Stand-in Raiders

That year was the year of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and Xiao Guofu happened to be born in that year.

The Xiao family at that time, because they stood in the right position during the Anti-Japanese War, donated most of their family property, which was preserved intact during the great purge after the Anti-Japanese War.

When Xiao Guofu was born, the old man of the Xiao family chose to settle in City A just after the national disaster. Xiao Guofu was born on the day when the Xiao family first arrived in City A. It happened to be evening when he was born, and the whole sky was dyed with red clouds.

"This child will definitely inherit the blood of my Xiao family." The old man of the Xiao family took over the newborn child wrapped in a quilt from the midwife, "This child happens to be born today, and this generation just happens to be born today." If it is the son of the country, it is named Guofu."

"Dad, give me a hug." Xiao Zhiyuan looked at the child with jealousy. This was his first child, so it was naturally a treasure.

"This is the eldest grandson of the Xiao family." The old man of the Xiao family carefully placed the child in Xiao Zhiyuan's hands, "If you discipline him well in the future, you will definitely become a great hero!"

The old man of the Xiao family was one of the last batch of scholars. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was the top of that batch of scholars.It's a pity that he didn't meet the good times. He was still ambitious and ready to make a career, report to the imperial court, and serve as the common people.

It's a pity that the ship's iron guns have opened the door, the cowardice of the court, the decadence of officials, and the retreat of the army, everything is so sad.

When the country is in ruins, what future can we talk about?

It is also because the old man of the Xiao family has enough courage, he abandoned his pen and joined the army, and decided to realize his desire to serve the country in another way amidst the fireworks of naval guns.

Even if you are a scholar in feudal society, you take stereotyped shares and work for the imperial court, but your thoughts are still not imprisoned. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, you also read "Sizhou Zhi" and "Haiguo Tuzhi". The new idea of ​​learning from barbarians to improve their skills to control barbarians, and the new saying of natural selection in "Evolution and Ethics".

When "Mr. Sai" and "Mr. De" were first introduced to this closed land, the old man of the Xiao family had already foreseen the great changes that would soon follow. Still a ghostly ship.

Xiao Guofu is favored by the old man of the Xiao family, and he is also a good young man who studies well. He grew up to 16 years old without suffering much, and even made a marriage with the very famous Miss Tong family in City A.

This young lady of the Tong family is also a formidable person. She went to a girls' school, but she studied a lot more than many other people. She was even sent by her family to Beisu to study for two years. .

It was also under the stimulation of Miss Tong's family that Xiao Guofu also asked his grandfather to go to Beisu to learn more advanced knowledge. After leaving, he didn't come until he was almost 25.

"Go and see if Guofu is back!" The old man of Xiao's family sat in the upper seat of the lobby and sent someone to watch, "It is clear that there is news that he is coming back today. Why haven't we seen anyone? People miss it."

The most beloved grandson has been gone for seven years. Although there is a trustee who sends back news, even if he knows that he is fine, he still can't let go of the worries in his heart.

The old man of the Xiao family never let go of his worries about his eldest grandson.

After waiting for a while, the old man couldn't sit still anymore. He got up and walked back and forth in the hall with a cane. From time to time, he went to the door to look around, and from time to time told the people around him to prepare some grandson's favorite dishes. He sent someone to ask his son when he would be able to come back.

Finally, the person with the messenger ran in, "Here, come back! Someone has already arrived, saying that Xiao Guofu is right behind!"

"Where's the person?!" At this moment, the old man threw away the crutches that he had used for almost three years, and ran directly to the door. He didn't look like an old man with limited mobility at all.

"There's a car just behind! There are too many people in this car, and Master Xiao Guofu is waiting for the next car!" The visitor was all smiles, wanting to win a prize.

The old man thought he understood, he took out a few tencents from his pocket, and put them in the hands of the visitor, "Thank you, please go and wait, if you see someone, remind me Urge him to come back quickly."

Someone came and rolled up a few tickets and put them close to his body, "Okay, old man, I will definitely look at them carefully."

Seeing the man walk away, the old man went back to the chair and sat down, but he stood up again within a few minutes.

"Dad, has Guofu come back?" Xiao Zhiyuan only saw his old father in the hall and didn't see Xiao Guofu, so he understood that the bastard hadn't come back yet. When he gets home, I'm afraid he can clean up and have dinner directly."

"It's your son who is hungry. Whenever I come back, I'll bring him food. I'm sure he didn't eat on the way." The old man rolled his eyes at his eldest son, "Co-author It’s not that you don’t feel bad when you’re hungry, do you?”

"Dad, what do you say, I feel sorry for my son too." Xiao Zhiyuan helped the old man sit on the chair, and he himself sat down on the chair he left behind, "Didn't I just come from Tong's house?" Is it? The young lady of the Tong family, who is married to Guofu, is [-] this year, we have to find a time to do this, or it will delay her."

"Let's talk about it after Guofu comes back." The old man actually didn't like the young lady of the Tong family, and he didn't know what he had learned when he went out a few years ago. He heard that he went to Beisu with his aunt at home, and she was the only one in the end. The man came back, but my aunt stayed in Beisu, and I don't know if something happened.

"Understood, Dad." Xiao Zhiyuan didn't refute. As long as the old man is around for one day, he can be the master of the day, and he can only suggest many things.

The Xiao family has preserved some of the original property through various methods. It is not to say that they are very wealthy now, but they know that they can be self-sufficient. Xiao Zhiyuan also hired a group of people to work on the border of the Northern Soviet Union. A little "small business" is also a lot of money.

However, the Tong family has a deep foundation, and they don't know what kind of relationship they rely on. They are doing some high-end businesses in the country that the Xiao family regards as very high-end.

At least Xiao Zhiyuan felt that the Tong family's marriage was the result of their family's admiration, that is, the old man looked down on the so-called "copper smell" businessman with his literati's aloofness.

"Master Xiao Guofu is back!" Just as Xiao Zhiyuan and the old man were still thinking about the Tong family, Xiao Guofu had already arrived at the door.

"Oh, my good grandson is back!" The old man got up straight away and ran to the door, "Zhiyuan, go and see my good grandson."

Xiao Zhiyuan carried a suitcase by himself, and there were two men who bought coolies behind him to carry the luggage for him. After going out for seven years, he brought back a lot of things.

"Grandpa, Dad!" Upon arriving home, Xiao Guofu naturally saw Xiao Zhiyuan and the old man, "I'm back!"

After rushing forward, Xiao Guofu hugged his old man, "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still so energetic!"

"Grandpa is old, hurry up, let grandpa see if you have lost weight, are you not used to eating outside? I have prepared dishes for you, and I will wait for you to come back. They are all what you like to eat, or The chef's old skills, let you eat your fill!" The old man hugged Xiao Guofu, then led him into the house, and kept muttering, "I see, you are just skinny, and you are almost out of flesh. Alright, let's make up for it..."

Xiao Guofu responded to the old man's words, and said a few words to the father on the other side, and was taken to the side hall for dinner.

The dishes on the table were very rich, and a plate of boiled shrimp, which is rare in this season, was made. Xiao Guofu looked at the portions on the table, and said to Xiao Zhiyuan and the old man, "Grandpa, Dad, let's eat together?"

"No, no, it's a lot of oil. Grandpa can't get it out, so you eat it slowly." Looking at his grandson, the old man laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he didn't even notice that he lost the crutch in his hand.

"Dad is not hungry, you can eat first. Dad will ask someone to pack up the things you brought back." Xiao Zhiyuan will not fight with his son for food, not to mention that the rules of the Xiao family are also very strict. They do not eat after noon. It is good for the body to eat on time.

"Then I'll eat!" Xiao Zhiyuan said to the two of them, "I have too much luggage, why don't I pack it up tomorrow, I even brought a gift for you two elders!"

"My dear grandson, you must be hungry, eat first, gifts or something, let's talk after eating." The old man heard that Xiao Guofu did not forget to bring him a gift when he returned home, and the smile on his face was even brighter. Xiao Zhiyuan who was on the side was also secretly happy when he heard it.

Xiao Guofu buried his head in his meal and didn't pay attention to the performance of these two people.

After Xiao Guofu finished his meal, the person Xiao Zhiyuan sent to inform Tong's family also returned a message, saying that both the master and lady of Tong's family knew the news and that they would visit in three days.

Xiao Guofu, who had just finished eating and cleaned his hands, also heard the news, "Is Ruomei the eldest lady of the Tong family?"

"That's right, it's the young lady of the Tong family who was engaged to you at the beginning. You still remember it. If you find a time, you still arrange the marriage and bring her in this morning. She is also twenty-one years old now. It's your age, and it's you who have delayed the family."

"Then let's talk about this issue when Uncle Tong's family comes in three days later?" Xiao Guofu was very impressed with Miss Tong's family. After all, he would have thought of going to Beisu to study abroad at the beginning, so he accepted this girl who came back from Beisu. The influence of Missy.

"You child, the Tong family will come to visit you tomorrow. How can you mention such a thing? You need to find an auspicious time to visit the door to ask for marriage." Xiao Zhiyuan disagreed with Xiao Guofu's words. But there is no meaning of blame.

Xiao Guofu turned his head around and bowed to his father, "It's the kid who made a mistake, and my father will forgive me."

When Xiao Guofu straightened up, the father and son looked at each other and smiled.

The author has something to say:

Ahhhh, the main text is stuck, let's put up the Xiao family's side story first.

After reading so many comments, I suddenly feel that Li Yunian's character is a bit out of control. I have to think about how to go about the next plot!
