I am doing well in the Siheyuan

In the meeting room of the reconnaissance company of a certain unit of the C Army, Zhong Yuemin, the platoon leader, sat on a chair with a lazy smile on his face.

Next to him sat Zhang Haiyang, deputy platoon leader, and Wu Mantun, squad leader of the third squad. Wu Mantun is an important supporting character in the TV series "Blood Romance". He comes from the impoverished Yimeng mountain area. He has a righteous character, excellent physical fitness, and outstanding military talent. When he first joined the army, Wu Mantun's innocence and kindness caused a lot of jokes.

For example, when he introduced himself on the first day of enlistment, he spoke like this:

"Thanks to the government and the party, I can now serve in the army."

"Before I left, my mother told me to kill more Japanese invaders after I joined the army."

...

Wu Mantun’s words almost made the recruits laugh to death.

Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang initially looked down on the simple Wu Mantun and often made fun of him.

But later, through an in-depth conversation, they understood the heavy burden carried by Wu Mantun, who always had a silly smile.

Wu Mantun has several younger brothers and sisters, and his family is extremely poor. The only hope of the whole family lies on him.

Therefore, in order to stay in the army, Wu Mantun made great efforts.

What Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang remember most is what Wu Mantun said to them with tears in his eyes that night.

"Yuemin, Haiyang, you really don't know what it feels like to be poor."

"I am really afraid of poverty. Growing up, I have never had a full meal. Joining the army is like entering heaven. I have food to eat and clothes to wear."

"My whole family depends on me, so I have to stay in the army."

"I am uneducated, but I am strong. I do the work that others are unwilling to do, and I also do the work that others cannot do."

"Even if I die, I want to die in the army."

Wu Mantun's words deeply shocked Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang, and also made them understand why Wu Mantun was so hardworking and willing to work in the company every day like an old ox.

Any man with a sense of justice and righteousness is worth associating with. From that day on, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang changed their views on Wu Mantun and regarded him as a friend.

The topic has gone off track, and the scene returns to the conference room.

"Yuemin, I called Ye Ming yesterday and got some news."

Zhang Haiyang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin, who was bored, heard Zhang Haiyang's words and asked curiously:

"What's the news, Ocean?"

When Wu Mantun heard their conversation, he turned his gaze to Zhang Haiyang, his eyes full of curiosity.

Wu Mantun knew Ye Ming and they had a good relationship.

After all, Ye Ming came to Army C once every month or so. Since Wu Mantun and Zhong Yuemin had a close relationship, he gradually became familiar with Ye Ming.

Zhang Haiyang saw Zhong Yuemin asking questions and saw Wu Mantun's curious eyes, so he cleared his throat and answered:

"Ye Ming is going to marry Xiao Bai and Qiu Ye."

As soon as Zhang Haiyang opened his mouth, Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mantun were stunned...

To be honest, they never expected that the news Zhang Haiyang brought was that Ye Ming was getting married.

Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mantun were surprised not because they didn't expect Ye Ming to get married, but because this happened too suddenly.

After a while, Zhong Yuemin came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh:

"I never thought that Ye Ming would soon marry Xiao Bai and Qiu Ye."

As soon as Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, Wu Mantun took over and said, "I didn't expect Ye Ming to get married so soon."

"I thought Ye Ming wouldn't get married for at least a few years."

At this point, Wu Mantun paused, turned to look at Zhang Haiyang, and continued: "Haiyang, Ye Ming married two wives at once, can they get a marriage certificate?"

Zhang Haiyang heard this and responded, "Of course. Although Ye Ming is a citizen of Dragon Country like us, he is a nobleman from a country in the Philippines."

"With Ye Ming's noble status, it is legal for him to marry five wives."

After hearing this, Wu Mantun asked in surprise: "Oh, Ye Ming actually has such an identity?"

Wu Mantun and Ye Ming have a close relationship, but because Ye Ming is not in Cjunchang, Wu Mantun does not know many things about Ye Ming.

Zhang Haiyang saw Wu Mantun's surprised expression and continued to explain: "Yes, Mantun, you probably didn't expect Ye Ming to have this side, right?"

After listening to Zhang Haiyang's words, Wu Mantun nodded and sighed: "Haiyang, I really didn't expect Ye Ming to have such an identity."

"Ye Ming is really an extraordinary person."

"I am already very satisfied if I can marry a wife in this life. But Ye Ming can marry five at once, it's really incomparable."

After Wu Mantun finished speaking, Zhong Yuemin said, "Mantun, I advise you not to compare yourself with Ye Ming. Comparing yourself with a monster like him will only bring you trouble."

Zhang Haiyang nodded in agreement and said, "Yuemin is right. Ye Ming is a monster. Both his ability and background are beyond ordinary people."

"Comparing myself to him is just asking for trouble."

Wu Mantun heard what Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang said and responded: "Yuemin, Haiyang, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to compare myself with Ye Ming, I just wanted to express my feelings."

"By the way, Haiyang, when is Ye Ming getting married?"

After Wu Mantun finished speaking, Zhong Yuemin also looked at Zhang Haiyang with a questioning look in his eyes.

Zhang Haiyang heard Wu Mantun's words, noticed Zhong Yuemin's look, and replied, "According to Ye Ming, the specific wedding date has not been decided yet."

"However, Ye Ming promised that the wedding will be held before the end of this year."

Wu Mantun listened, nodded, and said, "Oh, so that's it. I now understand."

Then, he turned to Zhong Yuemin and asked, "Yuemin, you have the most ideas among us. What do you think should be the appropriate wedding gift for Ye Ming when he gets married?"

Zhong Yuemin listened and replied: "I really need to think carefully about what wedding gift to choose for Ye Ming."

As soon as Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, Zhang Haiyang suggested: "In my opinion, how about we pool some money and buy Ye Ming a bicycle or a TV?"

Zhong Yuemin heard this and shook his head slightly, saying, "Haiyang, your suggestion won't work. You know how big Ye Ming's family business is."

"Ye Ming's family is wealthy, and they can easily spend a little to buy a TV. If we give a TV as a wedding gift, it will not be noticeable at all."

"Also, our allowance is limited, and a TV or a bicycle costs at least three hundred to four hundred yuan."

"We have to save money for at least half a year to be able to afford it."

“By the time we save enough, things may be out of date.”

After Zhong Yuemin finished speaking, Wu Mantun immediately took over.

"Yuemin is right, Ocean, your proposal won't work."

"Besides, you know that I have to send my allowance back home every month, so I don't have any extra money to buy such an expensive TV for Ye Ming."

Hearing their discussion, Zhang Haiyang responded.

"Sorry, Mantun, I didn't think it through."

Wu Mantun heard this and waved his hand.
