Chapter Eighty-Six: Battle Heroes
Liang Guocheng, Liang Jingwei and his son came to thank him in person two days later.
Liang Jingwei is very meticulous in his work, and he expected that Director Liu might not have time at ordinary times, so he chose Sunday, and came to the Limin Maintenance Department to find Liu Jun before coming to the door.
This was unexpectedly unexpected. "The grace of receiving a drop of water should be repaid by a spring", the state of etiquette, there is a clear precept in ancient times. The thing that made Liu Jun happiest was that Liang Qiao also came with him. I haven't seen each other for two days, and I feel uncomfortable all over.
Does this little girl really weigh so much in her mind? This 40-year-old mentality and 10-year-old body are sometimes really contradictory.
Liang Guocheng's injured leg is basically better, and he is still wearing patched clothes. It seems that the family is really in difficulty, and even when I visit the director of the Revolutionary Committee, I can't find a single shirt without patches.
However, the gifts they brought were heavy, full of tobacco and alcohol, and the grade was not low. There are also two chickens, a basket of eggs, and a basket of fresh wild mushrooms. Since the end of last year, the experiment of cultivating mushrooms in air-raid shelters has been successful, and the whole county has vigorously promoted them, and mushrooms are not a new thing in the vegetable markets of various towns and villages in Xiangyang County. However, cultivated mushrooms are naturally incomparable to wild mushrooms in terms of taste, taste and nutritional value. The soup made from the old hen stewed with wild mushrooms is so delicious that no one will forget it after drinking it once.
Liu Jun was not polite to them, but just told them that it was impossible for him to accept these things no matter what. When the time comes, you can accept that basket of mushrooms, even if it is very face-saving.
Liu Jin had just become the director of the Revolutionary Committee, and he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground. What's the concept of Sunday? Unexpectedly, this time Liu Jun took the Liang family's father and son back to the county Revolutionary Committee, and found that Liu Jincai was actually at home. It's luck.
"Dad, let me introduce you, this is your comrade-in-arms, Comrade Liang Jingwei of the XX Army, who just came down from the front line of the self-defense counterattack and came to visit you."
Liu Jun first introduced Liang Jingwei.
It's not that Liu Jun is snobbish, and Liang Guocheng's identity is really difficult to announce. The public security punishment of "seven days of detention" is still on his back and has not been carried out.
Liu Jincai was reading the newspaper, and when he heard his son's introduction, he immediately got up to greet him. The comrades-in-arms fell second, and the warriors who had just come down from the front line could not be neglected. Regardless of Liang Jingwei's outstanding military exploits, even if he has not made an inch, as long as he has gone through the battlefield full of blood and fire, he can be regarded as contributing to the country.
Liang Jingwei stood upright, gave a military salute, shook hands with Liu Jincai, and then solemnly introduced his father and sister.
"Hello, Director Liu. This is my father, Liang Guocheng, a member of the Maple Brigade. This is my little sister Liang Qiao. ”
Liu Jun's favor for Liang Jingwei suddenly increased by a few points. A man who is not ashamed of his father's stain is definitely a filial son. As long as he is a filial son, Liu Jun respects him very much.
On Sunday, if there are no important cases, Nguyen Bixiu is at home as usual. Without waiting for Liu Jincai to speak, Ruan Bixiu was surprised when she saw Liang Qiao.
"Ah, what a beautiful girl. Come on, come on, come and sit...... Please be seated! ”
The things brought by the Liang family were treated as if they hadn't seen it. I'm going to have to go back anyway, so why bother looking at it now? It's out of sight and out of mind!
"Oh, this girl is really good-looking. Lao Liu, take a look, which is more beautiful than Director Yan's Feifei? ”
Ruan Bixiu took Liang Qiao's hand and was amazed.
Liu Junyuan knew that Liang Qiaonai was a natural stunner, and it was reasonable to fascinate men. I didn't want to be the first person who was fascinated by my mother after entering the door, and immediately compared another little stunner with a "disaster water" level. Mmmm, what do you want to do? It looks like you only have a son who is not yet 10 years old.
Ruan Bixiu's gossip caused everyone to laugh, but it adjusted the atmosphere well, and Liang Guocheng, who was originally a little restrained, immediately relaxed a lot.
Liang Qiao was embarrassed by Ruan Bixiu's praise, lowered his head and blushed in shame, but his big black eyes secretly glanced at Liu Jun.
"You, don't scare the little girl."
Liu Jincai smiled, in a very good mood. A year ago, he was still facing the threat of "double opening", and now he has become the director of the Revolutionary Committee, how can he be in a bad mood?
"Come, please sit, drink water......"
said that he was drinking water, but Liu Jincai took out the "big front door" and handed it over.
Liang Guocheng hurriedly rubbed his hands on his trouser legs, and then took the cigarette.
"Thank you, Director Liu, I don't smoke."
Liang Jingwei hurriedly waved his hand.
"Xiao Liang, just came down from the front line? Tell me about the battle, how was the battle going? Hehe, don't violate the secrecy discipline of the troops, right? ”
"Director Liu is an old-timer of our army and a leading cadre, so it is right to report to you, and you should not violate the discipline ......of confidentiality."
Liang Jingwei immediately talked about some situations in the self-defense counterattack.
Hearing him say that he served as the assault platoon commander of the main attack company, Liu Jincai's eyes suddenly showed a little envy. It is said that Liu Jincai was also a leader in the army before, and he failed to go to the battlefield, and he regretted it all his life.
Alas, what a man's war complex!
Regarding the war on the Southern Front in 1979, there are many articles describing it in detail in later generations, and Liu Junbai has read a lot. took it to verify the situation dictated by Liang Jingwei, and found that it was basically the right number. It's just that the description in the book is naturally far less real than the immersive feeling of the person concerned. Liang Jingwei didn't say much, basically there was no embellishment and literary color to speak of, but the battle was too intense, even if it was flat and straightforward, it was full of dangers and exciting enough. Even Liu Hua, Liu Ye, and Liu Yan, who were reviewing their homework in the room, and Jiang Youxin, a free "tutor", all walked to the living room to observe.
Although Liang Jingwei's narration is a little bland, the details are very clear. For example, his deputy company commander, on the third day of the battle, hid behind a big rock to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and as soon as his head poked out, he was shot coldly. Fortunately, I rubbed my scalp and almost missed.
Hearing this, Liang Qiao, who was sitting next to me, couldn't help but hold Liu Jun's hand tightly.
"After about a few minutes, the deputy company commander stuck his head out of the same place to reconnoiter ......"
"Oops!"
Yoo Jin-jae and Yoo Jun shouted at the same time.
Others didn't understand what was wrong, Liang Jingwei nodded, and said, "Yes, the deputy company commander is too careless, and the snipers are already waiting there." As a result, I didn't hide this time......"
Speaking of this, Liang Jingwei was a little sad. Listening to the meaning of his words, the deputy company commander was his old platoon commander before, and he was really good to him.
After the story of a battle, more than an hour passed unconsciously. When he heard that after the battle, Liang Jingwei was awarded a special meritorious service for his impressive record of killing 17 enemies and destroying six light and dark firepower points, and was awarded the honorary title of combat hero by the military region, Liu Jincai couldn't help but applaud.
"Okay, Comrade Liang Jingwei, good fight! Serve the field, make meritorious contributions to the country, and play the national prestige and military prestige, you deserve to be a real hero! On behalf of the fathers and villagers of Xiangyang County, I would like to pay tribute to you! ”
Liang Jingwei rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Director Liu, you are too awarded, I am a junior, but I can't afford it." ”
Liu Jincai was very interested, and said to Liang Guocheng: "Old Liang, you have educated such a good son, and you are also very proud." ”
Liang Guocheng's eyes turned red, he stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Jincai, and said in a trembling voice: "Director Liu, my family's Jingwei can have today, and I can make this contribution, all of which are to help you!" You are the great benefactor of my old Liang family! ”
Liu Jincai waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, you also had a reason for the incident at the beginning, and it is understandable." The comrades of the Public Security Bureau also dealt with it in accordance with the law, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Liang Guocheng was not good at words, reached out to wipe his eyes, choked and couldn't speak.
As you know, Liu Jun couldn't see this the most, and hurriedly came out to gag: "Oh, it's almost eleven o'clock, Mom, hurry up and cook, I'm starving." ”
"Go, kid's house, don't pay attention to your speech, what's dead or alive?" Ruan Bixiu scolded with a smile: "Okay, you sit, I'll cook first, and eat at home at noon." ”
"Auntie, it's not troublesome, we have to catch the car back."
Liang Jingwei hurriedly got up and said politely.
"It's all guests, what's the point of having a meal? Sit down, sit down, and keep talking. ”
Liu Jincai usually doesn't accept gifts, is not his own relative, and doesn't keep food. This time he took the initiative to retain, naturally for the sake of Liang Jingwei's battle hero.
Liang Qiao got up obediently, followed his mother into the kitchen, and said softly, "Auntie, I'll cook." You take a break. ”
Ruan Bixiu smiled: "You are a guest, how can there be a reason to ask guests to cook." ”
Liang Qiao was a little anxious: "Auntie, just let me come." When I work in Xiaojun's shop, I cook all the food. It's just that the craftsmanship is not good......"
"Qiao'er, don't you like to praise yourself like this." Liu Jun laughed: "Mom, you let Qiao'er cook, her cooking skills are first-class." ”
"What do children know? Ask the guests to cook, and if you want to spread it, you will say that our family bullies the guests. Qiao'er, go sit and listen to your brother's story. ”
Liang Jingwei was stunned for a moment, and his expression was very depressed.
Liu Jun couldn't help but laugh secretly, how did this personal experience become a storytelling? However, if you deduce according to the theorem that "everything that has happened is called a story", Ruan Bixiu is not wrong.
Liang Qiao came over and sat down timidly, and in less than two minutes, he ran into the kitchen like a burning butt and helped Ruan Bixiu start. Ruan Bixiu didn't drive her out again this time. I'm doing it myself, and the guests are helping, which is not a bad etiquette.
Although I didn't taste the fresh soup of the old hen stewed mushrooms at noon, a dish of fried fresh mushrooms with meat was also praised by everyone. Liu Jincai was very interested, and he also pulled Liang Guocheng and Jiang Youxin to drink two glasses of wine.
After eating, Liang Guocheng and his son sat down for a while, and then left.
As Liu Jun said before, Liu Jincai resolutely refused to accept the courtesy. Only the basket of mushrooms, some of which have already reached everyone's belly, do not need to be returned.
"Xiao Liang, you are welcome to come to my house often, but you are not allowed to bring anything with you. It's the rule. ”
Liu Jin has only been a county leader for a year, and he has a majesty at this moment. There is a difference from the image of the easy-going and amiable technical cadre in the previous life.
The father and son of the Liang family were originally not good at communicating, and it was the first time they came to the door, and when they saw that Liu Jincai insisted, they didn't dare to say more.
Liang Qiao looked at Liu Jun with a very reluctant expression, and suddenly mustered up the courage to say, "Auntie, will you let Xiaojun go to my house to play for two days?" I accompanied him to pick mushrooms and dig small bamboo shoots......"
Don't say "take him there" but "accompany him", the word "accompany" undoubtedly points out Liu Jun's position in Liang Qiao's mind.
Ruan Bixiu didn't expect that the shy and cautious Liang Qiao would make such a request, and it was difficult to reply for a while.
Liu Jun jumped up: "Great, I'm going!" ”
Think about it, picking mushrooms and digging bamboo shoots, what a desirable thing to do? In his previous life, when he was in his thirties, as long as Liu Jun went home to visit relatives, he often thought about fishing and picking bamboo shoots. Regardless of the harvest, the process of lingering in nature is enough to be intoxicating. What's more, with beauty? Hey!
Ruan Bixiu was still hesitating. She was worried about her son's hardships in the countryside. But I forgot that a year ago, my whole family was still living in the countryside.
"Xiaojun, you still have to go to school."
Ruan Bixiu came up with such a clever excuse. If Liang Qiao hadn't sent this invitation, I'm afraid that her old man would have forgotten that her son was still a primary school student. Imagine what elementary school student gets back 40 yuan a month to support his family?
Liu Junbian flattened his mouth, disapproving his mother's excuse, and couldn't even raise the interest in refuting it.
"Dad, what have you been busy with all this time?"
Liu Jun suddenly asked such an irrelevant question.
"Me? I'm thinking about the development of industry and agriculture in the county. Xiangyang County is too backward, it can't go on like this......"
"That's right, worthy of being a good leader of the people." Liu Jun laughed and teased: "In this way, I will exchange conditions with you." I'll go to the Maple Brigade for two days, and by the way, I'll give you a rural survey. When you go home, how about giving you valuable reference opinions for your industrial and agricultural development ideas? ”
"The idea of the great development of industry and agriculture? Well, that's a good idea, it's kind of interesting. ”
"Then you agreed?"
Seeing Liu Jun's greasy appearance, Liu Jincai also knew that this son was not talking nonsense. That being said, there will be something to come up with.
"Okay, I agreed."
Liang Qiao's face immediately showed a smile of surprise, and Liu Jun cheered even more.
"Remember, you are not allowed to go down to the river to play in the water!"
Ruan Bixiu saw that she couldn't stop it, so she had to reiterate this iron law again.
"Got it, don't worry!";
