After hearing Zhao Weihong's address, Zhao Jianguo and his wife were suddenly shocked and immediately realized that the ordinary old man in front of them might be a leader with an astonishing background!
Zhao Yuejin, who was standing by, also showed an expression full of respect and excitement. He subconsciously took two steps forward with the help of his crutches, as if he wanted to salute Deputy Chief Wei, but was stopped by Deputy Chief Wei.
"Chief."
"Don't be so outspoken."
"Even if we really have to salute, it should be me, an old man, saluting you, a hero who has sacrificed for the motherland and the people."
"This time, an old man came here because he has long admired your family and wanted to pay a visit. There is nothing special about it."
After saying that, Deputy Chief Wei looked at Zhao Weihong, whose face was full of surprise, and his gaze lingered on the farm tools on Zhao Weihong's shoulders for a long time.
"Not bad! I'm not idle at home either!"
"You even know how to do farm work. That's your style!"
"It's good to do farm work. It can make people feel at ease and at ease."
"When I was a kid, my favorite thing was to think about things while working in the fields."
"It's been a while since I last went back to the countryside."
Looking at Deputy Chief Wei, he sighed and looked nostalgic.
Zhao Weihong then realized that the Deputy Chief Wei in front of him was actually the same as himself.
They are all children from farmers' families who came from the countryside.
"Wei Hong, I wonder if this old man would have the honor to have a simple meal at your house?"
After hearing this, Zhao Weihong finally came to his senses and said in a panic.
"of course can!"
"Go inside first!"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Chief Wei smiled at first but did not move.
Instead, he looked at Zhao Jianguo and his wife who were somewhat hesitant, then stepped forward, took the initiative to grab Zhao Jianguo's hand and shook it vigorously.
“I’ve actually wanted to say this for a long time.”
"Today I finally have the chance."
"Thank you and your family for training an extremely outstanding talent for the motherland and the army!"
When had Zhao Jianguo and his wife ever seen such a scene?
I was so excited that I couldn't speak.
But Deputy Chief Wei obviously didn't want the atmosphere to become like this. After expressing his gratitude to Zhao Jianguo and others, he changed the subject and walked towards the house while chatting.
Years of military life have not changed Deputy Commander Wei's rural aura.
In less than half an hour, Deputy Chief Wei was in Zhao Weihong's shabby but warm little home, chatting happily with everyone in the house like Zhao Weihong's distant elder.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuejin and others, especially Zhao Jianguo and his wife, gradually let go of the burden in their hearts, and the tone of their voices when talking to Deputy Chief Wei became less awkward and nervous, and more enthusiastic and friendly.
Even at Deputy Chief Wei's strong request, he began to call Deputy Chief Wei "his uncle".
In fact, considering Deputy Chief Wei's age, it is not an exaggeration for Zhao Yuejin and others to call him uncle.
The reason why "his uncle" was chosen is, on the one hand, because this title is more intimate, and on the other hand, because this title can better demonstrate Deputy Chief Wei's temperament of being old but still strong and vigorous.
As for Zhao Weihong, of course she was "super downgraded!"
"Master"
This is also the local custom in Zhao Weihong's home.
When addressing elders like Deputy Chief Wei, people usually don't call him "Grandpa", but instead call him "Ye" which is more intimate and respectful.
"Hey! Doesn't this sound much better than the chief?"
Along with Deputy Chief Wei's hearty laughter, the warm yet somewhat dull atmosphere in Zhao Weihong's home finally became a little more festive.
Li Ping used her unique skills and was busy in the kitchen.
Zhao Weihong originally wanted to help out, but Li Ping sent him back and asked him to chat with the "guest" more.
that's it.
Four men from different eras were chatting about family matters and neighborhood trivia in a living room covered with newspapers.
Following Li Ping's words "It's time to eat", Zhao Weihong helped her mother bring the steaming dishes to the table.
Deputy Chief Wei sat in the guest seat, eating quickly and praising Li Ping's cooking skills. He even "secretly" drank a small glass of white wine like a naughty boy and "threatened" Zhao Weihong not to tell anyone.
Everyone at the table was laughing so hard that they were rolling on the floor. Only Li Ping quietly wiped away the tears that were rolling down her eyes when no one was paying attention.
Under the influence of alcohol, Zhao Weihong seemed to have forgotten the passage of time and had no idea how long the meal took.
When Zhao Weihong came to her senses again, the leftovers in front of her reminded her that the happy scene just now was not a dream.
But Zhao Yuejin and others had quietly left at some point.
The dim tungsten filament light made a slight sound, making the old face of Deputy Chief Wei, who was looking at Zhao Weihong, look even more kind.
"woke up?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Weihong's drunkenness immediately dissipated, and he spoke a little embarrassedly.
"Chief."
"Ok?"
Accompanied by a meaningful and threatening snort from Deputy Chief Wei.
Zhao Weihong immediately realized that he had used the wrong address and quickly changed his words.
"Master"
"Ok!"
“How long have I slept?”
"It didn't take long, just a dozen minutes." "Your parents are out for a walk, they will be back later."
As he spoke, Deputy Chief Wei picked up the half-remaining bottle of "West Wind Wine" and personally filled a glass for Zhao Weihong.
The wine slowly flowed down from the bottle, colliding with the transparent wall of the cup, making a fascinating sound.
"You must have felt bad during this period."
After saying this, Deputy Chief Wei sat back in his seat.
Looking at Zhao Weihong opposite, tears filled with sadness and grievance covered her very determined face in an instant.
“It’s not that bad.”
"It's just... a little aggrieved."
After sniffing, Zhao Weihong wiped his face roughly, picked up the wine poured for him by Deputy Chief Wei, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wei Hong, do you think the army and the outside world are the same?"
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong answered without hesitation and gave a decisive answer.
"No! It's definitely different!"
Zhao Weihong spoke from her heart.
In his heart, the only two sacred and beautiful places left, besides his home, are the army.
"It's good to have you say that."
"Come."
"check it out."
The list that Deputy Chief Wei handed over was even more detailed than the one Zhou Kehu had originally given to Zhao Weihong.
The names of the people on it have not changed.
But there are many more specific punishment measures.
The lightest punishment is imprisonment for at least ten years!
And these people, like Director Wang and the village chief, will lose everything they have accumulated in the first half of their lives. Even after leaving prison, they will have to pay for their sins and regret them in the second half of their lives in poverty and desolation!
Director Wang once said that even if Wang Yaozu really went to jail, it wouldn’t matter.
Because he can also give Wang Yaozu a luxurious life that ordinary people can hardly imagine in their dreams.
But now it seems that Director Wang’s “bold words” cannot be realized.
Because he has lost everything he could lose!
And it can be expected that their "atonement" will begin only after they regain their freedom!
Because whether it is Deputy Chief Wei, Zhou Kehu, or every elder and comrade who cares about Zhao Weihong, they will keep a close eye on this group of people and let them experience the life that Zhao Weihong once experienced!
Otherwise, it will not be enough to make these people realize the mistakes they have made, and it will not be enough to pay for the sins they carry!
"Wei Hong, there are procedures to follow in dealing with this group of people."
"It will take quite some time for these measures to be implemented."
"But the old man can assure you."
"Everything you are seeing now is only likely to get worse, not better."
In order to help Zhao Weihong completely resolve her emotional issues.
Deputy Chief Wei looked at Zhao Weihong, whose right hand was holding the list and trembling slightly, and made a promise.
"No matter where you are then."
"I will let you watch the trial of these people."
The voice just fell.
Deputy Chief Wei seemed to remember something, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly spoke in a slightly sighing tone.
"When I was dealing with this matter, I told Xiao Zhou not to let him create public opinion in a place like Huating."
“And I don’t intend to make public the treatment of this group of people because there are too many people involved.”
"If it were really made public, it would be big news!"
"Wei Hong, children who grow up in families like yours and mine always become sensible at an early age."
"You are no exception."
"I believe you can understand why I made this decision."
At this point, Deputy Chief Wei's tone suddenly changed. His eyes, which had seemed extremely kind since he arrived at Zhao Weihong's house, now emitted two terrifying rays of light!
"But now, I have changed my mind."
“Not only should the punishment of this group of people be made public, but also the reasons why they were punished should be made public!”
He waved his hand in a very heroic manner.
Deputy Chief Wei interrupted Zhao Weihong who seemed to want to say something, and continued speaking on his own.
"Of course, from the perspective of the overall situation, this approach may not be appropriate."
"But I don't want a young man who can make achievements and contribute to the motherland and the people, whether in studying or in the military, to have the idea of retiring to the mountains and forests because of this incident!"
"You are still a little immature, kid!"
"Your thoughts are written all over your face!"
Hearing this, Zhao Weihong smiled embarrassedly. The depression and grievance that had been choking her heart for some time disappeared in an instant with the words of Deputy Chief Wei.
"Wei Hong."
He stood up and touched Zhao Weihong's hair.
Deputy Chief Wei was very kind, but every word he said was firm.
“You are the big picture.”
