Faced with this brother-in-law who was not very good at chatting, Zhang Tianhai seemed to have no other option but to be patient.
"What...Second brother, how about I take you into the gendarmerie of our regiment and detain you for a period of time? Maybe you can understand my state of mind at that time." Zhang Tianhai had a thick smile on his face, He was obviously very excited about the idea.
The smile on Zhang Tianhai's face was so thick that it made Zheng Yuming's face feel horrified.
It is true that Zheng Yuming worked for the Wuhan Municipal Government of the National Government, but he was still a little timid when facing officers like Zhang Tianhai - there is a saying that when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain clearly.
In the living room of the Zheng family mansion, the two of them were staring at each other.
Even the surrounding halls with some ancient Western-style decorations have a somewhat solemn atmosphere...
"Ahem, brother-in-law. We are a family after all. Just think about such boring things." Zheng Yuming coughed, obviously choked by Zhang Tianhai's thoughts.
"It's okay. If you have such a need, just ask. As for the city government, I'm here to take care of it. It's impossible for your chief to find me so quickly to get someone. I can guarantee this." Zhang Tianhai's eyes were very clear and clean, and he was trying to induce Zheng Yuming, for fear that the latter would not be fooled...
"Forget it. Let's talk about something else!" Zheng Yuming was shocked. If he wasn't a fool, he probably wouldn't agree to this request.
Obviously, Zheng Yuming is not a fool.
For this reason, Zhang Tianhai felt extremely regretful...
After a while, Zheng Yuming urinated and escaped.
At this moment, there was a ring at the door, and an old man who looked to be in his sixties walked in. The old man's clothes could be described as "brocade hat and mink fur."
This old man looked like he came from a rich and noble family. He had an inexplicable aura of nobility about him. Even the crutch in his hand looked very valuable.
No matter what, no matter who this person was, Zhang Tianhai felt that he had to get up and greet him, as the son-in-law of the Zheng family.
After Zhang Tianhai stood up, he discovered that the old man still had a long beard. Not to mention that the beard was gray, even the hair on his head was mostly white.
Only those eyes were still very sharp, and there was a sense of clarity.
This old man is not simple.
This was Zhang Tianhai's first impression of the old man who walked in.
As for the old man, after he approached the hall, his eyes had been looking at Zhang Tianhai. The slight frown showed that he was not familiar with this young man, but his intuition told him that this young man Maybe it has something to do with their family.
"Excuse me, who are you?" This was the first thing the old man asked after entering the door.
Zhang Tianhai was not sure who the old man was, so he politely replied: "My name is Zhang Yulin, and I am the son-in-law of the Zheng family."
"Oh? The Zheng family's son-in-law? I've never seen him before." The old man walked to the chair in the living room and sat down on crutches.
"Old man, it's like this. I have been working in the frontline troops and rarely come back. So it's normal that you don't know me." Zhang Tianhai introduced himself gracefully.
"The frontline troops..." The old man tapped his cane with his index finger, his face moving slightly, "Which army is it?"
"Our unit is a security force affiliated to the Ninth War Zone. As for which unit it is, I cannot comment. This is a military secret." The smile on Zhang Tianhai's face was still calm, and it seemed that he was not because he was telling the truth. It feels rude to tell someone.
"Military secrets? Haha, that's an excellent reason. Okay, I'll remember you, you passed the test." The old man laughed heartily, and kept staring at Zhang Tianhai, staring at the latter for a while. Psychologically hairy.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Zhang Tianhai asked tentatively.
"I, Zheng Boqu." The old man's self-introduction was also very simple, just five words.
"Zheng Boqu... Zheng Boqu..." Obviously, Zhang was very unfamiliar with this name.
Seeing Zhang Tianhai's confused look, Zheng Boqu's head was covered with black lines, and he raised the cane in his hand: "I am your Yue Laozi!"
"Laozi Yue?!" Zhang Tianhai exclaimed. He thought of everything except that the old man in front of him turned out to be his father-in-law.
However, Zhang Tianhai's reaction was quite quick, and he quickly stepped forward and bowed to Zheng Boqu: "Please allow me to introduce myself again. My son-in-law, Zhang Tianhai, named Yulin, lives in Nanluo Alley, Wuchang County, and is a native of Wuhan. Currently serving in the 1st Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone, taking up the position of colonel commander. I have now introduced myself."
Not to mention, Zhang Tianhai looked like he was wearing this Zhongshan disguise and bowing.
Generally speaking, Zheng Boqu was very satisfied with his son-in-law: tall, mighty, handsome, and most importantly, he was a young and promising colonel officer. At a young age, he led thousands of troops to fight the Japanese army on the front line.
"Okay, sit down! I heard from our Xiaoman that you also performed well on the front line, and you are pretty good for our Xiaoman." Zheng Boqu made a specific evaluation of Zhang Tianhai's performance. .
These words of the old father-in-law represent his future attitude.
This is no ordinary old father-in-law... this is a towering tree...
As long as Zheng Boqu stands up and speaks out, it will be much better.
Although Zheng Man didn't mention his father's identity much, Zhang Tianhai couldn't help but pay attention to it.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand this. This understanding is shocking: this old man is not an ordinary bad old man. He is not only an important military and political member of the Kuomintang, but also a veteran of the Tongmenghui. He is more junior than people like Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, so that’s it. The kind that is not much tender!
Therefore, Zhang Tianhai not only respects Zheng Boqu, but also respects him more.
Although Zhang Tianhai is not the kind of person who always wants to rely on connections to get through the back door, sometimes, having certain connections can avoid a lot of trouble.
"Father-in-law, thank you. I am kind to Xiaoman, and that is my duty. It is the obligation of a husband." On this point, Zhang Tianhai told the truth, and did not deliberately pretend or create anything. .
When Zhang Tianhai said this, his eyes were very clear and did not seem to be fake. Zheng Boqu saw all this in his eyes.
"I believe you." This was Zheng Boqu's attitude.
Before Zhang Tianhai could speak, Zheng Boqu said: "Sit down!"
"Hey." Zhang Tianhai responded, and then sat on the opposite side, the two of them looked at each other across the bank.
"Do you still remember what happened in Zhengzhou last time?" Zheng Boqu asked Zhang Tianhai.
"I am reporting to my father-in-law that this incident left a very deep impression on me and I will not forget it at all." Zhang Tianhai said truthfully.
Zheng Boqu touched the nanmu crutch in his hand and said, "That's it! You need to have a longer memory and see your position clearly."
Zheng Boqu's short words made Zhang Tianhai understand: It turned out that he could be released because of his father-in-law's efforts.
There are some things that don’t need to be said too much, as long as you can understand them clearly.
