The uncles who heard the news rushed over and surrounded the house. His mother and aunts were busy in the kitchen. Long Hui patiently answered the elders 'questions while the chauffeur served tea and water for everyone.
" Chief, there are still some things in the car. I'll go get them," the driver, Xiao Li, asked after he had some free time.
"Thank you for your hard work." Long Hui nodded with a faint smile.
"He called you Chief? Xiaolong, quickly tell uncle what your current position is?”He had long felt that the uncle who followed Long Hui was the village branch secretary. After Xiao Li went out, he asked.
"No position." Long Hui really didn't know how to answer. Although he was currently a lieutenant general, he didn't have a single soldier under him, not to mention that he was being punished.
"No position?" His uncle obviously didn't believe him." Is it because you haven't arranged a job yet? What about your military rank?”Long Hui didn't have any anti-star on his shoulder, which was too eye-catching.
"Lieutenant General" Long Hui had no choice. It seemed that he would keep asking until he got an answer.
"What is it? "Say it again?" First Uncle asked in shock, thinking that he had heard wrongly. His father and the other uncles were also in disbelief.
"Lieutenant General!"
"Lieutenant General? Why were there no stars? Xiaolong, you can't lie. This is illegal.”Big Uncle still couldn't believe it and urged Long Hui to ask for the general star.
Long Hui saw that everyone was deeply afraid that they would worry, so he helplessly went back to the room and changed into a military uniform from the box. The sparkling general star attracted everyone's gaze, and everyone was dumbfounded.
" General, you've really become a general," his uncle muttered to himself.
" My son has become a general." The father couldn't help but cry again.
At this moment, Second Shen happened to see the sparkling Long Hui in the courtyard and quickly ran to the kitchen to tell her mother. Her mother and the other aunts squeezed into the house and stared at Long Hui. They smiled in satisfaction and tears hung in their eyes.
"Good, good, good. Our Long family has also produced a general.”First Uncle held his father's hand excitedly.
After eating lunch amidst the praises of the crowd, Long Hui had been thinking about whether he should tell them the truth. However, he didn't say it in the end when he saw their happy expressions so that they wouldn't worry.
In the afternoon, his cousin Long Jun, who was working in the county town, also came back. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years. They came to the old pagoda tree at the entrance of the alley and chatted. Because of physics, there was no place to sit. The elders were so happy that they were drunk and lying on the brick bed.
"Xiaolong, when are you leaving this time?”The Dragon Army asked after a short chat.
"It depends."
Long Jun looked deeply at Long Hui. He wanted to say something but found it hard to say.
"Brother, do you have something to say? "What's there to talk about between us?" Long Hui, the elder cousin, asked with a smile when he saw that the Dragon Army was like a tiger that had something to say.
"Um, I saw what happened to you on the news.”The Dragon Army turned around and looked at the green hills on the other side of the road.
Long Hui was startled, but he quickly understood that his cousin already knew. The elders rarely paid attention to the newspapers and did not have any newspapers to read, but his cousin always knew more about the outside world.
"Some praised you and some scolded you, but I know you're not that kind of person. You must have suffered some grievances.”Long Jun knew his younger brother too well. He had been following him since he was young. His temper would not change so easily. He was not the kind of person who would harm others.
"Mhm, let them say what they want. I only want to live up to my reputation.”Long Hui also stared at the green mountain in front of him. The mountain was not high, but it was so tall and straight. The green color of the mountain seemed to be full of vitality.
"Don't tell your dad about this, lest they worry."
Long Hui turned his head to look at the Dragon Army. He was grateful that he knew the truth. He had been away from home for so many years. Fortunately, his cousin took care of the family. He owed his family too much. It was time to return it.
"Brother, how's work?"
" What else can I do? Five or six hundred yuan a month. I just have to make ends meet." The Dragon Army used to work in the Material Bureau. After the Material Bureau was abolished, the Inspection Department was set up to investigate small merchants and peddlers who sold steel. They were in charge of everything as long as they did not have a license. However, the salary was pitifully low, which made his wife complain about him all day long. He was unhappy when he thought about it.
Long Hui comforted him and made a plan. He was often not at home and could not take care of his family. He could only ask his brother to find him a better job.
"Brother, don't worry about work. I'll arrange it."
Long Jun looked at the serious Long Hui. He didn't look like he was joking, but he was now a sentenced person.
Long Hui saw through his doubts and smiled,"Although I've been dismissed from my post, don't forget that I'm still a general." Long Hui pointed at the star on his shoulder.
" Okay." The Dragon Army laughed and felt relieved. He was happy to think that he had a younger brother who was a general. No matter what he was punished for, he was still a general. Since he had said that he could do such a small thing, he could finally raise his head in front of his wife and children.
