Chapter 40: Relatives Visit



Uncle Zou is nearly 10 years old. Although he is old, he is in good health, with sharp eyes and full of energy.

He used to be a worker in a machinery factory workshop. He injured his left hand and became disabled because he saved a relative who was forced in by the personnel section chief. The man was ungrateful and even blamed him. The personnel section chief not only asked him to compensate for the loss of the machine, but also wanted to fire him.

At that time, he had elderly and young children in his family, and they were counting on him to support the family. This incident simply cut off his career path.

Fortunately, the old factory manager Shen saw through everything and cleared his name, and gave his crippled body a job.

The salary of a security guard is not high, but it is enough to make ends meet.

By the time of Shen Wenbo's generation, the factory leaders had been replaced one after another.

Once the policy of going to the countryside was introduced, jobs became hard to buy even with money. This security guard, who was usually looked down upon, suddenly became a hot commodity. Someone reported him on the grounds of his old age and disability, hoping to keep his position vacant.

It was Shen Wenbo who guaranteed to keep him here.

Uncle Zou still remembers Shen Wenbo's words. He said: "I think Uncle Zou is more qualified for this position than anyone else. He never lags in daily patrols, rain or shine, and is extremely efficient when opening and closing doors. He is full of energy on duty every day, with a friendly smile and full of energy. He is much better than most people."

This time when the news that Ye Qilan was a capitalist lady came out, he was also shocked.

He watched Shen Wenbo grow up, and he knew a little about the Ye family's affairs, but his words were not influential and he had no evidence. He was sighing and worried about the Shen family's affairs.

At this time, a man in a Zhongshan suit came over and asked sternly, "Uncle, how do I get to Shen Nanqing's house?"

Uncle Zou looked up and saw the man was tall and straight, with neatly combed hair and a pair of sharp and shrewd eyes, giving people a feeling of awe-inspiring power without even being angry.

"What are you doing at the Shen's house?" Uncle Zou was trembling with fear. At this critical moment, everyone was avoiding the Shen's family. The person in front of him looked extraordinary and he was afraid that he had bad intentions. He stared at him warily.

Song Huaixi immediately restrained his expression and showed a gentle smile on his face, "He is a relative of the Shen family."

He originally wanted to say that he was the brother of Shen Nanqing's girlfriend, but he thought that the two of them had not yet obtained the marriage certificate, so it would be inappropriate to publicize it everywhere. The girlfriend's relatives are also relatives, so there is nothing wrong with saying this.

"How come I haven't seen any relatives of the Shen family?" Uncle Zou was guarding the gate for so many people. Everyone who entered and left the compound had to pass by him. He was a man with outstanding temperament, but he had no impression of him at all. He was a little unconvinced, "How about this! I will take you there myself."

Although I am an old man, I still have some experience.

No, seeing Shen Nanru rushing out of the door, Uncle Zou shouted loudly: “Xiaoru, this comrade said he is your relative, do you know him?”

Seeing that the old man treated him as a scammer, Song Huaixi felt a little uncomfortable and touched his head and nose. He didn't expect that he would have such a day.

No, when his brother comes back, he must compensate him for his mental damages.

Obviously, Shen Nanru didn't know the other person, and he asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Seeing this, Uncle Zou stood in front of Shen Nanru and protected Shen Nanru behind him like a calf.

When the people in Shen's house heard the noise, they all ran to the gate and looked in this direction.

Song Huaixi's appearance is undoubtedly outstanding, but in comparison, his temperament immersed in officialdom is more noticeable.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, saying that they couldn't think of this person and didn't know him.

At this time, a figure emerged from between Shen Nansu and Zheng Pingwan. This person was none other than little Shen Man. He was the only person in the family, except Shen's mother, who had seen Song Huaiwen.

Song Huaixi was used to being surrounded by people and being stared at like a star. At this moment, he was being stared at by everyone in the Shen family, their eyes were full of vigilance and inquiry, which made him feel a little helpless and very strange.

He coughed dryly and was about to introduce himself when he was interrupted by a childish voice.

"Are you my uncle's family?" Shen Man was usually careless, but when he knew something bad was happening at home, he became timid because he was still young.

Song Huaixi was like Boya meeting his lover, with a smile on his face, "Yes, he is Song Huaiwen's brother, Song Huaixi."

When Shen Nanru heard the other party's identity, he showed a look of shame on his face, and hurriedly stepped aside to make way for the person to enter the door, "I'm sorry, I was really rude just now."

It's really not Shen Nanru's fault. He knew that his younger sister's boyfriend was a soldier, and the image in his mind was naturally resolute, masculine and upright, but the man in front of him was so shrewd, sharp and authoritative that he really didn't associate the two of them.

When Su Hua and Zheng Pingwan heard that the other party was Song Huaiwen's brother, they hurried in to prepare tea.

Uncle Zou saw that this was a misunderstanding, and breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Shen Nanru's exhausted face, and finally couldn't say any words of comfort. He could only sigh and patted his shoulder with his right hand.

Shen Nanru saw Uncle Zou's protective behavior just now. Seeing that Uncle Zou was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'm really sorry to bother you. Come in and have some water."

When a guest came to the Shen family, Uncle Zou felt it was inappropriate to go in and wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stand Shen Nanru pulling him, so he had to go in.

Compared to his second brother's smoothness, Shen Nansu is more direct. "We haven't seen Song Huaiwen before, so we didn't recognize you. Sorry!"

"It's okay." While waving his hand, Song Huaixi began to look around the hall of the Shen family. It really lived up to 깊's words of low-key luxury.

The furniture in the Shen family is all made of the finest black walnut. Maybe because they have been there for a long time, the color has become darker. If you don’t know, you might have thought it was just ordinary dark wood furniture.

The ink painting hanging on the wall should be an authentic work of Zhang Daqian. The porcelain vase on the table looks good too, but I wonder if it is authentic.

After looking around, Song Huaixi's head tightened. My goodness, could his brother really find a capitalist's daughter?

Su Hua came over with a white porcelain cup, "Comrade Song, have some tea."

The pressure from Song Huaiwen's brother was too strong. The highest-ranking official she had ever seen was her father-in-law, the factory director. She didn't dare to look him in the eye.

If Zheng Pingwan hadn't said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and that she, the second sister-in-law, should receive guests with the manners of a woman when the eldest sister-in-law is not around, she really wanted to hide in the kitchen and not come out.

"Thank you." Song Huaixi took the teacup and drank a sip, then put it aside, and then said to Shen Nanru: "Time is precious, don't beat around the bush, how much do you know about my aunt's affairs?"

Shen Nanru's heart thumped, and he exchanged a glance with Shen Nansu, then looked at Song Huaixi in confusion, "Mother?"

Seeing that the two had misunderstood each other, Song Huaixi hurriedly explained, "It's like this. My brother heard that something happened to my aunt. He only knew that she was taken away by the Revolutionary Committee for investigation. He didn't know the details. He should have come to the door in person, but he received an emergency mission. The mission of a soldier is to obey orders. He had no choice but to entrust this matter to you."
