The Spring Festival of 1926 came belatedly in the noise of victory and the Northern Expedition, before the Spring Festival, Li Jishen commanded the Fourth Army to launch a sea-crossing operation, completely eliminated Deng Benyin's department entrenched on Hainan Island, and unified the whole province of Guangzhou.

The joy of the new year makes the city of Guangzhou everywhere dressed in festive red, children put on new clothes, frolicking in the streets, the explosion of dancing firecrackers resounded in the clear sky, the thick smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, a group of children cheered and rushed into the smoke to find unexploded firecrackers; In the midst of the gongs and drums, a long dragon flies in the center of the street, and the hardcover man holds the dragon head high and flies up and down under the guidance of the red orb, sometimes circling and surrounding; The shop guys greeted the send-off with a smile on their faces, and the restaurant was full of friends.

Feel the strong flavor of the festival at the same time, an indescribable sadness and loneliness in Zhuang Jihua's heart permeated, Zhuang Jihua this is the first time to spend the Spring Festival in peace, last year's Spring Festival he and the Seventh Company in preparation for the Eastern Crusade, the Spring Festival of the year before last he spent in bed, Zhuang Laoshi and his wife took care of him, a young man from the "United States", thinking of this honest couple, Zhuang Jihua's heart and a lot of thoughts, out of so long, has not written a letter to them, which makes him a little guilty, so he wrote them a "family letter".

This kind of loneliness is the loneliness of the heart, and the secrets hidden in his heart give him a vision beyond the times, and also allow him to move easily among the forces of all parties in this era, and discuss with the most outstanding figures of this era the major events that determine the fate of the country and the nation, which he had never thought of before; The side effect was that keeping this secret was so heavy, and his surname gradually changed under the pressure, becoming more stable.

Almost all of the colleagues in the intelligence department were alone in Guangzhou, except for Zheng Jiemin, whose home was on Hainan Island, and after the recovery of Hainan, he went home to visit relatives; Zhuang Jihua paid for his own money and invited everyone to dinner at the Happy Restaurant according to the habit of his previous life, and by the way, he called the owner of the Happy Restaurant to meet Chen Lifu, and this boss was none other than Li Anguo, the clerk of the original Seventh Company.

After Zhuang Jihua left Shantou, he transferred Li Anguo out of the Seventh Company and asked him to stay in Shantou to monitor Xu Chongzhi, and later changed to monitor the rest of Chen Jiongming.

However, after Liao Zhongkai was assassinated, Zhuang Jihua transferred him back to Guangzhou out of concern about the situation in Guangzhou, so Li Anguo opened a happy restaurant in Guangzhou.

Chen Lifu had been here once before, he didn't expect that the Happy Restaurant was actually hosted by the Intelligence Department, and after Li Anguo left, Zhuang Jihua confessed to Chen Lifu.

"I have handed over all the work of the intelligence department since its establishment to you, and it will be up to you in the future, the principal has already told me that my work will be transferred after the Spring Festival, and I will only take Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu with the people in the department, and leave the rest to you, by the way, Zhao Hanjie, I promised him to send him to the military academy, I will tell you about this first, and I will send him when the fifth phase of Huangpu begins to enroll."

After Chen Lifu arrived at the Intelligence Division, Zhuang Jihua found that this person was very rigorous, very organized and provocative, and he also found that Chen Lifu respected him very much on the surface, but secretly he was quietly looking for candidates, and he was wary of the personnel of the original Intelligence Division.

After listening to Zhuang Jihua's words, of course Chen Lifu did not object, he admired Zhuang Jihua's intelligence planning very much, but for some reason, the intelligence department never took action against [***], which made him a little strange, he inquired privately, Hua Chun's answer was that [***] was not an enemy, and allowed controversy within the revolutionary camp.

This kind of thinking is definitely not Hua Chun's own, it is definitely Zhuang Jihua's "teaching", which makes him a little dissatisfied in his heart. What's more, the people in the intelligence department are all picked up by Zhuang Jihua, and all of them have more experience than him, and every time he explains something, these people have to give him a few words, which makes him feel despised by him, so he must break Zhuang Jihua's domination of the intelligence department, and the easiest way is to introduce new people, otherwise even if Zhuang Jihua leaves, he will not be able to fully grasp the intelligence department.

The happiness of the New Year can be seen and smelled everywhere in the urban area of Guangzhou, Guangzhou is a famous flower city, spring seems to be particularly early here, the lady sitting in a rickshaw, the gentleman in a suit and leather shoes, most of them are holding pots of flowers, the air is filled with all kinds of fragrances, this scenery makes people forget this era of endless wars.

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of the new year, Li Zhilong held a wedding today, Zhuang Jihua inquired early, Li Zhilong and Pan Huiqin plan to hold a new wedding, which is in the Navy Club.

Zhuang Jihua went to Yixiang Jewelry Store early in the morning to pick up two small jade Buddhas custom-made, and then selected two chains. In order to pick this gift, Zhuang Jihua put a lot of thought into it, and it was easy to choose, and the thoughts contained in it could only be guessed by Li Zhilong himself.

In the afternoon, when Zhuang Jihua arrived at the Navy Club, the club was already full of people, the wide club was newly decorated, the front wall hung a large portrait of Sun Yat-sen, there was a big happy word on both sides of the portrait, the windows on both sides were also pasted with red happiness, the hall was obliquely pulled with a few ribbons, the red carpet was laid from the door to the main hall, the hall did not prepare a banquet, but a long table was placed at the end of the hall, and all kinds of fruits, champagne were placed on the table, and other melon seeds and peanut candy were piled up on the table. There's also a band on standby outside.

Many of the guests Zhuang Jihua didn't know, there were a lot of people wearing military uniforms, but mainly navy uniforms, and most of the others were young people in civilian clothes, he looked left and looked good before he found Jiang Xianyun and Chen Geng in a corner, he hurriedly leaned over, and asked without waiting for them to speak: "Why are you two, Yang Qigang and them?" ”

"He just said that he was busy with things in the military academy and won't come, so let's congratulate the bride and groom on his behalf." Jiang Xianyun smiled bitterly.

Zhuang Jihua understood that this was a pretext, he couldn't help but shake his head, this Yang Qigang is too stubborn, and he shouldn't make trouble at this time if he has opinions.

"It's nothing, forget it if he doesn't come, I'm coming anyway, I like to be lively." Chen Geng said with a grin.

The three of them chatted here, waiting for the wedding to start, Chen Geng didn't know where to get a bottle of champagne, Zhuang Jihua smiled at Chen Geng, Chen Geng's psychology was a little hairy, and the fresh thing came to his mind again, and after hurriedly pouring the wine in the cover-up, the three of them chatted while drinking.

The lowest rank of these three people standing there is Chen Geng, who is a captain, and the highest is Zhuang Jihua, but these three people are all magnificent and outstanding people, and many gentle eyes are circulating on them.

"These girls are all Pan Huiqin's classmates?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"I guess so." Jiang Xianyun didn't know.

"Of course." Chen Geng said with confidence.

"It seems that Chen Geng knows more people than we do, so it's better to be an actor." Zhuang Jihua looked "envious".

"Both of us are stupid as soldiers, and we can't compare with him." Jiang Xianyun is also a little "self-pity".

"Watching him dump beings on the stage, why hasn't he landed yet? Let Li Zhilong, the black boy, take the lead. Zhuang Jihua sighed.

Chen Geng was a little proud at first, but now he can hear the taste. He glared at him angrily: "Why are you jealous?" I can't bear it, don't complain, how did your Zhuang Cultural Revolution become so unproductive. ”

"It's not that we're complaining, our conditions are not good, there are only men in the barracks, no women, and occasionally one or two are also dinosaur level." Jiang Xianyun explained with a smile.

"Don't, Wushan, we must unite with the outside world and fight back against this little rightist." Chen Geng hurriedly wooed Jiang Xianyun, if the Huangpu and Huangpu heroes dealt with him together, he would definitely not be able to please him.

If this is to be said to others, it will definitely lead people to fight back, but Zhuang Jihua will not, he doesn't think that rightism is a bad name at all, his own grandfather was a rightist back then, and now Sun Chengye's business is nothing.

"It's not about left and right, getting married is just a matter for men and women." Zhuang Jihua laughed: "If all women in the world are leftists and men are rightists, won't you Chen Geng get married." ”

"First of all, this situation will not happen, and secondly, even if this happens, I, Chen Geng, can transform her into a leftist, and then get married."

Poof, Jiang Xianyun and Zhuang Jihua laughed at the same time, Chen Geng couldn't hold back his joy, and the laughter of no one next to the three of them attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

"Actually, I don't know these girls either, but think about it, Li Zhilong's kid is on a warship, and it's also a place where there are no women, so... In addition to Pan Huiqin's classmates, who else can it be. Chen Geng finally explained.

"Jiang Xianyun, Zhuang Wenge, Chen Geng, why are you hiding here!" A young man in a suit came over to greet them, Zhuang Jihua looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember seeing it there, Jiang Xianyun also looked at it for a long time, and it was easy to remember: "You are Xia....Xia...."

"Xia Yanglin." The young man added with a smile, and Zhuang Jihua remembered that this was not the student who went deep into the grassroots in the Liu family compound.

"It's you!" Zhuang Jihua was very happy, he turned his head to Chen Geng and said, "This is Xia Yanglin, I met in Liutang Town last year. He said to Xia Yanglin: "This is my military classmate Captain Chen Geng." ”

The corners of Chen Geng's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked disdainful: "I want you to introduce me, they are all old acquaintances." Alas, I said that you kid came here too, and he didn't go home for the New Year. ”

"If you go home, you will be locked up when you go back, so it is better to make a revolution in Guangzhou." Xia Yanglin shouted and hit the sky.

"It's not like I haven't been home for a year." Zhuang Jihua asked, Xia Yanglin nodded, but his expression was quite disapproving: "Abba and I are also engaged in a war, as long as he promises not to leave me after he goes back, I will go home." ”

Zhuang Jihua and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, these two fathers and sons were really interesting, and suddenly Xia Yang Lin smiled slyly at the three of them, turned around and left, and came over with a few girls after a while.

This time, Zhuang Jihua immediately recognized that the one wearing the emerald green embroidered cheongsam was Liu Yinshu, the beautiful daughter of the owner of Liu Zhuang.

"Let me introduce to you, this classmate Zhang Xiaoyu, this is classmate Liu Yinshu, who met during the Cultural Revolution, this is classmate Li Li, and this is Qi Linlin."

Liu Yinshu was so nervous, and finally saw him again, when he was in the living room of his house, he forced Abba to agree to rent and interest reduction, and turned around and talked to the peasants to force them to agree to Abba to join the club, and afterwards Abba actually praised him without holding a grudge.

She wanted to hide but didn't want to hide, her heart was like a deer.

"Yes, we know each other, but you broke a lot of money in the first place." Zhuang Jihua took a step forward with a smile and stood directly in front of Liu Yinshu.

"Yes....ah, no....," Liu Yinshu was a little flustered, she involuntarily lowered her head to avoid the other party's gaze, which was so attractive.

Qi Linlin, who had a round face, pursed her lips and smiled: "You are Zhuang Jihua, I heard Yin Shu talk about you." ”

Zhuang Jihua was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What are you talking about me, going to his house to rob?" ”

"Ha," several girls were suddenly happy, Liu Yinshu raised her head anxiously and scolded: "You are talking nonsense, when did I say it." ”

"Okay, I didn't say it, I didn't say it." These words undoubtedly made people more convinced, Liu Yinshu blushed with shame and stomped her feet in a hurry. Zhuang Jihua was embarrassed now, he didn't expect it to be like this at all, Xia Yanglin blinked his eyes, he now knew that Liu Yinshu was pretending to be Zhuang Jihua in his heart, no wonder he couldn't catch up no matter how he chased it, but it's strange to think about it, he knew Liu Yinshu in front of him, so he could only blame the creator's arrangement.

In the midst of the fighting, I suddenly heard someone calling: "Coming, coming!" Played! ”

In the wedding march, Li Zhilong's wedding car stopped in front of the door, and Li Zhilong, who was wearing a neat navy uniform, got out of the car first, and then helped out Pan Huiqin in a wedding dress from inside, and the two walked in hand in the flying petals.

Walking through the passage formed by the crowd, Pan Huiqin was intoxicated, her smile like a flower, and her trembling slender hands all showed that she was surrounded by great happiness, and the petals slowly fell from the sky, scattered on her and his head and shoulders. Li Zhilong tried his best to stay solemn, but he couldn't help but show an intoxicated look, and the two walked slowly on the red carpet amid solemn music.

The couple is going through an important moment in their lives, bathed in happiness and contentment.

No one noticed, Zhuang Jihua in the crowd disappeared.

Looking at their intoxication, Zhuang Jihua's heart suddenly swelled up with a deep pain, the Zhongshan ship was digging his heart like a knife, this was too cruel, Zhuang Jihua never thought that knowing the result of history was so heart-wrenching. He staggered out of the crowd and sat in a chair with his head down, tears in his eyes, he couldn't stand it anymore, he just wanted to scream, he just wanted to vent.
