I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

What really surprised Cao Dongfang was that the "old leader" had served as a deputy in the military in the 60s.

His old boss was the 'chief designer' and 'military god', and the 'old boss' was a founding general.

In his previous life, Cao Dongfang had watched TV dramas and read books about this old man.

Because Cao Dongfang in his previous life and the current 'old chief' were from the same hometown and were actually born in the same town, where there is a monument to the 'old chief'.

The 'old chief''s surname is 'Wei', which means defending the country!

The 'old chief' and his wife should be around 47 years old now, I forgot their exact age, but they died in the early 21st century and could still live for another 50 years, which is very important.

Thirty years later, he is still active in the top level. This is a super thigh. There have been ups and downs in the past ten years, but nothing serious has happened. It will not affect the Cao family if he holds on to it.

Cao Dongfang is confident that he can hold on to this powerful relationship.

That's because the 'old chief' liked him very much. The name 'Cao Dongfang' was given by the 'old chief', and it was the old chief who agreed that Cao Dongfang followed Cao Dashan to fight when he was less than 6 years old.

This time, we stayed at the "old leader's" house for a total of four hours. The "old leader" postponed a party and specially invited Cao Dongfang's family to dinner.

Cao Dongfang could see that the 'old leader' was really good to him, without any hypocrisy.

Moreover, the "old leader" has only one son and one daughter at home, and they are not in the old city, but work in the south. There are only two people and a nanny in her forties at home.

There were only an old couple at home, and there seemed to be a preference for boys over girls. The 'old leader' and his wife took turns talking to Cao Dongfang for at least three and a half hours out of four hours.

Knowing that Cao Dongfang had good academic performance and would go to work to build the country after passing the technical secondary school entrance examination, he was very happy. In particular, knowing that Cao Dongfang was very good at kung fu, the "old leader" was overjoyed.

He immediately called the guard to try Cao Dongfang's kung fu, and he was shocked after trying it!

It's not that his kung fu is good, it's that his kung fu is too good. No wonder hunting wild sheep and wild boars is not a problem for him, and he is even preparing to hunt tigers.

Master of Huajin! The old leader understood this term. He was almost immune to short gun damage. His martial arts were top-notch in the country. Hunting was a waste of his talent. He could talk about driving later.

The 'old chief' laughed heartily at Cao Dongfang for saving the old Taoist priest with a vegetable dumpling during the battle and being taught kung fu.

He could only say "good luck" and arrange a job for Cao Dongfang.

A special national department, affiliated with the military. You don't have to go there at normal times, but you can serve the country when something happens. You have an officer's certificate, and the local authorities cannot interfere.

Cao Dongfang did not refuse. He was a master of Hua Jin and was willing to contribute to the country. As long as he had time to take care of his mother and sister, that would be enough.

Cao Dongfang's attitude made the 'old leader' very happy. He thought that he was worthy of being Cao Dashan's descendant, a child who grew up in the army and was aware!

He drank a lot of wine when he was happy, and gave Cao Dongfang a pocket watch, which belonged to Major General Jiaoben and was his precious collection. He had never given it to other friends who had asked for it.

Finally, Cao Dongfang and his mother said goodbye in order to attend the party for the "old leader".

The old lady still held Cao Dongfang's hand tightly and refused to let go. Finally, the "old leader" told Cao Dongfang that he must come when he has time, at least twice a month.

Enthusiastic, too enthusiastic. The "old leader" who is less than 50 years old is as enthusiastic as his wife. He almost wants Cao Dongfang to go home and adopt him as his godson or something.

Therefore, Cao Dongfang was confident that he could get close to the "old leader's" family.

Joining a military department is no big deal. There are not many masters of Hua Jin in the country, especially those under 30 years old, said the 'old chief'.

This department will be under the management of the old leader, there won't be much to do, finally let Xie Jun take good care of Cao Dongfang, if there are any problems, go to him, if there are any important matters, talk to him, in one sentence -

We can’t let Cao Dongfang’s family be bullied!

'Xie Jun' is the boss and person in charge of the Dongcheng District Industrial Safety Department where Cao Dongfang works.

.......

"Brother, Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei don't like Jiajia and mom. They don't talk to us." Cao Jiajia said aggrievedly on the way back.

"Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei like Jiajia and give her candies and fruits. They don't talk much to her because she is too young.

He is also very good to his mother, but he is more concerned about his brother’s study and work.” said Cao’s mother.

"Oh, it's not that you don't like Jiajia, that's good." Cao Jiajia was happy again.

"Dongfang, you should visit the old leader's home more often in the future. He will be lonely without his children around." Cao's mother said.

"I know." Cao Dongfang also decided to visit the 'old leader' more often at least once a month.

.......

When Cao Dongfang and the other two returned home, He Yushui had already left and washed up to rest.

The next morning, the children in the compound met Cao's mother and began to wish her a happy new year.

Each red envelope contains 20 cents, and all the children who come to pay New Year's greetings receive one, as well as a handful of melon seeds and peanuts. The children are all very happy because they have something to eat again.

At noon, they continued to eat the leftovers, including about a pound of braised pork, a lot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, roasted chicken, and fish. He Yushui didn't eat any of them.

I just finished the Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce and the beef with soy sauce. I didn't eat much for lunch and dinner today. I ate half of both and only had the other half left. My appetite is still not good enough.

After the four of them finished their meal, they finally finished the leftovers from Sanshi. In the afternoon, Cao Jiajia woke up from a nap and went shopping. In the evening, they had mutton hotpot.

The mutton hotpot is delicious!

What the three women of the Cao family think!

You can also walk around the streets. There are many things to do during the New Year in the old city. At least it is better than sitting at home like an idiot.

......

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Sunday, Cao's mother went to work, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, three jeeps drove to the courtyard.

Xie Jun, Liu Dazhui, Zhang Tengfei and four other soldiers got out of the car and took five large bags from the car.

Several people came and knocked on the door of Cao's house. The third uncle Yan Bugui didn't dare to stop them at all. He didn't have the courage. He had only come during the first two Spring Festivals after Cao Dashan passed away.

They are Cao Dashan’s comrades-in-arms. There are seven of them this time, including soldiers and local cadres.

"The Cao family is amazing. From the second to the fifth day of the New Year, many people came. They didn't come empty-handed. The gifts they received in these few days can be used for several months.

It can be seen that what was delivered were rice, noodles and some daily necessities.

The third uncle Yan Bugui was envious and jealous. He did not dare to have any thoughts about his comrades from the Cao family.

"Uncle Xie, Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhang. Uncle Mou, you are in the army, why are you here? These three are...

There were three other soldiers that Cao Dongfang had never seen before.

“These three are from the north, your father’s old comrades-in-arms, brothers who slept in the same bed with you.

This is your Uncle Shen, Uncle Han and Uncle Jin. "Xie Jun said, "We were in the same battalion during the Anti-Japanese War. "

"Uncle Shen, Uncle Han, Uncle Jin, Happy New Year." Cao Dongfang said politely.

He Yushui wanted to make tea for a few people, but the seven of them refused to drink it. They just said they would sit for a while and then leave because they had something else to do.

After talking with Cao Dongfang for half an hour and asking about the situation at home, the four people gave Cao Dongfang, He Yushui, and Cao Jiajia each a red envelope, left the things they brought, and left.

Four soldiers, two cadres, and a worker drove three jeeps and brought a lot of things to Cao's house. The news spread throughout the courtyard immediately through the mouth of the third uncle.

Today is Sunday, people who work are resting, and most people are at home.

.......

Jia family!

"Humph, that little bastard Cao Dongfang, he didn't even bother to send some delicious food to my house, giving birth to a child... Uh, uh, uh.

His mouth was covered by Jia Dongxu again.

"Mom, can you stop cursing? Haven't you seen people coming to visit Cao Dongfang's house every day since the second day of the Chinese New Year?

If you don’t pay attention to what you say and get sued, you will suffer a great loss. Don’t speak loudly if you are dissatisfied. "Jia Dongxu was a little afraid of his mother.

Qin Huairu's belly is very big and she is about to give birth, probably in early March, which is still a month away. These days, she has been very curious about Cao Dongfang and the Cao family.

Qin Huairu has been married for two years and has no contact with the Cao family. Cao's mother never comes to the central courtyard except to wash dishes and fetch water. The same is true for Cao Dongfang.

Whenever Qin Huairu wanted to talk to Cao's mother, she would keep her distance from her.

Cao's mother treats everyone in the middle and back yards the same and only interacts with people in the front yard. It's hard to figure out what kind of person Cao's mother is.

After the two plenary sessions, Cao Dongfang became frightening, as if his eyes could see through everything.

In Cao Dongfang's eyes, she seemed to be wearing nothing, and everything was exposed to Cao Dongfang's eyes.

She was afraid of Cao Dongfang, and she also found that there were many people in the Intermediate Court who were afraid of Cao Dongfang, including Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai and an aunt.

They were all afraid of Cao Dongfang, and Qin Huairu became very curious about Cao Dongfang.

As for Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu had already seen through Jia Zhang's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong for two years!
