Chapter 166 Who made our family so poor?
Chen Yan and Li Yunlong were sitting cross-legged outside the door, grinning from ear to ear. At this moment, Zhao Gang shouted from a distance:
"Chen'er, Lao Li, what are you two doing?"
"Shh...Quiet!".
The two of them quickly danced and signaled Zhao Gang to keep his voice down, but they still alarmed the two people in the room.
Ding Wei: “…”
Kong Jie: “…”
The two men looked at Chen Yan and Zhao Gang walking out of the door, with embarrassment written all over their faces.
This guy is just making fun of us.
It's so embarrassing.
Zhao Gang continued to shout: "Chen'er, look who I invited back for you."
Chen Yan: “Uh~”
There are still two funny guys who haven't answered correctly yet. Is there another one coming?
It seems that I have really become a young bride waiting to be married, and everyone wants to touch me.
I am now in control of the military factory, even though I have nothing. Does that mean anyone can see me if they want to?
Chen Yan raised his eyes to look at the person coming from behind Zhao Gang, and his pupils immediately contracted.
"Hey, Commander, was it that fragrant breeze that brought you here?"
The man who came was indeed the commander of the 386th Brigade, the leader of Chen Yan's Eighth Route Army.
After Chen Yan said hello, he immediately regretted it.
Damn, it seems like I’m a higher official now, so I don’t need to be so mean anymore.
Then he shook his head. He had respect for the brigade commander from the bottom of his heart.
It's not just because the brigade commander was good to me in the past, but also because he has made great contributions to China and deserves respect.
Perhaps the way I express my respect for the brigade commander is a little bit difficult to express in words.
Chen Yan stepped forward quickly and said, "Commander, if you have any instructions, just send someone to deliver a message.
It would be bad if your feet were tired after running such a long distance, it would make me feel so sad."
The brigade commander looked at Chen Yan like this and his thoughts were in a mess.
"You bastard, you are in a higher position than me, yet you still behave like this, how can you be treated like that?"
"I feel very respectful towards you when I see you. Please come in."
The brigade commander stepped inside with a proud look on his face.
This kid is pretty good, he hasn't forgotten his roots.
As expected, he is the one I trained.
When the brigade commander walked into the reception room, he was stunned when he saw Ding Wei and Kong Jie, who had red faces and thick necks.
"What are you two doing here?"
"Leader, maybe the three of us have the same goal."
The brigade commander said nothing after hearing this.
Chen Yan was a smart man and had guessed the intentions of the three people long ago.
Isn’t it just that you come to me to ask for benefits?
These are all left over from my play.
It means that it is better to strike first and gain the upper hand. If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard.
Especially Ding Wei and Kong Jie, these two snobs, just look at me and call the commander.
If not, it has to be Xiao Chener.
Just now, those two people were in the room making up a lot of stories about their grudges against me. Do I believe them?
Chen Yan and his companions separated the guests into hosts and guests, and there was no trace of displeasure on his face.
"Why are all of you brothers gathered together today? You are all rare guests!"
Ding Wei: "Commander Chen, I came here specially to congratulate you. You are really young and promising!
I think the brigade commander and Lao Kong have the same goal."
Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's all for revolutionary work, it's what I should do."
Kong Jie: “…”
"I'm familiar with this!"
The brigade commander sitting in the main guest seat said nothing. He knew that Chen Yan must be aware of his purpose.
If he retorted and asked for some equipment, Chen Yan would definitely not give him face!
But these two people are probably in trouble. Xiao Chener definitely doesn't want to give...
Thinking of this, the brigade commander glanced at Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
Forget it, I'd better pretend I know nothing.
The father is dead and the mother is remarried. Everyone should take care of themselves. I'd better not cause trouble for Xiao Chen'er.
At this time, Chen Yan said with a smile:
"Then I would like to thank my three brothers. Now that you have come a long way and are just in time for lunch, you can have a drink at my place at noon."
"Okay! Commander Chen has such a great event, and I, Old Kong, would like to share in his joy as well. Let's celebrate it properly together."
As he spoke, Kong Jie shook the two bottles of Lao Baigan on the table.
"I just happened to bring two bottles of good wine to celebrate with Commander Chen."
Ding Wei was not to be outdone, "Okay! We are not strangers. Commander Chen and I hit it off right away, and Lao Li and I are brothers who slept on the same kang, so we are even closer.
I have also prepared a small gift as a token of my respect."
Ding Wei brought quite a few gifts. Chen Yan took a closer look and found that they were all sugar, soap, biscuits and some small items. If they were placed in an ordinary army, they would be good things.
But Chen Yan looked down on it because he had no shortage of these things.
They call me brother all the time, so affectionately.
Whose brothers were brought up by two bottles of liquor?
"Old Zhao, go to the kitchen and make some arrangements so Fatty Wang can prepare two hearty dishes for lunch."
Before Lao Zhao could answer, Lao Li ran out and said casually:
"Old Zhao just came back from the headquarters. Let him rest for a while. I will make arrangements in the kitchen."
Chen Yan sent someone to take the guests to the cafeteria, leaving Zhao Gang to discuss matters alone.
"Old Zhao, how's the matter going?"
Zhao Gang took out a piece of paper and said proudly:
"I didn't give the commander any chance to react. As soon as I arrived at the headquarters, I rushed to the Military Commission Office. Wang Hai signed without saying a word."
"Well done."
"By the way, Old Li just ran out like crazy, why is he so active today?"
"I don't know, maybe it's just a show-off..."
"Come on, let's go to the cafeteria."
As the two were walking, Chen Yan told Zhao Gang the purpose of the visitor today, and asked him to remind Lao Li to be extra careful and never do business that would lose money.
Chen Yan gave the main seat to the brigade commander, and everyone chatted casually. During this time, Li Yunlong was very excited.
Not long after, the kitchen started serving the dishes, and Chen Yan was stunned.
Damn, why is Lao Li so excited today, this prodigal son?
The kitchen brought a banquet with deep-fried pork, assorted hot pot, Dingxiang steamed meat, sweet and sour carp, and astragalus stewed lamb...
They are all famous dishes from Shanxi!
Even though Chen Yan's troops live better than other troops, they dare not eat like this.
Now is the Anti-Japanese War period, food and supplies are in short supply, even Yan Laoxi doesn't dare to eat so lavishly every day!
Chen Yan originally planned to prepare two main dishes and two side dishes. This was the life of a landlord, and he would never treat his guests unfairly.
Who would have thought... that Old Li is such a loser.
Looking at Ding Wei and Kong Jie staring at each other with eyes wide open and looking like they had seen a lot of the world, Li Yunlong felt secretly happy.
In fact, Li Yunlong had never eaten these dishes, so he just wanted to show off to his old comrades.
Even when the kitchen staff asked him what dishes to serve, Lao Li directly said:
"It's fine if it's someone at the team leader level that I haven't seen before."
Fatty Wang was stunned at the time, "We are the commander of the Eighth Route Army... We haven't eaten any good food."
Kong Jie was so excited that he swallowed his saliva and said, "Old Li, your army lives such a wasteful life!"
Li Yunlong stroked his pubic hair and waved his hand:
"Oh! Don't say that. It's our family's condition that is so severe."
