Chapter 015: The second grandfather of the Zuo family
772 Hospital South Building, High Cadre Ward, Corridor.
"Dean Sun, the light in the room here is not good, how can you let the old man move here?" A man in his fifties, with a slightly fat figure and majestic eyes, stood in the corridor with a little displeasure on his face.
"Director Zuo, I also persuaded you, but Zuo didn't listen. Zuo Lao said that the window here is facing his hometown, so he can see his brother earlier. A doctor in his seventies, wearing reading glasses, stood opposite, looking helpless.
The majestic man's name is Zuo Shiji, 55 years old, who works for the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The doctor opposite him was the director of Hospital 772. The person the two people are talking about is one of the few remaining patriarchs of the current republic, Zuo Yuan.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
As early as more than 20 years ago, Zuo Yuan and his younger brother Zuo Yan, who is also a military veteran, have taken a back seat, and they hardly appear in the news, and some young people will not even know their names. But as long as you know a little fur, no one dares to underestimate the Zuo family.
Zuo Yuan's son Zuo Zongwen became the governor very early, but unfortunately he became ill from exhaustion and finally collapsed on the desk. Zuo Shiji is Zuo Zongwen's only son, although he is not as high-spirited as his father was back then, but he has also achieved the ministerial level. Zuo Yan mostly served in the military, and he also had great authority. And the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Zuo family are old and old all over the world.
It is precisely because the influence of power covers too much that Zuo Yuan and Zuo Yan don't want to attract too much criticism, so they will take a back seat to the second line as soon as possible.
However, no matter how restrained the descendants of the Zuo family are, as long as the two big Buddhas of Zuo Yuan and Zuo Yan are there, no one dares to underestimate the Zuo family.
Everyone in the Zuo family understands this very well, whether it is for family affection or for the family, the two old men can't have an accident. After Zuo Yuan was admitted to the hospital, the Zuo family was jumping for a while, and Zuo Shiji was even more anxious.
Zuo Shiji served in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but he was not a serious director, but an idle position like many retired old cadres. Nominally, it is the main department, and there is almost no real power under his hands. Zuo Shiji has always been active and wants to change places and seek better development.
Zuo Yan's influence is in the military, and Zuo Shiji can only rely on Zuo Yuan.
Because of the family style of the Zuo family, Zuo Yuan has never spoken to Zuo Shiji, but as long as this big Buddha is here, no one dares to hang him.
"Dean Sun." Zuo Shiji glanced at the ward, frowned, and said, "You give me an account today, how long does the old man have left?" β
Dean Sun hesitated and held out a finger.
"A year?" Zuo Shiji's brows furrowed even tighter.
Dean Sun shook his head: "One month!" β
"What?" Zuo Shiji was shocked, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "The old man can eat, drink and sleep, and his brain is not confused, how can it be that it is only for a month?" β
"Elder Zuo won't let me tell you at first." Dean Sun sighed: "Zuo Lao is not sick in his body, but the aging of his kidney organs. I'm talking about a month, and it's already the best result. β
"You ......" Zuo Shiji couldn't care about holding Dean Sun accountable for concealing his own affairs, so he restrained himself and said with expectation: "Dean Sun, you are an authority in the medical field. Now that technology is so advanced, there can't be no way at all, right? Even if you can't get off the ground, it's good to keep the old man breathing......"
"Director Zuo, I said it, Zuo Lao is not sick!" Dean Sun understood what Zuo Shiji meant, and was faintly unhappy, and said angrily: "Unless you can get thousand-year-old ginseng, Zuo Lao won't last long." β
Zuo Shiji also found that he was a little out of shape, but he was also a little dissatisfied with Dean Sun's attitude: "Dean Sun, speak responsibly. Also millennium ginseng? Are you making movies? β
"I'm not kidding." Dean Sun has seen a lot of big and small officials, and he is really not afraid of Zuo Shiji, so he said quite hardly: "If you can really get me a thousand-year-old ginseng, my old grandson doesn't dare to say anything else, at least I can keep Zuo Lao safe for ten years." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zuo Shiji stopped talking.
In this era, let alone thousand-year-old ginseng, finding a century-old ginseng can make the media hype for a while.
At this moment, a person ran over from a distance, it was Zheng Wufeng.
Dean Sun was furious: "Who is that, you are not allowed to run around in the hospital." β
Zuo Shiji was in a bad mood, and after seeing that it was Zheng Wufeng, he scolded angrily: "Zheng Wufeng, stop for me." β
"Director Zuo, Dean Sun." Zheng Wufeng hurriedly stopped his pace and stood upright.
"Don't you know what this place is, what are you running around?" Zuo Shiji said angrily: "Get out." β
"Director Zuo......" Zheng Wufeng also realized that he was out of shape, but still said: "I want to see the photo of Zuo Lao." When I went to pack my things just now, Lao Zhao said that he had already sent them. β
"What pictures are you looking at?" Zuo Shiji was even more angry.
Zheng Wufeng stubbornly said: "It's a photo of Zuo Lao and General Zuo, and there is a person in it......"
Zuo Shiji opened his mouth, wanting to scold but couldn't say anything.
This Zheng Wufeng is notoriously hot-tempered. If he was going to do something, it would be useless for anyone to come unless his immediate boss spoke. But if you want to protect the leader, you really need such people.
Moreover, Zheng Wufeng is very principled in doing things, and he will never do much unless it is related to the task he is on.
"What the hell is going on? You know discipline. Zuo Shiji said patiently: "There is nothing special, even I can't enter the old man's room casually." β
"Look at this." Zheng Wufeng took out Zuo Han's photo from his pocket and handed it over.
Zuo Shiji took a look at it and asked casually, "Who is this?" β
"One of the people we're investigating." Zheng Wufeng said: "He seems to be exactly the same as the person in Zuo Lao's photo, so I want to confirm it." β
"It's very similar." Zuo Shiji was also a little surprised, but still said: "But he can't have anything to do with the person in the photo." The person in the photo is my second grandfather, who died before the founding of the People's Republic of China. β
"Maybe it's his descendants." Zheng Wufeng insisted.
Zuo Shiji couldn't help but smile: "Your imagination is rich, but that's impossible." The second grandfather was very young at the time and was not married. β
"But that's too coincidental, this person is also surnamed Zuo." Zheng Wufeng frowned, and said to himself: "Could it be that Zuo Han's name is fake......
"Zuo Han ?!!" Before Zheng Wufeng finished speaking, Zuo Shiji's hand shook, and the photo almost fell to the ground.
"You know the name?" Zheng Wufeng's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.
Zuo Shiji opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
How could he not know, every direct member of the Zuo family knew.
Every time there is a family gathering, Zuo Lao and Zuo Yan, who is known as General Zuo, will talk about it repeatedly.
Without the second grandfather, there would be no your third grandfather. Without the second grandfather, there would be no current Zuo family. Your eldest grandfather and third grandfather owe your second grandfather a life.
Your second grandfather, called Zuo Han!
After Zuo Shiji's initial shock, there was a thick doubt in his eyes. In his current position, Zuo Shiji considered something completely different from Zheng Wufeng.
Could it be that someone deliberately got someone who looks the same and wants to fish in troubled waters? But the name Zuo Han is impossible for people outside the Zuo family's direct family to know. And in that photo, there are even fewer people who can see it......
"This man is in control immediately." Zuo Shiji said decisively to Zheng Wufeng: "Regarding this person, don't mention it to the old man at all." β
Zuo Shiji knew that the old man cared very much about his second grandfather, whom he had never met, for fear that he would be stimulated at this time and have some accidents.
I just wanted to instruct Zheng Wufeng to control Zuo Han and find out the truth. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and a young nurse walked out.
"Elder Zuo wants to see you."
Zuo Shiji was annoyed for a while, and the voice he spoke just now was too loud. Subconsciously, Zuo Shiji put the photo in his pocket.
Zuo Shiji and Zheng Wufeng walked into the ward, and Zuo Lao was leaning on the head of the bed, holding a photo frame in his hand.
"Grandpa......" Zuo Shiji just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zuo Lao waving his hand.
"I'm old, but I'm not deaf." Zuo Lao stretched out his hand and said, "Photos." β
Zuo Shiji hesitated, and under Zuo Lao's stern gaze, he reluctantly took out the photo from his pocket and handed it over, and said softly: "Grandpa, there are many people who look alike, don't be too excited." β
"I won't be able to die for a while!" Zuo Lao snatched the photo, took out a pair of reading glasses, and took a closer look.
Looking at it, his hands trembled, his eyes were a little moist, and he muttered, "Like, too similar......"
"Grandpa." Zuo Shiji was a little anxious, and hurriedly comforted: "You calm down." β
Zuo Lao raised his hand, signaled that he was fine, turned to Zheng Wufeng, and said lightly: "I want to know the situation of this person." β
"Yes, Chief!" Zheng Wufeng turned a blind eye to Zuo Shiji's eyes, and reported in a sonorous and powerful manner: "Zuo Han, male, 21 years old, Chinese-American. He entered the country at noon on May 6 and appeared at Hospital 772 two hours later. Because I stopped for a long time to look at the building, it attracted the attention of our security personnel......"
Zheng Wufeng's report was very detailed, and Zuo Lao listened very carefully. After listening, Zuo Lao's eyes flashed, he took a long breath, and sighed: "He came to see me, an old man......"
"Grandpa." Zuo Shiji knew what Zuo Lao was thinking, and couldn't help but say: "I remember you said that the second grandfather is not married, and he does not have a woman he likes......"
"There are some things I haven't told you all." Zuo Lao shook his head and said, "Back then, your second grandfather was a member of the gang, and it was not strange that he acted like Meng Lang and raised a woman behind his family's back. β
Zuo Shiji's heart jumped inexplicably, and he wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Zuo Lao.
"Shiji, I don't care what you think......" Zuo Lao stared at Zuo Shiji's eyes and said word by word:
"I want to see him!"
