Since the establishment of the Central Cluster, in accordance with the order of the General Headquarters, the Central Cluster Command has been stationed in Zhangjiakou and at the same time responsible for the defense of the Beijing-Tianjin area. Next year, according to the order of the headquarters, the combat mission of the central cluster is to enter Outer Mongolia to fight against Russia. It can be said that the task is very heavy, on the one hand, it is necessary to expand the army on a large scale, and on the other hand, it is necessary to prepare for military operations in the coming year. At present, the main force of the Oksakko cavalry is still entrenched in Outer Mongolia, so Commander Leng Yifei has done a lot of preliminary work.

At present, the First Army and the Second Army of the Central Cluster have been sent to the border area between Inner and Inner Mongolia to carry out targeted defense. According to the actual situation, the headquarters requires the middle lane cluster to adopt a steady and steady tactic to advance step by step, the main reason is that considering the problem of logistics and supply, it cannot take a long drive to go deep in a big step. After all, Outer Mongolia and Siberia are sparsely populated and it is not easy to supply them on the spot, and all military supplies need to be transported in the rear, and hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting in an astronomical amount.

According to Deng Zixuan's plan, this time the central cluster advanced into Outer Mongolia and then into Siberia, and sent a military reclamation regiment to go out together. There are 10 regiments and about 10,000 people. There is no doubt that wherever the army fights, it will take root, and being able to solve the supply on the spot is the foundation of the foothold. Therefore, the General Headquarters did not clearly define the campaign tasks, and explicitly demanded that the front army headquarters and front-line commanders be given full autonomy and flexibly control them according to the situation.

As soon as Leng Yifei and Khalid were busy making their eyebrows, they received an order from the headquarters to enter Beijing to participate in the founding ceremony. The headquarters required that his wife must be brought, so Khalid brought his wife Yao Xi'er for 100 years. Yao Xi'er has been doing logistics work at the Corps headquarters. This time, she was transferred to the central cluster and served as the director of the quilt factory at the cluster headquarters. At present, the uniforms of the National Defense Forces are uniformly distributed by the General Headquarters. Normally, each soldier is two sets of uniforms. One is a regular uniform, which is a ceremonial dress, and the other is a training uniform, which is worn during training and combat. The headquarters of the cluster is a quilt factory. The main purpose is to sew up the damaged combat training uniforms and send them out after they have been repaired, so as to save money.

The group set off from Zhangjiakou and walked in the direction of the capital. Zhangjiakou is the closest to the capital, and they are not in a hurry. Leng Yifei and Khalid walked side by side, and seeing a smile on the corner of the commander's mouth from time to time, Khalid teased: "Commander." Haven't been with your sister-in-law in a few years? "It's been 4 years since I was separated from her last time, and my son is 9 years old this year. It's usually nothing, but when I want to see them, I miss them. Leng Yifei's black and red face shone brightly.

"Commander. People say that Xiao Bei is like a newlywed, and now you are in the cave room after a long absence! Khalid smiled slyly. Leng Yifei smiled: ", I'm in my forties, and I feel that way there." It's not like you're in the prime of life. Old husband and wife. Leng Yifei suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, by the way, there is a letter from the headquarters, Li Hongzhang's daughter asked to join the army, and she wanted to come to the Central Cluster Command by name in front of the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief approved it." I wonder a little, why did she come to the Central Cluster Command if she didn't stay in Beijing, it's puzzling? ”

Khalid couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. The scalp is tingling. The affectionate eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, and his heart suddenly went up and down. No sound was found. Leng Yifei turned his head and saw Khalid's embarrassed expression, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, it turns out that this little girl is coming for you, and I honestly explain whether I have a leg with the little girl in the capital." "Commander, don't talk nonsense, I don't have the guts. In the capital, the little girl pestered me repeatedly, but I promise it's okay. Frankly, it's a fool not to be moved, I'm not Megumi Yanagishita, but I can't be Chen Shimei either. I didn't expect this little girl to be really scheming. ”

"Haha, it's going to be lively in the future, your kid is in big trouble!" Leng Yifei happy daxiao. "Commander, whose trouble is it?" Yao Xi'er caught up from behind and asked with great interest. Khalid was speechless because of his weak heart, and Leng Yifei said to him: "Brother and sister, it's about military matters, so don't ask." Speaking of military matters, Yao Xi'er inconveniently followed and asked: "Commander, I can see my sister-in-law in the capital, my sister-in-law must be a great beauty!" ”

"Your sister-in-law used to be Madame's personal maid, do you think it can be beautiful," Leng Yifei said. Yao Xi'er said openly: "I heard that my sister-in-law is amazing, the commander is angry at home!" Leng Yifei was stunned when he heard this, and glared at Khalid fiercely, meaning that you kid dare to say anything, Khalid hurriedly twisted his face to the side. Leng Yifei explained: "This ??? Being afraid of a wife is also a way of love, the more afraid of the wife is, the more fierce the love, I am the most haode example. ”

Khalid felt Leng Yifei's embarrassment and hurriedly said: "What are you talking nonsense, while I go to discuss something important with the commander!" Yao Xi'er was bored, and looked at her husband suspiciously, so she had to slow down and retreat to the back. Khalid hurriedly explained: "Commander, this is not what I said, my wife listened to He Meng's wife. "To tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of my wife, if I don't have scruples??????。" Leng Yifei felt inappropriate, stopped. Khalid knew what the commander was trying to say, so he had to pretend to be confused.

Khalid diverted the topic, turned around and forgot to glance at his wife and said: "Commander, to be honest, that Miss Li is here, I am a little worried, in case I can't hold it, it's troublesome, and none of our family is easy to mess with, do you want to think of a way not to let her come to the headquarters?" Leng Yifei shook his head and said, "How can Commander-in-Chief Chrysostom change his words, and besides, I don't have any reason not to let her come." You kid can figure it out for yourself! The key is to get your wife done, otherwise you will be in real trouble. ”

A group of people arrived at Huailai County at dusk, the county is located between Zhangjiakou and the capital, the geographical location is just right, it is an important post station between the capital and Zhangjiakou, so there are many commercial ports here, very prosperous. Huailai County is an important fruit producing area in Hebei Province, and it is the season for a large number of fruits to be marketed. The climate here is pleasant, the products are abundant, and it has the reputation of "thousands of miles of mulberry and ocean, for wealth" since ancient times.

Huailai County produces many fruits and species, there are hundreds of species. For example, fruits are: longan grapes, eight-sided begonias, golden silk jujubes, stone yellow apricots, Hengling walnuts, meadow apples, Beixinbao Ya pears, etc. When the group walked into the county seat, the fruity fragrance of the street was immediately permeated and refreshing. The vendors on the street immediately shouted when they saw the men in military uniforms. Yao Xi'er saw the melons and fruits all over the street, and immediately became excited. Most women are greedy. Nature can't be let go.

Leng Yifei and Khalid were not very interested in fruits, and seeing that his wife was elated, Khalid had no choice but to order the guards to follow and buy fruits. On the way, I heard Leng Yifei say that Miss Li was coming to the headquarters. Khalid had always been worried in his heart, so he had no other thoughts. The squires who followed also joined the purchase. Since it is the season when fruits are marketed in large quantities, it is very cheap.

After a while, Yao Xi'er gained a lot, she bought almost everything she saw, and two guards followed her, each carrying a basket in her hand. While eating in his mouth, he was tired and sweating profusely. Yao Xi'er was purchasing, and she was also full of food. "Commander, Lide. Eat it, you two, it's fresh. Yao Xi'er shouted happily and loudly. Leng Yifei waved his hand and said, "I don't want to eat, seeing that you eat with relish, my mouth is full of sour water." ”

Khalid glared at his wife, indicating that he had no appetite either. "You guys really won't enjoy it. The grapes here are sweet and not sour at all. We don't have such delicious grapes in our hometown. Yao Xi'er turned to the guards who followed and said, "You let go of your belly and eat, I will cover it all!" "The deputy commander's wife is usually bold, and the guards are naturally not polite. Leng Yifei said: "It's rare for them to be so happy, let them enjoy it." ”

There happened to be a tea stall opposite, and Leng Yifei and Khalid walked over and sat down. "Master Jun, this is haode black tea, which is cool and silky just to relieve the heat." The tea stall owner is right, the autumn tiger is also very hot. Leng Yifei and Khalid drank the herbal tea in one go, and they were addicted. Leng Yifei remembered something and said, "Look at how beautiful they eat." Let's buy more and give them to my wife and daughters. Express our hearts. "Good idea?" Khalid stood up and walked over to his wife.

Since there were so many varieties of fruit, I simply hired a horse-drawn cart and bought a cart full of fruits. It was nearly dusk, and after finishing the meal in a restaurant, I found an inn and the group stayed. Due to the fatigue of the journey, everyone entered their respective rooms and soon entered the dream. Sleeping until midnight, Khalid woke up with a humming sound, and he hurriedly lit the candle and found that his wife was covered with sweat and covered her stomach and hummed. "What's wrong with you? Is it an upset stomach! Yao Xi'er said weakly: "My stomach hurts and hurts." "Call you greedy, if you eat less for dinner, you must have eaten too much fruit."

After a while, an old Chinese medicine doctor with a gray beard was invited and began to check Yao Xi'er's pulse. Leng Yifei also got up and walked in and asked, "What's wrong with my brother and sister?" "My stomach hurts, and I eat too much fruit!" Khalid shook his head helplessly. The old Chinese medicine doctor in the back room finished taking the pulse, calmly took out the silver needle, and pricked the needle at several acupuncture points of Yao Xi'er. Soon, Yao Xi'er's pain stopped, and a flush began to appear on her face.

The old Chinese medicine doctor put away the silver needle, stood up and walked out of the room, and said with a smile on his face: "This general, congratulations to your wife for being happy, it has been three months." Fruit is a cold thing, her stomach and intestines are affected by the cold fetal gas, there is no big problem, just sleep for a night, but the fruit can not be eaten more. Khalid was overjoyed when he heard this: "The old gentleman is really a wonderful rejuvenation, and give 10 silver dollars to the old gentleman." "General, the Northern Expeditionary Army is an unprecedentedly righteous army, and I swear that from now on I will not charge a penny for the diagnosis of the army, and the old man will take his leave."

Khalid glanced at the captain of the guard, who understood, and secretly placed 10 silver dollars in the old man's chest. Seeing off the old gentleman, Leng Yifei said dissatisfiedly: "Look! How thick the heart is, I don't know if my wife has a child in her belly. , what are you eating?" "This??? It's not ???, hi! I can't explain it to you! After saying that, Khalid hurriedly walked into the house. Leng Yifei looked at his back and thought that this kid was strong enough, so he went straight back to his room. ”

"I said Xi'er, how did you do it, you gave birth to two children, and you didn't know you were pregnant? If something happens to my son, see how I fix you! Khalid went into the house and complained with his head and face. Xi'er seemed to be silent in happiness and said: "I still wonder about that, I haven't been here for three months, and I blame me for being careless, but why didn't I react at all this time?" "Haha, this time it must be a son, two daughters in a row, God should open his eyes, wife, you can really do it." Khalid stepped forward and grabbed his wife's face and kissed it vigorously.

On the road the next day, Khalid said, "This time my wife must be pregnant with a son?" Leng Yifei sneered: "How can you conclude that it must be a son?" If it's a girl again! "I have two daughters, God should open his eyes, I don't believe that I can be the last." "Maybe it's a girl again, don't be too happy!" "I said Commander, you can't follow me and make me happy!"

Khalid admitted his death, and Leng Yifei smiled and said: "Okay, go take care of your wife, seeing that you are almost in the capital, don't have any more mistakes." It backfired, and Khalid got another thousand gold. (To be continued......)

PS: Hot-blooded soldiers also have a love for their children, and the commander and deputy commander of the Central Cluster experienced this on the way to Beijing.
