Chapter Seventy-Two: The Invitation

PS: Because of a power outage, it is only updated at this time, sorry!

"Tell me the truth, are you the hell?" After getting into the jeep, I asked Zhang Fan.

Two Jeeps, four Liberated...... There are three-wheeled motorcycles in front of us, and there are traffic police officers directing us to go first when we cross the intersection along the way, and this battle seems too high-profile.

"What the hell am I doing?" Zhang Fan is pretending to be confused with me.

"I thought it was weird!" I said, "Only people who have made great contributions to Beijing come to give a report, how can we all come up ......?"

"Then you are the Company of Heroes! It is also deserved to have made so many contributions! ”

"There aren't too many heroes left in this battle?" I said, "Is it possible that every company of heroes has come to Beijing to give a report?" ”

"You're different!" Zhang Fan was still stubborn: "Where can you make meritorious contributions that other companies can compare!" ”

All right...... This sentence is actually telling me that we are indeed the only ones who have come to Beijing in a joint formation.

After a pause, Zhang Fan hesitated and asked, "What?" Angry? ”

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Zhang Fan said with some grievances: "Okay, I'm leaving." But I'm just saying it......"

Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, I couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't make a fool of yourself!" ”

"You ......" Zhang Fan realized that he had fallen for me, and couldn't help but glare at me fiercely.

In fact, where would I be angry because Zhang Fan did these things?

I'm used to it all in modern times. Second, more importantly, I think these are what we deserve in the second company, just like the other fighters said. We paid for it with our lives. So I don't feel ashamed of it at all.

The convoy drove down the street for a while. Originally, I wanted to see the scenery of old Beijing along the road, but I didn't expect to get more and more remote, and soon drove out of the city and turned into the highway......

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously.

"Go to so-and-so base!" Zhang Fan replied: "The troops who came down from the front line will be temporarily arranged there to recuperate for a period of time, and now it will be temporarily used as a training base for the Ninth Frontier Division!" ”

"Oh!" I answered.

It's no wonder that you have to go to the suburbs, you must know that this base and everything must be far away from the city, otherwise the troops will be frightened if they train to shoot a gun or something.

Sure enough, the convoy drove for more than an hour. Then I turned onto the mountain road and drove for more than half an hour, and then I drove into a barracks with high walls and towering guards, and the People's Liberation Army guarded and guarded everywhere.

Before I got out of the car, I saw soldiers walking and practicing everywhere, and all I heard was the sound of passwords, shouts of killing, and gunshots shooting at targets.

Alas! Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that the soldiers' original desire to come to Beijing to play is also going to be frustrated, isn't this just transferring from one military camp to another, the difference is only to fight and not to fight.

The car stopped in front of a four-story brick house after driving for a while, Zhang Fan jumped out of the car and said: "This is the guest house of the base, which is usually used to entertain visiting military families or cadres who come to inspect and observe, so we will live here!" ”

"Shall we?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "You also live here?" ”

"Of course!" Zhang Fan smiled: "My home is in the city, do I still take the car back and forth every day?" ”

"Oh!" I think so. It's been almost two hours to get to the city, and it's really a little inconvenient.

Later, I found out that this was actually just an excuse for Zhang Fan. As for her weishenme to live here...... Needless to say, the reason is clear.

Each room in the guest house has three beds that can accommodate three people, and one of our companies has two floors. That's pretty good...... But that's right, it's just a clean quilt, a kettle, and toiletries.

Although these are nothing, they are strange and rare for the soldiers who came down from the battlefield, and Xiao Liu, the correspondent who lived in the same room with me, made a fuss and shouted: "Company commander, there is still toothpaste here, do you want money?" If my family can use such a house, it will be worth the glory! ”

……

So I was a little weird...... Is there a more humble house than this? When I asked, I found out that most of these soldiers under my command were rural soldiers, and at this time, the houses in the countryside were generally wooden houses or mud-walled tile houses, just like the kind we saw in Vietnam, so it naturally felt like a grade to be able to live in this brick house.

"How? Satisfied! Zhang Fan knocked on the door and said to me, "I live next door, if I am not satisfied with anything or have any requirements......

I saw that the soldiers around me didn't pay much attention, so I asked maliciously, "You live alone?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" Zhang Fan's face flushed, and after glaring at me, he hesitated and said, "I...... Staying with Aunt Xu......"

I couldn't help but be disappointed when I heard this, and I knew in my heart that this was Zhang Fan's intention. With her connections, it would not be too easy to open a separate room here.

But I soon felt that this was normal...... Girls in this era are not as open as modern times, and they are not as bold as Chen Yiyi. Besides...... If she opened a room by herself, then everyone knew what her idea was.

As I said before, people in this era don't have any amateur pastimes, they just like to gossip...... So if Zhang Fan does this, I'm afraid that word of mouth will soon be poked in the back and said that it is not serious.

"Zhang Fan!" At this time, a shout came from the duty room downstairs: "Phone! ”

"Come on!" Zhang Fan answered and ran downstairs.

A few minutes later, Zhang Fan came back again, pulled me aside with a cloudy face, and whispered, "My parents want to see you!" ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned, if I'm not mistaken, what is Zhang Fan's father...... Military district order, isn't that the head of my chief? Is this going to see me?

"What are you doing? To go or not to go? ”

"The ......," I said, "you mean we're going back to the city again?" ”

Zhang Fan shook his head: "My parents are also in this base, why do you want to go back to the city?" ”

"Huh?" I couldn't help but wonder: "Then you just said that your home is in the city......

Zhang Fan couldn't help but be annoyed, and interrupted me a little angrily: "Why do you ask so much?" To go or not to go? ”

"Go ahead!" I say.

Although to be honest I really don't want to go because it would embarrass me...... I don't know if it will be better to treat him as a superior or a future father-in-law at that time, but the invitation of the commander of the military district ...... Can I refuse?

"Hmm!" Zhang Fan nodded, trying her best to pretend to be unrealistic, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still exposed her heart.

I took a shower before leaving, of course, this is Zhang Fan's request, if according to my own ideas...... I was only dirty when I was in the tunnel, but now it's pretty clean, and the uniform is new...... Is this worth washing?

But Zhang Fan didn't follow it, and asked me to wash it again anyway, saying that her mother loves cleanliness and wants to give her mother a good impression. I even asked for a new military uniform......

All right! After all, I went to see the chief, and I also wanted the military appearance, so I did it.

After finishing speaking, he confessed to Zhang Zuoliang, and followed Zhang Fan to get into a jeep and drive to the hinterland of the base...... Only then did I realize that this base is really big, a mountain after a mountain is all the territory of the base, and the jeep drove around for more than 20 minutes, but I am afraid that I have not completed half of this base!

Zuihou finally "squeaked", and the jeep stopped in front of a two-story house...... Watching Zhang Fan get out of the car and take me to the private house, I couldn't help but be stunned: The commander of the military region lives like this? It's no different from ordinary people's houses, the only difference is that there are two guards standing at the door!

I found out later...... In this era, what kind of army commander and commander, it sounds terrifying, but life and economy are also tight, and they will not be much better than ordinary cadres.

"Dad!" Walking into the house, Zhang Fan shouted cordially.

The old soldier who was sitting at the table and looking at the map with a magnifying glass came back to his senses: "Yo! You're back...... This is Comrade Yang Xuefeng! ”

As he spoke, the old soldier greeted him with a smile.

"Hello Chief!" I hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Huh! You're welcome! The old soldier shook my hand cordially and said, "There is no chief today, I am Xiaofan's father now, and I have come to express my gratitude to my daughter's life-saving benefactor!" ”

"Chief...... This ......"

"Huh!" The old soldier interrupted me and said, "It's not interesting enough to call the chief again, the contemptible surname is Zhang, and the single name is Yi...... I don't have any ability to be flat, but I have a little perseverance! I'm a little older than you, just call me Zhang Lao! ”

"Elder Zhang!" Seeing that the old soldier is so approachable, then I will no longer be polite.

......At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands with a little nervousness, and hurriedly opened when she greeted her: "It's Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Really...... Xiaofan, why don't you bring a cup of tea to the guests...... Sit down first, I'll prepare a few side dishes, and I'll eat here later!" ”

"Xiao Yang!" When Zhang Fan walked away, Zhang Yi said to me, "I have to explain something to you first...... I think you should also know what Xiaofan has been doing these days, and the reason why I have responded to her needs...... It's not because she's my daughter, it's not because you saved my daughter, it's because of your performance on the battlefield, I think you deserve it, your company deserves it, you understand? ”

"I understand!" I nodded, as the so-called heroes see in the same way, and I thought the same thing just now.

"That's good!" Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Then there is no problem, it just so happens that I also want to learn more about the situation on the next line, let's talk about it today!" (To be continued......)
