...The pure man, Captain Kong Da, was standing obediently in the courtyard of the detachment headquarters, listening to the crackling sounds coming from the room.
After Kong Jie was identified, the wedding date issued by the headquarters regarding Kong Jie and Shen Wenyue was also set. Shen Wenyue naturally took on the identity of the hostess and came to help Kong Jie clean up the housework.
Dispose of what needs to be dealt with, throw away what needs to be thrown away, put some maps and potted plants in the room, and the entire command room will immediately take on a new look.
The relationship between the two also developed rapidly with Kong Jie's intentional promotion.
"Old Kong, this house of yours is really a mess. No, I have to come over every once in a while to clean it up for you. What would it look like if you didn't sneak into this house when the comrades come over for a meeting!"
Shen Wenyue, who was standing in the house helping Kong Jie clean up the house, said to the outside of the yard.
"Yes, yes! Madam said yes!" Kong Jie responded quickly.
"The other bed belongs to the monk, right? So do you, monk. You are less than 20 years old and a young man. How can you keep the house so sloppy?
In a situation like yours, I just want to introduce you to a good girl from now on, just because I’m afraid that others will look down on you.
Please put the house in order later. I will come to check on you in a few days! "
The voices in the room came one after another, and Kong Jie looked a little dazed, but the smile at the corner of his mouth showed that the owner was more filled with happiness.
He didn't expect that Reporter Shen, who was always heroic and dashing, had such a housekeeping side.
It just hurt Monk Wei who was aside.
"Captain, I have always handled housekeeping like this, so other comrades may not be able to handle things better than me!
Please intercede with my sister-in-law for me. I'm not more meticulous than women, so how can I clean up the housework as well as their women? "
Shh shh shh——
Kong Jie quickly raised his finger, "You want to be scolded again?"
The monk said depressedly: "Captain, I always thought you were fearless."
"Nonsense, of course we are not afraid of the sky or the earth... Anyway, the sky cannot collapse and the earth cannot sink, so I have nothing to be afraid of.
But this wife is different. Once a woman becomes aggressive, the man will be doomed. This is no joke. "
"Rake your ears!" said the monk.
"You brat, who did you learn this from?"
"Sixth company commander, he is a soldier from Sichuan. He said that men who are afraid of their wives are called rake ears. It's so embarrassing!" The monk glanced at Kong Jie and said.
This is not bad, Kong Jie immediately retorted: "That boy, the sixth company commander, is almost 26 this year, he has never even touched a girl's hand, and he has been a bachelor for more than 20 years. What the hell does he know?
Even if you have rake ears, it does not mean that you are afraid of your wife, but it means that you respect your wife. Do you understand this?
You have to know that the fear you are talking about actually represents respect. For a husband who respects his wife, do you think the relationship between them will be bad? "
The monk couldn't explain it to Kong Jie, so he nodded in understanding.
Kong Jie suddenly felt a headache. As a dull boy like Monk, who was born in the Shaolin Temple, he would have to worry more about finding a wife in the future.
"Lao Kong, what are you talking about?" A voice of inquiry came from the room.
Kong Jie immediately responded to the room: "Report to the leader, I am helping you teach this stinky boy Monk a lesson! You said this boy is the same, the boss is not young anymore. According to his age, many people in the mountains are married. If this is even possible How can you be presentable if you can’t even sort out your personal affairs?”
Monk: "..."
…
According to Kong Jie's and Shen Wenyue's original intentions, the marriage of the two was actually not a big deal. It was just a testimony of love. There was no need to make too much noise or even affect the army.
But the headquarters thought that they could make use of this collective military wedding to paralyze the judgment of the Japanese army, so the collective military wedding, which was attended by five couples, suddenly became lively.
Not only the Taihang base was in a state of excitement because of the great event that had rarely happened in decades.
Including the neighbors around the Eighth Route Army, such as the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and some local National Army units, the headquarters sent some corresponding communication personnel to send out invitations.
Naturally, the first team is not idle here.
In particular, detachment leader Kong Jie had business contacts with many generals from the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, and had good friendships.
For example, Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment, Yang Chongshan of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Zhu Wenliang of the 31st Regiment of the National Army, and Wu Changsheng of the 71st Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
In addition, there are also many generals at the level of brigade commander and division commander, including some Central Army generals from central Henan who often have business dealings with a team.
Ever since Kong Jie led the rapid reaction force to northern Henan, he established a stable business channel with the Central Army in central Henan.
Kong Jie is rich and sincere, but the key is that he is Chinese.
So it was logical to take over most of the business that the Japanese had originally conducted with the Central Army.
Commander Tang, the commander-in-chief of the border regions of the four provinces of Lu, Su, Henan and Anhui, who is stationed in central Henan, is a very good businessman.
In the face of military enemies, he has always been cold-blooded.
But once they are business partners, they will definitely greet each other with a smile, even if just a moment ago, the person he greeted with a smile was his enemy with a cold eyebrow.
Commander Tang is also a very interesting character.
As the chairman of the committee, a fellow from Zhejiang is also an alumnus of the Japanese Military Academy, and he is very loyal to the chairman.
Therefore, the Chairman of the Generalissimo has always been considerate and considerate of Commander Tang.
Mr. Chairman understands this very clearly. His principle in employing people is that you don’t have to be talented, but you must be loyal to me!
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Commander Tang was not only loyal to the Chairman, but also quite talented in the military.
During the Battle of Nankou that year, Commander Tang commanded the 13th Army, his starting force, and fought a bloody battle with Itagaki Division for 19 days.
The fight was heart-stirring and the situation changed.
Commander Tang, who was in overall command at that time, was such a hero.
He once swore loudly to inspire the three armies:
"You have to live a hundred years, and you must die once!"
"If I die, the country will live; if I live greedily, the country will die!"
When the war situation reached a critical moment, Commander Tang even sent all his guards and orderlies to the front line. Even he personally went to the danger and rushed to the forward observation post to command the battle.
In the end, under the leadership of Commander Tang, the 13th Army severely damaged the Japanese army at the south entrance.
Commander Tang also won the title of "Anti-Japanese Hero" by virtue of this battle.
It's a pity that good times don't last long. How brave you were back then is how corrupt you are now.
Maybe the feng shui of the place where I was stationed was not good, or maybe the areas in northern and central Henan where I was stationed were really fertile and perfect for scraping oil and water.
After this back and forth, Commander Tang, who could not resist the temptation, began to use his power for personal gain and use the military to engage in business. Compared with other commanders in the same position, his monthly income was even hundreds of times higher than others.
How could he resist such tempting benefits?
It's a pity that the former anti-Japanese hero has turned into the money-grubbing businessman he is today.
In order to stabilize or even expand future business cooperation with the first team and the Eighth Route Army, Commander Tang also specially sent a team to celebrate. With a wave of his hand, he gave Kong Jie many congratulatory gifts.
In addition, Commander Fu from the 35th Route Army also sent people over.
Even the chairman of the committee sent a telegram, in which he claimed to congratulate the newcomers of the fifth team and the wedding of Captain Kong Jie.
Captain Kong's reputation was unparalleled due to his wedding.
On the 25th, the collective military wedding of five newlyweds officially began.
The wedding was held at a team base, and the newlyweds who also participated in the wedding were envious. Captain Wang even said with emotion:
】
"Old Kong, Old Kong, you have much more dignity than the four of us tied together!
I've been looking around, why are all the gifts given to you? "
Kong Jie patted his pocket and said with a smile: "Isn't this difficult to understand? This has nothing to do with the name. The main thing is that we have money in our pocket. As the old saying goes, this money can make the world go round. What's more, Forget about these living people.
I think most of these gift-givers are here for our money! "
Captain Wang was speechless for a moment, thinking in his mind, this is not what happened! Even I have to think about getting close to Lao Kong so that I can learn from Lao Kong’s experience and develop the economy of the base area!
It’s impossible not to admire him!
Five couples, five group leaders, and five brides.
In the years of heavy gunfire, many things were extremely pure. Even marriage seemed to be like this, especially weddings held in the military.
Most brides are not as reserved and shy as ordinary women.
The soldiers called each other "sister-in-law" affectionately, and these military wives could no longer handle them. They generously helped their husbands take care of the soldiers who came and went.
"Look, of course the most beautiful one is my wife!"
Standing next to Chu Yunfei, Kong Jie pointed proudly at Shen Wenyue, who was wearing a festive red dress and was greeting the soldiers, and introduced him to Chu Yunfei.
Captain Chu was very interesting. Firstly, he admired Kong Jie's ability to fight Japanese invaders, and secondly, the two had a good personal relationship. This time Kong Jie got married, Chu Yunfei said bluntly that he came here to celebrate for his sake.
"The so-called beauty matches a hero. A hero like Brother Kong should be accompanied by such a beauty. Brother Kong, congratulations!"
Chu Yunfei cupped his hands with a smile on his face, and then saw Li Yunlong beside him who seemed a little sour and couldn't help curling his lips, so he smiled at Li Yunlong again:
"Brother Yunlong, don't be discouraged. With Brother Yunlong's reputation, finding a beautiful wife is no problem. Chu will still come to congratulate you happily!"
Li Yunlong snorted twice, "That's for sure. Our old Li is a handsome young man from all over the country. If he is looking for a wife, can he look worse than Lao Kong's wife?"
"Hahaha, you're sour, Lao Li, you're sour, aren't you?"
While several people were talking, the monk hurried over and said a few words in Kong Jie's ear.
Kong Jie nodded, excused himself, and walked towards Shen Wenyue. When he walked in front of him, Kong Jie smiled and said:
"Madam is so beautiful today!"
Kong Jie can always create many interesting new words, and Shen Wenyue knows this.
"Beautiful bubbling, is there such an interesting and vivid way to describe it?"
Shen Wenyue thought happily, playful words of love always make people intoxicated, let alone coming from the mouth of Kong Jie, an iron-blooded general who killed the Japanese invaders on the front line.
"Lao Kong, why don't you have a straight face again? I wish I knew you were such a character..."
"You must have become my wife a long time ago!" Kong Jie laughed and grabbed the conversation.
Shen Wenyue was helpless and looked around, fearing that the flirting between the two would spread to the ears of other soldiers.
After all, she is also the detachment leader and everyone's sister-in-law, so she can't lose much face.
"Okay, stop making trouble, Wenyue, I will take you to see an elder!"
"Senior citizens?"
Shen Wenyue was a little confused. He knew about Kong Jie's situation. His parents died young.
In addition, weddings in the army are different from others, and there is a lot of gunfire right now, so there are many procedures that do not have to be traditional.
In short, everything is kept simple. After all, this is a very revolutionary period!
And who is the elder mentioned by Kong Jie?
Could it be that he is Lao Kong’s elder? Think so. Shen Wenyue felt a little uneasy, as she wanted to meet her parents.
Until I saw someone coming... "Dad, why are you here!"
Looking at his father, Shen Yousan, standing in front of him with a smile, and the old housekeeper who had been with his father for decades, Shen Wenyue was immediately enveloped in great joy.
"Miss!" The old housekeeper is always sentimental. He has watched his young lady grow up. Now that he sees Shen Wenyue again and knows that Shen Wenyue is getting married today, it is inevitable that he will be a little bit anxious about his daughter getting married. , couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Uncle Xu!" Shen Wenyue hugged him. The old housekeeper was also a father-like figure in his eyes.
When Shen Yousan was busy, the old housekeeper even took on the role of father.
Shen Yousan laughed and scolded from the side: "You old thing, how old are you? You are still crying. It's not a shame. There are so many comrades from the Eighth Route Army here who are watching!"
"Hey, what I said is true, we can't embarrass my uncle!"
Kong Jie, who followed Shen Wenyue and greeted her, said with a smile, "What's not to be ashamed of? If I had a daughter like Wenyue, I would burst into tears on the day she got married!"
As he said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Shen Wenyue looked at Kong Jie affectionately. He understood that Kong Jie had done this especially for him. He had secretly brought his father to the base from Zhongtiao Mountain just so that she could see her father on the occasion of her wedding today. .
This is the best gift that Kong Jie, as her husband, gave her.
Kong Jie's father-in-law Shen Yousan is quite a good person.
As a wealthy businessman from southern Shanxi, others thought that he, Shen Yousan, was rich, powerful and wise. The so-called Yousan.
But in fact, Shen Yousan, who was rich and benevolent, was a man of principle, shame, and national sentiment.
Wang Huaibao, the leader of the Fourth Independent Regiment, opened the Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Army base in Zhongtiao Mountain, and Shen Yousan was very helpful.
After learning that his daughter Shen Wenyue officially joined the Eighth Route Army and became a reporter at the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Shen Yousan destroyed his family to help out the situation and donated all his family property to the Eighth Route Army.
Shen Yousan may not be considered a big shot, but he is an upright man.
Kong Jie also admired his father-in-law very much...
