Chapter 198 The Regiment Commander's Brother-in-Law Intercepted

"You passed the exam early?!"

Wen Yaozu's eyes widened in shock. He reached out and grabbed Gu Che's arm, saying with a grin, "Brother Gu Che, let me absorb some of your academic aura. I want to get into Tsinghua or Peking University in the future."

Gu Che didn't discourage him, and said with a smile, "Okay, then Xiao Yaozu should study hard and try to become my junior in a few years."

"Uh-huh."

Wen Ci witnessed the interaction between the two and had to admit that Gu Che was a good man, but unfortunately his girlfriend was Jiang Ye.

Where are you planning to go first?

Wen Yaozu replied, "My sister wants to take me to a professor to learn how to use a computer first."

"A computer?" Gu Che's gaze involuntarily turned to Wen Ci, whom he had heard the elders of the Jiang family mention yesterday.

Wen Ci made a lot of money selling clothes.

But I never expected to be able to afford a computer so soon.

Even in the computer labs of Tsinghua and Peking Universities, there are only a few computers. Students can only use them during regular classes under the supervision of professors.

Gu Che felt envious and pointed the way, saying, "The professors in the Computer Science Department all live in the staff quarters in Area C. You can go there directly."

"Thank you."

Wen Ci didn't want to talk to Gu Che any longer, lest someone she knew see them and tell Jiang Ye, which would cause a lot of trouble. So she pulled Wen Yaozu toward the Tsinghua-Peking University campus.

After entering Tsinghua and Peking Universities, Wen Yaozu asked curiously, "Sis, why do you and Brother Gu Che seem so distant now?"

The two used to have a very good relationship. He had even heard his parents mention that they had the idea of ​​marrying his sister to Gu Che, and he thought that Gu Che would become his brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the group leader's brother-in-law snatched it away.

"Is it unfamiliar?"

Wen Yaozu nodded vigorously: "Before, you two would look at each other with smiles, and you would even be shy, sister. Now it seems like you don't even want to talk to Gu Che-ge, let alone your sister."

Wen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly.

That was the original text's gentle words and had nothing to do with me.

Moreover, even without Huo Jingyuan, she wouldn't have chosen Gu Che. The 1980s were the most lucrative time, and it was better to focus on her career and become a female tycoon than to date!

Arriving at the C District residential compound, the Qingbei residential compound consists of three-story buildings made of red bricks, with a huge locust tree in the middle of the courtyard.

Benches made of stones were placed under the locust tree, and several elderly women were chatting. Wen Ci led Wen Yaozu over and asked in a sweet voice:
"Professors, I'd like to ask Wu Qian, which house does Professor Wu live at?"

"What's the matter with you?"

Wen Ci answered truthfully: "That's right, my husband is Huo Jingyuan, and I came to Tsinghua and Peking University to learn about computers from Professor Wu."

Upon hearing this, an elderly professor, leaning on his cane, slowly stood up, looked at Wen Ci with a kind expression, and said with a smile, "I am Wu Qian's mother. She is in the computer lab today. Let me take you to my home."

Wen Ci repeatedly refused, "No need, no need, I can go to the computer lab by myself."

"Huo Jingyuan sounds familiar. Could he be the grandson of the late Chief Huo?"

The old professor nodded: "He is Old Man Huo's grandson."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ci's eyes lit up with gossip. The other elderly professors and Professor Wu's mother were of similar age, but they all referred to Huo Jingyuan as Chief Huo, his maternal grandfather.

The only person Professor Wu's mother addressed was "Old Man Huo".

You can tell from the way they address each other that Professor Wu's mother and Huo Jingyuan's maternal grandfather know each other, and they seem to be very close.

"Would you like to come in for a visit?"

Wen Ci nodded obediently: "Okay."

After saying that, she let go of Wen Yaozu's hand and walked to Grandma Wu's side: "I'll help you."

Grandma Wu's house is in the south-facing building, room number 103.

The door was unlocked and ajar. The apartment had two bedrooms, and there was an old-fashioned sofa in the living room with a television on a cabinet. "What position does Xiao Jingyuan hold now?"

Wen Ci pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.

Huo Jingyuan is currently injured and has been temporarily transferred to northern Shaanxi to serve as the regimental political commissar. However, this position is only temporary, and he will return to his position as regimental commander once he recovers.

"can not say?"

Wen Ci shook his head. "No, it's just that I don't know how to say it. He's about to be transferred to northern Shaanxi to serve as a regimental political commissar for a year. After his term ends, he'll return to the Northwest to serve as a regimental commander."

The appointment of officers is not a secret. Officers of the rank of regimental political commissar are notarized, and anyone with a connection can find out.

As a senior professor at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, it would be easy for Grandma Wu to find out Huo Jingyuan's rank.

"Political Commissar of the Regiment? Xiao Jingyuan's promotion path is a bit slow."

Wen Ci smiled gently and replied, "Grandma Wu, Jingyuan's promotion is already quite good in the military. Things are different now than before."

In the past, military merits were easy to obtain and promotions were quick during wartime, but they were also more dangerous.

It's not as dangerous as it used to be, and officers aren't promoted as easily anymore. Huo Jingyuan became a regimental commander at a young age and earned a lot of military merits.

"That's right."

Grandma Wu's home was clean and tidy. The sofa was covered with a plain-colored cover, and there was a kettle and old-fashioned bowls and cups on the table. "I'll pour you some water."

"No need, we'll do it ourselves."

As soon as Wen Ci sat down, she saw the photo wall next to the TV. The photos were dated and were group photos from the 1920s.

The man standing in the very center bears a striking resemblance to Huo Jingyuan.

Wen Ci guessed.

The person in the center of the photo should be Huo Jingyuan's maternal grandfather.

Wen Ci smiled and asked, "Grandma Wu, I'm a little curious, are you and Jingyuan's maternal grandfather comrades-in-arms?"

"Like friends, but not really friends."

"what?"

Wen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly, as if she had heard some gossip. The phrase "friends who are not friends" was used quite "ambiguously," meaning it could be friendship or not.

"It's old stuff, let's not talk about it."
-
Wen Ci stayed at Grandma Wu's house for half an hour. Although she didn't hear the gossip herself, she could guess a little bit about it after learning about Grandma Wu's background.

Grandma Wu was among the first group of people to go abroad on government-funded scholarships.

In those days, it was extremely difficult to be recognized by the state and go abroad on government funding, and it was even more difficult for Grandma Wu, who was a woman.

Perhaps because of going abroad, Grandma Wu and Huo Jingyuan's maternal grandfather missed each other.

"I can use a computer too; I have one at home."

Wen Ci's eyes widened, but she quickly composed herself. Grandma Wu was one of the first highly skilled individuals to go abroad and come into contact with computers.

It's perfectly normal to have a computer at home.

Wen Ci was struggling with how to pay Professor Wu for his lectures.

Grandma Wu definitely wouldn't accept the money.

It won't work if you don't pay.

Suddenly, Wen Ci had a flash of inspiration. Instead of struggling with this problem herself, she decided to let the culprit solve it. Huo Jingyuan deliberately sent her over.

Then let him handle it.

"Grandma Wu, do you have a landline at home? I'll call Jingyuan over now and have him chat with you. You must not have seen him for many years, right?"

"Okay, the landline is under the table."

Grandma Wu bent down to take out the landline phone, but Wen Ci quickly helped her up, saying, "No need, I'll take it. You can just sit down."
