"Liu Yan, after breakfast, you inform the cadres above the company level to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, I will go to the corps tomorrow to attend a two-day meeting, and then go directly from the corps to China to handle official business, and visit relatives by the way. You just need to know about visiting relatives, and you don't have to explain it to everyone. ”

"Yizhang, is this return to China related to Yutong?"

Liu Yizhang nodded, but did not reveal the slightest information about Wu Yutong's pregnancy and preparation for marriage. He knew that no matter how close Liu Yan was with him, there were some things that he couldn't know, not that he couldn't believe him, but that some things could only be understood but not spoken, and some things were not even allowed to be understood.

It was already more than 10 o'clock in the morning after Liu Yizhang finished the meeting.

At the meeting, he made detailed arrangements for the work of the 535th Regiment, and during his return to China, Li Wenzhong concurrently served as the regiment's commander.

Li Wenzhong expressed his position in public, "Commander Liu, your trip back to China this time is only more than 20 days, and aside from the time on the road and to the East China Military Region to handle official business, there is not much time for you to reunite with your family, so you can enjoy this short time in China and put aside the advance of the regiment." You can rest assured, I will work with you to implement all the work you have just deployed, and when you come back, we promise to hand over to you a better 535 regiment. ”

Near noon, Liu Yizhang came to Xinfengli to say goodbye to Wu Xiangsen, Wu Xiangsen did not leave Liu Yizhang for lunch, but asked him to go to the field hospital to accompany Mu Yan and Wei Ji to eat together, when parting, Wu Xiangsen held Liu Yizhang's hand and told him repeatedly, "Yizhang, whether in the corps or on the day of returning home, this requires you to deal with various affairs independently, Mu Yan and I can't help you, you must be humble and cautious in dealing with people, think twice before doing anything!" When you return home, see your parents and say hello to them on my behalf. ”

Liu Yizhang was very moved by Wu Xiangsen's advice, he knew that Wu Xiangsen regarded himself as his child from the heart, in fact, he disagreed with Wu Xiangsen's instructions, he was very independent since he was a child, and his ability to adapt to the environment was super strong, but he still said to Wu Xiangsen sincerely, "Uncle, I have written down what you just taught, and sooner or later I will leave you and my aunt to face the society independently." You can rest assured, I don't talk much, the problem of saying too much will not happen to me, I haven't seen Yutong for more than two months, it's okay when I fight, once I'm free, my heart is very uncomfortable, I also comfort myself that a good man is ambitious, but I still can't help but miss her, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I really want to fly to Yutong immediately and hug her well......"

Liu Yizhang knows that in front of Wu Xiangsen, everything between him and Yutong is transparent, Wu Xiangsen not only will not laugh at his infatuation with Yutong, but will trust himself more in his heart, Liu Yizhang often warns himself that he must perfectly handle his relationship with Wu Xiangsen and Wu Yutong, not the slightest carelessness, let alone have a handle in their hands, otherwise it will be like Liu Yan warned himself, all efforts and struggles will come to naught!

Knowing that Liu Yizhang returned to China to marry Wu Yutong, Liu Yizhang will belong to Wu Yutong from now on, at least in terms of ethics and law, Mu Yan and Wei Ji are unwilling, but this is the reality, and they have to accept it.

Mu Yan and Wei Ji both expected that Liu Yizhang would definitely come over for lunch, and the two of them started to prepare early, Wei Ji said to Mu Yan while picking vegetables, "Auntie, the third brother will go back to marry Wu Yutong this time, although the wedding will not be held for the time being, but the third brother will definitely take Wu Yutong back to the Liu family compound to visit his father and mother." It's already big news that the third brother went back to Shuangliu Village to visit relatives, and now he is still going back with a daughter-in-law, isn't Shuangliu Village frying? Everyone else is easy to say, I'm worried about Wang Hui, she and the third brother are not good for a day or two, you have to tell my third brother to appease Wang Hui in a while, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Wei Ji, you girl is getting more and more sensible, you are right, your third brother and Wang Hui are cousins, and they are not allowed to marry in law, and you are the only one who knows that they are good in Shuangliu Village, even Liu Xingzhang and Liu Huizhang don't know, this is very in line with your third brother's consistent style of doing things, you see that he comes to me every day, did you hear him say a few words to me?" Sometimes he didn't say a word from the time he came, and those who didn't know thought he was dumb. ”

Saying that, Mu Yan and Wei Ji both laughed, and Wei Ji echoed, "Auntie, I have long been accustomed to the third brother's quiet personality, I dare to say that in the entire Liu family compound, the relationship between me and the third brother is the closest." But even so, if you hadn't told me the news that he was going back to China, I would still be kept in the dark, and he didn't mention a word about Wu Yutong to me, I also knew it from you. Auntie, speaking from the heart, the third brother didn't tell me these things, I wasn't angry at all, I knew that he didn't distrust me by hiding it from me, but was protecting me, for example, he silently recorded Lu You's words to me yesterday, just to remind me that he and I are cousins and can't intermarry, let me die for him, you see it's just that, he doesn't say it directly, it's just that I'm afraid I can't bear it, this is my third brother. Doing things like this since he was a child, to his relatives, extremely kind, to the bad guys can be said to be ruthless, not much to say, just to die in the inside, in Liushui Township, his nickname of the little overlord in Hedong is known to everyone. Wang Shoujiang, is the big man who often comes to the hospital, in fact, he is also a ruthless master, his parents died early, lack of discipline, but in front of the third brother, he is a soft noodle, no temper at all, before joining the army he was the militia company commander in the village, and it was just a name, what I really said was still my third brother, I remember the summer before last, our village and Huoying Village because of the water canal watering and caused a fight, at first a few villagers fought, and finally evolved into a group fight between the militia of the two villages, most of these militiamen are young people with strong bloodThe two sides are separated by more than ten meters of canals, throwing stones at each other, Huoying Village is full of people, stones are thrown like raindrops, several militiamen in our Shuangliu Village have broken their heads, Wang Shoujiang has no way at all, he will only ride on the branches and scold loudly, and from time to time complain about the people in the village, the battle is fought from the afternoon to the dark. My third brother came back from the town to learn martial arts, heard Xigu say that there was a war in the east of the village, he immediately ran to the canal embankment, at this time Huoying Village completely prevailed, arrogant and arrogant, while looking at us with a slingshot to shoot stones, while shouting and humiliating us, the third brother didn't say a word, picked up a basin to protect his head, and ran to the opposite side with his bare hands, Guo Mingkui, the militia company commander of Huoying Village, did not recognize the third brother, so he threw a stone and smashed it on the thigh of the third brother, the third brother threw the basin to the ground, and chased after him like crazy, Only then did the other party see that the third brother was coming, so he turned around and ran home. The third brother has been chasing after him, chased to the entrance of Huoying Village, pressed Guo Mingkui to the ground and beat him violently, and later heard that he kicked the other party's ribs five or six times, and the third brother didn't say a word from beginning to end. After beating people, the third brother glared at Wang Shoujiang fiercely, in fact, his relationship with Wang Shoujiang has always been good, Wang Shoujiang is a typical two-faced, in front of Daddy Liu and the third brother, the rules are decent, the mouth is sweet like eating honey, and the attitude towards people who don't need him is particularly arrogant, you see that every time he sees me, he is very enthusiastic, as if I am her own sister, that is because he knows that the third brother loves me the most, so he desperately slaps me, and wants me to say good things for him in front of the third brother, although I look down on him from the bottom of my heart, but on the surface, I have to go, After all, he is the adopted son of Daddy Liu......"

Wei Ji was talking about Liu Yizhang's past with emotion, and Liu Yizhang pushed the door and broke in. Mu Yan pretended to be angry and said, "Yizhang, when you enter the woman's room, you don't know how to knock on the door, it's too unruly." ”

Liu Yizhang didn't say anything, handed over a piece of bacon given by Wu Xiangsen to Wei Ji, and said with a smile, "Wei Ji, I'll do it all in a while, so that you can satisfy your hunger." ”

Wei Ji jumped up happily, "Auntie, how is it, I just said, the third brother loves me the most." ”

Mu Yan joked, "It's good now, I have Wei Ji and I in my heart, and it's hard to say that I'm married to Yutong, men all marry daughters-in-law and forget their mothers." Liu Yizhang did not refute, and silently poured himself a bowl of wine.

......

When Liu Yizhang and Wang Shiguang arrived at the Corps, Secretary Zhan Desheng had been waiting for a long time. He arranged for Liu Yizhang and Wang Shiguang to live in a large air-raid shelter, which already housed more than a dozen senior commanders attending the meeting, and Wang Shiguang was very familiar with them and warmly greeted them one by one.

Cao Mingkui, the commander of the 44th Army, held Wang Shiguang's hand and complimented, "Chief of Staff Wang, why didn't Lao Wu come?" Your 77th Army blocked the United Nations Army in Muluyuan for 13 days, but you have made the first contribution of the Fifth Campaign! ”

Wang Shiguang said modestly, "The 77th Army is fighting a blocking war, and your 44th Army is fighting a movement war. Commander Wu said, let me learn from the 44th Army, I hope Commander Wu will give me advice! ”

Cao Mingkui shook his head and said, "Lao Wu is really too modest, in the corps, our two armies cooperate the most. In the Battle of Toxinli, your 77th Army was responsible for the main attack, and our 44th Army was responsible for sending reinforcements. In this fifth campaign, your 77th Army not only made a good start in Muluyuan, but near the end of the battle, you sent two regiments to march more than 200 kilometers in a hurry, and promptly relieved the trapped siege of the corps' front headquarters, which helped my 44th Army a lot. It is said that far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, but your 77th Army has done it! ”

After talking for a long time, Cao Mingkui noticed Liu Yizhang, who had been standing behind Wang Shiguang, and he asked in a low voice, "Chief of Staff Wang, the one behind you is your secretary?" ”

Wang Shiguang turned around and called Liu Yizhang to him, and introduced, "Commander Cao, I am not qualified to use him as a secretary, he is the secretary of Deputy Commander Dong Zheng, and now the 77th Army is on temporary duty to train and serve as the commander of the 535th Regiment, his name is Liu Yizhang......

Before Wang Shiguang finished his introduction, Cao Mingkui took two steps forward, put his hands on Liu Yizhang's shoulders, and said loudly, "You are Liu Yizhang who defeated the 25th Regiment of the US ace twice in Seed Mountain and Wei Danli?" My old Cao has been friends with you for a long time, and today I finally see the deity! ”

Liu Yizhang pulled out his hand and gave a military salute to Cao Mingkui, and then said loudly, "Hello Commander Cao, I am Liu Yizhang, and I am the secretary of Deputy Commander Dong." Yizhang is an ordinary volunteer soldier, and he really doesn't dare to be praised by Commander Cao! ”
