The training of the soldiers quickly got on the right track. At the same time, he also asked Zhou Anping to let go. After the year, the independent brigade will start recruiting soldiers, with a monthly salary of 2 silver dollars.
January 28, 1938 is December 27 of the lunar calendar, and it will be the Chinese New Year in two days.
The New Year atmosphere in the village is very intense, but the training has not fallen behind.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the soldiers in front of him. After the new year, these people will become the backbone of the grassroots. Moreover, Zhou Weiguo will also select the commander of the second regiment and the commander of the third regiment among these people.
Zhou Weiguo explained the essentials of sniper rifles very carefully, and then gave them a demonstration and told them how to become a qualified sniper. During this period, Zhou Weiguo exchanged 300 high-definition telescopes from the system, at least as high as this one now.
The telescopes of the era were much better.
Then in the medical section, he exchanged a set of surgical books for Xiao Ya, and exchanged some seeds for later generations of hybrid rice. When spring comes, they can be sold to nearby farmers and make people's lives easier, and then
I exchanged a small hydroelectric generator and installed it in the river flowing behind Qingshan Village. The power supply is 30kw/h, which is enough for Zhou Weiguo's current use. Jiangsu has always been rich in hydropower resources, so it is very suitable for such a small hydroelectric generator.
.
Then, Zhou Weiguo was busy asking people from Zhou Ji's shop to transport electric lights, wires, etc., and finally achieved the goal of using electric lights in Qingshan Village two years ago.
"Master, my reply will arrive in Suqian this afternoon." The shopkeeper of Zhou Ji Shop in Suqian informed Zhou Weiguo Road.
Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, he was Zhou Weiguo now, but he was not Zhou Weiguo. He was afraid that Zhou Jixian would see something and miss Zhou Jixian.
"Okay. I'll go down the mountain to the county seat in a moment." Zhou Weiguo said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Weiguo, do you think my parents will come?" Xiao Ya said worriedly, "The shopkeeper didn't say my parents would come."
The shopkeeper listened on the side and said, "Well, the master did not say anything about Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao."
Xiao Ya was a little disappointed.
Zhou Weiguo rubbed Xiao Ya's head and said, "Silly girl."
…
New Year's Eve, January 30, 1938
In the Zhouji store in Suqian, Zhou Weiguo and Xiao Ya were sitting, looking anxiously outside the store.
Suddenly, four rickshaws stopped outside Zhou Ji's shop.
Zhou Weiguo looked outside the store, and then saw Zhou Jixian walking in. Looking at Zhou Jixian's half-white hair, his eyes suddenly turned red, and then he knelt down to Zhou Jixian.
"Dad, the child is unfilial." Zhou Weiguo choked and said, "We failed to drive the Japanese invaders out of Nanjing." At this time, Zhou Weiguo was choking, and he didn't know whether it was Zhou Wen or Zhou Weiguo.
"Son." Zhou Jixian raised his head and closed his eyes, "It's good to be alive." He once thought that Zhou Weiguo had died in the battle to defend Nanjing.
Then, another middle-aged couple walked in. Xiao Ya immediately ran towards the couple, "Dad, Mom!"
"Ya'er!"
…
Finally, Liu Zhihui came over and helped Zhou Weiguo up, "Second brother, get up."
…
On New Year’s Eve, more than 20 tables of drinks were set up in Qingshan Village
"Today is New Year's Eve, the biggest day of the year." Zhou Weiguo picked up a bowl of wine, "Here, the first bowl of wine, is dedicated to our brothers in the sky who are looking at us!" After saying that, Zhou Weiguo drank a bowl of wine,
He poured another bowl of wine on the ground.
"I would like to pay tribute to everyone here with this second bowl of wine. I hope we can fight more Japanese Japs next year and drive the Japanese Japs out of China earlier!" Zhou Weiguo drank the second bowl of wine.
"This third bowl of wine, I want to honor my father. Dad, the child is unfilial. As a son, he failed to fulfill his filial piety under your knees. Please, dad, be sure to take care of yourself. I hope you are in good health." Zhou Weiguo finished his third drink.
Three bowls of wine.
"This fourth bowl of wine, I want to honor Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao. Back then, I delayed Xiao Ya's marriage in order to apply for the military academy. Now I am on the battlefield, and I have delayed Xiao Ya again. But uncle and aunt, please don't worry. In this life, I
I will definitely live up to Xiao Ya." With that said, Zhou Weiguo finished his fourth bowl of wine.
"Okay!" Zhou Jixian said "good" and everyone cheered.
"The fifth bowl of wine, I would also like to pay tribute to the brothers here. If it weren't for you, I might have died on the battlefield! Here, I thank you all!" After saying that, Zhou Weiguo drank the fifth bowl.
"Thank you, sir!" Everyone was very moved. They had always felt that it was their duty to protect Shangguan, but when Zhou Weiguo came here, Zhou Weiguo became grateful to them, so everyone drank the bowl of wine together.
Zhou Jixian, who was on the side, looked at Zhou Weiguo and was very pleased. Even Xiao's father and Xiao's mother changed their original dissatisfaction and became more pleased with Zhou Weiguo.
"Okay, I wish you all a Happy New Year!" Zhou Weiguo said, "Let's eat!"
"Yeah!" Everyone cheered and started eating immediately. There were 2 chickens, 2 ducks, 2 fish, and a big pig head on each table, as well as some cabbage and tofu. Such dishes are usually difficult to find.
Eaten.
…
Halfway through the meal, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Huzi, go see what's going on." Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows and said.
"Yes!" Immediately, Xu Hu went out and brought two people with him.
Because they heard the gunshot, everyone was on alert and no longer thought about eating.
After a while, Xu Hu brought over a young man and woman who were tied up.
"Li Xia!" Xiao Ya stood up and said.
Liu Zhihui, on the other hand, widened his eyes, looked back at Zhou Weiguo, and said, "Second brother, you are so awesome."
When Zhou Weiguo saw Chen Yi, he stood up, turned around, and said, "Hu Zi, take these two down and lock them up."
"Weiguo, what are you doing? I know them. They are not bad people. Please let them go." Xiao Ya said dissatisfied.
"Hu Zi, take him down!" Zhou Weiguo roared angrily.
This was the first time Xiao Ya saw Zhou Weiguo like this. He was so angry and so lonely that it was scary.
"Awen." Chen Yi finally shouted out. She couldn't believe that the person standing in front of her was really Zhou Wen, "Awen!"
Zhang Chu, who was on the side, saw this and said, "Zhou Wen, we are also college classmates after all, why are you tying us up!"
Hearing this, Zhou Jixian couldn't sit still and said, "Let's loosen the ties." Everyone knew that Zhou Jixian was Zhou Weiguo's father, so Xu Hu looked at Zhou Weiguo again.
Zhou Jixian laughed angrily, "Do you want me to personally untie these two people?"
Xu Hu had no choice but to untie Chen Yi and Zhang Chu.
"Li Xia, it's really you." At this time, Xiao Ya said slightly happily. Chen Yi was her colleague when she worked at Nanjing No. 4 Girls' Middle School, and they had a good relationship. "Don't be angry, Wei Guo didn't mean it."
Yes. You and Wei Guo are actually college classmates. It’s so destined."
Zhou Weiguo is in a mess now. The original owner's mood has affected him, really affected him. He doesn't even know whether the original owner loves Xiao Ya or Chen Yi. But he knows that he loves Xiao Ya. Although he loves Xiao Ya
Ya was influenced by the original owner, but he really fell in love with Xiao Ya.
As for Chen Yi, Zhou Weiguo felt very complicated, heartbroken and unwilling. The original owner's feelings for Chen Yi were passionate and he truly loved Chen Yi. His feelings for Xiao Ya may be more about guilt and compensation, but
There are also some who like it.
As for Chen Yi, under Xiao Ya's voice, she finally came to her senses and forced a smile, "Xiao Ya, why are you here?"
"Ah, it's a long story! I'm so happy to see you and your husband today." Xiao Ya said, "My parents, Uncle Zhou, this is my colleague when I worked at Nanjing No. 4 Girls' Middle School.
Li Xia, and her husband, Guo Sicheng. They seem to be university classmates of Weiguo."
"Hello, uncle. Hello, uncle and aunt." Chen Yi said to Zhang Chu.
"Sit down." Zhou Jixian said, and then glanced at Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo still turned his back and did not look at the crowd. Zhou Jixian knew that this girl was most likely the girl Zhou Weiguo had liked before, and judging from this reaction,
Zhou Weiguo might not have broken up with her yet. Thinking of this, Zhou Jixian became so angry that he couldn't help but pick up the cane and hit Zhou Weiguo with it, "You traitor! You traitor!"
Zhou Jixian's stick woke up Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo wiped away his tears, turned around, knelt in front of Zhou Jixian, and said, "Dad, the child is unfilial and makes you angry."
"If you don't get up yet, apologize to the guests." Zhou Jixian said angrily.
Then Zhou Weiguo stood up, looked at Zhang Chu, and said, "Mr. Guo, Mrs. Guo, I have offended you a lot today, please forgive me."
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way." Zhang Chu smiled reluctantly and said, "Actually, I have to thank you very much today, otherwise, my wife and I might have been bullied."
"In that case, please take a seat and have a New Year's Eve dinner together." Zhou Weiguo looked at Zhang Chu and said. He didn't even look at Chen Yi. He was really afraid that he couldn't control his feelings.
"Thank you." Zhang Chu immediately pulled Chen Yi to sit down.
Immediately, Zhou Jixian stood up and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, a traditional day for our family to reunite, and it is also a festive day. Brother Xiao, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Today, the two children will be reunited."
The wedding has been arranged, how about it?"
"Very good." Father Xiao nodded. He was still very satisfied with Zhou Weiguo. He was young, a major general and brigade commander, and had studied abroad. He was also good to Xiao Ya. Although he resisted marriage once before, it didn't affect him.
, he also saw that there was a story between Chen Yi and Zhou Weiguo. As a middle-aged man during the Republic of China, Xiao's father was not opposed to three wives and four concubines, especially since his son-in-law was a general. However, this did not mean that he was not opposed to having three wives and four concubines.
I will make plans for my daughter.
"Then everyone, please continue eating and wait for the two newlyweds to change into their formal attires." Zhou Jixian said. Originally, Zhou Weiguo planned to hold his wedding to Xiao Ya on the sixth day of the first lunar month, so he had already given up the wedding ceremony.
People are ready. In war-torn times, it doesn’t matter so much, as long as it fits well. “Zhihui, take your brother to change into wedding clothes.”
"Take Ya'er to change into wedding clothes." Father Xiao said to Mother Xiao.
