Chapter 528: At the Banquet(1/2)
Everyone has arrived.
Cai Xuefei, Wu Jingyi, Yamashita Yuri Ai, Yuan Zhonghe, Zhao Changle, Guo Rui.
And Meng Shaoyuan's very important partner Hawes.
People like Song Deng and Sun Jian have too little qualifications and are not yet qualified to come.
It's actually good to have a butler.
Arau has prepared everything.
The meal was authentic Chinese food.
"Alao." Meng Shaoyuan said in a special way: "The dishes are all served at once. You and the servants also start to eat. It's lively. Today is the most important day in China. Even though you are not Chinese, you are also welcome."
Happy, happy."
Butler Qiu, who was standing there ready to serve, snorted coldly.
What does a foreigner know about Chinese New Year's Eve?
"Steward Qiu." Unexpectedly, Cai Xuefei also said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go have a drink together."
"Okay, ma'am."
Although he was not too happy, Butler Qiu still answered respectfully.
"It's done, everyone." Meng Shaoyuan raised his cup: "I had prepared a toast, but when I picked up this cup, I didn't know what to say. I wish everyone all the best in the new year.
There’s nothing to worry about anymore!”
Several people took a sip.
This was Wu Jingyi's first time celebrating the New Year at someone else's house. She was not very familiar with Cai Xuefei and Yamashita Yuri Ai, and Yuan Zhong and these people were all her subordinates in theory.
It feels a little weird.
"Ms. Wu, please eat, please don't be polite." Yamashita Yuri Ai is very much like the hostess of this family: "Everyone, I want to say a few words... My motherland brought war to China. I
I can't do anything, I can only watch this happen, I'm sorry, we are guilty, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, she stood up and bowed deeply.
"Teacher Yamashita, sit down." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "Japan launched a war, but it has nothing to do with you. In any country, there are always good people and bad people. I am always fighting the Japanese in all kinds of ways.
He's a different kind of agent, but I also know a lot of kind-hearted Japanese people."
At this moment, a Japanese girl suddenly appeared in her mind:
Really cool!
…
"Shen Naiko, come, let's celebrate the Chinese New Year together."
When he got home, Matsumoto Nitsugi was no longer the colonel, but truly became a father.
Several dishes were prepared, all of which were Chinese dishes that Makoto loved.
This was the second time since Naiko came back from Nanjing to see her father.
My father didn't say a word of reproach.
She also felt that it was not good to deceive her father like this, but for the sake of her beloved Lord Shao Yuan, she had to endure all this.
"Father, thank you for your hard work." Zhen Naiko raised the small wine cup: "Today, I will accompany you to have a good drink."
"Okay, okay." Matsumoto Nitsugi looked very happy: "With Shinoko here, daddy will feel happy no matter how hard he works."
"Father, I miss grandpa..."
When Makoto said these words, the atmosphere quickly solidified.
Makoto's eyes were a little red: "Father, I don't understand why there must be a war? Originally, my grandfather and I lived very happily in the concession, but the war broke out, my grandfather was gone, and many people died.
Man. This time I went to Nanjing and saw with my own eyes corpses everywhere..."
"Manako, don't say that." Matsumoto Hitsugu interrupted her hastily: "The imperial army pays special attention to military discipline in Nanjing. Qiu has done nothing wrong and has been welcomed by the Chinese. How is it possible that there are corpses everywhere?"
"Father, why are you lying?" Shinoko looked sad: "I saw it all, no one told me anything, and no one did any propaganda. I know that war always kills people, but death
They should be soldiers, not ordinary people."
"That's enough, Makoto."
Matsumoto Nitsugi became stern: "Don't say these words outside. It will have a very bad impact. It will also have an impact on dad's future..."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
The servant went to open the door, and after a while he came in and said, "There is Mr. Koichi Hahara from Nanjing who wants to see you."
Koichi Hahara?
Makoto's expression changed.
"Habara Koichi?"
Matsumoto Hitsugu frowned: "Ah, is he the officer who sent you back last time?"
…
"This glass of wine is for Xiang Shounong and Tan Xinyi..." Meng Shaoyuan raised the glass again: "To all the brothers who sacrificed their lives!"
He spilled the wine on the ground.
Yuan Zhonghe sighed deeply: "Last year, in Nanjing, so many brothers were at the boss's house. But it's only been a year..."
"In war, people will always die." Meng Shaoyuan said silently: "Some brothers left early, and some brothers will follow soon, maybe including me. If one day..."
"Those who are celebrating the New Year, don't say depressing words." Cai Xuefei whispered: "In my eyes, you are all great heroes and great heroes. Great heroes and great heroes will not die. You will live well and live until Japan.
The day when people are beaten away. Come, I respect all of you!"
The drink was white wine.
In the past, Cai Xuefei never drank liquor, but this time, she drank all the wine in one go. She drank a little too fast and her face turned red.
Wu Jingyi said calmly: "After the Japanese are beaten away, I will take my husband and children back. If possible, I would like to apply for another job from the superiors, so that I can have more time to take care of my husband and children."
child."
Like Meng Shaoyuan, Wu Jingyi is gradually becoming a legend.
Although not many people outside know her real name and identity, they only know that there is a great "Assistant Wu" beside Meng Shaoyuan.
But she didn't want to at all.
She just wants to be an ordinary housewife.
Every day, I can accompany my husband and children without having to think about plans or rape.
She is just a woman.
"Hey, this is... Chinese New Year, right?"
Hawes said: "I know this is a traditional Chinese festival, just like our Thanksgiving and Christmas, you should be happy. Look, Meng, I brought you a gift, maybe it will make you happy
of."
As he spoke, he took out a suitcase he had brought with him when he came in...
…
Tian Qi poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
It's New Year's Eve.
Meng Shaoyuan and the others are celebrating the New Year lively in Shanghai right now, right?
I am alone in Nanjing, alone.
Tian Qi suddenly felt a little lonely.
In the past, he had been lurking in Wuxi for a long time. He was used to being alone and didn't feel anything.
But when you have comrades and friends around you, you will gradually get used to being with them.
Now, all that I just gained is gone.
He must fight alone.
Listening to Meng Shao's original words, it seems that the war of resistance will continue for a long time, but what about you? Will you always lurk in the heart of the enemy?
Tian Qi doesn't know, and he doesn't want to stay like this.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of two women.
One is Hua'er, the other is Lin Xuan...
…
There was a suitcase full of money, all of which were Japanese yen and military stamps.
"Where did so many yen come from? What is this?" Yuan Zhonghe was a little curious. He picked up a few military tickets and asked.
To be continued...
