"By the way, have you contacted your old brigade commander recently?"
After inspecting the troops, the commander-in-chief suddenly asked Li Qiufan on the way back in the car.
"No, I haven't contacted the old brigade commander for a long time!"
Li Qiufan shook his head. He hadn't seen the old brigade commander for a long time, and the two of them didn't work well together, so they rarely even made phone calls.
"Alas~"
"He has not been in good health in the past two years. If you have time, give him a call to persuade him and let him take a good rest."
The commander-in-chief nodded towards Li Qiufan, then sighed and said.
"Old brigade commander, does he have a bad heart?!"
After hearing the commander-in-chief's words, Li Qiufan's head suddenly buzzed and he realized that after this year it would be 1961.
"You kid, do you know? I thought you didn't know!"
"He has already had two heart problems. Before I retired, I even signed a document in the name of the Ministry of National Defense for him to rest, but he can't rest!"
The commander-in-chief sighed again, and looked even more sad when talking about the old brigade commander's condition.
"Commander-in-Chief, why don't you bring the old brigade commander here to rest? I'll watch him here and won't let him work!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards the commander-in-chief, and then proposed to take the old brigade commander to Yunnan to recuperate.
"This is a good idea, but you have to do his job well!"
The commander-in-chief felt that Li Qiufan's suggestion was a good one. Kunming is like spring all year round, so it is very suitable to come here for recuperation.
"Then when we go back, I will report to the Military Commission first, and then contact the old brigade commander. It would be best if we could come over to celebrate the New Year together!"
Seeing that the Commander-in-Chief agreed with his proposal, Li Qiufan immediately decided to return to the military region and started making arrangements.
It was already evening when Li Qiufan and the Commander-in-Chief returned to the military area. After asking the driver to take the Commander-in-Chief home first, Li Qiufan contacted the Military Commission.
After receiving Li Qiufan's request, the General Office of the Military Commission immediately reported it. After all, there are not many people who can make the decision on this kind of thing.
"Why are you calling so late, baby?"
Li Qiufan was holding the phone and waiting for the transfer. After a while, a very familiar voice sounded on the receiver.
"Lead... leader?"
Li Qiufan was a little surprised when he heard the other party's voice, and then asked.
"Why, you can't even hear my voice?"
The person on the other side of the phone smiled and then asked Li Qiufan.
"Report to the leader, I heard it, but I'm a little unsure!"
"I'm sorry, boss, for bothering you so late!"
After confirming the identity of the other party, Li Qiufan almost choked on his own saliva. He never expected that the call would be transferred to that person.
"Haha, I haven't rested yet, so I can't even talk about disturbing you!"
"I heard that you kid wants to take your old brigade commander to Yunnan to recuperate? Is this the case?"
The man smiled again, and then asked Li Qiufan about letting the old brigade commander go to Yunnan to recuperate.
"Yes, leader. I heard from the Commander-in-Chief today about the old brigade commander's condition, so I'm a little worried and want to take the old brigade commander to my place to recuperate!"
Li Qiufan didn't hide it, he admitted it openly.
"I agree to this, but you still need to do your old brigade commander's job!"
"After arriving in Yunnan, let him take good care of his body and come back to work as soon as possible after he recovers!"
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, the man agreed without saying a word.
"yes!"
"Please rest assured, leader, I promise to complete the task!"
After hearing that person's promise, Li Qiufan couldn't help but stand at attention while holding the phone, and then spoke his word to promise.
"Okay, I'll leave your old brigade commander to you. If anything goes wrong with him, I'll ask you!"
The man agreed with a smile, and then hung up the phone after giving some instructions.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiufan immediately called the old brigade commander.
When he called the General Office of the Military Commission just now, he had already found out that the old brigade commander was currently in the capital.
"Hey, who's there?"
The call was connected after a while, and then the voice of the old brigade commander came from inside.
"Old brigade commander, I am Qiu Fan!"
After hearing the old brigade commander's voice, Li Qiufan quickly responded.
"Hahaha, it's your boy!"
"Why did you suddenly think of calling me? Did your kid get into some trouble again?"
The old brigade commander was very happy to hear that it was Li Qiufan. He hadn't talked to Li Qiufan on the phone for a long time.
"Look what you said, I'm so old and I'm still getting into trouble!"
Li Qiufan was slightly embarrassed by the teasing, but at the same time, he felt warm in his heart. The other person was still the old brigade commander who wiped his butt.
"Haha, no joke, why are you calling?"
The old brigade commander also smiled, and then asked Li Qiufan.
"Old brigade commander, I just had a phone call with him and asked him to apply for you to be taken to Yunnan to recuperate!"
Li Qiufan didn't hold back and immediately told him about the phone call with that person.
"Did you kid have a fart in your spare time? I'm in very good health, so there's no need for me to recuperate!"
After listening to Li Qiufan's words, the old brigade commander immediately became angry and started to fight.
"That...the Commander-in-Chief told me!"
Li Qiufan didn't go to the old brigade commander's head, but said weakly what the commander-in-chief told him.
"Nor does the Commander-in-Chief...Commander-in-Chief...Okay!"
Originally, the old brigade commander wanted to continue to train a few words, but he immediately stopped after realizing that he was the commander-in-chief.
"Old brigade commander, when will you come over? I will pick you up personally!"
Seeing that the old brigade commander's anger was extinguished, Li Qiufan grinned a few times and then asked when he came to Yunnan.
"Go to hell! I'm not going!"
Although he could no longer quibble about his illness, the old brigade commander refused to go to Yunnan to recuperate at any cost.
"Then there is nothing we can do. I will arrange for a squad of soldiers to go to the capital to help you move. You will always be waiting at home!"
Li Qiufan had already guessed the old brigade commander's reaction and knew that he would not easily agree to rest in Yunnan.
Then Li Qiufan acted like a rogue and said that he would send a squad of soldiers to the capital to help the old brigade commander move.
"I said you're not sick, are you? I can't even tell you to move to this stupid house!"
The old brigade commander was almost angry, and then continued to curse.
"Old brigade commander, just listen to my advice. It just so happens that you can come and celebrate the New Year with us. The commander-in-chief is waiting for news from me tomorrow morning!"
Seeing that the effect was almost there, Li Qiufan directly changed his tactics and began to persuade him earnestly.
