Because of Liu Lang's return, there was a three-day banquet at the Liu Mansion. However, because of his parents' face, Liu Lang personally entertained the guests on the first day. For the next two days, Liu Lang hid in the back house with Lieutenant Colonel Ji.
He is really good at playing chess, writing and talking nonsense. Writing is really not what he is good at, but talking nonsense is quite good.
The little butterfly who traveled through time and space has been educated by the Internet. Just pick out any of the various jokes in it and you can instantly kill the green girls of this era, especially the kind with a little color. Whenever Lieutenant Colonel Ji wants to
It took a long time and Liu Lang's prompting to figure out the key. After half a day of chasing and killing Liu Tuanzuo, the watery affection flowed out of Liu Tuanzuo's eyes. Liu Tuanzuo is the one who is so excited!
However, his parents are very busy these days. Except for Lang Jianjia who still has time to spend with the young couple, Liu Shunhe basically spends time outside to socialize with his neighbors. Liu Lang doesn't dissuade him. It's his parents' happiness, so they should rest instead.
Uncomfortable.
After three days, all the guests had left, and the Liu Mansion finally became quiet.
This morning, while Ji Yanxue was being dragged by several older girls and younger wives, they took advantage of the opportunity to create a gap in the Dragon Gate Formation.
The old couple summoned their precious son in person. Seeing the old couple's hesitant words and somewhat solemn expressions, Liu Lang knew that the legendary Chinese-style forced marriage was finally coming, and there was no way to avoid it.
"Langwa'er, your mother and I have discussed it. It's already July and the weather is hot. It will take some time for us to be polite to the in-laws. Why don't we arrange for the Mid-Autumn Festival to take care of you and Yanxue's affairs?
Yes, what do you think?" Liu Shunhe handed Liu Lang a cup of tea and said to Liu Lang in a pleasant manner.
Seeing Liu Lang just lowering his head to drink tea but not speaking, Lang Jianjia said angrily: "Son, you old man is discussing with you! Tell me what you think. You are now the commander of a regiment and busy with military affairs. What difficulties do you have, dad?"
Mom will also understand."
"Really?" Liu Lang looked at his parents suspiciously, his eyes full of disbelief.
When have parents in forced marriages in China ever been so reasonable? Liu Lang didn't dare to have high hopes.
"When did I, your mother, not feel sorry for my prodigal son? You want to go to school, but your old man doesn't want to, so it's me who persuades him to agree? You want to join the army, but your mother and I don't agree to it? You
Is that true?" Lang Jianjia just slapped her chest and said that she was the most reasonable mom in the world. She ignored the fact that the husband beside her looked a little stiff. This was obviously deceiving her son and suppressing her husband!
"Ahem, okay, then I'll tell you what I think. Really! Mom, don't lie to me." Faced with such a powerful mother, Liu Lang could only ignore his father's embarrassment for the time being.
"Say." Lang Jianjia nodded domineeringly.
"It's like this. If I tell you how a man can take care of his family before the Japanese invaders are wiped out, you won't hit me!" Liu Lang hesitated for a long time before finishing his written sentence.
"You little melon, don't try to fool me with the tricks in the book. Your mother, before I married your old man, was a young lady who was proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. General Huo said this in order to refuse the emperor's reward for his mansion.
I just said this ancient saying, but I have never said that you can't have a family without getting married. Little Japan and our country have been fighting since the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 until now. Who knows how long the war will continue? If you follow your intention, the fight will last until dozens.
What should I do in the next year?" Lang Jianjia's face obviously looked bad.
Meeting an old woman who wants a grandchild is already a headache. But then meeting an old woman who is well-educated in ancient and modern times, Liu Lang knows how difficult it is to deal with.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Lang could only say helplessly: "The Independence Regiment has not been in the army for a long time, and most of the soldiers in the army are young people of the same age as sons. If they all bleed and sweat on the training ground, but their sons are getting married in a big way and are addicted to...
Wenrou Township, this is a huge blow to morale, not to mention that Yanxue is only twenty years old now and has not yet reached the legal age for marriage, so why not wait a year later, since we are engaged anyway, and your daughter-in-law cannot run away."
"Okay! It turns out that I heard that you had a close relationship with that American Western woman. I didn't take it too seriously. Now I know it. Do you want to be Chen Shimei of the Republic of China? What else can you do with the law?
You are trying to fool me about the age of marriage. Please tell me which one of the marriage laws of the Republic of China says that you are not allowed to get married even if you are 20 years old? If I don’t beat you to death today, you unfilial son and Chen Shimei, I will.
My surname is not Lang." Lang Jianjia's eyebrows stood up, he stretched out his hand and took out a cane from behind the chair.
Damn it, Liu Lang jumped four or five meters away. Damn it, I had already expected that he would shirk. She even hid the cane for enforcing the family law in advance.
"Hey, Langwa'er, calm down, Langwa'er is also the leader of the group after all, don't slap her in the face and make people laugh." Liu Shunhe quickly pulled out his furious wife and advised her.
I'll go, give me a red face and a white face, right? When Liu Lang saw this posture, he didn't know that this trick played by his parents was nothing more than soft and hard, one hit and the other pulled, and finally forced him to submit.
As for the information that he didn't want to get engaged immediately, they naturally got it from Ji Yanxue. Because this idea was never mentioned to anyone except Liu Lang and Ji Yanxue.
It's not that Liu Lang is unwilling to end his single life and find a way to control himself, but that Liu Lang himself has no confidence that he will survive the flesh and blood mill he must go to. A full 300,000 national army elites just filled Songhu.
On the battlefield, he only had one regiment of no more than 3,000 men.
Three thousand people, no matter how elite they are, no matter how sophisticated their weapons are, compared to the millions of troops fighting, there are still thousands of aircraft circling in the sky, and there are still hundreds of ships erected in the Yangtze River and the sea like giant towers.
caliber muzzle, it is just like a wave in the sea, it will be annihilated soon.
However, knowing that he was the supreme commander was not a very wise strategy, but Liu Lang had to go. Yes, he had to go, even if he knew it was a fatal situation.
Not only Liu Lang knows that the bald man will definitely fill the country's elite army, from the thirty German weapon masters he spent several years reorganizing to Liu Lang, an independent regiment that has made great achievements, into that flesh and blood.
In the mill, even Liu Lang himself had to go because he couldn't overcome the hurdle in his heart.
The massacre in the capital city was not only a hurdle in Liu Lang's heart, but probably also a hurdle in the hearts of all Chinese people in the future that cannot be passed! If we come to this time and space, we will not sacrifice for the hundreds of thousands of souls who died unjustly.
Whatever he did, Liu Lang would rather he had never been reborn.
He worked hard to make money, tried his best to develop the most advanced weapons that could be developed in this era, and strengthened his army to the best of his ability. What was it for? Just to go to that battlefield, maybe Songhu
They would still be lost, and perhaps Nanjing would be lost as well, but he hoped to use the three thousand flesh and blood bodies he led to buy some time for those women and children to run out of the city and retreat to Jiangbei.
Yes, the land can be occupied and the city can fall, but as long as the people are there, everything can be started over. But if the people are gone, it will be a permanent scar on the nation, deeply imprinted in the hearts of every generation of Chinese people.
It will also be remembered forever in Chinese history.
That memorial hall will be engraved with the names of countless Chinese people in the future. Liu Lang hopes that in this time and space, there will not be so many names engraved on it.
But in order to realize this ambition, Liu Lang must lead his troops to Songhu, and going to Songhu will almost guarantee death.
Ji Yanxue is only 20, and will only be 23 in three years. She still has great years. Therefore, Liu Lang doesn't want to get married, at least not so soon. If he can come back alive from that war, then he will never look back.
But now, he can't be so selfish.
It is inevitable that parents will be hurt. However, whether they are independent regiments or hundreds of thousands of national soldiers, when they resist the Japanese invaders' powerful ships and artillery with their flesh and blood, whose parents are not sad?
In this era, some people are destined to make sacrifices. Otherwise, all Chinese people will have no future.
