Power and Wealth - 907. Chapter 909【New Year's Eve!
Two days later.
In the afternoon, aboard the warship.
Dong Xuebin in the cabin could vaguely hear the wind roaring outside. Seeing that his daughter was a little scared, Dong Xuebin quickly hugged Qianqian and walked out of the room.
The ship was full of joy.
The soldiers were busy, some with happy characters and some preparing dinner.
Dong Xuebin was taken aback for a moment, and stopped him and said, “My buddy, what are you doing?”
“What are you doing?” The soldier looked at him, “Today is the Thirtieth New Year.”
“Yo!” Dong Xuebin patted his forehead, “I have forgotten the date after spending a few days at sea, isn’t it.”
It’s the Chinese New Year. Looking at his own mind and looking at the festive atmosphere around, Dong Xuebin’s mood has also increased. Although there is no mother and Huilan Yunxuan around this year, his daughter is with him, and Dong Xuebin is also with him. I didn’t feel lonely, so I put Xiao Qianqian on her shoulders and let her sit on her shoulders, and then Dong Xuebin walked around the warship quickly while supporting her. Xiao Qianqian seemed to like heights very much, and looked down. , She danced with joy and giggled from ear to ear.
“Hehe, so happy?”
“Yeah! Yeah!”
“You also know about the New Year? We, Xiao Qianqian, are also one year older, so we won’t cry anymore.”
“Eh! Eh! Yeah!”
After a while, the female soldier found Dong Xuebin yesterday and invited him to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with everyone on the boat to celebrate the New Year. Dong Xuebin happily agreed.
……evening.
The warship restaurant.
When Dong Xuebin came in, he saw three or four tables inside. A lot of soldiers came and the dishes were ready. Although the dishes were a little light, the space in the cabin restaurant was not very large, but when the lanterns were hung, he was happy. After the word is posted, the overall atmosphere still rippling with a sense of the year.
Dong Xuebin greeted everyone immediately, “Happy New Year.”
Several soldiers also said: “Happy New Year.”
Dong Xuebin took up his daughter’s little fleshy hand and waved to everyone, “Little guy, happy New Year to uncles and aunts, I wish them good health and family happiness.”
Xiaoqianqian chuckled and yelled, as if he was actually paying a New Year’s greetings.
The soldiers were all amused, “The baby is very cute.”
“Baby, you have a good Chinese New Year.” Several people came up to greet Qianqian and shake hands.
Dong Xuebin is quite proud, his daughter is welcome everywhere.
At this time, the colonel and several military officers also arrived one by one, and walked into the small restaurant to give everyone a New Year greeting.
At the end, the colonel turned his head and looked at Dong Xuebin with a smile, “Xiao Dong, the conditions here are limited, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is at this level, and I don’t know if you are used to eating or not.”
Dong Xuebin hurriedly said: “It’s good, I’m hungry by smelling it.”
The colonel smiled and said, “That’s good, come on, let’s go to the table.”
The three hostages who were kidnapped from the smuggling ship have also arrived. Because they are unidentified and engaged in illegal activities, they have been under control since the warship. It is impossible to wander around like Dong Xuebin, but today It was New Year’s Eve, and several officers were also very surnamed, and they called everyone over for the New Year’s Eve dinner. As for the cargo ship Niu Dazhao, which was returning to China with the warship, it was just behind, so their people didn’t come over either, so they should be eating there.
dinner’s ready.
The colonel immediately invited Dong Xuebin to sit at a table with some of their officers.
When Dong Xuebin saw that there were a lot of people at their table, he didn’t feel embarrassed to go there. He politely refused, and casually squeezed the table with the soldiers next to him.
Seeing that the captain was so polite to Dong Xuebin, he was courteous and gave up his seat, many people were a little puzzled, especially a few officers. Look at me and I look at you, but I don’t understand what happened to the colonel, only that. The female soldier who is pouring them drinks knows, but the above-mentioned chiefs have already explained it. Of course, she can’t say it. There is still a big difference between the military and the political world. Obeying orders is especially important in the military.
“Huh.” Dong Xuebin looked around, “No alcohol? Do you all drink drinks?”
The three previous hostages also had a itchy throat, but they didn’t dare to ask for anything.
A soldier looked at him, “We are still on the mission and cannot drink alcohol.”
Dong Xuebin smacked his lips and said, “Isn’t the task completed? How can there be no wine for the Chinese New Year? There is no banquet without wine.” After so many days of nervousness, Dong Xuebin really wanted to drink a little.
The colonel heard this, and groaned, and immediately greeted the female soldier.
The female soldier nodded and went out. When she came back, she really took a bottle of Moutai in her hand and placed it in front of Dong Xuebin.
The colonel smiled and said, “Xiao Dong, we won’t drink it. This bottle is yours.”
“Good wine.” Dong Xuebin clasped his fist and said, “Thank you then.”
The colonel slowly stood up and said to the soldiers underneath: “Let me say a few words first…”
Before the dinner, the leader’s speech seemed to be a common practice everywhere. The colonel first highly affirmed the soldiers’ performance in this mission, and then conveyed the compliments of the superiors. Finally, the colonel also gave Dong Xuebin’s appreciation to Dong Xuebin in the process of rescuing the hostages. Thank you for your help.
Everyone applauded, the applause was loud, but not messy at all.
The colonel then gave everyone a New Year’s greeting, and then took the lead to drink with a toast.
After drinking a glass, Dong Xuebin filled himself with wine, then raised his child and stood up, “Captain, what should I say?”
The colonel nodded slightly.
Several officers looked at him and asked what else do you say?
The bottom suddenly became quiet, and these soldiers had never diminished their curiosity about Dong Xuebin, and wanted to hear what he said.
Dong Xuebin is also used to being a leader. He cleared his throat first, then scanned the following circle and said, “Today is the 30th year of the year. It should be the day when comrades reunite with their families, but for my children. For the people of our republic, everyone gave up the opportunity to reunite with their relatives. They sailed for a long distance to the seas of Fuzhou, risking their lives to save the hostages. As a father, I want to thank you all. As a citizen, I too On behalf of the people of the Republic, thank you all. This is the most meaningful Spring Festival I have, because I was fortunate to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with the soldiers who guarded our motherland. Here I would like to say a word on behalf of all the people of the Republic, although everyone’s relatives I may not be around to accompany you to celebrate the New Year, but I, but we are all your relatives, you have worked hard, I would like to toast you a cup and wish our soldiers and family members peace of life!”
Dong Xuebin swallowed it up and aired the bottom of the cup.
The colonel immediately took the lead in applauding, and other soldiers also applauded.
The officers glanced at Dong Xuebin unexpectedly, and they said it was pretty good. If there is a cameraman next to him, this section can be on TV. It’s like typing out the speech in advance. There is no lack of true feelings in the fake sky. It is hard for a family member to take a bite. This is not something that ordinary civil servants of the Commission for Discipline Inspection can say.
This person is not an official, is he?
A cadre of the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Associate department?
Many people have this idea in their hearts.
“Okay! Let’s start the show!” An officer clapped his hands.
Hearing that, Dong Xuebin, who was eating vegetables, raised his head suspiciously. What kind of performance?
I saw two people suddenly walked in outside the restaurant, dressed a little bit differently, they turned out to be singing a duo.
Dong Xuebin realized that there were programs. They couldn’t watch the Spring Festival Gala here. The soldiers could not drink, let alone toast the leaders like people in officialdom. How boring, that’s why this Spring Festival show is there, right?
Dong Xuebin also looked enthusiastically, pouting the greens while watching, and finally spit it out in his hand, reaching out to feed Xiao Qianqian.
Qianqian chuckled, ate very fragrant.
Dong Xuebin happily said, “You are good to feed, and you can eat everything.”
Qianqian has finished eating, yeah, go to catch dad, and more.
Dong Xuebin didn’t care about eating it himself, took a sip of wine, and then fed the little guy.
Nearly half of the show, later it was basically singing, and most of them were military songs. Dong Xuebin’s bottle of Moutai was killed by him for a little while, and his head was a little dizzy. He didn’t want to have a drink today, but really wanted to drink some wine, so he didn’t sneak in any way. He was only dizzy at this amount of alcohol, which is already very good.
The two soldiers next to him looked at Dong Xuebin, and after looking at each other, they both went to toast him.
“Come on, let’s have a toast.”
“Xuebin, I respect you.”
The two seemed to have a purpose.
“Okay!” Dong Xuebin happily clinked a glass with them and drank it.
One of the fighters asked, “Xuebin, how did you practice your marksmanship?”
Dong Xuebin said in a daze: “Marksmanship? I haven’t practiced it.”
Another soldier said: “Impossible, I think your accuracy must be professionally trained.”
Although Dong Xuebin had drunk it, he was not unconscious, and said, “What did I train? You are fighting blindly. By the way, what kind of soldiers are you two?”
The soldier said: “We are snipers.”
Dong Xuebin slapped the table suddenly, “Hey, it turns out that you two are the two stinky gun baskets on the ship!”
Smelly gun basket? ?
When the two heard this, they almost fainted!
When the soldiers around heard it, they almost laughed.
Dong Xuebin patted them on the shoulders and said, “It’s not that I said you, what kind of marksmanship do you have? So close you can’t even shoot individuals? Is this a sniper?”
The two snipers were suffocated, their heads twisted, and they didn’t say anything at all while eating their food. The two of them were embarrassed, but they also had to admit that Dong Xuebin’s marksmanship was indeed much better than theirs. This is obvious to all, and it is not acceptable to not admire them.
Another soldier said curiously: “By the way, are you really a civil servant of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?”
This is a problem that everyone is very concerned about, and many people have seen it.
After drinking, Dong Xuebin uttered the truth: “Yes, the director of the Supervision Department of the Discipline Inspection Commission of our city.”
The soldier was stunned, “Prefecture-level city?”
“Um.”
“Director?”
“Yes.”
Everyone looked at each other and saw the consternation in each other’s eyes.
Even the colonel and several officers who were eating there were slightly startled.
