Chapter 292
The atmosphere at the table was high.
People kept coming to toast the regiment leader.
Everyone expressed their good expectations and wishes for the regiment leader's future.
But as they spoke, tears came down one by one.
Some people even hugged the regiment leader and cried loudly, and they couldn't be pulled away.
Zhou Zhongyi kept holding back his tears, toasting with them and comforting them: "Why are you crying? Put away all the cat urine. I was transferred, not gone!"
"There is no banquet that will not end. When fate comes, we will be together. When fate is over, we will have to separate!"
Everyone cried even more sadly.
Everyone knew that there is no banquet that will not end, but when it really came to this time, no one could accept it.
Many people here were brought up by the regiment leader himself.
Especially Zhang Jiantao and a group of backbones in the regiment. They had just joined the army and had been serving under Zhou Zhongyi.
After so many years of getting along, the relationship is no longer just that of superiors and subordinates. Although there is no blood relationship, it is better than family.
The regiment commander is like their good elder brother, and also their guide on the road to military service.
Now, their good elder brother is leaving.
Although they are still in the army, from now on, they are indeed separated from each other. How can they feel bad?
That night, I don’t know how much wine they drank, and many people got drunk.
But Zhou Zhongyi’s alcohol tolerance is surprisingly good today.
One glass after another, but his head is always clear.
The farewell party ended quickly, and everyone was carried back reluctantly.
Some even started talking nonsense: "Regiment commander, you, don’t leave. Bring your sister-in-law over, we will help you take care of them together!"
Zhou Zhongyi asked someone to send them back, and laughed and scolded: "Look at your bears, take care of yourself first, one by one!"
After a while, everyone was sent away.
The kitchen staff cleaned the table and left two lights on when they left.
The cafeteria suddenly became much darker. Zhou Zhongyi looked dazed as he glanced at the empty cafeteria.
At this moment, he could no longer suppress his emotions. He lay on the table and burst into tears.
After crying for a long time, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
Zhou Zhongyi knew who it was without looking up.
He slowly raised his head and wiped his tears: "Give me a cigarette."
Lin Hui lit one and handed it to him.
Zhou Zhongyi took a deep breath and raised his head.
He was surprised to see a pack of soft Zhonghua in front of him.
Lin Hui stuffed the cigarette into his hand and said with a smile: "I always took yours before, and this time I will let you take advantage of it."
Zhou Zhongyi laughed and put the cigarette away.
The two sat down next to each other and smoked together.
Every time they finished a cigarette, Lin Hui would take out two more and then stuff the remaining pack into his pocket.
Soon, Zhou Zhongyi's two pockets were full.
Lin Hui exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at him: "Don't worry about the group. It will remain the same when you leave."
"Everyone will always remember you and remember that you are our group leader. No matter how many years have passed or how many people have changed, the group will always remember your name."
"No matter where you go in the future, you will always be with us!"
Zhou Zhongyi nodded calmly without saying anything.
He may not believe what others say.
But as long as Lin Hui agrees, he can be 100% assured.
Lin Hui continued to talk to himself: "Go back and take good care of your sister-in-law. After arriving at the armed forces, the workload is very light, and there are only a few training sessions a month. When you have nothing to do, stay at home with your sister-in-law, help her take care of the baby, and make up for what you owe her before."
"I will help you stay here and wait for your son to grow up and let him take over your job."
"I will let him wear a military uniform, tell him your story, let him take over your baton, and become a better soldier than you!"
He emphasized: "Of course, you have to let him volunteer to join the army, and you can't force him to do something he doesn't like. He has to like being a soldier himself."
Zhou Zhongyi's eyes were red, My heart was also warm: "After returning, your sister-in-law wants to open a small supermarket. When I am free, I can help her manage it."
Lin Hui was surprised: "Sister-in-law is like this, and she still runs a small supermarket. Isn't it too tiring?"
Zhou Zhongyi smiled and looked at the darkness outside: "You don't know your sister-in-law. She is a strong woman. Even if her legs are gone, she will not let herself be idle. Over the years, if her personality is a little softer, she will not persist until now."
"It's really unlucky to marry someone like me."
"Next, I will spend the rest of my life to make up for it and fulfill her wishes."
Lin Hui nodded silently.
Although he has never seen his sister-in-law, he can imagine his sister-in-law.What kind of person is she?
A woman whose husband has been serving in the army thousands of miles away for years, defending the country.
She has to take care of her parents-in-law, her own parents, raise her children, and work.
She even secretly took a second job to supplement the family income without telling the regiment commander.
If she hadn't been strong-willed, she would have been unable to bear it.
She has been able to persist until now, on the one hand, because of her pride and pride in the regiment commander's military identity, and on the other hand, because of her selfless love for the regiment commander.
Otherwise, how can we say that every military wife is great?
Lin Hui asked with concern: "It costs a lot of money to open a small supermarket, do you have enough money?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhongyi smiled heartily: "Over the years, I have saved a lot of money. There is no place to spend money when I am a soldier. All the food, clothing and daily necessities are in the army."
"Your sister-in-law is frugal and manages the family. She has saved some money over the years."
"There is the start-up capital, and she is capable. I just need to help her."
Lin Hui didn't say anything more.
My sister-in-law is in a state where she cannot find a job.
Opening a small supermarket is indeed a good choice.
The head of the group helped with the purchase of goods, while my sister-in-law sat in a wheelchair and was responsible for the cashier in front.
Under the dim light, the two of them sat there smoking silently, and no one spoke.
Only after finishing a pack of cigarettes did Lin Hui stand up and look at him and say, "Tomorrow, I'll take you there."
Zhou Zhongyi paused, did not refuse, just nodded, "Okay."
Lin Hui glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned and left.
Zhou Zhongyi sat alone in the cafeteria for a long time.
It was not until late at night that he slowly stood up.
He looked around, looked at the familiar cafeteria environment, and then looked at the seat where he had just sat, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Soon, all this only existed in memories.
Zhou Zhongyi sighed helplessly in his heart, and finally turned and left.
...
Late at night.
At the gate of the headquarters.
Wang Yixue hurried out from inside, and saw Lin Hui standing at the door from a distance, walking back and forth anxiously.
She happened to be here for business these two days, so she stayed in the headquarters guesthouse: "What happened in the middle of the night? Why did you call me in such a hurry?"
Lin Hui looked at her and asked: "You have been in the army for so long, you should know a lot of people, right?"
Wang Yixue was stunned for a moment: "I do know some, what's the matter?"
Lin Hui said excitedly: "It's good to know people, then you must do me a favor!"
Wang Yixue was surprised: "What help? No, it's the middle of the night, is it so urgent, can't you talk about it tomorrow?"
"It's too late!" Lin Hui's face was full of anxiety: "I beg you, just help me this time!"
Knowing each other for so long, Wang Yixue has never seen Lin Hui so eager to ask for help from her.
She has never seen him so anxious and flustered.
Knowing that he had something serious to discuss with her, Wang Yixue's face turned serious: "Tell me what you want me to help you with, and I will help you to the end!"
