Devil's Army

This cold wave lasted for a long time, bringing not only white snow but also the approaching New Year atmosphere.

This year, the Nanjing government did not ban the New Year celebrations, and the people in the base area, whose lives were getting better and better, were busy buying New Year's goods and preparing for the New Year.

In Tieling County and Tiaobinshan County, which serve as model counties, small shops and makeshift stalls are doing quite well.

Leader Miao planned to hold a celebration banquet in the tribe and invited Leng Feng and some key cadres of the First Army to attend.

On New Year's Eve, the tribe was filled with a festive atmosphere. The entire entrance to the tribe was surrounded by bright red ribbons, and two rows of lanterns were hung on both sides of the entrance.

Walking into the gates, there are long strings of firecrackers hanging at the gates of the military camp, the arsenal camp, and the glass factory camp. We haven't been allowed to celebrate the New Year for several years, and now everyone wants to celebrate it all at once.

He Shiqi went to the tribe early in the morning. She went to Bayida's home again and invited her brother Bayida and his grandmother to Tiaobinshan County to celebrate the festival together.

But Grandma Bayida still said the same thing: Just take Bayida there, she is old and doesn't want to move anymore.

He Shiqi's stubborn temper also came up. She sat down on the stool and said, "If you don't leave, I won't leave either. I will celebrate the festival here."

"Son, this won't work. Your parents are waiting for you to celebrate the festival in the county."

"Then Bayida and I will wait for you in the county to celebrate the festival. Will you come with us?"

The old lady had no choice but to live in Tiaobinshan County with He Shiqi.

The old lady and Bayida got on the carriage that had been waiting outside and headed towards Tiaobinshan County.

When we arrived at Mr. He's pharmacy in Tiaobinshan County, Ahua and Dongxue had already arrived.

Ah Hua had met He Shiqi's parents many times, so he was not afraid of strangers and ran in and out of the kitchen to help He's mother.

Dongxue came here for the first time and was a little reserved. She stayed in the kitchen to help. He's mother loved Dongxue very much after hearing what He Shiqi said about her, and asked her about her life.

Dongxue asked and answered each question obediently in the kitchen.

In the afternoon, the gray wolf came over with gifts.

A few days ago, Mr. He invited Gray Wolf to have a dinner party on New Year's Eve. Gray Wolf thought that Mr. He was also a well-known person, so he might invite him and Leng Feng to have a party together.

Later, he learned that Leng Feng and some other comrades in the army were celebrating with the Miao leader and the tribesmen in the tribe. He Lao from the army only invited him to come. It was too late for him to find an excuse to refuse.

When He's mother saw Gray Wolf coming, she happily came to greet him. Seeing Gray Wolf carrying a gift, she scolded him, "Why do you bring a gift when you're just here for a simple meal?"

"I've exposed myself before, and bought it by the way."

He Shiqi heard the noise in the house and ran out. With a blush on her pretty face, she took the gift from the gray wolf and welcomed the gray wolf into the house.

When the gray wolf entered the house, he happened to meet Dongxue and Ahua going out.

Dongxue was stunned for a moment when she saw Gray Wolf, and then she quickly greeted him, "Hello, Deputy Commander!"

Ah Hua winked playfully and called out, "Hello, brother-in-law!", leaving the Gray Wolf at a loss as to what to say.

Fortunately, Mr. He came over and invited Gray Wolf to have tea, which resolved the awkwardness.

"Come on, Xiao Tan, let's go over and have some tea. Let them prepare it and we'll be able to eat soon."

The dinner can be described as sumptuous. Ah Hua, Dong Xue, and Bayida had never eaten such a sumptuous dinner. Ah Hua was not good at anything, but he started to drink a lot from the beginning.

Led by Ahua, Dongxue and Bayida also started to eat happily.

He's mother looked at the children scrambling for food with a satisfied smile on her face. What could be happier than being busy all day and watching the children scramble for food like crazy?

"Ahua, you eat too much. You should give some to your younger sisters and brothers."

"Godmother, look, my sister is scolding me again."

"No, Ah Hua, don't listen to your sister. Eat it if you like. If it's not enough, godmother will make it for you."

"Godmother is still the best!" Ahua made a face at He Shiqi and said.

"It would be nice if my sister was here! We haven't seen our mother yet."

Mother He hugged Dongxue and said with tears in her eyes, "You will be my daughter from now on."

"Why don't you call me godmother?" Ah Hua reminded clearly.

"Auntie," Dongxue blushed for a long time before she uttered these three words.

"Call me mom, not auntie," Ah Hua corrected.

"I, I have never called you mom." Dongxue said aggrievedly.

"It's okay, you can call me aunt or mom, anyway, you three are all my daughters and sons. Shishi, you can't bully your sisters and brothers."

"Mom, I bully them? I'd be lucky if Ah Hua didn't bully me. He always says he'll buy me food, but my monthly allowance is spent for no apparent reason."

"It's all spent, Ahua. If you don't have money, come and ask godmother for it. Godmother has some."

"Godmother is still the best." Ahua stood up, hugged He's mother, and left a deep kiss on her forehead.

The sumptuous dinner ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The children were having a great time setting off fireworks in front of the store. He Shiqi and Gray Wolf stood behind them and said with emotion:

"So the meaning of our existence is to drive away the devils, so that our loved ones and more ordinary people can live a stable life."

Gray Wolf couldn't help but hold He Shiqi's hand and said firmly.

The sharp-eyed Ah Hua saw it and shouted, "Brother-in-law is holding my hand."

Everyone turned to look at Gray Wolf and He Shiqi.

Gray Wolf quickly let go of He Shiqi's hand, and He Shiqi's face turned red with embarrassment.
