Chen Jianjun finally promised Chen Ming that if he was free, he would definitely go.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Chen Ming did not delve into the reason. Whether it was Lu Huaicheng and Deputy Commander Chen who were easy to arouse his rebellion, or Zheng Yuanhai, whether they were gentle and persuasive enough, anyway, the result would have been done.

After taking a group photo with Ouyang at the Dongjiang base the next day, it was too late for Zheng Yuanhai to come back, and after gathering in Yulin with everyone, Chen Ming and Ouyang made a detour to Yangcheng, picked up their mother and rushed back to Yulin.

Contact the wedding company, arrange the master of ceremonies, and discuss the process. Preparing trivial things such as candy, melons and fruits are full of Chen Ming, the newlywed couple.

Although he has no experience, although Chen Ming is more afraid of trouble. But this kind of little sweetness that may have to be busy fighting for any brand to choose for the candy still makes Chen Ming participate willingly.

As the wedding date approached, there were more and more people in Chen Ming's family. Ouyang's relatives and friends, Chen Ming's colleagues and companions, came to the door with gifts to congratulate when they were free.

Every time someone comes, Chen Ming and the others have to greet each other with a smile. At the beginning, Chen Ming was quite excited and grateful for the blessings from everyone. But later, in addition to smiling stiffly, only the small gifts on the balcony proved Chen Ming's harvest.

Just looking at the rare and lively Tan Qiuwen's face with wrinkles coming out of her smile, Chen Ming was also a lot happier in his heart.

Three days before the wedding, Ouyang's family also came to Yulin. When the two in-laws met for the first time, Chen Ming, who was still a little apprehensive, found that things were going exceptionally smoothly.

In the private room of the hotel booked by Chen Ming, the old people on both sides chatted very happily. Ouyang Qiu's family, who were still a little worried about making trouble, also seemed to have received a warning from the old man, and behaved very peacefully.

The day before the wedding, Chen Ming got up to wash up, and hurried out after breakfast. Take the fighters on duty who live in the crew's quarters to the repair plant, ready to receive the warship.

Although the comrades of the base maintenance plant are particularly reassured, the inspection that should be done must be done. Take the fighters around the dock to see if the bottom of the warship has been cleaned of the seabed attachments, and finally board the ship.

In general, returning from a long voyage. The most obvious area to deal with is hull descaling, which is the marine build-up on the bottom of the vessel. Entrainment of a large number of attachments for a long time will not only affect the speed of the ship, but also accelerate the corrosion of the hull for a long time.

However, there are many warships in China that have been in service for more than 50 or 60 years, and Chen Ming, who was doing the hull inspection for the first time today, really felt the spirit of craftsmanship after seeing the achievements of the comrades in the maintenance plant. In addition to the necessary descaling, the comrades of the maintenance plant also repainted a layer of anticorrosive paint very intimately.

After the inspection, sign the handover sheet to confirm, and finally the ship is launched. Then Chen Ming and others took over, and the warship drove back to the military port dock and docked.

After doing all this, half a day passed.

Chen Ming, who was hungry, returned home and habitually took out the key to open the door. It's just that when I entered the door, I suddenly had twenty pairs of eyes staring straight at me.

Colleagues from the Dongjiang base headed by Zheng Yuanhai, as well as colleagues from the Yulin base headed by Xiao Weiguo, plus some military wives, the elderly, and children. Gathering in this small hut, Chen Ming once wondered how these people were squeezed down.

"Why are the big guys gathered so together?"

Chen Ming stopped changing his shoes and asked with a smile.

"I know you're going to pick up the ship today, and you're not home for a long time. You're getting married for the first time, and you don't have much experience. Isn't the big guy here to help, if there is anything missing, there is still half a day to make up for it. ”

Seeing her son's stunned appearance, Tan Qiuwen hurriedly walked over and slapped Chen Ming while explaining.

"Thank you guys. Ouch, Mom is relieved to see that you can have such good colleagues and friends. ”

"Thank you, everyone, it's not early, and there are not enough dishes at home. Let's go, guys, it's time to eat. ”

Wait for the noise of the crowd to calm down a little. Chen Ming hurriedly spoke, looking at the posture, he knew that the family didn't have time to buy vegetables in the morning, and even if they did, it was estimated that it was not enough.

Chen Ming, who was so hungry, hurriedly opened his mouth to ask everyone to shift their positions.

It is said that things gather like and people are grouped, even if there are two groups of people who don't know each other. After mixing for a long time, when I go out now, I feel like a group. said that he has been an old friend for many years, and outsiders will believe it when they see it.

Indeed, most of the men are members of the navy, even if they are not in the same base, but they will not lack common topics with each other. On the female side, there are also mostly military wives.

Two groups of strangers got together, and it didn't look embarrassing at all. Chen Ming beckoned everyone to eat, and at the same time secretly felt happy that he didn't have to enliven the atmosphere and could be lazy.

A noisy lunch lasted for almost two hours. Those who had to go to work in the afternoon said goodbye one after another. The rest of the people couldn't resist the children's request and went to the playground together.

The women surrounded Ouyang and Tan Qiuwen and took their children to play. By the way, listen to Tan Qiuwen tell about Chen Ming's childhood troubles, and at the same time instill the parenting heart sutra in Ouyang, or talk about some clothes, cosmetics and the like. The topic of conversation among women never seems to dry up.

On the other side, a group of lazy people led by Chen Ming formed a circle near the snack cold drink truck. Eat and drink and brag about the mountains, or talk about some interesting soldiers you meet in the process of leading your own troops.

For a while, there was a bit of joy for the guests and hosts.

It doesn't seem good to describe male compatriots like this. There are two kinds of topics between men and women. are all people who have started a family, and the topic of women naturally can't be talked about. The rest can only be work.

Coincidentally, due to the diversity of Chen Ming's rotation, almost everyone can find a companion to talk about related topics with them. For example, Xiao Weiguo, who had just been transferred to the submarine detachment, suddenly had a green light in his eyes after hearing that Nan Kejiang was the captain of the submarine and had been serving in the submarine force. Quietly pulled Nan Kejiang to the side and humbly asked for advice.

Gradually, Chen Ming was horrified to find that these people were chatting happily in groups of three or two. was supposed to be the protagonist, but he became a marginal person.

Chen Ming, who scolded and quit the group chat, had no choice but to sit aside. first booked the hotel where Zheng Yuanhai and others stayed, and then quietly conceived the process of the wedding, and compared it with the preparations in his memory. In case something goes wrong.

After eating in the evening, after sending Lu Huaicheng, Zheng Yuanhai and others to the hotel and then going home, the time was almost nine o'clock in the evening. After tossing for a day, the exhausted Chen Ming didn't even bother to take a shower, and fell straight down to the comfortable big bed.

Then he was kicked down by Ouyang......
