Father just asked Zhang Xiaoya to take two people to see her grandfather, and did not say who these two people were. When she saw that it was Wang Qiao, she was surprised and said, "Why are you?" King's Bridge. ”

Wang Qiao had an impression of the woman in front of him, knowing that she was a junior classmate of the same department at Shannan University, and she was often with Chu Xiaozhao, and said: "I remember that your name is Zhang Xiaoya, but I didn't expect it to be Secretary Zhang's daughter." ”

Zhang Xiaoya said curiously: "Is there something wrong with my grandfather?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "I am from Changdong, and my hometown is Erdaogui in Liuhe Town. ”

Zhang Xiaoya still didn't understand the reason, and said, "Is this related to my grandfather?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "Now I'm not sure if it's related to your grandfather, but I'll know when we meet." ”

Zhang Xiaoya said: "Then let's go, go out and take a taxi." ”

"We have a car downstairs, just drive over." Wang Xiao said curiously: "You know my brother?" ”

"I am also from Shannan University, the same department. Wang Qiao is the school's most influential figure. Zhang Xiaoya remembered the scene when Chu Xiaozhao came back from Changdong and cried all day long, and couldn't help but say in a slightly mocking tone: "Many girls and children in our department worship him, and some people have an illness when they come back from Changdong." ”

Zhang Xiaoya is Zhang Dashan's daughter, an important member of the Zhang family, and she is a person who knows herself well, Wang Qiao didn't want Zhang Xiaoya to leave a bad impression on herself, and explained: "You're talking about Chu Xiaozhao." This is her unilateral idea, I didn't respond at all, let alone sticky, and the responsibility should not be on me. If I had no intention of dwelling on it, then I would be responsible. ”

"You seem to have a point." Zhang Xiaoya quickly recalled Chu Xiaozhao's emotional experience in her mind. Indeed, as Wang Qiao said, Chu Xiaozhao almost didn't get the opportunity to meet Wang Qiao alone. From this point of view. Wang Qiao is indeed very manly, much stronger than some flower men who are mixed with women. She came from a military family. Most of the men in the family are heroic. In particular, my grandfather has always been proud of his military life, working in the local area for a long time, and still wearing a white-washed old-fashioned military uniform after retirement.

The three of them went downstairs, and when they waited for the bus together, Zhang Xiaoya found that Wang Qiao was not as hateful as she imagined. At that time, when Chu Xiaozhao came back from Changdong, he was very sad and sick, and after hearing what happened to Chu Xiaozhao, everyone in the dormitory was indignant at Wang Qiao. They all denounced Wang Qiao as a negative man. Zhang Xiaoya also had a bad opinion of Wang Qiao, thinking that Wang Qiao was a playboy and a kind of character.

This bad opinion was originally thought to be justified, but who knew that Wang Qiao's light words made Zhang Xiaoya feel that there was really no reason to be angry. Love is two-sided, and just because one party has love, the other party must accept it.

I got in a car downstairs and drove all the way to Dongcheng District.

Wang Qiao drove, and Wang Xiao and Zhang Xiaoya sat in the back row. Wang Xiao is older than Zhang Xiaoya and has much richer life experience. Interested in having a good relationship with Zhang Xiaoya, he talked about the old interesting things that happened in Changdong that year.

Wang Qiao basically didn't interject, drove the car, and analyzed what would happen when he met Zhang Dacang. It doesn't matter what happens when you meet. At least on the surface, the Zhang family still attaches great importance to the Wang family's relatives, and it can be seen from the Zhang family's attitude that Wang Zhenhua is definitely not the kind of person who completely forgets his roots.

The car drove past the provincial government's family home, and about 200 meters adjacent to the family home, there was a housing with an electric system. Wang Xiao asked, "Xiaoya." Your grandfather always lived here? After a period of driving, she skillfully removed the word 'Zhang' from Zhang Xiaoya. directly became "Xiaoya".

And Zhang Xiaoya also accepted this title and said: "My grandfather has always refused to come to Yangzhou. Later, my dad was transferred back, and he was willing to move in. He used to live in the old cadre house in Jingzhou, which had a house, and there were some open spaces in front and back, and a lot of vegetables were planted in it. ”

Wang Xiaodao: "I can't see the land idle, this is the biggest characteristic of Shannan people, as long as there is a large open space in the bath, there will definitely be a few vegetables, plant some pumpkins or something, and it is very rewarding." ”

Jingzhou old cadres are not far from Jingzhou Tobacco Factory, every day there are many old men of the old cadres to the garden of the tobacco factory to walk around, the tobacco factory has specially said hello, these old men look bad old men, but everyone has a lot of relationships behind them, therefore, the guards are not allowed to prevent these old men from coming to the garden, except for the workshop that can not enter, they can enter wherever they want. Most of these old men have lived through the war years, and they all know the rules, only walking in circles in the garden, playing tai chi, and never stepping into the office building of the tobacco factory.

Wang Qiao has been to the Yanchang Hotel a lot over the years, and he has seen a lot of old people who have slipped around, but I don't know if he has seen Zhang Dacang.

The power system housing is surrounded by a row of walls, which looks ordinary from the outside, and when you walk into the park, you will find that there are many townhouses inside, and the typical turtle has meat in its belly.

Walking to the second floor, there was an old man with thinning hair and a lot of age spots on his forehead standing at the door, holding a crutch in one hand and looking at Wang Qiao intently.

Zhang Xiaoya said: "Grandpa, my dad asked me to bring two guests over. ”

The old man didn't pay attention to his granddaughter at all, still looking at Wang Qiao, and after a while, he raised his crutch and said, "You are not a kid who used to play in Changdong, like, too similar, well, this bald head is well managed." ”

Wang Zhenhua had short hair during the war years, and he spent a lot of time injured and bald. In Zhang Dacang's eyes, Wang Qiao, who had a bald head, was the head of the regiment back then, and his appearance and expression were very similar.

Wang Qiao said: "Grandpa Zhang has seen me play before? ”

"The ball is played well, but it is too civilized and not wild enough." Zhang Dacang saw Wang Qiao himself, and learned the name of Liuhe Erdaogui, Zhang Dacang already knew that these two people must be the descendants of the regiment leader, and that appearance must not be faked. He said again: "Come into the house and say, what kind of relationship are you and the head of the regiment?" ”

The title of "head of the regiment" in the Zhang family specifically refers to Wang Zhenhua, Zhang Xiaoya has to go to the Wang family every year to visit Grandpa Wang from birth to the present, and has a deep relationship with the Wang family. Hearing this, she said in surprise: "Grandpa Wang's old family has been killed, why did his relatives suddenly appear." ”

Wang Qiao glared at Zhang Xiaoya and said, "Most of my relatives were killed by the homecoming group, and my father was seven years old at the time and escaped by luck. ”

Zhang Dacang waved his crutch and said, "Come into the house and follow me." He came to the table, picked up a teacup, and said, "This is the head of the regiment, where is your father?" ”

Wang Qiao understood what Zhang Dacang meant, walked to the table, picked up a teacup, parallel to the teacup of the head of delegation, and said: "This is my grandfather, who is a cousin with his cousin, and died at the hands of the homecoming group." ”

He took another teacup, placed it in front of the two teacups, and said, "My grandfather and my cousin have a grandfather in common. ”

Zhang Dacang nodded and said, "Keep swinging." ”

Wang Qiao took three more cups and placed them behind "my grandfather", representing Wang Yongde, Wang Xiao and Wang Qiao. After finishing the order, he put all the cups back into the tea tray and said, "Back then, my grandfather and my cousin lived in a big courtyard and saw each other every day, and my cousin often took my father to play. ”

Zhang Dacang just took out a cigarette from a corner, and before he could light it, he was snatched away by Zhang Xiaoya, and said, "Grandpa, you can't smoke, and you're foul." ”

Zhang Dacang said perfunctorily: "I'll smell it, don't smoke it." He put the cigarette to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, sat back on the sofa, meditated for a while, then walked to the table, picked up the phone, and turned back and said, "Girl, bring the notebook and turn it to Guodong's phone." ”

Zhang Xiaoya said: "Grandpa, why don't you call Grandpa Wang directly?" ”

Zhang Dacang said: "The regiment commander has a bad heart, and he won't be able to stand it when he hears the news, so he will call Guodong first." ”

Wang Qiao and Wang Xiao glanced at each other, there was indescribable relief in their eyes, Zhang Dacang was the person who was most familiar with Wang Zhenhua, through his reaction, it could be seen that Wang Zhenhua was still quite affectionate, which was different from the strange things that were occasionally talked about in the countryside.

The phone was connected, and Zhang Dacang said loudly: "Today, a boy and a girl came to my house and called the head of the regiment as my cousin." ”

Wang Guodong was sitting in the office talking to someone, and if he hadn't seen this caller ID, he would definitely not answer. When he heard what Zhang Dacang said, he frowned and said, "All the relatives in my hometown died back then, and my father asked the nearby villagers at that time, and he was killed." ”

Zhang Dacang didn't explain, and said: "I've seen someone here, and I can't be wrong, it's your Wang family's species, and the head of the regiment is very similar when he was young." He turned back to Wang Qiao and asked, "What's your father's name?" ”

Wang Qiao said: "Wang Yongde." ”

Zhang Dacang said again: "There is a man named Wang Yongde, who often played with your father when he was a child. ”

If there is a relative that Dad knows, then it will definitely not be fake, Wang Guodong became excited, first covered the phone with his hand, and said to the person who was talking: "I have something urgent today, let's talk about it another day." ”

The man quickly stood up, nodded and said, "Minister Wang, then I'll report back another day." ”

Wang Guodong said: "Qiu Hall, let's continue to talk another day." Watching Qiu Hall exit the office, he said: "My dad is very ill, without further ado, let those two come over quickly, you have to hurry up, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." ”

Zhang Dacang got the letter and immediately called his son Zhang Dashan again.

Half an hour later, Zhang Dashan returned home and said, "I think we will go to Guangnan in two batches, Xiaoya and Wang Qiao will fly to Guangnan tonight, and me, Wang Xiao and Wang Xiao's parents will take the next flight." ”

Wang Xiaodao: "My dad and my mom are coming?" ”

Zhang Dashan said: "You call your parents immediately, and then I will ask the Changdong Electric Power Bureau to send a car to pick it up, and rush to Yangzhou as quickly as possible." ”

Zhang Dacang paused heavily on the ground with his crutch and said, "I, why don't you have me, I'm going too." ”

Zhang Dashan said: "Dad, it's best not to travel long distances at your age, it's too hard to take the train." ”

Zhang Dacang said: "Then I'll take a plane." ”

Zhang Dashan said: "I don't care, I'm going anyway." ”

Zhang Dashan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll accompany you on the train and book a soft sleeper, and Wang Xiao and his parents will also take a soft sleeper." ”

Looking at this frame, Zhang Xiaoya knew that Wang Qiao was really a relative of Grandpa Wang, the Wang family and the Zhang family had been in the same boat for decades, and they had long been indistinguishable from each other, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were a family, which means that this proud guy will also be his own family.
