024 Stone lion in front of Maple Grove Road
Everyone chatted while eating, teapot after pot was brewed, and ashtrays were poured into one jar after another. We chatted until after eleven o'clock, during which we left each other's phone numbers and addresses, and agreed to contact Yunyun from time to time.
If it weren't for the fact that they all had to return to the team later, I'm afraid we would have to continue to talk.
Everyone else came by car, and some brought a driver. Zhu Jingxing did not have a car, and Huang Zhengzhong drove Zhu Jingxing back to the army guest house.
There was a light rain in the sky, just when the spring was cold, the outside of the car was bitterly cold, but the inside of the car was as warm as spring. Zhu Jingxing, who was lying in the back seat, was already a little drunk, and he said with a smile: "Old classmate, I understand your intention for today's move. Today, I have arranged for so many powerful children to get to know me, and you are trying to pull me in the need. It's rare that you can still think of me at this time, and you can rest assured that I will not disappoint your expectations. The friendship of the General Assembly has been ...... for a long time"
"You're drunk,......" Huang Zhengzhong shook his head and said.
Zhu Jingxing waved his hand and said: "At such times, it is better to be drunk than not to be drunk!" ”
Huang Zhengzhong did not answer, his classmate is a typical realist, everything will take into account the actual situation, and rarely have ungrounded decisions. However, those who study Mandarin are somewhat conceited and romantic, and they are inevitably dissatisfied and indignant with reality, and it is inevitable to complain a few words.
After seeing off Zhu Jingxing, Huang Zhengzhong drove home.
At this time, his brother Huang Zheng had already arrived home.
The brothers saw that the guards around them had been strengthened, and Fenglin Road was full of guards with guns, and there was a serious murderous aura in the air.
"What about Mother?" Huang Zhengzhong asked his brother Huang Zheng. Before Huang Zheng could answer, the chief of the guard, Fourteen Tsai, walked over to the two of them solemnly and said, "Are you back?" Madame is now in the hospital. ”
"In the hospital? What's wrong! The two asked in unison.
Fourteen Tsai said solemnly: "The mansion was attacked just now, but it was not serious, and Mrs. was slightly injured in the attack." ”
"What? Brother, in which hospital, we'll go over now. ”
"Okay, I'll go drive." After hearing this, the two brothers hurriedly got to work.
"Wait a minute!" Fourteen Tsai waved his hand and said, "The commander is waiting for you in the study upstairs, and I tell you to go up as soon as you come back." ”
The two brothers couldn't help but glance at each other, their father was waiting for them so late, so he must have something to say? With mixed feelings, the two followed Fourteen Boy upstairs with not easy steps.
went upstairs, Fourteen knocked on the door and left. He knew that Huang Ke was going to talk to his two sons, and it was inconvenient for him to listen, so he took the door with him.
In the study, Huang Ke was reviewing some documents, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he screwed the pen in his hand on the lid, put the document away and said, "Sit down." I heard you went to dinner today? ”
Huang Zheng saw what his father asked, so he said directly: "Yes, my brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, plus there are his classmates and friends, so I found someone to get together." ”
After speaking, Huang Zhengzhong added: "I proposed it, but the money was paid by the eldest brother." ”
Huang Ke waved his hand, "It's nothing. It's normal to eat and drink with friends, but normal communication is still necessary. Also, you need to create some of your own circle of friends. ”
Hearing his father say this, Huang Zhengzhong hurriedly asked, "Father, I heard that the official residence was just attacked?" ”
Huang Zheng also asked, "Mother, is she injured?" Who did this? ”
"Well, it's not in the way, it's just a little frightened, and a little skin trauma, you can visit her in the hospital later. Who did it is being investigated, and now I can't decide. ”
Huang Ke said lightly: "Today's incident also gives me a reminder. I'm waiting for you to come today to ask you what you plan to do in the future. ”
In fact, he has always wanted to talk to the children about the path he chooses in the future. He used to plan the path for his children, but after all, he still felt that it was better to let them choose for themselves. Today's attack on the official residence made him have to think.
After the two brothers glanced at each other, the eldest brother Huang Zheng took the lead and said: "Father, I am still willing to join the army, and it is my lifelong pursuit to strengthen the army and protect the people." ”
Huang Ke nodded, "I spent the first half of my life pursuing two things, one is rich and the other is strong. The foundation of strength lies in the economy, and the manifestation lies in the army. You are now one of the youngest generals in the Wehrmacht, and there are certainly a lot of my factors in this, but more often than not, you are steadfast and hardworking, step by step. Well, Father has your back. But do you want to talk about how to make the army strong? ”
This question stopped Huang Zheng, although this topic is often on his lips, but if he really says it, he doesn't know where to start, this question is too broad and too big, and he can't answer it for a while.
Huang Ke waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry first, in a few days, you can give me some specific detailed reports on the popularization of the Airborne Forces." By the way, you're not too young, have you considered personal problems? ”
As soon as he asked these words, Huang Zheng thought of Wu Yeqing's figure, which was one of the few women he had come into contact with over the years, and he was also the one who had been in contact with him.
When Huang Ke saw the meaning of what he said, he also knew that he had a suitable partner for the Xu family, so he smiled and said, "If you have it, bring it back and take a look, your mother often talks about it." I don't have any requirements for your friends, as long as the girls can be kind. ”
After Huang Zheng finished speaking, Huang Ke turned to Huang Zhengzhong and asked, "Zhengzhong, what about you?" ”
Huang Zhengzhong thought about it and said: "I can't make too much contribution to being rich and strong. However, I want to follow the example of Mr. Liang Qichao and Mr. Lu Xun, and devote myself to the enlightenment of the people and the dissemination of new ideas and culture! ”
Hearing Huang Zhengzhong's words, Huang Ke was silent for a while, he stood up and thought about it and said: "In the countryside, if a person has the skill of slaughtering dogs, it is not a problem to mix a family with a round belly; If someone can have the skill of slaughtering tigers, they can be famous for a long time, enter and exit the carriage and horses, and have no worries about food and clothing; But if you have the skill of slaying dragons, but you can't even eat, why do you say this? ”
Huang Zheng thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's because there are no dragons in this world at all, even if you have the skill of slaying dragons, you can only be regarded as bragging and showing, and naturally you can't even eat a full mouth." ”
Huang Zhengzhong naturally understood that his father said such a thing to tell himself that he was equivalent to learning dragon slaying by doing so. At present, China is still under foreign aggression, and its basic security has not yet been guaranteed.
Huang Zhengzhong wanted to say a few words, but Huang Ke interrupted him, "Zhengzhong's idea is good, you can continue to walk according to your idea." Although what your brother said is correct, the art of dragon slaying is really useless at the moment. But that's just the case. Although there are no dragons for you to capture at the moment, it is difficult to say. Whether there is a dragon or not, there is a need for people in this world who have the true art of catching dragons. ”
These words obviously affirmed Huang Zhengzhong's thoughts, in fact, no matter what they choose, as long as it is not misguided, Huang Ke will support it.
Huang Ke continued: "If you are willing to engage in politics in the future, you can continue to engage in politics, and if you are not willing to engage in politics, you will live according to your own ideas. Your sister now runs a newspaper and does diplomacy in the United States, and she has sacrificed too much of her personal freedom and interests for the sake of this government and this country, but so is life. You are lucky enough, you don't know that many children from ordinary families will be forced to choose a path they don't like because of various livelihoods since they were young, and they don't even have any chance to change. ”
"You are now blessed with unique conditions, so I don't want you brothers to be the same, you can choose your own path, whether it is in the army, politics, or learning, but you must understand that you are in this whirlpool of power, and your generation, and even the next generation, cannot get out of this whirlpool of power." After speaking, Huang Ke walked to the window, looked at the neon night outside, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "In the entire Fenglin Road, I am afraid that only the pair of stone lions at the intersection are clean." ”
The brothers naturally understood that these words came from Dream of Red Mansions and were Liu Xianglian's evaluation of Jiafu. Nowadays, Nanjing's Fenglin Road is the residence of high-level dignitaries from all walks of life, and it is also a synonym for the highest power.
The Huang Zheng brothers grew up here, and they are also familiar with the power struggle here, to put it mildly, maybe even the pair of stone lions were forced to stain blood.
"I'll ask Fourteen to arrange a car to take you to the hospital. By the way, Zheng'er, you can tell your mother about your friends, she is in a low mood right now, and this is a happy event for her. ”
After speaking, Huang Ke waved his hand and motioned for the two to continue walking. The two brothers looked at each other, got up to say goodbye to their father, and went out.
When they were about to go out, they looked back at their father's back, who had always been omnipotent, and now had a little silver hair and a hunched back......
After the brothers went out, Fourteen Tsai had already arranged for a vehicle to take the brothers to the nearby St. Mary's Hospital. Because I was just a little frightened, I just need to check my cultivation.
On the way, Huang Zheng asked Fourteen Tsai about the attack just now, and Fourteen Tsai frowned and said, "This is my dereliction of duty." Shortly before you returned, a car passed by a kilometer away from the residence, and you know that although Fenglin Road is usually regulated, it is not very strict, and the car passing by is not in the way. We thought there was nothing, but there were gunmen shooting at the commander's car. ”
Speaking of this, Fourteen Tsai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The bullet hit the car, but no one was injured, and Mrs. fell down because of fright." ”
Hearing Fourteen Tsai say this, the Huang Zheng brothers breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this matter is not so simple.
