Chapter 63: The Family Banquet (Part II)

As soon as she heard this hearty laughter, Shen Baixue smiled, took Ding Chenggong's hand and ran into the living room happily. As soon as he saw the old soldier sitting on the sofa, he pounced on it with a smile, took the old soldier's hand and sprinkled it: "Grandpa, you didn't support me when you came, I almost let others bully me today!"

"Who dares to bully my Shen Ziqing's granddaughter!" The old soldier gently stroked Shen Baixue's short ear-length hair, and said with a coquettish smile: "Tell grandpa, grandpa will get justice for you!"

"Really?" Shen Baixue's eyes immediately widened.

"Really! Tell grandpa who bullied my good granddaughter to be angry! The old soldier said solemnly: "No matter who he is, grandpa will definitely get justice for you!"

As soon as he heard this, Wei Jianhai, who was sitting at the bottom, blinked his eyes with a ghost in his heart, and turned his eyes to Shen Baixue's mother Gu Chunyan for help.

"Isn't it just Jianhai courting you in public?" Gu Chunyan immediately blinked knowingly, and persuaded seriously: "Jianhai, he didn't know that you found a boyfriend for yourself!" They all grew up together. Those who know the roots, what are you more real! ”

As she spoke, Gu Chunyan noticed Ding Chenggong who came in with Shen Baixue, and immediately changed the topic with a smile: "Who is this handsome guy?" Why don't you tell us about it? ”

The old soldier noticed Ding Chenggong at this time, nodded happily, and said to Shen Baixue: "Yes, Xue'er, who is this handsome young man you brought home, hurry up and introduce it to everyone!" ”

Shen Baixue reluctantly glared at Wei Jianhai, smiled and pulled Ding Chenggong in front of everyone, and pretended to be intimate and introduced loudly: "This is my life-saving benefactor, a young inventor with outstanding achievements, and Ding Chenggong, the chairman and general manager of New Century Hi-Tech!" ”

"The one who saved my precious granddaughter is you kid!" As soon as the words fell, the old soldier walked up to Ding Chenggong with great enthusiasm, patted his shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "I said that my baby granddaughter with eyes above the top suddenly found a boyfriend, it turned out that I met such a great young man as you!" ”

"Grandpa, you're talking nonsense again!" Shen Baixue's face immediately flushed with shame, and she said coquettishly: "If you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you!" ”

"Cher, how can you talk to your grandfather!" Gu Chunyan immediately scolded her daughter, but the old soldier waved his hand indifferently and interrupted her. A doting smile: "Good, good!" Xue'er is not angry, is it okay for grandpa not to talk nonsense? ”

"That's pretty much it!" didn't care about her mother's face at all, Shen Baixue smiled at her grandfather, and then scolded Ding Chenggong unceremoniously: "Are you still stupid?" When you see my grandfather and mother, why don't you call someone quickly! ”

"Hello Commander Shen, hello Auntie!" Ding Chenggong really didn't expect that the thin old man in front of him, dressed in an old-fashioned military uniform and in good spirits, turned out to be Shen Ziqing, a legendary general who was famous in his hometown!

Out of heartfelt reverence for the iron-blooded soldiers, Ding Chenggong said very respectfully: "Commander Shen has fought for the country all his life, and has made great achievements. It really makes the younger generations admire! Seeing it today, it is even more fortunate to have three lives! ”

"You kid, where do you get so many compliments!" Shen Ziqinghao smiled indifferently, and said heartily: "If you are a soldier, don't you have to go into battle to kill the enemy and defend your family and country?" What is there to be proud of! ”

Seeing that Ding Chenggong, this kid, had a very speculative conversation with Commander Shen as soon as he came up, Wei Jianhai, who was bent on getting Shen Baixue's favor, was suddenly terrified, and immediately gave Gu Chunyan a look anxiously.

Gu Chunyan, who wanted to marry his daughter to Wei Jianhai so that he could catch the big boat of the old Wei family, immediately gave him a "reassuring" look, then stood up and said with a slight smile: "It's almost noon, and lunch is ready." Dad, let's invite the guests to the table early! ”

"yes, it's half past twelve!" Shen Ziqing raised his wrist, looked at his old-fashioned gold watch, and said with a slight smile: "Then please invite everyone to the table!" ”

Soon, Ding Chenggong came to the spacious restaurant with simple decoration and full of military camp atmosphere under the guidance of a special person. Looking at the Japanese samurai sword hanging on the wall of the restaurant, Ding Chenggong immediately became interested and walked over to admire it seriously.

"This is a katana I captured during the Jinchaji anti-sweeping operation!"

As soon as he saw Ding Chenggong admiring his beloved things, Shen Ziqing immediately walked over with a smile and proudly introduced: "Back then, I was still the deputy commander of the Third Regiment of the Military Division, commanding a half battalion of regular troops and several local armed forces, eliminating a squadron of little devils and eliminating six turrets.

The squadron leader I killed with my own hands is still a descendant of a samurai family, and this knife has become my trophy! ”

"It's amazing!" Ding Chenggong said with heartfelt emotion: "The little devil soldiers are well-fed and have good weapons, and the aircraft, tanks, and artillery are even more powerful. To be able to annihilate a squadron of more than 200 people of the little devil with a force of seven or eight hundred people in one and a half battalions at one time is really a great victory! ”

"yes, little devils are not easy to fight!" Shen Ziqing couldn't help but think of the eventful years he had gone through, and sighed slightly: "Winning a war of resistance against Japan, the sacrifices we paid were too great!" The War of Resistance is really an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood! ”

"But after all, we still drove away the little devils!" Seeing her grandfather's sadness, Shen Baixue, who had a sharp mind, immediately said proudly: "This is the first time in modern times that we have won the battle against the invaders!" The sacrifice is worth it! ”

As she spoke, Shen Baixue immediately gave Ding Chenggong, who couldn't open his eyes, a look.

"That's right, the little devils have been driven back to their hometown in the three islands of the East Ocean, and they have to guard those small islands that often earthquake to live in fear!"

Ding Chenggong smiled knowingly, and said with feeling: "If those heroes and martyrs who died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan know that there is no more foreigner's concession on the Chinese territory, and there is no foreigner's warship in China's inland rivers and seas. You will also feel that your sacrifice is worth it! ”

"Dad, it's an ordinary family banquet, so don't talk about it with the guests!" Seeing that Ding Chenggong and the wild boy in the countryside actually talked more and more speculatively with the old man, Gu Chunyan hurriedly interrupted their topic. smiled and said, "The meals are all ready, hurry up and take a seat!" ”

Ding Chenggong, who was immersed in the memories of the past, noticed that the simple decoration and the sturdy and wide dining table were already full of carefully cooked delicacies!

To Ding Chenggong's surprise, there was no Western food and red wine that are popular among the rich and noble at the dinner table. There are no overly expensive delicacies from the mountains and seas, they are all ordinary dishes. On the dinner table, there is only a bottle of Feitian Moutai, which is not too expensive.

"It's all commonplace, you're welcome, please feel free!" Seeing that the dishes on the table were all very suitable for his appetite, Shen Ziqing smiled with satisfaction, and immediately greeted everyone boldly.

Seeing that there was no Western food and red wine of his own design on the table, Wei Jianhai, who wanted to make Ding Chenggong make a big fool, couldn't help but be disappointed, made a look, and quietly handed over Gu Chunyan out of the restaurant.

As soon as he came to the secluded place, Wei Jianhai asked anxiously, "Auntie, what about the Western food and red wine I asked you to prepare?" Why didn't you put it out! ”

"Our old man is not good at this!" Gu Chunyan immediately said seriously: "Besides, I already know the details of this kid!" Western food, red wine, piano and other Western etiquette are not difficult for him at all. Last time, the eldest young master of the old Han family lost an adult on this! ”

"What then!" Wei Jianhai was immediately as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and asked anxiously: "You didn't see how speculative he talked about with Old Man Shen!" If I don't think of a solution, I won't have any hope at all! ”

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Ding Chenggong, a wild boy from the countryside, will never want to be my son-in-law!" Gu Chunyan immediately smiled confidently: "I was ready for a long time." After eating, let him make a fool of himself in front of the old man! Let him never have the face to walk on the door of our old Shen family again! ”

Wei Jianhai relieved himself and accompanied Gu Chunyan back to the restaurant with a spring breeze on his face.

Soon, a hearty lunch ended in a harmonious atmosphere. The old man, who was still unsatisfied, took Ding Chenggong's hand, came to the katana, and said proudly: "Xiao Ding, do you want to see this katana of mine?" ”

"That's what the younger generation wants!" Ding Chenggong immediately said happily: "Let the juniors open their eyes well!" ”

"Alright, you're good at it!" Shen Ziqing immediately took off the katana and handed it to Ding Chenggong with pride.

With the knife in hand, Ding Chenggong immediately felt a familiar feeling. Gently drew the knife out of the sheath, and as soon as he saw the Japanese inscription on the knife, he couldn't help but read it softly: "Tsukikawa wishes Sayuki Xiuzhi, Jiayong three years and August obscurity!" One hundred and fifty years ago, the top knife produced by a famous artist is really a rare good treasure! ”

"You know so well!" Shen Ziqing was suddenly amazed and said, "Xiao Ding, you also have such a katana at home?" ”

"My family is an ordinary working family, how can there be such a baby!" Ding Chenggong immediately smiled humbly: "The juniors are just interested and know a little more!" ”

"Since Xiao Ding is so interested in swords, then the sword technique must not be wrong!"

Gu Chunyan immediately seized the "loophole" in Ding Chenggong's words, and instigated with a smile: "My father is a master of martial arts since he was a child, and he has cut off the heads of more than a dozen little devils with a big knife!" It's rare to meet such an expert as you, so why don't you take advantage of the joy and learn from my dad! ”

Shen Ziqing was also very interested in the cable: "Yes, there are fewer and fewer young people who like traditional martial arts now, and there has been no one to accompany me, an old man, to practice swords for a long time!" Xiao Ding, you can practice with me today! ”

"I don't have to get an axe in front of the old commander!" Ding Chenggong saw that although Commander Shen was still healthy, his qi and blood had been lost, and he didn't want to cause an accident in the competition, so he immediately smiled humbly: "My little martial arts are not enough in front of you, an old hero!" ”

"It's rare for my dad to have this interest, Xiaoding, you can accompany the old man to practice hard!" Gu Chunyan hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Just give Auntie a face, and accompany him to be happy and happy!" ”

"Yes, since Mr. Ding is so proficient in sword knowledge, then martial arts are absolutely not bad!" Wei Jianhai also hurriedly "instigated" loudly: "Don't be modest anymore, the old commander can't wait!" ”

"Grandpa, why are you still like this!"

Shen Baixue thought that Ding Chenggong didn't know how to pretend to understand and caused trouble for himself, so she hurriedly glared at him fiercely, and smiled to relieve him: "People finally take their friends home for a meal, and you insist on competing with him in martial arts, so who will dare to bring your friends to the door in the future!" ”

"I know what you're worried about!" Shen Ziqing immediately smiled and said, "Xue'er, don't worry, I will definitely save face for Xiao Ding, and I will never let him lose too badly!" ”

As soon as the old man said this, Ding Chenggong had no reason to shirk it. He immediately smiled and said, "Since Commander Shen is so gracious, the younger generation has no choice but to be afraid of being embarrassed, so he will be ugly!" ”
