Huaqu, a large and antique mansion.
In late autumn, the leaves around the yard had all fallen off, leaving only bare trees. But the house still exuded an indescribable solemnity, with high walls and sentries patrolling outside the gate.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, several military vehicles stopped in front of the vermilion gate of the mansion. A very sturdy young man with a short flat head stepped out of the vehicle.
The young man was about 27 or 28 years old. He was wearing a loose sportswear and carrying a simple luggage bag on his back. He walked towards the compound in a dusty manner.
“Bang!”
The guards standing outside the door saluted when they saw the young man.
“Squeak—”
At the same time, the gate was opened, and a middle-aged man with gentle and elegant manners walked out of the courtyard and personally greeted the young man with a flat head.
The young man with the flat head saw him and greeted him politely: "Uncle Feng!"
Uncle Feng smiled and said to him, "Are you back? It must have been a hard journey, right?"
This middle-aged man is the person in charge here. He has been working here for more than ten years. He is in charge of all the internal affairs, big and small, in the courtyard.
The young man with the flat head waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I came back on our army's special plane. I slept all the way, so I didn't feel tired."
"Young man, you are in good health." Uncle Feng pointed to the yard and said, "But you should find a room to rest for a while. The old man is in a conference call now, so he will probably be busy for a while. But the kitchen has prepared a meal, and the old man specifically asked you to stay and eat with him."
"That's great. I'll take a shower first." The young man with the flat head tugged at his clothes and said, "I got the call and rushed back right away. I was so tired all the way here that I smell all over."
"Okay, I'll take you to your room to rest." Uncle Feng nodded and led the young man with a flat head into the courtyard.
…
Nearly an hour later, Qin Yu was sitting in his study, having just finished a conference call. He was wearing a cloth shirt and cloth shoes, and had a casual demeanor. Apart from his rather sturdy build, he looked no different from an ordinary old man.
Uncle Feng came forward, holding the purple clay teapot skillfully, and helped Qin Yu pour a cup of new tea. At the same time, he took the initiative to say: "Commander, Xiaoyuan has arrived and is waiting in the room."
Although Qin Yu has retired to the second line, Uncle Feng still calls him by his original position.
Qin Yu heard this and immediately said, "Haha, quickly call this kid in."
"Yes." Manager Feng gently put down the purple clay teapot, turned around and left the study.
Qin Yu slowly stood up, stretched his muscles, and then walked to the center of the study. There was a large map on the ground, which was a military map of the Laomo area based on Longcheng, and the data was recorded in great detail.
Qin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, barefoot on the map, looking down at the map, as if thinking about something.
A few minutes later, Manager Feng came in with Xiaoyuan, who had changed into clean clothes.
Seeing Qin Yu looking down at the map, Xiao Yuan, a flat-headed man, stepped forward and immediately shouted, "Godfather!"
"Are you back?"
Qin Yu looked up at him, waved his hand and said, "Come on, take off your shoes and come up."
Qin Yu was wearing a pair of reading glasses at this time. Although he was still very strong, at this age, he still looked a little old.
Xiaoyuan nodded, took off his shoes quickly, and walked barefoot onto the map.
Qin Yu sat on the ground, crossed his legs, and asked with a concerned smile: "Is the journey easy?"
"It's easy to go. I came back on our special transport plane." Xiao Yuan sat opposite Qin Yu and asked casually, "Godfather, what are you researching?"
Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Study heart disease."
As he spoke, Qin Yu slowly stretched out his hand and gently pointed to the location of Longcheng beside him: "This place has been making me a little irritated lately."
When Xiao Yuan heard this topic, he immediately agreed with shining eyes: "Yes, District 1 has mobilized warships and has already set sail. I guess the situation will soon become more serious..."
"yes."
Qin Yu wore reading glasses, stared at Longcheng, and said with a double meaning: "The people in this place are difficult. Charging the enemy in your own trench and firing in the enemy's lair are two completely different situations."
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, pointed at Longcheng and said, "I think, from a military perspective, the problem here lies mainly in the local garrison..."
The father and son sat at the map and talked in low voices.
…
Time passed quickly, and around one o'clock in the afternoon, several military vehicles stopped outside the gate of the mansion.
Jiangzhou took Su Tianyu and rushed to Yanbei under the stars. They were picked up by a special person and arrived at the Qin Mansion.
At this time, Su Tianyu was still too weak and could only travel in a wheelchair. In fact, the doctor did not recommend him to do so, but there was no other way. The situation in Longcheng was too serious and time was running out.
So, after Su Tianyu had his injection and examination last night, he followed Jiangzhou all the way here without stopping.
A group of people pushed the wheelchair, passed through layers of courtyard doors, and came to the living room.
After receiving the news of their arrival, Qin Yu and Xiao Yuan had already moved to the living room to wait. There was no one else in the huge hall, only the two of them and the steward Feng.
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Zhou immediately shouted to Qin Yu: "Dad!"
Su Tianyu, who was in a wheelchair, felt a pang of emotion when he heard the word "Dad". He felt that he had not called him "big brother" for so many years in vain! !
Although Su Tianyu had roughly guessed Jiang Zhou's identity through various channels before rushing to the Chinese district, he still couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body after hearing the word "Dad".
How can I describe that feeling? Just two words... solidity!
With big brother around, I feel at ease!
Jiangzhou turned his head and saw the young man with a flat head next to his father. His eyes lit up: "Brother Yuan is here too."
Xiao Yuan stood up and nodded at them: "Brother, you are back too!"
The Qin family has three children, two boys and one girl. In addition, there are two brothers and sisters from other families! A total of five people!
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries, and Jiangzhou pointed at the disabled person in the wheelchair and introduced him formally: "Dad, Brother Yuan, this is Su Tianyu from Longcheng."
Qin Yu's eyes fell on Su Tianyu, he walked over, and took the initiative to extend his broad palm: "Xiao Su, I have heard of you a long time ago. It must have been an difficult journey for you..."
As he spoke, he looked Su Tianyu up and down, and couldn't help but praise him: "Young people are really formidable!"
Su Tianyu felt weak and tried to get up with the help of his assistant who was supporting his wheelchair.
"Sit down!" Qin Yu pressed his palm slightly: "There are no outsiders here, so be more casual."
Hearing this, Su Tianyu still insisted on standing up, saluted Qin Yu very formally, and said in a sonorous voice: "Su Tianyu, deputy commander-in-chief of the Longcheng Renmin Army, reports to you!"
"Hello."
When Qin Yu heard this, he shook hands with Su Tianyu very solemnly and said, "Sit down."
This almost used up all of Su Tianyu's strength, and he sat in the wheelchair weakly.
At this moment, Steward Feng, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and asked softly, "Will you serve the food, Commander?"
Qin Yu said happily: "Come on, have a drink!"
