Chapter 11 Staying at Uncle's House Meet Commander Xue
At noon on the fourth day, Peng Daxiao took his nephew into his current home.
The two guards did not enter the courtyard. I said a report to Peng Daxiao outside the courtyard gate and went back to the barracks directly.
It's a mansion in the city, it's not very big, but it's very suitable.
A small three-storey western-style building with a separate courtyard. The courtyard is full of potted plants, and a few blooming flowers emit a faint fragrance.
The lady was dressed in a light blue cheongsam, neat and clean, with long black and shiny hair, draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her face was not smeared with grease and powder, friendly and beautiful. She held her little girl, who was only six or seven years old, followed by her teenage girl, and greeted her down the steps with a smile.
"I'm back, I'm drinking hot tea in the living room, just brewed." A simple greeting contains intimacy.
"Well, Qiu Ju come here, Dad hug one." The youngest daughter, Qiu Ju, opened her little hand and threw herself into her father's arms.
"This is my brother, called Chuanbo. Stay with us in the future. Let's call my brother. ”
"Brother Chuanbo." The little girl was not shy, her big eyes were fixed on Chuanbo, and she screamed crisply.
"Sister Qiu Ju is good." Chuanbo responded to Qiu Ju with a smile.
"Hello aunt, I'm Chuanbo. Please look after me in the future! "When I arrived at my uncle's house, the etiquette was to be taught.
"Hehe, Chuanbo is a rare guest, come up, don't stand in the yard, sit and talk in the living room."
The family sat down in the living room.
"Qin Yun, do you remember my sister's twin sons? This wave is that small. I took him out to see the world through some wind and rain, and then he mixed with me. Peng Daxiao introduced Chuanbo to his wife.
"Of course I remember, when I was young, I was cute, but what about the big one?"
"I went to train with his master Langzhong, and I should have come to our side, but I didn't get in touch."
"Oh, Chuanbo, this will be your home in the future, don't see outside. These are your two younger sisters, Chunmei and Qiuju. ”
"Sister Chunmei is good." Chunmei, who had been sitting quietly next to her, heard Chuanbo greeting herself, and hurriedly said, "Brother, hello, with brother, we will be more lively in the future." "Chunmei is delicate, quiet, with a white shirt and a blue skirt. She was studying at a church school, not far from here, and today happened to be a holiday, so she was also at home during the day.
I drank hot tea and ate an apple that my aunt had peeled.
His aunt took Chuantao to see the accommodation arranged for him. "This is your little world, and I won't participate in your own arrangements in the future. Are you satisfied? ”
"Satisfied. I live with my brother at home. ”
"Huh, huh? Then you're the only one living here, so you can do it yourself as you like. ”
"Thank you, aunt!"
"It's time to eat, let's all go to the restaurant to eat."
The dining room is right next to the living room.
A family of four, no, now five, sat around an oval dining table.
The cook, a fat aunt in her fifties, quickly delivered the dishes that had been prepared long ago to the table one by one.
"Chuanbo, this is your own home, you don't have to be polite in the future, let alone be restrained, and live like when you were in your hometown." My aunt was afraid that this kid would come for the first time, and she was not used to it for a while, so she admonished.
"I will, aunt."
Catch the wind and wash the dust, there must be a lot of rhetoric outside, but at home this set is all free, just start directly.
When Chuantao came out of the restaurant after eating and drinking, his uncle had already sorted out his clothes.
"I'll go to the barracks for a while. I haven't been here for many days, so I have to go and take care of my face, and go home for dinner in the evening. After speaking, he stepped on the war horse in the courtyard and went straight to the direction of the barracks.
As the sun sank westward, Peng Daxiao drove home in his car.
Chuanbo is admiring a bonsai in the yard. These plants were something he had never seen before, beautiful and delicate.
Seeing his uncle come back, Chuanbo greeted him and took a small bag in his hand.
I only heard my uncle say as he walked: "The contents of this bag are for you to bring back." Your uncle is a soldier, and you have to be a soldier. ”
Chuanbo took it to his room and opened it to see a brand new military uniform, a small pistol and a holster.
Change into a military uniform and walk to the living room.
"Heh, the temperament of this person in a military uniform is really very different, and he is a lot more arrogant." Uncle's comments are militarized.
"Haha, is Brother Chuanbo our family guard? How nice it would be to send me to school in the future. Chunmei laughed and teased.
"Nonsense, wearing a military uniform, it's really manly." My aunt seemed more pertinent.
"Brother, when you become a soldier, you have to stand guard every day." The little cousin Qiu Ju said seriously.
Peng Daxiao looked at Chuanbo who was wearing a military uniform and said, "Just wear this clothes, and go around the camp with my uncle tomorrow, so that my soldiers can see how heroic my little nephew looks." ”
The next day, Chuanbo and his uncle went to the Xishan military camp.
Everything is in order here. The sentry stood straight at the gate of the barracks and saluted Peng Daxiao.
Walk through the huge lawn and there is the headquarters in front of you. There was a platoon of sentries on duty in front of the door of the headquarters. The military salute made Chuanbo feel very imposing.
Peng's office is on the second floor, occupying half of the entire second floor.
A huge sand table in the hall, filled with small red and green blue flags.
Chuanbo has been following up with Peng's office.
"Sit down on that couch for a while." Peng Daxiao said to Chuanbo.
"Report." "Come in." The correspondent brought two cups of hot tea on a plate, one on a heavy and wide desk in front of Peng Daxiao, and one on the coffee table in front of Chuanbo. Then he took out a folder from his briefcase and put it in front of Peng Daxiao. Peng Daxiao opened the folder, flipped through the documents inside, grabbed the brush on the table, drew a few circles, a few ticks, and wrote a few lines, then closed the clip and handed it to the correspondent.
The correspondent turned around and left, and Peng Daxiao plated in front of Chuanbo.
"This is tea from Jiangxi, it's very good, try it."
Chuanbo picked up the cup, followed the example of his uncle just now, and took a small sip.
"It's a little bitter, and the green flavor is very strong." Chuanbo said.
"This thing doesn't feel bitter when you drink it for a long time, and it tastes full of fragrant, relieves fatigue, refreshes your mind, and is a holy product in drinking."
"Oh, I've been drinking it every day since then."
Seeing Chuanbo sipping the cup of tea there, Peng Daxiao walked to the desk again and shook the phone on the table.
"Pick me up Commander Xue." Putting down the phone, he also picked up the teacup, and tasted the tea without taking a sip.
Within minutes, the phone rang.
Peng Daxiao picked up the phone: "Report to the commander, Major General Brigade Commander Peng Daxiao has returned from visiting relatives." ”
"Hehe, it's not hard, it's not hard......... It should be, it should be...... The commander is too face-saving for me, how can I afford you to take the wind for me...... Obey, see you at two o'clock in the afternoon, Chaoyang Tower. ”
Peng Daxiao put down the phone and said to Chuanbo: "Come with me to the reception banquet organized by Commander Xue in the afternoon, okay?" ”
"Chuanbo obeys my uncle's arrangement."
"Well, good boy, all the people I saw in the afternoon were big figures in the military circles, so be polite. I'll get you a suit to change into later. ”
At one o'clock, the correspondent brought a small suit, Peng Daxiao closed the door, and said to Chuanbo: "Just change your clothes here, and the military uniform will be placed on the sofa, and someone will clean it up later." ”
Chuanbo changed into a suit in front of his uncle.
Peng Daxiao tugged at Chuanbo's body, looked carefully at Chuanbo's appearance in a suit, and finally smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, put on a suit like a foreign scholar, worthy of my sister's child." Ha ha. ”
Then open the door. shouted: "Correspondent." "Here." "Inform the guard squad and prepare the car to go to Chaoyang Tower." "Yes."
turned around, changed into a suit, and pulled Chuantao down the stairs.
The car is at the door, already waiting for the car.
Peng Daxiao and Chuanbo sat in the back row, with the driver and guards in front.
Peng Daxiao said: "Chaoyang Tower, let's go." The car started steadily, out of the barracks gate, turned east and west, and stopped in front of a luxury restaurant half an hour later, above the gate "Chaoyang Building" three golden three-dimensional characters shining.
Getting out of the car, Chuanbo followed closely behind his uncle, who had already been received at the door, and took his uncle and nephew into a spacious restaurant on the second floor.
After sitting down in the designated seat, Peng Daxiao pulled up Chuanbo and stood up, bent down to some people in Tang costumes in their forties across the table, and said, "Thank you Commander Xue for picking up the wind for me." The kid next to me is my nephew, named Hao Chuanbo, who was brought out of his hometown this time. Please take care of Commander Xue in the future! ”
Commander Xue's eyes were attentive, and he stared at Chuanbo for a long time, only to see that Chuanbo's heart was a little hairy, and Commander Xue suddenly laughed: "Haha, it's still a child." But this kid has good concentration and looks energetic. ”
"The children in the mountains have never seen the world, and they are smiling." Peng Daxiao said respectfully.
"Children in the mountains? How many of us are not children from the mountains? The children in the mountains are intelligent and simple, studious, loyal and straightforward, and have the qualities of a soldier. "I didn't expect Xue Lao to have a different insight into the children in the mountains.
"Commander Xue is high, high! Ha ha. Peng Daxiao agreed in his heart, and he was not completely praising the commander.
"I brought him out this time, just to borrow the care of the generals to cultivate this child well, and maybe he will be a useful material in the future." Peng Daxiao dug the bottom.
"The child is not very old, fifteen or sixteen years old at most. I have a proposal to send me to the military academy to study for a year and a half, and then arrange for him to do things. I don't know what Daxiao thinks? ”
"Commander Xue has everything in his belly, and everything is arranged by the commander."
"Alright, alright, that's it. Three days later, it was sent to me, and I sent someone to escort me to the military school. ”
"Thank you, Commander Xue." Peng Daxiao originally meant this in his heart, and he had achieved his goal, so he naturally thanked him.
"Thank you, Commander Xue!" Chuanbo also followed his uncle's example and accepted Commander Xue's arrangement.
"Haha, it's a trivial matter, don't be so polite. Isn't it still my soldier when I come out of the military academy, so don't have so much etiquette in my own family! With a wave of his hand, "Someone is coming, serving wine and food, and picking up the wind for General Peng, who has returned from a distance." As soon as he said hello, the waiter who was waiting quietly in the restaurant immediately took action, and in an instant, a table full of wine and food was served.
"Come on, come on, let's do this first!" Commander Xue was arrogant and took the lead in raising his wine glass.
Chuanbo replaces wine with tea, and no one has an opinion if children don't drink.
During the banquet, you persuaded me to respect, so it was not lively, so I didn't say more.
It wasn't until dusk was approaching and the sun was sinking that Commander Xue announced that Xi was going home.
Chuanbo helped his uncle, who was a little weightless when walking, and waved goodbye to Commander Xue and the generals who accompanied him. The guard hurriedly ran over to catch it and helped him into the car.
Without returning to the barracks, the guards drove them directly to their homes and then went back to the barracks.
