Chang Sheng first met Xu Lao in 1965 after graduating from his military academy in a military exercise, in which Chang Sheng, who shined brightly, was personally commended by Xu Lao, then commander-in-chief of the Rongcheng Military Region, because of his brave combat style and flexible tactical literacy.

Later, Chang Sheng also served as the commander of Xu Lao's guard company, and accumulated a certain amount of seniority before entering the front-line command system of the field army, and was finally promoted to general.

In a sense, Xu Lao is the leader of Chang Sheng's military command career, if it were not for Xu Lao's relationship, even if Chang Sheng's personal ability is good, he may not be able to come to this day.

It's just that with Xu Lao working in the central hub in the eighties, it became difficult for Chang Sheng to meet him, after all, he was not qualified to go to Beijing often at this stage.

After Xu Lao retired from the leadership position, Chang Sheng basically went to Beijing once or twice a year to visit General Xu Lao who was recuperating in the Xiangshan villa area. But Chang Sheng never thought that he would actually meet Xu Lao in Ginkgo Village.

"Report to the chief, Chang Sheng is on vacation, please instruct!" Almost at the same time as recognizing Xu Lao, Chang Sheng reflexively stood up in front of Xu Lao and shouted loudly.

Don't look at Chang Sheng, who is already seventy or eighty, but at this time, he is like a young man, like a green pine that will not fall.

"This is not a military camp, there is no need to be so strict!" Xu Lao looked at Chang Sheng's dress, waved his hand and said with a smile: "You came to Ginkgo Village for a tour, you are considered my guest, I should be here to entertain you!"

For Chang Sheng, Xu Lao was extremely impressed. Not only because Chang Sheng once served as his own guard company commander, but also because Chang Sheng performed exceptionally well in the tacit Annan counterattack in the 70s, and established his position as an elite commander of mountain operations in the Rongcheng Military Region and even the Republic Army.

Over the years, the relationship between the two has developed from an ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates to the feeling of old friends, in addition to revolution-life-emotion, there is also personal friendship.

Xu Lao didn't expect that the Rongcheng Military Region Cadre Rest House would actually arrange for the old cadres to go on vacation to Ginkgo Village, and it seems that his half of the master needs to be the host again.

"Chief, who are you?" Seeing that Xu Lao was dressed as a local villager, Chang Sheng couldn't help but be curious.

As far as Chang Sheng knows. A national leader of this level as Mr. Xu. Even after retirement, the itinerary cannot be completely decided by yourself, and you need to follow the arrangements of the military-commission-general office. Generally speaking, in addition to recuperating in the Xiangshan villa area on the outskirts of Beiping, Xu Lao will also go to Beidaihe to escape the heat in summer. These itineraries must be recorded in the General Office of the Military Commission.

In the impression of Chang Sheng. There is no scenic spot or sanatorium in Yaozhou or even northwest Yunnan that is subordinate to the Central Committee, the Central Committee, the Military Commission, and the Central Committee. Therefore, when Xu Lao appeared here, Chang Sheng couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Our family Meng Yao's future in-laws are here, and I will come to my grandson-in-law's house to enjoy Qingfu!" Xu Lao pointed to the Xiao family's old house with a smile. said: "Go back, you let the person in charge of your team come over, I will have a treat tonight, and set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust!"

This time the old cadres tour group, in addition to Chang Sheng, there are several cadres who have served under Xu Lao, and their arrival makes Xu Lao very happy.

Putting aside other factors, today's Xu Lao is becoming more and more rare every time he meets these old subordinates and old guys, because everyone is running out of time.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" This time, Chang Sheng reflexed again.

"You little Chang, it's just too strict!" Xu Lao nodded Chang Sheng, and said with a smile: "Just treat it as if you are in your own home, take it easy!"

For Chang Sheng, who is more than 20 years younger than himself, Xu Lao is a bit like looking at his nephews, so he takes special care of him, and in his many years of career as a senior general, there are not many people who can be so favored by Xu Lao!

Xu Lao took Chang Sheng and introduced him to other old people living in the old mansion, and this time Chang Sheng noticed that Xu Xiangnan was actually playing Go with an old man in the corridor of the old mansion.

The arrival of Chang Sheng suddenly made the old house become much more lively, and several old people sat on the dam, gossiping while comfortably enjoying the warm sunshine of late spring on the plateau of northwest Yunnan.

Chang Sheng himself didn't expect that he would meet the old chief in this situation, so he was naturally very happy, and when he talked about the past, he was in a turbulent mood.

After a while, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao took Nini and a few other children from the 'Monkey Valley' to feed the monkeys and returned to the old mansion, and were assigned a task by Xu Lao to prepare for tonight's banquet!

In this regard, Xiao Feng is naturally duty-bound and gladly accepts!

…………

Xiao Feng was pondering the dinner arrangements for tonight, Chang Sheng stayed at Xiao's house for lunch, not to mention, and when Fu Chuanyu returned to 'Binhuju' with the old cadres to finish lunch, he was also a little stunned when he heard the news of Chang Sheng's report!

"You said that General Xu lives in Ginkgo Village, and he still wants to invite us to dinner?!" Please forgive Fu Chuanyu's shock and gaffe, after all, this matter is too sudden.

You must know that General Xu Lao has served as the decision-maker of the Rongcheng Military Region since the early days of liberation, and he has a very high prestige in the Rongcheng Military Region. According to incomplete statistics, many front-line commanders and fighters of the main forces of the Rongcheng Military Region have served under Xu Lao, and they have a strong Xu brand.

Especially after Xu Lao began to preside over the work of the Central Committee, the Central Committee, and the Military Commission, his status in the eyes of many cadres of the Rongcheng Military Region has reached an unparalleled level.

Now that he heard that General Xu was going to have a treat, Fu Chuanyu felt that this trip to Ginkgo Village was really worth it!

"That's right, the old chief's family lives in the village, and I eat lunch at his grandson-in-law's house!" Chang Sheng nodded and said, "I heard that Mr. Xu's grandson-in-law's family runs a green food farm, it seems that we have a good mouth tonight!"

Although today's lunch is a home-cooked meal, under the dual effect of Xiao Feng's skillful cooking and the spatial spiritual spring, Chang Sheng feels another wonderful taste. At this time, Chang Sheng is looking forward to the food in the evening, which may become a special memory of this trip to Ginkgo Village!

When Fu Chuanyu announced that Xu Lao was located in Ginkgo Village and was going to hold a banquet to entertain the members of the old cadre group, it immediately attracted bursts of exclamations from the old cadres. And Chang Sheng, who ate alone at noon today, was complained by several old generals of the same age and position as himself, and made many promises, which was forgiven by everyone.

This time, the old cadres couldn't even take care of the nap they were used to, and collectively went to the Xiao family's old house to visit the old chief.

For the arrival of these former subordinates, General Xu was extremely happy, and ordered Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao to send the best fruits and snacks at home.

Maybe others will be afraid of private meetings with senior generals of the army, but for General Xu, who is over ninety years old and 'does not exceed the rules', meeting the retired old cadres is not a matter at all!

Throughout the afternoon, the Xiao family's old house became extremely lively, and it became a tea party in the Rongcheng Military Region Cadre Rest House, where a group of old cadres who had been in charge of thousands of troops ate delicious space fruits, drank space spirit tea, and recalled the past eventful years!

Especially Chang Sheng and a few, he is eloquent, and he tells the battle story of the year quite excitingly, which is much better than the storytelling on TV and the Thunderman TV series.

After a while, the position with Chang Sheng and others as the core attracted a group of fans from the Xiao family, and they listened to Chang Sheng's talk about the ancient times with relish, which made Chang Sheng's enthusiasm even higher.

…………

When there was a lively scene in the courtyard, Xiao Feng was acting as the main force with Xiao Jinhao, and the eldest sister, second sister, third sister, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were working together to prepare for today's dinner.

There are a total of 50 veteran cadres in the group, plus the elders of the Xiao family and the accompanying guests in Ginkgo Village, Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinhao need to make 10 tables of dishes in just one afternoon, and the task is not heavy.

Since it was a family banquet, it was a little inappropriate to ask the hotel's chef to help, but fortunately, meat such as beef, mutton, chicken, and duck could be mobilized from the cold storage of the slaughterhouse, which reduced some of Xiao Feng's trouble in handling the ingredients. In addition, the Xiao family farm itself produces a lot of ingredients, and the preparation for the dinner went quite smoothly.

For Xiao Jinhao, who has been in charge of hundreds of village banquets, a 10-table dinner is not a challenge at all, and it can be done within a few hours.

With the passage of time, the tempting aroma spread everywhere in the courtyard of the Xiao family's old mansion, in order to complete the task assigned by General Xu, Xiao Feng and Xiao Jinhao can be said to have done their best, quite a bit of a super-level performance.

The perfect combination of top-level ingredients, space spiritual springs and exquisite cooking skills naturally creates the most delicious top-notch food, which makes the well-informed old cadres a little dumbfounded. But it's normal to think about it, if Xiao Feng didn't have some ability, how could General Xu agree to marry his favorite granddaughter to him?

That night, the veteran cadres from the Rongcheng Military Region enjoyed an unforgettable top-level feast in the Xiao family's old house, and perhaps in a few years, they will still remember it vividly.

Because the dinner party was not only initiated by the old chief, General Xu, but also the food at the dinner did not have such a refreshing special delicacy in other places, which was enough to impress them!

After learning that General Xu would live in Ginkgo Village for a long time, many old cadres also felt that it was not a bad thing to stay in Ginkgo Village for a long time to recuperate. You must know that since the general office will agree to Mr. Xu's request, it means that the climate, water quality and air conditions of Ginkgo Village are conducive to the health of the elderly, which is quite crucial.

Of course, everyone will have selfish intentions, and if they can get along with General Xu day and night, there will always be certain benefits for the families of these old cadres.

And Fu Chuanyu, as the leader of the Rongcheng Military Region Cadre Rest Center, is even more out of consideration for the dry rest center, hoping to set up a sanatorium in the Jinghu Scenic Area and turn it into a fixed base of the dry rest center!

At the end of the dinner, everyone's thoughts came alive! (To be continued......)
