Riverside police

The restaurant is actually a multi-functional hall. Although it does not have such a high-end electronic screen, since the Ship Inspection Bureau often holds meetings and organizes trainings here, a projector is installed.

After Chief of Staff Jiang finished speaking and returned to his seat, Principal Yu immediately winked at the wedding company staff in the corner.

The music sounded, and the singers invited by the wedding company came on stage and sang the familiar "For Whom".

Then, the lights gradually dimmed and the projection screen was slowly lowered from the ceiling.

As the projector came on, the lights in the restaurant were completely turned off, and photos of the Zhang family and his son appeared in front of relatives and friends.

The song "For Whom" was sung on the stage, and almost all the photos were taken during the 1998 flood fight, which was very appropriate for the occasion.

Han Ning had seen these photos before, more than once, but she still wanted to cry when she looked at them again. In the photo, the husband and son were tanned, either lying on the ground with oil stains repairing emergency engineering vehicles, or Dongdong was driving a boat like his grandfather and uncle used to do.

When Dongdong was still very young, it was scary and sad to see a hundreds-ton paddle boat sailing on the turbid river.

There are photos of Dongdong carrying stretchers like monkeys to transport the wounded, photos of Dongdong holding a walkie-talkie to direct forklifts to load and unload sandbags, photos of Dongdong squatting on the ground with officers and soldiers of the 105th, grinning while eating...

The woman’s relatives and friends had only seen the flood fighting on TV news before, but had never seen such photos of the flood fighting and rescue scene. They were all filled with emotion. Suddenly, they felt that it was not an exaggeration to have so many army chiefs attending the wedding. You must know that the father and his son really made a contribution to the country. Contribute too much, even risk your life!

For whom?

My comrade, when will you return?

Who are you and for whom?

My brothers and sisters don’t cry!

Who is the most beautiful? Who is the most tired?

My fellow countrymen, my comrades-in-arms, my brothers and sisters, sisters...

After the photos are played, the video starts playing.

Many lesbians shed tears when they watched the scene in the video of the People's Liberation Army officers and soldiers fighting against the flood regardless of their own safety. Cao Bingqian also cried, hugging Dongdong's arm tightly with tears streaming down her face.

I only knew that fighting floods was dangerous, but I didn't know it would be so dangerous.

I only knew that fighting floods was tiring, but I didn't know it would be so tiring.

"Thank you, thank you singer for your singing."

When the lights came on, Principal Yu returned to the stage, looked around the crowd and said with emotion: "Dear leaders, relatives and friends, because of fighting against the flood, Ai Dong was not able to catch up with the start of school! My students fought against the flood in Beihu, as a principal and as a teacher , I was so worried about Aidong’s safety that I couldn’t sleep at night because he was still a child after all!”

What a good principal, no wonder he can come on stage to host a wedding.

Principal Qian of Teacher Cao’s school was very moved and felt that he should learn from Principal Yu.

"I believe I was not the only one who was worried about Ai Dong at that time. It is worth mentioning that at that time Ai Dong was already a soldier and a glorious reserve soldier. Let us invite Comrade Ai Dong's old leader, Deputy Commander Yang of the East China Sea Guard District Members came on stage to deliver a speech!”

Deputy Commander Yang stood up amidst thunderous applause and walked to the stage. He took over the topic and said with emotion: "Dear elders, relatives and friends, Principal Yu is not joking with you. I am indeed the old leader of the groom, Comrade Zhang Aidong. Comrade Aidong When I was serving in the reserve service, I worked in the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region.

I didn't know him at the time, but I only knew that there was a 16-year-old soldier in the Army Reserve Division of the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region who was fighting floods in the Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River where the flood fighting situation was the most severe. Four years later, in the twelfth lunar month of the twelfth lunar month, on behalf of the Provincial Military Region, I went to Binjiang to express condolences to grassroots officers and soldiers, and finally met Ai Dong. At that time, he had grown into a flight student at the aviation school.

Some relatives and friends may not know much about the reserve force. I can give you a brief introduction. Most of the officers and soldiers in the reserve force are retired soldiers. There are very few officers and soldiers like Comrade Ai Dong who first serve in the reserve force and then serve in active service. They participated in the recruitment and growth of the reserve force. Officers and soldiers who are pilots are not rare, but have never been seen before. It can be said that Aidong is the pride of all reserve forces in the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region! "

Dongdong was so embarrassed by the praise that she didn't dare to look at Deputy Commander Yang, whom she had met once before.

"During that visit, I met the deputy political commissar of Comrade Aidong's old army, who was also the former deputy mayor of Linghai City. He said that the troops were in more danger when facing the last flood peak than the previous ones, and the water level outside the embankment surged. It has overflowed the embankment, which was raised again and again by the participating officers and soldiers, and overflowed into the embankment like a waterfall. There were several pipe outlets in the embankment, and the river water kept pouring into the embankment with sediment! "

Deputy Commander Yang paused, then continued: "With tens of thousands of people behind us, the officers and soldiers participating in the war have no choice but to retreat. They can only risk the possibility that the embankment may breach or even collapse at any time, continue to raise the height of the embankment, and find ways to block the water outside the embankment." At the same time, they waded through the almost waist-deep flood water to build a second line of defense.

Precisely because it was too dangerous, the deputy mayor once gave a death order to the on-site rescue commander, Comrade Ai Dong's uncle, Comrade Han Yu, asking Ai Dong to quickly return to a relatively safe ship. Because Ai Dong was still a child at that time, and he was an only child, his father was also on the rescue. In short, others can be sacrificed, but children cannot be sacrificed!

However, Comrade Han Yu didn't care at all. Ai Dong also didn't care about the orders he received from other cadres. He used the machine repair skills he learned from his father when he was young to risk his life to repair the construction machinery. He just went to help after repairing it. They then transferred the wounded officers and soldiers to the ship and fought until Hong Feng was repelled.

I was very moved at that time. If a comrade like this and such a touching deed could be given at least a second-class merit in the Jiangnan Provincial Military Region. However, Beihu Province is the main battlefield for flood fighting. A large number of flood fighting heroes emerged during the flood fighting and rescue operations, and some officers and soldiers even sacrificed their precious lives. Therefore, he could only be awarded third-class merit at that time. "

Whenever flood fighting and rescue work was mentioned before, my son-in-law always downplayed it.

Hearing what the head of the security area said, Kang Yuemei was moved to tears and felt proud from the bottom of her heart to have such a son-in-law.

Kang Yuehua and his wife were both moved and confused. What they saw made them realize that their nephew and son-in-law's wedding had such a high standard. It did not rely on any connections, or it was not entirely dependent on connections. The success of the family today was entirely due to the father and son's control back then. You risk your life to fight for it!

How can there be any reward without giving?

How can you get ahead if you don’t work hard?

But driving a "Flying Leopard" is too dangerous, so how can I tell others about this?

"At that time, I did not expect to be transferred to Donghai, let alone see Comrade Ai Dong again, and have the honor to attend the wedding of Comrade Ai Dong and Comrade Bingqian. He is the pride of Jiangnan Province and our Donghai. In Therefore, on behalf of the police district, I sincerely wish Comrade Ai Dong and Comrade Bing Qian a long life together! I wish all their relatives and friends good health and all the best!"

Warm applause broke out.

Deputy Commander Yang waited for the applause to subside a little, then turned to look at the bride and groom, then looked at Commander Yu who was still applauding, and raised the microphone again: "Commander Yu, just now, Comrade Cao Gui handed over his daughter to Ai Dong. Now. , I want to hand over Aidong and Bingqian to you in the name of the East China Sea Guard District, because they were sent to our navy by our guard district!"

Commander Yu realized that it was time for him to take the stage. As soon as he stood up, Political Commissar Xue couldn't help but laugh and said, "So what's the point of not having our armed police?"

People sitting at the front tables heard it clearly and couldn't help laughing.

Deputy Commander Yang knew that the relatives and friends behind him did not hear it, and he did not know what the people in front were laughing at. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Dear relatives and friends, Political Commissar Xue of the Armed Police Corps is not very happy. He said that what I just said did not seem to them. What's wrong with the armed police?"

It really has nothing to do with the armed police!

All the guests were amused by the chief and burst into laughter.

Deputy Commander Yang straightened his face and said seriously: "Actually, it has something to do with the armed police. Here I want to assign a task to Ai Dong and Bing Qian. As the saying goes, when you get married and have children, you start a family and start a business. After you get married, you have to have children. , I wish you to have a son soon and send him to be an armed policeman when he grows up, otherwise Political Commissar Xue will be very unhappy. "

Political Commissar Xue stood up and laughed: "Yes, yes, you must have a son early, and the child must become an armed policeman in the future!"

Now is different from before. Not everyone who wants to be a soldier can become a soldier.

However, this obviously does not apply to the groom's family. One look at this posture shows that if the bride and groom give birth to a son and really want to be a soldier in the future, the army, navy, air force and armed police will really be chosen by his family.

The woman’s relatives and friends were very envious and couldn’t help but give her warm applause.

Commander Yu walked to the center of the stage and took the microphone to express his gratitude to both parents on behalf of the People's Navy. As an old navy man, he sincerely hoped that Dongdong and Bingqian would continue their efforts and achieve great success in the naval aviation force. They would not let down their parents and expectations of relatives and friends.

The witnesses have all become hosts, and several generals have taken turns taking the stage to deliver speeches, so the wedding witnessing part is no longer needed.

Principal Yu looked at the time and announced that the banquet was open on behalf of the bride and groom and their parents. Zhang Jiangkun, Han Ning, Cao's father and Cao's mother quickly took the young couple to toast to the leaders...

Kang Yuehua saw that the young couple would probably have to wait for a while before coming over. While entertaining his relatives and friends for drinks and food, he asked calmly: "Han Bureau, are you busy tonight?"

"not busy."

"Commander Yang has plans for the evening, aren't you going to accompany the chief?"

"I'm going to Hong Kong on a business trip tomorrow. I want to rest early tonight. Besides, I have many opportunities to get together with several leaders. I can't drink. It doesn't matter if I am with you or not in the evening."

"Who will accompany me tonight?" Kang Yuehua asked curiously.

Han Yu looked forward and said with a smile: "Ge Ju will definitely go, and it seems that Mr. Zhang will go too."

Although Kang Yuehua had never met Zhang Erxiao before, he was deeply impressed by Zhang Erxiao. He looked at Zhang Erxiao who was toasting the leaders in front and asked in a low voice: "How many leaders does Mr. Zhang know?"

"He is also a reserve officer. He went to Beihu with us to fight the flood. He is very familiar with Chief of Staff Jiang and Political Commissar Xue."

"Very familiar?"

"He was in charge of logistics support back then. Chief of Staff Jiang and Political Commissar Xue's old army's logistics support was not as good as ours. They often went to our temporary camp to eat and drink, and they went there with a large group of subordinates. You said Can they not be familiar with each other?"

"I see." Kang Yuehua envied the young boss in front of him for being able to make friends with the two generals. He hesitated and said, "Director Han, can you please have a meal with me tonight? I have something to report to you."

"Report to me, are you kidding!"

"Han Bureau, I'm really not kidding."

"Okay, let's get together tonight."
