Chapter 147: The Xu Family
The thin monkey accompanied the side, not talking much, today's conversation, he just accompanyed, and even the secrets involved in it, he could only put it in his heart, but he swore in his heart that this conversation could only rot in his heart, and he didn't dare to mention it, after seeing Xu Yiming and Jiang Chengjun in the Swan Hotel, that kind of absolute killing method, the thin monkey's fear of the two of them in his heart has not been erased.
"Yiming, can you tell me about your grandfather's situation?" Jiang Chengjun said, he was eager to know about Lu Dao, the deeds of the division commander in his later years.
Xu Yiming didn't feel that there was anything to hide, and said casually, "The old man's name is Xu Guangrong, and he is the principal of a primary school in our Jiangyu Village. ”
Hearing Xu Yiming describe his grandfather, that is, his division commander, Jiang Chengjun was dumbfounded, "I heard that our division commander is the second generation successor of the Xu family in the capital after the founding fathers, and some people say that he is a civilian general, all of whom have been accumulated by military exploits, and I actually don't know the origin of the division commander of Lu Dao!" Jiang Chengjun shook his head, he was just a big soldier in the cooking squad in the 13th Division, how could he know the origin of the legendary iron-blooded general who made the enemy fearful in the Southern Xinjiang Campaign.
Xu Yiming also knew that he was sick and rushed to the doctor, and the old man did not tell him before he died that his life experience must have his intentions.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he is the founding father or not, he has no concept of the Xu family that he has never heard of, because he is just a child adopted by the old man.
The reason why Jiang Chengjun was asked was just curious, the origin of some old men in Jiangyu Village who were disrespectful to the old man, even though Jiang Chengjun didn't know what to do, he didn't force it.
"The Xu family in the capital?" Xu Yiming asked suspiciously.
Seeing Xu Yiming's dazed face, Jiang Chengjun sighed and said, "The Xu family of Marshal Xu Dingguo, who was once one of the founding fathers, is a red family with red roots, and the Xu family, which has been the top gate valve for more than 60 years since the founding of New China. ”
"What?" Xu Yiming's eyes were glazed.
If it is said that Xu Guangrong was once the commander of the 13th Division and was just a bomb, then the Xu family in the capital is an intercontinental missile.
However, after Xu Yiming's initial surprise, he began to calm down, he didn't have any intuitive concept of the Xu family in the capital, he was a little person, a child who was adopted by the old man after being abandoned by his parents.
The Xu family in the capital is too far away for him, who is Xu Dingguo, he knows the way, but how can he not know the founding father who has been propagated in the textbooks?
Even said that he was a student who had been educated in modern history, and he knew the deeds of Xu Dingguo, but whether Xu Dingguo had anything to do with the old man Xu Guangrong or not, this is not something he could know.
This meal, because Jiang Chengjun still needs to go home to take care of his wife, and it is noon, although he is not happy to drink, but the shock to Xu Yiming is indeed incomparable.
He didn't know anything about the old man's origins, and now Jiang Chengjun broke the news again and again.
"But in the end, whether the division commander is the Xu family or not, there are not many people in the entire thirteenth division who know the road, maybe our political commissar knows the road, but after the number of the unit was disbanded, the division commander and the political commissar did not appear in the army, and even later I looked for the old squad leader, and the old squad leader didn't know the news!" Jiang Chengjun said regretfully.
For a while, the atmosphere in the box was a little solidified, Jiang Chengjun woke up from his memories and smiled self-deprecatingly, "If you drink too much wine, there will be more nonsense, let you see and laugh, don't mention this, come, let's go another ......"
encountered trivial matters at home, coupled with reminiscing about his military career back then, Jiang Chengjun's heart was gloomy, even his old army number was scattered, and he has always regarded him as the division commander of the military god since joining the army, so he died silently in a foreign country, Jiang Chengjun felt that the whole division was transferred to the capital that year, not to return to the dynasty and reward the three armies, but that there were some lower-level officers and soldiers, and they couldn't know the high-level struggle, but these speculations, he thought about it, and still didn't tell Xu Yiming.
The thin monkey next to him never interjected, but he was 100% sure in his heart that Xu Yiming was the son of the Xu family.
"Maybe Yiming, you are really the lost descendant of the Xu family!"
Xu Shao, Xu Shao, it's really the Xu family!
"I knew an old man when I was in Panshan Prison, and I also knew my grandfather, called Zhuge Wuhou, I don't know if Brother Jiang has heard of it?" Xu Yiming smiled and didn't pay attention to it, the Xu family was a joke for him.
"What? You say his name is Zhuge Wuhou? In Panshan Prison? It's a political commissar, it's a political commissar, how can a political commissar be in Panshan Prison? Jiang Chengjun was excited.
"If the political commissar of the Thirteenth Division is really called Zhuge Wuhou, he is indeed in Panshan Prison, but why he was imprisoned in Panshan Prison, I don't know Lu Dao, but I know that Grandpa Zhuge is skilled, and he can't even get close to him!" Xu Yiming said.
"That's right, although our political commissar has a military and political cadre and has the reputation of the first army division, he is the second master in the entire division, except that the division commander can fight with him with hand-to-hand, ordinary soldiers, a squad can't get close to him, but I didn't expect that the division commander is gone, and the political commissar is now being held in prison, what happened back then? Why are we born and died on the battlefield, but in exchange for such a result! ”
Jiang Chengjun's voice was a little hoarse, he was just a big-headed soldier back then, and he didn't know what kind of great changes happened to the senior generals of the Thirteenth Division after the commander of the Lu Dao Division, Rujing, was awarded?
But the division commander died and the political commissar was imprisoned, what happened to him?
The 13th Division of that year was the division that often won the Southern Xinjiang Campaign, and it has done many miraculous feats.
There was a crisp sound, but Jiang Chengjun was excited, he used too much force, and crushed the beer cup in his hand, and the broken glass slag pierced into the palm of his hand, and blood suddenly came out, but he didn't seem to realize it, but he muttered unconsciously in his mouth, "Why is this happening?" Why is this happening? ”
Xu Yiming saw that the atmosphere was still a little stuffy, thought for a while and said, "Brother Jiang, it's not too early, sister-in-law still needs you to take care of it, otherwise, I'll settle the account first, and I still need to go to the prison tomorrow to watch Grandpa Zhuge ...... By the way, Brother Jiang, do you want to come with us too? ”
Seeing Xu Yiming mention his lover, Jiang Chengjun came to his senses from his memories, he was no longer a soldier, and the 13th Division was long gone.
Everything that used to be is a thing of the past.
picked up the whole bottle of beer and poured it directly, and then nodded to Xu Yiming, Xu Yiming just wanted to get up, and was pulled by the thin monkey, "Xu Shao, I'll go!" ”
Xu Yiming didn't say anything, and asked the thin monkey to check out, there was not much money for a meal, but the thin monkey rushed to perform, and Xu Yiming didn't hold it.
The thin monkey went out to settle the bill, and in the box, Jiang Chengjun said to Xu Yiming with some anxiety, "Yiming, today, Mr. Hou is no problem, right?" Just now, your brother Jiang was also excited because he saw your military thorn, and he was a little speechless! ”
Xu Yiming shook his head, "It's okay, he is Gong Zheng's person, some things come through his mouth Gong Zheng's ears are also very good, and after the last incident at the Swan Hotel, I think the thin man's courage is estimated to have been broken by the two of us!" ”
Seeing Xu Yiming say this, Jiang Chengjun didn't say anything.
Xu Yiming put away the wooden box and put the military thorn inside, Jiang Chengjun his words, although he questioned it in his heart, but he just didn't want to believe it, he couldn't think of it now hunched over in a small fishing village, and an old man with a military kettle of wine hanging on his mouth all day long, who was a big man, and he was once the youngest general in the republic.
Thinking of the small lonely grave on the hillside of Jiangyu Village, which may have grown wild weeds now, Xu Yiming's heart panicked.
This wine, because talking about the source of the military thorn and the 13th Division, everyone was in a mood, and the atmosphere in the private room was a little sullen.
Especially Jiang Chengjun, ten years after retiring from the army, once again heard people talk about the 13th Division, and the regret in his heart is not enough for outsiders.
When the thin monkey came back, Xu Yiming and Jiang Chengjun were already ready to stop and left the hotel together.
Jiang Chengjun just wanted to walk back by himself, but was pulled into the back seat of the car by Xu Yiming, the luxurious and wide Mercedes-Benz S600L, driving slowly, some warm wind on the street poured all the way into the car window, blowing that Xu Yiming's face was a little hot, and after a while, Mercedes-Benz drove to Qilou Street.
Jiang Chengjun was about to pull the car door and go down, but was stopped by Xu Yiming, "Brother Jiang, wait!" ”
Xu Yiming took out the backpack in the car, which happened to contain the two million cash he had put away, and if there was any hesitation, he handed it directly to Jiang Chengjun.
"Brother Jiang, take it, go and treat your sister-in-law!"
Jiang Chengjun took the backpack suspiciously, but when he opened the zipper and saw the banknotes full of backpacks, he was dumbfounded.
"Yiming, where did you get all this money?"
"I just happen to have some savings, and you also know that my Aunt Wen is the proprietress of Tingchaoxuan, so I learned about you from the madman, so I brought it over to you first!" Xu Yiming didn't tell the source of the money in the end, it was not that he didn't believe Jiang Chengjun's character, but he was worried that Jiang Chengjun would resist the money in his heart.
Jiang Chengjun hesitated for a while, then took out a cigarette and lit it, "Yiming, I can't ask for this money!" ”
"Brother Jiang, we are friends of our lives, I won't say anything superfluous, you also know my sister-in-law's situation, and your family has been living in a miscellaneous courtyard for a while, after all, my sister-in-law's condition needs to improve the environment, and I also need a quiet environment to recuperate, don't you, let's buy a house with this money first, I'm alone now, and I don't need money!" Xu Yiming said.
"Yes, Captain Jiang, my sister-in-law's illness can't be delayed, it just so happens that I know some real estate businessmen here, I will help you contact and inquire another day, and notify you as soon as there is a suitable house!" The thin monkey driving interjected at the right time.
