Zou Yi and Qi Qiangjun didn't talk a few words, and the birthday banquet had already begun.

After entering, Zou Yi found that his seat was actually arranged in the farthest place from the main table, and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something, but laughed at it.

As soon as he sat down, he saw Xia Zhilan scurrying around like a headless fly, Zou Yi immediately stood up and waved at her.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"Isn't there a name written on this sign?"

Zou Yi smiled and picked up the nameplate on the table and lit it up.

"This ......"

Xia Zhilan frowned and said unhappily: "It's the uncle again, it's hateful." ”

"Why don't I replace it for you?"

"No need to change"

Zou Yi shook his head and said, "Isn't it good here, besides, no one is happy to exchange it with anyone." ”

"But"

Xia Zhilan wanted to say something, but Zou Yi interrupted: "Okay, go over quickly, Grandpa Xia is still waiting for you." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first"

Xia Zhilan nodded helplessly, but her voice changed and said, "Wait a while, I'll come over to accompany you." ”

Looking at her departing back, Zou Yi's heart warmed, but he didn't expect this girl to have a stubborn side.

Just as Xia Zhilan was talking to him, Zou Yi obviously felt countless eyes staring at him, turning heads and ears, whispering to inquire about the origin of the voice.

The opening remarks were not short, and the host moved out all the heroic deeds of Old Man Xia in his early years like a number of treasures, and immediately said that the young people in the audience were full of enthusiasm, and they really wanted to follow the old man on the battlefield last time.

Old Man Xia finished in a few short sentences, but Xia Longbai took the manuscript and spoke on behalf of his children, and Zou Yi even doubted that the speech in his hand was not written by himself.

The next link is also the most lively part of the whole birthday banquet, singing.

The so-called singing ceremony. In fact, it is the meaning of gifts, but in ancient times, whenever a guest came to send a congratulatory gift, the recipient of the gift would open his throat and shout a sentence, so-and-so sent something, one to add to the atmosphere, and the other is also to give the gift to the long face.

Of course, this custom is not very daring to use it now, as the so-called wealth is not exposed. Who can be invited is not a person with a head and a face, and the things sent out will naturally not be bad, besides, there is no discipline inspection committee now.

Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, the current singing ceremony has also been slightly changed, not all the people who give gifts will be sung, but the object of the singing is narrowed to juniors like Zou Yi, Qi Qiangjun and Tian Hu, so that it will be. Even if someone wants to find fault, there is no way to start.

After the host announced the details of the singing ceremony, the young people twisted, and none of them dared to go up first. In the end, it was Qi Qiangjun who took the lead, to say that among these juniors, he is probably the oldest.

"Qi Qiangjun came to congratulate and presented a saber"

After the host sings. Qi Qiangjun clenched his fist towards Old Man Xia and said, "Qiangjun wishes Grandpa Xia a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity than Nanshan." This saber is the private collection of the strong army, according to research, it is the thing used by General Qi Jiguang to fight against the Japanese invaders, the so-called treasure knife with heroes, I believe that this saber is only qualified to have heroes like Grandpa Xia. ”

"Okay, the Qi family kid is good," Old Man Xia responded happily.

With Qi Qiangjun's head, everyone didn't hide it anymore, and they rushed forward one by one to offer gifts, which instantly pushed the atmosphere in the venue to a climax.

"Tian Hu came to congratulate and offered a jade ruyi"

If you want to say that this Tian Hu really has a bit of appearance, he is more than one meter and eight meters tall, compared to Zou Yi, with a white and pure face, an elegant atmosphere, and a smile on his face at that moment, anyone who sees it will can't help but praise it.

But when he saw this kid, he came to Old Man Xia's side with steps, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, he knelt on the ground without waiting for the latter to stop him, and said loudly: "Tian Hu will kowtow to Grandpa Xia three times first." ”

"If it weren't for Grandpa Xia who blocked a shot for my grandfather back then, there would be no Tian Hu today, so these three rings, I have to knock today"

"I can't help it, I can't help it"

Old Man Xia held Tian Hu's arm and wanted to lift it up, but he couldn't beat the other party, and just when the two sides were deadlocked, a voice came from the entrance of the venue.

"Tiedan, don't stop it, let the tiger knock this head"

Just when the owner of this voice appeared in front of everyone, they were all in awe, but they saw that the people at several tables around Zou Yi stood up and saluted.

Driven by curiosity, Zou Yi also looked sideways, but saw an old man who was over the age and thin body, sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed into the venue, and around him, like Wang Zhenyu, followed by dozens of soldiers with loaded guns.

"Tian Yuanbai?"

Seeing this battle, Zou Yi also guessed the identity of the person in the wheelchair, the Tian family giant, Tian Yuanbai, like Wang Zhenyu, one of the few remaining founding marshals, is also the old head of Old Man Xia.

Tian Yuanbai's arrival made Zou Yi frown, according to his level, he would not easily show up on such an occasion, but seeing that the other party was weak in qi and blood, obviously suffering from a serious illness, this situation had to rush over, and then seeing Tian Hu's excited demeanor, the ominous feeling in Zou Yi's heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"Old Chief, look at this, it's really unacceptable."

At the same time that Tian Yuanbai came, Old Man Xia immediately stood up, walked quickly to the former's side, and said with a wry smile: "You are not in good health, why did you come here in person." ”

"Ahem"

Coughing lightly, Tian Yuanbai said weakly: "I don't care about others, Tie Dan is longevity, even if I fight this old flesh and blood, I must come, this is my brother, I owe you." ”

"Old Captain"

After hearing this, Old Man Xia suddenly burst into tears, and trembled and held Tian Yuanbai's palm.

"Hu'er, come here, kowtow to your grandfather Xia"

At the insistence of the other party, Old Man Xia could only suffer Tian Hu's three rings, but the tears never stopped, and kept flowing down his cheeks.

To say that Tian Yuanbai can have such a statement, it is not without purpose, Tian Hu has already said before, Old Man Xia blocked a bullet for the former back then, if there was no such block, there may be no today's founding marshal Tian Yuanbai.

Blocking bullets is only one of the reasons, and there is also an unknown past, which has always been hidden in the hearts of the two old men, so that Tian Yuanbai feels guilty about Old Man Xia all the time.

It is said that when the confrontation between the two armies was at its most intense, as the main battalion, Tian Yuanbai naturally took the lead and rushed to the front, and in a tough battle where the enemy defended our attack, the enemy's snipers did not know how to detour to the rear of the troops.

As the saying goes, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first to capture the king, the sniper put a cold gun coldly, and saw that the bullet was about to shoot Tian Yuanbai's heart, at that time, the old man Xia happened to be standing next to the former, to say that the old man also has some kung fu in his hands, especially the ears, which are extremely sensitive, when he heard the gun body coming from afar, he didn't think about it, and directly blocked in front of Tian Yuanbai, and the bullet that should have hit Tian Yuanbai instantly pierced the shoulder blade of Old Man Xia.

Because of his serious injuries, the next battle, Old Man Xia was also unable to participate, the battle was extremely difficult, and finally under the bombardment of the enemy's heavy weapons, our army was defeated and retreated.

Old man Xia got married once during the war, and gave birth to a fat boy, this battle, was originally intended to capture the city, and then use this city as a base to raise troops, so in the rear of the large army, with many family members, the old man's wife and children are also among them.

Because of his serious injuries and coma, Old Man Xia has been staying in the medical team, although Tian Yuanbai took care of his subordinates afterwards and must take the old man's wife and children to break out safely, but under the enemy's uninterrupted bombardment, the family members in the rear have already been in chaos, and until they evacuated from the battlefield, they failed to find their mother and son.

After Old Man Xia woke up from his serious injury and knew about it, he fainted on the spot, and to this day, this hurdle is still accumulated in his heart, and he has never forgotten it. (To be continued......)
