Chapter 29—The Father and the Son (1)
The clouds in the sky were pressed very low, as if they were on the rooftops, on the treetops, on the tips of the mountains.
There are several places in Wuxian County where there is snow in winter, and one of them is the Hongchi Dam.
In winter, the dam is silent, less noisy in summer and cooler in autumn.
The woods on the hillside are lush and almost all evergreen, and they belong to the secondary forest after the great steelmaking.
Between the trees, there was a pile of snow.
If you accidentally walk on it, you will sink in some places where the fallen leaves are thicker.
"This is completely different from the winter in Jinan written by Lao She?" Wang Lu held a cup of tea and looked through the window at the occasional small white hillside.
"Well, because the vegetation here is a little denser." Wu Shan opened his mouth wide and yawned.
His family has always been the softness of his heart, and he has to squeeze time to go home during the New Year's holidays.
Under his influence, Wu Liquan, who didn't pay much attention to holidays before, rushed back with his family, but they usually have this situation during the Chinese New Year.
The Wu family's house in the county seat, the two old men don't want to live in it anymore.
It is said that the leaves fall back to their roots, and the Wu family has not had many friends even in the county because of the bad composition after liberation.
When Wushan was a child, his grandmother Yang Tianxiu went to the street to buy vegetables, and she rarely stopped to talk.
And the second elder also thinks very well, and now that the status of his son and grandson is becoming more and more prominent, staying at home will make it annoying for those who want to go through the back door to visit every day.
On the Hongchiba side, on the contrary, some filial tyrants bought villas here for their parents, and it didn't take long for them to get acquainted. The relationship seems to be better than the previous neighbors.
The houses in the north are a brick thicker than in the south, and the glass of the windows is also very thick, and there is heating in the house in winter.
In order to make the grandparents live comfortably. At the beginning, Wushan asked them to design this villa according to the houses in the north, and as for the heating, of course, they burned their own boilers.
Wu Liquan was reluctant to get married at first, but now he does have the most children.
In the end, the old man Wu Tianming vetoed all the names he took.
His three sons and two daughters were named Jiajia and Wanshixing in turn.
This name made Wushan feel funny when he thought about it, and the girl's name became Wu Zhengwan, Wu Zhengshi, and Wu Zhengxing.
But the family also gave them nicknames, called Xiaofu, Xiaorong, and Xiaohua. Anyway, it sounds awkward.
It is estimated that the old man feels that their father is now thousands of miles away and is no longer with the rest of the Wu family, and wants to use the name of Wu Liquan's children as a warning.
In previous years, Wu Congying was at home. is a well-deserved child king, this year's Chinese New Year, the German youth group is said to have a ball game, and Sally's mother and son have no time to come back.
So much so that the old man Yang Tianxiu was always asking his grandson in private. Is it that the relationship between the two is not good? Wushan didn't know how to answer.
Although the crusade against Wushan by the domestic gang has come to an end for the time being, it is estimated that it is because Sally and her mother and son have disappeared, so they have died down.
If they were in China, maybe even the photos would be secretly taken and used as evidence for the attack.
Sally is a woman of general knowledge, silently making sacrifices.
Now, Xiaofang has become the king of children.
Xiaohua was as steady as ever, whispering something with Wu Zheng's family, Wu Zheng and his brothers. After all, he had only been to South Africa once, and he longed for that land.
Wu Conglang has no doubt. became the darling of the four aunts, and had a lot of fun playing behind their butts.
"Grandma, this yellow chicken seems to be laying eggs!" He ran over and shouted as if he were offering a treasure.
"Really?" As soon as the old man Yang Tianxiu stretched out his hand, the pale yellow hen lay on the ground obediently.
She used her right index finger to poke into the chicken's butt: "Yo, I'm so big, how do I know it's going to lay eggs?" ”
"I see it walking up and down the house and singing." Wu Conglang's face was full of excitement.
The old man Yang Tianxiu crutches, took the hen in his hand and walked to the chicken coop in the yard and threw it in, and covered it with a bamboo basket.
"Grandma, will the yellow chicken mother be suffocated to death?" Wu Conglang asked innocently with a small face.
"No," Yang Tianxiu lovingly touched his great-grandson's head: "It will lay out the eggs in a while, and I will cook them for you, okay?" ”
"Good!" Wu Conglang clapped his hands and cheered, and said seriously: "Then I have to give my aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, and fifth aunt to eat." ”
"It's all, it's all there!" The old lady laughed.
The Wu family's house in Hongchiba is a three-story courtyard house, and from the windows, you can clearly see what happened on the first floor.
Wang Lu looked at this qiē with great interest, turned her head sharply, and saw that her husband's moldy head was still wrinkled tightly.
"What's going on?" She asked with concern.
There is also a little jealousy in my heart, although Sally and her mother are not at home, her husband has been thinking about them.
"Al called me first." Wu Shan raised his head and stretched his waist vigorously, and his head spun two or three times.
"Huh? What's the good thing that guy is looking for you? "Wang Lu usually doesn't gossip so much.
I heard that I wasn't thinking about Wu Congxuan and his mother, so I breathed a sigh of relief and asked involuntarily.
"Arnaya supported a mafia family on the West Coast of Sam back then," Wu Shan said lightly: "This family, with the help of the Agnelli family, faintly competes with the old five families. ”
"Those mafias aren't that scary." Wang Lu pouted: "But those five families are probably restless, and it seems that they are specifically to fight against those people." ”
"It's not just that family that is restless," Wu Shan shook his head: "Sam's government has made a move, as if it is preparing to uproot the mafia forces in Italy." ”
"Underground forces are not allowed in any country," Wang Lu thought thoughtfully: "Do you want to help him?" ”
"How can I help?" Wu Shan spread his hands: "But in the future, we will have fewer natural allies in Sam." ”
"Huh? How dare Sam's government kill people? Wang Lu was puzzled: "Haven't you always flaunted freedom and democracy?" ”
"It's not enough to kill people," Wu Shan waved his hand, "some will be thrown into prison." The others have either been bleached long ago or have to go back to Italy. ”
"That's really a problem," Wang Lu used to be Wang Tiecheng's military advisor. I immediately thought of the key: "When you are abroad, the two sides can cooperate, after all, the influence of the Agnelli family in Sam is not small." ”
"This one was driven back to the nest, and it became a competitive relationship."
"What's the competition?" Wu Shan smiled indifferently: "The Agnelli family is not engaged in the mafia business. However, it is inevitable that the forces that remain in the country will become entangled with the forces that have relocated. ”
"Why don't I think it's reliable for Al to coordinate those people?" Wang Lu giggled: "No wonder he didn't celebrate the New Year in our house this year." ”
There is a nanny hired at home, and she also lives in Wu's house, I heard that it is someone from Ningchanggou, a relative of the old lady's mother's family.
Both of them were loyal. The woman's work is very sloppy, and she doesn't need a helper at all for the family's meals. The only helper is her husband.
From the window, you can see that the middle-aged woman named Sister Chen has prepared breakfast. The two washed up and went straight downstairs to the living room.
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, it is not called breakfast, it is called too early.
The food that is too early is yin rice. It is to fry glutinous rice in oil. Blanch it with boiling water and add some sugar to it and eat it directly.
Adults and children each had a table, and the children looked at the old man Wu Tianming with blank eyes, until he picked up the spoon and began to drink, and then he was busy moving.
The pills of the Tianshan Sect are really good, and the second elder looks full of red light, as if he is only fifty miles away.
"Xiaoshan, you can go to the city after dinner." Wu Tianming finished eating in a few bites. Put down the dishes and chopsticks.
As for Wushan, stir it a few times with a spoon. I had already picked up the bowl and drank it.
"What am I going to do in this weather, Grandpa?" Wu Shan helped the old man get off the table.
"Your grandfather doesn't need your help at all now!" The old man Yang Tianxiu said sourly: "He usually walks and I trot to keep up." ”
Wu Shan couldn't help laughing secretly, it's strange if you can run over, the little feet that have been entangled, and you are limping when you walk.
"What?" Old man Wu Tianming sat on a bamboo chair with a thin quilt: "Your principal arranged the alumni association to the day before Chinese New Year's Eve because of your schedule. ”
"Headmaster?" Wu Shan smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, I don't want to run to the capital for the New Year, didn't I just come back?" ”
"You kid," Wu Shou said angrily, "I thought it was a university when I thought of school, didn't you go to elementary and middle school?" ”
"I don't have any impression of elementary school," Wushan was still yawning: "Isn't there a name in junior high school?" At that time, there was a revolution, and I don't even remember who the head teacher was. ”
"What you kid said," Wu Tianming's old man curled his beard: "One day as a teacher and a lifetime as a father, even if you have not been to school for only one day when you enter the school!" ”
"Principal Zhou Lanquan doesn't want to repay the favor," Wu Shan scratched his head: "Isn't it a bit of a fuss to hold an alumni association for this special trip?" ”
"He's all retired. Besides, it doesn't matter to you, it's a lifesaver for others. The current principal is called Li Jianchu, who used to be a geography teacher in Wuzhong. ”
"Teacher Jianchu?" Wu Shan was dumbfounded: "He is very handsome, but he has a lot of brains for his daughter-in-law's illness." ”
"Nonsense!" Wu Tianming rolled his eyes: "His lover Wen Shicui is alive, when did he get sick?" ”
I'll go! Wushan wants to smack himself in the mouth.
In another time and space, Mr. Jianchu was his geography teacher.
His wife got cancer in '93, and Li Jianchu never gave up.
The fast passage from Yangqiao Dam to Hongchi Dam has long been built, and it only takes about 13 minutes to get to the city from here directly to Yangqiao on the highway to the county seat, through several tunnels.
Seeing his grandson's car scene disappear from sight, Wu Shou turned his gaze back.
Wu Liquan seems to be an extended period of youth rebellion, and after arriving on Hong Kong Island, the relationship with his father has always been lukewarm, and he is very affectionate with the old lady when he goes home.
On the contrary, Wu Lixing was estranged from his old father for several years because of the special period, and now the two of them are together as soon as they come back.
"When you took up your post at the Central Committee for Discipline Inspection and the Discipline Inspection Commission, you didn't make any big moves, and even the newspapers and television had quite a few complaints about the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission." The old man looked at his eldest son with no expression on his face.
"Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, I don't know what kind of person you are? I used to think that you must be looking for the right moment, and it turned out to be what I expected. ”
This is true, Wu Lixing has been forbearance in the director of the county revolutionary committee back then.
As the so-called non-sounding is a blockbuster, it has directly turned Wuxian County into the birthplace of national reform.
"Things that offend people," Wu Lixing smiled helplessly: "As long as an official is not out of line, it is difficult for us to move them." ”
The new team can't shout and kill as soon as it takes office.
What kind of integration department is pure nonsense.
He only raised and strengthened the status of the discipline inspection commission first, and it will be much more convenient for him to act in the future.
"Alas, the world is going down!" Wu Tianming was a little indignant: "Taizu is alive, how can these corrupt officials be allowed to go unpunished?" ”
"The Commission for Discipline Inspection's handling of the case itself is like walking on thin ice, for fear that there will be no evidence and lead to turmoil in the officialdom."
"We can't stop this arrest."
"There's a lot of feuds, right?" Wu Tianming was very worried about his eldest son.
"Make a feud, make a vengeance," Wu Lixing Gujing Wubo: "My behavior in this position." It is required by law. ”
"You also have to pay attention to your body, pay attention to the combination of work and rest." Looking at the few strands of gray hair on his son's sideburns, he felt a little guilty in his heart: "Try to make your life more regular." ”
"Dad, don't worry, I don't want you to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."
Jiang is still old and spicy, and what Wu Tianming said casually is all on the point.
The work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection has just begun. (To be continued......)
