Chapter 312 Joining Songshan Island
Chapter 312 Joining Songshan Island
The waves at Songshan Island Pier gently hit the shore, creating layers of white foam.
Jiang Dehua stood at the dock early in the morning, looking forward to it, his eyes fixed on the distance.
When she finally saw Jiang Defu and An Jie appear on the deck, her eyes were red with excitement, and she waved her arms and shouted loudly: "Brother, sister-in-law! Here they are!"
As soon as the boat docked, Jiang Dehua couldn't wait to greet them, and held An Jie's hand affectionately, with a warm smile on his face, and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, you two haven't been back together for many years!"
Jiang Dehua's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes were full of joy of reunion after a long separation.
An Jie responded with a smile, his eyes revealing some emotion: "Yes! It has been four or five years since your brother went to the military area.
Time flies so fast, it feels like it was just yesterday when I last came back."
Next to Jiang Dehua, a cute little girl stood shyly.
Jiang Dehua quickly pulled him over and said with a smile: "Little guy, call uncle and aunt!"
Xiaoyang blushed and shouted in a clear voice: "Uncle, aunt, Brother Weimin, Sister Yafei!"
An Jie smiled and touched Xiao Yang's head, saying, "Xiao Yang has grown so big now, aunt, where is Si Yang? Why didn't Si Yang come?"
Jiang Dehua's expression dimmed slightly, but he soon smiled again and explained, "He failed to get into four universities and joined the army! Alas, this child is just not very good at studying."
"It's good to be a soldier. It's also good to go to the army to train!"
"Speaking of military service, I would say that you, Yafei, are the best among our family members. You became a deputy battalion-level officer right after graduation! Your rank is even higher than your eldest brother's!"
Yafei laughed heartily, waved her hand and said, "No matter how powerful I am, you are still my aunt. Jiang Weimin is still the director! He is equivalent to a regimental-level cadre, so I still have to call you aunt!"
Jiang Dehua smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits, and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right. Okay, let's go home first, and we'll talk again when we get home!
You must be exhausted after all the traveling. I have prepared everything at home and am waiting for you to come back and have a good reunion!"
As he spoke, Jiang Dehua enthusiastically took the luggage from everyone and led everyone towards home.
The group returned to Ding Jiqun's home from the dock in a lively manner.
"Old Ding, I see you are not enthusiastic at all when you see me!"
Ding Jiqun said angrily, "I'm not enthusiastic at all. What did I tell you yesterday when I called you to bring some wine? And you came here empty-handed?"
Ding Jiqun's face was full of dissatisfaction.
Jiang Defu glared at me and raised his voice: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, Old Ding, but do you still take me, the head of the military region, seriously?
You're rebelling against me, the military commander, for bringing you some wine!"
"Hey, Jiang Defu, you are always right!" Ding Jiqun did not give in at all and took two steps forward.
"You come to my house as a guest and don't bring any gifts! How can you be so embarrassed!"
"How do you know I didn't bring any gifts? Jiang Weimin, hurry up and bring the gifts up!"
Jiang Weimin hurried over, holding a carefully framed calligraphy in his hand, and said respectfully, "Uncle, your gift!"
Ding Jiqun took the letter, looked it up and down, and smiled mockingly: "Hey, Jiang Defu, you are pretending to be a cultured person too! You didn't write it yourself!
If you wrote it, I wouldn't even want it as a toilet paper! "
As Ding Jiqun spoke, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jiang Defu was so angry when he heard this that he blew his beard and glared, and stepped forward and said, "Old Ding, you have serious ideological problems. You really need to be punished. You don't know what's good for you!
This is Fan Zeng's calligraphy. Jiang Weimin was so distressed when I said I was giving it to him as a gift! " Jiang Defu patted Ding Jiqun's shoulder with a smug look on his face.
In reality, that's not what happened.
At first, because Ding Jiqun liked Fan Zeng's works and imitated Fan Zeng's calligraphy, Jiang Weimin selected this authentic painting of Fan Zeng and planned to give it to his uncle Ding Jiqun, thinking it would give him a surprise.
But when Jiang Defu found out, he disagreed. He pouted and said with disgust: "Old Ding is so stupid that he doesn't know how to appreciate these. Giving them to him would be a waste of treasures."
Jiang Weimin tried his best to persuade Jiang Defu for a long time before he reluctantly agreed.
But he still felt unhappy. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. In the end, he got so angry that he even forgot to prepare the wine he had promised to bring.
Without bringing alcohol, this trip to Songshan Island would be more relaxing.
When Ding Jiqun heard "Fan Zeng's calligraphy", his eyes lit up instantly and he said in surprise: "Fan Zeng's calligraphy!"
His eyes were full of disbelief and surprise, as if he had seen a rare treasure. He could not wait to reach out and take the painting, and carefully spread it out on the table.
He stared at the calligraphy and painting, examining it carefully from top to bottom, and kept muttering to himself, "This is really Fan Zeng's calligraphy!
This brushwork, this charm, there is absolutely no mistake!" His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement.
"What do you think, Old Ding? Is my gift too valuable? It really touches your heart!" Jiang Defu said proudly.
Ding Jiqun raised his head, looked at Jiang Defu with a smile, and said, "Come if you want to after all these years of friendship. Even if you don't bring anything, I will warmly welcome you."
His eyes fell on the calligraphy and painting again, his eyes full of love. Then he said: "Well, I'll accept the things. I'll go get two bottles of Moutai, and we'll drink to our heart's content today!"
After saying this, he carefully put away the words, holding them in both hands as if they were the most precious treasure in the world, and put them into the inner room very carefully, as if he was afraid of the slightest mistake.
Then he took out two bottles of Moutai and placed them on the table.
After packing up, An Jie, Jiang Dehua and Jiang Yafei went to the kitchen to cook.
Jiang Defu, Ding Jiqun and Jiang Weimin were chatting leisurely in the living room.
Ding Jiqun picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Jiang Defu and asked, "It was you who arranged for Yafei to return to the island to work, right?"
Jiang Defu nodded slightly and said, "Weiguo and Weidong are too far away. I feel more at ease leaving Yafei by my side!"
Now that I have graduated from Yafei University, it is the right time to return to Songshan Island. This child has always been very impetuous. When he works here in the future, I will need your help to take care of him more!"
He looked at Ding Jiqun sincerely and said, "Don't worry, I watched Yafei grow up.
I will definitely take good care of her like she is my own daughter. I am here on this island and will not let her suffer any harm!"
Jiang Weimin sat aside, and he knew very well the deep meaning behind Jiang Defu's arrangement for Jiang Yafei to return to Songshan Island.
Jiang Defu has worked hard on this island for more than 20 years, and the political resources he has accumulated are intertwined and related to all aspects of the island's development.
These resources are like a treasure. Jiang Defu handing them over to Jiang Yafei has undoubtedly paved a solid road for her future.
Recalling his previous life, Jiang Weimin remembered that Meng Tianzhu relied on the resources on the island inherited from Jiang Defu to have a smooth career and rise to the top.
Meng Tianzhu himself has excellent conditions, outstanding abilities and a down-to-earth personality. In addition, he has the unique advantage of "geographical location" and the trend of younger cadres. With the right time, place and people, he was naturally promoted quickly.
Now that Jiang Yafei has returned to Songshan Island, all these resources will be at her disposal and her future development will be limitless.
"We have been classmates for many years. I feel relieved to have you taking care of me." Jiang Defu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a relaxed expression.
Ding Jiqun leaned back in his chair, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "Old Jiang, I don't think I will have to take care of her. There are many people who want to take care of Yafei.
"Yafei will achieve great success in the future! Isn't it, Lao Jiang?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Defu frowned slightly.
Ding Jiqun sat up straight and looked closer at Jiang Defu: "What do you mean by me? Yafei is dating Wang Haiyang, which is a big boost to Yafei's development!"
When Jiang Defu heard Wang Haiyang's name, his face darkened instantly, and his brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
He snorted, "I'd rather they weren't together. I've looked down on Wang Haiyang, this playboy, since I was a kid!"
In Jiang Defu's memory, Wang Haiyang's behavior since childhood revealed the arrogance of a rich kid, and he always felt that such a child was not worthy of his precious daughter.
Ding Jiqun smiled but said nothing, just shook his head gently. He knew in his heart that the union of Jiang Yafei and Wang Haiyang was far more than a simple love affair.
Back when they were on the island, Wang Haiyang's father was the political commissar and Jiang Defu was the commander. Both of them held great power in both the military and political aspects, and had extensive connections and resources.
Now that Jiang Yafei and Wang Haiyang are together, these military and political resources will inevitably tilt towards Jiang Yafei and provide strong support for her development.
What's more, Jiang Yafei is a college student who graduated from a military academy. She has solid professional knowledge and outstanding abilities. Coupled with this relationship, her future path will only become wider and wider.
"By the way, why didn't Wang Haiyang come?" Ding Jiqun suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion.
"He's still in Beijing. He hasn't come back yet. He said he's going abroad to study!"
"It's good to study abroad! Not everyone can go abroad now! Go out and see the world, and it will be good for your development when you come back! How long will you be away?" Ding Jiqun replied with a bit of envy on his face.
"Three years!
"What about them?" Ding Jiqun couldn't help but worry. Three years is not a short time, and no one knows what will happen.
"Wait for Wang Haiyang to return. If the two of them are still interested, An Jie and I won't stop them. We can't stop them!"
Jiang Defu sighed helplessly, with a look of confusion on his face.
Although he doesn't like Wang Haiyang, he doesn't want to interfere too much in his daughter's love life. After all, the child is grown up and has her own ideas.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, we just need to help keep a close eye on it! Don't try to stop them too much, it will easily lead to enmity!"
Ding Jiqun advised earnestly.
In his opinion, the combination of Jiang Yafei and Wang Haiyang is a win-win situation from the perspective of interests, so he is optimistic about these two people from the bottom of his heart.
So I hope Jiang Defu can be more open-minded and not let his personal prejudice affect the children's future.
