Chapter 634 Engagement
Hu Bin took Li Wanru to the commander's side. After meeting the commander and the others, the female family in the room heard the movement outside and came out.
After Hu Bin finished introducing them, Hu Bin's mother Wang Xiuying took Li Wanru's hand and went inside. Hu Bin wanted to help cook outside. Today it was their men who worked, and the women didn't care about the matter.
After dinner, Hu Bin and the others sat in the living room and chatted for a while, and then the commander called them to the study. After Hu Bin arrived at the study, he did not dare to sit in front. Although his position was higher than theirs, those people were their uncles and uncles, so Hu Bin was very conscious...
"Xiaobin is going to fight abroad this time. Wang Zhixian and Li Dalong, you two may have to follow us to protect Xiaobin's safety!" After the commander gave everyone a cigarette, he spoke.
"Is it settled?" Liu Xiangui asked as he looked at the commander.
"We have decided, we have no choice but to let Hu Bin go. Now is not the time to fight a civil war, so we can only wait. Xiaobin, when you go abroad to fight, you must pay attention to safety. As for the same sentence, you must come back alive. As long as you come back alive, you must save your life under what circumstances!" The commander nodded and looked at Hu Bin and said.
Hu Bin nodded when he heard this!
"I know you kid, when you fight, you won't obey our orders, but this time you really have to obey the orders, and you don't think about it. Now there are so many things in Yan'an that you have to do. In addition, you also think about your family and Wanru, don't take your life to bet easily. No matter if you win or lose, you will lose. Do you understand?" The commander looked at Hu Bin and said.
"I understand!" Hu Bin nodded.
"Well, just understand. You guys came out of my hometown with me back then, and there were only a few left. I hope you all can live. When you get old, we old brothers can still walk around and chat together!" The commander said to the other people.
"Hehe, it's OK!" Li Dalong said with a smile.
"Definitely, we have so many troops now, which is much stronger than at the beginning!" Hu Changgui nodded and said.
"Well, our hope is getting bigger and bigger now. If Xiaobin didn't want to go abroad to fight, after the New Year, it is estimated that we will start a counterattack in a few months. But now we must defend the south of the country and cannot lose our territory anymore. We have already lost enough territory!" The commander said, and the others nodded.
"Come on, let me tell you about your situation in the army over the past period of time, let me listen!" The commander said as he looked at the people with a smile.
Then, about ten of them began to report the current situation to the commander. These people were basically brigade-level division-level cadres, and the troops under them had at least 30,000. The most was Hu Changgui, with more than 70,000 troops under them. Of course, Hu Bin didn't need to be counted here, and Hu Bin didn't need to report at all. The commander was very clear about Hu Bin's situation.
When he came out of the commander's house, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. Hu Bin sent Li Wanru home. Today, Li Wanru met the commander and Hu Bin's parents. He was always in a very excited state, especially Hu Bin's mother. He held Li Wanru's hand for most of the night, which made Li Wanru feel very good. He also introduced her to those female relatives.
Although Hu Bin's mother has a low level of education from her words and deeds, it cannot be concealed that she is a very reasonable and kind old mother.
The two of them kept chatting. After Li Wanru returned home, Hu Bin sat at his house for a few minutes before going back. It was getting late now. When he got home, Hu Bin went to his parents' side first and told them about what Li Wanru's parents asked to meet.
Hu Changgui immediately agreed as soon as he heard this, and asked Hu Bin to inform him now that they would come to meet at noon tomorrow. Hu Bin had no choice but to go to Li Wanru's house again and told them about this. Fortunately, Li Zhen and the others were not asleep yet, and they were still asking Li Wanru what to do tonight.
After learning that Li Wanru met Hu Bin's parents and some of Hu Bin's parents' friends, Li Zhen felt much more relieved. Hu Bin came here to explain that his parents would come to visit him tomorrow, and Li Zhen and the others were even happier.
Early the next morning, Li Zhen went out to buy vegetables, and Xie Bingyun also started to be busy in the kitchen. At 10:30, Hu Bin came with his parents and gifts.
When Li Zhen and the others saw it, they immediately came out to greet them. The firecrackers started to lit up, and then Li Wanru and Hu Bin began to introduce both sides to them.
At this moment, a pair of convoys parked at the door of Li Wanru's house. Hu Changgui and others heard the sound of cars outside and looked outside the yard. At this time, a familiar figure walked out of the car.
"It's the commander!" Hu Changgui saw it and immediately met him. Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, thinking in his heart why the commander came here.
"Changgui, you don't call me if you come to propose marriage. Fortunately, I heard Zhenguo say that, otherwise I would have missed it. I am a matchmaker!" said the commander with a smile.
"Dad, I am!" Zhenguo said behind.
"Same!" the commander said with a smile.
"Commander, are you?" Li Zhen came over and said excitedly. They admired the commander very much. They were very excited to see the commander coming over.
"I'll come here to propose marriage!" the commander said with a smile.
"Ah, no, no, I have only one daughter in my family, and I'm talking to civil and military officials. This matter is decided!" Li Zhen saw Zhenguo next to him, thinking that the commander was going to propose marriage to Zhenguo. He had met Zhenguo in school, but he really didn't expect that Zhenguo was the commander's son.
"Haha, I won't be snatching my daughter from you. I'm here, yes, I'm going to propose marriage to civil and military officials!" The commander said with a laugh.
"Dad, let the commander and the others enter the house, it's cold outside!" Li Wanru said behind.
"Oh, yes, yes, hurry up, come in, enter the house, Bingyun, go and get the firecrackers, I want to ignite a big firecracker!" At this time, Li Zhen woke up and shouted directly.
"Hey!" Xie Bingyun was also very excited. She did not expect that today, the commander came over to meet his prospective son-in-law's parents. Soon, the group arrived inside the house.
"Mr. Li, you and Mr. Xie are both pillars of our Yan'an education and a good daughter. Today, I heard that they were coming, so I followed me. I came here, and there are two meanings. One is that I will be the matchmaker, and the second is that there is something I want to explain to you personally." The commander said to Li Zhen and his wife with a smile.
"Ah!" Li Zhen and his wife were all confused now. When they heard the commander say this, they became even more confused.
"Xiaobin, tell me your situation. If your father-in-law can't understand you, I'll give them an explanation!" The commander-in-chief said with a smile and patted Hu Bin's shoulder.
"Oh, okay!" Hu Bin nodded when he heard this, and then stood up.
"Uncle, my real name is not Wang Wenwu, my name is Hu Bin. This is my father, Hu Changgui. My name is Wang Wenwu, because I deliberately gave myself such a name for my confidentiality!" Hu Bin said while standing there.
"Wait, wait, you just said, what are your name? Hu Bin? Is it the Hu Bin in the newspaper?" Li Zhen immediately stopped Hu Bin from continuing.
"It seems!" Hu Bin could only nod when he heard it.
"You, you, you!" Li Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Hu Bin is not just a commander of the 99th Army, but also a person who supports them circulated among scientific workers and educators. Several schools in Yan'an and several universities in Hubei were all built by Hu Bin personally. Many of Hu Bin's deeds in the arsenal have been spread.
"Uncle and aunt, I really didn't hide it on purpose. Now many Japanese want to kill me. If they know that I'm in school, it will not only be unfavorable to me, but the entire school will be targeted by Japanese. Please understand it!" Hu Bin saw Li Zhen not speaking and thought he was angry, so he immediately explained.
"Yes, Mr. Li and Mr. Xie, this is what I requested. You know that Hu Bin is very important to our Yan'an. He is also the commander of the 99th Army. He must keep it confidential after leaving his own troops. Please forgive me!" The commander nodded and explained to Li Zhen.
"Well, Brother Li, this matter is wrong. Please forgive me. We come here today and hope that my elder brother and sister-in-law can forgive Xiaobin. After all, he and Wanru are still in love with each other!" Hu Changgui also said from the side.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm a little confused. By the way, have you known it long ago?" Li Zhen looked at his daughter Li Wanru and said. When Li Wanru heard it, he nodded shyly.
"Okay, you damn girl, you're so strict, but your eyes are really good!" Li Zhen laughed at this point.
"Dad~" Li Wanru immediately felt embarrassed to lie on her mother's back.
"Oh, civil and military, no, call me!"
"Just call me Xiaobin, they all call me that!" Hu Bin said immediately.
"Well, Xiaobin, you really know how to hide it. We initially wondered if there was any problem with your identity and didn't dare to reveal it. I didn't expect that you were the commander of the 99th Army!" Li Zhen looked at Hu Bin and said with a smile.
"Uncle and aunt are sorry, I didn't mean to hide it!" Hu Bin said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I can understand that you are the hero of our country, the real big hero. I am very happy and proud of my daughter being able to marry a big hero!" Li Zhen said while patting Hu Bin's shoulder.
"Thank you uncle, thank you!" Hu Bin immediately bowed to Li Zhen and started talking.
"Come on, sit down, sit down, haha, in-laws, just say it's good. My Xiaobin is still good, and it's not bad for education. I think you know that you have very strong abilities. However, Xiaobin, if you want to be nice to Wanru in the future, I won't agree. I'm a matchmaker!" The commander said with a smile as he looked at the people of them, and Li Zhen was also very surprised. Why did the commander call his own in-laws? (To be continued.)
