Chapter 25: The Lively Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet

"Inexplicable......" Mo Li muttered as she looked at the curtain that was shaken by Murong Chu. It's obviously good just now, no matter how you say that you lose your temper, you lose your temper, this man is really moody, and he turns his face faster than turning a book.

In fact, Murong Chu himself felt inexplicable, I don't know why, when he heard Mo Li say that he would let him go back to the capital, a trace of hope seemed to rise in his heart, and the ghost asked her if she would also go to the capital, but the negative answer made him feel that a nameless fire rushed to the top of his head.

Although Murong Chu and Mo Li tacitly did not mention this matter again, the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the past. Murong Chu changed his self-proclaimed self-proclaimed self-proclaimed from "I" back to "General Ben", while Mo Li carefully maintained his distance. This icy atmosphere lasted until the 30th day of the lunar month, that is, the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, all military affairs were stopped from the afternoon. The barracks were filled with laughter, and everyone's faces, whether they were generals or soldiers, were filled with joy.

That night, all the officers and soldiers were going to have dinner together, Lao Qiao and Ershun both went to the big kitchen to help, and Mo Li also went to join in the fun. When it was time to hold the lamp, several bonfires were lit in the camp, and large rectangular tables were placed around the bonfires, and the soldiers sat together in groups of three or five with acquaintances, chatting about their parents' shortcomings, whose family had a good harvest this year, and who would go home next year to marry a daughter-in-law......

Murong Chu and the generals naturally sat at the main table, and after everyone arrived, he stood up and raised the wine glass in his hand to his chest: "Soldiers! As soon as he spoke, the whole camp fell silent, and everyone stood up facing the main table.

"In the past, all the soldiers and soldiers Jin Ge Iron Horse fought hard to spill their blood on the field, and raised my great Zhou Hongwei, so that there is today's peaceful and prosperous world. But how many of my big Zhou good sons Lang Ma Ge shrouded in a long time to sleep in a foreign land. Today's first glass of wine is to pay tribute to those martyrs who served the country for my Great Zhou! As Murong Chu's words fell, everyone solemnly spilled the wine on the ground with him.

Sun Han on the side filled Murong Chu's wine glass, and Murong Chu raised his glass: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the soldiers can't return to their hometown, how many parents, wives and children are looking forward to their hometown, but we can't fulfill their dream of reunion." This second glass of wine is to the hometown fathers! Dry! ”

"!" The soldiers' resounding voices in unison contain a strong sense of homesickness. Mo Li's heart, who was standing in the midst of everyone, felt a sourness, although she was in a different situation from others, but at this time she also remembered her relatives in the previous life.

Her sudden departure will inevitably make them sad, even a hundred times sadder than the families of other soldiers. After all, for them, there is no chance to even hope for. Thinking of this, Mo Li couldn't help but redden, and it wasn't until Ershun, who was beside her, touched her with his elbow that she came back to her senses.

I don't know what Murong Chu said just now, after all the soldiers shouted "do" in unison, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became noisy.

"What did he just say?" Mo Li asked Ershun.

"General Murong toasted everyone, and said that today each Wu will enjoy a jar of wine and a side of meat." Er Shun automatically ignored the words in Murong Chu's words that he didn't understand, and only grasped the key points he thought.

Mo Li let out an "oh" with a lack of interest, and Ershun asked worriedly, "Ah Li, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing. Come, let's drink. Mo Li raised his glass as he said, "Uncle Qiao, Brother Ershun, thank you for taking care of me, I salute you for this glass of wine." As soon as she drank it, the warm liquor ran down her throat and into her stomach, making her choke and cough. I just took a small sip, although it was a little spicy, but it was also within the acceptable range, and now I took a big sip, and I suddenly felt like my throat and stomach were burning.

Ershun hurriedly patted her on the back, and Lao Qiao looked at her slightly red eyes and asked, "Ah Li, are you homesick?" ”

Mo Li finally stopped coughing and waved his hand: "I'm fine, I just choked." ”

"Ah Li, you eat more food." Ershun kept sandwiching vegetables into the bowl in front of Mo Li, and after a while, the bowl was almost piled up into a hill.

"Brother Ershun, if you put all the dishes in my bowl, other brothers will have opinions." Mo Li pouted.

Ershun smiled: "Ah Li, you are too thin, you should eat more." Brothers will not have an opinion. ”

"Ah Li, with your small body, how much can you eat if you eat hard."

"That's it, Ah Li, you just eat openly."

"Ah Li usually gives us delicious food, but now it's okay to eat more, who still doesn't say a word, see if I don't beat him."

Everyone echoed, Mo Li was infected by everyone's enthusiasm, and had already thrown the sadness just now to Java, and laughed with everyone.

Murong Chu at the main table in the distance looked at the smiling man in the crowd with a gloomy face, and his heart was indescribably awkward. The soldiers knew that he was a person who did not like to socialize, so no one took the initiative to come forward to toast. Only Mu Qingyun, who was sitting next to him, picked up the cup from time to time, and didn't care if he drank it or not, just touched his cup, and then drank it himself.

"Achu, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't keep a straight face, okay?" Mu Qingyun touched the wine glass in front of him again, "Seeing how happy everyone is, just sit alone in the cold, don't eat food, and don't even drink wine." ”

Murong Chu raised his glass and took a sip, but his eyes were still staring into the distance, and he whispered hatefully: "Why do you love to laugh so much!" ”

Mu Qingyun looked at him along his line of sight: "Isn't it good to laugh?" Can't you cry during the New Year? I look very good at smiling, I like to see Xiao Lili laughing. ”

A cold look shot over, making Mu Qingyun shudder, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Achu, is it that Xiao Lili went to drink with others and didn't come to serve you, are you unhappy?" ”

"Hmph," Murong Chu snorted coldly, "No one has served me all these years, and I'm not living well." ”

Mu Qingyun sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, you're so boring, I'll go find someone else to have a drink." After that, he took Sun Han to drink.

This lively Chinese New Year's Eve banquet lasted until the end of the day, and Mo Liben was not a lively person, so he hid alone on the edge of the camp after laughing with everyone for a while, watching the noisy crowd from a distance. She didn't want to go back to the big tent, because she saw that Murong Chu had already left the table, and instead of staring at him in the big tent, it was better to take a look at the excitement here.

Leaning on a wooden stake used for practice, Mo Li raised his eyes to look at the sky, the stars in the sky did not know when they had disappeared, and even the crooked crescent moon was hidden behind the clouds, looming. Thinking back to last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family got together, how warm it was, but now I am alone in another world.
