Chapter 113: The Old Zhang Family in the Hutong
readx;? On this day, the street outside the Zhangjia Hutong compound was full of cars, leaving only an SUV just the distance it could pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Look at the license plate outside, but it is quite scary, there is a military license plate of the General Staff Military Affairs Department at the beginning of the military A, a military license plate of the General Political Cadre Department at the beginning of the military B, and a license plate at the beginning of Beijing V028, anyway, there is no car with an ordinary local license plate.
After all, this is an old Zhang family with eight generals, a veritable general!
Looking at his children and grandchildren walking around in the courtyard, the old man's eyes full of vicissitudes flashed a trace of wisdom, although he is nearly 100 years old, but he is not as dull as the ordinary old man, but he is full of energy, very vigorous, after all, this is the old man who has gone through the Long March, experienced the War of Resistance against Japan, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
A hero who has been wounded, shed blood, and made great contributions to the founding and growth of the republic!
The years have carved scars on the old man's body, leaving behind a dazzling brilliance, but in the end it cannot hide the fact that he is already an old man who is nearly 100 years old, like a tiger that has been twilight.
Looking at the full house of children and grandchildren, the old man never had a happy smile, his once most beloved little granddaughter, has not been home for a long time, except for the time when she came back from the New Year's dinner three months ago, she has not been home to see her stubborn grandfather for 18 years.
The old man's face sank like water, and he looked up at the moon hanging high in the sky, and his eyes that witnessed the republic's transformation from poverty to prosperity revealed a glimmer of hope: Xiumei...... It's time to come back and see my grandfather this time......
Back to the evening of a week ago, the old man's eldest grandson, Lieutenant General Zhang Yun, who is now the Minister of Military Affairs of the General Staff, called the old man into his room.
"Xiumei, is she still reluctant to come back to Lao Zhang's house?" the old man asked his middle-aged grandson in front of him. Eighteen years have already smoothed out his stubbornness as a grandfather, and what he hopes most now is that the family can sit happily and eat together, and more importantly, he doesn't want him to let his favorite little granddaughter return to the big family of Lao Zhang's family, instead of continuing to wander outside.
"Grandpa, Xiumei, she ...... Still so stubborn. I told her, but she still didn't seem willing to forgive Grandpa. It's just ......" Zhang Yun hesitated a little as he spoke.
"Just what?" asked the old man in his somewhat hoarse voice.
Zhang Yun bit his lip and said, "Grandson has news of Xiumei and Yuan Chun's son. ā
"In the Navy's South China Sea Fleet, right?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Yun was a little stunned and said, "Grandpa...... You know all about it?"
The old man shook his head with a smile and said: "Yun'er, don't think that grandpa is old, old eyes are dizzy, he doesn't know anything, grandpa not only knows that Yuan Chun and Xiumei's son is in the navy, grandpa also knows that Yuan Chun's little bastard is hiding in Daxinganling." ā
Listening to what his grandfather said, Zhang Yun raised his head to look at the old man's wrinkled face, and suddenly found that his grandfather was not old enough to that extent, it turned out that his grandfather knew everything......
Just when Zhang Yun was a little stunned, the old man said coldly: "Yuan Chun, that little bastard, thinks it's okay to hide there? The thing that delayed my granddaughter's youth for more than 20 years is not over! If he hadn't taught me a good great-grandson, I would have gone to settle accounts with his kid a long time ago!"
"Grandpa...... That's not what my grandson wants to say......" Zhang Yun bowed his head slightly, he also knew that in front of his grandfather, everything about him seemed to be hidden.
"Tell me, what do you want to say?" said the old man as he stared at Zhang Yun, his eyes full of wisdom as if he could see the latter through.
Zhang Yun muttered like a child who had done something wrong: "I seconded Xiumei's son to the General Staff, that is, to serve as a guard staff officer by my grandson's side......"
"Hmm...... It's your business, you can take advantage of it!" the old man nodded slightly, and then seemed to say to himself: "The children and grandchildren of the old Zhang family...... It's been a long time since we've eaten together, and we'll have a quick meal together in a week!"
The latter sentence is a reminder to Zhang Yun, and how could Zhang Yun not hear the meaning of his grandfather's words?
Grandpa wants to meet this great-grandson who he hasn't seen since he was born, but it's just for the sake of face, so it's hard to bring it up.
So Zhang Yun nodded hurriedly and said, "Grandpa, grandson, I'm going to inform my father, the second uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and my aunt and uncle." ā
"If your third uncle is busy with military affairs, he won't need to come. The old man didn't forget to advise.
"Yes, grandpa!" Zhang Yun responded.
So there is the current scene, as for whether Zhang Xiumei has come back, I won't mention it for the time being. Put the camera back to the Zhang family compound first.
The Zhang family's compound is full of people, lively and lively, compared to the past, but it is really a heaven and a place, just because today the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family are back. Except for the third child in the second generation of the Zhang family, all those who can come back have returned.
The old man's eyes were always on the other side of the door, he was waiting, waiting for the eldest grandson Zhang Yun to come back.
"Dad, what are you looking at?" a middle-aged and elderly man who looked like he was sixty years old looked at the old father in front of him and asked, his face was a little pale, maybe it was a stubborn illness accumulated after many years of work!
"You're not in good health, sit down!" said the old man to the fourth son in front of him.
"Oh. The pale-faced fourth brother, supported by his wife, staggered forward, without the slightest loss of his majesty and domineering spirit when he was still a general in the four headquarters.
ā¦ā¦
It is said that Yuan Mian drove Zhang Yun to the alley where the Zhang family compound was located alone, looking at the cars around him that were full of military or government license plates, Yuan Mian was careful when he drove, he was afraid that he would rub into those cars with a deep background, for fear that because of one of his own carelessness, it would bring some trivial things to the chief that would affect his mood.
"Drive over there, don't be so careful. Zhang Yun said impatiently.
"Yes...... Yes, chief!" Yuan Mian said a little nervously, but his expression was still nervous, after all, Chief Zhang was in a high position, so he was naturally not afraid of offending people because of this little thing, but Yuan Mian was different, he was just a mountain man with no foundation, and it must be better to have less than more.
After all, if you offend someone, you won't have a good time, right?
Soon, the car stopped near the entrance of a compound, and near the door were some military B, military C, and Beijing cars, the more you know the meaning behind these license plates, the more careful you have to be when you pass by.
After parking, not long after, Yuan Mian saw the figure of an acquaintance - Major General Aunt Zhang......
No matter how stupid Yuan Mian is, he should have guessed the terrifying background of Chief Zhang Yun: Aunt Zhang's surname is Zhang, and the chief's surname is also Zhang, will they be a family?
With this doubt, Yuan Mian followed closely behind Chief Zhang Yun and asked, "Chief, why don't you just wait in the car for you to eat well." ā
"Let's go in together!" the chief replied casually.
"But ......," Yuan Mian said, interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"No, but, carry out the order!" Chief Zhang Yun's words were full of non-refusal.
āā¦ā¦ Yes, chief!" As he spoke, Yuan Mian followed closely behind Chief Zhang, for fear of losing it.
After all, for Yuan Mian, a mountain baby, in addition to the news broadcast, this is the first time to see so many big people, and it is normal to be a little nervous.
