When he saw Liao Hanxiang standing outside the room, Tan Renhao put down the documents in his hand. He didn't mean to embarrass Liao Hanxiang and his fiancée Liao Yingyu, he was just very depressed. After joining the army for a few years, Tan Renhao never thought about the issue of death, and he didn't even think about any death-related issues. Liao Yingyu suddenly mentioned that he didn't just feel depressed, but more often than not, a kind of confusion.

"Come out for a walk with me!"

Liao Hanxiang looked at Tan Renhao for a moment, and then nodded to Hao Dongjue and other staff officers in the office.

"I'll go pack my things first."

Tan Renhao didn't refuse, and after speaking, he turned around and walked back.

"What is General Ren Hao Liao here for?" … Mobile station bsp; Hao Dongjue asked softly, and he felt that Liao Hanxiang and Tan Renhao's expressions were a little wrong.

"Talk to me about something."

Tan Renhao smiled reluctantly: "Okay, you deal with these documents first, hand them over to the chief of staff as soon as possible, and don't forget to contact Shaoqing and them." ”

"I know it's really okay?"

"Of course it's okay, what are you worried about?"

Tan Renhao patted Hao Dongjue's shoulder: "I won't come in the afternoon, arrange the staff officer on duty in the evening, and you can also take a good rest." ”

Hao Dongjue nodded, and then watched Tan Renhao walk out, he always felt that Tan Renhao had not told him anything.

Liao Hanxiang and Tan Renhao were not in a hurry to speak first, and the two walked until they walked to the garden outside the headquarters building, and then walked towards the corner where a bench was placed. Several nearby staff officers saluted immediately when they saw the two generals and walked away quickly.

"Sit down!"

Liao Hanxiang sat down first, and then took out a cigarette. "Renhao, you should know that Xiaoyu is unintentional."

"I know I don't blame her."

Tan Renhao took the cigarette and immediately lit it, "Actually, I only blame myself." ”

Liao Hanxiang patted Tan Renhao's shoulder. "I told you about me and Xiaoyu and her mother before. Actually, I think you're a bit extreme right now, and you're always striving for perfection. But there is absolutely no such thing as perfection in this world. ”

Tan Renhao smoked silently, he felt that there were several gongs ringing in his head, which made him feel that his head was swollen and painful.

"At your age, I haven't met Xiaoyu's mother. At that time, I thought the same as you, hoping to become a great imperial general, a peerless general who led thousands of troops and horses to establish immortal feats. ”

Liao Hanxiang looked at Tan Renhao, who lowered his head. "When Xiaoyu's mother left. I get a point. In this world, there are many more than the general's rank, peerless fame and immortal achievements that are more worthy of our pursuit, cherishing and protection. For example, our relatives and the family we have built with our own hands. ”

Liao ...... Father-in-law, this ......"

Liao Hanxiang pressed his hand and said: "I regretted it at the time. Because while she was still around. I'm not a good husband, I'm just a good soldier. But a good soldier is not the same as a good husband. So. I later loved my two children very much, and I felt that I owed them a lot, so I want to be a good father even more now. Yes, I don't deny that any emperor is shouting the slogan of fighting for the empire, but are we fighting for the empire, but for our own relatives and families? Slogans are used to motivate people, they are used to boost morale. But the real thing we are doing is for our loved ones. Fight for those who care about us and who care about us and who are always thinking about us. ”

Tan Renhao raised his head, he had heard Liao Hanxiang talk about these things before, but now it sounded different.

"When I knew that you were in love with Xiaoyu, I treated you as my own son."

Liao Hanxiang squeezed Tan Renhao's shoulder hard: "I'm telling you these things in the hope that you can realize this." And I hope you can avoid the mistakes I made. When you put on your military uniform. You have the duty and responsibility to fight, to shed blood and sacrifice for the Empire, to be a good soldier. In the same way, when you propose to Xiaoyu, you also have the obligation and responsibility to take care of this woman you love and love you to be a good husband. You are very smart, you should know that these two roles are not contradictory, maybe being a good general is important and difficult, when to be a good husband, why is it not important and not difficult? There was an ancient man who once said that if you don't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world. In the same way, if you can't even be a good husband, how can you be a good general? ”

The body shook slightly, and Tan Renhao suddenly woke up. Liao Hanxiang's words got to the point, he had been wandering between the two of a soldier and a husband, always thinking that he could only play one role, and now he suddenly understood that the two could go hand in hand, as Liao Hanxiang said, the two are not contradictory, as a successful man, he must not only be an excellent general, but also a good husband.

"I've always been ...... when you're your age"

"Father-in-law, I have something to do."

Tan Renhao immediately stood up: "I'll come back for dinner in the evening, and I'll pick up my father in the afternoon, so I'll leave the matter to you." In addition, Xiaoyu's side, I will give her a satisfactory answer, you help me stabilize her first, and I will come back before dinner. ”

Liao Hanxiang was startled, and by the time he stood up, Tan Renhao had already run away. Then Liao Hanxiang laughed, he had always believed in his own vision, when he recruited Tan Renhao to the Fifth Fleet, when he saw this young man for the first time, he believed that his judgment was not wrong.

"General, where are we going?"

Du Xing was killing time with a few adjutants when he was dragged out of the adjutant's lounge by Tan Renhao.

"You go and pick me up here in five minutes from the drive, I'm going to pick up something."

Before Duchenne could answer, Tan Renhao ran up the stairs.

When the door was pushed open, several staff officers in the room raised their heads in surprise, and then Hao Dongjue saw Tan Renhao rushing in.

"What is General Ren Hao Liao looking for you?"

Hao Dongjue immediately walked over.

"It's okay, I'll go to the city now, and any of you have money to lend me a little."

Tan Renhao rummaged through the drawer for a long time and found a few hundred yuan of living expenses. Usually, he has no opportunity to use money at all, eats, smokes, and drinks tea, all of which are provided by the army, and he does not need to pay for it at all.

"I have a thousand ...... here"

"It's not enough. Which of you has extra money? ”

Tan Renhao took the stack of banknotes that Hao Dongjue took out, and then looked at the other staff officers: "Lend me for emergency first, and I'll return it to you tomorrow." ”

Soon, a group of staff officers came out with a few thousand yuan, and Hao Dongjue also went to other offices to borrow a sum of money from another staff officer, and finally came back with 20,000 yuan for Tan Renhao.

"Is it enough. If it's not enough, I'll borrow it from someone! ”

Hao Dongjue had long been familiar with other officers in the General Staff, and borrowing money was a trivial matter.

"It's probably enough, I'll pay it back tomorrow."

Tan Renhao smiled and patted Hao Dongjue's shoulder: "Okay, you guys are busy first." ”

Hao Dongjue smiled and nodded, this money is a trivial matter, and he will not take 20,000 yuan to his heart, but he doesn't understand what Tan Renhao is borrowing money for.

An hour and a half later, Tan Renhao rushed to Zhoushan city with Du Xing. The jeep drove straight outside a jewelry store before stopping. It was also the only jewelry store in Zhoushan that was in a very depressed business due to the war. The boss is about to close his doors.

"General, are you going to buy a ring?"

Duchenne only then realized that the neighboring country was coming, and then he smiled innocently.

Tan Renhao smiled and nodded. "Wait outside, wait, we'll go back and try to get home before dinner."

"No problem, you go in, I'll wait for you outside."

The wind chimes by the door woke up the dozing boss, and when he saw that it was a naval admiral who walked in, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. "General, do you need any help?"

"Boss. I want a pair of wedding rings with diamonds. ”

"Wedding rings? Is this the best wedding ring for me to use yourself? ”

Tan Renhao nodded, this boss is a bit nonsense.

"This way, please!"

The boss immediately took Tan Renhao to the glass counter inside, "There are all wedding rings here, and they are all high-grade diamonds imported from South Africa to ensure that they are genuine." ”

"Boss, is this a little too small?"

Tan Renhao frowned. They were all very ordinary diamond rings, not the kind of diamond rings he imagined that would make women go crazy when they saw it, "Is there a bigger one?" ”

"This ......"

"Boss, don't you think I can't buy it?"

"No, that's not what I meant."

The boss immediately laughed, "You wait a minute!" ”

Tan Renhao nodded, he knew that these jewelers would hide the best, and the ones on the counter were all ordinary goods. When the boss went into the back room, Tan Renhao glanced at Du Xing outside the door, and a few minutes made him feel like hours had passed.

"General, this pair of rings will surely please you."

As soon as the curtain was opened, the boss walked out with a smile, still holding a pair of brocade boxes with rings in his hands. "This is something I have never been willing to sell, and the last time a big customer came to ask me, I didn't sell it. You are the general of the empire, and we little people rely on your protection to have a stable life now, so I will no longer hide treasures today, if you want......"

"How much?"

As soon as Tan Renhao saw the pair of rings, he knew that this was what he needed.

"This ......"

"Make an offer, I'm not going to bargain with you."

Tan Renhao smiled and took out the banknote: "Don't worry, our army has rules, and we must not take advantage of the people, you are also a businessman, I can't let you do business at a loss." ”

"General, you're smiling."

The boss hesitated for a moment and said: "The diamonds of this pair of rings are all excellent natural diamonds, you have also seen this very rare red diamond on the women's ring, if you sell it to others, it will cost at least 50,000 yuan, since it is a general, buy 30,000 yuan." ”

Tan Renhao was shocked and had to secretly sigh that the cost of marriage was so high.

"Actually, it's already very cheap, and I'm two twenty thousand eight less, which is even lower than the cost."

The boss also saw Tan Renhao's embarrassment.

"Okay, it's twenty-eight thousand, but it's ......."

Tan Renhao put the banknote on the counter, "There are only 20,000 here, if you believe me, then I will send someone to send 8,000 tomorrow." ”

"This ......"

The boss looked very embarrassed.

"General, I still have five thousand."

Duchenne walked in, and he stood outside the door from the beginning, "I originally wanted to send it to my family after entering the city, you should carry it first." ”

"How good is this, this is your sister's tuition, right?"

"It's okay to send money two days late, you need it urgently."

Duchenne put the money on the counter.

Tan Renhao glanced at Du Xing gratefully, and then said to the boss: "The boss is still three thousand, I will leave you an IOU, and I will send someone to send it tomorrow, if you feel unsafe, then I will let the adjutant send the money at night, how about it?" ”

"This ......"

The boss still looked a little uneasy, after all, three thousand yuan is not a small amount.

Tan Renhao hesitated for a moment, and then took out the general's official card he carried with him. "This is my major general's certificate, you can take a look at it first, if you don't worry, I will hold the document on your night, how about letting the adjutant take the money to get it?"

As soon as the boss saw the general's certificate printed with Phnom Penh (all soldiers have identity documents, among which the general's ID card is inlaid with a circle of gold Penh, which is very easy to identify), the boss was immediately relieved.

"General, there's no need for this, if you need it urgently, take it first!"

The boss put away the money on the counter, "It's never too late to send the money when you're free." ”

"That IOU ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, can I still not trust the Imperial General?"

The boss's attitude has changed 180 degrees: "You shed blood and sacrificed on the front line to protect us, and I have never had a chance to thank you." If I want the general to issue an IOU, then am I not doubting the Imperial Navy? General, please, I also wish you a happy marriage, good health, and your wife growing old together! ”

Tan Renhao didn't say much, and walked towards the door with the boss. "Boss, thank you so much, I'll send an adjutant to deliver the money in the evening."

"This ......"

"The army has rules, and I can't violate them."

Tan Renhao was also very grateful, "Thank you so much for your help, I also wish you a prosperous business!" ”

After successfully getting the ring, Tan Renhao immediately called Du Xing and returned to the Zhoushan headquarters. Maybe the owner of the jewelry store was a little too enthusiastic, but Tan Renhao clearly felt that during the war, the soldiers became heroes in the hearts of the people, heroes who defended the empire and protected the people.
