Chapter 188: The second young spring of the Zhou family is budding
Zhou Cheng danced and talked for a while, and his excited mood gradually calmed down, and after his introduction, Liang Xuetao and others knew that this man in his thirties was named Zhou Yanjin, who was Zhou Cheng's uncle.
Zhou Yanjin is five years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, he is the old man in the family, there is a brother and a sister, the elder brother Zhou Huaijin, that is, Zhou Cheng's father, and an older sister named Zhou Yujin, who took the initiative to break away from the family in a turmoil many years ago.
Speaking of which, this incident can be regarded as a scandal of the Zhou family, because at that time, Zhou Yujin not only announced in the newspaper that she had disowned her parents, but also took the initiative to expose all kinds of "crimes" of her parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts to the Revolutionary Committee.
Although Zhou Yujin's unilateral announcement of dissociation from her parents may not have legal effect, it is enough to hit the Zhou family who are receiving renovation and education in the cowshed, Zhou Yanjin's father blamed himself, and repeatedly lamented that he did not educate his children well, and became a father in vain, Zhou Yanjin's mother even broke down and wanted to commit suicide to end her life.
So after the turmoil ended, even if outsiders repeatedly said peace, Zhou Yujin expressed her position in public several times, saying that she was instigated by outsiders, and she made a big mistake in confusion for a while, but she never sought the understanding of her parents and grandparents, and the Zhou family refused to meet her.
After the reform and opening up, the disheartened Zhou Yujin went to settle abroad with her husband's family, and has not been heard from since.
Zhou Yanjin was born after the turmoil, when Zhou Huaijin was already an adult, as the old saying goes, parents love their young sons, Zhou Yanjin's mother was heartbroken by her daughter, and her maternal love was doubled on Zhou Yanjin.
When Zhou Yanjin was four years old, her grandparents and mother passed away one after another, and she was raised by her maternal grandfather until she became an adult. Zhou Yanjin's grandmother took pity on him for losing his mother at a young age, and loved him like an eyeball, no matter how big a mistake he made outside, he would only blindly connive and protect, even if he was very angry, he would only say a few words lightly.
Zhou Yanjin's maternal grandfather was born in a wealthy family, although the family gradually declined not long after adulthood, and the situation fell to the bottom after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but the habit of playing horses and roaming the streets, indulging in pleasure and brotherhood has been soaked in the bones, and he has not been able to change it until he is old.......
Zhou Yanjin has been exposed to it since she was a child, coupled with her grandmother's blind connivance and doting, and when she grew up, she naturally became a well-known hakama child in the capital.
Guangsha mansions, brocade clothes and jade food, in and out are accompanied by luxury cars and beauties, young, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are already everything, all day long with some unlearned and unskilled high-level cadres get together to shout five and drink six, everywhere is a group of cats and dogs hate the scourge.
Zhou Yanjin's father couldn't see it, but every time he educated his son, he would be scolded and blocked by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he had no choice but to give up, until Zhou Yanjin injured the other party in the group fight because he was competing with others for the red card lady in the nightclub, Zhou Yanjin's father finally couldn't bear it, and secretly sent his son to the army without telling his father-in-law and mother-in-law, intending to let him experience the life of militarized management, and suffer a little to get rid of his bad habits, but he didn't expect that after Zhou Yanjin entered the army, he was like a dragon swimming into the deep sea, and he was very happy and happy. And very self-motivated.
From an ordinary field regiment to an allegro unit, and then from a PLA step by step to a member of the special forces, he stayed for more than ten years, and after retiring, he ignored his father and brother's obstruction and devoted himself to becoming a mercenary, traveling back and forth between China and abroad all year round.
When a series of disasters occurred in China, he was located in a certain country in East Asia, and it took a lot of effort to travel to several countries within a year before returning to China.
Knowing that Liang Xuetao and his wife were the parents of their niece's friend, Zhou Yanjin was very surprised, Liang Xuetao was just right, the man was almost the same when he was thirty or forty years old, it was difficult to guess the specific age, but how Wei Hongyu looked, he was indeed only in his twenties.
Could it be a stepmother?
He secretly speculated in his heart, but there was no leakage on his face, no matter what, the other party could barely be regarded as a quasi-in-law, Zhou Yanjin's attitude became a little warmer, and he took the initiative to shake hands and say hello, looking very modest and polite.
Wei Hongyu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and secretly whispered to her husband next to her, praising Zhou Yanjin a few words.
Liang Xuetao couldn't see his daughter-in-law say that others were good, especially when the other party was still a man of the same age, and replied in a low voice with a dark face, "I know people and faces, but I don't know what kind of person he is when I see him for the first time?" ”
A bucket of cold water was poured on his head, although Wei Hongyu knew that there was some truth in what he said, but he thought he was defeated, so he turned around and ignored him.
Zhou Yanjin's car was not a big problem, it was too hot and the car was boiling, and the repair was completed soon. A few people didn't say much, hurriedly got into the car, and the two cars drove in the direction of J City, one after the other.
After getting off the highway, I stopped when I passed a hexagonal pavilion with red paint and green tiles on the outskirts.
Zhang Lin took out a rag from the car, wiped the stone table and stone bench in the pavilion, and laid a tablecloth on it.
At this time, Zhou Cheng brought a foam box, which contained bowls and chopsticks, as well as a bucket of mung bean and lily porridge, a dozen buns and a few cans of pickles.
Zhang Lin filled a few bowls of porridge and handed them over one by one, seeing that Zhou Yanjin had a bun in his hand, he hurriedly put down the bowl and shouted, "Uncle Zhou, I'll help you." After speaking, he took the white bun, broke it open, and then put a few chopsticks and pickles into it, and at the same time kept asking, "Uncle Zhou, do you like to eat dried radish?" How about cowpeas, are you used to eating......" attitude is very attentive, close to flattery.
Zhou Yanjin took a bite of mung bean porridge with a bowl and asked in surprise, "Is it cold?" ”
Wei Hongyu explained with a smile, "I spent a whole night in the well, and after taking it out, I put it in a thermos bucket, so it was cold." The sound is clear and sweet, reminiscent of the sound of a spring stirring in a mountain stream.
Zhou Yanjin's eyes condensed slightly, no longer said, began to drink porridge and eat buns, after the end of the world, he was worried about the safety of his father, brothers, sons and nephews, all the way back to China, tired lying in the car to rest, hungry to eat compressed biscuits to satisfy hunger, like mung bean porridge This kind of soup and water food has not been touched for nearly a year, a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of steamed buns have made him have an illusion that he seems to be tasting delicacies, unconsciously four steamed buns, two bowls of porridge have been eaten.
"Uncle Zhou, will I serve you another bowl of porridge?" Zhang Lin saw him put down the dishes and chopsticks, and hurriedly asked.
Zhou Yanjin felt that she was eight points full, and shook her head to refuse.
Zhang Lin wiped his mouth and smiled, "Uncle Zhou, I heard from Team Zhou that you have been in the Blue Spider for a few years, in addition to daily training, you also have tasks, what are the tasks?" Tell us about it! "Blue Spider is the code name of Zhou Yanjin's previous special forces, and his reputation is world-renowned.
Zhou Cheng and Wei Hongyu couldn't help but hold their breath when they heard this, and their eyes fell on Zhou Yanjin.
Zhou Yanjin saw a lot of people like them who were full of heroism, and waved his hand with a smile, "There's nothing to say." ”
"Let's talk about it!" Zhang Lin begged.
"Uncle, just talk about it." Zhou Yanjin has been away all the year round, and Zhou Cheng has little contact with him, and he is also very curious about his situation in the special forces.
"It's not as mysterious as you think." Zhou Yanjin shrugged his shoulders, "If there is no war in peacetime, it is not a big deal." ”
"If you don't fight, there are other things, such as dealing with some big drug lords or something." Zhang Lin asked.
"Well....." Zhou Yanjin didn't want to mention the special forces, leaving his post without permission during the mission and being forced to retire was the biggest stain in his life, and it was also an eternal regret, but taking into account Zhou Cheng's face, he was embarrassed to refuse the other party directly, so he could only patiently avoid the important and said: "Occasionally, but this kind of task has nothing to say, it is very boring and boring, and we didn't know what to do when we first received the task." ”
"Won't it?" Zhang Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"It's true." Zhou Cheng nodded affirmatively, "The first time the superior gave an order, he would only say that your team was on standby at a certain time on a certain day, and what to do would only be notified at the moment before the actual mission." It's like the kind of drug lord you said, we don't even know who he is when we are arrested, and if we are arrested, we will only know his true identity after being extradited back to China. ”
Zhang Lin was speechless, "The tone is really tight." ”
"It's like this in the army, it's the duty of a soldier to obey the instructions of the superiors, we only need to complete the task, and we don't have to worry about the rest." Zhou Yanjin paused, and then talked about some interesting things during his tenure as a mercenary.
Compared with the stereotypical special forces, the mercenary's career is obviously richer and more exciting, although it is only a few years, but every time he performs a mission on the line of life and death, his muscles will be tense, his heart is racing, and his blood is swelling, Zhou Yanjin loves this feeling very much, and he loves the hearty feeling of galloping on the beautiful carcass after the mission, or drinking and eating meat while talking and laughing with his teammates.
Because of his unscrupulousness, at Zhang Lin's repeated requests, Zhou Yanjin enthusiastically described an incident in which two mercenaries fought with guns.
"Each mercenary is an independent team, the relationship with other mercenaries is not harmonious, there are often some personal quarrels and fights, this is just a small fight, sometimes in order to snatch the client's order, there will even be a large-scale fight between each other, I remember the summer before last, in the middle of August, there was a mysterious person to hire a team of ten bodyguards, the commission period is three months, the remuneration is 500,000 US dollars, after the news came out, we ...... with another mercenary"
Zhang Lin's heart went through ups and downs with the whole incident, and finally swallowed his saliva unconsciously, "Aren't there any dead people?" ”
Zhou Yanjin didn't know what to think of, and his expression suddenly froze, "There will definitely be casualties in this kind of conflict." ”
"You're a sharpshooter, aren't you?" Wei Hongyu asked coldly, a pair of apricot eyes were as clear and transparent as blue waves, and Zhou Yanjin could even see his small reflection in them.
He suddenly felt that the roots of his ears were a little hot, and he couldn't help touching the bridge of his nose, and Zhou Cheng beside him raised his head, and replied to the honorable voice: "Of course, all of them are sharpshooters from the special forces, not only are they good marksmanship, but they also have to learn martial arts, such as sanda and the like, and they must be able to use all kinds of equipment flexibly, as well as blasting tracking, how to use favorable terrain to break through...... It can be said that all eighteen kinds of martial arts are proficient! ”
"Really!" Zhang Lin exclaimed and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, have you brought a gun, show me!" ”
Zhou Yanjin smiled without saying a word, took out the holster on his waist, pulled out the magazine, and threw it on the table.
Zhang Lin couldn't close his mouth happily, wiped a few times on the undershirt with both hands, and then carefully held up the whole black, wiped very bright gun carefully, although he was not a military fan, but he could also recognize that the pistol in front of him was a well-known Chinese 92 type at home and abroad.
He quickly got up and looked around secretly, thinking to himself why there were no other members of the escort team on this trip, otherwise the poss with a gun against someone else's head would definitely be handsome.
Zhang Lin didn't have the courage to provoke the few people present, so he could only regretfully shoot at the open area with a feigned haircut, and while pulling the trigger, he said something in his mouth, "Bang, bang!" Brigade Zhou, do you think I'm handsome? Which one is more handsome than Uncle Zhou? ”
Zhou Cheng clenched his fists and slapped him gently, "If you are handsome, you will play treasure!" ”
"Haha......" Zhou Yanjin slapped the table and laughed, when her eyes swept over Wei Hongyu, she couldn't help laughing, she was covering her mouth and stealing fun, and her heart was even more happy.
Wei Hongyu is short, and across a stone table, Zhang Lin's body blocks part of the view, so she can only raise her hips slightly, leaning forward to see clearly, and her attention is highly focused on the gun, Liang Xuetao turned her head to look at her several times, but she didn't notice it.
Liang Xuetao's heart was a little sour, he hugged her slender waist and whispered: "If you like it, I'll get you a handful when I go back." ”
Wei Hongyu's eyes lit up, and she dragged the corner of Liang Xuetao's clothes and began to make a request, "There must be bullets." ”
Liang Xuetao refused.
"No bullets are just decorations, what's the point!" Wei Hongyu was dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice.
"We are innate monks, with Mo Yunjue, a small jade stone can hurt people, what do you want a gun for, huh?" Liang Xuetao whispered in his ear, his lips almost pressed to her earlobe, and a hot breath gushed out and drilled into her ear.
Wei Hongyu's hairs suddenly stood up, and he hurriedly pushed him away and said in a low voice: "There is not much jade at home, and I have to ask if there is any jade sold in the city in a while." ”
Liang Xuetao nodded, clenched his fists to his lips and coughed, and then said coldly: "It's not early, pack up and hurry on the road." ”
At the sound of an order, Zhou Cheng and the others immediately complied, and five minutes later, the two cars left the area and headed for the inner city of J City. (To be continued.) )
