conference room.

After a few minutes, he ran back with excitement and said, "Director Cai, our retired Zhao Kechang said that there used to be a village called Wang Jiadu. It was right next to the Yellow River and was a ferry crossing the Yellow River. In the 1950s, Wangjiadu Village merged with several small villages next door to form the happiness commune. Later, the people's commune disintegrated, and it was called the happiness village. The happiness village is in the town of Xiaguan in our suburbs. "

After listening to Xu Yiyang's translation, Thomas Lauter said excitedly, "It's so good, I was still worried that I couldn't find this place before I came!"

At this time, Mr. Cai threw an excited thigh: "Oh, it ’s a coincidence. The school building in Xiaguan Town has been in disrepair for years. I want to renovate and rebuild it, but I ’m struggling with insufficient funds. Take some of it out, renovate the teaching building, and name it after the elderly! "

1 million does not seem to be much, but after all, the purchasing power is strong, and it is completely enough to renovate a teaching building that is not so large.

Thomas Lauter was also very excited after hearing this, and blurted out: "If it can really be named after my grandfather, it would be better!"

So, the two sides hit it off and were happy.

劳 Thomas Lauter is also relieved.

After talking about the business ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ Thomas Lauter said to Xu Yiyang: "Xu, I have to trouble you tomorrow to accompany us to visit Yingzhou. We also want to go to Wangjiadu to have a look."

Xu Yiyang immediately agreed, Thomas gave himself almost 3,000 yuan, and it should be another day to serve others.

But he did not expect that Thomas took out six hundred German marks on the spot, saying that it would be the translation cost for tomorrow.

Xu Yiyang didn't dare to accept this time, and he was embarrassed to accept it.

I have received six hundred German marks before. Director Cai and others are watching it.

If I collect so much money from myself, I am afraid that others will feel too greedy.

As a result, Xu Yiyang declined on the spot and insisted on righteousness for a long time, so that Thomas gave up the idea of ​​giving money.

Director Cai heard that Thomas Lauter was going to visit Yingzhou, and he wanted to go to Wangjiadu again, and smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, you tell Mr. Lauter that tomorrow I will arrange Santana of the Board of Education for you. , Xiaguan Town is still a little far from the city, and the traffic is not so convenient. "

逸 Xu Yiyang nodded and translated Director Cai's words to Thomas Lauter.

The latter listened to Xu Yiyang's translation and immediately thanked Director Cai.

Director Cai also warmly invited Thomas and his wife for dinner together, but Thomas Lauter declined, saying that he wanted to walk around his wife in Yingzhou.

逸 Xu Yiyang, as his translator, wanted to accompany him due to his professionalism. Thomas also declined him, smiling and saying, "Xu, you are already very hard today. Go back to rest and rest. Let's see you tomorrow morning!"

When Xu Yiyang saw this, he didn't insist any more, but made an appointment with him to meet at the guest house at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and then went to the third middle school by bicycle, ready to take Xu Yishan home.
