Zheng Zhendong pushed his bicycle and hurriedly rode it after coming out of the hospital and headed towards the Municipal Industrial Safety Bureau.
After passing through Qianmen Gong'an Street, Zheng Zhendong arrived at the Municipal Gong'an Safety Bureau.
As soon as he entered the city bureau, Zheng Zhendong was stopped by the guard and asked.
"Comrade, this is the Municipal Work Safety Bureau. Are you looking for someone, or is there something wrong?"
Zheng Zhendong parked his bicycle and said with a smile.
"Hello, comrade guard, I'm here to find someone. Please help me call Captain Zhang Shijun and tell him that Zheng Zhendong has something to do with him!"
After hearing this, the guard asked Zheng Zhendong to wait in the communication room first. Then he used the phone in the communication room to call the switchboard first, and when he got through, he spoke.
When the switchboard connected the call, the doorman hurriedly said.
"Captain Zhang, right? This is the guard here. Someone named Zheng Zhendong is looking for you!
What? Please speak louder, I can’t hear you clearly!
Oh, okay, okay, I’ll let him go up right now!”
After the doorman finished speaking, he hung up the phone and then spoke to Zheng Zhendong.
"Zheng Zhendong, right? Captain Zhang asked you to go up directly. He is in the second office on the third floor. Go find him quickly!"
After listening to the doorman's words, Zheng Zhendong thanked the doorman first and then said.
"Brother, please help me take a look at the bicycle. I'll be down in a moment!"
After hearing what Zheng Zhendong said, the guard said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it for you. Besides, this is the Industrial Safety Bureau, who would risk their lives to steal things here!
If there is such a bold person, I would like to see it, but I just have itchy hands!
Okay, you go find Captain Zhang quickly, if you don’t go up after a while, he should be anxious!"
Hearing what the doorman said, Zheng Zhendong cupped his hands towards him, then turned and walked towards the office building.
It didn't take long to reach the third floor. At this time, Zhang Shijun and Uncle Zhang were already standing at the top of the stairs waiting for him.
Seeing Zheng Zhendong going upstairs, Zhang Shijun said with concern.
"Dongzi, why are you here today? Why is your elder brother's injury getting worse? Or is there something difficult going on at home?"
Zheng Zhendong looked at Zhang Shijun who looked anxious, he was deeply moved and said with red eyes.
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, my elder brother is fine!
On the contrary, it will gradually get better. Some time ago, my fourth grandfather searched all the medical books and recently found a prescription!
Listen to what he said, if I take Chinese medicine for a period of time, my brother’s injuries and sequelae will be alleviated a lot!"
Zhang Shijun was very happy after hearing what Zheng Zhendong said. He pulled Zheng Zhendong's arm and said happily.
"Okay, there is still such a good thing, let's go to my office and talk about it in detail!"
Just like that, Zheng Zhendong was pulled by Zhang Shijun's arm and entered his office.
Zhang Shijun entered the office, closed the door first, then asked Zheng Zhendong to sit on the sofa, poured him a glass of water, and then spoke.
"You brat, are you here to tell me the good news? Okay, since your eldest brother is about to recover!
When I have time someday, I will go to the hospital and see him again! You brat, do you have anything else to do?"
Hearing Zhang Shijun and Uncle Zhang ask this, Zheng Zhendong, who was originally calm, suddenly became angry again, and then spoke.
"Uncle Zhang, you don't know, since my family moved to the courtyard where we live now.
I hardly ever pass by my house, but the Jia family in Zhongyuan keeps making trouble for my house every day!
In addition, the elders in the courtyard, especially Mr. Shi, often favor the Jia family, and my family is not living a comfortable life!
Isn't that right? There was a meeting in the courtyard some time ago, and my mother and I were listening to them in vain!
Just in time, the comrades from the sub-district office brought the news that my eldest brother was injured, so my mother and I hurried to the hospital!"
After talking so much, I also came here on a bicycle.
Zheng Zhendong was a little thirsty, so he picked up the water cup on the coffee table, drank a few sips, put down the cup in his hand, and continued to speak.
"Jia Dongxu, who is so stupid, probably took it to heart after hearing what his comrade from the street office said!
Then he went to Qinjiatun, Changping, where he made irresponsible remarks to my future sister-in-law Qin Huairu’s family and ruined my eldest brother’s marriage!
I want my future sister-in-law Qin Huairu to marry this piece of shit like him!
However, fortunately, the Qin family is more sensible and did not agree, otherwise, how would our family behave in the courtyard in the future!"
Hearing what Zheng Zhendong said, Zhang Shijun became furious and cursed angrily.
"What a fool! Where did this cat and dog come from to dare to bully people like this? I think his family is tired of living!"
Let alone a family like yours, even ordinary people have to think about it!"
After scolding, Zhang Shijun and Uncle Zhang thought carefully for a moment, and then said to Zheng Zhendong.
"You brat, you came at the right time. Due to the Korean War, the higher authorities are studying new military service regulations. It is said that they will be enacted in the coming year!
This new regulation is particularly beneficial to your family's situation. Your father, your father, and your eldest brother have sacrificed a lot for the country. Our country,
I will definitely never forget you!
As soon as he said this, Zhang Shijun's eyes turned red, and the seven-foot-tall man started to cry, and said while crying.
"Brother Chengji, I'm sorry for you. If you hadn't saved me time and time again, I would have died 800 times!
In the end, you were killed by a Japanese mortar in order to save me!
I will never forget the scene when you jumped on me!
Hey, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have sacrificed yourself!
If you hadn't sacrificed your life, you could at least be a division commander or even a column commander. How much contribution could you make to the revolutionary cause?"
Seeing Zhang Shijun crying and listening to his words, Zheng Zhendong sighed in his heart, but still persuaded him.
"Uncle Zhang, please don't blame yourself. My father is an old man. This is what his fate is, and no one can blame him!
Besides, didn’t the Chairman say, “Everyone is destined to die, and it may be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai.”
My dad died fighting the Japs. He is a hero, a great hero, and a role model for our whole family!
Don't blame yourself. Besides, in the past few years, our family has been where we are today thanks to your care!
To be honest, our whole family is grateful to you. Let the past be bygones!
As long as we live a good life in the future, it can be considered as a comfort to my dad’s spirit in heaven!”
…
Zheng Zhendong continued talking for a while, and Zhang Shijun gradually stopped crying, and then he spoke sheepishly.
"You brat, Uncle Zhang will let you laugh today, but don't talk nonsense when you go out! Otherwise, be careful!"
Zheng Zhendong quickly said that he would not talk nonsense. Zhang Shijun looked at his eyes carefully and let him go after a while!
