Chapter 779: Lobbyist (Ask for Subscription!) )
It was less than ten o'clock when he returned home, and it was Xuan Zhen who greeted Xu Yinglong, saying that the old man had gone to the military region and had not come back, but the old man of the Cai family and the Wang family were living here these days.
Entering the living room, Xu Yinglong saw that the two old men were playing chess across a small coffee table, and seeing the two of them killing, he didn't notice Xu Yinglong coming in at all.
Xu Yinglong didn't bother them, but went upstairs to chat with Xuan Zhen. Xu Yinglong came back a few times before, and he came and went in a hurry, how could he have time to chat with Xuan Zhen, and it happened that there was more time today, so Xu Yinglong planned to have a good chat with Xuan Zhen.
The reason why this thought arose was mainly because Xu Yinglong suddenly discovered that Xuan Zhen's cultivation was still in the middle of Jindan. You must know that Xuan Zhen was the first monk to follow Xu Yinglong, and he was loyal to Xu Yinglong. Seeing that the cultivation of the rest of the disciples around him was rising, even the cultivation of Ji Hanlei and the others had broken through to the infant realm, and Xuan Zhen was not half a star worse in comparison.
"Xuan Zhen, is this family okay?" Xu Yinglong poured a cup of tea for Xuan Zhen and also poured himself a cup, and then asked.
Although he has been living in the Xu family for more than half a year, Xuan Zhen still maintains the habits of the Japanese people, and replied very seriously: "Everything is fine at home, and other accidents have happened!" ”
"Hehe, relax, it's just the two of us here, there's no need to be so serious!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
"Yes!"
"By the way, Xuan Zhen, I don't think you have made much progress in cultivating during this time, I'm afraid your daughter can easily defeat you now. Why don't I take you to the chaotic space to cultivate for a while? Xu Yinglong said.
Hearing this, Xuan Zhen was first overjoyed, and then said solemnly: "Thank you for the gift of the young master." But what if I leave the old man's side? ”
Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "On the old man's side, I will first find someone else to replace me for a while, and then come back to continue to protect the old man after you successfully cross the tribulation!" ”
"Hmm. Thank you, young master! ”
"It's okay!"
Just when Xu Yinglong and Xuan Zhen were talking, there was a sound of climbing the stairs downstairs, and without thinking about it, I knew that it must have been the two old men who heard the movement upstairs and came up to check.
Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "Let's go down, lest the two old men work hard to climb the stairs, if there is an accident, it will be our sin!" ”
As soon as he turned out of the small living room upstairs, Xu Yinglong saw the two old men who were struggling to climb the stairs, and immediately said, "Old Cai, Old Wang, you two still don't come up." Let's go down and talk! ”
Knowing that Xu Yinglong was taking care of them, Cai Lao said with a smile: "People are old, it's not okay not to admit defeat!" I think that back then, the old man and I followed Taizu to climb the snowy mountains and cross the grassland, and it was 25,000 miles to walk, which was so laborious as now, hey, old man! ”
Wang Lao on the side laughed and said: "Our brother is nearly 100 years old, and it can be compared with when he was in his teens and twenties." The years are not forgiving, and what people say is that we are old and immortal, if you are still as strong as you are eighteen, nineteen or twenty. Isn't that an old monster? ”
Xu Yinglong also laughed and said: "It's rare for you two elders to have such a tough body at such an old age, but you two elders are making money in comparison!" ”
"This is reasonable, compared to those old brothers who died on the battlefield, the two of us are really earning it. I think I joined the Red Army with 188 fellow villagers, I was the youngest at the time, but I didn't expect that so many years had passed. I'm the only one alive! Cai Lao said with a little sadness.
"Hehe, then you have to live well. You have to be old enough for those dead heroes! Xu Yinglong said.
"Hahaha, you kid don't tell me these bunched words to the old man. Anyway, you kid didn't say hello to the two of us old immortals when he entered the house, what's wrong, I'm afraid we'll eat you? Cai Lao scolded with a smile.
Xu Yinglong smiled disapprovingly, he knew that this old man had such a temper, and the better the relationship, the better it was. He immediately smiled and explained: "It's not that you are afraid of what you are doing, it's just that I saw that the two of you were killing you just now, and I can't bear to disturb you!" ”
"Even if your kid has a conscience, by the way, where is my little Yongzi, who hasn't seen that kid since he came back for two days?" Old Man Cai asked.
Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "It's the right time for you to ask, that kid happened to come back with me today!" ”
"It's good to be back, how long can they stay home this time?" Old Man Cai asked again.
"A week, in the middle of the month, they have to leave home again, this time it might be a little longer!" Xu Yinglong said.
"A little longer? How long, days or years? Old Man Cai hurriedly asked.
"It's not a few days, it's not a few years, it should be a few months!" Xu Yinglong said.
"It's only been a few months, it's not long!" Cai Lao said with a smile.
"Xu family boy, your old man will be there in another year, do you have any ideas?" Old Man Cai asked again.
Mr. Xu is 64 years old this year, and according to the regulations, the full-time officer of the large military region cannot be more than 65 years old, which means that Mr. Xu must retire next year. Although Xu Yinglong knew about it, he didn't care.
On the one hand, it is because Xu Yinglong feels that the old man does not hold the current position in fact, it has nothing to do with the Xu family, if the old man wants to continue to work, it is okay to retire at home, it will not affect the rise and fall of the Xu family.
On the other hand, Xu Yinglong always thought that it was a national hard rule and could not be changed, so Xu Yinglong did not worry about this matter.
But now listening to Old Man Cai's words, it doesn't seem to be like this, and he immediately asked: "What does Old Cai mean, according to the regulations, doesn't my old man have to retire, what else can he think?" ”
Cai Lao said with a smile: "The regulations are regulations, but the above has never been one-size-fits-all for senior officers, if you want your old man to continue to stay in the army, it's okay!" ”
Xu Yinglong thought for a while and said: "After going through so many things, I think the old man must be downbeat about some things, and he doesn't want to make waves again because of this matter." In addition, it seems to me that the old man has been working hard for so many years, and I hope that he can retire and rest well. So if it's at the point, let the old man retreat peacefully! ”
"Your idea is good, but the old man is worried that His Excellency the Führer will not release him!" Cai Lao said in a deep voice.
"Is it because of me?" Xu Yinglong asked with a frown.
"Well, I think your value is more clear than anyone else, and now that your old man is here, His Excellency the Führer is still very relieved of you. If there is anything, let Nangong Boy notify you, for the sake of your old man's face, you don't care about ordinary things. But if your old man really retires completely, the Führer may not be as handy as you are now. So if I were the Führer, I wouldn't let your old man go! Old Man Cai replied.
Xu Yinglong frowned and said, "But my old man is almost there, does the head of state have any other way?" ”
Old Man Wang smiled and said: "According to the regulations, your old man must indeed retire, but if your old man can go further before retirement, according to the regulations, there will be no such limit." ”
Xu Yinglong thought thoughtfully, and then said: "I think the two old men seem to have deliberately mentioned this matter today, did the head of state let the two of them be lobbyists?" ”
Old Man Wang and Old Man Cai glanced at each other, then smiled and said, "You really guessed right, Your Excellency the Führer does mean this." As the old man just said, it is very helpful for the country for your old man to continue to stay in the army, so His Excellency the Führer does not want him to go home so early to pick up the child. However, Your Excellency the Führer also asked us to convey to you that he fully respects your opinion and that of your old man, and that if your old man really wants to retire, the Führer will not stop him. ”
Xu Yinglong thought for a while and said: "After all, this matter involves my old man, so if you want to retreat or stay, I can't make up my mind for his old man, and when the old man comes back, we will discuss it and then give a reply to the head of state!" ”
"Okay, hurry up!" Old Man Cai said with a smile. (To be continued......)
