At this time, Leng Jidao was holding a bowl of fish and was about to go to the inner room, when he saw Commander Li standing under the shrine in a daze, his face was full of purple, and his expression was excited, and he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Commander Li, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? Let's go, let's go eat first!"

Li Qingshan saw him talking as he prepared to go to the house, and suddenly shouted: "You wait!"

Leng Jidao was startled, and the fish bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Li Qingshan's eyes were filled with tears, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Lao Leng, please tell me: The third posthumous photo on the left side of this shrine is counted, who is you? What is her name? Where is your hometown?"

Leng Jidao didn't know why he was so excited, so he replied: "Commander Li, that photo is my mother." Her old man's name is Zhen Sanni, and she is from Lanshan County, Northern Province!"

Li Qingshan's whole body trembled, and he asked again in a hoarse voice: "Please talk about it again: What is your mother's name?"

"Zhen Sanni!"

Li Qingshan suddenly turned around, faced the shrine, threw himself over and fell to the ground, kowtowed three times in a row on the ground, and let out a miserable howl like a wounded tiger: "My mother--why are you leaving--you wait for me, your stone has come to see you--why are you leaving——— my poor mother--I'm late, the child is not filial-"

As he spoke, he slammed his fist into his chest with remorse.

Leng Jidao was stunned by this sudden change, and seeing that Li Qingshan was grief-stricken, he hurriedly went up to hug him and said, "Commander Li, don't be like this!"

Li Qingshan suddenly turned around and hugged Leng Jidao's head, while constantly stroking the white hair on his head, he hissed and said, "Don't call me Commander Li, call me brother." I'm your own brother!"

When Leng Jidao just cried, he had already guessed that he might be his brother who was sold in Xishan County, but it was still a little hard to believe this unexpected good news in his heart. It wasn't until Li Qingshan hugged his head and asked him to call his brother that he was sure that the three-star general in front of him was his own brother who had been separated for sixty years, and he couldn't help but hug Li Qingshan's neck, and the two brothers cried together.

At this time, the old chief, Sneer Xiaotian and the others all heard Li Qingshan's cry and walked out of the house together. I saw Li Qingshan and Leng Jidao hugging each other, crying so loudly that they couldn't stop calling "brother" and the other kept calling "brother", and they both understood what was going on.

With tears in his eyes, the old chief walked over and pulled up the two brothers, and said, "Come, stand up! Don't cry! Today's reunion of your brothers after 60 years is the greatest joy and happiness in the world, and everyone should rejoice and rejoice, right?"

Li Qingshan and Leng Jidao stood up and wiped the tears from their faces.

Li Qingshan said to the old chief emotionally: "Chief, today is the saddest and happiest day in my life. Sadly, I finally found my mother-in-law, but her old family has been dead for many years. Although I expected this to be the case, it was still difficult for me to accept my mother's posthumous image, and I was glad that I was reunited with my own brother, and I finally had my own brother-in-law! Otherwise, I would retire in the future, and I would not even have a relative to walk around!"

At this time, Sneer Xiaotian also walked over with red eyes, and shouted Li Qingshan a "uncle", and tears flowed down.

Li Qingshan took him into his arms, stroked his head lovingly, and sighed: "My wife and I only have one daughter, and now we are married, and she is also a girl. Good boy, you are the only male among the descendants of our Li family! Uncle didn't expect me to have such a good nephew as you! Hehehe, the Li family has a queen!"

At this time, Li Qingshan's guards suddenly came in and reported: "Report Commander: Comrade Xiong Can, commander of the Mingguang Military Division, and Comrade Cai Jiwu, political commissar, have come outside and are waiting to meet the commander!"

Li Qingshan waved his big hand and said impatiently: "You tell them: I have something to do now, and no one will see me, let them go back where they came from!"

The guard was just about to leave, but Leng Jidao hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You tell Commander Xiong and Political Commissar Cai to invite them to sit at the neighbor's house next door, and Commander Li will invite them to come in and meet later." ”

The guards didn't dare to say what he said, and looked at Li Qingshan, waiting for him to speak.

Leng Jidao persuaded: "Brother, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, people rushed over from Mingguang City, and they also respect you like this, don't live up to their kindness." Wait a minute, leave them behind, treat them to a meal, you talk to them, they're happy, you're happy—isn't it, brother?"

The old chief also said: "Qingshan, your arrogant and fiery temper has to be changed. I also don't like people under me to curry favor, but I also have to distinguish between situations. It's the Chinese New Year, you have come to Mingguang, and the two of them, as the commander and political commissar of the Mingguang Military Division, if they don't come to visit you, they will feel uneasy, and they will also be afraid that you will have opinions and opinions on them. Therefore, as a human being, you should compare your heart with your heart, and do not let your own nature come. Do you say?"

Li Qingshan nodded and said, "You are right to criticize." I was a little overdone just now. Xiao Wang, you tell Commander Xiong and Political Commissar Cai to invite them to sit next door, and I will have a meal with them later. ”

The guards were given the order to go.

At this time, Leng Jidao pulled Su Xiaodan, who had been standing shyly next to him, over and said to Li Qingshan: "Brother, this is your nephew's girlfriend, called Su Xiaodan." Xiao Dan, call Uncle!"

Su Xiaodan raised his head and called Li Qingshan "uncle" generously.

Li Qingshan responded happily, while constantly looking at Su Xiaodan, seeing that she was slender and tall, with a beautiful face, and a dignified and generous demeanor, he couldn't help but praise and said: "Not bad, yes, and Xiaotian are a natural pair!" Xiao Su, next time you have time to play with Xiaotian, I will take you to the mountains to hunt hares." Hahaha!"

Su Xiaodan blushed and said, "Thank you uncle for the compliment, I will definitely come to visit you and your aunt with Xiaotian when I have time." ”

Li Qingshan was even happier when he saw that she spoke generously and decently, and suddenly remembered one more thing and asked the old chief: "When I called Mayor Lin on the first day of the new year, he said that Xiaoxue came to Lengxi Village with you for the New Year. What about the little snowman? Did this little girl know that I was coming, and she was afraid that I would really catch her in the army, so she deliberately hid?"

It turned out that every time Li Qingshan went to visit the old chief, he would tease Lin Xue and say that he would take her to his army, let her get up at half past five every day to run and practice, and correct her bad problems in bed.

The old chief sighed and said, "Don't mention this girl, it's really not worry-free! No, she has been happily playing here for a few days, and when she gets tired of playing, she has come up with a new hall, saying that she wants to go with a few friends to explore Xionghu Mountain in Sichuan Province, and it is estimated that she has already arrived by now!"

Li Qingshan was shocked and said, "Are they going to Xionghu Mountain for an adventure? Mayor Lin and Xiao Xue didn't stop her? That mountain is extremely dangerous, not to mention steep and steep, and there are often Xionghu haunts, and there are already several groups of explorers in China who have gone there and never returned." How can Xiaoxue be allowed to take such a risk?"

The old chief said worriedly: "You know this girl's temper, who can stop her? You stopped her during the day, and she suddenly left at night, and she didn't greet you." It's impossible for her parents to watch over her 24 hours a day, it's a real headache!"

As he spoke, he kept shaking his head and sighing.

Li Qingshan didn't say anything more, but said to Leng Jidao: "Brother, please prepare another sacrificial thing for me, I will personally sacrifice my mother and stepfather." ”

Leng Jidao hurriedly went to the house, and brought a bowl of chicken, a bowl of fish, a bowl of gizzard meat, three bowls of white rice, three cups of soju, and prepared incense, candles, paper money and firecrackers, brought them out on a plate, and handed them to Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan took the plate, put the chicken, fish, and food and shochu on the table, then lit incense and burned paper, and respectfully bowed to his mother and stepfather on the shrine three times. Sneering Tian set off firecrackers outside the hall, and everyone returned to the house and began to eat lunch.

At this time, Commander Xiong Can and Political Commissar Cai Jiwu of the Mingguang Military Division also sat on the table stiffly. The two of them are also majestic and famous in Mingguang, and Commander Xiong Can is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee, and they are both people who have seen the world. However, in the face of Lin Zhendong, the former leader of the party and the state, and the famous three-star general Commander Li Qingshan, they still looked a little nervous, and the smiles on their faces were a little stiff and unnatural.

Soon, the old chief and Li Qingshan talked about today's recognition of relatives and toasted each other in celebration. Xiong Can and Cai Jiwu only learned at this time that Leng Jidao, an old farmer in a remote mountain village, was actually the younger brother of Commander Li Qingshan, and they couldn't help but be surprised - this was an excellent opportunity to get close to Commander Li!

So, the two of them hurriedly stood up to salute Leng Jidao and Li Qingshan's wine, and congratulated their brothers on their reunion.

When Li Qingshan heard them say that he was congratulating him on his reunion with Brother Leng Jidao, he also stood up happily and drank the glass of wine happily.

While drinking, Leng Jidao said to Li Qingshan half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Brother, our village is a poor place, and there are many villagers who want to send their sons to the army to be soldiers, hoping to have a little success in the army and become a city man in the future. However, there are very few places to recruit soldiers in the rural areas, and there has not been a single recruit in our village in the past few years. Just now, a few villagers asked me if I could talk to you and get a few internal indicators for us to be soldiers in Lengxi Village...... I'm just saying that, brother, don't be angry when you hear it!"

Before Li Qingshan could answer, Xiong Can preemptively said: "Lao Leng, this matter doesn't need to trouble the commander, Lao Cai and I can solve it." Tell me: How many indicators do you want in your village to be a soldier? Let's write down the names today, and we will definitely solve them when we recruit soldiers!"

Li Qingshan nodded and said: "Jidao, rural children want to be soldiers, although there are utilitarian ideas in them, but being a soldier is always to do their duty for the country, and we still encourage school-age young people to actively sign up for the draft." Since the villagers begged you, you promised them that Comrade Xiong Can and Comrade Cai Jiwu would solve it for you!"

Leng Jidao nodded happily.

At this moment, the old chief's secretary suddenly pushed the door in with a mobile phone, and said anxiously: "Chief, Mayor Lin called and said that Xiaoxue had an accident in Xionghu Mountain!"
