War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 533: Nothing But Simplicity

Lao Xu timidly pushed open the door. Just as he poked his head out through the crack, he saw military uniforms everywhere and quickly retracted his head!
It's like he just showed his head specially to dazzle everyone!
"Girl, hurry up and grab the child and slide out the back door!"

"Damn it! I told you that you can't be a soldier in this era. You must have gotten into trouble again and people are surrounding you. I told you that you don't have the heroic spirit, but you insisted on saying 'no'!"

Old Xu's hair has turned gray and his face has age spots, but his mouth is still the same as always, with his never-changing northeastern accent.

The wives of officials outside the door were all covering their mouths and laughing softly. Old Xizi Yan was also smiling with her lips pursed, and she lowered her head slightly while laughing. It seemed that everyone in the city was watching his performance. Old Xu had staged a "old man scolding his son" drama when Yuan Fuzhen was planning to become the mother of the country.

"No wonder the eldest daughter of the Yu family didn't want him. Even though that thing isn't that great, with no breasts in front, no buttocks in the back, and a hard hip bone, it's not easy to raise a child, but you've done what she wanted this time."

Dang, Dang, Dang!

The door was knocked again: "In-laws? In-laws~"

"Open the door first, things are not what you think!"

Deputy Director Li was so angry. What is this critical moment? What are you talking about?
The one who was even more angry than Deputy Director Li was Yu Qiulan!
What does it mean to have no chest in front and no buttocks in the back? Who are you saying has no chest in front and no buttocks in the back?
Who still thinks it's tough!

How come everyone in your Xu family is so good at swearing?
"In-laws! Open the door, good things!"

"Don't bluff me!" Old Xu leaned his back against the door and shouted, "I know everything. My son was a deserter in SH and was scolded by the Jinling government in the newspapers. But my son is not a traitor. It's just that he ran away because he couldn't win the fight. Have you fought? How come there are still devils on this land after you have fought them?"

"Don't bully us, an orphan and a widow, while my son is away. When my son comes back, you bastards will fuck us to pieces!"

The old man refused to open the door no matter what, as if his son's entire family was going to be exterminated and he himself was going to die, and he cursed to his heart's content first.

"relatives by marriage!"

Deputy Director Li suddenly shouted, and then patiently advised: "It's not what you think!"

Suddenly, the courtyard became quiet, and a voice came out through the crack in the door: "What did you call me?"

"relatives by marriage!"

"I am the uncle of your daughter-in-law. Your daughter-in-law is Yuan Fuzhen, the daughter of the Yuan family. She was also a princess. Do you understand me this time?"

The old man was silent. I don't know if he was thinking or if he didn't believe it at all.
After a long while, a question came out: "Can I?"

"Is this true? The top leader of Taiyuan Second War Zone is here, and Commander Yan is right outside the door!"

Commander Yan?
He has been in Shanxi for so many years, and if he doesn't know who Yan Laoxizi is, his life would have been in vain.

squeak~
The door was opened, but only a crack. The old man was inside the door, holding the bolt with one hand and peeking out with one eye, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly pull the door open.

Sure enough, in addition to the soldiers at the door, there was also a carriage. Next to the carriage, a woman was kneeling at the door, and outside the courtyard gate, a man in a suit was talking.

"My dear relatives, please open the door quickly, or we will be laughed at."

It doesn't look like they are arresting someone, otherwise wouldn't the soldiers rush over? Why is there no movement at all?

He carefully pushed the door open and tentatively stepped one foot out of the door frame, then quickly retracted it. Seeing that no one moved, he stepped out and stood next to Deputy Director Li: "That (cut, pronounced with a sound, expressing doubt, meaning is this the case)?"

Before Deputy Director Li could say anything, Yuan Fuzhen hit her head on the ground and said, "Dad!"

Lao Xu looked at Yuan Fuzhen, and waited until she slowly raised her head before he recognized her!
It was his daughter-in-law! He had seen this person before. Xu Chaoyang’s wedding was reported in the newspapers, and someone even gave him the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. The woman in the photo was this woman.

When this photo appeared in the newspaper that day, Old Xu sat on the kang in Shanxi and cursed his son for half the night. He scolded his son for being so righteous and for not even discussing such a big matter with him. Who would have thought that his daughter-in-law would come to visit today.

Lao Xu stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do. Deputy Director Li advised him, "This is not the time to be absent-minded. Officer Yan is still standing outside. You are the host and the rest of us are guests. Please invite them inside and don't neglect them."

Lao Xu had never seen such a scene before. He was already at a loss. He just turned around and asked, "Is this possible?"

"Fuzhen, get up quickly, don't kneel outside, hurry up." Deputy Director Li was relieved only after the old man helped Yuan Fuzhen up. As long as he helped Yuan Fuzhen up, everyone in the world would know that this was Xu Chaoyang's wife.

After helping Yuan Fuzhen up, Lao Xu turned around and asked, "Who is Commander Yan?"

He knew that Commander Yan knew about it but he didn't recognize him, and he didn't pay much attention to it in the newspapers. He was also afraid of being embarrassed if he recognized the wrong person, so he asked.

Deputy Director Li smiled, held the old man's hand and walked in front of Mr. Yan: "Chief Yan, this is Xu Chaoyang's father."

Old Xizi Yan would definitely say something in an official tone: "Having a son like this is a great honor to our family. General Xu killed more than 10,000 Japanese invaders in the battle at Tuanchengkou. He is a true hero. I hope all the men of Shanxi can be like General Xu and defend our country!"

Generally speaking, in this situation, you have to say a few compliments. Isn't it possible for business people to praise each other?

Old Xu, on the other hand, agreed as if he didn't understand: "Ah."

Gone!
Just like that, it passed!

At that time, Deputy Director Li opened his eyes wide, and Yu Qiulan had already thought of Commander Yan's unhappy expression, but they all underestimated Xu Chaoyang's current importance!

He is the commander of the ace main brigade of the 386th Group, a practical hero who can compare his combat record with the connections of the living father of the th Brigade. Not to mention that his father has only agreed to it now, as long as he is not a scoundrel and can look decent, no one will make things difficult for him.

However, Deputy Director Li stepped up to smooth things over: "Officer Yan, my relative is not very good at speaking, please don't mind."

"No, old man." After thinking for a long time, Old Xizi Yan finally came up with an adjective: "It's just simple, simple."

He has to rely on the 18th Group Army to fight the war. How could things possibly fall out at this time?

What's more, behind the surname Xu is the surname "Yuan".

"Come on, please come in, please come in, dear relatives, serve tea."

Deputy Director Li has started to take charge. Otherwise, if he just waits for Old Xu to react, how long will it take?
People were being led into the house, and outside, the wives of officials were already unable to stand. Even though they could play mahjong for an entire afternoon, no one could stand standing here.

"How long do we have to stand?"

"We can't wait for Officer Yan to come out, can we?"

Just as he finished speaking, a fast horse rushed in from outside the city and stood at the gate of the courtyard, shouting, "Report!"

"The 217th Brigade of the th Group Army has been ordered to arrive at Xinkou. Brigade Commander Xu Chaoyang is leading the guard battalion to Taiyuan and will arrive in an hour!"

Xu Chaoyang is here.
