Chapter 15: Smile and be relieved

After the award, Chen Jing was in a very good mood, and took Ji Zhang and the two to a restaurant to treat these two little heroes.

And Ji Zhang and the others rarely ate delicious food, and they were not polite at all.

During the banquet, Chen Jing suddenly remembered something, and said to the two: "By the way, I almost forgot, someone will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”

"Pick us up?" the two were a little confused for a moment.

"That's what I told you last night, your relatives in the provincial city. ”

"At noon today, the county called again to talk about this. ”

"And I have been told a thousand times that I must bring the words. ”

"I only know that these two relatives of you are big officials in the provincial capital, but who it is, do you know?" Chen Jing was also a little curious.

"Teacher, we don't even know about this, we still got this news from you. Zhang Mingyang hurriedly said.

Ji Lianzhong also smiled, and then said: "Teacher, don't be embarrassed for the two of us, we really don't know that there are relatives in the provincial capital."

"If you want to count relatives, I only know that Zhang Xianwei, the fourth uncle of Mingyang, teaches at Xijing Jiaotong University. Jilian frowned.

"That's right! I only know that my fourth uncle teaches at Xijing Jiaotong University, and during the time I came to Xijing for the exam, he was sent to the imperial capital, and I didn't see him. Zhang Mingyang agreed.

"Who is that, with such a big face?" Chen Jing frowned.

"Oh, by the way, it's probably grandpa's relationship, maybe grandpa's comrade-in-arms or something. Zhang Mingyang's heart moved.

Ji Lianzhong interjected: "Don't think about it, won't you know when you see you tomorrow?"

"Hah, yes, what's the use of us talking about this here? Chen Jing laughed heartily.

After a full meal, several people returned to the dormitory in the night.

Early the next morning, Ji Zhang and the others were woken up by Chen Jing.

It turned out that the car that picked them up arrived.

The two hurried to wash up and got into a jeep with a great sense of the times at the door of the dormitory.

They were picked up by a man in his early thirties.

The car reporter asked curiously: "Uncle, who wants to see us?"

Han Geng, who was driving, smiled: "Children, don't you know this?"

"The one who wants to see you is Secretary Li Jingtao of our provincial political and legal committee!"

“???”

Ji Zhang and the two were stunned, showing surprised expressions.

Although the head teacher said last night that he was a big official with a very hard background, when did their family have relatives with such a relationship?

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two, Han Geng began to patiently explain to them.

"Actually, your grandfather was a subordinate of Secretary Li Jingtao, so you have a deep relationship. ”

"I heard that the relationship between them was not good for some reason. ”

"It just so happened that you came to the provincial capital to participate in the mathematics league this time, and after Mr. Yang Xiaohua, the wife of Secretary Li Jingtao, found out, he worked hard to match, and this is the fate of meeting you. “

"So that's the case!" Zhang Mingyang suddenly understood.

Then the two knocked on the side again, and also learned more about the story of grandpa.

And Chen Geng was also asked by the two children, and his head was a little big.

Chen Geng thought to himself: "These two children are too good to ask." ”

Soon, the car stopped in front of a quaint ancient building within the ancient city wall of Xijing City.

"It's here, get out of the car!" Chen Geng said with a smile.

Ji Zhang and the two got out of the car quickly and stood at the door.

Chen Geng then knocked on the door.

After a while, an old woman with gray hair came out of the door.

"Hello Mr. Xiaohua! I brought the two children safely. Chen Geng said with a smile.

Yang Xiaohua looked at Ji and Zhang on the side.

"Like, what a look!"

"You are Zhang Mingyang!" Yang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Mingyang and said.

"Hello grandma! I'm Zhang Mingyang: Zhang Mingyang said obediently.

"I didn't expect Xiaojun's grandchildren to be so old. ”

"Mingyang! Don't call me grandma, call me grandma. Yang Xiaohua covered his mouth and smiled.

Then he looked at Ji Lianzhong: "Xie Min's grandson is also so old." ”

Ji Lianzhong and Zhang Mingyang hurriedly shouted: "Grandma is good!"

"Good boy, quick, come in, go inside. Yang Xiaohua held one in one hand and led Ji Zhang and the two into the house.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something again, he turned to Chen Geng and said, "Xiao Geng, you go first! Remember to bring Lao Li back at noon." ”

Chen Geng hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiaohua!"

Entering the house and sitting down, Yang Xiaohua kept asking how the parents of the two were and how their grandparents were doing?

The two also answered truthfully.

"I haven't seen each other for so many years, and the people of the East are full of children and grandchildren. Yang Xiaohua fell into memory.

"Grandma, haven't you seen me and Lian Zhong's grandparents for a long time?" Zhang Mingyang asked.

"yes, I haven't seen you in 35 years. Yang Xiaohua's voice was a little gloomy.

"What?" Ji Zhang and the two glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

Seeing that the two didn't believe it, Yang Xiaohua told such a story.

"It was still during the Anti-Japanese War, when your great-grandfather Li Jingtao worked hard for the ideals in his heart, and later met the grandfathers of the two of you: Zhang Dongfang and Ji Jiemin. ”

"At that time, your grandfather was still a little child, but in fact, his real age was only fourteen years old, and he lied that he was an adult at the age of eighteen, and he was going to follow your grandfather to make a revolution. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaohua couldn't help but smile.

Ji Zhang and the two suddenly had such a picture in their minds: "Two little children stood in front of an adult and vowed to "engage in revolution and resist the Japanese". ”

I couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Yang Xiaohua continued to tell.

"So at that time, your grandfather strongly disagreed, but these two boys were troublemakers, and they often ran to the Fusang people to do things while everyone was not paying attention, which also gave your grandfather a headache. ”

"But don't say it, these two people have good brains, and they often do some things that we can't do, and the two of them have made a lot of contributions because of this. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaohua took a sip of water, and then continued: "What impressed me the most was that once, the troops were in an extremely dangerous situation, and they ran out of ammunition and food, and your grandfather was also seriously injured and his life was in danger at that time. ”

"Later. It was your grandfather who risked his life to divert the enemy and pull the troops and your grandfather back from the door of death. ”

The two of them were shot several times, but fortunately they were clever and hid in a mass grave to escape. ”

"When they came back, their clothes were in tatters, and the blood was crusted over, and it was a terrible thing. Saying that, Yang Xiaohua's eyes were filled with tears.

"Later, the army accepted them unusually, joined the party, and then they were always led by your grandfather, and the three of them were also teachers and friends. Yang Xiaohua sighed.

"Then why haven't grandpa and grandpa seen each other for 35 years?" Ji Lianzhong said curiously.

"Alas. Yang Xiaohua's face darkened.

"That's another story, when Huaguo was just founded, and what happened to our youngest daughter, Li Jun, who is now Mingyang's grandmother. ”

"Your grandfather is a conservative person, and he had a baby kiss when Xiaojun was born, but who knew that he would have a relationship with Dongfang later. ”

"At that time, Dongfang was only 19 years old, Xiao Jun was only 17 years old, and the two of them were pregnant unmarried, the impact was particularly bad, and your grandfather was very angry when he found out. ”

"And your grandfather didn't know the situation, he was so angry that he beat and scolded the two, which also caused Zhang Mingyang's father to become a premature baby. ”

Fortunately, Xianliang has nothing to do, but Mingyang's grandfather and grandmother are very concerned in their hearts, so they often quarrel with the family later. ”

"Often it is a small contradiction that evolves into a big contradiction and finally becomes irreconcilable. ”

"Once there was a quarrel over a trivial matter, coupled with some previous contradictions, it finally broke out, and your grandfather said: severing the father-daughter relationship, this contradiction directly caused Mingyang's grandfather and grandmother to be disheartened, and then left home. ”

After that, the two families never interacted again. After that, Yang Xiaohua's face was full of sadness.

And that's 35 years. ”

"Because your grandfather is an upright and stubborn man, and his daughter and student are also the same stubborn people, both sides are too stubborn, which led to a misunderstanding that lasted so long. Yang Xiaohua shook his head and sighed bitterly.

Hearing this, Ji Zhang and the others also regretted that the family with He Meimei had not met for decades because of a misunderstanding, which was a pity and a pity.

"However, why did my grandfather's relationship with my grandfather deteriorate later?" Ji Lianzhong said suddenly.

"I don't know if you've heard the saying that Ji Zhang doesn't separate his family? ”

"After Dongfang and Xiaojun left sadly, Xie Min was very angry and often questioned your grandfather, your grandfather is a man who eats soft and does not eat hard, and he is often hard, which leads to frequent unhappy breakups. ”

"Later, the war between the two Koreas broke out, and Xie Min took his troops to the front line, but it was also this war that the contradiction between your grandfather and Jingtao in Lianzhong expanded. ”

"On the battlefield, because of Xie Min's negligence, the child of one of your grandfather's good comrades-in-arms was killed. ”

"When the news came, your grandfather was extremely sad and thought that he was sorry for his comrades-in-arms, so he even relieved the people with resentment. ”

Xie Min also felt extremely guilty, and for multiple reasons, Xie Min finally left and returned to his hometown silently, which was more than 30 years. ”

"This is the story of your grandfather and your grandfather. ”

"Who would have thought that the indestructible teacher-student relationship would finally happen to this point? "I thought in the center.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains, I heard that you two have very good results in this league!" Yang Xiaohua asked the two of them after packing up their mood.

The two replied modestly again.

Then chatted for a while, Yang Xiaohua saw that the time was not early, so he went to cook, and the two of them rarely helped well-behaved.

The time was fast, and it turned to noon.

At noon, Li Jingtao returned home.

In fact, he had thought a lot about it since his wife had told him about it that day, and he was very happy when the secretary told him in the morning that the two children had arrived at home.

How many years have passed, although I haven't seen those two bastards and the uncompetitive daughter again, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?

Over the years, he has actually been fighting for that tone, but he has forgiven them in his heart.

Walking into the house with excitement and watching the two well-behaved children sitting on the sofa, a kind smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Li Jingtao's mouth.

But he still held the shelf, and when he approached, he said lightly: "It's here!"

The two nodded. ”

In fact, as soon as Ji Zhang and the others saw Li Jingtao, they felt that their grandfather had an indescribable momentum, giving people a sense of peace and harmony, which made people feel very upright.

When the meal was served, the family sat at the table, and Li Jingtao said, "Let's eat!"

After moving the chopsticks, the other three began to eat.

During the banquet, Li Jingtao quietly asked about the situation in their family over the years.

This made Ji Lianzhong keenly feel that this grandfather was not so unkind.

This meal, without any waves, ended in a dull situation.

After dinner, Ji Zhang and the two followed their grandfather Li Jingtao to the courtyard.

The sunlight shines through the shade of the trees, and the stars are dotted, which is quite a feeling.

The three of them chatted briefly in the courtyard parents.

Under the deliberate guidance of Ji Lianzhong, the topic successfully turned to the incident back then.

Because Ji Lianzhong listened to what his grandmother said, he always had an idea in his heart to create a chance for the two generations to be relieved.

Because Ji Lianzhong knows that there is nothing and contradictions that cannot be solved by communication, a misunderstanding has caused so much damage now, even if both parties were at fault back then, it has been more than 30 years, and some things should be put down.

How can there be so much hatred between relatives?

But Ji Lianzhong knew how to go from shallow to deep, and he didn't suddenly say that he was relieved.

After all, Grandpa Tai is a face-saving person in terms of personality.

So I first mentioned the relationship between grandpa and them back then.

Then ask about what they experienced together back then.

Slowly, the corners of Li Jingtao's eyes were a little moist, and Ji Lianzhong brought his grandfather into his rhythm step by step.

Pick up the stick of affection, and then supplement it with some of the hardships that grandpa once told him.

As he spoke, Ji Lianzhong also left tears unconsciously, and he was also moved by the stories of the older generation.

And Zhang Mingyang is also extremely smart, and then Ji Lianzhong's words are also narrated.

First of all, how did grandpa say about grandpa's heroic deeds back then, how good a person he was, and how grandma commented on it......

After a long time, Li Jingtao looked into the distance, as if recalling the time when they were also teachers and friends, and tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously.

"Maybe I was really wrong about that back then. Li Jingtao muttered in a low voice.

"Lao Li, we are all at this age, we still can't let go of the past, are we so persistent? We have been obsessed for so many years, and it is time to break through the obsession. I don't know when, Yang Xiaohua also came to the courtyard.

"Back then, if we all took a step back, it wouldn't be like this now, we are just like the people of the East now, full of children and daughters, Chenghuan knees, how can it be like now that the family has never been completely reunited?" Yang Xiaohua sobbed in a low voice.

"Yes, grandpa, can you forgive my grandparents and Lian Zhong's grandfather?" Zhang Mingyang said with a look of hope.

"Yes, grandpa, what Ming Yang said is right, in fact, grandparents have long been relieved. ”

"At that time, my father was also like them back then, and the family objected to the marriage, and the trouble was also very stiff. ”

But in the end, my grandfather let my parents make their own decisions, and although the relationship between my father and grandfather is relatively stiff now, it is still a harmony and beauty, and they often get together at home. Zhang Mingyang on the side gave an example.

"Grandpa, these are what we have seen and heard with our own eyes, and grandpa has also told us. Ji Lianzhong added.

"By the way, once I was at my grandfather's house, and I heard my grandfather sleeping and talking in his sleep, as if he was very grateful to the "righteous teacher" back then?"

Zhang Mingyang suddenly heard this in his head, and he was also busy saying it.

In an instant, Li Jingtao was stunned.

"Teacher Zhengqi. ”

This is exactly the nickname that those two little ghosts gave themselves back then.

At this time, Yang Xiaohua also took out a yellowed black and white photo.

"Look, this is the only picture of the three of you when you first met, and how young you were then. ”

"Look at it now, the people of Dongfang Reconciliation are almost fifty-three years old, and you are also seventy years old this year, will those wrong things continue to be wrong?

Listening to his wife Xiaohua's questioning, Li Jingtao took the photo in his hand with trembling hands and looked at it for a long time.

Then Li Jingtao whispered in a hoarse voice: "Let Xiao Geng ask me for a leave, you guys go first!"

waved them all three away.

Grandma Tai still wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by Ji Lianzhong, he knew that Grandpa Tai just needed to think about it again and calm down.

Time passed minute by minute, and three hours later, Li Jingtao's voice came.

The three of them walked in and looked, Li Jingtao's eyes were a little red and swollen at this time, but his mental energy had changed in a new way.

Li Jingtao smiled: "I looked back on this life and found that I had done some right things, but I also did some wrong things, but in the end, I found that my life was perfect with my family." ”

"I am grateful that I met Xiaohua, I am grateful for the revolution I experienced when I was young, I am grateful for the love that my children have for me, and of course, I also miss Dongfang Hehemin and my daughter Li Jun. ”

"I think that I have been angry for so many years just for my own face, but I don't know that what I lost was the most precious thing, or after you reminded me, I knew that I was really wrong. ”

Zhang Mingyang saw that his grandmother heard this, and tears came down as soon as he brushed up.

"Xiaohua don't cry, tell the children, next weekend, the family will be reunited. Li Jingtao smiled loudly.

Ji Lianzhong looked at Grandpa's warm smile at this time, he knew that he had figured it out.

This smile is relieved after all, although this relief is thirty-five years late.
