Chapter Thirteen Long Time Reunion

Time passed day by day, and today was the time when the county party secretary Yang Guoqiang and Zhang Tianyou said that the county party secretary came to the village for inspection. Zhang Tianyou arranged for the whole village to go to the entrance of the village, holding gongs and drums, waiting for the county party secretary's driving. There were also some middle-aged women and men wearing festive red clothes to prepare for dancing yangko.

Suddenly, a layer of dust rose on the country road outside the village. The villagers saw the dust in the air from a distance. The dust was either something else, or the jeep that the county party secretary was riding. The jeep slowly drove on the country road and raised dust after dust.

When the village chief Zhang Tianyou saw the county party secretary's special car coming slowly, he shouted that the villagers were beating gongs and drums. As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the middle-aged women and men in red clothes started to twist the yangge, with smiles on their faces ready to welcome the arrival of the county party secretary.

The county party secretary's special car stopped at the entrance of the village and walked out of the jeep. A middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan uniform with a dark beard on his face. He met with a fifty-year-old look, which was Wang Weiliang, the county party secretary.

Following the county party secretary Wang Weiliang, he was his secretary Chen Zi'ang and driver Xiao Li. When Zhang Tianyou saw the county party secretary walking towards the villagers, he happily greeted him. When the county party secretary Wang Weiliang saw the village chief Zhang Tianyou walk towards him, he said to him: "Captain Zhang, what are you doing? Do you need to pick me up with such a big fanfare? I just come to the village to see how the villagers are living. There is no need to make these erotic airs. To be honest, I don't like it very much."

After hearing what Wang Weiliang, secretary of the county party committee, was so scared that he was sweating from time to time on his forehead. He immediately stopped the villagers who were beating gongs and dancing yangge.

County Party Secretary Wang Weiliang walked to the villagers and smiled and said to the villagers: "Friends, I, Wang Weiliang, come to see you. I heard that our village has a great harvest this year, and the situation is getting better and better. I want to hear the true thoughts of the villagers. How did you make the situation better!"

The villagers looked at the village chief Zhang Tianyou and didn't dare to speak, for fear that the wrong thing would cause trouble to the villagers. Zhang Tianyou hunched over and lowered his head to the county party secretary and said, "The situation in our village is so good, but the policies of the party and the country are good."

"No, I don't want to hear you. I want the villagers to tell me how this situation is going!" Wang Weiliang angrily scolded Zhang Tianyou and said.

Zhang Tianyou was frightened by Wang Weiliang's anger and stood aside and didn't dare to continue talking.

Standing in the crowd, Zhang Youcai felt familiar when he heard the voice of the county party secretary Wang Weiliang speaking, so he rubbed his eyes and looked at the county party secretary Wang Weiliang in front of him.

Suddenly, Zhang Youcai's nose felt sore, tears flowed out of his eyes, and he muttered, "It's him... it's him... the old platoon leader... my old platoon leader...

When Wang Weiliang heard the crying of a person in the crowd, he calmed down and looked over. When he saw Zhang Youcai at the first time, he felt a little inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't say that he had seen him there.

Zhang Youcai slowly cried out from the crowd and said to Wang Weiliang: "Junsheng... are you Junsheng?"

Wang Weiliang felt a little shocked, so he asked anxiously: "How do you know my nickname? You are...Who are you?...

Zhang Youcai cried and said, "Old platoon leader, don't you remember me? I am Youcai! It's your soldier Zhang Youcai!"

After hearing what Zhang Youcai said, Wang Weiliang suddenly trembled his body and his lips trembled excitedly and said, "You are talented, you are talented."

As they were talking, Wang Weiliang also started to cry. Zhang Youcai and Wang Weiliang hugged each other in their arms, crying each other, crying as heartbroken as a child. The villagers were all surprised to see this scene and stared at Zhang Youcai and Wang Weiliang, the county party secretary, hugged each other.

It turned out that after Zhang Youcai joined the army, he met the platoon leader Wang Weiliang. Zhang Youcai had been following his platoon leader to fight the enemy in a hundred battles of all sizes, big and small. However, the platoon leader was called Junsheng, not Wang Weiliang, so at the beginning he did not recognize that Wang Weiliang, the county party secretary in front of him, was his platoon leader Junsheng. Since the end of the war, Zhang Youcai lost contact with his comrades. But what he unexpectedly expected was that more than twenty years have passed, and he could still see his platoon leader Junsheng again, which made him feel a little excited.

After crying for a while, Zhang Youcai and Wang Weiliang wiped each other's tears. Zhang Youcai hadn't seen the platoon leader Junsheng for many years, so he pulled his sleeves and rushed home without hesitation. Wang Weiliang hadn't seen Youcai for many years, so he followed Zhang Youcai's pull to his house.

The villagers watched Zhang Youcai pull the county party secretary Wang Weiliang towards his house, his eyes wide open, and said, "Youcai is really capable, even the county party secretary knows it."

The village chief Zhang Tianyou, who was standing next to the villagers, felt a little unhappy. After all, no matter how he was, he was the head of the village. However, the limelight was completely taken away by Zhang Youcai's fuss, and he went home with a crutch in anger.

Zhang Youcai and Wang Weiliang, whom he had not seen for many years, talked and laughed along the way, talking and fighting the past, how they were on the battlefield and how they beat the enemy to pieces.

Zhang Youcai's son Fugui did not go to the village entrance to greet the county party secretary because his wife Jianmei had just given birth to a child. He was alone at home to take care of his wife Jianmei and two fat boys.

When Zhang Youcai led Wang Weiliang to the door of his house, he shouted to the room, "Fugui, hurry... hurry... come out to pay homage to you Uncle Wang."

Fugui heard his father Zhang Youcai calling him outside the house at home, and hurriedly walked out. He saw the middle-aged man wearing Zhongshan suit beside his father Zhang Youcai, who was a little unrecognizable. But Fugui knew that most people wearing Zhongshan suits were high-ranking officials, but he also watched his father standing with him, which made him unable to understand.

Zhang Youcai smiled and said to his son Fugui: "Fugui, this is your Uncle Wang, hurry up... call Uncle Wang...

Zhang Fugui let his father Zhang Youcai shout, but he was always confused and asked hurriedly: "Dad, what is Uncle Wang doing? Why haven't I seen him since I was a child and never come to our house?"

Zhang Youcai explained: "Fugui! Your Uncle Wang and I are comrades-in-arms. He is my old platoon leader. My father met him in the army before he got married. When my father met your Uncle Wang, I didn't even know your mother! So how could he have been to our house? Even my father met him just now!"

"Talented! This handsome young man is your son?" Wang Weiliang said in confusion.

"Old platoon leader, he is my son Fugui. I have been looking for a relative since I returned from the army. Not long after I gotten rich, I got the baby Fugui. But Fugui's mother left in a difficult child when she was rich, so now I am the only one alone," Zhang Youcai explained.

"Talented! You have suffered so much over the years. Why don't you find a wife anymore? It's great that there is someone who knows the cold and the hot!" Wang Weiliang said.

"Old platoon leader, I won't look for an old man anymore. Since I got Fugui, I have never thought about marrying a wife again. I have been with Fugui until now. But now, Fugui has grown up and married a wife. My daughter-in-law Li Jianmei is sensible and filial, and has given birth to two fat grandsons for me, so I am content with the old man," Zhang Youcai responded with a smile.

"What, Fugui's kid has a baby, but two big fat boys, you are so talented! You are so lucky!" Wang Weiliang said with a smile.

"Old platoon leader, go, I'll take you into the house to see my two fat grandchildren," Zhang Youcai said with a smile.

Zhang Youcai happily led Wang Weiliang into his house. His daughter-in-law Li Jianmei was sitting on the bed holding a fat boy feeding breastfeeding! Zhang Fugui hurried to the bed holding his baby and walked to Wang Weiliang with a smile and said, "Uncle Wang, this is my big baby Zhang Shaoping. Jianmei was holding the one named Zhang Shaoan who was feeding."

After hearing this, Wang Weiliang smiled and said to Fugui, "Fugui, did you give this baby's name?"

Zhang Fugui thought that the name he had given was not good, so he rushed to ask, "Uncle Wang, is this name not good?"

"No, no, no, this name is very good. Uncle Wang wants to say that you really know how to name a person. You have read for a few years!" Wang Weiliang said.

Zhang Fugui said embarrassedly: "Uncle Wang, when we were young, our family was poor and we had no money to pay tuition, so we never read a book. We only know how to write our own name, and we don't know any other big words."

Wang Weiliang was a little surprised when he heard Fugui say it, so he said to Zhang Youcai: "Fugui, a child who has never been to school, has thought of such a good reputation for his baby. If Fugui is allowed to study hard for a few years, he will definitely achieve success. If Fugui doesn't dislike me, he can go to the county to go to school with me."

"What are the old platoon leader saying? How could I dislike you? But Fugui's child is so old, and when he goes to school, he is afraid that others will laugh at him!" Zhang Youcai said.

"Talented! This is your wrong thing. Your thinking must be improved! Now the country advocates adult teaching and independent learning! As long as Fugui is willing to learn, he will definitely have a future!" Wang Weiliang said.

Zhang Youcai turned around and asked his son Fugui, "Fugui! You have heard what your Uncle Wang said. What you think, just tell your Uncle Wang, don't be jealous of Dad. As long as you want to go, it's okay for Dad to take care of the family alone. Take advantage of your body being strong."

"Dad, Uncle Wang, although learning knowledge and culture has helped us a lot, now we have two babies, so we don't want to study anymore. We just want to live a good life so that the two babies can study and study, but we dare not live like this as a coward again," said Zhang Fugui.

"Okay, okay, since you have considered it, Uncle Wang will not persuade you. However, Uncle Wang has something to talk to you, so you must tell Uncle Wang honestly," said Wang Weiliang.
