Chapter 29 Not a Good Candidate for Marriage
Mr. He has been waiting at home for a long time.
Seeing him coming back, some people couldn't sit still and asked indirectly: "Did you meet anyone when you went to the state-owned restaurant?"
He Xu: "I saw Chen Tang."
Mr. He: "Oh...what else?"
"And the man you mentioned who is engaged to the Shen family is average looking and a soldier. He is not a good candidate for marriage."
Mr. He: “…”
Did he ask so many questions?
He Xu answered expressionlessly and placed the dishes and chopsticks in front of the old man.
The old man took a sip of tea and couldn't help but continue asking: "Have you seen the girl your cousin arranged?"
He Xu stood up and was about to go out.
Mr. He was anxious: "Where are you going?"
"Return to the courtyard."
Mr. He's eyes widened. "You didn't listen to what I said the other day, did you? That girl is pretty, has a good personality, and is tolerant. Is there anything wrong with you getting married and having children earlier?"
He Xu stood at the door, looking calm: "I have been in the army for nine years, and all the achievements I have made, big and small, were earned at the cost of my life.
Even without you, grandpa, I can still climb up, the only difference is just a little slower or faster.
You said that Chen Tang is weak in character and cannot be the mistress of the He family.
Well, while you still have energy, train new people."
He climbed to the position of battalion commander without any obstacles in his promotion. This was indeed due to the old man's care, but his achievements were also earned through hard work.
Otherwise, the old man would never choose to allocate resources to him.
Mr. He watched him walk out and was so angry that he even threw the dishes and chopsticks.
"This rebellious son! Bah, rebellious grandson!"
He Xu had just turned a corner on his bike when a man suddenly jumped out from the alley and grabbed his bike.
The woman had a gray scarf wrapped around her face, wore gray clothes, had disheveled hair, and looked extremely disheveled.
If Chen Tang were here, he would definitely recognize at first sight that this was the brightly dressed reporter Li Fen on the train.
Li Fen's eyes were red and tearful, and she pleaded in a low voice: "I have done what you said, but now the Zheng family's anger is all directed at me. I have lost my job, and even my uncle has lost his position as director of the People's Daily. You have to find a way to save me!"
He Xu raised his eyebrows: "If I were you, I would have signed up to go to the countryside long ago. You have offended more than just the Zheng family in the capital. Do you think you can still stay here?"
Li Fen always thought that He Xu asked about her situation because he was interested in her.
Until a few days ago, she was reported and suspended from work. Just when she was trying to use her connections to keep her position, He Xu suddenly found her and asked her to make unauthorized statements about the corruption and bribery of Zheng Lin, the son of the chairman of the Revolutionary Committee.
Such explosive news has been released, and the sales of newspapers have increased several times in an instant.
She thought the director would be very happy, but what happened next landed her in jail.
The Zheng family couldn't deal with He Xu, but it was easy to deal with her.
Her job was ruined, her uncle hated her, and everyone in the family blamed her.
She was almost driven crazy.
If she had known this, she would never have pushed that girl, nor would she have been confident enough to hook up with such a sinister man!
"I don't want to go to the countryside, you arrange a job for me!"
He Xu laughed contemptuously, his voice cold and icy: "Tian Zhen, I didn't chop off your hand, which is already a special favor.
You can choose not to go to the countryside, but I have another option. "
"What choice?"
"Prison."
Li Fen's body trembled and she suddenly let go of his bicycle.
He Xu stepped on the ground with one foot and lit a cigarette: "You should be thankful that the Zheng family has been very busy recently and has no time to come to you. When they are free, you will be the first one to be taken care of."
Li Fen was heartbroken: "So the only way I have is to go to the countryside?"
He Xu looked impatient: "Of course you can also report me, after all, you have already offended the Zheng family, it's nothing to offend me again.
Okay, I have something else to do, don't get in my way."
He was in no mood to talk to this woman right now.
Li Fen did not dare to stop his bicycle. She looked around to see that there was no one around, covered her face with a scarf and ran to the Youth League Office.
Go to the countryside, this man is determined to deal with the Zheng family. As long as she waits until the Zheng family falls, she will definitely be able to come back to the capital.
Lu Yanzhou settled down in the Shen family.
The old man liked him very much. He would take him to the park to practice Tai Chi or climb the Great Wall early in the morning. When they came back, he would not forget to take him to the Forbidden City to appreciate the scenery.
Chen Tang no longer likes to go there after the first time, mainly because walking is too tiring.
While everyone was out of the Shen family, she planned to go to the old man's study.
It has been more than 30 years since the Shen family was framed, and the original body can no longer remember many details.
She only knew that the evidence was found in the study, and she was not sure if it was missed in other places.
Therefore, she has searched every place in the villa these days, big and small, and the only place left is the old man's study room, which he usually doesn't allow anyone to enter.
Shen Tang went to Mr. Shen’s room, stole the key, and opened the study door.
There were a lot of books and materials inside, but she didn't dare to read them.
She thought that since it would be found by the Revolutionary Committee, it must not be hidden very well, so she started by searching the table thoroughly.
There was nothing on the table except some documents.
Just as she was trying to check the bookcase at the back, heavy footsteps were suddenly heard outside.
"What are you doing here?"
Lu Yanzhou, who had returned, stood at the door and asked her.
Chen Tang was startled and quickly left the room and locked the door: "I just want to find a book to read, don't tell my grandfather."
Mr. Shen dotes on her on weekdays, but once his bottom line is touched, he will definitely show no mercy.
Lu Yanzhou's room was next to the study. He looked at the girl who was as scared as a little rabbit, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"I won't tell the old man, but you have to tell me the truth. Why did you sneak into the old man's room?"
Chen Tang still trusts Lu Yanzhou.
This is not because of trust in him as a person, but in this matter, Lu Yanzhou is just a passerby.
He had never been to the Shen family in his previous life.
She thought for a moment and called him to the end of the corridor: "It's like this, you know Liang Jiyu, her father was arrested for embezzling public funds, I accidentally learned that someone was behind this matter, the purpose was to bring down the Shen family.
I went into the old man's study just to see if anyone had secretly slipped in some evidence to frame the Shen family."
Lu Yanzhou knew that the current situation was very unstable, but the little girl's words still made him feel naive.
"Have you ever thought that there are many confidential items in the old man's study. If even you can't enter, who else can enter?"
Chen Tang: “…I just don’t know, so I want to go and see.”
Lu Yanzhou noticed the hesitant expression on the little girl's face.
He smiled and said, "What I mean is, there are only a few of you at home, so there can't be a traitor, but outsiders can't get in. Could it be that he brought it in when the Revolutionary Committee searched on the birthday?
Or maybe someone climbed over the wall and got in when there were many people around.
In short, you definitely can’t find the so-called evidence now, otherwise the Revolutionary Committee would have come long ago.”
Shen Tang felt that what he said made some sense.
Suddenly, she noticed something: "Why are you back again?"
Didn’t he accompany grandpa to visit his comrade’s house?
Lu Yanzhou raised the letter in his hand: "I forgot to take this."
"What's this?"
"Transfer documents." Lu Yanzhou's eyes were filled with tenderness: "I have been transferred to your war zone."
Chen Tang said dryly: "It's quite predestined, then... welcome?"
Lu Yanzhou was touched by her dazed expression.
His eyes flashed, he pursed his lips and nodded: "It's fate, I'm leaving first."
Chen Tang returned to his room, and remembering that the old man's birthday gift had not been prepared yet, he sat up again.
The old man loved antiques, and there were many good things hidden in the basement.
But now the country prohibits the buying and selling of antiques, and only some hidden places will specially supply them to cadres.
But she was a girl with a positive outlook on life and she didn't even know about the black market or places where antiques were sold.
Suddenly, a person popped up in my mind.
