Chapter 205 - 205

Chapter 205 The Old Drunkard's Intention Is Not in the WineThe soldiers behind him didn't make a fuss, they just quietly lowered the enamel mug in their hands, and even the cicadas chirping outside the window seemed to be a little quieter.Next, one bows to the elders.Division Commander Jiang didn't spout any grand theories; he'd already said everything he needed to say. He simply patted Yun Huai on the shoulder and said, " Intimate reference to Yun Huai. From now on, you'll have to shoulder the responsibility both at home and outside."Yun Huai nodded and replied, "Yes."When it was Father Yun's turn, he didn't say much. "I won't keep everyone from having dinner. In short, I just hope that the two of them can live a harmonious and happy life."Father Yun's words made everyone laugh.Finally, the newlyweds toasted each other with tea. The tea was coarse tea brewed in the canteen, served in enamel mugs printed with "August 1st". The second brother served it to the second sister-in-law first. The second sister-in-law took a sip and then handed over the tea from her mug. Their hands touched the rim of the mugs, and they both smiled a little shyly.The old troupe leader, holding a tin microphone, concluded the ceremony in three sentences: "Intimate reference to Yun Huai's wedding, let's eat and drink well, and wish the newlyweds a life as warm and cozy as this sauerkraut and pork hot pot!""Haha... Great, life is getting better and better..."A round of enthusiastic applause erupted.As soon as the words were spoken, the transistor radio in the corner started playing the melody of "The August 1st Army Flag Flies High." "We are the waves of the Yellow River, we are the surging waves of the Yangtze River," the stirring chorus accompanied the soldiers' unconsciously straightened backs.Several young soldiers hummed along, and someone threw a handful of fruit candies behind the new recruits. The candy wrappers landed on the canvas tablecloth, blending in with the dishes on the table, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.After the ceremony, Li Man sat back down at the table with the women, her face still flushed.Yun Ting smiled and stopped teasing her, but remarked that the wedding was quite interesting.I wonder if her wedding with Duan Xingye will be similar?Several young soldiers secretly glanced at her several times."Is that girl the deputy battalion commander's sister? She's so pretty..."Meanwhile, Yun Xu also caught the attention of the sisters in Li Man's cultural troupe. Seeing that he looked somewhat similar to Yun Huai, they guessed his identity.He kept glancing at Yun Xu. Yun Xu noticed someone looking over and looked in that direction. It was a female comrade in military uniform. He frowned and glanced at his second brother beside him.He thought to himself, "My second brother is already married, so why is there still a femalecomrade staring at him? It wouldn't be good if people misunderstood him like this."I'll have to remind my second brother when it's over.He didn't think about himself at all, so he had no idea that people were looking at him.Yun Huai naturally noticed it too, but he knew that the person was probably looking at his silly younger brother.Just as everyone was halfway through their meal, an unexpected person arrived.Hearing the noise, Yun Ting casually glanced towards the door, then suddenly froze...She immediately put down her chopsticks, got up, and ran towards the door.She ran up to the man and stopped, looking up at him with surprise, " Duan Xingye, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me beforehand."When I asked him last time, he said he didn't have time to come, but I didn't expect him to sneak over today.Duan Xingye looked at the person running towards her, a smile playing on her lips, and affectionately patted her head, "I came because I missed you."Yun Ting thought to herself, "This guy is getting better and better at sweet talk.""Hey! Busy man, I thought you weren't coming."Yun Huai walked over and teased."Congratulations, groom!" Duan Xingye patted him on the shoulder with a smile.Li Man also got up and walked over, " Regiment Leader Duan is here."" Second Sister-in-law is good…""Who is your Second Sister-in-law? Have you been officially appointed yet? Why are you calling me Second Sister-in-law?" Yun Huai said with a laugh and a scolding tone.Li Man smiled and nodded in response."Look, even the second sister-in-law has admitted it, unlike you, the second brother, who is so stingy.""Alright, hurry up and go eat, or we'll all be waiting. If you're any later, we'll have to come and help clear the table and wash the dishes."Duan Xingye walked behind Yun Ting and whispered to her, "Xiao Yun, I'll go with your second brother first, and I'll come find you after we're done.""good…""What are you doing? Is there something we can't hear?""Second brother, why are you so nosy? You only live by the river, not by the sea.""You brat, you really have a sharp tongue. It's my wedding day, and you don't even know how to be considerate."Duan Xingye first went over to greet Mother Yun, then went over to Father Yun's side.Division Commander Jiang and several other leaders also knew Duan Xingye, as he had previously served in the Heilongjiang Military Region.Duan Xingye had already greeted everyone."Hoshino, I should call you Regiment Leader Duan now, haha...""Distinguished leaders, please don't make fun of me. Come, come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."Everyone ate and chatted, creating a lively atmosphere. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they all dispersed, as they still had work to do in the afternoon.As soon as it ended, Duan Xingye couldn't wait to find Yun Ting.With Father Yun Mother Yun said something and then took Yun Ting out.Mother Yun shook her head helplessly. Don't think she didn't see it; during the meal, the two of them kept looking at each other with such warmth that she felt embarrassed.However, I am still very happy. As parents, we are naturally pleased that our children have all found suitable partners."Grandma, Uncle and Aunt didn't take Little Girlwith them to play," the little girl complained, pouting."Haha, you're just a little kid, don't bother your aunt, she's too busy to talk to you right now."Yun Xu chuckled and tapped her forehead."Uncle, stop poking my forehead! What if I become stupid?" Or, "I'll keep poking you, so you'll become a little silly girl...""Uncle, you're so mean! I'm ignoring you now, hmph..."Father Yun Mother Yun didn't care about them; anyway, this kind of thing always happened when the uncle and nephew got together, and they would be fine afterward.In fact, Duan Xingye didn't have much time. He spent an afternoon with Yun Ting, and he had to leave in the evening."Why didn't you say so sooner? That way we could have gone back earlier and made you something to eat in the car.""It's okay, I can buy my own food. I don't want to trouble you.""Take care on your journey. See you when I get back to Capital City.""Okay, once we get back to Capital City, I'll arrange for my parents to meet my aunt and uncle, and we should start planning our wedding."Yun Ting nodded in agreement.Duan Xingye looked around, quickly hugged Yun Ting, and said reluctantly, "Then I'm leaving. Please tell your parents that I'm going back first. I don't have time to say goodbye in person. Also, don't stay too long at Xiangyang Brigade. I'll wait for you at Capital City."Yun Ting nodded again, feeling a pang of reluctance, and waved vigorously at him.By the time Yun Ting slowly walked back toFamily Compound, her reluctance to leave had long since dissipated."You've finally decided to come back? Where's Brother Xingye?" Yun Xu asked as soon as she saw her return.Everyone else was also looking at her."He went back; he ran out of time and didn't come in.""This child is so thoughtful. Despite being so busy, he still made a special trip over, had a meal, and then left in a hurry.""Mom, his real intention is not what it seems.""What drunkard?""Pfft..." Li Man couldn't help but chuckle.Yun Ting also curled her lips into a smile.
