Chapter 378: Chairman Jiang is here
Su Dao's original intention is not to waste it. Except for the insiders of the army, others do not hold banquets. Anyway, they have no friendship with them. Although this kind of thing is more lively as the more people, Su Dao is not short of people now.
Even if there are only two people in a military, there are dozens of guests on the wedding day. If there are also people at the division level below, there will be hundreds of people alone.
The matter on the wedding day was decided like this. In the next period of time, Su Dao not only cared about the situation of the troops every day, but also went to learn about the arrangement of the wedding day with Wu's mother.
Now Su Dao has really become a hand-off manager. All the things about the wedding day were handled by Wu’s mother alone. Although she didn’t understand some things, she couldn’t help but understand someone.
When they heard that Su Dao was going to get married, many elderly people who specialize in these things recommended themselves, not only came to help for free, but also ran faster than those young people.
No one knows better than themselves who can have their days. It can be said that without Su Dao, there would be no Northeast today, and the people would not live and work so quickly. Now Su Dao is going to get married. To put it simply, this is simply the blessing of the entire four eastern provinces, and it is even more important than the marriage of their own children.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 20th day of the second lunar month. Today's Jinxi is very different from the past. Red lanterns are hung everywhere on the streets, and the word "Happy" is posted on it, as if every family has a marriage.
For them, this is a joy from the bottom of their hearts. Besides, it doesn’t cost money to hang a lantern. Who doesn’t have a red lantern these days? Hang it on during the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, they will take it down. For them, it’s nothing more than just cleaning the lantern and then pasting the word “Happy” on it, it doesn’t matter at all.
This is the first time in Jinxi City that it has faced such a big thing in history, and the security measures are extremely strict. The armed police forces in the city were not only dispatched, but even outside the city, they were surrounded by troops of one army. Special forces, armored troops and artillery units were on standby in and outside the city to strictly prevent any unexpected situations.
Although Su Dao's marriage was a happy event, it was also a big test for the Expeditionary Force. It can be said that this was the most gathering of people since the 99th Army was reorganized into the Expeditionary Force.
In addition to the troops who were still fighting in the Philippines, the commanders did not return, even some generals from Taiwan rushed back by plane.
For a time, Jinxi City was full of stars, allowing the people to truly experience what a visual feast is. In the past, seeing a colonel could make them excited for a long time. But today, as long as they squatted at the door of the street of the headquarters, they could see several big men with the rank of general hanging on the collar with their big eyes.
Chen Bingquan is 61 this year. Although he is covered in silver hair, his spirit is not very good. He runs well and is not inferior to those young people at all.
As an old man in Jinxi, Chen Bingquan has an unusual reputation in the city. Whoever has a marriage basically goes to discuss it when he first got engaged and asks him to preside over the wedding on the same day.
So far, Chen Bingquan has no idea how many weddings he has hosted. How many couples have married under their command, but today is Chen Bingquan's most unforgettable day.
Today was a great day. There were three people who found Chen Bingquan and asked him to preside over the wedding. Chen Bingquan naturally agreed to find him the first one.
There is nothing to say. Chen Bingquan is an experienced man, not powerful or arrogant. Anyone who asks him to host a wedding, regardless of poverty, wealth, or power, will come first and then arrive.
Moreover, the salary for the help is determined by the boss himself. If the rich are given more, Chen Bingquan will not refuse. If the poor are not given a salary, Chen Bingquan will not say much. At most, after the work is done, the boss will still have the remaining dishes, so he will find a plate to put it home and order it for two days.
In order to hope that Chen Bingquan can come to their house to help, some people even try to change the wedding time. Anyway, everyone knows Chen Bingquan's principles of doing things. After a long time, naturally no one will make things difficult for him.
This time, Chen Bingquan had already received an invitation from a family and had made some preparations for it. After hearing the news that Su Dao was about to get married, although Chen Bingquan wanted to help, he had already accepted the invitation from him, so he planned to give up.
Who knew that the three families who found him found him in the end found him, saying that the wedding time would be postponed for a few days, so he asked him to hold Su Dao's wedding first.
Since the boss made a statement, Chen Bingquan naturally had no objection. So, with his fame and reputation among the people, Chen Bingquan successfully became a supporter of Su Dao's wedding.
"Commander, I originally wanted you to go around the streets when you get married. One reason is the custom here, and the other reason is to control the time of marriage, avoid the distance being too close and there are too long gaps after getting married. But I think today's attitude, it seems a bit unrealistic to go around the streets, you see..."
Chen Bingquan stood in Su Dao's new house and told him carefully.
He had never dealt with Su Dao. Although he heard that Su Dao is easy to talk to, he had never experienced it himself after all. Therefore, at the beginning, Chen Bingquan did not dare to be too strong. If Su Dao was unhappy, it would be difficult for the people to let him go without saying anything else.
Northeastern people are straight-hearted and don’t have many bad intentions. Although Su Dao is not old, he is like their reborn parents. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who would have rejected today’s wedding date and automatically postponed it for a few days in order to give Su Dao a unique wedding. Besides, everyone also wants to take this opportunity to meet Su Dao’s team to get married.
"Haha, Mr. Chen is so disgusting. I'm very relieved to let you arrange everything. Besides, I'm just a groom today, not a commander. Don't be under any pressure. Do whatever you should do. I will cooperate with you."
As the legendary, Su Dao did not show too strong. Later generations once heard this. After all, marriage is not often the case, and many people do not understand the rules. In order not to destroy the atmosphere, they choose to follow the arrangements of the emcee and do whatever they want.
Chen Bingquan has such a high prestige among the people and has held countless weddings of all sizes. Su Dao naturally would not be worried about the control of the scene. To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to Chen Bingquan even become the ancestor of Su Dao today.
"That's good, but what should I do if I go to the high hall? Only the woman's mother is there on both sides. Do you think you are looking for an elder to come out? Otherwise, this level is a bit unruly."
After roughly exploring Su Dao's attitude, Chen Bingquan began to bring the topic to the high hall.
To be honest, this level is also his most troublesome thing. Su Dao's parents are not in China, and according to what Wu's mother said, if there is no relative here, how can you worship this high hall? If you don't worship, it will be unreasonable in terms of rules, but who will you worship again after worshiping?
Anyway, Chen Bingquan could not think of a person qualified to be the elder of Su Dao, who had achieved such success at a young age. How could a person who was not a relative of Su Dao and who was not a relative of his career and could not succeed in his career sit on the high hall?
"Then remove the stage of worship and put the spiritual positions of the fallen soldiers of the Expeditionary Army on it. Without their sacrifice, there would be no peace and prosperity we have today. I can have the ones who can sit on it today. Apart from my parents, there are only these heroes who died in battle."
Su Dao was also very troubled about worshiping the high hall. Wu Zhongguo told him about this problem half a month ago, and he was deceived by Su Dao at that time. Today, Chen Bingquan asked again, and Su Dao had no choice but to remove this link and put the spirits who died in battle on it, which was a kind of respect for them.
"Uh... well, that seems to be a matter of fact."
Chen Bingquan nodded, thinking that this was OK. Although he was not a biological parent, this link was not spared. Since Su Dao himself was willing to do this, he had no reason to object.
Then he explained some things to pay attention to during the wedding, and Chen Bingquan went out to check other preparations. Today is different from the past, and the wedding must be foolproof.
Su Dao was bored in the house. He took off his military coat and revealed a brand new set of expeditionary army uniforms. The ranks of a pair of second-level generals were hung on the collar, almost blinding Su Dao's eyes. He couldn't help but speak in a narcissistic way: "I didn't expect that Su Dao is today? Haha!"
But not long after, Su Dao discovered a huge problem. It was only the second month of the lunar calendar, and the temperature in the northeast was still very low. Although it had passed the coldest period of winter, it was still not optimistic.
In order to force his appearance to look less tragic and his figure is not so bloated, Su Dao will take off the outermost military coat at the beginning of the day, and the cotton clothes inside are also replaced with a thin layer of thread. If it can keep warm, it is probably the newly developed warm coat worn inside.
Fortunately, after testing throughout the winter, the warmth of this suit is quite good. If you wear two sets of warm clothes inside, then a thread coat, a leather cotton coat, and finally wear a thin military uniform on the outside, even in the cold winter, it will not look too cold without a coat.
But now, Su Dao is only wearing a warm clothing and a thread coat, and then a wool military uniform that can slightly protect the cold.
In desperation, Su Dao whipped around the house for a while and finally found a new set of warm clothes. After quickly changing it on, he felt a little warmer.
"Commander, Chairman Jiang is here."
Su Dao, who had just changed his clothes, had not had time to sort out his clothes buttons, and the door of the house was pushed open by the deputy chief of staff. Since Wu Zhongguo needed to go back to his house today, Su Dao's followers were replaced by Deputy Chief of Staff Xiao Jinshan.
"Oh? Let's go out and greet us together."
Su Dao was puzzled, pulled Xiao Jinshan out of the house.
Since Su Dao landed in the Philippines, Chairman Jiang seemed to have guessed Su Dao’s intentions, so he did not deliberately oppose him in some matters. As long as Su Dao did not endanger his status or made him feel dissatisfied with his face, Chairman Jiang generally would not cause trouble for Su Dao.
In the past, Chairman Jiang thought that Su Dao was just talking big, and in the end he even made a kick in the country, so he was guarding against Su Dao as if he was guarding against a wolf. But now the situation is different. Su Dao has taken the first step. What Chairman Jiang needs to do next is not to force Su Dao to withdraw, but to support him to do it. The sooner he conquers the Philippines, the more beneficial it will be to him.
The previous telegram was nothing more than just a gesture. After knowing the whole story of the matter later, Chairman Jiang just told the United States that the telegram was replied by Su Dao himself.
Chapter completed!
