Chapter 430 Finally Met The Old Chief

"Come, come, braised gravy and rice are also delicious." The veteran first poured half of the braised pork for himself, and poured the rest into Chu Bai's lunch box.

The veteran's love for Chu Bai is not hidden.

Chu Bai smiled and started to eat.

The veteran looked at him with a smile, "It's nice to be young.

After he finished speaking, he also lowered his head to eat, but he ate very slowly, taking small bites.

Chu Bai asked: "Why, not to your liking?"

The veteran smiled and shook his head: "Braised pork, can it still be unappetizing?"

"Then you don't hurry to eat, eat more!"

The veteran pointed to his jaw, "I'm old and my teeth are bad. When I was young like you, I could eat three bowls of rice in one meal."

"Unfortunately, there wasn't so much braised pork to eat back then."

"The thing I wanted to eat the most back then was canned beef, but that stuff was hard to get."

The veteran smiled, biting the braised pork in small bites.

Chu Bai's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the war between the Dragon Kingdom and the Pretty Kingdom in the Jungle Kingdom in the last century.

The canned beef of the Pretty Country is famous on the battlefield, but the soldiers of the Dragon Country can only eat it after they have seized the supplies from the Pretty Country army and distributed them by their superiors.

I usually want to eat canned beef, I can only think about it.

It turned out that the old professor had also been on that battlefield.

Chu Bai pretended not to think of anything, and said: "Do you like to eat canned beef? That's not easy. I'll go to the supermarket to buy it for you in the afternoon, and you can have it in the evening."

The veteran smiled: "Your son is filial, I will eat it. However, the current canned beef does not have the same taste as before."

"And I don't eat much."

When the veteran recalled the past, he was somewhat disappointed and proud. He was proud of the fact that he had participated in that victorious war, but he might also be lost in the prime of life that he had passed away and could never return.

Chu Bai admired the old professor in front of him even more.

After eating for a while, the veteran changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you caught pirates with your own hands?"

Chu Bai nodded and briefly recounted what happened at that time.

The veteran listened with gusto: "It was captured alive! Is it really captured alive?"

Chu Bai nodded: "It didn't cost a single shot."

"Amazing!" The veteran gave a thumbs up.

"What do you want to do in the future?" the veteran asked.

Chu Bai didn't hide it, and said openly: "I plan to move closer to the best senior commander."

"Ambition." The veteran nodded, "You also have this potential! But this road is a bit long and requires a lot of training, I don't know if you can persevere!

Chu Bai didn't hesitate: "If you want to obtain the scriptures, even if it's ninety-nine or eighty-one difficult!"

The veteran nodded again and again, "Okay, okay! Young man, I like you!"

He put down his chopsticks excitedly, "Wait a while." After speaking, he walked out.

Chu Bai didn't know what his intentions were, but he told him to wait, just wait.

The veteran returned after a while and handed a booklet to Chu Bai.

Chu Bai saw that it was a very old notebook, and the notebook was also very old, as if it had been flipped through too many times, the cover had been polished, the binding glue had peeled off a lot, and the pages were very loose.

But when Chu Bai opened the first page, he was immediately attracted by the words on it, "Chen Zhiguo's Marching Notes",

Chen Zhiguo, a well-known figure in the Dragon Kingdom military circle.

In the war between the Dragon Kingdom and the Pretty Kingdom in the Jungle Kingdom, Chen Zhiguo served as a senior commander for five years.

And this diary is exactly what he recorded when he was marching.

Chu Bai was also very excited, "I never thought there would be such precious things in the reference room."

"This is not something from the reference room, it is my private collection." The veteran said.

Chu Bai was taken aback, "Old squad leader..."

The veteran sat down and said slowly: "Commander Chen is my immediate superior. I have been on the battlefield for three years, and I discuss countermeasures and marching arrangements with him every day."

"Later, I came back first after my leg was injured. Commander Chen said that he would come back when I recovered from the injury."

"But in the end, only this notebook came back."

Chen Zhiguo was indeed the top general who died in that war.

But his sacrifice brought 80% victory in the Dragon Kingdom battlefield.

Chu Bai thought, this notebook must be the most precious thing for veterans.

That's why he often took it out to look through it, so that he polished the cover.

"Old squad leader, although Commander Chen didn't come back, he left you with his most precious thought, and left one thought." Chu Bai comforted him.

The veteran nodded, "Now, I will give you this notebook."

Chu Bai was taken aback, and then declined: "Thank you, old squad leader, but I don't want such a valuable thing.

The veteran smiled: "This thing is indeed very valuable, but if it stays with me, a dying person, its value will not be fully realized at all."

"It's you, young man, if your ideal is to be the best commander, it will definitely help you."

Of course Chu Bai knew that this was a treasured book.

Even if he sells it for auction, he can earn a huge income immediately.

"Old squad leader, this..."

"Take it," the veteran said simply, "Soldiers are never mothers-in-law. You just promise me that you will never abandon your ideals!"

Chu Bai holds the notebook in his hand, which is a real good thing.

Since the veteran was willing to give, he had nothing he dared not ask for, "Old squad leader, I'll take your favor.

The veteran nodded: "Don't forget the canned beef in the afternoon."

Chu Bai: ...

This veteran had to say something inappropriate at the most sensational moment.

It seems that the veteran is not a person who likes to be sensational.

When returning to the dormitory at night, Chu Bai sandwiched this notebook among a pile of materials, he didn't want other roommates to see it.

This thing is too precious, there is absolutely no need to publicize it.

After he washed up, he sat on the bed, first spread out a larger (bcce) material, and then put the notebook in it.

In this way, everyone only thought that he was looking at the materials.

This notebook recorded in detail General Chen's thoughts, experiences, and plans on the battlefield, and Chu Bai became more and more enthusiastic the more he read it.

Li Chu and the others fell asleep one after another, and no one disturbed Chu Bai.

Chu Bai didn't stay up late to read the materials once or twice, "They didn't take it seriously either.

Chu Bai read the entire notebook in one go, and the next two pages were rare, where General Chen recorded his own feelings.

One of the passages reads:

Xiao Xu has been back for more than half a year because of his injury, and he doesn't know how his injury is. Xiao Xu is a person who loves to study and knows how to manage. I think it is very good to send him to manage the military university.

After going back, I personally put forward this suggestion to the chief.

Chu Bai thought to himself, who is this "Little Xu"?

The veteran did say today that he was injured and came back first, but isn’t the veteran’s name He Jia?

Could it be that the "Xiao Xu" mentioned by General Chen is another person who was also injured?

Suddenly he got up from the bed, a flash of light seemed to flash in his mind, and he immediately understood everything.

He wanted to go to the library reference room right away, but it was still dark outside, and it was past three o'clock in the morning.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he got up and packed his clothes.

Li Chu was woken up by his movement, glanced at the time, and asked in surprise: "Colonel, is it too early for running at this hour?"

"It's very early, you go to sleep." Chu Bai opened the door and left.

He went straight to the family compound of the school and came to the building where Xu Ruixiu lived.

But he didn't go upstairs right away.

He has calmed down now, it is four o'clock in the morning, it is inappropriate to go up and knock on the door directly.

He decided to wait downstairs.

No matter what time Xu Ruixiu wakes up, he must go downstairs for dinner and activities.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

It was getting brighter.

People began to move around in the family area, passing by where Chu Bai was sitting, people kept turning their heads to beat Huang.

Maybe everyone thinks he looks familiar, but they dare not confirm it.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" an aunt came over and asked.

Chu Bai saw that she and Xu Ruixiu lived in the same building, so he asked, "Auntie, do you know what time the old chief Xu Ruixiu usually gets up?"

"Look for Mr. Xu," the aunt pouted and shook her head. "It's hard to find him. No one knows what time he gets up. Since you're here, go upstairs and have a look."

"If you're lucky, you can open the door."

Chu Bai listened to the aunt and went upstairs directly.

But I saw a letter stuck on the doorknob, and the words "Chu Bai received" were written on the envelope.

Chu Bai was taken aback, picked up the envelope and opened it.

Chu Bai, thank you for your cigarettes and braised pork. Let's meet again when I come back.

Chu said: ...

After breakfast, Chu Bai waited until the library opened, and went to the reference room again.

Someone inside was tidying up, also an old man, but not the one Chu Bai had seen before.

"Are you here to borrow materials?" the veteran asked.

"I'm here to find the old chief," Chu Bai said.

The old soldier smiled and said: "He said that he is tired of staying here, go out to play for a few days, you can come back after a while.

Chu Bai already knew this was the case, he nodded, "Professor He, please help me tell the old chief, I will wait for him to come back to compete."

"Competition?" The veteran wondered.

Chu Bai nodded: "He won me this time, it was a bit of a trick, next time I will fight him fairly.

After Chu Bai left, the veteran smiled and shook his head, "Old Xu, you have met your opponent this time."

The next morning, near the end of class, He Shui appeared at the door of the classroom.

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, he greeted Chu Bai: "Follow me to the office."

Li Chu and others couldn't help wondering, "Why did He Bing come to see the colonel?"

"Are you going to make another promotional video?"

"The promotional video shot last time was still on the air, how could it be so fast!"

"Then what do you say it is for?"

"The colonel is a big hit, and He Bing can do anything with him."

"That is, we have come to school for so long, and He Bing has never seen us alone.

"You said, could it be the old chief Xu who appeared?"

Li Chu and the others looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

This time they guessed right. When Chu Bai walked into He Bing's office, he saw a familiar figure standing by the window.

This person is the veteran Chu Bai met in the reference room before, and he is Xu Ruixiu. .
