The origin of the "demobilized soldiers", among the people who attended the wedding, no one could say clearly. Whether it is his so-called comrade-in-arms when he was a soldier, or his current business partner, as long as he asks carefully, his comrades-in-arms are not from the same army, and his fellow villagers are not fellow villagers in his own village.

However, everyone unanimously agreed that the "demobilized soldiers" were sometimes a bit "buckle and noose," but they never erranded when they got started, and sometimes they even suffered losses and helped a few friends; in this way, as soon as he got married, of course, he was notified, and those who did not notice heard the letters also came, because at present, the "demobilized soldiers" are still a "celebrity" in Jingbei, and his current business has become very large, and the construction of the artillery regiment building alone is a big deal of several digits, and these people are "small and big" compared with him.

Zhang Nu did not have any family in Jingbei, so Chief Zhang was sitting as the chairman as a "righteous brother", and at the same table were the head of the artillery regiment plus Guo Kaishan and Liu Xuehua.

The regimental political commissar of the artillery regiment did not come to participate, which was expected by everyone, just because he was related to the ex-wife of the "demobilized soldier", and this time the "demobilized soldier" went to his office to give two packs of candy and one cigarette, as "acting".

The political commissar of the regiment has always had a good relationship with the "demobilized soldiers", but he is a "strict wife", so he can only verbally bless the newcomer, "I'm really sorry, you know my situation, it's inconvenient to go, don't be surprised." ”

"I can understand, it's a second marriage anyway, I just want to invite the big guy to a light meal, and in a few days, I'll invite you alone."

"Okay, I'll be there."

Jingbei's "marriage customs" have the local rules of Jingbei, if a young couple with no marriage history gets married, then they have to get up early, and they have to make a big fuss. However, the "second marriage" is different, not only is there no celebration of gongs and drums, but the wedding banquet has to be held in the afternoon. It's usually more than 3 p.m., which is a particular thing.

Under the guidance of a host who was looking for nowhere to find it, the "demobilized soldier" and Zhang Nu walked to the front of the wedding hall, and after some rhetoric, they started the banquet with "eat and drink well", and then the two newlyweds "lit cigarettes" next to each other, of course, is to receive a red envelope of about five to ten yuan, which is also an old tradition in the eighties, and all guests who come have to be a "part".

The food at the banquet was quite "hearty". At the same time of eight big bowls per table, there is also a good "Zhengtong Xiaoyao", as long as the dish on the plate is eaten halfway, there will be a waiter to take down the plate, and then "serve" a plate in the big washbasin of the room, the reason is very simple, the dishes are made a lot, all are packed with a large washbasin, as long as there is less, then fry. This is also a rule in Jingbei, that is, "only leftover, not enough, if it is not enough, it will show the stinginess of the master's family." It's ugly. ”

The first "cigarette lighting" table is, of course, the main table, and today's Chief Zhang is very happy, he has a sister in his hometown, but he doesn't have time to attend when his sister gets married. Since he got married back then, he just dealt with it, and today he seems to have come to the wedding scene again, and he is very hard to introduce the "VIPs" at the main table. also gave a detailed explanation to Liu Xuehua to Zhang Nu.

"Sister, this is a great nobleman, your brother and I rely on these two in the army, this is your brother Guo, what is this called~" Chief Zhang wanted Zhang Nu to call Liu Xuehua "sister", but he couldn't speak, he was afraid that Liu Xuehua would not be happy, and he didn't know what to do when the words came to his mouth.

"It's called sister, such a beautiful character, I've seen it for the first time, you're so beautiful, Brother Guo is your lover, you really deserve it."

Zhang Nu's words made Liu Xuehua blush, and she hurriedly explained, "Let's call it sister, I see that you are not as old as me, I am almost thirty years old, this is my best friend, and he is not worthy of being my object." ”

"Sister Liu, you smoke." Zhang Nu immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Xuehua's hand, and lit the fire very quickly.

The officers and men of the Red Army Division have all heard the story of Guo Kaishan. It is not because of how important he is in the Red Army Division, but the important thing is that the people he comes into contact with are all among the best "celebrities" in the Red Army Division. The former commander of the Red Army Division, and now the acting commander of the "Fourth Company Commander", was the "company commander" when Guo Kaishan joined the army. In addition, Liu Xuehua, the daughter of the commander of the military region, is said to have not married for Guo Kaishan, but she is not Guo Kaishan's person. This series of characters, surrounding an officer in the regular camp, will inevitably make people feel curious, and everyone can predict what Guo Kaishan's military career will be like in the future.

One of the people at the same table with Guo Kaishan was the director of the Political Department of the Artillery Regiment, who was formerly an officer of the Political Department of the Red Army Division, and before he was transferred to the Artillery Regiment, he had a relationship with Guo Kaishan, "Brother Kaishan, why are you here today?" Are you a friend or relative of the man, or a guest of the woman? ”

"Oh, I belong to the woman, what about you?"

"I, I don't know which side I'm from, hey, Captain, which side are we?"

The commander of the artillery regiment sitting next to him touched his head, "Lao Tzu doesn't know where the road is, anyway, someone has sent an invitation." It turned out that at the same time that the "demobilized soldiers" sent them invitations, Unit Chief Zhang also found them and told them about today's wedding, these two people are not very familiar with the "demobilized soldiers", and they have a work relationship with Unit Chief Zhang, so they can't tell which end they are.

Liu Xuehua walked to a female guest table and chatted with them, the other heads of the artillery regiment at the main table all saw that today was an opportunity, and they also walked to the side of their subordinates, eating and drinking, only the director of the artillery regiment and Guo Kaishan were still toasting and smoking each other.

"Brother Kaishan, what do you think of this hotel?"

"How's that? I don't understand what you mean. ”

"This land originally belonged to our artillery regiment."

"Oh, you said this, now the military is engaged in the tertiary industry, this is a prime location, it must have rented a lot of money." Guo Kaishan also heard that many grassroots troops are now "living" by renting land.

The director waved his hand, shook his head again, and said disdainfully, "There is no half-money, and it is in vain that people call for it, this hotel has not changed for seventy years since the day it was built." ”

Guo Kaishan didn't continue to chat, he lit a cigarette and turned his head to the newcomer who was toasting, because he knew the Tao, this was something he shouldn't know, and the relationship here was too complicated.

Seeing that Guo Kaishan deliberately avoided it, the director also lit a cigarette and took a puff, spitting out an oval smoke ring, "You also know the person who opened the restaurant." ”

Guo Kaishan didn't wait for him to continue, he picked up a glass of beer and said, "I'll go over there to toast, it seems that I also know the guests at that table." ”

"Slippery head." The director whispered, and spat a mouthful of yellow slurp on the ground, and he smacked it with his leather shoes that could no longer be polished, which may be his alternative habit.

Suddenly, there was a big chaos outside, a woman of about thirty walked in with an old lady of about sixty, and several young people on the road stopped them from entering, but the old lady scolded while squeezing in, "Why don't you let me in, I won't tell my son when he gets married, this bastard thing." ”

As soon as everyone heard that it was the mother of the "demobilized soldier", they did not dare to stop the old man anymore, and it was not until the old man walked up to the "demobilized soldier" to toast that he realized the arrival of his mother.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"What, I can't come, right, who did you tell you when you got married, if it wasn't for your daughter-in-law calling me, I wouldn't know what to do."

"Demobilized soldiers" glanced at Zhang Nu, and Zhang Nu said innocently, "I didn't make the call." ”

The woman who came in with the old man said, "The one who left hits." ”

The "demobilized soldiers" and Zhang Nu invited the old man to another empty room, went in for about ten minutes, and came out and said with a smile, "It's okay, there's nothing to do, everyone continue to drink, eat well, drink well." ”

Just as he finished speaking, a young woman in her twenties rushed in from outside, and as soon as she came in, she shouted, "Okay, you kid didn't say that as long as you divorce, you will marry me, what's the matter, you are playing the old lady, the old lady has done all the abortion in order to be good with you, you bastard, I will fight with you." I saw that she took out a fruit knife from her trouser pocket, dragged off the shell, and stabbed it at the "demobilized soldier". (To be continued......)
