"Brother Liu, eat it while it's hot, and then go upstairs and have a good sleep."
Tie Jun patted Liu Shengli gently, and Liu Shengli raised his head. His face was not red, he was not panting, and he was not drunk.
"You're not drunk?"
"This bit of wine? You underestimate your brother!"
Liu Shengli curled his lips, Tie Jun was unhappy and felt like he was being deceived.
I sat down and ate the mutton steamed buns. The steamed buns I made by myself were really delicious, not greasy or tangy. The steamed buns completely absorbed the soup and tasted juicy.
"How is it? Is it delicious? When you two girls stop squealing, I will take you to eat at Lao Sun's house, the best bowl in the world. I guarantee that you will give me a thumbs up after eating it."
While eating steamed buns, Liu Shengli asked about Tie Jun's situation intentionally or unintentionally. Tie Jun didn't say much, only that he had just graduated and was now doing some international trade.
Sensing that Tie Jun was unwilling to say more, Liu Shengli stopped asking any more questions and ate his buns silently with his head down.
A big bowl of mutton steamed buns was served, and Tie Jun patted his belly. He was full of wine and food, and was very happy.
The two of them rushed to pay the bill and tore it apart for a long time. Tie Jun was defeated and accidentally discovered that Liu Shengli's white socks were patched.
Tie Jun couldn't help but pay attention, and found that Liu Shengli's trouser legs and cuffs were a little shiny. It was obvious that he had just changed his clothes in 1987, and he would not dress like this grandma in a few years.
Tiejun was confused. A lieutenant colonel was issued at least summer and winter uniforms a year. How could he be so frugal?
"What's wrong, bro?"
After paying the money, Liu Shengli turned around, saw Tie Jun's thoughtful expression, and asked.
"Nothing, Brother Liu, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going to see the chief. What about you? Go upstairs to sleep?"
"To tell you the truth, yesterday I bought two portions of nutritional supplements and fruits, and Er Niu fell out with you at the stall. I wanted to go see the chief, but I didn't go."
"Hey, if the army doesn't practice this, I'll take you there. There's no need to spend that money. The leader will have to train me."
"Train after training, etiquette must be maintained. After all, we are visiting patients. Brother Liu, please wait for me at the entrance of the hospital for a while. I will come back as soon as I go."
Before Liu Shengli could object, Tie Jun ran away.
After entering the service club, Tie Jun came out with a bunch of Long Mu Bone Strengthening Granules, lid in lid, as long as it was calcium supplement, and some flowers and fruits.
"I'll go, if you treat me like this, it would be crazy if I didn't get punished. It's mainly because it's so wasteful. It's all over if I just take yesterday's share."
Liu Shengli stood at the door of the hospital. When he saw Tie Jun coming out, he quickly ran over to take the fruit, looking unhappy.
"Brother Liu, are you usually very frugal?"
"It's... not bad!"
"Who else is at home?"
"My parents are still alive, my two brothers are farmers, and I have a younger sister who works as a waitress in our guest house. We all have income, and our lives are pretty good.
how?
Do you think you are a big goth?"
"No, I just saw what you were putting in your wallet and handkerchief just now, and I thought it looked like my grandma and my mother. They both know it well, so..."
Liu Shengli laughed loudly, "That's right! I left home early, and the old lady told me that when traveling far away, I should either sew my pants or wrap them in a handkerchief for safety."
Tie Jun couldn't ask anything, so he stopped asking. He slowly got to know her and got to know her better. It was definitely not what he said.
The chief was in the high-level ward on the fourth floor of the inpatient department. There was a soldier at the door wearing white gloves. When he saw Liu Shengli, he said "pop" and gave a military salute.
Through the door, someone could be heard talking loudly inside. Liu Shengli returned the greeting, pointed inside, and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Swearing!"
"Oh? Who are you scolding?"
"Lao Hu from the Beijing Military Region wants to send his daughter-in-law to our place!"
The roaring inside stopped, and then someone shouted: "Da Liu? Come in!"
"It's okay, you didn't let me get in!"
Liu Shengli whispered something, and the soldier smiled, stretched out his hand to open the door, and Liu Shengli led Tie Jun in.
"Chief, this is the Iron Army I was talking about last night."
"Hello, Chief!"
Tie Jun looked at the leader on the hospital bed and saluted him with a military salute.
The leader is very dark, with pits all over his face, and his eyes are quite big and scary. At first glance, he looks like a big firecracker.
Tie Jun thought to himself, the big girl is really nothing, how can she not be worthy of the second girl? Not to mention her age, she is not worthy of this honor.
"You're not a soldier. You're just giving me a military salute. Don't call me chief. My name is Lei Tianxiao. It's more like you calling me Uncle Lei."
"Hello Uncle Lei, I wish you a speedy recovery!"
Tie Jun was a little embarrassed when he saw flowers in two vases, a pile of nutrients on the ground, and four unopened fruit baskets.
"Thank you. I accepted the flowers and returned the rest to the service agency."
"You can retreat even if you want. Why should I retreat? You look down on me!"
Tie Jun got the order, put on the flowers first, and then said it politely.
Tie Jun guessed that this leader should have the same virtue as Lao Tie, so he had to fight with you, otherwise he would always deal with you.
"Hey, I have a bit of a temper, hahaha, uncle likes it, okay, leave it there, and give uncle an apple you bought."
Tie Jun took out a big apple and saw a fruit plate and a fruit knife on the bedside table. He picked up the knife and started peeling it.
"Peel off the skin and wash it off."
"Hey, Uncle Lei, are you from Dalian?"
Tie Jun smiled and stood up to wash the apples while talking.
"Huh? Do I have an accent? My Mandarin is quite standard!"
"Standard, I told you not to be angry!"
Tie Jun laughed, Liu Shengli also laughed, and the leader frowned and nodded.
"Uncle Lei, as soon as you open your mouth, it smells like oysters. Just the word "defeat" shows the truth. Plus, with your complexion, you must have been blown by the seaside."
"Hehehe, it's true. I went to sea with my father when I was 8 years old, and my skin has never been white since I was a child."
It can be seen that the chief likes Tie Jun very much. After washing the apple, the chief took it and gnawed it.
After chatting for a while, Tie Jun stood up and left knowingly, and the leader waved his hand.
"Da Liu, send Xiaotie for me."
Liu sent Tie Jun out of the ward. Tie Jun turned around and said, "Go back, Brother Liu!"
"The chief made an appointment with someone and asked me to avoid him!"
Liu Shengli glanced at his watch, and Tie Jun was stunned again. The cover of the old Dongfeng watch was worn out.
"Brother Liu, do you consider me your brother?"
When they reached the corner of the stairs, Tie Jun pulled Liu Shengli against the wall.
"certainly!"
"Okay, tell me, why are you living so shabbily?"
Tie Jun pointed to Liu Shengli's shiny sleeves, leaned over and pulled up his trouser legs, revealing his patched socks.
Liu Shengli smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you know why I told you about the poor people in Gansu?"
"have no idea!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you are a very kind person."
"It's hard to talk about it, but he can barely be considered a good person."
"If possible, help our children in Gansu."
Tie Jun was startled. Liu Shengli took out a photo from his bag and handed it to Tie Jun. Tie Jun hesitated and took it.
It is a black and white photo. A dozen children, with an average age of no more than four years old, stand in two rows, very shy, and several of them are crying.
"The children of the martyrs of the Third Red Company are now in primary school. I am very incompetent. I have tried my best to keep them in school."
"Are you testing me?"
"No, no need to test, I'm begging you."
"Okay, let's talk about these kids."
"You agreed?"
"Where are they?"
"Twelve children, five in Linxia Prefecture, two in Jingyuan in Dingxi Prefecture, one in Lintao, three in Wushan County in Tianshui City, and one in Qingshui County."
Tie Jun was a little confused and wanted to take a look, but they were so scattered.
"This pair of shoes is enough to feed a baby for a year, and this suit is enough to feed 12 babies for a year."
Tie Jun lowered his head and looked at the new suit and new leather shoes, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"Have you already targeted me?"
"No, it's because we are destined. Besides, not everyone can support my children. I don't want others to make an issue of it."
"Then I have to thank you."
"I just want to find a long-term support for my children. I was too reckless. I'm sorry. I apologize to you!"
Liu Shengli was about to bow, but Tie Jun panicked and supported him, blushing and saying: "Brother Liu, you can't do this. I'm going to hurt my little brother. I'll take care of these children."
