And the words that the military wives told Li Shengnan, Xie Xiaonian could completely imagine that those gossiping people would definitely tell her all the information about Zhong Guoquan.
But that's fine, after all, Zhong Guoquan's conditions are there, and it will be clear as soon as possible, so that there will be no contradictions in the future.
"Who are you?" After Zhong Guoquan was called to Xiao Nian's house by Liu Xinguo, he looked at the strange woman in front of him and asked suspiciously.
"Don't you remember me? I'm the one you saved in the county a few days ago, and you still beat those little gangsters all over the ground looking for teeth, have you forgotten? I'm here to thank you today! Li Shengnan saw that Zhong Guoquan didn't remember himself, and reminded him in disappointment.
She had taken this man to heart from the first time she saw him, how could this man not remember herself.
"Oh, it's you, I was just helping at the time, I don't need any thanks from you, you better go back early."
At that time, the girl was wearing a uniform and looked very capable, which was still very different from the little girl in the floral gown in front of her.
And at that time, he didn't pay much attention to what other girls looked like, so it's no wonder he didn't recognize them at first sight.
"Whether you are comfortable or not, you are kind to me, this is the canned food and Jiang rice noodles I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, you can take it back and give it to your daughter!" Li Shengnan said writhingly.
"No need, it's just a gesture, it's not worthy of your thanks." Zhong Guoquan's hard reply did not save face for the little girl at all.
As for the fact that this girl knew that she had a girl in her family, he also liked it a little, and felt that this girl should not inquire about his family's situation at will.
"Hey, don't stand still, I've already cooked the meal, anyway, let's eat first, Katsuo came all the way, I can't even eat a hot meal."
Xie Xiaonian saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he hurriedly greeted everyone.
Li Shengnan helped himself no matter what he said, Xie Xiaonian really couldn't bear to see her so lost expression.
"No, sister-in-law, I'd better go back to the army to eat, my army still has something to do." After Zhong Guoquan finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
"What's the matter with you? The loyal army is here, ask him for a leave first, and no matter how busy he is, he will eat here at noon today, I am cooking your food, if you leave, the meal will be left. Xie Xiaonian said directly.
"That's it, Guoquan, there's nothing particularly urgent about the affairs in the army, let's have lunch here, it's not that I haven't eaten at home, why are you so twisted?" Xu Zhongjun also helped.
"Alright then, battalion commander, then I'll eat here and bother you, sister-in-law." The two matched so enthusiastically, Zhong Guoquan couldn't refuse, and could only nod helplessly in agreement.
During the meal, Zhong Guoquan didn't feel the adoring eyes that the girl next to him passed from time to time, but he was an old man in his 20s with children, and he was not worthy of this girl to look at him like this.
And now he is only thinking about bringing up his daughter, making up for all the losses to his daughter, and has no other ideas.
Although Li Shengnan was full of interest and admiration for Zhong Guoquan, Zhong Guoquan had a cold face throughout the whole process, and left immediately after eating, without giving her any room for hope and reverie.
Seeing this, Li Shengnan had no choice but to put down the gift and leave sullenly.
"Hey, how good this girl is, and at first glance, it is interesting to Zhong Guoquan, if they can do it, it will also be very beneficial to Lingling's growth, but it's a pity."
After sending Li Shengnan away, Xie Xiaonian said to Xu Zhongjun with a sigh.
"But Guoquan doesn't have this mind, don't worry about it, it's not good to backfire when the time comes."
Although Xu Zhongjun hopes that Zhong Guoquan can get married as soon as possible, if Zhong Guoquan is unwilling, he will not do anything to force his subordinates.
"Hey, the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, and now it can only be like this, I hope that because of the two gifts I accepted, the two of them can be a little more involved!" Xie Xiaonian said regretfully.
On Monday morning, when Xie Xiaonian sent Xu Zhongjun out, he heard footsteps coming downstairs.
Thinking that it might be the new neighbor upstairs who moved in while they didn't know it, the two stopped and prepared to say hello to the new neighbor.
"Old chief? How are you? Looking at the people who came down from the upper floor, Xu Zhongjun couldn't help but shout in surprise.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, surprise, I knew you would be shocked!" Luo Changsong said with a laugh like an old naughty child.
"Surprise surprise, big surprise! We don't know when you're here, or you'd have been there a long time ago, are you here to teach? How long are you going to stay? Xie Xiaonian hurriedly stepped forward and said in a series of words.
Although Xie Xiaonian and the old chief have only met once, they have always exchanged letters, and she has special admiration for the old chief, so she feels extremely cordial after seeing each other again.
"I arrived last night, and it was late when I arrived, so I didn't bother you. I'm not here to teach this time, I'm here to take up a post, I'll live here in the future, we'll be neighbors, and I ask Zhongjun and Comrade Xiaonian to take care of me as an old man. Luo Changsong said jokingly.
"Don't worry, as long as we have a bite to eat, you will definitely be indispensable." Xie Xiaonian patted his chest cooperatively and reassured.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll trouble you in the future, I really didn't mistake you girl!" Luo Changsong said with a laugh.
"It's great that you're here all the time, old chief, come to your house for dinner at noon, and we'll pick you up." Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.
"Forget it at noon, I'm going to have dinner with the leaders of the military region at noon, it's all booked in advance, and I can't change it. I'll come back to your house in the evening, and we'll have a good time together, I've been wanting to eat your food for a long time. Luo Chang said greedily.
"That's my pleasure, I'll go grocery shopping later, and promise to make you an unforgettable dinner." Xie Xiaonian was very happy to admit it.
"Don't be too extravagant, just stir-fry two dishes." Luo Changsong instructed.
"That's not good, today is your first day in office, why don't you make a good meal for you, didn't you say you want to eat the dishes I cooked, then I'll make a few more dishes today, so that you can eat enough." Xie Xiaonian said insistently.
"Okay, whatever you want, I can't control you anyway, since you want to do more, then I'll bring two more people to eat, so I don't have to waste it."
Seeing that Xie Xiaonian welcomed him so much, Luo Changsong was very happy in his heart, so he laughed and agreed, just taking the opportunity to let Xu Zhongjun know more about the leaders of the lower military region.
"That's a good feeling, then I'll also ask Zhongjun to find someone who can drink at night, and come to drink two glasses with you and the guests, but I have a few bottles of good wine at home that I have saved for several years." Xie Xiaonian responded happily.
The people brought by the old chief must also be the leaders of the troops, and she must entertain them well today and strive to leave a good impression in the hearts of the leaders.
Not only does it give the old chief a long face, but maybe it can also pave the way for Xu Zhongjun's future future.
"Okay, then I'll come and have two drinks in the evening, I'll have a meeting later, so I'll go to the army first." After Luo Changsong finished speaking, he left with the guards.
After the old chief left, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly instructed Xu Zhongjun: "Zhongjun, when you see the deputy division commander later, just talk to him and ask him to come over at night to help accompany the guests." ”
"Is it just the chief himself? Do they want to call over the woods, and Brother Liu, the master is so close to us, such a good opportunity to show his face in front of the leader, do you want to call them too. Xu Zhongjun excitedly asked Xie Xiaonian's opinion.
"Just call the chief himself, don't call the others, if you call too much, it will seem that we are too powerful, or the simpler the better." Xie Xiaonian said after thinking about it for a while.
"Okay, listen to you." Xu Zhongjun nodded in agreement.
"I'll go to the county to buy vegetables later, if you come back late, you can cook and eat by yourself at noon, and I'll let Xiuhong go to the children, just talk to her, and let her tell Shuqin's sister-in-law at night, don't wait for the chief to go back to eat." Xie Xiaonian then arranged.
"That's okay, just do as you say, there will be a plenary meeting later, don't be late, I'll go to the army first." After speaking, Xu Zhongjun left in a hurry.
In the morning, after the unit held a welcoming meeting for the veteran chief, the commander and political commissar of the military region, seven or eight deputy commanders and deputy political commissars, and some other leading groups of the military region who had rushed over specially arrived went to the cafeteria together and held a reception banquet for the veteran chief.
After eating, the old chief said to the commander and political commissar: "Are you two busy in the afternoon?" If you're not busy, don't leave today, I'll take you to eat something delicious in the evening, and I'll make sure you've never had such a good meal. ”
"Don't be busy, there are so many cadres in the whole military region, we can stay here for a few more days, and it's fine." The commissar replied with a smile.
"That is, no matter how big it is, you can't refuse your invitation to the old chief, but the old chief, what you said is delicious won't be the food cooked by Comrade Xu Zhongjun and his daughter-in-law that you often praise, right?" The commander asked knowingly.
He felt that this was the only one who could be worthy of such praise and recommendation from the old chief.
"That's not it, let me tell you, the craftsmanship of the daughter-in-law of the loyal army is to go to the state banquet, which is more than enough, and you two will know it after you two eat it in the evening." Luo Changsong said confidently.
And this conversation between the three of them also imprinted the names of Xu Zhongjun and his family on the hearts of all the leaders of the military region, and Xu Zhongjun can be regarded as having his name in the headquarters.
Looking at the 7 or 8 deputy commanders and deputy political commissars next to him who came to pick him up, Luo Changsong smiled and said to them: "The loyal army can't fit so many people in the house, I won't keep you this time, but don't be greedy, when the two of them go back, I will ask them to bring you the special delicious pickles made by the daughter-in-law of the loyal army, and ensure that you still want to eat them." ”
