Chapter 207 The two old grudges
After leaving the bookstore, less than two hundred meters east of Xisi Lane, the first one to turn into the entrance of the alley is the Cui family.
It is also a unique courtyard in Yanjing. The yard is clean and clean. Some potted plants of flowers and plants, terrazzo eaves, and small lattice glass-built wooden doors. There is no other particularly conspicuous place. Compared with ordinary people, the biggest feature is that the yard is very spacious.
The main hall in the center is open to the yard with the door open. There is a man in a navy uniform talking on the phone with his back to the yard. He is not tall, but his shoulders are very deep, which is very similar to Mr. Cui Xiangdong.
Because the person's backs were facing the yard, he could not see the eaves and the emblem, and Chen Huai could not confirm that this person was Cui Yongping, the eldest son of Mr. Cui.
Speaking of Cui Xiangdong, it is also very strange that Cui Yongping and his son’s general elections were passed down.
Cui Xiangdong was one of the main generals of the Yellow Sea Fleet in his early years. Before ten years of turmoil, he served as the commander of the Yellow Sea Fleet. He was the first to be affected in the early days and resumed work in 1974. However, in 1975, a serious leak occurred in the Yellow Sea Fleet. Cui Xiangdong took responsibility. He was severely accused by the Military Commission at that time and was removed from his post. He has never held a post as a naval leader since then.
However, Cui Xiangdong's eldest son Cui Yongping was not affected by this incident at all. He has always been in a state of progress in the navy. At this time, he was under the rank of major general and deputy director of the Navy Equipment Department with the position of deputy military officer.
"You dare not ask. I will go to find someone named Ding tomorrow, and I will allocate this little money. How to repair the twenty-three large ships on Huang Yang's sea?" The middle-aged man's tone was not so kind, as if he was arguing with the other party.
Cui Xiangdong coughed gently and nodded to the driver and guard in the yard. The middle-aged man put down the phone and turned around when he heard the movement. Seeing his face clearly, his face was the same as Cui Xiangdong, Chen Huai confirmed that he was Major General Cui Yongping, deputy director of the Navy Equipment Department at this time.
Cui Yongping shouted, "Dad, you said you were going out for a walk, why are you back?" He looked at Chen Huai, who came back with his father in confusion, wanted to ask, but didn't ask.
Cui Xiangdong had a clear understanding of his son's nature. He did not say why he turned it back, but pointed at Chen Huai in a voice and said, "He is the son of Song Bingsheng, the fourth son of the Song family."
Cui Yongping just nodded to Chen Huai. Although he could not tell how strong he had to fight the Song family on his face, he was quite indifferent. Chen Huai could at least confirm that the relationship between the Song and Cui families could not be considered harmonious.
"Come in with me." Cui Xiangdong had no intention of saying anything to his son, so he asked Chen Huai to go in with him.
Chen Huai could only follow Mr. Cui into the side room, and when he walked in, he saw that there was a bedroom inside.
It was very simple inside, with a bed, a table and a cabinet. If the net bag that Mr. Cui had not carried with him on the train was placed on the table beside the bed, Chen Huai would hardly believe that this was Mr. Cui's bedroom.
Cui Xiangping walked to the table, untied the net bag, took out two glass cans from it, handed it to Chen Huai, and said, "The day after tomorrow is Song Hua's 80th birthday, give him these two things..."
Chen Huai took the canned bottle and looked like it was filled with tea. It looked a little broken, and he was even more confused. The master in front of him kept saying that he would not recognize the old man of the Song family, and he looked like he had a serious grudge against the Song family and had a deep grudge. Why did he ask him to take two bottles of tea back as a gift?
Chen Huai thought that Cui Xiangdong seemed to be particularly resentful to his second uncle Song Qiaosheng, and thought to himself that the Song family was the second uncle Song Qiaosheng offended the old man in front of him, so that the two families could not even be ashamed of their shame if they wanted to get along?
Chen Huai had a grudge against the Song family before, so he could not have a fair evaluation. At this time, his impression of the Song family was vague. Even if there were some impressions, they were unreliable.
Chen Huai didn't go into delving into the grudges between Cui and Song families. As a junior, he couldn't refuse the small demands of Cui Xiangdong just asked him to bring two bottles of tea, even if it was a more demanding one.
"Do you have any other instructions?" Chen Huai asked again.
"It's gone, you go back," Cui Xiangdong said simply. With a wave of his hand, he wanted to rush Chen Huai away after using it. However, in front of Shen Huailin's door, he said again, "There are so many people in the Song family, and only you guys look authentic..."
Listening to Mr. Cui’s praise, Chen Huai didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Seeing Mr. Cui no longer having sex with him, he could only say goodbye and leave first.
He happened to rush Cui Yongping out of the yard. When he saw Chen Huai coming out, he nodded as before, without much expression on his face. He was just greeting him and went straight into the black Audi car and left.
Chen Huai took two cans of tea and returned to the bookstore at the entrance of the alley. The owner had tied the books he wanted to buy with a plastic rope.
"This is a book list. You can take apart the book after you go back and compare it to see if the money is calculated wrong," the owner handed the book list to Chen Huai, and explained the reason for the high total price, saying, "The several books you have chosen are original foreign languages, and the price is relatively higher..."
Chen Huai expressed his understanding and chatted with the owner for a few words. He found out that the owner's surname was Tan. He was really a professor who retired from Yan University in recent years. Because of his health, he retired to recuperate when he was old. He did not continue to teach at school, nor did he spend much energy to do his studies.
While chatting, a phone call came in and urged the owner to go back for dinner. Chen Huai then took the tea and said goodbye to leave.
At this time, the sunset had just sunk. Through the narrow door, you could see the burning clouds in the west as bright as brocade. Chen Huai took a taxi to his sister-in-law Song Wenhui arranged an apartment for him in the family area of the Ministry of Electric Power. After all, he had walked away on the pretext of going to the city office to meet with officials from Donghua, so it was not convenient to bring this large stack of books directly back to his sister-in-law's house.
Chen Huai had dinner casually and walked back to Xisi Lane at the family building of the Ministry of Electric Power. When he passed by the bookstore, he saw a pretty girl wearing a floral dress standing under the lamp in the inner room, but he didn't see Professor Tan.
I don’t know if this girl is what Professor Tan mentioned as “Little Wu”. Chen Huai did not go into the bookstore again, but went straight back to his sister-in-law’s house.
Song Wenhui and Tang Jianmin had already returned home and saw Chen Huai holding two canned bottles, which was quite strange.
Chen Huai explained the reason to them, and asked again afterwards: "The old man of the Cui family seems to be a little resentful to his second uncle. What's going on?"
Song Wenhui was clear about the past. Since Chen Huai asked about it, there was no need to hide it. She sighed lightly and said, "Two things happened. One was that Mr. Cui was criticized and fought in 607, and it had something to do with your second uncle. However, the storm quickly involved our Song family, so there was no right or wrong. The other was the leak of the Yellow Sea Fleet. Your second uncle participated in the investigation of the incident at that time and attributed the entire incident to Mr. Cui, which played some role. Because of these two things, the relationship between the two families has never been considered good..."
Chen Huai nodded as if he had some understanding, thinking that Cui Xiangdong was only about 60 years old to remove his position as the commander of the fleet. Because he had done something behind his second uncle Song Qiaosheng, he was idle since then. Seeing his former colleagues one by one take up positions at the military district level or even higher, how could he be able to relieve his resentment?
For example, if he uses means to get Tan Qiping out of the position of Secretary of the Donghua Municipal Party Committee, and Tan Qiping does not hate him to the core, he will be a ghost.
At this time, Cui Xiangdong could ask him to bring two cans of tea leaves to the old man as a gift. He was considered a person with a broad mind. I don’t know that Cui Yongping was promoted to major general in the naval system in the later period. Is there anyone in the central government to make up for the Cui family?
Chen Huai thought that his second uncle Song Qiaosheng was only 35 or 36 years old at that time, and as for participating in the investigation of the leaked incident in the Yellow Sea Fleet that year, he should not be the key person in charge. He had no idea what kind of mentality he was doing and what tricks he used to mess with Cui Xiangdong.
Chen Huai knew that even if his sister-in-law knew about these secrets, she would not tell him in full, and would not ask anything.
A small Donghua City has such a surging undercurrent, so the central government naturally cannot be a harmonious cohesion. The situation of the central faction is much more complicated than imagined. In addition to the independent system of the four major field armies, it has a great relationship with the many movements before and after the founding of the country within the party and the large proportion of underground parties to local party and government officials after the liberation.
"My sister-in-law, then you go to grandpa's place tomorrow and bring these two cans of tea from Mr. Cui..." Chen Huai said.
"Since Mr. Cui is entrusting you, then you can just give it to the old man the day after tomorrow." Song Wenhui said. She knew that Chen Huai had no status in the Song family because of the past, so that others could know that Cui Xiangdong actually entrusted Chen Huai to send congratulations to the old man, which would make people look at him with admiration.
"Okay." Chen Huai nodded, agreed, and asked about the bookstore at Alleykou. "Professor Tan from Xisixiang Bookstore seems to be very clear about the grudge between the Cui family and our Song family. How could he open a bookstore at Alleykou?"
"You said Professor Tan, he is Ji Lianyun's son-in-law." Song Wenhui said.
Chen Huai was secretly talking, but he didn't expect Professor Tan to be this identity.
Although Lian Yun was no longer in the leadership position of the central government in the 1992 years old, there were two people in the current central leadership team that Ji Lianyun promoted. It can be said that they are still powerful figures who play a decisive role in the current political situation. Some non-party analysts call the central government and officials who occupy some important positions in the province and city in the localities as Ji.
Chen Huai didn't expect that Ji Lianyun's son-in-law would stay in the alley after retirement from Yanda to run a bookstore, but it was normal to think about it. Not everyone was obsessed with the officialdom. Chen Huai thought that his uncle Tang Jianmin would go out and might be regarded as an ordinary middle-aged doctor with ordinary medical skills. Professor Tan would not want to be involved in a deeper political whirlpool and run a bookstore without losing his own self-protection.
