I wanted to see a magnificent 'General Building', but I didn't expect to come to an ordinary 'courtyard', and the sister-in-law of the Guo family asked as soon as she got out of the car.

"Third child, you didn't bring an errand, did you! This is the General's Building, and there is not a single guard standing guard at the door! ”

That's right, I've asked several people on the way, you look at the house number, and then look at what I remembered, right! Guo Kaishan also felt that this ordinary 'courtyard' would look like the residence of a 'great general', but Liu Xuehua told him that his address was here.

Hearing the sound of cars outside the courtyard gate, 'Commander Liu' walked out with his wife, and when he saw Guo's mother and brother, he stepped forward and shook his hand tightly, "General of the National Army, come to the humble house of one of my communist opponents, it's really Pengsheng Zenghui, Brother Liu, please in the courtyard!" ’

Brother Guo's mother didn't come empty-handed, after shaking hands with 'Commander Liu', he received a gift from Guo Kai's new hand, 'This is the local old wine I brought from my hometown Rehe, you are a communist general, there must be nothing missing at home, these two bottles of wine can be regarded as my door-to-door gift!' ’

'Commander Liu' was not polite, took two bottles of wine and looked at it, "Good wine, it is really good wine, Brother Liu, please!" ’

Although the house is old, the furnishings in the living room are very exquisite, the Guo brothers did not dare to enter the house, several people are standing in the yard, only Guo's mother and Guo's mother's sister-in-law accompanied Guo's mother and brother to go in.

"I said the third child, didn't you say that this old man is the No. 1 head of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region, how can he live in such a house when he retires, and he is still a volunteer in the Leader's Memorial Hall, this old man is really weird!" Guo Kaiwei has always been fond of inquiring about gossip, but the quasi-distinguished identity of 'Commander Liu' can't help but remind him of something, for the 'Beijing incident' at the end of the 80s of the last century, how can the people in City A not know, plus the commander of the military region to adjust the defense. It is written in the newspapers that this 'Commander Liu' is a legendary figure, and there are many rumors outside.

I don't know, I'm here for the first time! 'The wall has ears, how can Guo Kaishan not know this, in other people's places, as long as he says the wrong word, there will be a lot of trouble.

The leaders of the state level have full-time civil servants, and 'Commander Liu's family. There is only one nanny back and forth, and she is not young, it seems that she must be about fifty years old, Mrs. Liu chatted with the guests in the living room for a few words, and then came out, when she passed by the Guo brothers, she inevitably looked at Guo Kaishan in military uniform, Guo Kaishan also bowed to Mrs. Liu very politely, showing respect.

The kitchen is on the side of the wing. The sister-in-law of the Guo family is a person with vision, and when she saw Mrs. Liu walk into the kitchen, she followed in.

'No, you're a guest. If you don't feel well in the living room, I'll take you to the West Chamber,' Mrs. Liu also seems to be a frequent cook, and when she sees the sister-in-law of the Guo family, she wants to help. She stopped the guests.

"What kind of guest am I, I do this work every day, I used to be in the canteen at the beginning of the unit." You just let me do it, I'll give you a hand, more people can do it quickly! Just as the sister-in-law of the Guo family said, she was in the canteen of the crematorium before, which is not wrong, looking at the sister-in-law of the Guo family's quick movements, Mrs. Liu is no longer polite, the three women are talking and laughing in the kitchen, preparing the food of the family.

At 5:30 a.m., Liu Xuehua rode a bicycle into the yard, and the Guo brothers all knew her, so they stepped forward to say hello.

'Dr. Liu, you're off work! ’

"Yes, just got off work, you came early enough, the meal hasn't been cooked yet," Liu Xuehua's military uniform is very clean and straight, and the epaulettes of the 'colonel' are shining silver in the light of dusk, and today Liu Xuehua has a pair of myopia glasses stuck on the bridge of his nose, which may be a problem when he was studying in Japan, he has read too many books, and even this person who is not usually short-sighted has become short-sighted.

"Doctor Liu, how old are you, you don't let the unit send a car, and you still ride to work!" The sister-in-law of the Guo family also heard Liu Xuehua's voice in the kitchen, and walked out.

'Ah, it turned out to be my sister-in-law, my unit is close, and it takes only fifteen minutes to ride, I am not a big official in the unit, I am not like the third child in your family, I am sent by car everywhere! As she spoke, Liu Xuehua turned her head towards Guo Kaishan, and Guo Kaishan hadn't spoken to her since she entered the yard.

"Don't talk about me when you chat, I drive for work, I want to ride to work all day," Guo Kaishan walked up helplessly, took Liu Xuehua's bicycle, and pushed it to the corner to stop.

'Doctor Liu, I have something I want to ask you,' the sister-in-law of the Guo family, like everyone else, also doesn't know why the 'Commander Liu' family lives here.

'You ask, as long as I know, I will tell you,' Liu Xuehua took off the big-brimmed hat from his head and shook the dust with his hands, the windy days in the capital blow from January to the end of the year, there is no good time.

'You said that your father is such a big leading cadre, how can he live here?' Why don't I understand, there's not even a guard at the door, this is not a military compound, right? The sister-in-law of the Guo family whispered to Liu Xuehua, but no matter how she whispered, the people in the yard could hear it, because the yard was not big.

'Ah, you said this, this is not a military secret, I can sue you, it's like this, when my father retired, he applied to the headquarters to go back to his hometown in Jingbei to recuperate, and the dry rest house in Jingbei was arranged, and then the old man wanted to have his grandson, so he had to move to the capital, and then asked the headquarters to report, the house was to be divided, but my father didn't want it, saying that my eldest brother and sister's family were all in the capital, and their house was big enough, there was no need for this, this was originally the public property of the underground party in the capital before the liberation, My father used to work here, so he borrowed this house, he plans to leave the capital one day, and return the house to the organization, before we came, this place is a mess, it is a big warehouse, we have been cleaning up for a long time, just me and my father, aunt, nanny four people to clean up, but we are tired! Liu Xuehua said and said, not only was she not unhappy, but she also smiled, and the smile was so sweet that the Guo brothers were all drunk. ’

The host and the guests are all members of the old Liu family, maybe five hundred years ago it was still a family, two veterans over seventy years old, chatting very happily.

"Or you Brother Liu is right, in the hearts of the people in our country, there is a lack of a word of law, I am talking about the law of the law, including me Liu, in fact, can not replace the existence of laws and regulations, if you want to govern a country well, you must do things according to law, after the eldest sister scolded me in the morning, I went home and thought about it for a long time, it was really like that, if I wasn't before" Commander's words, there may be no one to give me face, in fact, what am I now, I'm also a flat-headed commoner, isn't it, hahaha! Commander Liu came into the house, first poured a cup of tea for everyone, and then apologized to himself.

"The general of the communist army, I have dealt with each other during my early years in the mainland, your army has always been straight, not around the corner, today's incident, the cause is me, but I also did not pay attention to the subsection, threw a cigarette butt on the ground, by the way, General Liu, my fine has not been paid! Brother Guo's mother felt that 'Commander Liu' was a very good person, not only invited everyone to eat at home, but also took the initiative to apologize to himself.

'Commander Liu' handed a cigarette to Guo's mother's brother, and then walked to Guo's mother's side, but Guo's mother did not stand up, just sat on the sofa and took his cigarette.

'Big sister, I know that your husband is also a veteran soldier, and you have also been a military dependent, but I can't apologize to you, because you are not from Taiwan, and there is no problem of destroying cross-strait relations, I will teach Guo Kaishan a lesson, to be honest, are you convinced? ’

Guo's mother sat on the sofa and didn't even look at 'Commander Liu', "My son, I know how to educate, if you teach him in front of so many people, it is equivalent to bringing his mother and me with you, which military regulations in your army stipulate that you also bring your son and mother to educate your son!" ’

'Commander Liu' was shocked by Guo's mother's words, and suddenly didn't know what to do, and after a long time, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, so that's the case, okay, big sister, I was wrong today, and I apologize to you, this time it's okay!" ’

Guo's mother said angrily, "As soon as your upper lip touched your lower lip, you said sorry, dare to love your official pressure on our people, what are you talking about, I don't accept it!" Although Guo's mother said this, she still stood up and took the fire from the 'Commander Liu' lighter and lit the cigarette.

'Commander Liu' has been a horse all his life, there are several wives, the previous ones are all deceased, the current wife is much younger than the old man, but the relationship with the children is still good, as soon as she saw Liu Xuehua return home, she locked herself in the house and didn't come out, she also walked outside Liu Xuehua's house and knocked on the door, 'Can I come in?' ’

'Come in, it's time to eat!' Liu Xuehua sat alone at the desk in a daze, holding a thick book in his hand, but he did not turn it.

'Guo Kaishan is not coming, why don't you talk to him!' ’

'If there's anything to say, it's coming!' ’

'I haven't seen him before, I always see you call him, and we talk for half an hour, what's wrong today, are you angry with him? ’

"No, I'm just tired, I've done too many surgeries, and I haven't rested all afternoon," Liu Xuehua was obviously lying.

'Then you don't go out, I'll call him over and talk to you, the meal will have to wait for a while, your dad called your eldest brother, my pot of soup hasn't boiled yet, and I'll start the meal when he comes! ’

After a while, Guo Kaishan knocked on Liu Xuehua's door.

'Come in!' ’

'Your aunt said you were looking for me?' Guo Kaishan also felt that it was indeed a little embarrassing to let outsiders call him over.

'If I don't call you, you won't come here yourself, what's going on?' Liu Xuehua 'conjured' an apple from the cabinet, and then she wiped it with a handkerchief and handed it to Guo Kaishan. (To be continued......)
