Chapter 89 Visiting Comrades in Arms

Ye Jianguo smiled bitterly and said: "The person who answered the phone was not my comrade, but a girl. She said that my old comrade was not at home and asked us to come another day."

Ye Tianming frowned and didn't say anything. These words were really ridiculous. If he wasn't at home, would he be on the phone?

It was obvious that he didn't want to see their family. Ye Jianguo's face looked a little gloomy, and he naturally vaguely guessed the meaning of these words.

A bitter smile appeared on Liu Cuirong's face at the side, "Old man, is it because you, an old comrade, don't welcome our family?"

Ye Jianguo smiled bitterly and said: "But I made an appointment with him before, and he welcomes us. Who would have thought that this would happen..."

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang again. Ye Jianguo glanced at the phone and hurriedly connected it. A cheerful old man's voice came from the other end.

"Hey! Lao Ye! I'm really sorry. It was my naive granddaughter who answered the phone just now. My granddaughter has no eyes and can't speak. Don't mind me! Where are you? My wife and I are waiting Looking after you!"

Ye Jianguo smiled and said: "Lao Zhou, is it inconvenient for your family to have something to do today? If it's inconvenient, we can come another day."

"What the hell! You said that to me and you are cheating! You were my old squad leader back then, and we have the best friendship as brothers. Is it possible that you are cheating on me? Come on, where are you?"

Ye Jianguo glanced at Liu Cuirong, Liu Cuirong nodded quickly, and Ye Jianguo finally said:

"We have arrived at the gate of your community, but I don't know what building number your family lives in?"

"Ah? You are all here, Lao Ye, tell me what you are saying! Oh, just stand still and I will pick you up right away!"

"No, no, no, we can just go there by ourselves, no need for trouble." Ye Jianguo quickly refused, and the old man on the other end paused and smiled bitterly:

"Old squad leader, you are really having an affair with me. Cheng, then come over by yourselves. I will tidy up the house again and live on the top floor of Building 28."

"Okay, let's go there now."

After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on Ye Jianguo's face again, and his hanging heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now he thought he disliked their family, but after this phone call, he felt much more comfortable.

Liu Cuirong looked around and saw a fruit shop not far away. She hurriedly said:

"Old man, we can't come empty-handed, otherwise we'll make people uncomfortable. I'll buy some fruit to take with me."

Ye Jianguo looked at the two cigarettes in his hand and smiled: "As an old comrade of mine, I like smoking, especially this old Hongyun. Didn't you see that I brought two cigarettes?"

Liu Cuirong said: "That won't work! These two cigarettes of yours are not good. Besides, you don't know if people like smoking now. Wait, I'll buy some fruit."

Liu Cuirong said and went to buy a few boxes of fruit. When he was checking out at the door, Ye Tianming saw Liu Cuirong take out a plastic bag wrapped with three layers inside and three outside from his pocket, and he shakily took it out from inside. A few crumpled paper tickets.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tianming felt a little sour in his heart and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

When he came back, he only wanted to arrange a place for his parents. He ignored the fact that his parents had no money.

No, I have to give some money to my parents later, Ye Tianming thought to himself.

Carrying the fruit, the family walked towards the community.

Ye Yunfei's legs are better than before. She is still slightly lame, but she has been able to completely throw away the crutches. When walking in the community, passers-by look at her curiously from time to time.

They all had strange looks in their eyes, because the way this family was dressed... was really incompatible with this place.

Almost all the people living here are wealthy families, each house costs six to seven million. They are either bosses or leaders, and all of them are well-dressed.

At this moment, seeing the shabby appearance of Ye Tianming's family, they couldn't help but frown.

Ye Jianguo and Liu Cuirong were obviously a little embarrassed and embarrassed. Their faces turned red when they looked at the strange looks of passers-by.

They felt uncomfortable walking here. After all, they had never been to such a magnificent place.

Ye Tianming's face was calm. Although this place was considered a good community, it was like a slum compared with Longtian Seaview Villa.

It's just that my parents don't know the house prices in the Longtian Seaview Villa area.

That day, the second elder asked about the house price. Ye Tianming kept a low profile and said that the price was only a few thousand yuan. It is estimated that the second elder is still kept in the dark.

Soon they arrived at Building 28, took the elevator upstairs, and finally reached the top floor.

As soon as I got off the elevator, I saw a red wooden door, exuding a simple and noble atmosphere.

Ye Jianguo and Liu Cuirong hurriedly straightened their clothes, and then Ye Jianguo knocked on the door.

After a while, footsteps came from inside.

The next second, the door slowly opened, revealing the face of a charming and elegant woman.

The woman's age could not be seen for a moment. She was wearing a lavender dress, with an oval face, fair skin, a beautiful face, and well-maintained. She had a silver hairpin in her hair and a smile on her face, which made it easy for people to feel close to her. .

But Ye Tianming raised his eyebrows. After practicing for several years, he could tell someone's personality at a glance.

Although this woman looked gentle and beautiful, Ye Tianming was still aware of the way she had inadvertently looked at their family just now.

He could also see the faint arrogance in the woman's eyes. Intuitively, Ye Tianming felt that this woman should be a little dissatisfied with poverty and love for wealth.

But he didn't say anything and followed the two elders quietly. The woman took the lead to say hello and said with a smile:

"Is it Lao Ye's family?"

Ye Jianguo smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes...yes."

"Quick forward, fast forward, Lao Zhou has been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as the family entered the house, they heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from inside.

A thin old man with a red face and full of energy, wearing a military green shirt, walked quickly with an excited smile on his face!

"Old monitor!"

"Old Zhou!"

Ye Jianguo also looked excited and held hands with the old man tightly.

There was a flash of tears in the old man's eyes, and he held Ye Jianguo's hand and refused to let go, "Old squad leader! It's been more than ten years since we said goodbye! We brothers haven't seen each other in ten years!"

Ye Jianguo was so emotional that he held the old man's hand and was speechless.

The old man wiped the corners of his eyes, looked at Liu Cuirong behind him, and smiled quickly: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Liu Cuirong was a little embarrassed, but still smiled and sighed.

The old man looked back again, and at this moment his eyes met with Ye Tianming's. The old man said with emotion:

"Old monitor, are these your children behind you?"

Ye Jianguo smiled and said: "Yes! The person who opened the door just now was..."

"It's your siblings!"

The woman who opened the door just now smiled and said:

"Lao Zhou, you are so confused. Why don't you let your old squad leader and his family do the work? What are you talking about standing at the door?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The old man smiled sheepishly and hurriedly led Ye Jianguo's family to sit down. Ye Tianming didn't speak, but just looked at them quietly.

This house is large in area and decorated in a low-key yet luxurious Chinese style.

There are many valuable collections of cultural relics placed on the bookcase in the living room. That vase is worth hundreds of thousands. The living standard of the owner of the house can be seen at a glance.

A few people sat down and exchanged some pleasantries. Ye Tianming learned from their conversation that the old man's name was Zhou Weiguo, and the woman who opened the door was his wife, Wu Ping.

Wu Ping brought a few plates of fruit, got up and walked to a bedroom next door.

Inside, a beautiful girl in her early twenties was sitting on the bed playing with her mobile phone, with an impatient look on her face.

Seeing Wu Ping walking in, she said angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about dad doing? Didn't you say before that you are not allowed to bring any guests to the house? It's so noisy! I hate people coming to the house the most!"

Wu Ping quickly closed the door tightly, sat next to the girl and said seriously:

"Ziyi, today's guests are not simple! They are your father's old monitor!"

"What happened to the old monitor?"

Wu Ping frowned and said: "You kid, you don't have a look, do you? Think about it, this is your father's old monitor. He must have been promoted after so many years, and he is probably a high-ranking official now, so we have to fawn over him!" Mom doesn’t like guests coming either, she would have kicked them away long ago!”

Zhou Ziyi stuck out her tongue: "I don't think this family is like a big official. They are dressed in rags and are worthless street vendors."

Wu Ping was also stunned, and her face changed slightly. She also discovered this. Would a high official wear such cheap and poor clothes?

Moreover, the broken smoke and broken fruits were not even allowed on their countertops. Thinking of this, Wu Ping also felt doubtful in her heart, but she still said:

"It's also possible that they are keeping a low profile. The richer the official, the more he has to pay attention to his influence. Mom, go find out!"

Wu Ping walked outside and sat down next to Zhou Weiguo.

She secretly looked at a few people, frowning slightly, listening to the greetings of a few people, and suddenly asked with a smile intentionally or unintentionally:

"Old squad leader, I heard that Lao Zhou often talked about you, saying that you were an all-round talent in the unit/team back then, and you were highly regarded by the leaders!"

Ye Jianguo waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "It's all a matter of the past, so don't mention it."

Wu Ping rolled her eyes, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How could you not mention it? I didn't expect that the old squad leader would be so humble even if he had the ability! By the way, old squad leader, I heard that you retired from the army and found a job. Working in the bureau, you are now the director, right? And sister-in-law, you should also be the leader of the institutional unit, right? "

As soon as the words came out, Ye Jianguo and Liu Cuirong's expressions froze, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
