Chapter 95: Chen Family
Chen Jingfang glanced at his son with disdain.
"Haoran's health is too poor. This time I will go to Yongzhou with you. I want to put him in the 66th Division and train with you for half a year to see if his body can be stronger."
"No problem. On behalf of the division commander, I welcome Mr. Chen to Yongzhou. To be honest, I have a few unused houses in Yongzhou. Although they are simple, they are not so bad that you don't have no place to live. As for Haoran, if he is willing, he can follow our guard battalion to exercise and practice shooting together."
Chen Haoran became anxious.
"Dad, we went to Sichuan, what about Qingying?"
"Haoran, you are just too eager. Your mother has come to propose marriage three times, and Professor Zhuo's opinion is very clear. Zhuo Qingying must agree to it herself. If you can't handle her, what can I do?"
Chen Jingfang looked at Zhou Xiaoshan again.
"Xiaoshan, when will you return to Sichuan?"
"It's hard to say. This time we came here, we met Zhang Jixian and Sun Yongheng in Tianjin. They have decided to go back with us. They want to deal with their assets, so I might as well go to Shandong to attract investment."
"Why didn't you go to Shanghai? I think it's just as dangerous there."
After Chen Jingfang finished speaking, he slapped his forehead.
"Look, I was dumbfounded when I stayed in Peking. Shanghai is dominated by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang financial groups. They have such close ties with the National Government. You are the Sichuan Army."
Zhou Xiaoshan laughed.
It is easier to talk to people who understand. They will understand many things as soon as they are mentioned.
It turned out that several subordinates in the special forces battalion thought that Zhou Xiaoshan would go to Shanghai after his stay in Peiping. Now they know that if he makes any trouble in Shanghai, the Nanjing government will definitely intervene.
Chen Jingfang looked at his son and sighed.
"I'll have a good chat with your uncle Zhuo and his wife these two days. With their level, they can still find university teaching jobs in Chengdu and Chongqing. With Zhou Xiaoshan and his friends' promise to Liu Xiang, and the fact that Sichuan people can see the danger of the current situation, let's see if we can bring their whole family to Sichuan."
"Thank you, father."
"Thank you for nothing. Who told me to give birth to such a precious son like you?"
Zhou Xiaoshan was stunned, remembering his previous life, when he also had a good father who was obedient to him. He somehow ended up in this TV series, and he didn't know how sad his father would be.
"Why, Haoran is such a good son, and you still despise him?"
Chen Haoran's mother still has some of the charm of Wang Xifeng, played by Deng Jie back then. You hear her voice first, then you see her person.
Zheng Chunhua and the others were stunned. They had never seen such a wealthy and noble woman. Even the fairies in the commander's family would feel ashamed of themselves when faced with such a wealth of culture and temperament.
They stood up hurriedly and saluted in unison.
"Meet Madam Chen."
Qi Jun, in a panic, also imitated the soldiers of the special forces battalion and saluted together.
After all, I haven't practiced it before, so it feels unnatural.
Mrs. Chen noticed it at a glance.
"What's going on? Qi Jun, why did you go to the army? I asked Haoran to tell you that you are so talented in math, you should study abroad. Our family has supported dozens of college students, so we don't need one more."
"Auntie, thank you for your kindness. I will remember your kindness all my life. Joining the Sichuan Army is something I have considered carefully ."
"Fengxiang, Qi Jun joined the Sichuan Army for his own reasons and considerations. A man should serve his country with passion."
"What's the point? Sending such outstanding talents to the battlefield is a tragedy for the country and the nation."
Zhou Xiaoshan originally thought that only Sichuan girls were hot, but he didn't expect to see such women who didn't give their husbands any face in Pingjin.
Chen Jingfang smiled awkwardly.
"Mom, we have guests at home."
Everyone envied this family. When the son saw his father's embarrassment, he quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Mom, let me introduce you. This is Zhou Xiaoshan. He is not only the adjutant of Feng Tiankui of the 66th Division, but also the temporary adjutant of Liu Xiang, the King of Sichuan, and Marshal Liu. They came to Pingjin this time to lobby the factories and schools in Pingjin to move south to Sichuan. Adjutant Zhou is also the founder of the Baizhan Army Glass Workshop."
"Battle Armor Glass?"
Gao Fengxiang finally smiled.
"Hey, I saw the glass plates and bowls you produce once. They were so beautiful. I heard they were brought from Shanghai. You can't buy them in Beijing. Hey, Jingfang, why does the number of the 66th Sichuan Army Division sound so familiar to me?"
The one who was embarrassed this time was not Chen Jingfang, but a group of brothers from the Sichuan Army Special Forces Battalion.
Zhou Xiaoshan doesn't care. He only believes in one thing: if I'm not embarrassed, then you are the ones who are embarrassed.
"Mrs. Chen, our chief teacher is Feng Tiankui. The newspapers of the Nationalist government have been making headlines about him these days."
Chen Jingfang suppressed his smile, and seeing his wife's face darken , he hurried to help Zhou Xiaoshan resolve the situation.
"Feng Xiang, you also know how dirty the Nationalist government's politics are. They can come to Pingjin, win over industries and schools to set up branches in Yongzhou, exempt taxes, and provide manpower for free. Commander Feng is not the kind of person that the newspapers portray. Besides, Zhou Xiaoshan is also a college student who joined the army. He hit it off with our son and gave us three sets of Hundred Battles Army glassware. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Hey, what kind of government is this? It's forcing good people into absurd situations."
Gao Fengxiang is actually different from what they think. She is a professor at Peking University and cares for her students out of her genuine love.
She also realized that her anger just now was a bit wrong, but she did not regret it. She still insisted that a student with such good grades like Qi Jun should not go to the army.
Since she agreed with her husband's move to Chongqing, although she had a straightforward temper, she did have some knowledge. She quickly invited Zhou Xiaoshan and his party to sit down.
"Feng Xiang, you also know that when we do business, we can't avoid dealing with the Japanese. We have seen how evil and greedy the Japanese are in the business world. They used despicable means to force six of the eight major cotton mills in Tianjin to buy them. They didn't give up the acquisition of the last two. Mr. Zhao was still discussing a way out with me yesterday!"
"I've heard Mr. Jiang Baili say that there will be a war between China and Japan. The Japanese army is aggressive and is now targeting North China. I'm afraid that the Nationalist government is still clinging to the idea of pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression and treating North China as the second Northeast."
Dinner was still enjoyable.
Just like the investment promotion specialists of later generations, Zhou Xiaoshan gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the 124th Brigade's cement factory. As for the construction of the preparatory school, Chen Jingfang did not have to pay for even the cement, bricks and tiles. He and Commander Feng both believed that these temporary schools would allow future generations to witness this period of history and should not be built rashly.
Every school should be carefully designed and must have a large number of reinforced concrete air-raid shelters.
Only in this way can the safety of students be guaranteed without fail.
Zhou Xiaoshan gave a detailed introduction to Yongzhou's people's livelihood, population, local customs and specialties, and also asked them to open a few cans of fruit.
When the couple heard that there was a long limestone gorge in the upper reaches of Longxi River, they immediately thought that Yongzhou was a very beautiful place and the water there must be very beautiful.
