Chapter 266: The Hou Family's Past Events
readx; Shi Lei got up in the morning, still went to morning exercises, ran around Gantang Lake, and was about to go back to wash up and then call Feng Miao'er and Meng Qiuhua to have breakfast together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But after walking two steps, Shi Lei saw a familiar figure, standing by Gantang Lake, stunned at the lake.
Although he knew that most of them were still misunderstood by the old man in the past, Shi Lei hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"Old man...... Old man ......"
The old man was really distracted, Shi Lei shouted twice in a row before the old man suddenly realized. Turning around, seeing that it was Shi Lei, the old man was so shocked that he took a step back, but obviously his legs and feet were a little inconvenient, and he stumbled, fortunately, Shi Lei was quick and grabbed the old man's crutch, otherwise the old man would fall into the lake if he didn't make a good fuss.
"What are you doing again? You go back to me and tell the surnamed Hong, even if my old bones are dead, he doesn't want to take my things! The old man was very angry, and waved his crutch in his hand, although there were not many people by the lake in the early morning, but there were also many early risers who were attracted by his voice.
Shi Lei knew that this was the result, smiled and said: "Old man, you probably misunderstood, I am not from your Luling, you listen to my accent, and then think about my mother's accent yesterday?" ”
The old man seemed to have calmed down a little, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true that Shi Lei and Meng Qiuhua's accents obviously had the flavor of Xiajiang, and they were indeed not local accents.
"Old man, have the people from the Xunyang Branch looked for you?" Shi Lei asked kindly, "If it's convenient, let's talk a few words." ”
The old man hesitated for a while, his eyes obviously flashed with distrust of Shi Lei, and finally nodded: "I wasn't at home last night, and when I came back, I heard from the police next door that a police officer came to me, saying that I was asked to go to the substation today to investigate what happened to the car crash yesterday." ”
Shi Lei nodded: "Old man, I won't hide it from you...... Come, sit down here, and I'll tell you about yesterday. ”
The old man sat down on the stone pier by the lake suspiciously, and then Shi Lei said, "I'll tell you who I am first." You probably know that the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor of Luling have been replaced, right? ”
The old man nodded: "I saw the news, and it was said that a secretary of the municipal party committee was transferred from other places." ”
"The secretary of the municipal party committee is my father, and I accompanied him to take office the day before yesterday. Yesterday, it was ......" Shi Lei roughly told the old man how Zhou Jiang reported the case, how he attracted the criminal police, and how he finally met the director of the sub-bureau in the Public Security Bureau, and finally told the old man about Zhou Jiang's arrest.
"I know you may be very wary, I heard your words just now, it seems that Hong Pingping wants to rob you of something, and you refuse to give it to her, so she sent someone to toss you, hoping to force you to give up your things, is this the case?"
The old man didn't know whether to believe Shi Lei at the moment, but he was firm in his heart, that is, if what Shi Lei said was true, he might have one more way to live, and what Shi Lei said was false, he was just giving up an old life.
"It's not Hong Pingping's girl, what is that girl, it's her father, Hong Nianyao, this white-eyed wolf!"
Shi Lei's brows furrowed when he heard this, when the old man talked about Hong Nianyao, the crutch was chopped on the ground, obviously extremely angry, and the three words of white-eyed wolf were also scolded, it seems that the old man and the Hong family seem to be inextricably linked and have a lot of relationship.
"Oh? It turned out to be Hong Nianyao? Old man, why do you say he's a white-eyed wolf? ”
The old man was completely open-minded, and he looked at this young man with a pleasant face, it really didn't look like he was on the same road as the Hong family, and he was really the son of the new secretary of the municipal party committee. At this time, the old man seemed to remember that the news said that the new secretary of the municipal party committee had a very good reputation, and that he was transferred from the city that was least affected by the flood this year, and that the reason why the city was not affected much was because of the credit of the secretary of the municipal party committee. If so, maybe this young man really wants to help himself.
"Good! I'm telling you! My surname is Hou, a single name with a latent word, sneaking diving, word Xuan, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this set is not prosperous, it is only called Hou Zhixuan......"
Hearing this, Shi Lei immediately said: "The old man's ancestor is still a scholarly family? ”
Hou Zhixuan waved his hand: "I can't talk about the scholarly family, my father is in the antique business, and his Hong family was just a small house in my family, and he couldn't even go to the cabinet, but he did something to welcome guests and clean up tea." ”
Shi Leixin said that this is the standard broken urge, but he didn't expect Hong Nianyao to be a broken urge. But after thinking about it, no, the old man is in his seventies at most this year, born in his twenties, and he was only in his twenties before the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, Hong Nianyao is only fifty-five years old this year, and he was only six years old when the People's Republic of China was founded in 49 years.
"Hong Nianyao was just a child at that time, five or six years old, following me all day long, running before and after, I didn't expect him to become such a person later."
When Shi Lei heard it, he realized that it was Hong Nianyao's father who was a partner in the Hou family's antique shop.
"Speaking of which, his father doesn't even have a name, everyone calls him Hong San'er, and the name Hong Nianyao was given to him by my father back then."
Next, Hou Zhixuan began to tell Shi Lei an ancient story, which can be continued all the way to before liberation.
Before the liberation, Luling has always been a place where soldiers must fight, relying on the navigation of the Yangjiang River, as well as Poyang Lake in the south, the land of fish and rice, merchants gathered, and it is known as the thoroughfare of seven provinces.
At that time, in Luling City, like many commercial cities, there was an antique street, and there was a most famous shop on it, called Slender Spine Xuan, which was quite famous in Luling and even in the Jiangnan area of that year.
This antique shop is Hou Zhixuan's ancestral business.
At the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hou Zhixuan was only twenty-one years old, had just finished getting married, and had both parents, but he was guilty of antiques.
At that time, he was classifying the common people, which was relatively lucky, because Hou Zhixuan's father had given a lot of economic assistance to the underground party in Luling City, and their Hou family had a good reputation in the city, and they all knew that they were good people. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that there is not much money in the antique shop after years of war. And because of the war, there were quite a few guys in the store, most of them were sent some money by Hou Zhixuan's father to let them go back to their hometowns, but Hong Nianyao's father Hong San'er, Hong Nianyao was still young at the time, and his mother died because of the difficulty in giving birth, Master Hou couldn't bear to see Hong San, a big man dragging a little boy to pass, so he left him, as long as he had a dry mouth to eat at home, he would never give Hong San and Hong Nianyao a mouthful.
After the liberation, Hong San was defined as a city proletarian because of his identity as a young man, as if his status was above the Hou family. He was also assigned to work in a factory and became the hottest working class at that time.
Hong San is not bad, at least he didn't think about trying to rob the Hou family of anything, and he didn't have the intention of harming others. But Hong San didn't live long, and died in six years. At that time, it was the most painful time of the ten years of catastrophe, Hong Nianyao was also in his twenties at the time, and when Hong San was lying on the sickbed, he was still a little restrained and did not trouble the Hou family. But not long after Hong San left, he smashed the door with a group of Red Guards.
I have to say that Hong Nianyao has a great advantage, that is, his memory is particularly good, even when he was four or five years old, he remembers it clearly.
In that era, the Hou family was definitely the target of criticism, but the composition of their family was actually to hang a sign and stand on the stage to read and review, and accept the re-education of the worker's big brother would be over, and nothing big would happen. However, Hong Nianyao remembers that not long before the liberation, there was a person who went to the Hou family's antique shop and sold a jar of Yuan blue and white to their family, in order to raise money to run away before the arrival of our party. That happened in 1948, when Hong Nianyao was only five years old, and he actually remembered it clearly.
Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Hou family handed over some cultural relics, they did not hand over this Yuan blue and white jar. However, Hong Nianyao, who was six or seven years old, actually remembered this treasure of the Hou family all the time. At that time, he felt that he had finally found an opportunity, so naturally he did not let go of the Hou family, and the Hou family, which was originally nothing more than a fight, finally turned into a martial fight. Hou Zhixuan's father was killed because of this, and the Yuan blue and white finally fell into Hong Nianyao's hands. And Hou Zhixuan's family, old and young, was also implicated because of this, and they were all accused of digging into the corners of socialism and having a strong bourgeois consciousness, and were imprisoned.
At that time, Hong Nianyao was twenty-eight years old in 1971.
Because of his bravery in that special era, Hong Nianyao bought a career from then on, first entered the Revolutionary Committee, and then became the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, and when the turmoil subsided, he also became a section-level cadre of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
In 77, the Hou family was finally rehabilitated, Hong Nianyao learned that Hou Zhixuan actually came out alive, afraid of implicating himself, and took the initiative to explain to the organization, he took a jar from the Hou family that year, but he didn't say what Yuan Qinghua was, just said that he liked that thing, so he took it back to play. In those days, everything was messy, and no one took this jar seriously, although the handling staff also saw that it was an antique, but they didn't expect it to be Yuan Qinghua, and even if they thought about it, there was no problem, at that time, antiques were not worth anything at all. Of course, Hong Nianyao, who took the initiative to confess, was fine, and this thing was returned to its original owner and returned to Hou Zhixuan
