Chapter 94: Guardian
Finally they heard praise, and the group of people who had been looked down upon in Pingjin inexplicably developed a good impression of Chen Haoran.
This guy looks like a young master, but his family background cannot be underestimated.
After being rejected so many times, Zhou Xiaoshan felt that his IQ had dropped a bit. He was a little touched when he heard a few words out of the blue.
"My father also said that the land and water nurture the people. Sichuan people are unyielding. They have fought against the Mongols, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty and have defended the change of dynasties. They have their own persistence in protecting our Chinese civilization. He believes that there will be a war between China and Japan, and Sichuan people will definitely make a difference in the anti-Japanese battlefield. I also want to go to Sichuan, but unfortunately, Zhuo Qingying is not going."
He talked about women every three sentences, and the brothers in the special forces camp who had seen beautiful women all burst into laughter.
But behind that smile, I felt a bit more inexplicable affection for the Chen father and son.
The special forces battalion bid farewell to their hometown and traveled thousands of miles to Tianjin and Beijing, and it was these people who met them.
"As a Sichuanese, I am eager to meet your father and personally express my gratitude on behalf of the Sichuan Army."
The special forces camp, who had been looked down upon, were very moved and their eyes were moistened. It was so rare and precious to hear others' recognition of Sichuan people thousands of miles away. These words were more real than gold.
The tone of voice Chen Haoran used when he spoke did not really show any intention of flattery.
Qi Jun clenched his fists and secretly applauded his decision yesterday.
"Okay, my dad knows that I invited Sichuan Army officers to my home, and he doesn't know how to praise me."
Qin Lie, who was following Zhou Xiaoshan, was filled with emotion. At this moment, he really just wanted to send this sentence back to his master immediately.
It has been almost half a month since the special forces battalion arrived in Peiping and Tianjin. Although they have done their best, the results are minimal.
Today we can hear these two sentences that affirm the people of Sichuan. All the efforts and all the grievances are worth it.
As expected of Qi Jun's best friend, Chen Haoran, who looks a bit weak and frivolous, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and is obviously well-educated.
Hearing that Zhou Xiaoshan admired his father, he invited his Sichuan Army brothers without hesitation to go back to the Chen family with him.
He got on the driving seat of the truck, took a group of Sichuan soldiers with him, and headed home in a leisurely manner.
The Chen family's courtyard in Beiping City is not small, the architecture is elegant and the decorations are exquisite. A bunch of Sichuanese people even feel like they have arrived at a royal palace.
Moreover, the servants of the Chen family did not panic when they saw so many soldiers coming .
Give people the usual calmness.
Chen Hu, Wang Changqing and several platoon leaders carried several boxes of glassware to the main hall of the Chen family, and only then did Chen Haoran invite his father out.
"It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Today is a rare opportunity to meet talented Sichuan Army soldiers who have come from afar."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. We, the Special Service Battalion of the 66th Division, on behalf of the division commander, visited universities and factories in Peking to convey our goodwill to move to Sichuan, but were widely looked down upon. Today, I heard your son agree with me, and I am deeply grateful. I have great respect for Mr. Chen's foresight and vision. I am honored to have Mr. Chen take the time to meet me today."
On the way, Qi Jun whispered that Chen Haoran's father, Chen Jingdong, was the second largest shareholder and a small shareholder of several industrial companies in Tianjin, and his grandfather was once a senior official of the Beiyang government. Chen Haoran's mother was also a professor at Peking University.
Well, their family is a family of merchants, a family of scholars, and a descendant of officials.
"Are you here to mobilize Peking University and factories to move to Sichuan?"
Chen Jingfang was stunned and laughed out loud. The whole yard could hear the host's hearty laughter, but the expressions on the faces of the Sichuan Army Special Forces Battalion were not very good.
"I don't mean anything else, my friend, please don't misunderstand me. I just remembered that your Commander Feng's little song has been sung in Beiping these days. You must have been rejected a lot, right?"
Zhou Xiaoshan's face turned black. Kang Ze and He Guoguang were two bastards. I had finally done some serious work to preserve the vitality of the country and nation, and now they were trying to make trouble for me.
"I never thought that Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui, who were described in the newspapers as ridiculous and unrepentant, would have such insight. You are dedicated to the country and the people. Please accept my greetings."
Chen Jingfang felt that his laughter just now was too inappropriate, so he clasped his hands together and saluted Zhou Xiaoshan and his group.
His son also followed his father in paying his respects.
"useless."
Zhou Xiaoshan quickly called everyone and helped his master up.
"Everyone, sit down, let's sit down and talk. You Sichuan soldiers are not rich, so why did you bring gifts?"
"Inside are some glassware and some canned fruits, which are all specialties of Yongzhou."
"Does Yongzhou also produce glass?"
"It's just a small workshop. I was the one who founded it. I can't compare to Mr. Chen, the industrialist."
Chen Jingfang was an extremely knowledgeable elite of the Republic of China. Living in Tianjin and Beijing, he also dabbled in the history and culture of Sichuan. His foresight into the future was clearer than that of Zhang Jixian and Sun Yongheng, and his judgment of the current situation was also more accurate.
Zhou Xiaoshan has full respect for such people.
He waved his hand and Chen Hu and his men began to dismantle the wooden boxes.
"Oh my god, Baizhanjun glassware, foreigners are buying Baizhanjun glass, are you the initiator?"
"Mr. Chen, please forgive me for making fun of you. This glass brand was a misunderstanding of the then-owner of Hengfa Foreign Company. Although it was publicized in the newspapers and has a small reputation, the workshop is too small and the scale of the factory is not as large as that of the glass factory in Tianjin."
Chen Jingfang shook his head in disbelief.
" It's really an eye-opener. Not only is Hengfa Foreign Company hiding the origin of the Baizhan Military Glass, no one would have thought that it was a masterpiece under the command of Commander Feng who can compose music."
"My aunt is getting married next month. My mother saw it in the newspaper and said she was going to buy a set of Bai Zhan Jun glassware as a dowry for her. Unfortunately, it's out of stock in Pingjin . If my mother knew about the gift you gave her, I don't know how happy she would be."
Chen Haoran touched the English characters on the glass vase and couldn't let it go.
"I have some extra ones in the car outside. They were originally intended to be given to the presidents of various universities in Peking. Unfortunately, they can't even be touched. If Brother Haoran likes them, I'll have someone move two more sets."
"Mr. Zhou is so polite. I like the Baizhan Military Glass very much. Haoran, please ask for two sets for me. I mean, if the bayonet is not pierced in the body, people will not feel pain. You don't have to mobilize those principals. I will pay for them to build two preparatory branches. Then I will work for them and try to move some books and spare teaching equipment to Yongzhou. In this way, they don't have to report to the education department."
"good."
Zhou Xiaoshan looked at Chen Jingfang, who was full of passion, and couldn't help but shout.
Zheng Chunhua, Chang Desheng, Chen Hu, Qin Lie, Qi Jun and a dozen officers in Sichuan Army uniforms clapped their hands excitedly.
The Chen family is very hospitable.
The housekeeper and the servants were chased away by Chen Jingfang and his son.
Not only did I go to Bianyifang to buy duck, I also went to Donglaishun to get mutton, and many other famous delicacies from Peking City.
They did not treat these low-level generals of the Sichuan Army as soldiers, but treated everyone with courtesy.
Chen Jingfang and Zhou Xiaoshan hit it off right away. The two chatted and laughed, and soon became very familiar with each other. Zhou Xiaoshan followed Haoran in calling him uncle, and he also treated Zhou Xiaoshan as his own junior.
He greatly appreciated the 66th Division's investment promotion activities in Pingjin, and also gave a thumbs up to Qi Jun for joining the Sichuan Army.
"Born in troubled times, with power in my hands and guns at my disposal, it is far better than being a rich man. A man of passion should defend his country. Unfortunately, the Chen family has only one descendant. If Haoran and I had a brother, he would have gone to the Whampoa Military Academy long ago."
