A sanatorium in the Second Ring Road is the home of Li Hai's grandparents, and it is also Li Hai's home in the capital. Li Hai and his family did not buy real estate in the capital for two reasons: it is expensive and they do not live there permanently!
A house can cost tens of millions, and Li Zewen and Chen Jiao obviously cannot afford it. In addition, they spend most of their time in the army, so there is really no need to spend such a high price on a house.
The three generations above and below have all been fed by the emperor, and their birth, old age, illness and death are all managed by the state, so there is not a strong demand for houses.
After Li Zewen changed his career, he considered buying a house in the capital. Although the house price at that time was easily over 100,000 yuan, it was enough for the brothers and sisters on both sides to pool their money. As a result, he went to work at the Guntuan Fishing Company before he had a few days to spare. This happened
Just put it aside again.
Later, I simply stopped thinking about it. Home is wherever you are, and you are at home all over the world. Therefore, when Li Hai returned to the capital, he could only go back to his grandparents' place - the rest house.
There is still no "home".
However, families like Li Hai are destined to wander around with the army. Wherever the army is, they are home.
Walking along the road, there are bare trees on both sides, golden leaves covering the road. Occasionally, cars passing by with military license plates will roll up the fallen leaves, spin and float, and then quickly calm down.
The capital of autumn, this place in the Second Ring Road is definitely a paradise on earth.
Turning around a small garden, in the cold wind, there were actually old men in thick military coats gathered together in the pavilion to argue excitedly. From time to time, "joint operations, precise strikes, and the main force pushing forward" were heard.
, terms such as "Your air force goes over first and bombs my armored columns in depth."
The assistant waiting beside me couldn't help but stamp her feet to keep out the cold.
These old military leaders only had this little fun after they retired.
Li Hai quickened his pace, and after about ten minutes he saw the innermost courtyard. It was very quiet here.
Grandpa will not join in the fun of "joint operations". He has worked on the hidden front all his life, and I am afraid he will never be able to change the habits he has developed in this life. The same goes for grandma. Li Hai has never heard them mention the work they are engaged in.
A military-branded vehicle parked in front of the yard. Li Hai took a look and roughly guessed what department it belonged to. At this moment, some bosses were probably talking to his grandparents. He simply stopped in the yard and planned to wait for a while.
In less than ten minutes, two officers strode out. The older one, wearing the rank of major general, turned around and said, "Old chief, you must take care of yourself."
I heard grandpa say, "Don't always run towards me from now on!"
"That's not possible, our work cannot be done without your instructions!"
He turned around and walked down the steps and saw Li Hai. Li Hai also saw them and quickly stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Chief!"
Taking a closer look, the senior colonel standing next to the major general looked familiar.
"Second uncle?" Li Hai was stunned.
"Huh? Xiaohai, you're back." The senior colonel was very surprised. He turned and shouted into the room, "Dad, Mom, Xiaohai is back!"
The major general returned the gift, looked at Li Hai, and said with a smile, "You are Li Hai, well done!"
He patted Li Hai on the shoulder and strode away.
The colonel came over and whispered, "We'll have dinner at my second uncle's house later."
After patting Li Hai on the head, the colonel left quickly.
At this moment, the grandparents came out in a hurry, and immediately smiled when they saw Li Hai.
Grandpa and grandson were happily preparing to enter the house when another car came over. It was a Hongqi H7 with a 2.5V6 that was used to take photos there.
The old man went straight into the house without looking, but grandma couldn't pretend not to see her, so Li Hai could only stay with him and called out to the sixty-year-old man who was striding over, "Third uncle."
"Xiao Hai is back." The third uncle was very surprised.
"Sister-in-law." The third uncle said hello to grandma.
Grandma said, "Why did you come here again? Your elder brother is in the house."
The three of them walked inside, and the third uncle's secretary stopped outside.
The third uncle said as he walked, "If you can't make up your mind about something, please discuss it with your elder brother."
"Hey, he has been retired for many years, why should we discuss it with him?" Grandma said helplessly.
The third uncle smiled and stopped answering. He asked Li Hai, "Xiao Hai, how are you doing in the army? Can you adapt to it?"
"It's fun to fly if you can adapt to it," Li Hai said.
The third uncle said, "I heard that you have made great achievements. Well done. Keep up the good work, but you should also pay attention to safety."
"Well! I will continue to work hard." Li Hai said.
After arriving at the house, Li Hai went back to his room to tidy up, and his third uncle started talking to his grandfather in the living room.
Li Hai has long been accustomed to such scenes, not only because of the special nature of his grandfather's previous job, but also because everyone in the family is either a civil servant or a soldier, and his grandfather is the eldest brother, so he will come to everyone if anything happens.
.
Rather than encountering problems at work, it is better to say that I need the care of my brothers and elders.
Of course, the major general just came here for official business.
After Li Hai packed up, he quickly called Lin Li.
Lin Li had been home for two days now. Li Hai called her to make an appointment before leaving, and she returned to the capital the same day.
"Xiaolang, have you returned home?" Lin Li asked immediately.
Li Hai said, "I just got home. Shall I go find you? Or should you come to my house?"
"I'm not going to your house, come find me!" Lin Li blushed and said.
"I...are your parents at home?" Li Hai hesitated.
Although they have known each other for many years, neither of them has met each other's family. Even after they graduated from high school, their family members did not know that their green love had already begun for three years. The old man was in charge of confidentiality, and Li Hai was in charge of confidentiality.
It is naturally solid.
It wasn't until Lin Li went to work in Bincheng, Ludong, despite her parents' objections, that the good news between Li Hai and Lin Li came to light. Ludong Port City is where the Naval Aviation Academy training base is located.
But that's all they know, they still haven't met each other's parents.
This was also the first time for Li Hai, so he still felt a little embarrassed to go to his partner's house. However, he seemed to be unable to escape.
Lin Li said a little irritably, "It doesn't matter if you're at home or not, you come or not!"
"Come, come, I'm coming now." Li Hai knew that Lin Li was angry and said quickly, "I'm going out now and will definitely be at your house within an hour. Please send me the location."
After hanging up the phone, Li Hai hurried out.
The third uncle had already left, and Li Hai said to his grandparents, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm going out for a while..."
"Are you looking for Lin Li?" The old man interrupted him and asked.
Li Hai blushed, "Yes, but I will go home for dinner tonight. Grandma, tell auntie that I will cook dinner at night, and I will buy groceries when I come back."
"Bring Lin Li back." The old man said.
"Ah?" Li Hai's face froze.
Li Hai was not at home, but it had already spread that he had a partner. The old man had four sons. The eldest son died when he was in his twenties. The second son only had a daughter. The third son was Li Hai's father. The youngest son
My career is going well, but my family is in a mess. I am over 40 years old and have no children.
All the old man's hopes were placed on Li Hai. As soon as he heard that Li Hai had a partner, Li Hai's marriage became the top priority in his heart.
No, knowing that Li Hai was coming back, he was already looking forward to meeting his prospective grandson-in-law.
Li Hai grabbed his head and said, "Grandpa, today may not be the right time. Something should have happened to Lin Li's family. I'll go check it out first. But don't worry, I will definitely bring it back to meet you and your elders before I return to the team."
When grandma heard that something had happened, she quickly said, "Then go and have a look. Remember not to be impulsive when dealing with things."
"I know, grandma, I'll go first."
Li Hai left in a hurry.
The old man frowned and asked grandma, "Old Liu, where does this girl come from?"
"It's on Gebao Street, right next to Hongqi Middle School." Grandma said.
The old man seemed quite satisfied and nodded slightly.
As soon as Li Hai walked to the door of the sanitation center, he saw an S680 coming towards him. It was also a two-tone collector's edition that was extremely sexy. This kind of car would not normally appear in the sanitation center, but this car
But there was no obstruction. The guard scanned the number plate and opened the door.
Li Hai was thinking about Lin Li. Lin Li's tone of voice was very rare. She was a girl who always spoke softly and gently. She was kind to others and didn't know what her temper was. But when they were on the phone just now, Li Hai clearly heard it.
irritable.
When such emotions appear in Lin Li, there is most likely only one reason - something happened, and it is by no means a trivial matter, and it must be related to the family.
While he was lowering his head to think, the S680 suddenly stopped, and a well-dressed middle-aged man with shaggy and well-organized hair got out. He looked like a giant crocodile in the shopping mall.
"Xiao Hai!" The giant crocodile in the shopping mall shouted and strode over.
Li Hai looked up and smiled immediately. The most arrogant fourth uncle in the family always said in such a high-profile manner, "Fourth uncle!"
"Hahaha, when did you come back?" The fourth uncle put his arms around Li Hai and made love, looking him up and down, "Well, the young man is good, he has become a lot stronger. How is it, are you adapting to the life in the military camp?"
Obviously, only the grandparents knew about Li Hai's return home.
Li Hai said, "It's pretty good. Fourth uncle, are you okay?"
"How dare you laugh at me!" The fourth uncle scolded with a straight face, and then sighed, "I got divorced again. I just had a business trip. I got off the plane and rushed here as soon as I got off the plane. I had to coax the old man and the old lady.
good."
Li Hai was extremely embarrassed and shook his head, "Fourth uncle, can't you find someone safer?"
The fourth uncle said matter-of-factly, "The problem is that I can't find her! Do you think it's that easy for a guy like me, who makes over a billion dollars a year, to find a wife?"
"..."
The fourth uncle patted Li Hai on the shoulder and said with emotion, "To put it bluntly, it's all my fault that I didn't listen to the old man and old lady when I was young. If I had been a soldier, I wouldn't have been so miserable even if I couldn't take the civil service exam or something. But.
Is there any way to do it? When the business is on track, many things are out of my control. You can’t make less money even if you want to, because you are forced to do this. Also, everything will never go smoothly. Once your business is started, there will always be problems.
Everything is a mess, God is just tormenting people..."
"Fourth Uncle, I suspect you are showing off." Li Hai said secretly.
But I have to admire that at his age, my fourth uncle was already a boss who took advantage of tens of millions of dollars. As for him, he couldn't even afford the down payment for a house in Qingdao.
"By the way, what are you going to do?" asked the fourth uncle.
Li Hai said, "I, I will go out."
The fourth uncle said, "I'll ask the driver to take you off, but you have to accompany the fourth uncle to see the old man and the old lady first. As long as you are here, they will most likely not say anything, so I'll just get over it."
"Fourth uncle, who are you now? Are you fifth?" Li Hai couldn't help but say.
The fourth uncle was not embarrassed, "This is the seventh one..."
Li Hai almost choked to death on his own saliva. It took him a long time to regain his composure and said, "I would say, don't be in a hurry to get married next time. After getting along for a while, you feel that it is reliable before you testify. In this way,
My grandparents won’t be angry."
"Yes, I tell myself this every time, but I feel that every one of them is reliable... But after I pulled the evidence, I found out that I came here to make money..." The fourth uncle, who is in his forties, said
Like a love fool, he said with a grimace.
"I……"
Li Hai was speechless and said, "Something may have happened to my partner's house. I have to go over and have a look. You can go back by yourself. Fourth uncle, I'm leaving."
"I'll ask the driver to take you off!" Fourth Uncle said to Li Hai's back.
"I'll take the subway."
Li Hai left without looking back.
The fourth uncle murmured to himself as he walked into the car, "Does what happens at the target's house matter to me? This brat...huh? The target? Hey! This guy has a target!"
After coming to his senses, Fourth Uncle's mood suddenly improved, but when he raised his head and looked ahead, his mood suddenly dropped and he became sad again.
Li Hai was so anxious that he found out after getting on the subway that his hands were empty. It was definitely not possible to go door-to-door like this. After getting off the bus station, he saw a shopping mall across the street, so he rushed in. When he came out ten minutes later, his hands were full.
Got something.
Lin Li paced back and forth at the school gate, looking forward to it.
Seeing a figure running towards him from a distance, Lin Li took three steps at a time and then two steps to meet him.
"Little Wolf!" Lin Li rushed forward and hugged Li Hai.
Li Hai blushed and looked around subconsciously. The passers-by were not surprised and didn't even take a second look.
"What's wrong with you, being so unrestrained?" Li Hai chuckled.
Lin Li rolled her eyes at him. If it were any other girl, she would have said, "Where did you go? You haven't called me for so long. Is the army so busy?" But Lin Li didn't. Instead, she asked, "You have breakfast?"
No?"
She cares about Li Hai, always understands Li Hai's work, and never makes trouble without reason. She can give the greatest understanding to such a big thing as Li Hai going to Feisha Base without saying hello. This girl has a simple mind,
On Lehi.
"I've eaten. I don't know what to buy. Do you think these are suitable?" Li Hai picked up several large bags of gifts in his hand.
Lin Li looked at it carefully and found that it was very expensive. She said angrily, "Did you buy it as soon as you heard someone said it would be a good idea for your mother-in-law to buy this?"
Li Hai blushed and chuckled.
"Silly." Lin Li felt sweet in her heart.
A little farewell is better than a wedding. After a little tenderness, Lin Li said with an angry look, "My aunt wants to introduce me to a partner. It's very annoying. They are at my house."
Li Hai understood immediately and was so upset about this matter!
