Chapter 18 [Old Man Jiang]

It was inconvenient for Shi Weixian to tell him too much, after all, he was still in the city hall, and the partition wall had ears, so he just said again: "There is a meeting here, you should hurry home to rest when you come out of the hospital, and your Uncle Zhang also said that he would go home to see you." β
The meaning is obvious, he is telling Shi Lei that Zhang Tongxun and he have something to say to Shi Lei, but he doesn't have time now, I'm afraid he won't be able to talk about it until he goes home in the evening.
Shi Lei hung up the phone, looking ahead with blank eyes, constantly pondering in his heart. Why did Zhao Yida take the blame? Don't he know that at the least, this is also a crime of dereliction of duty, and this secretary will definitely not be able to do it. And if the trouble is not good, it is not impossible to sentence a manslaughter, then it depends on whether there is someone above to protect him.
didn't think too much, Jiang Fengyue had already parked the car on the side of the road, and seeing that Shi Lei was still in a daze, Jiang Fengyue said very unhappily: "Hey, it's here, don't want to lie in my car!" β
Shi Lei came back to his senses, returned the phone in his hand to Jiang Feng, and stepped out of the car.
It is a small alley that seems to be not far from Nakago Park, and it is a place that the locals call a small street. Shi Lei doesn't have much impression of this place, but he vaguely remembers that the road is paved with big bluestone, and the ground seems to be wet forever if it doesn't rain. The narrow alleys are longitudinal and horizontal, and there are probably dozens of small alleys in this area.
After following Jiang Fengyue, walking for about ten minutes, passing through at least four or five alleys, Shi Lei followed her into a house that looked rather cramped, next to a small courtyard with a single family. This house is more appropriate to be built illegally than a home. After entering the house, after observing it, Shi Lei estimated that there were only about 20 square meters at most, but it was divided into two floors, and the furnishings in the house were extremely simple.
In the middle of the room is a chest of drawers, on which is a black-framed photograph of a man and a woman snuggling up to each other. There was a small incense burner in front of the photo, and Shi Lei suddenly remembered that Jiang Fengyue and the old man seemed to be dependent on each other, and never mentioned the old man's children, Jiang Fengyue's parents. In this way, it seems that the two have been dead for many years.
"When I was very young, my parents died in a car accident, and my grandfather pulled me up." Speaking of this, Jiang Fengyue's mood was a little gloomy, not like a little pepper for the first time, but like a pitiful little chick.
Shi Lei nodded silently and didn't say anything, and then Jiang Fengyue's voice rose: "Grandpa, Shi Lei is here." β
It is said to be upstairs, but it is actually an attic, but it is an old building in the past, and the building is more than five meters high, which is about the same as the current jump. On the wooden floor, there was a sound of rustling, and soon, the figure of the old man appeared at the top of the staircase.
Seeing Shi Lei, the old man's face showed a little smile, and he walked down steadily: "Young man, is this girl pulling you over as a lobbyist?" β
Shi Lei smiled, it seems that this old man is like a mirror in his heart, and he can't hide anything from him. It's okay, Shi Lei is also worried about how to speak, which gives Shi Lei the best way to speak.
"Now that the old man knows, then I will save myself a circle."
The old man went down the last step of the stairs, waved his hand and waved Jiang Fengyue's hand to support him: "It's useless for you to find this young man, I want to bury this old bone here, and I don't want to move." Immediately, he looked at Jiang Fengyue, who was standing aside, and said in a not very good tone: "What are you still doing stupidly?" Don't you pour tea when you pick up guests? β
Jiang Feng made an appointment in front of the old man, as if he had seen a cat and a mouse, and he didn't dare to come out, so he hurriedly lowered his head to take the teacup, put the tea leaves, and picked up the water bottle, but found that there was no boiling water.
Shi Lei hurriedly said: "Don't be busy, I'll talk to the old man." β
The old man insisted: "Don't care, let her be busy, isn't this what women's families do." β
Jiang Fengyue also hurriedly said: "You talk to grandpa, I'll go to the opposite water room to fetch water." β
Shi Lei then remembered that before entering the door just now, there seemed to be a strange faΓ§ade diagonally opposite, and above a few small faucets, there was a big boiler, which should have only existed in the past, but in this residential area full of alleys, it was still preserved.
Jiang Feng made an appointment, and the old man gave Shi Lei a seat and said, "I haven't seen the water room on the other side for many years, right?" That's why I don't want to go to the provincial capital, no matter how good the golden nest is, it's not as good as my own rotten kennel. I didn't want to ask about that incident in the morning, but when I heard that someone had died, I went anyway. Alas, what a beautiful landscape, but what kind of playground to change, in the future, we old things, there will be less places to bask in the sun and idle white. β
Shi Lei laughed with him: "The main body of Zhonghou Park is still there, but it's a pity that half of Zhonghou Mountain is gone." And, old man, with all due respect, the biggest reason why you don't want to go to the provincial city to live with your granddaughter is probably not because you can't live without this place, right? β
The old man was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled: "Hehe, you little guy." Your name is Shi Lei, right? Old man, my name is Jiang Bosheng. Uncle Ji's uncle, the life of life. β
Shi Lei didn't know how to pick up the old man's words, thought about it, and said: "I'll call you Grandpa Jiang, the old man has the insistence of the old man, but since I promised Jiang Feng to ask my sister before, then I still have to finish what I have in my heart." β
Jiang Bosheng looked at Shi Lei with interest and nodded, as if he looked at Shi Lei very pleasing to the eye.
"Grandpa Jiang, do you like me a lot?" Shi Lei couldn't care about himself, and his words were a little shameless.
When Jiang Bosheng heard this, he laughed: "Haha, you kid, you really have no taboos!" Haha, but my old man really likes your silly energy. β
"Don't you like Sister Jiang Fengyue?"
Jiang Bosheng didn't say anything, just looked at Shi Lei, as if waiting for Shi Lei to justify himself.
"Probably you think that Jiang Fengyue's sister is a girl, and your son is ......" Shi Lei paused and adjusted his mood, "So you think your Jiang family's incense is broken, don't you?" Seeing that Jiang Bosheng seemed to have something to say, Shi Lei didn't give him a chance, and went straight to continue, blocking Jiang Bosheng's words.
"I don't want to tell you about the basic national policy, and I don't want to say that boys and girls are the same, if boys and girls are really the same, then God shouldn't have a surname when he created people. I just want to tell you that Sister Fengyue is very filial, and if you insist on living here, it will make her sad. β
"Then she should go back to Runyang, instead of running to Wudong." Jiang Bosheng looked non-negotiable.
Shi Lei smiled again: "But young people have jobs, this is also an organizational task, you can't let her ignore the cultivation of the organization, leave the work of the country and not do it, and come back to guard you alone, right?" β
Shi Lei is talking about a special situation before the 90s, when the university was allocated by package, but in fact, because there are quite few college graduates every year, there is no need for package distribution, and when graduating every year, there will be countless good companies to the university to grab talents. At that time, there was no way to compare the university with the present, and now the university, graduation is equivalent to unemployment, and the college students at that time are definitely treasures.
And Jiang Feng is about twenty-four or five years old, and she should be a college graduate in 94 or 95, otherwise she is a woman, and it can be seen that her family conditions are not too good, and it is impossible to earn a private car in just two or three years. This is thanks to her status as a college student.
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, Jiang Fengyue is about to be the second wife of someone who has the power and wealth, but Shi Lei has seen too many such women in that life, and almost as long as he glances at it, he can see that Jiang Fengyue is definitely not that kind of woman. And the woman surnamed Liu is definitely Zhou Weishun's mistress, there is no doubt about it.
When Jiang Bosheng heard Shi Lei's words, he laughed again: "You kid, you just said that you don't need to make a big sense to count me down as an old man, but now you have put a big hat on me." Twenty years ago, should you have said that I dug into the corner of socialism to hinder the dictatorship of the proletariat? β
Shi Lei couldn't help laughing, the turmoil of the seventies created many special words, and what Old Man Jiang just said was the special words of those special years.
"It's understandable that you want to say it's a big hat, I just think that you have lived for such a long time, you should have looked at everything lightly, who knew that you were still so selfish."
"Don't provoke me, just like you said, I'm so old, the agitation method doesn't work with me." The old man has cunning and cunning wisdom, which makes Shi Lei very annoyed.
"Forget it, you are like a child in everything you say, there is always a sentence waiting for me in ambush. Stop, I know you have to say that you are young and old, and old is like a child. Shi Lei saw that Jiang Bosheng was about to speak again, so he directly sealed his mouth, and the old man smiled proudly, but he was not surprised that Shi Lei could guess what he wanted to say.
"It's said that you are selfish because you actually like Jiang Fengyue, but you are a little resentful that she is not a boy. At first, I didn't understand it a little, but when I got to your house, I understood it completely. Shi Lei pointed to the photo of the young couple on the chest of drawers, "This is your son and daughter-in-law, right?" It's right, it's estimated that it's a wedding photo, and the wedding photo of that year can only be like this. It is estimated that Jiang Fengyue was killed shortly after giving birth, so have you always felt that Jiang Fengyue was a bit of a lone star, and she killed your son? That's why you deliberately didn't show your affection for her, and you just refused to go to the provincial capital with her, just because of your little selfishness......"
After saying this, the old man stopped squeaking, and the cheerful energy just now was gone. Sitting on the chair, the corners of his eyes were lowered, his chest was heaving and undulating, and he didn't know if it was because he was angry or because he was reminded of the past by Shi Lei's words.
