Chapter 207 The front line of northern Xinjiang, the beacon fires rise again!
Chu Jingzhe has always avoided talking about his life experience, but it is not easy to talk about it if he is truly in a state of no turmoil?
The old man lives in a relatively old community, but most of the people living in this community are people with status, and many of them are big names who retired from the official department.
However, Chu Jingzhe was not good at socializing, and even though he had lived here for three years, he did not know many people.
This community is called Fenghua Community. The community is not very big, with only two or three hundred households. However, the environment here is very good, close to a natural lake, with good air and quiet and elegant.
Most of the people in the community are familiar with each other and are very harmonious. At least on the surface, everyone will greet each other with a smile when they meet.
The old man's residence is near the north edge, and few people come here except for the cleaners.
After the three of them parked the car, they came to the house and found that the steps in front of the door were covered with weeds, the door was closed and covered with dust. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.
Chu Jingzhe stepped forward, opened the door, and walked into the house. Everything that he had once been familiar with was still there and nothing changed.
Desk, chess board...
However, it was covered with thick dust.
He walked to the desk and found a letter on it, probably left to him by the old man.
He picked up the envelope and removed the dust from it. There was nothing written on the envelope. Chu Jingzhe took out the contents inside, only a few short sentences, but he recognized it at a glance that this was the handwriting of the old man.
"Boy, I heard two days ago that you took over Lao Cheng's work and my mission was completed. From then on, I will be free and wander around the world..."
Judging from the information in the letter, this letter should have been written three years ago, which means that the old man has been away for three years.
Chu Jingzhe put away the letter and slowly walked to the chessboard.
On the chessboard, black and white pieces crisscrossed. Chu Jingzhe remembered it very clearly that this was the last half game of chess played by the two before the old man sent him to the army.
The reason for the half-game is that the game of chess was not finished yet. The old man said something at that time, and Chu Jingzhe still remembers it vividly.
"The best result is not to know the exact result, but to keep a little suspense!"
After saying this, the old man threw the white piece in his hand into the chess basket, got up and went back to the room to rest.
That night, Chu Jingzhe was not asleep all night and was about to set foot on the battlefield. His mood was very complicated.
Fear? It doesn't seem to be!
Perhaps, for him at that time, he was more confused about the unknown.
He didn't expect that after so many years, the chess that had not been finished in the game was still there, but the person who played the chess at the time didn't know where it was.
"What was said in the letter?" Tan Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Chu Jingzhe smiled and replied: "He has gone out to wander around the world!"
Then, he looked at the messy house and said, "Come on, clean up the house, we have to live here during this period!"
After Chu Jingzhe said that, he took off his coat, found a rag and a broom, and started cleaning. Xu Feng went to get a bucket of water. Even Tan Xiaoxiao did not think it was dirty at all and started to take action.
Doing a big cleaning is a very hard thing. After half a day, the three of them cleaned only the living room and a room. Tan Xiaoxiao ordered a takeaway, and the three of them dealt with it briefly and continued to work.
After working hard for two days, I finally cleaned the front and back of the house. Suddenly, the whole house was completely renewed. Although the house was a bit old and not as good as a modern villa, it was very comfortable to live in.
Afterwards, Xu Feng inspected the electrical circuits here again, while Chu Jingzhe went out with Tan Xiaoxiao to buy daily necessities and some kitchen utensils.
On the way home, the two of them twisted big bags, talking and laughing.
Tan Xiaoxiao felt that if his subordinates in southern Xinjiang saw Chu Jingzhe's appearance, they would not know what they would feel.
"Chu Yu, you have changed!" Tan Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
Chu Jingzhe's eyebrows were narrowed and he asked, "Where has changed?"
Tan Xiaoxiao said seriously: "You have become more humane and more ignited!"
After listening to it, Chu Jingzhe suddenly felt speechless. He used to be a machine without emotions?
Tan Xiaoxiao seemed to see what he thought, pouted and said, "That's it. You used to be serious and cold to others!"
Chu Jingzhe turned around and thought, it seemed that this was true. Recently, he was unknowingly influenced by the people around him.
Whether it is my sister Shiyu or Tan Xiaoxiao, they are all subtly affecting themselves, and even talking more.
"You are, Chu Yu?" At this moment, a young woman walked off a BMW, picked up a valuable handbag, and walked towards her.
Suddenly, the woman noticed Chu Jingzhe not far away, looked at him, and finally asked in an uncertain tone.
Chu Jingzhe looked up and saw a woman with long hair, beautiful face and extraordinary temperament standing in front of him.
Chu Jingzhe only felt that the woman looked familiar. After some thought, he finally remembered that this seemed to be a neighbor in the community. He hadn't seen him for many years, but he still had some impression.
"Tian Ning?" Chu Jingzhe asked.
"Yes! I've disappeared for more than ten years. I heard you've gone to the army?" The woman's name was Tian Ning. She was from this community, two or three years younger than Chu Jingzhe. She is now a graceful girl. I have to sigh that time passes so quickly.
Tian Ning looked around Tan Xiaoxiao without any trace, and then asked, "Are you just coming back from the army?"
There was no deep connection at all, so Chu Jingzhe didn't want to talk to him much, so he just nodded perfunctorily and said goodbye.
When he returned home, Chu Jingzhe personally cooked and cooked a lunch, which made a delicious meal.
In the afternoon, the gardens in front of and behind the house were cleaned up. Many of the flowers and plants were planted by Chu Jingzhe. They have been neglected to prune and grow wildly overgrown weeds over the years.
After working hard for a few days, the house finally looked like a home. In the past few days, Chu Jingzhe returned to his previous rhythm of life, running around in the morning, drinking tea, reading books, playing chess, fishing...
Chu Jingzhe had just returned from running in the morning, and Tan Xiaoxiao had already prepared breakfast, soy milk, fried dough sticks and white porridge, which were very ordinary, but very homey.
"Master, I just received the news that the war in the northern border may begin!" Xu Feng stuffed a large piece of fried dough sticks into his mouth and said.
Chu Jingzhe squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly. In recent years, northern border has been relatively calm. I think the other party has been preparing for rest.
"Detailed information will be delivered at noon!" Xu Feng continued.
Chu Jingzhe nodded and continued to drink porridge.
His character has always been like this. In the past, even if the enemy troops were at the city, he would continue to eat. In his words, this is called sharpening the knife and chopping wood.
