After finishing their business, Hu Xiaoman and Hu Xiangxiang didn't know that there was another oolong waiting for them in the old house.

Grandpa Hu saw that the Xiangzi generation got along well, and the twins were calm and sensible. Although Xiaoman was a little underwhelmed a few months ago, now it seems that he is a little more mature than before, so he thought about ordering a mandarin duck book to keep the twins— —Otherwise Grandma Hu Shi is so stubborn, the twins would not be able to come to Xiangtan two or three times a year.

Candidates, Grandpa Hu thinks that Jingyan and Xiaoqiu are very good - as I said earlier, Jingyan is called a maidservant, but she has long been a good family status, and Hu Xiaoqiu was raised by the grandfather as a confidant, food and clothing Comparing the cost with the family members, it's just that Xiaoqiu is honest and honest and has always regarded himself as a housekeeper.

The grandpa's plan fell through when he first mentioned it. Hu Xiaoman told the grandpa that Xiangxiang had already been engaged to him, Xiangxiang reciprocated, and also said that Hu Xiaoman and his cousin Liu Xiuxiu had a marriage contract since childhood.

Grandpa Hu was very depressed: Hu Xiaoman knew that he had a cousin living at home since he was a child, but he never thought that she was a child bride; when he came back from Xiangxiang, Xiangtan hadn't settled on a family yet, but it turned out that he was optimistic about it in just a few months—although Xiaoman often speaks a little unreliably, but Grandpa Hu knows that Xiaoman doesn't need to lie or brag in this regard.

In fact, what the grandpa doesn’t know is that Jingyan and Xiangping are in love with each other. If Xiangxiang hadn’t explained Xiaoman quickly, Hu Xiangping would have jumped up again; Although he was happy with Shuilan, he didn't dare to mention it, Xiaoman was relieved that Xiangxiang was engaged.

At this time, the servants came in to report that a country/military/chief officer came to visit Grandpa Hu.

Although the grandfather didn't like the wave after wave of officers who came to persuade him or sell food, or even donate food, but since the other party came from the officer, and he couldn't see him, he asked his servants to invite the officer in. At the same time, he wanted to let the juniors learn more, and said to the juniors who wanted to avoid it: "You all stay, my Hu family can be regarded as a small and well-off family in Xiangtan, and there are many troops coming and going to beat the autumn wind. Stay here, take a look, learn how to deal with them—I am old, I don’t know how many more years I can survive, and the Hu family will still rely on you in the future.”

Hu Xiaoman was the sweetest, and comforted his grandfather: "Grandpa, you are not old at all, you can still steer the helm steadily for 30 years!" Before he finished speaking, he changed into a look of excitement when he saw the officer brought in by his servants. "Brother Gu, why is it you?"

Xiaoman was very excited to introduce to the grandpa and the others: "This is Xiangxiang's fiancé I just mentioned, my future second brother-in-law, Gu Qingming. Brother Gu, this is my grandpa, cousin Xiangning, cousin Xiangping, Xiangshui cousin."

Both sides exchanged greetings, and Grandpa Hu also greeted the servants to have tea.

Xiao Man asked again: "Brother Gu, you didn't come to see us, did you? How do you know we're here? It's amazing!"

Hu Xiangxiang blinked at Gu Qingming, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

Gu Qingming also smiled slightly: "I really didn't know that you and Xiangxiang, Xiaoman, were here. This time I came here for military affairs." He said respectfully to Grandpa Hu, "Mr. Hu, in private, I should like Xiangxiang also calls you Grandpa, but in this situation, I always feel that I am getting closer. I think you can probably guess my reason for coming. The army is short of food, and the Hu family is a big family in Xiangtan. You bought part of it here as military rations."

Grandpa Hu looked at the person who came, and he was considered to be a dignified person, but he was not sure that he was not the kind of person who was among the best and the best.Hearing that Chief Gu explained his intentions straight to the point, but did not use his marriage with Xiangxiang to get closer, he had a good impression of him.

But he still said with a straight face: "How do I know whether the grain I sold to you at a low price today will appear on the black market at a high price tomorrow! When the troops came, we didn't donate or donate them. What happened? ,snort."

Gu Qingming is also well aware of the serious corruption in the army, so he can only bite the bullet and say to Grandpa Hu: "Mr. Hu, I dare not tell you about the previous ones, but this time, I can guarantee that the food will never flow out. It is the ration of soldiers."

Xiangxiang was even annoyed because she felt that directly speaking up would make her grandpa feel like a "girl extrovert"—after all, she had just rejected her grandpa's proposal to marry Hu Xiaoqiu.Then he winked at Xiaoman.

To say that Xiaoman and Xiangxiang have a good heart is not bragging, Xiaoman knew what it meant when Xiangxiang glanced over, and helped Gu Qingming beat the side drum: "Grandpa, Brother Gu said so, it must be possible to do it. For a while, the Changsha Federation of Industry and Commerce invited Brother Gu to a banquet. I thought that Brother Gu would either throw his sleeves away or join forces with others. I didn’t expect him to let those black-hearted capitalists spit out a lot of property to support the army! Every penny of the property was recorded in the book Donors can be checked publicly. I heard from my friends who joined the army that the top soldiers in the army praised Brother Gu. Not to mention the fire last month. Brother Gu was eager to save people and risked being punished or even shot. The troops were transferred into the city to fight the fire, and even though the people in the city didn't know the way inside, they were still very grateful!"

Xiaoman's words were full of emotion, and moved Xiangning, Xiangping, and Xiangshui. Of course, the grandfather could see through Xiaoman's tricks after living most of his life, but he had to admit that if Xiaoman's words were all true, Gu Qingming was indeed Is a good officer.

"Well, let me think about it again, and I will give you an answer in the afternoon, sir." The old man is not someone who can be fooled by a few words.

Gu Qingming's expression was as usual, neither joy nor anxiety, and it was a pity that the grandfather praised him: "The official duties have been explained clearly, and the old man also understands the purpose of the chief's visit, why don't you stay for a light meal?"

"I don't dare to do it. The official business is over for a while. I can't call you a senior officer all the time. You can just call me Xiao Gu." Gu Qingming was born, and his etiquette has always been the most thoughtful. The low-ranking officials do not pretend to be polite, but they are still very kind to the elderly people-not to mention that the other party is an elder of the same clan as his unmarried wife, "Grandpa, you shouldn't refuse to stay, but I have to go back and go up." Feng reports, so I won’t bother you any more.”

Grandpa Hu's opening to leave a meal was just a superficial way to talk about it, and he didn't force it anymore.

Xiaoman pushed Xiangxiang to see off Big Brother Gu, and Xiangxiang walked over without being pretentious.

Grandpa opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he still didn't say anything: Forget it, I'm already engaged, so why bother to talk too much.

Not to mention the other three cousins ​​surrounded Xiaoman asking questions - this is Xiangxiang's fiancé!

Hu Xiangxiang acted as a half master temporarily to send Gu Qingming out: "When did Brother Shaohuan arrive in Xiangtan?"

"Come here yesterday afternoon."

"What a coincidence, Xiaoman and I also came here yesterday, but we went back in the afternoon." Xiangxiang said.

"I'm here to buy military rations. If the old man of the Hu family agrees, I will be able to complete the task today."

"Really? Maybe we can go back together. I don't think it's a big problem with Grandpa. I will take part of it more or less."

"I'll know when I visit the door again in the afternoon. You and Xiaoman will wait for me here in the afternoon. If you can't do well today, it won't prevent you from being sent to the ferry." Gu Qingming's approach has always been appropriate,

"Okay." Xiangxiang felt that having a jeep was indeed happier than riding a donkey cart. The roads in the country were bad, and the donkey cart was too bumpy.

At the gate, Gu Qingming came back to his senses and said: "By the way, Xue Junshan was transferred to the Bijiashan position. I got the news before I came. Remember to tell my sister."

"Oh, I see."

..............................

The mentioned Xue Junshan arrived at Bijia Mountain after more than two days of marching.

As the name suggests, Bijia Mountain is like a shelf for writing pens. It is said that the mountain is actually not high in altitude.

The adverb in front of Battalion Commander Xue Junshan has not been removed, but he is also an official, with a separate dormitory, which is much better than the big soldier.After settling down, Xue Junshan quietly called Xiao Hei and the younger brother to his room, and handed them two bulletproof vests, one for each of them.

Chen Xiao's black eyes lit up: "Brother, this is a good thing! It's worth a lot of money in the market. Brother, where did this come from? It's a gift from Chief Gu?"

"Don't worry about where I came from, you brat. I'll protect you. Be smart, let others see you, and don't worry about me if you're shunned." Xue Junshan was very kind to his younger brother and Xiao Hei. There were five pieces in total. One piece, here are two pieces, and there are two more pieces left for favors when they can be used.

Brother Mo is as simple and honest as ever: "Brother, I don't want it anymore. I am strong and thick-skinned. Keep this one for you to wear."

Xiao Hei snorted at him: "If you are so courteous, Big Brother won't keep it for me?"

Xue Junshan squinted his eyes, and then laughed: "Little brother, you are so used to walking, learn more from Xiao Hei, and be smarter."

As for the sausage and bacon that the Hu family asked to bring, Xue Junshan was not as conscious as Gu Qingming.

The author has something to say: I was really busy yesterday, this is so sour... I slept from 06:30 to 07:30 in the evening
