Chapter 132: Meet the Old Man
The jeep drove directly into the Friendship Hotel.
At present, the Great Wall Hotel is the highest-grade hotel in the capital, and many foreign affairs activities are held here.
The shape is square, based on black marble, giving people a very thick and majestic feeling. The Friendship Hotel has been built for a long time, and the main building was built in the fifties, during the honeymoon period with its northern neighbor, and in terms of architectural style, it is inevitable that it will be influenced by Russian style.
"Hongyu, I've already opened the room, let's get together today. Ming'er went to see the old man. ”
Baoxing parked the car and led Fan Hongyu and Gao Jie to the hotel, talking as they walked.
Fan Hongyu suddenly stopped and looked at him in surprise: "Go to see the old man?" ”
Bao Xing seemed even more surprised, and said, "That's right." You're all in the capital, don't you want to see the old man? He has been talking to him several times, saying that he wants to meet you. ”
Didn't you tell Fan Hongyu a long time ago?
"Hongyu, don't be nervous, you just treat this as an ordinary visit, in fact, the old man is quite kind, not as serious as the legends outside."
Bao Xing also understood Fan Hongyu's thoughts, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
Fan Hongyu shook his head lightly, and it was difficult to say anything more. As Bao Xing said, he has already arrived in Beijing, and it would be too rude not to see the old man again, do you really want the old man to use eight sedan chairs to invite him?
Because he said that he would meet the old man tomorrow, Baoxing did not invite other guests, but the four of them had a good gathering in the small box of the Friendship Hotel. Gao Jie and Tong Yu are classmates, they haven't seen each other for a while, and some are talking. Fan Hongyu originally thought that Gao Jie would not be interested in topics such as "trendy fashion", but the two of them chatted enthusiastically, and they were discussing which famous department stores in Beijing to go to have a good shopping and make a big purchase in the past few days.
Seeing Fan Hongyu's eyes widen. Looking very frightened, Gao Jie flattened his mouth and said disdainfully: "Who stipulated that the mayor of the town can't buy good clothes?" ”
"Yes, yes. Absolutely...... It is really a blessing for the vast number of cadres and masses to have such a beautiful mayor in Fenglin Town, not to mention anything else. Every morning, when I wake up, I can see a beautiful landscape, and I am immediately full of energy, and I am very energetic in doing any work. ”
Director Fan immediately began to say a flood of words.
Bao Xing laughed, Tong Yu pursed his lips and chuckled, and secretly pinched Gao Jie under the table, his eyes full of banter.
A subordinate like Fan Hongyu should also be hard to find, right?
At night, Baoxing Tong Yu invited Gao Jie Fan Hongyu to watch a movie.
At that time, there was really little entertainment. There are some new things in Jingshi, such as holding a ball and watching internal movies, but the Baoxing military family and serious field army officers are not so familiar with these entertainments. It's not good to invite Fan Hongyu to a party like that. Fortunately, friends are friends, and it doesn't matter if you want to play new things.
The four of them watched the movie with laughter and laughter, and they were in the same happy mood.
In the evening, we will stay at the Friendship Hotel.
Bao Xing and Tong Yu did not go home. Also stay in a hotel to accompany them.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Baoxing acted as a coachman, sent Gao Jie and Tong Yu to a famous shopping street first, said goodbye to the two with a smile, and then pulled Fan Hongyu and went straight to Xicheng.
In the capital of '87, the traffic flow was not large, the traffic conditions were good, and the traffic was very fast.
It was the torrent of bicycles rolling on both sides of the road that opened Fan Hongyu's eyes. I've only heard of the capital's "army of bicycles" in TV novels before, but this time I've seen it with my own eyes, and it's really spectacular and breathtaking. Although Director Fan is conceited and agile, he also feels that if he wants to ride steadily in such a torrent of bicycles, he may not have enough skills.
Soon, the jeep was driving near a secluded alley.
At the mouth of the alley, there are soldiers with loaded guns standing guard.
This is also a major feature of the capital, and you can see soldiers standing guard everywhere, standing upright and heroic. There are too many important units and big people to protect.
The alley is not spacious, and there are already cars parked inside, so Baoxing parked the jeep at the entrance of the alley and led Fan Hongyu forward on foot. When the soldiers on duty saw Baoxing, they nodded slightly, but did not stop them, and they were obviously very familiar with Baoxing.
Just when spring returns to the earth, on both sides of the quiet alley, you can see some lush greenery from time to time, stretching out from the ancient courtyard, waving in the wind, verdant and dripping, full of vitality, people can't help but feel happy.
Bao Xing pushed open the wooden door of an ancient courtyard house and said with a smile: "It's here, please!" ”
As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by a middle-aged female comrade in her forties, this female comrade was relatively wealthy, and her dress was extremely orthodox, and at first glance, it seemed to be back in the seventies, but with a smile on her face, a dignified face, and great affinity.
"Baoxing, here, this is Comrade Fan Hongyu, right?"
The middle-aged lesbian asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mom, this is Hongyu."
Bao Xing said with a smile.
Fan Hongyu was taken aback, he thought it was the staff next to the old man, but it was Baoxing's mother, it could be seen that Mrs. Bao was here to greet him, this etiquette was really too grand, Fan Hongyu was surprised and moved, and hurriedly bowed deeply to Bao's mother, and said respectfully: "Hello, Auntie!" ”
This is the general's wife!
"Okay, Hongyu, I've wanted to invite you to my house for a long time. It's that you're busy at work all the time...... It's finally here today, please come in. You, just treat this as if it were your own home, and don't see it outside. ”
Bao's mother agreed repeatedly, and then took Fan Hongyu's hand and looked him up and down, smiling. In that situation, it was as if the mother was admiring her child, and Fan Hongyu could fully feel the closeness from the heart, and it was by no means a polite remark that pretended to be easy.
However, in an instant, the distance between him and this courtyard house was shortened, and the mood that was originally a little nervous quickly calmed down.
Mrs. Bao's affinity should also be innate, but I don't know what kind of work she is engaged in. But no matter what job she does, it's definitely a blessing to be able to work with her.
"Come on, come in. It's a bit chilly outside......"
"Yes, thank you, Auntie."
Fan Hongyu still maintained his respectfulness, followed behind Mrs. Bao, and followed into the main hall of the courtyard.
"Old man, Hongyu has arrived."
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Bao smiled and said, her voice was not very loud, and it was expected that the old man was still deaf and clear, and there was no need to speak loudly to communicate.
"Haha, okay, okay, please come in!"
A hearty laugh of slight old age was heard from inside the door.
I saw that in the old hall, there was a half-circle of cloth sofas, which looked very old, and like the office supplies in Fenglin Town, they should have been left over from the fifties and sixties, which can also glimpse the thrifty character of the older generation of revolutionaries.
In the middle of the couch, there was a white-haired old man with a clear face, but his face was full of red, with a cane, his waist was straight, his eyes were blazing, and he looked very energetic.
This is naturally the founding father of Kyushu, the old man Bao.
Next to Old Man Bao, there is an old lady in her seventies, also with gray sideburns, with a rich figure and a kind face, who should be Old Man Bao's revolutionary companion and the hostess of this courtyard.
In the sofa on one side, there is a man in military uniform about fifty years old, whose face is very similar to that of an old lady, with the same waist and straight waist, majestic and majestic.
Baoxing's appearance is more similar to the old man, the two of them go out, without any introduction, others can see at a glance that they are grandchildren.
Fan Hongyu stepped forward quickly, bowed deeply to the old man and the old lady Bao, and respectfully greeted An: "Hello Grandpa Bao!" Hello grandma! ”
"Good, good boy!"
Old Man Bao did not hide his love for Fan Hongyu at all, and praised it repeatedly.
The old lady smiled and couldn't help but look at Fan Hongyu, it was this young man, brave and invincible, who penetrated the encirclement and rescued her grandchildren and daughter-in-law from the "thousands of troops". I saw it today, and it was really a mighty and strong descendant, which was completely consistent with the image that the old lady guessed on weekdays.
After greeting the old man and the old lady, Fan Hongyu immediately turned to Bao Ping'an, bowed respectfully and respectfully, and said loudly: "General Bao is good!" ”
Bao Ping'an didn't look very serious, he smiled, and said slightly teasingly: "Hongyu, you called grandparents, but now you call me General Bao, isn't it a bit favoritism?" ”
Fan Hongyu's face turned slightly red, and he immediately said, "Yes, Uncle Bao is good." ”
"Well, that's fair. In the future, this is also your home, you can come at any time, but don't see us. Come, sit down, sit down, don't be inhibited. ”
Bao Ping'an smiled and nodded, and greeted.
"Yes, thank you, Uncle Bao."
Although Fan Hongyu changed his name, this rule was not chaotic at all, and he bowed slightly again, and then sat down on the sofa opposite Bao Ping'an, with his waist straight, his hands on his knees, his head held high, and his posture was meticulous.
Bao Ping'an bowed his head slightly and said, "Hongyu, I heard that you used to study in a public security school and studied criminal investigation?" ”
"Yes, Uncle Paul. I studied at Hongzhou Public Security School for three years. ”
"Haha, no wonder he has such an obvious military aura on his body. The trainees of the public security school are also under militarized management. Okay, you're good. ”
Mrs. Bao personally served tea to Fan Hongyu.
Fan Hongyu thanked him repeatedly.
Mrs. Bao just went over and sat down next to Bao Ping'an, and Bao Xing sat with Fan Hongyu, took off her hat, and rested it on the coffee table on the side.
In the ancient courtyard, the rigorous style of the army is revealed everywhere.
The military family, undefeated for decades, has its own inheritance worth sticking to. (To be continued)
