Chapter 182: He Tells Her a Story
Chang An shrank on the ground, leaned against the bathtub with his back back, and sat on his knees, having changed into a hotel nightgown, and should have taken a shower.
Chen Haodong breathed a sigh of relief.
"How do you sit on the floor?" he asked.
The people on the ground seemed to move unconsciously, slowly raised their heads, their hair was still wet, but their faces were not as white as just now, and they had to be relieved after taking a hot bath, but their noses and eyes were red, I don't know if they had cried or been steamed by the heat.
"What's wrong?" Chen Haodong was a little flustered by Chang An's straight eyes.
Chang An pursed his wrinkled lips, and suddenly asked without warning: "Is Chen Zhichang your father?"
Hesitantly, a bucket of ice poured down.
Let him imagine 10,000 scenarios in which Chang An knows the truth over the years, and he thinks that he is fully prepared, but when she only asks such a question, Chen Haodong feels that he is a little unbearable.
"Get up first, it's too cold on the ground. ”
Chang An tilted his head and exhaled, "You're running away, aren't you?"
"Nope. ”
"Is that true?"
Thankfully, she could still make a little sound, but it was gritty, dumb.
Chen Haodong grinded his teeth.
"Chang'an ......"
You answer me. ”
"You get up first. ”
"Is it okay for you to answer me?"
She tilted her head and spoke carefully, neither crying nor making a fuss, but her eyes wet with heat were more like the blades of an open seal.
Chen Haodong swallowed his breath into his stomach, he knew that some things could not be hidden for a lifetime, but why did she only look at her heart as if she had been cut by a knife?
"Obedient, don't sit on the ground!"
But the people on the ground couldn't see the answer, and suddenly laughed.
Very weird laugh.
"You'll tell me the truth when I get up, won't you?"
Chen Haodong stiffened: "Yes!"
"That's good. ”
She propped herself up against the edge of the tub.
She felt that she might not be obedient enough for more than 20 years, or not kind enough...
"I'll get up, I'll get up, and you're going to tell me the truth...", muttering in his mouth, but the soles of his feet were soft, and the ground was slippery, and if he was not careful, he would fall again.
Chen Haodong hurriedly pulled it.
"I'm sorry. ”
“……”
She was still as polite and docile as she usually was.
Chen Haodong was about to be tortured by her and went crazy, dragging people to her side, she refused, he insisted, the two faced each other silently, and then in the end, her strength could not prevail.
"I'll carry you over!"
Chen Haodong bent down and took the person into his arms, Chang An lay softly on his arm, starting at the age of seven, now he is twenty-four years old, seventeen years......
Is she not well-behaved? Is she annoying? Or has she done something terribly wrong?
"Brother..."
Chang An pressed against his chest, all the way from the bathroom to the bedroom, his eyes were as soft as water, and there was no trace of resentment in his eyes.
Chen Haodong was about to crush his teeth, and every step he took seemed like despair, until he put the person in his arms on the bed.
Chang An adjusted a relatively comfortable posture, and his fingers were still pulling Chen Haodong's placket.
She was waiting, she was praying, and she was in a very humble posture to bear the truth that followed.
Chen Haodong pulled his T-shirt out of her hand little by little and wiped his face.
"Chang'an..."
The eyes of the people on the bed are soft.
She's waiting.
Chen Haodong lowered his head and gasped again.
"I..."
"Brother!"
God, it's better to end him with a knife.
Chen Haodong slowly moved his butt to the bed, leaving most of his back to Chang An.
Where do you start?
"My father and your father are comrades-in-arms, he had an accident in the army back then, and your father took me back, you should know this. ”
Chang An smiled weakly, when he was seven years old, Chang Wangde suddenly brought back a boy from outside, tall and thin, with dark skin, at first glance, he was a country child, but he couldn't stand his good-looking facial features, and he was always evil when he stared at people, and when he smiled, he showed a mouthful of white and neat teeth.
"I know your father had an accident in the army!"
Chang An also heard some news about this when he was a child, it seemed to be a live-fire exercise of the army, because of an accident, Chen Haodong's father was shot and died.
"Everybody thought it was an accident, including me when I was 11 years old, but it wasn't at all. Chen Haodong turned his head to look at Chang An, and suddenly changed his voice again: "Do you know how my father died back then? He was shot and died, and he was shot several times!"
Chang An's eyes showed a hint of horror.
"Will someone really get shot during the army exercise?"
"Yes, no one will really be shot in the exercise, because all bullets without warheads are used, but this kind of air-burst shell still has the lethality that can kill people within five meters, so the route will be planned in advance before the exercise, and the attacking side must not stray into the impact area, but my father's body was found in the impact area. ”
Chang An didn't believe it.
"Even if it's really like what you said, you can't judge that it's not an accident?"
"Yes, everyone thought it was an accident at the time, and so did the results of the team's investigation, so my father was posthumously named a martyr, but what about the reality? In fact, it was your father and He Zhaoxiong who teamed up to lead him into the bombing zone!"
Normally, there are very few casualties in exercises, but it is difficult to avoid bloodshed during large-scale military exercises, after all, if all military exercises are aimed at avoiding casualties, military exercises will not have any effect, so each military exercise actually has a number of deaths, as long as the number of deaths does not exceed the standard, this matter is not big news.
Chen Zhichang was also crowned a martyr for this purpose.
Chang An still didn't believe it.
"No, no reason, no reason, right?"
Why did Chang Wangde and He Zhaoxiong join forces to introduce Chen Zhichang into the bomb zone?
"There must always be a motive for harming people!"
"Motives, you can't know what your father is most greedy for!"
Chang An shook her head, what did she know? She really didn't know anything, but she vaguely seemed to understand something.
Chen Haodong continued: "There was a promotion quota in the team back then, and my father had the greatest possibility of going up, think about it, if he suddenly had an accident, who would this opportunity fall into?"
Chang An couldn't believe it.
"Brother..."
"After you listen to me, I don't rule out that my father's accident may also be his own negligence, but Chang Wangde and He Zhaoxiong must be inseparable, but they couldn't become a big tool back then, and if they dare to do something in this kind of thing, someone above must have instructed them. ”
Chang An, the person who instructed him, can basically guess it now.
"Sun Zhengdao?"
"Yes. ”
"But... Why?"
Chang An can't figure it out, someone who seems to be out of touch.
"Why?" Chen Haodong raised his hand and covered his eyes again, "Did I never mention my mother to you?"
yes, it really never seemed to be mentioned.
Chang An met Chen Haodong at the age of seven, and his parents were dead when he was admitted to Chang's house.
"Your mom is...?"
"Her name is Tan Meng!"
As the name suggests, Chen Haodong's mother is very beautiful, and she is an out-and-out beauty without powder in that era, and Chen Zhichang is from the same town, and she has known each other since childhood, and she is a childhood sweetheart.
At the age of about twenty, Chen Zhichang planned to enlist in the army, and before leaving, he made a private agreement with Tan Meng for life, but unfortunately Tan Meng found out that she was pregnant a month later.
In that era, it was already taboo for women to get pregnant before marriage, not to mention that Chen Zhichang was still in the army, and communication was inconvenient, so he could only rely on letters to contact, and when Chen Zhichang got the news, it was already a few months later, Tan Meng was forced to leave his hometown by gossip.
More than half a year later, she gave birth to Chen Haodong in Yunling, and after another year, Chen Zhichang finally got in touch with her.
The love in that era was different from now, Chen Zhichang took leave from the army overnight, and ran to Yunling and Tan Meng to get a marriage certificate, although there was no wedding and no pomp, but at least it was a name.
At that time, Chen Haodong was more than a year old, Chen Zhichang took a few days of marriage leave in Yunling, and asked someone to find a spare job for Tan Meng in the Archives Bureau, and soon returned to the army.
By chance, Tan Meng was favored by Sun Zhengdao, at that time Sun Zhengdao already had a little power in his hands, he was in his prime and high-spirited, thinking that it was impossible for the woman he fancied not to get, but Tan Meng was an exception, no matter how Sun Zhengdao coerced and tempted, she just bit her mouth and didn't let go, and Sun Zhengdao lost patience after a few times.
At that time, Chen Zhichang was in the army, and he couldn't come back twice a year, and it was useless to rely on correspondence to communicate.
Sun Zhengdao still used means to have a relationship with Tan Meng, with the first time, there was a second time, a third time, not only that, Sun Zhengdao also often used Tan Meng to maintain and win over other interests.
This deformed relationship was probably maintained for several years until it was finally discovered by Chen Zhichang.
No man can tolerate his wife having an affair with someone else, and there is more than one person who has a relationship, but Tan Meng has a hard time, her orphan and widow have no chance to resist and fight, it just so happened that at that time, Yu'an began to restructure, Sun Zhengdao operated from it, Tan Meng caught his handle and wanted to take the opportunity to denounce it, but how could his arm be twisted too much thigh.
Tan Meng died in a car accident, and the driver who caused the accident has not been found for so many years.
A few months later, Chen Zhichang had an accident in the army.
A year later, Chang Wangde was promoted, and since then, his career has been rising all the way.
Two years later, He Zhaoxiong was demobilized, went to the sea to do business, and with the help of the "connections" accumulated in the previous army, he did well in just a few years.
As for Sun Zhengdao, Yu'an has always been in his hands, and three years later, the restructuring was successful, but Xue Bing suddenly committed suicide, and soon Xue Bing's assistant Li Meiyu took the position, and was helped by Sun Zhengdao all the way to the later position.
Ups and downs, life and death, all living beings.
"You should know what happened next, and I don't need to repeat it. ”
Chen Haodong seemed to have spent half his strength to finish telling this story, so he was so bored that he wanted to go crazy, and felt for a cigarette from his trouser pocket, only to find that the box was already soaked inside.
He turned to look at the person on the bed, Chang An had already bent his legs and buried his face in his knees......
