Although there were some unpleasant encounters with Lu Wei yesterday, Zhou Tao, as the commander of the independent division, still had to entertain the guests. This time, Lu Wei did not sell his face, and said that he was not feeling well.

It just so happened that Zhou Min didn't want to see him either. organized a family banquet for Zhou Tao. Zhou Min is trying to get close to Kong Lingwei through this simple family banquet.

There were only 4 people at lunch: Zhou Tao, Li Ruyu, Kong Lingwei, and Zhou Min.

Zhou Min asked with a puzzled expression, "Brother, where is Wei Mo?"

"He has a task on his side, so it's inconvenient for him to come. ”

"That's a pity, he can't enjoy the delicious food on this table. ”

Zhou Min enthusiastically introduced Li Ruyu to Kong Lingwei.

"Little viagra, this is my future sister-in-law Li Ruyu, you can call her Sister Ruyu, the commander of the health company of our independent division, and the director of the field hospital, Sister Ruyu has superb medical skills, and she is a high-achieving student who came back from studying in the United States, not comparable to me. ”

Kong Lingwei was surprised by Li Ruyu's appearance, such a beautiful woman, she hadn't seen it for a long time.

For beauties, Kong Lingwei has always had a good attitude. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to shake hands with Li Ruyu, and said, "Sister Ruyu met for the first time, and I am very happy to see you. ”

Then she looked at Zhou Tao again and said, "Master Zhou is really blessed, the future lady is so beautiful." ”

Zhou Tao was also very happy to hear her praise Li Ruyu for her beauty. He smiled and said, "I also think I'm very blessed." After speaking, he glanced at Li Ruyu happily, which made Li Ruyu blush.

"The dishes are ready, let's eat. I don't think I've eaten such a big meal in half a year. ”

Although there are only four people to eat, there are 10 main dishes on the table, which are the top ten famous dishes in Henan, which are sweet and sour soft boiled fish baked noodles, fried herring head and tail, fried purple crispy pork, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, peony swallow vegetables, grilled wide belly, Bianjing roast duck, fried eight pieces, clear soup abalone, scallion grilled mutton, plus nourishing soup.

Zhou Min's favorite dish is fried purple crispy pork. This dish is said to have been founded in the Ming Dynasty, because the taste is crispy, the way to eat is similar to the roast duck, the chef of Kaifeng in the late Qing Dynasty used purple crispy meat instead of barbecue to present Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, won the praise of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then became a traditional famous dish in Henan after circulation. The purple crispy meat on the plate is brown and yellow in color, smooth and shiny, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fat but not greasy. Zhou Min's eyes lit up, and his saliva was about to flow out.

Kong Lingwei naturally knew that the Zhou family was also a famous family in Shanghai with abundant capital, and she was very surprised to hear Zhou Min say that she hadn't eaten such a dish for half a year. It should be easy for a family like theirs to eat these dishes. She couldn't help asking, "What, Xiaomin, can't you usually eat it?"

"How can you eat so well in normal times, we are in a military camp, you can't open a small stove for me, I usually eat with the soldiers. Because you and the commissioner came, my brother held a welcoming banquet for you. Now it is also through your light that I can eat such a good dish. This money, you still have to save some money, and the most expensive thing to fight a war is money. The savings can subsidize military expenses and compensate for wounded and sacrificed soldiers. I have to eat more today, I was chased and killed by devils some time ago, I went into the forest every day, and I hardly ate a good meal. Zhou Min recalled the days in Wild Wolf Valley, which was simply not human.

Li Ruyu is like a big sister next door, taking care of Zhou Min and Kong Lingwei. kept picking vegetables for the two, and gave Kong Lingwei a bowl of soup and said: "I heard Zhou Tao say that you are injured, drink more soup, there are wolfberries, jujubes, sea cucumbers, and supplements in the soup." ”

This meal was very comfortable for all 4 people. He only talks about family life, not politics, and does not talk about state affairs.

This is a very novel experience for Kong Lingwei, who used to eat with other people as a flatterer. When eating with elders like her aunt and brother-in-law, she has to behave and be cute to make the elders happy.

And today's meal with peers is not flattering to her, but has a common topic. This made Kong Lingwei feel very relaxed, and he especially wanted to stay in Henan for a while longer.

After eating, Zhou Min and Kong Lingwei wandered around the station together, watching the training of recruits, the veterans shooting and stabbing, and slowly the two walked to the stream. Listening to the sound of the stream, Kong Lingwei said: "It's really comfortable here, Xiaomin, your sister-in-law is really beautiful." ”

"That's not it, my brother, the guy who is above the top, is in love with Sister Ruyu. The first time I saw her, I was amazed. The ancients said that there is Yan Ruyu in the book. I read my sister-in-law and knew that Yan Ruyu in the book came out. ”

Before going to bed at night, the two had a midnight chat. Kong Lingwen knocked on the side and asked Zhou Min about the relationship between him and the Eighth Route Army.

"Xiaomin, I have always lived in the south, and this is my first time in the north. Actually, I'm very curious about what kind of team the Eighth Route Army is?"

Hearing her ask, Zhou Min was slightly vigilant in his heart. It seems like a simple question, but in fact there is a hidden mystery. No matter how you say it, Kong Lingwei is also a person who has been active in the center of these politicians, and he still has some political acumen.

Zhou Min pondered, organized the language and said: "The Eighth Route Army is a particularly disciplined team, and there is no such army in Chinese history. They have three major disciplines and eight major attentions, and the three major disciplines are to obey the command in all actions, not to take a stitch from the masses, and to return all seizures to the public. The eight points of attention are to speak kindly, to buy and sell fairly, to pay back borrowed things, to compensate for damaged things, not to beat or curse people, not to damage crops, not to molest women, and not to abuse prisoners. They have a very good relationship with the local people. In the winter of the 27th year of the Republic of China, I spent a few months in the 125th base area of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei, and I will tell you what I saw and heard there. ”

Kong Lingwei's eyes widened with curiosity, and he nodded again and again.

"That day, as soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a very dilapidated house. All that greeted you were white cloth and gray-blue military uniforms. There was also a pungent smell of disinfectant water, and then a nurse came and said I was injured and fainted. I didn't know who I was at the time, and they assumed that I had lost my memory from a shell that had hurt my head.

Later, I stayed in the Eighth Route Army. I usually help write a big-character poster and buy something or something. I saw the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army helping the common people to carry water and chop firewood, and they would help the common people no matter what difficulties they had.

The devils in North China always went to the village to sweep, and when they were sweeping, the Eighth Route Army would organize the common people to run into the mountains. Each sweep is no less than peeling off a layer of skin for the local people. The devils are very hateful, and sometimes they can't find food in the people's homes, so they will burn down the houses.

I still remember that once I encountered a devil sweep, I worked with the Eighth Route Army to help the people transfer, and in the cave in the mountain, there was a group of people who were fake people by devils, and I saw through it. But I was also injured because of this, and I was stabbed in the chest by the devil's hidden weapon. It was almost over, but he was rescued. ”

Kong Lingwei listened to Zhou Min's simplicity, but he could also imagine the danger, he was stabbed in the chest, and it was a blessing to be alive.

Zhou Min thought for a while and said: "The brain circuits of the Communist Eighth Route Army are not the same as others. ”

"Brain circuits?" Kong Lingwei had never heard of this word, and his face was questioning.

Zhou Min hurriedly explained: "Brain circuits refer to the thoughts in the brain. ”

Kong Lingwei clapped his hands and said: "This word is interesting, you go on, how can it be different?"

"Each of them has a strong faith. ”
