Chapter 51 Cheng Zhichao enters the Grand View Garden
Longing is longing, but unfortunately in the end, it is still a cat biting urine bubbles, and there is a joy in the air, just because when it was almost dark, Zhao Jiyong received a call from Zheng Huaizhu, saying that there was something temporary, he had to go out, and he would have to come back in a few days, and the evening program could only be canceled. Although Zhao Jiyong was a little disappointed in his heart, Zheng Huaizhu was different from them, after all, they were in school, they had already entered society, and they had their own careers, so they couldn't always play with them.
This is also the sorrow of a lot of small hair, when I was a child, I was so good that I couldn't wait for two people to wear a pair of pants, but when I grew up, I became a family, and after I had my own career, the connection between them became less and less. At least until I can see each other during the New Year's holidays and disasters, I usually don't even see each other at all.
In the next few days, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, two big idlers, in addition to pursuing the fun of childhood in the courtyard, went to Lao Jiang to mingle, and a soak was a day. I went after breakfast in the morning, went home at dinner in the evening, and simply had a big meal with the soldiers in the canteen of the guard company at noon, which was busier than the people who worked in the compound.
Cheng Weiguo and Zhao Dongjin also have to be busy with their own work every day, and they don't have time to care about them at all, as for Shan Weiqing and Liang Yuying, they all know in advance that these two children will not be free for long, and at the end of the year, eighty percent of them will be stuffed into the train and sent to the army without their knowledge, and they can't bear to restrain them too much. Therefore, in the past few days, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong have lived a fairy life.
Seven or eight days later, Zheng Huaizhu returned. The relationship between this pillar brother and the two younger brothers, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, is really good, and the first thing he did when he came back was to find the two of them.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening, but the sun had just set, the sky had just darkened, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong had just come back from Lao Jiang, followed Cheng Zhichao back to Cheng's house, and sat on the sofa and didn't plan to move the place, it seemed that they were going to have dinner at Cheng Zhichao's house.
The two of them have been eating each other since they were children, and if you look at it from this aspect, it is really difficult to judge which family these two people are. Cheng Weiguo and Shan Weiqing were not surprised for a long time, and they also regarded Zhao Jiyong as their own son in their hearts, and they did not have any life. A few people were chatting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for the orderly pony to have dinner, and at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. After the pony opened the door, he saw Zhao Huaizhu squeezing in through the crack in the door with a smile on his face.
Although they play together until they are big and small, but after all, there is a relative who is estranged and close, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong are as good as one person, Cheng Weiguo and Zhao Dongjin and others love each other almost indistinguishably from each other. But Zheng Huaizhu didn't have this treatment, and he rarely came to the door, Cheng Weiguo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Zheng Huaizhu enter the door, sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Ouch, it's Huaizhu, sit down." β
Zheng Huaizhu did not sit down directly, but came to Cheng Weiguo, bowed slightly to Cheng Weiguo, said hello, and then sat on another sofa. Although this bow is more like a nod, Cheng Weiguo looked very happy, and said with a smile: "You kid, you can't go to the door a few times a year, why are you so free today?" I can see your father every day, but I can't see your mother, is she okay? β
Zheng Huaizhu's father and Cheng Weiguo work in the same office area, so naturally they can see each other every day. But his mother's health is not very good, she retired early, and concentrates on recuperating at home.
Zheng Huaizhu was extremely humble, bowed his head and said: "Uncle Cheng cares, my mother's body is still the same, there is no strictness, and it has not improved." β
Shan Weiqing was originally helping in the kitchen, but when he heard Zheng Huaizhu's visit, he put down the work in his hand, whispered a few words to Xiaoma and others, wiped his hands and walked out, and said with a smile as he walked: "Oh, Huaizhu is here, this is a rare guest, don't leave tonight, eat something simple at Auntie's house, Auntie will make you wild vegetables later, this is a good thing, just picked from the mountain, and you can't get it when you are free." When you're done, bring some to your mom too. β
Zheng Huaizhu had already sat down on the sofa, and when he saw Shan Weiqing coming out, he hurriedly stood up again and said hello to Shan Weiqing again.
When Cheng Zhichao heard the wild vegetables, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked eagerly: "Mom, where did the wild vegetables come from?" β
Shan Weiqing glared at him, did not answer, continued to look at Zheng Huaizhu with a smile, and just wanted to tell Xiao Ma to prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks, but Zheng Huaizhu said with a smile: "Auntie, don't bother, even if you take wild vegetables, no one in our family will make them." I'm here today, just looking for Xiaochao and Jiyong, I haven't seen them for half a year, I miss them a lot, I want to take them out to play at night, have a meal, I don't know if it's convenient? β
Shan Weiqing's expression froze, and he quickly glanced in the direction of Cheng Weiguo, and said, "You kid, you have all played together since you were a child, what's inconvenient about going out to play?" Lao Cheng, you don't have anything to talk to the children at night, do you? β
Cheng Weiguo also changed color slightly, snorted softly in his throat, and said expressionlessly: "I'm busy in the unit every day, and you won't let me relax when I get home?" If you have anything to say to the two of them, go ahead. Come back early. β
Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong knew that he was going to take them out to play as soon as Zheng Huaizhu first entered the door, and they were both surprised and happy. It's not that they haven't seen much of a scene, it's that they've been on vacation for several days, just wandering around this compound, stuffy to death. Mobile phone, for example, Cheng Weiguo will no longer reimburse the phone bill during the holiday, and he usually doesn't dare to contact his classmates, after all, it costs money to make calls, if you are in arrears, if you are really in a hurry, it will be difficult to get in touch. The environment is special, if you want to call your own landline, you have to transfer through the switchboard of the GuΓ² Military Region, and sometimes you have to wait for ten minutes to call an outside line, which is not something that Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong can bear.
Now I finally have a chance to go out and breathe, and of course I'm so excited. The only thing I'm worried about is that I don't know why, I always feel that Cheng Weiguo and others have an indescribable feeling about this Zheng Huaizhu, for fear that Cheng Weiguo's temper will come up and he won't let himself go out, which will be miserable. Fortunately, Cheng Weiguo is not an unreasonable person, and without hesitation, he opened his golden mouth to rest assured, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief. ,
Zheng Huaizhu was extremely happy when he got Cheng Weiguo's approval, and stood up with a smile: "Uncle Cheng is fine, then we will go out, and there are still a few friends waiting to meet my two little brothers." β
Shan Weiqing's expression changed, he laughed dryly, and advised: "Then you should be careful when you go out, come back early, and don't make trouble outside." β
"Aunt Shan, look at what you said, I took Xiaochao and them out for a meal, sang songs, and played, what else could they do? Rest assured. As he spoke, he led Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong out of the door.
After the three of them walked away, Shan Weiqing's brows furrowed, and he complained to Cheng Weiguo: "Old Cheng, why didn't you stop them just now?" Let the two children go out with him, you can also rest assured? β
Cheng Weiguo smiled: "What's not to worry about?" It's just going out for a meal and having fun, what else can happen? I found that you are always worrying about the sky day by day, super super such a big person, what else can't you handle by yourself? β
"What can he handle? If he could handle things, he wouldn't have fought with those thugs in the hospital, and he wouldn't have fallen in love with the daughter of a gang boss. Ever since he had an accident on the beach, I've been terrified, for fear that something will happen to him. β
As soon as this topic was mentioned, Cheng Weiguo's expression became solemn, and he let out a long sigh: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and the only thing we can do now is to go with the flow and let the two of them spend the half year in peace." Half a year later, let Lao Zhao take a look at the situation, and if the situation is not good, send them away. After a while, I'm going to go to further education, and I can't leave them alone for the time being. β
Shan Weiqing sat beside him with a sad face: "I don't know what's wrong, everything has rushed together." At this juncture, you have to go to further study, and if you study two years later, you may be able to watch them. β
Cheng Weiguo laughed: "You, I don't know what is in your head, you didn't let me go to further study before, you nagged hard, from morning to night, in my ear from morning to night, who is going to study again, who is going to be promoted again." Now that I'm finally about to be promoted, and you said that it's not the right time to go, or you can call the Military Commission and ask them to cancel my training? β
Shan Weiqing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You can still laugh, now that the child is involved with the underworld, you don't know how to be in a hurry as a father." I can tell you, if our super super really affects our future because of this matter, I will not be finished with you. β
"Don't worry, I've already asked the people from the Coastal Army Division to investigate, and I don't see any problems for the time being."
"What did the people over there say?"
"Fang Yueyuan is indeed as we know, and he can be regarded as a character on the coastal underworld. And it is understood that there is a group of people around him, all of whom came down and down the front line with him back then. After these people were discharged from the army, they had no ability, and they couldn't mix up, so it can be said that in order to make a living, they could only form a small group and engage in some underground activities, and Fang Yueyuan was the leader of these people. These people have no ability, but they all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they all have a ruthless spirit, and in just a few years, they have made a lot of ground in the seaside. β
Shan Weiqing was shocked when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "After these people are discharged from the army, isn't the country all settled down for them?" Why do you want to do such a thing? β
Cheng Weiguo's face sank and he didn't answer. As the chief of staff of the large military region, he certainly has more say than Shan Weiqing on the issue of the way out for veterans. In fact, there are so many veterans in the country every year that it is impossible for everyone to be properly resettled. The urban soldiers can be better, and they will generally be assigned a job, while the rural soldiers will simply come and go wherever they come, except for the Tibetan soldiers, most of them will go home to farm. Society is in the throes of reform, and those veterans who have not been properly resettled, in order to survive, have embarked on this road of no return, especially the veterans of the Vietnam War in the seventies and eighties, these people have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. After the war, they did not get the ideal treatment in their minds, and the imbalance in some people's hearts was brought into full play.
This problem is no longer a simple military matter, but has gradually evolved into a social problem, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and Cheng Weiguo does not want to waste too much saliva on this issue. After a long sigh, he wiped his face: "Forget it, don't discuss this issue, eat, eat." Pony, is the meal ready? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Cheng family's meals had already been prepared, and they were waiting for the chief of staff to give an order, but the meals of Zheng Huaizhu and the others were not ready. Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong have never been to this kind of occasion, and they don't know what the grade of the place they are in, but they only know that although they are mentally prepared, they are still startled when they first enter the door.
Needless to say, the figure and appearance of the welcome lady at the door are excellent, and the palatial hall is enough to shock Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, the two earthen buns in the center of the governmentβthe entire architectural layout is completely modeled after the medieval European-style court, with two rows of tall columns at each end, and a row of crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, reflecting the dazzling marble floor at their feet. If it weren't for Zheng Huaizhu leading, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong would not have had the courage to walk into this kind of place.
Zheng Huaizhu was familiar with the road, and when he saw that the two of them were a little cramped, he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, these things are bluffing, you two just need to remember that you are both from famous families, although you have no money on you, but in terms of family background, you don't know how many times more noble than the nouveau riche with a bag in it and a large pile of cash in the bag." β
What he instilled in Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong is nothing more than the difference between a family and a nouveau riche, the purpose is to cheer up Cheng and Zhao, but he ignores one point, the two sons of the family who have been strictly disciplined by their parents since they were children, when they first came to this kind of occasion, they were really not as good as a nouveau riche.
Until a waiter led them to a private room, Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong had not woken up from the shock.
