Just as he was talking, Shen Wufu and his family of five also arrived.
There was nothing to clean up at home. Two women were sitting on the kang.
"I have never seen such a nice house." Xiuyue sighed.
“It’s quite nice, I feel good staying there.”
"Who says it's not the case? Without the little devil, the rest of my life will be comfortable."
The four eldest sisters of the Chen family came over with tofu. After a while, the three brothers and three members of the family also arrived.
There are four tables prepared today, one for men, one for women, and two for children.
The women all helped with the work. Yang Yuemei gave Chen Miao three dollars. "Yesterday, your eldest brother and I went to buy grain and give you the money."
The two sisters-in-law were watching from the side.
Chen Miao took it and said, "Okay, our two families are settled."
Yang Yuemei smiled. She was now debt-free and light-hearted.
Two sisters, Chen Xiaoyan and Liu Yan, were sitting in the yard.
"The house at San Gu's house is really nice. It would be great if I could live in a house like this."
Liu Yan didn't like this cousin and didn't say anything.
"Do you think this house is good?"
"good."
"Third aunt is really rich." Chen Xiaoyan was really envious.
The boys were also walking around the yard. They had never seen a house like this before. Everywhere they looked felt fresh.
"Brother, most people can't jump in through the courtyard wall of Third Aunt's house."
"That's good. It saves the bad guys."
Four large pots are set on fire at the same time to steam meat, stew vegetables, sorghum rice, and steamed buns.
With so many people working, it was not until eleven o'clock that dinner was ready.
It's not that cold yet, so we might as well eat in the side room, where the four tables are almost squeezed in. The three younger boys are sitting down, and the rest are eating standing up, because there are not enough benches.
There must be no less wine on the men's table, but the children are in a hurry to eat and let them eat first.
Who doesn’t feel anxious when they see such a meal? Everyone looks like they’re grabbing it.
Even with such a large amount of food, they still didn't have enough to eat and drank all the broth. Chen Miao once again passed some to them from the women's table.
Chen Xiaoyan didn't want to, so why did she give it to them? But she didn't dare to say it yet.
Yun Shan and Yun Xin also followed their brothers. Due to the atmosphere, the two of them ate much faster. Although they both wanted to grab the meat, they still knew how to take care of the three little ones.
The men drank and chatted happily here. Chen Dongsheng and Shen Wufu smiled and toasted to each other.
Chen Miao and Zhao Xiaoyun also sat down to eat. After the boys were full, they ran out to play, and the wing was now much spacious.
Luo Bingyuan never drank a sip of wine. This was partly due to his health, but also because he didn't like the indulgence after drinking.
The men had been drinking for two hours and had no choice but to heat up the meat.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that everything was cleaned up. Chen Miao was really tired, so she sent the guests off and lay on the hot kang and soon fell asleep.
In the evening, he specially asked his parents and younger siblings to come over for dinner. There was still a lot of meat. Chen Tong's unhappiness was gone and he felt satisfied after eating.
In the evening, my mother and I were alone here. They relaxed a lot and took a shower. Lying on the new quilt, I felt that it makes sense to live like this.
As soon as Shen Jianfeng heard the news of the surrender of the Japs, he ran to his leaders to ask for leave, even if he was discharged from the army, and he wanted to go home no matter what.
"You are so naive. The Japs haven't withdrawn yet. Besides, the national army has regretted it time and time again. What do you think will happen if there is no foreign invasion now?"
How could Shen Jianfeng not know? He just wanted to go home.
Knowing that asking for leave was not an option, I felt very bad.
"Don't always face me with a dead face." Zeng Ziwen looked at Shen Jianfeng with disgust.
"I just want to go home."
"You just want to go home? Who doesn't want to go back? Can you go back at this time? Do you think you can?"
Shen Jianfeng looked unwilling, but there was really nothing he could do.
They were notified three days later and everyone was on standby.
"Damn it, if I were asked to escort the little devil, I wouldn't leave any of them behind."
Everyone knows that Shen Jianfeng is in a bad mood now, and no one except the battalion commander dares to speak out against him.
"There is no use for our team, even if it is, you won't be sent out like this."
Shen Jianfeng was very unconvinced. "Why don't you let me go?"
"Let me tell you, our division commander has helped you fix a lot of mistakes. Your merit report, military medals, personal and collective honors will all be there, but it will be difficult for you to get promoted."
Shen Jianfeng curled his lips, thinking that I am not willing to do it yet. If there is peace, how can we go home and have a wife and children who are hot on the bed?
Zeng Ziwen then said, "You and Xu Shengmao have been sent out to study and will set off tomorrow."
"Study? Where to go?"
"Military University. You don't have to think about it. It's far away from your home, and classes will start there in five days."
Shen Jianfeng's illusions were extinguished again.
"Don't look reluctant. There are so many people vying to go."
"Yes, yes, I don't know what is good and what is evil."
Xu Shengmao and Zeng Ziwen were the only ones left in the office. "Look at him. If he knew someone was coming to pick up those people, he wouldn't go crazy."
Xu Shengmao gnashed his teeth and said, "I don't think there's anything he can do about it. He told me last time to make me faint."
"Humph, his ideas are quite weird. The leader told me that last time he said that I entrusted him with the dream. At that time, I couldn't laugh or cry.
In any case, you two will leave tomorrow. As long as he doesn't encounter a kid, he won't be so impulsive."
Shen Jianfeng came out of the office and happened to run into the security guard, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Company Commander Shen, someone is here. Let Battalion Commander Zeng pass."
"Who's coming?"
"Come here to pick up those lab technicians."
Shen Jianfeng's eyebrows stood up at that moment. The guard also knew that he had leaked the information. "Company Commander Shen, just pretend you don't know."
Shen Jianfeng said nothing and turned to leave. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. How could such a devil be let go? Such a thing would never work.
The path under their feet has been changed. The people guarding them today happen to be his men.
"I'll go in and take a look."
My company commander said he wanted to go in. Of course he wouldn't stop him.
After Shen Jianfeng came in, he didn't speak at all and drew his gun and started shooting.
To Shen Jianfeng, these six people are like six guns, and they are all full of heads.
The little soldier standing guard was frightened to death when he heard the gunshots inside, and both of them rushed in. Now they saw the company commander put away his gun.
"Company commander, what should we do?"
"You two, just watch me here." One person should do the work and the other should be responsible. We can't bring down the two little brothers.
The two young soldiers also understood what the company commander meant.
Zeng Ziwen had just finished listening to the guard's report, but before he could say anything, a gunshot rang out.
