At the same time, a jeep stopped at the door of the residence. Gong Wantang was standing by the window in the house. Seeing that it was Mr. Han who pushed open the door and came out, she immediately opened the door and went out.
"uncle."
Hearing this long-lost voice, Old Han was excited. Seeing that the face of his once beautiful and graceful niece from a noble family had been etched with traces of time, and her clear eyes and brows were stained with vicissitudes, his heart ached: "Wantang."
"Uncle, long time no see." Gong Wantang walked up to him, bowed and saluted him respectfully.
"Good boy, get up quickly."
Old Han helped her up, patted her shoulder gently, and said with deep emotion: "It's good that you came back alive. Your uncle will protect you from now on."
Gong Wantang was an emotional person. Tears immediately burst out of her eyes, and her throat choked with sobs. "Uncle, you've put a lot of energy into the Gong family's affairs over the years. Thank you for your hard work."
"You're saying this to me? We haven't seen each other for twenty years. Are you alienated from me?" Old Han pretended to be displeased.
Gong Wantang wiped away her tears and apologized with a choked sob: "Uncle, I'm sorry. I won't say it again."
"That's right."
Old Han looked at her with a kind and distressed look. His gaze now shifted to Gong Linglong and he smiled, "Old Fourth said your daughter looks a lot like you. She does look about 70% similar."
Gong Linglong smiled faintly and introduced herself gracefully: "Hello, Grandpa Han, my name is Gong Linglong, Ling means smart and lively, and Long means small and exquisite."
Old Han looked her up and down, his wise eyes, full of experience, were smiling, and his voice was also smiling. "Well, Grandpa has seen the praise for you in the People's Daily. The article is well written. You are indeed the most beautiful military wife. You are beautiful, and you went to disaster relief even when you were pregnant. You are not squeamish, and you are not afraid of hardship or danger. You rushed to the front line of rescue. You performed very well and are a role model for young people today."
"Grandpa Han, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary one among countless volunteers. Compared with the dedication of countless military officers and volunteers, what I have done is insignificant. They are the most beautiful, lovely and most worthy of admiration and respect." Gong Linglong said modestly.
Seeing her well-spoken, polite and humble manner, Grandpa Han nodded with satisfaction: "You are worthy of being a member of the Gong family. Your grandfather and his family will be very proud of you when they see you in heaven."
"I will continue to work hard and will not bring disgrace to the Gong family's reputation."
Gong Linglong just had a detailed chat with her mother about the Gong family. The Gong family has been passed down for hundreds of years. Generations of ancestors have always attached great importance to family education, and the family has a profound cultural heritage.
During the feudal dynasty, there were many top scholars, and most of their descendants became officials in the court. The same is true in modern times. Most of the Gong family members are highly educated and cultured people. If they had not encountered unexpected misfortunes, the uncles would definitely have chosen to go into politics.
"Okay, okay, Wan Tang has educated the child very well."
Mr. Han praised the mother and daughter and said, "Okay, let's get in the car and talk in the car."
Gong Wantang smiled faintly and stepped forward to help him into the car. "Uncle, please go slowly."
After the elders were seated, the mother and daughter opened the door and got into the car and sat in the back seat.
The car drove into the red-walled courtyard. After getting off the car, Mr. Han led them to the office building area with the strictest security.
As soon as he arrived, a secretary came forward and said, "Mr. Han, we just received some special and important documents. Several leaders are gathered in the office to deal with them. Mr. D needs your help. We can discuss the prescription a little later."
Gong Wantang guessed that it was her mother-in-law who brought the things up, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, please go ahead and do your work. Linglong and I will wait outside."
"good."
Mr. Han nodded and said to his secretary, "Xiao Liu, take the mother and daughter to the library."
"Okay, both of you please."
The mother and daughter followed Xiao Liu to the library, and Mr. Han went to the office on the second floor by himself.
The important leaders were all here at this time. There were many documents on the desk. Zhou Lanqin stayed here to help organize them. When she saw him coming, she immediately stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Han."
"Lanqin, you are here too."
Old Han sat down on the empty chair next to her and said to her, "I just brought Wan Tang and Ling Long here. I'll let them go to the library first."
"Huh? Mr. Han, do you know my mother-in-law?" Zhou Lanqin was slightly surprised.
"My niece."
Old Han introduced them, picked up a file, and said, "My beautiful niece was kidnapped by your big-headed son. You must protect and pamper her. If she is wronged, I will tear the roof off Old Zhou's head."
The people sitting here were all smart people, and they all understood what he meant. Elder D looked up and asked, "Whose child is the female comrade who provided the prescription?"
"The Gong family." Old Han sighed.
"Which Gong family?"
There was an old leader who knew nothing about the Gong family and had never heard that the Han family had a relative with the surname Gong.
Elder D didn't answer him for the time being, but instead asked Elder Han, "Didn't the entire Gong family die in the fire? Is anyone still alive?"
"Wantang is still alive. She has had a very difficult time these years. We'll talk about it later."
On the way here, Han Laogang asked about what happened that year, but Gong Wantang only told him that it was not an accident, but was caused by human factors. She was unwilling to say anything else and planned to talk to her in detail later.
While the old leaders were busy in the office, the mother and daughter of the Gong family each chose a book of interest in the library and sat in the corner by the window to read quietly.
"Why are you here?"
A familiar voice sounded nearby. Gong Linglong turned her head to look at the other person and saw that it was the leader of the Revolutionary Committee who was scolded and driven away by Uncle Han for causing trouble in the disaster area.
She remembered that the other person's surname seemed to be Zheng. Seeing that she was looking at them with a sullen face, she replied coldly: "This is not your home. I don't think we need to report anything to you."
After Zheng Huiyun returned from the disaster area, she was criticized by many leaders and her job position was demoted. She has been having a very unhappy time these days.
Later, when she saw the articles and photos published in the newspaper, she was even more angry. Now seeing the mother and daughter here, she was basically certain that they were not ordinary people, nor were they the ordinary military wives published in the newspaper.
"Whose family are you from?" Zheng Huiyun had a hunch that they had some background.
Gong Linglong asked calmly, "Are you from the Public Security Bureau? Are you here to investigate our household registration?"
"How do you talk like that? Didn't your elders teach you manners?" Zheng Huiyun frowned and unconsciously put on the airs of an elder.
Gong Linglong hated people like her who put on airs. She stood up and said, "You must be a leader of a certain unit. You should know better than me which is more important, responsibilities, rights, or courtesy. If you are not a leader of the Public Security Bureau and you are not here to interrogate us, why should I answer your questions?"
