godfather

This time Shaotang was transferred back to Beijing to work in a detachment of the Beijing Armed Police.Relying on his previous background and professional expertise in the valleys of Shaanxi, he is also considered an old veteran with actual combat experience in the jungle, so he became the captain of the forest fire brigade near Xishan, Beijing, and his subordinates were responsible for the training of more than 300 recruits and various tasks. Task.

His current workplace is far away from Grandma Meng's house.Meng Xiaobei lives in Balizhuang, outside the third ring road in the east of Beijing, while Shaotang's detachment is located near the large forest park in Xishan, and the army barracks are in the vicinity of the Haidian Military Academy, near the Xiangshan Summer Palace, and the two sides are opposite each other looking distance.

Ever since his godfather came back, Meng Xiaobei's restless darling had already flown to the other side of Xiangshan Mountain, seeing that Tian'er was out of his mind.

He happened to be in the critical period of the school year at this time, it was the winter vacation at the end of the first semester of the third year of junior high school, and the high school entrance examination was coming in the summer, so he didn't have time.

During the winter vacation, I went to school every morning to attend cram school, and in the afternoon at home, I was watching the TV series "Journey to the West" while writing the exercise book. My handwriting was flying and flying, my butt was on pins and needles, and I was thinking about someone in the west of the city.

Sun Houzi threw out a golden cudgel, "Hey! You monster! Show your true form!!!"

Meng Xiaobei murmured to himself, "Hey! Tangtang, you goblin, stop pretending and show me your true colors..."

The two sometimes called. Meng Xiaobei was in the awkward stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder at that time, and only when he couldn't see anyone, he would speak boldly: "Godfather, you will call me every day from now on!"

Shaotang was sucking and sucking on the other end of the phone, his voice was very loud, and he didn't shy away from his son, obviously the noodles for lunch in the army cafeteria today.Shaotang chewed his rice and said, "I'm free, what are you doing playing so hard? What did I tell you?"

Meng Xiaobei: "Aren't you a leader now? Don't you have an office? You have a phone in your room!"

Shaotang: "The phone in my house is for business. Besides, your grandma's house doesn't have a phone, so it's inconvenient."

Meng Xiaobei: "I don't think it's troublesome to go downstairs! Then I will call you every day from now on, and you must answer."

Shaotang scolded with a smile: "You guys are annoying me to death! Just install such a broken phone, and ghosts and snakes come to me every two days, and I will pull the phone line when I turn back."

Meng Xiaobei: "...Who is looking for you?...Who, who is it?!"

Shaotang took a sip of the noodle soup: "Ancestor! Just save yourself."

Shaotang reminded suddenly: "Call your dad more often."

Meng Xiaobei snorted, "Aren't you my father?"

"That's different..." Shaotang said bluntly, "It doesn't matter if you don't call me, I don't care about it. How much you care about your parents, your brother, don't look back and forget that there is someone like you. "

It's interesting to think about it carefully, Shaotang seems to be saying, if you don't hit me, I won't forget you anyway.

Meng Xiaobei pretended to be indifferent: "Is there someone like me, and I can go back to Xigou in the future? I'm here, and that's it."

In other words, I depend on you.

He cheated on his son and matched him with a soft-hearted little dad.

At the age when boys are prone to cheating and fooling around, Meng Xiaobei didn't run around too much. He had an emotional sustenance in his heart, and Shaotang was the benchmark of integrity poked in his heart. The most important comfort and reliance in the family relationship, so he will never go too far, and his mind will follow Shaotang.

What if Shaotang didn't let him hang around one day in the future?

Meng Xiaobei didn't think about it that much, and couldn't imagine such a situation.

Once during the winter vacation, Meng Xiaobei actually went to the Xishan compound to look for Shaotang.

The bus is not easy to ride, and you need to back up several times. Meng Xiaobei is at the age of bold and flamboyant, and he is not too tired. He just rode the old 26 bicycle, braved the cold Siberian air that came to the capital in the severe winter, from Balizhuang rode all the way to Haidian.

At that time, I was really not afraid of hardships. When I met someone I liked, it took me a long way to catch up with the Red Army's [-].Meng Xiaobei drank the northwest wind all the way, and finally wrapped his head with a scarf, like an old man driving sheep in northern Shaanxi.He guided by the address and stopped several times along the way to ask people.

Halfway through the ride, the car chain fell off!

He stopped to repair the car again, took off his gloves, his hands were red from the cold, and breathed out fiercely to himself.He ran to the roadside non-staple food store and borrowed a screwdriver and a wrench, removed the large set himself, and reinstalled the chain.Although it is hard work, I am so beautiful in my heart.

Captain He had just finished training for the assessment subjects that afternoon, and was still wearing the firefighter's camouflage pants and green rubber shoes. He was a little surprised to see his godson—not because he didn't miss it, but because he was too busy to take care of it.

Shaotang frowned and asked, "You came here by yourself?"

The corner of Meng Xiaobei's mouth twitched: "Yes."

Shaotang: "How long have you been riding?!"

Meng Xiaobei didn't care about it: "It's okay, two hours. It will take me half an hour to repair the car on the road, otherwise I would have arrived long ago!"

Meng Xiaobei also hopes that he can act like a more mature man in front of the other party, who can cover everything and won't cause trouble for his godfather.

Shaotang glanced at his hands, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, took his godson's hand, wiped it carefully for a long time, and then took him into the courtyard to wash his hands.Meng Xiaobei's hand was black with motor oil, Shaotang pulled his wrist and walked all the way...

Xishan has a beautiful environment. Even in the harsh winter, the lush coniferous forest still reflects the green vitality of the mountain, with green trees and blue sky.

The conditions of the troops here have been upgraded to a new level. The barracks of the junior soldiers are all spacious and more than 30 square meters. There are no longer bunk beds, but single beds neatly arranged.Seeing Dui He come in, the little soldiers stood up and "popped" to attention, ready to listen to the training.Meng Xiaobei poked out a small face from behind Shaotang's shoulder, and winked at Brother Xiaobing.

As soon as Meng Xiaobei entered Shaotang's private office, he immediately showed his true colors, and quickly threw himself on the bed, split his legs and pouted his buttocks, he was so embarrassed, his eyes narrowed with proud wrinkles.

Shaotang frowned, but didn't reprimand, and quickly closed the door with his backhand, allowing his godson to close the door and mess around in the house.

Meng Xiaobei messed up the folded tofu cubes, and contentedly inhaled someone's breath in the pillow.

Meng Xiaobei asked: "Being a high official, sleeping alone at night, isn't it boring?"

Shaotang said: "Finally I can't hear other people snoring, I feel so bored."

Meng Xiaobei: "Aren't you... just being with other people makes you very annoying?"

Shaotang: "...No, I'm used to being alone."

This time Meng Xiaobei didn't find magazines like "Popular Film" with pornographic photos of women under the mattress, and he was very happy.However, he found a postal package on Shaotang's desk, which contained a gold pen in a high-end gift box and a men's watch.

"Such a good pen, who gave it to you?" Meng Xiaobei's first reaction was, "Is it a girl?"

He already knows that his little father has no mother, and he has a bad relationship with his father. Who else cares about sending things in life?

Shaotang snorted: "What girl. Who's inside, you've seen it, it turns out that Duan Hongyu is from your father's factory in Xigou."

Meng Xiaobei was immediately in high spirits: "It's the one who killed someone in Xigou and got his legs chopped off, hahahaha!"

Shaotang narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "You still know that 'killing people'."

The corner of Meng Xiaobei's mouth twitched: "How old am I? I don't know anything. That Duan Hongyu sent you something..."

Shaotang impatiently waved his hand: "Hurry up and take it away. If I hadn't saved this good pen for you to draw with, I would have told the postman to reject it, saying that there is no such person in our hospital, and there is no such person as me."

There must still be quite a few people around Shaotang, but Meng Xiaobei was an idiot back then and didn't know.

Shaotang mentioned the "ghosts and snake spirits" who pestered him, for example, including his acquaintance Duan Hongyu.After leaving Beijing for many years, He Shaotang had almost forgotten about this person.As soon as he was transferred back, the old neighbors in the Yuquan Road compound knew Xin'er, saying that Boss He's nephew had returned to the Beijing army.Afterwards, Duan Hongyu called and chased him to Xishan.

Don't think that Young Master Duan still can't forget his old love and came to woo him. This person is here to show off and show off.Duan Hongyu raised his voice on the phone, and said with a smile: "Shaotang—I haven't seen you for five years, you are different, buddy, we are also different, can you imagine it?"

"I don't work in the ministry now, I'm going out on my own, and my company has registered an office in Hong Kong! Ai Inner Mongolia has a lot of sandstorms, Shaotang, do you want to blow it off?"

Shaotang sneered: "Blow, the skin on his face is thickened, making him invulnerable."

Duan Hongyu said, "I'm driving a four-wheeled car now! Shaotang, do you still drive that three-wheeled 'chug-chug' with black smoke coming out of the rear of your army's rear?"

"I now go to Hong Kong twice a year. I don't do anything else, just to taste seafood, and I go to Macau just to gamble."

"And now, I don't need a watch that is not imported from Japan. Recently, I play with a watch from Japan's 'Seiko'! Shaotang, what kind of watch do you wear?"

Shaotang said: "Hey, Duan Hongyu, are your back doors all inlaid with diamonds? Gold ones are the most durable."

Duan Hongyu concluded: "He Shaotang, don't blame me for not giving you a chance back then, do you really regret it now?"

Biting his cigarette, Shaotang nodded on the phone and said, "I really regret it a little bit. Back then, I gave you the dowry and posted it to our He family with your own dowry. I posted it early today."

Duan Hongyu teased in a low voice ambiguously: "Hey, don't tell me, the thing in front of me is actually inlaid with a few grains of gold, do you want to try it someday?"

Before throwing off the phone, Shaotang also taunted with rough words: "As far as your diamond-encrusted ass is concerned, gold bars are the best match for you, and human dicks are really not suitable for you! Get out!"

Don't say that Young Master Duan can't understand, the group of high-ranking children who came out of the Yuquan Road compound back then, by the mid-to-late 80s, many of them have gone overseas to do business, do foreign trade, and use various channels to accumulate wealth by virtue of their own background.It is no longer fashionable to join the army and serve as a soldier. The talented children of the nobles have transformed themselves into managers of bureaucratic capital, walking at the forefront of the road of first being rich and then getting rich.There are very few people like He Shaotang who still work in the army down-to-earth and don't care about making a fortune. He is an outlier.

Meng Xiaobei put on a high-end watch on his wrist. He was so happy that his godfather gave it to him. He jumped off the bed, hung it on Shaotang's back, and strangled Shaotang's neck from behind!His arms are quite strong now, he is a man, his biceps are bulging, and his small forearms are stretched out with blue veins!

Shaotang was strangled and fell back, and then he struggled hard, and with a force from his waist, Meng Xiaobei's whole body weight was pulled over, and he was lifted up on his back.

Meng Xiaobei lay on Shaotang's back like a sloppy bug: "Ouch—"

Shaotang whispered: "Don't mess around."

Meng Xiaobei whispered, "What's the matter? I used to be able to make trouble."

Shaotang: "The past is the past. Someone in the corridor saw it, let go."

Shaotang put him down, fastened his neckline, straightened his military jacket, and shaved his chin clean.Meng Xiaobei suddenly felt a little lost, and complained in a low voice: "Godfather, you are more 'correct' than before."

Shaotang's eyes turned black, and he took a deep look at Xiaobei: "I'm serious with you."

Meng Xiaobei was slightly disappointed: "What's the difference between me and others?"

He still had a pair of colored string bracelets knitted for his godfather hidden in his trouser pocket, thinking, if Shaotang treats him so coldly again, he won't give it to this guy!This is the small mind of a person in secret love, one moment is very warm, and the other moment it seems to be thrown into an ice pool and it will quickly cool down, worrying about gains and losses, suspicious, and sentimental.

Shaotang said: "Are you the same as others? Is others my precious son?"

Is the other person my "treasure" or "son"?Shaotang thought to himself.

It is true that Shaotang is only dignified in front of Meng Xiaobei, and it cannot be said that the relationship with each other is unfamiliar, or that they can't let go, absolutely not.When a person is placed in an extremely important position emotionally, this is a kind of value and respect.Therefore, he can say rough and nasty things to Duan Hongyu without taboo, and he never behaves like that to Xiaobei.To put it bluntly, in his eyes, Duan Hongyu was no different from an organ. Meng Xiaobei was different. Meng Xiaobei was raised as a "little padded jacket" as a baby.

But any man can probably cut his heart in half, one half is extremely slutty, and the other half is the reserve of beauty and innocence.

Beibei belongs to the reserved land that is always filled with the fragrance of mellow soil.

That afternoon, Shaotang also used his power for personal gain, calling the top soldiers of their battalion out for practice, and gave a short 10-minute report performance.The little soldiers were also in high spirits. The eldest nephew of the captain's family came to visit, and the younger ones showed their hands and faces!

Meng Xiaobei was really eye-opening, watching Shaotang lead his soldiers to practice high-altitude abseiling and fast cross-country climbing.Shaotang jumped from the top of the seventh floor by pulling the rope, skillfully controlling the balance at high altitude, and swinging to the ground in a few seconds while twisting the rope with his legs; Going up to the balcony on the second floor, holding on to the railing on the third floor with both hands, swinging up with one leg, and then up to the third floor, and even reaching the seventh floor within a minute with both hands...Meng Xiaobei was dumbfounded.

A man with a military masculinity and a strong body is the most attractive to a boy of Meng Xiaobei's age.This is the life in the army that Shaotang is proud of, and this is the person Meng Xiaobei is proud of.

Most of their troops passed by and clapped their hands: "Shaotang, it's really possible, the physical strength really doesn't look like someone who is about to be thirty!"

Shaotang lowered his head and took off his gloves. In front of his godson, he choked on the leader on the spot: "Am I thirty? Do you think I look like me?!"

Datou hurriedly waved his hands: "...No, absolutely not! What is the difference between you and their eighteen or nineteen-year-old children!"

In a place where no one was in the corridor, Meng Xiaobei hugged his little dad from behind: "Godfather, there is still a difference between you and eighteen or nineteen years old!"

Shaotang scolded in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, eat my tofu?"

Meng Xiaobei started to make a fuss, relying on his favored wolfishness, stretched out his hand to hit his chest, and pinched Shaotang's left chest muscle: "Eat your old tofu!"

Shaotang's eyes suddenly shot sullenly, and he threatened: "You still think I'm old?"

Meng Xiaobei laughed foolishly: "Are your thighs thicker? Your waist is even thicker than before!"

Shaotang asked in a low voice: "You look fat?"

Meng Xiaobei seriously commented: "I'm not fat either, my chest seems to have thickened."

Shaotang took the towel and washbasin to the water room to wipe himself, and Meng Xiaobei also followed, but Shaotang said don't go, they are all soldiers.Meng Xiaobei said why can't I go?Shaotang intentionally hurt him, "It's a bunch of naked soldiers, what are you going to see? You like to watch this, right?"

Meng Xiaobei was in the back, and said unhappily: "Do you know which one I like to watch?!"

……

It just so happened that this afternoon, Meng Xiaobei didn't expect that a woman came from the army dormitory and said she wanted to find He Shaotang.

Meng Xiaobei had never dealt with women around his godfather before, this was the first time, so he was not used to it.He Shaotang was indeed being watched this time in Beijing, and Yingying and Yanyan all rushed forward.

Meng Xiaobei was standing at the door of the office waiting for his godfather, holding a thermos in his hand, he was eating the ice cream that Shaotang had just made for him from the grocery store.

The woman is stylishly dressed, with pretty facial features. She wears a gabardine coat with a fur collar and red lipstick. Looking at the delicate makeup between her eyebrows and eyes, she looks like an actor who often goes on stage.The man was carrying a bag of things, his eyes slanted, and he handed it over casually: "Hey, hold it for me."

Meng Xiaobei was treated as an orderly on guard, with an ice cream spoon in his mouth, he picked up the things: "Who are you?"

The woman stared at Meng Xiaobei: "Why don't you know me? I just came here a few days ago, and I'm looking for He Shaotang! He won't be in the team again today, right?"

Another little soldier passed by, with an expression of watching the excitement for fear that the world would not be chaotic, nodded and bowed with a smile: "Yo, sister-in-law, are you looking for our captain again?"

sister in law?

Oh...Meng Xiaobei's heart twitched, and a "clang" could be heard in his ears, as if his heart had been pulled off the ground.His face was extremely calm, the spoon was still in his mouth, and he tilted his head and looked at it calmly.

The woman asked: "Is He Shaotang here?"

"Uh..." Xiao Bing's face didn't change color and his heart beat: "I don't seem to be here, I saw the captain driving out just now!"

Meng Xiaobei pointed at it with a spoon mercilessly: "He's in the water room at the other end of the corridor."

The woman went straight away.

Meng Xiaobei stared blankly at the other party, and suddenly said: "Hey, don't go there, they are all a group of naked men, do you like to see that?"

The woman suddenly changed her face and became unhappy: "Hey, you little soldier, how do you talk? Hey, you..."

The two of them almost kept talking in the corridor.

Someone nearby slowly gathered around to watch, what's the matter today, there are two people fighting outside the boss's office door?

The little soldier who passed by just now winked at Meng Xiaobei from the opposite side: "My nephew, why don't you open your eyes!"The captain asked us to make up nonsense, so why did you make him suffer by telling the truth!I mocked her as "sister-in-law", she is not our real sister-in-law!

Meng Xiaobei's heart suddenly felt chilly, dazed, and extremely disappointed.

He actually didn't know many things about Shaotang.

If the other party doesn't confess, he doesn't even know the fart, just like a little fool who shaves his head and gets hot.

He reached into his pocket, clutching the bracelet.He sat cross-legged on the bed and weaved all afternoon yesterday, but he couldn't weave a towel scarf by himself, so he wove a bracelet and gave it to his godfather.There are strands of silk thread and colorful ropes, and the heart is entangled in the square inch.

Meng Xiaobei bit the corner of his mouth, turned his face away and looked out of the window, a little man has self-respect, weaving a bracelet is a gift for a loved one, if it is boring, he will never give it to him again.

Meng Xiaobei actually misunderstood this day, and what happened next was even more unexpected.
