Because of his sweetheart's long trip, Chai Lingjiao's Spring Festival was boring. The long, cold winters are always at home. He couldn't read the few books he recommended, and sat in a daze on the kang full of winter sunshine all day long.

Finally survived until he returned. Yesterday she routinely called his office, and it was from the public phone at the entrance of the alley, and it was he who answered the phone. This made her very happy, and blamed him for not telling her that she had returned to Beijing. Moreover, for such a long time, there was not a single letter. He said that he had just come back and was busy with official business, so he didn't care about contact. This is not good, she asked him to have dinner at the front door tonight, and her parents heard about it and gave her a dead task to bring him to the house as much as possible!

The Chai couple are unusually supportive of their daughter's love. Even if it is a republic, the 24-year-old daughter is an out-and-out old girl. The Chai family of the small family is most afraid of the New Year, the Beijing people are deeply influenced by the Manchurians, the etiquette is more, and it is necessary to go to relatives during the New Year.

It's really good that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented. Mrs. Chai's biggest regret is that she agreed to her daughter's study, caught up with the Mengshan army into Beijing, and her daughter with an excellent private school background was admitted to the conservatory, and it was bad all of a sudden.

Thankfully, there was someone she had a crush on. At this point, the Chai family no longer thinks that person has no father or mother, nor does it think that person is older than his daughter and is more than ten years old, as long as he marries. What's more, the other party is still an officer of no low status.

Why does her daughter fall in love with a man who is more than a decade older than her. The Chai couple had questioned their daughter more than once. According to her daughter, their acquaintance was completely accidental. That time, Ling Jiao went to the Summer Palace with her colleagues and left the jade pendant in the park. She roughly judged where she had lost her jade pendant - she had torn off the chain while playing with her colleagues in the corridor at the foot of Wanshou Mountain. The jade pendant is an ancestral heirloom, worth a little money, and a man who plays antiques in Changdian once gave a high price of 200 taels of silver.

When she found it, there was a man sitting in the corridor. Seeing her looking around, he asked her if she had lost her belongings. To the delight of Jiaoda. But the man still asked very carefully what something, what style, what color. After confirming that it was correct, he took out the jade pendant from his pocket and returned it to Ling Jiao. Ling Jiao was about to express herself, but the man said that this was as it should be. He is a military man. Where dare to take money from the people?

He was dressed in civilian clothes that day.

There is no doubt that he is a gentleman who is not greedy for money. According to what Ling Jiao said, that person has vision, knowledge, and cultivation, and everything is good.

Of course, the Chai couple had to find out the details of that person. The daughter, who has always been smart and shrewd, was vague, only saying that the person was from Shandong, unmarried, both parents died, and there were no brothers and sisters, because the family was poor. So he defected to the Mengshan Army early, and now he is on an errand in the General Administration of National Security.

There is no problem with the identity of the officer. Today, officers are the most respected profession. What's more, Chai Lingwu, the only son of the Chai family, is also an officer, and he applied for the Baoding Military Academy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, studying artillery, and went to Russia the year before last and worried the Chai couple to death. Fortunately, my son returned home safe and sound, and when he went, he was a lieutenant, and when he came back, he became a captain. Visiting relatives and returning home a year ago. I brought gifts for both parents, and a watch for my father. It was given to the mother a fur fur. It's something that both of them like very much. Especially the piece of fire fox fur bought from Russia, which made the Chai family like it very much. Son Chai Lingwu was very concerned about his sister's marriage and wanted to meet the Shandong man, but unfortunately, that person went to Xinjiang. After all, Chai Lingwu is in the army and knows a lot about state affairs. told his parents that Xinjiang was unstable, and Commander Shi led his troops to quell the rebellion into Xinjiang, and heard that the State Security Bureau had arrested many people over there, which was the right thing.

Chai Lingwu asked his sister a lot about that person. told his parents privately that according to what Ling Jiao said, that person's status should not be low, at least at the level of colonel. Do you think, the veteran who joined the army when the president was a teenager is at least not a colonel until now? You guys have dim sum, you must inquire clearly, it doesn't matter if you are older, as long as Ling Jiao is willing. But if that person already has a family, that's bad. That is to deceive the girl, even if he has a high status, he can't agree.

But the daughter swore that the person surnamed Jiang had never married. It is difficult to go to the State Security Administration to verify. Chai's father is a businessman, and he also knows that the State Security Bureau is a secret department, and it is not a yamen that ordinary people can enter, so he can only let his daughter take him to his home for careful interrogation. If you really don't have a history of marriage, it doesn't matter if you do anything else, it's serious to get married quickly.

Chai Lingjiao went to the Gu family's old store on time, and saw her sweetheart sitting in the old place waiting for her. Her favorite dish was already ordered on the table.

She noticed that he had lost weight and was preoccupied.

"My parents want to see you." Chai Lingjiao is a cheerful personality and straight to the point.

He didn't say a word and looked at her.

Chai Lingjiao liked his eyes the most, but Gujing Wubo looked directly at his heart, as if he couldn't hide any of his thoughts.

"You're talking."

"Eat first." He poured her a small cup of piping hot flower carving.

"If you don't promise, I won't eat. It's a pity that my brother has already returned to the army, and he is worried that you are a liar. ”

"Why?"

"Who is there who is forty years old and does not take a wife? He is not blind and lame. ”

"You think I'm like a liar?"

"Like. The more I think about it, the more I look like it. Chai Lingjiao smiled. He was a humble gentleman who never acted in a way that was more polite, "of course, very high-class." ”

"What do you like about me?"

This sentence stopped her.

"Like what?" She had thought about it. He is educated, discerning, and learned, and there is nothing he does not know about all topics to talk about. He should have a good income, and the watch should be very high-end, well-dressed, simple and luxurious. He loves cleanliness, his shirt is always snow-white, and his leather shoes are always shiny. Moreover, he was very handsome, slightly feminine, and looked no more than in his early thirties, not at all like he was in his forties. When he said his age, she didn't believe it.

"If you like it, you like it. Phew, who's got to like you? ”

Jiang Yun smiled silently. There should be a break, and I should have a home. Maybe it's fate, at first glance, he fell in love with this tall female teacher, and her heartiness and simplicity satisfied him. Especially her innocence, which doesn't look like she's in her twenties at all. It's like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Until now, she has not figured out who she is, what position she is, what military rank, and what she does in the General Administration of National Security. Every time he mentioned it, he stopped asking questions as soon as he said it was confidential.

"Exactly. My sister-in-law wants to see you too. You see, do you go to your house first, or do you see my sister-in-law first? ”

"Huh? Aren't you an orphan? How did you come out with a sister-in-law? ”

"It's not my sister-in-law, but it's pretty much the same. I heard about you and me, and I had to see you......"

"Where? Shandong? Chai Lingjiao was happy.

"No, it's in Beijing. If you want, go see my sister-in-law tonight. ”

"Okay." Chai Lingjiao thought, but she is just a sister-in-law, not an in-law.

"That's good. Let's eat. Jiang Yun raised his glass.

Half an hour later. The two of them left the Gu family's old store, "Oh, you didn't say it earlier, should I bring some gifts?" ”

"The gift is ready."

"Where?"

"Come with me." He walks in a dashing posture and is completely a soldier. This is the only place where his identity is revealed. The stride of a soldier is always very special, and you can see it from the elder brother.

A black sedan parked at the corner of the street, shimmering under the streetlights. Seeing Jiang Yun coming out, the driver got out of the car silently. I opened the door of the back seat.

"Get in the car." Jiang Yun made a gesture of please.

Didn't see this car just now? Chai Lingjiao wondered. But he obediently got into the car. It was the first time she had been in a sedan and it felt fresh.

He got into the car from the other side. The driver carefully closes the door. When the driver returned to the driver's seat, he just said, "Let's go." ”

The sedan was launched.

"Where does my sister-in-law live?"

"You'll find out right away."

The car headed north, through Tiananmen Square, onto Chang'an Avenue, all the way to the west. Chang'an Avenue is quiet at night. There were few pedestrians and few vehicles, and the sedan sped westward, quickly out of town.

"Where are you going? This is the dormitory of the government affairs department, and it turns out that my sister-in-law lives in the west. "It's all about government offices. She is unfamiliar with it and rarely comes. For Beijing citizens, "living in the west" is a special reference, and those who live in the west are all upstarts.

Chai Lingjiao was relieved when she thought about it. If according to his brother's inference about him, it is not surprising that his brother-in-law lives in Xincheng.

After the establishment of the Mengshan Army, according to the established overall plan for the construction of the capital, the center moved out of the occupied Xiyuan and the major palaces, built a new city near Yuyuantan in the western suburbs, and moved the army and most of the government offices there. Bounded by Guang'anmen Gate and to the west to Fengtai District, it is basically where military organs and military academies are located, and to the north are the ministries of the Government Council. Dozens of buildings of different shapes have become the beautiful scenery of Kyoto, and between the dozens of government buildings, eight residential communities are planned, which are designed as state government residences, all of which are six-story buildings, with a total of more than 260 buildings. These new buildings, which are the envy of the old residents living in the hutong courtyards, look similar on the outside, but they are actually very different. At present, there are only five districts that have been delivered to users, of which the three districts of C, Geng and Xin have not yet been completed, but it is said that the construction of the new city will be completed before the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

There are many places in the new city that are the envy of the old households, spacious and clean streets, perfect supporting facilities (post office, telegraph office, shops, schools, hospitals, kindergartens, libraries, cinemas, street lights, public toilets, and also designed a street park and several buses), the greening is first-class, the new city is planted tens of thousands of saplings, and now many of the saplings planted ten years ago have become adults, and the new city is hidden in a thick green in spring, summer and autumn. These are not the main things, the most enviable thing for the old Beijingers is that the law and order there are excellent, there are police patrols 24 hours a day, and they have never heard of a vicious public order incident in the new city.

Jiang Yun held Chai Lingjiao's hand in the dark and comforted him softly, "It's almost there, his family lives in District A." ”

The sedan turned north, walked about two miles, passed through a checkpoint, the police looked at the documents handed by the driver, looked in through the rolled down window, and then stood up and saluted, and let go.

Chai Lingjiao suddenly felt a huge strangeness, "How can there be a police inspection?" ”

"Area A is more special......"

"District A?" She seemed to have heard of it, but couldn't remember where she had heard of it. She was pondering the scene just now, the policeman's respectful demeanor towards him......

Chai Lingjiao has only been to Xincheng once. It was still when I was studying at the Conservatory, and there was a father who was the director of the Ministry of Industry at the time, and bought an apartment in the Ding District, and invited the bedmates to be guests at home, which was actually to show off. The house has water and water and an indoor toilet, which makes Chai Lingjiao envious, and the house where the classmate lives is even more warm, the sun shines in through the boss's window, and the fragrance of the sun wafts in the house...... Thinking of the three west houses in her home, Chai Lingjiao, who has a straightforward personality, is very envious of the life of her classmates. And the classmate said that the best is Area A, where there are all independent villas, and all the big people above the minister live......

The courtyard house where she lives is actually a large miscellaneous courtyard, where three families live, and going to the toilet has become her most distressed. When I came back from Xincheng and told my father about the freshness over there, Chai Lingjiao asked my father, since it is also allowed to buy a house freely, should we also buy a set? She didn't know if she had enough money, but she thought it should be about the same, and her family was a solid family. But my father said, what's the good of living upstairs and not being grounded? How can there be a courtyard comfort? Besides, if I live in the wilderness outside the city, how long will it take me to go to the shop? It's unreliable, it's so unreliable. Nanfang Lao Zhu's family is moving to Tongzhou, I am planning with your mother, let's buy Lao Zhu's house. In the future, your brother will have a house to live in......

The South House is even worse, how can it compare with others? Thinking back to the present, Chai Lingjiao's memories are clear, District A, his sister-in-law actually lives in District A, isn't there a ministerial-level high-ranking official living there? Who is his brother-in-law?

Without waiting for her to ask, the car had stopped in front of a stone gate, not a traditional courtyard wall, but a beautiful wrought iron railing, through which she could see the lights hidden behind the trees.

A doorman walked over, carefully looked at the documents handed over by Jiang Yun, saluted Jiang Yun, and gently pushed open the two doors. The car slowly drove into the yard, drove forward for a long time, and finally stopped.

"Where is this?" Chai Lingjiao asked Jiang Yun, her voice trembling a little.

"Come down. This is the Presidential Palace. This time, without waiting for the driver to open the door, Jiang Yun got out of the car, went around and opened the door on his girlfriend's side, "Get out of the car, I'm home." ”

Always have to face it, now that the decision has been made, it doesn't matter if you have a qiē.

"Is Miss Xiaochai here? Please. Chen Shu greeted the door with a smile. (Want to know more exciting news about "Mengshan Army"?)
