Chapter 232: Old Things (Part II)
Zhao Jin didn't feel abnormal, so he naturally raised his hand to hold the old man's half-lifted arm, and helped him walk forward, while saying, "Grandpa, say more, how did my grandfather hurt my second uncle, what about my mother?" Didn't she also grow up with her grandfather? ”
Chief Zhao glanced at him and decided to educate his grandson well, but he still had to foreshadow, he was still a very reasonable grandfather.
He doesn't want their family to have an unfilial son like Yi Xu in the future, Zhao Qin.
So he coughed lightly and said, "Isn't this unfinished?" When your uncle was born, your grandfather was on the battlefield, and when he came back, your uncle was two years old, but he didn't stop, and after coming back for a few days, he went to the army again, and then we were transferred to the northwest, and the conditions in that place were difficult, and your grandmother couldn't follow the army, so she took her children alone in the capital to make a living. ”
Chief Zhao sighed and said: "So the Yi family owes the Lin family, and it is impossible to count, at that time, Mr. Lin and his wife were in the same place as your grandmother and uncle, so they couldn't help but take more care, your uncle and Lin Wenzhan, the eldest son of the Lin family, grew up together." ”
"The enlightenment was all opened by Mr. Lin, and then Mr. Lin didn't want to work in the logistics department of the army, so he resigned and went to the university to find a job by himself, his wife Mr. Su is also a strange woman, and she went to teach in the university with him, and even the life with your grandmother and uncle is much better."
"In fact, your grandfather's life in the army was also a little sad in those years, he had qualifications, but he had no education, he had never read, and the only word he recognized was learned from Mr. Lin after joining the army, even the name ......" Chief Zhao pouted, "Your grandfather's current name was given to him by Mr. Lin, and they were suppressing bandits at that time, so he took the word "Kou" very domineeringly." ”
"So you see, your grandfather has no culture, no connections, of course it will be difficult in the army, in those years, he almost didn't go further, and I came back to catch up with him."
Zhao Changsheng was in elementary school and had a primary school diploma, which was very useful at the time.
"Until your grandmother took your eldest uncle with the army, and then became pregnant with your second uncle, almost as soon as the second uncle was born, your grandfather took a big step forward and crossed the saddest hurdle."
"In less than two years, your uncle is not young, and he wants to study in junior high school, how can there be a junior high school in our garrison at that time? There is only one who runs more than 40 miles away, and there are only two teachers in the whole school, your grandfather has suffered enough of being uneducated, and he feels that he doesn't believe it, so he wrote to Mr. Lin and entrusted your uncle directly to him, so Yi Lei's time by Mr. Lin's side is longer than in front of your grandfather, didn't you see that just in the hall, Mr. Lin's food and tea were served by Yi Lei himself? ”
Zhao Jin only felt that he had heard more old things today than he had accumulated twenty years ago, and he clutched his chest and asked excitedly, "What about later?" ”
"Later? Later, your grandfather only had a child by his side, your second uncle, and your mother, a son and a daughter, and his wife by his side, do you think he is beautiful? Chief Zhao smiled: "Don't talk about your grandfather, it's me, I also love your father a little more, he has a similar birthday as your second uncle, and he also grew up in front of Lao Tzu, and your aunts are much worse." ”
Zhao Jin said secretly: Isn't that your patriarchy?
"Chief Zhao doesn't know about his belly, but I'm still very strict with your father, unlike your grandfather, I didn't hurt your second uncle at that time, he wanted to eat white noodles, so he shrunk three cigarettes a day to one, just to save money to buy white noodles for him to eat, the clothes sent to your uncle are all old clothes that have been exchanged for them, and the clothes you send to your second uncle are all new cloths, and the children who are the same age as your second uncle in the army at that time, which one is not wearing the old clothes that his brother and sister have changed or the second-hand goods that have been exchanged from outside?"
"As for your second uncle, there are two sets of new clothes every year, hey, but your father is envious, and he didn't make a lot of trouble with me at that time, saying that he would not wear your aunts' old clothes."
Zhao Jin: "......"
"If it weren't for the revolution that made people panic later, and it also caused trouble to Mr. Lin, in fact, the big guy's life was not bad at that time, and there would be less white flour and fine grain and less meat than now, and life would still be very good."
Zhao Jin asked curiously, "What is the reason why Mr. Lin was troubled?" ”
"Deserter!" Chief Zhao said with a tense face: "There was a bastard in the army, when the revolution was the most fierce in '69, someone told Mr. Lin secretly, saying that he had been a deserter on the battlefield of the Northern Dynasties, and your grandfather was so angry that he dragged a few of us to testify to Mr. Lin, but it was ...... at the time.
Chief Zhao didn't finish speaking, but Zhao Jin also understood that Chief Zhao and the others definitely didn't stand up in the end.
"Then my grandfather ......"
At that time, Mr. Lin was in the school, which was the education system, and it was far away in the capital, and we were out of reach in the Northwest Army, so we couldn't take care of it at all, and the commander said that if there was a way to get people to the logistics of the military department, they might have a way to intervene, and your grandfather ran inside and out, drained his family, and finally ran for a place, but Mr. Lin was stubborn, and would rather go back to the countryside than return to the army."
At that time, he fell in love with Yi Lei and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, plus he was close to Yi Wenkou, so he knew all these things.
And although he didn't come forward, he lent money to Yi Wenkou, and the allowance for two years younger.
"The Lin family was criticized once, your grandfather specially asked for leave to go to Mr. Lin's hometown, greeted him up and down, and took Lin Wenzhan away," Chief Zhao paused and said: "This is also one of your grandfather's knots, at that time the Lin family was classified as a bad element, Lin Wenzhan didn't even want to be a soldier, he couldn't even continue to study in school, your grandfather also went through the back door to get people into the army, and no one thought it was wrong at that time." ”
"But who would have thought that Lin Wenzhan would be transferred to the Vietnam battlefield with Yi Lei just after the recruit period, and who would have thought that he would die in battle to save Yi Lei? Your grandfather, who knelt directly outside the Lin family's door at that time......"
"For so many years, Lin Yi and the two families have been kind to each other, many things are not clear, your grandfather loves your second uncle so much, but for two years, your second uncle has never eaten a full meal, just because he asked for money to leave the favor, and asked someone to send the food to Mr. Lin, at that time, we were in the northwest, that place, it is rare to see two catties of white flour all year round, your grandfather was stunned to hide the white noodles issued during the New Year, stuffed in a large pile of cotton and sent it to the Lin family for thousands of miles, and even quit smoking......"
"So, Ding Lao and I didn't dare to say too much to your grandfather, but Mr. Lin was able to make him kneel." Chief Zhao patted his grandson on the shoulder and said: "Child, if you talk about your contribution to the country, Mr. Lin is no less than any of us here, and the biggest stain on your grandfather's life is probably your second uncle. ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, if my son is born in the future, I will not spoil him!"
Chief Zhao smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Okay, let's go home first, and wait for your father to come back in the evening." ”
"What are you waiting for Dad to come back?"
"I'm going to teach your father, although he is not young, but I think Mr. Lin has a sentence that is particularly right, it is not too late to make amends."
Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, and ordered a row of wax for his father in his heart, but he was very supportive of his grandfather's approach, his father ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, even if it was for his mother, he felt that his father should be taught.
At this time, he didn't realize the danger, and helped his grandfather into the door.
