Chapter 198 The leader's brother-in-law intercepted
"Passed the exam in advance?!"
Wen Yaozu's pupils were filled with shock. He reached out and hugged Gu Che's arm, saying with a smile, "Brother Gu Che, let me get a taste of your academic spirit. I also want to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future."
Gu Che did not discourage him, and said with a smile: "Okay, then Xiao Yaozu must study hard and strive to become my junior in a few years."
"Uh-huh."
Wen Ci saw the interaction between the two and had to admit that Gu Che was a good man, but his girlfriend was Jiang Ye.
"Where are you planning to go first?"
Wen Yaozu replied: "My sister wants to take me to the professor to learn how to use the computer first."
"Computer?" Gu Che looked at Wen Ci. He had heard the elders of the Jiang family mention it yesterday.
Wen Ci made a lot of money by buying clothes.
But I didn't expect that I would be able to afford a computer so soon.
There are not many computers in the computer rooms of Peking University and Tsinghua University. If students want to use a computer, they must be in class and under the supervision of a professor.
Gu Che was envious and pointed the way: "The professors of the Computer Science Department all live in the family building in Area C. You can go there directly."
"Thanks."
Wen Ci didn't want to talk to Gu Che for long, for fear that someone he knew would see them and tell Jiang Ye, which would cause a lot of trouble. So he pulled Wen Yaozu towards the campus of Peking University and Tsinghua University.
After entering Tsinghua and Peking University, Wen Yaozu asked curiously, "Sister, why are you and Brother Gu Che so unfamiliar now?"
The two of them had a very good relationship in the past. He had even heard his parents talk about the idea of marrying his sister to Brother Gu Che, and he thought that Brother Gu Che would become his brother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the leader's brother-in-law snatched it away.
"Strange?"
Wen Yaozu nodded his head like pounding garlic: "Before, you two always looked at each other with smiles, and you were shy, but now you feel like you don't even want to pay attention to me."
Wen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.
That is the original Wen Ci and has nothing to do with me.
What's more, even if Huo Jingyuan wasn't there, she wouldn't choose Gu Che. The 1980s was the most profitable era, and it would be better to pursue a career and become a wealthy woman than to fall in love!
We arrived at the staff housing compound in Area C. It is a three-story building made of red bricks, with a huge locust tree in the middle of the compound.
There were stone stools under the locust tree, and a few older grandmothers were chatting. Wen Ci walked over with Wen Yaozu by the hand and asked in a sweet voice:
"Professors, I want to ask Wu Qian, where does Professor Wu live?"
"What can I do for you?"
Wen Ci answered truthfully: "It's like this, my husband is Huo Jingyuan, and I came to Tsinghua and Peking University to learn computers from Professor Wu."
Hearing this, an old professor stood up slowly with a cane, looked at Wen Ci kindly, and said with a smile: "I am Wu Qian's mother. She is in the computer classroom today. I will take you to my house for a visit."
Wen Ci refused repeatedly, "No, no, I can go to the computer classroom by myself."
"Huo Jingyuan sounds so familiar, could he be the grandson of the late Chief Huo?"
The old professor nodded: "It's Old Man Huo's grandson."
Hearing this, Wen Ci's eyes lit up with gossip. The other old professors were about the same age as Professor Wu's mother, but they all called Huo Jingyuan's grandfather "Chief Huo".
Only Professor Wu's mother called him: Old Man Huo.
From the way they address each other, we can tell that Professor Wu’s mother and Huo Jingyuan’s grandfather know each other, and it seems that they are very familiar with each other.
"Come to my house and sit down?"
Wen Ci nodded obediently: "Okay."
After saying that, she let go of Wen Yaozu's hand and walked to Grandma Wu's side: "I'll support you."
Grandma Wu’s house is in the south-facing building, Room 103.
The door was not locked and was half open. The house was a two-bedroom apartment with an old-fashioned sofa in the living room and a TV on the cabinet.
"What position does Xiao Jingyuan hold now?"
Wen Ci pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.
Huo Jingyuan is now injured and has been temporarily transferred to northern Shaanxi to serve as the regiment political commissar, but being the political commissar is only temporary. Once his body recovers, he will still be the regiment commander.
"Can't tell?"
Wen Ci shook his head, "No, it's just that I don't know how to say it. He will soon be transferred to northern Shaanxi to serve as a regiment political commissar for a year, and when his term is over, he will return to the northwest to serve as the regiment commander."
The appointment of military officers is not a secret. Officers at the level of regimental political commissar will have their credentials notarized, and anyone with any connections can find out.
As a professor of the older generation of Peking University and Tsinghua University, it was easy for Grandma Wu to find out Huo Jingyuan's position.
"Regimental political commissar? Xiao Jingyuan's promotion channel is a bit slow."
Wen Ci smiled lightly and replied, "Grandma Wu, Jing Yuan's promotion in the army is already quite good, and now it's not like before."
In the past, it was easy to gain military merit during wartime, which led to quick promotions, but it was also more dangerous.
It is not as dangerous as before, and it is not so easy for officers to be promoted. Huo Jingyuan became the head of a regiment at a young age and also won many military merits.
"That's true."
Grandma Wu's home was clean and tidy. The sofa was covered with a solid-colored cover, and a kettle and old-fashioned bowls and cups were placed on the table. "I'll pour you some water."
"No, we'll do it ourselves."
As soon as he sat down, Wen Ci saw the photo wall next to the TV. The photos were marked with dates and were group photos from the 1920s.
The man standing in the center position looks a bit like Huo Jingyuan.
Wen Ci guessed.
The person in the center of the photo should be Huo Jingyuan’s grandfather.
Wen Ci's eyebrows curved, "Grandma Wu, I'm a little curious, are you and Jing Yuan's grandfather comrades-in-arms?"
"Like a friend but not a friend."
"ah?"
Wen Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had heard some gossip. The term "like friend but not friend" was used quite "ambiguously", which could mean friendship or not friendship.
"It's old stuff, let's not talk about it."
-
Wen Ci stayed at Grandma Wu's house for half an hour. Although he didn't hear the gossip in person, he more or less guessed something after knowing Grandma Wu's background.
Grandma Wu was one of the first group of people to go abroad at public expense.
In that era, it was not easy to be recognized by the country and study abroad at public expense. It was even more difficult for Grandma Wu as a girl.
Perhaps because Grandma Wu and Huo Jingyuan's grandfather went abroad, they missed each other.
"I know how to use a computer. I have one at home."
Wen Ci's eyes widened, but he quickly put away his shock. Grandma Wu was one of the first high-level talents to go abroad and come into contact with computers.
It is normal to have a computer at home.
Wen Ci was troubled about how to pay Professor Wu for his lessons.
Even if you take out the money, Grandma Wu will definitely not take it.
It won’t work if you don’t pay.
Suddenly, Wen Ci had an idea. Instead of being stuck here and worrying about it, it would be better to let the culprit solve it. Huo Jingyuan deliberately asked him to come over.
Then leave it to him.
"Grandma Wu, do you have a landline at home? I'll call Jing Yuan over now and ask him to chat with you. I'm sure you haven't seen him in many years."
"Okay, the phone is under the table."
Grandma Wu bent down to take out the landline phone, and Wen Ci quickly supported her, "No need, I'll get it, you just sit down."
