Lieutenant General Lu didn't realize what it was at first. After a while, he remembered that there seemed to be a "meeting gift".
However, money in the last days is like waste paper and serves no purpose.
He thought for a while, went behind the desk, opened the drawer, grabbed a handful of something from inside, and handed it to Mu Tang.
Mu Tang quickly reached out to catch it.
A few particles fell into her palm, but they were not what she wanted, but a few colorful crystals.
"Crystal!"
Mu Tang was instinctively happy at first, then grimaced, shook his head, and returned the crystal:
"No, no, that's not what I'm talking about..."
Lieutenant General Lu was stunned for a moment and did not take the thing she handed back. He motioned for her to put it away and asked:
"what is that?"
Mu Tang opened her mouth to say that what she wanted was milk candy, but suddenly she remembered that Lu Yan had said, don't say it directly, so she stopped talking.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lu Yan beside him.
I saw that he was still looking at the documents in his hand intently, as if he knew nothing about the matter here.
Lieutenant General Lu on the other side seemed to have thought of something again, and he perked up. He walked to the filing cabinet, took out the key, opened the locked cabinet door, and took out a silver-white suitcase.
The box has complicated carvings on it, and it also has a combination lock. The only thing missing is the words "I hold a lot of secrets" written on the outer shell.
Mu Tang's eyes lit up and his attention was immediately attracted.
Lieutenant General Lu turned the combination lock. After the sound of gears rubbing, a crisp "thud" sounded, and the silver box came in response.
Mu Tang couldn't wait to look inside.
It was still not what she wanted, but it was filled with miscellaneous small items, many of which were exquisitely made.
Mu Tang was still attracted and couldn't help but move over to take a look.
There were rows of military medals, large and small, inside. Mu Tang also found a few familiar things inside, red five-pointed star badges.
She had one in her jar, given to her by a little warrior.
Lieutenant General Lu took out a wallet from the box, opened it and flipped through two pages. He looked at it again and again with nostalgic eyes, then took out two items and handed them to Mu Tang.
Mu Tang took it and took a look, and was immediately attracted to it.
These are two photos. The top is a photo of Lieutenant General Lu and others. Although both of them look much younger and their facial lines are much softer, Mu Tang can still recognize them at a glance——
The other person is Lu Yan.
In the first photo, Lu Yan looks much younger, with a hint of youthfulness in his eyebrows. He is wearing a straight military uniform and standing next to Lieutenant General Lu.
Lieutenant General Lu seemed very happy, with a bit of a smile on his cold face, and his chest was solemnly decorated with military medals.
Neither of them made any extra moves, they just stood together with their backs straight and took a photo together.
"This is a photo of Lu Yan when he first joined the army."
Lieutenant General Lu clicked on the photo of Mu Tang’s palm:
"He was still very young at that time. He went to a military academy in college and had excellent grades. He graduated early and enlisted in the army."
There was a bit of pride on his face.
Not far away, Lu Yan's hand while flipping through documents paused, and then quickly resumed his movements without even raising his head.
Mu Tang continued to look at the second photo.
This photo is quite old. Even though it is well preserved, the photo has begun to yellow uncontrollably.
This photo is of Lieutenant General Lu and a child.
But Lieutenant General Lu in this picture seems to be the same age as Lu Yan now. As for the child next to him, although he is wearing a "rabbit" costume, he has a big red mole in the center of his forehead and his cheeks are dyed red. , seems to be wearing lipstick!
But Mu Tang still recognized who this person was:
"It's Lu Yan!"
Lieutenant General Lu nodded, looking a little nostalgic. He took the photo from her hand and touched it carefully:
"This was taken from his performance in the sixth grade of elementary school on Children's Day. I happened to have a few days off at the time, and this was the first time I attended his school event."
When Lu Yan heard the words "Children's Day Performance", he suddenly thought of the photo and finally stopped moving, his eyes twitching.
He himself still vividly remembers that photo, which is simply his dark history!
But Lieutenant General Lu unexpectedly treasured this photo. He put it in a box and carried it with him wherever he went.
Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of showing photos to others casually, so after so long, Lu Yan almost forgot about this photo.
Unexpectedly, his uncle actually saved the photo until now and showed it to Mu Tang! ! !
Mu Tang leaned over to watch together, listening to Lieutenant General Lu talking about the Children's Day that year.
Although Lieutenant General Lu was not good at words and spoke in the most concise way, and his voice did not even have any emotional ups and downs, Mu Tang still listened with interest.
When she heard "He told me that he didn't like rabbits and wanted to play the role of a tree," the little girl finally couldn't help it and laughed softly.
The laughter reached Lu Yan's ears, making his hands tremble uncontrollably, the corners of his eyes twitching, and his scalp starting to feel numb.
On the other side, General Lu handed the photo in his hand to Mu Tang again:
"This is what you want, but unfortunately, Xiao Yan didn't like taking pictures when he was a child. I also neglected a lot. There are very few photos of him."
Then he pointed to the picture of the rabbit in Mu Tang's hand and said:
"If we talk about black history, this one can barely be considered one."
Lu Yan finally couldn't read a single word of the document in his hand. He stayed there for a few seconds before resisting the urge to go over and get the photos.
Originally, he just thought that Lieutenant General Lu just wanted to share the photo with Mu Tang, but he didn't expect that when he took this photo, he "consciously" wanted to take this "ugly photo"! !
As for why Lu Zhongjiang thought that what Mu Tang wanted was the photo, it was thanks to the fact that when his wife was still alive, he accidentally watched the eight o'clock TV finale on his wife's TV.
The heroine and the hero's mother got back together, and the family happily sat on the bed and looked through old photos, and then they laughed when they saw the ugly photo of the hero.
At that time, he did not have such a high status. His wife applied for family members to accompany the army, and they could still get along day and night.
He had long forgotten what the TV was about, but he still vaguely remembered the plot.
After Mu Tang admired Lu Yan in different periods, he carefully put the photos away and then shook his head:
"Uncle, that's not what I'm talking about."
Now Lieutenant General Lu was completely confused. If you don't want this, what do you want?
Mu Tang pretended to be scared and glanced at Lu Yan, then made an exaggerated "shh" gesture to Lieutenant General Lu, pulled Lieutenant General Lu's arm, and took him aside.
As if to confirm, Mu Tang glanced at Lu Yan again and whispered with a wink:
"It's... it's what Lu Yan used to fight in school. You went to see him and handed him something before leaving."
As he said that, as if he was afraid that Lieutenant General Lu would not understand, he added:
"One by one..."
Lieutenant General Lu pondered for a moment. Lu Yan had a lot of fights during his high school days and was often called his parents, but he only went there once due to time constraints.
What he handed to Lu Yan before leaving...
It seemed like... the wedding candy his adjutant gave him when he got married?
"You mean milk..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Tang quickly raised his finger:
"Shhh!!"
Then he turned to look at Lu Yan with lingering fear, as if he didn't dare to say it in front of Lu Yan.
Lu Yan looked at the little girl's exaggerated performance and couldn't help but smile.
Lieutenant General Lu cooperated without saying his name, but shook his head:
"I'm sorry, little girl, I don't have any here at the moment."
"ah?"
Mu Tang was really disappointed this time, but she didn't mess around. She just nodded in despair:
"All right……"
Lieutenant General Lu had an apology on his face. Seeing how disappointed the little girl was, he couldn't help but say:
"But if there is a chance in the future, I will remember to carry it for you."
"Really?!"
Mu Tang immediately wiped away his disappointed emotions and looked at Lieutenant General Lu with bright eyes. After receiving a positive answer, he said happily:
"Uncle, you are so kind!!"
These familiar words came out again. Seeing that Lieutenant General Lu's facial lines had softened a lot because of the little girl's words, Lu Yan held his forehead with a headache not far away.
