Chapter 224: Turn a deaf ear to the world outside the window and focus on reading the books of sages
"Look at this lieutenant colonel's tweed coat. Can ordinary people have it?"
His tone was very arrogant, "You are the king, so what? We all have to know you."
Just as he was about to speak, another person came out from inside, saying excitedly, "Yuemin, is it really you?!"
I ran up to him and asked, "When did you come back?"
Isn’t that Ning Qun who returned to the city earlier?
The two of them hugged each other tightly and said, "We just arrived today. We haven't even reached our doorstep yet, but these three little brats blocked our way."
The young officer in a tweed coat asked, "Brother Ning, do you know him?"
Ning Qun first gave each of the three a chestnut and taught them a lesson:
"They don't even know Zhong Yuemin, the leader of the tough guys in the city, but this guy from our compound," he said, giving a thumbs-up. "Keep your eyes open from now on, you hear me?"
"He is Zhong Yuemin?"
The three of them nodded in shock, "Brother Zhong!"
"Brother Zhong!"
"I'm sorry for not recognizing a great man. Please forgive me!"
"Okay, okay, go play!"
After the three boys left, Zhong Yuemin asked, "This guy looks unfamiliar. Is he from our hospital?"
"I just moved in, Yuemin. Over the past two years or so, I've seen so many people coming and going. Not to mention you, I'm unfamiliar with many of them. This commotion is endless. When will it end?"
Zhong Yuemin nodded. "How is your family?"
"Ning Wei went to the army, and I'm alone. I go to the factory, the cafeteria, and home. It's pretty good and leisurely."
"Are you going to work now?"
"Ok!"
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Zheng Tong, Jianguo and the others are all back soon. We can all get together then."
"good!"
The two said goodbye and entered the yard. On the way home, many people recognized him.
"The Leap People are back!"
"Yuemin, you've grown taller and become stronger. Not bad, not bad!"
He nodded and smiled in response. This kind of treatment had never been received before and he avoided it as much as possible. People talked about them behind their backs, saying that Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun were all little hooligans and ruffians. How could they greet him so warmly? His attitude changed drastically. It was probably because his father came out and took power.
Arrived at home, shouted as soon as he entered the door,
"Dad, I'm back, Dad..."
"What are you yelling about!"
Zhong Shanyue came out from the kitchen, wearing an apron and holding a spatula. The aroma wafted out of the kitchen.
"Your dad is not deaf, he makes a fuss when he comes back."
He came to his son and looked him up and down.
"Okay, he looks a bit like a farmer. If his face were a little darker and his clothes and pants were a little more worn, it would be more appropriate."
"No, Dad, this is too hurtful," Zhong Yuemin said.
"I, your son, have suffered a lot in northern Shaanxi. I only come back once every two years, but you don't say a word of comfort. Instead, you feel that the hardship is not enough. How can you be such a father?"
"Stinky boy, who are you following?"
The spatula in his hand is about to hit someone.
"I think it's good. I can control my temper and temper my character, but it's not enough. I need more training. I think back to when I was in northern Shaanxi..."
Well, his father started telling him about the glorious past.
"Dad, what's cooking in the kitchen? It looks burnt!"
"My meat!" He turned around and hurried into the kitchen.
Half an hour later, the father and son sat around the table to eat breakfast. A plate of burnt braised pork was particularly eye-catching.
Zhong Yuemin asked, "Dad, what position do you hold now? It should be of a high rank, right?"
"How did you know I got the job?" I hadn't told him before, I just said it out loud and stayed at home.
"As soon as I entered the compound, the neighbors greeted me with such enthusiasm that I felt embarrassed. Doesn't this speak volumes?"
Zhong Shanyue smiled,
"Okay, he's a commune director there. He's quite perceptive. He got the position two days ago. He's a director of the military headquarters in the capital."
"Which department? Director, what exactly do you manage?"
"Don't worry about it, it's confidential."
Zhong Yuemin touched his nose, somewhat speechless, "I am your biological son, why is this still a secret?"
"Dad, is that still the same level as before?"
Zhong Shanyue took a bite of food and said, "I've leveled up!"
He understood and didn't ask any more questions.
"Yuemin, how did you get to know Commander Zhou?"
"Which Commander Zhou?"
"Zhou Zhennan!"
"Dad, why did you suddenly mention Uncle Zhou? Do you two know each other?"
"Uncle Zhou? He's quite close. Commander Zhou helped me get this director position this time. He worked hard behind the scenes. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been my turn. I thought about it. We had no family connections in the past. He only told me that I had a good son. Tell me, what's going on?"
"Nothing much, I just managed to seduce Uncle Zhou's daughter!"
"Cough cough cough..." Zhong Shanyue was taking a sip of wine when he choked.
"Dad, are you okay?" He stood up and patted his back.
"Okay, sit down!" Zhong Shanyue said:
"Don't talk nonsense, kid. If Commander Zhou hears, I'll break your legs. What's going on?"
"Dad, I'm dating Uncle Zhou's daughter. Her family should agree by now. That's it. Xiaobai and I have been dating for over two years. I was still in Beijing at the time. It's true."
"You are such a slacker, you don't behave properly all day long. How can a girl like you?"
"Dad, your son isn't that bad, is he? It doesn't matter if he's unruly. He's handsome, and that's not something I inherited from you and my mom, right?"
Zhong Shanyue was annoyed, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Really? Xiaobai will be back this year too, in a couple of days. I'll bring her here to show you my future daughter-in-law. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Zhong Yuemin then said:
"Dad, I have something to remind you. Even though you're out now, the situation outside is still chaotic, with people fighting for everything. I think the wisest choice right now is to remain neutral and not interfere with each other. Let those people do whatever they want. Let's just be a bystander, turning a deaf ear to what's happening outside and focusing on reading the books of sages. What do you think?"
"Okay, you don't need to tell me this. I, your father, have been in there for so many years and have figured it out long ago. Now I just want to take charge, but do I have the ability or skill to do so? Protect yourself now, hold on to some power, and don't be exploited by certain people and fall into their hands. Perhaps this is the greatest victory. Let's not talk about this anymore."
Zhong Shanyue asked, "Is your Uncle Ma doing well in northern Shaanxi?"
"I'm doing fine, in good health, and now I'm the deputy director of the county revolutionary committee. Uncle Ma wanted to come over to visit you, but since you just got out and the situation in the capital is unclear, he didn't come with you this time."
“There will be a chance later!”
Zhong Shanyue nodded.
"I thought I'd never see your Uncle Ma again in this life, but I actually ran into him when you went to join the production team in northern Shaanxi. It's God's will, it's God's will, Yuemin, let's have a drink together!"
The father and son drank a glass of Beijing Erguotou, which made their throats burn.
The next day, Qin Ling and Li Yan came to the house, calling him Uncle Zhong all the time. His father smiled and pulled him aside.
"Which one is your partner?"
