An Yi, who was in turmoil, unconsciously came to the familiar quiet street, stood in front of the door and looked up, only to know that he had come to Gong Qian's door, and suddenly he was confused and at a loss.

An Yi didn't know why he came here, he hesitated for a moment, smiled bitterly and turned to leave, he didn't want Gong Qian to see his frustrated and failed appearance.

"Xiao Yi? Oh, it's really you, I haven't come to see your sister for so many days, really, come, sit in the house, I just came back from grocery shopping, if I didn't know the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue to see you one step later...... Come in! What are you doing standing stupidly? Your sister just took a boat to Shanghai yesterday, and left a letter for me to pass it on to you, and your sister said that you will definitely come to the house in the next few days, come in......"

As she spoke, Mama Wu took out the key to open the courtyard door, lifted the basket and took An Yi's hand and walked in.

After sitting down for a while, Wu's mother brought a letter and a watch box, An Yi felt warm when he saw the familiar watch box, opened the envelope and took out the letterhead and read it carefully, the two clean letterheads were full of soft and beautiful fonts, and the thick affection and concern in the plain words made An Yi, who was already sad, couldn't help but shed tears.

Mother Wu was startled when she saw An Yi crying, and after thinking about it, she gently put the teacup on the table, without disturbing this handsome young man who was crying like a wronged child.

An Yi wiped away his tears and looked up at the sky, only then did he realize the existence of Wu's mother, looked around quite embarrassedly, and found that Wu's mother was washing vegetables in the yard with her head down, An Yi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the residual tears from the corners of his eyes, opened the watch box and took out a silver watch that was exactly the same as the one he gave to the bearded two, put it on his hand and tried it just right, sighed slightly, folded the letter and put it in his pocket, and walked to Wu's mother to help her wash the vegetables:

"Mother Wu, soon we will go north to fight, my sister is also busy, you should pay attention to your body at home alone, and when we conquer Zhejiang, you can move back to live, if you are happy, you will live in Nanjing with my sister, I will go to see you often."

"Yo! Ha ha...... You kid has filial piety, but where is it so easy to fight a war, it's good to be able to take Nanjing in three or five years, don't worry, be careful when you get to the front. Wu's mother advised.

An Yi laughed: "Mother Wu, I'll make a bet with you, if we fight Nanjing before next year, you have to make Dongpo meat for me again and again, if I lose, every time I come to see you, I will beat you on the back, if you don't stop shouting, I won't stop, how about it?" ”

Wu's mother laughed and happily agreed, An Yi found an excuse to slip away after washing the dishes, and Wu's mother, who chased him out to eat, held on to the door frame and sighed for a long time.

An Yi spent an hour cleaning up his money in the bank, and by the way, he went to the "Lu Lin" trading house and had a secret conversation with Hans and Lauter for more than two hours, in which he told the truth about his identity without concealment, and won the respect and understanding of the surprised Hans and Lauter.

An Yi politely declined Hans's suggestion to have dinner together, rushed to the fishing wharf under construction and asked the two Lin Village minions to inform Ah Biao to meet him, and then walked to the alley of the silk cloth trading house and couldn't help but force Lao Dao to close the stall, and the two walked back to their home on Renji Road while arguing.

At dinner time, An Yi was giving the foreign toys he bought back to Ermao, and Ah Biao, who was not what it used to be, rushed to the durian garden with two bodyguards who were five big and three thick, and as soon as he entered the door, An Yi instructed him to drive away the bodyguards, and then the two and Lao Dao drank wine together and chatted while eating, and this chat was about three o'clock in the morning.

After sending off Ah Biao, An Yi, who had completely let go of many worries, only felt tired that he had never felt before, and lay straight on the mahogany couch in the front hall and fell asleep.

Parting is imminent, the inseparable old Tao changed the usual calm and calm Taishan top does not change color, twice got up on the mattress hand and foot to the sleeping An Yi side bent down to look at it, seeing An Yi's tears in the dream, Lao Dao sadly stretched out his hand to help him wipe it away, but the hand stretched out halfway and retracted, in the end, Lao Dao could only sneak back to his nest, lie down and turn around and sigh inward sigh until dawn.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, An Yi returned to the marketing vacation, walked to the field for a while, and looked at the more than 200 brothers who had learned to line up and walk in the right steps and could do the order and prohibition, and discussed with Hu Zi and Yin Jinan under the sun for a while, and decided to lead the team back to explain the various terrain, procedures and requirements of tomorrow's competition, and then from more than 210 brothers, 135 people with superior abilities in all aspects were selected to form three regular engineer platoons, and then studied separately in the platoon, and concentrated on teaching in the evening, learning to cooperate and cooperate, and complete the final preparations.

By the end of lunch time, everything went smoothly as planned, and An Yi, who had hurriedly finished lunch, returned to their barracks, and before they could pick up the freshly brewed tea, they heard a commotion outside, followed by the sound of the impact of wooden sticks on the bench and the angry scolding of the group beating.

Yin Jinan was so frightened that he ran out and shouted to stop, Hu Zi grabbed the leather whip in annoyance and walked out with a black face, An Yi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was unmoved, sat lazily on the chair, lit a cigarette and inhaled weakly, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

After a while, Yin Jinan and Hu Zi calmed down the fight and returned in annoyance.

As soon as Yin Jinan sat down, he said worriedly: "There was a fight, how can this work?" Tomorrow is a competition, how can such a state and such morale win? For a few days, Lao Tzu looked wrong, thinking that the competition was imminent, don't hurt their self-esteem first, but I didn't expect it to explode at this fateful time, grandma's ......"

An Yi knew that there were no major estrangements and contradictions between the brothers who usually seemed to live in harmony, but the brothers who had been deeply affected by regional concepts for hundreds of years were divided into different gangs intentionally or unintentionally.

"Big brother, you have something to say! What's going on with you? When have you still had this graceful virtue? Yin Jinan blamed An Yi.

An Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt and asked weakly, "What's the matter, let's hear it." ”

Yin Jinan glared at him angrily: "Lu Xiong of Jiangxi beat Chang Baofang of Hunan, both sides were not convinced, and it led to a fight of hundreds of people. ”

"Why did Lu Xiong beat Lao Chang? Isn't Chang Chang good-tempered? An Yi asked unhurriedly.

When Hu Zi saw Yin Jinan looking over, he had no choice but to speak: "Lao Chang said that he was sick and did not participate in our compulsory training and stayed at home, at the beginning, Lao Chang took the initiative to sign up for the cooking class, so the nineteen injured and sick brothers who stayed behind thought that he could cook, so they did not arrange for him to stand guard on duty, and specially cooked for everyone, but this Lao Chang did not know how to cook at all, although this matter was wrong, everyone helped him hide it." I came back to lead the team to train, the cooking class is normal and there is nothing to do with him, he is ashamed and afraid that other brothers will not dare to continue to pretend to be sick, and go to training with me, who knows that on the third day I found that there are half bloody footprints on the field, and immediately called the old man who left the footprints out of the column to let him take off his shoes, he did not dare not take off under my whip, but a take off scared me, his right heel was padded with a three-centimeter thick wood, the blood soaked the cigarette box of the big wood, a closer look at me only then knew that the old man's right foot is shorter than the left foot, In order not to be kicked out of the army, he kept it a secret from everyone, and he used this lame trick to endure hardship, and finally hurt himself. I saw that he was pitiful and let him rest, who knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to stay and said that he would cut his hair and shave his head, just after eating Lu Xiong asked him to help with a haircut, saying that there would be a martial arts competition tomorrow, long hair is in the way, Dong Yanzi took out the two sets of imported scissors and razors you bought, and as a result, Lu Xiong's scalp was almost not removed. Lu Xiong's original surname was Lie, and when he touched the blood on his head, where did he remember what military regulations and regulations, he would be beaten if he grabbed it, and the brothers in Hunan were unwilling, so the two sides started fighting! I see, this resentment is not a matter of one or two days, and during the period of forced training, everyone was so tired that they couldn't stand on their feet, so they didn't break out, and when they came back, they were comfortable, and things came out. ”

An Yi thought for a while and said to Yin Jinan's beard: "That's it, I'll do it, you two don't make a sound, just look at it." Following the south, whistle gathering. ”

"Yes!"
