Chapter 248: Isn't it just to see your father-in-law?
The winter in Yanjing is very cold, and it snowed overnight in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I came together on the morning of the first day, I saw that there seemed to be only one kind of white in the heavens and the earth. In this kind of weather, most people don't travel, but since they are going to visit their future father-in-law and mother-in-law, it is natural that there is no difficulty in creating difficulties.
Chen Yaotian didn't take Lin Feiying's car, what are you kidding, isn't it too long to take Lin Feiying there? But he didn't have a driver's license himself, so he had to take his parents' car with him.
My father and mother specially went to Yanjing to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Fang, and for Chen Guanzhong, it was also the first time to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the mood of the two of them could be said to be very close.
For Chen Guanzhong, the pressure is really not ordinary. You must know that his father-in-law is "Old Man Fang". It is said that although it has been retired, even those leaders of the Central and North Seas come to pay New Year's greetings in person during the New Year.
Back then, Old Man Fang did not allow Chen Guanzhong to enter the door, which made Chen Guanzhong really respect and fear the old man of the other party. However, Chen Guanzhong also encountered many tricky things in the process of doing business later, but they were always invisibly resolved. This made Chen Guanzhong think at first that he was lucky, and he could always turn evil into good fortune. Later, because of the investment, he offended a provincial leader. The provincial leader was about to expel the Chen consortium's business from his jurisdiction, and for the provincial leader, he thought that it only took a word to drive out a small businessman with no background. Chen Guanzhong was also disheartened and wanted to withdraw, but then the provincial leader suddenly stopped moving. The thunder was heavy and the rain was small, which made Chen Guanzhong feel that the other party had raised his noble hand and let him go, so he specially brought a gift to visit the provincial leader. But the provincial leader resolutely refused to accept it, and finally nodded that he had been carried by Old Man Fang. Only then did Chen Guanzhong know that it was the Fang family who was covering himself in private.
In fact, if you think about it, you have a deep affection, although Old Man Fang drove Fang Suzhen out, but he was actually worried about it in his heart, after all, he was not such a girl. So on the surface, the line is drawn, but in fact, it is still taken care of secretly.
As for Fang Suzhen's promotion path, the same is true, although Old Man Fang really didn't go out of his way to help her, it seems that she worked hard by herself. But in fact, if it weren't for her being Old Man Fang's daughter, how could no one suppress her? If it weren't for the fact that she was a child, would she be set up as a model? To put it bluntly, no one deliberately stopped her, which was the biggest help to her. Don't you see that there are many people who are forty or fifty years old and are just clerks?
Therefore, Chen Guanzhong is now the first time to see the old man who makes him respect and fear, and his heart is not easier than Chen Yaotian.
As for seeing the old man, Chen Yaotian felt much more relaxed. After all, it was his grandfather, and no matter how big the problem was, his parents would carry it, he would be a junior child. Grandpa likes him, so he kisses him. If grandpa doesn't like it, isn't there still grandma? It's a big deal to come to Yanjing a few times!
Chen Yaotian is worried about his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, or most worried about his fiancΓ©e Zhang Xiaowu. The contradiction between the two has not been completely resolved, who knows what it will be like to see Zhang Xiao this time? If Zhang Xiaowu didn't give him face, he would have nothing to say. Thinking about it, he felt that he was really sorry for Zhang Xiaowu, but the wood was already in the boat, and there was nothing he could do.
Both father and son had bitter faces, only Fang Suzhen was excited and excited.
My father was finally willing to forgive me, and I could finally see my father again after so many years...... Fang Suzhen was in a very surging mood and felt a lot, and when she turned around and saw the faces of her husband and son, she knocked dissatisfiedly: "What kind of expressions do you have?" Be in good spirits! Isn't it just to see your father-in-law? No big deal! β
"Got it...... father and son let out a sigh together, but they felt that a large stone pressed on their chests seemed to be heavier...... Regarding the situation of his grandfather's family, Chen Yaotian basically understands it. And now the homework he is doing is his father-in-law's family, Zhang Xiaowu's father, Zhang Zhenyu, is the chief of staff of the Sanyan Military Region, with the rank of major general. Uncle Jiang Hongtao is also a major general, and grandfather Jiang Wen is a general during the founding of the country. Grandfather Zhang Shoushan is the former boss of the military industry, and his mother Jiang Shujie is now an important figure in the military industry and also has the rank of major general. This is really a family of generals. It's just that Chen Yaotian's knowledge is limited, because it involves the military, except for Zhang Xiaowu's father, he doesn't know what others are responsible for, and this is a highly confidential matter.
As far as Chen Yaotian knows, Zhang Shoushan and his wife have passed away, so Zhang Zhenyu and Jiang Shujie will go to Jiang's house during the Chinese New Year. This means that Chen Yaotian will face Old Man Jiang's family, and Chen Yaotian can imagine what kind of storm he will face if Zhang Xiaowu turns his face in front of him...... What a sin...... The car first drove to the distant mountain villa, which is a place for retired old cadres to recuperate. There is no certain level that you can't live in, just like Babaoshan, not everyone can sleep in it after death. According to the regulations of '92, all the ashes that can be buried in Babaoshan must be at the department and bureau level, and the soldiers must be cadres at or above the division level. And this distant mountain villa is not qualified to live in below the deputy ministerial level. Whether you are alive or dead, you must follow the rules.
The verdant pines and cypresses are covered with snow-white snow and look like they are carved out of ice. Soldiers have already cleared the road on the ground, and the snow that has temporarily piled up on both sides of the road will soon be pulled away by cars, so as to create a comfortable living environment for the veteran cadres.
When entering the door, the guards carefully checked the identity of Chen Guanzhong's family, and called inside to verify, and then Fang Donghai, the son of Chen Yaotian's uncle, ran out to pick them up, and then they were released.
"Auntie, aunt, uncle, you are more tolerant, it's too strict here, if you want me to say it's not necessary, who will do anything to these old men and old ladies......" Fang Donghai explained, and by the way, he also expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, safety first, what happened to the people living here is a big loss for the country." Fang Suzhen patted the back of her nephew's head, she loved her nephew very much. The Fang family has a son and a daughter, so Fang Donghai is regarded as the third generation of the Fang family, Fang Su really doesn't like it, her own grandson doesn't know how long she has to wait.
"I know, aunt and grandma......" Fang Donghai reluctantly accepted this way of treating children, in fact, he hated this way the most, but he didn't dare to provoke this aunt, this was his grandfather and father had already given a death order, and if he dared to play rebellion with his aunt, he would wait for death.
Entering Villa No. 1, Fang Zhongyi and his son Fang Zhiguo and his wife were already waiting at the door. Just received the call and asked Fang Donghai, who was fast-paced, to pick up someone, Fang Zhongyi and his wife were old after all, so it was better to wait here. Fang Zhiguo and his wife are actually forty years younger, and when they saw Fang Suzhen and his wife coming in, they immediately shouted respectfully: "Auntie, happy New Year!" β
"Happy New Year, uncle, aunt!" Chen Yaotian also hurried to greet the New Year, this custom is very strict in the north, and the first sentence of the New Year's meeting must be this.
Then the family went in with greetings, and they were happy, and there was no barrier at all. In fact, the so-called Houmen is as deep as the sea, and there are many intrigues in the big family, which are all caused by conflicts of interest. There is no conflict of interest between Fang Zhongyi and Fang Suzhen, and it is inevitable that the daughter will not compete with the son. And Fang Suzhen will also be Fang Zhongyi's biggest help, fighting the tiger still needs a brother! So although the two families on the opposite side have not been in contact for a long time, the relationship is now very harmonious.
"Let's go sit down and eat something first, old man...... He's busy, fixed this time every day, no one dares to disturb him, if you want to say that you came at the right time, hehe, you're welcome, your family is polite! Play your own game, and in another ten minutes, the old man will come out after he is busy. Fang Zhongyi, the oldest person in the scene, waved his hand and arranged it.
Fang Suzhen hurriedly whispered in her husband's ear: "Don't think about it, Dad is not targeting you." My dad is a little weird and stubborn, I guess he's really busy with something......"
Chen Guanzhong nodded again and again, how dare he say anything, this old man is a character who stomps his feet and trembles throughout China...... "Uncle Tian, do you want to play games with me?" Fang Donghai was playing with the computer at this time, shouting Chen Yaotian: "Three Kingdoms Nine, new this year!" β
"Hehe, you play, I'll walk around the yard casually." Chen Yaotian is completely uninterested in computer games, and besides, he is a generation older than Fang Donghai, what is it like to play games together. No one stopped him, anyway, they were all his own family, and he walked around the first time he wanted to.
"Let's go around, just don't leave the compound." Fang Zhongyi instructed, Chen Yaotian answered, and walked out.
This No. 1 villa is quite spacious, and Chen Yaotian walked and walked into a small courtyard. This small courtyard is not big, but the scenery is good, pavilions, rockeries, pines and cypresses...... There is everything, but the small artificial river has frozen, and it looks a little bleak.
And under the rockery, an old and dignified figure is slowly playing Tai Chi. The old man's boxing speed was extremely slow, but he was extremely focused.
Chen Yaotian glanced at it twice, and couldn't help but remind: "Grandpa, your Tai Chi is not right." β
He had good intentions, knowing that if he didn't know the essentials of boxing, sometimes it would be harmful instead of beneficial. But the white-bearded old man couldn't help frowning: "My old man has been doing Tai Chi for three years, don't I still know?" β
Chen Yaotian sighed, you have only been fighting for three years, and I have been boxing for fifteen or sixteen years...... "Grandpa, you really have a problem with this boxing technique." Chen Yaotian said sincerely, the elderly must want to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives when they practice boxing, but in his opinion, if this old man really practices like this, he is afraid that he will lose his life...... "Really?" The white-bearded old man originally refused to believe it, but seeing that Chen Yaotian said so sincerely, he snorted coldly and said, "Where is the problem, young man, you can listen to it." β
