The wedding of Captain Zhang Lei, the commander of the Second Special Warfare Company, will be held today.Lei Keming was wearing a tuxedo, his hair was oiled, and he was conducting a small symphony orchestra with a baton. The performance of "Joyful" made the musicians shake their heads, and Lei Keming was also pleased with himself.Xiao Qin sat on the chief seat, and Liu Yongjun's old comrades-in-arms and subordinates came to congratulate him one after another.Retired Deputy Commander Zhang was wearing an air force uniform without epaulettes, and sat next to Xiao Qin with his wife, and the two old people were chatting happily.

"Today is a great day to reclaim Hong Kong. Our old Liu will be on duty in the combat duty room of the military region." Xiao Qin said with a smile, "So I can't attend the wedding today. He entrusted me to apologize to you two. Go to drink at home tomorrow. Deputy Commander Zhang and Lao Liu have a good drink!"

"Hey! Xiao Bingbing!" He Xiaoyu rushed forward and snatched the child, "Let mother kiss you!" Fang Zijun smiled: "Then you can hold it today, this child is getting fatter and fatter, I can't hold it anymore!" Xiao Bing The soldier giggled, reaching out to grab the umbrella badge and diving badge on Liu Xiaofei's chest.Liu Xiaofei smiled and took it off and put it on for Xiao Bingbing: "Son! Uncle will send you now, and you will earn it yourself when you grow up!" "You can't be a special soldier when you grow up!" Fang Zijun smiled wryly.He Xiaoyu hugged Xiao Bingbing and kissed with a smile: "Yes, son! When we grow up, we should not be special soldiers, we should be military doctors! Our brains are smart, how can we be special soldiers with strong limbs and a simple mind?" Lin Qiuye smiled wryly: "You It depends on your father’s combat readiness and nonsense before he comes on duty! Your father has been a special soldier all his life, let him hear it and still not fix you?” He Xiaoyu smiled: “Hey! He dares! Go, son, mom will take you to find dad!” "Who is here!" Chen Yong was already a major, he stood out from the crowd in surprise, rushed over, hugged his son and kissed him.The beard pierced the son's face, and he cried and called his mother in the simplest syllables.Fang Zijun hurried over to snatch his son: "I said you have to kiss him? Look at your beard!"

"I shaved!" Chen Yong laughed.Fang Zijun rolled his eyes at him: "You can kill a cow if you scrape it! Stay away from my son! Be good, the soldiers don't cry—" The soldiers laughed happily.Xiao Zhuang, a new member of the special brigade who was just selected to stand aside with a jug, laughed: "Sister-in-law, what should we do if our battalion commander kisses you?" Fang Zijun couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey! Look, Chen Yong! This is you The soldiers you bring? Are they big or small?"

"Look if I won't fix you!" Chen Yong glared, "I won't punish you for the marriage of Company Commander Zhang today, and you will be alone for 5 kilometers tomorrow morning!" "Yes!" Xiao Zhuang stood at attention with a bitter expression on his face. "There are no rules." Chen Yong laughed, "Xiao Zhuang is not only a soldier from the city, he was also a college student when he joined the army, and he studied as a director in the drama school. I am used to being free and undisciplined, so I will deal with him later!" Fang Zijun said with a smile: "You? You are not allowed to physically punish soldiers. Now it is civilized to lead soldiers! Xiaozhuang, if your battalion commander dares to punish you, you can tell sister-in-law, and sister-in-law will deal with him!"

"Yes—" Xiaozhuang shouted in a strange voice.As soon as Fang Zijun sat down with the baby in his arms, He Xiaoyu flew over and snatched it away: "Son, mom will take you to watch TV! Hong Kong is back to China today!"

Xiaozhuang came over to pour Fang Zijun wine, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, are you from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the General Hospital of the Military Region?" "Ah? What's the matter?" Fang Zijun looked at him.Xiao Zhuang laughed: "Xiaoying—is it in your department?" Fang Zijun looked at him and said, "Hey! You are not a bold person, you dare to think about the new beauty in our department? That is our hospital. A new generation of garden flowers!"

"She's my girlfriend, she was in high school." Xiao Zhuang chuckled, "I know you're coming, please send me the letter."

Fang Zijun took the envelope with a smile: "Success, the little soldier is in trouble now? What did you write, why don't I review it first?" "Love poems." Xiao Zhuang laughed.Fang Zijun sighed: "It's terrible! It's terrible! Chen Yong!" "Here!" Chen Yong was talking to other cadres, turned around and stood up. "When you were chasing me, why didn't you write love poems?" Fang Zijun asked with a smile on purpose.Chen Yong smiled awkwardly: "Me? Where do I have that brain? Didn't I make a lot of bullet handicrafts for you?" The soldiers roared with laughter.In the background, Zhang Lei sorted out the military appearance in front of the military mirror, and pinned the parachute emblem of the airborne troops, the parachute emblem of the army special forces and the diving emblem of the army special forces one by one.He put on his military cap and looked at the handsome and heroic captain of the Army Special Forces in the mirror.The groom's fireworks are pinned on the right chest.He let out a long breath, smiled confidently, and walked towards the dressing room.

"Speak lightly! This is the only time in my life, can I not be nervous?" Liu Fangfang took a deep breath and closed her eyes.A dark, rough hand with sharp bones stretched out silently, and took the eyebrow pencil from the female classmate's hand.The female classmate smiled and stepped back.Liu Fangfang waited with her eyes closed, and felt very strange that there was no movement for a long time.Hooking her chin with one hand, she turned her face slowly, her face was as delicate as a flower: "Hurry up! Zhang Lei is impatient, don't make him wait! Or you will get angry with me again! I'll go He rushes to buy everything in the mall, and he must be anxious about such a big thing as marriage!"

The female classmate burst into laughter, covered her mouth and went out quietly, and closed the door gently with her hands back.The eyebrow pencil slowly fell on her eyebrows, tracing them meticulously.Liu Fangfang dared not speak or move, for fear of ruining her makeup.After Zhang Lei finished drawing, he smiled and said, "That's right, the beauty is delicious."

You are doing well now You are also a company commander, don't play hooligans with me at every turn!"

"Come here, you!" Zhang Lei smiled and pulled her into his arms. Liu Fangfang was still struggling, but Zhang Lei's lips were already covered.Liu Fangfang hooked his neck and kissed him passionately.Zhang Lei's hand reached into Liu Fangfang's military uniform, and Liu Fangfang pushed him away: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! When are you still making trouble? Are you growing up?"

Zhang Lei put on his military cap with a smile: "Success, I'll clean you up tonight." "Help—I'm marrying a big hooligan!" Look at you, not to mention the smell of cigarettes, it ruined my makeup!" Liu Fangfang hurriedly fixed her lipstick in front of the mirror.There was a knock on the door, and the female classmate shouted from outside: "I said you two are tired enough? We are waiting outside!" "Come on! Come!" Liu Fangfang said anxiously, "Look, it's all because of you!" Yes!" She put on her lipstick, licked her lips on the toilet paper, and put on her hat: "Oh, what are you smoking at this time? Let's go!"
