Chapter 268: Ambition
Coming out of the hospital, Xue Fan didn't go back to the Su family directly, when he went to the hospital, he was full of anger, but when he came out, it was a very strange feeling, he was going to Zhang's house, at this moment, he felt that it was necessary to go
As soon as I arrived at the door of Zhang's house, I saw my eldest cousin Zhang Hao standing there waiting, and when I saw Xue Fan, he immediately greeted him, "My dad called me and asked me to pick you up, saying that you will definitely come today, grandpa is entering the vacant room alone, I didn't dare to go in, or you go" Zhang Hao came up is a call Xue Fan nodded, it seems that the uncle knows himself very well, and even if he wants to come to Zhang's house, he can guess that there is no pop-up window
"Don't worry, my grandfather who has nothing to do is angry with me, watch me make him happy" Xue Fan patted his cousin's shoulder, said with a smile Zhang Hao nodded, and took Xue Fan into the room when he walked into Old Man Zhang's room, Xue Fan was very sensitive to find that the grandfather was wiping with a gun, carefully, as if he was looking at an old friend, his eyes were full of affection
"Do you know whose gun this gun is?" The old man didn't raise his head and said, "If my guess is correct, this should be Grandpa Wang's spear back then?" "Old man Xue Fan Dao was a major general when he was awarded the title for the first time in Huaxia, and he was qualified to carry a gun
"Well, it's his spear, over the years, every time I think of him, I will take it out and wipe it, when I see it, I will think of Lao Wang, I will remember the scene when everyone went into battle to kill the enemy, your grandfather Wang had a hard life, he was a posthumous son, he grew up eating a hundred family meals, and then their village was slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, he escaped, and later joined the army and I were in the same army, and got married once, but his wife also died in a battle with the spies, leaving a child Later, in order to protect me, he also left" Old Man Zhang said slowly, as if he was telling a story Xue Fan was silent for a while, and was just about to sit down
"Standing and talking, I didn't let you sit" Old man Zhang said very sternly Xue Fan was stunned, this is the first time his grandfather treated him like this, he couldn't adapt to it, smiled bitterly, and said: "Grandpa Wang has a great favor to the Zhang family, I know this."
"Why do you do this? The Wang family is left with Wang Bin as a lone seedling, do you know how you will make him live the rest of his life if you do this? Old Man Zhang asked, "Zhi Lu Dao, you will never be able to get out of a military prison for the rest of your life" Xue Fan replied, "You know better than anyone what will happen if you poke this thing out, but you still did it, can't you let him live freely outside?" "Old man Zhang is obviously a little excited, originally with the old man's experience in doing things for so many years, and he has seen so many winds and waves, he will not get out of control so much, but the only descendant of saving his life was sent to prison by his favorite nephew himself, which made him a little unable to accept the entry of the older generation, especially Mr. Zhang
"It's enough for him to shoot what he did" Xue Fan replied confidently Old man Zhang was silent, it is difficult to choose in terms of affection and righteousness, if it is an ordinary thing, the old man will not say anything, righteousness is important, especially the old people of their generation, who shed so much blood and sacrificed so much in exchange for a peaceful and prosperous world, how difficult it is, for the sake of the country, they were born and died, putting life and death aside, and the truth that the country is important is needless to say
"But ......" Old Man Zhang raised his head suddenly, and saw the firm look in Xue Fan's eyes at a glance, and he couldn't say anything he should say, at this time his heart was very complicated, and he didn't know whether it was sad or happy
"Grandpa, I don't need to tell you the truth, you know better than me, but I don't think I did anything wrong, I will definitely stick to the insistence that I should use, if it weren't for your feelings, he Wang Bin, I really want to shoot him" Xue Fan said in a deep voice, "What?" You're bullish now, it's great to be a colonel at a young age, and you can find out some news at will if you have a good relationship with Huo Yaoqi? Jing Ran also investigated the information of a major general, Colonel Xue, you are very remarkable, o Ah also instructed a lieutenant general to do things for you, do you have capital? Old Man Zhang stood up suddenly, came to Xue Fan and shouted Xue Fan was suddenly startled when he heard it, it seems that his grandfather knows everything, and he even knows what he has done, "Is there nothing to say?" Tell me, what is your current status? Who gave you this right? Don't forget, although your identity information is confidential, there are still people who can know the way, and you think everyone is blind? Or is it a fool to don't enter? Your words and deeds are now hanging with the Supreme Chief."
"What does that have to do with this?" Xue Fan was unconvinced, "Yes, I admit that no matter what you do, you are right, and the supreme leader may be very happy to cheer for you, but if you think about what you have done in the recent period, don't you think it's too high-profile?" You must know that you haven't gained a firm foothold yet," Old Man Zhang continued, these words gathered in Xue Fan's mind like an initiation, making his mind very clear at the moment, and his back was also cold
From the time the supreme leader gave him the task, gave him the right, and gave him the rank of colonel, which made Xue Fan very excited, he felt a little bit of the country in his hands, he felt a little hot before doing a lot of things, his mind was a little not so sober, and the magic of power made him lose his direction a little, and gradually he had the posture of doing his own thing
Now that he was scolded by his grandfather like this, he finally understood what he was wrong, and he also understood that his grandfather didn't blame himself at all, but used what happened today to wake himself up and make himself sober
"Grandpa, I will be thoughtful in doing things in the future" Xue Fan said very sincerely, "Not only that, but also have a view of the overall situation, many things are not as simple as you think, do you think the Green Gang is so easy to destroy?" Do you think Wang Bin can be a major general without two brushes? It's just that you stand on reason, don't worry too much about it, but a lot of what you use is clever, to put it bluntly, this is a small conspiracy, but the conspiracy is a small way, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, only Yang Mou is the king, understand? The first time the old man Zhang said these truths to Xue Fan Xue Fan listened carefully to the knowledge taught by the old man, because in the previous life, he was almost mixed at the bottom, and Xue Fan's vision and overall situation were restricted, which also determined his way of doing things, and he was a little childish in many aspects, which was normal
To use a not very appropriate analogy, the children in the city and the children in the countryside will live in different environments, their visions will be different, the way they do things and speak will be different, and the way they deal with things will not be the same
This is also one of the reasons why it is not easy for the grassroots class to become big officials in later generations, but it doesn't matter, the horizons can be broadened, and the overall situation can also be cultivated, as long as there is a suitable environment, these are not problems
"Grandpa, I understand" After Xue Fan finished speaking, he gave the old man a respectful salute, and the old man Zhang accepted it calmly, and taught Xue Fan Chunchun: "Grandpa knows that you don't want to develop in the army, and then you don't seem to have much interest in business, everything is handed over to Don Jin to take care of, and there are few times when you experience it yourself, it is completely like a hands-off shopkeeper, since you don't want to do it yourself in the army and business, then you tell me, what do you want?" Let's just say whatever you want, it's okay."
"In fact, for so long, I have also been thinking about what I want to do, when the supreme chief gave me a colonel, I was really excited, glad that I finally had a foundation, and in the future these forces can be used by me, this feeling is really good, but when I calmed down and thought about it, I realized that these are not what I wanted, since I was a child, I admired my father very much, because he can manage so much income, can seek happiness for so many income, and can get up early and work for the people
At the time, when my father was still in a county town in Jiangnan Province as a county party committee Tengji, I was still very young, and there was a father who was going to be transferred away, at that time when I left, I saw a lot of people coming to see us off, it was raining so much, many people didn't bring umbrellas at all, but they still came at that time I saw my father say goodbye to them one by one with tears, and the people were also very reluctant, and there were many crying there, so many years, this scene has been imprinted in my mind like a stone carving" Xue Fan's eyes flashed faintly with tears, In a rather proud tone, he said that he was proud of his father, and he asked Xue Bing in person not long ago, just one sentence: "Dad, do you think it's worth it for so many years?" ”
Xue Bing didn't hesitate at that time, but patted Xue Fan's shoulder, nodded affirmatively, his eyes were extremely firm, and said in a tone that Xue Fan couldn't understand: "The moment I saw the people under my rule smiling at me, I felt that everything was worth it, if I was given the opportunity to choose again, I would still make the same choice."
After listening to Xue Fan's words, Old Man Zhang smiled very happily, nodded, pondered for a while, and said to Xue Fan: "Grandpa understands the path you want to take, since this is your own choice, we all respect your choice, when you decide, don't regret it, you have to go forward."
"Yes, Xiao Fan keep in mind his grandfather's teachings" Xue Fan said very solemnly, "Then you have been safe in the past two years, the things you did before were too high-profile, and the tasks given to you by the chief who will have hidden dangers in the future must be completed in these two years, and it will help you in the future" Old man Zhang pointed Xue Fan nodded, "Remember grandpa's words, we will always stand behind you, since you have great ambitions, we will all support you to the last moment, how far you can go depends on your own efforts and luck"
Many years later, Xue Fan recalled his grandfather's words again, he really understood the true meaning of this sentence, and he could understand what it means to support you to the last moment
