As soon as they heard this, the faces of Zhang Mouzhi and his wife and Zhang Yuannan immediately changed.

Wait for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War to get married? When will that be? If you don't win the War of Resistance for five years, you won't get married for five years? If you don't win the War of Resistance for ten years, you won't get married for ten years?

Won't that drag our family Manyi into an old girl?

Principal Chang and his wife also looked embarrassed, but it was hard to say anything.

"No way!" Mrs. Zhang said categorically, "When will it have to wait?" ”

Zhang Mouzhi also had an angry face, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Zhong, you want to follow the example of Huo Quai, the great general of the Han Dynasty, I admire you, but as a father, I will never let my daughter wait like this!" ”

"Dad, Mom, I'm willing to wait!" At this time, Zhang Manyi hurriedly said, "I'm willing to wait!" ”

"You ......" Zhang Mouzhi and his wife were angry when they heard this, but they couldn't bear to criticize their daughter.

At this time, Mrs. Chang came out to play a round and said: "The reason why Ziren put forward this condition is actually because I don't want to delay Man Yi, after all, bullets don't have eyes, and anything can happen on the battlefield, otherwise, when will Ziren be promoted to major general and get married again?" When you become a general, you don't need to take the lead anymore. ”

Zhang Mouzhi and his wife immediately stopped saying anything, after all, Zhong Yi is already a colonel now, and he is only one step away from the major general, although this step is difficult to cross, but seeing that Principal Chang and his wife came to the door in person, they are talking about matchmaking and recognizing their godsister, and they are like this for Zhong Yi, maybe they will take this step tomorrow.

Zhong Yi wanted to refuse, but as soon as he came into contact with Zhang Manyi's eyes, his heart softened.

At that moment, Zhong Yi nodded silently.

"It's done!" Mrs. Chang said happily, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, then let's get engaged today!" ”

Zhang Mouzhi and his wife naturally had no opinion, and the Zhang family began to gather up and down, and by the evening, the entire Zhang Mansion was already full of lights and beaming.

Moreover, the news of the engagement between Miss Zhang Jiawu and Principal Chang's proud protégé also spread, and all of a sudden, whether they knew or not, they came to please the wine and drink.

However, Zhang Manyi's third brother-in-law, who is Mrs. Chang's brother Song Ziwen, did not come, but just asked his wife, Zhang Manyi's third sister Zhang Leyi, to bring He Yi over.

Then came the engagement ceremony, although the time was rushed, but the Zhang family still made it very grand.

The Zhang family is a Christian family, and Mrs. Chang is also a Christian, so the engagement ceremony follows Western procedures.

After a set of procedures, Zhong Yi became the Zhang family's fast son-in-law, and their names for each other were changed.

……

Principal Chang was busy with state affairs and did not stay to attend the engagement ceremony, but before leaving, he left a message and asked Zhong Yi to rush to the chamberlain to attend the meeting immediately after attending the engagement ceremony.

So as soon as the ceremony was over, Zhong Yi left Zhang's house.

When Zhong Yi drove to Tingsonglu, the meeting in the attendant's room had already ended.

Wang Shihe asked Zhong Yi to wait outside, and after waiting for a while, the door of the study opened, and a figure that made Zhong Yi slightly surprised walked out of the study, this person was none other than Zhang Lingfu!

"Zhong Lin?" Zhong Yi hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Ziren, come in, the principal is waiting for you." Zhang Lingfu nodded.

It can be seen that Zhang Lingfu is in a very good mood, but also, how rare is it for a colonel like Zhang Lingfu to be summoned by Principal Chang alone?

Zhang Lingfu at this time, after all, was not the commander of the reorganized 74th Division ten years later.

Zhang Lingfu turned around and walked away excitedly, Zhong Yi settled down and walked into the study.

"Headmaster!" Zhong Yi stood upright and saluted.

"Ziren." Principal Chang smiled and said, "Congratulations." ”

Zhong Yi said: "Principal Xie." ”

Principal Chang waved his hand, and the expression on his face began to become serious.

Zhong Yi knew that he was going to talk about the topic, and his face became serious at the moment.

Principal Chang first took out two reports from the drawer, patted them gently, and said: "You and Zhong Lin's report, I have carefully read it from beginning to end, it is very well written, the analysis of the battle situation is very thorough, and all aspects of the factors are also very fully considered, to be honest, I am very surprised, and I am also very pleased." ”

"Because it doesn't look like it was written by two regimental commanders!"

"It looks like it was written by the chief of staff or deputy chief of staff of the General Staff!"

To be honest, Principal Chang's evaluation is very high, but Zhong Yi does not have a trace of pride on his face, not only is there no expression on his face, but there is also no fluctuation in his heart.

Looking at Zhong Yi's quiet appearance, Principal Chang sighed in his heart.

is also a student of the Luojia Mountain Training Regiment, the gap will come out as soon as possible, after Zhang Lingfu heard his praise just now, the whole person was immediately excited, and he didn't come out of the excitement until he left later, but Zhong Yi didn't have any expression after hearing this!

He didn't even say a word of "the principal's false praise".

Thinking of this, Principal Chang hesitated a little again.

Is it really a good choice to hand over such an important position to Zhong Yi and put such a lot of power in the hands of Zhong Yi? Zhong Yi's allegiance is always to the country, not to him!

So Principal Chang decided to try it again!

At that moment, Principal Chang said: "Ziren, tomorrow the Luojia Mountain Senior Officer Training Corps will hold a graduation ceremony, and the whereabouts of most of the students have been determined, but because you and Zhong Lin's performance is particularly outstanding, I would like to hear your own opinions on the arrangement of the two of you." ”

"Report to the principal, I have no opinion." Zhong Yi said without hesitation, "I will go wherever the principal tells me to go." ”

Principal Chang's thoughts, how could Zhong Yi not know? But he doesn't care, there are some things that you can't do as you want, even if you're the principal!

Principal Chang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "Regarding the 367th Regiment, the approval of the Ministry of Military Affairs has come down, and it will be expanded into a brigade in the near future, and the expanded 367 Brigade will have jurisdiction over three infantry regiments, a combat defense artillery battalion, an engineer battalion, plus an independent tank company, and the whole brigade will have more than 10,000 officers and soldiers. ”

Zhong Yi didn't say a word, and looked at Principal Chang silently.

When Principal Chang said this, he kept staring at Zhong Yi, trying to see a clue in Zhong Yi's eyes.

But in the end, Principal Chang was disappointed to find that there was no trace of emotional fluctuations in Zhong Yi's eyes.

After pondering for a moment, Principal Chang said again: "Lin Wei just recommended to me that Zhu Liangcheng should be the commander of the 367 Brigade after the expansion, Ziren, do you think Zhu Liangcheng can do it?" ”

As the director of the chamberlain, Lin Wei has the right to recommend.

Zhong Yi said without thinking: "No problem at all!" ”

Principal Chang bowed his head lightly and said, "So, you really don't have any idea about your own whereabouts?" ”

Zhong Yi snapped upright and said proudly: "Principal, the student is still what he said just now, I will go wherever the principal tells me to go, in the water and in the fire, I will never frown!" ”
