Respectfully

"I heard that you gave Qiao Leshan a rotten watermelon to make fun of him?"

Li Jinyan knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he gave Qiao Leshan a special gift, but what he didn't expect was that even Mrs. Lou was curious about it.

"Mother, don't listen to other people's nonsense. If this word spreads, it will have no meaning." Li Jinyan hurriedly explained: "I did give Qiao Leshan a long-haired watermelon, but this watermelon is of great use."

"Oh?" Mrs. Lou became even more curious. What's the use of a long-haired watermelon?

"I can't say the specific use right now." Li Jinyan said: "I'll tell you when Qiao Leshan's research comes out. Anyway, it's a good thing."

When Mrs. Lou heard Li Jinyan's words, she knew there must be another reason, so she stopped asking.Thinking of the girl who deliberately mentioned this matter in front of her, she frowned slightly.

"mother?"

"It's nothing." Mrs. Lou waved her hands, supported her waist and said, "It's just a little sore."

The two were talking, when Marshal Lou and Marshal Lou came in from the door, the first thing Marshal Lou did when he entered the door was to take off his hat and coat, Marshal Lou was fine, but there was a layer of sweat on his forehead thin sweat.

"What's the matter, why is it so hot?" Mrs. Lou asked in surprise.

"Don't mention it soon. Those people in the military academy are full of food, and they insist on holding the opening ceremony on such a day, and they insist on me going to give lectures. They stood under the sun for more than two hours," Lou Dashuai took the girl and held it up. Wiped his face with a towel, and let out a sigh of relief, "Give me something cold, my throat is going to burn."

With that said, he even unbuttoned his shirt.

Mrs. Lou frowned, "What are you doing, Yan'er is still there."

Lou Dashuai laughed twice, touched his bald head, "Daughter-in-law, don't mind, your father and I are really hot enough."

"No." Li Jinyan shook his head with a smile, and asked the girl to wash a plate of cantaloupe and serve it. Most of the watermelons on the farm were ruined by wild boars, and only cantaloupe was left to eat.Li Jinyan was worried that the wild boars would come again, so he simply asked the people on the farm to pick all the ripe melons and bring them back to a part of the Marshal's Mansion. The second wife and Li's family gave some, and the people on the farm shared the rest.As for canned fruit, there are not many melons planted this year, and it will not be too late to expand the planting area next year.

Young Marshal Lou tore open the collar of his military uniform jacket, sat next to Li Jinyan, picked up the cantaloupe he had put aside before, and bit off a large piece with his mouth.

"Young commander, I have eaten..."

"kindness?"

"Forget it, you can eat."

Li Sanshao stopped talking, Young Marshal Lou finished the cantaloupe in two bites, the girl brought up the washed melon, Marshal Lou also picked up a big mouthful and started to gnaw, saying, "Daughter-in-law, I heard you Gave Qiao Leshan a long-haired watermelon?"

Li Jinyan: "..."

It seems that no matter in which era, the power of gossip is extraordinary.

No way, Li Jinyan had to repeat what he said to Mrs. Lou, emphasizing again and again to Marshal Lou and Young Marshal Lou that he gave Qiao Leshan a rotten watermelon. It doesn't matter that he asked for a raise several times.

"The matter of giving watermelon is because I didn't consider it carefully." Li Jinyan reflected on himself, if he hadn't been overjoyed for a while, sending watermelon to Qiao Leshan with great fanfare in front of everyone, or a rotten watermelon, he would not have provoked such a situation at all. Many people paid attention, "But I am definitely not fooling around."

Li Jinyan spoke seriously, and Marshal Lou and Mrs. Lou were no longer in the mood to tease. Marshal Lou stroked Li Jinyan's back with his big hand, and squeezed his shoulder. Li Jinyan turned his head, and Marshal Lou's hand had already been retracted. , Marshal He Lou said: "Father, about the military academy..."

Today is the opening ceremony of the military academy in the six northern provinces, Marshal Lou and Young Marshal Lou, as well as important figures in the army are all present.This year's military academy has twice as many students as before, and many of them are primary and middle school graduates who can read and write, and two of them are high-achieving students who have been admitted to the Capital University.

These students have been watched by the divisions from the very beginning. From the division commander to the regiment leader, everyone's eyes are red.As long as they performed well during the military academy, passed the assessment, and entered the army, they were at least a class platoon leader.

There were too many monks and too little porridge, so that before the rice was put into the pot, these teachers and regimental leaders had already blushed and fought for a while, and almost moved their hands.

In addition to the students themselves, their clothes are also very eye-catching.Although the color and style have not changed much compared to the past, wearing them on these young guys makes them look more energetic!

There are also cowhide armed belts, rubber-soled military shoes, and large-brimmed hats. It is said that even shirts, underwear and socks are a complete set.

"Master Yan made this in the quilt factory?" Wei Zongguo, the commander of the Eighth Division, stabbed Jiang Yulin, the head of the logistics department who was standing beside him, "Old Jiang, you are not kind, these raw melon eggs are so good to wear. Do you look at us?"

Jiang Yulin turned his head and sighed, "Mr. Wei, there is nothing you can do about it. How many people are there in the military academy, and how many people are there in your division?"

Zhao Yue, the commander of the third division, also came over: "Lao Jiang, don't lie to us just to save some money."

"Am I that kind of person?" Jiang Yulin snapped his fingers and counted with these two soldiers, "This is not just a military uniform, but also shoes, socks, underwear and shirts, two sets of summer and winter, and the armed belt is made of cowhide , plus bedding, if you can replace them all with this one, how much do you want?"

Master Wei and Master Zhao took a deep breath at the same time, and Du Yuzhang, who was standing in front of them, suddenly coughed lightly. Only then did the three realize that they were still standing on the podium. It was not a big deal for the students below to see. Immediately shut his mouth, but Du Yuzhang turned his head instead and said to them: "What are these military school students wearing? Look at the young commander!"

The three of them looked at Young Marshal Lou at the same time. As expected, Young Marshal Lou was standing next to Marshal Lou. He was wearing a light brown military uniform, with a palm-width belt stretching out his thin waist. He had snow-white gloves and a cap badge inlaid with gold. The big-brimmed hat really "stands out from the crowd", and looks magnificent.Take another look at yourself, well, the old turtle didn't run away.

"Young Marshal's body is also custom-made by Master Yan's quilt factory." Jiang Yulin said, "My nephew works as an instructor in the Young Marshal's Independent Brigade Recruit Battalion. He told me that the Independent Brigade will soon change its clothes. They are all made according to the outfit worn by the young commander, and the soldiers below are also dressed..."

Before Jiang Yulin finished speaking, Du Yuzhang in front coughed again, and Jiang Yulin muttered: "What are you coughing again, to scare people or something?"

When he looked up, he found that Marshal Lou's eyes had already swept over him coldly.

Minister Jiang immediately shut up, stood up straight, and stopped talking.

In fact, Jiang Yulin and several division commanders were not the only ones who stared at Young Marshal Lou's military uniform, even Marshal Lou said to Young Marshal Lou, "Son, you look really good in this outfit. I want to wear it even for you." on myself."

Marshal Lou: "Father, you can't fit me in my size."

Marshal Lou: "..."

After the ceremony of the military academy, Grand Marshal Lou went home and thought about this incident again, looking at Young Marshal Lou, he started to get lucky.Mrs. Lou has long been used to the relationship between father and son, Li Jinyan didn't say a word, but Marshal Lou suddenly didn't want to be lucky with Young Marshal Lou, looked at him sullenly, rubbed his big hands together, "Daughter-in-law...Jinyan, daddy There is something I want to discuss with you."

Li Jinyan couldn't help shrinking back, "Just tell me if you have something to say."

"Xiao'er's body, what did you do?"

"No, it was made by the garment factory."

"It doesn't matter who made it. How about making a set for Daddy?"

"Marshal," Li Jinyan thought for a while, but still told the truth: "Young Marshal's size and fit, you can't wear it."

"..." The couple, what a TNND couple!

"Let me design another set for the handsome man." Li Jinyan continued: "The master craftsmen in the factory are all good at craftsmanship. If you change the style, the handsome man will definitely wear it."

Marshal Lou was satisfied, but Mrs. Lou gave him a dissatisfied look. How can a father-in-law just beg for something from a child so carelessly?

"Yan'er, ignore him."

"Mother," Li Jinyan said with a smile, "I still want to change the uniforms of the troops in the six northern provinces, but I don't have that much ability right now, so I can only change them for the independent brigade of the young commander first, and then I will take my time."

Young Marshal Lou held Li Jinyan's hand, but did not speak.

Mrs. Lou turned back and patted Mr. Lou, "Did you hear that? Remember to ask Jiang Yulin to pay Yan'er according to the price!"

"Of course." Marshal Lou sneered, "How can you not pay for making clothes?"

Returning to the room after dinner, Young Marshal Lou took out an envelope from the pocket of his military jacket and handed it to Li Jinyan, motioning him to open it.

"What is this?" Li Jinyan took it and found that there was a Deutsche Bank money order in the envelope, no more, no less, exactly 1000 million marks.

"I'll give you whatever you want." Marshal Lou clasped the back of Li Jinyan's neck with his big hand and pressed it against his forehead, "So, don't hide anything from me."

Li Jinyan opened his mouth, but in the end he just said, "I know, young commander."

Marshal Lou looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed his lips with a little force. Although he didn't hurt him, it did hurt a little.Li Jinyan embraced Young Marshal Lou's shoulders, closed his eyes, and kissed back forcefully...

The next day, Li Jinyan woke up unexpectedly early. When he opened his eyes, he saw Marshal Lou standing by the bed, arranging his military uniform. The brass buckle and belt rubbed against each other slightly. Li Jinyan looked at Marshal Lou's back, and once again I sigh that God is really eccentric.

"Are you awake?" Young Marshal Lou turned around, holding a military cap in his hand. Li Jinyan lay lazily on the bed, looking at him without blinking. San Shao said in a low voice, "If you want to stay in bed for a day, go ahead."

Li Sanshao shuddered, and smiled guiltily, he really didn't do it on purpose, who made Master Lou so attractive?

After breakfast, Marshal Lou went to the barracks. Starting today, the Independent Brigade and the 1rd Division will switch defenses, and the 370rd Division will go to Rehe to replace the original 820th ​​Division.The three brigades of the Ninth Division have a total of 60 people. After elimination and reorganization, there are still [-] people left.Among them, most of the personnel who were eliminated were the brigade under Meng Chou, and the two brigades under Rao Youchang and Xiao Yongwu basically did not change much, and were merged into the Sixth Division of the Guangdong Army and the No.

The original Sixth Division of the Cantonese Army was changed to the Sixth Division of the Six Northern Provinces, with three brigades and nine battalions under its jurisdiction and an artillery battalion under the division.The division commander Tang Yuhuang, the deputy division commander Rao Youchang, and the staff remained unchanged, and Rao Youchang concurrently served as the commander of the [-]st Brigade.

The No.60 First Division of the original Guangxi Army was changed to the No.60 First Division of the Six Northern Provinces, which is also the establishment of the Third Brigade and Nine Battalions.The division commander Pang Tianyi, the deputy division commander Xiao Yongwu, and Xiao Yongwu also served as the brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade.

The Sixth Division and the No.60 First Division are newly formed teams, but almost all of them are veterans, and less than one-fifth of them are recruits. Both Tang Yuhuang and Pang Tianyi were brought back by Young Marshal Lou. Like the border guards, he has long been labeled as Marshal Lou.

Regarding this situation, it's not that no one is gossiping. The son is busy pulling his team before the father dies?

After Lou Dashuai found out, he called all the people who spread these words to his front, and at the same time called together a group of old brothers under him, and said loudly: "My son can pull up his own team, that's his ability! I, Lou Shengfeng, would rather My son is a dragon that can bite his father to death in one bite, and I don't want him to be a useless worm!"

Everyone was silent, Marshal Lou patted Marshal Lou on the shoulder: "How about it, bastard, did you hear what your father said?"

Young Marshal Lou knocked his heels together, brought his knees together, and his figure was as tall and straight as a snowy pine, "Yes, father!"

"I put the words here today," Lou Dashuai put away the smile on his face, and looked coldly at the few people who intended to pass on the message before, "I don't pursue some things, but it doesn't mean I don't know! I think in the past For the sake of your affection, please restrain yourself, don't blame me, Lou Shengfeng, for being cruel and ruthless when the day comes when I don't give you face!"

After this incident, no one in the military government of the six northern provinces dared to easily provoke the relationship between the father and son of the Lou family. Marshal Lou said to the young marshal Lou earnestly: "Father and son of the Tian family are ruthless. Headed up."

"Father……"

"These people are all following me to fight the country, greedy for money, grabbing power, as long as they are not too much, I can tolerate them. But," Lou Dashuai changed the subject, "don't cross the line. Xiao'er, you also remember So, you can't be tolerant or too strict with your subordinates. It's difficult to grasp this degree, but it's what the superior must do. Your father is reckless, you are different, do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes."

"The Lou family, the six northern provinces, and even... will be yours in the future." Marshal Lou looked at Young Marshal Lou, "I'm 58 this year, and I don't know how many years I can live. I'm not afraid of you seizing power, I'm afraid You are too slow! The day you subdue the gang of old brothers under my hand, I can feel at ease one day earlier, and maybe I can enjoy a few more years of happiness with your mother."

"Father," Young Marshal Lou said very seriously, "You are in good health and can live a long time."

Marshal Lou: "..." If this bastard didn't get so angry that his liver hurts every now and then, he should still live a few more years.

After Li Jinyan got the 1000 million mark, he immediately started the design and planning of the industrial zone.

With money in hand, you have confidence in your heart.Taking advantage of the immigrant tide and the land price was considered cheap, Li Jinyan waved his hand and directly bought nearly [-] mu of land.After buying the land, he immediately visited Director Meng of the Transportation Bureau of the Six Northern Provinces.Mr. Meng Lao was one of the former Qing students studying in the United States, specializing in architecture, but unfortunately failed to obtain a degree, and was summoned back to China by the Qing court halfway through his studies.His two sons have also made great achievements in architecture, especially the eldest son Meng Bo, who has a lot of research on roads and bridges, and is now working in the military government.Li Jinyan learned about the capabilities of Mr. Meng and the two young masters from Zhan Changqing, so he personally came to visit with gifts.

"Meng Gong, I'm taking the liberty to visit, I really need you."

Li Jinyan came to visit in person, and his posture was still so low. Leaving aside Mr. Meng, the two young masters were flattered.Now in the six northern provinces, who doesn't know the ability of young master Li San and his status in the Lou family?

"Master Yan, don't dare to do it." Mr. Meng has three long beards under his chin, his face is slender, and his body is very tough. He doesn't look like a government official, but more like a well-educated professor and scholar. "If you have orders, it's okay to say so." .Even if it is too old to be reused, there are still two dogs to drive."

Hearing what he said, Li Jinyan no longer hid it, and simply and neatly outlined his plan to build an industrial zone, "The land has already been bought, a total of [-] mu, but it's all wasteland. I want to go first Level up the land, separate out different factory areas, build roads between the factory areas, and then build the factory buildings.”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he could tell that Li Sanshao was a complete layman in terms of architectural planning. The plan sounded good, but the implementation of such a project was as simple as he said?

"I also know that I don't know anything about this." Li Jinyan said without hesitation: "That's why I came to ask Meng Gong and the two young masters for help."

Mr. Meng stroked his beard, smiled and did not speak. Meng Bo was old enough to be stable. Meng Tao was in his early twenties and was impatient. Take a breath.

After the matter was agreed upon, Li Jinyan took his leave and left.

After he left, Meng Tao said directly, "This Third Young Master Li is really quite humble. Just ask if you don't understand, and don't pretend to understand like ordinary people."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Mr. Meng glared at him, and said, "Listen carefully, and don't underestimate him just because he is young. This young master is not a simple one."

Brothers Meng Bo and Meng Tao were supposed to do it together, and they each had their own calculations in their hearts.

Li Jinyan left Meng's house. Seeing that it was still early, he ordered the driver to drive to the Jiahua factory.It happened that Master Li San was in the factory, and when he saw Li Jinyan, he hurriedly grabbed him, "Nephew, it's really not easy to see you now."

"Third Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Li Jinyan was amused by Master Li San's sad face, "What's the matter?"

"It's difficult, there is one thing." Li Qingyun smacked his lips, pulled Li Jinyan back to his office, closed the door, and said, "Nephew, third uncle can only ask you for help."

"Third Uncle, you always have to tell me what's the matter so that I can help?"

"It's your sister's marriage."

"Huh?" Li Jinyan was stunned for a moment, "Jinshu or Jinhua?" In my impression, they were still two little girls.But thinking of Miss Six and Miss Seven of the Lou family, Li Jinyan felt relieved.

"Jin Shu." Master Li San said, "Jin Hua's marriage has already been settled, and I also like Jin Shu, so I want to ask you to help me make peace."

"Third Uncle, the more you talk about it, the more confused I become. Why do you want me to make peace? I'm not a matchmaker."

"No, listen to me," Li Qingyun leaned into Li Jinyan's ear, and said such and such, Li Jinyan's eyes widened suddenly.

"Adjutant Ji?"

"Yes, that's him." Master Li San said, "I've found out clearly that there's no one to choose from. Your third uncle and I, even if we're not officials, are now number one in Guanbei City, and Jinshu is My daughter-in-law has also studied in the school for two years, and with you as my cousin, she is not considered high-ranking, is she?"

Li Jinyan thought for a while, and said to Master Li San: "Uncle, the marriage of Adjutant Ji is not something I just said. I have to ask him himself, and then ask what the young commander means. You should Knows better than me."

"It's natural." Master Li San said.

"Third uncle, I want to say something up front. Marriage must be consensual. Let me say it is one thing, and whether Adjutant Ji agrees or not is another. You'd better ask your sister what she means, and don't feel wronged at that time." she."

"I know all of this." Master Li San said with a smile, "As long as my nephew is willing to help, I will remember your affection regardless of whether I become uncle or not."

After talking about the matter, Master Li San beamed, but Li Jinyan's mouth twitched, and asked him to help make a marriage proposal. Could it be that he still has the potential to be a matchmaker?What is this called!
