Chapter 819: Family (2)
Although Li Ziyuan said that he didn't want to recognize his father, what kind of person was his father. Although as a soldier, he is a loser. However, in the Sichuan army, the warlord who fought in the war, and the kung fu of digging the walls was more important than the guns, and he had long developed a cunning character.
In fact, Li Ziyuan's troops just passed through their hometown. knew that his son, who had always been ignored back then, had not even looked at it squarely, and did not take it seriously after his disappearance, became a military commander and came back with the troops. Li Ziyuan didn't recognize his third brother, and his third brother didn't recognize him.
But his third brother didn't recognize him, but that doesn't mean that others didn't recognize Li Ziyuan. When Li Ziyuan went to school here in his early years, a classmate who is now a middle school teacher in his hometown took a day off in Li Ziyuan's military headquarters in the county seat of his hometown, and happened to live in their house.
Although he didn't dare to come forward to say hello, he still recognized Li Ziyuan after all. After Li Ziyuan left, he talked to the old man about a senior PLA official who lived in their house, who seemed to be the fifth elder of the Li family back then. At that time, Li Ziyuan's cheap father was moved in his heart. Li Ziyuan's classmate's character, he is still clear, and he will never tell lies.
If Li Ziyuan, a classmate back then, said that it was not feasible, then the old concierge who had followed his father for decades made Li Ziyuan's cheap father even more certain. The old porter was his protector. It is because he is reliable that he has always stayed by his side. He could disbelieve anyone else's words, but the old porter's words had never been doubted.
The old porter, who had served in Li Ziyuan's house for decades, also recognized Li Ziyuan in an open-top jeep when he went to the street to buy vegetables and met a crowd welcoming the People's Liberation Army. People are old spirits, ghosts and spirits, this old porter who was born in Li Ziyuan's father's guard, his eyes are more poisonous than his third brother.
Li Ziyuan's jeep was moving quite slowly because of the welcoming crowd. Give the old porter plenty of time to take a closer look at the familiar-looking man in the car. After confirming that the person in the car was the fifth young master who had stayed at home with him and disappeared after the Red Army came, he hurriedly ran back to report the news.
The eldest young master became the Central Army back then, but after being sent to the southeast battlefield of Jin, he never returned. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the eldest lady was studying in Beiping, and there was no news about her next. The rest of the young masters and young ladies, some of them went abroad and never returned. Some of them followed the Nanjing government and have now been transferred to Taiwan.
In addition to the third young master who has nothing to do and only stays at home as a housekeeper, plus her husband is a regiment commander of the Sichuan Army and has been widowed since she died in the Anti-Japanese War. There are no other children around the master. If the fifth young master also comes back, won't there be one more person by the master's side?
Although this old porter who has experienced almost everything in Li Ziyuan's family, he also knows that the fifth young master did not suffer less in this family, and he may not still recognize his father. But no matter what, blood and bones can't be changed. Especially now that the fifth young master is followed by a group of guards, this position should not be small, maybe the past will not be taken care of.
Later, Li Ziyuan led the team to suppress the bandits, and it was also this old man who was interested in improving the relationship between father and son, and after learning that the People's Liberation Army was coming to the house, he specially opened the four doors. It's just that he didn't expect that Li Ziyuan would wander around outside the door and leave. At that time, the old man was sitting in the foyer facing the main entrance of his home.
When Li Ziyuan was dangling outside the door for a while, he saw it clearly. Several old servants in the family who had seen Li Ziyuan back then were also called by him to identify them together. Although Li Ziyuan's appearance has changed a lot over the years, he still has scars on his face. But the older people get, the better they like to remember the past, and the better their memory is.
Li Ziyuan didn't go in, but although the old servants in the family didn't look at him back then, most of them recognized him. It's just that when the old man saw the fifth son, he didn't enter the house when he got to the door, and even moved out of the house. Only then did he know how much resentment his son had against this family.
After Li Ziyuan commanded the troops to start the anti-bandit operation, he has been paying attention to his fifth son, who has never looked at him before. From the methods of the People's Liberation Army to suppress bandits, as well as the proclamations that covered the name of this fifth son, he saw that his son was definitely not a good man.
At least that ruthlessness, no matter how much he is a child, he is far inferior. He is also a veteran of the Sichuan Army, although he is a frustrated person in the warlord melee, he is also a soldier anyway, and he has also become the commander of the major general division of the Beiyang government. But it was not awarded by the Sichuan army itself, and no one recognized the major general when he left Sichuan, and the old man still has this military vision.
Li Ziyuan's current operation against bandits is not only a means of military deployment, nor the speed and efficiency of troop movements, but also a two-pronged military-political means of simultaneous military and political solutions. and the last killing of a hundred examples, killing a group of monkeys to show chickens plus cutting grass and roots, Rao is this old man is also a soldier, and he can't help but say that he did it really beautifully.
But until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, she had been studying in Xiehe, and she had never contacted her family, and she thought that her eldest daughter had encountered an accident and came back to visit her family. He learned that his eldest daughter was not only alive, but also joined the Eighth Route Army in North China. The most important thing is that he learned from his eldest daughter what Li Ziyuan has experienced over the years.
Such a young child followed the Red Army to climb snow-capped mountains and cross grasslands, and almost did not starve to death in the grassland. Even so, he never looked back, which shows how much this son hates this family. He is a little child, if he really becomes a deserter, who can embarrass him?
He had also seen the wounded and sick of the Red Army who had been captured, and the veterans were all quite their bones, and almost none of them had given in. Sometimes he couldn't believe that the tattered army he was wearing like this could break the siege of more than 100,000 people of their Sichuan army. He even thought that if he could lead the soldiers like this, he would definitely not be a loser.
But after all, those are veterans, and they have been educated a lot over there, and it is normal to be stubborn. But his fifth son, how long had he been in the Red Army at that time, and he didn't believe how much education he had received. But under that condition, he actually followed it like that. It is clear that he would rather starve to death than turn back. Only then did the old man know what this home meant to his son.
And he, the son of bean sprouts back then, was shocked three times a day in the Anti-Japanese War. The battles depicted by the eldest daughter, who was also a soldier, asked himself if he couldn't fight it. Seventy percent of the casualties of a regiment have not yet collapsed, and it is simply impossible to bring out such a force without a single means.
Faced with this son, who can be said to be brand new, the old man actually doesn't know how to get along. However, he also knows that even if his eldest daughter takes him with him, according to this son's previous attitude, not only will he not necessarily recognize him, but it is even very likely that he will be closed.
This old man, who was also once a soldier, knows that the more people who perform well on the battlefield, the more tough they are in their bones, and they would rather bend than bend. This son is already very prejudiced against this family and himself, and it is impossible to change. He could only let his superiors help persuade him, so he had the telegram when he was leaving.
He is no stranger to the military and political chiefs of the Southwest Military Region, and the commander of the 129th Division of the current Military and Political Commission, who was once his subordinate political commissar when he was in the Sichuan Army, is even more familiar. The commander of the military region was also his colleague in the Sichuan army back then.
After participating in the uprising, when he went to the Southwest Military Region for a meeting, the political commissar repeatedly mentioned this matter. The reason why he sent them a telegram was that he wanted them to help them turn around and not be too stiff. No matter what you say, you are also a person with a certain reputation in Sichuan.
If you spread the word and be rejected by your son, then your face will be lost. But after meeting, Li Ziyuan's cold attitude made him not know how to get along for a while. The extremely perfunctory meaning contained in that father's voice was not unheard by him.
And the third brother and the second sister who came with him, when they saw that their younger brother was actually the chief they had seen not long ago, they were startled at the same time. Recalling Li Ziyuan's attitude towards him when he was a child, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Li Ziyuan's third brother knew that Li Ziyuan must have recognized him at the beginning.
But Li Ziyuan not only did not recognize himself, but he did not even indicate his identity. All this undoubtedly shows that Li Ziyuan has not forgotten what happened when he was a child. After thinking about this, the two siblings looked extremely uncomfortable here. They knew that what they did at the beginning was completely different from Li Ziyun.
Li Ziyun felt pity from the bottom of her heart and felt sorry for this younger brother. When I was studying in Izukawa, I once had to take him to study together. If it weren't for the mother's resolute opposition, the father would also resolutely disagree, and it is estimated that he would have taken it away with him. And the two of them only regard him as one more person who divides the family property, or even just a wild seed.
Don't talk about family affection, but I don't even bother to talk to him. Many times, they will use him as a punching bag, or take fun of bullying him. But no one thought that after more than ten years, there was no news, and everyone thought that the bean sprouts that he died in the chaos of the army were killed by tens of thousands of horses in fresh clothes.
Recalling the experience of the year, when they face Li Ziyuan now, they have a feeling of thorns in their backs. Especially along the way, I heard Li Ziyun introduce some of Li Ziyuan's performance on the battlefield. In addition, these days, on several mass graves outside the county, the notices of the bandits who were shot were all the names of their younger brothers.
These days, the two people who are tired of watching people shoot and kill people know that their younger brother is now the master of killing people without blinking. Those who fought on the battlefield with their heads for more than ten years, even the Japanese were terrified when they heard his name. Now the bandits who are killed are bleeding like a river, and when they hear his name, they only hate the person whose father and mother have two legs, isn't that a murder without blinking?
At the beginning, he took pleasure in bullying him, but now that he kills the two of them, isn't it like pinching a chicken to death? The two of them originally accompanied their father, wanting to find some oil and water in the new government, or whether they could make a name in the new government, just like the representatives of the National Congress during that period.
