Chapter 81: The Rise of the Xu Family

Zhang Ji donkey meat is burned, by the moat of the East Second Ring Road.

The dΓ©cor of the store is very simple and looks very retro.

There are two lanterns hanging in front of the door, one with a letter written on it, and the other with a letter.

The lantern is a little old, but the small holes have been repaired, and the yellowed cloth indicates that the lantern is quite old.

The house is a few years old, and the ground is still very foreign when it was built, using cement.

At dusk, it was the meal, and diners came one after another.

Before entering the gate, the two soldiers politely gave a military salute: "Comrade, I'm sorry, I packed it tonight." ”

One of the three middle-aged men closest to the door, was still gushing: "You said that you were so forceful, Lao Tzu gave him a big mouth at that time, and they were all swollen." ”

"Eh, let's go back," his companion reminded, "It's a charter." ”

"Charter? Who charters the venue? The storyteller was unconscious, and when he looked up and saw the soldiers with stern faces, he couldn't help but take a step back, almost stumbling.

"Zhang Laojiu," he blushed, and shouted at the ear of his throat, "Why don't you tell me?" ”

"Old Wu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, they're going to pack it now." The boss Zhang Laojiu took a wooden board and wrote the words "We will not accept today's chartered venue" written on it.

Before the man could say anything, the other companion tugged at his sleeve and saw two military vehicles approaching.

"Salute!" Both soldiers raised their hands at the same time.

The people who got out of the military vehicle returned the salute together, and Luo Dongyang walked in front with a calm face.

On the main road. The autumn rain was dotted, gradually covering up the noise just now.

At the foot of Yan Mountain, the great man looked at the drizzle.

"Chief!" Wang Ruilin entered the door. Shouted softly.

"Ruilin," the great man's eyes were still looking out, "why are you so strong?" I've retired, why do you have to be by my old man's side? ”

"Chief, I'm used to it." Wang Ruilin's temples showed his white hair slightly, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Maybe you are not used to it in the army or in the locality." ”

"Well, I don't even know what to say about you." The great man finally retracted his gaze: "That's what you said, that's what Baozhong said." Even Xiaoqu said the same. ”

"Xiaoshan's kid once said that his grandfather was always talking about the past, and he said that his grandfather was old."

"Now. I also often think about some old things, does this mean that I am already old? ”

"Chief, you're not old!" Wang Ruilin smiled slightly: "Lao Zhang told me that your current body seems to be getting younger and younger. Sometimes more agile than the young people of us. ”

"What do you say? Are you still young people? The great man laughed: "All my life, I have heard others tell me some lies." Did you even start saying that? ”

Seeing that Wang Ruilin was about to speak, he took out a cigarette with his left hand and pressed down with his right hand.

"Seventy doesn't matter what's three, eighty doesn't matter, that's what we say in our hometown."

"In ancient China, people often said: 70 years old, 80 years old. I was born in 1904 and this year is 1987. At the age of eighty-three, he is an old man. ”

"So many years. I am thinking about how to contribute a little bit of my heart and soul to China's prosperity and strength. ”

"Fortunately, we have done the right thing about reform and opening up, and the form is getting better and better."

"That's all your wisdom!" Zhang Baozhong didn't know when he also walked in.

"I just said Ruilin, you're coming to put a high hat on me too?" The great man lit a cigarette with the lighter lit by Wang Ruilin: "I finally retired this time and did not hold any official position." ”

"Chief, I haven't been able to figure it out," Zhang Baozhong's personality is much less restrained than before: "Why do you tolerate Ping Lao everywhere?" ”

"That's it," Wang Ruilin also helped on the side: "He said that he would retire after the age of sixty, and immediately set an example, staying in southern Guangdong and eastern Guangdong Province for a long time, and even picking up the burden assigned to him to set things right." ”

"What kind of bastard are you talking about?!" The great man took the lighter from Wang Ruilin's hand, lit a few points on the table, and made a tuk tuk sound.

First of all, he was not wrong to say this. As people get older, this energy is not as good as before, and I have long felt it. ”

"But at the same time, I saw that the country's leadership was in decline, so I wanted to help them get on the horse."

"It's just that we're all people who don't like to explain, and there's a bit of a misunderstanding in the middle."

"Secondly, and most importantly. If you receive the grace of a drop of water, you should repay it with a spring. ”

"Do you know what the Red Army was like back then? was surrounded and intercepted by the troops of the Kuomintang, and he was panicked like a lost dog. ”

"We always say that it is because Taizu turned the tide at the Zunyi Conference."

"I am a party to the case, and I can be regarded as a witness to history. No matter how great the power of one person is, can he create zΓ o history? ”

"Zhidan, Zichang and Lao Ping raised a team in a barren place and kept the flame of revolution."

"It is precisely because of their territory that our Red Army has a place to stand, and only then does it have the opportunity to gradually grow."

"So, in a way, he is our out-and-out benefactor, a life-saving grace!"

As the old man said, he was older, and after talking for a long time, his spirit was a little weak, and he sat down.

"But, Chief." Wang Ruilin licked his lips.

"Say," the great man closed his eyes as he sat down just now, and opened them slightly: "What is there to say in front of me?" Am I that terrible? ”

"This time you have retired, and the other comrades are still holding important positions." Zhang Baozhong and Wang Ruilin have worked together for so many years, and they know what their comrades-in-arms want to say.

"Even General Xu went to the Military Commission to serve as the chairman," Wang Ruilin sang and sang next to him: "Of all the leaders, only you really retired." ”

"The body is the capital of the revolution," the great man said, taking a puff of his cigarette and exclaiming: "These comrades are younger than me." The body is better than me. ”

"Do you think Monk Xu is not qualified enough? Exactly wrong, not because of his temper, his position should be on the next level. ”

"You guys. Still too young. Don't really think that Lao Xu is a rough person? Miss by a mile. A veteran in the army, almost no one has a bad feeling for him. ”

"Under the rugged appearance, there is a delicate heart."

"Look at these new generations, which one is not involved with him? Liu Taimeng, Chen Haosu, Luo Dongyang, Zhang Haogu, Wang Yongxing, Xiao Jun, Cao Xueyou, who dares not to listen to him? ”

The two people next to each other looked at each other with a wry smile.

"By the way, I used to be in charge of those things in the Military Commission. All handed over to Monk Xu's side. The great man breathed in his cigarette and walked towards the study next to him.

"Chief, there doesn't seem to be anyone on General Xu's side?" Wang Ruilin questioned.

"Look at you!" The old man didn't reply: "I just said don't underestimate Monk Xu." Do you really think he has no talent under him? Only you are the best? ”

This sentence can be regarded as a reproach, leaving the two people to look at each other.

Zhang Ji donkey meat is burned, there is no private room, only the lobby. There are two dishes on the eight tables: stewed pig's trotters and donkey meat. There is a bottle of liquor in front of each seat.

With the arrival of Liu Taimeng, it was officially opened.

"Fuck," Luo Dongyang took off his military hat: "There are still too few people in our mountain brigade in the capital, and one of the eight tables is empty." ”

"What about me?" A rough voice sounded, and Xu Shiyou, who was dressed in military uniform, pushed the door in.

"Commander!" All of them stood up almost at the same time.

"Sit down the, what are you doing for Lao Tzu?" Xu Shiyou walked quickly to an empty table.

Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the car was parked in front of the door.

Just now, Xu Shiyou's car found a place to stop from a distance.

He doesn't like umbrellas. The military caps were all wet.

"Commander!" Liu Taimeng, Chen Haosu and Luo Dongyang came behind him together.

In a moment, the hat is taken off. Those who take coats take coats, and those who move chairs move chairs.

"What about Mei Xiaolin? Why didn't that puppy day come? Xu Shiyou sat down with a golden knife, his eyes glaring: "Did you not notify or did you notify?" ”

"Commander, we're sure he's got the news." Luo Dongyang said without hesitation: "I don't know why he hasn't come yet." ”

Due to Wushan's reminder, in this world, Xu Shiyou is not only alive, but also in good health.

"If you don't come, you won't come, he doesn't recognize his background in the Huacheng Military Region, and Lao Tzu shouldn't be Lao Tzu's soldier." Xu Shiyou waved his right hand lightly, as if he was chasing flies.

"Where's Wushan?" He shouted at the top of his voice, "Why can't you come here, little rabbit?" ”

Seeing this tall young man walking in front of him, Xu Shiyou glanced blankly: "What's wrong?" The pestle is in front of Lao Tzu, which means that you are taller than Lao Tzu, right? ”

"Uncle Xu, isn't it?" Wu Shan sat down with a smile and brought the wine by the way.

"Leave it here for Lao Tzu!" Xu Shiyou hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Chief, my aunt said let me look at you." Tian Guanghua whispered in his ear.

How good are Wushan's ears? I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this.

Where is this? Tian Guanghua is from eastern Guangdong, Aunt Tian is from Taishan, two people who can't fight together with eight poles, and they are actually commensurate with aunts and nephews.

"Laughing at what?" Xu Shiyou slapped the table angrily: "It's that Lao Tzu doesn't want to drink." ”

"Brother Tian, be accommodating." Wu Shan sneered and poured wine for the old man: "Today, we are all in the mountain brigade back then, as the commander of the Huacheng Military Region, Uncle Xu should have a drink." ”

"Brother, what you said is too foreign," Tian Guanghua smiled: "Auntie is afraid that the chief will drink too much and be harmful to the body, so it's okay to drink a little in moderation." ”

This guy is quite good, among the people around Xu Shiyou, he is the last to enter the army, and he is currently the closest one.

"Where's Jing Dalin?" Xu Shiyou shouted: "Come over and accompany Lao Tzu." ”

"Chief." Jing Dalin originally felt that he was not mixing well and hid in the corner, but he didn't expect to call his name in the second one.

"Don't be that broken official," Xu Shiyou pointed to the opposite seat: "Lao Tzu has just served as the chairman of the Military Commission, and there is no one around to call him, so let Lao Tzu return to the army." ”

Wu Shan smiled bitterly on the side, Old Man Xu was still like back then, and he didn't talk a little muddy. (To be continued......)
