Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

In the private room of the cafeteria of Institute 607, when Ding Wei asked again the purpose of bringing him out, Chang Zhengyang's expression became serious.

"It was my idea to get you out. Of course, I don't have the power to get you out. I just had a plan but lacked a suitable person to execute it. It just so happened that Old Zhao accidentally mentioned you, and I thought you were a good fit, so I went to the old man to report my work."

Ding Wei was immediately excited when he heard this. He didn't even bother to drink the wine. He came up to Chang Zhengyang and said, "Old man, what did he say about me?"

Chang Zhengyang put his left hand on his waist and waved his right hand vigorously, saying: "I know that kid Ding Wei. He is loyal to the country and the people!"

Ding Wei stood up suddenly and tried to grab Chang Zhengyang by the collar, but the other party avoided him without leaving a trace.

"Did the old man really say that to me?"

Chang Zhengyang waved his hand again and said, "Nonsense!"

The two sat down again and drank another glass of wine. Chang Zhengyang saw that Ding Wei's mood had stabilized and continued, "We have a plan in Nanyang..."

Chang Zhengyang gave Ding Wei a detailed explanation of the development of Xinyi Society on Java Island in the past two years.

Finally, he said helplessly: "My second uncle and his gang use tricks and schemes one after another. They are worthy of being the principal's disciples. They are all of the same character. They are really dog ​​meat that cannot be served at the banquet. So I have been looking for a suitable army commander. Look, you, Old Ding, are useful."

"Let me go to Java Island to lead the troops to fight! Just those third-rate armed forces in Southeast Asia..."

Chang Zhengyang sneered, "Old Ding, don't brag. The Nanyang rainforest is dense, and there are swamps, snakes, insects, and poisonous miasma everywhere. Which one won't kill people?"

Ding Wei was not convinced when he heard this and said, "These are all difficulties that can be overcome..."

Chang Zhengyang waved his hand and said, "I don't care about this. You are an old soldier and you are familiar with fighting. Let me tell you our long-term strategic goals."

Chang Zhengyang took out a world map that he had prepared long ago, pointed at the countries in Southeast Asia on the map and said, "Southeast Asia has been our sphere of influence since ancient times. In modern times, our power has declined, and the European countries have taken advantage of the situation and divided and occupied this place one by one. This is not okay. This is our back garden. One day when we develop, our products must be sold. The population and geographical location of Southeast Asia are both excellent trading partners. Therefore, your task is not simply to be an armed leader. You are also responsible for training the Chinese in Southeast Asia, driving three nails in Siam, Malaysia, and Java Island, and keeping a close eye on this area. This is a major matter for future generations. Do you still have any opinions?"

Ding Wei looked at the map and said excitedly, "That's it. Damn it. I didn't expect that I could do such a big thing in my life. Now that I've done it, when will I set off?"

Chang Zhengyang rolled up the map and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Take care of your body first, and learn the customs and practices of Nanyang. The old man told me to tell you that if you do well, I will restore your reputation and give you more responsibilities in the future."

hey-hey……

Ding Wei rubbed his hands excitedly, looking so anxious. He didn't have the dignity of a veteran general at all, but just like a rookie soldier who was about to touch a gun for the first time.

Chang Zhengyang sat down and said, "Drink, drink, the food is not finished yet. From the beginning, I am your contact person. You are no longer Ding Wei, but Tom Ding, a Chinese who has lived on Java Island for generations. Do you want to meet your old friend, wife and children?"

Ding Wei was silent for a moment, then silently poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp and said, "No need, let's wait until we can show up in public in the future."

Chang Zhengyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Then you better not die there. Also, based on my understanding of Lao Li, he will make mistakes sooner or later. When the time comes, I will send him to you to serve me."

"Really?"

Ding Wei's eyes lit up, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very possible.

Ding Wei was overjoyed at the thought that Lao Li would be used as his chief soldier in the future.

The two of them drank three bottles of wine in total, and Ding Wei drank almost two bottles alone. In the end, Chang Zhengyang picked up the drunk Ding Wei and left him in the dormitory.

For the next three months, Ding Wei stayed here, recuperating his health while learning about the customs and culture of Southeast Asia. He spent a very peaceful time.

For the next ten years, no one knew where Ding Lao Hu had gone.

……

Today is August 31st. The weather is cloudy and it is still very hot in the morning due to the ravages of the autumn heat.

Early in the morning of that day, the entire Chang family went out to escort, or rather, to accompany the seven-year-old little Pig to school.

The little girl was seen wearing brand new clothes and carrying a small army green shoulder bag. She was walking proudly in the front, greeting people in the alley from time to time and telling them that she was going to school today.

The whole family watched her every word and action silently, thinking about how to comfort the girl at noon.

Today, in addition to Zhuzhu who is entering the first grade, the third and fourth children are going to the first grade of junior high school, and the second child, Chang Wanyue, is going to the third grade of senior high school.

The four brothers and sisters behaved differently. Zhuzhu was very excited, the third and fourth brothers were going to the execution ground, and Chang Wanyue looked calm and composed.

The whole family soon arrived at Hongxing Primary School and handed Zhuzhu over to his class teacher Luo Wei, who was also the class teacher of Chang Zhengyang, Chang Wanyue, and the third and fourth children.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Chang brothers and sisters were all raised by Luo Wei.

"Hello, Mr. Luo. I'll leave the pig to you."

"Oh, is this cute kid Piggy?"

Luo Wei was obviously good at dealing with children. She squatted down in front of Zhuzhu, stretched out her hand, rubbed Zhuzhu's little head with a smile, and kept saying words of praise. She quickly eliminated Zhuzhu's wariness and finally took Zhuzhu's little hand into the school.

Chang Zhengyang looked at Zhuzhu's leaving figure, and somehow, he felt a little reluctant and had mixed feelings.

He really hopes that Zhuzhu can always maintain her innocence, but he knows that this is impossible. Zhuzhu will grow up eventually and have her own path in life.

“Is this the old father’s dilemma?”

Chang Zhengyang glanced at his father's eyes and actually saw some tears. Somehow, he also felt a sense of empathy.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. The wind was too strong just now and some sand blew into my eyes. Okay, you guys should go to class and listen to your teachers at school."

Chang Baichuan raised his head, blinked a few times, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Chang Wanyue and the others looked at him in confusion, feeling that their father was acting strangely just now.

Chang Zhengyang and Guo Huiying looked at each other, smiled secretly, and then rode their bicycles to work.
