Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to himself, Brother Shen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing Shen Ziming nod, the smile on the uncle's face became even brighter, "What a coincidence."
After that, he pointed at the woman sitting next to their son and said, "Her name is Fang Fengting, she is your aunt's niece, and she is two years younger than you. I think your ages are quite suitable, so I brought her here for you to meet each other."
After hearing what her husband said, the aunt-in-law immediately agreed, "Ziming, look at your daughter Fengting, she's not bad looking, and you two are of the right age."
When the elders are talking, the younger ones should not interrupt.
Here, Shen Mo was also telling Jiang Xi about the closeness of the relationship between Shen's mother and his uncle's family.
It seems that the relationship between Shen's mother and uncle is not very good.
Shen Mo naturally would not hide it, he said to his wife, "My mother's relationship with my uncle's family is not very good."
Hearing this, Jiang Qi thought he had guessed right, and looked at Shen Mo with a thirst for knowledge.
Shen Mo smiled and whispered to his wife, "My uncle is the brigade political commissar of the Tianjin Military Region."
Jiang Qi listened carefully and realized that this uncle's position was not low.
Shen Mo continued, "But the fact that my uncle can get to his current position is actually inseparable from our Shen family. The reason why my mother married my father was because my grandmother was attracted by my grandfather's background and my father's ability.
"My grandmother had some old ideas that favored boys over girls. She married my mother to my father to pave the way for my uncle. My mother married into the Shen family. Although my grandfather did not take the initiative to help, my uncle always mentioned the in-law relationship between the Shen and Yang families. Later, my uncle's career was promoted all the way and he is now the political commissar of the brigade."
Jiang Xing was a little shocked after hearing this. Didn't this uncle rely on his sister's convenience to climb up step by step?
Jiang Xi now understood why Shen's mother had this attitude.
In this era, it is not uncommon for families to favor boys over girls.
The status of women in this era is that a married daughter is like spilled water, but I didn't expect that my grandmother's family would go even further and marry their daughter off to pave the way for their son.
Shen Mo, "Mom is capable and got into a good university on her own. Although my grandparents favored boys over girls, my mom got into university because she fought for the family, so my grandparents still let her finish college."
Jiang Xing nodded. No wonder Shen's mother's speech was extraordinary. Shen Mo's grandparents were not so confused as to know what was going on.
After getting to know each other, Jiang Qing knew that Shen's mother was kind. Her grandparents paid for her to go to college, and Shen's mother must remember this kindness.
So although Mr. Shen did not openly help, my uncle climbed up the career ladder in the military region by relying on Mr. Shen's reputation and never denied this relationship.
This must be related to Shen's mother.
Sure enough, after Shen Mo's next words, Jiang Xi knew that he had guessed right.
Shen Mo said, "My grandparents were actually pretty good people, but they passed away early. They died before my parents were released. The only person they didn't let go of was my uncle. Before they passed away, they asked my mother to help my uncle as much as she could."
"Grandpa, did dad and the others help my uncle?" Jiang Liu asked.
Shen Mo nodded.
My uncle has reached the position of brigade political commissar at such an old age. Behind this, my grandfather and Shen's father have helped a lot.
After all, before liberation, Shen's father had a high military rank, and he earned it all by shooting himself.
But I couldn't escape the darkest period.
But since the Shen family has helped so much, the uncle should be grateful, and his relationship with Shen's mother should not be bad, but Shen's mother's attitude does not seem to be the case.
Shen Mo continued to explain to his wife, "In the beginning, the relationship between my uncle and our family was indeed good. Every year, our family never came to visit us until the eve of our family being released."
What to release?
Jiang Qi knew that this originally good relationship might have deteriorated because of his neglect.
It's not that she thinks it's impossible to rely on connections to get ahead of others. After all, connections are also a kind of luck.
Some people want this level of relationship but don't have it yet.
But looking at the attitude of Shen's mother, it is conceivable that when Shen's father and mother were released, their grandfather could not be relied on, so Shen's mother naturally thought of her own brother.
Shen Mo looked at her expression and said, "At that time, our family was in great trouble. Mom called my uncle to ask for help, but he didn't answer the phone after several days of calls. She also wrote a few letters, but they fell into the sea."
After listening to Shen Mo's words, Jiang Xi understood Shen's mother's feelings.
Mother Shen's attitude towards my uncle clearly shows that she is dead.
Jiang Xi raised his eyes to look at his uncle who was chatting and laughing with Brother Shen. The smile on his wrinkled face looked more and more fake.
The weapons research institute where Brother Shen works has just made the news. Although Brother Shen's name has not been made public, it is not easy for the various military commands to know the names of the researchers behind this.
The news broadcast reported this two days ago, and within two days, my uncle came to visit us, bringing along relatives who lived thousands of miles away, and mentioned Brother Shen's divorce.
If she guessed correctly, this uncle was obviously unwilling to stay in his current position and wanted to continue to climb up.
The uncle also knew that Mr. Shen's reputation was no longer so useful, and Mr. Shen's father had not returned to the military area since he was released from prison. Neither Mr. Shen nor his father could help. Although Shen Mo was capable, he was in the capital military area.
After much thought, Brother Shen is the only suitable candidate.
After analyzing all this, Jiang Xi found that this uncle was quite smart.
And he's pretty thick-skinned too.
Although it has little to do with money, the value of the saying "A poor man in a busy city has no one to care about him, while a rich man in a remote mountain has distant relatives" is still increasing.
If it weren't for the success of Brother Shen's weapons research institute, my uncle and his family would never come to visit us now.
Shen Ziming was a little surprised when he learned that his uncle came to introduce him to someone.
At this moment, Xu Jin's loud voice suddenly came from outside, "Master Shen, I'm here to pay my respects to you!"
