Chapter 22 Back to the county seat

Driving out of the provincial capital and onto the expressway. At the expressway toll station, he watched the car in front of him pass by, but the railing never came down. Under the surprised gaze of the pretty young female toll collector, Xu Ziling discovered

Your car is a military vehicle, so you don't need to pay highway tolls.

Xu Ziling, who understood, drove the car onto the highway in a somewhat embarrassed manner under the gaze of the toll collector. He was able to enjoy the privilege again.

I quickly got off the highway and entered the county town, and came to my own community. As soon as I entered the door of the community, I heard the sound of the horn behind me. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw a brand new Audi SUV. The mirror was a little blurry and I couldn't see clearly.

Who was driving? Xu Ziling entered the community and drove the car aside, slowing down the speed. The car behind him accelerated a little, and he was parallel to Xu Ziling.

"Dad, when did you buy a new car?" It turned out to be Xu Haoran.

Xu Haoran over there did not answer Xu Ziling's words, but pointed to the parking lot in front, indicating that he would stop and talk.

The two people parked the car. Xu Ziling got out and looked at the brand new black Q5, "When did you buy the car? The license plate hasn't been hung yet. I didn't hear you talk about buying a new car when I called."

"It's only been a few days since I bought it, so don't talk about me first. Tell me about you first. If the person at the security booth hadn't told me it was your car when I first came in, I wouldn't have dared to say hello. Why did it change to a military license plate?" Finger

Pointing to Xu Ziling's military uniform, he said, "There's also the matter of your clothes."

"I can't explain this clearly at once. I'll talk about it when we go upstairs. Even if I explain it clearly to you, I have to tell my mother again later. You tell me how tired I am." Regardless of Xu Haoran's reaction, Xu Ziling said after

He took out the things on the seat and opened the trunk, "Dad, help me move some things first."

Xu Haoran was a little helpless. He walked over and saw almost a box of things in the trunk, "Where did you go to rob or something?"

While moving things outside, Xu Ziling explained: "This is a gift from Yang Kaiming and his family, and it is also a gift from Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng to you and my mother. I don't even know what they are. Let's take them up first and then talk about it."

Zhang Lan, who opened the door when he heard the doorbell, was a little surprised when he looked at the two father and son carrying boxes in their hands and several bags hanging on their arms. "I said, it's rare for you two to come home.

What about moving?”

"Mom, please stop being poor and let us go in first. You can't let me and dad just stand here and talk to you." Xu Ziling said as his head stretched out from the box in his arms.

As soon as the two people put all the things in the living room, Zhang Lan couldn't wait, "Tell me quickly, what's going on with your big and small boxes, and what's going on with the clothes you're wearing?"

Xu Haoran took two bottles of water from the refrigerator, threw one to Xu Ziling, opened it and took a sip, "This has nothing to do with me. It was all brought back by your precious son. I was also wondering."

Xu Ziling drank half a bottle of water in one breath, wiped his mouth, and opened the boxes one by one, "This box is for wine. Look, it's specially for Maotai. This box is for cigarettes. Well, it's for cigarettes. There's also Cordyceps sinensis.

, bird's nest and other supplements. There is also a set of cosmetics, cigarettes and wine, half of which is given to grandpa, and usually to dad. The supplements are all grandpa's and grandpa's, and the cosmetics are mom's."

Zhang Lan looked at the cosmetics stuffed in her hands, then looked at Xu Ziling who was mumbling in confusion, "Tell me, you bought this." She asked Xu Ziling.

Only then did Xu Ziling remember that he had never told Zhang Lan the origin of these things, so he explained it. After explaining to Zhang Lan, he remembered what Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng had bought, and found two bags among the pile of things.

, opened it, and found a pair of men's and women's watches inside. Xu Ziling looked at it and saw that it belonged to Dituo. It turned out that he knew that Dituo's diving watches were quite famous, but he didn't know that its business watches were also quite exquisite and elegant.

The two watches were handed to Xu Haoran and Zhang Lan respectively, "This is given to you by Li Cheng and Yang Kaiming. They don't have time to come, so they asked me to say hello to you two for them."

I picked up another larger bag. I didn’t know what the bulging bag was. When I opened it, I saw that it was two sets of clothes, one for men and one for women, both from Givenchy. She handed the clothes to Zhang Lan, "

These two sets of clothes were also given to me by them."

Zhang Lan hesitated, "These things are not cheap, do you think they are suitable for storage?"

Xu Haoran was straightforward, "We are not officials, so there is nothing inappropriate about keeping them. Children always have the friendship of children. Do you think Yang Kaiming and his family would care about such a thing? Then there are Lao Li and I who are so

After many years of friendship, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for his son to give me something, and I’ll just treat him well next time he comes over.”

Zhang Lan was relieved. Xu Ziling ignored them and moved everything into the study one by one and put it away. He walked out of the room and said to his mother Zhang Lan: "It's getting dark. Let's eat first and talk about other things later."

Only then did Zhang Lan remember the meal being prepared in the kitchen. She handed the things in her hand to Xu Haoran and hurried into the kitchen.

There were three people in the family, and there was no need to prepare any special dishes. Zhang Lan quickly made three dishes and one soup. The couple were eager to ask Xu Ziling what happened during this time, and Xu Ziling had to cook hastily under the urging of his parents.

I finished my dinner with a bowl of rice.

He took a sip of tea to smoothen the food that had not been completely swallowed. Looking at the eyes of his mother and father sitting on both sides of him, looking at him as if they were waiting for him to explain, Xu Ziling did not dare to make any excuses and talk to them.

I talked about what happened for more than a month in detail. Of course, I didn’t talk about how I changed my gun in the special operations division. I just said that I visited and studied in the special operations division every day. Later, the army took a fancy to my physical fitness and was recruited by the special operations division.

Recruit in.

Zhang Lan took out the admission notice from the bag that had not had time to put it upstairs and put it on the coffee table. As a teacher, Zhang Lan certainly knew the value of 745 points in the college entrance examination. She picked up the admission notice from the coffee table, her hands filled with excitement.

, were all trembling slightly. Looking at the two excited people, Xu Ziling didn't want to disturb them, so he picked up his backpack and went upstairs gently.

After entering my room, the room was still neat and tidy, without a trace of dust. I think this is all thanks to my mother. I took out the clothes in the bag that had not seen the sun for a long time and hung them up. I put the bag away. I came to the balcony and pulled it out.

I opened the curtains, sat on a chair, looked at the city at night, and thought about some random things.

In his wild thoughts, he heard two gentle knocks on the door. Xu Ziling looked back and saw that his father, Xu Haoran, had come in. Xu Haoran pulled a chair from the room, picked up the ashtray from the table, and went to the balcony.

, sat next to Xu Ziling. Xu Ziling took the ashtray from Xu Haoran's hand, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Xu Haoran lit a cigarette and threw one to Xu Ziling, "Nothing, just chatting with you."

Xu Ziling placed the ashtray on the balcony guardrail and lit the cigarette in his hand. The two of them looked at the night sky quietly before Xu Haoran said: "During this period, have you been playing with guns?"

Xu Ziling learned about his father Xu Haoran's past glory from Yang Kaiming's mouth, so he never thought about hiding it from Xu Haoran, and certainly didn't think about hiding it from him. He smiled and said: "Dad, you noticed it as soon as I walked in, look.

You glanced at my hand several times."

After hearing Xu Ziling's words, Xu Haoran also smiled relaxedly, "So you have discovered it too. It seems that you are sitting here waiting for me to ask you? Haha... don't tell your mother these things, don't let them

She was worried. You liked to play this when you were a child. At that time, I was sure that your kid would follow my old path. Now I can only tell you what I expected."

"I can't compare with you, I'm afraid I don't have the same passion as you did when you were young."

Xu Haoran was a little surprised, "It seems that you found out about my past things from somewhere. In fact, those things are all in the past. I never thought of telling you, and I didn't tell you about your mother either."

"Yang Kaiming told me all this. If he hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known that you were so passionate when you were young." After a pause, he added: "His father, Yang Haisheng, knows you and grandpa, probably just chatting.

I told Yang Kaiming about this when I was a kid, so it spread from Yang Kaiming’s mouth to my ears.”

Next, Xu Ziling told Xu Haoran what he had done in the provincial capital this month, and finally took out his military officer's ID card from his pocket and gave it to Xu Haoran. Xu Haoran took the officer's ID card, opened it, looked at it, and shook his head with a wry smile, "

I'm not as good as you, I was only a second lieutenant when I retired from the army. You keep it and show it to your grandpa when the time comes, so that he will be happy."

"I just discussed it with your mother. Your mother wants to invite some people to a dinner tomorrow to celebrate your admission to college. Other people will treat them to dinner no matter what school they are admitted to. What's more, you are still the number one scholar in the country.

So your mother also said that she has to prepare a few tables so that you don’t run around tomorrow. I guess your mother will be there to inform everyone now."

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Well, I understand, my son has been missing for more than a month, and now I have to satisfy my mother's little vanity."

After hearing what Xu Ziling said, Xu Haoran was stunned and then smiled, "You can't say that to your mother, she is just happy."

"Well, I'm happy, haha..."
