Four hundred and thirteen. A Smile and Enmity (2) Finale
Lin Yan scolded Jiang Hailong: "Brigadier, you are too insidious!"
"It is indeed insidious, even brothers plot against each other!" Li Mingfu sang to her husband.
Jiang Hailong pointed at the laughing crowd and said: "You guys are so unreasonable. No one can speak up for me. Back then, I racked my brains all for our independent brigade!" He then shouted at Li Ming: "You don't know.
You're a bad guy, you get an advantage and act like a good boy. If it weren't for me, would you be able to marry the blossoming Director Lin? Don't put on a bad face, as if you have been greatly wronged. The one who wants to be wronged is Director Lin, not you.
.”
Lin Yan immediately glared at Li Ming and asked in an aggressive tone: "Are you really forced to marry me? You have never liked me..."
Li Ming looked embarrassed and dumbfounded, and everyone laughed again.
Suddenly the door was knocked open, and a beautiful figure rushed into Jiang Hailong's arms as fast as the wind, burying his head in his arms and crying loudly.
Everyone couldn't see clearly the face of the visitor, and they all looked at Jiang Hailong with strange eyes.
Jiang Hailong looked innocent. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only pat his head in his arms to comfort him: "Tell me if you have anything to say, don't cry." He accidentally touched a familiar scar on the back of the neck of the person in his arms.
, asked tentatively: "Sister Chunhua?"
"Thank you for remembering me, I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago!" Chunhua raised her head, with tears streaming down her pretty face. She recently suffered from inflammation from an old injury and was recuperating in the Veterans Hospital. Zhou Dashan didn't want to inform her, knowing that she was worried about the brigade.
He was so infatuated that he was afraid that Bai Lu would be embarrassed when he saw her. Then he thought that Chun Hua might make trouble for him for the rest of his life, so he finally called her.
Jiang Hailong said with a smile: "You are my little sister. If I forget, others will not forget you."
"Who believes you? You swore to take care of me for the rest of your life, but you ran away without being seen for decades. It's a lie!" Chunhua said angrily, her eyes full of resentment.
Alice looked at Chunhua in surprise and asked her husband: "Isn't this beautiful woman another lover of Dean Jiang?"
Wu Qiang smiled and explained in a low voice: "The master saved her twice, once from the clutches of the Japanese army, and once in the hospital fire. Her feelings for the master are naturally extraordinary, but the master only treats her as his little sister. She is wishful thinking."
.Master is the most charming man in our army, just like me!"
Li Ming, a graduate of the Department of Foreign Languages at Dongda University, heard their conversation in English and glanced at Wu Qiang with disdain, "It's such a shameless talk. I don't even dare to praise Haikou like this."
When Jiang Hailong asked about her old injury, Chunhua immediately said: "It's not good at all. I'm going to the United States and let you treat it yourself!"
"I can spend money to ensure that you go to the best hospital in China for treatment. It is difficult to get a visa to the United States." Jiang Hailong advised politely.
"I don't know what a visa is. With your skills, I can definitely get it. If that doesn't work, you can let me sneak across like you did back then!" Chunhua said stubbornly.
Jiang Hailong couldn't laugh or cry. He felt that she was still as unreasonable in front of him as before, so he had to look at Bai Lu for help.
Chunhua immediately cleverly ran to Bai Lian and begged with tears in her eyes: "Sister Bai, just agree that I go with you. I am over forty and old Zhuhuang has no other ideas. I will go over to help you with housework and chores without any worries."
Everything is fine.”
Bai Lu asked seriously: "Have you been waiting for him before you got married?"
Jiang Hailong quickly interrupted: "How could you ask that?"
"Shut up! I didn't ask you." Bai Lu glared at him and said to Chunhua, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Chunhua blushed so much that she lowered her head in acquiescence. Seeing that Bailu didn't say anything for a long time, she raised her head again and burst into tears.
Bai Lu's heart softened and she sighed: "Don't cry, I don't have any objection. Anyway, you are not alone."
Chunhua burst into tears and laughed, resting her head on her shoulder and moaning like a mosquito: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind..."
Bai Lu said with a straight face: "I am not the only sister-in-law of yours, you must be mentally prepared!"
Jiang Hailong's face was feverish and he couldn't stand listening anymore. He said to Zhou Dashan: "Serve the food. It's rare for brothers to get together. Let's get drunk today!"
Zhou Dashan asked: "Principal Xie of the military academy has been waiting outside the gate for a long time. Can we ask him to come in?"
Jiang Hailong said: "Who is thanking the principal? As long as you are a friend of Huxie Village, of course you can invite him in for a drink."
Zhou Dashan explained: "You know Commander Xie, the former friendly force in Yimeng Mountain. He said that you and the Independence Brigade were life-saving to his regiment. We fought with you to destroy the Japanese poison bomb unit. How many times will we know that you are still alive?"
This time I came here to inquire about your news. During the difficult period of the country in the 1960s, I took the initiative to send food relief to our village, saying that I came to repay my kindness. During the Liberation War, Commander Li Tiejun died while attacking their division headquarters, and Commander Xie was captured and served as
I understand the People's Liberation Army, and now he is the principal of the military academy. Whenever he comes here and meets Li Hong and Yao Erjin, he is always scolded. I almost got beaten if I didn't break up the fight. They blamed his troops for killing the Tiezhu brothers. He got my phone call yesterday.
So I drove over all night and heard that Li Hong and Yao Erjin were also here, so I stayed outside and didn't dare to come in."
Jiang Hailong strode out without saying a word. After a while, he took Principal Xie's hand into the restaurant and said to Li Hong and Yao Erjin, who had bulging eyebrows: "During the civil war, both armies were their own masters. Guns and artillery had no eyes, so casualties were inevitable. You guys
Don’t hold grudges anymore. Principal Xie was our friend during the Anti-Japanese War and now. Today we are old comrades in arms and happily meet each other. Let’s smile and forget our grudges. Let’s all sit down and drink!”
The dishes were served one after another, and the restaurant was full of clinking glasses and wine fights.
Jiang Hailong and Li Ming went to each table to toast. Seeing that the two old officers could call out their names, all the disabled comrades in Huxi Village had red eyes and tears fell into their wine glasses.
"Why don't you see Liu Heizi and Er Huzi?" Jiang Hailong asked.
"They are stationed in southern Xinjiang. The troops have entered the first level of alert. There may be major military operations recently." There was a whisper from inside.
"I was shocked. I was worried that they would be glorious." Jiang Hailong breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Hong and Yao Erjin finally figured it out, held the wine and said to Principal Xie: "After drinking this bowl of wine, brothers will not hold grudges and will be friends from now on!"
The three old soldiers drank the strong liquor in one gulp.
After drinking for a few rounds, Wu Qiang raised his tongue and asked Bai Lu: "Where is the master?"
Bai Lu replied: "He and Li Ming quietly went to worship at the tomb of the martyrs on the mountain, not wanting to be disturbed."
In front of the martyrs' tombs, Jiang Hailong and Li Ming sprinkled two bottles of Maotai on the ground and bowed three times in silence.
On the way down the mountain, Jiang Hailong asked with excitement: "Xiucai, do you remember that Sichuan poets were included in the only masterpieces of Tang poetry and Song poetry?"
Li Ming nodded in reply.
The two of them immediately chanted into the wind:
the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.
Right or wrong, success or failure turns to nothing, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset turns red several times.
The white-haired fisherman on the Nagisa River is used to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze.
We are happy to meet each other over a pot of wine, and many things in ancient and modern times can be discussed with laughter.
