With Zhao Changfeng's support, the old man staggered towards the provincial government. The provincial government was nearly 200 meters away. Without Zhao Changfeng's support, the old man really didn't know how long he would have to walk. Even so, the old man still took three rests on the road before walking less than 200 meters.

While resting on the roadside, the old man told Zhao Changfeng about the reason why he went to the provincial government. It turned out that the old man was looking for the new vice governor Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang was directly promoted from the deputy mayor of Zhongzhou City to the vice governor of Zhongyuan Province. It was not only unique in the history of Zhongyuan Province, but also very rare even if it was placed nationwide. However, this incredible thing that was considered to be Zhao Qiang seemed so natural.

Zhao Qiang's father was a founding veteran of the Republic. He was defeated in the early days and was detained in the Central Plains Province. He finally died unjustly in the Central Plains Province. In the early 1980s, under the personal inquiries of Mr. Deng, Zhao Qiang's father was rehabilitated.

After his father was rehabilitated, Zhao Qiang took the initiative to go to Zhongyuan Province to work where his father finally lived, and finally became an ordinary agency staff member of the Zhongzhou Municipal Government as he wished. After that, Zhao Qiang was promoted all the way. In just ten years, he was promoted from an ordinary agency staff to the deputy mayor of Zhongzhou City, and eventually became the deputy governor of Zhongyuan Province.

Such a rapid path to promotion will definitely cause all kinds of criticism on others. However, for Zhao Qiang's rocket-like promotion speed, both the officials and the people of Zhongyuan Province have rarely maintained a kind of generosity, and no rumors have been heard. Perhaps, this is some kind of compensation from Zhongyuan Province to the founding elder who died in Zhongyuan Province.

The old man said that his name was Zhang Changsuo, who was the guard of Zhao Qiang's father. During the * period, because he refused to expose Zhao Qiang's father, he was beaten and disabled as a counter-revolutionary, and he still had two steel plates in his legs. Later, the government did not give him an explanation, but just brought him into the Central Plains Provincial Retirement Home to raise him.

Originally, the old man Zhang Changsuo had no complaints about such an arrangement. He had food and drink, and someone was washing clothes, so what else was he trying to do? But when Zhang Changsuo met a female nurse in his fifties, things changed.

The female nurse was very careful and considerate in taking care of Zhang Changsuo, which made Zhang Changsuo, who had been bachelor all his life, feel fluctuated in his heart. When he knew that the female nurse's husband had passed away long ago, he began to pursue the female nurse.

Zhang Changsuo is a good person and a solid mind. After more than a year of pursuit, the female nurse finally agreed to Zhang Changsuo's pursuit, but there is a prerequisite that she needs to go home to do her children's work.

Unexpectedly, my children disagree. They are all in their fifties, so why are they still getting married? They don’t think they are so ugly? Besides, even if they look for stepfathers, they still have to find a decent one. What’s the point of finding a disabled soldier who has nothing to do now?

That's not all. They often go to the Invalides to insult Zhang Changsuo, saying that he is an old hooligan, seduces their mother, and even wants to hit Zhang Changsuo.

When the female nurse came forward to stop her, they even called her mother unsatisfied and slapped her twice in the face.

Zhang Changsuo quit now. He could tolerate insults and beatings of the female nurses. He got up and fought against these unworthy beasts. But how could a disabled old man in his seventies be the opponent of a few young and middle-aged man who was like a wolf or a tiger? The result can be imagined.

The leaders of the Invalides rushed over and stopped a few beaters and scolded them lightly. In their opinion, this was a family matter and they were not easy to interfere, and the cause of the matter was because Zhang Changsuo seduced other people's mother first.

After beating Zhang Changsuo, the female nurse was dragged away by her children and locked up at home, not allowed to go to work in the Invalides House again. Zhang Changsuo could tolerate insults and beaten, but could not tolerate seeing his lover. He was lonely all his life and finally found a caring person. Could it be that way? Didn’t New China have long stipulated freedom of love and freedom of marriage? How can a few children interfere with the marriage of their elders now?

Zhang Changsuo's stubbornness came up, and he went to the leader of the Invalides first. The Invalides just smiled and said that they were helpless in this kind of thing. So Zhang Changsuo ran out to find the Public Security Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau, but no department cared about his affairs. Just when Zhang Changsuo was desperate and almost desperate, he saw a newspaper. The newspaper published the resume of the new vice governor Zhao Qiang.

Let’s go! Go to Zhongzhou and go to Zhao Qiang! But the old man only had enough money to buy a ticket from Xinxiang to Zhongzhou City. After getting off the bus, he had no money, so he was embarrassed to have no money to buy tickets on the bus.

Zhao Changfeng believed most of the words of Zhang Changsuo, but he was half-believing and half-doubted about what he said about being Zhao Qiang's father's guard. But whether he believed it or not, Zhao Changfeng decided to help the old man to the provincial government. There was a trace of grandpa's shadow on the old man, and Zhao Changfeng decided to help the whole thing.

The provincial government compound is located on the north of Weier Road. It is a former Soviet-style building. It was built in the early 1950s when Zhongzhou City just replaced Kaifeng as the capital of the Central Plains Province.

There are tall sycamore trees planted on both sides of the courtyard gate, covering the sky and the sun. From the courtyard gate to Wei Er Road is a wide and neat asphalt pavement, which is thirty meters long. In the middle of this section of road is a yellow cordon parallel to Wei Er Road, which divides the inside and the outside into two different worlds.

On the left side of the gate of the courtyard was a sentry. An armed police soldier stood upright with a spear on his back, staring at the surroundings with his eyes alert.

Opposite this armed police soldier, there is a gatekeeper. There is also an armed police soldier sitting in the gatekeeper, with a registration form placed in front of him.

Zhao Changfeng supported Zhang Changsuo and just passed the cordon, the armed police soldier shouted: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Changfeng quickly laughed with him: "Look for someone."

“Come here to register!”

He helped Zhang Changsuo to the doorman, and Zhao Changfeng said to the old man: "Uncle, you can register here."

"Oh, register, I know." Zhang Changsuo nodded repeatedly.

"Disclaimer!" The armed police soldier looked at Zhao Changfeng and Zhang Changsuo with suspicious eyes. Zhao Changfeng had a strong student smell. Although he was not expensive clothes, he was clean and neat and looked very energetic. Zhang Changsuo had messy white hair, wrinkled face, black and dirty, and his worn-out old military uniform was covered with oil. He exuded a strong sour smell all over his body, which looked similar to a beggar.

A college student came to the provincial government to find someone with an old beggar, which is of course very suspicious.

Zhang Changsuo trembled and took out the certificate of insurrection and handed it to the armed police soldier.

The armed police soldier looked back and forth, repeatedly compared the photos on the ID and Zhang Changsuo's appearance. He opened the Vanguard's certificate next to the registration book about five or six minutes later. Then he picked up a pen and said to Zhang Changsuo: "What are you doing?"

"Come to find Zhao Qiang." Zhang Changsuo said loudly.

"Zhao Qiang?" The armed police soldier was stunned for a moment, "Which Zhao Qiang?"

Zhao Changfeng quickly added: "Comrade, the uncle is here to find Vice Governor Zhao."

"Vice Governor Zhao Qiang?" The armed police soldier's thick eyebrows frowned, his eyes full of vigilance, "What are you looking for Vice Governor Zhao?"

Zhang Changsuo grinned with a mouth with only one front teeth and said, "I am his father's guard, come to him to do something."

The armed police soldier put down his pen and said seriously: "I'm sorry, you can't go to see Vice Governor Zhao."

"Why can't you meet?" Zhang Changsuo shouted, "I am his father's guard. What's wrong with seeing him?"

The armed police soldier didn't take this trick and just said coldly: "Please leave!"

Zhao Changfeng felt that it was not easy for the old man to come here for a long time. It was too unreasonable to leave without seeing the figure, so he hurriedly discussed with the armed police soldiers: "Comrade, can you help call Vice Governor Zhao?"

The armed police soldier stared at Zhao Changfeng sternly: "What are you doing? What is your relationship with this person?"

"I am a student from North China University of Finance and Economics! I met this old man on the road and saw that it was not easy for him, so I sent him over!" Zhao Changfeng's anger suddenly came up. What's wrong? Do you think of me as a criminal?

"Take out your ID!" The armed police soldier shouted sternly, "I want to register. You are now responsible for taking this person away. He will come to the provincial government again in the future, and I will notify your school!"

"No! Why should I drive me away?"

Before Zhao Changfeng could speak, the old man Zhang Changsuo suddenly broke out.

"When I was fighting with Chairman Mao, you little soldiers hadn't been born yet!" Old man Zhang Changsuo shouted excitedly: "I'm going to see Zhao Qiang today! I'm going to see who dares to stop me!"

As he said that, the old man was about to stagger and break in.

The armed police soldier standing on the post ran over and reached out to grab the old man: "Stop! You can't go in!"

Zhao Changfeng did not expect that Zhang Changsuo had such a bad temper and was about to make a big deal. It was so bad now that Zhao Changfeng thought to himself that it would be easy if Zhang Changsuo really knew Zhao Qiang. If he didn't know Zhao Qiang, he might not be able to get out of the relationship today. He also hurriedly stepped forward to pull Zhang Changsuo and advised, "Master, don't be excited, okay?"

At this moment, a black Audi drove over from outside and stopped when he saw this scene. The window glass behind slowly descended, and a tough face revealed.

"What's going on?"

"Deputy Governor Zhao." The armed police soldier quickly let go of the old man and stepped forward to salute: "Report to the chief, there are two people here who insist on seeing you..."

Before the armed police soldier could finish his words, the old man Zhang Changsuo had already rushed forward: "Five sons!"

The armed police soldier quickly turned around to block the old man: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Changfeng was worried that the old man would suffer losses, so he hurriedly stepped forward to protect the old man.

"Five-My son?" Zhao Qiang's eyebrows moved rapidly. He pushed open the car door, walked out, and said to the armed police soldier: "Get out of the way and let the old man come over."

Zhang Changsuo came to Zhao Qiang tremblingly, grabbed Zhao Qiang's hand and said, "Five Brothers, I am Changsuo. Zhang Changsuo, do you remember? When I was a child, I took you to dig a bird's nest."

Zhao Qiang looked at the old man carefully and suddenly said in surprise: "Changsuo, you are Uncle Changsuo!" He grabbed Zhang Changsuo's arm tightly: "Uncle Changsuo, where have you been there for so many years? Why don't you contact us?"

Zhang Changsuo trembled for a long time and wanted to speak, but finally squatted down and cried loudly. His voice was heart-wrenching, as if he felt endless grievances.

Zhao Qiang's eyes were wet, and he bent down to help the old man up: "Uncle Changsuo, don't cry. Come on, leave with Wu Yazi. If you have any grievances, tell Wu Yazi, and Wu Yazi will make the decision for his uncle."

The old man stood up wiped his tears, and Zhao Qiang helped him into the car.

Zhao Changfeng stood aside and let out a long sigh. Finally, his merit was fulfilled and he was about to leave.

"Come on, comrade, come up too!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiang turned around and said to him.

Zhao Changfeng was stunned for a moment, knowing that Zhao Qiang misunderstood that he and Zhang Changsuo were together. He felt joy in his heart. Even a fool knew how wonderful this misunderstanding was. This was an opportunity, and he could not miss it.

Zhao Changfeng got into the car.
