The next day, when the sky was light, the personnel of the Political Department came to the small courtyard of Lei Ze's house, raised their hands and knocked on the courtyard door, "Is Camp Commander Lei at home?" ”

Chu Tianyi opened the courtyard door, "Lei Ce is not at home, you come in and sit and wait for a while!" He'll be back in a moment. ”

"May I ask this sister-in-law, where did Camp Commander Lei go so early in the morning?" The major who spoke saw Chu Tianyi looking at them inexplicably, and his heart jumped, "This sister-in-law, this is the case, last time you and Battalion Commander Lei both said that they would give you five days; Today is the fifth day, and this matter has a bearing on the reputation of the comrades in the troops, and it has been delayed for five days now, and the case must be closed today. ”

Chu Tianyi nodded silently, "Come in and sit for a while!" Our personal certificate arrived yesterday, but the old man is old and not in good health; Come in and sit down and rest for a while, and I'll call the three old men. ”

Ban Huaizhou's face was not good, and he walked into the courtyard and went directly to the living room as if no one was around.

The two majors looked embarrassed and apologetic, "Sister-in-law Lei......"

"I understand, you don't have to take it personally, you come in and rest for a while." Chu Tianyi removed the cold color in his eyes, gently welcomed the two into the courtyard, and took them to the living room, "Please sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

"No need, sister-in-law Lei, we don't need to drink water, you go and get someone up!" The Major shook his head.

Chu Tianyi didn't force it, "Then you sit down for a while." Turning around and going to the guest room, he knocked on the door three times, "Grandpa, are you up?" ”

"Up! Come out right away. As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Suo Suo came from inside.

"Grandpa, you and your uncle get up slowly, don't worry." Chu Tianyi turned to the guest room next to him, and was about to knock on the door, when he saw the door open, "Village Chief, it just so happens that you are up, and the investigators of the army have already arrived; You and the fourth grandfather wash up and eat first, and after eating, we will go to the regiment headquarters. ”

"Okay." Village Chief Luo glanced at the three people sitting on the sofa with tall waists, nodded politely at them, and turned back to the fourth grandfather who came out behind.

The fourth grandfather raised his head towards Chu Tianyi and bowed slightly, and Chu Tianyi smiled lightly and said: "Two grandfathers, there are newly bought toothbrushes and towels in the bathroom, you wash up first, and I will go to the kitchen to serve breakfast." ”

"Go ahead! You girl doesn't sleep well at first glance, and there are so heavy bruises under her eyes; How did that kid take care of you? No matter how uncomfortable I feel, I can't help but sleep well! You are young now, so you don't take good care of your health, and you will suffer when you are old. The fourth grandfather seems to be complaining, but in fact he is a person who complains that he has nothing to do.

Chu Tianyi smiled warmly and glanced at the two majors with embarrassed faces, "Fourth grandfather, don't worry about me, go wash up!" ”

"You!" The fourth grandfather nodded her head helplessly, and went to the bathroom with Village Chief Luo.

Chu Tianyi turned around and went to the kitchen, brought out the boiled lean porridge, and put the dishes, chopsticks, side dishes, and pastries; At this time, the three old men and Song Sancheng also washed up and walked out of the bathroom.

"Three grandfathers, uncles, can eat."

"Right away." Village Chief Luo said hello and sat down at the table with the two old men; Only then did he say to the three investigators sitting on the sofa: "Have the three comrades eaten?" ”

Ban Huaizhou frowned, they were already embarrassed to sit here, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to be reminded by him like this?

The major sitting on the side tugged at the corners of his mouth, and it was really funny whether he wanted to smile or not, "We ate it, and the old man doesn't care about us." ”

"Let's have some more together? Lei Ze's daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is recognized as good in our village, come and taste it with you. Village Chief Luo got up and walked towards the two majors, pulling them to the table.

This move left Ban Huaizhou alone.

Ban Huaizhou pursed his lips and turned his head, not looking at their enthusiasm.

"Yes! The two comrades eat some more together, I do more; If you can't finish it in the morning, it won't be so fresh at noon. "Chu Tianyi is on the side.

The two majors really couldn't stand the enthusiasm of Village Chief Luo, and Chu Tianyi was on the side to help and said, if they resigned, they would look down on people; The two of them couldn't get down, so they had to sit down.

Chu Tianyi served them porridge, "Grandpa, you eat more." ”

"Okay." The grandfather grabbed a piece of dough cake with his hand, folded the side dishes on the roll and ate it together, and took a bite full of fragrant mouthfuls, "Delicious, fragrant!" ”

Village Chief Luo and Song Sancheng nodded in agreement on the side.

Seeing this, the two majors looked at each other, and they didn't feel hungry, but they were really hungry when they were so agitated.

At the end of the meal, several people ate happily and finished a large plate of noodles.

Chu Tianyi put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen, "Class leader, two comrades, let you wait for a long time." ”

"Let's go!" Ban Huaizhou couldn't wait to get up and walked out of the living room quickly.

The two majors touched their stomachs a little wryly, they were too full to eat, "Thank you Sister-in-law Lei for your hospitality." ”

"It should." Chu Tianyi didn't care much.

A major turned his mind and said apologetically: "Sister-in-law Lei, it's going to be fine." After speaking, he and another person quickly followed the pace of Ban Huaizhou.

Chu Tianyi smiled at the village chief Luo and the others, "Let's go!" "It was enough to have the two majors reveal a little bit of what it meant in one meal.

When the group came to the regiment headquarters, Gu Qingyan was already waiting in the empty office, and saw Chu Tianyi walk into the office and got up to greet him, "Brother and Sister Lei, who are these people?" ”

"It doesn't matter who they are, what I want to know is whether Reitzer really doesn't support his parents." Ban Huaizhou still interrupted each other.

Gu Qingyan frowned unhappily, "Squad leader, these are the witnesses invited by Lei Ce and Chu Tianyi, if you don't figure out their identities, how can you know if what they said is true?" Or maybe you didn't plan to listen to a few old people at all, and you just walked a long way here? ”

"You!" Ban Huaizhou's hands trembled, but he was helpless against him, the two were people of different factions, and their official positions were equal, and no one could help anyone, "Remember what you said today." ”

Gu Qingyan snorted coldly, then turned to Chu Tianyi with a smile and nodded, "Brother and sister, who are these people?" ”

Chu Tianyi smiled gratefully at him, "Head Gu, this is Luo Dade, the village chief of our village, and Lei Ce and I both call the village chief; Next to them are the oldest people in the village, Chen Dazhu and Du Liang, Lei Ce and I call the eldest grandfather and the fourth grandfather; and this is Lei Ce's uncle Song Sancheng. ”

"It turned out to be the three old men and Mr. Song, welcome to the army, please sit down." Gu Qingyan pointed to the bench next to him.

Chu Tianyi helped Chen Dazhu to sit down.

After the four of them sat down, Chu Tianyi sat down on the bench, raised his head and looked at Ban Huaizhou sitting at the desk, "Okay, now that we are all here, Comrade Ban wants to know what to ask." ”

"Humph!" Ban Huaizhou glanced at her coldly and looked at the old man sitting on the bench, "You are all respected old people in your village, I hope you can answer truthfully; Otherwise, it will not be good for you to ruin the reputation of most of your life because of your momentary gaffe. ”

Luo Dade sneered, "You are Comrade Ban, right?" ”

"Exactly." Ban Huaizhou replied solemnly.

"Listening to Comrade Ban's words, he thinks that Lei Ce doesn't support his parents, right?" Seeing that Ban Huaizhou nodded without hesitation, Luo Dade shook his head amusedly, "Since you believe that Lei Ce does not support his parents and must sit here to investigate the truth, then I hope that Comrade Ban can treat us witnesses with a correct attitude; Instead of sitting here and scolding Huai, we know what we should say, we don't need you to remind us. ”

Ban Huaizhou was speechless for a while.

A smile flashed in Chu Tianyi's eyes, Village Chief Luo deserved to be a person who had been a village chief for decades.

Gu Qingyan laughed, "What this uncle said is so right, Comrade Ban, you are a soldier of the people, can't you take out the uncle's money to treat the people of country H." ”

Ban Huaizhou couldn't get up or down in his breath and got stuck in his throat, which was more uncomfortable than eating a fly, "Chu Tianyi, please go out, we have to ask a few old people alone." ”

Du Liang looked at her worriedly, "Why do you want to leave?" Is there something unspeakable? ”

"No, don't worry, Fourth Grandpa, this is a routine question; A few grandfathers don't have to worry about me, just answer truthfully when Comrade Ban asks, and I'll go out first. Chu Tianyi comforted several old men, got up and walked out of the office.

Ban Huaizhou glanced at Chu Tianyi, who was standing outside the window, and the evil breath in his heart was alleviated, "Okay, now a few old people will talk about the specific situation!" Why doesn't Reitzer support the elderly? ”

"You can't say that, when did Lei Ze stop supporting the elderly? Lei Ze's father, Lei Hai, has a few thousand dollars in his hand! That's all given by Lei Ze, without Lei Ze he can have so much money? The issue of maintenance can be skipped. "Village Chief Luo got Chu Tianyi's words, and he was even more confident in speaking.

Ban Huaizhou narrowed his eyes, "Thousands of dollars were given by Lei Ce?" ”

"Yes, for the past ten years, I have sent money home every month, and I have saved more than 5,000 yuan; This is still a rough calculation, but if you do it seriously, it will be more than that. Village Chief Luo said with a smile: "As far as I know, Lei Ce and his family sent money to the Lei family again after they arrived in the army; Although it is only five yuan, it is enough for a month's living expenses. ”

"Five dollars is enough for a month's living expenses? Hehe...... Lei Ze is really filial. Ban Huaizhou's words were prickly, which made the two majors look sideways, and the pen in their hands also paused.

Gu Qingyan frowned, "Why can't five yuan be used for a month?" The meat is only a dime and a half a catty, not to mention that the people of the Lei family live in the countryside; The last thing that is lacking in the countryside is food, and the five yuan can be used for a month, and there is even a balance. ”

Ban Huaizhou looked at him dissatisfied, "Head Gu, please pay attention to your words and deeds, now I am inquiring about the situation, not you." ”

"It's because I'm not asking about the situation that I want to remind you, don't act as if Retzer has been convicted." Gu Qingyan's fiery temper came up and went straight back.

The two majors nodded nonchalantly, and one said, "Squad leader, your matter is indeed excessive, and the situation of Battalion Commander Lei is still in the investigation stage; You can't treat the witnesses invited by Camp Commander Lei and Lei's sister-in-law with a firm attitude, this kind of behavior is suspected of deliberate slander. ”

"You guys! Hello, I am suspected of slander when I say this, so you can ask! Ban Huaizhou got up and walked out.
