In a blink of an eye, the time came to January 31, 1941.
The Chinese people attach great importance to the traditional festival of the Spring Festival. Even during the war years, every household still had new clothes and put on new clothes. They also brought out the good food that they were reluctant to eat.
The people in the entire Tainan base area lived a much more stable life in the second half of 1940 than in other base areas.
The fellow villagers have their own fields and surplus grain in their hands. Slightly affluent families even save some border areas by making military shoes, military uniforms and other handmade products for the Eighth Route Army, or working in various factories.
ticket.
In the few days before the New Year, fellow villagers near each regiment's station sent the New Year's goods prepared at home to the soldiers.
The rich ones sent dried bacon and free-range chickens raised by themselves, while the poorer ones also carried a few free-range eggs in their arms that they were reluctant to eat, and they also wanted to send them to the soldiers.
The fellow villagers near the Yamawang Mountain Mountain Area are no exception. Although the land in the mountainous area is a little barren, relying on the advantage of being close to the water and building, many of the fellow villagers have worked in factories and are still very wealthy.
Faced with the irresistible enthusiasm of the villagers, Zhao Gang had no choice but to let the soldiers obey the wishes of the villagers.
As early as the day of the Little New Year, Ding Abacus and the soldiers from the logistics department began to prepare New Year's goods.
Several cooking teams on the mountain were combined into one place, killing New Year pigs, steaming steamed buns with bean paste, and making rice cakes. It was very lively up and down Yamawang Mountain.
On the Yama Mountain.
This day is not only the Chinese New Year, but also a day of great joy for Zhou Weihan. Zhou Weihan, the groom, is wearing a new military uniform, but he is extremely nervous.
"Old Wu, are you busy? Do you need my help?" Zhou Weihan felt uncomfortable and wanted to find something to do.
"Young, the groom is here, how can I let you get started today? Go back and rest quickly!" Wu, the leader of the cooking team, drove Zhou Weihan away without any explanation.
After Zhou Weihan returned to the headquarters, Zhao Gang was directing the soldiers to post happy words inside and outside the headquarters. There were more than a dozen in the hall of the headquarters, and various New Year's goods were placed on the tables.
"Hiss, don't mention it. You, the groom, are quite energetic today. Why don't you notice it usually?" Zhao Gang looked up and down.
"Tch, our boss is a handsome young man after all, it's just that you can't tell because of the weather!" Zhou Weihan immediately retorted.
"Okay, I'll give you a few compliments and you'll be able to reach heaven!"
As noon approached, the heads of the headquarters and divisions arrived.
"Zhou Weihan, congratulations!" the boss said first.
Political Commissar D looked at Zhou Weihan's restless look and said jokingly: "Why does our groom officer look a little nervous today? This situation has never happened when we are usually under heavy gunfire and commanding thousands of troops!"
"Haha, this is the first time for a young man to get on the sedan chair. It's normal, normal!" the deputy chief of staff said with a smile.
Zhou Weihan also didn't expect that the head of the headquarters and division would show up so favorably and bring a lot of things.
"Chief, you're just here, why do you bring anything with you?"
"Nonsense, can we come to your big day empty-handed?" After the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, he pointed at the gifts in front of him.
"These two piles are sent by comrades on behalf of the headquarters and division headquarters. These two piles of foreign stuff are sent separately by the logistics department of the headquarters and the division headquarters. Lao Yang and Zhang Wanhe specially selected them in order to thank you for your previous support.
of!"
Zhou Weihan looked around and saw that there were quite a lot of good things including toilet water, Rendan, tiger balm, and cream.
In fact, the Tainan Military Region Logistics Department does not lack this. These gadgets are must-haves for the goods store, but they are not Zhou Weihan's personal belongings.
Yesterday, when Zhou Weiguo escorted Wen Qiang to Yamawang Mountain, he deliberately bought a pharmacies in Anyang City that had been destroyed by the Japanese and bought a tube of old wild ginseng, saying it was to replenish Zhou Weihan's health.
"Chief, thank the comrades in the Logistics Department for me!" Zhou Weihan said.
"It's already noon, when will it start? I, the witness, am waiting to appear!" Political Commissar D said.
"We haven't set a specific time yet. We'll start as soon as everyone is here and things are almost ready!" After Zhou Weihan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Gang.
"It's almost done, let's pick up the bride?" Zhao Gang said.
"Let's go, pick up the bride!" Li Yunshan used a walking stick and joined in the fun at the side.
A group of people headed toward Mr. Zheng's residence in Houshan in a mighty manner.
Zhou Weihan's relatives were not around, so Zhou Weihan treated Mr. Zheng as a master and apprentice, so he decided to place Wen Qiang's natal family at Mr. Zheng's residence.
When the group arrived, Mr. Zheng was sitting on the stone bench in the yard, obviously waiting for a long time.
"coming?"
"Yes, teacher!"
"Go, the bride is impatient. The girls have asked several times when the groom will come!"
After hearing this, Zhou Weihan did not hesitate and went directly to knock on the door.
"Who?"
"I!"
"who are you?"
"I am the groom, please open the door!"
"You said you are the groom's officer, so you are!"
This time Zhou Weihan heard clearly who was speaking inside, and immediately whispered: "Zhang Yuanlan, why are you like this? Don't forget who gave you the opportunity to match you and Lao Zhao. Your Lao Zhao is still in my hands!"
This was really helpful. Zhou Weihan had just finished speaking.
With a creak, the door opened.
Zhou Weihan saw the door open and wanted to go in, but was stopped by Zhang Yuanlan.
"Do you understand the rules? I want to get in without paying for some red envelopes. You are so beautiful!"
"Old Zhao, where are the red envelopes? Hurry up!" Zhou Weihan was eager to see the bride and urged. After hearing this, Zhao Gang took out a stack of red envelopes that had been prepared long ago.
Zhou Weihan took advantage of Zhang Yuanlan's opportunity to receive the red envelope and broke into the house directly.
The people outside cheered: "Bride, bride, bride!"
Inside the house, Zhou Weihan saw Wen Qiang, who was wearing a red cheongsam and a red cloth covering her head, and said nervously: "Wen Qiang, come with me!"
"Yes!" Wen Qiang responded softly, stretching out her white and tender hands.
Zhou Weihan held Wen Qiang's little hand and carefully helped her out of the house.
"The new wife is getting married!" everyone shouted.
The group of people returned to the hall of the headquarters. Taking advantage of the break to welcome the bride, the cooking class prepared meals. Chicken, duck, and fish were all available. Coupled with the mountain products stored earlier, the meals on the table were extremely rich.
Already.
The next process is simple.
Mr. Zheng, as Zhou Weihan's elder, and Wen Qiang, as Wen Qiang's eldest brother, sat on the upper hand.
Zhou Weihan and Wen Qiang toasted the newlyweds with a glass of wine, and then political commissar D read out the marriage certificate.
"All of us here would like to toast the two newlyweds and wish them to have a son soon and add strength to the revolutionary cause as soon as possible!"
