Mr. Chen and Mr. Tang drank so happily that Mr. Chen drank a little too much. Mr. Chen actually has a good drinking capacity. He often socializes out and drinks, but it is still far behind compared to Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang was born in the military. Although he is older than Mr. Chen, his physical fitness is very good. The difficult days of climbing snowy mountains and crossing grasslands did not have a big impact on his body. During the war, when I was lying dormant, I would drink a big sip of white wine when I was too cold. After a long time, I couldn't drink enough. However, the two of them still had something to talk about, and since they were older, they didn't have to drink too much. They dispersed when they were done drinking.

After the two drank, they brought the two sons of the Chen family to the study. Mr. Tang invited his two sons to sit down. The Tang family's sister-in-law made tea for them, packed everything up, and then left and closed the door.

"Brother Chen, you made the right decision this time when you decided to go north and take up a post in Beijing. The country has just started and is full of waste. The development of the country needs talented people like you, people who can do hard work. During the war, our group of military generals could charge forward. Now that there is peace, it is time to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood. Our guns are no longer useful. From now on, this will be your home court. Just do what you do, don't If you have concerns, we will support you. This is what I mean, and it is what I was asked to convey to you. Your contribution will be remembered by the country." Mr. Tang took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and said slowly.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen also sat upright, deeply grateful for what Mr. Tang said. In fact, in addition to political reasons for his decision to come to Beijing, he also really wanted to contribute to this new country. This government is completely different from the governments he has experienced in the past. They love the people like their own children and really care about the common people. They really work for the welfare of the poor. They advocate equality for everyone and everyone is worthy of respect.

Their troops were like nothing he had ever seen before. He would never forget that day on May 5, when the sound of gunfire finally stopped after a night of fear. They pushed the door open and walked out, only to be shocked by the scene in front of them. I couldn’t smile from ear to ear. One after another, People's Liberation Army soldiers slept on the side of the road with their clothes undressed, lying on couches arranged in formations, all shivering. The soldiers on guard duty did not scold and stop them when they saw the people pushing out the door, but continued to patrol quietly.

The people in the city were spreading rumors the day before that the king would be defeated and the bandits would be defeated. When the new troops enter the city, they still don’t know how to show off their power. Haishi is a city that has gone through vicissitudes of life. It has been occupied by foreigners and raided by various warlords. Every time It was a river of blood and devastation, causing innocent people to suffer and suffer unspeakably. Even a big family like theirs lives cautiously during every change. Although he has long understood that this team is different from other teams, seeing it is worse than hearing it.

Unexpectedly, the first day they entered the city would give them such a big shock. The 10-strong army entered Shanghai without entering their homes, and the troops were even given orders not to disturb the lives of ordinary people. The same troops, this is absolutely impossible to happen in the teams that entered Haishi before. Later, after getting to know him, he learned that in fact it was more than that. In order to do their best to protect the sea city and protect the lives and property of the local people, the troops had been compressing the front line during the siege, fixing the combat location in the outer areas of the city, and attacking the urban area. There was no damage at all.

In addition, the troops were ordered not to use heavy artillery weapons, explosives, and grenades if possible. You must know that adopting such a fighting method will definitely suffer losses. At least compared to the opponent's army that pours out artillery fire unscrupulously, our army has a lot more to worry about, and the speed of the advance will inevitably be slowed down. But it makes sense to do so. After 15 days of peripheral fighting, our army finally succeeded in taking Haishi at the cost of many casualties.

Currently, no buildings in the sea market have been damaged, and no shops have been robbed. Except for the soldiers sleeping in their clothes on the streets, the overall situation was exactly the same as before the war started, without any changes. Now, this new regime has given them new hope. The people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all this has been brought about by the new government. Therefore, he is grateful to this government and full of hope for the future of this country. This was the main reason that prompted him to come to Beijing. He wanted to do his part for this new country. But after all, he had left his hometown, and he was still a little worried under the new regime. Now Mr. Tang's words reassured him.

"Brother Tang, with your words and the chief's instructions, I feel at ease. Please believe me, I will definitely do my best to contribute all my strength to the economic construction of our country." Mr. Chen said excitedly , now he feels that the blood has rushed to the top of his head, and his whole body is full of energy.

Mr. Tang nodded happily, and then turned to tell his eldest son to pay more attention to the safety of the capital city. Now that our country has just been established, opposition forces at home and abroad, as well as reactionaries lurking among the people, still need to be vigilant at all times. The eldest brother of the Tang family nodded in agreement. Then Mr. Tang told his younger son to teach well at the University of Washington, and to go to his father-in-law's house with his wife when they have time. After all, they are far away from Haishi. They only have a daughter in Beijing, and he, the lady, is half a son. He must do his best. Filial piety for the Son of Man. Dad Tang also promised that he would definitely do it.

They chatted for a long time, but it was already getting late. The Tang family was worried about the old couple going back, so they persuaded them to stay overnight at the Tang family, and they agreed.

Worried that Mr. Chen would feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night without anyone to take care of him, Tang's father took the initiative to sleep with his father-in-law tonight so that he could take care of him at night. Mrs. Chen slept with her daughter and granddaughter. As for his brother Zhanbo, he mingled with his cousins ​​as soon as he returned to his old house. He was taken care of by his aunt, so he didn't have to worry about him at all. After a day of excitement, Tang Xin was already extremely tired. Before she finished eating, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in her grandma's arms.

When the mother and daughter were finally alone, Mrs. Chen opened another box she brought in the afternoon, which was full of gifts for her daughter and granddaughter. There were American ginseng, donkey-hide gelatin and sea cucumbers to replenish my daughter's body, which filled up half the box. Although the Tang family has a prominent position, the country has just stabilized and is not very rich in supplies. In addition, Mr. Tang is an upright man and has been honest throughout his life, so the Tang family does not have much wealth, and there is no comparison with the rich Chen family.

Mother Chen felt sorry for her daughter, who had been pampered since she was a child. Although she did not suffer much hardship when she married into the Tang family, Mrs. Chen still felt that her daughter had suffered some injustices in life. In addition, her body was injured when giving birth to her grandson, and her daughter suffered physical losses. She always wanted to make up for her daughter's health. In the past, she didn't dare to make it too obvious when she wanted to subsidize her daughter, fearing that her in-laws would think too much about it, but it's different now. She has just given birth to her daughter and she can openly give her daughter supplements so that her daughter can replenish her body. So this time when he came from Haishi, he brought a lot of supplements to his daughter, so that her daughter could take a good supplement.

The remaining half of the box contains baby products bought by Mrs. Chen, including sets of baby clothes, feeding bottles, building blocks and toys. The strangest thing is a toy doll. This is a rare item. Seeing this doll, even as an adult, Tang’s mother was very curious about it and couldn’t put it down. Old Mrs. Chen told her that a new department store had been opened on Nanjing East Road in Haishi. Mayor Chen personally organized and prepared the establishment, and his family also helped a lot. The items sold there were so comprehensive that she even bought a stroller for her sugar baby, which she would then transport with the bulky luggage.

Seeing the boxes full of gifts filled with love from her mother, Tang’s mother was deeply moved. It is only after becoming a mother that I understand the feelings parents have for their children and their selfless devotion to their children. Over the years, she and her husband studied and studied abroad, and finally settled in Beijing, far away from their parents, especially after having children. Sometimes we can't see each other for a year, and we can only express our love through phone calls. Now her parents have decided to settle in Beijing. She knows that in addition to political reasons, it is also partly because of herself. They want them to go north to Beijing away from relatives, friends and familiar life circles. They want to see themselves often. Tang's mother's nose was a little sore. She held Old Mrs. Chen's arm and rested her head on her mother's shoulder. Her voice was slightly choked and she called "Mom". At this moment, all her emotions were integrated into this "Mom".
