Baiyue Cave Master

Once a solution to any problem is found, everyone feels relieved. Wang Yuanchao and several village cadres drank wine, chatted, and had a comfortable meal before returning home.

Just after returning home, although Wang Yuanchao was drunk, he still insisted on standing and practicing martial arts.

Lu Yuan was wearing a military uniform at this time and was watching Wang Yuanchao practicing martial arts.

After Wang Yuanchao finished practicing, he said:

"Yuan Chao, I'm sorry for causing you trouble during this period.

I will be going back tomorrow, so I'll leave my parents in your care."

Wang Yuanchao handed Lu Yuan a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, then said:

“Hey, let’s talk about troubles between brothers, isn’t this what I should do?

You can just go back without any worries. I am here for Uncle Lu and Auntie.

They are my biological parents, how can I not take good care of them?

What time does the bus leave tomorrow? I will ride my bike to pick you up then."

Lu Yuan was moved and hugged Wang Yuanchao, patted him on the back, and said:

"You can take me to the train tomorrow at noon. I feel relieved to have you here.

In times of crisis, true feelings are revealed; in times of adversity, true feelings are revealed.

Yuan Chao, you are my biological brother, and I leave my parents to you."

"Well, Brother Yuan, just don't worry.

I will take good care of them.”

"Okay, I have to go to the island after today. I don't know how long it will take for me to get my family leave.

I will come to see you again after I have some time off."

Wang Yuanchao hugged Lu Yuan, patted him, and said:

"It's okay, Brother Yuan, just focus on your career in the army.

I'm here, you can come whenever you have a day off.

By the way, you are leaving tomorrow, shall we have a drink together now, brothers? "

Lu Yuan looked at Wang Yuanchao, who was drunk, and said hesitantly:

"Hey, you reek of alcohol, can you still drink?"

"Hey, Brother Yuan, who are you looking down on?

My nickname is "A Thousand Cups Without Getting Drunk", and the little bit of wine I drank just now is just the beginning.

Come, mom, please cook some side dishes for us and bring a few bottles of Moutai.

I want to see Brother Yuan off today."

"Okay, Yuan Chao, how about making you pepper preserved eggs, peanuts, green peppers fried with bacon, braised fish, and two side dishes?"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom."

"It's not hard. You can take a rest on the lounge chair on the porch. I can cook quickly. It will be ready soon."

"Row."

After saying that, Wang Yuanchao pulled Lu Yuan to lie on the recliner, turned on the radio on the coffee table, listened to Northeastern Errenzhuan, drank tea and chatted.

"Brother Yuan, are you usually busy with tasks on the island you are stationed on?"

"It's OK. The island we are stationed on is mainly to prevent enemy agents from sneaking into our country and causing damage.

The tasks are not frequent.

It's just that some small countries in the south are not peaceful now.

There are disputes with us, and sometimes conflicts.

We often have to send out support, but otherwise it’s fine.”

"I don't understand military life and military conflicts as well as you do, Brother Yuan.

But health is the capital of revolution, I just hope you are safe and healthy,

There is no need to rush anything. As long as we work hard, time is the fairest.

You must take care to protect yourself, understand?"

Lu Yuan wiped his eyes and said uninhibitedly:

"Why are you being so sentimental, kid?

OK, I understand, I will take care of myself."

"Well, that's good. I was afraid that after you knew about Uncle Lu and Auntie's current situation, you would rush into something and put yourself in danger. And since we are so far away from you, we would be helpless and that would be troublesome."

Lu Guoguang and his son Lu Yuan are the pillars of the country after the reform and opening up.

It is my biggest background in the future, and it is the capital that I dare to make money with after the reform and opening up.

Brother Yuan can't go back and get himself into trouble by doing something without permission, otherwise Wang Yuanchao will be in trouble.

However, Lu Yuan did not have such complicated thoughts as Wang Yuanchao. He was being moved by Wang Yuanchao.

"Yuan Chao, don't worry, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. I still know this truth,

Besides, my parents are in good health now that you are taking care of them, so I am not as worried as before.

As for what happens next, as you said, let's take it slow. After all, the future of the Lu family is on my shoulders now. I won't act impulsively, so don't worry."

"Well, that's good, Brother Yuan, as long as you are in a normal state of mind, I will be relieved.

Brother Yuan, please tell me about the customs and practices of the South. "

"Okay, let me tell you..."

Wang Yuanchao and Lu Yuan were chatting happily for a while. Time passed by in a flash. Suddenly, Du Guafu's voice came out.

"Yuan Chao, come and move the table, the food will be ready soon."

Wang Yuanchao stood up and responded loudly:

"Mom, here I come."

After saying this, Wang Yuanchao walked to the kitchen, moved the Eight Immortals Table into the yard, and took out two benches and candles. After lighting the candles on the Eight Immortals Table,

Widow Du brought the wine and food to the table. Wang Yuanchao opened the bottle and filled Lu Yuan and himself with wine.

He raised his glass and said:

"Brother Yuan, come here. The ancients said: When God is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, he must first make his mind and will suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his actions frustrated. This is to stimulate his heart and harden his nature, and increase his ability to do what he could not do before.

This is a toast to you, Brother Yuan, you have worked hard, let's drink this cup together, brothers."

Lu Yuan picked up the wine glass and said with emotion:

"I'm not as miserable as you say, but I'm also stronger than you think.

Don't worry, kid. Come on, cheers."

"cheers."

“I have to say, Auntie Du’s cooking skills are amazing, every dish is so delicious.

I used to be tired of eating fish. I lost my appetite when I saw fish.

After coming to your house and eating the dishes made by Aunt Du, my favorite is the braised fish.

Mm, it’s delicious.”

"Haha, Brother Yuan, if it's delicious, eat more. When you have a day off, come to my house and let my mother-in-law make it specially for you."

“Well, this is something I look forward to in the future.”

"Come on, Brother Yuan, try this bacon. I smoked it myself according to the method of Xiangxi.

This smoky flavor is very local, see if you like it or not.”

"Mm, it's delicious, really delicious, especially the fatty meat, which has a rich aroma of wax and smoke.

The texture is firm and chewy, with a suitable salty fragrance and a unique aroma of oil.

It's really memorable."

"Haha, Brother Yuan, it's delicious. I'll bring some back tomorrow and let my sister-in-law taste it too."

"Okay, I won't be polite with you."

"Hey, brothers, why are you being polite? We don't have much else in the Northeast.

There are a lot of mountain products and game, and we raise pigs at home, so we have no shortage of meat.

I will send you mountain products in the fall, so you and your sister-in-law can enjoy the specialties of Northeast China while you are on the island."

"it is good."
