Chapter 652: The Tiger Regiment, the Whole Regiment Attacks
The atmosphere at the wine table was high.
People kept coming over to toast the group leader.
Everyone expressed their best expectations and wishes for the future of the group leader.
But as I spoke, tears fell one by one.
Others hugged the group leader and cried loudly, unable to pull him away.
Zhou Zhongyi had been holding back his tears, and while toasting with them, he comforted them: "Why are you crying? Put away all those cat urines. I was transferred, not gone!"
"There is no banquet that lasts forever. When fate comes, we are together. When fate comes, we have to part ways!"
Everyone cried even more sadly.
We all know that there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever, but at this moment, no one can accept it.
Many people here were personally led by the group leader.
Especially Zhang Jiantao, a group of key members of the regiment, who have been serving as soldiers under Zhou Zhongyi since they first joined the army.
After so many years of getting along, the relationship has long been no longer a simple one of superior and subordinate. Although there is no blood relationship, it is better than a close relative.
The regiment leader is like their good big brother and their guide on the road to becoming a soldier.
Now, my good big brother is leaving.
Although they are still in the army, they are indeed far apart from now on. How can they feel uncomfortable?
That night, I don’t know how much wine I drank, and many people were drunk.
But today Zhou Zhongyi's drinking capacity is surprisingly good.
One cup after another, my head is always clear.
The farewell party ended quickly, and everyone was carried back reluctantly.
Some have even started to talk nonsense: "Captain, don't leave. Bring your sister-in-law here, and we will help you take care of them!"
Zhou Zhongyi asked someone to send them back and scolded them with a smile: "Look at you guys, take care of yourselves first, one by one!"
After a while, everyone was sent away.
The cooking team cleaned the table and left two lamps when they left.
The cafeteria suddenly became very dark. Glancing at the empty cafeteria, Zhou Zhongyi looked in a daze.
At this moment, he could no longer suppress his emotions, lay down on the table, and burst into tears.
After crying for a while, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
Zhou Zhongyi knew who it was without looking up.
He slowly raised his head and wiped his tears: "Give me a cigarette."
Lin Hui lit one and handed it to him.
Zhou Zhongyi took a deep breath and raised his head.
I was surprised to see a pack of soft Chinese food in front of me.
Lin Hui gave him the cigarette and said with a smile: "I always took advantage of you before, but this time I let you take advantage."
Zhou Zhongyi burst out laughing and put away his cigarette.
The two sat down next to each other and puffed away together.
Every time they finished smoking one cigarette, Lin Hui would take out two more, and then give him the remaining pack.
Soon, both Zhou Zhongyi's pockets were filled.
Lin Hui exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at him: "Don't worry in the group, you will be the same if you leave."
"Everyone will always remember you and remember that you are our group leader. No matter how many years or how many people change, the group will always remember your name."
"No matter where you go in the future, you will always be with us!"
Zhou Zhongyi nodded calmly and said nothing.
He doesn't have to believe what others say.
But as long as Lin Hui agrees, he can rest assured.
Lin Hui continued minding his own business: "When I went back, I took good care of my sister-in-law. After I arrived at the Armed Forces, the workload was very light. I only trained a few times a month. When I had nothing to do, I spent more time with my sister-in-law at home, helping him take care of the baby.
Whatever you owe your children, you will make up for it."
"I'll help you stay here, waiting for your son to grow up and let him take over your class."
"I will let him put on the military uniform, tell him your story, and let him take over your baton and become a better soldier than you!"
He emphasized: "Of course, you have to let him join the army voluntarily, but you can't force him to do something he doesn't like. He has to like being a soldier."
Zhou Zhongyi's eyes were red and his heart felt warm: "After we go back, your sister-in-law wants to open a small supermarket. When I have some free time, I can help her take care of it."
Lin Hui was surprised: "My sister-in-law is like this, but she still runs a small supermarket. Isn't it too tiring?"
Zhou Zhongyi smiled and looked at the darkness outside: "You don't know your sister-in-law. She is a strong woman. Even if her legs are gone, she will not let herself be idle. Over the years, if she has a softer personality, she will not
Stick to it until now.”
"But marrying someone like me is really bad luck for eight lifetimes."
"Next, I will spend the rest of my life making amends and fulfilling her wishes."
Lin Hui nodded silently.
Although he has never met his sister-in-law, he can still imagine what kind of person his sister-in-law is.
A woman whose husband has been serving as a soldier thousands of miles away for many years to protect the country.
She not only has to take care of her parents-in-law, but also has to take care of her own parents, raise children, and be busy with work.
He even secretly took a second job without telling the leader to supplement his family income.
If I didn't have a strong personality, I probably wouldn't be able to bear it long ago.
She has been able to persevere all the way until now, partly because of pride and pride in the leader's military status, and also because of her selfless love for the leader.
Otherwise, every military wife is great?
Lin Hui asked with concern: "It costs a lot to open a small supermarket. Do you have enough money?"
"That's enough." Zhou Zhongyi smiled heartily: "I have saved a lot of money over the years. As a soldier, I have no place to spend money. All my food, clothing and supplies are in the army."
"Your sister-in-law lives frugally and manages the household. She has saved some money over the years."
"We have the start-up capital and she is very capable. I just need to help her get started."
Lin Hui didn't say anything more.
My sister-in-law is definitely not able to go out and find a job in her current state.
Opening a small supermarket is indeed a good choice.
The team leader helps with the purchase and loading of goods, while my sister-in-law is in a wheelchair and is responsible for cashiering at the front.
Under the dim light, the two of them just sat and smoked in silence, without anyone speaking.
It wasn't until he finished smoking a pack of cigarettes that Lin Hui stood up, looked at him and said, "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Zhou Zhongyi paused, did not refuse, just nodded: "Okay."
Lin Hui glanced at him, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Zhou Zhongyi sat alone in the cafeteria for a long time.
It wasn't until late at night that he slowly stood up.
He looked around, at the familiar canteen environment, and at the seat where he had just sat, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Immediately, all this existed only in memories.
Zhou Zhongyi sighed helplessly and finally turned around and left.
…
Late at night.
The entrance to the headquarters.
Wang Yixue hurriedly walked out of it, and saw Lin Hui standing at the door from a distance, walking around anxiously.
She happened to be here for business these two days and stayed in the headquarters guest house: "What happened in the middle of the night? You called me here in a hurry?"
Lin Hui looked at her and asked, "You have been in the army for so long, so you should know a lot of people, right?"
Wang Yixue was stunned for a moment: "I know some of them, what's the matter?"
Lin Hui said excitedly: "It's good to know someone, then you must do me a favor!"
Wang Yixue was surprised: "What can I do for you? No, it's so late at night. Is it so urgent? Why can't we talk about something tomorrow?"
"It's too late!" Lin Hui's face was full of anxiety: "I beg you, just help me this time!"
After knowing each other for so long, Wang Yixue has never seen Lin Hui so eager to ask for help.
I have never seen him look so anxious and panicked.
Knowing that he had something serious to ask of her, Wang Yixue's face became serious: "You tell me, what kind of help you want, I will help you to the end!"
