In the afternoon, Lu Zheng flew directly to Beijing because he received a call from his brother-in-law Hu Deli, saying that the descendant of the old man Wang had a clue. Tomorrow was Saturday again, Wushan's rest day, so he happened to come to do this. Luo Chuan and Jiang Tao drove from Wushan to the Capital International Airport to pick him up early. They were familiar with the road and sent Lu Zheng back to the military compound. Lu Zheng now has a pass. In fact, when he saw Lu Zheng, the guards at the east gate of the compound raised their hands in salute, but they still checked the work IDs of Lu Zheng's entourage as usual. In Hospital No. 31, the eldest sister and her brother-in-law Hu Deli are here. They have gone to a European hospital for examination. Hu Deli's sperm can be used for artificial insemination. After a while, the couple will go to Germany for surgery. Iris will The hospital has contacted them. Logically speaking, the atmosphere today should be good, but both parents seemed a little hesitant. Lu Zheng asked the eldest sister privately and found out that it turned out that the second sister had sent a letter, and there was a photo of his one-month-old son in the letter. He was a handsome little mixed race. . Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel helpless after hearing this. After all, his second sister still didn't listen to his plan to return to China. Now that he has given birth to his children, he must be preparing to take root in the United States. He has been busy recently, and it is difficult to contact his second sister. There are several I haven¡¯t had a phone call in months, but a few days ago, a letter was just sent. "Don't tell your grandpa about this." Han Jing warned during the meal. Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Actually, with my example, the second sister's matter is not that serious." Han Jing frowned and said: "That's different." Lu Zheng remained silent. In fact, there was no difference, even if the second sister was willing If I return to China to develop my career and have a foreign husband, my family will still not be satisfied. However, everyone in the family likes Iris. However, there is no way I can't help but like it. No, the eldest brother-in-law Hu Deli thanked him profusely and talked about how wonderful his younger siblings are. "Have you found the descendant of Grandpa's old comrade?" Lu Tianhe asked Hu Deli. Lu Zheng knew that compared to his mother, his father was more liberal in his second sister's marriage. Hu Deli nodded: "Well, Mr. Wang's son was named Wang Kuirong. Unfortunately, he died of stomach cancer the year before last. He must have been in his early sixties when he passed away. He had a son and a daughter. The daughter was the eldest, and she got pregnant when she was sixteen. My daughter has been married to two husbands, and her brother has been a fool since he was born. Alas, everything has been rough. This is the situation of Mr. Wang¡¯s grandchildren." Hu Deli took out a few pages from his handbag and handed them over. Showed it to Lu Tianhe. Lu Tianhe looked through it and said, "The work efficiency is quite high." He shook his head again, "I don't know how to explain this to the old man." Both the old man Wang and his son passed away, and this was the case for the third generation. The old man was in good spirits. It's not good. Hearing about his old friend's subsequent plight makes him feel heavy, which is not good for his health. Passing a few pages of paper to Lu Zheng, Lu Tianhe said: "You can think of a way." Now his son can be the hands-on shopkeeper by himself and just let him worry about it. This is also a very fulfilling thing. It seems to be better than before. As a leader within the party, it is more comfortable to compete with other forces. Lu Zheng smiled bitterly. He looked at these two pages and was suddenly startled. Old Man Wang's granddaughter is called Wang Peiying. Her current husband, Zhang Rongda, works in a chemical factory in Laizhou County. They have one daughter and two sons. The two sons do not have the blood of Old Man Wang. The names inside are I didn¡¯t even write it down. The eldest daughter¡¯s name is Tang Weihong, but the background information is not detailed. It just said that she entered an art and performance school at a very young age. The eldest brother-in-law probably didn¡¯t have time to search further. He mainly searched for the descendants of Mr. Wang. The current information is enough to find them. . Tang Weihong, Laizhou, and Wang Peiying gave birth to a girl at the age of sixteen. Lu Zheng couldn't help but rub his nose. It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? Tang Xue is from Laizhou. She told herself that she used to be called Tang Weihong when she was a child. When she was in art school, she was selected by the military art troupe and later changed her name to Tang Xue. If it is really her, according to seniority, she is still her niece. Lu Zheng scratched his head vigorously. It was God's will that he met her in advance. After dinner, Lu Zheng returned to the bedroom. He wanted to call Tang Xue to ask, but he forgot the phone number of Tang Xue's dormitory, although she kept it for herself. In desperation, he called Wang Yaozu, and soon Wang Yaozu called. Hearing Lu Zheng say that he was now in the military compound, he immediately said: "I'm on duty. I'll go home tomorrow and walk around with you." Lu Zheng coughed He asked, "What's Tang Xue's phone number?" Wang Yaozu then hummed and said, "Brother, you are still right. Tang Xue is right, right?" Lu Zheng laughed, although Wang Yaozu was weird. But obviously, it shouldn't be a big deal. For him, there are naturally many new toys, and he can't have a bitter love for Tang Xue. After telling Lu Zheng Tang Xue¡¯s dormitory phone number, Wang Yaozu said, ¡°Anyway, I¡¯ll just watch with my eyes wide open, brother, what are you thinking about?¡± Lu Zheng was made to smile. Looking at the watch, it was not yet lights out time, and it was probably past the time for dance training. Lu Zheng called the phone and transferred it from the switchboard to dormitory 305. The girl who answered the phone had a clear voice, but it was not Tang Xue. Listen, After Lu Zheng said he was looking for Tang Xue, he called out: "Liangtang, phone number."The sound of footsteps and girls' laughter came from the phone, and then came Tang Xue's soft voice, "Hello, I'm Tang Xue." Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's me, Lu Zheng." Tang Xue He was obviously startled for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Brother Lu? Do you have something to do with me? Are you looking for a singer for a party? I've been free recently." Lu Zhengxin said that you can really relate, but it seems that he is also the one to find her by himself. He probably had nothing else to do, so he smiled and said, "No, I just want to ask, is your mother's name Wang Peiying and your stepfather's name Zhang Rongda?" "Yes, you, how did you know?" Tang Xuerou said in a soft voice. With hesitation and even a little fear, she said, "No, isn't my uncle causing trouble again?" Her uncle once chopped someone up and is now in a mental hospital, relying entirely on her meager income to pay for treatment. Lu Zheng said: "No." He hesitated and asked: "Are you free tomorrow? I want to go see your mother. Maybe our two families have some connection." Tang Xue was silent for a while and said: "I don't want to Go." Lu Zheng was startled and said, "Why don't you ask for leave? I'll go talk to you." Tang Xue remained silent. Lu Zheng said: "Come with me. It's like this. Your great-grandfather and my grandfather used to be comrades in arms. My grandfather missed you very much and asked me to look for you." After a while, Tang Xue said: "Brother Lu, you should still Don't go see my mother. Tell your grandfather that our family is very good. I, I don't want you to see her." Lu Zheng frowned and said, "Can you decide if you don't want to go? , I'll find it myself. Tang Xue sounded like she was crying, "I, it's not that I don't want to go with you. You don't know, I haven't been home for a long time. Brother Lu, don't be angry. I'll go. I'll pay you back." No? "As he spoke, he seemed to be covering his mouth and crying. Lu Zheng was startled for a moment, then slowed down his tone and said, "I don't know the situation in your family, but I feel that a family is a family and all problems can be solved. Then he paused and asked tentatively: "Didn't your stepfather hurt you when you were a child?" Then he said: "You are older now and have the ability to protect yourself. What are you still afraid of him doing?" "I always feel that Tang Xue has a lot of worries at a young age. She is not as cheerful as a girl and is lonely and unhappy. Maybe this is the crux. "No, no" Tang Xue choked and said, "Although I am not my father's biological child. Yes, but he is very good to me. She is my mother. She is outside. There is someone outside" Unable to speak any more, she burst into tears. After a while, she said: "I, I have been since I joined the art troupe. I haven't been back home, I just went back to see my uncle" Lu Zheng was silent. It turned out that her mother's conduct was not very good. Over there, Tang Xue seemed to be still wiping away tears and said, "My mother, my mother wants to know about my great-grandfather. Things, knowing that your family conditions are good, I definitely, definitely want to benefit from you. Originally, the matters of the previous generation have nothing to do with us, but she is this kind of person, she, maybe she will divorce my dad, you, you Just don¡¯t see her anymore. My dad wrote a letter saying that she has finally gotten over it in the past two years. Although, I don¡¯t really believe what my dad said in the letter" Lu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Let¡¯s go to your house. Look, I'm definitely going there. After all, it's my grandfather's wish. Just don't tell your mother for the time being. As for you, it¡¯s time to go home and take a look, didn¡¯t you say that? Your stepfather has always been very kind to you. You have two younger brothers. Don¡¯t you want to go back and see them? Then he said: "That's it, I'll pick you up tomorrow. Also, dress up and show it to your family." " Tang Xue gave a low hum. Obviously she didn't want to go against Lu Zheng's decision. The next morning, she picked up Tang Xue at the art troupe compound and rushed out of Beijing. Laizhou County is close to Beijing, but It is one of the poor counties in eastern Hebei. It is located in a mountainous area and does not belong to Beijing, so the policy does not take care of it. Moreover, due to the water quality in Beijing, it is not allowed to develop specific industries. Along the periphery of Beijing, there is a string of poor counties in eastern Hebei. This is generally the case. Although she was on leave, Tang Xue was still wearing a brown-green art troupe costume, a female lieutenant's uniform skirt, a snow-white shirt and a rose-red tie. It was obvious that she was dressing up in the "spirit" as Lu Zheng said. Maybe it¡¯s her favorite outfit. Lu Zheng heard from Wang Yaozu that she was very simple and didn¡¯t have many casual clothes. She wore the clothes issued by the art troupe all year round. It was okay, there was an asphalt road directly connected to some mountainous areas below. On the way, Lu Zheng asked that Tang Xue's grandfather was Wang Kuirong. As for her great-grandfather, she didn't know his name. Tang Xue's family lived in a large courtyard, a bungalow. , reminded Lu Zheng of the residence of Aunt Cuihong and Uncle Guobin in Guangning ten years ago. However, this family home was a single-family home. The alley was very narrow, and the commercial vehicle could barely get in and parked in Tang Xue's home. In front of the door, several children gathered around and looked at her curiously. After Tang Xue got out of the car, a young man in his early twenties came over with a blushing face and said hello: "Xiaohong, you are back. "He turned around and shouted into the courtyard: "Second Aunt Xiaohong"Here we come." When he saw Lu Zheng who got out of the car, the young man's eyes were not very friendly. It seemed that he had a crush on Tang Xue. Tang Xue said: "Brother Zhuzi, thank you for your help with my uncle's matter." "The young man named Zhuzi blushed even more, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, and muttered: "This, what's the point? It should be right. " At this time, there were footsteps in the courtyard, and the green iron door was opened. A graceful young woman appeared behind the door. She was thirty-three or four years old. She wore a green waist dress. In the county town, she was very well-dressed. Even though she is fashionable, her facial features are vaguely similar to Tang Xue's, but her oval face is not as sharp and voluptuous as Tang Xue's. It seems that she is Tang Xue's mother Wang Peiying. "Xiao Hong?" "The young woman shouted in surprise, Tang Xue looked a little cold, hesitantly, and called mom. "Oh, come in, come in, this is, is this your friend? " Mrs. Tang looked at Lu Zheng. Tang Xue said, "This is Brother Lu, who sent me here. " Lu Zheng coughed. He was going to call his aunt before he came, but seeing that Tang Xue's mother was so young, not to mention that she was indeed the same age as him, her aunt couldn't call her out. After holding it in for a long time, she said: "Sister Wang, Hello. Hearing Lu Zheng¡¯s name, Tang Xue didn¡¯t know why, but suddenly felt funny and burst into laughter. Tang Xue's mother was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Come in and sit, come in and sit." Then she looked at the business car in front of the courtyard and asked, "Did you drive this car?" Tang Xue nodded and said, "Lu "Brother's car." Lu Zheng and Tang Xue entered the hospital, and Tang Xue's mother insisted Luo Chuan and Jiang Tao get out of the car and sit in the house, and took the opportunity to look at the furnishings in the car. Luo Chuan and Jiang Tao repeatedly declined, saying they were just drivers and could stay outside. It wasn't until Lu Zheng nodded to them that he locked the car door and walked into the courtyard with Tang Xue's mother. Seeing this scene, Tang Xue¡¯s mother¡¯s eyes were filled with brilliance. Tang Xue's house was very clean and tidy. Tang Xue's mother poured water for Lu Zheng, Xiao Chuan and Tao Zi, washed the fruits, and said: "His father went to work, and the two little naughty boys went to grandpa's house. I was the only one." I can't make much money by doing some small business. " Lu Zheng nodded, and Tang Xue asked, "Mom, aren't you tired from renting a newsstand with others? , she couldn't move the magazines every day. "Obviously, she has very complicated feelings towards her mother, and she hates some things about her, and even doesn't want to go home and face her, but when she actually meets her, she feels something else in her heart. . Tang Xue's mother smiled and said: "It's okay, your dad is helping me clean up the stall now. Besides, you have seen that I fished for three days and dried nets for two days. Didn't I just go there this morning?" He curled his lips and said, "I know, you haven't changed." I felt sorry for my mother at first, but seeing that my mother was still as lazy and lazy as before, compared with my stepfather who worked hard to live a good life, I couldn't help but feel that my mother was irritating. Tang Xue's mother looked at Lu Zheng and asked, "Aren't you Tang Xue's colleague?" Lu Zheng smiled and said, "No, I work in the Wushan Municipal Party Committee." Tang Xue couldn't help but glance at Lu Zheng, she said to Lu Zheng She was naturally curious about Lu Zheng's identity, but Wang Yaozu didn't tell her. Naturally, no one in her usual circle of friends would know who Lu Zheng was. Then seeing Lu Zheng winking at her, Tang Xue suddenly woke up and asked: "Mom, is my great-grandfather's name Wang Fushan and he lived in Shunzhou?" Tang Xue's mother was slightly startled and said: " "Yeah, how did you know? What's wrong?" He then said, "It's not because of your grandfather that you can't join the party, right?" Tang Xue shook her head and said, "I just want to ask." Zheng was ninety-nine percent sure, but now, it is definitely confirmed, unless what the eldest brother-in-law checked was wrong from the beginning. Looking at Tang Xue's mother, and then at Tang Xue, I thought that I could only say something to comfort my grandfather. This family's life was pretty good, and they had nothing to take care of. But to be honest, the living conditions of this family were also very bad. Grandpa's mood must have been affected after hearing this. "Are you doing well now? I don't understand anything about the army." Tang Xue's mother asked with concern. Tang Xue nodded lightly: "It's pretty good." She didn't want to say more. Tang Xue's mother sighed and said to Lu Zheng: "Xiaohong's life is hard, and I, as a mother, can't live up to expectations. I just hope that she can find someone who loves her in the future and treats her well. Then I have nothing to ask for." "Mom, Brother Lu has a lover and has been married for several years." Tang Xue was worried that her mother would say something embarrassing to Brother Lu, so she made it clear first. Tang Xue¡¯s mother was stunned, blinking and looking at Lu Zheng in confusion. Naturally, she thought, what does it mean for you and my daughter to come to my house? Tang Xue said: "Brother Lu passed by Laizhou on business, and I just wanted to go home and have a look. I asked him to take me with him, and we will leave in a while." Tang Xue's mother was stunned for a while, and said: "You guys sit down, I'll cut some watermelon for you." After saying that, he got up and went into the kitchen. After a while, he called Tang Xue: "Xiao Hong,Come in and help me. " Lu Zheng smiled bitterly. He couldn't explain his purpose. Don't blame Tang Xue's mother for misunderstanding. It seemed like something was wrong with him. In the kitchen, Tang Xue's mother motioned for Tang Xue to close the door. While dicing the watermelon, she said: "He looks quite young. Yes, but you always call me sister. Is she much older than you? " Tang Xue shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, probably in his early thirties. Then he said: "Mom, I told you that Brother Lu has nothing to do with me, and he doesn't like me either." " Tang Xue's mother said dissatisfied: "What do you mean you don't like it? You are young and beautiful, unless he is not a man and looks down on you? "As he spoke, he sneered, obviously thinking that his daughter was naive. Tang Xue said helplessly: "You don't understand, he is different from the man you know. " Mrs. Tang didn't care about the hidden meaning of Tang Xue's words. She sneered and said, "The crows in the world are as dark as crows. Otherwise, I can tell at a glance what he is thinking when he sends you to his house. Then he said: "Xiao Hong, don't be confused. With your conditions, I'll find someone to settle it. You are the queen's destiny. If you can find a leader, the big leader can't be found. Battalion commanders and regimental commanders are also fine." , if you get confused and follow the wrong person, your life will be over. " Tom rolled his eyes: "But this Xiao Lu's family should be in good condition. His car looks extraordinary. The inside of the car is like a small reception room. It's quite expensive, right? And those two young men, did you see that they were as obedient as his bodyguards? " Tang Xue said: "I don't know. "I'm too lazy to talk to her.
