After receiving the call from her uncle, she immediately said without waiting for the other party to speak, "Uncle, we are going to Eagle Country this time. The plane will fly directly there and will not go around in that direction. Nothing will happen."
Xu Lei paused for two seconds, "Okay, I just want to remind you to be careful when you go out.
By the way, Zichu mentioned the security team last time, and I have some ideas on how to set one up. I asked him to come to my place tomorrow."
It was rare for the uncle to let her go so readily. Xu Manman couldn't suppress her happiness in her tone, "Okay, uncle!"
Xu Manman was not so eager to go abroad. For her, going abroad was as easy as drinking water. Just close the door and you would be on the other side of the blue planet.
Her excitement now is more like the joy of a student who finally has winter and summer vacations, and her parents don't care about her anymore.
Three days later, Xu Manman and Jin Zichu flew to the other side of the ocean with their newly formed security team.
After placing the people in Eagle Country for special training, Xu Manman and Jin Zichu returned to the island.
The two did not return to China until before National Day.
It was also at this time that Uncle Xu Lei officially retired.
His time in the army was different from Xu Gang's. He delayed his retirement for four years before he could truly retire.
The two brothers Xu Jianbing and Xu Jianjun have also been promoted to major generals. With two generals in the same family, although it is unknown how the next generation will develop, the second generation of the Xu family has established its foothold.
Not only them, but Xu Jianmin in Hai City was also promoted to Prosecutor General and his transfer to the central government is just around the corner.
Xu Manman originally thought that her uncle would be able to move back to the Xu family compound after retirement, but she didn't expect that he would pack his luggage and go straight back to the ancestral home in Hai City.
"I've been in Beijing for more than ten years. Now that I've finally retired, I still want to return to my roots."
This time, Xu Lei not only took his aunt away, but also Xu Gang and Chen Meiyu, regardless of their children's attempts to keep them, packed up their belongings and went back to Hai City.
They did not live in the small Western-style building given to Xu Manman, but moved directly into the ancestral home with their eldest brother and sister-in-law. Xu Wen and his wife also came with some packages upon hearing the news.
Xu Lei looked at his nephews and nieces, all of whom were quite old, standing in a row in the main hall and waved his hands, "We are just having a reunion as three brothers, so don't worry about it.
Besides, we are not yet at the stage where we need someone to take care of us. You can go and do whatever you need. There is no need to stay here."
General Xu, who just retired, believes that he is still strong and healthy.
But how dare the younger generations leave their elders, whose average age is almost 65, alone? Although most of the ancestral houses are bungalows, there is still a two-story building in the backyard. If they really fall down accidentally, it will not be a serious injury that can be corrected in a hundred days.
Xu Manman, who had the most free time, said, "Zichu and I will stay here for the next few days. We don't have much to do anyway. Tomorrow, we'll find two more helpers who can help look after the place."
No one objected to what Xu Manman said. It was true that everyone was busy with work, and after all, only this couple had the most free time.
Several elders did not say anything. When the three brothers of the Xu family were young, their family was wealthy and there were people to serve them in the courtyard. They were not so resistant to such things. With Xu Lei's level, there were people arranged in the logistics department to handle the internal affairs of the family compound.
As soon as Xu Manman said this, Jin Zichu immediately carried it out. The next day, a team of one man and two women maids were in place.
The man is responsible for cleaning the yard and some rough work. There are two women, one is responsible for housework and purchasing, and the other is responsible for the kitchen.
Although Xu Lei has retired, people at his level are still assigned two security guards. Jin Zichu also brought in four retired people to form a six-person security team, which is mainly responsible for the safety of the courtyard and the travel of the elders.
Xu Manman is in charge of all the salaries. She also has two cars parked here. The three brothers of the Xu family can drive themselves, and most of the security guards can also drive. It depends on the elders' own needs.
Once the staff arrived, the ancestral home was basically full.
Xu Wen held his teacup and watched his two brothers play chess. "We can finally enjoy the blessing of the younger generation."
These days, where he had nothing to worry about but food and clothes, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, when he was still the young master of the Xu family.
Xu Lei put down a chess piece and waited for his second brother to think. "I've been busy for half my life. It's time to stop and have a good rest. The country is now open. We won't have the days we had a few years ago. Just accept what Manman and the others have given us."
Wasn't he born to live a good life of being served by others? It was only after he joined the army that he began to suffer. However, he never regretted it. Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best, right?
