Chapter 503 Is their house a den of tigers and leopards?
Li Xiang looked at the sky and said, "I can just go home."
Seeing this, Tan Chen walked out and asked as he walked, "Is your home far from here? Do you want me to give you a ride?"
"My home is in the military compound, which is not very close to here. If it's on your way, I'd like to do you a favor." Li Xiang said.
Tan Chen raised his eyebrows: "Does your family also live in the military compound?"
When Li Xiang heard Tan Chen's tone, he asked tentatively, "Don't tell me, where do you live too?"
He grew up in a military compound and knew almost everyone there, but the person in front of him was a stranger to him.
But thinking about Tan Chen's surname, I thought of something that has been circulating in the compound recently.
That is, Brigade Commander Tan found his son who had been lost for many years.
And there is only one family with the surname Tan in the compound.
"You...you are not the grandson of Mr. Tan?"
Tan Chen didn't expect that Li Xiang could still match his identity, and was obviously a little surprised.
"Do you know my grandfather?"
Li Xiang was no longer as reserved as he had just been when communicating with Tan Chen, and returned to his original nonchalant demeanor.
If Tan Chen hadn't dodged quickly, Li Xiang's arm would have been on his shoulder.
Seeing Tan Chen avoiding him, Li Xiang didn't feel embarrassed and said with a smile.
"No wonder you are so skilled, you are the son of Brigade Commander Tan.
Oh my, it is true that a tiger father has no dog son, and a leopard master has no grandson. "
This flattery was really loud.
Tan Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xiang: "Master Bao has no grandson?"
This was the first time he had heard such a way of praising someone. It felt completely irrelevant. Could it be that their home was a den of tigers and leopards?
Li Xiang chuckled again: "Of course, even though I've never been a soldier, I know a lot about the people in our compound.
It is said that when Old Tan was fighting on the battlefield, his bravery was such that he could defeat a hundred enemies alone. Brigade Commander Tan is even better than his teacher, so his bravery is naturally no exception..."
When Tan Chen saw Li Xiang talking about the past of his grandfather and father, he became quite interested.
The two got into the jeep, and Tan Chen continued to ask:
"What else do you know about my grandfather and father? Tell me more about it."
When Li Xiang saw Tan Chen asking this, he felt that he had finally found a topic to talk about. He talked incessantly all the way, telling Tan Chen the heroic deeds he knew about Mr. Tan and his son Tan Shaowen in a vivid way, just like telling a story.
Mr. Tan and Tan Shaowen rarely mentioned these things in front of Tan Chen.
Perhaps they were unwilling to talk about the psychological damage caused to them during that period of demotion, or perhaps they felt that these things were in the past and did not want to mention them again.
In short, after listening to Li Xiang's story, Tan Chen felt that he had a heartfelt admiration for his grandfather and father.
With Li Xiang telling stories beside me, the journey didn't seem so long.
When Tan Chen's jeep arrived at the gate of the compound and was waiting for the guards to open the door, Li Xiang stuck his head out of the car window and greeted the soldiers guarding the gate.
The level of familiarity between them showed that they had communicated a lot.
"It's your turn today, Comrade Xiao Zhao."
Xiao Zhao knew that Tan Chen was Mr. Tan’s grandson, so he naturally went to open the door without asking.
When I turned around, I saw Li Xiang greeting me with a proud look.
"Li Xiang, you came back early today?"
If it wasn't difficult to ask in front of Tan Chen, he would have wanted to ask Li Xiang how he ended up hanging out with Mr. Tan's grandson?
It must be that Mr. Tan’s grandson didn’t know what kind of person Li Xiang was, otherwise he would have ignored him.
Tan Chen didn't know what Xiao Zhao was thinking. Seeing that the two had nothing to say, he drove the car into the compound.
Mr. Tan’s single-family house was at the innermost part of the yard, and the car drove along the path inside.
When passing a row of bungalows, Li Xiang said, "Stop, we're at my house."
Tan Chen stepped on the brakes and the car stopped steadily on the side of the road.
Li Xiang jumped out of the car, leaned over to Tan Chen's window and said, "I see we're about the same age, so is it okay for me to call you by your name from now on?"
Tan Chen didn't know why Li Xiang suddenly brought this up, so he replied calmly, "Okay."
Li Xiang said very familiarly: "Okay, from now on I will just call you by your name when I see you."
"Tan Chen, are you going to the Siheyuan tomorrow? If so, can you give me a ride?"
Tan Chen was no longer surprised by Li Xiang's outgoing nature.
"Tomorrow is the first day of work, and I will definitely go and keep an eye on it. I'll be waiting for you here at 7 o'clock in the morning."
The two agreed on a time to leave.
When Tan Chen returned home, his family was waiting for him to come back for dinner.
At the dinner table, Tan Shaowen asked, "Tan Chen, have all the people from Sihe Village arrived?"
Tan Chen nodded: "Well, everyone is here, we can start work tomorrow."
