Five days later, the commander-in-chief arrived in Yunnan from the capital, accompanied by his wife and niece.
On this day, Li Qiufan happened to have a rest and did not go to the military area. He stayed at home with his son and little cotton-padded jacket.
"Commander, the commander-in-chief has arrived at the military area!"
Li Qiufan was lying on the ground teasing his daughter when suddenly the guard walked in and whispered something.
"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived?"
After hearing the guard's words, Li Qiufan stood up suddenly, and then confirmed to him with excitement on his face.
"Tian Yu, come and look after the child, I'll go pick up the commander-in-chief!"
After the guard nodded to confirm, Li Qiufan hurriedly turned to Tian Yu, who was cooking in the kitchen and shouted.
"Ah? The commander-in-chief is here?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Tian Yu walked out of the kitchen with small steps and asked with surprise on his face.
Tian Yu knew the commander-in-chief's position in Li Qiufan's heart, so this was almost like a visit from his parents-in-law.
"Yes, the commander-in-chief called me a few days ago and said he would come to celebrate the New Year with us, but he has not confirmed the date."
"Stop cooking for now, come here and look after the children, and I'll fetch the Commander-in-Chief home!"
Li Qiufan smiled and nodded to Tian Yu, and then told him about the previous phone call from the Commander-in-Chief.
"Then go quickly, don't keep him waiting too long!"
Tian Yu quickly agreed and then walked towards the child.
After leaving the house, Li Qiufan urged the driver towards the military area.
When Li Qiufan arrived at the military area, he saw the commander-in-chief and his family drinking tea and chatting with Zhao Gang in the living room.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
Li Qiufan saluted the commander-in-chief with excitement and shouted.
"Haha, you brat have a day off today?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's voice, the commander-in-chief immediately turned his head and looked towards the door, then smiled and said to him.
"Yes, I told you to tell me in advance so that I can pick you up directly!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards the Commander-in-Chief, and then said hello to the Commander-in-Chief's wife and niece.
"Qiu Fan, you are really unjust. You didn't even tell me that the Commander-in-Chief was coming to Yunnan!"
Zhao Gang on the side also intervened, looking at Li Qiufan with an unhappy face and said.
"You sour scholar, why are you joining in the fun? Didn't the commander-in-chief call before and set a specific time?"
Seeing Zhao Gang complaining about himself, Li Qiufan immediately glared at him and said.
"Okay! Stop bullying Xiao Zhao all day long. Be careful, I will deal with you!"
Seeing Zhao Gang's defeat, the commander-in-chief immediately started to complain about him, which made Li Qiufan only smile bitterly.
"I've had a lot of tea. Let's go to your house and see the children!"
After teaching Li Qiufan a lesson, the commander-in-chief immediately asked to go see the child.
"Okay, let's go now, Tian Yu is waiting for you at home with the children!"
"Old Zhao, please do your hard work in the military region these two days, and I will make up for it later!"
Hearing the Commander-in-Chief saying that he was going to his home, Li Qiufan nodded immediately, and then looked at Zhao Gang and gave him instructions.
"Don't worry, just stay with the commander-in-chief, I'm here in the military region!"
Zhao Gang immediately understood what Li Qiufan meant, and then nodded and said.
"Why should I accompany you? I'm not here to see you. You should work!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, the commander-in-chief was unhappy and began to reprimand him directly.
"Commander-in-Chief, you two haven't seen each other for a long time. Let Qiu Fan stay with you!"
Li Qiufan immediately lowered his head after being scolded by the commander-in-chief, but Zhao Gang opened his mouth to smooth things over for him.
"Stop talking nonsense. I just need his son and daughter to accompany me. This brat should do whatever he is supposed to do. I won't bother anyone else if I see him!"
The commander-in-chief didn't take this at all. After glancing at Li Qiufan, he waved his hand and said to Zhao Gang.
"Ahem, let's go home first. We can wait until tomorrow to talk about work. I'm still off today!"
Seeing that Zhao Gang's persuasion was fruitless, Li Qiufan hurriedly coughed twice and changed the subject, leading the commander-in-chief and his party back home.
After arriving at home, Tian Yu hurriedly said hello to the commander-in-chief and his party, and then took everyone to see the child.
After seeing Li Qiufan's children, especially the infant Li Ruiya, the hearts of the commander-in-chief and his wife almost melted.
"Shuoshuo, call me grandpa!"
Seeing that the commander-in-chief and his wife loved their children so much, Li Qiufan was very happy, and then guided Li Shuo to call people.
“……………………….”
(I won’t write down what I’m calling, so you can save yourself the trouble of taking advantage of me!)
"Oh, good boy, good boy!"
Hearing Xiao Li Shuo call him grandpa, the commander-in-chief quickly agreed and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
Then Li Qiufan guided Li Shuo to call the commander-in-chief's wife and niece, and the whole family burst into laughter.
After playing with the children for a while, Tian Yu and the commander-in-chief's niece went to cook. The commander-in-chief's wife stayed in the room to take care of the two children, while Li Qiufan and the commander-in-chief went to the living room.
"Commander-in-Chief, how is your old health lately?"
After the two sat down, Li Qiufan was the first to ask about the commander-in-chief's health.
"Haha, I feel much better since I retired. I don't have those old problems anymore and I feel refreshed!"
The commander-in-chief smiled at Li Qiufan and said that he no longer had to work as hard during this period, and the commander-in-chief's health was much better than before.
"That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to your current situation!"
Li Qiufan nodded, finally relieved to see that the Commander-in-Chief could accept all this calmly.
"Don't worry about me, I've seen all kinds of big winds and waves, this little thing won't break me!"
The commander-in-chief shook his head at Li Qiufan. That incident did not have much impact on him.
"Stop talking about this, tell me about the situation here. How is it in the south?"
Then the commander-in-chief continued to speak, asking Li Qiufan about the situation in the south.
"Currently, the Beautiful Country has begun to intervene, but it has only sent a small-scale combat force in, in order to prevent the puppet Z power they support in the south from being wiped out by the north!"
After hearing the commander-in-chief's inquiry, Li Qiufan explained the situation in the south.
At present, the south is completely in chaos. As the puppet Z in the south is beaten back and forth, the beautiful country begins to send troops to intervene in order to prevent the north from completing the reunification.
"What a wolfish ambition! These stupid foreign devils just beat them lightly!"
Upon hearing that the beautiful country had begun to intervene in the disputes in the south, the commander-in-chief immediately cursed angrily.
