Fawn

Cheng Shiteng went straight back to Tianjin, and after waiting another day in Tianjin, Cheng Tingli also came back from Zhangjiakou—the Nanjing Executive Yuan dismissed him as chairman of Chahar Province the day before on the grounds that he had “repeatedly caused troubles.”

According to the people around Cheng Tingli, the level of his rage this time was unprecedented in the past five years.Blowing back from Zhangjiakou to Tianjin like a gust of wind, Cheng Tingli was so angry that his temple hair turned gray again.After seeing his son at home, without mentioning anything else, he pointed at the tip of his nose and yelled: "If you believe that Jiang, I'm a fucking bastard!"

Cheng Shiteng was startled by his voice, and because his father has been on the rise in his official career in recent years, he has never suffered such a big setback, and because of his age, he can't compare with the physique of a young man , so he walked up to Cheng Tingli, first carefully looked at his father's expression, and then comforted softly: "Dad, please be patient. How could Nanjing not know about your contribution? They are nothing more than pressure from the Japanese now." That's all, the situation is changing day by day, let's look back!"

Cheng Tingli glared at him: "I don't care! I'll live my mother's life behind closed doors, and no one will care about me!"

Cheng Shiteng knew his father well, and when he saw his father's enthusiasm, he immediately backed away sensibly, fearing that he would burn himself, and be beaten and scolded by his father as a punching bag.He withdrew, but Xiao Han went up to meet him without fear of death, put his arm around Cheng Tingli's arm with one hand, and rubbed his heart with the other hand to calm him down.However, Cheng Tingli didn't know what to do when he was furious. He swung Xiao Han staggeringly with one arm, and then he turned around and kicked Xiao Han, curling up on the ground, unable to move for a while, even Can't say a word.

Cheng Tingli didn't care about him, and walked out angrily, with the wind in his trousers, he walked like a dragon and a tiger all the way.Xiao Han lay on his side on the ground, unable to move due to the pain, he could only keep his eyes open and look at his back.

Cheng Tingli did what he said, and he really closed the door from then on, beat chickens and scolded dogs at home, went crazy, and went crazy for more than half a month before gradually returning to normal.And his old subordinates have been asking each other, and when they learned that the military seat can understand human speech again, they began to come to the door one after another——Cheng Tingli's prestige and power are definitely not something that can be wiped out by the Executive Yuan; let's talk about the situation in North China It's so complicated, the Japanese army is pressing on every step, and Nanjing's forces are withdrawing from the Pingjin area step by step. Once a power vacuum and a military vacuum are formed, they, the division commanders and brigade commanders who hold a lot of troops, must ask Cheng Tingli for help. Asking for ideas.

Cheng Tingli had two minds, while calculating the general trend of the world, he also supervised his son's every move.This day, he called Cheng Shiteng to his face and asked, "I heard that you left your errands and went to Donghezi a while ago?"

Cheng Shiteng is still in control of the smoking ban. The new chairman of Chahar Province is his father-in-law, Lao Bai. He is also resentful that his son-in-law is a widow.Anyway, Cheng Shiteng's daughter didn't enjoy much of Cheng Shiteng's property, so Lao Bai deliberately took down his bureau chief and asked him to go home and be with his father; It still exists, so it should not be underestimated. Cheng Shiteng himself has worked hard over the years, and the foundation is quite solid. It is not something he can win if he wants to.

Since Cheng Shiteng is in his position, he naturally wants to seek his own government.Sitting in front of his father at this moment, he leaned on the sofa chair a little tiredly, and lit a cigarette for himself: "Well, I went, and looked at the deer."

Cheng Tingli immediately raised two eyebrows: "You don't want to die?"

Cheng Shiteng spit at his father: "I know it well. I met him in Beiping before I went, and I had a few words with him—otherwise I wouldn't dare to go rashly."

Cheng Tingli's eyebrows slowly returned to their original positions: "How is he now?"

Cheng Shiteng smiled, and took out a pocket watch from his pocket.Unfastening the pocket watch chain from the button on his chest, he opened the watch cover, and handed it to Cheng Tingli as if offering a treasure: "Look."

Cheng Tingli took it over and took a look, and saw a small round photo embedded in the cover of the watch. On the photo was the full face of the deer. It seemed that this was a recent photo.

With a "click" the cover of the watch was closed, Cheng Tingli felt sour in his heart: "He gave it to you?"

Cheng Shiteng leaned forward and stretched out his hand, and took back the pocket watch from his father: "It's stolen. I lived in his house and took it out of his study secretly."

Cheng Tingli lowered his eyes, embarrassed to admit that he was jealous.And Cheng Shiteng put the pocket watch back into his breast pocket, and exhaled a puff of smoke contentedly and lazily forward.

It's not showing off, it's hinting.Between father and son, the only relative, but he can't say anything, he can only hint, implying that he and Xiaolu are already in love, and father should not interfere in it no matter what.

Cheng Tingli understood his hint, so in the following time, he refused to face his son squarely.The son is so young and beautiful, just like when he was in his twenties.But now that he is over half a century old, he really doesn't have the capital to compete with his son in his twenties.

Unless there is no competition, only snatching.But with Xiao Lu's current strength and backing, how could it be easily snatched away?

Cheng Shiteng had sat enough with his father and had finished talking, so he patted his butt and got up to leave.And as soon as he left, Xiao Han came in with his back.

Cheng Tingli was suffocated by his son's hint, and now he didn't look good when he saw Xiao Han.Subconsciously comparing Xiao Han and Xiao Lu, he suddenly felt that Xiao Han was almost unsightly.Xiao Han stood in front of him, before he said a word, he picked up the teacup and threw it at Xiao Han indiscriminately: "Get out!"

Xiao Han has been clinging to him all these days, and was tortured by his temper until he was half-dead. Now he suddenly saw the teacup flying towards him, and before he had time to dodge, he was hit hard on the forehead.He hurriedly raised his hand to take the teacup. The teacup was not broken, but the hot water in the teacup splashed all over his body and face, and his forehead immediately turned red.Staring at Cheng Tingli in a daze, he opened his mouth and was dumb for a moment, and finally a weeping face appeared on his face. At the same time, he raised his teacup high and viciously smashed it to the ground.

Then he ran away crying, and Cheng Tingli knew he couldn't get out of this mansion, so he ignored him—it was better if he ran out, he often felt that this child was sticky and annoying, which was another kind of evil nature.

After some time like this, some Japanese began to visit the gate of Cheng's mansion, wanting to win Cheng Tingli's cooperation and establish an autonomous government in North China so as to fight against Nanjing.Cheng Tingli has his own ideas. Although he is greedy for fame and fortune, he will never stand on the cusp of this storm.He had fought the Japanese for more than a year before, and he had always fought with real swords and guns. Now he changed his strategy and began to deal with the Japanese only with words, without any actual actions.Sitting at home, he waited quietly for various figures to come to his door.

Not long after this, in the early autumn of this year, he returned to both the military and political circles-the Nanjing government appointed him as the chairman of Hebei Province, and he also served as the security commander of Hebei Province.

At the same time, an autonomous government in North China was also established, called the Political Affairs Committee. There were people from both the Chinese side and the Japanese side in this committee. The situation was very complicated, and Zhao Zhensheng was the chairman of the committee.General Zhao is younger than Cheng Tingli and more ambitious than Cheng Tingli.Cheng Tingli is afraid of causing trouble, but he is not.Cheng Tingli doesn't even care about his position now, he just wants to keep his own army and wealth; General Zhao is determined to be the king of North China, and he wants to take care of the Japanese; people in Nanjing, as long as they go to North China, they have to listen to him.

The swords and swords are in the dark, and the military leaders, big and small, are stationed on their respective sites, and they live their lives as usual, such as Xiaolu.

Xiao Lu's life is quite good, and Mei Taro no longer contacts him, which makes him feel very peaceful.On a lukewarm autumn day, he set up a chessboard on the steps, then sat on the floor, playing chess with himself.Li Guoming squatted aside with his chin in his hands, because he couldn't understand the chess game, so he always wanted to gossip.Xiaolu thought he was noisy and asked him to talk to Xiaoquan, but Li Guoming looked down on Xiaoquan, saying that he and 50 yuan had nothing to say.

In fact, Li Guoming felt that he and Xiaolu had nothing to talk about. Xiaolu was a taciturn person, and he basically didn't talk about other topics except military affairs; if a face didn't smile, it would have no expression at all.
