Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

"military vehicle?"

Upon hearing these two words, everyone's expression froze and the whole room instantly became quiet.

Xiao Yun put away his smile and looked at Xiao Aiguo. After the grandfather and grandson looked at each other, they stood up tacitly.

"Su Ming, I'll go check the door. It might be my dad who's back." After Xiao Yun gave this instruction, he helped Xiao Aiguo out of the house.

Xiao Aiguo didn't need any support, but he was a little emotional now, so in order to prevent him from falling, Xiao Yun still chose to support him.

When we arrived at the door, we saw a military vehicle parked there as expected.

No one dared to speak. Everyone knew without asking that they were looking for Xiao Yun's family.

After all, the only people in the entire compound who were related to the military were the deaf old lady and the Xiao family.

Some people who had done bad things in the past now felt particularly panicked when they saw the military vehicles, fearing that they would be punished in the future.

Among them was Liu Haizhong. He had not forgotten how he had targeted the Xiao family in the past. At this moment, his palms were full of sweat.

As the car door opened, four figures got out of the car one after another. They were all wearing their own clothes, not military uniforms.

The moment they saw Xiao Aiguo, they all strode forward and asked him with concern.

"Grandpa, do you still remember us? We missed you so much!" One of them held Xiao Aiguo's hand tightly.

Several others also stood by, looking at Xiao Aiguo with smiles in their eyes.

"Grandpa, you won't forget me, will you? I missed you so much and wanted to come and see you for a long time."

Xiao Aiguo's deep eyes fell on several people one after another, and they were actually a little moist. His upper and lower lips trembled and he stuttered when he spoke, "I can't... I can't forget. You are all doing well, right?"

Several people responded in unison, "We are fine. The conditions are good now, and life in the army is good."

Xiao Aiguo nodded repeatedly, but his voice was still trembling, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, "You have all lost weight, you have all lost weight."

A sudden word of concern made several people tremble suddenly. After looking at each other, the person closest to Xiao Aiguo was actually choked up.

This kind of unintentional, plain concern is the true expression of emotion.

It was so quiet at the door that Xiao Aiguo stretched his head to look inside the car, but seeing the empty car, he looked away disappointedly, "Come in, come in, go in and talk, it's cold outside."

Liu Haizhong was perceptive at this time and led the way directly, "Leaders, I will take you into the courtyard."

The crowd watching made way for them.

As Xiao Aiguo just moved, Xiao Yun was about to follow him, but was pulled back. Some people wanted to stay and watch the military vehicle, but were scared away by a look from the man who pulled Xiao Yun.

After there was no one at the entrance of the courtyard, the man took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Xiao Yun.

When Xiao Yun saw the two words on the cigarette box: "Zhonghua", his heart was immediately excited.

You have to know that there are rules for smoking in the army. Not all cigarettes can be smoked, and not all cigarettes can be smoked if you want.

Xiao Yun remembers very clearly that when he was serving in the army, the Dadao brand cigarettes were special supplies for platoon leaders and above, and the Jinzhong brand cigarettes were special supplies for battalion commanders and above. These were the cigarettes that Xiao Weiguo used to bring home.

Taihang Mountain cigarettes are special cigarettes for division commanders and above. Xiao Yun had heard of them but had never seen them.

The name of Zhonghua is well-known. Xiao Yun has heard of it in both his past and present lives, but this is a special high-quality product that is rarely seen in this era.

Looking at the person in front of him, Xiao Yun lowered his head and said respectfully: "Thank you, Chief."

He immediately took out a match and lit it for the person in front of him, and then it was his turn.

While smoking, the man glanced at Xiao Yun, then looked around the yard and said casually:

"How is it to live here? Is your grandfather still comfortable? Do you need to make some adjustments for you and clear out the people in this yard?"

Xiao Yun was shocked. He believed that the man in front of him had this right.

After all, when rules are made, there must be beneficiaries, and the word "adjustment" can explain it all.

Xiao Yun shook his head, "Commander, it's hard to describe how it lives here, but forget about the transfer. I've told my grandfather before that he doesn't want to do it, and he doesn't want to trouble the organization. He just wants to live a simple life."

The man paused while smoking a cigarette. "The old man is more conscious than us. If you have any difficulties, you must speak up. If you are really uncomfortable living here, even if the old man disagrees, we have to make some adjustments."

Xiao Yun nodded, "Okay, Chief, my grandfather is much better now, and his living environment is not affected."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and found something wrong in Xiao Yun's words sharply and clearly, "The living environment is fine, but the problem is with the people in the compound? Is someone bullying you?"

Xiao Yun took a puff of his cigarette and did not deny it. "It's just daily friction. It's common for neighbors to quarrel. But maybe someone is jealous of the good life my grandfather and I have."

"I want to teach that guy a lesson, but my grandfather is kind and doesn't want things to get too awkward, so let's just let it go." Xiao Yun's voice sounded somewhat helpless as he said the last part.

As a time traveler, he knew the character of the people in the compound, but since his grandfather stopped him, he couldn't insist on doing anything.

The man's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Is that so? If someone provokes you in the future, just do it. I'll handle it if anything goes wrong."

Xiao Yun thought about it for a moment and shook his head. "Commander, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? I can handle this matter in the compound. I have a question for you. Is there any news about my father? I can't get in touch with him."

When the man heard Xiao Yun say this, he stopped asking, "Your father's name is Xiao Weiguo, right? He's fine, but he has a mission and can't leave. He's safe, don't worry."

The man took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "What do you want from him?"

Xiao Yun shook his head. "It's nothing serious. Hasn't it been a long time since we last met? I want to ask him if he has found a stepmother for me."

"Cough cough." The man choked on a puff of cigarette and coughed several times. "You went to your dad just for this?"

Xiao Yun hummed, "Not only that, I'm fine, it's mainly because my grandpa is worried. He hasn't seen him for a long time, and I feel bad for the old man."

The man flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at Xiao Yun helplessly, "That's what a human being should say."

Halfway through the conversation, he reminded her, "Don't say anything about stepmother or not in front of your dad. I'm afraid he'll beat you."

Xiao Yun smiled awkwardly twice, "Okay, Chief, let's go into the house."

The man nodded, and Xiao Yun led the way, walking into the central courtyard.

Xiao Yun still felt a little bitter in his heart. He had thought that the factory leaders used the backdoor because of his father, but now it seems that is not the case.

A phone call didn't get through to his biological father, but some leaders came to visit Xiao Aiguo.

Hey.

Not bad.
