Chapter 187: Strange People

The old man's eyes were immediately attracted by the old gun.

Huang Qiang was still saying: "It's a pity, this gun is so well preserved, but there is such a big gap." Huang Qiang held it in his hand and looked at a triangular gap in the clip part, not without regret.

"Show me."

When Huang Qiang raised his head, the old man was already standing in front of him, with tears of excitement in his eyes, staring at this old-fashioned shell gun that was not too strange and could only be used as an exhibit.

Touching the body of the gun and looking at the gap, the old man leaned into the light and found a line of small characters on the handle, which marked the most special distribution date of this gun, artificially carved, this gun has a special meaning, only a few people know.

"Girl, where did this gun come from?" The old man looked at his granddaughter with a solemn face, it is said that it is impossible for a gun like this to exist in the people's circulation, and even he has only seen and known it but has never touched it.

"A greeting gift from Grandpa Daewoo." Pei Pei also noticed the change in his grandfather.

"Huh?" The old man set his eyes on Cheng Xiaoyu.

"It's my grandfather's stuff, I've seen it." Cheng Xiaoyu told the truth.

"Cheng, Cheng, Cheng ......" The old man muttered with his eyes closed, suddenly paused, turned his head and asked Pei Jianjun: "Give me the phone number of Suo Lian's house." ”

The people in the house noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense, and the juniors didn't look at the ones who were showing off their might outside, staring at the titles of the children of the family, and all of them were kittens here.

Cheng Xiaoyu also felt something, glanced at Pei Pei, and a clear and vague pulse began to emerge, why did Commander Suo spare no effort to stand on Cheng Xiaoyu's side, and after Cheng Xiaoyu got into trouble, he gathered a group of people to give Sheng Huaiyuan real support, and even with the attitude of the J Provincial Military Region towards Sheng Huaiyuan, from not interfering in local affairs to supporting Sheng Huaiyuan unreservedly, there should always be a line in between, but everyone didn't notice where this line was and why it was connected.

An old-fashioned shell gun found the thread.

"Jianjun, Yuejin, girl, Xiaocheng, you come in with me." The old man motioned for everyone to disperse.

Including the younger generation, they are all curious, who will leave, they are all waiting to find out, and they all have a strong interest in Cheng Xiaoyu, this man who is praised by everyone as the most bullish toad in the country in the new century, is he a frog prince?

In the inner hall, the old man picked up the phone.

"Dad, look at the time ......" Pei Jianjun pointed to the clock on the wall, it was already past nine o'clock.

"The cannon barrel of the chain was still snoring for the first five minutes, and as soon as the charge horn sounded, he promised that he was the first to rush out of the trench with a gun." The old man said as he dialed the number.

"Hey, let Solén answer the phone."

Suo Minmin is a workaholic, just finished counting the inventory in the equipment department, all over his body is very uncomfortable, when he gets home and prepares to take a hot bath, the special number on the table of the internal phone rings, the phone rings, not a major event report, that is, some people with sufficient identity called, pick up the phone Although the other party's tone is very bad, Suo Minmin still holds back the anger of work fatigue and irritability: "May I ask who you are?" ”

"I'm Pei Taixing."

Pei Taixing?

Suo Minmin searched his memory, he didn't have the slightest impression, and he wasn't from the Pei family?

Pei Yuejin smiled and handed his hand to his father, then pointed at Pei Pei and shook his head, meaning that the other party may be a junior, and he doesn't know your name.

"Hey, I'm Pei Yuejin."

"Ah, Uncle Pei." Suo Minmin was stunned for a moment, although the two families are not a political concept group, but because Huang Qiang is Grandma Huang's distant nephew, the two families are a little closer, and they are much closer in terms of title.

"It was my father just now, please answer the phone from Commander Suo." After Pei Yuejin finished speaking, he handed the phone back to his father, but he didn't know that Suo Minmin on the other end of the phone was completely stunned, Pei Taixing, Pei old man!

Suo Lianben had already fallen asleep, and he was sleepy early when he was old, if ordinary people Suo Minmin would have blocked it, Old Man Pei's call, she didn't dare to block it no matter what, and woke up her grandfather.

The two old men talked for a short time, only a few words, so Cheng Xiaoyu only heard Old Man Pei ask: "Is Xiao Cheng's grandfather the one?" And then there were no more complete words, um, um, and things like that, and hung up.

"Grandpa...... "The most anxious among all now is Cheng Xiaoyu, he has always felt that his grandfather has some unknown secrets, and now he seems to have hope of knowing, can he not be in a hurry?

The old man smiled, and looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with a little special warmth in his eyes: "There are some things, let your grandfather tell you yourself, he doesn't want to say, we are more than a substitute, but it is not beautiful, I can only tell you that your grandfather is a hero, a real unsung hero, I admire him very much." Pei Pei, take good care of this gun. ”

As he spoke, the old man walked into the study, and a minute later came out, holding a small brocade box in his hand.

"I'm a dereliction of duty as a grandfather, and I'm old enough to make an old friend laugh." He shook his head self-deprecatingly, and smiled with a slight sense of shame.

"Take it, kid, and I'm sorry for that."

Pei Jianjun and Pei Yuejin were dumbfounded, they knew what was in this brocade box, their father had always loved it like a treasure, but they didn't expect to take it out today and give it to Cheng Xiaoyu, could it be said that the value of the barge gun can be compared with the things in the brocade box?

A fountain pen is very ordinary, the same as a shell gun, if you look at the value, neither thing is worth a few dollars, but it depends on the historical value of this thing, that is, who its owner was.

Cheng Xiaoyu wanted to excuse himself, but the old man didn't give him a chance to speak: "When I saw your grandfather helping me say hello, I said that Pei Shishi was embarrassed, and I had the opportunity to invite him to drink to make amends." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded solemnly, put the pen into the brocade box, and dragged it in his hand, although he didn't know what the origin of this thing was, what could make Pei Jianjun and Pei Yuejin dumbfounded, how could it be a mortal thing.

After the old man gave the gift, it was equivalent to giving a send-off order, standing up, Cheng Xiaoyu and Pei Pei left the inner hall, when Pei Huan and others who were waiting outside saw the brocade box in Cheng Xiaoyu's hand, they showed a look that was even more shocked than Pei Jianjun's two brothers, and Sheng Meilan was also full of disbelief.

It wasn't until the two got in the car and left, Pei Pei made a phone call to his mother in the car, and he knew that the value of the fountain pen in the brocade box was used by the prime minister and gifted to his grandfather.

"Looks like your grandfather is angry." Cheng Xiaoyu leaned the car on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, and digested everything he saw tonight.

"But he has changed for you." Pei Pei nodded. Before, grandpa was very indifferent to Cheng Xiaoyu's closeness, just like a fairy to a mortal he liked, he wouldn't have too many mood swings for you, let alone joy, anger and sorrow. And just now, everyone can see the old man's unbearable unhappiness, and he also has more emotional expressions of Cheng Xiaoyu, as if he is a younger generation of his own family, not the kind of young man who is just my granddaughter's favorite object in the past, and barely got my approval that you can give her happiness. This change seems to be small, but in fact it is a great impact on a person's dignity, perhaps the old man also felt his gaffe, and because of his age and identity, he could not explain it, so he had to give a send-off order.

"Will you change?" Cheng Xiaoyu did not have the so-called ecstasy at this time, but was very disappointed, and the old man did not hide the change in some relationships at all, because of grandpa?

Pei Pei leaned lightly on his shoulder, looked at the street lamps on the street in the dark night, and said in a leisurely voice: "Fatty, I am still thin, and I will always be thin." ”

In the dark car, the two hearts are tightly pressed together, people are people after all, not gods, seven emotions and six desires dominate their thinking, even if it is an old man of Pei's age, it is inevitable that there is a little bit of utilitarianism, at this time Cheng Xiaoyu thought of a sentence that his grandfather said: "This family, poor, tired, spring ploughing and autumn harvest, eating and sleeping steadily." Go out and you won't be able to sleep. ”

Grandpa, I see!

……………… Old Man Pei sat on the mahogany chair, a self-deprecating look flashed on his face, and he didn't hide it in front of his two sons at all.

"Dad." Since Pei Yuejin was born, he doesn't seem to have seen his father so lonely again.

"I've been an official for a long time, I'm numb, I'm really numb, Cheng Lao Wei, Cheng Lao Wei, you old boy is sarcastic about me." Old Man Pei was talking to himself, self-deprecation, shame, and anger were just a flash in the pan, and gradually unknown joy rose in his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose as he spoke, and a smile appeared on his cheeks.

Pei Jianjun and Pei Yuejin's faces were full of worry, for fear that their father's body would not be able to withstand such a rapid change of emotions.

After a few minutes, Old Man Pei's expression returned to normal, as if he was muttering and telling a story: "That gun was once issued by the Security Bureau to the central chiefs, and the chiefs did not carry guns with them, and the symbolism was relatively large, and even some chiefs would not take it." Back then, the chairman took a handful and gave it to a person, a strange person, in front of everyone. said that he was a soldier, he never wanted to have achievements in the military that will go down in history, and he killed devils in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation at a young age. said that he was not a soldier, when the country was in danger, he could see the situation clearly, and the strength of one person could not change the whole country. At that time, spies infiltrated Yan'an, and the safety of the chiefs was coerced, so he withdrew from the battlefield and served as an ordinary guard. The security guard who has been serving as the chairman since then, from a sturdy young man in his early twenties to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, has always been just a guard, and no one, including the head of the Central Committee, regarded him as an ordinary guard. ”
