After inspecting various itineraries in Shanghai, Chen Zeyu rushed to Port Arthur on the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula on 19 January.

After spending about half a month visiting the living conditions of the demobilized soldiers in the entire northeast region and the agricultural reclamation construction of the local production and construction corps, Chen Zeyu spent about half a month.

In last year's campaign to expand the army of the Republic, Chen Zeyu except for the original officers and men who had retained a certain base in the army and who volunteered to serve as the backbone, most of the remaining officers and men of the army who had gone through the Luzon War of Independence and the Mainland Liberation War were all arranged by the Ministry of Defense to be included in the list of retired soldiers. Among them, a considerable number of retired officers and soldiers have obtained considerable land in the northeast region because of their previous military exploits, and have settled here. Over time, many of them have married and had children in the area, and they seem to have made the Northeast their second home.

On this day, Chen Zeyu came to one of the representative Oriental Junkers families.

On January 23, 1898, Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, Liujiabao in the eastern suburbs.

The Great Khing'an Mountains shield the cold air from Siberia from the north, acting as a natural barrier. It stands high on the dividing line between China and Russia, separating the two countries, bounded by vast coniferous forests at high latitudes to the north and rich and vast green fields to the south.

Scattered with meadows and pastures separated by fences across the endless countryside, Chen felt as if he had stepped into a natural picture of a cornfield in which a worker was herding some stolen cattle and sheep back to a nearby fence.

"Is this the one?"

Among the green fields that cover the line of sight, a beautiful manor covering a wide area has come into the eyes of Chen Zeyu and others.

The accompanying secretary replied affirmatively, "Yes, Führer! You shouldn't be able to go wrong. ”

"Good! ……”

Before he finished speaking, a familiar figure in front of the manor had already made Chen Zeyu walk over.

"Liu Jinyi! You're having a good time! Haha-"

"Yuan ...... Monarch! Salute! Stunned, the young retired officer looked at the approaching face in disbelief.

Although he has been retired for more than half a year, it is clear that the long-term military style has not retreated from this young retired officer.

"Hahahaha! Don't be restrained, I'm just here today to take a look at my old comrades-in-arms! Haha-"

Chen Zeyu waved his hand, hugged the former officer in front of him again, and said affectionately.

"Führer...... Everyone, come in! ”

As he spoke, the young man excitedly led everyone into his manor......

Chen Zeyu and his entourage of government personnel walked into the manor, wandered around, looked east and west, and looked around.

From the inside, the whole manor is bigger than expected, the stone structure of the manor is also beautiful, the house design is extremely exquisite, and it looks very bright when you walk inside.

"Little Army! Come! Call the Führer! …… Jingyi! the kids!! Come here......"

"Okay, okay, it's just a full moon! Such a big baby, you let him shout a fart! Yo yo yo, this little one! Unexpectedly, Liu Jinyi, actually let you take a step ahead, you are all a father, you are still a big fat boy, hahahaha - congratulations! Did you get a name? ”

Chen Zeyu hugged the doll in the shaker and said with a smile, Liu Jinyi, who was listening to it, knew silly music.

"Hey...... Thank you, the head of state, the name of the doll was given by my father-in-law, called Liu Bujun! Hehe, I want to have two more! ……”

"Hahahaha-"

"Hahahaha-"

Liu Jinyi was originally the captain battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Republic Army. As early as the War of Independence, he had followed Chen Zeyu's side to fight in the north and south, and in the Manila campaign commanded by Chen Zeyu, he served as the commander of the guard battalion to protect Chen Zeyu, and the two sides established a brotherly and iron-blooded comradeship in the war.

"Jingyi! Come here...... Call the Führer! ”

"Hello Führer!"

The timid hostess looks good-looking, she is a small jasper, but she looks a little shy.

"Hahahaha! Okay, you are my brother's wife, that is my Chen Zeyu's brother-in-law, just call me Brother Chen! ”

Chen Zeyu said a word, and everyone who followed him instantly looked at the young couple in front of them with envy on their faces, and to this day, everyone knows what it means to be favored by the young man in front of them in this country.

"Brother Chen!"

Under Chen Zeyu's gentle smile, this young woman named Ye Jingyi finally let go of her emotions a little.

"Hey! Hahahaha - this big brother can't let you scream for nothing! Come! ”

Chen Zeyu said as he took a set of gift boxes with exquisite packaging from the guards next to him and handed them over.

During this trip to the Northeast, Chen Zeyu actually prepared such a gift for every military family he visited. The gift box is filled with a set of gold jewelry and a pair of calligraphy works written by Chen Zeyu himself, the content is all the same, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance four Qin seal characters - "Oriental sword", the year logo is readily available, as for the former, it is prepared for the military family in front of him.

"Brother Chen...... This...... How can this work? ”

"Let you take it, you will take it!"

Chen Zeyu deliberately straightened his face, so that the young woman had to take it in his arms.

"Hahahaha! That's right, I didn't catch up with your wedding with Liu Jinyi, so I should make up for this! ”

"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Ye Jingyi shrank behind her husband a little shyly.

Liu Jinyi rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Führer, how embarrassing is this!" ”

"Excuse me! I was also a soldier! Now obey the order and take it from me! ”

Chen Zeyu, who had long been aware of Liu Jinyi's vein, simply gave an order.

"Yes, sir!" In a positive salute, Liu Jinyi is still the former soldier.

"Haha, good! That's right! Oops, it's not good, it scared our little master to cry, look at you!! ”

The full-moon baby in Chen Zeyu's arms was not really frightened by his father, he snorted twice and sprinkled a soak of boy urine on Chen Zeyu.

"Hahahaha-"

"Hahahaha-"

In the joyful atmosphere, Chen Zeyu changed his coat with the help of the guards while crying and laughing, and at the same time asked the former captain of the guard battalion in front of him to introduce the current situation at home to his group.

"The situation at home couldn't be better, more than 10,000 acres of land, where did I dare to think about this before!"

Liu Jinyi belongs to the type of person who doesn't want to die in battle, and it is extremely common to take the lead in charging. Because of the successive wars in the middle of the great feats, especially in the 1895 Shanhaiguan Battle, he was the first to break through the enemy's position in the case of many wounds, captured the famous Qing army general Liu Mingchuan, and after the war, he was especially commended by the Ministry of Defense, plus later with the Miao Lekang's Seventh Army made several meritorious achievements, the former army battalion commander set a record of military exploits even more than many brigade-level officers, in the Ministry of National Defense's merit record his combat exploits are enough to rank in the top 30, is a rare tiger general.

Therefore, after the war, Liu Jinyi received the most generous reward from the government of the Republic, in addition to the 12,000 acres of land at the northern foot of Harbin, the government also gave the former officer a deposit reward of 750,000 yuan, which was worth enough to buy two medium-sized grain processing factories or a large silk reeling textile factory.

Chen Zeyu asked, "Seeing that there are only five or six laborers in your house, including housekeepers and workers, can you keep so much land busy?" ”

"It's okay! More than half of the land I have contracted to the state-owned company, and the remaining 5,000 acres I am basically busy enough, and the family has just sent a telegram to my parents in the south, and in two days the parents and brothers at the head of the family will come! In addition, the family has just bought two diesel tractors imported from Nanyang, and if the family is really busy, it is not impossible to get it! At most, hire a few more workers to help you during the harvest......"

Liu Jinyi still said happily, talking about the past days in his spare time, he still seems quite nostalgic.

"Oh, what about last year's land revenue?" Chen Zeyu asked with interest.

Liu Jinyi scratched his head, and finally asked his wife for help, "Hmm...... Daughter-in-law, how much money did you collect at the end of last year? ”

"Haha, this is the first one, huh? Why is it that all of them are called by their wives, hahahaha-"

Chen Zeyu teased, and everyone around him was happy.

"Hahahaha-"

"Hahahaha-"

"Doesn't this all say, the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist? I'm learning from everyone. ”

Liu Jinyi said embarrassedly while pouring tea for everyone.

"Hahahaha-"

"Hahahaha-"

"Hey, you are not allowed to bully our old Liu!"

Liu Jin's daughter-in-law, Ye Jingyi, who gradually let go, also became generous, and happily relieved her husband on the side.

"Hahahaha, Liu Jinyi, Liu Jinyi, your daughter-in-law is good, marry the right one! Hahahaha-"

The more Chen Zeyu watched, the happier he became, and the people around him also slapped the table and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha-"

"Hahahaha-"

Ye Jingyi endured her shame while leaning on her husband and said crisply, "Brother Chen, counting the rent given by the state-owned company last year, the family has a total income of almost 60,000 yuan. The main thing is that the land in the north is leaning on a mountain forest, and Lao Liu is reluctant to cut it, otherwise the income can be more. ”

"Hmmm! It seems that it is better to ask the hostess directly to stand up! Chen Zeyu shook his head and said, and everyone was happy again.

"Hahahaha, isn't it!"

"That's right! Ha ha! ”

"Hahahaha-"

Chen Zeyu continued to smile and asked Ye Jingyi, "What are you planting at home?" ”

"Well, it's mostly winter wheat and corn! The old Liu in the family is a southerner who loves to eat rice, and the family has specially cultivated a small amount of rice fields. The hostess replied unhurriedly.

"Hehe, that's the right planting," Chen Zeyu turned to Liu Jinyi and said, "Your daughter-in-law knows that it hurts, don't look at the cold climate in the northeast, in fact, the advantage of growing rice in the black soil is no worse than in the south!" Although you can't grow double cropping rice like in the south, the quality of the rice produced here is the best! ”

"Brother Chen, you know so much!" Ye Jingyi listened to the other party praise herself again, and said sweetly with joy in her heart.

Chen Zeyu smiled and said, "Well, these are all things I learned in school when I was a child. Brother and sister, when your children grow up, they will be sent to school, and they may know more than we know in the future! ”

"Hmmm! Brother Chen, I remember! In the future, I will definitely send Xiaojun to the best school to study! The hostess replied.

It is not difficult to imagine that with this dialogue between the two today, the children of the Liu family who will grow up in the future will enjoy a wealthy family every day, and at the same time, they will definitely receive the resolute first-class education and training of their parents.

"Hey! Führer, I've thought about it a long time ago! As soon as Xiaojun grows up, I will send him to the military academy, and he will be the same as me in the future! Be a Republic Officer under the Black Hawk Army! Liu Jinyi said with a serious expression at this time.

"Good! Be ambitious! Liu Jinyi! I'm waiting for your kid in Beijing!! ——”

Chen Zeyu turned around suddenly, his eyes shining brightly. The army officer, who had long since retired, also looked at the head of the republic in front of him uncharacteristically at this time, and raised his hand in a military salute with a solemn expression......

Coincidentally, the two sang the former army war song "Lightning Force Forward" together-

"There was a tense atmosphere in the air, the big war was coming, tears were running down the mother's face, and the Motherland was behind her!

The footsteps of the enemy army were gradually heard in the distance, the earth was trembling, it was time to defend justice, and the blood was already surging!

Lightning tore through the load-bearing darkness in the distance, look! It's the Blitzkrieg on the march!

Whether it's a storm or a snowflake, or the sun smiling at us.

Hot days, cold nights, dusty faces.

But we're having fun, we're having fun!

Our troops kept moving forward, accompanied by puffs of dust.

When the enemy army is revealed, our whole army roars forward!

The value of our lives is to fight for our glorious motherland!

Dying for Seris would be the highest glory! ——

With the thunderous sound of cannonballs, we rushed like lightning towards the enemy!

Forward with your comrades! Fight side by side!

That's the power we can inflict on our enemies!

In the face of the enemy's so-called barrier, we give contemptuous ridicule!

Hidden in the long yellow sand is the enemy's artillery fire.

We will march on the road to victory with the sound of cannons!

If we are abandoned by the goddess of fate, if we can't return to our homeland from now on!

If a bullet ends our lives, if we are in danger!

Then we will feel the supreme honor! ——

The value of our lives is to fight for our glorious motherland!

Dying for Seris would be the highest glory! ——

The value of our lives is to fight for our glorious motherland!

Dying for Seris would be the highest glory! ……”

In the midst of the passionate battle song, at some point, the baby boy who was sleeping soundly in the young woman's arms opened his big shining eyes......
