When it was time to get off work, Xu Lang called Gao Chen and walked out of the small building of the General Staff Headquarters. Xu Lang had already found someone to inform the three Ye brothers and the Chen family in advance, and now Ye Sunquan has not moved, and the two families still live next door.

Xu Lang and Gao Chen chatted and walked home, and a group of soldiers came over to them, and Xu Lang stopped unconsciously.

"Gao Chen." Xu Lang pointed at the group of soldiers and turned his head and asked, "Why are there blacks in here, when will we have blacks in the army?" ”

"Chief of Staff, those black men are the same people that the British captain sold us last time." Gao Chen explained, "Didn't Director Tan stop me that time, but later I heard that the committee consulted them and didn't want to go home, so they all stayed in Yulin Bay." We got them all into the army last time we recruited. ”

"That's good." Xu Lang smiled, "It's really a multinational force." ”

When Xu Lang and Gao Chen returned home, the Chen family had already prepared dinner, and after a short time, the three brothers of the Ye family also came with their respective daughters-in-law.

"Mr. Xu, I'm here to disturb again." Ye Yan arched his hand and said.

"What bother." Cheng Yiyi replied first, "You Mr. Xu still wish you would come to disturb him every day and drink with him every day." ”

Xu Lang also smiled: "I watched the three of you brothers grow up, and they basically became my sons-in-law, so let's not see each other." Siqin, I'm going to call my grandparents for dinner. ”

A large family sat at two tables, and Xu Lang and his wife, the Ye brothers and Gao Chen sat together with Lu Tianxiang and his wife.

Lu Tianxiang was the first to raise his glass: "None of them are outsiders, don't be so restrained." I'm too old to drink too much, so you young people should have a drink with your chief of staff. ”

Everyone raised their glasses one after another: "Thank you, Master Lu." ”

Lu Tianxiang and his wife went back to the back room to rest after eating for a while, and Sun Jiayi and Bihe were also worried about the children at home, and they left after a while. Xu Lang and the others were still drinking in the house.

Xu Lang saw that there was no one else in the room, and rolled up his sleeves: "Come, let's have a good drink, and let go tonight." ”

Gao Chen looked at Xu Lang and looked like he wanted to cry: "Chief of Staff, come back, don't you say that you don't want to drink?" ”

Ye Yan smiled: "Gao Chen, Mr. Xu is happy, just drink more, it's nothing." ”

Gao Chen had no choice but to smile bitterly, pick up the wine glass and drink it all.

Cheng Yiyi turned his head to Ye Yan and asked, "Ye Yan, what is your chief inspector's plan for the expansion of your patrol room, he hasn't come to me again in the past few days." ”

"Sister Yiyi." Ye Yan replied, "The chief inspector has discussed with us, and he means to downsize and set the patrol at about 1,200 people. There are not many expatriates sent to other states and counties, and they can make use of the original tax police. ”

"Oh." Cheng Yiyi answered and didn't ask again.

Xu Lang asked casually again: "Ye Zhan, do you know how Lin Zhaolong is recruiting now?" ”

Ye Zhan is the deputy commander of the First Division, and he is assisting Han Wantao in preparing to go to Dengzhou for a while. It was Lin Zhaolong's second division that was responsible for recruiting troops in Yulin Bay, so Ye Zhan was not very clear about the progress of the conscription.

"Mr. Xu." Ye Zhan replied, "Commander Lin has always been in charge of recruitment, and I've been busy with the expedition for a while, so I don't know much about it." But I've heard that it doesn't seem to be going well, not because there aren't enough people, it's because there are too few people who are qualified. ”

Xu Lang nodded, he knew that whether it was a homeless person from the north or a person sent back from South Vietnam, it would be difficult for them to meet the current recruitment requirements of the Yulin Army in such a short period of time, while people in Yulin Bay or Hainan Island were generally unwilling to come back to serve as soldiers. However, according to the plan of the Central Military Commission, by the end of the year, the two divisions will be expanded into two armies, from 14,000 to 30,000. Xu Lang shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Zhiruo pulled Xu Lang on the side: "Don't talk about work first, it's not easy for children, it's rare to relax, let's have a drink." ”

Ye Li raised his glass at Zhao Zhiruo: "Mr. Zhao, I toast you." The student has always been cared for by Mr. Zhao before, and after becoming a gentleman, you have always taken good care of me, thank you, sir. ”

"Ye Li, don't be so formal." Gao Chen quipped, "We are now at the chief of staff's house, how good it is to call Sister Zhiruo, how kind it is." ”

Ye Li drank the wine a little embarrassed, and shouted at Zhao Zhiruo: "Sister Zhiruo." ”

Zhao Zhiruo also picked up the wine glass: "Ye Li, the three of you brothers have all started a family. Ye Jie is also in our school now, this year's fourteenth or fifteenth year, did you propose to her? ”

Ye Jie is Ye Yan's sister Ye Mi, Ye Li personally changed his sister's name after becoming the gentleman of the school, and obtained the meaning of Bingqing Yujie.

Ye Yan, as the eldest brother, replied first: "Sister Zhiruo, there are a lot of marriages, but my mother and my sister have not taken a fancy to any of them. My mother said that she was still young, and she was not busy beforehand. ”

After Ye Yan finished speaking, he unconsciously glanced at Gao Chen, in fact, Ye Jie already had a sweetheart, who was Gao Chen. Gao Chen has been following Xu Lang now, and he has also become good friends with Ye Zhan, so he also walks around the Ye family from time to time, and has met Ye Jie a few times, and Ye Jie has this meaning. But Gao Chen was married, although Gao Chen has been reluctant, but he has never withdrawn from the marriage. Luo Shi saw his daughter's thoughts, but he didn't tell Ye Sunquan, he only discussed it with his eldest son. Ye Yan meant to resolutely oppose it, it was not that Ye Yan felt that Gao Chen was bad, but that he, as an elder brother, would never agree with his sister to be Gao Chen's concubine. The three brothers of the Ye family don't know anyone in Yulin Bay now, especially since they are already the second-in-command of the patrol room, and Ye Zhan is also the colonel's deputy division commander. So this matter was put aside, except for Luo and Ye Yan, no one in the Ye family knew Ye Jie's thoughts.

Xu Lang and Cheng Yiyi were both talking and laughing, no one noticed Ye Yan's glance at Gao Chen, but Zhao Zhiruo saw it clearly.

Zhao Zhiruo's heart couldn't help but ask secretly: "Could it be that Ye Jie is optimistic about Gao Chen?" If that's the case, it's a bit of a problem. ”

Ye Yan raised his glass to divert the topic: "Come, since Mr. Xu wants to have fun, let's toast Mr. Xu together, thank you Mr. Xu for taking care of us so much." ”

Everyone raised their glasses with Ye Yan: "We respect Mr. Xu." ”

The crowd drank until midnight. The Ye brothers and Gao Chen said goodbye and left, Xu Lang returned to the bedroom drunkenly with the support of Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo, and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.
