The years of red flags

"This sentence is like what a people's defender should say." Jiang Hua smiled and praised: "If there is a way, soldiers will come to block it, and water will come to the village. Don't worry if you have troubles. The problems will always be solved. Your worries now are in vain. "

Zhang Haiyang nodded: "Nonsense, I have been a loyal guard for so many years, how can I not speak well? But it is impossible not to worry. We have to think of the problem ahead."

After talking to Jiang Hua, Zhang Haiyang's mood improved significantly. He picked up his satchel and put on his sunglasses.

Jiang Hua said disgustedly: "Let's see if you can do it. Now that you can't see your fingers outside, why don't you wear sunglasses to dry your hair?"

"Forgot." Zhang Haiyang put his sunglasses in his breast pocket and said with a smile, "I'll have a drink with you when I have time."

Jiang Hua nodded silently, thinking that he would have a drink with me when he has time. I'm afraid you won't be free in the past six months.

The next day, Jiang Hua woke up and saw Zhong Shanyue sitting on the sofa, dumbfounded. His usually sharp ears were not functioning today.

"Dad, what are you thinking about?"

Only then did Zhong Shanyue come to his senses, shook his head and said, "A murder occurred in the Xinjiekou compound. Do you know about it?"

Jiang Hua nodded: "At around ten o'clock last night, Zhang Haiyang came over and talked to me about this matter."

"Old Li is gone." Zhong Shanyue said with a frown: "He has not retired yet. He was the leader of the Democratic Party back then."

"It can only be said that it is so unfortunate that we met a habitual thief." Jiang Hua shook his head and said, "Whoever encounters this kind of passionate crime will be unlucky."

"Hey." Zhong Shanyue sighed: "Have you and Yuemin's courtyard been renovated? After it is renovated, let's move as soon as possible."

"Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Zhong Shanyue smiled and said: "I have lived here for three to forty years. A change of environment will allow me to experience a different kind of life."

"Okay, I'll hire a moving company to move tomorrow."

The next day, Jiang Hua hired a moving company with the best reputation on the market to move things back and forth from the small courtyard. Because the truck could not enter the large courtyard, this busy scene made people around him look at it.

"Uncle Zhong, is your family divided?"

Zhong Shanyue sat on a chair at the door, looking at the small courtyard where he had lived for decades, and he was filled with emotions in an instant.

When he heard someone ask him if his family was separated, he shook his head and said, "It's not a separation, it's a move."

"Uncle Zhong, are you moving away too?"

Zhong Shanyue nodded: "I also moved away. I have lived in the compound for decades. I want to experience what Shijing Hutong is."

"Uncle Zhong is still very elegant." Someone said jokingly: "But what's so good about the alleys in the old capital? How can they be as good as our courtyard?"

"I have retired. Logically speaking, I shouldn't continue to live in this house." Zhong Shanyue smiled and said, "Oh, it's not enough to take advantage of the government."

Young people ridiculed Zhong Shanyue, but Zhong Shanyue was talking about justice. I am a retired veteran cadre and I don't take advantage of the government. You, a young man, want to continue to chew on your old age here. That is simply shameless.

The moving company quickly packed everything inside the window, leaving nothing but the office furniture, and then cleaned it thoroughly.The alley where the three large trucks entered meant that no firecrackers were allowed to be set off right now, otherwise Zheng Tong and Lao San would have prepared a firecracker to explode at the entrance of the alley.

"Welcome, Uncle Zhong. You have finally moved here. We can be neighbors in the future." Zheng Tong said enthusiastically: "Hurry up and enter the house. Everything is ready. My wife is helping Yingying and others burn the bottom of the pot. Woolen cloth."

The third child helped the moving company put things away. Zheng Tong took the old man to visit this courtyard. He was no stranger to this courtyard. He remembered that he had lived in this courtyard for a full year.

Teacher Han, Lan Jieying, Gao Yue, Jiang Biyun and the third daughter-in-law Xiuyun were preparing a feast in the kitchen. Jiang Hua and Zhong Yuemin each made a cup of tea and squatted under the porch.

"Brother, I won't stay with you tonight. I'll live in my courtyard house."

Jiang Hua smiled and asked, "Why are you so eager to separate the family?"

Zhong Yuemin said happily: "It has nothing to do with the family separation. It's easy for us as a young couple to have our own private world. We can't enjoy it wantonly."

After Zhong Shanyue visited, he walked to Zhong Yuemin and said, "Your mother and I also live in your courtyard."

Zhong Yuemin was stunned, and Jiang Hua asked with a smile: "What do you mean? Dad, your eldest son is so unwelcome to you?"

"I, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady, the younger son should provide for his father in old age." Zhong Shanyue said with a smile: "This matter is settled, we live in Zhong Yuemin's house."

Jiang Hua smiled and said to Zhong Yuemin: "I'm afraid you can't enjoy your private space anymore."

At noon, the whole family, together with relatives and friends, enjoyed a sumptuous moving banquet. After the meal, Zhong Yuemin moved part of the old couple's luggage to his home. This was Jiang Hua's request. Sometimes, if the old couple were happy, they would also You can come and stay for a while.

At this point, Zhong Shanyue has taken root in this alley. As a retired old man, although he has graduated from a normal university, he is no different from the old men in the alley.

It was okay, so I took Jiang Hua and bought him an imported thermos cup, made him a cup of tea, squatted at the entrance of the alley to play chess and poker with other old men, and then went to pick up his granddaughter from school when the time came.

In the entire alley, except for a few of them, no one would know how famous Zhong Shanyue once was, and no one would think about it. How could an old man who regretted playing chess with them be a person who kept his promises back then? .

Celebrating the New Year in the alley is much more interesting than celebrating the New Year in the compound. A few days after they moved here, it was the New Year of [-].

Zhong Shanyue prepared a lot of red envelopes for himself early, all worth ten yuan a piece, which was a little pocket money for those children.

As soon as I left home on the morning of New Year's Day, all the children in the alley came to pay New Year's greetings to this amiable Grandpa Zhong.

Like a philanthropic boy, Zhong Yuemin held a big basin behind his father, which was full of imported chocolates.

Just shout out "Happy New Year to Grandpa, good health to Grandpa, Happy New Year to Uncle Zhong", and that's a red envelope and a handful of chocolates, which will make these children happy.

Amidst the childish Taoism all over his body, Zhong Shanyue felt refreshed.

"This is much happier than celebrating the New Year in the compound." Zhong Shanyue said to Zhong Yuemin with a smile: "If I live here, I can live ten more years."
