121. Return of the original
Everyone else was shocked, Situ's son was now the person above, who could please him?
"I just happened to run into it! How can they all be Situ Ming's sons, why do we have to make the relationship so stiff. "It has always been the deputy squad leader of their class, and he opened his mouth to ease the scene.
Among their group, only Situ's son joined the army, but he has not succeeded in doing anything with him over the years.
Shen Congzhi didn't want the people of the Situ family to be involved, it was obviously Situ Ming's mistakes on the battlefield that led to heavy losses for a company, but those dead soldiers only wanted a name, as Situ Ming's son, this Situ Feng pushed back year by year, and refused to apply for them!
Thinking of the past, some people sighed, "Who would have thought that the best mixed in our group turned out to be the boy of the Situ Ming family!" ”
"The son of a comrade-in-arms, what use can it be, which organ hasn't written a letter from the squad leader all these years, so Situ Feng has not spoken!"
Or are they incompetent, they can't justify their comrades-in-arms!
But let them pick up the gun and go to the front line, no one is afraid, but when it comes to being officials, the twists and turns of the officialdom, they can't figure out who they are.
When Situ Ming came back from the battlefield, he drifted away from them, he climbed higher and higher, the party pushed and pushed, and the bar on his shoulders changed every few years.
Now his son is climbing higher, and he used to call his uncle and uncle in open crotch pants, but now he is afraid that he can't stand together.
Shen Congzhi's face sank, "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" ”
Then he turned around and walked deeper into the park, "Let's go!" ”
They come to the People's Liberation Army Tomb in the depths of this revolutionary park every five years, not all the heroes who died can leave their names on the Monument to the People's Heroes, and there are still a group of people who were not registered that year, they either became volunteers halfway, or local overseas Chinese volunteered to join.
But everyone has a passion for serving the country!
As a result, he left his life on the battlefield, but he was unable to add honor according to the rites of the martyrs.
For this matter, Shen Congzhi asked Situ Ming to help at the beginning, and in the end, Situ Ming was gone, so he asked Situ Feng to react, they were brothers who had spilled blood together!
Situ Feng is the child he has held, fed, and peed on his neck, just hoping that he will react to the above so that they can also enter the monument, but every time he is pushed away by Situ Feng with various excuses.
After a long time, the two naturally have a gap in their hearts.
After the war, Shen Congzhi buried the ashes of these people in this cemetery.
This is his promise to them, if you are alive, you can't return to your homeland, at least if you die, you can stay on this land.
Several old people walked in from the cemetery with the most standardized steps.
Rong Xiu didn't follow, he knew that his grandfather and these elders needed their space, so he stood outside the cemetery and waited.
When he was a child, he also came in with him, and at that time he didn't understand, he didn't understand that these people would talk about three meals a day, computers, high technology, comprehensive national strength, and the cross-strait situation in front of a group of cold tombstones......
It's all gone, what's the point of saying that?
The sky was overcast, and the group of people with long cranes bent over their waists chatted about the changes over the years and the stories of their years in front of the rows of tombstones.
"Rong Xiu!"
As soon as Rong Xiu turned around, he saw Situ Feng standing five meters away in a tall military uniform, with his back straight.
There were two guard cars behind him, and two guards stood two meters away from him.
Situ Feng is definitely the number one person in the Situ family, and Rong Xiu didn't dare to slack off, so he stepped forward in a few steps, "Uncle Situ." ”
He has known Situ Feng since he was a child, and at that time he admired this tough guy with the iron soul of the army, two people who were exactly the same as Rong Xun.
If it weren't for Situ Feng, he wouldn't have promised to take care of Situ Yin at school.
Situ Feng looked at Rong Xiu, the indifference in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "I haven't seen you for a few years, I'm mature, I'm not the immature boy I was back then." ”
Rong Xiu smiled politely, "Uncle is in better spirits, and Uncle also came to visit the martyrs?" ”
Situ Feng's resolute face slowly soothed, and he looked at Shen Congzhi's group with a trace of unrelenting fortitude in his eyes, "But Uncle Lin probably doesn't want to see me." If a bunch of people are added to the monument to heroes, then everyone will ask for it, is there still any meaning in this monument that represents patriotism, dignity and victory? ”
Maybe it's from a different perspective, but for different reasons.
Rong Xiu didn't speak, he didn't have the right to say these words.
Standing in front of these ancestors who fought for the safety of the motherland, he will always be insignificant.
Situ Feng didn't get a response, he looked at Rong Xiu, showing an appreciative look, he has always admired Rong Xiu the most among young people, he won't be too public, he knows when to speak and when to be silent.
"Yinyin, that girl is on your side, didn't cause any trouble, right?"
His daughter's vision has been good since she was a child, and he recognized this son-in-law.
Rong Xiu put his hands in his pockets and looked directly into Situ Feng's eyes, "Situ Yin is your daughter, do you know best whether she will cause trouble?" The eldest lady of the Situ family, no one dares to say anything. Didn't you notice that there was an extra person in the house, and it was brought back by private jet? ”
Originally, he also wanted Situ Feng to say hello to this matter, but Situ Yin's work was out of line.
Situ Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, "One more person?" ”
"There is one less nurse in our hospital, and I heard that the nurse took the plane dedicated to the Situ family overnight to the Rose Manor."
Situ Feng's eyes remained unchanged, as if he was listening to a small report that could not be smaller, "It's just one more person, and this kind of thing is not worth alarming me." ”
Rong Xiu clenched his fists in his pocket, "That nurse obeyed the order to change a little girl's life-saving medicine, and now she may stop breathing at any time." ”
"What does this have to do with Yinyin, she just likes to play pranks. You don't want to say that the sound of sound makes people hurt a child? That's too serious! ”
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two became tense, and Situ Feng was too accustomed to looking down.
After so many years of military career, his unangry self-esteem has long been deeply rooted in his bone marrow.
Situ Feng didn't show a trace of surprise, Rong Xiu knew in his heart that he already knew everything that happened in City A.
This strong man is used to controlling everything, including his children, how can he let them make their own decisions in City A.
But knowing it, he didn't stop Situ Yin and let Situ Yin send people home openly, what did he think?
"Whether it's a prank or not, she knows it herself, and we know it. I just don't want you-"
"Alright." Situ Feng stretched out his hand and pressed it on Rong Xiu's shoulder. "Son, it's been a long time since you've been to our house. Yinyin has always disliked going to crowded cities, and she hasn't come back for a while when she's gone there, and you and I both know why. ”
The guard walked up to Situ Feng and whispered a few words in his ear.
Situ Feng let go of his hand and let go of Rong Xiu, "Uncle has a few bottles of cellar old wine, which were buried when Yinyin was born, and I just dug them out in the spring, find time to have a drink with my uncle!" Uncle has something to leave! ”
Without giving Rong Xiu a chance to answer, Situ Feng had already turned around and got into the car.
Three cars with black red paint, discreetly opened from outside the cemetery.
The car window slowly rolled down, Situ Feng looked at the few elders in the cemetery, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he slowly closed the car window, and slowly isolated the low air pressure outside.
My grandfather spent two hours in the cemetery, and when they came out, they all looked tired.
Memories are heavy.
To live with the hope of the dead is even more unbearable for life.
Rong Xiu admired these old people from the bottom of his heart, they seemed ordinary, but they were more holy and noble than most people in the world!
It was almost noon, and the group of people dispersed, Rong Xiu drove the car, and saw his grandfather with his eyes closed all the way from the rearview mirror.
He deliberately slowed down the car to give his grandfather a little more rest.
Back home, the two women had already prepared lunch.
Hearing their voices, Shen Congzhi opened his eyes, with nostalgia and remorse in his eyes.
If he had worked harder back then, more comrades-in-arms would have been able to enjoy this family fun today.
"Grandpa."
Shen Congzhi covered his eyes, "I'm fine." ”
Hearing the sound of the car's engine, Xia Nianxi ran to the yard and waved to Rong Xiu, who was driving in the garage, "I'm back." ”
"Hmm."
Rong Xiu parked the car in the garage and walked out with Shen Congzhi.
Xia Nianxi ran over, "Grandpa, it's just right, it's time for lunch." ”
"Yes, girl." Shen Congzhi smiled at her, but his spirit was not as good as usual.
Xia Nianxi tugged Rong Xiu's arm suspiciously, and asked him what was wrong with his eyes.
Rong Xiu shook the picture and motioned for her not to ask yet.
Xia Nianxi nodded sensibly.
Grandma already knew the inside story, and she didn't ask her grandfather, but just beckoned her wife to come over for dinner as usual.
Xia Nianxi pushed a bowl of lotus seed soup in front of Rong Xiu, revealing an expectant look.
"You did it?"
"Hey, I didn't taste it, so it's not fun." Xia Nianxi retracted her gaze and took a big bite to eat, she didn't say anything, why did he guess so accurately.
In the morning, I heard from my grandmother that Rong Xiu liked this very much, so she begged her grandmother to teach her.
For a whole hour, she didn't dare to leave the soup, and she wanted to wait for Rong Xiu to finish eating to surprise him.
Who knew it would be so easy to be discovered!
Poking the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, she couldn't figure it out, how did he find out?
Xia Nianxi's depression and doubts were all looked at by Rong Xiu, and he wanted to tell her that he was looking forward to it, isn't it easy to guess?
And the most important point, grandma will hook out the lotus seeds when she cooks lotus seed soup and spell out various patterns in the bowl, of course, this is a habit since childhood, when he was still young, grandma coaxed him to eat like this.
After so many years, my grandmother has long been used to it.
This bowl of lotus seed soup is made of ordinary boiling.
After eating, Shen Congzhi went to the study, and his grandmother looked at his back, shook her head and sighed, "Every time it's like this, after reading the old comrade-in-arms, this old man will always be depressed for a while." Don't be scared by him. ”
Rong Xiu pulled Xia Nianxi to stand up, "Well, grandma, I'll take Nianxi to the warehouse to have a look." ”
Xiao Jinse didn't expect them to go to the warehouse, and was a little worried, "You want the warehouse, it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and the dust is too big." ”
"There's something I want to sort out."
There are some things that he must sort out, and some relationships that must be severed.
"Okay, wearing a mask, I remember that there are a lot of good things inside, and I will pick them up with my thoughts, which can be regarded as a gift from my grandmother and grandfather."
Xiao Jinse looked at Xia Nianxi and smiled kindly, "Nianxi can pick it casually, anyway, it's a decoration in the warehouse." ”
"Hmm. Thank you, grandma. ”
The warehouse is in the basement, and the things of Shen Congzhi and his wife are placed, as well as the things that Rong Xiu's mother has used since she was a child, plus some collections and antiques.
Xia Nianxi wore the mask given by the servant and took Rong Xiu's hand, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the warehouse?" And what happened to my grandfather? ”
"I happened to be fine today, I want to organize some things. My grandfather may have felt a lot when he went to the cemetery with his comrades-in-arms today to see the comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield back then. ”
Xia Nianxi put his arm around Rong Xiu and looked into the distance in confusion, "War...... It's so far away from us. ”
Reaching out and rubbing her hair, "Don't think about it, grandpa himself knows that every time he goes, he will be fine after a while." ”
The two walked into the warehouse, Rong Xiu turned on the light, a room of about fifty square meters, neatly placed with various things.
There is no dusty old attic in Xia Nianxi's imagination. There are a lot of shelves with antiques, books, and some knick-knacks.
The walls are full of paintings, and there are many cabinets next to the wall, and the cabinets seem to be full.
Taking off her mask, she looked at the picture frame on the wall, "This is the mother-in-law?" ”
"Well, back then, many people wanted to paint a portrait of their mother, she was beautiful, wasn't she?" Rong Xiu looked at his mother with nostalgia, his memories of his mother over the years, in addition to the narration of his grandparents, are these paintings.
Xia Nianxi was just about to nod, but suddenly took a cold breath and pointed to the payment, "This, this, is this true?"
"Of course."
"This person has painted for his mother-in-law??" In the past, when she was still at Xia's house, she once saw Xia Maoqing carefully take a painting home, saying that he spent tens of millions of dollars to photograph it.
Xia Nianxi secretly saw it, but it was just a static sketch, and I felt that it was not much better than a college student's sketch.
As a result, one night, Xia Ruoxue brought her classmates to the party, and in the end, Xia Ruoxue got drunk and spilled the wine on the painting.
Worried that Xia Maoqing would blame her for this, she framed Xia Nianxi.
Because of this incident, Xia Nianxi was severely beaten and locked up in a small black house for three days, and after she ran out, she went to be an actress.
Determined to leave the Xia family's control as soon as possible.
A static sketch costs tens of millions, this is a figure oil painting, and the value is ...... Oh, my God!
Xia Nianxi looked drooling.
Rong Xiu reluctantly reached out and hooked the tip of her nose, "Look at you like a little money fan!" ”
Sticking out her tongue, Xia Nianxi rubbed her nose, "I'm really shocked!" ”
Rong Xiu pulled her towards an old mahogany cabinet, "Let's take a look at these, these are all left by my grandmother to my mother back then, and my mother wants to leave them to my daughter-in-law." ”
Through the glass, you can see that the cabinet is full of jewelry, which is very old, but extraordinarily delicate.
I'm afraid these things are all priceless now.
The cabinets are ancient, but they have modern security measures and passwords.
Rong Xiu pressed it on the cabinet secretly, a row of LCD numbers appeared on the glass, he pressed the password, and the cabinet opened automatically.
It's so advanced, Xia Nianxi opened his mouth wide, looking at these high-tech things that can only be found in movies.
Rong Xiu explained with a smile, "There are only grandparents in the villa, so I asked the security company to install a full set of security systems, which are their most precious memories." There can't be a little slip up. ”
Xia Nianxi nodded in agreement, "Well, these things do need to be preserved." ”
"These are all handed down from the Republic of China, all of them are handmade, and they are the ancestors of the Lin family. Whatever you like, take whatever you like. ”
Xia Nianxi stood in front of the cabinet and took out an emerald green bracelet from the cabinet, she didn't understand the bracelet, but this bracelet was so beautiful, transparent and flawless.
Putting down the beads, she saw a string of pearl necklaces, each pearl was round and jade, not the small pearls she usually saw in the store, but each the size of a pigeon's egg.
"My God......" Xia Nianxi put down the pearl and took a deep breath.
In the cabinet, gold phoenix crowns, bracelets, rings; jade bracelets, earrings, necklaces; necklaces of pearls; There are also some hairpins and so on.
She quickly closed the cabinet, "Lock it up, these are treasures." ”
Hurry up and pat your beating heart, it turns out that my grandparents are invisible rich, which is too low-key.
Rong Xiu was amused by her actions, and reached out to hold her hand, "These things, as long as you like them, they are all yours." How many to bring first? ”
Xia Nianxi stood in front of him, and the two were close to each other. She saw Rong Xiu through the reflection of the mirror, so she held his hand instead, with a satisfied smile on her face, "I've got what I want most." ”
Rong Xiu was stunned for a moment, and his voice was as soft as a feather, "Fool." ”
Xia Nianxi turned his head, looked at his face, held his hand, and said firmly: "I only need this." ”
Rong Xiu's heart moved, and he held her hand back tighter.
"Go back this time and bring this coral to grandpa." Rong Xiu opened the cabinet underneath, and there were many rare treasures in it.
Xia Nianxi squatted down, saw the bottom layer, and said in shock: "There are so many things hidden here, oh my God, how rich are grandparents and grandparents?" ”
She always thought that her grandparents were scholars, and the two old people just lived a worry-free life, coupled with Rong Xiu's filial piety.
I didn't expect ...... With this warehouse, I'm afraid I can kill the Xia family in seconds.
Rong Xiu carefully lifted the coral and put it on the table.
Xia Nianxi stretched out his hand and touched it, and asked, "Grandpa likes coral?" ”
Rong Xiu shook his head, "He likes to collect, but there is no limit to what it is." Just find him something to do. This is a complete coral, which is rare nowadays. ”
Xia Nianxi nodded as if she didn't understand.
Now she's pretty sure there's nothing cheap going on in this warehouse.
"And what do you think is the most expensive thing about this warehouse?"
"The most expensive...... You! Xia Nianxi pointed at him without hesitation.
Rong Xiu's heart was softened by her cute expression, shook his head, and turned to look at something else.
Next, Xia Nianxi was exploring everywhere in the warehouse, and from time to time she heard her exclamations, Rong Xiu smiled and shook his head, but he didn't stop her.
Everything in this warehouse has a story, and Xia Nianxi listened to Rong Xiu briefly explain a story from the past......
The afternoon passed quietly.
Rong Xiu walked to the latest custom-made cabinet at the back, looked at the cabinet, and the contents of the cabinet, his eyes slowly dimmed.
After a pause, Rong Xiu took out a large box from the side and began to load the contents of the cabinet into the box.
Xia Nianxi was still studying a camera in the Republic of China, and when he saw him loading things, he put down the things in his hand and ran over, "What are you going to do?" ”
"These are not our things, and now we have to return them."
Xia Nianxi nodded obediently and rolled up her sleeves, "You want to return it?" ”
Is there anything else that isn't theirs?
So who is this for?
Xia Nianxi was about to ask, but her grandmother's voice called her upstairs, "Nianxi!" ”
Xia Nianxi walked to the door, "Grandma called me!" ”
"Call you, and you go. Here, the husband can come. ”
"Okay, I'll come down and help you later." After speaking, Xia Nianxi pushed the door open and went up.
Rong Xiu glanced at the door, turned around, and continued to take things and put them in the cabinet.
Xia Nianxi ran upstairs, and her grandmother was standing at the kitchen door with a maid.
"You don't want to learn how to make braised mandarin fish, grandma taught you."
"Good!" In the morning, he discussed with his grandmother a lot of Rong Xiu's favorite dishes, except for the lotus seed soup, which was his favorite when he was a child, it was this braised mandarin fish, which was the warmest memory in his heart.
Because this is also my mother-in-law's favorite food.
She wanted to learn and surprise Rong Xiu.
Rong Xiu, who had been sorting things out in the warehouse, looked at the empty cabinet, closed the box, and carried the box to the door, before calling the servant to help carry it to the living room.
Xia Nianxi, who was pickling fish, saw them carrying the box out, quickly hid it, and then made a shushing gesture with her grandmother.
Xiao Jinse is also a romantic person, so she naturally knows that this is Nianxi to surprise her grandson.
Put down what you have, go out, and ask, "What is this?" ”
"Well, something, I'm going to return it."
Xiao Jinse looked at Rong Xiu, and then saw him nodding firmly, and his heart suddenly became clear.
"Think clearly, then do it. We've got your back! ”
"Thank you, Grandma!"
This box was quickly sent away, and Xia Nianxi never knew where the contents of that box came from and where they were going to return it now.
In the evening, when Situ Feng returned home, the maid hurriedly ran over to take his coat.
"Chief, Young Master Rong Xiu of the Lin family just sent a box of things."
Situ Feng stopped and looked at the servant, "Rong Xiu?" ”
Frightened by Situ Feng's unangry and self-righteous momentum, the servant lowered his head and replied tremblingly: "Yes!" ”
"Check it out!"
Situ Feng walked like the wind and strode into the living room, where a quaint box was placed in the middle of the living room.
The manager stood aside with a smile on his face, "Master, you are back, this box is a rare Nanmu, it is an ancient piece." ”
Looking at the patterns and wood on the box, Situ Feng showed a faint smile on his face, "This kid is quite good." Open it up for me and see how this kid looks! ”
The chief steward motioned to the servant to open the box, and kept saying, "Rong Xiu still remembers your kindness and knows how to honor you." ”
Situ Feng kept smiling lightly, the box was opened, and everyone showed amazed eyes, each of these things is very precious, Rong Xiu really acted generously.
The manager's face turned pale suddenly, why are these things so familiar?
Looking at Situ Feng again, his face was already pale, his hands were behind his back, and his eyes were fixed on the contents of the box.
.........
