Siheyuan Shangpeng

Just when Shang Peng was thinking about how to save this iron triangle, Li Yunlong spoke up: "Let's put the meal aside for now. We came here today to ask Xiaoxue something. Let's talk about the meal after we're done."

The merchants were all very confused. What was going on? The famous Iron Triangle came to ask Xiaoxue for advice? Xiaoxue was listening to a few people talking on the side. When she heard that there was something she could do, she quickly said, "Three uncles, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I will definitely do my best."

Li Yunlong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Xiaoxue, actually you shouldn't know about this, but we... Hey! To be honest, our military rank is Major General, and we don't feel very convinced. It's just that we don't study in a unified way, and we are asked to write a paper with our own topic. We want to take the top three this time. You also know that among the three of us, only Ding Xiucai has better literary talent, so we want our eldest niece to help us take a look. We have basically finished writing the paper, so we want our eldest niece to help polish it. We strive for the three of us to take the top three and let those people take a look."

Shang Peng thought, "I'm sleepy, someone sent me a pillow." He quickly said, "No, uncles, why did you ask my sister? My brother and I can do it too. I'm not bragging. I will definitely get into a good university in the college entrance examination next year. How about this? Each of us will read one article, and then we'll take turns to read it after we're done. I'll try to finish it for you today. What do you think?"

The three of them thought it was okay. Li Yunlong said, "Haha...you guys, okay, each of you read one article. This one is mine, and you two can take out yours! Let our college students take a look."

The other two also took out their own papers. The three brothers took their papers and read them. Shang Peng specifically picked Ding Wei's paper and read it. Yes, that's right, this is it, "On the Key Points of Defense of Our Country's Territory." He read it carefully.

After reading it, Shang Peng had to admire the vision of these old revolutionaries. What they said was basically correct, but the timing was wrong. He had no choice but to say, "Uncle Ding, your paper is really well written. Even I, who don't know much about military affairs, can understand it. But... Well, since I call you uncle, I will tell you the truth.

If you dare to write this paper, it means you will be marginalized, or even..."

Li Yunlong lost his composure and said loudly, "Peng boy, what's going on? Tell me about it."

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, Shang Peng hurriedly said, "Uncle Li, don't be anxious, listen to me slowly. Uncle Ding, if I am not mistaken, you are imagining the North as your enemy, right? What you said is actually not wrong. There are no eternal friends between countries, but have you ever thought about what kind of situation we are in with the North now? They are the big brother. If I guess correctly, this paper of yours should be to position your future positions, right?

Uncle Ding, think about it. When you submitted this paper, it was generally said that the top military officials wanted to defend the north. If the north knew about this, they would not care about the circumstances under which this paper was written. They would only wonder whether our top officials had the same intention.

It will then become a diplomatic issue. At the very least, this is just your personal thought. At the most, you are affecting the internal unity of the Bolsheviks. Do you think you will get away with it?

I may not have much experience, but we can't let others hold the handle, don't you think?"

Everyone in the room fell silent. After a long while, Ding Wei said, "Is it not possible? I am doing this for the country!"

Shang Peng continued, "You are doing this for the country, but the timing is wrong. Don't you consider yourself, your family, Uncle Li and Uncle Kong, and your leaders? Do you really think this is just your problem?

Even I, who don't know much about politics, know that when you pull out a carrot, you bring out the dirt. Do you think there will be no one to use it? Even a couple sometimes quarrels, let alone such a big country.

What do you mean? "

Ding Wei fell silent, and Li Yunlong quickly said, "Afraid of the ball? Why should we, the iron triangle of northwest Shanxi, be afraid of those jumping clowns? At worst, we can just go home and farm."

Ha ha……

Shang Peng suddenly laughed, looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Uncle Li, if you keep thinking this way, I think you should retire as soon as possible. Anyway, there are no more wars to fight now, and you can still keep your dignity if you retire."

Shang's father scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by keeping your dignity?"

Shang Peng continued, "Uncle Li, I think what I said is right. You are used to being a military leader. You just give orders about everything, and you are not polite at all.

Now that the window paper has been broken, I will tell you the truth. Why was it that only Uncle Kong participated in the battle to establish the country? Don't you know?

"My three uncles, please forgive my rudeness. I just don't want to see you regret this matter in the future."

The room was silent again, and Li Yunlong spoke first: "Why does it feel like everything has changed? The comrades who used to be close friends now have their own little thoughts."

Shang Peng continued Li Yunlong's words and said, "When it's time to divide the cake, if you eat one more bite, I'll eat one less bite. So, you can't change yourself. I advise you to either step down or change your temper."

There was another silence in the room, and Mr. Shang said, "Okay, you are still the famous Iron Triangle. Li Yunlong, why weren't you afraid when you came to the factory to steal guns and bullets? Are you afraid now?

You two are the same. It's just a paper. If this one doesn't work, change it to another one. When the time is right, bring it out. What's the use of evidence? Don't think too much about it today, it's New Year's Day. Let me tell you, we have a chef in our yard. I'll ask him to cook two dishes. We'll have a good meal and then we'll figure it out.

Shang Peng, you rascal, go and call your uncle over. It’s time for him to take action. Call your brother Zhuzi as well.”

"Oh! I'll go right away." Shang Peng also felt that he had said too much. He originally just wanted to talk about the thesis, but he didn't expect to have gone a little too far. I hope everything is okay!

He ran to the He family in the middle courtyard and told He Daqing that he would invite him to cook. When He Daqing heard that three generals had come, he immediately took Zhuzi to the front yard and started to get busy.

Professionals are professionals. The food they cook is delicious and tasty. Li Yunlong even wanted to take He Daqing away. However, he had something else on his mind so he didn't bother with him too much. However, he still said that he would take He Yuzhu to the army to gain some experience.
