Ye Zhan went home from the recruit barracks, and he is now officially appointed as the platoon commander of the 2nd platoon of the first infantry company of the mixed battalion, still following the old commander Zhou Lei. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo was busy packing up for Ye Zhan in the house, while cleaning up, he secretly wiped his tears. Ye Sunquan sat on the side and smoked a cigarette without saying a word. Although Ye Sunquan was 10,000 in favor of this son going to Annan on the surface, even Chief Jiang personally asked Ye Zhan what he meant, what a big face, but in his heart, Ye Sunquan was not happy at all. The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, which child is also raised by him Ye Sun Quan and his wife with a handful of and urine. Although Ye Sunquan also inquired with Shen Daxing and Zhang Xin, Annan is actually not far from Yulin Bay, and it will only take 1 or 2 days by boat at most, but after all, it is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and who knows what will happen.

"Is Grandpa Quan at home?" A question rang out outside the door.

"Who?" Ye Sunquan walked over and opened the door, but he was stunned for a moment.

Wu Chengzong stood outside the door carrying 2 jugs of wine: "Master, I heard that the second child of our family is going to Annan, I came here to see him off, and it is also my obligation to be an uncle." ”

"Don't." Ye Sunquan waved his hand again and again, "That's the second child of our family." ”

"Okay, okay, I said it wrong, it's your second child." Wu Chengzong raised the wine jug in his hand, "The official doesn't give gifts, your master won't let me stand outside the house and talk to you like this." ”

"Come in." Ye Sunquan's heart was a little satisfied, in fact, for most of the past half a year, Ye Sunquan didn't know if it was because he was older or because he had earned too much money, and his previous competitive mind had faded a lot. Now seeing that Wu Chengzong personally came to visit with gifts, Ye Sunquan didn't embarrass him anymore.

"Damn, dictate. Master Wu came to see you. Ye Sunquan's voice was loud, lest the neighbors not hear it.

"Master Wu, come on, come on, sit inside." Luo hurriedly stopped what he was doing and beckoned Wu Chengzong.

Ye Zhan walked out of the back room, wearing a military uniform: "Master Wu is here, I should go to greet you, why did you come to see me." ”

"It should be, it should be." Wu Chengzong put down the wine in his hand and said kindly, "It's still the second eldest of your family, as soon as you wear this military uniform, it is unknown whether you will be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister in the future." ”

Ye Sunquan's heart was happy again: "Mother, go and light the candles, and then go to the restaurant to ask for a few dishes, and I will have two drinks with Wu Ye tonight." ”

"Hehehe. Master, then I'll bother. Wu Chengzong was not polite, and thanked him.

The door was pushed open again, and Ye Yan, Li Xiao and Sun Jiayi walked in together.

"Hey, the martial master is also there?" Li Xiao saw Wu Chengzong as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't know how he was in Yesun's family.

"You should be beaten if you say that." Wu Chengzong smiled, "Why can't I be here?" ”

Luo came out of the back room and took Jiayi's hand: "Let's go, Jiayi, go buy some food with your aunt, and eat here at night." ”

In the evening, Ye Sunquan's family of seven, plus Wu Chengzong, Sun Jiayi, and Li Xiao, a total of ten people sat around the dinner table.

Ye Sunquan raised his glass at Wu Chengzong: "Master Wu, you are a guest." According to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, women are not allowed to serve at the table. ”

"Master, don't say that." Before Ye Sunquan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Chengzong, "It's not an outsider, besides, this is Yulin Bay, there is no rule in Yulin Bay that women don't serve at the table." When Master Chen and Zhou Qianhu came, didn't Director Tan also serve on the table. Wherever you go, you will abide by the rules of that place, Master, do you say that this is the reason? ”

"Hehe, it's still the martial master who understands things." Ye Sunquan drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Come, I respect Master Wu." ”

Wu Chengzong put down the wine glass after drinking, looked at Ye Yan and Ye Zhan with envy, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still your grandfather, the children and grandchildren are full, and the eldest and second are all promising, a detective and a platoon commander." It's like me, I married a few wives and concubines for nothing, and all of them were money-losing goods, and I don't even have a successor to the next generation. ”

Ye Sunquan didn't know how to comfort Wu Chengzong. He knew that Wu Chengzong was only 2 years younger than him, and since he came to Yulin Bay and had money, he married 2 concubines one after another, but these 2 concubines gave birth to 2 girls one after another last month, plus the previous children, his Wu Chengzong's family is now five golden flowers.

"Master Wu, you are now one of the richest families in Yulin Bay, what are you afraid of, if you can't marry a few more houses, you will always have a son." Li Xiao persuaded with a big grin.

"What do you know, you haven't even married a daughter-in-law yet." Wu Chengzong replied.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm waiting for Sister Jiayi to find me the female students in their school." Li Xiao's words caused everyone to laugh.

Sun Jiayi ignored Li Xiao's words, but asked Ye Zhan, "Second brother, when are you going to pull out." ”

"Come on." Ye Zhan replied, "I don't know the specific time, I have to wait for Chief Jiang and them to come back from Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

"Master." Speaking of Ye Zhan's promotion, Wu Chengzong asked Ye Sunquan, "I don't understand, you said that these old men stayed well in Yulin Bay, without worrying about food or clothing, why do they have to go so far away, what are they trying to do?" ”

"I don't know what the old man thinks." Ye Sunquan took a sip of wine, "But Master Wu, the two of us have been here in Yulin Bay for more than a year, I don't know what your Master Wu was like before he came, but I, Ye Sunquan, am so poor that I really can't open the pot." When I was in my hometown in Fujian, let alone eating, sometimes there was a war, and it was a matter of whether my life could be saved. But since coming to this Yulin Bay, life has been getting better day by day. Look at the Ming Dynasty and think about the past, there are not many places like Yulin Bay. Therefore, no matter what these old men of Yulin Bay think and do, let's follow it, and we can't keep it wrong. ”

"That's, that's, or is your master right." Wu Chengzong also took a sip of wine, "You said that the two of us have pinched from the beginning, what's the point of pinching back and forth." No matter how rich I am, what can I do, I don't even have a son, how can I compare with your whole grandfather. I have figured it out this year, this person, you can't be too strong, I will follow Master Di in the future, earn my money, and have to give birth to a son anyway. ”

After Wu Chengzong finished speaking, he poured himself and Ye Sunquan a glass of wine, and raised it at Ye Sunquan: "Master Quan, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha." I'm here today, in fact, I just want to make peace with your grandfather, let's stop pinching, what's the point, the money in this Yulin Bay can't be earned. I, Wu Chengzong, in front of my nephews today, can also be regarded as compensating your grandfather, I don't know if the grandfather will give me this face. ”

Ye Sunquan's heart was satisfied and excited: "Master Wu, it's serious, I, Ye Sunquan, also have something that I can't do enough." Come, our brothers drank this cup, and the previous things were written off, and they will live a good life with the old men of Yulin Bay in the future. ”

"Haha, you're reconciled." Sun Jiayi watched Ye Sunquan toast to Wu Chengzong, clapped her hands and smiled, "Uncle Ye, Uncle Wu, in fact, I know why the second brother and they want to go to Annan, just to let us live a good life." ”

"You know?" The people in the room felt that Sun Jiayi's words were a bit exaggerated, "What can you know about a little girl?" ”

"Don't look down on people, I really know." Sun Jiayi pursed her lips, "I was in the school, Mr. Xu and Mr. Cheng talked about it, and my grandfather and my brother also told me." ”

"Really? Your grandfather and your brother also talked about it? Ye Sunquan and Wu Chengzong were interested, "Then tell me, what did Master Lu and Master Sun say?" ”

"Hmph." Sun Jiayi snorted proudly, "My grandfather said that our Ming Dynasty is now in crisis, there are Manchurian Tatars and Mongolian Tatars in the north, and Westerners in the sea in the south, and they are not good people." In the future, we will not only defend Yulin Bay, but also go to the north to fight Manchurian Tatars to defend the Ming Dynasty. My grandfather said that if we can't defeat the Manchurian Tatars, the Manchurian Tatars will occupy our land and slaughter our people in the future. ”

"Your grandfather also knows Westerners?" Li Xiao asked.

"Well, my grandfather knows a lot." Sun Jiayi glanced at Li Xiao proudly again, and continued, "My grandfather also said that if we want to defeat the Manchurian Tartars, we must train more soldiers and build more guns. Now the second brother and they are going to Annan to find something that can make guns. My grandfather said that their ancestors were unable to defeat the Mongol Tatars before they left overseas, and now we must not let our Ming Dynasty repeat the tragedy of hundreds of years ago. Defending the country is the obligation of every one of my Ming people. ”

Sun Jiayi's words were heard by Ye Sunquan and Wu Chengzong, but Ye Zhan fell into deep thought on the side. Seeing that Sun Jiayi finished speaking, Ye Zhan said: "Sister Jiayi is right. Loyalty and patriotism are the duty of every one of our Ming people. Mr. Xu once told me that as a soldier, no matter what the circumstances, you must fight for freedom. That's what Mr. Xu gave me the name. If one day in the future, whether it is the Manchurian Tatars or the Westerners, they dare to trample on our Daming country, dare to slaughter our Daming people, and dare to destroy our happy life now, then our soldiers in Yulin Bay will be the first to stand up and fight bloodily to defend their homeland and relatives. ”

Ye Yan looked at his younger brother with some surprise: "You came up with this yourself?" ”

"Hey, hey, no." Ye Zhan smiled embarrassedly, "This is what Commander Jiang said when I was the squad leader, and I also asked us squad leaders to memorize it, and I will say the same thing with the soldiers in the future." ”

Wu Chengzong raised his glass at Ye Zhan: "You are all people who have entered the academy, I don't understand what you are saying." But you just said that all these things you are doing now are to protect Yulin Bay, and I like to hear this. Come, your Uncle Wu, I will salute you a few cups, defend Yulin Bay well, and you Uncle Wu and I will have a son. ”

Ye Zhan returned to the barracks the next day, and as soon as he entered the gate of the barracks, he ran into Yang Tao, a sergeant he had in the recruit platoon.

"Hello sir." Yang Tao saluted Ye Zhan.

Ye Zhan finished saluting, and suddenly found Yang Tao's gloomy face: "Old sir, what's wrong?" What's upsetting you? Tell my brother, and my brother will be angry for you. ”

"Just you?" Yang Tao looked up at Ye Zhan with his face up, "No one can get out of this anger, blame me for not being angry." ”

"What the hell is going on, tell me."

"My appointment has come down, Sergeant Major of the First Company of the Infantry of the Mixed Battalion." Yang Tao was indignant, "Damn, in the end, I was still a sergeant major, and I didn't even get mixed up with a second lieutenant, so I could only wear a belt for the rest of my life." ”

"I can't." Ye Zhan was a little unconvinced, "Aren't we able to serve as platoon-level officers after the expansion of the army?" Didn't you ask Chief Zhou? ”

"Asked, just came out of him. The Central Military Commission has just issued an order that no officer will be promoted to anyone who fails the cultural examination. ”

Ye Zhan didn't speak again, he knew that Yang Tao was very good at leading soldiers, but unfortunately he didn't go to school for a day, and as a sergeant in the recruit platoon, he had learned literacy and arithmetic with himself. Because I joined the army from the academy, it was easy to pass the cultural exam. But he, Yang Tao, studied with the recruits for 2 months, and he didn't remember anything else except his name.

"Actually, it's not bad to be a sergeant major." Ye Zhan really didn't know what to say, "How to say it, I still follow Chief Zhou, and now I am also a sergeant major, and the salary is the same as the platoon commander, which can be regarded as a promotion." ”

"If I knew this was the case, I would have to go to school for a few days before I became a soldier." Yang Tao comforted himself, "Forget it, forget it, you go and get busy with yours, I'll go first, and Chief Zhou asked me to go to the Military Commission." ”
