Chapter 298 Choosing a Date of Marriage

Chu Lao was very happy to see his old subordinates, and he was very interested in talking, and asked them about their situation one by one, and several of them answered one by one, and before he knew it, it was almost eleven o'clock at noon. Chu Shijie knew his father's physical condition, thinking that he would have to meet with the Bai family at noon, and he had to let his father rest, so he gave a look to several generals, and of course they understood what it meant, and after saying a few words that Chu Lao must take care of his body and blessings, he got up and said goodbye.

Old Chu really felt tired at this time, waved his hand and said, "Shijie, you can send them on my behalf." ”

For these generals, having Chu Shijie, a member of the Central Military Commission and chief of the General Staff, is already very face-saving, and he tried to let Chief Chu stay, but Chu Shijie still insisted on sending several generals to the front yard with the lion Chu Guoqiang, got into the car, and waved goodbye.

The old man didn't sleep much, so Chu Lao woke up after taking a nap on the recliner in the study, and just at this time, Bai Lao's family also arrived. Chu Shijie took Chu Yao, Qin Zihe and others to the front yard to greet them, and Chu Lao also asked the medical staff to support them to the door of the back house to greet them.

The friendship between Chu Lao and Bai Lao can be traced back to the period of the Red Army's Long March, when the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army set off from Jinggang Mountain, they were in a company, Chu Lao was the company commander, Bai Lao was the company instructor, their friendship was more solid after countless vicious battles and arduous struggles, after arriving in northern Shaanxi, Chu Lao was already the head of the Red Army, Bai Lao was his regimental political commissar, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression fought devils, Chu Lao was the division commander, Bai Lao was still his division political commissar, until the time of the Liberation War, the two were separated to lead an army, After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1955, when the title was awarded, Chu Lao was awarded the rank of general, and Bai Lao was awarded the rank of lieutenant general because of his long-term political work, although he was transferred to the Second Machine Department as a minister. Despite the vicissitudes of time, the friendship between the two has always existed, so as soon as Chu Lao proposed to Qin Zihe, Bai Lao agreed without hesitation.

Bai Lao is 88 years old this year, two years younger than Chu Lao, but his physical condition is much worse than Chu Lao, and now he can't walk on his own, relying on a wheelchair to walk. After the car stopped, when Bai Lao was carried out of the car by the medical staff, Chu Shijie hurriedly stepped forward to support the wheelchair and called excitedly: "Uncle Bai"

Although Bai Lao was unable to move, his thinking was very clear, and he was very relieved to see Chu Shijie, patted the back of Chu Shijie's hand and sighed: "There is someone behind Old Chu."

Bai Jingshan and Bai Ling also got out of the car, Chu Guoqiang, Chu Yao and Qin Zihe also hurriedly stepped forward to salute, when Bai Jingshan introduced Bai Lao's future grandson-in-law Qin Zihe, Qin Zihe hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Bai Lao looked at the handsome and tall Qin Zihe, his cloudy eyes couldn't help flashing, and he nodded and said, "Not bad"

Although the sentence "good" is only two short words, it represents Bai Lao's recognition of Qin Zihe

Due to their advanced age and physical reasons, although they both live in the capital, they have not seen each other for more than 5 years, when Bai Lao was pushed by medical staff, accompanied by Chu Shijie and others, when he saw Chu Lao in front of the back house, the hands of the two century-old men were tightly clasped together, and their eyes were suddenly moist

After arriving at Chu Lao's study, the two old men were still embarrassed, and Chu Lao said very emotionally: "Lao Bai, why did you come here in person when your body is like this, the children's affairs are in charge of Shijie and Jingshan."

Bai Lao said: "Lao Chu, I want to see you while I can still move, otherwise I will go to see Marx one day, and we will not even have the opportunity to meet in this life."

One sentence made the two excited, Bai Lao was telling the truth, they could go to see Marx at any time at their age, and they were infinitely emotional. The children of both sides knew that the physical condition of the two old people could not be too excited, but it was not easy for the two old partners to meet once, and they both held back after persuading each other.

Chu Lao and Bai Lao have been immersed in reminiscing about the war-torn years of struggle, and the others couldn't interject at all, so they could only listen quietly. It wasn't until Lei Haoran came over and gently told him in Chu Lao's ear that the meal was ready, that Chu Lao stopped and said to Bai Lao: "Lao Bai, the meal is ready, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's have a drink together, and talk while drinking."

"Okay, talk while drinking" Bai Lao agreed very happily. According to Bai Lao's physical condition, the doctor absolutely forbade him to drink, and Bai Lao's full-time doctor couldn't help but glance at Bai Jingshan when he heard this, meaning that he hoped that he could persuade Bai Lao. Bai Jingshan also wanted to persuade his father, but it was rare to see his father so happy today, and he didn't say anything after enduring it.

The group followed Chu Lao and Bai Lao towards the restaurant, Bai Jingshan deliberately fell behind and gently pulled his father's full-time doctor, Dr. Zhang, who stopped willingly. Bai Jingshan asked softly: "Doctor Zhang, you tell me the truth, can you drink some wine with my father's current physical condition?" ”

Doctor Zhang said with a bitter face: "According to Bai Lao's current physical condition, the harm of drinking alcohol is very great, but wine can relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, and drinking less will not be too much of a problem."

"Hmm" Bai Jingshan heard that he had a bottom in his heart, so he quickly followed.

The wine cup is a cup of five-dollar wine, Chu Shijie poured a cup of 60-year-old Wulang liquid for Chu Lao and Bai Lao respectively, capped the wine bottle and handed it to the waiter to take it away, it was not easy for his father and Bai Lao to see each other, he couldn't persuade them face to face, he could only use this method to signal that they could only drink one cup, Bai Jingshan saw Chu Shijie's actions and immediately relieved.

After Chu Lao and Bai Lao clinked glasses, one of them took a sip of wine, and after snorting it, Bai Lao said: "Old Chu, although this wine is good, I don't think it's as good as Lao Bai Gangan, who we drank in the cellar back then."

Chu Lao said: "Yes, I also feel this way, come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables" said and sandwiched a piece of tofu for Bai Lao.

After eating a few bites of food, he turned to the topic, and Chu Lao said: "Lao Bai, while we can still move, when do you think the marriage between the two of them will be done?" ”

Bai Lao said: "Well, the sooner this happens, the better."

At this time, Bai Jingshan said: "Uncle Chu, since their marriage has been decided, it is better to do it sooner rather than later, I think they will be married on the eleventh day of this year, what do you think?" ”

Chu Lao was very happy when he heard it, and said: "Okay, just do it."

Bai Ling's mother, Liang Xueqing, said at this time: "We Ling'er mean that we want to set up a family in Beijing, you see? ”

When Chu Yao heard that their thoughts were the same as Qin Zihe's, she said, "No problem, everything needed for Zihe and Bai Ling's marriage will be handled by me."
