When a victory is over, a tooth beating ceremony is an unparalleled enjoyment, not to mention that it is done by a very "professional chef" himself.
Yelentina could not resist the temptation of having nothing to eat, so she looked forward to the meal in the evening all day long, so that she only ate a few slices of bread throughout the day, leaving her belly ready for a feast in the evening.
Of course, their expectations are worth it.
The put together table and desk are placed at home. The house is not big, and it is a bit reluctant to squeeze in seven or eight people.
Now the fruits of a whole day's work are on the table.
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms, mutton soup, mutton dumplings, and mutton roasted with potatoes, this is a hearty meal." Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist and admired this.
"I think it's okay. You men all have big appetites. Fortunately, we prepared a lot of dumplings this time. The dumplings are cooked quickly, brother, you don't have to worry."
Starfruit also prepared some dipping sauce, which is actually meat sauce made from canned beef. There is no vinegar or soy sauce, and the salty meat sauce is enough.
As for drinking, in addition to a bottle of preserved vodka, there was just a pot of tea made from the seized black tea powder, and some hot milk.
Under difficult conditions, this meal was a luxury.
Soon, the invited people arrived one after another. Yevlov and Yelentina discussed it all the way. When they walked to the door of Yang Mingzhi's house, they asked about the overflowing fragrance.
"It's so delicious. God knows what they did!" Yelentina couldn't wait to push open the door. She was stunned by the sight in front of her. The glutton in her stomach was immediately drawn out, and she began to scream and roar.
"Oh! Sister Yelentina, you are here! Hurry up and take a seat! Hurry up and take a seat!" Yang Tao welcomed with a smile. At this moment, she was still holding a rice spoon in her hand and wearing an apron, looking exactly like a cook.
Yelenkina didn't see anyone else, and sat down as soon as she could. She immediately wanted to respect her instinct and start, but Yang Mingzhi immediately stopped her. "Let's abide by some etiquette. Let's have a drink first when everyone comes."
There was a bottle of vodka on the table, and Yelentina immediately smiled awkwardly.
Soon everyone who was supposed to come arrived, and the room was packed with people. In addition to the adults, there were also two girls and a young lady.
Everyone knew that this Chinese couple always used two thin wooden sticks to eat, which showed that their fingers were very dexterous. Everyone took their own teacups, cutlery and bowls to avoid embarrassment.
Yang Mingzhi stood up, raised his head and poured it on everyone who could drink, but his wife had better forget it.
"No! I'd better drink some. It's not like you don't know that I can drink." Star Tao said dissatisfied. She stood up, but she was still a little short even when she stood up. Several old uncles came over, one by one.
He has a shaggy face and an unusually tall and burly figure.
"Bessika, you'd better not drink. You're too young." Balzen said jokingly.
"No! I want to drink." She turned to look at Yevlov. "Sir, how about you give me an order? It's not like you don't know about me. We can be considered old comrades in arms for more than a year.
.”
Yevlov was very familiar with this couple, and he knew that they had made this meal when they were in the Far East. This one is called stew, and that one is called dumplings, both of which are from the people on the south bank of the Amur River.
gourmet food.
"Okay, I will give you an order. Everyone here today, except our sniper hero Natasha's brother, everyone must have a drink!"
In this case, Yang Mingzhi had no choice.
"Cheers!" Everyone stood up and raised their teacups high.
"Come! Here's to this battle, our great success."
"Honor this great Patriotic War!"
"Honor our motherland!"
…
In the end, everyone drank it all.
The teacups were placed on the table, and everyone immediately took action. Everyone became hungry wolves.
Yang Tao looked at these people with joy. These officers were very crazy when fighting, and they were also so crazy when eating, as if they were born to be crazy people, full of passion. These dumplings were one after another, and they shouted that they were very delicious.
"If it's delicious, you can eat more. You're welcome. I'll make another pot." Carambola immediately got up after eating only a little, and went straight to the outdoor stove to continue making dumplings.
So Yang Mingzhi had to give her more dishes. It is said that women in feudal society did not eat at the table. I am afraid this is the reason. A group of old men who eat meat and drink wine dominate the table. Women are really too lazy for these rough men.
Let's go together, and they eat very quickly, and they have to let the woman continue to cook and serve them.
This gluttonous feast continued, with more food and more people talking.
Star Tao returned to his seat and ate quickly, receiving unanimous praise from everyone.
Battalion Commander Pavlov couldn't help but think about it: "When the war is over, Besica can be a chef, and she will definitely be loved by everyone."
"Cook? Forget it. I will follow my husband, if I can, and I think I can work as a doctor. But my husband and I have made an appointment that when the war is over I will definitely still be young and I want to go to school.
At least go study professional medicine.”
Yang Tao's "lofty ambition" made everyone present think deeply. When the war was over, she made this choice. Now the war is at a very critical moment, as if the dawn of victory is about to disappear, but she still firmly believes in the victory of the war.
In this warm countryside, everyone started to have a good time with carambola, and everyone started to have fun and think freely.
Yelentina said: "When the war is won, I will probably have to continue working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Or I will eventually resign and become a small official, then get married and do what a woman should do." Speaking of the key words,
Her eyes glanced towards the man involuntarily.
Yevlov and Yang Mingzhi could vaguely feel that Yelentina was interested in him. After all, in principle, one was the division commander and the other was the political commissar of the division. A man and a woman were both young and tended to human instincts, so there should be some
Feeling good.
But Yevlov does not have such great ambitions. "I think my future will be ordinary. I am lucky enough to be a division commander. When the war is over, I should be demobilized and return to work. If possible, I can go to a small factory.
Be a cadre. Really, war is too cruel. I hope for peace and a quiet life."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Yang Mingzhi. "Berekov, I remember that your dream is to return to your motherland and save your people."
Yang Mingzhi nodded. "I have to liberate my motherland and drive away the Japanese who are just like the Nazis. This is my goal. Before that, I will be an internationalist fighter and work with the Soviet Red Army to eliminate the Nazis in front of me.
.After these matters are finally resolved, whether to stay in the Soviet Union or return to the motherland depends on the actual situation."
Yang Mingzhi already has feelings for Belarus. From the time the troops arrived here across half the world in April, to the outbreak of the war, and finally to the swamps, the place is full of comrades who have gone through life and death, and the comradeship is hard to let go.
"I already have feelings for this land. This is Belarus. In my opinion, it is almost my second hometown. I can stay here in the future."
Yang Mingzhi thought more carefully. China will drive away the invaders, and the outbreak of civil war will be the wheel of history. A small butterfly will not change it. Then Tiemu will come, and major events in history will still happen, some
Tragedies will also happen, and the wheel of history moves forward step by step. In the big era, small people can only adapt to the times. But you can predict and go first, and you should consider the future of yourself and your family.
My wife was so young, so I didn’t say anything. She encountered a series of terrible things, and the whole family was killed. When peace comes, as a husband, he must take her to live in a long-term peaceful and stable area, and Belarus may be the most suitable place.
Yang Mingzhi did not explain these considerations, but his words "Belarus is my second hometown" undoubtedly moved many people.
So much so that Yelentina asked: "Berekov, do you want to become a Soviet citizen and join the Belarusian Socialist People's Republic?"
The Soviet Union is a big alliance, in which Belarus plays a very important role in the alliance. It has great autonomy and voice in the Soviet Union. However, the entire territory of Belarus is now considered occupied, and Belarus’s seat has simply been cancelled.
, all government personnel went into exile, so the guerrilla republic was born in the later war era.
These words stopped Yang Mingzhi from asking. "I am a citizen of New China. I have no choice but to escape into this era. Do I have to betray my motherland?" But then I thought about it. Grandpa Taizu is still strategizing in the cave dwelling. Even if it is
New China was only established a few years later.
My identity is actually that of a member of the Republic of China. In such an era, such an identity is infuriating (the poverty and weakness of the Republic of China made the people sad), but I still have the identity of an Anti-Union soldier, and my official identity is an officer of the Soviet Red Army.
We are all our own people here. Yelentina continued: "Berekov, in fact, the superiors can easily find out that your identity is forged. You are Chinese and your military status is indeed Buryat Mongolian. You want
Think about your future. Only if you join the Soviet Union and become us legally can you do greater things."
Yelenkina gave Yang Mingzhi a subtle hint, which meant nothing more than "People who are not from my race must have different hearts." Lao Maozi has always been racist, unless this person is of great benefit to them.
Yang Mingzhi did not give a direct reply.
"Berekov, I advise you to think about it carefully. We are all comrades here who have experienced life and death. You are actually more capable than Yevlov, but you are still a foreigner. It is impossible for your superiors to give you a higher position.
." Yelentina deliberately looked at Yevlov's expression, and when she saw that he was normal, she became bolder in her words.
In his heart, Yevlov regarded Yang Mingzhi as his savior. Without him, the surviving brothers would have been buried on the outskirts of Minsk. So he didn't care about Yelentina's words and echoed:
"My deputy division commander, I think you are capable of commanding a larger force. Now you should think about your future. Your superiors will definitely give you similar choices in the future. Especially for Belarus, you have achieved great achievements in the battles you commanded.
, enough to win the title of Hero of the Soviet Union several times, as well as a lot of medals and bonuses."
They talked a lot, and Yang Mingzhi listened. He was very conflicted in his heart. Should he become a Soviet citizen in order to be a high-ranking official and get a good salary? Or should he do it for the sake of the future and the cause of liberating the motherland?
"I understand what you said. I will continue to consider this matter."
Yang Mingzhi changed the topic, and there was a girl beside him. Natasha, she was also the sniper hero in the newspaper!
This girl was mentioned by Yang Mingzhi, and everyone immediately became energetic.
"Actually, I think Natasha has already earned the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. She is a very good sniper. When we get in touch with our superiors, we must report her merits!" Yang Mingzhi said.
"That's natural. But I really want to know her future plans." Yelentina looked at the girl kindly.
"I...I want to go to school." This was what Natasha said from the bottom of her heart. "I was originally a ninth-grade student, but I dropped out of school because of the war."
The Soviet Union had ten years of compulsory education during World War II, which was a very modern measure. Natasha was actually very smart and studious, but the war caused children like her to miss school and lose their families.
Completely contrary to Soviet policy, the Nazi occupying forces only wanted these children to become slaves.
"So I have to go back to school, finish my last school year, and get my diploma. Then I'll give it a try. I also want to go to university. If possible, I want to be a teacher in the future."
"Then I should go to school!" Yang Tao said quickly.
The two girls are sniper partners and are sisters.
Carambola subconsciously stroked her belly: "People say that if the mother has no knowledge, the child will become a fool. So I must go to school for the sake of my child."
The man was so careless that he didn't pay attention. The sensitive Yelentina immediately became vigilant and looked directly at Yang Mingzhi like an eagle: "My deputy commander, please confess your mistake. I remember you made a promise."
"Me? What's wrong with me?"
Yelentina's eyes were even sharper, as if she was interrogating a class enemy: "Tell me, is your wife pregnant?"
"That's impossible!" Yang Mingzhi denied sternly. "Am I crazy? I didn't do that kind of thing. How could I let her take risks in such a difficult environment? The war will inevitably end, and by then we will
The two will make arrangements naturally. I am not a stallion in heat. If we cannot give our child a peaceful environment, we will not let him come to the world."
Everyone in his family was stunned until Yang Tao said twice: "Sister Yelentina, you are thinking too much. I was just making a metaphor and a gesture."
Everyone was happy again.
But Yang Mingzhi immediately asked: "Jelentina, I heard that you were an orphan in your childhood, which is very bad. I think you can pursue your happiness now. After the war, you have to find your partner. You also
Will be a mother."
Yelentina has experienced too much and has matured a long time ago. She nodded slowly and looked at Yevlov.
Everything was said without saying anything. Yang Mingzhi completely understood and let out a long sigh.
"The comrades-in-arms finally turned into family love, which is also a beautiful happiness." (To be continued.) u
