Chapter 270 The Sickly Cannon Fodder in the Period Literature 30
*
Xu Changrong returned to the village with Xu Xingzhou and Yun Wu. He mainly wanted to visit Yun Wu's elder brother and sister-in-law.
The eldest brother is like a father, and Yun Qingshan is now equivalent to Yun Wu's father. Xu Changrong feels that as a relative, he must visit with gifts.
If Yun Wu waits for Yun Qingshan to come and visit, then marrying into a rich family will be considered marrying up.
The fact that Xu Changrong visited Yun Qingshan's home first meant that Yun Wu was marrying the boy from his family, and it also represented the Xu family's importance to Yun Wu.
Several military vehicles came into the village. Such a grand scene attracted everyone in the village to watch.
Tong Xiaoyun couldn't join in the fun. She was picked up by the Jiang family yesterday. There wasn't even a red veil ceremony. She hurriedly went to the city to marry Jiang Cheng.
A gray-haired man in a military green uniform got out of the car, leaning on a wooden cane made of sandalwood. Behind him, Zhou Yi was holding many gifts of different sizes.
There were also Xu Xingzhou and Yun Wu. The surrounding villagers were watching from the side. There were soldiers guarding the car, so they couldn't get through.
Some people also heard the guards calling that person "Chief", and some heard Xu Xingzhou calling the Chief "Grandpa"!
"Did you hear that? Grandpa Xingzhou is the head of the military region!"
"Is this true? Didn't they say that there is no one left at home?"
"He came to our house in person, do you think this is true? And he didn't tell us anything about his family. These are just rumors from the people in our village."
"Then the Yun family has become a phoenix, right?"
"The leader came to visit in person, and the man's family came to give gifts first. This means that the woman is marrying down. Isn't this enough to show how much he values the Yun family?"
What people outside were talking about had nothing to do with the people in the room. Tong Hui was fine, but Yun Qingshan was extremely nervous.
Xu Changrong took the gift bag from Zhou Yi. His serious face did not show the arrogance of a superior, but he looked at Yun Qingshan solemnly.
"Hello, Comrade Yun. I am Xingzhou's grandfather. It has been two months since you got married, and this is the first time you have come to visit your in-laws. I am sorry for being so rude."
"Hello, Chief."
Yun Qingshan quickly straightened his chest and saluted Xu Changrong. Tong Hui beside him accepted the gift Xu Changrong brought.
Xu Xingzhou and Yun Wu stood aside, talking in a sly manner. After all, they were considered the younger generation, while Xu Changrong and Yun Qingshan were just talking as elders and relatives.
"take it easy."
Xu Changrong raised his hand and patted Yun Qingshan's still somewhat stiff shoulders, and a smile suddenly appeared on his serious face.
"I only found out about Xingzhou running away from home and getting married later. He thought I was trying to break up the couple. Am I that kind of person?"
"Things between the two children must be decided by themselves. Commander, please don't blame Xingzhou for acting on his own. He is sincere to Xiaowu and did not run away from home to get married out of spite."
Tong Hui said with a slight smile on her face. She was speaking on behalf of Xu Xingzhou. It was obvious that Xu Changrong cared about his grandson, but that didn't stop him from disliking him.
Xu Changrong is not as serious as he looks. Although he is old, he is full of energy and even wants to invite Yun Qingshan to drink.
But because he still wanted to go and see where Xu Xingzhou and Yun Wu lived now, he had to give up.
However, when he walked into the large courtyard of Xu Xingzhou and Yun Wu's home, he felt something was wrong.
"This house is too small. Either the yard should be big enough to drive a car, or there should be no yard at all. Look at this yard, it's so small..."
Xu Changrong spoke while leaning on a cane, still looking around the environment inside the house and yard.
This crutch can help him gain support when he walks. Although he is still very energetic, his leg is damaged by a war when he was young.
"Every household in the village is pretty much the same, and I think that's pretty good."
Yun Wu said weakly. She knew Xu Changrong was afraid that she would feel wronged, but Xu Xingzhou had already done his best to give her the best.
Xu Changrong raised his crutch and pointed at a pile of farm tools still covered in mud lying in disarray on the ground in the corner of the yard.
"You little brat, you threw these things on the ground in a mess. Are you waiting for my granddaughter-in-law to clean them up for you, or for an old man like me to clean them up?"
Xu Changrong turned around and said to Xu Xingzhou in an unpleasant tone, raising his cane to hit Xu Xingzhou.
"I thought you were so capable of running away from home, but you let your wife live here?!"
"I just didn't see Awu when I came back, so I was in a hurry and didn't have time to pack..."
Xu Xingzhou said calmly, and then skillfully dodged Xu Changrong's cane attack.
He didn't seem to be panicked at all, and turned to Yun Wu to explain:
"It's okay, don't worry. The old man is picking on me. He does it on purpose. If he really disliked the poor living conditions here, he would have had me tied up and taken back from the beginning."
Xu Changrong is a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He has worked diligently and conscientiously for decades.
He moved from a dilapidated thatched hut to a four-story house, so how could he look down on houses in the countryside?
It was just an excuse to teach his grandson a lesson for running away from home at the slightest disagreement.
It is also a reminder to Xu Xingzhou that after marrying a wife, he not only needs to be good to her, but also work hard to create a better life for her.
"Really……"
There was still a hint of worry in Yun Wu's radiant eyes, but Xu Changrong really didn't seem to have any intention of beating Xu Xingzhou.
Xu Changrong quickly withdrew his hand and snorted coldly at Xu Xingzhou.
Then he changed into a friendly look and said to Yun Wu:
"Granddaughter-in-law, don't feel sorry for him. I'm teaching him a lesson for you. He didn't explain his situation to you at the beginning. He must have lied to you that he had no one at home and acted pitiful in front of you!"
Yun Wu blushed and hesitated without answering, as if Xu Xingzhou had not told her directly that there was no one at home.
She misunderstood him at that time and he didn't explain it in time, and he had to explain it after she kissed him.
Xu Xingzhou put his arm around Yun Wu's waist, patted her head, and then said to Xu Changrong:
"Alright, alright, Grandpa, don't you have some important matters to deal with in the military region? You should go back first."
"You have to bring your granddaughter-in-law back to see me more often. I won't force you to go to any research institute, but you have to continue working in the military region. Didn't you say before that you wanted to work in the military and political fields?"
Xu Changrong said casually that he didn't want Xu Xingzhou to learn any technology. Since he wanted to continue working in the military region, let him go.
It would also be a good opportunity for him to see if his grandson has the ability and whether he can take over his position in the future.
