Chapter 124: The Iron Law
At this time, it was close to three o'clock in the morning, and a small courtyard in Huatian Township was still brightly lit, and there was no intention of turning off the lights and resting.
After Ye Jingyun left from the foot of Wulong Mountain, he came here on foot.
He stood at the door, snuffed out the cigarette he had not yet smoked, sorted out the police uniform on his body, straightened his police hat, and stepped forward to knock on the copper ring on the door.
The night was very quiet, and the sound of the copper ring knocking on the door was very abrupt and crisp in the lonely front and back of the house.
"It's coming~"
With the sound of footsteps from far and near in the courtyard, the door was opened from the inside.
"It's Uncle Ye, grandpa has been waiting for you in the house for more than half an hour~Come in~"
The one who opened the door was a teenage inch-haired young man, and after confirming his identity, he welcomed Ye Jingyun in, and then closed the door again.
The courtyard is a two-entry courtyard in the shape of a 'day', one into the gate house, and the other into the hall.
Ye Jingyun followed the young man past the gate house and walked towards the location of the hall, there were several bluestone tile houses on each side of the way, and there were two pairs of large and small stone locks on the ground, and the environment was very quiet and quiet.
"You are Xiao Wu~ I haven't seen you grow so big for so many years, and your grandfather mentioned you to me a short time ago. ”
On the way, Ye Jingyun and the young man chatted one by one, and the relationship gradually became familiar.
"Yes~ My big name is Zhao Huaiwu, and my uncle can call me Xiao Wu. ”
The young man was Zhang Shaonan's classmate, Zhao Yunlong's own grandson Zhao Huaiwu, who responded to Ye Jingyun's words with a smile.
"Uncle Ye, is there anything important that you came to find grandpa so late?"
"Well, there are some important things to tell your grandfather~"
Ye Jingyun was asked by Zhao Huaiwu's words, and his heart, which had just calmed down for a moment, set off waves again, and the strange pictures on Wulong Mountain began to shuttle and stir in his mind again.
"By the way, Xiao Wu, do you have regular contact with your school's name Zhang Shaonan?"
"He's my classmate, and the relationship is pretty good. ”
Zhao Huaiwu didn't know why Ye Jingyun suddenly asked Zhang Shaonan, but he still told him what he knew.
"Tsk~ Now he is the man of the year in our school~ Beat the school bully and chase the school flower, he is not tall but has a smart brain, and he has a great sense of justice. Uncle Ye, why did you suddenly ask about him, did something happen to him?"
Looking at Ye Jingyun, who was dressed in a police uniform beside him, Zhao Huaiwu, who felt that something was wrong, paid attention to it and asked quietly.
“..... Xiao Wu, listen to your uncle, it's best to keep your distance from him during this time. I can't tell you the specific reason, and my uncle won't hurt you, so you must remember my words, understand?"
After being silent for a few seconds, Ye Jingyun still decided to open his mouth and tell Zhao Huaiwu a few words, he was very worried about his safety, after all, he was the grandson of the old chief, and he was the meat of his heart.
"Got it, I will, Uncle Ye~"
Looking at Ye Jingyun, who suddenly straightened his face and admonished himself with a serious face, Zhao Huaiwu thought about it and nodded at him very seriously.
"Here, Uncle Ye, go in, I'll make some tea for the two of you. ”
While speaking, the two came to the door of the hall, and then the two separated, leaving Ye Jingyun standing in place.
"Report~"
After Zhao Huaiwu left, Ye Jingyun instantly stood up in a military posture and shouted loudly in the direction of the hall.
"Ye Jingyun, the former commander of the First Army Corps of the Haicheng Army, came to report~"
"Hahaha~"
A hearty laugh came from the hall, and then the door opened, and Zhao Yunlong appeared at the door.
"Stinky boy, I'm waiting for you, come in~"
Looking at Zhao Yunlong standing at the door, Ye Jingyun's eyes were a little moist, he reached out and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, nodded and walked into the hall, and then gently closed the door.
After turning around, the whole room came into his eyes, and he looked left and right carefully for a while.
Facing the door was a table of eight immortals, flanked by two red lacquered solid wood chairs, and a couplet on the wall behind the chairs.
"The worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the joy of the world, horizontal criticism: serving the people"
The room is divided into three spaces by two large bookshelves, the middle is the reception hall, and a desk can be seen through the bookshelf on the left, which should be Zhao Yunlong's usual office. There was a large long table on the right, and after Ye Jingyun carefully identified it, he found that it was a giant sand table, but he didn't know if it was used by his old chief to arrange troops in his spare time.
"Sit down, don't stand stupid~"
Zhao Yunlong, who was sitting on the left side of the main seat of the Eight Immortals Table, saw Ye Jingyun staring at the sand table in his inner room, and interrupted.
"I want to see, there is time. ”
"Well, old chief, you can't live in the middle of the sea city, but you want to come here to suffer this sin, why bother. ”
Ye Jingyun, who sat down in response, looked at the simple layout in the room and was a little puzzled.
"You kid knows a fart, Lao Tzu is just fed up with those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in Midtown, so he has only come here for a few years. What does it mean to be guilty, if you want to compare the living environment of the old revolutionary comrades of the previous generation, we are all enjoying the blessings of old age. ”
Hearing Ye Jingyun's words, Zhao Yunlong was very unhappy, and pointed at his nose and immediately taught him a lesson.
"Don't forget, the stars on your kid's shoulders are also made by those old revolutionaries with flesh and blood, do things for the people, don't break your heart for the sake of happiness. ”
"Old chief, look at you, are you in a hurry~ I just said it casually, and you will go online to educate me. If I let my little cubs know, they might laugh their big teeth off. ”
Ye Jingyun didn't expect his unintentional words to provoke Zhao Yunlong to be so angry.
"You're old and discouraged, I won't be able to talk about it in the future. ”
"Don't put on a show, fool Lao Tzu~ I originally wanted your kid to experience a few more years in this small place and quit your frizzy temperament, but for the sake of your kid's future, I still pulled down my old face and walked through the back door to add a star to your shoulder. ”
Looking at Ye Jingyun, who was already middle-aged in front of him, Zhao Yunlong didn't think that this kid could take up the position of deputy director of the city, not because he disliked him, but because he felt that he was not the material to be an official at all.
I always felt that Ye Jingyun was not pleasing to the eye when he stayed by his side as a big soldier, but now he is not pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, every time I see this kid, no matter what happens, I must educate him first.
"If you can't make some achievements, don't say it's Lao Tzu's soldiers when you go out in the future. ”
"Yes, the old chief~ promise to complete the task. ”
Hearing this, Ye Jingyun immediately got up, saluted a standard military salute, and made a promise.
"Don't be surprised, no matter how beautiful you say, it's not as good as a leaf of paper on Venus. When will Lao Tzu be able to see the glorious deeds of your kid in the newspaper, and when will it give me a real long face. Sit down and say~"
Zhao Yunlong waved his hand at him to sit down, then glanced at the door, and said to Ye Jingyun in a low voice.
"If you have a cigarette, bring me one~ Xiao Wu is strict, he doesn't even have a cigarette in his pocket, and he has been addicted to cigarettes for decades, and he is upset. ”
“.... Yes... Give~"
Looking at Zhao Yunlong's eyes looking at himself, Ye Jingyun's first reaction was a little dumbfounded, he had never seen the old chief look like this, and subconsciously took out the cigarette and the lighter from his pocket and handed them over.
"Good boy, it's not in vain that the military master has loved you for so many years, and you are still reliable at the critical moment. ”
Hurriedly took the cigarette, Zhao Yunlong praised Ye Jingyun without hesitation, and then got up and hurriedly ran towards the study.
Ye Jingyun, who heard this scene and saw it, was instantly messy and wanted to argue with him.
One second he taught Yan Shi earnestly, and the next second he was hungry and couldn't bear the old smoking gun, this contrast was absolutely shocking.
But when I saw the old chief of a generation of famous generals Zhao Yunlong, lighting a cigarette and closing his eyes and being intoxicated, he couldn't bear to interrupt. This is definitely the smoker's family has been out of food for a long time, just look at the fierce appearance of half a cigarette in one puff.
"This 'tutor' is a bit strict~"
Ye Jingyun looked at this scene and felt infinite emotion in his heart.
He used to be Zhao Yunlong's guard, when did he see him so wronged himself, he never left his gun and his cigarette. Now that he has wronged himself like this, it can be seen that he has spoiled his grandson to the point of madness. If he doesn't come tonight, he doesn't know how long the old chief will have to walk on the 'road of no return' of 'quitting smoking'.
As he struggled with whether he had made a mistake in handing the cigarette, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Then, Zhao Huaiwu walked in with a tea tray. He placed the tea tray on the central Eight Immortals table, turned around and asked with some confusion.
"Uncle Ye, why is it just you, where did my grandfather go~"
When Ye Jingyun heard this, he wanted to excuse his old chief, but the smoke curling from the study betrayed Zhao Yunlong's whereabouts.
Zhao Huaiwu, who turned around when he smelled the smoke, frowned, and walked into the study without waiting for Ye Jingyun to answer.
There was no obstruction, and on the spot, 'everyone was stolen and seized', and the criticism began.
"Grandpa, how many times have I told you, stop smoking, it's not good for your body. The doctor said that you are not fit to drink and smoke anymore, and I can ignore your drinking, but you promised me to quit smoking, how can you talk and not count?"
snatched Zhao Yunlong's 'crime tool' and snuffed it out, Zhao Huaiwu's expression of 'hatred of iron does not make steel' on his face made the military master blush and embarrassed for a while.
"Grandpa said that he wouldn't smoke it, but your Uncle Ye insisted that I try it, saying that this cigarette is different from other cigarettes. Originally, I didn't plan to smoke it, but he forced it on me, and he tempted me so hard that I barely tasted it. ”
Zhao Yunlong, who was like a baby who had made a mistake, sold his little soldiers in his 'inadvertent' 'confession', and from time to time glanced at Ye Jingyun to coerce and lure him, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
"Give~ Then you give me a show, how to taste a puff and smoke five cigarettes~"
Zhao Huaiwu, who obviously didn't believe his grandfather, took out five cigarettes from the cigarette box and handed them to his grandfather, with a wait-and-see expression.
“......”
Ye Jingyun, who was watching from the side, looked shocked.
I've seen the pit dad and the pit mother, and it's the first time he's seen it so fresh and refined.
"Good grandson~"
Zhao Yunlong, who knew that he was invincible, immediately changed his expression to be ready to change his past mistakes the moment he was defeated, ready to admit his mistakes.
"Grandpa ....."
"Stop~ It's useless to be cute, let's enforce discipline if we have discipline, this is a pit you dug yourself, grandpa, and you have to admit it." ”
Without waiting for Zhao Yunlong to finish speaking, Zhao Huaiwu interrupted him without saying anything, and took down a calligraphy and painting scroll from the shelf next to the desk.
Then, untie the tied rope, lift one end, and let it slowly roll down from the top to unfold.
When the scroll was unfolded, Ye Jingyun looked at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, these two grandparents and grandchildren were too strange.
————————————————————————————
"The Iron Rule of Quitting Smoking"
"From today on, I, Zhao Yunlong, swear that I will never smoke a cigarette again, and my grandson Zhao Huaiwu will supervise the enforcement of discipline. ”
"If you are caught smoking in the future, the following discipline will be imposed unconditionally. ”
"Smoke a cigarette, do a round of push-ups, a round of five hundred. ”
"Smoke two cigarettes, do two rounds of push-ups, a thousand"
"Three cigarettes, three push-ups, fifteen hundred"
And so on, adding one round of push-ups for each additional pump. ”
"If this discipline is violated, I, Zhao Yunlong, will quit smoking and drinking for life. ”
"If you know the law and break the law, the punishment will be doubled~"
Note: If there are special circumstances, it can be appropriately relaxed, and the condition is set at two cigarettes. ”
"Signature: Zhao Yunlong Zhao Huaiwu "
"Haicheng Era, 08/3/23"
——————————————————————————
"Grandpa, you only need to do 2,500, but you are obviously breaking the law, grandson, I can't cheat for personal gain, I can only strictly enforce discipline. ”
Zhao Huaiwu didn't care at all about the grandfather who was in cold sweat on his forehead and Ye Jingyun, who was stunned, and said righteously.
"An iron-clad camp needs iron-clad discipline~"
"Grandpa~Pose~"
"Five thousand push-ups, walk up~"
The room was silent for an instant, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing, beating the beat, waiting for the arrangement~
