"You're just bragging! By the way, Lao Shen, if I remember correctly, you were sent down to the Northeast back then."
"Isn't that right? It was near Old Wang's old post. You can ask Old Wang if you don't believe me."
"Isn't that right? The only problem is that the circumstances were special at the time, and I couldn't have a few drinks with you, buddy."
"Hey, wasn't the situation special back then? If we wanted to drink, we'd have plenty of opportunities now, wouldn't we?"
"That's right, how about we find a place to have a few drinks later?"
"Sure! No problem!"
"Old Shen, at your age, do your children still allow you to drink?"
"Don't you ever secretly drink alcohol? If you say you've never secretly drunk alcohol, I absolutely won't believe you."
"So you were drinking it secretly? Looks like you've done this kind of thing quite a few times, Shen Bowen. I never thought you'd have someone you're afraid of!"
"Aren't you afraid? How dare you talk to me like that? Humph!"
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
What are they laughing about up there?
"Mom, you're back!"
"Hmm! What's wrong with them? Why are they laughing so happily?"
"have no idea?"
"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood. Or did something happen that made you so angry?"
"Don't even mention it, it makes me so angry! Mom, do you think someone is targeting my older brother or our Shen family?"
"What? What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"Okay, here's the thing..."
"Alright, let's not talk about our children anymore. Aren't they just doing this for our health? Otherwise, we would have gone to meet with our brothers long ago."
"Isn't that right?"
"But not being able to drink alcohol is really frustrating!"
"Isn't that right? You have no idea, just to get a drink, I have to live like a secret agent, hiding here and there every day!"
"That's right, I feel the same way."
"Dude, you'd better shut up! Why do I keep seeing your daughter looking this way? Do you think she heard you secretly drinking earlier?"
"You can't tell on me, you hear? Or we'll break off all ties!"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"Old Shen, let's not drink alcohol next time, let's drink tea together!"
“Great idea! Old Wang’s suggestion is excellent. We happen to have some good tea at home. Let’s have tea together when we get back to Beijing.”
"Sure! No problem!"
"Old Shen, are you only inviting Old Wang? Isn't that a bit unfair?"
"Get out of here, you have business everywhere!"
"Why is it my business? Do you mean there's something else going on among you?"
"Brother? You probably don't know this! Shen Bowen's third son was assigned to Old Wang's unit after graduating from military academy. What do you think their relationship is?"
"So that's what happened? But this shouldn't be the case. We're all comrades-in-arms. You can't let this sideline us."
"Exactly, is there something else going on among you that we don't know? Why don't you hurry up and tell everyone so they can know too!"
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. It's just that I have a granddaughter who doesn't have a boyfriend yet, and I know that the Shen family has no shortage of grandsons, so I wanted to go and see her! If she's suitable, it wouldn't be bad to play matchmaker."
"Oh, is that what it is? But Lao Wang, you can't just focus on Lao Shen's unmarried grandsons, can you? We also have unmarried children in our family."
"Yes, we have one at home too."
"Isn't this something we have to do one by one? By then, the children have to find someone they like."
I was just taking a look beforehand; besides, I don't have the final say on this!
"Yeah, I'm really worried about my kids right now. You know, none of them are in a hurry to get married. What are we going to do?"
"It's not just you who's worried, I'm worried too! We still haven't had a great-grandchild yet!"
"That's true. There aren't many people here who have great-grandchildren, but Old Shen is quite something! I heard he already has two great-grandchildren and a great-granddaughter."
"This? It's nothing, nothing at all!"
"You should be secretly happy!"
"Mom, what are your thoughts on this? Isn't there anything we can do?"
"You're still too young. We can handle this without you even needing to get involved!"
"How is this possible? We don't even know who the other party is. Who would be so kind as to help us?"
"It's not about helping, it's about settling accounts. See those old leaders up ahead? Aren't they here?"
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"That's right. It doesn't matter who the other party is. What matters is that as long as even one of them steps forward, the higher-ups will naturally resolve the issue!"
"But?"
"There are no buts. This matter ends here. Even if we know who the other party is, it is not the Shen family that can take action."
You should know that there's more than one person who's going to settle scores with the higher-ups. These old guys have seen it all, experienced all sorts of conspiracies and tricks. With them around, we don't need to worry too much.
Let's just wait and see!
"Will Grandpa also go to see the people in higher positions?"
"Of course, regardless of whether others will go first, your grandfather will definitely go. You know, this concerns the future of the Shen family. Your grandfather won't do something and then ignore it, understand?"
"If we know, then we really don't need to know who the other person is?"
"Why do we need to know? You should know that our Shen family has people in the army. Not to mention you younger generation, even your father's generation is here, right? With them around, even if the other party is hiding in a corner, they will still know."
As for what to do then, it's not something we can decide now. If you ask me, we might as well just keep an eye on him and see what his true purpose is.
Using this measurement to frighten others is hardly the act of a gentleman.
"That's all we can do."
“Let’s go back! Being able to return to this place in our lifetime to pay respects to these brothers fulfills our bond. I’m afraid we won’t have such a good opportunity again.”
"Isn't that right? Let's go back!"
"Big brother, why are you back? Don't you need to take care of Grandpa and Grandma?"
"Take care of me? What do you mean by taking care of me? There's no need for me to be of any use at this time."
"What's wrong, brother?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect that these old leaders are not only old, but also have big tempers. Luckily, your brother dodged quickly, otherwise I would have been scolded along with them."
"You mean they're all calling their superiors to question what happened today?"
"Mom, you found out too?"
"How could someone so big not know? What's your opinion on this?"
"It's nothing serious, no need to worry about it. It's already been almost resolved without even the Shen family having to get involved."
