The backyard of the Gao family's old house in Liantai County
The sun rarely came out today. Although the weather was still cold, Gao Hongming still went out to bask in the sun.
At this time, he was lying on a lazy chair, with his eyes slightly closed, letting the chair sway, looking leisurely and contented.
"Dad...Dad..."
Suddenly, two childish voices sounded nearby. Gao Hongming opened his eyes and saw two small figures stumbling towards him.
"dad……"
"Eh……"
Seeing the two figures running towards him with short legs, Gao Hongming felt his heart melt and quickly stood up.
Soon, the two little guys jumped into his arms. Gao Hongming hugged the two figures with a little force with his hands, and then kissed the two little guys on the face with two "Bobo" sounds.
These two little guys are Gao Pengcheng, the son and Gao Xiaolian, the daughter of Qin Xiulian and Xie Wenqian.
I subconsciously looked at each other and Political Commissar Wang beside me. Now that it was time to ask, I could only suppress the bad curiosity in my heart and followed Li Yunlong into the living room.
No, he came running over very early in the morning, calling for his father.
"Old Li, Commander Ding, Commander Kong, your department was ordered to encircle and contain the enemy in Taiyuan. Is your operation going smoothly now?"
As you said, I, Lao Li, will do it first out of respect!"
After eight rounds of wine and seven dishes, Li Yunlong put on his chopsticks.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Yunlong smiled.
"Poverty has always been a so-and-so doctrine!"
Arriving at the living room, Li Yunlong led everyone directly to a small round dining table and sat down.
I must have said something wrong. They should all have eaten, right?
As soon as I heard those words, I immediately realized the value contained in them.
"No... we don't make snowmen, we play snowball fights." Gao Pengcheng disagreed.
"Old Li, I never thought he would be here today." Meng Jian laughed and teased.
"Master Duo, Commander Gao Hongming, Commander Kong Jie, Commander Ding Wei and Political Commissar Zhao of the Fourth Route Army are not here yet."
"It's bad, we met each other on the first day, so you still know them.
These two little guys, one is three years old and the other is two years old, they are the cutest ages.
"Ha ha……"
"Well... you can't..."
Li Yunlong smiled: "What Commander Ding said is right. Although the Fourth Route Army is a human team.
"Everyone, they have been hungry all night. Drinking on an empty stomach is a taboo. Drink porridge first to cushion your stomach before drinking. That will be bad for your stomach."
Kong Jie stopped what he was doing and shook his head.
Then the housekeeper came over with two maids and gave everyone a bowl of white porridge.
"Hahaha... Lao Li still feels uncomfortable."
Meng Jianying asked curiously: "By the way, you are still not curious. Logically speaking, with the strength of their 129th Division, it should be so difficult to deal with a seventh-rate Japanese division. Why did they fight for just one day?
Not such a small casualty?”
And when Li Yunlong finished speaking, a maid with a face flushed from the cold ran up to me and said crisply.
"Hey... I thought those guys came quite slowly."
Li Yunlong also raised his glass. Everyone raised their glasses when they saw the master. Naturally, they sat down and drank before raising their glasses.
Come...you're welcome, let's eat!"
Everyone looked at the table full of sumptuous food and wine that had been prepared and was a little confused.
"Hahaha……"
You were ordered to retreat to Harada County to rest and recuperate. Just because Old Li said that he wanted to come over to see him, you guys came together to give him a bad meal, that rich man."
"Brother, I really let him say that. You have been traveling all night and your stomachs are already hungry. Brother, he is so considerate!
Everyone was indeed hungry, and they were polite before hearing this. They drank the porridge behind them slowly, then opened their cheeks and started eating.
"How smooth it was."
Hearing Li Yunlong's question, everyone looked at each other and sighed.
When I came to the living room in the inner courtyard, I saw the maid serving tea to Meng Jianying and seven others. I laughed: "Hey...Brother Yunlong, Brother Meng Jian, Commander Kong, Political Commissar Zhao, and Political Commissar Wang welcome them."
Come here, they are rare visitors."
"Snowball fight."
"Hahaha..." Gao Hongming's words made Kong Jie and Meng Jian both laugh.
Meng Jianying handed the two big guys to the old lady who was standing by to serve them, grabbed the hat under the table and walked out slowly.
Kong Jie looked around and said with emotion: "You have to be the leader of the low group. If you don't know how to live, you will not know how to enjoy life compared to you country bumpkins."
Zhao Gang, who was talking on the side, also lit up when he heard this. As a political cadre, my sensitivity to certain aspects is much weaker than that of Gao Hongming, the eight people in charge of the military.
The two of them started to quarrel very quickly, and while they were arguing, they each made Li Yunlong act coquettishly.
The force was so weak that even Gao Hongming bared his teeth.
After saying that, I took a small step, opened my arms and hugged all eight people.
"Make a snowman."
You must know that Gao Hongming has always been a miserly character, and he always beats people first and then talks about them. What stands out is that he does not rely on his fists to speak, and he never surrenders even if he thinks about it.
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Yesterday I heard that they were coming this morning. You had already ordered the butler to prepare some wine and food, and you were just waiting to have a few drinks before they arrived.
Before saying hello, Gao Hongming couldn't help rubbing his shoulders and complained: "Brother, he could have changed his etiquette to a more refined manner last time we met. Brother, it's him who's really hurting your old arms and legs.
"
On weekdays, Gao Hongming was busy fighting, but he was finally free at home these days, so he played with the two little guys every day, which also made the two little guys extremely happy.
I once thought that Ding Wei simply accepted the move: "Forget it, you are the one who went there. You tried it even though you knew it would hurt. Are you a fool?"
And you are indeed suffering more now, but that does not mean that they will always be like that before. You firmly believe that they will become better, because poverty is a certainism."
"On the day after tomorrow, you encountered the Japanese 41st Division, and the 385th Brigade and your brigade teamed up to snipe the Japanese for a whole day and night.
The Japanese offensive is fierce and your brigade's casualties are very small. The division commander must order you to advance temporarily and let the New 1st Brigade and the Guard Brigade take over.
After saying that, I picked up the wine glass behind my face and drank it all in one gulp, then showed the empty glass to the young man.
Gao Xiaolian asked in a sweet voice: "Dad, can we play building a snowman today?"
Faced with the joke of his old comrade, Gao Hongming rolled his eyes and said, "Kong Qi is stupid, don't be convinced, if he comes and gives it a try."
Are today's wealthy families so arrogant that they finish cooking as soon as the guests leave the house?
