Chapter 351 The grandest farewell, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not
The promotion ceremony is over and all the leaders who came to preside over the ceremony leave.
Not only did the entire battalion of soldiers not disband, but they gathered even closer than before.
But the gathering location was moved from the vehicle and artillery field to the battalion headquarters.
That guy, the atmosphere in the camp is getting lively.
Even Li Wujie, who had gone to the car to learn how to drive, asked for leave and ran back. He held a wine jar and sat in the back of the vehicle in advance to see off the battalion commander.
Clerk Deng Jiawei held another wine jar, and the two sat side by side in the back row.
Among the soldiers from the camp who were watching the excitement nearby, some who were relatively wealthy ran to the Second Battalion Soldier Service Center on the spot, bought two loads of milk and stuffed it in the car.
Some people also carried mineral water to put in the car.
But more people looked at it with smiles. It is rare to encounter such a rare good thing in the unit, who can take care of other work.
The fact that the battalion commander is going to my father-in-law's house has long been spread, and everyone knows that he will go after the ceremony.
Anyway, for many soldiers, the concept of not being surprised if they treat others is deeply ingrained, and there are quite a few people who stuff things into their cars.
When Chen Jun changed into casual clothes and came out of the building with a small backpack on his back, he saw a dense crowd gathering in the camp headquarters compound. He was also a little bit dumbfounded.
“What are you doing?”
“I don’t drive. If you want to go to Kyoto, just take a plane directly from Pengcheng.”
Unfortunately, Chen Jun's opinion is no longer important at this time.
Others have made arrangements clearly.
Instructor He Yingtao, this guy is stroking his round belly while assigning tasks to others.
"Whoever is driving the first car? Remember to check the driving license, driving license, soldier ID card and the dispatch order open in the brigade. Don't be stopped by the picket on the way."
"Forget it, I don't trust you, I'll drive it."
"Hey, hey, that old Li, who let you sit in the driver's seat? What kind of class are you taking my place, you idiot."
He Yingtao didn't care about his status as an instructor, he was laughing and joking. Compete with the cadres in the camp for the opportunity to drive.
Liang Kexiang on the side walked over directly, raised his hand to hook Chen Jun's shoulder, and said seriously: "Old Chen, remember what I said."
"You have to choose a good time to go to my father-in-law's house. If you leave too late today, don't go to the house first after arriving in Kyoto. Find a place to stay overnight."
"Just try to arrive at his house around 11 o'clock tomorrow. It’s not advisable to go too early for this kind of thing. If you go early, you will be embarrassed. If you go late, the etiquette is not in place. It’s just right at 11 o’clock.”
"Fart, what you said is wrong."
Listening to Lao Liang's nonsense, Ma Hongjie, the deputy battalion commander next to him, couldn't listen.
He pulled Liang Kexiang aside, patted his chest and said, "Old Chen, listen to me, it's better to go in the afternoon."
"I've been here, we have experience. . ”
“You don’t even need to eat when you go in the afternoon. You will sit for a while and then leave. It’s not suitable for us to stay for a long time when we come here. Just meet up. ”
"You are right to listen to me."
Chen Jun listened to the completely different words of these two guys, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
On the other side, Li Haiyao, who had also changed into casual clothes from the dormitory building, was also shocked by the scene in front of her.
Especially when she heard that a group of cadres in the camp treated her family like a scourge and kept giving Chen Jun advice, she was a little startled.
The soldiers nearby were cheering to give way. Some shouted "sister-in-law" and some shouted "the bride is here".
Anyway, no matter what he shouted, the purpose was to remind the people stuck nearby to make way quickly and let Li Haiyao come over.
She rarely communicates with the soldiers in the camp, and most people in the camp only know that the person the battalion commander works with is a very beautiful captain.
This suddenly attracted so much attention.
Li Haiyao also seemed a little embarrassed. Holding her small satchel, she walked through the booing crowd and ran to Chen Jun.
“Let’s go.”
Chen Jun asked with a gentle smile on his face.
“Well, okay.”
Li Haiyao responded in a low voice.
She was really not used to being watched by people like this. It was actually good that there were so many people. Mainly because some veterans were worried about the world being in chaos, so they whistled and shouted "Here comes the bride".
Although I know these people are well-intentioned and are just there to tease,
But this kind of title is still too straightforward for Li Haiyao.
Chen Jun also saw that Li Haiyao was a little embarrassed. He immediately clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, okay, don't block the road, let's set off."
With that said, Chen Jun Looking at the five or six vehicles that had started in the yard of the battalion headquarters.
This guy, when he went to Kyoto, these cadres were more proactive than he was.
Chen Jun strode to the side of the vehicle and looked at the driver's seat of the first car. He Yingtao had already adjusted his sitting position. Also sitting in the back row were clerk Deng Jiawei and orderly Li Wujie, each holding a wine bottle. altar.
Find a good position early and for the right reasons.
Chen Jun looked at the two in the back row and ignored them. He directly grabbed Lao He in the driver's seat and pulled him out.
"Don't cause trouble, stay safe in the camp, and just have them two take me to the airport."
Chen Jun raised his finger and pointed at the two people sitting in the back row, and then Arranging the clerk to drive, he took the wine jar and sat in the back seat, with Li Haiyao sitting next to him.
"Okay, okay, let's all disperse."
"The cars behind are not allowed to follow."
"Let's go!!"
There are too many people gathered at the battalion headquarters. Even if Chen Jun is the battalion commander, he cannot It is said that it is mandatory not to watch the fun.
We had to set off as soon as possible.
Instructor He Yingtao was dragged off, and he yelled at the butt of the car with some reluctance: "Old Chen, no matter what the outcome is this time, please give the camp a call in advance."
No one in the car responded, the other soldiers were watching with smiles.
Watching the vehicle go further and further away, deputy battalion commander Ma Hongjie took out a firecracker from somewhere.
He hurriedly put it on the ground and lit it. The crackling sound sounded, as if to encourage Chen Jun for his trip.
Watch the vehicles go further and further away.
He Yingtao stood on the spot, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Old Chen really faced the difficulties when he went to Kyoto this time. I hope he can handle it."
"Anyway, the speed of progress is much faster than when I married my wife."
"I usually don't say anything, but suddenly I have to meet the girl's parents."
Listening to Lao He's emotion, Ma Hongjie next to him took off his hat and smoothed his short hair, then put on his military cap again and said in a leisurely tone: "It is a difficulty, but it is also an opportunity."
"I can definitely carry it. Old Chen is not bad. Comrade Li is beautiful and has a good personality. He is a good match for Old Chen."
After the two expressed their opinions, they turned around in a tacit understanding and started Disperse the gathered warriors.
The battalion commander went to attend to his own personal matters.
The work in that camp cannot stop. The promotion has just ended, and it is time for a big fight.
You must not relax.
Chen Jun bought a ticket for one o'clock in the afternoon, so he was not in a hurry on the way to the airport.
The vehicle drove smoothly on the road. The clerk Deng Jiawei drove very cautiously, for fear that the car body would shake and the wine jar would be shaken open.
Simply not in a hurry, Chen Jun sat in the back seat, silently planning the trip.
Counselor Liang taught him to go there in the morning.
This method is not very reliable. The air tickets are all at one o'clock in the afternoon. Pengcheng is not far from Kyoto and can be reached by plane in a little more than two hours.
It seems not in line with etiquette if you have to wait until tomorrow to come to Kyoto.
Deputy Battalion Commander Ma said that method was even more unreasonable. I went there in the afternoon and didn’t eat. Is that possible?
Chen Jun turned his head and glanced at Li Haiyao. She was probably tensing up because she was going home, and she was holding her bag with her little hands.
Noticing Chen Jun's eyes looking at her, Li Haiyao turned her head and blinked.
“Are you nervous?”
After Chen Jun asked, he thought about it seriously and suggested: “How about I call your home first.” “Tell me in advance to go back. "
"I already called yesterday and told my brother to go back today."
Li Haiyao held the small bag with her fingers and looked at Chen Jun with bright eyes under her curved eyebrows.
“My brother also said that he would arrange a car to pick us up.”
“Ah, that’s it, that’s good, that’s good.”
Chen Jun smiled sarcastically In response, he really didn't know that Li Haiyao had informed his family.
What's more unclear is that the first person he will probably see today is his future uncle.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that among the people in Li Haiyao's family, it is his uncle who is the easiest to deal with, right?
The other person is only about thirty years old at most, so if you don’t face him, you feel like you are stealing someone else’s cabbage.
He didn't ask if he was his biological brother. Anyway, he was just thinking about his uncle.
Chen Jun was going crazy with all kinds of thoughts in his mind along the way.
The orderly next to him was holding a wine jar, sitting there and not daring to move at all. The passenger seat was filled with boxes of gifts.
These were stuffed in because Chen Jun didn't intend to bring them.
The orderly soldiers did not dare to move, and Chen Jun himself was even more confused.
When the vehicle is driving smoothly.
He has been trying hard to search for scenes in his mind of old veterans bragging about themselves and going to their father-in-law's house.
But looking back over it, most of them were those guys bragging that they could outdrink my father-in-law, and then they would drink him down when they got back.
This doesn’t seem to suit me.
In his previous life, he was a bachelor and had almost never talked about the type of girlfriend. This suddenly progressed to the point of visiting the woman's house.
Experiences that were useful in the past were all put aside this time.
There is no useful solution.
Li Haiyao also noticed that Chen Jun's sitting posture was a bit straight, and guessed that it was due to being too nervous.
She moved her position slightly, getting closer to Chen Jun, trying to relieve his nervousness in this way.
After all, there were two people in the car, and Li Haiyao was embarrassed to say some things.
The people setting off here are uneasy, not knowing what will happen today.
On the other side, they were also prepared early.
In a quiet compound in the Kyoto garrison.
The overall greening environment in the courtyard is very good. Even if it is winter, the courtyard is full of greenery, and greenery can be seen everywhere.
Dense sycamore trees cover half of the yard. In a place like Kyoto where land is at a premium, being able to live here seems to cleanse the soul and make people feel extremely comfortable and peaceful.
From time to time, soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding guns can be seen patrolling on the road.
At the innermost side of the compound, there is a three-story white building. The house seems to be quite old.
The walls are a little mottled, but you can tell that the owner of the house is very diligent. There are small vegetable plots and fenced flower beds around the building.
It is a quiet and pleasant place without losing the atmosphere of life.
What a pity.
The tranquility was quickly broken.
Outside the compound, a jeep military vehicle rumbled in and parked in the open space next to the building.
A lieutenant colonel, about thirty years old, got out of the cab and closed the door with a clang.
The lieutenant colonel strode towards the small building, humming a ditty in his mouth. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
This was good enough to reach the door of the room. When he opened the door curtain and walked into the house, he saw the old man sitting on the sofa in the main room.
The humming sound stopped suddenly.
The lieutenant colonel shouted awkwardly: "Grandpa."
The old man sitting on the sofa looks to be about sixty years old. Although he looks a bit old, his head of white hair is full of majesty.
Wearing an ordinary winter coat, it has no embellishment, but it gives people a domineering look.
He is Li Haiyao's grandfather Li Zhenhua, the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Army Headquarters.
And the lieutenant colonel who came back humming a ditty was the person Li Haiyao called yesterday.
My name is Li Haifeng, the second son of Uncle Li Haiyao’s family.
The old man has four sons in total and no daughters. Li Haiyao is the youngest daughter of the fourth family and the most precious granddaughter of their Li family.
There is no way.
The old man has a good family tradition, and the boys among the younger generations have been strict with military style since they were young. No frivolous behavior is allowed at home or outside.
Just now Li Haifeng went home humming a ditty. This kind of behavior would have been scolded normally. The main reason was that he didn't expect that the old man would be at home today.
That’s why I was shocked just now.
If he had known about it in advance, he really wouldn't have had the guts to act like this.
Let's talk about being strict with boys, but this old man is very doting on the girls of the younger generation. They are two completely different education methods.
Especially the little granddaughter Li Haiyao, it would be an understatement to say that she is pampered.
This also leads to the fact that Li Haiyao is 27 years old this year and will be 28 years old later this year. She is still a bit naive outside.
Li Zhenhua knew his granddaughter’s temperament, and he never forced her. The reason was just one sentence.
No matter what happens in the future, our Li family will be able to take care of the children of the Li family.
Hearing Li Haifeng calling him, the old man sat on the sofa with the newspaper in his hand and just said "hmm".
Not even raising his head.
Feeling that the old man didn't want to talk to him, Li Haifeng took a breath and slipped out of the back door as quietly as possible.
Grandpa can’t afford to offend him.
To be precise, when the whole family comes back except for my sister, the old man will be smiling and approachable. Even if a few uncles come back, they will sit or stand honestly.
No one dared to say anything.
But the old man can’t afford to offend him, but grandma Li Haifeng is not afraid.
He quietly sneaked to the back door, and as soon as he came out, he saw an old lady in her sixties with gray hair using a showerhead to water the plants in the flower bed.
“Grandma!!”
The sudden sound caused Wang Lanfang, who was watering the water, to freeze his hands. He raised his head and saw the person coming.
Wang Lanfang had a kind smile on his face: "Xiao Feng is back, your grandpa is in the front hall."
"Wait a minute, I will finish pouring this water."< br>
"Let me help you." Li Haifeng ran over with a smile and took the shower from grandma.
"Grandma, you know, Yaoyao is bringing her boyfriend back today."
"I know, why wouldn't your grandpa go out today?"
Although Wang Lanfang already knew that her granddaughter was coming back, she still smiled happily after hearing it again.
"Your grandpa has arranged for someone to be picked up at the airport."
"Counting the time, it will be here soon."
Has the old man also arranged for someone to be picked up?
When Li Haifeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Before he came back, he thought he was the only one who knew about it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone home humming a little tune. After working on it for a long time, his information was not the most sensitive.
He also arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport. He originally thought that he would go home first and report the news.
It seems now.
Whether he comes or not seems to have little meaning.
