Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Son-in-law of the East Bed (Part II)

Mei smiled triumphantly. At such a distance, Zhan Zhizhan felt Mei Xiaoran's exhalation like an orchid and the faint fragrance of a girl, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy in his mind, and he almost lost himself.

Mei smiled mischievously and rushed to Zhan Zhizhan with a wink that was like autumn waves, and said, "'Camel', do you like it?" ……”

Zhan Zhizhan exhaled with difficulty, pretended not to understand, and said, "Yes, a beautiful melody." ……”

"This is the song "The Sound of Spring" composed by a foreign band called Bandari, I like it the most, and I often listen to it and sleep! ......" Seeing that Zhan Zhizhan and her had common preferences, Mei Xiaoran was a little excited.

"Medium! If I can't sleep in the future, you can let me listen! ......" Zhan Zhizhan said as he looked at his beloved.

"As long as you like to listen, I'll give you a lifetime! ......" said this, Mei Xiaoran stared at Zhan Zhizhan affectionately, her big black pupils shining with joy.

At this time, no words are better than sounds, and when the two of them looked at each other affectionately, a young man's voice very similar to the voice of the future father-in-law came: "Dad, we are back!" Oops, my uncle is here too! Hello uncle, I haven't seen you in years. How is Auntie? 'Maotou' has grown into a big girl, right? Why didn't you bring them here? ……”

As soon as he heard the voice, Zhan Zhizhan guessed that it must be Mei Xiaoran's brother Mei Xiaohan who came back.

"Haha...... Your uncle has been transferred to the 18th Army as a commander, so come to our house by the way. ......," the future husband added.

"Okay! Uncle has improved again, you are rising so fast! ......," the future eldest brother said with some surprise.

"Huh...... Uncle is old, and he can't compare to you young people. ...... "Qian Zhenglun is still quite modest.

"Where, every progress of our younger generation is inseparable from the education of your older generation. I'll have a few more drinks with you in a while, congratulations to my uncle on his ascension! What about laughter? Didn't she come to our house with her boyfriend? ...... "The future eldest brother seems to have finally remembered his future brother-in-law.

"Brother, this is the 'camel'!" Camel', this is my brother, this is my newlywed sister-in-law. ......" Mei smiled generously and took Zhan Zhizhan's arm, walked out of the bedroom, and came to a pair of young men and women to introduce.

"Hello Chief of Staff May! Hello sister-in-law! ...... "Zhan Zhizhan knew that Mei Xiaoran's brother was a deputy regimental officer, and his rank was much higher than his own, so he gave him a standard military salute.

"Don't be inhibited in your own home. You can just call me Xiaohan, or you can call me big brother, so that I will feel the warmth of family. I don't call you a war officer, but also a 'camel', okay? ......" In the laughter of everyone, Mei Xiaohan returned a military salute and took Zhan Zhizhan's hand affectionately.

Mei Xiaohan took Zhan Zhizhan's hand and sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, telling all the anecdotes about Mei Xiaoran's childhood.

In the small talk, Zhan Zhizhan learned that Mei Xiaohan did not climb up by nepotism alone. He is the first batch of master's students recruited by Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics after the "Ten Years Special Period". "Shenzhou Youth Daily" has a report "Junior High School Students Admitted to Graduate School" once caused a sensation, and the junior high school student mentioned in the article was Mei Xiaohan. Mei Xiaohan had not yet graduated from the master's degree, and was sent to Nanjing Military Command College to study for a doctorate. After chatting, Zhan Zhizhan had a heartfelt respect for this future eldest brother, and was convinced that he would definitely become a pillar of our air force in the future.

After a while, the future mother-in-law in an apron arrived at the dinner table with a few plates of delicate side dishes. Zhan Zhizhan smelled the fragrance of the dishes and couldn't help but move his fingers: "It's so fragrant!" Be sure to try the craftsmanship of the future mother-in-law. ……”

"Home cooked dishes, nothing to entertain. Xiao Zhan, I don't know if you can get used to it. Hehe...... "That's what I said, but Zhan Zhizhan can see that the future old mother-in-law has no modesty at all, and it seems that the future old mother-in-law is quite confident in her cooking skills."

"Xiao Zhan, don't be restrained, sit! Xiaoran, Xiao Zhan is a northerner, and he is not used to drinking the 'rice wine' in the south. You go to the kitchen and go to the wine cabinet to get Daddy's 'Moutai'. ......" the future father-in-law pulled Qian Zhenglun to sit at the dining table and shouted loudly.

It is said to be a light meal, but it is also full of tables, most of which are Huaiyang dishes. Huaiyang cuisine, along with Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine, is known as China's "four major cuisines". Huaiyang cuisine, which began in the Spring and Autumn Period, flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is known as "the first best taste in the southeast and the most beautiful in the world". There are many dishes that Zhan Zhizhan has never seen, let alone eaten.

The two waiters had already filled the bull's-eyed goblet with the aroma of "Moutai". Zhan Zhizhan saw that it was "Moutai", it was just a matter of what, Harazi was about to come out, after all, he hadn't drunk such a good wine for more than two months.

"I said Lao Mei, what's wrong with you? Xiao Zhan's injuries are not completely healed, how can you make him drink? Also drink the high degree of 'Moutai'. ...... "Unexpectedly, the future mother-in-law began to feel sorry for her uncle."

Zhan Zhizhan looked at the future father-in-law who was a little embarrassed, and said to the future mother-in-law honestly: "Report to Auntie, my physical fitness is good, and I am not in the way." It's rare that Uncle Mei is happy today, and Brother Xiaohan and I accompany his old man and uncle to drink less. ……”

"Lao Shui, Xiao Zhan said it's okay, you can let it go! Haha...... "The future old man smiled so much that his eyes became a slit." Under the persuasion of everyone, the future mother-in-law had to shake her head and sit down.

Three glasses of "Moutai" were eaten, and the wine table was pushed and changed, and the atmosphere began to be lively. In the future, the old mother-in-law vigorously gave Zhan Zhizhan vegetables and introduced: "Xiao Zhan, this is 'stewed crab roe lion head'!" …… This is 'Liangxi Crispy Eel'! …… It's 'Crystal Meat'! …… This is the 'Three Sets of Ducks'! …… This is 'Hirahashi Tofu'! …… Try it, this is the 'Yangtze River saury', it's rare! What is the difference with your northern 'Dalian saury'? ……”

"Yangtze River saury" is also known as "long-jawed fish", "swordfish", "hairy fish", similar to a knife, and pufferfish, anchovy is called one of China's "Yangtze River three fresh", it is indeed a rare delicacy.

Mei Xiaoran's family drank a little strangely. is that the future father-in-law's alcohol consumption is very good, Mei Xiaoran inherited her father's genes of drinking, and she drank with the heroic spirit of Shandong Danizi. But the future mother-in-law didn't drink a drop of wine, and only drank "Jianlibao". The future eldest brother, the amount of alcohol seems to have inherited his mother's genes, and he only drank half a cup of "Moutai" in a wine glass with a big bull's eye, and his face was red as if he could drip blood. Mei Xiaoran's sister-in-law claimed that she wouldn't drink, but just accompanied Mei Xiaoran's mother to drink "Jianlibao". Qian Zhenglun belongs to the kind of person whose face becomes whiter the more he drinks, and he is still silent when he eats half a catty of "Moutai".

Some people say that if you want to get the old man and the old mother-in-law in Nanjing, you must "know how to whistle and drink". The so-called "whistle" is to be able to speak, to have a sweet mouth, to talk a lot, often buy some small gifts, will definitely be able to coax the Nanjing mother-in-law to smile so that the wrinkles on her face are gone. As for "drinking", it must be used to deal with the old man. As long as the wine is in place, drink the old man down, everything is easy to say.

At the beginning, Zhan Zhizhan was very reserved. After three glasses of wine, he was rolling his eyes, thinking about how to enliven the atmosphere, but he didn't expect the future old mother-in-law to say with a smile: "Xiao Zhan, I heard that your elders are also old revolutionaries?" ……”

Zhan Zhizhan sat down and said, "Report to Auntie, my grandfather did not participate in the Long March, but he was a revolutionary martyr, and his name is on the monument." My grandfather was the personal guard of the martyrs Qi Li, secretary of the Jiaodong Special Committee in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, commander of the Third Army of Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Salvation and head of the Military and Political Committee. After Secretary Qi Li came to work in Shandong, the Jiaodong Special Committee specially mobilized my grandfather, who had just participated in the revolutionary work, to protect the safety of Secretary Qi Li in order to strengthen the security work. ……”

The future husband put down his glass and said, "Oh? …… In which battle was the old man killed? ……”

Zhan Zhizhan didn't dare to smile, and said seriously: "My grandfather died in the 'Thunder Temple Battle' in the southeast of Muping County, Shandong Province on February 13, 1938. ……”

Zhan Zhizhan's "Moutai" did not drink less, and he fell asleep after returning to the ward. He was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon of the next day, and the "grassland lone wolf" had already booked a train ticket for the three of them to return to Nanning in the afternoon. Zhan Zhizhan secretly pondered that he would sleep a little longer while he was drinking. However, Zhan Zhizhan was not born to be lazy, so he opened his eyes in a daze and looked at his watch, it was not yet six o'clock.

Zhan Zhizhan rolled over and fell asleep again. This return to sleep was really sweet, Zhan Zhizhan just opened his eyes in a daze, and before he finished a "yawn", he suddenly saw a person lying on the side of the bed looking at him. Zhan Zhizhan was startled, and looked at it intently, it turned out to be Mei Xiaoran. Zhan Zhizhan suddenly lost his temper and said, "Obediently long dong, fried green onions in lard!" Meizi, what do you want to scare me to death? Scaring people is not so scared! In case I am so frightened that my mouth is crooked and my eyes are slanted, and you eat on the kang, what can you do? Why did you come in before? I thought you drank so much wine yesterday that you wouldn't be here until noon. ……”

Mei Xiaoran smiled, put her round chin against the back of her hand, looked at Zhan Zhizhan stupidly, and said softly: "That little wine is nothing to me, aren't people thinking about you!" I didn't want to scare you, I just watched you sleep. ……”

"Is the war staff there? ......" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which frightened Mei Xiaoran, who was talking to Zhan Zhi Zhan Qingqing, and me to jump up in fright. I don't know what she was afraid of, so I went headlong into the bathroom.

"Please come in! ......" Zhan Zhizhan said as calmly as he could.

At the opening of the door, Xiao Wang, the nurse in charge of Zhan Zhizhan's ward, led two middle-aged men in.

"War staff officer, this is Director Hao of our hospital's security department. ......" Xiao Wang introduced a man in military uniform.

"Hello Director Hao! ......" Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome, I came to see you when you were unconscious. Ha ha...... Come, let me introduce to you, this is Minister Liu of the Enemy Engineering Department of the Military Region. ......," Director Hao said affectionately after returning the salute, taking Zhan Zhizhan's hand affectionately.

"Hello Minister Liu! ......" Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly saluted Minister Liu again, but muttered in his heart: "The enemy engineering department of the military region? Obediently boom, fried green onions in lard! The night owl enters the house and has nothing to do, what is the matter with finding Lao Tzu? ……”

"Xiao Zhan, you're welcome! I'm Liu Lanfeng, and I'm here to deliver the telegram. This is the telegram of the stationmaster Jiang of the Nanning workstation of the headquarters. ......" Liu Lanfeng let go of Zhan Zhizhan's hand, took out the telegram from his coat pocket and handed it to him.
