Of course Li Chunxiang didn't come to see Xie Tian specifically, but teasing Tang Haoer was something she never tired of doing. Of course, Xie Tian would also be the target of teasing by her if she were present.
As for how serious Li Chunxiang's talkativeness is, only the devil knows.
In the study on the second floor, Xie Tian and Pang Yuan were chatting happily. At this time, Tang Haoer and Li Chunxiang knocked on the door and came in with several plates of dumplings. Xie Tian was stunned when he saw Li Chunxiang and said, "Why are you here?"
Li Chunxiang giggled and placed the dumplings with vinegar and garlic in front of Xie Tian and Pang Yuan. He first said hello to Pang Yuan, then turned to Xie Tian and said: "You haven't returned to Dagu Town for so long, so I can only bring your son here." It’s up to you.”
"My son?" Xie Tian looked confused.
Li Chunxiang chuckled and patted her belly and said, "It's been three months. How are you, surprise or shock?"
Pang Yuan, who was opposite him, couldn't help coughing violently and peeked at Tang Haoer. He knew Li Chunxiang, and he had also heard some things about Xie Tian and Li Chunxiang.
Tang Haoer, however, smiled and placed a torn plate of Bazhen roast chicken and a plate of tofu mixed with green onions in front of the two of them, as if he didn't care at all.
Xie Tian looked at Li Chunxiang with a dark look and asked, "Are you really pregnant?"
Li Chunxiang nodded and raised her belly to Xie Tian: "That's still fake. If you don't believe me, just touch and see. Your belly is already up."
Xie Tian laughed: "Don't take advantage of me, I won't touch it. Even if your belly turns into an elephant's belly, you can't touch me. Stay here first. Lao Cui has gone to the front line of Yangquan. I'll call him later." When he comes back, first ask him to accompany you to the big hospital in Taiyuan for a good check-up. I will arrange for someone to go through the discharge formalities for him and let him return to Dagu Town to take over as your shopkeeper."
Hearing Xie Tian's answer, Pang Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and laughed.
This was a bit of a joke, but he could also see that the relationship between Li Chunxiang and Xie Tiantang Haoer was really unusual.
Could this be the legendary relationship between soldiers and civilians?
Haha, just kidding.
Pang Yuan picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "I'm really hungry. I'm going to beat the local tyrants today. There are roast chicken and dumplings, just one bite away..."
Li Chunxiang giggled and took out a bottle of wine like a magic trick: "Er Niang made sweet potato roasted by herself. She knew that I was coming to Taiyuan and asked me to bring a few bottles to Mr. Xie. She was so scared that I didn't dare to tell others that I was coming. Taiyuan.”
Pang Yuan had already guessed the answer, but still asked jokingly: "Why?"
Li Chunxiang chuckled and said, "If I tell you, I'm afraid I'll have to drive a few carriages, and I'll have to walk on the road for several days. It's like taking a train and it only takes half a day."
Xie Tian pulled up a stool for Li Chunxiang to sit down and asked, "Is Zhangzhuang connected by train?"
Li Chunxiang sat down and nodded: "It was just opened yesterday. Today is the first car. There are only two carriages hanging, so I can catch up."
It seems that the train Li Chunxiang took was the train that was put into service for testing. I don’t know what means she used to get on the train.
Xie Tian suddenly looked at Li Chunxiang with a dark look.
Didn't she pat her belly and tell the people on the railway that she came to Taiyuan to ask me for an explanation?
This woman can really do this.
Tang Haoer smiled and pulled up a chair and sat down: "The railway to Zhangzhuang has been repaired. Cousin Chunxiang said that in three or four days, the bombed railway from Zhangzhuang to Shanyin can also be repaired. This time our transportation can be improved." It’s convenient, if you want to go back to Zhangzhuang, you can get there in a few hours by train.”
Xie Tian looked at Li Chunxiang: "Who is your cousin?"
"Duan Sixi from the Railway Bureau is responsible for repairing railways."
Xie Tian chuckled dryly. It seemed that he was overthinking it. Li Chunxiang also had connections.
Seeing Li Chunxiang pouring wine for himself and Pang Yuan, Xie Tian simply grabbed the phone on the table, shook it a few times and said into the phone: "Get me the front finger of Yangquan 49th Army and find Commander Qin."
The call was quickly connected, and Xie Tian asked about the situation on the front line. It was still the same. The 49th Army was still spending time with the Yangquan Japs there, and the tunnels were still being excavated intensively. There was not much change.
Before ending the call, Xie Tian said: "Commander Qin, please find someone to see if Lao Cui from the cooking team at the headquarters has returned to Taiyuan. If he hasn't left yet, ask him to come back quickly."
Li Chunxiang hurriedly stopped him: "Why are you calling him back? I didn't come here to ask you for help. Let him fight the Japanese with you. I can handle it on my own."
Xie Tian covered the phone and smiled at Li Chunxiang: "You are in a special situation now. I don't lack a soldier who can cook. Let him retire and help you. Later, I will arrange an errand for Lao Cui in the reserve in the county. He is still My soldiers. This matter has been decided."
"But..." Li Chunxiang.
Tang Haoer giggled and hugged Li Chunxiang: "Sister Chunxiang, stop being pretentious and just listen to his arrangements. His arrangements are all comprehensive."
Xie Tian let go of the phone and said, "That's it for now. If you have any questions, please report to me at any time."
In fact, it is true to say that Xie Tian runs around all day long and rarely stays in one place for a few days. But as long as Lao Cui knows exactly where Xie Tian will stay for a few days, he will immediately follow Xie Tian's guards. I rushed over and said plausibly: The commander-in-chief loves to eat the food I cook, and it is my job to take good care of the commander-in-chief's diet.
Over time, Xie Tian got used to it. Hu Zhiyong and the others were going to rush over anyway, and they couldn't stop them, so there was no harm in bringing one more Lao Cui with them.
Xie Tian and Pang Yuan chatted about important matters for a long time, and they happened to take advantage of the meal to relax.
Xie Tian smiled at Tang Haoer and Li Chunxiang and said, "Let's eat together with chopsticks. Chunxiang is just telling me about Dagu Town."
Although Xie Tian now owns Taiyuan and four or five cities and a dozen counties, his feelings for Dagu Town are irreplaceable. After all, it is the cradle of the People's Liberation Army and his roots.
The sweet potatoes made by Er Niang were not delicious, spicy and bitter, but Xie Tian drank them with gusto. Pang Yuan couldn't drink anymore after two cups. He hurriedly pretended that he had something to do and couldn't drink more, and ate dumplings with his head down.
Dumplings are dumplings stuffed with cabbage and eggs, but they are already a rare delicacy in this era when even staying hungry is a problem.
The four of them were eating, drinking and chatting. Li Chunxiang was mainly talking and the others were listening.
At this time, the phone on the table rang. Xie Tian picked it up and said, "I'm Xie Baoqing."
Qin Fen's anxious voice came from the phone. After hearing a few words, Xie Tian pressed the phone tightly to his ear. After listening silently, he hummed and said with a straight face: "I understand. Tell Tiedan and Sansheng not to act rashly." , I’ll rush over right away.”
It seemed that something bad had happened. Pang Yuan and the other three also stopped joking and looked at Xie Tian who was answering the phone.
