An Yi, who was so distraught, unknowingly came to the familiar quiet street. When he stood in front of the door and looked up, he realized that he had arrived in front of Gong Qian's house. He was suddenly confused and at a loss as to what to do.
An Yi didn't know why he came here, so he hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly, and turned around to leave. He didn't want Gong Qian to see his frustrated and defeated look.
"Xiao Yi? Oh, it's really you. I haven't come to see your sister for so many days. Really, come on, come and sit in the room. I just came back from shopping for groceries. If I hadn't been a step later, I wouldn't have seen you until the year of the monkey.
What about you... Come in! What are you doing standing there? Your sister just took a boat to Shanghai yesterday and left a letter for me to deliver to you. Your sister said that you will definitely come to the house in the next few days, come in..."
As Wu Ma spoke, she took out the key and opened the courtyard door, picked up the basket and took An Yi's hand and walked in.
After sitting down for a while, Wu's mother brought a letter and a watch box. An Yi felt warm in his heart when he saw the familiar watch box. He opened the envelope and took out the letter and read it carefully. The two clean letters were filled with soft and beautiful fonts.
The deep affection and concern overflowing in the plain words made An Yi, who was already sad, couldn't help but shed tears.
Wu Ma was startled when she saw An Yi crying. After thinking for a while, she gently put the teacup on the table without disturbing the handsome young man who was crying like a wronged child.
An Yi wiped away her tears and looked up at the sky. Only then did she realize the existence of Wu Ma. She looked around awkwardly and found Wu Ma washing vegetables in the yard. An Yi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and opened the door.
He took out a silver watch from the watch box that was exactly the same as the one he gave to Hu and Hu. He put it on his hand and tried it on, and it just fit. He sighed slightly, put the letter away, folded it, and put it in his pocket. He walked over to Wu's mother and helped her wash the vegetables.
:
"Wu Ma, we will go north to fight soon. My sister is also busy. You have to take care of yourself at home. You can move back to Zhejiang when we capture Zhejiang. If you are happy, you can still live with my sister in Nanjing. I will
I often visit you."
"Yo! Haha... You kid has a filial heart, but the war is not as easy as you said. It will be good if we can capture Nanjing within three to five years. Don't worry, be careful when you get to the front line." Mother Wu warned.
An Yi laughed: "Wu Ma, let me make a bet with you. If we capture Nanjing before next year, you have to cook Dongpo pork for me again and again. If I lose, I will give you a slap on the back every time I come to see you."
I won’t stop until you tell me to stop, how about that?”
Wu Ma laughed loudly and agreed happily. An Yi found an excuse to run away after washing the dishes, which made Wu Ma, who chased after him and left him to eat, sighed for a long time while holding on to the door frame.
An Yi spent an hour cleaning up his money in the bank, and stopped by "Lulin" Commercial Bank to talk secretly with Hans and Lauter for more than two hours. He told the truth about his identity without any concealment, and gained a surprising
Hans and Lauter's respectful understanding.
An Yi politely declined Hans's suggestion to have dinner together, rushed to the fishing pier under construction and asked two Lincun men to inform A Biao to see him. Then he walked to the alley of the Silk Clothing Store and forced Lao Dao to close the stall without explanation, while the two quarreled.
, while walking back to his home on Renji Road.
At dinner time, An Yi was giving the foreign toys he bought to Er Mao. A Biao, who was now different from the past, rushed to the Liuyuan with two rich and powerful bodyguards. As soon as he entered the door, An Yi ordered him to drive away the bodyguards. Then the two
The man and the old Taoist drank wine, ate and chatted together until three o'clock in the morning the next day.
After seeing A Biao off and letting go of all his worries, An Yi felt more tired than ever before and lay straight on the mahogany couch in the front hall and fell into a deep sleep.
The farewell was imminent, and the inseparable Lao Dao changed his usual calm and calm demeanor. He got up twice and walked to the sleeping An Yi. He bent down and looked at the tears shed in An Yi's dream.
The old Taoist sadly stretched out his hand to wipe it off, but he retracted it halfway. Finally, the old Taoist could only sneak back to his nest, lie down, turn around and sigh inward until dawn.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, An Yi returned to the market for vacation. He walked to the playground and watched for a while. More than 200 brothers who had learned to walk in a line and were able to follow orders and prohibitions had a brief discussion with Hu Hu and Yin Jinan in the sun and decided to lead the team back.
, explain the various terrains, procedures and requirements for tomorrow's competition, and then select 135 people with superior abilities in various aspects from more than 210 brothers to form three regular engineer platoons, and then use the platoon as a unit
Study separately, teach together in the evening, learn to work together, and complete the final preparations.
By lunch time, everything was going as planned. An Yi and the other two people who had finished their lunch returned to their barracks. Before they picked up the tea they had just brewed, they heard a noise outside, followed by the banging of wooden benches and sticks.
and the roar of a group fight.
Yin Jinan was so frightened that he ran out and yelled to stop. Hu Zi grabbed the whip angrily and walked out with a dark face. An Yi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, remained unmoved. He sat lazily on a chair, lit a cigarette and smoked feebly.
It seems that everything outside has nothing to do with him.
After a while, Yin Jinan and Hu Hu calmed down the fight and returned angrily.
As soon as Yin Jinan sat down, he said worriedly: "We actually started fighting. How can this be done? There will be a competition tomorrow. How can we win in this state and with such morale? I have been looking at something wrong for the past few days and thought that the competition is imminent.
Don’t hurt their self-esteem first and calm down. I didn’t expect it to explode at this critical moment. Grandma’s..."
An Yi knew that the brothers who usually seemed to live in harmony had no major gaps or conflicts, but the brothers who were deeply influenced by hundreds of years of regional concepts were divided into different gangs intentionally or unintentionally. The ones in Hunan gathered together, and the ones in Jiangxi
They gathered in a group, and the brothers from other provinces who were weak and sparse in number also hugged one after another in order not to be discriminated against. On the surface, everyone was harmonious, but deep down they were on guard, thinking about how not to suffer, so small frictions accumulated.
, the more and more it accumulates, and finally when it reaches a certain level, it naturally breaks out out of control.
"Brother, please say something! What's wrong with you? How long has it been since you still behaved like this?" Yin Jinan blamed An Yi.
An Yi put out the cigarette butt and asked feebly: "What's going on? Let's talk about it."
Yin Jinan was so angry that he glared at him: "Lu Xiong from Jiangxi beat Chang Baofang from Hunan. Both sides were unconvinced, which led to a fight with hundreds of people. If Huzi and I had walked slower, we would have beaten dozens of people.
This is impossible."
"Why did Lu Xiong hit Lao Chang? Didn't Lao Chang have a good temper?" An Yi asked unhurriedly.
When Huzi saw Yin Jinan looking over, he had to respond: "Lao Chang said that he was sick and did not participate in our forced training and stayed at home. At first, Lao Chang took the initiative to sign up for the cooking class, so the nineteen injured brothers who stayed behind thought he could
When it comes to cooking, he is not assigned to stand guard and cook for everyone. But this old man doesn't know how to cook at all. Although he is wrong, everyone hides it for him. When I come back, I will lead the team training and cook.
The class was normal and nothing happened to him. He felt guilty and was afraid that other brothers would expose him and did not dare to continue to pretend to be sick, so he went to training with me. Unexpectedly, on the third day, I found half-blooded footprints on the field, and I immediately removed them.
The old man who left the footprints was called out to take off his shoes. He dared not take them off under my whip, but when he took them off, I was shocked. There was a three-centimeter-thick piece of wood on the heel of his right foot, which was bleeding.
After soaking the wood as big as a cigarette box, I took a closer look and found out that Lao Chang's right foot was shorter than his left foot. He had been hiding this from everyone in order not to be kicked out of the army, and he still used this crappy trick to endure.
In the end, he hurt himself. I thought he was pitiful so I let him rest, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stay any longer and said that he knew how to cut his hair. Just after dinner, Lu Xiong asked him to help him get a haircut, saying that there would be a competition tomorrow.
Because I'm in the way, Dong Yazi took out the two sets of imported clippers and razors you bought. As a result, Chang almost took off Lu Xiong's scalp. Lu Xiong has a fierce temper.
With his head full of blood, he still remembered military regulations and regulations. If he was caught, he would be beaten. The brothers in Hunan were unwilling, and the two sides started fighting! I see, this resentment is not something that lasts only a day or two. Forced training.
For a while, everyone was so tired that they couldn’t stand up even to pee, so they didn’t explode. When they got back and felt comfortable, things started to go away.”
An Yi thought for a moment and said to Yin Jinan Huzi: "Let's do it. I'll handle it. You two don't make any noise and just watch. Jinan, blow the whistle and assemble."
