Chapter 170: Patrol
Chen Zui drove to the street alone, and saw that the shops on the street were closed, and the once lively city became deserted.
When passing by a few rice and grain shops, Chen Zui stopped and looked at the prices on the stand signs, which were only slightly adjusted, but there was no sky-high asking price, it must have been Li Chengjing who ordered to strictly control the merchants in various places not to raise prices, causing public resentment.
After two more turns, I saw that the soldiers had set up concentration camps for victims in many open areas, and there were porridge sheds in front of the camps. According to the current situation, the epidemic is temporarily controlled, and if we want to completely cure it, we can only rely on those great doctors to develop drugs as soon as possible.
The epidemic has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and Chen Zui is worried that if the epidemic cannot be ended in another month, Li Jiajun will be completely in a passive situation.
This plague is God's will, could it be that God does not approve of Li Chengjing and the mainstream of women's streaming? Disaster is to be brought down when she is in a good situation.
However, in addition to being a woman, Li Chengjing's talent and mind are far from being comparable to Song Bai and the two, if she is really taken over the world by the two of them, she is afraid that her life will be ruined. Or the heavens will descend on the great task and the people, this is the test of God for Li Chengjing.
When Chen Zui drove back to Kuang's house, a military vehicle happened to arrive at the door.
A person got out of the car and said: "I am the deputy general of Commander Liucheng Hong, surnamed Wu, and I have come to the situation to visit Gang Leader Chen on the order of Commander Hong." ”
"I am, what do you have to say?"
Vice General Wu bowed to a letter, "Commander Hong ordered his subordinates to hand over this letter to the gang leader, this is a telegram from the commander-in-chief. ”
Chen Zui took the envelope and said suspiciously: "Your commander-in-chief sent a telegram to me?" ”
Adjutant General Wu said: "Commander Hong told the subordinate so so, and he also said that the reason for it, the commander-in-chief made it clear in the letter, and the Chen gang leader knew at a glance that the subordinate still had military affairs, so he took his leave first." ”
Chen Zui returned to the guest room, and just as he was about to open it, Leng Chuxian walked in, just in time to see him holding a letter in his hand, "What is this?" ”
"Commander Hong ordered someone to send it, saying that it was a telegram sent to me by Cheng Jing." As he spoke, he opened the letter, and Leng Chuxian saw that his expression gradually became solemn as he read the message, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Zui said: "Cheng Jing hopes that I can patrol the coastal front line for her. "Give the letter to Leng Chuxian.
Li Chengjing said that the epidemic and the defeat ahead made her have no time to separate, and she was relieved of the situation along the coast, hoping that Chen Zui could inspect Yuchi Bay on her behalf.
"And when are you going to leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll go pack my bags."
"You went back to Jingu so soon, I thought you would stay in Liucheng for a few days."
"No, I'm going to Yuchi Bay with you."
Chen Zui persuaded: "The front line is not peaceful, if you don't want to go back to Jingu alone, just stay here and wait for me to come back to pick you up, okay?" ”
Leng Chuxian said: "My brother is going to take my sister-in-law to Guicheng, do you want to leave me here alone?" I won't go to war if I go, what do you have to worry about? Just let me go with you. ”
"Okay, let's go together." Holding her hand, "Chu Xian, when I finish inspecting Yuchi Bay, my covenant with Cheng Jing and my responsibility to the Xiao Gang will be fulfilled, and I will resign as the leader of the gang when I return to Jingu, and we will get married, okay?" ”
Leng Chuxian said goodbye to his face, his heart was as sweet as honey, and his mouth was still stubborn: "In this way, even if you propose, who wants to marry you?" ”
"Oh, if you don't want to, forget it."
Leng Chuxian's face changed sharply, and he turned around, "You ......"
Chen drunk "dong", knelt down on one knee, and a ring was glued between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, "Chu Xian, will you marry me?" ”
Leng Chuxian was speechless excitedly.
"I bought this ring quietly when I was in Jingu, and I imitated the foreigner to make a romantic proposal, and I don't know what the effect is?"
Leng Chuxian still didn't speak, but he was already in tears.
Chen Zui had the courage to put the ring into the middle finger of her right hand, and the size was just right.
Chen Zui stood up, Leng Chuxian threw himself into his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Chen Zui kissed her forehead, "Let's go back to see my father together today, tell her the good news, and go to Yuchi Bay together tomorrow morning, okay?" ”
Leng Chuxian nodded lightly.
After lunch, the two drove back to the countryside and arrived at dark. When she arrived at the door, Leng Chuxian was a little nervous, Chen Zui took her hand and smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous, I'm here." ”
"Dad, I'm back."
Father Chen was overjoyed to see his son come back, and when he looked at it again, the two of them entered the house holding hands, looking sweet and loving, like a young couple.
Chen Zui didn't wait for him to ask, and spoke directly, "Dad, Chu Xian and I are going to get married." ”
"What? Are you getting married? Daddy Chen was surprised.
Chen Zui smiled and said, "Dad, you heard it right, Chu Xian has already agreed to marry me." ”
Father Chen was overjoyed: "You sit down first, I'll prepare the meal, and talk slowly for a while." "Daddy Chen is finally looking forward to his son getting married, which is a hundred times happier than what kind of gang he is.
Leng Chuxian wanted to help, but Chen Zui told her to wait with peace of mind, he knew that his father would not let her interfere.
At the dinner table, Chen Zui briefly talked about the matter of the two, and Father Chen was sad for her when he heard that Leng Chuxian's father had just passed away, and persuaded her to mourn, and after the three of them discussed, they decided to hold a wedding next year.
Due to its remote location, the town has not been affected by the pandemic. After dinner, the two walked hand in hand on the street, there were basically no people in the countryside at night, the air was fresh, and the two walked leisurely, as if they had forgotten all their troubles.
The strange thing is that Chen Zui didn't speak after he came out, Leng Chuxian couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you speak when you come out, what are you thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking about you!"
Leng Chuxian smiled and said, "Poor mouth." ”
"What I said is true, Chu Xian, after I leave the Xiao Gang, do you want to live in the city or in the countryside? I'm all attached to you. ”
Leng Chuxian said softly: "It's good if you decide, I'll go wherever you go in the future." ”
"I have something to talk to you about." Chen Zui stopped suddenly as he walked, pointing to the right, "Look at this school, the education in our town has fallen, so I thought about it, in the future, we will come here to teach, and also to train the next generation for the country, do you say?" ”
Leng Chuxian nodded: "Okay!" ”
"Also, we can have four or five children in the future, so that they can go to school together and have company."
Leng Chuxian was taken aback: "Huh? Four or five? ”
Chen Zui looked at her and asked with a smile, "Is there any problem?" ”
"Don't." Leng Chu was so ashamed that he ran away.
Chen Zui chased after him, "If you think four or five is too much, then we can discuss it again......
Chen Zui was about to fall asleep, and Father Chen came to his room to look for him and count the family wealth with him. Father Chen told him that all the money in their family now adds up to almost 10,000 oceans.
Chen Zui was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth and asked his father how their family had so much money.
Father Chen said that except for a small part of the harvest from the crops, most of them are his monthly money every month and gifts sent by people during the New Year's holidays.
Chen Zui said that he didn't know anything, and he bluntly said that although he had the right to arbitrarily dispose of the money in the gang as the gang leader, he still thought that these were all the foundations laid down by the Xiao gang leader, and he had no right to squander them wantonly. Every month, I just add a few more oceans to my previous salary and send it back, and I will only prepare a small gift for the New Year's holidays.
However, Daddy Chen told him that the monthly money and gifts he sent to each time were not only thin, but also very heavy.
Chen Zui suddenly realized that he really didn't dare to be extravagant, but the people under him didn't know his intentions, and even if they knew, they didn't dare to really treat the helper's father so badly, so every time he sent money, he was several times more than he said.
He handed over the things on the accounts to Chen Youwei for checking, and Chen Youwei would not ask him about this matter. Father Chen always thought it was his son's filial piety and never mentioned it.
Chen Zuiyi felt a little ashamed, and then thought about it, something had happened, and it was impossible to return the money, so he had to persuade himself to accept it gladly.
Thinking about it, he found that if he had this money, he could not only support his father, but also give Leng Chuxian a guarantee, as a manly husband, he didn't want to use Leng Chuxian's money after getting married.
In fact, when the Xiao Gang leader was in power, he was far more extravagant than Chen Zui, and the Xiao Gang had his current status in the hands of Chen Zui, with his contribution to the Xiao Gang, these money were still just a drop in the bucket, and he could accept it with peace of mind.
After talking about the money, Chen Zui told his father that he was about to quit the gang and return to his hometown to teach. Father Chen heard that the situation outside was very chaotic in the countryside, and he was often worried about his son, and now he can go back to the countryside to live a peaceful life, which is very good.
Seeing that his father was worried, Chen Zui didn't dare to tell him that he was going to the front line tomorrow, and only said that he had something to go back to Jingu.
Early the next morning, they set off to the south, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Chen Zui was also worried about the safety of the coastal soldiers, fortunately, the further south the epidemic situation became weaker, Li Chengjing transferred nearby doctors to the army as soon as possible, and the epidemic always did not affect the army.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the car had just passed through Yangzhou, and the wind suddenly blew in front, followed by a burst of lightning and thunder, and a torrential rain poured down.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and for the sake of safety, Chen Zui had to slow down. As a result, there was a delay of an hour, and it was not until half-past three that they arrived at the commander of the navy, and the heavy rain was still pouring outside.
Chen Zui took out the envelope and handed it to the soldiers, asking for Commander Hua to be communicated. After a while, the soldiers came to report to Commander Hua and asked them to enter the palace immediately to meet them, and their tone was very anxious.
After the two went in to meet with Commander Hua, they learned that the front line was in an emergency: in the afternoon, a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea, and the wind was facing the shore, blowing the warship unsteadily, followed by a heavy rainstorm, and the soldiers did not have time to deal with it, but the enemy seized this opportunity to launch a sudden attack.
The soldiers hurriedly responded to the battle, but due to the influence of the wind, the range of the guns was blocked, and the enemy's guns came with the wind, and the situation at the front was not good.
Commander Hua received the news of an urgent situation at the front and was mobilizing two naval forces to support.
Commander Hua invited the two to rest in the back hall, and he was going to the front line to supervise the battle.
Chen Zui wanted to go with him, so Commander Hua ordered someone to clean up the guest room for Leng Chuxian.
