"Let's go, I'll accompany you."

"However, before toasting, we have to eat something to fill our stomachs, otherwise you may not be able to survive the toast."

The wedding ceremony is over.

With a bright and happy smile on his face, Chai Shuyao reached out to hold Chen Ming's arm and whispered

After all the guests are seated, a couple of newcomers come to toast, and grandpa just now specially explained that he wanted to introduce his old comrades-in-arms to Chen Ming.

This is a rare honor, usually the old man is very serious to the juniors at home, not to mention the introduction, there is not much time to have a good face.

This attitude towards his grandson-in-law is really unprecedented.

Chen Ming also knows what's going on, the old man loves the house and Wu, takes care of him, and hopes that he can treat his granddaughter better.

Maybe this is a common problem of the elderly.

"I really want to eat, let's go, I've arranged all of this."

Chen Ming smiled and pulled Chai Shuyao, and the two strode towards the back door on the other side of the restaurant, where there was a simple meal prepared in advance.

On the day of the wedding, the groom and the bride basically had no chance to eat, which was specially arranged by Chen Ming last night, and he didn't think about himself at the time, but just let Chai Shuyao eat some, and now it just comes in handy.

In order not to make the guests in the front hall wait for a long time, the two quickly dealt with each other and ate some, then hurriedly put down their chopsticks and came to the outside of the hall.

At this time, Wang Shuaibing and Wei Chongchong, the two best men, had been standing at the door for a long time with a white wine bottle and a goblet.

I saw two people coming.

Wang Shuaibing laughed and said: "Brother Chen, sister-in-law Chen, the banquet has been announced, and it will be served soon, so let's go over and salute it before it starts."

"Hello." Chai Shuyao responded with a smile, not caring about these titles.

"Well, it must be the point, has the wine changed?" Chen Ming picked up the wine in the tray and shook it, staring at it for a while.

"It's changed, the bottle my sister-in-law drank is cold and white, and the bottle is clean and refilled, and the bottle that Brother Chen drank has not been changed, it is still the original wine."

"Okay, that's okay, let's go in one table at a time." While Chen Ming nodded, he sighed in his heart, with his little amount of wine, I'm afraid it will be a difficult time to wait.

I just hope that on this occasion today, I hope that there will be no embarrassment, there is nothing to drink and lie down, and it will be done without playing drunk.

"Why do you want to change the wine? Am I this cool white open? Chai Shuyao was confused when he heard this, and shook the wine bottle curiously.

The beautiful eyes stared at it for a long time, and she didn't see any difference between the two bottles of wine.

"Yes, the deputy said that there are too many guests here today, more than 100 tables, one table at a time, I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable drinking, so I will change it to cool and boil, if the water is too hot, there will be fog when poured out, and it is easy to be seen."

Wei Chongchong explained in detail, and deliberately proposed that this was Chen Ming's idea.

"Huh? Yes, more than a hundred tables. Chai Shuyao pointed to Chen Ming's wine bottle as if he suddenly remembered: "Then yours has also been changed, this is respectful from beginning to end, even if you drink a sip at a table, you will have to have a bottle."

"It's all changed to cool and white, how good."

"It's okay, mine can't be changed, the tables where my grandfather and my father are sitting are all veterans of the battlefield, and the drinking is probably the same, and you can tell at a glance whether it is water or wine."

"It doesn't matter if you drink water, no one will say anything, if I drink water, the old man will inevitably look bad on his face, after all, this kind of thing can't be faked, the old man's friends are all elders, and I drink water when my parents drink alcohol, no matter how big the reason is, I can't say it."

"Yes, well, then let's hurry up when we toast, and we'll leave the table and rest first after you feel uncomfortable." Chai Shuyao said worriedly.

"It's not so serious sister-in-law, the toast is usually toasted to the elders, and we don't use it later, we all know what's going on, and if we don't arrive, we will run away, and we won't drink too much."

"Whew." Chen Ming took a deep breath and secretly cheered himself up, no matter how much he said now, it was useless.

Wait for the hard to go up, on the day of the wedding, people will come to cheer, then you can't be cowardly, you must stand up.

"Let's go, toast."

Chen Ming pulled Chai Shuyao, took the two best men, and the four of them walked straight into the first box, the first table had nothing to say, it had to be the old man Chai's side.

The two pushed the door in, and the hearty conversation and laughter just now came to an abrupt end, and the eight old man's comrades-in-arms looked at the door together.

Maybe it's because these people usually develop majesty in high positions, or maybe it's the sense of oppression that Rong Ma has had all his life, in short, so many people look at it together.

Chen Ming was prepared, but he couldn't help but grin at the corners of his mouth, and subconsciously stood up and saluted.

"Hello Chief!!"

Chai Shuyao should have been in constant contact, and he was not affected by anything, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shen is good, Grandpa Jiang is good, Grandpa Nie is good, Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Feng haven't seen you for a long time."

"Haha, good, good." Chai Yansong's old partner Shen Hongwei and Feng Hongyi, whom Chen Ming saw after the review meeting of the military region, spoke one after another.

Chai Yansong said that he introduced it to Chen Ming, but how could he really open his mouth on this kind of thing and on this occasion.

As long as people sit here, Chai Shuyao introduced, it is enough.

"Chen Ming, come here, this is Grandpa Shen, and Grandpa are old comrades-in-arms for life, and this is Grandpa Feng"

"Today I got married, thank you grandpa for coming to cheer, I have a cup with Chen Mingjing grandpa."

Speaking of toasting, the two best men at the door endured their surprise and walked over cautiously.

Chai Shuyao deliberately took a half step back and let Chen Ming stand in front, how could this small action be hidden from a few people at the scene.

Feng Hongyi raised his wine glass and gestured slightly, and said with a smile: "Chen Ming, let's meet again, haha, I heard Chai Lao say that you have your own unique views on the strategic assault division, and I won't talk about work on this occasion today."

"However, if you have time, you can write down your opinions in full and submit them to the war zone, and I will be here for a while now."

"Yes, Grandpa Shoufeng." Chen Ming was slightly stunned, and hurriedly changed his words, he is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, but it is obvious that this table has a good relationship with the old man, if he doesn't understand the intention, it will be too contrived.

Submitting his ideas to the war zone, Chen Ming understood that this was a rare opportunity to perform.

If he had put it on hold, he would have had an idea, and he wouldn't have thought about submitting it to the war zone, and if he set up a strategic assault division, who would have no idea?

"Hehe, Chen Ming, I've heard your name for a long time, and I just saw you today, yes, come on, old man Chai hasn't praised anyone for more than ten years, and I'm about to praise you as a flower."

Shen Hongwei said with a smile, completely lacking the domineering and unquestionable spirit when he said in the conference room during the Spring Festival: "The future of the dragon's tooth should not be carried by a private".

"That's grandpa's praise, and I'm just doing my job." Chen Ming responded without humility or arrogance after relieving himself.

"Well, I just like your sentence to do your job well, Chen Ming."

"Here."

Another Grandpa Nie at the dining table spoke: "I don't know if Old Man Chai praises it falsely or not, but I have heard of your deeds more than once."

"It's easy to do your job well, but it's hard to do, don't worry about moving forward boldly, one step at a time, you will go further, I Nie Hongen haven't missed anyone."

"Yes, Grandpa Nie."

Chen Ming responded loudly, but he secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, Nie Hongen is a good guy, this person's origin is straight to the Kyoto Military Department.

It's much more terrifying than Feng Hongyi.

It should be the person who was alarmed by the establishment of the Strategic Assault Division, otherwise Chen Ming would not think that he would be able to invite this kind of person if he got married.

After all, among the five major theaters, the Eastern Theater ranks first in terms of combat effectiveness and heavy weapons, and it is normal for such a big event as the establishment of a Blue Army Division to alarm many people.

But such a character came to attend the wedding, no matter in the face of the old man, or whatever, these made Chen Ming a little flattered.

However, it doesn't matter, he firmly believes that sooner or later, he can also reach that height.

Nie Hongen looked at the two newcomers with a smile, nodded and invited: "Come on, come on, don't delay the toast of the newcomers, what are we old men doing with a pair of newcomers?"

"Come, toast together, I wish you two a hundred years of good together, forever."

"Thank you, Grandpa Nie."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao also raised their glasses together and drank them all.

After saying a good meal and drink according to the rules, he quietly withdrew from the private room.

As soon as he got out of the private room, Chen Ming's face turned red as soon as he "soared", and a cup almost made him dazed.

Good guy, goblet, a full cup is at least three taels, and I haven't even drunk several sips.

Chen Ming took a look at the cup and glanced at Wang Shuaibing: "Look at it, how can you pour wine like this?"

"According to your method, I can graduate directly when I come out of the next room, lie down and go to rest."

"Hehe, Brother Chen, I don't look like people from my grandfather's generation, you have to drink realistically, you must be full of wine in our place."

"Pay attention next time, haha."

Wei Chongchong couldn't help but kick him, "What the hell are you paying attention to, who are you?" If you can't tell the situation, follow me. ”

The two chattered crookedly all the way, and Chen Ming and Chai Shuyao insisted on respecting all the way.

But there are too many guests today, even if you finish saluting your grandfathers and uncles, you don't have to respect him later, as long as you pull him to eat and chat in the past, you can't bear it.

After a circle, Chen Ming only felt that his face was already full of heat, and he was a little floating when he walked.

Chai Shuyao helped Chen Ming to run to the guest room to rest, and Wang Shuaibing and Wei Chongchong, the two brothers, had already run to the dining table and stepped on the box, charging into battle.

"I'll let the kitchen cook some honey vinegar water, hangover, you wait." Chai Shu took a warm towel to help Chen Ming wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The hot weather, coupled with the fact that he drank so much liquor, really made him a little unbearable for this small amount of wine.

But it can't be admitted.

Chen Ming stretched out his hand to take the towel and said with a smile: "I'm fine, the wedding banquet is only over for one round, you go and talk to your friends."

"Everyone has traveled a long way to attend the wedding banquet, and they can't be left out in the cold, and it is not in line with the etiquette."

"By the way, go get something to eat."

"I'm fine, I won't go if you feel uncomfortable, I can let them stay here tonight, I can come over tomorrow to chat with them, you are like this, I can't leave."

Chai Shuyao shook his head slightly, and before he could continue, Chen Ming sat up with a smile and tried to stabilize his body.

"Let's go, friends finally get together once, I don't know when it will be next time, I'll go to the table to take a look after a while."

"When the banquet is over, I have to send it away, and the number of gifts must be missing."

"Are you alright?" Chai Shuyao looked at Chen Ming worriedly.

"It's fine."

"Okay." Chai Shuyao nodded, and said uncomfortably that he would come back later.

Wait for her to leave.

Chen Ming lay on the sofa and rested for a while, the potion that he hadn't used for a long time had almost no effect on him now, but it was tried and tested to restore his body to its best condition.

After swallowing a bottle of potion at random, he put a confident smile on his face and walked back to the guest room.

This is a carnival that belongs to comrades-in-arms, friends.

No matter how good the relationship is, it needs to be maintained, people come to the wedding, that is to appreciate the light, and everyone's emotions must be taken care of, if you neglect anyone, it is not good.

Really.

When Wang Shuaibing, Qin Dong, and the broiler saw Chen Ming returning, they loudly beckoned him over.

After making sure that he really hadn't drunk too much just now, a group of people were relieved and ran over to toast in turn, and halfway Chai Shuyao also ran over to check when he heard the movement.

But at this time, Chen Ming had already gone crazy in the wine field, she was a girl, and the guests would be merciful, so as not to run up to toast.

Chen Ming is different, there is a circle of people around him, drinking and coming in waves, fortunately, everyone is a soldier, knows the depth, and the drinking is just slightly drunk, relying on the advantage of a large number of people, the groom is the groom and the official in partnership.

Chen Ming did not refuse to come, and accompanied his former comrades-in-arms to drink in laughter, and saw that Chai Shuyao had been following behind worriedly, so he told her that he was drinking cold and white this time.

There were too many people, and Chai Shuyao was not easy to check, but seeing that Chen Ming's face was not red after drinking so much, and he was not drunk, he believed it and went to chat with the little sister again.

Push the cup and change the lamp, chatting until about four o'clock in the afternoon, the drinking has long been over, and the decanting tea, dishes, and soups arranged by the Dongjiao Hotel have been served round after round.

It is sweet and delicious, and the wine of the banquet belongs to the internal supply, so it is almost the same if you don't go up, and you will rest for a while.

At this time, it was almost the end of the banquet.

Old man Chai Yansong and his comrades-in-arms only stayed here for less than an hour before leaving by car, they just had a good time and drank a few glasses of wine.

The guests who are still here also get up one after another, and those who are far away from home can continue to stay, and those who are close can also choose to take the car back.

Chen Ming took his parents, and Chai Shuyao also took his parents to start sending off guests, and the lively manor soon returned to calm again.

Only the few people who have the most iron relationship with Chen Ming are seeing off guests at the door together, they can't drink enough wine, they can't finish chatting, it's time to leave or to go.

"Chen Ming." Ma Dazhu walked over and hugged him tightly.

This is the first class of the recruit company that year, the two with the best physical fitness, one is Chen Ming, and the other is him.

He once entered the top 40 in the recruit competition, which is quite good, but now, he will be discharged from the army in more than two months, and he is reluctant to take off this military uniform.

"Let's stay one more night, it's a place to stay until the day after tomorrow before it resumes normal business."

"You should all be on leave today, right?"

"Tomorrow I will arrange a car to take you back to the military region, and we will drink again tonight."

Chen Ming warmly invited, but several people shook their heads, and even Wang Shuaibing, who liked to be lively the most, shook his head like a rattle.

"Brother Chen, on your wedding night today, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, don't run around, let's go back."

"Yes, deputy class, I won't stay, and when I get married, I'll notify everyone, and our brothers will get together again."

Dong Ke laughed and eased the atmosphere of parting, he was sure that he could be promoted to the second phase, but when the second phase ended, the third phase would be impossible.

The army is becoming more and more information-oriented, and high-tech personnel are required.

"Okay, then make an appointment to meet him again one day."

Chen Ming sent off his comrades-in-arms during the recruit period, and looked at several people from the seventh group of the National Defense Science and Technology University, who were also night tickets and needed to go in advance.

Then, the people of the dragon's tooth and the people of the three battalions left one after another.

Chen Ming stood at the gate of the Dongjiao Hotel, watching everyone leave in a daze, and did not move for a long time.

The parents also went to the second courtyard of the Chai family as guests, and only Chai Shuyao and the two of them were left in the Nuoda manor.

"What's wrong? Don't be sad, good friends still have time to reunite. ”

"Do you want to go back to the army too?"

Chai Shuyao walked over and held Chen Ming's hand tightly, comforting him softly.

Chen Ming shook his head slightly, it was true that he wanted to return to the army, but after this time, many comrades-in-arms may never see each other again, and it is estimated that it is also true.

His position will get higher and higher, and some of his former brothers will contact him once they are discharged from the army.

Will I be too busy at work, and when I suddenly look back one day, I realize that time has slipped away quietly.

"I'm fine, let's go, let's go back too."

"Okay."

The wedding banquet ended, and on the night of the wedding, there was no difference between the young couple and other newlyweds, and Chai Shuyao happily hugged one oversized box after another.

It is all the gift money received for this wedding banquet, as well as the corresponding roster.

Chen Ming's demand for money is not high, and when he returns to his youth, he focuses more on his career in this life, and Chai Shuyao's demand for money is even lower, but this is different, it is the gift money for their marriage.

The two of them lay on the bed, counting little by little, the total amount was not high, and no one dared to make too much of it when the old man spoke, adding up to more than 300,000.

Barely enough to cover the cost of a hotel and a wedding reception.

However, this is a small treasury that belongs to the two of them, and they can use it freely without handing it over.

After staying in the No. 2 courtyard of Huaiyin Road for two or three days, Chen Qianghe proposed to go back, not because he couldn't stay.

It's that the second wedding is coming.

During this time, their family stayed here with the old man's family for a few days, and Chen Ming's third uncle Chen Qiangshui has been at home to marry his nephew and child.

It's ready now.

If you want to say that most of the guests who come to the wedding in Jinling are high-ranking positions, the wedding in the camp can be said to be extremely lively.

The staff of the city management department and the staff of the county management department have all been mobilized, and the granddaughter of the old man Chai has married, how can the movement be small.

Neighbors in the village, relatives from the hometown all came to attend, the wedding scene was even larger, due to the number of people, the hotel could not be packaged, simply from the entrance of the village of Yanziying, every other section of the road to put the car, from the roof of the car to put things, across a length of one kilometer of sunscreen net.

Even invited a few teams to do a wedding banquet, the scene was lively, and many of Chen Ming's former classmates came over.

It's just that most people stop for a moment and leave after watching the wedding scene, the gap is too big, and there is no need to recognize and talk to each other in the past.

No matter how it was in the past and how it was discussed, now they have to admit that Chen Ming is no longer a person of the same world as them.

The nonsense gossip in the village has also disappeared because of the big wedding here.

After the second wedding banquet, Chen Ming and his little couple stayed at home for two days, and the original annual leave also ended.

It's time to go back.
