Chapter 227: Old Li’s Wedding! (Part )
The village was already in an uproar.
The children danced and made noises around Xiuqin, who was wearing a red dress, and asked her for wedding candies. Xiuqin just happened to share the wedding candies that Yu Ye and the political commissar had brought yesterday with the children.
"The new bride is coming, the new bride is coming."
"Riding a white horse and carrying a steel rifle, the third brother eats the rations of the Eighth Route Army. He only cares about going home to see his daughter and has no time to fight the Japanese."
The children sang nursery rhymes and followed Sister Xiuqin.
Yu Ye could hear the lively scene in the village from a distance in the kitchen.
At this moment, the tension that had been building up over him relaxed a little. Isn't this festive scene what he wanted to see most since he came to this era?
However, he hoped that everyone in this land could live in peace, without having to worry about the Japanese coming to harass and bully our people one day.
Today, all cadres at battalion and company level and above gathered at the regiment headquarters, waiting for the banquet to begin.
Zhao Gang was the witness of Li Yunlong and Xiuqin's wedding, and he spoke first: "Let's ask the newlyweds to tell us about their love story, so that we bachelors can learn from them.
Gain some experience, it will be useful sooner or later, right?"
"Yes!"
Zhao Gang's words instantly ignited the entire audience, and everyone clapped their hands to welcome Lao Li and Xiuqin to speak a few words to everyone.
There were a bunch of strong young men present. Looking around, except for Lao Li, no one else had a wife.
This sentence instantly resonated with everyone.
Yu Ye held a handful of dry-fried peanuts in his hand and assumed a standard melon-eating posture.
Lao Li was really straightforward and stood up: "Let me, Lao Li, talk about my love experience as a person who has experienced it."
When Yu Ye heard this, the corners of his mouth began to twitch.
God, I've been there.
How could Yu Ye possibly indulge Lao Li? He directly said, "Lao Li, what do you mean by experienced? Have you been through this?"
Duan Peng, who was standing by, was also a good supporting actor. He immediately stood up and said, "Yes, Captain, we can only call them over after they enter the bridal chamber."
Li Yunlong was also a thick-skinned man. He didn't feel embarrassed at all when being teased by everyone. He immediately changed his words and said, "Okay, okay, then that's halfway done."
"Let me tell you, dating requires knowing both yourself and the girl. You should make sure that the girl is interested in you before you make a move.
Our group now has more than 2,000 people, and our Lao Li is married. If any of you are unsure in the future, you can come and ask me, and I will help you estimate it. "
Yu Ye was so stunned by what he heard that he almost had the peanuts fed into his nostrils.
It was obvious that Lao Li was a coward at the time, and it was only Lao Zhao and I who forced him to do justice. How did that make me think I was experienced?
This guy is really thick-skinned.
"Old Li, for the sake of your prestige, I won't expose you. Let's toast this first bowl of wine to the newlyweds and wish them a long and happy marriage."
Li Yunlong drank it in one gulp, puff.
"Old Zhao, why the hell is this water?"
Li Yunlong said unhappily.
"Old Zhao, how can you drink water in this situation?"
Zhao Gang kept silent and looked at Lao Li with a smile.
"Captain, don't ask Lao Zhao. This is what I mean. The alcohol ban must be strictly enforced. After this period is over, I will drink with you every day."
Yu Ye said with a smile, holding up the wine bowl full of water in his hand.
"you....."
Old Li glared and was about to get angry.
"Old Li, think carefully. If you dare to kick me, our independent regiment's ammunition supply will be cut in half starting today."
As soon as Yu Ye said this, Li Yunlong was speechless.
Following Zhao Gang's words, Yu Ye picked up the wine glass in his hand again and said, "The second bowl of wine is for our sister Xiuqin. I hope she can give birth to a big fat boy for Old Li soon.
If we have seven or eight children, we can form a class!"
"Hahaha."
As soon as this witty remark was made, everyone in the audience laughed, and even Old Li, who was a little upset, became less upset.
Putting down the wine bowl, Yu Ye walked to Lao Li and said, "Lao Li, at this moment, the Japs must be keeping an eye on our independent regiment. If we slack off, they will definitely pounce on us and bite us hard.
I, Lao Yu, owe you this dinner, and I will definitely return it to you in the future.
Besides, Lao Li, I heard that drinking alcohol on the wedding night will affect your performance."
This immediately made my sister-in-law, who was listening nearby, blush.
After hearing these words, Li Yunlong's emotions instantly disappeared. He felt that his good brother had given him enough face and consideration, and had taken care of him in every aspect.
"You guys continue eating. I'll take people out to see if the comrades at each post have eaten." Yu Ye bowed to everyone, and at the same time patted the monk and Duan Peng on the shoulders, signaling them to follow him.
Today, Yu Ye has already made a division of labor with Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang is responsible for the security around the regiment headquarters, while Yu Ye is responsible for the security inside and outside the base.
With the monk and Duan Peng, the monk, with bullet chains wrapped around his body, carried the Gatling gun like a demon, and Duan Peng carried two five- or six-speed submachine guns with seven or eight magazines, which simply pushed the firepower load of a single soldier to the extreme.
Under the protection of the two of them, Yu Ye believed that he could definitely escape unscathed unless he encountered intensive heavy artillery attacks from the Japanese.
After checking all the sentry posts, Yu Ye arranged for two soldiers to drive a truck and take the three of them to a place not far from the outskirts of the sentry post.
That is the base of the 772nd Regiment.
"Captain Cheng, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble this time."
As soon as Yu Ye got off the car, he held the hand of Cheng Xiazi from the 772nd Regiment tightly. Without Cheng Xiazi leading the 772nd Regiment outside to keep an eye on it, Yu Ye really couldn't sleep well. After all, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no negligence in the condition of the independent regiment today.
"Minister Yu, it was you who brought this up. Otherwise, I, Old Cheng, would never agree to it. Li Yunlong is getting married, and I am standing guard for him. What the hell is going on?"
It can be seen that Blind Cheng is still a little emotional.
Hearing this, Yu Ye burst out laughing. Old Li had always mocked and ridiculed Blind Cheng, saying that he was teaching him how to fight the same way he taught him how to shoot a gun. Moreover, this battle at the steel plant was simply a direct mockery. Blind Cheng was already giving face to the brigade commander by not getting angry on the spot.
"Captain Cheng, I, Yu Ye, remember your good intentions. We cannot let our brothers in the 772nd Regiment suffer. Monk, please open the carriage for me and let Captain Cheng have a look."
As the monk lifted the tarpaulin and opened the trunk, Blind Cheng's eyes almost popped out.
I'm a darling!
"Captain Cheng, here are 2 - rifles and rounds of ammunition. Check them. In addition, we have arranged bowls of braised meat for your comrades on guard. Please distribute them among your comrades as you see fit."
Yu Ye stood beside the carriage and said with a smile.
The unhappiness in Cheng Xiazi's heart instantly disappeared. With all these, who would care about that emotion? If he could get so many munitions by standing guard, then Old Cheng would be willing to stand guard every day.
Blind Cheng looked at the young man in front of him with admiration and couldn't help but sigh, "Minister Yu is really open-minded."
Damn Li Yunlong, how could he have such good luck?
Blind Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
"Captain Cheng, why did you suddenly sigh?"
Blind Cheng said meaningfully: "Minister Yu, why didn't you pass through my defense zone at that time?"
Yu Ye: “…”
