The 87th Episode (24) Returning home

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, on September 30th, Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua received a notice that the headquarters was going to hold a 'banquet' in the Great Hall, and asked them to prepare well and enter with documents at 6 o'clock in the evening.

A radish and a pit, the security check at night can be described as much stricter, not only male soldiers, female soldiers also have to meet the inspection, Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua are stepping on the point, as soon as they walked into the Great Hall, they found that there were all tables placed here, because when they entered the door before, the security personnel gave them their seat number, and the two easily found their respective places to sit down.

The 'delegation to visit Beijing' that came to the capital was not only one from the Northern Xinjiang Military Region, but also from almost all the major military regions, and there must be at least as many as 1,000 people; Guo Kaishan's next table was Guan Jianguo, and Liu Xuehua was arranged to a very distant position.

The food in the Great Hall is really unpalatable, although it looks good, the dishes are like flowers, but once you import them, it is difficult to swallow, the original hot dishes are now cold, Guo Kaishan just drank a few sips of liquor, sandwiched a few mouthfuls of cold dishes, and the meaning is just that.

"Don't move after eating, let's go to the other hall to take a group photo!" An officer with a huge lens in his hand, the camera was the normal size, but the lens was surprisingly large, the size of a basin, and I saw him telling him table by table, and I was afraid that I would forget to tell anyone.

A group photo, in a formation for more than two hours, Guo Kaishan kept yawning, Liu Xuehua stood with a sad face, several times, she wanted to leave early, but people stopped her, and finally she stood back in her original position, bent over, waiting for the arrival of this group photo.

At the front of the line, there was a row of chairs. 'Chief' was written on red paper, and Guo Kaishan said to Guan Jianguo beside him, 'It seems that this big chief doesn't need to stand up in advance for rehearsal. ’

"Of course, who made the family the chief, if you were replaced, you would have been in a formation for two hours before taking pictures, but fortunately I didn't eat much, you look at the few on the side, especially the fat man with glasses." He has run out several times, maybe he is strained,' Guan Jianguo's vivid expression caused everyone nearby to laugh, Liu Xuehua thought she was laughing at her, and looked at Guo Kaishan with big eyes, Guo Kaishan waved his hand to her, indicating that he was not talking about her.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the chief finally arrived. What everyone didn't expect was that the No. 1 head of the headquarters, who had not appeared for a long time, took the lead in the front of the chief's team, after everyone's thunderous applause. Chief Number One stood in front of the microphone.

'Comrades, you have worked hard, I know that most of you are standing impatiently. But there is no way, formalism kills people! 'The size of the number one chief, which is one meter six. But his voice, the strong smell of the Sichuan accent, made everyone laugh more than once, and his originally tired body was now very upright, for fear that the chief would see that there was something wrong with him.

The No. 1 leader made a downward gesture with both hands, and everyone stopped laughing, "Today is a good day, tomorrow is the National Day, comrades are from combat positions in all directions, I heard~~," The chief's words were spoken for more than ten minutes, but this real person, who could only see images on TV, has now become a living person, and everyone doesn't feel tired when they stand.

Some people say that it is too strict for the rank of rank, but I say, not necessarily, today, in front of the big guys, the headquarters will award the rank of major general to ten officers under the age of 40, and the following will be read out by the third order of the headquarters, everyone is welcome! ’

Everyone didn't get this program beforehand, but they didn't expect that the group photo turned into a title ceremony, when the ten combat hero commanders who walked down from the old mountain, put on the clothes of generals, and walked into the venue, they ushered in thunderous applause.

Sun Wang shook his little short legs excitedly, "It's a, I know, good things are always not my turn." ’

Guan Jianguo smiled and whispered to Sun Wang, who was above him, "Old platoon, everyone is at the level of the chief, you are the head of the regiment, and you have to work hard in the future." ’

"Well, fight, I'll fight when I go back, don't make a person, don't know me, this major general brand is too eye-catching, one day, I have to put on a piece," not only Sun Wang, almost thousands of officers present, all have the same idea as him, Guo Kaishan is the same, originally thought that his 'lieutenant colonel' was out of line, but what I didn't expect was that the general officer could also break the rule, after a burst of light military music, the ten young generals and the head of the headquarters took a group photo, and then it was their turn.

The group photo was finally over, Guo Kaishan looked at his watch, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, but the ceremony was not over yet, in the various halls prepared in advance, the head of the headquarters had to meet with the members of the 'Beijing delegation' one by one.

After standing for several hours, this time there was finally a seat, Liu Xuehua leaned back against the sofa and said, "Today can be regarded as making me miserable, more tired than I have to do several major surgeries in a row." ’

Guo Kaishan was still recalling the scene of the young generals conferring titles at this time, the age of these ten generals was not more than forty years old, and they were a few years older than him, but they were already big leaders, and the consciousness of dreams made Guo Kaishan very intoxicated, which made Liu Xuehua, who had always interacted with him, very angry.

'I talked to you, why didn't you respond.' ’

'What did you say?' ’

"You're stupid, I said I'm tired, what time is it, and I can't come yet, it's really a waste of time," Liu Xuehua's woman's mentality lies in the fact that she doesn't sleep more than ten o'clock every day, and the later she sleeps, the older the woman is, and she doesn't want to see these headquarters heads, the reason is that she knows all these leaders, and it's useless to see them.

After a while, when the No. 1 head of the headquarters walked into the hall, everyone stood up to welcome, and the chief shook hands with these people one by one, and when he shook Guo Kaishan's hand, the leader of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region introduced, "His name is Guo Kaishan, and he is a first-class combat hero. ’

What Guo Kaishan didn't expect was that when the No. 1 leader walked in front of other people, he only shook hands, but when he came to him, he spoke, "Guo Kaishan, I know you, you are a controversial figure, young and promising, you really live up to your reputation, do you have a younger brother named Guo Kaiqing!" The thick Sichuan accent, although he spoke quickly, Guo Kaishan could also understand it.

"Yes, my fifth brother's name is Guo Kaiqing, chief, do you know him? Guo Kaishan's excitement couldn't be expressed, and he didn't let go of his hand at this time when he was still holding it with the chief.

Of course I know, you and your younger brother are people who have contributed to the country, the country will not forget you, in the military history, you have also written a stroke, I have seen your deeds, yes, both civil and military, I hope you will pay attention to learning in the future, as you grow older, the burden will become heavier and heavier! ’

'Thank you for your concern, I will definitely strengthen my studies after I go back, and I also wish you good health!" Looking at the eighty-year-old appearance of the No. 1 leader, who is still so sensitive and vigorous, Guo Kaishan's words of blessing came from his heart.

'Thank you,' Chief No. 1 let go of Guo Kaishan's hand and shook hands with others.

During the period of turmoil, there were people who went to the capital in the countryside of City A to engage in 'tandem', and some people were also received by the leader, and after shaking hands with the big leader, they returned to their hometown and did not wash, and they 'offered' every day, and Guo Kaishan who returned to the guest house was the same, he regretted not bringing a single-card tape recorder with him, and recorded the words of the No. 1 chief, and did not sleep well for two consecutive nights, which made him have dark circles under his eyes.

is about to return to the old army, because Guo Kaishan's things have not been bought, Liu Xuehua is also very anxious to come to him, as soon as she sees him, she thought he was sick, "What's the matter, I haven't seen him for two days, why is he so thin." ’

Guo Kaishan looked at his face in the mirror, "I'm excited, no way, I've never been like this before, I don't know how, I'm not sleepy at night." ’

'Smack! Liu Xuehua went up and slapped Guo Kaishan is ears buzzing.

"If you don't leave, it's too late, you haven't bought anything yet, you've forgotten about the big thing," Liu Xuehua picked up Guo Kaishan's neck collar and walked out, only she could rescue Guo Kaishan from his fantasy.

The 500 yuan given by the group, Guo Kaishan bought it as a special product of the capital, what kind of things such as 'donkey rolling', 'Jingcheng brand cigarettes', etc., were enough to fill a bag.

Liu Xuehua was very puzzled and asked, "You just buy it for the leaders of the group, and others don't buy it?" ’

"I can't take it, I don't buy it, and others don't lack it, so they can buy it themselves," finally tied the travel bag, and Guo Kaishan completed the task of purchasing.

In the activities in the capital, no one will announce the matter of Guo Kaishan's questioning by the chief, everyone knows very well in their hearts that it is better not to say this, and it is inevitable that Guo Kaishan will steal the limelight again, just like that, Guo Kaishan's matter, only he is happy, and others will soon forget it.

The approval slip of 500 yuan was exchanged for a whole table of things, and the political commissar of the engineering regiment expressed satisfaction with Guo Kaishan's "meeting to do something", and when he asked Guo Kaishan how many leaders he had met, Guo Kaishan did not tell the political commissar of the regiment about his situation at that time, and he only understated it.

'Political commissar, you have nothing else to do, I want to go to the small factory to have a look, I don't know how they are doing after the previous few orders,' Guo Kaishan's main business is now a small factory, and he doesn't care about it for a while.

'Go, go, yes, it's like they're gone. ’

'Quit? How so? Guo Kaishan ran to the small factory in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he saw that the female workers were playing poker, and the machine tools had stopped running. (To be continued......)
