Chen Bei was discharged from the army and was on his way home.
He took a train back to his hometown in Jiangdong.
The train was driving in the vast wilderness of Northeast China.
The little boy sitting next to him suddenly put his head out, pointed at the horizon and shouted: "Planes smoke."
There was a small silver dot in the sky, with a long white tail smoke pulling out from behind.
It was a sight unique to jet fighters.
Chen Bei knew that it was a MiG-15 training.
How much he wanted to fly a jet, but never again.
There is no such opportunity anymore.
"Uncle, are you from the Air Force?"
the little boy asked, pulling on Chen Bei's trouser legs.
Although Chen Bei was retired, he still wore the uniform of the Air Force, with a green top, blue trousers, and a big-brimmed hat with flying red stars.
"Uncle is no longer in the Air Force."
Chen Bei touched the little boy's head.
"Why?"
the little boy continued to ask.
"Uncle is discharged from the army."
"What does retirement mean?"
"I just don't want to be a soldier anymore."
"Why don't you quit the military?
Uncle, don't you want to fight the American Japanese?"
the little boy asked relentlessly.
The passengers all raised their eyes and looked at Chen Bei, somewhat puzzled in their hearts.
It was a time when the country was employing people.
Young people were enthusiastically joining the army to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
Why did this Air Force cadre retire from the army?
Could it be that he was afraid of death?
The little boy's father saw a touch of metallic color exposed on Chen Bei's trouser legs, and understood that this was an honorable disabled soldier.
He hurriedly pulled the child back and said sincerely: "Comrade, I'm sorry, the child is talking nonsense, don't be as knowledgeable as him. " Chen Bei smiled: "It doesn't matter."
It took four days and three nights on the train from Northeast China to Jiangdong.
When Chen Bei appeared at the exit of the provincial capital railway station in a dusty state, his genius was dim.
A dim street light stretched his figure very long, because he was not notified.
He was at home, so no one came to pick him up.
He carried his luggage and walked home step by step.
The streets were extremely empty at dawn, with occasional vehicles passing by.
After walking for half an hour, we arrived at the house on Fenglin Road.
The doorman was still sleeping, so Chen Bei didn't disturb him.
He put down his backpack and sat on the front steps until dawn.
When the big iron door of the mansion opened, the guard realized that it was the young master who had returned.
He was so shocked that he said incoherently: "Young master, you, you, you, why didn't you knock on the door."
Today's Chen Mansion is not what it used to be.
Before liberation, there was a reinforced battalion of guards stationed on duty day and night, and double posts were added at night.
But now there is only one guard who is over sixty years old.
The Provincial Public Security Department's Security Office has assigned a guard class.
The soldiers were pushed back by Chen Zikun, saying that now is New China and there is no one to guard against.

"It's okay, I'm afraid it will disturb the family."
Chen Bei said with a smile.
After entering the house, all the relatives had just gotten up and were having breakfast and getting ready to go to work.
They were all very happy to see Chen Bei back.
Xia Xiaoqing was the happiest.
She asked after him and looked him up and down, fearing that his son was lacking in something.
"Are you coming back to visit relatives or something?"
Chen Zikun noticed something was wrong with his son's expression and asked immediately.
"Something happened, and the Air Force asked me to transfer my job back to the local area."
Chen Bei said calmly.
Everyone in the family was startled, and Xia Xiaoqing immediately said, "Just come back."
Yao Yilei also quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, it's good to come back.
It's a good thing to change jobs and go back to your place."
Chen Zikun knew that there must be something hidden in this, so he asked Chen Bei to sit down and eat quickly.
After eating, he would take a bath and go to sleep.
He would talk about it later if he had anything to do.
He also told everyone to do what they should do.
Chen Bei ate and took a shower, but did not catch up on his sleep.
Instead, he came to the study to report to his father.
Chen Zikun continued his previous habit of working in the official residence and rarely went to the provincial government building.
Father and son sat facing each other.
Chen Zikun gave his son a cigarette.
Chen Bei was a little surprised, but he still took it.
"Tell me what happened," Chen Zikun said.
Then Chen Bei's experience after going to the north in 1510 came to him, and he finally sighed: "I can't understand how everything in this world is twisted.
The woman I bravely saved turned out to be a pervert, and was beaten to a concussion by me.
But Lao Maozi spoke up and saved me.
On the contrary, the organization I worked for loyally dealt with me indiscriminately.
If it hadn't been for the face of my father and the Soviets, I would have been shot. " Chen Zikun said: "You grew up in the United States during your boyhood and youth, and your logic of life did not adapt to the domestic situation.
Before liberation, you had a father and a godmother to protect you.
Even if you poke a hole in the sky, it doesn't matter.
Today, the sky has changed.
You usually Your words and deeds have already caused dissatisfaction from others.
In addition, it has caused such a big loss.
It is not your responsibility, but it becomes your responsibility.
I said before that it may not be right for you to fly back.
Now you understand "?"
Chen Bei was silent for a moment and said: "Mr.
Jingguo said that our Chen family is like the Zheng family in the late Ming Dynasty.
I am Zheng Chenggong and you are Zheng Zhilong.
He is right.
If I stay in Taiwan, my leg will not be broken.
"ostracized" Chen Zikun shook his head: "No, you are still young and do not understand politics.
It is not necessarily wrong for Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
He knew that Fujian would not be able to hold on, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold overseas.

The temptation given by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was big enough, so it was split into two. , here is a double insurance, but his calculations are too precise, and they are no match for the Manchu cheating, and Caishikou beheaded the whole family. " Chen Bei was surprised: "Father, do you think our family can do this?"
Chen Zikun said: "You are overthinking.
The Communist Party is different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
They are benevolent and generous.
They keep their word and our family is safe."
Chen Bei felt that the expression on his father's words was somewhat insincere, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The father who was wise, wise, and had a will of steel in those days has gradually aged, become cautious, shrinking, and does not even dare to speak the truth.
"Okay, you go and have a rest.
Think about work later."
Chen Zikun said.
The Chen family has a strong foundation, and it is no problem to support a few idle people.
But Chen Bei is a young man in the prime of his life.
It is not good for him to stay at home all day long.
He strongly demands to join the work.
It is said that he is a battalion-level cadre of the Air Force who has transferred to the job, and he can be assigned to the political and legal agency first.
For example, the Public Security Bureau or something, but Chen Zikun rejected it with just one sentence.
"Xiaobei is too upright and kind-hearted to work there."
Although the provincial capital is large, it is not as developed as Beitai.
There are a large number of industrial enterprises.
Chen Bei decided to go to work at Jiangbei United Machinery Company.
This time Chen Zikun agreed and made a phone call to make arrangements.
Naturally, everything went smoothly.
Just when Chen Bei was about to go to a new job, Chen Nan came back from Shanghai during the summer vacation.
He was in his third year at Fudan University and had already started doing social investigation work.
When he talked about what he had seen in Shanghai, he was very excited.
"You know, Huang Huangrong, the big bully before liberation and the leader of the underworld, is now cleaning the door of the big world.
The people's government is giving it a wide berth and does not kill him.
It is really easy for this bad guy.
Let me tell you, those Qinggang gangsters , they all have to be shot," Chen Nan said excitedly.
Chen Zikun said: "Xiao Nan, your father and I are an old man with a senior rank in the Qing Gang.
Should I also be shot?"
Chen Nan immediately blushed: "Dad, that's not what I meant.
I meant those who committed heinous crimes."
Chen Zikun said: "You are about to graduate from college, and you should have some opinions of your own.
People in the old society were extremely poor and were oppressed by both the government and foreigners.
Joining the Youth Gang had no choice but to make a living and stay together.
There are indeed many scum in the gang. , but in At that time, there was still a progressive and positive meaning of existence.
When Mr.
Sun Yat-sen engaged in the anti-Qing cause, didn't he mainly rely on the power of the Communist Party?
Take your father and me as an example.
I am both a member of the Youth Gang and a member of the Liberation Movement.
I have dual identities.
It’s hard to define black and white.”
Chen Nan said: "I know I was wrong.
I will look at it dialectically and analyze when I encounter problems in the future."

Chen Zikun said: "Okay, how is your Uncle Li doing lately?"
Chen Nandao: "Uncle Li donated two properties and a nightclub under his name to the government.
When the anti-rebellion work was carried out, he cooperated with the Public Security Bureau to catch many hidden spies and bad elements.
Mayor Chen Yi also met him personally, Shaking hands with him."
Chen Zikun thought to himself that Li Yaoting was very wise.
After all, he was his brother who had been nurtured by him for many years.
I also asked Chen Nan about his future after graduation.
He was already prepared and said that he had two plans.
One was to stay in Shanghai to engage in journalism, and the other was to return to Jiangdong to engage in education.
Chen Nan said: "The best plan is to stay in Shanghai and work as a reporter, but it will be difficult.
Dad, don't you know Aunt Tang?
Just ask her to say hello."
"Which Aunt Tang?"
Chen Zikun immediately thought of his old friend.
"That's Aunt Tang Yan.
She is still single.
She works as the editor-in-chief of a newspaper and also serves as the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee.
She is a heavyweight in Shanghai's newspaper industry."
Chen Nanren is a little kid and knows that his father is having an affair with this Aunt Tang. , said with a slightly sly smile.
Chen Zikun said: "We are in a new society.
How can we use power to smuggle in backdoors?
If you are capable, go for an interview.
If you are not capable, come back to Jiangdong.
Dad will arrange a job for you, whether you will be a teacher in Jiangnan University or a reporter in a newspaper."
It’s up to you, I won’t say hello to Aunt Tang anyway.”
Chen Nan was dejected and had to give up.
After dinner, Chen Nan went to his mother Liu Ting and complained: "My father has always been the least fond of me and doesn't care about my work.
I even doubt whether I am my biological child."
Liu Ting advised him: "Don't think nonsense.
Dad is strict with you for your own good.
That Aunt Tang is not a good person.
You should avoid interacting with her, otherwise it will bring trouble to the family, and mom will not be able to protect you."
Chen Nan said: "Why, Aunt Tang is very nice.
She came to our school to give a report.
She is a very determined proletarian news warrior."
Liu Ting said: "You don't know much about the older generation, so don't interact with her anyway."
Chen Nan said: "I know."
But he said in his heart that I was not allowed to come and go, so I had to go find Aunt Tang.
While Chen Bei was recuperating at home, Chen Yan introduced him to another person.
The person was a female nurse from the Provincial First People's Hospital.
She had average family conditions and was very beautiful.
The two met on a blind date in People's Park.
The two of them were strolling along the park boulevard.
The female nurse secretly observed Chen Bei's right leg.
She could hardly see any disability when walking.

She felt satisfied and lightly opened her lips and asked, "I heard from Dr.
Chen that you are a battalion-level cadre."
"Um."
"Then if you want to transfer to a local government, should you go to the department level or the deputy county level?"
"I don't know the correspondence."
"I heard that your family has a car."
"The provincial government allocated it to my father."
"I heard you have a disability in your legs."
"Yes, I have a prosthetic leg installed on my right calf."
"If you become disabled on the job, you should get a monthly subsidy, right?"
Chen Bei's face was already very ugly, and he suddenly stopped: "I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so excuse me."
He turned away and left, leaving the female nurse feeling ashamed and angry
