Chapter 20: Did you dig a hole?



"The parents have been notified."

Chen Lie had great respect for the old man who had walked out of the hail of bullets. He nodded slightly and said to him, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be back early tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow?" The old man paused, feeling quite emotional. "I'm afraid you won't tell them until today..."

For people like them, it is difficult to have both family and country, there is nothing that can be done about it.

Chen Lie responded, "Yeah."

Sensing that the old man was in a low mood and seemed to be lost in some memories, he added a few more words, "I didn't tell them beforehand that I was coming back this time. When I got home, they were already on their way to the nursing home."

"Liangzi should have told you what happened next." First, they divorced, then visited the teacher, and then he and Su Qinghu got their marriage certificate.

You can only get the certificate quickly if you go directly to the person who handles the last approval procedure.

I didn't specifically notify my parents, and I asked the person in charge not to disturb their recuperation for the time being, so naturally they didn't know about it.

After he got the certificate, an emergency occurred and he was urgently called away before he even left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

When I come back again, it will be today.

Recuperation at this time?

Mr. Zhang briefly recalled the timeline and nodded, "This time, famous doctors have gathered here for recuperation. I think several elderly masters of traditional Chinese medicine have also been specially invited..."

This is a rare opportunity, and you should not miss it if you can. The elderly traditional Chinese medicine masters are national treasures, and rushing here from other provinces is tiring and risky.

It is possible to encounter it this year, but it will become increasingly difficult next year and the year after, and even later, and the degree of difficulty will almost increase at twice the speed.

On this matter, the two are in agreement.

The two of them started chatting in front of Zhang Dongsheng and Zhao Liangyan as if no one else was around.

Chen Lie respected the old man, and the old man was optimistic about Chen Lie. For a moment, their relationship was as warm as that of a father and son, which made Zhang Dongsheng feel jealous.

Even Zhao Liangyan felt inexplicably weird. Wasn't the old man aggressively trying to take his own son Zhang Dongsheng home today?

What is the situation now?

The old man is not in a hurry, but Shengzi runs away without even taking the opportunity?

If he hadn't been sure it was night time and there wasn't much sunlight, he would have thought the sun was rising from the west...

"No matter what, since you've got the marriage certificate, you should treat her well. If both parties should meet their parents, then meet their parents. If there should be a wedding banquet, then hold a good one." Mr. Zhang earnestly instructed, "Give the woman all the respect she deserves."

But he is a college student.

"She graduated from university less than a month ago." Chen Lie paused. "She married me too suddenly. I didn't do a lot of things well afterwards. I will make up for them one by one in the future."

He enunciates words clearly, and no one can fail to understand what he says.

Mr. Zhang couldn't help but look at his son Zhang Dongsheng. He really wanted to know how sudden "too sudden" meant.

"Why are you looking at me?" Zhang Dongsheng was annoyed by his father's gaze. He raised his chin slightly, feeling both proud and guilty. "I just took advantage of him with my mouth. I didn't commit any crime."

At most, it was a violation of public security regulations, and he would be released after staying in there for three to five days.

"Taking advantage with your mouth?" Old Master Zhang chewed this sentence twice indifferently, and when he combined it with what Zhao Liangyan said before about not having time to commit a crime, he clenched his fists.

This is on the verge of being illegal, just a little bit away from being illegal...

"You didn't do anything else except talking cheaply?"

"..." Zhang Dongsheng looked at his father, "I did it, but I'm afraid that telling you about it might make you angry and affect your health."

The old man was silent.

Zhang Dongsheng paused for a long moment before speaking in self-deprecation, "You really want to know, right? It's not that I can't tell you, but if you get angry later, or if you feel a pain in your chest or head, I won't care!"

Old man: "Speak!"

"I asked someone to push back the time she was assigned to work." Zhang Dongsheng said, and looked at the display provocatively.

What's the matter? He did it, what can he do to him?

As soon as he said this, the old man wished he had a stick as thick as his arm so he could hit him with it! It would make his brain move and wake him up.

"Did you know that in 1985 the country said it would reform the job placement system for college graduates?" The old man was so angry that he yelled at him.

Zhang Dongsheng: "What does this have to do with me?"

He is a member of society, why should he know these things?

"What's it got to do with you? It's none of your business! But how does it concern others? The country says it's gradually reforming, but this year they're accelerating the pace! For college students, getting a job is the most important thing in life. You're threatening them with this. Aren't you asking for their lives?"

What if there is a delay?

Nowadays, when students go to university, their household registration is moved out of their home. If they don't have a job after graduation, or don't take the job they're assigned to, they're considered "blind migrants."

"...I didn't think that much at the time." Zhang Dongsheng could be confident in front of Chen Lie, but when it came to Su Qinghu, his arrogance sank to the bottom unconsciously. "Besides, she's a college student who was able to get in from a small town. Her character can't be too weak..."

Chen Lie, the old man, and even Zhao Liangyan were all looking at him, which made Zhang Dongsheng stutter for a moment, and his voice became lower and lower when he spoke again.

Zhao Liangyan pondered silently: "...This is all just imaginary? Why does the fact that someone came from a small town and passed the exam mean they have a strong and resilient character?"

Can't she be pampered by her family?

The old man was silent for a long time because of his son's words.

When he spoke again, he had obviously made up his mind. "Don't say anything. Today, I will send you to the police station and see how they sentence you for violating public security regulations..."

Zhang Dongsheng: ...Did Chen Lie secretly set a trap for his biological father when he was talking to him just now?

He looked at Chen Lie and Chen Lie looked back at him.

Zhang Dongsheng looked at him speechlessly and said, "Don't act like he's so innocent!"

None of them are good!

This wasn't a figment of my imagination, but an inference! Zhang Dongsheng could confidently guarantee that anyone who could battle him openly and covertly for years and still maintain the upper hand was definitely not a serious person!

He stared at Chen Lie, thinking over and over again, and felt that this guy had done something bad when he was not paying attention to what was happening with the old man!

"Whatever happens, it's what it is. Fines and detention, take it all!" Old Master Zhang's voice was filled with anger. "Wait until you've spent the required number of days in the police station and paid the fine, then join me in apologizing to them."

Zhang Dongsheng looked at Chen Lie and said slyly, "Okay, Su Qinghu is avoiding me, so it's just right that you take me there."

Isn't it just a few days at the police station? He has to take responsibility for his own mistakes.
