Chapter 159 + Chapter 160
Chapter 159: Reckoning
When Chu Zheng woke up again, it was already sunset and dusk, and the sky was getting dark.
Is this the rhythm of a whole day's sleep?← Chu Zheng opened his eyes and saw the scenery outside the window, and this consciousness jumped out for the first time.
I don't know if it's because the drunkenness hasn't completely disappeared, or if I'm dazed, Chu Zheng only feels that his brain is as if it has just been refreshed, and he is still spinning in circles, unable to think about problems completely flexibly.
Until he was about to get up, he alarmed his daughter-in-law who was lying on the couch opposite.
At this time, he was sleeping on the big bed in the main room, opposite was a chaise longue, and at one end of the couch was placed an imitation Ming-style corset kang table, on which was placed an antique imitation bronze palace lamp, and the wick was recessed with a modern light bulb.
At this moment, Chu Zheng's staring eyes broke into the picture that made him sober up instantly:
His daughter-in-law Han Zihe was dressed in a Tang-style modified light gauze long skirt used as pajamas at home, with long black and soft hair that was shiny and hidden in the light, and she casually pulled her hair in a bun with a wooden hairpin, revealing her white and slender neck like a grub, adding a bit of elegance to her scholarly temperament.
Holding a blue thread-bound antique book, the pure white softness turned over the yellowed pages from time to time, and the sharp contrast of eye colors constituted a powerful impact on Chu Zheng's sight.
The curled, thick, dense eyelashes are like two puff fans casting two light shadows on the lower eyelids due to the shroud of light. The blinking of those two eyelashes, looking at Chu Zheng's eyes, seemed to be a close-up that was clearly reflected, and the inadvertent blinking easily touched Chu Zheng's heartstrings.
"Are you awake?" Han Zihe, who had been reading books and accompanying Chu Zheng, had not spoken for almost an afternoon, and the cold voice that had not appeared for a long time made her momentarily stunned.
And this sound like cool spring water, hearing Chu Zheng's ears, was refreshingly cool through his internal organs, extremely refreshing.
"The meals were all ready. If you wake up, wash up quickly, pad it for a while, and drink it again in the evening!" Han Zihe didn't give Chu Zheng any good words, but the lights in the room softened her expression, and she looked like she was coquettish.
Of course, the main reason why Han Zihe didn't get mad was that he was holding a book in his hand.
"Huh. Yesterday, we changed the time for a large group of people to have a dinner at noon tomorrow, after having a drink, and early in the morning, before they went out for morning exercises, the helicopter of the D military region parked on our tarmac here and waited for me. Chu Zheng thumped his numb legs, walked over, and squatted in front of his daughter-in-law, "What kind of book does my daughter-in-law read?" "Nine Sighs" ...... so engrossed - tsk, even if my daughter-in-law is capable, I can't even understand it!"
"Hmph, books are like medicine, and good reading can cure foolishness. ”
"What?"
It is said to be a quote from the author of the book. Han Zihe shook the "Nine Sighs" in his hand and stared at Chu Zheng with a smile, "It's better to read more books if you have nothing to do than to get drunk when you have nothing to do, isn't it?"
If it is light, it is like a jack of plug-in. It was so heavy that Chu Zheng's heart was so heavy that he didn't dare to look at each other head-on for a long time, so he could only laugh dryly.
Han Zihe looked at him like that, and sighed in his heart: "It's hard for you." It must be inseparable from the comrades-in-arms who have been with each other for so long...... But, Chu Zheng, I won't stop you from drinking, but you can't drink like crazy, you know the five of you. How much did you drink last night? Two crates of liquor! I haven't counted beer with you yet!
Don't make excuses with me, how can Meng Ming pretend to be drunk and avoid it? You can't? You say, you invited everyone to have a casual meal, is it just to get drunk?...... Let me tell you Chu Zheng, the person at the wine table, if you persuade you to drink well, you have to be responsible, you know!"
"Ah? Is there such a saying?" Chu Zheng scratched his head, his eyes blinked with surprise, and he opened widely.
Han Zihe only remembered at this time that he had moved the things on the earth, and according to the chronological division, this kind of clear regulation has not yet been popularized in this time and space.
"Don't say anything else, just talk about a few of them, if you really drink a good drink, can you feel good in your heart? Can you pass the level in your heart?...... Also, how long did it take for Team Hao to completely finish his psychotherapy? Do you dare to pour alcohol on him...... I said Colonel Chu Zheng Chu, don't you have long eyes!" Han Zihe had a lot of experience in how to divert attention without attracting attention, she pointed at Chu Zheng's chest and questioned word by word.
Chu Zheng was asked by her daughter-in-law's harsh words, sweating profusely, and said straight again and again: "Not next time, I promise not next time!"
Han Zihe saw that he was serious, so he almost patted his chest and swore an oath, so he snorted, retracted the offensive, and softened his voice: "Forget it this time, Ming'er and your team members will have a drink, and I won't restrain you......"
Pounding his eyes, seeing Chu Zheng's ecstatic eyes, Han Zihe stretched out his finger angrily, pointed at Chu Zheng's ear, picked it up and twisted it clockwise over fifty-five degrees, until Mr. Chu Zheng screamed, begging for mercy again and again, and then she dispersed most of the anger in her heart.
Tapping Mr. Chu's chin, Han Zihe swept him from top to bottom with an obviously threatening gaze, and then solemnly warned: "It's okay to be in Military Region A, after all, everyone has adapted to your habits, if you really let Ming'er drink less, everyone may not be happy, anyway, this time, I won't restrain you." But...... Mr. Chu, this is the first time you have been back to the D Military Region, right? Is this rule to be established? I don't want to wait for me to pass and see a drunkard husband, what do you say?"
"That's for sure! That's definitely not possible!" Chu Zheng clenched his fists and shook it flatteringly, which made his daughter-in-law merciful.
"However, daughter-in-law, you also know that in the development of the army, real ability is the main reason...... Uh, so, I'm going to have to work hard to make the technical stuff of drinking, and the trivial things that are still in the corner, and let them be dusty!"
Looking at Comrade Chu Zheng's assurance, which was obviously a temporary change of words, Han Zihe burst out laughing: "You, you, you just have a number in your heart! The He team looks rough and rough, and they all know to take care of themselves for their daughter-in-law, are you willing to let the family compare you to you?"
"That can't! I definitely don't want to!" Colonel Chu Zheng hurriedly raised his hand to Mingzhi.
Han Zihe smiled angrily and kicked Chu Zheng, who was leaning on the couch, glared at him and said, "Are you a joke......?" Hmph, you can say whatever you want anyway, and I can't supervise you all the time, so it's easy for you to lie to me. ”
"Am I that kind of person!" Chu Zheng heard the sound and was wronged. He hurriedly said, "Daughter-in-law, you said that you don't drink alcohol in the army? From now on, I'm definitely not going to drink so much, okay? I really can't, I can't push it away, I'll get drunk. Won't it?"
After saying three things, Chu Zheng only felt that his two lips were about to be thin, which made his daughter-in-law smile a little.
Turning his back, Chu Zheng touched the beads of sweat on his head, and a red line appeared invisibly in his heart, regulating him not to dare to drink so ruthlessly and stupidly again.
Chapter 160: Military Salute
Because the next day's gathering was with the members of his own brigade -- three squads and about 30 people, Chu Zheng specially booked a box in the military region hotel under the jurisdiction of the military reception center, and the location was not far away, and he walked out of the gate of the army. It's a hundred or ten meters away.
**I had already gotten together with Chu Zheng once, so for this dinner, he naturally played the role of an atmosphere adjuster to help reduce some of the sorrows of parting.
The main reason is that the members of this dinner party are a group of energetic and emotionally vivid young men, and there are many people, so the atmosphere at the table this time is obviously much more lively and lively.
Chu Zheng concisely said the opening remarks, and the banquet began, and those in the team who like to take the lead and have a lively brain come up with many bad ideas. Bringing their comrades-in-arms one by one came over to toast, but in fact, they were the ones who coaxed the seedlings.
Chu Zheng is a person who can let go, and with his daughter-in-law's early pardon, naturally he will not refuse, and he looks like he is about to pour all his little cubs back under the table and let them know what a captain is.
This is also the ** meeting machine. Seeing that the group of wine on the table was almost drunk, he hurriedly shouted at everyone to start with the hot dishes that came up - only when they had their full stomachs could they fight the wine table again!
Between pushing the cups and changing the lamps, the atmosphere was pushed to the highest tide, and the players below put their hands together at the corners of their mouths and shouted: "Captain, you still haven't made a parting speech?"
"Hey, didn't Lao Tzu already say the opening sentence just now?" It's a massive number of people like Chu Zheng. Under the tactics of the people and the sea of the team members under his command, they also drank a little high.
"Can that be the same, Captain?!, can you let us eat and drink well and say goodbye to you?"
"That's it, Captain, are you insincere? Why do you have to say a few words from your heart to us?"
"That's right, Captain, you can't be stingy, you brought us out, you're going to be transferred, why don't you have to give us an explanation! If you don't say anything else, it's not difficult to say a few words, right?"
"That's right, that's right, Captain, Captain!
"Oh, one, one, one, captain, captain!"
“......”
"Okay! Then I'll make two sentences!" Chu Zheng stood up leisurely in the call of the team members one after another, held the edge of the table with one hand, and pointed the team members present with the other, and said with a smile, "Hey, stinky boys! I don't know if you are Lao Tzu! You bastard boys, on weekdays, you don't scold me behind your back, right?"
Tacitly looking at each other, Chu Zheng and his team members all laughed.
"Hmph, when my daughter-in-law came over, did you bunnies still want her to be a fierce girl, and they wanted her to rectify me every day?...... Hehe, let you down, didn't you?! How nice my daughter-in-law is! I'm so angry that you guys can't ?...... Hey, let's raise a glass together, let's have another drink together, even if, even if I let you know that the captain's skills are superior, come!"
Chu Zheng took the lead, and when he drank it, the ** on the side couldn't cry or laugh: This old Chu was really drunk, and he made a good parting speech, and he made a speech by his daughter-in-law, not to mention, just drink a glass of wine, if you want to find a name, look for it, what is "the skill of the captain of the knowledge"? It's just chaotic!
"Okay! You bunnies are also full of joy! Since you are so happy, captain, I will give you a pleasure! From now on, your captain and I will not be dangling in front of your eyes! I will not be angry with you again!
This meal I invite everyone to eat, I think everyone knows, let's talk about it, what kind of dinner! This is the casual meal I invite everyone to eat!
However, if I had said that from the beginning, without talking about you, I would not have been able to swallow it myself!
But as the saying goes, there is no banquet that will not be dispersed when a pergola is built for thousands of miles! This sentence rests on our soldiers, and it is the sentence that everyone is familiar with -- the soldiers of the iron-beaten camp and flowing water!
Before, our gang flowed together. That's fate! But nothing remains the same in this world, everyone is in flux! No, from now on, you will captain me. It's about to flow out of our A Military Region...... Whether we are emotionally reluctant or not, it is a very normal thing.
Originally, I didn't want to talk about this, it sounds weird and sad, it's not what we guys should be! Since you asked for this, I will also say it, and since I have said it, let's be more formal.
Here, I'm going to say goodbye to you, and I don't say much about it, a thousand words are in the wine! Hehe, will we meet again if we are fated! Come, everyone will raise their glasses again, let's go again!
Chu Zheng.lick.lick.lick.corner of mouth. With a smile, he buckled the bottom of the glass on the table, counted it as a toast, tilted his head, and drank the wine again.
"Captain, I, we'd rather you stay in Military Region A, stay here and continue to bully us!" I don't know who among the team members shouted such a sentence, which made Chu Zheng, who was swallowing wine, pause.
"Bastard boy, it's not promising, where are you talking nonsense? Our captain has a bright future! If you really can't bear to be a captain, try harder. Strive for you to make progress too, and then become our captain's soldier again!" a slightly older veteran slapped the man who spoke, and he said it simply and truthfully. But there were still tears on his innocent face.
"Hahaha, good job, this is my large team of soldiers, this is the spirit of the cubs brought out by my Chu Zheng! You guys, learn from your seniors!" Chu Zheng put down his wine glass and laughed. "Come, here are the gentlemen, all pick up the cup for Lao Tzu, and fight for another three hundred rounds!"
Under Chu Zheng's grinning greeting, the atmosphere of the box returned to lively and cheerful, as for how much of the hidden depression was in this superficial excited mood, it is unknown.
When the banquet came to an end, Chu Zheng stared at his team members and waved his hand: "Every time it is disbanded, it is Lao Tzu who watches you monkeys run away in a hurry, this time, Lao Tzu has to be like this! You retreat first! Well, this is an order!"
Chu Zheng looked at the group of players in front of him who couldn't move, and chuckled: "What's the matter? Lao Tzu hasn't left yet! Don't you take Lao Tzu as the captain? Lao Tzu's words are not good, aren't they?"
"Okay, let's all withdraw first! Our captain will only set off tomorrow! You have to be sad, it's still early! Hurry up, go back to eliminate food, and there will be training at night! I think I can hide from the laziness after eating our captain's wine! Hurry up, go, go back!" **Seeing this, hurry up and help drive people away.
He knew that Chu Zheng looked quite normal on the surface, but in fact, he was also uncomfortable at the moment.
Watching the team members walk towards the door of the box one after another, Chu Zheng didn't look sideways, looked at the backs of the team members, and asked softly: "Why don't you go?"
"I'm afraid that you will go home and be cleaned up by your sister-in-law in a while, so I will explain to you so that you can be cleaned up a little lighter. Looking at Chu Zheng's side face, he smiled.
"Lizheng!" Suddenly, the team members who had already walked to the gate stopped, and I don't know who shouted, this group of young, strong and energetic soldiers, neatly arranged the formation, and stood in three rows in unison.
"Turn back!-salute!" the thirty people shouted in unison, and then saluted Chu Zheng in unison.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Chu Zheng suddenly found that he could see the tears flashing in front of his eyes.
Drinking alcohol before didn't make his hands tremble, but now, his hands trembled and held on to the edge of the table, and it took almost all his strength to make him stand up and stand firmly.
Staring closely at the team members in front of him who had not let go of his hand for a long time, Chu Zheng quickly sorted out his military uniform, and then he took a deep breath, raised his right hand vigorously, and returned his sincere military salute to his own team members.
