When Zhou Wu heard it, since it was a family reunion, he was afraid that it was a little bad for an outsider to go over, and he was about to excuse himself.
Shen Lina saw Zhou Wu's thoughts, and immediately said: "Don't mind, my old father originally wanted to invite you in person, but I saw that he was old and his legs were inconvenient, so I came over to invite you on his behalf." ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard this, he would be a little embarrassed if he refused again, so he said: "Okay, then I'll go to visit Mr.
Shen today, it's just to trouble Xiao Shen." ” Shen Lina smiled and said, "Don't bother, it's good that the brigade can come, my old father has been talking about this all day long, and you can just fulfill his wish when you go." ” Zhou Wu came to Ding Ning's house, Mr.
Shen was already waiting outside the door on crutches, Zhou Wu saw it, hurriedly stepped forward, held Lao Shen's arm and said: "Old Mr. don't have to be so polite, you do this, I'm a little embarrassed, hurry up and enter the house." ” Lao Shen smiled: "I have heard the name of the brigade for a long time, I saw it today, and I got my old man's wish, and the old man has to express his gratitude to you, thank you for saving my life and that of the, this time I am fortunate to invite you to come, and I feel very honored." ” Zhou Wu hurriedly said: "Mr.
Shen is polite, this is all a gesture, you don't have to worry about it, you are also a famous patriotic squire in Huai'an City, and you have contributed a lot to our anti-Japanese forces in Jiangbei, and we have to thank you." ” Lao Shen very politely entered the house with Zhou Wu, and a table full of Huaiyang dishes had already been set on the table inside, smelling the fragrant dishes, Zhou Wu quipped: "Lao Ding, you are really blessed, marrying such a capable daughter-in-law, it is really a blessing from the previous life." ” Lao Shen laughed: "That's not the blessing of your travel, if it wasn't for your matchmaking, would the two of them be able to come and come, we will talk while eating, and the two will not be delayed." ” Zhou Wu sat down, Ding Ning also sat down, Shen Lina and her mother were busy stir-frying and serving dishes, and Ding Ning's daughter ran to Zhou Wu's side curiously, kept looking at Zhou Wu, and asked in a childish tone: "Dad, who is this uncle, why have I never seen it?"
Zhou Wu said with a smile: "Xiao Dingdang, why did you forget me, I am your father Zhou, you are still my goddaughter, the little guy has such a bad memory, he forgot me in less than two years, I didn't hug you less when you were a child." ” At this time, Shen Lina hurriedly came over, picked up Ding Dang and said to her: "Ding Dang, this is Dad Zhou, he always played with you when he was a child, but then he was too busy and didn't have the time to hug you, so now you don't know him, come forward and call Dad Zhou" Xiao Ding Dang blinked her beautiful big eyes, and refused to come forward at first, but later she saw Zhou Wu stretching out his arms to her with a smile, so she ran over and shouted: "Hello Daddy Zhou, Ding Dang wants you to hug you" After speaking, Ding Dang pouted and asked Zhou Wu to hug him.
Zhou Wu hurriedly picked up Xiao Dingdang, put her on his left leg, and said to her: "Xiao Dingdong, what do you want to eat, I'll pick you up vegetables" Lao Shen and Ding Ning Weng's son-in-law saw that as soon as the children came to the table, the adults said such good things, and hurriedly asked Shen Lina to hug Xiao Dingdang, and at first Xiao Ding was pestering Zhou Wu and refused to get off the table, but Ding Ning pricked up his eyes, Xiao Dingdang had no choice, so he obediently got off the table by himself and went to her mother and grandmother to play alone.
Zhou Wu looked at Xiao Dingdang's cute appearance, touched the scene, and couldn't help but think of his son, hey, if Xiao Shunzi was still there, it is estimated that he would be taller now, and he could be a big brother in front of Xiao Dingdang.
Xiao Shunzi is also as smart as Xiao Dingdang, as a father, he feels very guilty for not being able to fulfill his responsibility to protect them, all of which are the sins made by those little devils, which made his family ruined, his wife was separated, and now he is left alone to live, Zhou Wu secretly swore in his heart that this life is endless with these Japanese devils.
Mr.
Shen has read countless people, he knew from Zhou Wu's eyes that he saw Xiao Dingdang, and aroused Zhou Wu's heart, Zhou Wu's family, wife and children were tragically bombed by the little devil's plane, and his son-in-law Ding Ning had already told him, and he was furious, and immediately scolded the little devil for not being a person, not only bombing the army, but also throwing bombs at those unarmed people, Zhou Wu's brigade commander's family was ruined, but he was able to support it and lead the independent brigade team to break through the encirclement of the little devil and show his might on Gaoyou Lake, The little devils and traitors and puppet soldiers in the vicinity trembled, and finally under the joint encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army and the devil puppet army, they were forced to withdraw from Gaoyou Lake and join the New Fourth Army to continue to resist Japan.
Mr.
Shen toasted to Zhou Wu and said: "Luzao, this glass of wine is specially respected by the old man, you are a good man who resists Japan, and the devils and traitors who beat Jiangbei with his brothers tremble when they mention your name, even where are we in Huai'an, as long as your name is mentioned, those puppet army devils are also very afraid, which shows that Luzao is a great hero of resistance against Japan." ” Zhou Wu saw that Mr.
Shen was toasting, and hurriedly stood up and held his wine glass and said that he didn't dare to be: "Old man, I don't dare to be Zhou, the anti-Japanese killing of devils is the credit of our brothers in the Independent Brigade, my little thing is nothing, and if I don't have Lao Ding's help, I can't do anything, if you want to say that I am an anti-Japanese hero, I really don't dare to be, especially since I defected to the New Fourth Army, I feel more and more that my personal strength is too small, Why is the equipment of the New Fourth Army so much worse than that of the National Army, but why can I achieve big and small victories in battles with the devil puppet army again and again, I know that I only know a little bit now, and I have to study hard again to fully understand this truth. ” Lao Shen listened to Zhou Wu's words, drank the rice wine in the wine glass, and said: "Brigade seat, with all due respect to my old decay, although the national army is well-equipped and well-trained, why is the little devil who is facing the attack defeated again and again, so that he abandoned the city of Nanjing, causing the tragic Nanjing Massacre, I think it is that the high-level of the national army and the Nanjing government do not treat our people as people, you see that there are still people in this area of Jiangbei who go to the national army, and most of them are thrown into the New Fourth Army to resist Japan and kill devils, although we ordinary people don't read much, But who really resists Japan, who pretends to resist Japan, who is really for the sake of the people, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, you take the independent brigade of the national army to defect to the New Fourth Army This road is the right one, the old man is now more than seventy, I don't know how many years to live, but I can say a sentence here, if the national government continues like this, it is estimated that after the little devil is gone, they will not be able to save the country. ” Zhou Wu was a little confused when he heard Lao Shen's words, and hurriedly drank the rice wine in the cup, and asked Mr.
Shen and said: "The old man is so sure, I will hear what the truth is, although the national government is hiding in the Shuzhong area now, they still have millions of national troops under their hands, and they have just received assistance from the world powers such as Britain and the United States, so it is impossible to not be able to keep this country in a short period of time."
Zhou Wu thought that although the combat effectiveness of this national army was not good, it was still unambiguous when it came to fighting devils, and he didn't believe what Mr.
Shen said.
"Brigade seat, you will have a lot of time to leave if you defect to the New Fourth Army" Lao Shen didn't answer Zhou Wu's doubts directly, but just asked him.
"Oh, it's been almost two years, what" Zhou Wu couldn't understand why Lao Shen suddenly asked him this question.
"Then do you see anything different here from the previous national army," Old Shen smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Wu suddenly understood the meaning of Mr.
Shen's words, nodded to him and said: "The old man is reasonable, the reason why the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army in the north have been able to defeat the devils and puppet armies with such poor weapons and equipment is because of the support of the local people, and although the national army has received assistance from the British and American powers, it naturally does not get the support of the people when they treat the people as cattle and horses.
It is estimated that the situation is similar to what the old gentleman expected.
The relationship between our New Fourth Army and the local people can be described as the relationship between the army and the people, of course, even if we lose the battle, we are not afraid, because there is still a barrier behind us, that is, the vast number of people who support us. ” "Yes, the brigade seat said well, this is the reason why I have been secretly helping the anti-Japanese armed forces around Huai'an, especially the New Fourth Army, this time my old bones are almost killed in the hands of the little devil and the second dog, all rely on the brigade to lead the troops to rescue me, I am also a reincarnation, I thought to myself that there is only a daughter like Xiao Na, and the little Nanjing that has been following me in business has grown up, and it is time to go outside alone, so I thought about it for a few days and decided to go out, I took the liberty of asking the brigade seat to accept my guy Xiao Nanjing as the New Fourth Army, his father and mother died miserably, and he starved to death on the way to escape, I saw him halfway and couldn't bear to adopt him, and he was also a son, fortunately, he was still filial, and the old man hoped that Xiao Nanjing could experience and experience under your brigade, so that no one would care about the crooked road after I died, brigade, is this considered my plea to you, if you feel embarrassed or there is something that violates the discipline of the New Fourth Army, the old man will not blame you, Because now you are not in Gaoyou Lake for a while, and now you are a well-disciplined New Fourth Army team, I understand this reason. ” Mr.
Shen said to Zhou Wu that he originally wanted Xiao Nanjing to participate in the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army, and under Zhou Wu's training, he would become a useful person who fought devils and killed the enemy to protect the country. t1706231537:
