Just when Yang Weifan opened the chimney and lit a "Greater China" for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, a lady wearing a navy blue gabardine uniform appeared from the door of the living room.
She has a plump body, fair face, and dark eyes, and looks very young.
Obviously she should be in her forties, but the effect of "the passage of time is not forgiving, and the spring fades away like falling flowers and flowing water" has weakened for some reason.
If you don't look carefully, you might even miss the less obvious traces of time on your forehead and corners of your eyes.
Needless to say, this is Yang Weifan's outstanding mother.
Hong Yanwu was the first to see it. He immediately stood up from the sofa and called "Auntie."
Then he put the cigarette in his hand on the ashtray and pulled Chen Liquan.
It wasn't until Chen Liquan followed suit and Yang Weifan called "Mom" that Moody said something with a high tone.
"Welcome, welcome to my home."
It's not Beijing dialect, it can only be regarded as Mandarin. Although the language content is very polite, it still has a serious expression. It makes people feel a bit insincere.
Sure enough, the following situation continues to confirm this point.
"Hello, Auntie, this is a little bit of our thoughts. It is to honor the two elders."
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan respectfully presented the gifts they brought.
But Moody didn't pay much attention to this. He just said, "Sit down if you're interested." Without even looking at it, he waved to the nanny to take it out.
Then, she looked at Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
As soon as Yang Weifan introduced their names, she couldn't wait to ask.
"You are all my son's friends? How did you meet our Xiao Liu'er?"
Hong Yanwu then told how they and Yang Weifan happened to meet at Bincheng Department Store.
But then Moody asked again, "Where do you two work?"
In this way, her political review of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan was completely launched.
First they asked about their jobs, then about their family background, and then about their parents. It seemed like they would never give up until they asked about three generations of their ancestors.
After learning their comprehensive and detailed situation, although Moody did not make any clear statement, the dissatisfaction revealed in his eyes was undoubtedly clear.
Chen Liquan is still young. He really didn't expect to be insulted like this as soon as he entered the Yang family's door. I don't know what will happen next?
At this time, he realized that Hong Yanwu's previous worries were not unfounded. Not only was there a faint sweat on his head, but he also didn't know where to put his hands.
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu came with mental preparation. Before he came, he had a premonition of what he would encounter when entering such a family. Moody's attitude was actually not too unexpected.
He responded to every sentence with neither humility nor arrogance. He was neither at a loss like Chen Liquan nor had any inferiority complex. Instead, he looked at Moody and answered naturally. This surprised Moody.
In the end, this dialogue ended due to Yang Weifan's intervention.
When Moody asked about Hong Yanwu's brothers and sisters again, Yang Weifan couldn't listen anymore. He knew that his friends all had self-esteem, so he couldn't help but blame his mother as if he was taking away the money.
"Mom, you don't really want to check the three generations of your ancestors, do you? This is not your work, this is our family! They are not your subordinates, they are my friends! In fact, I know what you want to hear. Xiaowu's second brother is
College student, are you satisfied..."
As a result, Moody also felt that he was a little embarrassed. He said, "This kid! What if Mom cares more about your friends..."
At this moment, the phone in the living room happened to ring again. It was Han Shan upstairs, saying that Yang Yaohua wanted to see a guest now.
In this way, everyone had steps to get off the stage, and the matter finally came to an end. The three young people soon followed Moody upstairs.
The meeting with Yang Yaohua was arranged in the small reception room on the second floor. At the turn of the stairs, there was a plant that was two meters high, with leaves as big as a pot, and bright green and black.
This thing was still very new these days. Chen Liquan had never seen it before. He couldn't help but look at it again and again, and even reached out to touch it.
Hong Yanwu found it funny and told him, "This is Monstera deliciosa, a plant that grows in tropical rainforests."
Unexpectedly, Moody heard it, and couldn't help but look back at Hong Yanwu curiously. He also asked him, "Have you been to the south?" Apparently he didn't expect him to have such knowledge.
But what was a little untimely was that Han Shan had already opened the door of the small living room at this time and greeted them warmly. This topic could not be continued. They all entered the small living room together.
Although it was winter, Yang Yaohua, who was wearing a blue double-breasted silk cotton jacket, was sitting on a wicker chair.
At this time, he was very different from the one on the hospital bed. His hair was more white than black, but his energy was revealed. Although his body was still weak, his eyes were no longer slow. It was obvious that his body and bones had healed.
In front of this old general, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's attitude must be extremely respectful.
But they no longer felt restrained, because they gradually discovered that Yang Yaohua was very different from what they imagined. He was not so majestic, and not so dull. Compared with Moody Chacai's indifference, the old general himself treated guests well.
Much more enthusiastic.
The old man has a Hunan accent and speaks like a great leader. So when chatting with them about everyday things, he is just like the character played by Gu Yue in the movie "The Founding Ceremony", and he seems very friendly.
He also looked for topics that they understood, talked about the scenery and customs of the capital, and asked about the people's livelihood. Among them, he especially liked to talk about their daily lives.
In addition, both Moody and Han Shan are completely centered on Yang Yaohua. They obey him and follow him in everything. Seeing that he is so good to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, they treat them very generously and give them the best.
cigarettes and the best tea.
In this way, the fragrant tea fills the air and the room is filled with fragrance. Guests feel at ease and the conversation becomes more intense.
Inadvertently, these trivial topics gradually turned to the relationship between Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and Yang Weifan. The strange thing is that this time these two boys actually described their own situation in more detail.
Afterwards, Hong Yanwu felt puzzled. Even though Yang Yaohua wanted to know as many questions as Moody, he couldn't make them feel the least bit disgusted. He even had a desire to talk to them.
Not to mention that Chen Liquan took the initiative to "explain" his personal situation this time. Even he was speechless. He also told about the incident of them beating the teacher's son. This speech was also too arrogant.
After thinking about it in detail, Hong Yanwu could not help but be impressed. A truly top political animal is indeed extraordinary.
Yes, there is absolutely no "bastard spirit" at all.
However, many factors such as work experience, military career, long-term perspective from a high position, talent, character, hobbies, interests, etc., combine to form a unique charm in such a person.
This makes him, no matter what kind of cultural foundation he has, consciously or unconsciously become an infectious, guiding person who can grasp the overall situation.
Even he himself can't do this. Anyway, at least he is sure that if this old man catches a KMT prisoner again and has a conversation like this, he will most likely be able to successfully instigate rebellion on the spot.
No wonder he has been a political commissar since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
However, it was not just Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan who were deceived in this conversation. On the other hand, Hong Yanwu was also very good at flattering Yang Yaohua.
Because don’t forget, Phoenix TV’s documentary summarized all the most glorious aspects of Yang Yaohua’s life.
Even if Hong Yanwu could remember seventy-seven or eighty-eight, talking about these things would still be the pride of Yang Yaohua's life. It could be regarded as a perfect answer to the saying of "Do what you like, and you will be embarrassed." And it has to be said that he asked
The issues are all critical, and even Han Shan, Moody, and Yang Weifan don't know about many of them.
So this kind of asking for advice actually inspired Yang Yaohua's conversational nature. The second half was almost the oral memoir of this old general.
If the nanny hadn't reminded me that it was time to take medicine, we would have been chatting until meal time.
At this time, not to mention that Moody was a little surprised, even Han Shan looked at Hong Yanwu with some inexplicable admiration.
I guess he thought Hong Yanwu had done his homework in advance. But he forgot one thing. Where could Hong Yanwu go to find out something that even his personal secretary didn't know?
