Grandpa's influence on Li Zhan was very great.

When I was a child, my parents were busy with work, and Li Zhan threw it to my grandfather, and my sister and younger brother followed my parents. Li Jianguo admires him very much, thinking that his Laozi's education is better, and the size is not the secretary of the brigade. Li Zhan is the eldest son and grandson, and in terms of education, Li Jianguo has tried his best to find all kinds of methods.

Longing for the army is precisely because of the influence of grandpa. The old revolution is not a joke, when Li Zhan was in junior high school, his grandfather still had a few guns from the Anti-Japanese War to press the bottom of the box, and several Japanese swords.

Li Zhan, who was trained in this environment, had a firm goal of becoming a soldier early, but what he didn't expect at all was that he would be a pilot who flew an airplane.

Grandpa was the person who had the greatest influence on him in his life.

In the older generation, the grandfather has the highest seniority, and has been the secretary of the brigade for decades, the only nine-year school built in the county on the edge of the village is the grandfather who took people to build brick by brick, and later added the kindergarten, and now it has become a very famous school in the city, and parents in other towns and villages are interested in sending their children to school.

Ten years of trees and a hundred years of education, grandpa made a great contribution to the local area, almost every family in the family has been relieved by grandpa, especially in the fifties and sixties when materials are extremely scarce, some families are not expected to survive if not grandpa's relief.

Therefore, every year's ancestor worship puts grandfather's feng shui at the end, and everyone values it the most, and now Li Zhan is out of business, and Li Jianguo is engaged in real estate, which is more and more valued.

Grandpa's feng shui is in the east of the village, not a few hundred meters away from the village, that place is the dragon's head, and there is a small forest between several farmlands, which is very conspicuous. This piece of land, which is dozens of square meters in size, has always been empty, but no one has ever buried the deceased here. Feng Shui treasures vary from person to person, and if you can't control that pattern, good things will turn into bad things.

The old revolutionary, who is highly respected, is completely able to control the dragon head, and everyone takes this for granted, and this is what the people want.

Li Jianguo was very excited, tears fell when he kowtowed, and more than 30 people behind him lined up neatly and stood on the ridges, kneeling down and kowtowing together. Li Zhan's nerves have been tempered into steel, but he can't control them after the relevant memories emerge.

Li Xiang's memory of his grandfather is not so deep, he has always been by his parents' side, but he knows that his brother and grandfather have a deep relationship, and tears of empathy have come down.

Then I was happy, the army cadre at home was still a battalion commander, and he had to report loudly to his grandfather.

Busy until the sun goes down, there is a big dinner party in the evening, everyone eats together, in previous years, many people left directly to be busy with this work and that business, this year basically stayed in the village to eat, the women had already prepared a banquet, a full eight tables were lined up in the big courtyard in front of Li Zhan's house, the lights were all pulled up, Li Zhan's uncle was in charge, what cigarettes and drinks were all prepared in accordance with high standards.

Before the banquet, Li Jianguo called Li Zhan and Li Xiang to the roadside in the east of the village, pointed to the wasteland on the side of the T-junction and said, "This homestead belongs to your two brothers, one and a half." I discussed it with your mother, and now that I have money in my hand and the old house is decades old, I will simply build a new house and see what you two brothers mean. ”

What to discuss with his mother, Li Zhan and Li Xiang don't believe it, the family has always been Lao Li's Yiyantang, but Lao Li has an advantage - he never cares about money, and the money is in the hands of his mother Ye Huihua.

Li Xiang said, "Dad, you have an idea about my family affairs all the year round, and you can talk about how much money you want." ”

He really did the work of infrastructure engineering research, but he didn't listen to Li Jianguo's words to take the state-owned enterprise, but took a lot of money to set up a small company by himself, which is a so-called engineering design company with three or two kittens, and the small work of outsourcing was outsourced last year.

In fact, it is not difficult to say that the career is not difficult, provided that you get a high-level weapon in the novice village. How did Blue Sky Garden get up, with a starting capital of 800,000. Li Jianguo spent 800,000 yuan to buy the land, but the value of the newly planned land rose rolling, and the mortgage was used to build a building, and it was sold for hundreds of millions of yuan. But if you don't have the 800,000, then you will most likely spend your whole life working hard to save the 800,000.

The same is true of Li Xiang's small company, where does the starting capital come from, the family will come. Without the support of his family, he has to work to earn money, and he can save hundreds of thousands of starting funds in the Year of the Monkey. Another is network resources, why contract to you, there are not many companies that can do it, and there are many more powerful than you.

Without the support of his family, just a young man like him who is still studying for graduate school less than two years after graduation?

"What money do you have, I don't have enough money, and yours is even less enough." Li Jianguo said with a sneer.

Li Xiang smiled, of course he knew that there were tens of millions of dollars lying in his mother's account, and the interest alone was a lot of money.

Li Zhan said, "If you want to build it, you can build it, sooner or later, you have to build it, and you will have a place to stay when you go home in the future. ”

There are too many old houses in their family, there are five of them, and they follow the development ladder of the village, basically one for each generation, and one is a homestead, but except for the upper house (from south to north, the more north the house is newer, and the old house in the north is called the upper house), the others are basically inhabitable. The upper house was built by Li Jianguo and Ye Huihua when they got married, and it is a large "door" type composite building, with a poured flat roof and a vaulted tile roof, but it also has a history of more than 30 years.

"Then it's decided, you two brothers will build a three-story villa for each of you, the same size and the same height, and no one will suffer." Li Jianguo's bowl of water is flat.

Li Zhan and Li Xiang just laughed and didn't care at all. Li Xiang is going to return to Nangang in the future, this is a matter that has been decided a long time ago, raising a son to prevent the old son from being around to prevent the old man, and the elder brother will definitely not be able to serve in the army, so this task falls on his shoulders. Therefore, the house in the village must be more than where Li Xiang and the second elder live, but they can stay in the village for a few nights a year. This is much more than Li Zhan, and Li Zhan can go home to visit his relatives once a year, which can be regarded as "the emperor's grace".

The older a person gets, the heavier the idea of returning to his roots, Li Jianguo's attention to the construction of a new house in the village completely exceeds that of the time when the Blue Sky Garden was built.

There was a class reunion in the evening, so after eating, I went back to the city with Li Xiang, my father and mother wanted to stay in the village for one night, and Li Xiang would go back tomorrow to pick it up. Directly let Li Xiang send Li Zhan to Guanhai Tower and was about to get off, Li Xiang said, "Brother, are you going to the party like this?" ”

Li Zhan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"You didn't take a bath and change your clothes, you didn't work for a day today, this is still Guanhailou, your image is ......," Li Xiang reminded.

Li Zhan reacted, he was covered in sweat after a day of civil engineering work today, and because he knew that the Qingming Ancestor had to do civil engineering, he deliberately wore sportswear, and his casual clothes were also suitable, and this kind of image was indeed not enough to participate in class reunions.

I looked at the time and found that it was almost nine o'clock, maybe everyone had eaten almost enough, and it was too late to go back, so he said, "Forget it, I am not a decent person in the first place, and I am also a rough worker in the army, everyone should be able to understand." Alright, you can go back quickly. ”

"I'm also at a class reunion, and I'm not going home tonight, I'm just living outside." Li Xiang said with a smile.

Li Zhan glared at Li Xiang, but didn't say anything.

Guanhailou is an old hotel, as its name suggests, it was built directly by the sea. Now if you want to build a hotel by the sea, you can't even think about it, you can't pass an environmental impact assessment, no matter how old you are, you will be directly vetoed. Therefore, Guanhailou is becoming more and more scarce, and it is an old store with a history of forty or fifty years, and the consumption is high, not to mention that it is not in place if you don't make an appointment in advance.

Lin Dingwei wanted to invite the students to get together and at the same time reflect his current ability by the way, so he must be arranged in Guanhai Tower, and naturally he couldn't book a room on the day he returned, let alone a good room, so there was a reason for postponing it to today.

Asked the location, the waiter took the over, pushed open the door, and invited Li Zhan to go in, as soon as he entered, more than a dozen people who were happily chatting stopped and looked over. Li Zhan swept his eyes, at least twenty people can sit at a large table, the automatic rotating turntable is full of all kinds of seafood, the lobster with such a thick calf is particularly conspicuous, and there are several complete ones, and the other dishes are basically a little broken, obviously eating for a long time, and at the same time, he is also looking at people, fortunately, all of them can be recognized.

Cao Pao is also there, and among these classmates, he is the most aware of Li Zhan's recent situation. Not to mention the rest, he also bought a two-bedroom apartment in Blue Sky Garden, knowing that it was a community developed by Li Zhan's family, his eyes were about to pop out.

Sitting on the main seat was naturally Lin Dingwei, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up and pointed at Li Zhan and said, "Hey, you Li Zhan, why didn't you answer the phone after I called you a hundred times?" ”

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and smiled apologetically, "It's out of power." ”

"Sit, sit, sit." Lin Dingwei said.

There are a few vacant seats at the door, which are generally the position of the waiter serving the food and the three escorts, the guest of honor, the host accompaniment or something, the dinner table is very particular, but Li Zhan has no such concept, he only knows the command position and the staff position. Because recently, he directly pulled out the empty escort seat and sat down.

What he thought was that there was no one here on the left and right, and the smell of sweat on his body was relatively heavy, which was the most appropriate.

The others didn't react, and most people judged Li Zhan's dress, alas, he was a bitter classmate, so what did it matter where he sits.

Cao Pao couldn't do it, so he suddenly jumped up and trotted over and dragged Li Zhan up, "Brother Zhan, why are you sitting here, take a seat, take a seat!" ”

"Don't pay attention to this, don't pay attention to this." Li Zhan said with a smile, but Cao Pao pulled hard.

Lin Dingwei also spoke, and said, "Ah Zhan, come and sit on my side, I told you that you have to be punished for drinking, and you were two hours late when the banquet started at seven o'clock!" You deserve it. ”

Basically, they all drank some, and everyone let go of talking.

There is still a vacant seat next to Lin Dingwei, but there are used dishes and chopsticks in front of him. Cao Pao cleaned up by himself and asked the waiter to bring new dishes and chopsticks for Li Zhan to set up, and said, "Brother Zhan, can you drink a bar?" Drink as much as you want. ”

"Be disciplined, you can't drink or smoke." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Many people's smiles are gone, half of men and half of women are basically drinking, and there are two female classmates who still have white wine glasses in front of them, which can be seen to be female generals.

Li Zhan's words changed, "However, if we get together again in eleven years, I will have a drink with the big guy if I violate discipline." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass and swept it around, "I salute everyone and wish you all good health!" ”

Straight to dry.

"Hey, hey, Li Zhan, you can't do it like this, you're punished for being late, you're two hours late, you have to drink three glasses first. Besides, you toast the audience with a glass of wine, there is no such good thing, everyone says yes. A red-faced male classmate knocked on the table and said.

It is Xiao Zhenghong, who has been an organizing committee member for three years in high school, and has strong organizational skills. The organizing committee members in the class are not in the nature of the organization department, and they are almost really engaged in organizational activities. This person is good, but he was a little snobbish in high school, and it is also the norm in society.

Li Zhan didn't say a word, he poured two taels of wine into the teacup, and once again picked it up and said with a smile, "Fellow students, I'm late, I'll punish myself for two taels!" ”

Leaning his neck and doing it.

Xiao Zhenghong couldn't be happier, Li Zhan was too face-saving. At school, Li Zhan is the captain of the school football team, and his majesty is much stronger than that of his class organizing committee. Football is good, basketball is not bad, no matter how you shoot, you can hit it, and as long as it is a ball game, you can do it all at once, plus he is handsome, Li Zhan in high school is the object of admiration of girls, and boys can't wait to tear his bones and fry his skin.

Eleven years, looking at the captain of the school football team who once dominated high school, wearing a set of Li Ning and sportswear that has not been cleaned of dirt, not even a watch, and the mobile phone is a straight Nokia that has begun to be eliminated, and you can see that it is not very mixed at a glance. Cao Pao is a small boss, and he is polite to Li Zhan because Cao Pao was a member of the school football team in the past, and he called Li Zhan the captain for three years, and everyone thinks so.

began to greet each other, and everyone else had been chatting for two hours, and Li Zhan had just arrived, so there was no doubt that the topic was temporarily focused on him, this asked what work he was doing now, that he asked if he was married, and there were also those who cared about whether the elders in the family were healthy, which was not enough.

The principle of Li Zhan's flattery is to resolutely not say what can be said, and resolutely not to say what can be said.

So under Li Zhan's self-introduction, his situation was: After graduating from high school, he joined the army, and is currently serving in a unit in Dalian, volunteering, and preparing to get married.

The term "volunteers" is different from the Volunteer Army to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the locals refer to non-commissioned officers who have been transferred to Xinjiang. Li Zhan didn't take the initiative to say that he was a non-commissioned officer, he let Xiao Zhenghong passively admit it, he couldn't deliberately explain it and say oh, I'm sorry, I'm an officer, which seems very stupid.

So Li Zhan is such an ordinary soldier who joined the army after graduating from high school and stayed in the team, which completely rejoins everyone's imagination. If you deliberately explain that I'm not, I fly a fighter plane, and there are dozens of dollars in a minute, and there is a sea supplement, people should say that you are not just a pilot, what a proud thing!

That would not be in line with the plot of the life story of the troubled young man that everyone automatically imagined when they saw Li Zhan at first sight, and everyone would be unhappy because of it. I've had a hard time, how can I get rid of the inexplicable anger in my heart if there are classmates like Lin Dingwei and Cao Pao who have made money?

Regarding Li Zhan's situation, Cao Pao didn't reveal a word, he knew that the unit in which Li Zhan served was relatively special, so when he saw Li Zhan's own introduction to the situation, he avoided the important and knew that it might involve the secrets of the troops, so he was tight-lipped.

As for Lin Dingwei, he also found that Li Zhan was rushed by everyone to admit the identity of "ordinary non-commissioned officers for three or four thousand yuan a month", so he didn't find fault it, at least he knew that the salary of an officer at the level of the battalion commander would definitely not be three or four thousand yuan, and then he thought of seeing the Pajero V93 driven by Li Zhan's girlfriend when he was at the airport, he naturally thought that Li Zhan should have found a girl from a rich family.

Obviously, he also doesn't believe that Li Zhan has the ability to buy nearly 400,000 Pajero V93 Gold Standard top. If Li Zhan is really an ordinary battalion-level cadre, he really has no money to spend such a car, but it's a pity that he flies an airplane.

The number of class reunions really revolves around work, making money, houses and cars, all of which are no longer teenagers, after the baptism of social friction, faded away from youth and no illusions, and what is in front of them is a more practical problem and level, one after another from the society beats and crits make people no longer dare to speak lightly about their ideals, the pressure of life is so tired, and the opportunity to find a sense of superiority in front of classmates who are not as good as themselves is not a joy between difficulties.

Natural friendship is there, without making two dollars on how to call Nangang his biggest style, there is a show, but the show is not just human nature, the words show their importance in the unit in the company, between the words reveal that their life level is higher than yours, isn't it also human nature, drinking without bragging is unimaginable.

has lived a one-dimensional life in the army for a long time, Li Zhan thinks that this kind of class reunion dinner is quite interesting, in a fashionable phrase, everyone is a talent, and he speaks well and likes this feeling. A few taels of liquor under the belly Li Zhan also wanted to brag, if nothing else, just to be able to be more integrated into this atmosphere, it is really that sentence, no matter how big the boss and how big the official you are, you can pretend in front of your classmates, but you can't pretend too much, but it is not okay to pull yourself high and be out of place with everyone. Li Zhan was purely isolated from the world for too long, and finally saw his old classmates and wanted to chat with them very happily.

However, after searching for a long time, I could not find any material that could be used to brag, and I could not say anything about the air gunboat unit, and in short, I could not talk about any secrets.

So I can only talk about interesting things in high school from time to time, and naturally I talked about the campus love at that time, and a woman appeared before the dinner was over.
