Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"What is this...?" Chen Yanshi was not one to look down on such a small thing.

But he has always valued his reputation his whole life. How could he possibly ruin it at this age, when he's almost in his grave?

Chen Yanshi was instantly displeased with the gifts he was carrying. If this person hadn't been sent by Li Weijun, Chen Yanshi might have already started to show his displeasure.

"Oh ho, so you've learned how to give gifts, Xiao Hao?" Li Weijun laughed at himself.

However, this was mostly a joke. Chen Yanshi himself didn't know Chang Junhao's background, but he knew it very well.

Moreover, let alone his background, even with Chang Junhao's current position, what could he possibly offer Chen Yanshi as a bribe or gift?

Chang Junhao is now at the vice-ministerial level, while Chen Yanshi was only a director-general level official when he retired.

Even if Chen Yanshi hadn't retired, he would still have to address Chang Junhao as "leader" upon seeing him.

If he were to reveal his true colors, Chen Yanshi might have to offer him a salute.

Therefore, they wouldn't believe that Chang Junhao really came to give a gift.

"Haha, I can't come to visit an old senior empty-handed, can I?" Chang Junhao laughed.

"Oh, I don't need anything here, take it back later!" Chen Yanshi quickly waved his hand.

"You don't think I'm here to offer a bribe, do you, senior?" Chang Junhao chuckled to himself.

"This is some milk and fruit I bought at the supermarket next door. The total cost didn't exceed two hundred yuan!"

"This can't be called bribery, can it?" Chang Junhao said with a smile.

"Uh..." Chen Yanshi himself was a little embarrassed.

"The fruit is good, and the milk is good too. I like to eat fruit and drink milk. Come in!" Chen Yanshi finally smiled.

"I knew it! Wei Jun's friends shouldn't have sent me gifts!"

"Shouldn't the guards be the ones giving gifts?"

As they spoke, the group burst into laughter again, and Chen Yanshi did not express any objection to these things.

These are all exchanges between friends. If you can't even accept this, then you might as well not be human and just turn into a stone.

Putting aside everything else, he buys it himself every month, so what's the big deal?

Li Weijun, without any hesitation, simply pulled a banana from the fruit bag.

Chang Junhao didn't buy any hard fruits like apples, but only some softer ones like bananas and grapes.

The elderly can also eat some.

"You're quite impolite!" Chang Junhao chuckled upon seeing this.

"Don't stand on ceremony when you come here. Being too polite will only make you feel uncomfortable!"

“Wei Jun is treated like family here!” Chen Yanshi looked at Chang Junhao, treating him as a junior.

“Wei Jun, you haven’t introduced yourself yet!” Chen Yanshi asked directly.

"Oh dear, it's my fault!" Li Weijun chuckled.

"This is Chang Junhao, who also works in our Handong Province! He's in the system!"

"Chang Junhao? That name sounds familiar?" Chen Yanshi frowned immediately, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

"And what about the guards?" the old woman beside her asked.

"You mentioned 'us' before? What? You've come to Handong Province too?"

“Yes!” Li Weijun smiled.

"What? Really?" This time, Chen Yanshi stopped dwelling on what had happened before and stared at Li Weijun.

"Okay, okay, then you'll have to come to this old man's place often from now on!"

"Of course!" Li Weijun replied with a smile.

"By the way, how is the old company commander doing? We haven't heard from him in a long time!"

“That’s great. I just chatted with Wang Xianjun before, and Old Master Wang’s health is still pretty good!” Li Weijun said with a smile.

When Li Weijun came to introduce himself, he only introduced himself as Wang Xianjun, a friend of Wang Yousheng's son.

Wang Xianjun is now his comrade-in-arms, and he's already a major general. As for Li Weijun's own situation...

Chen Yanshi knew a little about him and knew that he was the old company commander, Wang Yousheng's old superior, but he wasn't sure what kind of superior he was.

But back then, the leaders were all comrades-in-arms, and their relationship was very close.

"By the way..." Chen Yanshi said, looking over at Chang Junhao.

"Old Chen, you can just call me Xiao Hao!" Chang Junhao introduced.

“Okay, Xiao Hao, you and Wei Jun are friends, and also ours…” Chen Yanshi asked with some curiosity.

"This...I..." Chang Junhao couldn't think of any words to say for a moment.

What could he say? Could he just say that his family was in a similar situation, and that when you were in the army, my grandfather was already a commander of a military district?

Later, he became a column commander, a corps commander, and participated in the northward campaign. Finally, as deputy commander, he temporarily led an army of over a million men.

Behind them were even more military personnel...

Wouldn't that scare people?

But what she said...

Li Weijun, standing to the side, was at a loss for words and had not come up with an excuse.

Fortunately, Chang Junhao managed to fool him.

"Yes, they also came from that era, my grandfather and his family, but they separated from Wei Jun's grandfather back then!"

"We were comrades-in-arms in our early years, but things changed later, so I parted ways with Old Chen!"

"I see!" Chen Yanshi nodded as well.

"Back then, it really was like that. When the fighting started, we were running all over the country. As soon as the military order came down, we had to set off immediately!"

"It's all for..."

Old Chen also began to reminisce about that period of his life.

Chang Junhao and the others were listening, but soon after, the sound of a car door opening could be heard outside.

"Hmm? It's really lively today, more guests have arrived?" Chen Yanshi stood up and walked outside.

"What day is it today?!"

"Yu Liang?" Chen Yanshi laughed when he saw the person coming down.

His relationship with Gao Yuliang was quite good, and even when Chen Yanshi was on his deathbed, he was still trying to persuade Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang also frequently visited this senior, and Chen Yanshi always admired Gao Yuliang's qualities.

"Old Chen, I've come to see you!"

"Welcome, welcome!" Chen Yanshi went out and brought Gao Yuliang in.

"Today is a good day, this old man's place is bustling with activity!"

"Oh no, everyone's here!"

"Old Chen, do you have guests here?" Gao Yuliang realized what was going on and smiled.

"Yes, they are some of my old comrades' descendants. They came to sit with us!" Chen Yanshi said with a smile.

"And he works in our Handong Province!"

"Come, come, let me introduce you!" Chen Yanshi said with a smile.

"Wei Jun, Xiao Hao, come on, I'll give you..."

However, before Chen Yanshi could finish speaking, Chang Junhao and Gao Yuliang both burst out laughing.

"Secretary Gao!"

"Oh? You two know each other?" Chen Yanshi said, then slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot, Yu Liang is the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of our Handong Province. Xiao Hao, you work in the system, so you must know him!"

“Yu Liang, this is…” Chen Yanshi wanted to continue the introduction.

However, Gao Yuliang spoke up with a smile.

"Old Chen, I'm quite familiar with this person!"

"Huh? Not unfamiliar?" Chen Yanshi himself was taken aback, while Gao Yuliang stepped forward directly.

"Secretary Junhao, I knew it! Our meeting is truly a wonderful coincidence!"

"I didn't expect to run into Old Chen before we even set a date!"

"Secretary Gao, I didn't expect this myself!" Chang Junhao smiled as well...
