Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

Li Polu carried a string of firecrackers and walked side by side with Chen Xi on the street, feeling the unique atmosphere of fireworks that belonged to this era.

Chen Xi stood beside him, looking at his gentle smile, everything was so harmonious.

However, this harmony only lasted until Li Bolu saw a large pile of cow dung.

Chen Family

Li Polu rushed into the house like a gust of wind, and quickly found his supporter: his mother-in-law.

Hiding behind Zhang Xiao, he made crazy faces at Chen Xi who rushed into the room in a rage.

"You're already so grown up, why are you still fighting and making trouble? Xiaoxi, look at what you think."

Zhang Xiao said helplessly.

"No, Mom. It's my brother. He, he fry cow dung."

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then he said, "Is that so? It's great that Po Lu still has a childlike innocence."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Chen Xi instantly became EMO. What's the matter? Am I no longer my mother's favorite little cutie?

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Today is the day to visit each other's homes and wish each other a happy new year.

Li Polu originally planned to take Chen Xi to visit his father's old comrade-in-arms.

But at this time, a person who went to Chen Qiujia to pay New Year's greetings made Li Bolu stop.

The man was wearing the uniform of a major general. He looked righteous, but at the same time he had an unconcealable bandit spirit.

Li Polu, who was about to go out, heard Chen Qiu's address to this person and immediately became interested. He didn't expect to meet the original person here.

Wang Yukang, deputy director of the Sijiucheng Security Department.

Talking about the fate with President Wang of Harbin Institute of Technology.

But I didn't expect that I also knew his father-in-law.

"Old leader, I, Wang, see you coming."

When passing by the door, Wang Yukang and Li Polu smiled and nodded, then started shouting loudly.

Seeing this, Li Polu turned back with interest.

"Old leader, you miss me so much."

Chen Qiu chatted with Wang Yukang for a while before he realized that Li Polu was also sitting next to them, eating a handful of melon seeds with relish.

I couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Aren't you going to visit those old guys? Why are you still sitting here?"

"I saw that there were guests at home and I was ready to help."

"Old leader, who is this young comrade?" Wang Yukang asked curiously upon seeing this.

In recent years, he has come to his old leader's house to pay New Year's greetings every year, but in the past two years, he has never seen any young men in his house.

And it's so casual.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce him to you. Li Polu, my son-in-law. Polu, let me introduce him to you.

Wang Yukang, deputy director of the Sijiucheng Security Department. You two have some history. He was once a soldier of your old principal.

At this point, Wang Yukang's eyes dimmed, as if he remembered Principal Wang who passed away last year. He even ignored the word "son-in-law" that Chen Qiu introduced.

"Hello, General Wang, I am Li Polu."

Seeing both of them with such expressions, Li Polu probably guessed the reason and spoke hurriedly.

"Ah, Comrade Xiao Li, hello, hello." Wang Yukang responded with a few words before he realized what was going on. He turned his head and looked at Chen Qiu.

"Old leader, when did your Chen Xi get married? Isn't she still studying? Leader, you are so unkind. You didn't even ask me, Old Wang, to join in the fun of such a big event."

Chen Qiu was a little embarrassed by Wang Yukang's question and glared at Li Polu unhappily.

Then he said calmly, "It was about the incident two months ago. Actually, the two kids got the marriage certificate first. As for the drinking issue, they plan to wait until Xiaoxi gets a job before discussing it."

Li Polu saw Chen Qiu glaring at him, and he also shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak. After all, he was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

Wang Yukang did not dwell on this issue. After all, his kid was only a few years old. He had no reason to worry about it. If anyone was worried, it would be the old comrades whose children were of the right age and were eyeing the daughters of their old leaders.

But I heard that the leader’s daughter has always been protected by someone. Will anyone who dares to get close to her be beaten up and cry for help?

Could it be this young man?

"Old leader, your son-in-law is really handsome, no less handsome than me, Old Wang, in the past." Seeing Li Polu looking at him strangely, Wang Yukang smiled and said, "Comrade Li, I'm telling you, don't disbelieve me, even if you look at me like this now. But, back then, I, Old Wang, was also a famous handsome young man in the surrounding area."

In this regard, Chen Qiu could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He had heard this sentence many times since Wang Yukang became his subordinate, but he had never seen Wang Yukang look handsome.

After this interruption, the sad mood was diluted a lot.

Wang Yukang and Chen Qiutian were chatting about all sorts of things, and they ended up talking about the singing competition held by the Sijiu City Security Department this year.

Speaking of this, Chen Qiu was no longer sleepy.

Although he always showed his dislike for Li Bolu, this was only in front of Zhang Xiao and Chen Xi.

In front of other people, he wanted everyone to know how good his son-in-law was. After all, his son-in-law's excellence represented his excellent vision!

Then he said proudly: A few days ago, the steel mill sang a new song called "The Motherland Will Not Forget". Have you heard it?"

"Yes, I've heard it. It's really well written. The political commissar is planning to have our soldiers learn it carefully. This song is really suitable for our troops."

"Haha, not bad. Written by Po Lu."

At this moment, Chen Qiu was as happy as a 60-year-old child. At his age, what could be more joyful than hearing others praise his children!

Chen Qiu's words made Wang Yukang involuntarily look at Li Polu.

He really didn't expect Li Polu to be so talented. He originally thought that Li Polu relied on his looks to hook up with the daughter of his old leader.

After all, Li Polu is as handsome as his father Wang.

But I didn't expect that this kid had something in his stomach.

"Well, speaking of this, I suddenly got some inspiration. How about I sing a few lines for you two?"

"Oh, your inspiration comes pretty quickly."

Chen Qiu said this with some hint of meaning. After all, he was used to seeing the strange things Li Polu took out, so it was nothing strange for him to take out a song at this time.

"If the motherland is invaded, the passionate men should strengthen themselves.

After drinking this bowl of wine from his hometown, the hero will never come back.

.........

*Flags flutter, bugles sound. Swords are unsheathed, thunder roars, lightning flashes.

It has always been the case that the bravest one wins when two meet in a narrow road.

Move forward, move forward, move forward, move forward.

Dragon*Soul of the Army."

After listening to Li Polu's powerful baritone, Chen Qiu and Wang Yukang burst into tears without knowing when.

It seemed that they had returned to the war-torn era through Li Polu's singing.

Back to the days when I fought side by side with my friends.

Back to the glorious old days.

"Comrade Xiao Li, what's the name of your song?"

"Military soul, dragon*military soul."
