Chapter 38: The Wedding Ring
The eyes of the other three people next to the dining table were all focused, and Ren Laifeng proudly flicked the note in his hand, "Everyone, this is the letter Zhong Baohua sent me." This means that our artillery company and Kuaitu company have crossed the New Yellow River and joined the large army in Midian Village! ”
"Really? That's great! The three people present clapped their hands.
"Well, tonight we will go to the Night Exploration Hall, kill Yoshikawa Sadasa, and go back to Midian Village tomorrow!"
After eating, it was already dark, and the four of them left the restaurant and walked to Xufu Street. Kaifeng was a well-known metropolis throughout China, and although it was under the control of the Japanese army, it continued to flourish. High-rise buildings are lined up, street lights are bright, and people come and go on the streets. Ren Laifeng and Feng Wenying walked casually on the street with the flow of people, anyway, there was time, and he was not in a hurry.
Next to it was a jewelry store, and Feng Wenying looked inside curiously with a side face. Ren Laifeng was happy in his heart, and pulled Feng Wenying's little hand, and the two of them stepped into the jewelry store.
A shopkeeper in a robe and a horse coat who looked to be in his fifties greeted him personally, "What do the two guests want?" We are a century-old store here, and there is absolutely nothing to say in terms of credibility. What do you want? ”
"Let's take a look." Feng Wenying was a little embarrassed. She really didn't want to come in, but she just looked curiously and casually when she passed by, but she was pulled in the door by Ren Laifeng.
"Okay, please take a look. Let me tell you about our products. These are rings, which come in solid gold, pure silver, and diamonds. If you like anything, you can try wearing it. It doesn't matter if you want it or not, try it and don't care. The shopkeeper said and took out a pure gold ring with a delicate pattern from the counter, and a diamond ring of a good size.
Feng Wenying looked at the ring in front of him and hesitated a little, and Ren Laifeng was next to him and instigated: "Try it, wear + look good or not?" ”
With Ren Laifeng beside her to persuade, Feng Wenying finally let go of that reserve, picked up a ring and put it on her finger and began to appreciate it. Ren Laifeng is naturally full of praise, "Beautiful, good-looking!" Yingying wears this, it's really good-looking. ”
After trying the pure gold and diamonds, I finally tried on several silver rings. The old shopkeeper has been patiently explaining from beginning to end, and he did not feel any unhappiness because Feng Wenying put down the diamond ring and tried to wear the silver ring. Ren Laifeng is quite satisfied with the old shopkeeper's attitude and behavior, he has a lot of money with him when he goes out today, as long as it is not a particularly outrageous diamond, he can afford it.
When Feng Wenying put down the last silver ring, she smiled at Ren Laifeng, "Let's go?" ”
The old shopkeeper still kept smiling, and did not show any frustration at all about working in vain. Ren Laifeng didn't leave immediately, he asked Feng Wenying: "Which one do you think is better among so many rings?" ”
Feng Wenying didn't even think about it before pointing to a pure gold ring with a beautiful shape, "This one looks good, and the size is also appropriate." ”
"Then buy this. Shopkeeper, take this to this young lady. ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then handed over the pure gold ring that Feng Wenying pointed to with a face full of Western medicine, "Miss is really good eyesight." This ring was handmade by Master Wang, the former goldsmith of the disdain. Master Wang has been working for 30 years, and only retired last year to return to his hometown. Master Wang's craftsmanship is well-known in the jewelry industry. ”
Feng Wenying's face was a little red after putting on the ring, and her eyes were a little dodgy. Ren Laifeng looked interesting, and when the shopkeeper was looking for money, he leaned into Feng Wenying's ear and whispered: "The ring is a token of love between men and women, also known as a wedding ring." You wear the ring I bought, and you're my man. Let's get married when we go back, right? ”
Feng Wenying's face turned even redder, and she touched the ring with her hand and wanted to take it off, but she didn't succeed after all. When Ren Laifeng took Feng Wenying's hand and walked out of the jewelry store, he obviously felt that the mentality of the violent woman next to him had changed. When I walked, I got closer to myself, and my voice became softer, as if I wore a ring and even my temperament became softer.
Several people returned to Midian Village, although it was already dark, but the military camp at the entrance of the village was brightly lit, and hundreds of people were surrounded at the entrance of the barracks, and it seemed that all the villagers were dressed up. What are the villagers doing at the entrance of the barracks?
Huang Guojin opened the way in front, and several people squeezed through the crowd and just wanted to enter the camp gate, but they were stopped by the doorman at the gate of the barracks, "Stop, the barracks are important, please stay!" Huang Guojingang in front wanted to get angry, but the doorman suddenly saw Ren Laifeng behind, "Hey, it's the battalion commander?" Battalion commander, please come in! The guards saluted with guns and welcomed the battalion commander back to the camp.
As soon as Ren Laifeng entered the camp gate, he was attracted by the scene in front of him. The playground used for the soldiers to train became a parking lot, full of trucks and artillery. This is the artillery company and the rapid assault company of the Flying Tiger battalion. Fortunately, the training ground left at that time was large enough, otherwise these cannons and vehicles would not have been able to stop. Looking back behind him, Ren Laifeng understood. I said what are the villagers doing here, they are looking at these trucks and cannons! Trucks in these years are not uncommon in big cities, but they are still a rarity in rural areas. Don't look at Midian Village so close to the lockdown, those villagers who don't often enter the city suddenly saw so many trucks, of course, they should be surprised to watch as a sign of respect.
This is the barracks, so it is not a matter for the people to surround the door, Ren Laifeng turned back to the camp gate and shouted loudly outside: "Folks, it's late, it's cold here, let's go back and rest!" "The villagers were talking, and few people left.
"We are the army here, and the army has the discipline of the army, so don't be surprised if you can't zoom in now!"
"No wonder, no surprise, let's not go in, just take a look here. The big guy is a car, right? Look at the true spirit. I heard that this thing doesn't need to be pulled by people or animals, and it can walk on its own. Is it true? ”
"Sir, let's take a look here and don't make trouble."
The villagers talked to Ren Laifeng, and he probably understood these words. There are too many people, and hundreds of people talk together, who can hear clearly what everyone is saying?
"Folks, if we don't leave tonight, we won't leave! It's late, it's cold outside, don't think who's freezing a cold and flu won't be worth it! Disperse, uncle, aunt, you go back and rest early. ”
The villagers finally dispersed. Ren Laifeng wiped the cold sweat on his head, and secretly sighed in his heart the difficulty of the mass work.
"Report to the battalion commander, Yao Wenlong, the commander of the rapid assault company, and Cai Gaofeng, the commander of the artillery company, come to report!" As soon as Ren Laifeng turned around, there were two heroic young officers standing side by side in front of him. It was Yao Wenlong and Cai Gaofeng.
