Chapter 72 Birthday
It was only early summer, and it was especially cool at night. Although there were very few rooms in the new home, each house was not small. Xue Xiang's new room was naturally much wider. There was also a pond behind the house. Looking at the moon with a window, the breeze was cool. It was really pleasant to see the night view, which helped people sleep. But with such superior sleep conditions, it was almost morning, and the little guy beside the pillow was already sleeping with gazes and was refreshing. Even the noisy little white tiger at the bedside had already slept for a long time, but Xue Xiang couldn't sleep.
It turned out that after hanging up Xue Anyuan's phone call, Xue Xiangxinchao had never calmed down. After settled down, he asked Dao Ren Chen to wash up, he lay on the bed early, began to reminisce, ponder, and more importantly, reflect. After lying down for a while, he kept savoring Xue Anyuan's not-so-long words: "Old, it's not good to be a person, but blindly sticking to old rules is even more harmful. All those who have accomplished great things in ancient and modern times are full of perseverance, wisdom, and superior to others. I know that you intend to restrain your sharpness, but I don't know that when you restrain your sharpness, you are also tightly trapped by these layers of rules, tied to death, gradually smoothing your edges and becoming a common person..."
Xue Anyuan rarely said something. Not only did Xue Xiang not like ordinary brothers who were disgusted with listening to parents' great principles, but he was like being shocked and enlightened. He began to reflect on his actions after returning to Beijing for a while. The more he reflected, the more he became more and more surprised. His uncle was right. He was more and more concerned about the rules and was less and less afraid to act. He thought about everything he did, not how to make mistakes, rather than how he did it.
The more Xue Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that he had been deeply influenced by the words "low-key" of Comrade Xu Gan and Comrade Zhenhua. He had reached the distortion process. He was afraid of making a move when doing anything. He almost regarded these words as the principle of conduct. Gradually, he was not concerned about things and did not say anything. He was actually becoming a silly life.
The more Xue Xiang thought deeply, the more he gained, and his thinking gradually spread according to Xue Anyuan's words. He even thought of the great men in the past and then treated the actions of the great men in the past. He actually broke out in a cold sweat. The Chairman's actions have always been far-sighted and set high standards; while the elders have been ups and downs, and they still have firm will and do better than others. A great man is a great man, and the two great men have personality and personality. They have a strong personal character.
Xue Xiang thought, thinking, constantly flipping around, feeling more and more annoyed, so he raised his hand to take the cigarette box from the bedside. As soon as he lit a cigarette, he remembered the little guy beside him who was sleeping soundly, and then pressed the cigarette butt to extinguish it.
After tossing and turning, Xue Xiangxing got up and walked in front of the window. He looked into the distance, but saw the bright moon in the sky and the water in the distance without waves. There were also the peaks of Yutang Mountain protruding, which sandwiched the chaotic jade plate of Tianshan between the two peaks, giving a little smell of high mountains and small moons.
No matter how good the scenery is, it is inevitable to be troublesome to watch for a long time. Xue Xiang looked into the distance for a long time and felt bored. He was just waiting to close the window and return to the bed. Suddenly, the wind suddenly rose outside the window, and a strong gust of wind seemed to be swaying. Yutang Mountain in the distance seemed to be swaying, and the pond near the nearby pond was even more scattered. A poplar that was several meters close to the pond was also bent by the strong wind. When the strong wind entered the window, Xue Xiang was afraid of blowing the little guy, and was about to raise his hand to close the window and recruit the ground, and his eyes were fixed around the poplar tree. It turned out that behind the poplar was a wall, and the open space between the wall and the poplar tree, which grew up half a foot high. Because Xue Xiang was very happy with the greenness, it was not removed when he moved in. To this day, the greenness had become a formation.
At that time, the wind blew the grass, and there were countless flowers and plants around the sturdy poplar tree. The only thing that was hiding behind the poplar tree was swaying lightly in the wind, and it was safe and sound...
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xue Xiang suddenly realized that if he wanted to gather momentum, he would be able to resist the momentum first. Just like this poplar tree, it was only when it could catch wind and rain that he could gather so many artemisia around him. On the other hand, he tried to form a self-contained line, but was afraid of making a name for everything. Even if his uncle celebrated his birthday, he was still looking forward and afraid of being afraid of being on the left and right. How would those who were willing to shelter him?
It is precisely: when things come, you must be bold and turn around in front of you.
With a clear understanding of the thought, Xue Xiang's heart disappeared, closed the window casually, fell back to the bed, and then fell for a moment.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On May 9, 1979, the new house of Xue’s family was decorated with lanterns and gongs and drums. Because there was no such thing as whip and sing, the sound of firecrackers never stopped outside the new house of Xue’s family, because today is Xue Anyuan’s 60th birthday.
On May 4th, Xue Anyuan hung up Xue Xiang's phone and rushed back from Lingnan Province without stopping. He stopped alone. On the evening of May 5th, he arrived at his home in Beijing. Since Xue Anyuan decided to have a grand ceremony, Xue Xiang used all his skills and started to move.
If Mr. Xue is now capable, if he really wants to do something seriously, his momentum will be amazing. As soon as the news of "My brother's family wants to do a wedding" was released, everyone gathered together early on May 6th. After two days and two nights of trouble, by the morning of the 9th, the new house of Xue's family was completely renewed, and a half-mile-length mat was set up outside the door, and a table was set up one by one. Just a squad was invited, Wula, Wula, and Wula, and the blowjob.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and in the mat sheds on both sides of the door, there was half full of large mahogany Eight Immortals tables. The several-standard open space in front of the door was even filled with military jeeps of all sizes. The firecrackers that had been blown for five or six hours were swept together and piled up into a hill.
The lively sound outside the door never stopped, and the laughter and joy inside the door never stopped for a moment.
In the lobby, as soon as Xue Anyuan responded to the commander of the 19th Army, he called his confidential secretary Qi Rusheng to find Xue Xiang, who was already so busy that he was dizzy.
As soon as Xue Xiang arrived at the main hall, he was pulled into the room by Xue Anyuan in military uniform, "Old, what's wrong with you? You asked you to do it, but I didn't say that I could do it. Why did I listen to Xiaowan's words for a while? Most of the tables came outside. I remember that the people from the old army had not come yet? If they came here, would you still have to borrow a table?"
In fact, Xue Anyuan decided to hold his birthday purely for Xue Xiang's consideration. In just two years, after several storms, Xue Anyuan had already seen that his nephew had high ambitions. It would be fine if Xue Xiang was just ambition and talent, but Xue Anyuan might not have been tormented with him. But Xue Xiang was as smart as a gift, and he was unparalleled in the sky. He was involved in several shocking storms and waves, and he still survived safely and made profits step by step. In addition, Xue Anyuan made great achievements in this battle of the Southern Expedition, and also relyed on Xue Xiang's help. In this way, Xue Anyuan had already made Xue Xiang a blessing, lucky, and capable Xue family, and had great expectations for Xue Xiang's future career.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Xue Anyuan eliminated the interference, made up his mind to return to Xue Xiang.
But when Zhang Mu returned to Zhang Mu, Xue Anyuan didn't expect that Zhang had gone too far. He had been accepting congratulations in the middle hall, and the people who came to celebrate the birthday did not break up since the opening of the door. It was fine to have a group of relatives and old friends who were intimate, but many of those guests who could not beat eight poles also came, especially the military officials in Beijing. Almost all of them handed over congratulations with their brothers, and some even came in person. Such a sensation naturally made Xue Anyuan feel suspicious.
At this moment, when Xue Anyuan mentioned it, Xue Xiang also realized that something was wrong. There were more and more visitors. If this trend continued, he might have to borrow a table. After a brief discussion, the uncle and nephew made a decision. On this side, Xue Xiang went out and asked Lei Xiaotian, Zhu Shijun, and Hao Yunlai to greet his stubborn brothers and go to dinner with the new overseas Chinese. Because Xue Xiang was outspoken and told the secret, no one would make any decision. Besides, the visitors were actually a group of high-ranking officials and officials. These stubborn masters were uncomfortable to stay, so they followed Lei Xiaotian and Zhu Shijun.
On that side, Xue Anyuan went back to the room and shook the phone, stopping the old subordinates of the A Army who had not arrived. Just like that, both sides worked together to suppress the sound of the flowers and the fire cooking oil.
At 11:00, Lao Xia, the chef of Donglaishun, invited at a high price, came to report that the table was ready and asked when the banquet would be held. Xue Xiang frowned slightly, said "Wait for the notice" and sent it out.
At this moment, Xue Xiang was still smiling, dealing with several guests who were congratulating each other from time to time, but his eyes were staring at the gate, and bleeding was about to drip.
"Can't you really wait? Could it be that you don't like to show off here?" Xue Xiang stood in the corridor, his heart boiling.
"A guest is here!" The melodious voice of Mr. Zhike who was invited outside the door came. Xue Xiang was shocked and took a few steps to meet the door. When he saw the visitor, the light in his eyes immediately became much dimmed, and it was obvious that the visitor was not waiting for!
"Brother Xue, congratulations!"
"Old, congratulations!"
The visitor is not someone else. The first one spoke was Jiang Chaotian, and the next one greeted Shi Jianfei. Xue Xiang did not expect that these two guys who could not beat eight shots would come together. After all, no one in the two families joined the army, and neither Jiang Geyang nor Shi Guozhong nor Shi Lao, they had almost no intersection with Xue Anyuan. As for Xue Xiang and these two, although they had past, they all had a holiday relationship.
Xue Xiang was just a little surprised and didn't respond immediately. Jiang Chaotian picked out his advice: "What, looking at Brother Xue's expression, it's not very welcome! But whether you welcome it or not doesn't matter. Today, Jianfei and I are here to celebrate General Xue's birthday, it has nothing to do with you..."
Xue Xiang smiled and said, "Section Chief Jiang and Brother Shi are here, so there is no reason why they are not welcome. Could it be that you, Section Chief Jiang, holds a grudge and wants to come back because you invited me a few meals? Well, don't complain. Today, you can open your stomach and even eat and take it..."
In terms of verbal skills and thick-skinnedness, Jiang Chaotian thought he would never beat this guy. He joked a few times and said he wanted to celebrate General Xue's birthday. Xue Xiang was so upset that he was too lazy to continue his mouth, so he led the two to the central hall. The two handed the gifts they brought to Mr. Zhike of the central hall, bowed and said a few words of congratulations to Xue Anyuan. Xue Anyuan said thank you, and was led by Xue Anyuan to the garden on the left side of the courtyard. (To be continued)
