"What's the matter, I think you don't seem to want me to come back?" Xue asked the question, and Xue Anyuan was stiff.
Xue Xiang chuckled a few times and said with a smile: "Look where you are going, how could I not welcome you? Even if I don't welcome you, Xiaowan and the others will welcome you, especially Xiaoshi, who has long said that uncle
If he comes back, I'm going to pull his beard. I see that you're always so unkempt, so you should hurry up and shave it off."
As soon as he mentioned the Third Primary School, Xue Anyuan's old face immediately became uncomfortable, and his face showed warmth. "Okay, I won't talk in circles with you anymore. I am returning to Beijing this time to report on my duties. The Central Military Commission has ordered me to take over as the commander of the Lingnan Military Region."
In the end, Xue Anyuan's voice was raised, full of pride. It was obvious that this promotion made this battlefield veteran feel a little overwhelmed.
After Xue Anyuan finished speaking, Xue Xiang had a handsome face but did not show any surprise. He had obviously been mentally prepared.
But he said that Xue Xiang was not really surprised, but rather a little disappointed. In fact, Xue Anyuan returned home at this time. He had been suspicious before, but when he entered the door and saw Xue Anyuan lying comfortably on the rocking chair, he knew the answer in his heart - return to Beijing.
Here comes the duty report. Since it is a duty report, there are only two possibilities. One is to report and summarize the Southern Campaign, and the second is to report and summarize the Southern Campaign and arrange new duties.
If it is the second situation and a new position is arranged, then this position is worth looking forward to. After all, Xue Anyuan has made outstanding achievements this time and was replaced to make room for others. The senior management will naturally have to compensate him, and the promotion is almost
Definitely, but where to transfer him is worth considering.
The reason why Xue Xiang was disappointed was because Xue Anyuan's new position did not meet his expectations. He originally thought that Xue Anyuan would be directly promoted to the chief officer of the four major departments of the Military Commission based on his first contribution to the southern expedition. In two years, he would be dismissed without any hesitation.
Unexpectedly, the sign for committee member J was only half a square across.
"Why, are you still not satisfied?" Xue Xiang remained silent. Xue Anyuan roughly knew what he was thinking, so he asked.
Xue Xiang did not answer but asked: "Who picked up your deputy commander?"
Xue Anyuan waved his hand: "This is not your thing to worry about. Okay, there is nothing to regret. How can one person take all the good things? I am content in this life. I am old and old, and I have fought a national war.
Commanding tens of thousands of people, compared with those old guys lying at home, it’s time to secretly recite Amitabha.”
After Xue Anyuan's words, Xue Xiang immediately felt relieved. Thinking about it, he was a bit petty. Reaching the sky in one step may not be a good thing. To build a tower in the sky, laying a solid foundation is the most important thing.
The old man and the young man, uncle and nephew, had not seen each other for a long time, and the topic of military affairs was a favorite of the two. Once they started chatting, they couldn't stop the car. It was not until the sun set in the west and the dusk gradually darkened that Xue Xiang realized that it was late.
It's time to prepare dinner
It was time. Today, Xue Anyuan arrived home for the first time, so Xue Xiang naturally wanted to show off and prepare the table. Fortunately, the family was a glutton, so all kinds of ingredients were ready. It was only six o'clock, and the last plate of braised pork ribs was freshly cooked.
There is a small hollow round wooden table, with an iron pot set up in the hollow, and a coal stove under the pot. The fire is strong, and the little pheasant and mushrooms in the pot are simmering. Six dishes and one soup are placed around the iron pot.
, a combination of meat and vegetables, bright color, obviously a sumptuous dinner is ready.
Because the new home is really not close to the school where the third primary school is located. Even by car, it takes nearly forty minutes. Therefore, even though it is more than half an hour after the school dismissal time, the third primary school has not yet arrived home. The third primary school has not returned.
Naturally, dinner has to be postponed.
Xue Xiang raised his hand to look at the time, guessing that it would be some time before the third child returned home. Looking at the aroma of stew in the pot, he bent down and closed the air door. Little did he know that as soon as he closed the air door, there would be something outside the kitchen.
Came the familiar cheers
, looking through the window, I saw the little guy flying towards Xue Anyuan, Xue Anyuan also hurriedly rushed towards the little guy, and a white shadow also quickly chased towards the little guy, and soon, three shadows appeared
Collided together.
As a result, the little guy got on Xue Anyuan's shoulder, and the little white tiger was taken into the little guy's arms!
The family sat down in the kitchen, and Xue Xiang took out some white wine and drinks, and filled the glasses one by one on the table. The three children saw that Xue Xiang looked serious, and even the most noisy little guy was sitting in an orderly manner, as if he was waiting.
Xue Anyuan spoke, clinker, Xue Anyuan filled three small bowls with vegetables one by one, and greeted the three little ones to eat quickly, but he did not have the image of a parent returning home after a long absence.
The family here was having a lively meal when the phone in the main room rang. Xue Xiang stood up and turned back to the main room. When he answered the call, it was the sound of Guan Chunlei's firecrackers. Before even saying a few words, Guan Dapao pointed out the theme and said
He asked Xue Anyuan to go to Meiyuan. At the end, he added that the wheat in Meiyuan was about to turn yellow and asked Xue Xiang not to miss the farming season and to remember to bring his own sickle. This frightened Xue Xiang into putting down the phone without even saying hello.
When the old leader was summoned, he naturally couldn't finish the reunion dinner. After Xue Anyuan left, San ate a few chopsticks, then threw the bowl and went out of the kitchen. Xiaowan went back to his room to review his homework, and Xiaoyi practiced football dribbling in the courtyard.
, the little guy hugged the little white tiger and went to the main room to watch TV.
Xue Xiang ate alone by the stove for a while. However, there were so many dishes prepared that he couldn't eat them all by himself, so he mixed the leftovers into the pot and made a big stew. He will buy the steamed buns tomorrow.
, just a good match.
I cleaned up the kitchen, poured two bottles of boiling water, put new coal in the coal stove, and then went back to the hall. In the hall, I watched TV with the little guy for a while, looked at my watch and it was almost nine o'clock, and then fetched some water.
He poured boiling water into the basin and asked the three little ones to wash it.
After the three children finished washing and returned to the room, Xue Xiang poured out the waste water and smoked alone in the courtyard. Before finishing a cigarette, there was a noise at the door. When he looked up, he saw that it was his uncle, and there were two more unknown people behind him.
The guard soldier, and the Chinese tunic suit who helped me exchange Hong Kong dollars last time in Lingnan.
The courtyard is vast, so the incandescent lamp has a large wattage and is very bright. Under the bright lights, Xue Anyuan's face is flushed and his steps are sloppy, which is obviously because he drank too much. However, Xue Xiang remembers that Xue Anyuan didn't even take a sip at home.
To drink wine, it turned out that I had another trip to Meiyuan.
After thinking about this, Xue Xiang took a few steps forward and stepped forward to help Xue Anyuan: "Uncle, how much did you drink? I remember that you were also a pound smaller. Could it be that the old chief is having a bar fight with you?"
"You boy, you know how old you are. How old is the old leader? You can still fight with me for drinks? Go and get some tea soup, just drink a few cups."
, not intoxicated.
Xue Xiang hurried back to the hall, and soon he brought out a purple sand pot with a long mouth and handed it to Xue Anyuan. The Pu'er tea brewed in the pot was the holy product. Xue Anyuan poured a few sips into the teapot and smoked another cigarette.
, his energy recovered a lot, he reached out and patted away the two soldiers who were supporting him on both sides, and said to Zhongshan Suit: "Rusheng, please take Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma to rest, and don't fight guerrillas with me like I did in the afternoon."
It turned out that after Xue Anyuan arrived home in the afternoon, he arranged for the three accompanying guards and confidential personnel to rest in the guest house. Unexpectedly, these three people did not go, but hid around the house. Xue Anyuan went out to Meiyuan, and the three people also started
They got into the car and drove away until Xue Anyuan came out of Meiyuan. Seeing that the leader seemed to have drunk too much, the three of them showed up to meet him. Therefore, Xue Anyuan said he was fighting guerrillas.
The man in Chinese tunic said: "Chief, let me stay. You need people by your side. Let Xiao Wang and Xiao Ma rest."
As soon as the Maoist suit finished speaking, the two soldiers quit and wanted to stay. They said that the leader did not have to worry about accommodation, they could sleep in trees and houses, and they could also protect the leader. Xue Anyuan's guards were all carefully selected by Gu Changdao.
They are the elite among the elite of the special operations brigade, so trivial matters such as rest are naturally not in their eyes.
Unexpectedly, the refusal of the three people made Xue Anyuan angry. "Go, go, your fucking courage is getting raw? Execute the order!"
Snap!
The three of them stood at attention and went out. As for whether they went back to the guest house to sleep or continued to hide in the surroundings, there was no way of knowing.
When Xue Anyuan reprimanded the three of them, Xue Xiang didn't interrupt. It wasn't that he didn't want the three of them to stay. It was because there really was no room in the house. To say that this big house was great, it was huge and unique.
I was very stingy about the layout of the rooms, so I created four rooms in the main hall. Of course, this layout is perfect for people like Xue Xiang who attach great importance to family affection and family warmth, but when guests come from far away
, it seemed cramped.
After the three people in Chinese tunic suits left, the uncle and nephew started walking around in the courtyard again.
That day coincided with the half-month of the moon. At that time, the bright moon in the sky was like a wheel, full and full, shining brightly for thousands of miles.
When the lights were turned off, the clear light filled the courtyard. Under the dim moonlight, the garden was full of brilliant and blazing flowers and grasses during the day. In an instant, they became charming, cool and graceful.
The moon is quiet and the night is quiet.
Xue Anyuan was in front, followed by Xue Xiang, walking step by step in the courtyard. After an unknown amount of time, Xue Anyuan finally broke the silence: "Third brother, who do you think will go up?"
Xue Anyuan's careless words meant that Xue Xiang did know where he was pointing. In fact, when Xue Anyuan returned home drunk, he did not enter the main room but wandered around the courtyard. Xue Xiang knew that something had happened in Meiyuan.
Therefore, when he followed Xue Anyuan's footsteps, he kept thinking and came up with many possibilities.
At this moment, Xue Anyuan's question did not escape the scope of his thoughts, so he immediately picked it up: "It doesn't matter who goes up. What matters is that the country is stable, the war is victorious, and the direction of development is determined. Of course,
The most important thing is that the old leader is still in good health."
"Hey, you kid, you really have a clever mind. However, this sentence is really good. Stability is good. As long as it is stable, how can the development of the Republic fail with just hard-working and simple people like us?
To someone else?”
Seeing Xue Anyuan's rare expression of emotion, Xue Xiang suddenly said in a confused voice: "Did you meet Chief Zhenhua at the dinner table?"
After collecting the land, Xue Anyuan stopped smiling and rewarded Xue Xiang with a big chestnut with a bang. (To be continued)!~!
