Chapter 451: The Epidemic Ends (Part 2)
"Mom! Mom!" The children shouted and ran to Zhou Weiying, who had just got off the train. Because it was the holiday now, Luo Yue took the children to the train station to pick up Zhou Weiying.
Zhou Weiying also put down the suitcase in her hand, and greeted Xiao Zhujing, who was rushing to the front, and hugged Xiao Zhujing, Lin Jin in his arms, kissed them on the face, and then hugged Meng Huanzhang, Lu Qiurong, and Luo Yuandong behind her. He said happily: "Are you all okay at home!"
The oldest Xiao Zhujing is 11 years old this year and is very sensible. She said, "Mom, we are all very good, we just miss you very much."
Zhou Weiying patted her little face and said, "Mom is outside, I miss you too!"
At this time, the youngest Lu Qiurong, Luo Yuandong couldn't help crying. Zhou Weiying hurriedly hugged them again, patted them gently on the back, and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, mom is back."
At this time, Luo Yue came over and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, my mother has been back."
In fact, it was not just Zhou Weiying, but also the relatives and family members of other veterans came over to welcome their relatives. A burst of laughter and crying sounds came one after another, and the platform was very lively. Only Wu Lien-teh stood by the train, with a rather awkward expression.
However, after a while of laughter, everyone returned to normal. Because they were all veterans, most of them knew each other. Even if they didn't know each other, they all looked familiar or heard of each other, so they all greeted each other. However, Zhou Weiying did not forget Wu Liante and asked everyone to introduce Wu Liante one by one.
After working together for more than three months, Wu Lien-teh also knew a lot about the things that happened in the East China Government. He knew that Zhou Weiying's parents were both senior officials of the East China Government, her father was also one of the decision-makers of the East China Government, and her husband was a soldier. He made countless military achievements in previous battles. It can be said that his family background is prominent. Of course, Zhou Weiying's own abilities are worthy of her position, not by relying on her family background.
Therefore, Wu Liande was very polite to Luo Yue, and said a few words to each other. Then Zhou Weiying and others said goodbye one by one, and went home each other, leaving only Wu Liande alone. Of course, there was a special person to arrange Wu Liande's residence.
Wu Lien-teh picked up the box and was about to leave the platform when he suddenly heard someone say, "Lien-teh, you are back."
Wu Liande saw that it was Zhang Zhenxun, who was looking at him from a distance with several followers, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Bishi, why are you here?"
Zhang Zhenxun smiled and said, "I came to pick you up. Everyone else has people to pick you up, but you don't have one. Wouldn't you be too lonely? And you don't have a residence in Qingdao, so live in my house first. It's not too late to start your own business when you find your residence."
Wu Lien-Te: "Mr. Bishi, the government has made arrangements for my residence, these two are..."
Zhang Zhenxun waved his hand and said, "The government arrangement is nothing more than living in the guesthouse, so how comfortable it is to be at my home!" He turned around and said to the two staff members who arranged Wu Lien Tel: "Two, I will take Lien Tel back to my home to live, so I won't live in the guesthouse."
A staff member nodded and said, "Of course, but please leave an address. If there is any problem, we will be able to notify you."
Zhang Zhenxun also nodded, asked a follower to hand over the staff, and then said to Wu Lien-teh: "Let's go, go home first."
Seeing this, Wu Liante knew that he would refuse. Of course, living at Zhang Zhenxun's house would definitely be more comfortable than staying in a guesthouse, so he followed Zhang Zhenxun and his luggage was taken by Zhang Zhenxun's entourage, so Wu Liante didn't need to take action.
Wu Lien-Te's return was facilitated by Zhang Zhenxun, but the relationship between the two families can only be considered ordinary, and it is limited to business exchanges. However, Wu Lien-Te's return to China this time participated in the fight against the epidemic in the Northeast, and performed very well, and was recognized by his fellow veterans. This is also the highest evaluation of Zhang Zhenxun's recommendation to the East China Government to convert to overseas Chinese. Therefore, Zhang Zhenxun also decided to strengthen his relationship with Wu Lien-Te more.
At this time, Zhang Zhenxun recommended many overseas Chinese to return to China. On the one hand, Zhang Zhenxun really wanted to do something for the country; on the other hand, Zhang Zhenxun hoped to increase his voice and influence in the East China Government. Bi Jing's family is now deeply bound to the East China Government. They prosper and all the losses, so they have enhanced their influence in the East China Government. Now that Wu Lien-teh is now valued by the East China Government, he naturally wants to win him back.
After leaving the train station, Zhang Zhenxun's car got in the parking lot. Although Zhang Zhenxun did not settle in Qingdao for a long time, he had to come at least a few trips a year. Therefore, he not only had a large amount of business in Qingdao, but also had enough to buy several properties, bought 3 cars, 2 for business dealings, and 1 car was Zhang Zhenxun's own special car.
The two sat in the back row of the car. After the car started, Zhang Zhenxun said: "Liande, this time you went to Northeast China to participate in the fight against the epidemic for more than three months. What do you think of the East China government!"
Wu Lien-te said: "Just from the Northeast's anti-epidemic, the East China Government is indeed people-oriented, and is pragmatic, with few false talks, and is brave enough to take responsibility. I was a little worried at the beginning when I prevented the epidemic in the Northeast and decisively closed down cities, roads and districts, but now it seems that it is the most correct way to prevent the epidemic. Only the thunder method can show the heart of the Bodhisattva. If the East China Government acts like this, it is really a blessing for me to do it."
Zhang Zhenxun laughed and said, "After I was inspecting Qingdao, I found that the East China Government was completely different from the Qing court. I concluded that the East China Government was the hope of China, and the most valuable thing. The East China Government also regarded our overseas Chinese as Chinese people. We overseas Chinese in the South China have not had a stable day in the past few hundred years. The reason is that there is no strong country behind us. Needless to say, even the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were prosperous for a while, but they regarded our overseas Chinese in the South China as foreign people. Looking at those European businessmen, they were not supported by their own country, so they could be rampant. Only when the East China Government sent troops to protect overseas Chinese in the South China several times, I vigorously invested and started businesses in Qingdao and lobbled the Chinese in the South China to join the East China Government."
Wu Lien-teh also said: "Yes, after I returned to Penang after studying abroad, I have heard a lot of them. Now it seems that they are all true."
Zhang Zhenxun said: "Now the epidemic has ended, what are the plans for Liande in the future!"
Wu Liande said: "I plan to find a residence in Qingdao first, settle down, and work for a while. If everything goes well, I will bring my family from Penang and settle down here."
Zhang Zhenxun nodded and smiled, "Okay! OK! Don't worry about the residence. I have several properties in Qingdao. I will take you to see it in a few days. If you think it's suitable, you might as well settle it down, rent it or buy it, and the price is easy to say."
At this time, Luo Yue and Zhou Weiying also brought the children home with them. Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping also went home early, waiting for Zhou Weiying to come back. After coming to this era, Zhou Weiying worked in Qingdao for most of the time. Sometimes she went out on business trips, at most ten days and a half months. Only this time she went there for more than three months. Of course, Zhou Weiying was an adult and could take good care of herself when she was away. But this time she went to the epidemic area, and the epidemic in the Northeast was once very severe. The only way to communicate was a telegram. Although she could receive Zhou Weiying’s report to her safe telegram every 2 or 3 days, Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping were still very worried. Until the end of 1910, the epidemic in the Northeast improved, the two of them could feel a little relieved.
Now that Zhou Weiying has finally come back, the two of them are completely relieved. However, they are very distressed to see that Zhou Weiying has obviously lost a lot of weight than before leaving. Although Zhou Weiying is over 30 years old and even has children, in the eyes of Qin Zheng and Zhou Ping and his wife, she is still a child. However, Zhou Weiying has returned safely after all, so the family is full of joy this day.
Before the last batch of medical personnel evacuated, the East China Government had announced that it would organize a commendation meeting for medical personnel who supported Northeast China before the New Year. Two days later, all medical personnel who went to Northeast China to support were to attend. At this time, medical personnel from other places had arrived in Qingdao one after another to prepare to attend the meeting.
During the epidemic in the Northeast, there were about 2,500 medical staff supported from all over the country. In the end, a total of 46 medical staff were infected with the plague and 7 medical staff died. Now that the epidemic is over, all medical staff have left the Northeast, of course, these medical staff should be commended. First, it is to boost the morale of the people; second, this is also an important part of this epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic publicity work, and all media are also ready.
In fact, medical personnel who evacuated from the Northeast in advance have received promotions and salary increases in local hospitals. The commendation this time is mainly in terms of honors. In addition, special rewards are given to medical personnel who have performed outstandingly during the epidemic, as well as medical personnel who have been infected with the plague and died of the line of duty.
Of course, in the past two days, this group of medical staff who returned to Qingdao could have a good rest at home without having to join work immediately. So Luo Yue also took two days off and planned to accompany Zhou Weiying and his children at home. Fortunately, the East China Government had stopped its military operations against the Fengde court at this time. Otherwise, the Marines participated in the war due to the military strike against the Fengde court. Although Luo Yue did not want to command the battle in person, he should always pay attention to the progress of the war in Qingdao. Of course, it is impossible for the Marine Corps to take leave. In fact, in the military operations of the Fengde court, Luo Yue was basically in the office, waiting for the telegram ahead to report the progress of the war, while performing various war progress on the sand table.
