Chapter 233 I have to change into new clothes (there is a water leak at home, I need to take a leave for one more update)

Lao Lu was holding Li Zhongfa's hand excitedly, but suddenly he heard Li Zhongfa ask "health worker".

He was stunned for a long moment, and his ruddy and excited face suddenly turned into indignation.

"Well, you old man, you ask the hygienist as soon as you meet him?"

"At that time, I saw you as a two-faced person. On the surface, you ordered us not to have any extravagant thoughts and to focus on the war, but secretly you used your position as company commander to curry favor with Wei Sheng."

“.”

Lao Lu's scolding covered Director Li's head and face, making him feel ashamed.

"What are you talking about? You are so old and yet you still speak without restraint."

While Li Zhongfa was scolding harshly, he twisted his lips and glared at Lao Lu.

Lao Lu looked in the direction of Li Zhongfa's crooked mouth and found two little guys with their ears erect and their eyes shining.

Especially the little girl from the Wen family, who usually looks cold, indifferent and quiet, but now her two big eyes are rolling around so fast!

"Ahem~,"

Lao Lu coughed, wiped his tears, looked at Li Ye seriously and asked, "Old Captain, what is the relationship between this little guy named Li Ye and you?"

Li Zhongfa immediately became proud, pulled Li Ye in front of him, raised his chin and said: "Look, this is my grandson, a student of Beijing University, he ranked first in the college entrance examination of Dongshan Province last year, first in the whole province!"

Lao Lu was obviously surprised for a moment, then he said sincerely: "No. 1 in the province? That's really good, amazing."

Li Zhongfa was even more proud: "What about you? Where does your grandson go to school?"

Lao Lu rolled his eyes and said, "My grandsons are all working now. They are members of the glorious working class."

"Oh, how can you let him be a worker? We suffered from lack of education in the past. You have to train him to learn more."

Neither of the two old gang members is easy to deal with. Just now, Lao Lu made fun of Li Zhongfa for being two-faced, and now Li Zhongfa is using his own grandson to attack his old brother.

Lao Lu's crooked mouth was curled up eight miles away, and he said with disdain: "Your grandson can get the first place in the province, what does it have to do with you, an old illiterate? You were not as good as me in the literacy class."

“Cough cough cough~”

Li Ye started coughing continuously and poked Li Zhongfa's back covertly.

Grandpa, this is not the place for bickering. If your future granddaughter-in-law hears the gossip, it will then reach the ears of grandma Wu Juying. Hehehe.

Although Li Zhongfa was still very excited, he also realized that it was not right at this time, so he said to Lao Lu: "I will go in and visit some friends first. When I come out, we have to have a good chat. You wait for me! You must wait for me."

"I will definitely wait for you," Lao Lu said quickly, "You go in and do your business first, we old brothers have time to chat."

Lao Lu took Li Zhongfa's hand and went to the guard room of the COFCO compound.

Although the two are familiar with each other, registration is still necessary, and Lao Lu is not careless about this.

However, looking at Li Zhongfa's work permit, Lao Lu couldn't help but frown and said, "Old company commander, how come you only got a regular officer?"

Li Zhongfa said: "He is a deputy director. He just started working again two years ago. There are no more opportunities anywhere. It's good enough that he can be assigned to a suitable position."

This was the case in the early 1980s. Many old comrades returned to work, but there were not so many positions, so they could only hold deputy positions and wait for retirement.

Not to mention deputy director like Li Zhongfa, there are many deputy ministerial-level officials who hold empty positions. Although the level is high, the position is empty. People like Li Zhongfa are really good.

Lao Lu shook his head and said, "That's too bad. You were the company commander in 1939."

"What's the loss?" Li Zhongfa glared and said seriously: "Compared with those brothers who sacrificed their lives, what have we lost?"

Lao Lu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and muttered: "That's not a loss, it's a big profit."

"Okay, don't think too much about it. It's all fate. If you're alive, you're lucky. If you die, you'll be a martyr."

Li Zhongfa scolded Lao Lu, turned around and left the guard room, and followed Wen Leyu to Wen Qingsheng's house.

But after walking a few steps, he heard Lao Lu behind him shouting, "Comrade Gao Shuyi is still alive! She is living well in Shanghai!"

Li Zhongfa stood there in a daze as if he had been hit by the sunflower acupoint-pressing technique. Then he stiffly turned his neck and slowly turned his head.

The tears that had just stopped began to flow again.

Seeing Li Zhongfa crying, Lao Lu grinned and laughed silently, and added another sentence.

“She married the instructor.”

“.”

"Fuck him. I've known for a long time that something was wrong with him, and I told us not to have any random thoughts and to focus on the war and be on guard against all odds."

. . . . . . . .

When he arrived at Wen Leyu's house, the furious Li Zhongfa had regained his calm demeanor as the director. He greeted the two big guys, Wen Qingsheng and Teacher Ke, as usual, and his words and actions were not inferior to theirs.

After arriving at the dinner table, Wen Qingsheng raised his glass first and said to Li Zhongfa, "The last time I went to Dongshan, I was in a hurry and left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to visit you. I am really ashamed.

This time Comrade Lao Li has come to Beijing, so he must stay for two more days, allowing me to do my best to play the role of a good host and express my gratitude, otherwise I would feel really bad. ”

Li Zhongfa hurriedly laughed and said, "What are you talking about? My Li Ye has been in the capital for more than a year, and it is all thanks to the care you two have given him. Otherwise, with his honest character, who knows how many troubles he would have caused."

Li Zhongfa can become the director, how could he not understand what is happening on the scene?

When Wen Qingsheng first arrived in Qingshui County, he did not enter the house, but he allowed Teacher Ke to bring Wen Leyu to pay him a formal visit, which was not considered a lack of courtesy.

Even so, Li Zhongfa is unique in the entire Qingshui County. Teacher Ke didn't give face to anyone at the beginning.

As for this trip to Beijing, the reason why people invited Li Zhongfa to their home for dinner was actually because of Li Ye.

Back in Qingshui County, Li Ye and Wen Leyu were still in the "not yet lovers" stage. Only when they parted for the last time did Wen Leyu give Li Ye a crooked woolen wallet, which was equivalent to a "love purse".

After arriving in Beijing, the two young people developed rapidly, and Mr. and Mrs. Ke could not find any dissatisfaction with them. Seeing that Li Ye had even reached the point of "coming to their house to cook", could the relationship still be the same?

So Li Zhongfa didn't care about what Wen Qingsheng said about favors or something like that. As long as Mr. and Mrs. Ke treated Li Ye well, that would be better than saying thank you eight hundred times.

But after Li Zhongfa's "modest" words fell, Wen Qingsheng said: "Comrade Li, what you said is wrong. I like Li Ye's honesty.

In the past few years, haven’t we seen enough smart people? It is better to rely on children like Li Ye who are honest and kind-hearted. ”

"That's it~"

Teacher Ke also smiled and corrected Li Zhongfa's wrong view: "Besides, Li Ye can't be called honest, that's called kindness. If he uses his mind, he can be very smart!"

"Really? Look, I've watched him grow up since he was a kid, but I really don't dare to praise him."

Li Zhongfa glanced at Li Ye who was sitting next to him, wondering what tricks his grandson had used to make the two big guys like him so much?

However, while Li Zhongfa's face was filled with joy, he also gave Li Ye a few glances.

[Don't get carried away, kid. Be shy now.] 】

Li Ye quickly lowered his head slightly, smiled awkwardly and acted embarrassed.

Actually! Li Ye could more or less understand what Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng were thinking.

Kindness, as one's status and position increase, will gradually be suppressed by "rationality".

In a fiercely competitive environment, where one is walking on thin ice, who dares to act with "kindness"?

Li Ye was kind-hearted in his previous life, so he was suppressed at the bottom for many years. When his heart gradually became cold and hard, he came to this world again.

He is a lucky guy in this life, and his mind is full of the idea of ​​"even if I lose all my money, I can make it back", and his mentality is completely different, so this precious kindness has never changed.

Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng observed Li Ye from many aspects and discovered this special quality of Li Ye.

Pengcheng Factory No. 7 is expanding rapidly, and Seven-Inch Blade is becoming more and more popular. The young man is proud and talented, and this is the time when his character is most revealed. However, Li Ye is still the same Li Ye.

If you don't quickly grab this child who has vision, ability and kindness to be your son-in-law, are you waiting for him to be snatched away by someone else?

Phoenix men are always in high demand.

After all, the phoenix is ​​a divine bird that soars into the sky and is immortal.

And those Phoenix men who are criticized as being good-for-nothing may just be a colorful rooster that walks with its chin held high.

The couple had talked to this point, so Li Zhongfa was naturally very happy. He drank a few more glasses without realizing it. By the time he left the Wen family, it was already three or four in the afternoon.

As the two walked towards the gate of the compound, Li Zhongfa said to Li Ye, "I've drunk a lot. You have to help Grandpa hold on for a while tonight. Lu Huaishui can drink a lot, so don't let him get Grandpa drunk."

Li Ye advised: "Grandpa, please don't make trouble for others. You are already old, it's not good."

Li Zhongfa said, "His surname is Lu, and his given name is Huaishui, which means "Huai" in Huaihe and "Shui" in river water."

"Oh, oh, oh," Li Ye suddenly understood, and then asked, "Grandpa, was that Uncle Lu your soldier before?"

"Yes!" Li Zhongfa suddenly looked a little sad: "Do you remember what I told you last year, that once the troops broke through, our company was responsible for covering the rear?"

Li Ye nodded and said that he remembered that Li Zhongfa believed in Old Huai Ye and chose the fork on the right. The others took the left. Li Zhongfa said at that time that none of them came back.

Li Zhongfa sighed and said, "At first they took the road on the left, and I thought they were all dead, but I didn't expect some of them survived."

"Oh~"

Li Ye noticed that Li Zhongfa was in a low mood, so he didn't ask any more questions. He would have plenty of opportunities to ask again in the future anyway.

However, when the father and son arrived at the gate, they found that Lu Huaishui was missing, and a young man was guarding the gate for him.

"Little comrade, where did Lu Huaishui go?"

The young man stood up and said with a smile, "You are Comrade Li, right? Master Lu went out to do something urgent. He asked me to leave a message for you, asking you to leave him your address. He will definitely contact you tonight."

"Oh, then I'll write down the contact address."

Li Zhongfa wrote down the hotel he was staying in and its phone number on a piece of paper.

The father and son of the Li family returned to the hotel and waited for Lao Lu to contact them so that they could get him drunk together tonight.

But I waited and waited, and no one showed up until seven or eight in the evening.

"Grandpa, didn't you hear that Grandpa Lu has something urgent to do? If not, why don't you go over and ask him where he lives tomorrow?"

"Hmph, I don't think that's right," Li Zhongfa narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't know how much evil that guy has in his mind. I don't know what evil he is up to!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "I don't think he is that bad. You must be thinking the wrong thing."

As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, the hotel receptionist came over and shouted, "206, phone call."

Li Zhongfa ran downstairs, ran to the front desk, picked up the phone and said, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you and we haven't had dinner yet! Are you going to drink tonight?"

“.”

"Hello? Speak!"

“.”

Li Zhongfa shouted several times, but there was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Just when he thought there was something wrong with the phone, a sobbing voice came from the receiver: "Captain, it's me!"

“.”

Li Zhongfa only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and his blood rushed straight to his forehead.

After a moment, Li Zhongfa trembled and said, "Comrade Gao Shuyi, is that you?"

"It's me!" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be crying with joy, and said indistinctly: "I received a call from Lu Huaishui this afternoon. I waited for a long time before I got your number.

The phone call always goes unanswered. Now I am finally relieved that Lu Huaishui did not lie to me. ”

"How dare he lie to you? If he dares to lie to you, I will beat all the dirty water out of his stomach."

"Captain, you are so old, why are you still so reckless?"

"Yes, yes, we are all old, I just want to talk nonsense, I haven't practiced martial arts for many years, my body is not in good condition anymore."

Li Ye: “.”

[Grandpa, it seems that the person you beat up in the past two years was not my cheap dad, right? 】

But when the person on the other end of the line heard Li Zhongfa say, "I'm not feeling well," he immediately said nervously, "Captain, what's wrong with you? I'll be in Beijing tomorrow and I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

"What? You're coming to the capital. I'm going back to Dongshan tomorrow."

"Don't go back to Dongshan yet," the voice on the other end of the phone became tougher. "I'll take a plane there tomorrow morning. You must wait for me in Beijing."

"Ah? Hey, okay."

Li Ye looked at Li Zhongfa from the side, and couldn't help wanting to laugh when he saw him responding noddingly.

However, after Li Zhongfa carefully hung up the phone, he turned around and put on the face of a "superior".

"Go, get me two sets of each of your Fenghua clothing so I can try them out for size."

“.”

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then he suppressed his laughter and said, "You don't need to try the size. I made it specially for you a few days ago and haven't mailed it back to you yet! I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning."

Li Zhongfa glared at him and said, "What do you mean tomorrow morning? Go get it for me tonight."

“Hahaha~”

Li Ye finally couldn't help laughing, and said, "Grandpa, isn't it just a meeting of old comrades? There's no need to be so anxious and solemn, right? Besides, I don't think they care what you wear."

"What do you know?"

Li Zhongfa's eyes were sharp, like a warrior full of fighting spirit.

"Since your grandmother Gao is here, then the man surnamed Liu will definitely come as well. Forty years ago, he couldn't beat me. Now that we are old, we must not lose to him."

Li Ye nodded and said in deep agreement: "I understand. I totally understand."

Li Zhongfa snorted and said to Li Ye, "You should also dress up. Wear the clothes you wore on TV and show off your presence."

"Ok, definitely Ok, we two are so handsome that they can't stand it."

There was water leaking in the kitchen at home, and the water was dripping downstairs. I dismantled the cabinets to find the leak, and it took a long time to fix it. Fortunately, my downstairs neighbor is very open-minded, otherwise I don’t know what the situation would be like! It was just renovated last year! Even when I was repairing it for someone else, I felt very ashamed.

So, dear readers, please be open-minded and forgive Lao Feng!
