The next day was Sunday.
Zhao Yufeng asked the kitchen to prepare flour, soybeans and oil, and ran to the back house to report to Chen Zikun: "Commander, everything has been arranged and we are ready to leave."
Chen Zikun said that he had not informed Secretary Liu, so it might not be polite to go there rashly.
Zhao Yufeng said that there was no notice.
If he told this matter in advance, it would be ineffective.
What he wanted was the taste of a private visit incognito.
He took the opportunity to take a look at Secretary Liu’s house.
Marshal, you’d better go in casual clothes.
Don’t scare others. .
Chen Zikun thought about the same idea.
He went to the little girl's house as a supervisor.
Not to mention scaring the Liu family, it would also cause a sensation in the whole street.
This was not good.
So, Chen Zikun changed into a green cloth gown and a top hat, took Ruan Mingchuan with him, and went to Liu's house incognito.
Zhao Yufeng also changed into casual clothes, and waited on him in front of him and on horseback, without using a car.
This thing is still rare in the provincial capital.
Afraid of shocking the common people, they only found a few foreign cars, loaded them with flour and soybean oil, and drove straight away according to the home address written on Liu Ting's registration form.
Liu Ting's family lived in an alley next to Luomashi Street in the provincial capital.
A group of wild children were fighting.
Zhao Yufeng saw them and stepped forward and yelled: "If you are making trouble, get up and move away."
The half-grown children dispersed in a hurry, only to see a boy lying on the ground, covered with footprints and mud.
Zhao Yufeng said: "Don't break this kid."
The little boy got up in a hurry, his eyes were bright, he patted the dust on his body, and said carelessly: "It's okay, it's time to tickle me."
Zhao Yufeng said, "Oh, you are interesting.
Show me the way and I will give you a dime."
The little boy said: "Where are you going, who are you looking for?"
Zhao Yufeng said: "I am looking for a family named Liu who lives in this alley.
His family has a daughter named Liu Ting, who is a student of Jiang University."
"I know you.
Come with me."
The little boy led the way and led them to the door of a house deep in the alley.
The red painted door was old and the paint was peeling off.
The calligraphy on the couplets was very clear. , the couplet is normal, the door is half open, and you can see a clump of green bamboo growing deep in the yard.
The little boy pushed the door open and went in: "Sister, we have guests."
"Where are the guests?"
Liu Ting's voice came from the yard.
She was resting at home today.
She didn't wear the clothes she wore at work, but a gray cloth coat with patches on top.
Her hands were filled with soap foam.
She was sitting.
I'm rubbing my clothes on the bench.
Several children were playing in the yard.
The older ones were hugging the younger ones.
All of them looked good, and their clothes were shabby but washed very clean.
It was obvious that the housewife was running the house well.

A group of children, big and small, stared at the uninvited guests.
Liu Ting saw that it was Supervisor Chen and Director Zhao who came to visit.
She was at a loss for a moment and panicked: "Supervisor" Zhao Yufeng interrupted her: "The Supervisory Office has come to bring warmth to the staff.
You're welcome.
Let's go."
Seeing that they were all dressed in casual clothes, Liu Ting immediately understood and supervised that this was a private visit incognito, so she stopped making any noise and invited them into the room to sit for a while.
The driver of the cart helped unload the dough bags and soybean oil from the cart.
A group of children stood silently and timidly, with joy in their eyes.
Zhao Yufeng took out a dime and said, "Little brother, this is your reward."
The boy who led them in quickly waved his hand: "Sir, you are a guest, how can I ask for your money?"
After entering the house, Chen Zikun looked around.
The Liu family was indeed poor, but it was obvious that they were a declining scholarly family.
There were hundreds of classics on the bookshelves, all four treasures of the study were on the table, and there were a few calligraphy and Spring Festival couplets hanging on the wall.
The handwriting is the same and it seems to be the owner's own handwriting.
Liu Ting was busy making tea, but there was no hot water in the kettle.
She was anxious and looked around.
Zhao Yufeng said: "Secretary Liu, you are welcome, we will sit down for a while and then leave.
Your father is not at home."
"My father is out, you have something to do with him?"
Liu Ting was confused.
"Didn't your father work in a newspaper office?
It just so happens that this friend of mine wants to run a newspaper in Jiangdong and wants to ask your father for some advice."
Chen Zikun explained.
"That's it."
Liu Ting shouted outside: "Xiaoyong, go and call dad."
Xiaoyong was the boy who led the way.
He responded and went out quickly, but soon ran back and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Sister, dad is back."
A thin middle-aged man came in a hurry.
When he entered the yard, he saw the flour sacks under the eaves.
He was stunned for a moment.
After entering the door, Chen Zikun and the other three people stood up.
Liu Ting introduced her gracefully: "Dad, these are It’s my friends, Mr.
Chen, Mr.
Zhao, and Mr.
Ruan.”
"Hurry up, sit down, Ting'er, make, make tea."
Liu's father said hurriedly, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Ruan Mingchuan was the first to take out his business card and handed it over: "Mr.
Liu, I am Ruan Mingchuan, from the Beijing News Agency."
Father Liu took the business card with both hands, took a step back and said: "It turns out to be the famous reporter Ruan from the capital, whom I have admired for a long time, my brother Liu Cunren."
His words became more enthusiastic, and he understood that these uninvited guests were here to see him, not I came to have my daughter’s idea.
Chen Zikun did not have a business card.
He and Zhao Yufeng both appeared as followers of Ruan Mingchuan.
The two parties simply exchanged greetings, said they were glad to meet him, shook hands, and took their seats.
"Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Liu, that's it.
I am planning to run a newspaper in Jiangdong.
I heard that you are a veteran in the newspaper industry, so I came here to consult and hope to give you some advice."
Ruan Mingchuan said straight to the point.
When talking about newspapers, Liu Cunren immediately became energetic and stopped stammering when he spoke.
He is a veteran of Jiangdong Times.
All published articles have passed through his hands.
He talked about his views on news and the development direction of newspapers.
As for the conversation, Ruan Mingchuan was impressed by his profound understanding and profound knowledge.
"Jiangdong is really a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Mr.
Liu, would you like to run the newspaper with me?"
Ruan Mingchuan was an outspoken person and immediately extended the invitation.
Unexpectedly, Father Liu hesitated.
Liu Ting was impatient at the side, but it was hard to interrupt.
After a long while, Liu's father said: "To be honest with you, I just resigned from the newspaper office a few days ago.
According to industry regulations, I can't work in the same industry for at least three months, so I still hope that Haihan will do it."
Ruan Mingchuan and Chen Zikun looked at each other and nodded secretly.
Father Liu was indeed a gentleman.
"Well, we won't bother you anymore and will come to visit another day."
Ruan Mingchuan said goodbye, and Liu's father didn't force him to stay and got up to see him off.
When they arrived at the door, they met Liu's mother coming back.
They had to introduce her again.
Liu's mother couldn't help but pull Ruan Mingchuan back: "It's already noon.
Where are you going?
Stay for dinner, Ting'er, go wash the vegetables.
Xiaoyong , go get a drink, the master, don't be idle, chat with the guests, we don't have any good food, you guys are sorry."
Everyone was surprised.
Liu's father was a gentleman, but Liu's mother was like a hero among women.
Her hospitality was hard to resist.
Ruan Mingchuan and Zhao Yufeng both looked at Chen Zikun.
"Since Mrs.
Liu is so polite, we can't be more respectful than obey."
Chen Zikun said.
A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Cunren's eyes.
It turned out that this young man with a beard was the leader.
The lunch meal was simple but elegant, including a fish, a plate of bamboo shoots, a plate of tofu with green onions, a plate of fennel beans, and a pot of wine.
The four of them drank and discussed newspapers, and then talked about politics.
Father Liu drank a few glasses of wine.
Later, he became more talkative and said: "The Beiyang government no longer has three years left."
Chen Zikun said: "Beiyang is so dim that it will be destroyed sooner or later.
How can Mr.
Liu calculate so clearly?"
Liu Cunren said: "There is God's will in the dark.
Yuan Shikai was in the fourth year, Duan Qirui was in the fourth year, Cao Kun was in the fourth year, and now Feng Zhang is the head of the family.

It must be another four years, forty-six, seventeen-eighth of the Republic of China."
Around the year, Beiyang is bound to collapse."
Chen Zikun and Ruan Mingchuan looked at each other and smiled in unison: "Great discussion."
Liu Cunren said proudly: "Where is it?"
Chen Zikun said: "Mr.
Liu, I would like to ask you what you think of the political situation in Jiangdong."
Liu Cunren's expression became serious and he said: "Supervisor Chen is very good at what he does on the surface."
As soon as these words came out, the air became a little tense.
Zhao Yufeng coughed dryly and signaled Liu Ting, who was bringing in the food, to dissuade his father.
Liu Ting understood and said: "Dad, you are drunk, stop talking nonsense."
Father Liu got drunk and ignored his daughter's hints.
He squinted his eyes and pointed with his chopsticks in the air: "The people's livelihood in Jiangdong Province is in decline.
Every year during the flood season, the Huaijiang River bursts and floods.
The people are displaced and the countryside The land is full of hungry people, serious land annexation in rural areas, unkind people who want to get rich, small fights make big fights, usurious loan sharks, county government security groups and township offices, oppressing the people like wolves and tigers, have Supervisor Chen ever seen these things?"
Everyone in the room was silent, but Chen Zikun raised his glass: "Mr.
Liu, that's well said.
I respect you.
How can Chen Zikun be more diligent than Sun Kai?"
Liu Cunren raised his cup, drank it in a sip, smacked his lips, picked up a fennel bean, ate it, and said: "Chen Zikun is naturally more than ten times better than Sun Kaiqin, but it is limited to his character.
In terms of governance, Chen Zikun is There is no difference between Sun and Sun, believe it or not Look at what he has done since he took charge of Jiangdong.
He spent most of his time in Shanghai, living and drinking in Beijing, sending electricity all day long, earning fame and attention.
Haha, this is exactly the same as his mentor Wu Peifu, four words , is used to putting on a show.”
"Dad" Liu Ting was almost crying and couldn't help but stamp her feet and shout.
"Oh, dad drank too much."
Liu Cunren finally realized what he was doing, and said with a smile: "I just like to drink two glasses of wine.
I don't drink well and I like to talk nonsense.
Don't blame the three of you.
Don't blame me. ” Ruan Mingchuan smiled and said: "Old Liu, I think you are failing as a proofreader.
How about I run a newspaper and you become the editor, and we can write an article together to criticize Chen Zikun."
Liu Cunren hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I don't dare.
I just drank too much and just talked nonsense.
How can I get it in the newspaper?"
At this point in the political discussion, everyone was somewhat uninterested and the banquet was dismissed.
Chen Zikun and others left, and Liu Cunren took his eldest daughter to escort the guests to the entrance of the alley.
Back home, Liu's mother complained: "You, you, don't show off if you don't have the ability to drink.
If you drink too much and talk nonsense, you will scare people.
Who would dare to hire you?"
Liu Cunren drank tea from a small teapot and said: "It doesn't matter.
I know this reporter Ruan.
He has always been known for his fierce words.
By the way, Ting'er, what are the backgrounds of the other two guests?
They are professors from Jiang University."
Liu Ting: "The tall one is Supervisor Chen, and the fair-skinned one is Director Zhao of the Adjutant's Office."
"What?"
The small teapot fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.
