Chapter 125: The Romance of Dunjia

On the first day of class, the old white-haired professor gave us officers from all units of the army a warning. After several common sense questions about our army's political work, there were very few people who could answer them accurately and accurately. Of course, I was no exception. I had never done political work before, and when I was a company commander in the company, I was not very interested in political studies. It would be good to know some basic things.

This also made me put away my contempt. Since I decided to work in the Political Department, I must regard this study as an opportunity to improve myself. This does not take too much energy for me. After all, my memory and understanding abilities are there! As long as I am correct, there will be no problem with learning!

The professor is the professor. He can actually explain the obscure and difficult political theory in a very interesting way. In his extensive quotation, everyone has unknowingly remembered the theoretical articles that they usually can't remember - of course this refers to other people. I want to remember nothing if I can't remember...

Before I knew it, three hours passed in a flash. When I walked out of the classroom, I realized that today was the first time I had been so devoted to political studies since I joined the army. As I thought about it, I couldn't help but blush. The first sentence in our army's "five sentences for the general requirements" is "political qualification"! It seems that I have to work harder in the future!

As soon as I walked out of the teaching building, I saw Zhong Jie waiting there. After she saw me coming out, she walked towards me happily and said to me with a smile:

"How is it, Chief Lu, it's not bad to relive it as a student?"

I was in a relaxed mood at this moment and couldn't help but say jokingly:

"Yes! It's really good, why? My little sister is waiting for me here. Are you going to treat me to a meal?"

Zhong Jie curled her lips and said:

"Where can I invite our Section Chief Lu! I was ordered to come here to treat you today. I wonder if our old man has a great face and can he invite Section Chief Lu to visit his humble house..."

When I heard that Mr. Zhong invited me, I quickly said:

"Grandpa is free today? Okay, let's go! I haven't seen him for a long time!"

I have always respected this wise old man. Since I was a student, he has always been optimistic about me and supported my decision as always. Even if my decision and his ideas go against him, he chose to support me unconditionally. It can be said that I will never repay his kindness in my life!

When Zhong Jie saw my anxious look, she couldn't help but smile:

"I have known you for so long, and it's the first time I've seen you so anxious! When I go back, my grandfather hasn't gotten off work yet! Besides, can you come to the door empty-handed? What will my grandfather think: 'This kid hasn't met for several months. Today I'm seeing me come empty-handed. I'm really ignorant!"

Although I knew my grandfather would never mind this, I should buy some gifts for reason, so I said:

"What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly! Officer Zhong, don't you mind accompanying me to choose a gift, right?"

Zhong Jie said with a smile:

"Willing to serve!"

Although I couldn't even tell the difference between the south and south in Beijing, under the leadership of Zhong Jie, I didn't bother to remember the road - she couldn't sell me! After a while, we came to an antique trading market. According to Zhong Jie's words, if I found a good thing here, my grandfather would like it very much. Moreover, she proudly claimed to be an expert in appreciation and would not be deceived and bought fakes. There was no way, and she had to follow her - let me buy gifts by myself, and I couldn't even find the way back.

We wandered between the stalls, and the traitors saw us wearing military uniforms and didn't greet us much. After all, in this era, being a soldier is almost equal to having no money. Perhaps in their opinion, even if I was willing to let them slaughter, they wouldn't make much money.

A few people greeted us enthusiastically and took out their so-called "collection" for us to show us. However, after seeing it, Zhong Jie immediately sneered and showed off her rich antique knowledge in front of me...

After walking like this for nearly half an hour, we got nothing. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, I asked:

"My sister, if you continue to search like this, you may not be able to buy something satisfactory in one day!"

Zhong Jie said lightly:

"What's the rush? Such things are hard to come by. I didn't say that I could buy any good things. If I really can't find them, just buy some tea leaves that last time fooled my grandfather. He was very satisfied..."

I looked at Zhong Jie who was excited and laughed and cried. Only then did I realize that I was fooled. She didn't buy any gifts for me! She was just pulling me to accompany her to the antique market, but I really couldn't tell that a girl like her would like this. I smiled bitterly and continued to wander aimlessly behind Zhong Jie.

At this time, I found that there was a special stall. It was not as full of various toys like other places. There was only one thing here, that is, books. Of course, the sales of ancient books here are all ancient books - at least they looked relatively simple. I grabbed Zhong Jie, who was about to continue walking forward and said:

"Little sister, I'll read these books."

Zhong Jie looked back at the books on the stall and said:

"What's so good about this? I still like porcelain. There is a good shop in front of me. I can find good things almost every time I come here. Let's go there quickly!"

I don't know why, but I insisted:

"Then little sister, please wait for me first! I want to read the book!"

Zhong Jie said helplessly:

"Okay, I'll accompany you. If I really go to the front, what should I do if you get lost?"

When I heard this, I almost got crazy. When she heard it, she completely treated me as a child...

I was too lazy to argue with this rude little girl, so I walked straight to the front of the stall. The boss was a gray-bearded old man wearing a pair of reading glasses and was looking at an ancient book in his hand. When he saw me coming, he just raised his eyelids and continued reading his book, as if he was here to read books rather than doing business.

I didn't mind either, but just picked up a few books and flipped through them. I couldn't find a very satisfactory book. There were not many books on this book stall, and it was obvious that the boss was negligent in management, so there were very few people. I was a little disappointed after reading it for a while. At this time, Zhong Jie said:

"Let's go Changfeng, what's so good about this book? The few ancient books in my grandfather's study are ten times that here!"

After hearing this, I had already begun to think about leaving, but instead changed my mind, because Mr. Zhong’s ancient books mostly mean that he likes to collect them. If I could find a good book for him, the old man would definitely be very happy, so I said without raising my head:

"I'll take a look later!"

At this moment, a simple book suddenly came into my eyes. The yellowed cover was written in traditional Chinese with four big characters "Dunjia Romance". It seemed to be an ancient book about formations. Although I was not interested in formations at all, I fell in love with this book at first sight. I reached out and looked at it carefully. The pages had already burrs, and the traces left by time could be vaguely seen. I had a desire to own this book for no matter how much it cost...

Without even wondering why I had such an idea, I picked up the book "Romance of Dunjia" and asked:

"Boss, how do you sell this book?"

The boss looked up again at the book in my hand and said without raising his head:

"Three thousand dollars!"

Zhong Jie beside me exclaimed loudly:

"You want to sell for a broken book for 3,000 yuan? Are you daydreaming or getting nervous?"

This time, the boss didn't even raise his eyelids, but just focused on the book in his hand. He didn't seem to hear Zhong Jie's words. I stopped Zhong Jie with my eyes. Without saying a word, I took out my wallet and counted 3,000 yuan to hand it to the boss. When I was a child, my family was poor, but later I became a little financially a little rich, and I developed the bad habit of carrying a lot of cash on my body. It seemed that this would make me feel safe.

I said:

"Boss, I want this book!"

The boss put down the book in his hand, then picked up my money and threw it into the small box next to him, and said:

"The book belongs to you!"

Then I turned around and picked up the book and read it. Zhong Jie next to me was almost mad. Where can I do business like this? I smiled tolerantly. It’s nothing if the older people have a weird temper. I said to Zhong Jie:

"Okay, let's go! Let's go ahead and take a look. What can I buy for my grandfather?"

Zhong Jie asked in surprise:

"It turns out that you have been choosing for a long time and didn't you buy it for grandpa?"

I said with a smile:

"You also said that the sea of ​​ancient books in my grandfather's study room is here. What's the point of buying this for him? I bought it myself to play with it. Let's take a look at what strange things are there!"

When she talked about this, Zhong Jie was immediately excited again. She pulled me to run to the antique shop she mentioned...

After enduring Zhong Jie's bragging for an hour, she finally spent a lot of money to buy a pair of jade rings under her suggestion and left the quaint shop like she ran away. From the boss's satisfied smile, I knew that Zhong Jie was not as clever as she said...

But if I don’t choose a gift, I don’t have time to visit Mr. Zhong, so I swear in my heart:

"In the future, different girls will go shopping together, especially the antique street..."

I really don’t know what it is wrong to like such a beautiful girl, but I like many of these things that are dug out of the grave. However, after touching the book in my arms, I felt a little balanced. At least I bought what I like. I don’t know what the book is for. However, I have always been rigorous in thinking and feel that it’s good to follow me once occasionally!

She returned to her house in Zhong Jie's car - she still bought the car as I imagined, but she was not as luxurious as using a sports car. On the contrary, she drove a small Chery QQ, a very cheap model, but it was quite suitable for girls to drive.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mr. Zhong sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. I quickly stood at attention, then saluted him and shouted:

"grandfather!"

The old man Zhong took his eyes away from the newspaper and looked through his reading glasses. Then he put down the newspaper, with a smile on his face, and he said:

"Changfeng, you are here! Come, come, come! Sit down!"

I walked to the sofa beside Mr. Zhong and sat down. Mr. Zhong pointed to the coffee table and said:

"Smoke!"

I followed Mr. Zhong's hand and saw a pack of soft Chinese and a beautiful ashtray on the coffee table. The cigarette was not open. I knew Mr. Zhong didn't smoke normally. It seemed that this was specially prepared for me. I was moved, but I was not so ignorant that I could smoke in front of my elders and let him smoke second-hand smoke. I quickly waved my hand and said:

"No, grandpa."

After saying that, I took out the pair of rings I bought at the antique market and said:

"Grandpa, today I saw that this pair of rings was pretty good and pretty. I bought them for you to play with!"

Old Zhong smiled and took the gift, took a look, then put it on the coffee table, and then said:

"You don't have to buy any gifts when you come to me. Just order them casually!"

I quickly said:

"It wasn't something I bought on purpose, but I bought it casually when I saw it!"

Zhong Jie, who was standing behind Mr. Zhong, made a "contempt" gesture at me, and I had to smile bitterly and pretend that I didn't see it.

Grandpa said with a smile:

"Changfeng! You have done a good job in the past few months! After several leaders of your army learned about our relationship last time, they often called me to report your situation!"

I smiled faintly, I knew that if it weren't for my grandfather's relationship, even if I had the ability to be in heaven, I wouldn't have been able to rise so quickly with great credit! I knew that my grandfather was an upright leader, and he wouldn't have said anything to care for me, but the leaders of the troops below were all keen people. Since I knew the relationship between me and Mr. Zhong, it would be strange if my improvement was not fast! What's more, due to the unified action this time, Mr. Zhong also decided to let me take the position of the head of the security department, which would be more conducive to the development of the action at that time. So everything was natural.

So I said:

"Working hard work is one aspect, but these are inseparable from grandpa's concern!"

Grandpa laughed:

"Changfeng, you have become modest!"

I also said with a smile:

"Grandpa, this is called self-knowledge!"

Mr. Zhong said with emotion:

"Every time I see you, I can clearly feel your change! Unconsciously, you have gone from the former Lu Changfeng who showed his sharpness and had a hot temper in the military academy to the mature, steady, decent and generous Section Chief Lu today! It should be said that so far, my judgment is still correct. Changfeng, you have indeed given me a lot of surprises!"

At this time, the soldier in charge of Zhong’s food and daily life came over and said:

"Chief, the dinner is ready. Can I start the meal?"
Chapter completed!
