Chapter 219: Recognition of Relatives
After Zhao Tiezhu and Fan Jian left school, they went to Tie Shou's place to sit and have dinner together. It was already evening. Zhao Tiezhu drove into the FJ Military Region Chief's Yard. Since the pass was already posted on the front of the car, , this time the guard at the door did not stop him.
Entering Chen Weiguo's small building directly, Lei Zi was waiting downstairs. When he saw Zhao Tiezhu coming, he said hello to Zhao Tiezhu, and the two went up to the second floor together.
After opening the door and going in, Zhao Tiezhu was surprised to find Chen Weiguo sitting on the sofa, and an old man sitting on his desk.
This is an old man who has an unrivaled aura of superiority. Next to the old man, there is also an old man with gray hair. The old man only raised his eyes when Zhao Tiezhu came in, and then lowered his head.
Just that glance, Zhao Tiezhu was like a lightning strike! This is a master, a master even more powerful than Xie Mei! The momentum in his eyes seemed to be able to overturn everything in the world in an instant. Even Chen Weiguo's old man with a stooped back straightened his back and looked at the old man respectfully.
"Tiezhu." The old man sitting in Chen Weiguo's original position spoke slowly, with a gentle voice.
Zhao Tiezhu was stunned. This man gave him a very strange feeling. Zhao Tiezhu nodded slightly, "You always..."
"I am your second grandfather." The man looked directly at Zhao Tiezhu, with a kind of loving light in his eyes.
"Second grandpa?" Zhao Tiezhu was stunned. He already had a grandpa, why did another second grandpa pop up?
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense! I don't have a second grandpa, I'm just a grandpa!" Zhao Tiezhu said.
"I am the younger brother of your grandfather Zhao Laishun. Come and show me to the second grandfather." The old man waved to Zhao Tiezhu. Only then did Zhao Tiezhu remember why he had a strange feeling about the old man. He dared to love this man and the grandfather in his impression. They look very similar! Although his grandfather died when he was very young, he loved Zhao Tiezhu very much when he was a child, so Zhao Tiezhu still remembers his grandfather's appearance to this day.
Zhao Tiezhu walked slowly to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao reached out and took Zhao Tiezhu's hand. Mr. Zhao's hand was boneless and very soft. This was the hand that could serve as an official in folklore.
"Old man, you said you are my grandfather's younger brother. What evidence do you have?" Zhao Tiezhu asked with a frown.
"Your grandfather left my Zhao family in anger back then. More than thirty years have passed, and I finally see the descendants of my Zhao family again." Mr. Zhao's hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
Zhao Tiezhu couldn't react for a while. He had been an orphan for so long, and suddenly someone came out and said he was your second grandfather. Anyone else would be stupid.
Mr. Zhao saw that Zhao Tiezhu had no reaction, so he took out a slightly wrinkled black and white photo from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Tiezhu, "This is the only photo I take with your grandfather, and there is your dad on it."
Zhao Tiezhu took the photo, and after just one glance, he couldn't control himself anymore. There were three people in the photo. One looked at him, vaguely showing the shadow of Mr. Zhao, the other looked like his grandfather in middle age, and the last one looked like him. The child, looking between his brows, isn't it his father, Zhao Ergou?
"Are you really my second grandfather?" Zhao Tiezhu's voice was trembling.
"Yes, it has been so many years. Oh, my child, I have suffered so much for your family." Mr. Zhao was already in tears at this time. Even a man like him, who has been in power for decades, is facing the separation of generations in his Zhao family. With his bloodline, it is still difficult to control his emotions. Mr. Zhao has no descendants in his life, so when he is a hundred years old, the position of the head of the Zhao family can only be passed on to his brothers and sisters, but Mr. Zhao only has one brother, Zhao Laishun, also known as Zhao Tiezhu His grandfather has passed away. If there is no way to bring Zhao Tiezhu's father back, then according to the Zhao family's clan rules, someone from the collateral lineage must be selected to be the head of the family. At present, the internal fighting within the Zhao family has become more and more fierce. , Fortunately, Mr. Zhao is still there. If Mr. Zhao is gone one day, the Zhao family may face the end of falling apart, so Mr. Zhao urgently needs to protect Zhao Tiezhu now. As for Zhao Tiezhu’s parents, they are hiding abroad. When they come back Son is not far away either.
"It's not bitter, it's just that I'm the only one in my family now..." Zhao Tiezhu said, his voice a little choked.
"Actually, your parents are still alive now." Zhao Laoping calmed down and said.
"What?" Zhao Tiezhu was shocked again. His parents, who had been dead for more than ten years, were still alive? "When you were still young, there was a great turmoil that spread across the country. Your father, Ergou, and your mother, Qingxia, were the core of the great turmoil. Someone was already planning to attack them. Your second grandfather, I will help them. After escaping a disaster, they ran abroad and did not come back for so many years. Alas, several enemies of our Zhao family united to fight against my Zhao family. There were also many different opinions in the family, so they were fighting against each other. After a while, the Zhao family had no choice but to give in. Until now, Ergou has not dared to return to the country. You have to forgive Grandpa," Mr. Zhao said with a look of sadness on his face.
"So my parents are not dead yet?" Zhao Tiezhu had a hint of surprise on his face. Then he heard that his parents were forced to leave the country by others, and a trace of murderous intent flashed across his face, "Who dares to attack my parents!"
"Alas, those people who were the masterminds back then are almost all dead now. Be patient, Tiezhu. Your parents will be back soon. We are the only ones left in the main branch of the Zhao family. The Zhao family will need you in the future."
Zhao Tiezhu talked a lot with Mr. Zhao. As for the turmoil that lasted for more than ten years, Zhao Tiezhu wanted to know very much, but Mr. Zhao didn't want to tell him. He just asked Zhao Tiezhu to wait for his parents to come back and ask. Zhao Tiezhu also knew that the power of the Zhao family was so great that it was all over the country. If the Qing Gang dominated one side, then the Zhao family was really the kind that could split the land into a country. However, the Zhao family was the founding father of the country. A large part of the country was conquered by the Zhao family. Although Mr. Zhao, the main branch of the Zhao family, has retreated to the second line, his prestige is no less than that of the past. The Zhao family branch has also produced many talents. Whether in the business world or the political world, there are people who can shake the ground three times with just a stomp of their feet.
Zhao Tiezhu has always been thinking about his parents. Since they can't return to China, can he go abroad to find them? But Mr. Zhao shook his head, "Your parents are hiding very deeply. Even I can't find any trace of them."
"Weiguo, I brought you up all by myself. You have to take good care of my grandson!" Mr. Zhao glanced at Chen Weiguo and said.
"Mr. Zhao, don't worry. Tiezhu and my Leizi are brothers in life and death. If I don't take good care of them, my grandson will not be satisfied. However, Mr. Zhao, you see, Tiezhu is so old, and he has to add a child to the Zhao family quickly. Should we prepare to find a wife for Tiezhu? My Yingying just graduated this year. You have also met her. Why don't we..." Chen Weiguo was interrupted by Zhao Tiezhu before he finished speaking, "Commander Chen, this... I have a girlfriend~"
