Zhang Xingming returned to the club in a crisp new military uniform, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and he stayed there for almost a whole day today, but the harvest was big, and the harvest was big enough for both sides.

For Zhang Xingming, a soul in his forties has long passed the age of cynicism, he can be regarded as having lived once, he has experienced it, he knows what to do and what not to do, and he knows how he should live.

In this life, people live in dreams in their teens, and live in reality at the age of forty. Patriotism at the age of 20 is in the mouth, and love in the heart at the age of 40.

Live a new life, let yourself, your family, and the people you love and those you love live a beautiful, free, happy and happy life, realize your dreams in the previous life, and then do what you can for your motherland, even if it is not in vain.

The courtyard was quiet, and the faint sound of the piano came from across the front courtyard, and Zhang Xingming asked the security guard who opened the door: "Are they all in the front yard?"

The security guard was looking at the rank of general on Zhang Xingming's shoulder in a daze, and only reacted when he heard the question, nodding in a panic, Zhang Xingming said with a smug smile: "How is it? ”

The security guard rolled his eyes and closed the door.

Today, because of the award, Li Chun and the four of them are also wearing military uniforms, Li Chun is now a rising tide and is a colonel adjutant, Tang Xin is a colonel chief of guard, Zhang Qisheng and Wang Honghua are lieutenant colonel security officers, and a four-person combat team has been added.

Passing through the Moon Gate, the piano became louder, accompanied by singing and applause.

Turning the corner, I saw that everyone was moving stools and sitting in the courtyard patio, the windows of the houses on three sides were open, and there were people playing inside.

Liu Yan'er reacted the fastest, Zhang Xingming entered her eyes as soon as she showed her head, stood up and snapped: "Good chief." Because Liu Yan'er was wearing a hat, she didn't see people's faces clearly, but as a soldier, she was too sensitive to epaulettes, and her behavior was completely subconscious.

The other security guards also stood up and saluted, and the piano sounded for a moment before stopping.

When everyone saw that it was Zhang Xingming, Liu Yan'er was surprised, and Yang Caiyi, a girl, was excited, the second child was very ordinary, and looked Zhang Xingming up and down a few times: "It's okay, it's still the same thing in a military uniform." ”

The girl ran over and pulled Zhang Xingming to look around, and reached out to touch the epaulette, and asked, "Is this pure gold?" and saw Li Chun's epaulettes again: "Hey, why does Brother Li have one more star than Erming? Oh, Erming has a leaf that you don't have." "Zhang Xingming was injured, the little girl didn't know the military rank at all, this was dancing for the blind to see, and it was white.

Then the little girl reacted, and looked at Li Chun's epaulettes again: "It seems that Uncle Mao is also like this, wow, Brother Li, are you a good official? Uncle Mao is the political commissar." ”

The little two pulled Liu Yan'er, who was standing straight, on the side: "What are you doing?"

Liu Yan'er pursed her lips, you and I are willing, your man didn't squeak, and picked Zhang Xingming with his eyes.

The little second turned his head to look at Zhang Xingming: "You are here to let Sister Liu Yan'er sit down." ”

Zhang Xingming was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't let them stand, okay, there are no outsiders who don't have to pretend in the future, and I'm not a real general." ”

Liu Yan'er: "Report, there is no truth or falsehood in the general, please be cautious when General Zhang speaks." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Okay, okay, you're amazing." Let's go on, this is in, do a show?"

The second child said, "Let's go to class, please come back to Master Zhang and Master Liu." Pointing to the two old men standing at the window of the house looking this way, Zhang Xingming nodded at them and smiled, and said, "Okay, you continue, I'll go back to the backyard for a while." Make some good tea for the two masters, take some snacks and fruits. Stay for dinner together in the evening. ”

A group of people returned to the backyard, Li Chun was happy, he knew Zhang Xingming too well, this is the child's nature, he wanted to be embarrassed in front of the little two and the girl, but one of the two didn't care, and the other didn't know the rank.

Zhang Xingming glared at Li Chun: "Have a fart." He stumbled into his room. The three main houses in the north are all his, the little two and Ya Dan'er live in the ear room, and Liu Yan'er and a few of them live in the wing room. Other personnel live in the matching house, and the priority of living in the old house must be paid attention to.

I didn't want to read the documents, so I had nothing to do after turning around, so I just let Tang Xin and the others move freely, Zhang Xingming took Li Chun out of the yard and walked back, came to the back garden, and prepared to get a boat to float on the lake for a while.

I walked out of the cover room and crossed the Western Gate, and I didn't walk a few steps before I heard a surprise cry: "Erming?"

Zhang Xingming turned his head to look over, it was Wang Xiaolong, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and he was followed by the little fat man Zhu Hongwei, who was now a big fat man. Zhang Xingming greeted him with a smile: "It's the two of you, coming to the capital to do business?" shook hands with the two people.

Wang Xiaolong said, "Well, come and do something, I made an appointment to eat here." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Why don't you go to the front in the backyard? ”

Zhu Hongwei said: "Brother Long's front was requested by the other party to be in the backyard, saying that the back was lively and you could see the scene, so it was set on the back cover upstairs." He pointed up. Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, sit with me for a while, and I'll listen to your current situation." ”

What can Wang Xiaolong and Zhu Hongwei say? Accompanied Zhang Xingming to walk slowly, along the water's edge to the Huxin Pavilion, there was no one in the pavilion, a few people entered the pavilion, beckoned someone to bring some refreshments and fruits, and sat down in the pavilion to talk.

It is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the summer of the capital gradually disappears under the sunset, the cool breeze is blowing, the willows are rippling across the water surface and rippling layer by layer, there are dragonflies hovering on the water surface, the air floats with the fragrance of flowers coming from nowhere, listening to the birds and birds crying among the trees, making a pot of tea, pinching a corner of flower cake, in such an afternoon, sitting in such a place, it is simply too comfortable.

Several people sat quietly in the pavilion looking at the water, and for a long time, Zhang Xingming said: "It's just that this lake is small, it's a pity." ”

Li Chun said: "The water surface on Prince Island is big, so I will build a pavilion for you later." ”

Zhang Xingming raised his foot and kicked falsely: "You get out." A few people laughed, and Wang Xiaolong said, "We're planning to go over and have a look together one day." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Can you go away? It's not a short time to go back and forth over there." ”

Wang Xiaolong said: "In the past few years, it has basically stabilized, and there are people below to take care of it, so we will generally grasp it, do things outside, and there will be time." And I haven't seen you for a while, and I wanted to go over to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "What is the situation now?"

Wang Xiaolong said: "It's still as you said at the beginning, it's basically the same, the entertainment city, the bath, the cinema, and by the way, it also sells some houses." This time it's a few of us combined, we want to do a cultural company, publish a book and make a movie or something, Xiaowei said that it's best to do this with the word "country", why don't we just come over and take a look, and look for someone. ”

Zhang Xingming said with a smile: "The heart is quite big, and I want to hang the national character." That's right, there are some things that are easier to do. Who's about it?"

Wang Xiaolong said: "I still know two people here, saying that they are helping me make an appointment with the children of the Ministry of Culture, but we haven't seen them yet." ”
