It was only early summer, and the nights were especially cool. Although the new home we moved to had few rooms, each house was quite large. Xue Xiang’s new room was naturally much larger, and there was a pond behind the house, so the sliding windows
Looking at the moon, blowing the cool breeze, it’s really a night
The scenery is pleasant and very helpful for sleeping. But with such excellent sleeping conditions, it is almost early in the morning, and the little guy on the pillow is already sleeping soundly and soundly. Even the noisy little white tiger on the bedside has already
He went to bed early for a long time, but Xue Xiang found it difficult to fall asleep.
It turned out that Xue Xiang's heart had never calmed down since he hung up the phone on Xue Anyuan. After settling down Chen Dao and the others, and asking the three little ones to wash themselves, he lay down on the bed early and began to reminisce, meditate, and more importantly, reflect. He lay down.
For a long time, he kept thinking about Xue Anyuan's short words: "The third child always behaves independently."
The peaks are not good, but sticking to the old rules will be even more harmful. All those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times are all those who have great perseverance, great wisdom, and are higher than others. I know that you intend to restrain your edge, but I don’t know that you restrain your edge.
At that time, I was also tightly trapped and blocked by these layers of rules, gradually smoothing the edges and corners, and lost everyone..."
Xue Anyuan rarely spoke the truth. Xue Xiangfei was not like other children who were tired of hearing their parents talk nonsense. On the contrary, he felt like he had received a wake-up call and an enlightenment. He began to reflect on his actions after returning to Beijing for a period of time. The more he reflected, the more surprised he became. Uncle said
That's right, I am paying more and more attention to the rules, and I am less and less afraid to take action. When I do anything, I think about how not to make mistakes, rather than how to achieve the effect.
The more Xue Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that he had been too deeply affected by Xu Ziqian and Comrade Zhenhua's instructions to "keep a low profile". It was so profound that he had misinterpreted it, and he was afraid of standing out in anything he did. He had almost taken these two words as a guideline for his conduct.
Gradually, the matter becomes irrelevant, and people tend to just go around doing things without talking about it.
The more Xue Xiang thought about it, the more he gained. His thoughts gradually followed Xue Anyuan's words, and he thought of the great men of the past, and then compared their actions one by one. He broke out in a cold sweat. Chairman's behavior
, always high
He has a far-sighted vision and sets high standards; while the old leader has experienced ups and downs several times, he still has a firm will and acts above others. One has achieved greatness, and the other is destined to be a great man. These two great men all have great personalities and characters. They behave and deal with things.
All have strong personal colors.
Xue Xiang thought, thought, and kept turning over. Feeling more and more bored, he raised his hand to take the cigarette case from the bedside, and just lit a cigarette. Then he thought of the little guy sleeping soundly next to him, and put out the cigarette butt again.
Tossing and turning, Xue Xiang simply got up, walked to the window, and looked out into the distance. He saw the bright moon in the sky, the water in the pool in the distance was waveless, and the twin peaks of Yutang Mountain protruded, covering the chaotic jade plate of Tianshan Mountain.
Between the two peaks, there is a sense that the mountains are high and the moon is small.
No matter how good the scenery is, looking at it for a long time will inevitably make you bored.
The nearby pond was even more covered with branches. A few meters away from the pond, a poplar as thick as two people could hug each other was bent down by the strong wind. The strong wind
Entering the window, Xue Xiang was afraid of blowing the little guy. He was about to raise his hand to close the window and raise the ground. His eyes were fixed around the poplar tree. It turned out that there was a wall behind the poplar tree, sandwiched between the wall and the poplar tree.
In the open space, wormwood about half a foot high grew. Because Xue Xiang was very fond of the greenery, he did not eradicate it when he moved in. To this day, the greenery has grown.
At that time, the wind blew the grass, and countless flowers and plants were blown off around the sturdy poplar. Only the slippery wormwood was hiding behind the poplar, swaying gently in the wind, safe and sound...
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xue Xiang suddenly realized that if he wants to gather momentum, he must first be able to resist it. Just like this poplar tree, it is precisely because it can withstand the wind and rain that it can gather so many mugworts around it.
. On the other hand, looking back at myself, I try to form my own group, but I am afraid to stand out in everything. Even on my uncle’s birthday, he still looks forward and backward, and is afraid of the left and the right. How does such behavior make those who want to take refuge feel?
It's exactly this: you must be bold when things come to a head, and there is no way back before you.
With a clear thought, Xue Xiang's heart disappeared. He closed the window and fell back on the bed, where he fell asleep in a moment.
…………………….
On May 9, 1979, the Xue family's new house was decorated with lights and colorful gongs and drums. Because whips and whips were not allowed to be fired at this time, from five o'clock in the morning, the sound of firecrackers disappeared outside the Xue family's new house.
I stopped because today is Xue Anyuan's sixtieth birthday.
It is said that on May 4th, after Xue Anyuan hung up the phone with Xue Xiang, he rushed back from Lingnan Province without stopping. On the evening of May 5th, he arrived at his home in the capital. From then on, Xue Anyuan was determined to do something big.
After that, Xue Xiang tried his best to move.
With Xue Laosan's current ability, if he really wanted to seriously engage in something, the momentum would be astonishing. No, the news that "the third brother's family is going to hold a happy event" had just been released. On the morning of May 6th, people from all walks of life gathered.
They all gathered together. It took two whole days.
After a hard night, by the early morning of the 9th, the Xue family's new house had a completely new look. A half-mile-long mat awning was set up outside the door. Hundreds of tables were set out in sequence. Three of the music and percussion troupes were invited. Wula, wow,
Ulawa, playing and playing.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and the hundreds of large mahogany Eight Immortals tables in the mat tents on both sides of the door were already half full. The open space of several hundred square meters in front of the door was even more crowded with large and small military jeeps, and five or six people were blown up.
Hours of firecrackers and confetti were swept into one place and piled up into a hill.
The lively sounds outside the door never stopped, and the laughter and joy inside the door never stopped for a moment.
In the lobby, Xue Anyuan had just finished dealing with the commander of the 39th Army, and then called the confidential secretary Qi Rusheng to find Xue Xiang, who was already dizzy with work.
As soon as Xue Xiang arrived at the main room, he was pulled into the room by Xue Anyuan, who was dressed in military uniform. "Lao San, what's going on with you kid? I asked you to take care of it, but I didn't ask you to take care of it desperately. Why did I just listen to Xiao Wan for a while?
Most of the hundreds of tables outside are already occupied. I remember that the people from the old Army A haven't come yet, right? If they come too, will you have to borrow a table? "
In fact, Xue Anyuan's decision to organize the birthday was purely for Xue Xiang's consideration. In just two years, after several turmoils, Xue Anyuan has seen that his nephew has high aspirations. If Xue Xiang is just ambitious and has little talent, Xue Anyuan may not be able to
Accompany him in all the troubles. But Xue Xiang is like a gift from heaven with wisdom and unparalleled luck.
Despite several shocking storms, he still survived safely and gained every step of the way. In addition, Xue Anyuan's extraordinary achievements in this southern expedition were all thanks to Xue Xiang's help. With all these factors, Xue Anyuan had already done something to Xue Xiang.
The Xue family, who are blessed, lucky and capable, have great expectations for Xue Xiang's future career.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Xue Anyuan eliminated the interference and made up his mind to replace Xue Xiangzhang.
But Xue Anyuan didn't expect that he would go too far. Just now, he had been accepting congratulations from guests in the central hall. From the moment he opened the door, there were no one coming to celebrate his birthday. There were so many people.
Relatives and friends with whom we have friendships are also
That's all, but there are also many guests who can't be beaten by eight poles, especially the military officials in Beijing. Almost all of them have their children hand over congratulatory notes, and some even come in person. Such a sensation naturally makes people
Xue Anyuan had doubts.
At this moment, when Xue Anyuan mentioned it, Xue Xiang also felt that something was wrong. There were more and more visitors. If this trend continued, he might really have to borrow a table. After a brief discussion, the uncle and nephew made a decision. This
In the compartment, Xue Xiang went out to let Lei Xiaotian, Zhu Shijun and Hao Yunlai
The group went to greet his stubborn brothers and went to have dinner with Lao Mo and Xin Qiao. Because Xue Xiang was outspoken and told the secret, no one picked on him. Moreover, the guests were actually a group of high-ranking officials.
The stubborn leader didn't feel comfortable staying here, so he followed Lei Xiaotian and Zhu Shijun.
In that compartment, Xue Anyuan went back to his room and rang the phone, stopping a group of old subordinates from the A Army who had not yet arrived. Just like that, with a two-pronged approach from both sides, they suppressed the momentum of the flowers blooming and the fire cooking the oil.
At ten o'clock at eleven o'clock, Lao Xia, the master chef of Dong Laishun who had been invited at a high price, came to report that the banquet was ready and asked when the banquet would be held.
Send it out.
At this moment, Xue Xiang still had a smile on his face, dealing with several congratulatory guests from time to time, but his eyes were fixed on the door, almost bleeding.
"Is it true that I can't wait? Could it be that I don't like the ostentation here?" Xue Xiang stood in the corridor, his heart already boiling.
"A visitor has arrived!" came the melodious voice of Mr. Zhike who had been invited outside the door. Xue Xiang's spirit was shaken, and he took a few steps to greet the door. When he saw the visitor, the light in his eyes immediately dimmed a lot. It was obvious that he was coming.
No one is welcome!
"Brother Xue, congratulations!"
"Third brother, congratulations!"
The person who came was none other than Jiang Chaotian who spoke first, and Shi Jianfei who greeted the latter. Xue Xiang did not expect that these two guys who could not fight with each other would come hand in hand. After all, he had no one in the two families.
Joining the army, Jiang Geyang, Shi Guozhong, or even Shi Lao have almost no contact with Xue Anyuan. As for Xue Xianghe, although they have a past, both of them have bad contacts.
Xue Xiang was just slightly startled and didn't answer immediately. Jiang Chaotian pointed out the reason: "What's the matter? Looking at Brother Xue's expression, I don't welcome him very much! But it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. Today I am a
, Jianfei and I are here to congratulate General Xue on his birthday, and it has nothing to do with you..."
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "Chief Jiang and his second brother Shi are here. There is no reason to not welcome them. Could it be that you, Section Chief Jiang, have a grudge because you invited me to a few meals and want to eat them back? Well, don't complain either.
Come on, today, you can open your belly, you can even eat and take it..."
In terms of talking skills and thick skin, Jiang Chaotian thought that he would never be able to defeat this guy, so he joked a few times and said that he was going to wish General Xue his birthday.
They came to the middle hall. They handed the gifts they carried to Mr. Zhike in the middle hall, bowed and said a few words of congratulations to Xue Anyuan. Xue Anyuan thanked him and was led to the garden on the left side of the courtyard by Xue Anyuan. (Unfinished)
