After solving the problem of moving, Xu Jianguo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was looking forward to returning to Sandaliang to visit his relatives.
Since today is the day the three old men leave Dawali, after breakfast, Xu Jianguo began to help Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong pack up their things.
Unlike the two old men who came with light luggage, it is no exaggeration to say that their departure from Jingzhou could be described as fleeing. If Xu Jianguo had not personally gone to pick them up, the two would never have been able to leave Jingzhou.
Xu Jianguo still remembers that, not counting those he killed personally, there were dozens of people ambushed on the road that Fu Bo and his men killed.
If the two old men were to rely on themselves alone, the consequences would be self-evident.
Even though the two old men only had one bag each when they came, during the time they stayed in Dawali, Xu Jianguo, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang would send them some things from time to time.
A lot of things like clothes, shoes, bedding, and even pots and pans were saved up.
In Su Dingshan's own words, these clothes alone were more than he had accumulated in Jingzhou over the past few decades. This showed that the three families did not treat the two old men as outsiders, but took care of them as if they were their own elders.
Because there were so many things, Xu Jianguo first packed up the two people's valuables so that they could carry them with them.
As for the remaining clothes, bedding and daily necessities, Xu Jianguo had packed them all up, and the guards would come and take them away.
In the blink of an eye, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang, who had finished their work, walked in from outside.
Tai Wei and Guo Bin followed closely behind the two of them, and the four of them were carrying a lot of things in their hands, big and small bags.
Xu Jianguo pushed open the main hall door and welcomed the four people in. He asked with a smile, "Commander, Deputy Commander, what's going on?"
"Well, your two aunts knew that the old leader was going back to Jingzhou, and they were worried, so they asked us to send some things over." Ma Guoliang raised the things in his hand and shook them, saying with a smile.
At this time, Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong, who had heard the noise, came out of the house and said angrily, "Jingzhou has everything. What are you doing?"
"Old Chief, this is not prepared by us. My wife knows that you like to eat the pickles she pickles. As soon as she heard that you were going back to Jingzhou, she asked me to take out this unopened jar of pickles early in the morning and asked you to take it back to Jingzhou." Ma Guoliang said helplessly.
"That's right, that's what my wife meant. This jar contains the fermented tofu she made. I'll bring it to you when the time comes!" Dong Jixiang also said with a smile.
In fact, Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong were very touched, but Xu Jianguo knew that they were very reluctant to trouble others because they had been strong all their lives.
In addition, they all come from military backgrounds and are used to doing things in a swift and decisive manner. This is what they can't stand the most.
Thanks to Xu Jianguo's jokes, the two old men finally accepted the things.
Old Master Zhou, who was standing in the room, looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. In a trance, he even wondered whether it was right or wrong to bring Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong back to Jingzhou.
After all, these two old friends of his had finally managed to escape from that circle of gossip, and what was even more rare was that there were so many people around them who were truly kind to them.
However, Mr. Zhou looked at Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong, then looked at Xu Jianguo who was standing beside them, and finally he became firm in his inner thoughts.
He believed that as long as Xu Jianguo was there, the two old men's lives in Jingzhou would never be the same as before. After all, this brat was the best at creating miracles.
What Xu Jianguo didn't know was that Mr. Zhou had looked through his files more than once, and could almost recite his life story by heart. However, the more he looked, the more horrified he became.
In fact, when Xu Jianguo went to Jingzhou to treat the old woman last time, the driver Xiao Liang went to find him late at night. Mr. Zhou's main purpose was to ask about these things.
Because although he was willing to believe Xu Jianguo in his heart, being in this position, he could not just do things according to his own wishes. More importantly, he had to consider the issue from the national level.
So at that time he wanted to confront Xu Jianguo, but before the two met, Mr. Zhou had a phone call with Su Dingshan, which gradually dispelled the doubts in his heart, and finally completely suspended the investigation of Xu Jianguo.
At that time, the two old men talked a lot about Xu Jianguo on the phone, and Mr. Zhou also talked about the doubts in his investigation one by one. After he finished speaking about these doubts, Su Dingshan did not answer for a long time. Only after a long time did he ask three questions:
First, since Xu Jianguo joined the army, has he done anything that endangers national security?
Second, how significant was the impact of the new equipment designed and developed by Xu Jianguo himself in the self-defense counterattack against India and Vietnam and in the war against China? How many lives did they save for the Longxia soldiers?
Third, are the health of these old guys getting better and better under Xu Jianguo’s care?
Every time Su Dingshan asked a question, Mr. Zhou would answer it, and his answers were all affirmative of Xu Jianguo's contributions.
After the three questions were answered, Mr. Zhou's doubts about Xu Jianguo completely disappeared.
He knew that Xu Jianguo must have a secret, and a big secret at that. Especially as a founding father, he had the right to read the country's top-secret files that could never be unsealed. So he knew that there must be talented people in this land that had prospered for thousands of years.
Through various analyses of Xu Jianguo's past experiences, Mr. Zhou is basically certain that this kid belongs to this category of people, and is a rare person who is willing to use his abilities to serve the motherland.
And he had to admit that, in public, this kid had indeed made indelible contributions to the country, and no one could deny his merits.
Personally, who among the leaders in the Central Government dared to say that they had not received Xu Jianguo's favor? Just the few jars of century-old medicinal wine that Xu Jianguo gave him that Mr. Zhou distributed were definitely not something that could be easily obtained by having money or power.
So after Mr. Zhou finished his phone call with Su Dingshan and pondered for a long time, he finally made a decision.
