Chapter 43 Civil Servants

Sure enough, the old commander naturally picked up the wine bottle, poured two cups of it, put one cup in front of him, and pushed it to Fu Ping'an, and asked naturally: "Little kid, how do you think you should eat this duck neck?"

Fu Ping'an thought about it and wasn't thinking about how to eat duck necks. Of course, he knew that the duck necks in the old commander refer to American soldiers. The answer was not necessary to think about. He was thinking about why the old commander wanted to compete with him for wine. This old-fashioned glass has a large capacity, with a cup of one or two or five. If you take a sip, you will definitely be at the top.

If Aunt Tian allowed the old commander to drink, the family would definitely have wine, and it would not be very bad wine. At least the level of Maotai Wuliangye, the orderly soldiers would not be allowed to buy Erguotou. Moreover, when the old commander saw Erguotou, his eyes were lit, and he felt like a trick was successful. The hunter hit the fox. This was very wrong. This was not a fight for wine, but a cheating wine.

"There are two ways to eat this duck neck. If you are impatient, you can chew it and eat it. You can swallow the meat and bone residue. If you have the patience and time, you are not afraid of spicy food. You can pick out every strand of meat carefully, and even lick the spicy taste on the bones cleanly, leaving no leave for the enemy at all." Fu Ping'an slowly said his answer, and the old commander gave a thumbs up: "Little devil, tall!"

"When we fought the Americans, we swallowed the bones and flesh and our own blood. It was tragic. At that time, I was the deputy battalion commander, and with a reinforcement, I fought and blocked the attack. The Americans opened the way and the planes bombed the heavy artillery. Our soldiers were not shot to death by guns, they were not injured, and they were bleeding from seven orifices. They were shocked to death by heavy artillery. Later, when I fought in Vietnam, I was already a division commander. The feng shui changed. The Japanese fired a shell on our side and returned it ten times immediately. Cannons, cannons, the real god of war."

After sighing, the old commander reached out to get the glass, but the cup was quickly snatched away by Fu Ping'an.

"Chief, does Aunt Tian agree to you to drink?" Fu Ping'an asked. When he saw the old commander's face change, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"You are my orderly, not her civil servant. The soldiers are obeying orders as their duty. I now order you as the former commander of the Dongshan Governor's District and give me the cup!" The old commander raised his tone.

Fu Ping'an was more convinced of his judgment. For many patients, doctors would recommend quitting smoking and drinking. The old commander was already in his seventies, and excessive tobacco and alcohol would affect his health. Aunt Tian must strictly prohibit the existence of tobacco and alcohol. In this general's mansion, it was not the old commander, but Aunt Tian. He came on the first day and did not want to be driven away because of drinking. Although he was not willing to be a civil servant, he was even more unwilling to be driven away.

However, thinking that my father often drinks wine secretly, Fu Ping'an was a little soft-hearted. Why would he give the old commander a sip while Aunt Tian is away?

But it was too late. As the sound of turning the door handle, Aunt Tian came in. She glanced at Erguotou on the table and changed color: "Who bought the wine!"

Fu Ping'an replied: "Report, I bought it."

Aunt Tian said angrily: "The old commander can't drink alcohol. You have bought him so much wine!"

The old commander said: "Oda, I asked him to buy it. This little devil is very clever. He actually found it and didn't let me drink a drop."

Aunt Tian then noticed the details. Both glasses of wine were controlled by Fu Ping'an. This soldier, who was a newcomer, realized that the old man should not drink alcohol, and even refused to give the leader wine, which shows that this soldier is very careful and bold, and is the person he needs.

"Pop the wine back into the bottle and deal with it. No wine except Hongmao Medicinal Wine is allowed at home." Aunt Tian became serious and said, "The old commander has been in his life, and he has all kinds of injuries and illnesses. Drinking and smoking will hurt him. Xiao Fu, you did a good job."

Fu Ping'an's first crisis as a civil servant was resolved invisibly. He watched the old commander finish his meal, washed the lunch box, and waited for the old commander to take a nap before he went to the service club to buy two packs of instant noodles, went back to the guard company dormitory and soaked it in hot water for lunch. He heard the squad leader Cheng Guo talk about the matter about the old commander's house.

The old commander's name is Xiong Taihang, a native of Hebei. He was born in 1930. He fought against the United States and aid Korea, resisted the United States and aided Vietnam, and was awarded the title of Major General in 1987. At that time, Dongshan Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's

Now Aunt Tian is over 20 years younger than Commander Xiong. She was a health nurse at first. After Commander Xiong became a widow, she became a wife. She was naturally fond of her. Everything in the general's mansion is Aunt Tian, ​​and she is also the number one figure in the courtyard. Even the current commander has to respectfully call her Aunt Tian.

"Aunt Tian is a sarcastic and stingy person, but it is actually easy to get along with." Cheng Guocai spoke without any leaks. Fu Ping'an did not get any valuable information from him, but he didn't think anything. It would be terrible if Captain Cheng came up and said other people's gossip.

In the afternoon, Fu Ping'an continued to work at the No. 1 courtyard. Aunt Tian and the nanny took him to get familiar with the environment and learned about the work they needed to do. They said it was the General's Mansion, but they felt like a farm stay. There was a pond and vegetable field in the backyard, and a small film greenhouse was also built. There was a wolf dog, a group of chickens and ducks at home, and it was almost like feeding pigs. In addition to taking care of the old commander, the civil servants' work was to serve these animals and vegetables, walk the dogs and feed the chickens and water the vegetable field, and take out to clean and wash clothes.

"The old commander likes to eat big pot dishes in the kitchen, but you can't eat too much. It's up to twice a week. The most important thing every day is to take medicine. Here is a list, you can follow it and measure it on time and at the right time. It must be accurate." Aunt Tian handed a list to Fu Ping'an, and there were a long list of supplements that Commander Xiong needed to take. What Cordyceps sinensis and American ginseng, deep-sea fish oil and platinum, and I was dizzy when I saw it.

"There are also benefits of sending the old commander to check the body every month. If you are sick or not, you have to stay in the hospital for a few days. If the doctor is sick, you can get a good examination, get a drip, stimulating blood vessels, etc.," Aunt Tian explained, "The most important thing is not to smoke or drink. You can drink Hongmao medicinal wine once a week, and you can't exceed one or two taels each time. This wine is still OK."

Fu Ping'an nodded like pounding garlic. He took a small notebook with him and wrote down all of them.

Two days later, Fu Ping'an basically figured out the tricks of the general's mansion. Commander Xiong was 28 years older than Aunt Tian. Commander Xiong and his original wife had a child working in another place. Aunt Tian and his ex-husband also had a child. They were also in another place. The nanny at home was Aunt Tian's cousin from Aunt Tian's hometown. Aunt Tian had a lot of things outside and usually gave it to nanny and civil servants. The civil servants did not do well, and the nanny in charge of supervising would make small reports. Commander Xiong likes to work with Aunt Tian, ​​like a naughty boy. This is also the reason why many civil servants can't do it for a long time.

The retreat is an independent organization and has its own personnel, but Fu Ping'an is different from them. He is still a soldier in the police connection. This is because Commander Xiong is a retired cadre in the military and can be assigned exclusive service personnel according to regulations. In addition to him, there is also a driver and a car, but he is not always on standby.

The work of civil servants is boring, especially as civil servants for retired cadres, which is even more boring. Every morning, Fu Ping'an still fucks with the comrades in the police connection company. After that, he comes to the restroom and walks the wolf dog named Dahu first. This is Commander Bear's beloved dog, purebred German black back. His son is filial and weighs 80 kilograms. When he runs, he can't hold on. After walking the dog, he waters vegetables and feeds chickens and ducks. After that, he helps Commander Bear with a gun. This is the only interesting thing.

Although Commander Xiong has retired, he is still a military member. He has collected three Japanese knives and three good guns, and all are well maintained. The original Japanese knives are still there, and the blade is extremely sharp. He often wipes them with cotton yarn dipped in transformer oil. The three guns have their own characteristics, a twenty-shot shell gun, a Browning palm thunder pistol, and a double-tube tiger-head hunting rifle. The work of wiping the knives and guns is left to Fu Ping'an. When doing these tasks, you must also listen to the old commander's talk about the ancients.

When a person gets old, his memory is not good. Commander Xiong's stories often differ. The day before, he said that a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed in a battle, dozens of puppet troops, and the next day, they would become dozens of Japanese soldiers and hundreds of puppet troops. Fu Ping'an was not serious about this. He understood that numbers were not important, and those stories of bloody battles were all true and credible.

Commander Xiong often lamented that the death rate during the War of Resistance Against Japan was extremely high, especially the cadres, who changed in a few months. When asked where the people in front of them, they were basically sacrificed.

"Once, the captain of the county brigade asked the Japanese to catch the head and kill them. Our armed forces team found out who betrayed him, tied him up overnight and asked me to execute him. That was my first time killing someone." Commander Xiong recalled the past, his eyes narrowed, as if he had returned to the glorious years.

Fu Ping'an was shocked. During the Anti-Japanese War, Commander Xiong was just a teenager, so why did he become an executioner?

"The captain is my uncle." Commander Xiong said, "My family died in the hands of the Japanese and traitors. It was a national war with the Japanese. The traitors were different. They caught the Japanese and sent them back. They were killed on the spot when they caught the traitors. Another time, our Eighth Route Army caught three spies who were disguised and investigated. Before the Japanese brigade was tried, they came up. They shot them and violated discipline and were unwilling to let them go. The Chief of Staff asked me to deal with it. I untied the rope for them and asked them to run away. Whether they could survive depends on their fortunes. These four guys were quite clever. They ran serpentines for me. I asked them to run out thirty meters first, raised the box gun, shot one by one, and killed all five spies."

Fu Ping'an said: "Chief, how many people have you killed in total?"

Commander Xiong said: "The soldiers who commanded the soldiers to eliminate them are not counted. They have executed twelve ones and killed four Japanese devils with bayonets. The Kuomintang soldiers who were killed can't be counted. Fifty ones go up. The most regrettable thing is that there are too few American Japanese devils who have been eliminated, only two or three."

Fu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, "The tiger general is the tiger general, and killing people is like a mahjong without any psychological burden. This is related to a person's psychological quality and has a great relationship with the historical background of that year. Under the hatred of the country, it is reasonable to do anything cruel to the enemy, because it is revenge, and defending the country. On the contrary, soldiers from some capitalist countries are extremely pretentious, and killing people on the battlefield will have psychological shadows for the rest of their lives.

"Chief, your life is really exciting. It's no worse than "Bright Sword" when filming a TV series." Fu Ping'an didn't deliberately flatter, he sincerely admired the old commander.

Xiong Taihang said: "It's a pity that the director who doesn't know the goods asked me to shoot it."

Fu Ping'an said: "Because we don't have novels, how great it would be to write a memoir, find a writer to process it into a novel, then adapt it into a script, and then find a director to make it into a TV series. You can watch TV series as your prototype in the whole place."

Xiong Taihang said: "What writer do you want? There are no soldiers, and you have pens and guns. You guys, don't you graduate from high school? I think you can do it."

Fu Ping'an was just right and said, "I don't have a computer. Now I have to go online when checking information or anything else."

Commander Xiong waved his hand: "I'll have a vacation for you, go find a computer to check the information online and see how the director contacts you."

Fu Ping'an was overjoyed. He had not been online for three months and was so overwhelmed that he finally became famous.

As soon as he came out of the restroom, he met the goddess Luo Jin in his dream. There were two more lieutenant stars on his shoulder. She had already been awarded the title and was now a serious army lieutenant. Fu Ping'an stood attentively to salute. Luo Jin replied with a casual military salute and went without looking sideways.
