Chapter 53 Distant Visitors
At this point, Niu Ben somewhat understands the old man.
Even if he has a good relationship to visit him, even if he is poor, he must think of a way to treat his friends well. This is not just a matter of face. Niu Ben feels that it should be more hostship. After all, people come to visit you anyway, and there has been no reason to invite guests to dinner since ancient times, so Niu Ben fully supports the old man at this point.
The two sat in the lounge area in the hall for a while. Niu Ben saw that although the old man was dressed neatly, he was also old clothes that had been washed many times. So he decided to use the money he earned these days to buy clothes for the old man and two pieces for his parents. I went back once during the Spring Festival last year. Because the salary was too small, Niu Ben barely brought 500 yuan as a gift to his family. Now he has a little money, so he naturally wants to make up for it.
The old man probably guessed that after Niu Ben was promoted, he was more generous than before. So when he heard that Niu Ben was going to buy clothes for him, he was stunned and readily agreed.
Then the two left the hotel and walked around the street next to them for a while. Niu Ben spent a total of about 5,000 yuan to buy a Zhongshan suit for the old man and a decent suit for his father and mother. Although three sets of clothes cost 5,000 yuan, this may only be ordinary in the city. But for rural people who usually buy clothes within 200 yuan, this is definitely enough.
After buying clothes and getting rid of his hair, the old man's whole mental face suddenly changed a lot.
The old man is already tall and burly. With a height of 1.86 meters and a weight of 85 kilograms, there is no fat on the body because of long-term work, so you look solemn when you wear Zhongshan clothes. Looking in the mirror, the old man was obviously very satisfied with his current image. He praised twice and said that after wearing Zhongshan clothes in the future, the two felt that it was almost time to return to the hotel.
Li Xiaoan obviously has arrived. Seeing the two grandfather and grandchildren coming back, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Ah, Grandpa Niu is more than 20 years younger than this dress. If there is someone you don't know, I'm afraid he will think that a big man has come!"
Niu Ben smiled and said, "That's right, I chose it for the old man!"
"It's still at some level!" Li Xiaoyan nodded and then said to the old man, "Grandpa Niu, let's go. It's already 9:30. If you go to the airport, you have to hurry up to arrive early!"
"If you don't go to the airport, you will go to the railway station." The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The three of them came out of the hotel. When they saw Li Xiaoan's car, Niu Ben couldn't stop admiring: "The Maybach of the 07 model is so awesome. Tut, this body, this style, is all the best!"
After a pause, he asked strangely, "Your father is a 600-hundren. Has he changed his car?"
"No, this is my father's friend's car!" Li Xiaoan smiled and said, "When I went to borrow a car from my father just now, he was drinking tea with a friend. As soon as I said the matter, Uncle Song asked me to go to his driver to get the key and drive his car out to play for a few days!"
"Nang Xipi, rich man!" The cow ran up and touched the body. The careful and intoxicated energy was as if he had found a god-level beauty: "I dreamed of driving such a top luxury car. 07 Maybach, I think it is said on the Internet that although the price has been reduced a little, the price of a bicycle will also cost exactly 9 million. Do it well together. I'm afraid it will take almost tens of millions to finish it?!"
"A thousand miles!" Li Xiaoan smiled and said, "Ok, don't talk about it. If you want to be addicted, you can open it yourself!"
After saying that, she threw the key directly to Niu Ben. However, after taking the key, Niu Ben trembled all over his body, and then said with a sad face, "Once, there was a top car in front of me, but I... but I didn't learn to drive!!!"
Li Xiaolan gave him a helpless look and said, "Well, you sit with Grandpa Niu and I'll drive!"
After taking the car key, Li Xiaoan skillfully started the car, and then slowly left with Niu Ben and the old man under the envy of many people. After about 40 minutes, Niu Ben was still surprised by the top luxury in the car. When he looked here and there, the car had already reached Binhai Railway Station. When Niu Ben asked when the person he wanted to pick up would arrive and whether he needed to contact him to confirm, the old man waved his head repeatedly and said, "Let's get out of the station and let the boy find me by himself."
Such a way to pick up people makes Niu Ben and Li Xiaoluan smile speechlessly, and they can only follow the old man's wishes.
After the three waited for about half an hour in boredom, a group of people poured into the exit. Although this wave of people makes it impossible to see the people they are looking for quickly, there is still a group of people who still attract the attention of Niu Ben as soon as they appear.
There are five people in this group, and in the middle is a gray-haired and old-looking old man. There is a beautiful girl in professional clothes beside him to help him. The other three have a dignified middle-aged man, and the other two look very young. Judging from their posture and their vigilance from time to time, they are almost certainly bodyguards.
When this group of people appeared, Niu Ben looked at the old man curiously and found that the old man was grinning and smiling.
After a while, the group of people walked out of the station safely. Standing on the spot and looking around, they soon found the three people. After seeing the old man, he immediately became excited. He even pushed away the girl who helped him and straightened his clothes. Then he straightened up as much as possible and strode towards the old man. It was not until he approached the old man about a meter before he stopped and solemnly saluted: "Comrade platoon leader, Hu Bing reports to you!"
The old man returned a salute and said, "Take a break!"
After the old man carried out the order, the old man smiled and said, "Little soldier, I haven't seen you look older than me for many years. Did you leave your daily training after leaving the army and go to work as a political worker?"
The old man suddenly looked ashamed when he heard the words, but he soon returned to normal and said to the old man, "P row leader, you still look so strong!"
"That's, why am I your platoon leader at the beginning!" The old man smiled and then said, "Oki, it's not a place for people to talk here. Let's find a place to talk!"
Hu Lao stood up and answered loudly, "Yes!"
So, a group of people surrounded the two old men and walked aside. However, after arriving at the parking place, Niu Ben found a big problem, that is, there is only one car, but there are eight people going there. Even if the space in Maybach is very wide, it is too crowded to sit down. In addition, there were two old men, so after Hu Lao directly asked the location, he asked Niu Ben to take a taxi with the three men beside him.
After getting into the car, everyone got to know each other. Niu Ben learned that the middle-aged man was called Hu Qianqiu, the other two were called Zhang Long, and the other was wonderfully called Zhao Hu. It is estimated that if there are two more people, the dynasty Mahan will live together.
Knowing that Niu Ben is the grandson of the old man, Hu Qianqiu seemed very enthusiastic and even claimed that we could be closer in the future. Niu Ben naturally nodded and asked about the past of the two elders with great interest. It's a pity for him not to know Grandpa's past experience. Now that it is not easy to have such an opportunity to ask from others, how can he easily let it go?
His inquiry immediately surprised Hu Qianqiu: "Didn't Uncle Niu tell you about the past?"
"There is no." Niu Ben shook his head frankly and said, "When others have children and grandchildren, they always talk about their past and deeds from time to time, but when I remember, the old man never tells me about his youth."
"This old man is really." Hu Qianqiu waved his head and said, "I guess Uncle Niu is still guarding the regulations of the original army. Ha ha, in fact, in this era, there is nothing to say about in the era of the Anti-Japanese War. Moreover, heroes like Uncle Niu can completely have a very positive impact on future generations, which can not only be said, but also if Uncle Niu agrees, our big book can also be a special book!"
Then, in Niu Ben's questioning, Hu Qianqiu began to talk about the old man's past.
It was the second year of the full outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. In the early stage of the war in Wuhan, there were people with aspiring aspirations and established a special anti-Japanese guerrilla. In this guerrilla, everyone is a strange man with kung fu. This team went deep behind the enemy many times and did a lot of things to blow up warehouses and destroy the enemy's quarters before the regular army attacked the enemy. It laid a good foundation for the victory of the regular army.
Even after the battle in Wuhan, the old man ambushed alone and killed the Japanese leader who was later posthumously awarded the title of major general by the Japanese army!
A teenager who was only 17 years old did such a big thing, and both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were extremely shocked when they heard it. What's more bizarre is that they found that the teenager was actually the leader of the team, so they extended olive branches to the anti-Japanese team. Finally, after the team chose the Communist Party, a political commissar came from the party and designated it as a platoon combat unit according to the number of people in the team. The old man was the platoon leader at that time.
Later, when he moved to Nanchang, Mr. Hu was looked at by the old man and joined the team at a young age.
This is also the fundamental reason why Mr. Hu would call the old man the platoon leader. However, only three years after Hu joined this team, he was recommended by the old man for being smart and easy to learn. From then on, he left the team and became a political cadre as an adult. However, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Niu took off his armor and returned to the field, and from then on, he did not know where to go. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Hu had always wanted to find the old man, but there was no result for a long time.
Until last year's national census, when Niu Ben heard that the elderly in the village had subsidies, he began to give the idea of giving the old man a household registration. After all this, Mr. Niu's name also appeared in the archives of the Public Security Bureau.
Coincidentally, Hu Qianqiu happened to be the deputy minister, and coincidentally found the old man's name. After inking, it was confirmed that the old man was the original platoon leader, and he hurriedly reported it to his retired father. So Hu Lao asked the village committee to call the village committee in Shantun to contact the old man. What rushed to the central ministries and commissions was going to the local joint inspection, so Hu Qianqiu took the initiative to go and escorted his father.
In this way, at the urging of Mr. Hu, Hu Qianqiu had to take his father and daughter to take advantage of the weekend break to come to Binhai first.
