Chapter 231 Big shot (thanks to the 99 lord of the violent fat pig)
Xu Changshan entered the mining area, looked at the familiar derrick in the distance, and couldn't help but miss the years of renovation here.
At that time, the mining area was full of busy scenes. Whenever it was time to finish work, the miners came out of the mine covered in coal dust. The first thing they did was to take a shower and drink.
Not long after Xu Changshan came here, his medical skills became known. The honest workers offered to help him with heavy physical labor and take care of him. Later, they unanimously recommended him to the infirmary. Make things difficult.
Because there were no vehicles and pedestrians on the road for a long time, a lot of weeds had grown, and we arrived at the headquarters at that time after walking more than a hundred meters.
In front of the headquarters, there is also a signboard of a provincial key cultural relics protection unit, which gave a brief introduction to it. It turned out that this place was used as a temporary combat center of the People’s Liberation Army during the Huaihai Campaign, and it is still a patriotic education base.
The building has a history of more than 100 years. The main body is a stone structure. Although it has experienced a hundred years of wind and rain, it still stands, but the doors and windows were replaced with aluminum alloys later, as if they were patched with metal patches. Discord.
Xu Changshan introduced that this small building used to be the place where the leaders of the mining area worked.
Xu Chun came to the propaganda column next to him, and there were still some photos inside, but due to long-term exposure to the outdoors, they were basically whitened and blurred to the point where the images on them could not be seen.
When Xu Changshan was introducing the past to his grandson, a black Maybach S680 drove in.
Xu Chunliang said with a smile: "He also said that no one is allowed to enter, isn't this a car that can enter?"
Xu Changshan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry about him, let's go to the derrick to have a look."
The car stopped next to the small building. The driver got out of the car first, and then opened the door. An old man with white hair and childlike face got out of the car. The old man was dressed plainly and had a straight waist.
He stood in front of the car and looked at the small building. When he saw the grandpa and grandson walking towards him, he took the initiative to say hello: "Mr., are you a local?"
Xu Changshan smiled and said, "I worked here in the 1970s."
The white-haired old man said: "In the 1970s, he was an old worker."
Xu Changshan nodded and said: "Old worker, yes, you are considered an old worker. Have you worked in the mine before?"
The white-haired old man shook his head and said, "I'm not from here, but my father fought here back then."
"That's the old revolution."
"Yes, he is an old revolutionary."
Two old men of similar age chatted about each other. The old man's surname was Qiao, and he was two years older than Xu Changshan. He traveled this time to see the place where his father lived and fought.
Xu Chunliang paid special attention to the old man's license plate. It was a Beijing plate, which proved that he came from the capital. This old man was either rich or expensive.
Xu Changshan introduced Xu Chunliang to Qiao Lao: "My grandson."
Qiao Lao smiled and said: "It's rare for a good-looking talent to be filial. Nowadays, there are very few young people who are willing to accompany the elderly."
Xu Changshan said proudly: "My grandson is very filial and capable. Although he is young, he is already a deputy department-level cadre."
Xu Chunliang was a little embarrassed. His internally hired deputy department was not worth mentioning at all. Just by looking at the Maybach, he could guess that this old Joe had an extraordinary identity.
Qiao Lao smiled and said: "The world now belongs to these young people." The driver followed behind them, Xu Chunliang did not turn his head, and from the sound of the driver's footsteps, he could tell that this person must be a well-trained expert , I became more and more curious about the identity of the old man.
Old Qiao also realized this, turned around and said, "Xiao Wu, you don't have to follow, I'll walk around with this Mr. Xu."
The driver stopped: "Yes!"
Xu Changshan looked back at the driver, and said to Qiao Lao: "You must be a big cadre, right?"
"Oh? How did you see that?"
"Your car is not cheap."
Mr. Qiao laughed loudly and said, "The car belongs to my grandson. How can I have that kind of money? I also live on my retirement salary. I retired from the post of deputy department. I might be considered an official in Dongzhou, but I Living in the capital, the deputy department level may not be as good as the deputy department level of your grandson in the capital."
Xu Changshan also laughed: "I've heard a jingle."
Old Qiao responded humorously: "If you don't come to Beijing, you don't know your official status; if you don't go to Yangcheng, you don't know your car is bad; if you don't go to Northeast, you don't know you're timid; Hillbilly."
Xu Changshan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is the sentence."
Xu Chunliang listened to him, and thought that there was one thing missing, he didn't know that he was not in good health when he arrived at Qiongdao! This Mr. Qiao must know that he probably omitted it on purpose because he thought it was indecent.
After all, Xu Changshan had worked here and acted as a temporary tour guide for them, telling them that the bunker was facing demolition several times in the 1960s and 1970s, but because the building itself was too strong, the wooden part on the top of the bunker had been destroyed up.
Old Qiao said with emotion that such a complete blockhouse is rare and should be kept for future generations to see. This is the evidence that the Japanese devils invaded our great rivers and mountains.
Xu Changshan pointed to the derrick not far away and said: "This wooden derrick has been around since the 1930s, and it has been almost a hundred years old, and it is still in good condition. Regardless of who built it, the quality of the past projects It's really tough."
Old Qiao looked at the derrick and said, "This kind of wood is rare now."
Xu Changshan thought of the current damage to the environment, deforestation, and serious ecological damage. Among other things, he said that there are no good medicinal materials in the mountains and forests near Dongzhou.
Only then did Mr. Qiao ask about Xu Changshan's occupation. After learning that Xu Changshan was an old Chinese doctor, he expressed his admiration. Mr. Qiao said that when he was young, he also wanted to be a doctor who helped the world and saved people, but he still failed to realize his dream .
The road ahead was overgrown with weeds and the road was difficult to walk. Xu Chunliang worried that the two elderly people would not be able to walk, and suggested that they could return.
Qiao Lao said: "I heard from my father that several of his comrades died here, and they seem to be buried somewhere near here."
Xu Changshan said: "You mean the Tomb of the Seven Heroes, I'll take you there." Boss Qiao was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
The road past has been submerged in weeds. Xu Chunliang reminded the two old people to be careful. Xu Changshan pointed to the Fatong group ahead and said, "Do you see that piece of Fatong? There is a cypress forest behind, and the tomb of the Seven Heroes is inside."
Xu Chunliang took the initiative to explore the way ahead, and the two old people followed behind him. After all, they were getting old, and their foreheads began to sweat.
Passing through the fatong group, there is a small river behind, and the bridge has collapsed, but fortunately the river has already dried up. Xu Chunliang carefully helped the two old people over there, and finally came to the cypress forest that grandpa mentioned.
There is a concrete tomb in the forest, which is the tomb of the seven heroes that Qiao Lao wanted to find. The names of the seven heroes are engraved on the tombstone.
Mr. Qiao wiped off the dust on the tombstone with his sleeve, with a solemn and solemn expression, he whispered: "Uncle Li, Uncle Qin, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Yang, Uncle Qian, Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang, I will come and see for my father." You, he has been thinking of you all these years, your family is very good, don't worry."
Xu Chunconscience said, the families of these seven heroes are all here, why not come to visit their graves? But after thinking about it, Mr. Qiao is so old, and the descendants of heroes are at least three or four generations, so I guess not many remember this incident.
Qiao Lao said: "Uncles, I came in a hurry this time. I didn't bring you wine. I can only visit the grave to show my heart. I will definitely come again in a few days."
Xu Changshan opened the snakeskin sack, and there were two bottles of wine in it. Originally, he planned to bring it to Lao Lu, but he didn't expect that Lao Lu had passed away, so the wine was not sent out, and it just came in handy.
Old Qiao pursed his lips, nodded to Xu Changshan to express his gratitude, unscrewed the wine bottle, poured the two bottles of wine in front of the tomb, and bowed respectfully to the tomb of the Seven Heroes.
Xu Changshan also bowed and saluted with him. Without these heroes, there would be no happy life today.
Grandpa has done this, of course Xu Chunliang followed suit, but he felt that the seven heroes did not receive the treatment they deserved.
The three of them returned to the car together in the afternoon. The two elderly people were a little tired, so Xu Changshan bid farewell to Mr. Qiao.
Old Qiao asked where they were going. Hearing that they were going back to Dongzhou, he invited them to get in the car.
Xu Changshan originally wanted to decline, but Mr. Qiao kindly invited him, so he agreed to get in the car.
The driver Xiao Wu helped them put the snakeskin bag into the trunk, Xu Chunliang went to the passenger seat, and the two old people sat in the back chatting.
Xu Chunliang found that the feeling of sitting in a high-end car is indeed different, and he will have to drive one if he has the opportunity in the future, but people say that driving a BMW and Mercedes-Benz is basically the driver of this class of Mercedes-Benz.
Xu Chunliang smiled at the driver Xiao Wu: "How much is this car?"
Xiao Wudao: "More than three million."
Xu Chunliang said: "It's enough to buy a suite in the center of Dongzhou."
Xiao Wudao: "Is the housing price in Dongzhou so expensive?"
Xu Chunliang said: "The city center is about 30,000."
Xiao Wudao: "Do you have a room?"
Xu Chunliang laughed: "No, I'm an old man now, living with my grandfather."
Xiao Wu also laughed: "It seems that the relationship between you two is really good."
Entering Dongzhou City, it is the time when the traffic is the most congested.
Xu Changshan originally wanted them to find a crossing to drop them off, but Mr. Qiao insisted on sending his father and father to the door of their house. When they were approaching the door of Huichuntang, a delivery guy riding an electric scooter slammed into the car door.
Everyone in the car was taken aback. Xiao Wu pushed open the door and jumped down. He was agile and grabbed the courier boy who was trying to escape: "How did you ride a bike?"
