"My godfather's son, what's wrong with him?" Ye Qianqian obviously didn't expect this question.
"He is a prisoner in a labor camp and is serving his sentence."
"What? Who are you listening to? What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Qianqian was surprised, no less surprised than Wang Ke.
"It's what the old village chief said, so it shouldn't be wrong." Wang Ke looked at the stunned Ye Qianpian and said, "I have always wondered why my godfather's son never showed up even once after so many things happened. And he The old couple and Sister Cuilan never mentioned his son in front of us."
"How could such a good godfather have such a son?" Ye was still a little unwilling.
Wang Ke looked at her. Does the quality of his son have anything to do with his father? The quality of being a father has nothing to do with the quality of a son!
"What crime did the godfather's son commit?" Ye Qianqian asked again.
Wang Ke really didn't know, and he didn't ask. But no matter what crime he committed, he would definitely wear the label of a prisoner through labor.
"Does this have any impact on us?" Ye Qianqian asked again. She blinked. Suddenly she realized it, pointed at Wang Ke and said: "Brother Bing, this is very important to you, the military political review..."
Wang Ke nodded and said, "By the way, this is also important to you." In those days, it was too late to hide from such social relationships, so how could you dare to take the initiative to lean forward? Unless you want to ask for trouble and embarrassment!
"Yes, yes." Ye Xianqian also thought of it. The university is also advocating that young teachers should take a popular and professional development path. They can't just lower their heads and pull the cart without knowing how to raise their heads to see the road. How many experts took the wrong position when they were anti-rightists? If you join the team and suffer this loss, your life history cannot have any stain.
"What should we do? Should I move out?" Ye Qianqian also became nervous.
Wang Ke shook his head. The two young men fell into silence at the same time.
The godfather is a nice person, but his background is terrible and his reputation is terrible.
"Brother Bing, if this is not the case, I will continue and you give up!" Ye Qianqian meant that she would continue to maintain this relationship and keep Wang Ke away. As soon as the words came out, she suddenly shook her head and said repeatedly: "No, no, no!"
Wang Ke was even more surprised. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. You never know what she is thinking?
Why Ye Qianqian said no was because she suddenly thought that there was another person who also recognized Dong Pianfang as his godfather, who was Wu Xiangyu. She is also a soldier and is about to be promoted.
Have you ever seen such a small novel? It was cold and there was a beggar on the roadside. Seeing you walking by, he held out the bowl tremblingly. "Boss, please help me." After thinking for a moment, you silently took the bowl and squatted next to him.
If I do this now, doesn't it mean that I have pushed the two of them together?
"Both of us give up! I'll move out when I get back." Ye Qianqian suddenly remembered that if Wang Ke did it in the future, she and Wang Ke would get together. According to the rules of the army, marriage requires a political review. If she has such a Godfather is also troublesome.
Wang Ke shook his head and hesitated very much.
Ye Qianqian patted the steering wheel and said: "There is another way. We don't care about it. If someone investigates us, you will be discharged from the army. Uncle Wen has made up his mind to dig you into the Institute of Archeology of our university. You can go to study instead. , it won’t be bad.”
Wang Ke glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"This won't work, that won't work. Brother Bing, you have to think of a perfect solution quickly." Ye Qianxian slapped the horn again with his hand, and there was a "beep" sound.
"Maintain the status quo first, and nothing can happen until we make a final decision." Wang Ke bit his lip and said to Ye Qianqian. He himself felt that without further delay, he must meet with the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun as soon as possible and ask him to give him an idea.
"By the way, you take me back to the barracks, and I'll go find the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun and see what he says?"
"Okay." With that said, Ye started the van and drove quickly towards the barracks.
When they arrived at the Lettuce Barracks, Wang Ke asked Ye Xianxian to park the car in front of the headquarters and sit in the car to wait for him. He quickly ran to the duty room of the headquarters. There was a phone there, and he didn't know if Hu Zhijun was there?
"Report."
"Come in!"
"Reporting to the leader, I am Wang Ke, the reconnaissance squad leader of the artillery company of the direct team. I would like to find Staff Officer Hu of the artillery unit."
"He, he went to the Xishan Front Station, and the troops will be stationed for training soon. Didn't your company just come back yesterday? Don't you know?"
ah! Wang Ke really didn't expect that the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun would enter the mountain and was a little disappointed. But the company also came back from Nanshao Village, which made Wang Ke feel relieved. The fewer people who knew about his godfather, the better.
"Thank you, chief, I'm going back." Wang Ke stood at attention, gave a bare-handed salute, touched his legs, turned back with a "pop", and turned around to leave.
He walked to the car, thought for a moment, opened the passenger door, got in the car and said to Ye Qianqian: "Let's go, the old platoon leader is not here, he has gone to Xishan. If you send me back to the apple orchard, you should go back early." Bar."
Ye Xianxian started the car, and she felt very heavy.
The two of them were silent along the way. In fact, Wang Ke didn't know that his godfather was a reform-through-labor prisoner. One of the company cadres actually knew it, and that was deputy company commander Lu Zeran. At this time, Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran was also struggling in his heart. This was a matter of principle. Should he tell Wang Ke or the company about this matter?
Deputy company commander Lu Zeran knew about this because he helped the family of the security director of Nanshao Village to steal seeds.
The conservation director's family wants to grow some alfalfa and soybeans. After dinner, deputy company commander Lu Zeran took a few soldiers from the wireless squad and went to help. After finishing the work, on the way back, we talked about Wang Ke.
Speaking of Wang Ke, the security director was full of praise. Finally, when talking about his godfather Dong's folk prescription, the security director let out a long sigh and said: "Old Dong didn't tell us in our village that his son was not living up to expectations. He recognized Squad Leader Wang as his godson. That's right. The blessing he gained from his previous life."
Deputy company commander Lu Zeran was stunned and stopped. "Why don't you live up to your expectations?"
The director of security also looked around. He was not a talkative person. He thought to himself that since the army would leave in a few days, it would be okay to say it. He said: "I have been in prison for ten years. If it weren't for the old Dong Well, his wife Cuilan has remarried long ago."
Deputy company commander Lu Zeran was stunned. Dong Pianfang’s son was a prisoner in a labor camp! That's great. He immediately thought of Wang Ke. You are too careless. How can you accept the father of a reform-through-labor prisoner as your godfather? I was still struggling with the issue of joining the party just now. Isn’t this another excuse for me to give to the instructor?
Back at the elementary school, deputy company commander Lu Zeran went to find Wang Ke, only to find that the Perak surveying and mapping team had moved away before noon. He didn't know where they had moved to, and he didn't know even if he asked the wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe.
When Wang Ke went to the duty room of the headquarters to look for the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, deputy company commander Lu Zeran was also looking for Hu Zhijun.
Hu Zhijun is Wang Ke's old platoon leader and a more trustworthy comrade-in-arms of Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran. Both of them are the most enthusiastic leaders for Wang Ke's growth. In addition, deputy company commander Lu Zeran has always felt that he owed Wang Ke. He had saved himself before, but he had not helped in many aspects such as joining the party. Last time he asked for leave, he went through such a big circle.
So this time, he had to find a way to get the best of both worlds for Wang Ke. And he and Hu Zhijun are his "senior advisers".
Hu Zhijun went to Xishan to check out the front station and select the training venue for this year's army regimental artillery company. He has just arrived at Longquanzhuang. Their contact with the barracks was through radio.
The deputy company commander found the deputy company commander of the communications company and asked him to do a favor, send a telegram to Hu Zhijun, and find a convenient place for the two of them to talk on the phone. There is another brothers camp 20 kilometers away from them, where there is a military line.
But where does the military line return? It's definitely not appropriate to go back to the company headquarters, nor is it appropriate to go to any other place with a lot of people. After much deliberation, deputy company commander Lu Zeran thought of Han, the assistant manager of the direct team, who had his own office, and there was no one at night. So the telegram agreed that at seven o'clock in the evening, Hu Zhijun would call back to the office of the direct team coordinator Han.
A little after six o'clock, deputy company commander Lu Zeran came to the regimental office building after dinner and went up to the second floor with the key given to him by Coordinator Han. He opened a room to the north and turned on the light. He sat there, waiting for Hu Zhijun's call.
At seven o'clock, the phone on the table rang. Sure enough, Hu Zhijun called from the camp of the Friendship Regiment.
The two exchanged a few words and immediately got down to business. When deputy company commander Lu Zeran told Hu Zhijun about the situation he had learned, Hu Zhijun exploded on the other end of the phone. "How could you be so careless? Who do you think you are? Isn't this playing the piano randomly?"
"He saved Wang Ke's life!" Both of them spoke a bit loudly, but fortunately there was no one in the silent office building at this time.
"So what if it's a life-saving grace? This is a matter of stance!"
"Yes, yes! I think so too. Wang Ke is very kind to Shao Village in Quannan. Does he want to be the godson of everyone in the village? But this Dong folk prescription is different. He is indeed very supportive of the army. , donated so many things to our company, including breastfeeding for the child of the left platoon leader, including..."
"Lao Lu, we can't just consider whether there is favor or not. This is a matter of position. Has his joining the party been resolved? He will still have to work in the future, and..."
"Old Hu, you don't need to say it. I know that Wang Ke has made so many contributions, but he can't even join the party. If the godfather's matter cannot be properly resolved, it will not only affect the relationship between the military and the people, but also affect the growth of a good soldier, so Aren't we thinking of a solution together? Let him, Wang Ke, be more decisive and deal with this matter ruthlessly. He must not spread it to the company or the regiment, and let people know that he has a godfather who is a reform-through-labor prisoner! "
As soon as he said this, there was a sudden knock on the door of Coordinator Han's office.
"Lao Hu, wait a minute. There is a knock on the door. Let's talk at another time and keep it confidential." Deputy company commander Lu Zeran didn't wait for Hu Zhijun's reply, immediately put down the phone and hurried to open the door.
When he opened the door and took a look, Deputy Company Commander Lu Zeran was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Standing at the door were Political Commissar Fan and the Director of the Political Department of the regiment. Looking at this scene, they had been listening at the door for a while.
"You asked others to pay attention to confidentiality. Your voice can be heard even on the third floor." Political Commissar Fan walked in first, followed by Director Ji. They held a standing committee meeting tonight to study the matter of representatives participating in the division party congress. Passing by here, I heard the loud voice of deputy company commander Lu Zeran, so I came to take a look. As soon as they heard it was about Wang Ke, the two of them listened for a while longer.
The deputy company commander quickly stood at attention and saluted, shouting in his heart, it's over, it's over, Wang Ke has been hurt badly now.
"Lu Zeran, you are on the phone with Hu Zhijun, you two are really a pair of blind advisers!" Director Ji looked very angry.
