When Chan got home, it was late at night. Yao Yilei was still waiting for him, Jian Bing was not at home, Liu Ting took Xiao Nan to sleep early, making room and time for the two of them to enjoy the world of the two.

Needless to say, the winter night in Chongqing is extremely cold, and the two are lying silently on the warm and comfortable bed, each with their own concerns.

Yao Yilei still couldn't hide something in her heart, and her fingers drew circles on Chen Zikun's chest: "Say, did you sleep with the day master of the other drama troupe?" ”

Chen Zikun was a little weak-hearted: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Could it be that you slept with your daughter? Tsk, that girl is quite smart, in terms of age, it should be about the same as Xiaobei. ”

This time it was even more unbearable, Chen Zikun had to clarify: "At that time, it was really difficult to control the situation......"

Yao Yilei chuckled: "It's okay, I don't care about having one more sister in the family, and I don't care about the identities of their mothers, but you have to think clearly, our family's current situation, it's okay to feed two people, and feed twenty or thirty people, but I don't have that ability, there are few deposits in the account, and the family's big snacks and clothing are all maintained by the Jianbing Running Single Gang, but I don't dare to be as extravagant as before." ”

Chen Zikun said: "What about money? As for the machines transported to the rear in Beitai, there are hundreds of thousands of catties of scrap iron sold. ”

Don't mention this, it's really sad to mention it, Yao Yilei told all the grievances and tribulations she experienced after coming to Chongqing bit by bit, Chen Zikun was also sad when she heard it, her husband was too incompetent.

"I'm back, everything will be fine." Chen Zikun took Yao Yilei into his arms.

Early the next morning, Chen Zikun dressed up and dressed in a general's uniform, and rushed to the Military Commission to accept a new appointment; yesterday at the banquet, the commission had already tactfully told him that the Aviation Commission was now in charge of Zhou Zhirou, and it was at a critical moment of resistance against Japan, and it was not appropriate to change the generals in the immediate battle, and other positions were left to him, either as the deputy commander of a certain theater or as an important post in the Chongqing Military Commission, everything was up to him.

Just as I was about to go out, I heard the sound of a car closing outside, and then a woman spoke: "Thank you, see you later." ”

This was followed by the roar of a car, and slowly faded away.

Chen Zikun opened the door and saw Jian Bing dragging a large bag of things slowly over, and he didn't care about pulling a trace of hair down.

At this moment, Chen Zikun felt a sour nose and hurriedly stepped forward to lift the bag of things.

"Thank you." Jian Bing said casually, raised his head and saw that it was him, he was stunned, and stood in place like this, tears rolling down one by one, choking in his throat, suddenly pounced and bit and beat, howling and crying.

Finally appeased Jianbing, and it was too late to see the time, Chen Zikun hurried to the Military Commission, and when his car was far away, Yao Yilei said: "Jianbing, come here, I have something to discuss with you." ”

The two came upstairs, and Yao Yilei got straight to the point and said, "The master found another woman outside." ”

Jian Bing was not surprised: "It is inevitable that the master is lonely when he is alone, and it is normal to find a woman." After all, Yao Yilei of the Chen family has the highest status, and people report the situation to themselves in a consultative tone, it seems that they should share the same hatred, after all, there are too many women in the Chen family, and no one will be happy if there is one more person to share the favor, so she added: "What kind of person is it?" ”

Yao Yilei said: "It's the head of a drama troupe, in his thirties, and he has a beautiful daughter who is seventeen or eighteen years old. If you spread it, you won't be laughed at and killed. ”

Singing is a ninth-rate, social status is comparable to a fireworks woman, Jianbing was born in the dust, although it is a high-level girls' school book, but she is also a person in the flower world, and she doesn't have much prejudice against singing, but she doesn't think it's suitable.

"If it's a young and beautiful female actor, it's fine, a widow in her thirties, and with such a big daughter, that daughter must also be a red face."

In Jianbing's words, in fact, Yao Yilei is not worried about Bai Yufang, her threat is not high, but the mother and daughter join forces, I am afraid that no one in the family can be defeated, and when the time comes, Chen Zikun will be a master of all the ages, but he will really have no face to see people.

"Forget it, it still depends on the meaning of the master, after all, people have the grace to save their lives first, and if you have time in two days, please invite Bai Yufang's mother and daughter to come over for a meal and see the quality of their mothers, if it is still their duty, they will think about it again, if they are bent on climbing high branches, break it off as soon as possible." Yao Yilei made a decision.

Jianbing immediately agreed: "That's it." ”

……

Chen Zikun is very busy, his resurrection has brought a huge sensation to Chongqing, to put it bluntly, this matter is just a big oolong caused by the military's work mistakes, and the relevant personnel should be held responsible, but in another way of thinking, it can turn bad things into good things, the war situation is not good, people are panicking, Wang Jingwei defected, and a series of blows made the national government unstable, and it was time to make some gimmicks to cheer up the army.

As a result, Chen Zikun's resurrection from the dead was portrayed by the propaganda department as a legendary story of phoenix nirvana, and various versions of rumors flew all over the sky, greatly mobilizing the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the general public.

Naturally, the Medal of National Glory awarded to Chen Zikun will not be withdrawn, and a grand ceremony was held again, which was attended by people from all walks of life and reporters from the press.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar face, the person was wearing a dark gray tunic, a Chinese face, two thick eyebrows, and he was full of energy, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to him: "I haven't seen General Chen for a long time, and the last time we met was in France." ”

"Mr. Zhou!" Chen Zikun hurriedly handed the wine glass to the waiter, clasped Zhou Enlai's hand with both hands and shook it: "Thank you for taking care of my family." ”

"You're so polite, why bother with your hands." Zhou Enlai said.

"That being said, but at that time, I didn't see anyone helping." Chen Zikun said with emotion.

Zhou Enlai said with a smile: "From a small aspect, we are friends, friends are in trouble, naturally we have to lend a hand, from a large aspect, you are a national hero, how can you let the hero's family suffer, in short, these are what we should do." ”

The two talked happily, and Dai Li walked over with a smile: "Brother Zikun, Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about, so speculative." ”

"Oh, I'm saying, if General Chen's experience of fighting behind enemy lines is made into a movie, it will be a blockbuster." Zhou Enlai was very anxious and wise, knowing that it would be detrimental to Chen Zikun to be involved in a relationship with *** people, so he casually used a pretext to deal with Dai Li.

"Brother Zikun, I'm looking for you." Dai Li raised his glass in the other direction.

"Unaccompanied." Chen Zikun nodded at Zhou Enlai and walked to the small room next to the living room, where Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling were waiting for him.

Seeing Chen Zikun coming over, Chiang Kai-shek gently lowered the curtain and said, "Zikun, sit down, you and Zhou Enlai have met before?" ”

"Back to the chairman, when I returned from the United States to Europe in 1922, I had a relationship with him." Chan does not hide this experience.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled faintly and revealed the matter: "Zikun, I am ready to appoint you as the deputy commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and work with your old brother Li Delin, what do you think?" ”

Chen Zikun immediately refused: "Xie Weizuo cultivated, and he was not used to his deputy, I am afraid that he will not be able to play a role, and he will cause chaos to Commander-in-Chief Li." ”

Song Meiling complained: "Darling, Zikun just came back, his injuries have not healed yet, and within a few days of reuniting with his family, you sent him to the front line, it's too inhumane, I don't think it's better to do this, let Zikun rest for a while, and then pick up the burden after recovery." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Madame's words are wrong, the enemy will not give us a chance to breathe, during the period of Jiangbei operation, I have a deeper understanding of the war situation, although the Japanese invaders attacked the city and plundered the land, unstoppable, but with the extension of the front, their logistics line is getting longer and longer, and the strength is stretched, we should vigorously carry out operations behind enemy lines, open up guerrilla areas, drag the enemy's living forces, and reduce pressure on the frontal battlefield, in short, do everything you can to drag, drag until the enemy is exhausted, drag until Britain and the United States participate in the war, We won. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Zikun, what do you mean, you have to go back to the front line to fight?" ”

"Yes, I can't leave my fathers and fellow villagers in Jiangbei." Chen Zikun took out a small jade cigarette pouch from his pocket and told Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling about the origin of this tobacco pouch.

The story of the tragic and tragic battle behind the enemy line, and the story of the people who defended their homes and defended the country without fear of sacrifice deeply moved Song Meiling, so much so that she cried for it, and Chiang Kai-shek was also quite moved: "With such people, why worry about the invincibility of resisting Japan." ”

Chiang Kai-shek has not yet decided on Chen Zikun's new position, and the task given to him in the near future is to cooperate with the propaganda department to give speeches.

The attendant came in and reported, "Madam, take a seat, it's time to take a group photo." ”

Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling sorted out their clothes and went out to take a group photo with everyone, and Chen Zikun was specially arranged to sit in the seat next to the first row of committee seats.

The spotlight flashed, leaving a historical moment, the award ceremony officially ended, Chen Zikun was about to go back, suddenly a personable middle-aged man walked towards him, and said enthusiastically: "Hello General Chen, I wrote a poem for you." ”

"Who are you?" Chen Zikun said suspiciously, I don't know this person.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Guo Moruo, the director of the All-China Association of Literary and Art Circles to Resist the Enemy, and I am also a poet."

"It turned out to be a Guo poet, and I have admired it for a long time." Chen Zikun held Guo Moruo's hand, feeling that his hand was soft and boneless, cold and slippery.

Guo Moruo cleared his throat and began to recite: "Ah! A phoenix in flames! I sing for you, I chant for you, and you are nirvana in the flames! You are reborn in destruction! Lightning and thunder! Rejoice, great heroes are coming to us with sparks! ”

The poet was hysterical, walking around with his eyes closed, a lock of hair hanging down and throwing it up again, intoxicated by the poem.

Chen Zikun grabbed a passing staff member and asked, "Who put this person in?" ”

"Oh, this is Director Guo of the Third Department of the Political Department of the Military Commission." The staff smiled and explained, adding, "Talented people are like that." ”
