Chapter 72 Birthday
It was only early summer, and the night was particularly cool. 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 and it was very helpful for people to 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 settling down, he asked the three young masters to wash it, he lay on the bed early, began to recall, ponder, and more importantly, reflect. After lying down for a while, he kept savoring Xue Anyuan's not-so-long words: "The third brother, it is not good to be a person's behavior, but it is even more harmful to stick to old rules. 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 the truth. Not only did Xue Xiang not be as unfaithful as ordinary children were tired of listening to parents' great truths, but he was as if he was 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 was too deeply influenced by the words "low-key" of Comrade Xu Zigan and Comrade Zhenhua. He was so profound that he was so misinterpreted that he was afraid of making a move. He almost regarded these words as a rule of conduct. Gradually, he was not concerned about things and did not say anything. He was actually a scattered life.
The more Xue Xiang thought deeply, the more he gained, and his thinking gradually spread according to Xue Anyuan's words, and he even thought of the great men in the past, and then compared the behaviors 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 old leader has risen and fallen several times, and he still has firm will and behaviors higher than others. A great man is destined to be a great man. These two great men have a strong personality and character. They have a strong personal character in their behaviors.
Xue Xiang thought, thinking, constantly flipping his body, and felt more and more annoyed, so he raised his hand to take the cigarette box from the bedside, and just lit a cigarette. He thought of the little guy who was sleeping soundly beside him, and then pressed the cigarette butts to extinguish it.
He couldn't sleep, so Xue Xiang simply got up, walked in front of the window, and looked into the distance. But he saw the bright moon in the sky, and the water in the distance was gone, and the peaks of Yutang Mountain were 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. Just as he was closing the window and returning to the bed, suddenly, a gust of wind outside the window was suddenly blowing, which made Yutang Mountain in the distance seem to be swaying. The nearby pond was even more swaying, and a poplar that was several meters close to the pond was 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, a half-foot-high wormwood grew. 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 you will never look back.
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 the car and went to his home in Beijing on the evening of May 5th. Since Xue Anyuan decided to have a grand ceremony, Xue Xiang used all his skills and started to move.
If Xue Lao San is now capable, if he really wants to do something seriously, his momentum will naturally be amazing. As soon as the news of "The Third Brother's Family is going to do a wedding" was released, people from all walks of life gathered together early on May 6th. After two days and two nights of trouble, by the morning of the Ninth, the new house of Xue's family had been completely renewed, and a half-mile-length mattress was set up outside the door, and a hundred tables were placed one by one. The blowing team invited three, Wula, Wula, and Wula.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and in the mat sheds on both sides of the door, hundreds of large mahogany eight immortal tables were already half full. The open space of hundreds of square meters 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, Xue Anyuan had just responded to the commander of the 39th Army, so 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, "Three, 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 for a while? Most of the hundred tables outside have been sitting there? I remember that the people from the old army have not come yet? If they come too, will 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, Xue Anyuan didn't expect that Zhang had just 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 guests who could not beat them were also here, especially the military officials in Beijing, who almost all handed the congratulatory notes with their children, 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, his 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 Xinqiao. Because Xue Xiang was outspoken and told the secret, no one would make any decision. Besides, the visitor was 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!"
"San, 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 him 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 thickness, Jiang Chaotian thought he would never be better than 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 thanked him and was led by Xue Anyuan to the garden on the left side of the courtyard. (To be continued)
