Chapter II: Networks

As soon as he heard the young man's surname, Xue Xiang guessed who was coming, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li asked you to come, is Uncle Li okay?" ”

Uncle Li in Xue Xiang's mouth is none other than the old general Li Tieshan, who was sent down with Xue Anyuan in the Beijing suburb cadre school, when Xue Xiang sent food, tobacco and alcohol to Xue Anyuan, he didn't take care of the old comrades who faded out of their mouths, and this Li Tieshan was the best one among them. Speaking of this Li Tieshan, he and Xue Anyuan are old comrades-in-arms, and they were originally heroes who came out of the white mountains and black waters in the northeast. In the early years, Li Tieshan and most of the mountain men in general, fell into the grass and made a beard, but he did not follow the Zhang family father and son, but joined our army a long time ago, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he made a name for himself in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to the Red Capital to study at Kang University, and after completing his studies, he was assigned to the 129th Division and became the main commander.

It was also at that time that Li Tieshan got acquainted with Xue Anyuan, and at that time, under the care of the old chief, Xue Anyuan also mixed with the independent regiment commander of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division. Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War broke out, with the 129th Division as the foundation, the Central Plains Field Army was formed, and the two became the commanders of the main division at the same time.

To say that these two people originally talked about age, Li Tieshan wanted to be one round older than Xue An, but in terms of position, these two have always been neck and neck. But who thought that after liberation, it was divided into high and low. It was 50 years, the Korean War broke out, at that time, Xue Anyuan had the opportunity to go to the front, but at that time, it happened that Xue Xiang's aunt was pregnant with his eldest brother Xue Dangkou, so Li Tieshan made a small report. said that Xue Anyuan's family had a pregnant wife, and he was afraid that he would be distracted when he entered the DPRK to fight. In this way, let him pick up the cheap. led the troops to the front line, and Xue Anyuan was transferred to become a student by the newly established Nanjing Military Academy.

At this point, when the title was conferred in five or five years, Li Tieshan was stunned by his military exploits in the dynasty, and he was one level higher than Xue Anyuan and became a lieutenant general. That's it. The two met but didn't quarrel, they quarreled and quarreled, and when they finally devolved, they returned to a bunch again. But when they met, they smiled and grudges.

Yes, after Xue Xiang was reborn, when he went to send something to Xue Anyuan for the first time, Xue Anyuan was playing chess with an old man, and finally argued about the ownership of the lieutenant general at that time. There was an awkward scene again, the old man was none other than this Li Tieshan.

And Xue Xiang went to Liaodong alone this time, and some elders, such as Xue Anyuan. Xu Zigan, An Zaihai did not give a lot of advice, of course, this advice was naturally not to teach Xue Laosan how to act as an official, but to let him meet the three of them in Liaodong on their behalf. And this visit obviously has another meaning, that is, to help him Xue find some big trees to shelter from the wind and rain.

And this Li Tieshan was the first person Xue Anyuan confessed to pay homage, and Xue Xiangyuan also planned to take the time to visit after settling down in Xiaoshan County, but he didn't expect people to grab the head.

But said that Xue Xiang said "Uncle Li", Li Qi frowned when he heard it, but he couldn't find out, he could only ask Xue Xiang not to call him "nephew", but how could he not let Xue Xiang call his old man "grandpa", as soon as he thought of this, Li Qi said angrily: "It's very strong, tossing me all day long, can it be hard, don't rub it, get in the car, for more than half a month, I have been asked to guard here every day, and today can be regarded as a relief." ”

Xue Xiang had already been arranged by Feng Jing, and he had to report to the Huayuan Local Committee for dinner, but here the old man Li invited him, and he couldn't shirk it, so he had to turn back and ask Xiao Wang in a whisper if he could go down later, Xiao Wang squeaked, he didn't have an opinion, and he couldn't say why, Li Qi on the side looked upset and shouted: "You are so hard, don't worry, this little, you still need to be noisy?" What time is the old man's word, you are not hungry, I am hungry. ”

As soon as Xue Xiang heard that the old man was willing to take it, it was no better, and invited Xiao Wang to go with him, Xiao Wang looked at the military card several times, but did not recognize the way, but listening to Li Qi's tone, he knew that it was a big name Yanei, and then saw that his eyes were not good, where he was willing to mix blindly, so he let Xue Xiang go to himself, and said that he would infiltrate Minister Feng here.

Xue Xiang nodded, thanked him, and hugged the little guy to get into the car, and as soon as he sat down, Li Qi's engine was a sensation, and he was speeding all the way, which also matched the young man's high-flying temperament.

Li Tieshan's residence is not far from the compound of the provincial party committee, it is an independent community, hanging the sign of the invalids, there are guards standing guard in front of the door, the green trees in the community are shaded, the grass is in full bloom, the environment is fresh and pleasant, and it is a good place to care for the elderly.

But said that these old people, it seems that they are a preference, especially love the fence courtyard, Li Tieshan's residence, is a unique courtyard, the area is quite large, in it, the fence low wall, chicken coop duck rack, vegetable nursery, and even complete, the car just stopped at the door, the courtyard will be roosters and ducks, so lively.

Li Qi stopped the car, didn't say hello, got out of the car and walked towards the courtyard, shouting as he walked, "Grandpa, I've picked up the people, now I should be liberated, I have to rest here for a few days, these days can make me tired enough." ”

Xue Xiang just got out of the car with the little guy in his arms, and heard a rough and familiar laugh in the courtyard, and looked up, but saw a tall, gray-haired old man, wearing an old military uniform, striding out of the hall, not Li Tieshan, who had seen him many times in the cadre school, who was it?

Without waiting for Xue Xiang to say hello first, the old man opened his mouth first: "Good boy, Lao Xue talked to Lao Tzu on the phone half a month ago, saying that you may have to come down, I asked Li Qi to block people at the entrance of the organization department every day, and it was blocked for more than ten days, and then it was blocked, you kid is so big."

Xue Xiang took the little guy by the hand and walked forward quickly, "Uncle Li, how are you doing?" came in a hurry, the little nephew was empty-handed this time, and he lost his manners, no wonder."

Hearing Xue Xiang's words, Li Tieshan's smile condensed: "You kid can't spit out ivory with a dog's mouth, and then talk to Lao Tzu, beware of Lao Tzu blasting you out, heh!" The old man was scolding fiercely, and when he saw the little guy next to Xue Xiang, he was shocked, his old face thawed instantly, and he bent down and picked up the little guy, "Haha, good girl, you also come to see Uncle." It's so good-looking, Uncle will get you something delicious."

The little guy went to see Xue Anyuan with Xue Xiang many times, and later during the Chinese New Year, the cadre school was opened. is even more diligent, and a group of old men are far away from their relatives in their homeland. After the innocent little guy went, he was naturally very popular, and this old man Li liked her the most. Yes, when I saw the villain at first glance at this time, I didn't even pursue Xue Xiang's speechlessness, and even forgot Xue Laosan, and went into the house with the little guy in his arms. The treasure is gone.

said that when Xue Xiang arrived at the Li family's compound, it was already eleven o'clock at noon, and Li Tieshan ordered the chef to add dishes, and beckoned Li Qi to call. After a toss, lunch was not eaten until half past one in the afternoon. At noon, I couldn't sit down around a full table, Li Tieshan's eldest son Li Wei, second son Li Zhi, and son-in-law Jing Xiang all arrived. As for the female dependents, according to Li Tieshan's northeast beard, they are not allowed to go to the main table, and they are arranged to eat in the side room, of course. The little guy is inside and out, except for these three second generations of the Li family, and a group of three generations of children are brushed together, seven or eight boys, crowded at the bottom.

Thanks to the Li family's guards, they are well organized and well-arranged, but they are not busy. Speaking of this chief guard, I have to say a few more words. Marshals are equivalent to the level of members of the political bureau, generals are equivalent to the level of vice premiers, and the generals are counted as party and state leaders, and the generals enjoy the treatment of the secretary general of the State Council, and the lieutenant generals enjoy the treatment of ministers, and the lieutenant generals are counted as senior generals, and can be equipped with guards, secretaries, cooks, orderlies, and personal doctors. And these treatments, although canceled in the catastrophe, but after the catastrophe is over, if there is an organizational conclusion, the treatment will naturally be restored.

And Xue Anyuan was one level behind before, and he only enjoyed the minister's medical treatment, but he didn't have this treatment. However, at the moment, Xue Anyuan is the commander of the large military region, and if he really talks about the rank, he is far higher than the current Li Tieshan, and his treatment is better than that of Li Tieshan at this moment.

Okay, stop there, let's get back to business.

Lunch, although he talked about wine, the old man knew that the four in front of him still had business in the afternoon, so he did his best, and the meal was over in an hour, and the three generations of children and daughters were like completing the task, putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and coming up to say hello symbolically to the brothers and sisters of the Xue family, and then saying hello to the old man Li who was sitting and drinking tea, and went out in a swarm, and the situation was more like escaping.

Old Man Li took a sip of tea, snorted coldly, and swept the second son and son-in-law who were sitting with him in the hall, "There is no education at all, and the person who loses Lao Tzu, next time, if you dare to do this, no one will fucking want to enter Lao Tzu's door." "The old man has been a mixed beard since he was a child, and he has been killing people and fighting all his life, and he is getting old, but his rude and barbaric temperament has not changed at all.

The old man was about to scold again, and when he saw the little guy leaning in Xue Xiang's arms, holding Xiaobai, and talking dirty, he stopped, "It's messy, and I haven't introduced you well, this is the nephew of your uncle of the Xue family, that is, your brother, the third brother is almost inseparable, see you later, don't meet and don't know, then it's a joke." ”

Previously, Li Wei, Li Zhi's family and Jingxiang's family did catch up with the front and back, men and women, large and small, more than a dozen people, but they really didn't introduce much, everyone only knew that this pair of brothers and sisters was an important guest at the top of their family, and this time the old man gathered the whole family, obviously to catch the wind for the brothers and sisters, which was self-evident in order to show grandeur.

"Which Xue family uncle, how old is it?" The one who spoke was Li Wei, the second son of the Li family, who is now a mixed regimental staff officer of the Liaodong Provincial Military Region, and because he is not in the field army, he has not been treated well by the old man. And this question obviously went straight to Xue Xiang, after all, he was in his forties, but he became a brother with a twenty-year-old hairy head, and he was naturally not very happy in his heart.

The most annoying thing for the old man Li is that these two boys actually carried him behind his back and mixed into the local troops that he had always regarded as a comparison with the puppet army before the liberation, which was really a shame on his old Nakano The face of the famous Li Da stick mallet, at this time he saw that he couldn't listen to it again, and he was about to scold out loud, but he was preempted by the eldest son Li Wei on the side.

Li Wei slapped his thigh and stood up: "Dad, could it be your old comrade-in-arms, Uncle Xue Anyuan, who played the prestige of our army in the battle to conquer the south and is currently the commander of the Lingnan Military Region?" ”

Li Wei is not his brother in the army, but in politics, forty-five or sixteen, he has a very well-known career, and he is already the deputy director of the Liaodong Provincial Department of Finance, in this era of old cadres, it is already quite conspicuous. Li Wei is not like his younger brother, he is the most enthusiastic about his career, and when he thinks about who the uncle of the Xue family is, he excites Xue Anyuan's most glorious resume. At this moment, Levi was indeed more joyful than surprised. I didn't expect the old man to have this relationship, and he really responded to the old saying: ginger is still old and spicy.

Speaking of which, Levi was so excited and emotional. But there is another reason. At present, the Li family seems to have a founding lieutenant general, and the scenery is incomparable. In fact, it is strong on the outside, and there is a lack of follow-up worries. After all, although Mr. Li enjoys the treatment of a senior cadre, whether in the political circles or in the army, his influence has greatly faded. It's okay to say in the political circles, after all, the old man didn't mix with that pile at all, but in the army. This is where the Li family lives and lives, and the current form is also declining.

On the one hand, Old Man Li was not like Xue Anyuan, and he still controlled the field army troops when he was delegated, but Old Man Li was in the General Staff at that time and did not control the actual troops. As the saying goes, "If the general doesn't lead the troops, no one listens to what he says", this is the truth, before the old man Li was decentralized, he broke off the close hierarchical link. After the liberation, no specific positions were arranged, and only a vacant post of deputy director was hung up in the Liaodong Provincial People's Congress, which cannot be compared with Xue Anyuan, a veteran soldier who is taken care of by the old chief and supported by the old A army.

Two. Xue Anyuan's battle to the south shines, and now he has the most powerful Lingnan Military Region among the major military regions, but all those who have a clear heart and bright eyes do not know that Xue Anyuan's future will never stop at the commander of the large military region, and then where he will rise, then there is full room for imagination.

Here, as the son of the Li family, Li Wei naturally has to worry about the prosperity of the family and the back road, just when there is nothing to do, Xue Xiang came out with Xue Anyuan on his shoulders, why didn't he be ecstatic? This is a real hard relationship, if you don't pull it, you are a complete fool!

Li Wei's voice fell, Li Zhi and Jing Xiang showed surprise together, and the two also didn't expect that there was such a relationship behind the old man. Li Zhi said well, after all, it is the Li family's own people, Jing Xiang is different, his Lao Tzu was originally a subordinate of the old man Li, but in recent years, the old man of the Jing family has been good in the army, and he has become the deputy commander of the field army.

And at this moment, listening to the origin of the young man in front of him, and then looking at the intimacy between this young man and his father-in-law, Jing Xiang sighed in his heart for no reason: In the end, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse! On the one hand, I can't tell whether I am happy or unhappy, on the one hand, I am angry that I can't overshadow the Li family, and I have to continue to be angry with the yellow-faced woman when I go home, and on the other hand, I am proud of the relationship between the Li family, isn't it the relationship between myself as an uncle, and I am happy to add a branch of the relationship that leads to the sky. For a while, I thought about it like a mess.

The expressions of the two sons and one son-in-law, Li Tieshan naturally saw it in his eyes, and knew in his heart what these three people were talking about, so he first felt very disliked. Although he knows his own family affairs, although he also wants to create benefits for his children and grandchildren, he is stubborn and difficult to change, and he has never opened his mouth for his family. At this moment, looking at the faces of the three of them who were firmly locked by the famous reins, there was a feeling of annoyance in their hearts for no reason, and without saying a word, they waved their hands and drove the three of them away.

After the three of them went, the old man pulled Xue Xiang to talk about his daily routine, and the focus was naturally on Xue Anyuan's specific examples in the Battle of the Southern Expedition. At this time, it has been several months since the end of the main station of the Southern Expedition, Xue Anyuan's exploits and achievements, Xue Xiang naturally has an in-depth understanding, and he chatted with Li Tieshan at this time, but it was eloquent and detailed, which made Old Man Li enjoy listening to it, sometimes praising Xue Anyuan for doing a good job, sometimes accusing the arrangement of troops and flaws, but more assuming that if he played by himself, he boasted about himself, but he couldn't hide the loneliness of the old man.

Talking, talking, the topic gradually became cold, Xue Xiang couldn't help but raise his watch, Li Tieshan looked at it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you can accompany Lao Tzu to talk about it for a long time, it proves that you have a heart, rest assured, it will not delay your kid to take office, Feng Jing has already said hello, although I am the deputy director of the National People's Congress who is the Bodhisattva they molded in the temple, I still have this face." I have also heard about your kid in the backer, he is a conscience, he knows that it is not easy for the people, and he also knows what the people want and want, you go down this time, I have nothing to guide the old man, but I think as long as you are still like in the backer, with the people in your heart, you won't be able to go anywhere, don't worry, my old man has no other skills, go to Deng Yongjia's gang to slap the table, and the strength to smash the chair is still there, okay, I won't leave you anymore, go, my old man has a problem with taking a nap, I won't send you away, just remember to bring a good girl to see Lao Tzu from time to time. ”

After saying that, the old man stood up, touched the little one's little head, and went back to the room by himself. Not long after, there was a chief guard in charge of hospitality at noon came to see him off, but he didn't think that the chief guard had just started the car, and someone rang the horn not far away, Xue Xiangxun looked out, and it was not Xiao Wang, the secretary of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, who else poked out of the cockpit.

Xue Xiang was just about to greet Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang over there drove the car to him, "Comrade Xue, get in the car, I just came to pick you up, so I won't bother others." ”

Xue Xiang had nothing to do, said hello to the chief guard who got into the car over there, thanked him, and got into Xiao Wang's car, who knew that as soon as he opened the car door, he saw Feng Jing sitting in the back seat with a smile on his face, smiling at him.
