Because of Ani's arrival, the Tan family once again called a cook from Deyue House to come to Tan's house to cook vegetables and prepare this sumptuous lunch.

Although the servants and maids did not dare to come to see Ani blatantly, the extra attention still made Ani uncomfortable, and while no one was paying attention, Ani whispered to me: "Brother An, let's go." ”

I was startled and said, "I haven't said anything yet, and I'm going to leave in a hurry?" ”

Ani also remembered the purpose of bringing her here this time, so she had to sit down in her chair with no place to put her hands. When she was in the barracks, she hardly left the gun in her hand, and even when she was sleeping, the sniper rifle was definitely within her reach.

Now suddenly there is nothing in his hand, and the attention of others, intentionally or unintentionally, makes Ani very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the Tan family's banquet started early, and they were ready to stop before noon.

Tan Zhenshan beckoned us to our seats.

I asked Tan Qinrou beside me and said, "Why did you eat so early?" It's not eleven o'clock now. ”

Without waiting for Tan Qinrou to answer, Xiao Cui, who was waiting on the side, said with a smile: "Uncle, the young lady said that you must not have eaten well in the morning, so I urged the master to start the meal earlier." ”

I stretched out my hand to help Tan Qinrou and said with a smile: "Qinrou, is that so?" ”

Tan Qinrou said coquettishly: "You are less stinky and beautiful, I am for Miss Ani, not for you." ”

Ani immediately took over the conversation and said, "Miss Tan, I thank you." However, if you want to say that you are not because of Brother An, but because of me, isn't it too fake? ”

Tan Qinrou said: "Miss Ani, what you said is wrong, Sihu is my husband and a member of the family. You're a guest, I said it's for you, what's the fake? ”

I hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Deyue Lou has changed cooks?" The food seemed to taste even better than the original. ”

Tan Qinrou glanced at me and said, "Where is the change of cook, it's because you haven't eaten a decent meal for too long, I heard my brother say that you sometimes eat tree bark ......"

Tan Qinrou couldn't help but shed tears and cried on my shoulder.

Old Madam Tan sighed and said, "Qin Rou, don't you dare to cry like this, you are pregnant now, and it is not good to cry and spoil your body." ”

Tan Qinrou hurriedly stopped crying, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

I also persuaded and said: "We don't eat tree bark every day, some time ago, I personally went to the military headquarters to ask for food, and every day it is white flour steamed bread and rice, I don't believe you ask Ani." ”

Ani nodded busily and said, "Yes, what Brother An said is right, our battalion is already the best food unit, and it is not as exaggerated as Tan Weimin said." ”

Such a topic shrouded the banquet with a heavy touch, and Tan Zhenshan said to me: "Sihu, has the military camp really reached this point? ”

"This is mainly due to the weather, there are temporary difficulties in the supply of supplies, and if the weather continues to improve, I estimate that this problem will be solved soon," I said. ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "That's good, that's good." Come on, come on, take your seats. ”

Eating the delicious food with coloring and flavor, I took advantage of Tan Zhenshan's happiness and said: "In fact, the problem of eating is not the main thing, as I said, as long as the weather improves, it will be solved sooner or later, and the most difficult thing now is that the wounded soldiers cannot be treated in time." ”

Who is Tan Zhenshan, seeing that I have come back to the topic vividly, I know that I must have the following.

He put down his glass and said, "Sihu, if I can help you in any way, you can just say it." ”

Tan Qinrou also said: "What I'm saying is, you don't have to beat around the bush when you talk to my father, my father treats the army, which time is not rich and powerful, right, Dad." ”

Ani said: "Brother An is embarrassed to open his mouth because there are too many wounded soldiers. ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "I know that you have suffered heavy casualties on the West Bank, but if you want to talk about dozens of wounded soldiers, I think I still have the ability to help." ”

I said, "Dad, if you want to talk about dozens of wounded soldiers, I'll tell you directly." Let's just say that my battalion has more than 200 wounded soldiers, and no less than 100 seriously wounded soldiers. ”

Tan Zhenshan was a little surprised at this time, and said, "So many wounded soldiers? ”

I said, "Yes, even a military medical officer can handle minor injuries, but now the key is these 100 seriously wounded soldiers, I need a doctor, and many seriously wounded soldiers need immediate surgery." ”

Tan Zhenshan drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "A hundred seriously wounded soldiers is not a small number, and there are only a few doctors who can perform surgery in Linmeng, and now they are all transferred to the field hospital......

Ani stood up and said, "Uncle Tan, Ani begs you to help me think of a way, we really can't watch them die in front of us one by one......"

Tan Zhenshan nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let me think of a way to this matter, let's eat first, and then discuss after eating." ”

After lunch, Mrs. Tan asked Ani to go to the backyard to talk, Ani was not disobedient, and followed Mrs. Tan to the back house.

In the living room, Tan Qinrou sat next to her father and asked softly, "Dad, is there a way to help Sihu and them?" ”

Tan Zhenshan thought for a long time and said: "It's not impossible to say a way, but I can't do it alone...... For today's plan, I can only unite many businesses in the name of Linmeng Chamber of Commerce, and everyone will raise funds to invite doctors to Linmeng in surrounding cities. ”

I said, "That's a lot of money......

Tan Zhenshan said: "Resist Japan and save the country, the military and the people are integrated. I think these merchants can also pay this money, but it's really not good, I will make up for the remaining gap! ”

I quickly stood up, gave a solemn military salute, and said, "Dad, on behalf of these more than 100 brothers, I thank you. ”

Tan Zhenshan said: "My own family, you don't have to be so polite, even if you don't have a relationship, I am also responsible for this kind of thing." If there were no soldiers to defend the country, how could we live and work here in peace and contentment. ”

When Tan Zhenshan talked about living and working in peace and contentment, I suddenly remembered what happened when I came in the morning, and said, "Where did these mountain bandits come from? ”

Tan Zhenshan shook his head and said: "The city defense guard team has also checked, there is no clue, these mountain bandits have come and gone without a trace, as if they have disappeared out of thin air." ”

I said, "Apart from our family, who else has been robbed?" ”

Tan Zhenshan sighed: "There are three families that have been robbed, all of them are big families in Linmeng City, only I am here, and the mountain bandits have not succeeded, because our precautionary measures are still relatively strict." Now that I think about it, I'm also afraid, in case I am broken in by mountain bandits, it will be worth it. ”

Tan Qinrou said: "My father is worried that these mountain bandits will come again, and now he has recruited several nurses from his hometown in the countryside, and the bolts that shot at you today are all newly recruited." ”
