Noon.
Beijing.
Second Uncle's house in the General Staff Quarters.
Lunch is ready, and Ci Lifen asked Dong Xuebing to sit down. Xie Guojian asked Dong Xuebing to pour a glass of Erguotou, but Ci Lifen gave him a stare.
"Xiao Bing is still injured. Don't drink." Ci Lifen said.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Second Aunt, I am fine, and I want to drink too."
Xie Guojian laughed. "Don't compare this brat's vitality to ordinary people. These injuries are nothing to him. It's fine to drink a little. "
Dong Xuebing smiled and thought to himself that his Second Uncle knows him well.
Ci Lifen said. "If Huilan knows you are trying to get Xiao Bing to drink, she will get mad at you."
Xie Guojian replied. "He is a man, and his injuries will recover faster. Alcohol is used to disinfect the wound."
"What are you talking about?" Ci Lifen laughed at Dong Xuebing. "There is no way to reason with him."
"It's fine." Dong Xuebing really wants to drink. "I had been holding back for so many days. Haha … I can use my Second Uncle's promotion to General to have a drink or two. If not, Huilan and my mother will be watching me when I return to Fen Zhou City, and I will not have the chance to drink."
Ci Lifen points at Dong Xuebing. "Both of you are alcoholics. Haha …"
Dong Xuebing immediately raises his glass. "Second Uncle, let me give you a toast. Congratulations on your promotion."
Xie Guojian clinked glasses with Dong Xuebing. "Your Second Aunt is right. It's fine if you can't drink. Just drink slowly and don't let anything happen to you."
"Ok. Let's not have a toast."
"Just a few sips will do. It's just for show."
Dong Xuebing and Xie Guojian raised their glasses. "This toast is for you."
Ci Lifen also raised her teacup. "Second Aunt will use tea instead of wine to toast you."
Ci Lifen also raised her teacup. "Second Aunt will use tea instead of wine to toast you."
"Please don't. Both of you are my elders, and I don't deserve it." Dong Xuebing quickly clinked glasses with Dong Xuebing. "Let me toast the both of you. It's only right for me to bring the hard drive. Don't mention it again, or you will be making fun of me."
The three of them drank.
Dong Xuebing put down his cup and grumbled. "This Huilan is too much. Why didn't she tell me about this earlier? I was stunned when I heard you had changed your family members."
As they chatted, the topic of Zhong Lizhen's matter came up again.
Dong Xuebing had heard from Xie Guojian and the rest that Xie Guojian had wooed Zhong Lizhen when he was young. But now, they are talking about it openly, and he knows this is all in the past.
Ci Lifen smiled and said, "I was going to call Lizhen over today."
Xie Guojian chuckled. "She just came back to China. She just completed her citizenship application a while ago. She's currently busy with research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I called her, but she said she didn't have time. However, she's quite concerned about your injury. She asked us to tell you not to be so impulsive in the future."
Dong Xuebing smiled. "Aunt had entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
Xie Guojian replied. "Compared to her, my rank is nothing. Lizhen had just returned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and she was given the title of a Research Fellow. Although she was not given the title publicly, her rank of Major General had already been confirmed. Haha … when I was promoted to Major General, I had served in the military for twenty years. But Lizhen had only returned to China for a month. Do you think we can be compared?"
Ci Lifen replied. "She knows technology. What do you know?"
Xie Guojian ignored her and laughed. "Liu Xuemei, Deputy Director of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital, is the youngest female General in China. Now, the title of youngest should be given to Lizhen. She is several years younger than Deputy Director Liu, and I think this year's National Science Award should be given to Lizhen."
Aunt is doing well.
Dong Xuebing is also happy for Zhong Lizhen.
Although they had not known each other for long, they had been through thick and thin together. Also, the Xie Family is close to Zhong Lizhen, and Dong Xuebing hopes Aunt will get better.
"Stop chatting."
"Come, Xiao Bing. Let's eat."
"Ok. I want to try Second Aunt's cooking."
"Haha … it's been a while since I cooked, and I feel better."
"No. How come my food tastes so good? No … I still need to get a bowl of rice."
"Our Xiao Bing knows how to talk. Don't move. Second Aunt will get you some rice."
After a good meal.
The few of them finished their meals.
After clearing the table, Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Second Uncle." Dong Xuebing looks at him. "I had worked in State Security for half a year. If you are in charge of the Second Department of the General Staff, this … this department …"
There are many departments in the General Staff.
But the Second Ministry was special. It was a department similar to the State Security.
Xie Guojian laughed. "I had just taken over, and the procedures are not done yet. But do you know what's the first thing I did on my first day?"
Dong Xuebing asked. "What is it?"
"I want to check your records."
"… Huh? My records?"
Xie Guojian points at Dong Xuebing. "I had only heard about you. But after I checked your records, I remembered all the troubles you had caused. You are now at the highest level in the Second Department. I didn't ask you earlier. Did you go to Port X recently?" Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat.
Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat. "Second Uncle, please don't tell Huilan. I …"
"I know." Xie Guojian warned. "But take it easy. You are injured recently, and don't run around. Rest well."
Ci Lifen said. "Isn't the Central Security Bureau under the Second Department? Xiao Bing is a troublemaker, and he must have offended many people. Why don't you arrange a guard for him?"
Xie Guojian laughed. "The Central Security Bureau is a special department, and many of the departments are independent. I can't command many of them. Also, only Huilan has been assigned a guard among the younger generation, and it was approved by Senior Feng. Senior Feng dotes on Huilan the most, and I can't make the decision alone. I must ask Senior Feng about this."
Ci Lifen looks at her husband. "Why don't you ask him?"
Dong Xuebing quickly waved his hand. "No, Second Aunt. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want a guard. If anything happens, will he be the one protecting me, or I will be the one protecting him?" Being a guard might sound impressive, but Dong Xuebing does not want to be restricted. This is not protecting him. It's the same as being monitored all day. Dong Xuebing is used to being free and is not used to all these.
Hearing this, Ci Lifen also laughed. "That's right. Hehe, with your combat power, you don't need anyone to protect you. You'd be doing something unnecessary."
All of them had experienced Dong Xuebing's capabilities.
