The sea breeze blew lightly across the sea, and Wu Shan watched the sunset from the bow of the warship. Originally, he was going to go directly, but he was pulled by General Xu Shiyou into General Xue Jinguang's car.

The two old generals are seventy years old, and they don't see each other often, so they will fight the bull together, and they have to drink the other down. Wushan couldn't stand the spicy taste of liquor, so he came out to breathe.

It seems that the two old men are still quite good, and they were sent to the base by the guards at night, and they were relieved overnight. Old Man Xue looked polite and polite, very tough, it is said that last night Old Man Xu lay down first.

Maybe I couldn't stand the pain of parting, so I left early in the morning without saying hello.

Old Man Xu sulked in the restaurant alone, and as soon as Wushan entered, he said, "Yo, isn't this Uncle Xu who is invincible in our drinking?" What's wrong? Lost last night? ”

"Hmph, that old boy, can you drink me? That's for him. ”

In fact, it is also possible that the old man himself was born in martial arts, and he was seen boxing on the field in front of the hotel on the window of the room just now.

"Uncle Xu, Brother Jianjun is going to Yanhuang, maybe we can't take too much care of him, everything depends on himself. The company has the company's rules and regulations. ”

"It's okay, there's nothing to do," the old man waved his hand arrogantly, "If you take someone's bowl, you have to obey someone's family, and if you dare to pull anything to me, I'll beat him to death." Kid, Jianjun has left here, and I want to transfer the aid to the DPRK, but after he came, his military rank was the lowest, and I was annoyed. Lao Xue didn't have any good ideas. ”

"Aid Korea?"

"My third son, the eldest son served in Lao Xue's army and returned to my hometown. Xiaoshan, do you think I'm a qualified father? Da'an, that is, Xu Guang, my eldest son, is one of the first batch of naval officers and excellent ship captains with a bachelor's degree in my country. But I asked him to go back to his hometown, take care of his grandmother, and do filial piety for me. ”

Although he disagreed, seeing my painful expression, he agreed to go back to the local army. I can't forget the look in his eyes when he looked at the ship as he left. Xiaoshan, I am not a good son, I was not with my mother when she died. It's not a good father, who sent his children to the army, whether they wanted it or not. Uncle will not say anything about the words of thanks here, Jianguo is indeed not suitable for the army, he has a detached personality, and he likes money, if it weren't for others to see my face, I wouldn't have caught it a long time ago. ”

Wushan couldn't have imagined that the rugged old General Xu outside was so delicate. has a vicious eye, and he is worthy of being a general who uses soldiers like a god. In the original history, Xu Jianguo was taken shortly after the death of the old general. Fortunately, Wushan got him to Yanhuang, not only had a good relationship with the old man, but also avoided imprisonment for Jianguo. Wushan is not easy to answer, you can't say that your son will be arrested in a few years.

"What's next, little one?" The old general quickly came out of his memories.

"Uncle Xu, I want to go to Jingshi first, visit the great grandfather and then go home."

"To Jingshi?" The old man shook his head. "Child, although you call me Uncle Xu, my grandsons are about the same age as you, and some issues are not fully considered. Your Uncle Xu has an upright personality and doesn't beat around the bush with you. Jingshi, I don't want to go and I don't dare to go. The current power over there is too great, and it almost controls the entire Jingshi, which is not something you can break through now. Let's just go home. I will contact Lao Liu, you can go back directly by military plane, and let them send military vehicles where there are no planes. ”

Seeing that Wushan was about to refuse, the old general patted Wushan on the shoulder, "This is not a privilege, we have contact at any time, and there are often planes passing by, besides, you brought so many things to the family, how to go?" ”

In the cold wind, Wushan said goodbye to the old general. He took off his military hat and waved constantly. The gray hair shines brightly in the sun. The guards followed Wushan to the airport, followed by two grass-green trucks.

I got on the plane at the airport of the Huacheng Military Division, this type of model should have been imported when I was friendly with the so-called big brother country, probably T154, and it was very noisy.

Wushan didn't sleep well last night, didn't rest much, and couldn't sleep in a daze on the plane. Fortunately, it took less than two hours to reach the civil airport in the Yixian area. The plane had to continue to fly to Chengdu.

The local garrison should have received a call from Commander Liu Xingyuan of the Rongcheng Military Region and sent two trucks to wait at the airport. The pilot opened the hatch, Wushan stepped off the plane, and a squad of soldiers ran over to Wushan, and the squad leader shouted "Lizheng, look to the right, look forward, take a break, stand up!" ”

Seeing Wushan's immature face, the squad leader was very surprised, but he still saluted a military salute: "The third squad of the armed police squadron of the Yixian Military Subdivision reports to the chief, please instruct." ”

Wu Shan hurriedly returned a military salute, "Comrade squad leader, hello, please bring down all the military supplies on the plane." ”

Soldiers, uh, I'm sorry, there was no difference between the clothes of the armed police and the army at that time, and Wushan couldn't tell the difference.

Everyone unloaded the things and loaded the car, Wushan waved goodbye to the pilots, and asked them to bring a thermos cup to Cao Xingyu at Rongcheng Railway Station.

Yixian Airport is not far from the city, and you can go directly to Kai County.

Wushan wanted to go and see Uncle Qin's lover Luo Xianxian, after all, he was in trouble when he came. When the car arrived in front of her door, she was overwhelmed by the fright, and the neighbors around her also poked their heads out. The army, at all times in our country has always been synonymous with mystery.

Wushan hurriedly jumped out of the cab, Luo Xianxing saw it, and called out in surprise: "You are not that one"

"Wushan, Luo Xian is good. I came back from Flower City and brought you a scarf, I hope you like it. ”

Luo Xian took it happily, and said in her mouth: "Then how embarrassing, I and Lao Qin have done something, on the National Day."

Waiting. Thank you, Wushan. What about your second father and father? ”

"They're in the Huacheng Military Region." Wu Shan said, taking out ten yuan from his pocket: "I'm sorry, Luo Xianxian, when you had a happy event, we didn't know how to come back without knowing it." ”

The poked out heads around gasped. In this era, the purchasing power of ten yuan is not simple, and you can buy three pieces of Kajibu clothes.

"No, no, no, your courtesy is too heavy." Wu Shan stuffed it into her hand without saying anything, and took out a thermos cup from his travel bag, "I don't know that my Uncle Qin is married to you, so this cup will be handed over to you directly to him." ”

After speaking, Wushan got into the car without waiting for her to reply, closed the door, and said goodbye to Luo Xianxian.

She proudly put on her scarf and showed off her hand and waved to Wushan until she couldn't see it.

It was only 10 o'clock when the car arrived in Kai County, and there were no guests in the state-run hotel.

As soon as the two military vehicles stopped, chickens and dogs jumped again, and the waiter hurriedly wiped and wiped several tables in a hurry. Someone went to call the manager Zhong Xiaofa, he arrived in less than ten minutes, and the dishes were not served. Rubbing his eyes with his hands, when he saw Wushan, he immediately stared at him: "Xiaoshan!" ”

"Hello Manager Zhong, we went to Huacheng from Jingshi. My elders stayed there, and I came back first. ”

Glancing at the soldiers all around, he asked in a low voice, "Together?" ”

Wu Shan nodded, pulled the squad leader who was driving over, and introduced Zhong Fatzi: "This is Zhang Xianghong, the squad leader of the Yixian Military Division, a person from Taishan Province. This is Zhong Xiaofa, the manager of the hotel. ”

The two people shook hands warmly, and the fat man said loudly: "A table with a small stir-fry, I have a treat." ”

Stir-fried is a local specialty, which is actually stir-fried fresh pork with cabbage. As he spoke, he took Wushan and squad leader Zhang and walked inside.

"Your aunt and uncle are both soldiers? Huacheng Military Region? ”

"Clever!" Wushan gave a thumbs up.

"It's amazing, I just joined the army and became an officer, at least at the level of the head of the army, or else we can transfer our squad leader Zhang?" Zhong Xiaofa's face was full of envy.

Zhang Xianghong has been in Bashu for a long time, and he can understand Bashu dialect and smile honestly.

Wu Shan acquiesced, took out two packs of Chinese cigarettes from his travel bag, and threw them to the fat man and the squad leader.

Zhong Xiaofa didn't pay attention to the cigarette, stared at the travel bag in a daze, and his eyes widened again: "Foreign trade? My uncle, hey, I didn't tell you, the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, went to Beijing a few years ago and brought one back. I begged many times but didn't give it to me, and I got moldy at home every day. ”

Wu Shan smiled, asked Zhang Xianghong for the key to the cab, opened the car door, and came in with an empty travel bag. "Here you go! ＂

"That's embarrassing! How much? "Just open a worn-out leather wallet.

"If you give me the money, I'll take it back."

"Okay, I'll accept your gift, and I'll recognize you as a little brother. You are a real person, as long as you need your fat brother for anything in the future, say it. As he spoke, he picked up the enamel jar, poured it full of wine, and drank it in one gulp.

Wu Shan looked at the fat man, this person is sleek and does not lose his duty, especially his memory is good, maybe he can use it.

thought about it: "Fat brother, what level of education do you have?" ”

"I didn't graduate from high school, and then I went straight to work."

High school, in this era, there are already high-level intellectuals in small counties.

"In this way, the New Year is almost over, and if you come directly to Wu County after the New Year, I really have something to look for you."

"Well, it's settled. Anyway, there is nothing to do during the New Year. This should be after the fifteenth day of the first month to work, and I will come to your house on the fifth day of the first month. By the way, you still don't know the way, do you? Qin Sanqiang is the deputy captain of your Wuxian convoy, the driver who took you to Yi County last time. He got married. Lao Qin, this person, it's very good, he was born as a soldier, the daughter-in-law in front,"

He lowered his voice, "It was said that the director of the revolutionary committee of that district in his mountain city slept with him." He was still a company commander in the army, and he took a group of brothers to abolish that kid. His daughter-in-law also threw herself into the river, but this little Luo is really good. I heard that Lao Qin was then transferred to the Yixian County Public Security Bureau, and the person in the army, Niu B. ”

"It is said that the current Xiao Luo was almost given that by someone, and it was Lao Qin who saved him. The other party also has a lot of background, and later that person was also sent to our Kai County, and Lao Qin went to your county to drive. This kid, put down... Our county, picking... Choose... Pick up the dung, I'm tidy, what's the matter! ”

Wu Shan was stunned in his heart, this person was righteous and stabbed a knife in his friend's ribs.

"Oh? I really don't know anything about this. ”

Didn't hear back? I'll go, this kid will pour a jar of wine? Having said that, this enamel jar wine is almost a catty. As for it, so excited, isn't it just a travel bag? Wu Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Zhang Xianghong ate silently and did not drink. After eating, push the cigarette to Wushan.

"Just take it, a pack of cigarettes."

"I don't smoke."

"Don't smoke to your superiors, are you entertaining guests? Alright, I'll be angry if you do this again. ”

Zhang Xianghong smiled embarrassedly, put the cigarette in his pocket, and carefully looked at the closed door.

There are no three sunny days, and the ground is not three feet flat.

This is a portrayal of Qianzhou Province. In fact, this is also the case in Wu County. In fact, the entire province of Bashu, except for the Rongcheng Plain, is hilly.

Between the mountains, there are some small rivers, constantly impacting, forming small basins, and the locals call these dams. The most famous ones in Wuxian County are Yangqiao Dam, Tian Dam, Jitou Dam, Horseshoe Dam, Xujia Dam, and small dams are everywhere.

The county seat of Wuxian is located at the end of the Horseshoe Dam, at the confluence of the Baiyang River and the Daning River. In the dam, the roads are flat, and once you reach the mountain, it is a winding mountain road.

Closer, closer. Wu Shan was so excited that his breathing was a little short, and he watched the car whizz past from Modou City to the forward bridge leading to the county seat.

The suburbs of the city were planted with vegetables according to their father's plan, green cabbage, green cabbage, coriander and garlic seedlings, all of which kept nodding to Wushan.

In the machine factory, the workers are busy. In fact, as soon as they entered the scope of Wu County, the farmers were busy planting potatoes in their own fields, with hearty smiles on their faces. Everywhere there was a scene of labor. The epoch-making package production to the households, and the state-owned enterprise reform was not completed in the previous life, and these Wushan have become the initiators.

Thinking of this, Wu Shan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

"Comrade Wushan, is it uphill or on the ring road?"

"Let's go uphill."

When they arrived at Ximen Station, Wushan jumped off the train, and the soldiers also jumped down.

Wu Shan felt a little guilty in his heart, for his own affairs, these soldiers were frozen in the back of the tow in the winter.

Although there were tarpaulins on them, they were all wearing cotton clothes and canvas military shoes, but their hands were red from the cold.

Wu Shan beckoned the car behind him to open the tow bucket and asked them to help take down all the gifts for Wu Liquan's former colleagues.

He is still in the United States, and the gifts are all prepared by Wushan.

Anyway, each man has a thermos cup, and each woman has a scarf. I don't know how many people there are in the road, Wushan has prepared 500 sets of everything, and brought them back to the colleagues of the eldest father and the second father, and the parents have to give the same to their colleagues and neighbors.

There were some ticket-buying passengers waiting to leave tomorrow at the station, watching the military vehicles in the distance.

I didn't know anyone here, so I went to the ticket window and asked, "Is Deputy Captain Qin of Runyi County here?" I am the nephew of Ng Liquan. ”

When the conductor heard this, he didn't care about selling the tickets, and immediately ran out of the hall and forgot to close the door.

went up to the second floor, and his voice was really not small: "Deputy Captain Qin, Director Wu's son is looking for you, and he is Wu Liquan's nephew." ”

Huh? Does this girl know my daddy? There is a case! Wu Shan snickered.

In less than two minutes, Lao Qin ran down without the heels of his shoes being pushed. As he ran, he asked, "Xiao Zhou, where are the people?" ”

"Uncle Qin, I'm here!" Wu Shan raised his hand and asked, "Does this sister know me?" ”

"You should call me Zhou Xianxian!" Xiao Zhou's face was a little red because he was running in a hurry, and it turned even redder when he said this.

Lao Qin, with a strange look that you know, looked at Wushan and tilted it towards Xiao Zhou.

"It's better to call Sister Zhou, you see, I'm taller than you."

"Hmph, I call your uncle brother, isn't that messing up?"

Wu Shan smiled and stopped answering her words.

"Uncle Qin, that's the case, I'm not familiar with your team. Daddy is still in the Huacheng Military Region and can't come back. I've come back with a gift. Please count the number of male and female employees, so that I can give you a gift. ”

"Huh? Good boy, going to be a soldier? I have 52 men and 23 women here, do you count as retired? "It seems that Lao Qin is quite down-to-earth in his work, he usually looks careless, and it turns out that he still has two brushes.

"This," Wu Shan was depressed, and hadn't thought about this problem yet, "Let's do it together." "Anyway, I brought a lot of gifts.

"There are 89 men and 37 women."

"Take two people and carry gifts with me."

"Great!" rushed upstairs and yelled: "Those who didn't get out of the car, those who were at home all rolled down to move things for Lao Tzu, and Wu Liquan brought good things back for everyone." ”

When counting, Wushan gave them 90 cups and 40 scarves. Lost a pack of cigarettes to Lao Qin, these cigarettes were all ordered by Old Man Xu, he is a martial arts practitioner and does not smoke? Wu Shan really didn't know what to do, anyway, I didn't see him smoke when we were together. At that time, the words were loud, and I moved them casually, and when I saw Wushan moving two boxes of Chinese cigarettes, I was still grinning in distress.

Lao Qin opened the cigarette case and gave the filter cigarette to each of the three young men present. I took one out and plugged it back in. After carefully putting the cigarette case into his close-fitting pocket, he took out a box of locally produced Wuxia cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out one and lit it with a match.

Seeing this, Wu Shan found an inflatable lighter from his travel bag and handed it to him, and also gave him a bottle of gas to teach him how to inflate.

"I said Uncle Qin, don't you tell us when you get married?"

"Hehe," Lao Qin smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know where you've been." How do you know the truth? ”

"I've been to Luo Xianxian, by the way, there are thermos cups over there."

"This is also called a thermos cup? So beautiful. The thermos mugs I've seen have plastic shells. ”

"Hehe, this is for leaders." Nima, Wushan can't say that he brought it back from Hong Kong Island, it's sensitive at this time.

After greeting him for a while, Xiao Luo next to him kept asking Wu Liquan how he was now, where he was, what kind of soldier he was, when he would come back, and so on, and Wu Shan prevaricated one by one.

The soldiers had already gotten into the car, and Wushan asked them to drive the car to the gate of their grandfather's yard.

The courtyard door was closed, and Wu Shan knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I'm back!" The second father and his father were soldiers in the Huacheng Military Region and couldn't come back for the New Year. ”

Although it was winter, there were no residents around my grandfather's yard. Wushan's voice still worked, and many people from far and near opened their windows to look here.

At the sight of the soldiers and the military vehicles, the heads quickly retracted again. The military of this era is synonymous with sacredness. I'll go, there are two soldiers in the family, who dares to mess with them?

Although the eldest son has drawn a line with the family, isn't this the son of Director Wu's family?

"It's coming, it's coming!" Grandma's little feet limped and walked quite fast, and after a while she opened the yard door.

hugged Wushan and began to cry: "My eldest grandson, why haven't you come back to see grandma for so long?" ”

"Grandma, I went to school over there, aren't I coming back? There are still some PLA comrades here. ”

"PLA comrades sit in the house!" Grandma immediately wiped her tears and greeted her.

"No, no, auntie, where do you put the things?" Under the leadership of Zhang Xianghong, they have opened the trailers of both cars, and some things have been moved to the ground.

"Let's move here!" Wushan heard his grandfather's voice. Grandpa also came out, his eyes were red. He opened the door to the wing room on the right, which was supposed to be a storage room.

"A lot, a lot." Jianjun, the cousin of the big daddy Wu Licui's family, also came to join in the fun, but his speech was still not clear, and his brother was always called Cheng Duoduo.

Wu Shan hurriedly took out a handful of candy from his pocket, peeled off a gummy and fed it to him. Jianjun immediately circled around Wushan with a smile.

In less than twenty minutes, all the gifts were moved in. Wushan said to his grandparents: "Grandparents, you can eat first, and I will accompany them to the state-run hotel." ”

"Well, let's just go to the guest house of the Ministry of Armed Forces to solve it." Zhang Xianghong called the chief at the beginning, and later saw that this half-grown child really didn't know what to call it. Besides, it's embarrassing to ask the chief Wushan to promise himself, what kind of head is he?

"Brother Zhang's words are not right, we also have soldiers in our family, and my aunt and uncle are all soldiers in the Huacheng Military Region. General Xu Shiyou, my name is Uncle Xu, aren't you treating me as an outsider? Seeing that he was still going to speak: "Come on, don't you give me face?" The guest is as he pleases. Soldiers are also human beings, and they also need to eat, drink, and Lazar. Listen to me tonight. ”

After saying goodbye to his grandparents, Wushan went directly to the armed forces department with the car.

The guest house and office of the Ministry of Armed Forces are connected next door to the Ministry of Armed Forces.

Wu Shan, the political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces, had never seen him before, his name was Wu Jiahong, he was a pure soldier, and he didn't talk much.

At that moment, Wushan directly invited him to the state-run hotel, and readily agreed. The group parked the military vehicle on the training ground in the backyard of the armed forces department and came to the hotel.

The manager probably knew Wushan, and when he heard that he was going to call, he was going to call him and took him directly to the office and bedroom on the second floor.

"Dad," the phone was quickly connected, "I'm back, entertaining the comrades of the People's Liberation Army who sent me back at the state-run hotel, and the political commissar Wu of the Armed Forces Department is also waiting for you here, you and my mother can come." ”

The county itself is very small, less than 10,000 people, divided into two halves by the mountain of Ximen, and the main office area of the county is here, and there are only a few units such as the county middle school.

Parents came soon. When my mother saw Wushan, she hugged her arms and cried. Father Wu Lixing just patted his son on the shoulder and immediately shook hands with Political Commissar Wu.

The hotel manager saw that two big officials were coming, and Director Wu was not only the director of Wu County, but also the deputy director of Yi County. He stood there nodding his head and ordered the kitchen to serve the best dishes, and went to his bedroom to bring out a bottle of wine.

The soldiers all ate in the hall, and Wu Shan accompanied his parents, as well as Political Commissar Wu and Squad Leader Zhang. The state-run hotel in the small county town is like this, with only one private room.

Pouring the wine, Political Commissar Wu raised his glass: "Director Wu, you are a good official." Don't say anything, I will respect you on behalf of the people of Wu County. After speaking, he craned his neck, and drank the five-dollar wine glass.

"Old Wu, you're not right. I am the director of the Wuxian Revolutionary Committee, and it is my job to serve the people. Wu Lixing also killed it heroically.

Zhang Xianghong is here and no one pays attention to him.

Wu Shan hurriedly said: "Dad, this is squad leader Zhang of the Yixian Armed Police Squadron, and the gift I brought from Huacheng was driven back by him and the comrades outside." ”

"Squad Leader Zhang, thank you." Father hurriedly stood up and shook hands.

Zhang Xianghong also stood up in a hurry and saluted: "Chief, this is the task assigned to us by the head of our troops. ”

"Oh?" The father looked at Wushan with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Hey, I forgot to tell you, Dad. Uncle Xu Shiyou made a phone call to Commander Liu Xingyuan to arrange it. ”

At this time, the two giants in Wuxian County are not calm. Only the ignorant mother kept looking at her long-lost son, and she didn't hear what Wushan said at all.
