Chapter 84 [Children of the Courtyard] (Part 2)

Chapter 84 [Children in the Big Courtyard] (Part 2)

Chu Yanran was unhappy: "Grandpa Du, please look at me with admiration for three days, don't underestimate my grandfather!"

"I taught him to read and write step by step. I am his teacher..." When Du Shankui spoke, Chu Yanran had already called her grandfather Chu Zhennan over there.

Chu Zhennan happened to hear this, picked up the phone and cursed: "Fuck you, you are better than me than chasing the female warrior of the art troupe. What else do you have? Damn it, I am not the rude guy who charges you, you can climb to where you are today."

Du Shankui also smiled and scolded: "I am from the real estate industry and I like Tujia Birds. Unlike some people who pretend to be stupid and look for canary, what... That American female reporter is still waiting for you."

"Fuck, just do it!"

Zhang Yang almost laughed out loud when he heard it. Damn, the general is also a human being. The general's conversation is so fucked and so direct. Du Shankui and Chu Zhennan cursed each other for a few words, and began to ask each other about their well-being. After chatting for about ten minutes, they hung up the phone with an unsatisfactory look. Seeing Zhang Yang's eyes different, they were just polite just now, but now out of a kindness and warmth towards their nephews, he smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, you are Yanran's boyfriend!"

Zhang Yang was stunned. It was obviously the unspoken old man Chu Zhennan said something. However, although he and Chu Yanran are not a passionate couple now, they are definitely not ordinary friends. The feelings and mutual care between the two have long exceeded the boundaries of ordinary friends. Chu Yanran's tenderness towards him has already moved him. Zhang Yang smiled implicitly, did not admit it, nor did he deny it. In the eyes of Du Shankui and his wife, this is equivalent to admitting.

.Because of this sudden increase in this relationship, the distance between them has been much closer. Du Shankui invited Zhang Yang to have dinner at home. Zhang Yang was still worried about Qin Qing's affairs. In addition, he did not like to eat at other people's houses. Such an atmosphere would make him feel restrained. Just when he was about to say goodbye, Du Shankui's youngest son Du Tianye arrived. Du Tianye was 36 years old and is now the director of the Fifth Room of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. When he heard about Zhang Yang and Chu Yanran, he enthusiastically tried to keep him for dinner.

Zhang Yang saw that he was very kind to refuse. Du Tianye was cheerful, had a broad friendship and was extremely talkative. Zhang Yang was also an eloquent person. Although he restrained his former arrogance, his agility and humor were still everywhere. Originally, in his impression, these high-ranking children were all useless characters who were ignorant of their four bodies and were not diligent and were under the influence of their ancestors. However, with the increase in contact with these high-ranking children, they found that most of them were outstanding people. Thinking about it, this is very normal. Their parents are extremely excellent. From a genetic perspective, their genes should not be too bad. In addition, their living environments since childhood, their horizons are naturally different. From a perspective of problems, their position is naturally deeper than that of ordinary people.

Du Shankui and his son were all huge. Their ancestral home is Shandong. They adhere to their brilliance of drinking large bowls of wine and eating meat. Zhang Yang is a never-ending person when drinking. After two bowls, Du Shankui and his son have a deep affection.

Feng Yumei didn't drink alcohol. After cooking, she held a cup of tea and looked at the three of them with a smile. The quietness and kindness that the old lady showed and Du Shankui's boldness formed a sharp contrast. In a military family, such a combination is not uncommon. Feng Yumei said: "When Yanran was a child, she came to Beijing with his grandfather and lived in our house for half a year. I treated her as her granddaughter!"

Du Tianye smiled and said, "Mom, you are talking about Yanran. That little girl always tied two braids when she was a child. I took her to Liulichang to play. She kept asking me to buy candied haws for her all day. It was said that she hadn't seen her for six or seven years."

Du Shankui glared at him dissatisfiedly and said, "You don't stay at home all day, you run around everywhere. I can't see you, let alone others."

Du Tianye smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad, am I busy with work? I run around all day long. Now it is no longer than in the past. There are more officials and more people commit crimes. We work in the Discipline Inspection Commission and have to work all day long to clear out these borers in the cadre team."

Du Shankui took a sip of wine and slapped the wine glass on the table and said, "You can't say that, most of our party's cadre team are good."

When Du Tianye heard this, he smiled unanimously.

No one knows his son, but Du Shankui immediately realized that his son had different opinions about his words, and widened his eyes and said, "What? Are you not convinced?"

"How dare I not accept it? I don't accept it, no one dares to accept it. Who told you to be my father?" Du Tianye's words still didn't agree.

Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing.

Du Shankui cursed and turned to Zhang Yang and said, "Xiao Zhang, are you right about me? Corruption and using power for personal gain are an individual phenomenon after all, and most of our cadres are good."

Zhang Yang nodded in agreement: "Most cadres who are not corruption are good!" His answer was extremely cunning. Du Tianye was the first to realize it and laughed: "Zhang Yang is a little sloppy, no wonder he was young and intervened in the Beijing Office."

Du Shankui put a piece of beef in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and savored it for a while and said: "Although I am not very familiar with the things outside the army, I also heard that the reputation of the Beijing Office is not very good. It is said that the land prices in Beijing have been fryed by the Beijing Office in various places. Every year during the holidays, the Beijing Office is also busy giving gifts. It can be said that the gift-giving atmosphere in the officialdom of Beijing was brought up by the Beijing Office."

Feng Yumei knew that her husband was unrestrained and was afraid that he would make the guests embarrassed. She interrupted with a smile: "Not that exaggerated!"

Zhang Yang smiled and Du Tianye said: "In fact, the emergence of the Beijing Office in China has a long history. In the past, it was called the guild hall, and now it is called the Beijing Office. Now it is demonized. But the Beijing Office is useful after all, the Beijing Office is large and the threshold for relevant departments is high. If the central government wants to contact and communicate well with the local government, the Beijing Office is indispensable. When you see the disadvantages, you must see its advantages. There is a saying that... Existence is reasonable. Since the Beijing Office can exist, it proves that it has the value of existence."

Du Shankui said: "If it's just for the sake of relationships and going to the road, I think it's okay if the Beijing Office is closed." He smiled and turned to Zhang Yang and said: "I'm just talking about the matter, but I haven't targeted you."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "The level of my office in Beijing is very low. I want to give gifts, but unfortunately I can't find a way. To put it bluntly, our place is the office of Chunyang County Government Guesthouse in Beijing."

Du Tianye laughed: "But this job is easy to get into trouble when it is stationed in Beijing. Think about it, you are facing gold, silver and treasures all day long, and the life you live is bright and bright. If you are not careful, you will fall into the water and never turn over. If you can pass this level, it will be of great benefit to your future development." While he was speaking, his cell phone rang. After answering, it turned out that it was his classmate Hong Weiji in the Party School. Hong Weiji invited him to have dinner at Kunlun Hotel tomorrow at noon. Du Tianye agreed readily, hung up the phone, and then said to Zhang Yang: "Hong Weiji's phone number, he and I are classmates in the Party School."

Zhang Yang sighed in his heart that Hong Weiji is the secretary of the Jiangcheng Municipal Committee. He represents the strongest existence in their acre of three-point land. Now that he comes to Beijing, he still wants to invite people to dinner. Du Tianye can make Hong Weiji value it so much, which may not only be because of his old classmates. It seems that his position is quite important.

Du Shankui sighed again: "Now the Party School has become a place for you to connect with social relations."

"The army is still a furnace of your revolutionary sentiment. In fact, the study of the Party School is just like that. There is a saying: Get a basin, learn some words, recognize two people, and raise your spirits. Everyone is with some political purpose. Who will study steadily? The Party gives you the opportunity to contact revolutionary sentiment. Don't you always teach us to listen to the Party."

Du Shankui couldn't tell his son, so he picked up the wine glass and drank: "Damn, your generation is really different from us."

Du Tianye said: "You look down on us. In fact, our revolutionary awareness may not be lower than that of you old people. We are nothing more than understanding more flexibility and adapting to the trend of the development of the times, but we will stick to the principled things to the end."

Zhang Yang agrees with Du Tianye's words quite a bit. He has always had a point of view that as long as the final result is good, it doesn't matter the means used. Therefore, he often has a tolerant attitude towards certain violations of officials. He is also a cadre with many minor problems, but the flaws do not conceal the merits. If you can do these four words, you should be considered a good cadre.

Feng Yumei looked at her son with love. The two men looked a little different on the surface, but in fact they were both very principled people. As Du Tianye said just now, their generation knows how to adapt better than the older generation. Feng Yumei whispered: "You child cannot focus your heart on work all day long, and you should also consider your personal marriage matters."

Zhang Yang did not expect that Du Tianye had not been married yet. He looked at him in surprise, and then he thought that young cadres like Du Tianye, who had a prominent family background and excellent conditions, had no shortage of women's pursuit around him. The reason why he did not get married was that he liked this lonely lifestyle.

Du Tianye smiled, without saying a word, picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all.

Du Shankui did not regard Zhang Yang as an outsider, and even said things at home without any scruples: "I met your Uncle Wen two days ago. He meant that you should not wait. Wen Ling has been sleeping for ten years. You have been waiting for her for a full ten years and have an explanation for your relationship. Do you plan to wait for her like this for the rest of your life?" Wen Ling is Du Tianye's girlfriend. When she was preparing for her wedding with Du Tianye ten years ago, she fell from the roof and has become a vegetable since then. She has been sleeping until now.

Du Tianye slowly put down his wine glass, and his eyes became affectionate and sad: "Dad! Mom! I know you are doing your best, but no one in this world is more important to me than Wen Ling. In the past ten years, I have not reduced my feelings for her at all. Instead, I have become more attached to her. She did not fall asleep, but just integrated life with me. Giving up her is equivalent to giving up part of my own life, I can't do it..." He stood up: "It's time for me to leave!"

Du Shankui and Feng Yumei looked at their son with pity, but they didn't stop them. In fact, before they advised their son, they knew that it was impossible to change his choice, but they couldn't help but say that they didn't want to watch their son spend their whole life in loneliness and waiting.

Zhang Yang also stood up and said goodbye. Du Shankui left the phone number at home to Zhang Yang, allowing him to come to visit often during his stay in Beijing.

Du Tianye was going to the city, and happened to bring Zhang Yang with him. His car was a military-licensed Beijing Jeep. Zhang Yang got into his car and told him the address of the Beijing Office. Du Tianye nodded and took out a cigarette and lit it. It was obvious that his emotions became a little depressed because of his parents' words just now.

Zhang Yang wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to speak. He suddenly remembered Hailan and whispered: "Actually, you may not be the only one who is unfortunate in this world. I have always loved a woman deeply, but I don't know anything about her. Just when she was about to open her heart to me, a sudden disaster almost caused her to die. After waking up, she forgot all the memories about me..."

Du Tianye whispered in a low voice, Zhang Yang's topic aroused his interest. He looked at Zhang Yang and said, "At least she can know what she is doing..."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I tried to walk into her world again, but I didn't expect that she showed strong resistance to me. Every time she saw my eyes..." He paused for a moment, and a painful expression appeared in his eyes: "I was frightened and afraid... as if... as if I was just a nightmare. Her eyes broke my heart. I dare not disturb her, so I could only choose to avoid it from afar."

Zhang Yang's words made Du Tianye feel like he was a man who was a worldly desolate person. He whispered: "Maybe everyone has their own misfortune!" But he thought in his heart that maybe he was the most unfortunate one.

Zhang Yang said: "I always believe that although everyone has their own misfortune, they cannot always be immersed in this misfortune, otherwise our lives will become dull and lose the meaning of existence."

Du Tianye laughed loudly, and Zhang Yang's paging suddenly rang. He looked at it and Qin Qing's message was displayed. It turned out that she had finished her party school affairs and waited outside the school gate for a long time without seeing a car, so she remembered to ask Zhang Yang to pick her up.

Du Tianye knew that Zhang Yang was going to pick him up, so he agreed readily and drove to the Party School.

Qin Qing was wearing a dark blue T-shirt and light-colored jeans standing in front of the Gongdian Pavilion next to the Party School, like a small tree in spring, youthful and energetic. Du Tianye couldn't help but take a look and whispered: "You are the leader?" He had seen many young department-level cadres, but this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful female cadre.

Zhang Yang nodded happily, shook the window and waved to Qin Qing. Qin Qing saw him and showed a faint smile, then slowly walked over. She opened the car door and sat down in the back seat. Zhang Yang introduced Du Tianye to her: "This is Director Du of the Fifth Room of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, this is my immediate boss, Qin Qing, the county magistrate of Chunyang County!"

Du Tianye smiled very gentlemanly, and Qin Qing smiled politely, but he felt a little surprised. Zhang Yang, a small deputy section-level official, could actually climb to the official of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it seemed that they got along well. Putting aside Du Tianye's level, just his position, even the secretary of Pinghai Province would give him some face.

Du Tianye said: "County Magistrate Qin, we can be considered alumni."

Qin Qingran smiled lightly and said, "I just entered the school gate, and Director Du graduated from school."

"I am your senior brother, haha! By the way, Secretary Hong Weiji from Jiangcheng and I were the same period, and Governor Xu from Pinghai are also the same period. In the past, we often drank together when we were in the Party School."

Qin Qing smiled gently and said, "Does Governor Xu also drink?"

"Drink, and the alcohol content is amazing, there is no problem with one and a half pounds of Moutai!"

In Qin Qing's impression, Xu Changde was a person who rarely drank. At most, he would drink a few drinks symbolically when receiving VIPs. I didn't expect that Du Tianye had such a drink. It's not surprising that everyone has his own circle. When Xu Changde was in Jiangcheng, he was the boss of the circle, and perhaps he disdained to drink with others. In the party school, the circle he met no longer had the same sense of respect as the stars holding the moon, so he would treat others with an equal attitude. Drinking alcohol seemed simple on the surface, but the knowledge and mystery contained in it were actually the most subtle and complex.

When the car arrived halfway, Du Tianye received a call. His face suddenly changed. He shouted to the phone: "No one can do without my permission!" His voice almost roared, which scared Zhang Yang and Qin Qing. Then Du Tianye suddenly made a sharp turn and drove towards Qinglongtan Hospital in southeast of Beijing. He had always been calm and calm and completely lost his mind after receiving this call. He even forgot that there were Zhang Yang and Qin Qing in the car.

The jeep was moving at a high speed in the rolling traffic. Du Tianye stared at the road ahead and held the steering wheel with both hands. As the accelerator increased, the meter continued to rise.

Qin Qing frowned. She didn't know what was going on. However, at Du Tianye's level, he shouldn't have had such a bad control over emotions. Zhang Yang vaguely guessed that this incident was probably related to Wen Ling. Although he had been in contact with Du Tianye's family for a short time, the Du family left a very good impression on Zhang Yang, and Du Tianye's own infatuation also touched Zhang Yang.

After the car was parked at Qinglongtan Hospital, Du Tianye didn't even have time to explain to the two, so he rushed towards the recovery ward behind.

Qin Qing didn't want to go at first, but when he saw Zhang Yang following him, he could only follow him and take a look. This was for Zhang Yang's sake. She understood that Zhang Yang was a person who was afraid of the world's chaos, and Du Tianye didn't seem to have a good temper. These two people rushed over and were sure that something would happen.

As it turns out, Qin Qing’s worries were not redundant. In front of the door leading to the ward, two men in black blocked Du Tianye’s way. Du Tianye’s eyes turned red. Now he was like a crazy beast, roaring angrily: “Get out! Whoever stops me will destroy whom I will kill!”

The two men did not mean to get out of the way. They obviously knew Du Tianye. The middle-aged man with a medium figure whispered: "Director Du, please go back. This is the business of the Wen family!"

"Get out!" Du Tianye tried to push him away, but the middle-aged man did not have obvious dodging moves. When Du Tianye's hand was placed on his shoulder, he sank slightly, and then pushed forward inconspicuously. A potential was transmitted to Du Tianye's arm. Du Tianye was unstable and staggered back several steps. Fortunately, Zhang Yang supported him in time.

Du Tianye completely lost his mind and shouted: "No one is allowed to take Wen Ling away, no one has the power..." He suddenly rushed to the fire cabinet beside him, smashed the glass with a punch, grabbed the fire axe from it, and rushed forward with a roar.

Zhang Yang had to admire his toughness, but he could see from the middle-aged man's attack just now that Du Tianye was no match for him at all. The two men in black who were guarding the door were all masters.

Du Tianye swung the fire axe, and the middle-aged man used a very ordinary Tai Chi movement. He clamped his arm and twisted it gently. Du Tianye could no longer hold on to the fire axe. With a clang, he landed on the ground. The middle-aged man pushed it gently, and Du Tianye's body flew backwards. Obviously, the opponent's attack was much heavier this time.

Du Tianye is not powerless, but in front of a real master, his fighting skills are still far from being there.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and put it on Du Tianye's waist, pressed it against his body, and pressed it clockwise to remove the power from him, stopping Du Tianye's momentum from flying backwards, and allowing him to land smoothly on the ground.

Both men in black showed surprise eyes. Zhang Yang could easily resolve Du Tianye's predicament. He seemed ordinary, but he had to master both strength and angle extremely accurately. It was too rare to have such skills at such an age.

Zhang Yang had already walked over, and the middle-aged man who took action towards Du Tianye slowly took a step forward, his eyes becoming extremely solemn. From Zhang Yang's sudden crazy gaze, he had already felt that the young man in front of him wanted to challenge him.

Zhang Yang walked very slowly, and each step seemed to have been accurately measured. He came to the other party three steps and smiled and said, "Please give in!"

The middle-aged man moved his right hand and wanted to grab Zhang Yang's arm. Zhang Yang did not dodge, allowing him to grab his arm, and then pulled him with the flow. The middle-aged man followed his strength and sent forward force, leaned forward, squeezed his shoulders on Zhang Yang's left shoulder, and then exerted force with his waist and hips. He had already made up his mind to make the young man in front of him suffer a little.

Zhang Yang saw through the other party's intention, but this time he did not intend to resolve the other party's strength. Instead, he managed to escape internal strength and was pushed head-on by the other party.

The sudden burst of power of the middle-aged man could push a car away, but his power exploded on Zhang Yang, but it was like pushing it on a mountain. Zhang Yang's legs were rooted on the ground like iron cast, and the powerful power of the middle-aged man did not shake him at all.

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of surprise and surprise. When his power reached its peak, he suddenly felt empty around him. Zhang Yang suddenly withdrew his resistance, grabbed the other person's arm with his backhand, and tried to use his inertia to throw the middle-aged man's body out.

The middle-aged man responded very quickly, his body leaned forward slightly, his arms swayed clockwise, and he broke free from Zhang Yang's palm. Zhang Yang's backhand followed one after another, pushing his arm with one palm on the other's arm. The middle-aged man took two steps back before he stood firm. His heart was filled with blood, and Zhang Yang had already broken through his blockade in the moment he flashed and walked inside.

The man in black standing behind was only 27 or 28 years old. When the middle-aged man was selling, he kept watching coldly. Seeing Zhang Yang successfully forced the middle-aged man to retreat, a cold light burst out from his eyes. He and the middle-aged man were in two different styles. If he didn't take action, he would attack without mercy. His right leg kicked Zhang Yang's face with lightning speed. The air around him was swelled up by his lightning. What he used were twelve ways of Tan Le, one whip on the head, one whip on the second way of cross-ghost drill, three slashing wheels, four slashing and supporting blocks, five lions playing in the water, six slashing and twisting single whip on the six slashing and twisting single whip on the seven phoenix spreading wings, eight phoenixes spreading their wings on the sky, nine slashing and grabbing jade belts, ten magpies climbed to the plum blossoms, eleven wind sways lotus leaf legs, and twelve ways of mandarin ducks cleverly.

For a moment, his feet were covered with shadows all over the sky, Zhang Yang advanced from all directions. Tan's legs were vigorous and coordinated. His moves were changeable, his attack and defense were fast; his rhythm was clear and his explosive power was extremely strong. This was the first time Zhang Yang had encountered so many masters at the same time since he was reborn. The leg skills of this man in black were the best one he had ever seen. Somehow, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered An Yuchen. Compared with the person in front of him, An Xiaoyao's good leg skills can only be regarded as a pediatrician.

The body movement Zhang Yang showed at this time was like a ghost. Under the opponent's lightning-like leg, he could always avoid the attack at the most critical moment. He was about to hit him when he saw this kick, but he could dodge in a slight way.

The middle-aged man stared at Zhang Yang's footwork, and his expression became more and more serious. The twelve legs of Tan had been used, but he didn't even touch Zhang Yang's clothes. Such a body movement could be described as unpredictable. Zhang Yang did not fight back during the entire process, but successfully adjusted the man in black. He took a step back and stood at the gate with a smile: "I will fight back if I hit me again!" He calmed down and his face remained calm, which was enough to prove that his martial arts skills were far superior to this first-class opponent with leg skills.

Qin Qing and Du Tianye were both standing there. Although they could not see the mystery, they could know that Zhang Yang's martial arts had already shocked two men in black.

The middle-aged man took a step forward, and he obviously would not let Zhang Yang in. The young man in black surrounded Zhang Yang from another angle, and they were going to join forces.

Zhang Yang's face also showed a solemn look. These two men in black were first-class strong players. If they joined forces to attack, one was hard and one was soft, one was slow and one was slow, the power would increase exponentially, and Zhang Yang would never be sure to defeat them in a short time. However, Zhang Daguan Ren was a person who never gave in. The more difficult he encountered, the more competitive this guy's heart would become stronger. A fanatical light burst out from his clear eyes, which was a desire for a refreshing battle.

Qin Qing was most familiar with this guy's temperament. However, these two men in black were obviously taking the responsibility of protecting someone. If Zhang Yang continued to conflict with them, he might not end the matter, so she walked over quickly.

Qin Qing walked into the space where they confronted each other, and an invisible pressure suddenly enveloped her heart. Qin Qing's beautiful eyes were calm, like a pure and flawless lily floating into the wind and rain. Zhang Yang and two men in black used powerful murderous aura to weave an invisible big net. Qin Qing walked into the net, and her quiet beauty penetrated into the cold murderous aura like a trickle, instantly diluting the tense atmosphere. Looking at Zhang Yang, it was like looking at a child causing trouble, and shook his head gently.

A calm female voice rang out: "Let them in!"

Qin Qing looked up and saw that he was talking to a middle-aged beauty in her fifties. She was not tall and well maintained. She looked like she was in her forties. Her skin was very white and there were some fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but it was impossible to see without looking closely. Qin Qing's beauty obviously attracted the attention of the middle-aged beauty. She looked at Qin Qing and smiled with a friendly smile.

Qin Qing then felt that her smile was familiar. She had seen it somewhere before. She thought hard, and after a while, she remembered that it should be on TV. Zhang Yang also stared at the middle-aged beautiful woman in a daze. To outsiders, his eyes were a little rude. The middle-aged beautiful woman didn't look at Zhang Yang from beginning to end, and finally frozen on Du Tianye's face: "Amano, are you here?"

Du Tianye nodded, and he strode into it: "Aunt Luo, why do you do this! I want to see Wenling! I want to see her!"

Qin Qing's beautiful eyebrows thumped for a moment, and she and Zhang Yang followed the end and whispered: "Who is Wenling?"

Zhang Yang shrugged: "Director Du's girlfriend seems to have become a vegetable..."

Zhang Yang and Qin Qing did not follow into the rehabilitation ward. They stood outside the glass window and looked at the scene inside. From their position, they could see a woman with long hair lying motionless on the hospital bed, with a tall and broad back sitting towards them. The one who thought was Wen Ling's father.
