Chapter 382 Old Leader
After settling Meng Qing's family, Ning Yuan drove back to the No. 2 courtyard in Shen District.
It was already late at night and there were not many people on the road.
Ning Yuan parked the car directly in front of the yard gate.
After returning home, he pushed the door open and saw that his parents and little Ningwei were eating and waiting for him at the dining table.
"Why are you back so late, Dayuan?"
When Zhong Yan saw Ning Yuan come in, she quickly stood up, served him a bowl of soup, and said in a somewhat complaining tone.
"Mom, please stop working. I just ate at Meng Qing's house. You guys should hurry up and eat!"
After changing his shoes, Ning Yuan sat at the dining table with his mother.
"How's it going, son? What did Qingqing's parents say when you went to her house?"
Zhong Yan asked anxiously. After all, she was a mother, and this concerned her son's lifelong affairs. How could she not be anxious?
"It's great, Mom. Meng Qing's family has been very nice to me. They've even agreed to have dinner with you and my dad tomorrow!"
Ning Yuan looked at his mother's anxious expression and didn't even have time to drink the chicken soup that was just brought to his mouth. He could only quickly report the situation to his mother.
"That's good, that's good. It's true. My son is so outstanding, how could anyone look down on him?"
Zhong Yan actually knew that given Meng Qing's family background, it was almost impossible for them to be dissatisfied with Ning Yuan.
But, no matter who it is, they would be nervous for a moment.
Including Ning Yuan's father, Ning Wanli. Although he still had a calm expression at the dinner table, he was really listening attentively when Ning Yuan was talking to his mother just now.
At this moment, Zhong Yan felt the same as her, and both felt much more relaxed.
Ning Yuan just remembered about tomorrow's dinner. After drinking two big mouthfuls of chicken soup, he said to Ning Wanli and Zhong Yan.
"Dad, Mom, let's invite Meng Qing's parents to dinner tomorrow. Why don't we go directly to Xinqiao or Lao Mo? This will save a lot of trouble and will also show enough how much we value their family!"
Ning Wanli and Zhong Yan looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
What Ning Yuan said actually made sense, but the biggest problem was that the couple didn't have much money.
Naturally, she couldn't say such words to her two sons, so Zhong Yan shook her head and said to Ning Yuan.
"No, it's not a big deal! Mom will cook some delicious dishes tomorrow and we can just bring them over to Meng Qing's house. Going to Xinqiao Lao Mo's is too extravagant and wasteful!"
Ning Yuan saw the expressions of his parents and understood what they were worried about, so he didn't say much.
After putting down the dishes in his hands, he took out two stacks of Great Unity banknotes from his trouser pocket.
A full two thousand yuan was handed to Ning Wanli and Zhong Yan.
When Zhong Yan saw the two thick stacks of money, she was a little shocked for a moment. After picking them up and looking at them carefully, she looked at her eldest son with an incredulous look.
"Dayuan, where did you get so much money? I gave Mom two hundred this afternoon, and I haven't had time to ask you yet. How come you just casually took out two thousand?"
After seeing the two stacks of money, Ning Wanli put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, looked at Ning Yuan, waiting for his reply.
"Mom, just take it. My brother is very rich. Last year when you were still in the quarantine center, he was already able to take us to eat at Lao Mo's every few days!"
Ning Wei saw that his parents were hesitant about the money, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Mom, this is all money I earned honestly, so don't worry. Just use it for yourselves. Your allowances haven't been paid yet, so use this money first!"
Just as Zhong Yan was about to continue asking questions, Ning Wanli stopped her.
"Okay, let's stop worrying about it. Our son has grown up, and it's a good thing that he has some abilities!"
Indeed, in Ning Wanli's eyes, it was no big deal for Ning Yuan to make some money.
Their family is really short of money now, so it doesn't matter where the money comes from, as long as it's not stolen or robbed, there is no problem.
Besides, when it comes to earning a fortune, Ning Yuan is just starting out!
When we were fighting the Japanese before, Yan Laoxi suddenly turned against our army's First Death Column.
The 386th Brigade provided support almost immediately, and in the following year and a half, the 386th Brigade's troops expanded nearly fivefold.
The Taiyue Military Region was established directly from the original 129th Division.
Just talking about earning a fortune, this is fucking getting rich overnight.
Ning Wanli was also transferred from the guard battalion to the army, and was promoted from the battalion level to the deputy army level.
So, since they have made a lot of money, they will naturally not be scared by this small amount of money.
It was because Zhong Yan was too worried about her son that she asked anxiously.
"That's too much. I'm afraid of him~"
"Okay, stop worrying about this. If you have the time, why don't you think about where to treat people to dinner tomorrow?"
Ning Wanli interrupted Zhong Yan again and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go to Xinqiao. I haven't eaten there in a long time. I wonder if the taste has changed!"
Zhong Yan gave Ning Wanli a blank look and made a decision.
After finishing their meal, Zhong Yan cleared the dishes on the table and washed them, and Ning Yuan also arranged for little Ning Wei to wash the dishes together.
Only Ning Wanli and Ning Yuan, father and son, were left in the living room.
"Dad, did you ask about your old falsification this afternoon?"
Ning Yuan picked up a slice of freshly cut watermelon, took a bite, then looked at his father and asked.
Ning Wanli actually really wanted to smoke one or two cigarettes. He had just finished his meal and was craving for one!
But all the cigarettes in the house were taken away by Ning Yuan's mother, and Ning Wanli was not allowed to smoke, after all, his body had not recovered yet.
So after searching the coffee table for a long time without any results, I could only pick up a slice of watermelon and start eating it.
After listening to Ning Yuan's words, he nodded and spoke slowly.
"I called a few old comrades this afternoon and asked around. I roughly know where the old leader is living now. I'll finish your business tomorrow and go see him the day after tomorrow!"
When Ning Yuan heard this, he was delighted, then put down the watermelon in his hand and asked.
"Dad, can you take me with you? I want to see him too!"
Deng Zhengwei was born in 1904 and is 65 years old this year. To be honest, it is reasonable to call him an old man.
But Ning Wanli still felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly heard Ning Yuan call him "old man".
After all, in his impression, the old falsifier still looked decisive and capable.
To be honest, as the then commander of the guard battalion, he was more afraid of this person's falsification than the old lion commander at that time.
It is not an exaggeration at all. From 1930 when he led the Longzhou Uprising until 49, Lao Zhengfei had a twenty-year military career, and he had almost always been fighting on the front line.
Ning Wanli remembered how strong his murderous intention was. He remembered that when he entered Dabie Mountains, he once dealt with a group of evil bandits.
Even the head teacher showed up, but still, under the strong demands of the old falsifier, he died completely.
(Many people have probably heard of it!)
