"Okay, thank you, Commander!" Xu Jianguo took the things, packed them up, and said with a smile.
Ma Guoliang waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? This is what the army should do!"
More than 20 minutes later, Xu Jianguo removed the silver needle and disinfected Su Dingshan. He then took out two sheets of manuscript paper from his bag, placed them in his hands, and said, "Old man, these are two prescriptions. The first one is for treating external injuries, and the second one is for you to drink on time after returning to Jingzhou. Please keep it!"
"Okay, don't worry, I promise to take the medicine on time!" Su Dingshan said with a smile.
After the three of them chatted for a while, Xu Jianguo suggested that the old man go to bed early tonight. After all, he had to rush back to Jingzhou tomorrow. If he didn't get enough rest, it would not be good for his health.
Neither Su Dingshan nor Ma Guoliang objected. The three of them returned to their own rooms and fell into a deep sleep on their beds.
The next morning at six o'clock, Xu Jianguo woke up from his sleep on time, got up, folded the quilt, tidied himself up, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang standing in the yard on time to stretch their legs.
"Good morning, old man, good morning, Commander!" Xu Jianguo greeted with a smile.
"Good morning, kid. How's your material preparation going? Can I take some back today?" Su Dingshan asked with a smile.
"Okay, I wrote more than ten pages of manuscript last night. I'll give it to you later!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself. We old guys can still hold on for a while, but you also need to grow up quickly, so that we can hand over some things to you with confidence!" Su Dingshan patted Xu Jianguo on the shoulder and said.
"I understand, old man, don't worry!" Xu Jianguo said solemnly.
After the three of them finished exercising, they returned to the house. Tai Wei and the other two had already brought breakfast from the cafeteria.
Xu Jianguo didn't rush to eat, but went back to the room. Using the cover of his shoulder bag, he took out more than a dozen sheets of manuscript paper from the space and placed them in front of Su Dingshan.
Su Dingshan put down the egg he was peeling, clapped his hands, and picked up the stack of manuscript paper.
Upon seeing this, his confidential secretary He Hongliang immediately took out a magnifying glass from his bag and put it in his hand.
The old man put on his reading glasses and looked at it carefully.
The people in the room put down their breakfast at this time and did not make a sound, for fear of disturbing the old man.
Half an hour later, Su Dingshan took off his reading glasses and handed the dozen pages of manuscript to He Hongliang, saying, "Seal it according to confidentiality standards!"
"Yes!" He Hongliang said after taking the things.
"Boy, your material is well written! It seems that many of our ideas are indeed outdated. I really don't know what's wrong with your brain. You can even think of things that we old guys who have fought all our lives can't think of." Su Dingshan looked at Xu Jianguo and said.
"Grandpa, please stop praising me, otherwise my tail will be soaring to the sky!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Su Dingshan didn't say anything, but stared at Xu Jianguo with his dim eyes. After a long while, he asked, "Xu Jianguo, can the country and I trust you?"
Ma Guoliang and others were stunned after hearing Su Dingshan's question. They didn't understand why the old man suddenly spoke to Xu Jianguo in such a serious tone.
And here only Ma Guoliang knew what his old leader meant. He hoped to get a promise from Xu Jianguo. Although promises may become worthless when facing national affairs, everyone's promises are different. Some people will keep their promises, while others will go back on their words.
But since Su Dingshan asked this, the first thing that can be confirmed is that the written materials compiled by Xu Jianguo are indeed of high value, and secondly, the old man hopes, or is willing to hear Xu Jianguo's promise.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Jianguo's future should be smooth sailing.
However, this is just Ma Guoliang's personal wish. After all, the storm has not yet begun, and no one can predict how destructive this storm will be.
Xu Jianguo didn't expect Su Dingshan to ask such a question in such a tone. The smile on his face disappeared immediately. He looked into the old man's eyes without the slightest fear and said solemnly: "Old man, you and the country can always trust me!"
"Good boy, I hope you can do what you say and never let me and the country down!" Su Dingshan said, and a kind smile appeared on his face again.
Su Dingshan was very happy, and he was very satisfied with Xu Jianguo's attitude just now. He did not give a rash and quick answer, nor did he show any guilt or timidity. Instead, he gave him an answer after careful consideration, and at the same time made a promise to him.
The atmosphere at the table was no longer as depressing as before. Su Dingshan, Ma Guoliang and Xu Jianguo were chatting and laughing, while Tai Wei and the other two finished their breakfast with a nervous mood.
After the meal, Xu Jianguo brought another bowl of Chinese medicine. After the old man drank the medicine, he gave him another injection.
After the treatment, Xu Jianguo helped Su Dingshan stand up, tidied his military uniform for him, and then accompanied him out the door.
At this time, Tai Wei and the other two had already moved the two large jars of well water, cellared liquor and Panda cigarettes that Xu Jianguo had prepared for the old man into the car, and then stood aside waiting.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Su Dingshan turned to look at Ma Guoliang and said, "Big face, Binhai is doing a good job, but there are still some minor flaws. Deal with them as soon as possible. Next time I go to Jingzhou for a meeting, I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Yes! Old leader, please rest assured, I will definitely deal with those problems as soon as possible, and then go to Jingzhou to report to you." Ma Guoliang said.
Su Dingshan patted his shoulder, nodded with a smile, then looked at Xu Jianguo and said, "Boy, I'm very happy that you came to Binhai this time. Not only did you cure my physical injuries, but you also gave me peace of mind. I look forward to seeing you in Jingzhou soon!" Su Dingshan said with a smile.
"Grandpa, I will leave as soon as you have made the arrangements, and I will bring the remaining materials with me!" Xu Jianguo also said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Jingzhou!" Su Dingshan nodded.
"Yes, old man, have a safe journey!" Xu Jianguo said, and then saluted him solemnly.
After returning the greeting, Su Dingshan got into the jeep without any reluctance, and then waved to Ma Guoliang and Xu Jianguo.
He Hongliang closed the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Then the old man's guard started the car and drove towards the gate of the Binhai Base.
The people from the General Staff and the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute had already gotten into their cars and were waiting at the gate. When the drivers of several cars saw Su Dingshan's jeep appear, they immediately started their vehicles and followed.
The convoy headed towards the distance, facing the rising sun.
