Chapter 258 Farewell Banquet
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for Jiang Zeyuan to change his career.
Jiang Zeyuan was wearing a neat military uniform with medals hanging all over his chest, and he looked particularly energetic.
Standing on the military playground, I was surrounded by comrades who came to see me off.
Leaders at all levels, including Zhou Lu, came to the scene.
They looked at Jiang Zeyuan with reluctance and respect.
Jiang Zeyuan's eyes swept across these familiar faces one by one, feeling filled with emotion.
"Captain Jiang, we really don't want you to leave."
"I am reluctant to leave you all, but I must obey the organization's arrangements. Let's work hard in the future and bring honor to the army."
"Captain Jiang, you have always been our role model. We will learn from you."
......
Brigade Zhou patted Jiang Zeyuan on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Jiang, you have performed very well in the army. You must continue to carry forward the fine style of the soldiers after returning to Beijing."
Jiang Zeyuan nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, I will never forget that I was once a soldier."
After the demobilization ceremony, Jiang Zeyuan invited the battalion commander, company commander, and comrades including Brigade Commander Zhou to his home for a gathering.
Everyone agreed happily and went to Jiang Zeyuan's home together.
In the kitchen, Jian Yue was wearing an apron and concentrating on preparing dishes.
The ingredients are neatly arranged on the stove.
First up is the braised pork.
Cut the fat and lean pork belly into even cubes.
Blanch the fish, remove blood and impurities, and remove from the water.
Pour oil into the pot, add rock sugar...cover the pot and simmer over low heat.
Next came the braised spare ribs, stir-fried pork, salt and pepper prawns, stir-fried clams, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, three fresh vegetables, cold mixed shredded vegetables, and choy sum in soup.
In the living room, Ye Qingqing was playing with Qianyu, Yaoyao, Xiaoyi and Zheng Siting.
Four children laughing and playing~
Jiang Wenwen helped in the kitchen, washing and cutting vegetables.
"Xiao Yue, your cooking skills are truly the best in our compound!" Jiang Wenwen exclaimed.
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Sister Wenwen, you are exaggerating! It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so of course we have to prepare well."
After a busy period, delicious dishes were finally served.
Two tables of sumptuous dishes are mouth-watering.
Everyone came to their residence one after another.
When everyone walked into the house and saw the table full of delicious food, they were all amazed.
"Comrade Jian Yue, you are amazing. You prepared so many delicious foods."
"Yes, I smelled the fragrance at the door."
......
Jian Yue's face turned red due to this wave of praise.
Jiang Zeyuan greeted with a smile, "Everyone should relax today and talk about the past days together."
Everyone sat around the table, eating delicious food and reminiscing about their time in the army.
The days when we trained and carried out missions together seemed to come back to my mind.
"Remember the flood relief work? We fought together for several days."
"Yes, although it was hard at that time, everyone was very motivated."
......
Jiang Zeyuan felt a little emotional as he looked at these comrades who had once gone through life and death together with him.
Stand up and raise your glass.
"Dear brothers and sisters, thank you all for coming to our farewell party today. I have been in the army for these years, thanks to everyone's care and support. We are about to leave here and start a new life in Beijing, but I will never forget the days in South Island."
After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.
Everyone raised their glasses, and the atmosphere was both warm and a little sad.
"Brother Jiang, don't forget us when you go to Beijing."
Jiang Zeyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget you. If you have the chance to come to Beijing in the future, you must come to see me."
Jian Yue also stood up and picked up the wine glass.
"Thank you all for your concern and help for our family over the years. I hope everyone can get better and better."
Everyone responded, and words of blessing echoed in the air.
Ye Qingqing walked quickly to Jian Yue, hugged her tightly and choked up, "Xiao Yue, I really don't want you to leave."
Jian Yue's eyes also turned red, and she gently patted Ye Qingqing's back.
"Qingqing, we can't bear to leave you either. We will definitely meet again in the future."
Lin Shuhuan followed Ye Qingqing in, and seeing Ye Qingqing crying, he hurried over to comfort her.
"Qingqing, don't cry. We should be happy for them. Besides, we will probably be able to go back to Jing City soon."
Ye wiped her tears gently and looked at Lin Shuhuan. "Really? Can we really go back to Jing City soon?"
Lin Shuhuan looked at her gently and nodded.
"Well, believe me, we will definitely go back."
When everyone arrived, they sat around two large tables.
At the banquet, everyone was chatting while eating delicious dishes.
Although Ye Qingqing's mood had improved a little, her eyes still turned red from time to time.
Lin Shuhuan stayed by her side, comforting her and picking food for her.
"Qingqing, don't be sad. We must also work hard to return to Beijing as soon as possible, so that we can be with Jian Yue and the others again."
Ye nodded gently, "Yeah, I know. But I feel sad when I think about them leaving."
The children were playing nearby, seemingly unaware of the impending separation.
The banquet lasted for a long time, and everyone enjoyed this last moment of reunion.
When night fell, everyone said goodbye reluctantly.
Jiang Zeyuan and Jian Yue stood at the door, watching their friends leave.
Watching their friends gradually walk away, both of them felt a little depressed.
Back in the house, Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan began to clean up the mess, although they felt a little heavy-hearted.
In the following days, they were even busier preparing for their departure.
They packed their luggage and went through various formalities.
The two children seemed to have sensed the changes in the family and became exceptionally well-behaved.
Yaoyao would use her little hands to pull the corner of Jian Yue's clothes.
Jian Yue picked up Yaoyao and kissed her little face.
"Yaoyao, we are going to a new place. There will be many fun things there."
Yaoyao looked at her mother as if she understood something, with a faint smile on her little face.
When Brother Xiaoyi saw his mother holding his sister, he also crawled over and pulled Jian Yue's trouser leg.
Jian Yue smiled and picked up Brother Xiaoyi as well, holding a baby in each hand.
Jiang Zeyuan walked over and gently touched the two children's heads.
"We are going back to our hometown to start a new life together. My dears, please be good."
Yaoyao stretched out her little hand, touched Jiang Zeyuan's face, and made a "baby-baby" sound.
Brother Xiaoyi twisted his body in Jian Yue's arms, looking around excitedly.
The family sat together, and Jian Yue told stories to the children.
Jiang Zeyuan watched quietly from the side, interjecting a few words from time to time, making the children laugh.
At night, after the children have gone to bed.
Jian Yue leaned against the head of the bed, a trace of fatigue on her face.
Jiang Zeyuan walked over and hugged her, "Wife, you've worked hard today!"
After saying that, he gently pulled her hand and let her lie flat on the bed.
She skillfully massaged Jian Yue, from her shoulders to her arms, then to her waist and legs.
Jiang Zeyuan's technique was gentle but powerful. "You have been busy all this time and have given so much to this family."
"Just watch it!"
The massage lasted for a while, and Jian Yue's body gradually relaxed.
