Chapter Twenty-Three: Friends of Wine and Meat

Cheng Laozhuan asked the guy to find them an empty table, but the guy said that he was incapable: If you are not satisfied, you can change the restaurant to eat, or you have to wait here.

Cheng Lao was angry and just wanted to slap this guy in the mouth, but seeing that more than 60% of the people who ate in the hall were wearing military uniforms, he suppressed the fire in his heart again. This is the territory of the Third Army, and he is an authentic impostor. If you don't get into trouble before you get down to business and attract the attention of the relevant departments of the Third Army, this time it will be in vain!

Cheng Laozhuan rolled his eyes, waved his hand and asked the guy to go away, "Okay, okay, get busy with your go." I saw an acquaintance, so I had a table with him. ”

The entourage who came with him wondered, when did the battalion commander have acquaintances in Wenxi County? Could it be that the scout came first? The four warriors glanced around, and several of them shook their heads at each other, none of them familiar. Cheng Laozhuan beckoned the four of them to go in one direction, and there were no empty tables over there.

It was a table that could seat eight people, and three people were eating and chatting next to the table. Cheng Laozhuan walked up to him and pulled a chair and sat down, "Hehe, it's full." I'm sorry, let's share a table. ”

The three people on the table frowned at the time, but when they looked at the rank of major on Cheng Lao's collar, they couldn't help it. The major, at least a battalion commander, is also a middle-level officer. The highest rank of these three is only a major, and the two are equal in military rank.

The major moved the bench slightly, nodded in greeting. Cheng Laogang beckoned the four followers to sit down together, and this time the eight-person platform was full.

Order! In terms of eating, Cheng Lao Rods is never ambiguous. Crispy chicken, braised fish, steamed pork ribs, spiced beef, ordered eight dishes and one soup, and a table full of delicious food. I asked for two bottles of wine, poured a glass for each person, and pushed the other bottle directly to the three, "It's better to meet by chance, since you meet, it's fate, come, eat together." ”

The three of them originally asked for two meat, two vegetables and four dishes, and they had been eating for a while, and now they took eight dishes and one soup to share the feast, and the three of them were a little embarrassed. The leading major was just about to excuse himself, but Cheng Lao Gong made a look, and the soldier closest to the three stood up and filled a glass of wine for each of the three people.

"Come, let's go!" Cheng Laogang picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The servants looked at it, yes, this can't be drunk anymore, so let's go. After the servants drank the wine in the glass, they naturally took chopsticks to pick up the dishes, and the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly became warm.

On one side, the three of them met by accident, and they really thought they had met a warm-hearted person; The five people over there were all secretly making up their minds, preparing to calculate people behind their backs. It's a bit like a sheep and a wolf eating at the same table.

"May I ask what part of you are man?" After the major and Battalion Commander Cheng touched a cup, they asked each other's troop numbers like homely chatter. Who said that the other party is heartless? People have good brains.

"I, we are all from the Twelfth Division."

"Twelve divisions? Isn't that in Hengshui? Are you here for something? "The major knows a lot about the situation of the 12th Division, and the meaning in his words seems that he still has some methods, and if Cheng Laozhuan has anything difficult, he may be able to help.

Meet the enthusiasts!

Cheng Laozhuan was excited, picked up the wine glass and filled himself with another glass, "Come, another drink!" "Regardless of whether others drank it or not, he drank this glass himself first, which is a small celebration." Director Chen, I don't know if you've heard of the 88th Column? ”

"Eighty-eight vertical? Yes. How? Are you having trouble with them? "Not to mention, this director surnamed Chen really knows that there is such a number as the 88 column.

"Nope. I was entrusted by Commander Hu of the 88th Column to do a little work. Director Chen knows that it is better to say that the 88 Column. In this way, as soon as you and I meet each other, I will say anything to my face. Director Chen, do you know that there is a company commander named Murati in the 88th Column, who seems to have been detained by Wen Xirang? ”

"The commander of the Mulat Company of the Eighty-Eight Column?" Director Chen frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "I remembered!" Eh, Camp Commander Cheng, what are you asking about Mulati? He's your subordinate? No? Didn't you ask him why? Let me tell you, the military seat already knows about this matter of Murati, and if the military seat does not speak, no one can let it go! "Director Chen of the dare lover thinks that Camp Director Cheng is looking for him to release him.

If you really invite you to eat a meal and let people go, I know what is it if you eat ten meals in a row? Cheng Laogang muttered to himself in his heart, and he had to deal with it quickly, "It's not about releasing people, I know it's not easy." I just wanted to meet that Murati. You don't know, in the battle of Tashan, the 88th Column helped us. Our teacher is very grateful, so I want to give something to express our gratitude. ”

"Commander Hu of the 88th Column doesn't want anything, he just asks our division commander to send someone to inquire about what is going on with Company Commander Mu? How's it going? By the way, I'll send him something to eat. After Commander Hu came to Wenxi, he personally went to negotiate with the military seat. Then don't do the business of us little soldiers. ”

"Yes, what Camp Commander Cheng said is so right! Saving people is their chief's business, we are just a small soldier, it's good to be able to control ourselves, who can control the affairs of the head of the family? So, if you're just meeting to deliver something delicious, then I might be able to help you out. But I can't say it's dead, if you have a way to run your way, I can only promise to help you try. ”

"Well, then I can't thank you enough! Come, I'll toast you again. Cheng Laozhu picked up the wine glass and drank it all again. Looking at Section Chief Chen on the other side and drank it all, the two looked at each other and smiled, but the meaning of the smile was different.

After the meal, the two sides left each other's mailing addresses and then said goodbye to each other. Director Chen went back to his Third Army Judge Advocate General's Office, and of course, he was not the Director of the Judge Advocate General's Office. Director Chen was only the chief of the field service section under the Military Justice Department of the Third Army, and at the beginning, some people who did not know his position called him the director of the division, and he did not correct him. It's been like that for a long time, isn't it just a title, who cares about him?

Cheng Laogang found a relatively large hotel in the city, which is quite famous in Wenxi. The conditions inside the brigade are not bad, the beds are fully equipped with hot water. Cheng Laogang planned to rest in the hotel for half a day to brush up his thoughts.

As soon as he washed his face and lay on the bed, someone was looking for him outside. When I called someone in and asked, it turned out that it was sent by Section Chief Chen to invite someone. Section Chief Chen invited Battalion Commander Cheng and his entourage to inspect the Third Army confinement room! Did the inspectors go to inspect the confinement chambers? This is obviously to provide convenience for you to meet.
