The old man didn't say a word anymore, and Murong Guang didn't dare to talk more, so he sent the old man to the government guest house.

After the car stopped, the old man didn't get out of the car immediately, Murong Guang knew that he still had something to say.

"Don't tell anyone he's in Dengzhou, it's an order. ”

"Please rest assured, there will not be half a word coming out of my Murong Guang's mouth. ”

"He hasn't spent a penny from the state over the years, and he hasn't enjoyed the treatment the state has given him. This is because he feels indebted to the country's cultivation of him, and he feels sorry for our cultivation of him. He hasn't let go of it until now, so let's have time to comfort him. But he doesn't need to spend the state's money now, and his little cubs are very good. ”

The old man said this with a smile on his face again, as if it was a kind of self-comfort.

"Yes, Chief. Especially his apprentice Jiang Yue, who is simply a business wizard. ”

"Hmm. From Duan Hongsheng to Dengzhou, we have paid attention to everything around him, and that Jiang Yue has also entered our sight. ”

Murong Guang was taken aback when he heard this, it turned out that everything was under the control of the old chief, and he knew all the information.

"That kid is not simple, he is a business genius, you usually have to pay more attention to him, don't let him go astray. ”

"Rest assured, Chief, I will definitely keep an eye on this matter. Murong Guang didn't explain anything for Jiang Yue, the chief's words were to order him to carry it out.

"Alright, that's all for today, you can go back and rest. I didn't stay in Dengzhou for long, and I went back and told Sophie that I wouldn't see her this time, and that I would see her again when I had the chance. ”

"Chief, Sophie has repeatedly told me today that I must invite you to a meal and report on your ideological work. ”

"Don't play with those fictitious things, you go back first. After the old man finished speaking, he got out of the car and went back to his room.

Duan Hongsheng returned to the store, and the second aunt had already packed everything.

"Let's go, let's go home and rest first, it's really tiring after a busy day. The second aunt said with a smile.

"Hmm. Let's go, I'll go start the car first. Duan Hongsheng said absentmindedly, and then walked towards the parking lot.

The second aunt pondered for a moment, then closed the door and walked towards the parking lot.

Duan Hongsheng drove the car and did not speak along the way. He didn't speak, and the second aunt didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the car seemed very dull.

Back in the house that Jiang Yue bought for them, the second uncle lit a cigarette and lowered his head and smoked there.

"Do you have something on your mind?" the second aunt asked with a smile.

"What can I do, I don't have an affair. Duan Hongsheng deliberately humored, but there was no smile on his face.

"Huh. It would be nice if you could have an affair, it wouldn't be as dull as it is now. The second aunt is also a joke.

"I just don't dare to have an affair, otherwise you won't let me go to bed when I get home. ”

The second aunt didn't pick up his words, but suddenly asked, "Why did he still come to you?"

Duan Hongsheng was taken aback and then asked, "Who came to me?"

"Huh. I don't know who's coming for you? I just don't want to say. I wasn't initially sure it was him, but I guessed it must be him when he knocked on the table. Don't forget that my brother used to stay in that place, and he came home to visit his family and told me some things, but of course it didn't involve core secrets. ”

This time it was Duan Hongsheng's turn to be surprised, and he was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that his wife, who had always been wooden, could guess that the old man was looking for him, how did he guess?

"I couldn't be sure that the woman who came to eat the dough that day was Xiaoxiao's mother, and when Jiang Yue asked me, I knew that it was Xiaoxiao's mother. What kind of person is Jiang Yue, how could he look at the wrong person? I don't understand what it means for her to eat dough and tap on the table, but when I saw you knocking on her, I knew that you must know this woman. You're talking to each other with your own unique contact methods, am I right?"

Duan Hongsheng was completely stunned, whoever wanted to say that his wife was stupid would strangle that person to death.

She can analyze so many problems, who can say that she is stupid? I didn't expect her to be able to observe so subtlely, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Duan Hongsheng sat there embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer what his wife said.

"I just knew he was coming for you, because he knocked on the table too, and you saw that he was very nervous. I've never seen you so nervous in all these years, maybe he's the only one who makes you nervous. ”

Duan Hongsheng took a big puff of cigarette fiercely, he swallowed it all into his stomach and then spit it out.

"Yes, you're right. Sophie used to be my subordinate, and Murong Guang used to be my soldier. ”

"Huh. I already thought that Sophie had been to the store once two days ago, and she bought me a lot of clothes and food. If you were so nice to me just because you had dinner with them once, I wouldn't believe it. I could also see a different emotion in her eyes, and although she didn't say it, her intuition told me that she must know my brother. ”

Speaking of her younger brother, the second aunt's expression was a little painful, and her eyes began to fog.

"Hmm. You're right, Murong Guang and Sophie and Liang Ping used to be comrades-in-arms, and they were not only familiar but also very close. Especially Sophie, she has a closer relationship with Liang Ping than I do. ”

"I know that you and Liang Ping are special people who shoulder the mission of the country. Over the years, I never asked you about your life in the army, nor did I mention anything about my brother. I don't want you to make a mistake and not divulge state secrets. ”

Duan Hongsheng looked at his wife, and there was a look of disbelief on his face.

"The country is worthy of you, and it is worthy of my dead brother. After someone died, his family could be taken care of for more than 20 years. I know your salary, I have that salary, maybe my salary is not as high as yours, but I still receive it. But I never touched that money, because it was the money that my brother had bought with his life, and I could not afford to spend it, and I could not bear to spend it. ”

The second aunt's tears finally couldn't help falling, and Duan Hongsheng was shocked and hugged his wife tightly in his arms.

At this moment, he finally understood that his wife knew everything, but she had never said a word over the years.

"When you and I discussed donating that salary to poor children, I made up my mind to donate that money to the children as well. I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you, and then I went alone and donated the compensation salary that the state gave me. ”

"Wife, I didn't even know that you still had a salary subsidy for so many years, why didn't you tell me?" Duan Hongsheng said in a choked voice.

"That money shouldn't belong to me, I know it's the state's care for my brother's relatives. I never believed that my brother had died, I just thought he was on a special mission, and he hasn't come back yet, he's always been in my heart. ”

The second aunt murmured that she had always believed in this thought, which was the comfort in her heart.

"The old chief is here to do business in Dengzhou, he wants to see me, and by the way, he will also see you. When he saw that you and I were doing well, he was relieved. He didn't say anything, just told me to treat you well. ”

"Hmm. You have treated me very well all these years, Hong Sheng, I know that you really love me. But there are some things I never want to say to you, and it's really hard for you all these years. ”

"Wife, we have been together for so many years, don't say anything. I've never regretted it, and being with you is the greatest blessing of my life. ”

"Huh. I'm not as good as you say, I'm just an ordinary woman who can't be more ordinary. That's all I have for the rest of my life, to be a simple and ordinary rural woman. ”

"No, wife, you are not only extraordinary, but you are also a great woman. ”

Duan Hongsheng hugged his wife tighter, and he didn't want to let go.

Because once he lets go of his wife, she can see the tears on his face, and he doesn't want his wife to see the tears on his face.

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but it's not time to be sad.

There is no regret medicine in life, although today the old chief has been scolding himself and even despising himself.

But if he could choose again, Duan Hongsheng believed that he would still choose like this.

Maybe he lost his glory and wealth, maybe he missed the position of a high-ranking official, but he didn't regret it.

Because he did not betray his original intention, nor did he betray his oath, let alone betray the comrade-in-arms who saved him with his life.

He has not been materially rich in these years, but he feels that he is still very rich spiritually, at least he is happy and happy.

"Alas, forget it, I won't say anything at this age, if I am given another chance, I will not keep you by my side, which will delay your future. ”

"Wife, do you think I'm the kind of man who values fame and fortune? I just want to take you to a plain life. ”

"Hmm. I know this, if you are striving for fame and fortune, you will definitely be rich materially all these years, because you can do it easily as long as you want. ”

"You're right, as long as I raise my arms, at least my former subordinates will help me. If I want to get matter, it's even simpler. ”

"I know that you are trying to give me a peaceful life, to make me happy, to make me happy. My biggest regret is that I couldn't give you a child. ”

"Wife, there's nothing to regret about this. Although we didn't have children, we had a group of children. Jiang Yue, Jiang Yi These children are just like our children, they will definitely be filial and filial to us. ”

Hearing this, the second aunt had a smile on her face, because this group of children was really the same as her two children.

They talked a lot all night, and many things that they hadn't said before were said today.

Duan Hongsheng only knew at this time how forbearant his wife was, she had many secrets in her heart, and she never mentioned them to herself.

It's not that she doesn't trust herself, and she doesn't deliberately hide it, but she doesn't want to touch her pain.

Only now did he know how great his wife was, she was not an ordinary woman at all.

That night, they slept late.

It was not only Duan Hongsheng and his wife who couldn't sleep at night, but the old man didn't feel a little sleepy when he returned to the room.

He sat on the sofa for two hours, and for those two hours he was almost motionless like an old monk.

Seeing Duan Hongsheng today, he couldn't calm down anymore, because this person was a pain in his heart.

This is a soldier trained by himself, he was his best soldier back then, and now he actually opened a noodle shop.

He sent back six discharge reports, but in the end he let him go.

After letting him go, he regretted it immensely, and tried to recall him countless times, but he was ruthlessly refused.

Liang Ping's death in his arms hit him too hard, and at the same time he was a man with affection and righteousness, he fulfilled his promise and spent his life to protect Liang Ping's only relative.

Although he scolded him today, he felt more uncomfortable than anyone else when he came back.

This is the most proud disciple he has ever been, and it is also his pride. He can scold at will, and he doesn't dare to fight back, and he won't talk back.

After scolding, he was extremely distressed, and he believed that Duan Hongsheng must also understand his feelings.

"Chief, it's past eleven o'clock, you should have rested. ”

At this time, the secretary pushed the door in and said to the old man, but the old man sat there and still did not move.

The secretary didn't dare to urge again, he was afraid that the old man would suddenly get angry.

"You saw him today, right?"

"Yes, chief, he is much older than in the picture. ”

"You see a picture of him twenty-five years ago, can that be the same?" the old man smiled wryly.

"Yes, time flies really fast, twenty-five years have passed in a blink of an eye. But even though he hasn't been able to break his achievements for the past 25 years, he's a legend. ”

The secretary's face showed an expression of admiration, and he still admired Duan Hongsheng very much.

"A lot of it was secret, even top secret. If one day all of this is decrypted, you will know how good he really is. ”

"Chief, you mean what we see isn't all he has?" the secretary was a little surprised.

"Huh. How can you possibly know how many secrets there are in a man like him? All you see is a little scratch of the surface. Okay, let's not talk about these things, you go and rest, I'll rest right away. ”

"Yes, chief, I'll go out first. The secretary gave a military salute, then turned and walked out of the room.

Although the old man lay down on the bed, he could not really fall asleep, and even if he closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep, he still could not enter the dream.
