"I really owe my eldest brother a lot. I'll talk to him when I get home. If he still wants to go to school, then he can continue. Now that I'm back, he won't have to work so hard."
When he came back this time, Zhang Xiangnan felt that his son had changed a lot.
In the past, when he went home to visit his family, his eldest son loved to be close to him and followed him wherever he went.
When he came back today, Zhang Xiangnan clearly felt that there was a distance between father and son, and his son's attitude towards him was somewhat cold.
Maybe it was the pressure of life that forced him to mature!
Zhang Xiangnan felt proud and gratified, but also a little lost.
"I think so too. Xiaoguang has been smart since he was young. It would be a pity if he didn't study.
By the way, didn’t you say you wanted to build a house? Go find Brother Xiangyang and ask for a larger plot of land, big enough for three courtyards.”
Su Hong remembered that before dinner, Zhang Xiangnan said he wanted to build a house for his son.
"Three courtyards, wife, are you planning to have a third child? I will definitely cooperate."
Zhang Xiangnan thought Su Hong was hinting at him. For a man who had tasted meat for more than three years, his heart instantly became hot.
"Bah! What are you thinking about? Do you still remember to keep the business?"
Su Hong spat lightly at Zhang Xiangnan, her pretty face flushed.
"Shouye? You mean the young master of the Song family? He's been missing for ten years. Why do you think of him again?"
Speaking of the last trace of the Song family's bloodline, Zhang Xiangnan couldn't help but sigh.
The Song family has always supported the organization. The reason why Zhang Xiangnan joined the army to fight was because he was influenced by the Song family.
"Xiao Guang found him. Shouye actually never left. He is in the Laojun Temple in Funiu Mountain. He just stays away from the world.
He and Xiaoguang also hunted two blind bears together. Our family couldn't finish eating them, so Xiaoguang took one to the machinery factory to hand in the task, and he actually got three thousand yuan in return.
Blind Xiong was beating the dog to keep his business going, and he didn't want the money he got. His parents wanted to keep it for him to marry.
You just happened to mention building a house. Now that we have no other relatives to run the business, we might as well build our house together with Xiaoguang's."
"Okay, let's do it this way. Xiaoguang and I will go to Laojun Temple to see him tomorrow.
The Song family made indelible contributions to the great revolutionary cause and ultimately sacrificed their precious lives.
Besides, my father used to work for the Song family, and the Song family took good care of our family.
Now that the Song family is left with only themselves to run the business, we should take care of them."
Arriving at the village entrance, Zhang Xiangnan slowed down the car, helped Su Hong roll down the window, asked him to say hello to the elders in the village, and then continued to drive towards Zhuangzhuang.
"Some time ago, I saw Xiaohong's child riding a tricycle and thought he was quite capable. I didn't expect Xiaohong's man to be even more capable and drive a car."
"My sister's family is from Zhangzhuang, and now Zhang Xiangnan's affairs have spread throughout Zhangzhuang.
She wasn't a traitor at all, she was on a secret mission, and now she's made a great contribution. It's said she'll be promoted, so Xiaohong will really become an official's wife in the future."
"This is what it means when good people are rewarded!"
"Yes! Xiaohong has endured hardship in Zhangzhuang for several years, and now this blessing has come."
…
Not to mention Zhangzhuang, even in the entire Liulin Commune, the topic of discussion these days will revolve around Zhang Xiang's family.
After bearing the stigma of a traitor for three years, he suddenly became a national hero and will become a senior military officer in the future. There is no more explosive news than this.
When passing by the school, Zhang Shengli got off the tricycle, went to the jeep, said hello to his mother and sister, and then ran into the campus with his schoolbag on his back.
After sending Zhang Shengli off, the family quickly arrived at the entrance of Zhangzhuang Village. From a distance, they saw a lot of old and young women and children gathered under the big locust tree.
It was impossible to tell what was happening from a distance until they got closer. The roar of the jeep attracted everyone's attention, and a figure emerged from the crowd.
"Commander, you're back. Hello, sister-in-law. You're finally back."
This figure was none other than Zhang Xiangnan's bodyguard Li Lixin.
"What's going on with you?"
Zhang Xiangnan rolled down the car window and asked in confusion.
"Captain, after waking up, I filled the water tank at home and cleaned the yard. I thought I'd go out for a walk, and when I got to the village entrance, I was surrounded by everyone.
Battalion Commander, the villagers are so enthusiastic and they kept talking to me.
But don't worry, Captain, I know what I can and cannot say."
There was a hint of excitement on Li Lixin's face. He had never received so much attention in his life.
"Okay, since you're so interested, let's continue chatting. Just don't forget to come home for dinner tonight."
Zhang Xiangnan threw him a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. Before anyone else could come over, Zhang Xiangnan rolled up the car window and drove away.
My family has suffered so much, and if I say that I have no grudges in my heart, I am simply deceiving myself.
Zhang Xiangnan is just a soldier, not a saint. Although he will not vent his anger on the villagers, it seems unlikely that he will be as easy to talk to as before.
In the past, Zhang Xiangnan was a very kind person. No matter how close the relationship was, as long as someone asked him for help, Zhang Xiangnan would provide some help.
This is also the reason why he has such a high allowance but no savings at home, and it is also the reason why he decided to hide it from everyone and go undercover in northern Myanmar.
He thought that with his popularity, his family would not be troubled or excluded in the village.
But he still underestimated the people of that era, their hatred for traitors, and failed to see through the bad nature of most people to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
