After recovering from his injuries and returning to the army, the old general sent Xu Shitou to the field troops in order not to delay his future.
Xu Shitou did not let down the old general's expectations. He started as a platoon leader and quickly became the regiment commander of the main force with his military achievements.
A young man in his twenties became the commander of the main force. It was really amazing. There were not many of them in the entire army.
According to this development, he would at least be a general after the founding of the country.
However, something dramatic happened.
That year, Xu Shitou met a female student named Zhang Manli, who was Xu Jianguo's biological mother.
Zhang Manli was an innocent girl. She naturally loved heroes, so she started to pursue Xu Shitou.
As the old saying goes, women pursue men.
It didn't take long for the two of them to establish a relationship and get married.
The old general even personally presided over the wedding of his beloved subordinate.
Not long after the marriage, Xu Jianguo was born. The name Jianguo was given by the old chief, meaning to build up the motherland in the future.
If things continued to develop like this, Stone Xu would definitely be an amazing figure after the founding of the country.
Xu Jianguo and his three sisters should not be living in the courtyard house, but in the military compound.
That year, Xu Shitou was leading his troops to fight in the northeast.
Zhang Manli also brought the two-year-old Xu Jianguo with her.
One day, Zhang Manli's brother, Zhang Haoyu, came to visit her.
Xu Shitou naturally treated his brother-in-law with good wine and meat.
The Zhang family was a wealthy family. Zhang Haoyu had gone abroad since he was young and had just returned this year.
He said that he admired our army and wanted to find a job under Xu Shitou.
Xu Shitou didn't think too much about it and placed him under his command as a battle advisor.
However, what Xu Shitou and Zhang Manli didn't expect was that Zhang Haoyu's real identity was a military spy.
Not long after, an important piece of information about our army was stolen by Zhang Haoyu, and he himself disappeared.
At this point, Xu Shitou had nothing to say. He was waiting to be shot.
At the critical moment, the old general spoke up, and Xu Shitou barely managed to save his life.
A death sentence could be avoided, but a living crime could not. Xu Shitou, a good main force leader, was pushed to the bottom and became a big soldier.
Hesitation had once made a serious mistake. Even if he had fought bravely and made countless contributions, he could not be promoted in the end. Even if he died in a foreign battlefield, he would only be a company commander.
This was the main reason why Xu Jianguo's mother, Zhang Manli, died of depression.
Zhang Manli felt sorry for her husband. If it wasn't for her brother stealing the information, her husband would have become a general long ago.
Just imagine, how could a general personally charge into battle and die in a foreign country?
After listening to the old general's story, Xu Jianguo was filled with emotions.
He had always thought that his parents were just ordinary people. He did not expect such a melodramatic story.
Looking at Xu Jianguo and his siblings, the old general sighed.
"A few years ago, when I came back from the north, I went straight to the northwest.”
"I've been in charge of secret work in the northwest for all these years. I've forgotten about you and your sister.”
The Northwest was in charge of secret work?
Xu Jianguo immediately guessed what the old chief did for a living.
The old general looked ashamed and continued,
"I'm going back to the Northwest tomorrow. I can't take care of you and your sister.”
"How about this? I'll entrust someone to take care of you and your sister.”
Xu Jianguo waved his hand." No need, no need. I'm already an adult. I can take care of my three sisters."”
The old general smiled and said," It's been hard on you all these years. As your grandfather, I can't do nothing. Just listen to me. The people will be here soon. We'll eat while we wait."”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
The old general said in a deep voice.
The door opened and a man in his forties wearing a Chinese tunic suit walked in.
The man looked very dignified. It was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time.
Seeing the old general, the man took a few steps forward, puffed out his chest, raised his head, and saluted with his right hand.
"Reporting to the chief, Yang Bingkuan, the deputy commander of the 374th Regiment, is here to report.”
"Bing Kuan, you're already a high-ranking leader. You've been a professional since a long time ago. You don't have to do that." The old general smiled.”
Yang Bingkuan's expression was serious." I, Yang Bingkuan, was born a soldier of the 374th Regiment, and I'll be a ghost of the 374th Regiment even if I die. I'll never forget the 374th Regiment in my life, and I'll never forget the teachings of the old chief.”
The old general nodded in satisfaction and pointed to the seat in front of him."Bing Kuan, sit down first. I'll introduce you to someone. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him for me.”
"What's there to be troubled about? It's my honor to be able to help the old chief." Yang Bingkuan smiled.”
The old general pointed at Xu Jianguo and said,"His name is Xu Jianguo, the son of Stone Xu."”
"What is it? Stone's son?"
Yang Bingkuan stood up and stared at Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo also smiled and looked at Yang Bingkuan. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt.
In an instant, Xu Jianguo knew who Yang Bingkuan was.
Wasn't this the big leader of the department that directly led the rolling mill?!
The leader who had a good relationship with Silly Zhu!
Oh my god, the big leader actually became my backer.
