When Li Zhen, Xi Changzhen, Zhang Zhidong and others returned to Chengdu, the New Year had already passed. After Li Zhen held a banquet in the military camp in Calcutta, the group set off to leave because it was winter and the weather was cold and The further you go to the east of India, the hills and mountains gradually increase, and there are trails and mountain roads everywhere. Coupled with the occasional ice and snow weather, the journey is very slow. It is already February when we return to Chengdu.
In the military camp, Liu Jintang's office.
Liu Jintang looked at Li Zhen, Zhang Zhidong and others with excitement on his face, and said with a smile: "President, you come back at the right time. Two days later will be a good day for me to get married. You will come back just in time to officiate the wedding. "
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked: "You are getting married so soon."
Liu Jintang rolled his eyes and said resentfully: "The president has been married for nearly ten years, and his son and daughter have grown up. Unfortunately, I am still alone, and it took a lot of effort to get it." I think it’s extremely unfair that you use the word ‘fast’ when it comes to the opportunity to get married.”
Li Zhen laughed loudly and said: "I'm not saying that you shouldn't get married so early, you should have gotten married a long time ago, but I think it's a bit sudden. When I left Chengdu last year, you were still a bachelor without even a shadow. None. This time when I came back, I suddenly met a woman and rushed to get married."
Liu Jintang had a look of embarrassment on his face, which was completely different from his usual decisiveness in killing.
Ding Ruchang said: "President, you don't know that Commander Liu's wife is a delicate little nurse from a military hospital. She is eighteen years old. She is as beautiful as a flower and is more delicate than a flower."
"Ding Ruchang, your hands are jealous."
Liu Jintang snorted, looking proud.
Ding Ruchang said: "I have a good wife at home, so why should I be jealous?"
Liu Jintang curled his lips and said, "Who doesn't know that your wife at home is a tigress? You are always afraid of women."
Ding Ruchang looked contemptuous and said, "I respect Yuan Feng."
Seeing the two arguing, Shi Dakai was amused and interrupted, "President, Commander Liu Jintang has married a lovely wife this time. When he returns home, he will probably hold his lovely wife in the palm of his hand for fear of being thrown."
He also made a joke, making Liu Jintang even more embarrassed.
Li Zhen looked at Xi Changzhen and Zhang Zhidong, and said with a smile: "Since Liu Jintang is getting married, we will stay in Sichuan for two days and wait for Commander Liu to get married before returning to Beijing."
Zhang Zhidong smiled and nodded with admiration in his eyes.
Liu Jintang is younger than him, having already gotten married when he was only 20 years old, while he is already in his early twenties and is still a bachelor. Of course, this is why Zhang Zhidong has been running around and spending most of his time in the army. He didn't take a wife.
Li Zhen looked at Shi Dakai and asked: "Vice Premier Shi, how is the land reform going?"
Shi Dakai looked happy and replied loudly: "The overall situation of land reform is going very smoothly. Although there are occasional small problems, it is progressing in an orderly manner. The entire Sichuan Province is centered on Chengdu and continues to radiate to the surrounding areas. Most of the The region has made good progress, and with Sichuan as a pilot, it will be much easier to promote it across the country."
"This is a major matter that concerns the people and cannot be taken lightly."
Li Zhen nodded, quite satisfied.
…
Two days flew by in a flash.
This day is a great day for Liu Jintang to get married. On this day, the sun is shining brightly and the wind is gentle. Liu Jintang’s new house in Chengdu is filled with music and the sounds of celebrations. As the commander of the Chengdu Military Region, Liu Jintang’s status is higher than that of a province. The wedding ceremony was no less impressive. Many officials came, ranging from the governor of the province, He Jun, to the mayor, Ding Ruchang, and officials from Chengdu City. They all came to attend Liu Jintang's wedding, which was very lively.
In the lobby, the groom and the bride began to worship heaven and earth under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.
After the etiquette was completed, the groom and the bride entered the bridal chamber, and the bride stayed in the room waiting. The groom Liu Jintang, wearing bright red clothes and a groom's official hat, came to the hall with great joy to toast Li Zhen, Shi Dakai and others.
Li Zhen seized the opportunity and said with a smile: "Liu Jintang, today is your wedding day, especially since you have married a daughter-in-law who is more beautiful than a flower. This deserves to be celebrated."
As he spoke, Li Zhen filled the cup with wine on the wine table and handed it to Liu Jintang.
There is a big difference between the wine glass on the wine table and the wine glass in Liu Jintang's hand. The glass on the wine table is enough for one or two half of the liquor, but the one in Liu Jintang's hand is a small cup, not even one-third of the big cup. He drank dozens of A glass of wine was not a problem. Li Zhen was coaxing, Shi Dakai, He Jun, Zhang Zhidong and others were cheering and shouting at Liu Jintang to change cups to toast.
After all, Liu Jintang was young, and Liu Jintang drank a lot. He glanced at the people around him, thought for a moment, and thought that he would be fine after paying all the respects, so he said: "Since the president has spoken, I will refuse. Okay, change a cup."
"readily."
Li Zhen laughed, held the wine glass and said, "Here, take a sip."
He picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of white wine.
Liu Jintang did not show any weakness. He held the wine glass and drank a glass of white wine. Liu Jintang's face was not red and he was out of breath. He thought he had solved Li Zhen's toast, so he was ready to toast the next person. Who knows, before he took a step forward, But he was grabbed by Li Zhen, who filled up another glass of wine and said with a smile: "Liu Jintang, don't worry, what you just drank was the glass of wine you toasted to me. Where are my brothers and sisters, you put your own wine After drinking, you have to toast your sister-in-law on her behalf, you say, yes or no."
Liu Jintang rolled his eyes, thinking you are really a thief.
He looked at the bright eyes around him and thought that he was in trouble this time.
How sad.
Liu Jintang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll drink."
At that moment, Liu Jintang had another drink with Li Zhen. After two glasses of wine, Liu Jintang had already drank nearly three ounces of white wine in Li Zhen's place. Next, Liu Jintang met Shi Dakai, He Jun, Zhang Zhidong, Ding Ruchang, and Xi Changzhen. The others, all of whom were thieves, easily forced Liu Jintang into a corner and made Liu Jintang drink two drinks in a row.
When the most important table came down, Liu Jintang felt that he was dizzy from drinking.
The scene in his eyes began to spin.
Liu Jintang looked back at Li Zhen and others with difficulty, and said in her heart, some of you are not married yet, and some of you are married but your children will have to be married in the future. I failed this time. Next time you invite me to a banquet. When the time comes, you will definitely be tricked.
"Snapped,."
Liu Jintang couldn't bear it anymore and fell down directly in the lobby.
This fall scared Li Zhen and others.
A group of people rushed to Liu Jintang's side, fearing that something would happen to Liu Jintang. After careful inspection, they found that Liu Jintang was just drunk and fell asleep, and the sound of Liu Jintang's snoring could be heard. Li Zhen, Zhang Zhidong and others were not intentional. He laughed heartily. Liu Jintang was in trouble this time. He drank and fell asleep on the day of his wedding. This was a fun thing in his life.
Liu Jintang was carried to the backyard, while Li Zhen, Zhang Zhidong, Xi Changzhen and others were still drinking and chatting in the lobby.
Of course this great day must be celebrated properly.
