Chapter 52: The Two Wengs Compete for a Son-in-Law!
The person who came was also an old man. But unlike the old secretary, this man had a strong sense of metal all over his body. Although he was old, he was extremely powerful. He was like an iron tower, strong and powerful.
The old secretary Congwen. This old general was a general who made great contributions in the Vietnam War and climbed out of the dead.
His steps were extremely steady, but his tiger eyes never left the Chu River.
"Old guy, what does it have to do with you that I'm chatting with Xiao Chu?" The old secretary blew his beard and glared. "Don't think that I'm easy to bully after I retire. You haven't been so proud for a few years."
The old general said nothing, Da Ma Jin Dao sat across from the two of them, glared at the old secretary fiercely, then looked like Chu He but became much gentler, and said: "Xiao Chu, don't listen to this old guy. Hong Yu is only temporary.
You are confused, wait until her anger subsides. Third Grandpa will help you to intercede. This couple is fighting at the end of the bed. Is there any obstacle that cannot be overcome?"
"Bullshit!" shouted the old secretary. "Is my Xiao Chu so mean? Do you have to go to Zhuge's house?"
"Your Liuyue is better than Hongyu?" the old general sneered and said disdainfully. "You didn't know that in Baicheng. I know it all. Do you know what she is called in the army? A poisonous woman! You don't treat recruits as human beings. Which one
Dare to look at her? Say a word to her?"
"If the new recruits are not properly trained, how will they be able to defend our country in the future? What happened to my Liu Yue? At least one reinforcement camp should be pursued for her!"
"Those who pursue ruby can go from the first ring to the third, fourth and fifth rings!" the old general said proudly. "Besides, my ruby is young and beautiful. Can your Liu Yue compare?"
"Old guy, see if I don't beat you to death——"
"Oh, you still dare to hit me? I'll kick you to death!"
"Why--"
Chu He hurriedly grabbed these two old people, whose combined age was almost 150 years old. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't be excited, don't be excited."
After finally appeasing the old man who got more and more tempered as he got older, the old general said righteously: "Xiao Chu, tell me, should you choose Hongyu or that old woman in her thirties?"
"What old woman? If you scold my Liu Yue again, believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"
"Come on. I have never been afraid of crawling out from among the dead when there were bullets and bullets. Will I be afraid of you?"
Chu He stood up again and held the two of them, and said helplessly: "You two, please don't get excited. Let me say a few words, okay?"
When the two heard this, they stopped.
"Xiao Chu, tell me. Is your sister Liu good to you? She takes care of you like a mother since she was a child and loves you. How can she not be as good as the pampered little Zhuge?"
"Sister Liu is very good."
"Hey Xiaochu. Don't you think our Hongyu is not good? Her grandfather passed away early. How hard has it been these years? When you went to a foreign country to perform a mission, did she have any complaints? She was alone against all opinions.
Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get your certificate. How many people have you looked down upon? Do you count? Red
I wasted my best eight years waiting for you. Isn’t she worthy of love? That’s right. She is divorced from you now. But she must be angry. But as a woman, you can just coax her away. How can there be an overnight feud? Besides, let’s talk
Jia Hongyu is not as narrow-minded as some women, who will break off the relationship before marrying."
"Old guy, don't criticize me!" The old secretary quit and yelled.
Chu He comforted the two of them for the third time, lit a cigarette and said: "You two are both right. Sister Liu is good, and Hongyu is good. But Hongyu took the initiative to propose a divorce. Naturally, I have to respect her wishes. Again
Yes, I really can't help her."
"Well done!" The old secretary gave a thumbs up. "Men should face it bravely!"
Chu He's eyes fell on the old secretary's face and continued: "Sister Liu has loved me since I was a child. She cares for me more than my father. I am grateful to Sister Liu from the bottom of my heart. And back then, I did always treat Sister Liu as my own sister.
I’ve never thought about this at all—”
"That--"
"Listen to me first." Chu He interrupted the anxious old secretary and said, "No matter how I view my relationship with Sister Liu now, but at least - it will be difficult for Sister Liu to forgive me. You also know Liu
My sister’s temper. When she said she would break off diplomatic relations with me, it was definitely not just a matter of words."
"Finally - I have a girlfriend now."
If the facts Chu He explained earlier only made the two old people a little discouraged, then these words at this moment really hit them.
Have a girlfriend?
How long has it been since he returned to China?
The old general blew his beard and glared: "Xiao Chu, this is your fault. How long have you divorced Hong Yu and you are looking for a new love? You were not like this before!"
Chu He said bitterly: "There are some things that I can't explain. But this is a fact. I am definitely not deceiving you two."
"Alas!" The old secretary sighed heavily, glared at the old general, and said, "We are fighting to the death here. But a girl from another family got there first!"
Both of them understood Chu He as a person and understood that he was not a sentimental person. However, they did not blame him. It was just regret and disappointment written on their faces.
"In this case, I have nothing to say. Xiao Chu, you go ahead. I still have two words to say to this old guy." The old general said.
"The two of you chat slowly. I'm leaving first." Chu He stood up helplessly and walked out the door.
After Chu He left, the old general sighed softly and said in a strange tone: "How is it? Is there no chance?"
"Aren't you the same?" the old secretary snorted. "My Liu Yue is still a young girl after all. Unlike little Zhuge, a second marriage is a second marriage!"
"——" The old general was not angry and sneered. "A thirty-five-year-old woman is considered a Golden Saint, right?"
"Your uncle!"
"Haha——" the old general laughed wildly.
After laughing for a while, the old general suddenly fell into silence.
He remained silent, and the old secretary seemed a little silent. The two old men who had made a big fuss in front of Chu He stared at each other for a long time before the old secretary uttered a sentence: "It's been five years. It's time to hide it.
Have you hidden it all?"
The old general silently lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice: "So what if I didn't hide it?"
The old secretary smiled bitterly and said, "You still have the same bad temper."
The old general changed the topic and said slowly: "I'm here this time, firstly, for a meeting, and secondly, to talk to Lao Ling."
"What are you looking for him for?" the old secretary asked in surprise.
"What did he say back then?" the old general groaned. "If Chuhe doesn't come back, will he break his legs?"
"He must be worried about Xiao Chu too," the old secretary said helplessly.
"Worried?" The old general raised his eyebrows and said coldly. "He is worried. But he is afraid that Xiao Chu's nonsense will ruin his future!"
The old secretary's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Don't talk nonsense. The overall situation has been decided now. I am worried that disaster will fall from the sky."
"What am I afraid of?" the old general said angrily. "When I fought in the Vietnam War, these grandsons were still wearing crotchless pants! How can a bunch of sour-looking people have any sense of being a soldier?"
The old secretary handed him a cigarette and said in a strange voice: "Old boy, after fighting for half your life, don't you want to live a peaceful life?"
The old general sneered: "When I die, I will live in peace."
The old secretary shook his head, took a puff of cigarette, and suddenly said: "The anniversary of the teacher's death is coming soon."
When the old general heard this, his expression darkened and he murmured: "Yes. Unknowingly, the teacher has been gone for five years. Time is like a dog."
"Do you think Xiao Chu will go?" the old secretary asked.
"Why don't you go?" the old general said with a straight face. "Are you stupid for being a secretary? After all, you are a close relative. Is Xiao Chu the kind of person who has no conscience?"
"I'm worried." The old secretary sighed softly. "The teacher kicked Xiao Chu out and threatened to cut off the relationship. He didn't forgive him until his death."
"The teacher is afraid that he will follow Miss Xiao's old path." The old general muttered, somewhat nostalgic for the past. "I probably wouldn't have agreed to Xiao Chu becoming a soldier. But think about it, a son born from the union of a pair of military kings.
What else can you do if you're not a soldier?"
The old secretary was stunned for a long time before saying: "It's fate."
"Don't be ridiculous. What nonsense is destiny? You are a dignified college student, but you still believe in this stuff?" The old general refilled a cigarette and frowned. "You are worried that he won't go. On the contrary, I am worried about her."
The old secretary stiffened and said to himself: "Do you think this child Xiao Chu's life is too hard? He lost his mother when he was a child. His father also fell into despair. There were many women around him back then. Now they all avoid him.
He has a home and cannot return, and he is wandering alone outside. Five years ago, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, he was temporarily living abroad under the order of the leader. His future was ruined by someone with malicious intentions, and he was almost accused of being a traitor."
"Stop talking!" the old general said with an aggrieved face. "If you want to blame, blame the chief for not showing him the secret back then. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Is there any way? The leader almost never came back. If Xiao Chu hadn't risked his life, China might not be in such a situation today." The old secretary said softly.
"Alas!" the old general stood up and said. "No matter what, it will be good if Xiao Chu comes back. I will go find her tomorrow and see if that woman is willing to give me some face."
"Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?" The old secretary narrowed his eyes slightly. "I looked for Xiao Chu after she came back."
"What's the result?" the old general asked.
"No one is allowed in." The old secretary smiled playfully. "Miss Xiao did not inherit the teacher's genes. On the contrary, she looks more and more like him."
"Miss Xiao has been hanging out in the military camp since she was a child, and she is the only one who serves her."
"Go and do your business. Come to my house for a drink before you leave," the old secretary said.
"If you have the ability to call Liu Yue back, I will come." The old general smiled.
"Don't be so damn excited," the old secretary scolded.
"Why are you so angry? You must be able to pull that poisonous woman out of the military camp. I will ask someone to send you the daughter Hong at home who you have been coveting for twenty years." The old general said.
"It's a deal!" The alcoholic old secretary's eyes shone, he rubbed his palms, and said in confusion. "Why did you suddenly rebel? Aren't you afraid that my Liu Yue will take down Xiao Chu?"
"Haha. If you can do it, that's your ability." The old general laughed. "Anyway, I don't have the ability to convince Hongyu."
The expression of the old secretary who had taken advantage of the trap froze, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You must also use this poison to kidnap her—no, kidnap my granddaughter back."
