At noon, the old village chief still had not left.
When moving into a new house, you must drink wine, and the wine Wang Ke brought was the wine.
Professor Wen drank a little too much as before. After lunch, Wang Ke picked up Professor Wen and wanted to send him back to primary school.
"Well, I have to go back. I drank too much. Xiao Wang, squad leader, I'll stop by and help you send Professor Wen back." After the old village chief finished speaking, he and Wang Ke started arguing. Take Professor Wen back to primary school.
After Professor Wen was settled, Wang Ke said: "Old village chief, you went to talk to Professor Wen today, but you didn't get anything done."
"There's no rush, there's still time. The main reason is that I heard that we are going to dig out some sunken ships in the east and north of the village. They used to be sand pits, but now that they are expanded, part of the land will be enclosed. Each village in the village Our land is so precious and expensive, mainly because of the compensation. In half a month, our small reservoir and dam will start construction, and the labor force in the village is so tight that we can't spare any manpower to cooperate."
The old village chief did not avoid Wang Ke in these matters. In his eyes, Wang Ke was one of his own.
"Well, old village chief, these two things are very important to you. The migrant workers' matter is easy to handle, but I don't know if they have a land compensation plan in their archaeological excavation plan this time?"
"I will look for Professor Wen when he sobers up. Will you go back in the afternoon?"
"Yes, village chief. I'll say hello to my godfather and leave as soon as possible."
"It's great for your godfather to have you as his godson. He's closer than his biological son." The old village chief also drank a lot of wine. He was a little drunk when he was blown by the wind. He waved his hands and wanted to leave.
But his words raised countless questions for Wang Ke. Before dinner, the old village chief once said this when talking about buying chickens. At that time, Wang Ke saw a trace of melancholy flash in the eyes of his godfather Dong Pianfang. Moreover, the mysteries he had never spoken about before appeared again. He had only seen his daughter-in-law Cuilan, but never his son.
"Old village chief, there is something I have been holding in my heart. Where is my godfather's biological son? Why haven't I seen him?" When Wang Ke asked this question, he especially didn't want the old village chief to say something like "he is dead" .
"Oh, this is the pain in your godfather's heart. It's a bit embarrassing."
"What's wrong?" Wang Ke never expected this answer, and he immediately became alert.
The old village chief looked around and saw that there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said to Wang Ke: "Originally, his son was also a very good young man. He learned the skills from his father and learned from the experts. But now..."
"What's wrong now?"
"I'm telling you, don't make it public. Everyone in our village knows that he is currently in prison. He has been sentenced to ten years. There is a prison in the mountains beyond Baocheng, and he is serving his sentence there."
As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, Wang Ke stood there as if thunder struck his head.
"He, he, how could he be sentenced? Why?" Wang Ke was a little flustered and asked stuttering.
"It's hard to put it into words. Lao Dong's reputation is so good that no one in the village mentions it. Squad leader Xiao Wang, please be tight-lipped." After saying this, the old village chief staggered and walked away minding his own business.
Behind him, Wang Ke felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. How could it be such an answer?
It turns out that his godfather is the father of a reform-through-labor prisoner, a revolutionary soldier, and a squad leader who actively requested to join the party. He actually recognized such a godfather? ! If instructor Ding finds out, it's not a trivial matter, it's a matter of stance!
In those days, this was as fatal as having overseas connections or having a bad family background.
But godfather Dong Pian Fang has saved his life! The good things he did to himself and the reconnaissance team, one by one, flashed before his eyes one by one, just like a movie.
Delivering medicine to a platoon leader's left guard, carrying sheep to the army before the Spring Festival to ask for credit and condolences, including the black donkey given to him, delivering steamed buns to the reconnaissance squad, and treating him to a meal... This is full of strong Strong support for the military.
The worst thing is that now many people know that Dong Piaofang is their godfather.
Wang Ke stood in front of the elementary school, not knowing how to deal with the sudden news. And the most terrible thing is that he is also Ye Xianqian's godfather, and he even brought Ye Xianqian to his home for food and accommodation today.
Ye Qianpian, Ye Qianpian, it must be you who donated 500 yuan to repair the house, right?
Now Professor Wen, whom I rely on most, drank too much and couldn't wake up for a while. The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun was not around either, and he didn't even have anyone to discuss with.
How to do how to do?
Wang Ke's mind was spinning rapidly, his heart was so confused, and he had no idea for a while.
The first thing is, do you want to talk to Ye Qianqian? If told, she would move out immediately, which would definitely be a great harm to Dong Pianfang! But if he doesn't tell it, once he finds out in the end, will it affect his political life in the same way as himself?
The second is how to face it in the future? In particular, Professor Wen was still kept in the dark and had to second him to Nanshao Village. At that time, he didn't look up when he lowered his head. How should he deal with this relationship?
At this time, although it was afternoon, it was still a little hot standing in the sun. Wang Ke, who was hardly sweating, suddenly felt a little sweat on his forehead. It was definitely not sweat caused by heat.
well! Everything in life is hard to satisfy everyone’s expectations, but I hope it’s worthy of my heart.
Wang Ke suddenly remembered that in the letter sent to him by the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, his teacher had this sentence. The original intention was to be a man, stick to yourself, be worthy of others, and be worthy of the world.
As a book says: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but they remain in my Buddha's heart.
Since you recognize Dong Fangfang as your godfather, he is your godfather! As for his son breaking the law, that's his son's business, what does it have to do with his godfather?
But, but, not everyone knows them this way. The worst result may be that one's own party membership is far away, and one's own progress may end and die prematurely.
Two villains are fighting in my mind, both of them are making excuses, one is stating the pros and cons, and the other is talking about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.
In this way, he walked back to Dong Pianfang's new home in a daze and came to the gate.
"Boy, what are you thinking about!" A female voice holding her throat on the side of the road was imitating Dong Fangfang's voice and shouted loudly.
Wang Ke looked up and saw that it was the carefree Ye Qianqiang, with his hands on his hips and making fun of him. "But, I have to rush back right away."
As soon as he heard that Wang Ke was leaving, Ye Pianqian immediately said: "It's still early, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I have to walk for two and a half hours."
"No, I'll drive you."
Wang Ke suddenly remembered that they came by car this time. "Okay, you see me off, and we'll talk on the way."
When Ye Xianpian heard this, he immediately became happy. Brother Bing turns out to be a thermos, but he still has himself in his heart.
"Yeah!"
"I'll tell my godfather to bring my straw hat, satchel and water bottle." Wang Ke walked into the yard and walked inside. Dong Pianfang was walking out of the house. "Godfather, I'm leaving now. I have a mission tomorrow."
"Professor Dong, are you lying down? You drank too much."
"Well, he drank a little too much today."
"How are you leaving?"
"You just drove me away, very quickly."
"That's great."
Wang Ke said, taking out his straw hat, the kettle was already filled with water, and the bag was bulging. Wang Ke reached for the contents of his satchel.
"Don't pay for it. Those are the eggs Cuilan boiled for you. Just take it easy while you work outside. Your body and bones will suffer." Godfather Dong Pianfang explained.
"Well, godfather and godmother, I'm leaving first."
"Wait, wait for me." Ye Xian ran down from the second floor, holding a small package in his hand. "Godfather, I'm going to drive my soldier brother."
Wang Ke glared at her and spoke regardless of the occasion.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and walked directly to the elementary school, where the car was parked.
After walking more than ten steps, Wang Ke turned around and saw Mr. and Mrs. Dong Pianfang still standing in front of the small courtyard. Seeing him turn around, he waved again. Wang Ke had mixed feelings. Is this familiar courtyard and this godfather and godmother really going to stay away from him?
Turning around, he looked at Ye Qianpian, then at the small package in her hand, and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"It's for you, but it's a bit expensive. I'll give it to you later." Ye Xian deliberately let it slip.
Wang Ke didn't even think about it. Anyway, the things she bought were always unexpected, including the room card certificate she brought last time. It is simply not something that a soldier can have or want.
When we arrived at the elementary school, a medium-sized van was parked there. This is specially equipped for archeology by Jinmen University for Professor Wen and his colleagues, and the equipment on the car has already been moved. Ye Xianxian took out the key, turned on the ignition, then asked Wang Ke to get in the car and sit in the passenger seat.
The car drove out of Nanshao Village and drove east along the road. After driving a few kilometers, Ye stopped the car under the shade of a tree, unbuckled his seat belt and turned off the engine.
"Why don't you leave?" Wang Ke asked.
"Brother Bing, don't you want to have a conversation with me? What can you do when we get to your apple orchard?" Ye Pianchan winked at Wang Ke mischievously, and then handed over the small package he just took. "Hey, let's open it and take a look."
Wang Ke took it and held it hard. "What the hell?"
When I unwrapped it, I found that it was a very exquisite imported small camera. It was definitely not a bargain at first glance.
"Why did you give me this? The army doesn't allow soldiers to have this!" Wang Ke shouted.
"You will definitely need to use 135 film in the future."
"Why?"
"In the future, we will collect and organize information for archeology." Ye Qianqian said that she was already trying to arrange everything for Wang Ke in the future.
"No, you can keep such a valuable thing for yourself." Wang Ke flatly refused. In addition to having no place to keep it, he really couldn't have such a luxury. A piece of soap made him very passive last time he took a shower. I really don’t want to buy an imported camera now.
Wu Xiangyu once knitted a sweater for him with his own hands and didn't dare to ask for it. In doing so, he was simply testing the law by himself.
"There's something I don't know how to tell you." Wang Ke's expression was solemn at this time, and he thought about his godfather Dong Pianfang's son again. Now the fate of the two people will be tied together. In the last century, this kind of thing was very sensitive.
Seeing Wang Ke's solemn expression, Ye Qianqian also felt a trace of invisible pressure. This must be a very heavy thing.
"Brother Bing, don't you have something to say to me?"
It's really hard to open my mouth. Although Ye Pianqian is a university teacher, she is still a little girl after all. But this matter cannot be left unsaid.
"However, you must not make a fuss after hearing this. You must control it. You and I are now in a very, very embarrassing situation!"
"What's going on?"
Wang Ke made up his mind that the two of them must handle this matter together. "Do you know what the godfather's son does?"
