Chapter 674: The Wedding Feast Goes On!
Although the war in Henan has touched the hearts of many people in Yan'an. But for this situation www.biquge.info Yan'an has actually been prepared. In this case, again, the established plans for the convening of a military-political conference were not canceled.
With the return of Xu Xiangqian, the commander of the 117th Division, who was farthest from Yan'an, and Zeng Zhongsheng, the political commissar. The division commanders and political commissars of the ten main divisions of the Eighth Route Army have all gathered on Yan'an, and the military and political meetings can be launched at any time.
It's just that before the meeting, the military and political leaders who rushed to Yan'an for the meeting all received an invitation written by He Zhengdao himself. The content is also very simple, that is, to invite these military and political leaders to participate in his wedding banquet with Chen Siya.
In fact, the military and political leaders of the divisions who returned to Yan'an during this period brought some congratulatory gifts to He Zhengdao when they returned to Yan'an. After all, when they received the telegram back to Yan'an for a meeting, they all knew that He Zhengdao was getting married.
As the youngest of the ten main division commanders, He Zhengdao is also the only division commander who has not yet married. They are public and private, so they naturally need to prepare a congratulatory gift for He Zhengdao. In this way, it can also show the friendship between comrades!
Different from the previous thanksgiving banquet, this time He Zhengdao's wedding banquet was directly held in the canteen of the military recruitment office. The place is spacious, and so many military and political cadres can be arranged to dine together. This dinner can be regarded as a celebration banquet between the central government and the headquarters.
In the more than a year since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army has grown from the main force of about 200,000 to about 200,000 in the ten main divisions before the reorganization. So far, it has not doubled directly, and such an expansion scale also makes the central government and the headquarters happy.
According to the establishment of the Nationalist Government, the actual strength of each main division at present is enough to expand by one army. Although they are still commensurate with each other as division commanders, in fact, the troops under the command of these division commanders are not much different from the national * army.
Looking at He Zhengdao, who had changed into a new military uniform, and Mr. He of the 120th Division, who returned from Xinzhou, also said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy." You, the groom's official, are really a bit of a groom when you clean up like this today! ”
Listening to Mr. He's joke, He Zhengdao said with a wry smile: "Mr. He, just spare me!" Today, you are all seniors, so you can't just pour my wine. Otherwise, I won't be able to touch the door of my home! ”
As a result, at this time, Zeng Zhongsheng laughed and joked: "I think you are afraid that you will get drunk and can't find the door you really want to enter!" ”
One sentence caused laughter from all the military and political leaders. Perhaps only at this time will everyone feel more relaxed, forgetting that the young man in front of them is an important general in the Eighth Route Army, just like them.
As a person who has come over and an old-timer, ridiculing a junior like He Zhengdao is naturally something that they feel very happy about. Since it is a wedding wine, the more lively the better. Some words are naturally meat and vegetarian taboo.
Fortunately, at this time, Chen Siya, as the bride, accompanied those ladies. This time, He Zhengdao held a wedding wine, which also gave these military and political leaders who returned to Yan'an a chance to reunite with their families.
He Zhengdao and Chen Siya, who are small characters, really seem a little helpless in front of these big brothers and sisters. Fortunately, although everyone likes to laugh and play, they also know that they can't go too far.
Especially as the commander of the new 67th Army, He Zhengdao is also currently on a mission. Although He Zhengdao was not in charge of the Henan Campaign, the New 67th Army was also the main force in the Henan Campaign, and he needed to give some instructions to the troops at any time.
With the arrival of the **** and Mr. Zhu and other central leaders, the military and political leaders who have been waiting for a long time naturally got up collectively to greet them. And the position of the head table is naturally reserved for them to sit.
With the arrival of these leaders, the **** who was sitting as a witness to today's marriage was also very happy, and took the microphone handed by the guard and said: "Comrades, what day is today, I don't think I need to say that everyone already knows."
Yes, today is the wedding day of He Zhengdao, commander of our independent column, and Chen Siya, a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency. As a witness to the marriage of the couple today, I feel very honored to be able to witness the marriage of a revolutionary couple once again.
I will not say much about Comrade He Zhengdao's situation. I think you're all familiar with him. As for reporter Chen Siya, that is a rare beauty of our Yan'an News Agency who is both talented and beautiful!
Most importantly, our Chen reporter department is well-known, and his parents are both professors at our Yan'an University. She herself is a top student who graduated from Yenching University. Commander He, who married us, is indeed a little aggrieved.
Today I am a witness, and I am also half of Xiao He's elder. Comrade Siya, in the future, you will be fully responsible for the life of the righteous path. In life, you are his commissar. If he doesn't obey and disrespects you in the future, just clean him up! ”
A slightly witty remark made Chen Siya a little red-faced, but it caused the guests to laugh. Political commissar in life, such an adjective is also very suitable for the families of many military and political chiefs today.
After laughing, **** continued: "Today is a day of great joy, and it is also the first time that the military and political leaders of our party and the army have gathered. Speaking of which, it should be a good day for double happiness, and everyone can have two more drinks later.
It's just that everyone will be a little more leisurely, and let our groom official a horse today. After all, people still have to enter the cave room today, so you must not let him not even enter the door. When the time comes, he will blame you for the rest of your life! ”
'Chairman, you can't do that!' On such a festive day as today, how can the bridegroom not drink? However, before toasting, shouldn't they be allowed to take two sips and drink a glass of wine? ’
Mr. Zhu, who was standing on the side, seemed unwilling to let go of He Zhengdao easily, and he also smiled and encouraged. It is also a very common thing for husband and wife to drink a glass of wine. This is also an inherent ceremony in marriage!
With Mr. Zhu's encouragement, someone soon sent a microphone to He Zhengdao. As today's groom official, He Zhengdao also knows that if he wants to go through this transition easily, he is afraid that it will not be so easy.
took the microphone and said, "First of all, thank you to all the leaders and seniors today for attending my wedding banquet with Siya. It's also an honor for both of us to be able to catch up with such a good time. Even when we get old, we will remember moments like today.
Six years ago, I became the chairman's guard, officially joined our party and our army, and became a glorious soldier. From joining the army to the present, I never thought that I would have such a person, and even get married with such a grand scene.
Sometimes when I think about it privately, I also feel that I am quite lucky, to be able to marry an intellectual and tolerant girl like Siya, and to be loved by all the leaders and seniors, and the righteous path is really inscribed.
I have always thought that only when there is a country can there be a home, and I originally planned to do a good job in the revolution, and when the time will be the peaceful liberation of the whole of China, then I will find my own love and form my own family.
But now I also understand that only a few small families can form a big country. Today I have fulfilled the dream of this small family, and in the future, I will strive for the construction of a prosperous, strong and democratic new China with a hundredfold spirit and energy! ”
Such a remark, when said when they got married, also made some associations among everyone. As He Zhengdao said, in the eyes of many leaders who attended the wedding banquet, He Zhengdao was indeed a very lucky guy.
Let's not talk about it, He Zhengdao married a cultured and well-educated lady like Chen Siya. Let's just say that He Zhengdao is really lucky to be one of them at such an age, and even a relatively high-ranking military commander.
At the end of the newcomer's speech, in the greeting of Mr. Zhu, He Zhengdao and Chen Siya, as newlyweds, still respectfully held a cup of tea and served it to Chen Siya's parents, who also sat on the main seat with **** and others.
Listening to He Zhengdao's parents, Chen Siya's father was also a little moved: "Zhengdao, you are a good boy and a good cadre." In the future, Siya will be handed over to you, I hope you can take good care of her. ”
The water spilled by the married daughter, even if Chen Siya will stay in Yan'an in the future. But Chen Siya's parents both know that for Chen Siya in the future, He Zhengdao is the heaven that supports her spirit.
It was also at this time that He Zhengdao once again held a cup of tea with Chen Siya, walked towards the **** and Sister He: "Chairman, I was born an orphan, I don't know who my parents are when I was a child, and I was raised by my master since I was a child.
When the master left me by your side, you taught me what revolution is and how to do things. When I was in the Gannan Soviet District, you and Sister He also regarded me as family, and I have always remembered it.
Today is the day when I get married to Siya, and Siya and I would like to take this cup of tea to thank you for your care and teaching to me. I can marry Siya, and it is also you and Sister He who help, and you are also invited to drink this cup of tea! ”
In front of so many people at the scene, the two of them toasted the **** couple alone with a cup of tea, which undoubtedly explains some problems. But thinking about He Zhengdao when he joined the army, he was really a hairy boy who didn't know anything.
Although he has an extraordinary martial arts, he still seems a little unsophisticated when he is a person and does things. But in just six years, He Zhengdao has been dealing with people, and many people who are not used to him can't find any thorns.
Zhou Enlai, who was sitting on the side, also smiled and said, "Chairman, it seems that you have to drink this cup of tea!" As a matchmaker and a leader who leads the righteous path to the revolutionary road, this tea cannot be drunk by anyone except you! ”
With the support of Zhou Enlai, Mr. Zhu and others, **** could only pretend to be helpless and said: "Do you kid think that you have spent all your stickers for a happy wine, and you plan to let me and your eldest sister wrap a big red envelope for you!" ”
In a word, everyone involved in the wedding banquet also laughed. But in the end, it was Sister He who seemed to have been prepared, and took out two red envelopes from her body and said: "Siya, these two red envelopes will be handed over to you, and you will have to seize this financial power in the future." ”
In this way, Chen Siya once again seemed a little embarrassed. But seeing He Zhengdao nodding and signaling her to take the red envelope, the atmosphere at the scene became lively again.
But many people understand that with today's cup of tea, the relationship between He Zhengdao and his wife and the **** family will be closer in the future! (To be continued.) )
