Chapter 0395: An Unexpected Encounter
When the veteran cadres checked into the inn, Zeng Cheng was saying goodbye to Yin Tao at the Capital International Airport. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since he came to the capital, Zeng Cheng naturally wanted to contact Yin Tao, and after discussing with the leaders about the sanatorium for retired cadres, he met with Yin Tao and learned about her work after returning to the capital.
Yin Tao said that the development of Yuemei Hotel Group in Beijing is very smooth, and Yin Tao, as the person in charge, is very comfortable in her work. However, she complained to Zeng Cheng about her parents forcing her to go on a blind date.
It turned out that Yin Tao's age was not young, and she would be twenty-nine in a few months. When she was in the capital before, her parents often urged her to get married. In the nearly two years since he came to Chongqing, because of the distance, Yin Tao's ears have been cleaner. But now that she is back in the capital to work, she is close to her parents, and the old people are urging her again, chattering in her ear every day, which makes Yin Tao very depressed.
Zeng Cheng comforted her a few words. I don't know why, hearing Yin Tao say that she didn't want to go on a blind date, Zeng Cheng secretly felt a little happy.
Then, Zeng Cheng was ready to go back to Shicheng, and Yin Tao drove Zeng Cheng to the airport.
When Zeng Cheng's flight landed at Yudu International Airport and then drove back to his home in Qinglong Village, it was already early in the morning.
At this time, the old cadres of the old cadre regiment have already gone to sleep.
Chen Siyu retired from the post of lieutenant general of a certain group army of the Yudu Military Region, and at the age of 78, he has experienced every war since the founding of New China, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having made outstanding achievements.
In 1951, at the age of 21, he fought on the Korean battlefield as a recruit, experiencing three of the five major battles of the Korean War.
In 1962, Chen Siyu became a captain and company commander of the people's army, and led his team to rush through the defense line for the first time, leaving a strong mark in the history of the people's army.
In 1979, when the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out, Chen Siyu, as a colonel and regiment commander of the participating army, fought on the Laoshan front line for three years.
After leaving the front-line battlefield, Chen Siyu returned to the Shicheng Military Division, which was subordinate to the Tianfu Military Region at that time, and served as the commander of the military division.
In the years that followed, Chen Siyu's military career was very smooth, and he finally became the commander of the group army, and when the people's army was awarded the title again in 88, he became a lieutenant general. That year, Chen Siyu was 58 years old.
Ten years ago, 68-year-old Chen Siyu completely retired from his combat post, raising flowers and grass at home every day, and his children and grandchildren around his knees, enjoying a happy old age.
This time in the veteran cadre regiment, Chen Siyu is the oldest person in the regiment and the one with the highest military rank.
It can be said that Shicheng is Chen Siyu's first stop after transferring to the place, and he has a special affection for here. Unexpectedly, now he came to Shicheng again with the old cadre group to travel.
So, on the first night after coming here, the old man unexpectedly suffered from insomnia.
Chen Siyu, who fell asleep in a daze in the early hours of the morning, was awakened by the pleasant sound of birdsong outside the window, and Chen Siyu, who was born in the countryside, could even clearly distinguish which voice was a magpie and which voice was a.
In the dry rest house of the Tianfu Military Region, although it is full of green trees, you can also hear the sound of birds in the morning. But compared with Qinglong Village, it is somewhat trivial.
The old man had a light sleep, although he only slept for less than five hours, but Chen Siyu still felt energetic, which may be related to the fresh air rich in fairy qi in Qinglong Village, or it may be inseparable from the glass of milk he drank before going to bed yesterday.
Last night, the service staff of the farmhouse hotel called "Qinghuju" where the veteran cadres stayed intimately prepared a glass of warm fresh milk for each of the elderly people who stayed in, and the rich milk aroma and delicate taste made Chen Siyu full of praise.
In fact, it's not just milk, since arriving in Qinglong Village yesterday, every food in the entrance has had a great impact on the taste buds of the members of the veteran cadre group, which is impressive.
Although the medical conditions in the cadre rest center are very good, the veteran cadres either watch TV or play cards every day, and in fact, there are really few opportunities for exercise. If you can live in an environment like Qinglong Village for a while, it is estimated that your mood will become more cheerful and your body will be much better.
However, the idea of living in Qinglong Village for a long time was only fleeting, after all, Chen Siyu could not make his own decisions on many issues, and his family and the doctors in the retreat center were not vegetarians.
After eating authentic and delicious farmhouse food and Western-style breakfast mixed breakfast in Qinghuju, Yu Chengfeng announced that he would take the old cadres to climb Qinglong Mountain and overlook the whole picture of Jiuli Township; Of course, old cadres who are not very good can stay in the village and move freely.
The slightly younger old cadres were all ready to climb the mountain with great interest, but Chen Siyu knew very well that he was 78 years old, and his knees and body would definitely not be able to bear this load, so he took the initiative to stay.
Several old cadres who love fishing were already itching their hands when they saw Qinglong Lake last night, and they proposed to go fishing by the lake.
After a period of turmoil, the veteran cadres finally decided on this morning's itinerary, and everyone had their own fun, but everyone was happy.
Chen Siyu did not act with the large army, but began to wander around the village alone with a camera on his back, taking pictures and leisurely.
Chen Siyu's current wife was a reporter for Tianfu Daily when she was young, Chen Siyu's photography skills were learned from his wife after retirement, and this time his wife had to take care of his granddaughter who had just been confined at home, Chen Siyu decided to take more photos and take them back to his wife.
The quaint and antique houses, the clanging streams, and the various trees that shade the sky and the sun create a calming atmosphere, and Chen Siyu feels that perhaps this is the real charm of this small mountain town.
He walked and photographed with the camera, whether it was the wildflowers on the side of the road or the cats and dogs chasing each other, they all became models in front of his camera, which seemed extremely harmonious.
Before he knew it, Chen Siyu came to the foot of a hill by Qinglong Lake. On the mountainside of this hill is a farm, but the top of the hill is verdant, and among the layers of trees, you can faintly see a very beautiful small building.
Chen Siyu decided to photograph the hill and the buildings on the top of the mountain.
However, when Chen Siyu's camera was aimed at Xiaoshan, a figure on the display screen suddenly stunned him.
At this time, Chen Siyu suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, and he wanted to tell himself that this might be a bit similar, not that person; But Chen Siyu knew that he would not recognize the wrong person.
Perhaps, this is the biggest surprise after I came to this Qinglong Scenic Area, right?
Chen Siyu first met Yun Lao in 1963. At that time, he returned with honors, and Yun Lao, who was the political commissar of the Tianfu Military Region at that time, awarded him the medal.
In the late 60s, after Yun Lao left the place and entered the central work, Chen Siyu also served as the commander of Yun Lao's guard company for three years. It is precisely because of this period of time that Chen Siyu has accumulated a certain amount of qualifications that he was able to enter the front-line command system of the field army in the later and was finally promoted to lieutenant general.
In a sense, Yun Lao is the leader of Chen Siyu's military command career, if it weren't for Yun Lao's relationship, no matter how good Chen Siyu's personal ability is, he may not be able to reach such a high position as the commander of the lieutenant general group army.
After Yun Lao stepped down from his leadership position and returned to the Demon Capital to enjoy his old age, Chen Siyu basically went to the Demon Capital once or twice a year to visit Yun Lao who was recuperating in the Yun family's old mansion. But Chen Siyu never thought that he would actually see Yun Lao in Qinglong Village.
"Report chief, Chen Siyu is on vacation, please instruct!" Almost at the same time as recognizing Yun Lao, Chen Siyu reflexively stood up in front of Yun Lao and shouted loudly.
Don't look at Chen Siyu, who is nearly eighty years old, but at this time, he is like a young man, like a green pine that will not fall.
"This is not a barracks, so there is no need to be so serious!" Yun Lao looked at Chen Siyu's outfit, waved his hand and said with a smile, "You came to Qinglong Village to travel, you are considered my guest, I should entertain you!" ”
For Chen Siyu, Yun Lao was extremely impressed. Not only because Chen Siyu once served as his own guard company commander, but also because he performed exceptionally well in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam at the end of the 70s.
Over the years, the relationship between the two has developed from an ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates to the feeling of old friends, and in addition to revolutionary friendship, there is also a personal friendship.
Yun Lao didn't expect that the Tianfu Military Region Cadre Rest House would actually arrange for the old cadres to go on vacation in Qinglong Village, and it seems that half of his master needs to be the host again.
"Chief, what are you ......" Looking at Yun Lao's dress as a local villager, Chen Siyu couldn't help but ask curiously.
As far as Chen Siyu knows, a national leader of Yun Lao's level, even after retirement, cannot completely make his own decisions, and needs to listen to the arrangements of the Central Committee Office and the Military Commission.
Generally speaking, an old man of his level, in addition to recuperating in the Xiangshan villa area on the outskirts of Beijing, will also go to Beidaihe to escape the heat in summer. These itineraries must be recorded by the Central Committee Office and the Military Commission.
And Yun Lao applied to return to his hometown in the demon capital to recuperate, which was already an exception. Among the many retired leaders that Chen Siyu knows, the situation of Yun Lao is unique.
However, now an even more exceptional situation has happened, Yun Lao actually came to this remote Jiuli Township.
In Chen Siyu's impression, there is no scenic spot or sanatorium in Shicheng or even in the whole of Chongqing that is subordinate to the Central Office or the Military Commission. Therefore, when he saw Yun Lao appear here, he couldn't help but feel a little insane. (To be continued.) )
