Chapter 30 Recognition of Relatives
After dinner, Zhang Wei followed his parents to Yang Zhifeng's house.
Fortunately, my father sent rice once, and I roughly remembered where Yang Zhifeng's house was, although I searched for a while, I finally found it.
At night, at the door of Yang Zhifeng's house.
A family of three stood at the door with different expressions, Zhang Wei looked calm, as if the Yang Zhifeng he was about to see was not a big man in the city, but an ordinary grandfather next door, which was also thanks to the fact that the information explosion in later generations had too wide a wide range of knowledge, so unless he was particularly high-powered, he would not be moved.
Cheng Lin, who was holding a small box of lychees, was a little frightened, and Zhang Aiguo, who was carrying cigarettes and alcohol, looked a little apprehensive, they didn't feel anything before they knew Yang Zhifeng's identity as a senior official, but now they couldn't help but be a little in awe.
Knock knock.
Zhang Wei saw that his parents were still hesitating, and took the initiative to knock on the door.
Yang Zhifeng's voice came from inside: "Who? Wait a while, I'll open the door immediately." ”
"Grandpa Yang, it's me and my parents. Zhang Wei shouted.
Squeak.
The door opened, and Yang Zhifeng appeared in front of everyone like an old uncle next door, touched Zhang Wei's head with a smile, and said, "This kid." ”
He likes Zhang Wei's child from the bottom of his heart, mainly because Cheng Lin and Zhang Wei look like his late wife.
Generally speaking, people of Yang Zhifeng's level live in the compound of the municipal party committee, but he still likes to live in his own home, after all, there are memories of him and his late wife.
This is also the reason why he repeatedly helped Zhang Wei's family.
"Yang... Uncle. Zhang Aiguo hesitated for a while, but finally didn't think of a better name.
Cheng Lin also shouted.
Yang Zhifeng had a smile on his face: "Come on, come on, come in and sit." ”
Zhang Wei followed his parents in, Cheng Lin and Zhang Aiguo glanced at each other, and then put the things down.
"What are you doing here? Yang Zhifeng was a little dissatisfied when he saw the delivery and said, "I received the idea, and I will bring it back later." ”
"Uncle, thank you really today. Zhang Aiguo was a little nervous: "It's nothing, a little thought." ”
"Yes, yes, you can take it, otherwise we won't be able to sleep well. Cheng Lin followed.
Zhang Wei looked at Yang Zhifeng's house, the house is not very big, it is estimated that it is only seventy or eighty square meters at most, two bedrooms and one living room, if a family of three lives it may seem crowded, but Yang Zhifeng seems to live alone, it is more than enough.
In the innermost part of the hall, there is an incense case, a clean copper incense burner in the middle of the two candles, and behind the incense burner is a posthumous photo, in the photo is a fifty or sixty-year-old woman, with an amiable face, but Zhang Wei is a little familiar no matter how she looks, this woman looks a little similar to her mother, and her grandmother is even more similar, Zhang Wei has looked like her mother since she was a child, and the woman on this posthumous photo has a seven-point resemblance.
"I took the fruit and took back the cigarettes and wine. Yang Zhifeng's attitude is very resolute.
Seeing that his parents were a little embarrassed, Zhang Wei came back to his senses and said, "Parents, put away the cigarettes and alcohol." He already had a vague premonition that the woman in the posthumous photo might be related to his own family.
Yang Zhifeng poured tea for the three of Zhang Wei's family, and took out a bottle of Jianlibao from the refrigerator and gave it to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei's family hurriedly thanked him.
Yang Zhifeng looked at Zhang Wei lovingly, and said softly: "I heard that your accent is also from that part of Jiangbei, where is your hometown?"
Zhang Wei took a sip of Jianlibao, this drink is no longer visible in later generations, another era item, he said: "Grandpa Yang, our family is Haitong." ”
"Yo, you are also from Haitong?" Yang Zhifeng suddenly became interested: "Where is Haitong?"
Zhang Wei had already noticed it, and he was not surprised at all, listening to this tone, he just completely confirmed that Yang Zhifeng was also from Haitong.
"Haitong is a strong township. Zhang Aiguo said.
Yang Zhifeng's eyes were even brighter, and he said, "It's very close to my hometown." ”
"I don't know where your hometown is?" Cheng Lin said.
"As for Siyi Town next to Minqiang, Yangjia Village knows, right?"
"You know, I have a relative over there. Cheng Lin said thoughtfully: "My cousin married over there." ”
"What's your cousin's name, maybe I still know her!"
Yang Zhifeng's gaze fluctuated slightly.
Cheng Lin thought for a while: "It seems to be called Zhou Qin or something, I haven't seen it before, listen to what my mother said." ”
"Zhou Qinmei?" Yang Zhifeng's voice trembled a little.
"Yes, that's it. Cheng Lin said a little embarrassedly: "I married her before I was born, and then the family moved away, and I also heard my mother say it by chance." ”
"What's your mother's name?" Yang Zhifeng stared at Cheng Lin.
Zhang Wei really didn't know that there was such an aunt, but he was very sure that the woman on the posthumous photo was likely to be Zhou Qinmei, that is, his aunt-in-law.
"Grandpa Yang, my grandmother's name is Zhou Qinlan. "This Zhang Wei knows.
"Unexpected!" Yang Zhifeng let out a long breath: "Xiaowei, it's not wrong for you to call me grandpa two days ago, my deceased old woman and your grandmother are cousins." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Aiguo and his wife were surprised.
Zhang Wei had a guess before, so he wasn't surprised, but he felt a little weird, after experiencing the chengguan incident, he actually found a relative who was a big official, and the most important thing is that this relationship is not far away, it can be regarded as within five suits.
Yang Zhifeng slowly explained, he came to work in the magic capital after he got married decades ago, and the family left his homeland, plus his parents died early, and there were no relatives in the family, so he rarely returned to his hometown.
When Zhou Qinmei was alive, she would occasionally go back during the New Year's holidays, but Yang Zhifeng was busy with official business and rarely went back, and even Yang Zhifeng helped Yang Zhifeng sit on the bank president of Zhang Wei's uncle and grandfather.
"When the old woman died, I didn't want to work hard to mobilize the people, so I called her brothers and sisters, no wonder I haven't seen you. Yang Zhifeng sighed.
"No wonder my mother came to the magic capital one year, I just got married at the time, and I didn't come with me. Cheng Lin said.
Zhang Wei then understood why he hadn't seen this aunt's family, it turned out that she hadn't been born when she died!
"I don't blame you, I was not good at the time, and no one in the juniors shouted. Yang Zhifeng waved his hand and said, in fact, it was not that he didn't want to shout, but he didn't want the juniors to know that there was a relative like him who was a big official, when Zhang Wei's uncle and grandfather begged him, he also wanted to refuse, but they were all family, and he couldn't refuse at all.
As an upright official, what Yang Zhifeng is most afraid of is that his relatives begged to come over, and he didn't want to help, but he couldn't help it, so he didn't let the juniors come to the funeral.
After recognizing their relatives, Zhang Wei's family and Yang Zhifeng's sense of alienation dissipated a lot, and an hour passed quickly.
Yang Zhifeng suddenly said, "Did Xiaowei go to school?"
"Grandpa, I haven't gone to school yet, and I'm not old enough to be five years old!" Zhang Wei replied.
"Five years old is enough, start with kindergarten, I'll help you ask these days, just go to kindergarten around here. Yang Zhifeng said.
Although Zhang Wei didn't want to go to kindergarten, he couldn't ignore his aunt's kindness, so he had to say, "Thank you, grandpa." ”
Zhang Aiguo and his wife also hurriedly thanked him.
"It's late, so we won't disturb your rest. Zhang Aiguo said.
Yang Zhifeng didn't stay, stood up and sent the family to the door: "You guys, come and sit when you have time." ”
"Okay, Grandpa. Zhang Wei immediately agreed, and he didn't refuse at all if he could increase his relationship with this aunt and grandfather.
Zhang Aiguo and his wife also agreed, but they didn't dare to believe it, after all, such a big official was there.
Who knew that Yang Zhifeng was sincere: "I am free this Sunday, and then your family of three will come over for a meal." ”
Zhang Wei was also completely relieved, this aunt and grandfather sincerely recognized his own family as a relative, and this was also thanks to what happened to the chengguan, otherwise how could he recognize such a relative? Although he still didn't know what kind of official position his aunt and grandfather were.
Seeing that his parents were still a little flattered and speechless, Zhang Wei said: "When the time comes, my parents and I will definitely come over, and my aunt and grandfather will see you again." ”
The family was very excited, and the parents were discussing how to make more money, after all, it was much more expensive to go to kindergarten in Modu than Haitong.
Zhang Wei thought differently from them in his heart, perhaps, he would go to kindergarten in a while, but no matter what, this time he recognized Yang Zhifeng's relative because of misfortune, and his family will have a foundation in the magic capital in the future, and he will no longer have to worry about official affairs.
