"Don’t pause in pursuit, for at the end of the plain are the spring mountains."
The big leader had told him this a long ti ago.
In the sumr of 2013, twenty-three-year-old Fang Huai’s two bars and a star on his shoulder shone brightly under the lights, and the ribbon on his military dress uniform also reflected the solemnity of the day.
A twenty-three-year-old Lieutenant Colonel was both an encouragent to a ritorious officer and a precious asset to the modern Troops.
"Not bad, huh?" Fang Huai lifted the corners of his mouth in front of the mirror, looking at his bride for today in her white silk satin gown.
"Hmph~" Yang Shaoqing, with her hands behind her back, had a touch of smugness on her face, "Not bad, huh!"
"Not bad my ass! You’re far from matching up to your aunt!" Chen Shuang, dressed in a black suit, sat on the stool next to him with a frown.
Fang Huai’s lips twitched: "Shuang’s son, who are you talking to? Get your role straight, today you are the best man!"
Chen Shuang imdiately stood up.
"This is my own little sister!"
Fang Huai glanced at him: "Alright, alright! Then you go be the bridesmaid! I won’t miss you one bit! Look at my Sa-Year Soldier Best Man Group! You’re the only one from the Internal Guard! If it weren’t for Yang Shaoqing, I wouldn’t even bother hanging out with you!"
"Pfft..." Yang Shaoqing’s university roommate bridesmaids all started laughing, and Sun Ya even waved her hand, saying, "Co on over! We still have a dress here for you!"
Chen Shuang’s face turned even darker.
"What’s wrong with the Internal Guard? I have guns! You little punk! When I graduate from Military Academy and get married, I will wear a military uniform too!"
Fang Huai chuckled, "You getting married? You’ve barely got a glimr of hope for marriage, and you’re thinking about it? Where’s your potential partner? It’s not easy to get a winter break! I’d advise you to take the opportunity to see if there’s a match for you in this room today!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the most vivacious Sun Ya by Yang Shaoqing’s side.
Chen Shuang and Sun Ya’s faces flushed at once, and everyone in the wedding prep room burst into laughter.
At that mont, a young man with fair skin and distinguished grace, also dressed in a best man’s black suit, ca over with a cell phone.
"Captain Fang! Deputy Commander Jin’s text ssage, do you want to see it?"
As soon as Han Yong spoke, the chatter in the room quieted down.
Tsk, tsk.
A General!
Fang Huai seed so young, yet he had more prestige than his rchant parents, and more Leadership sending their blessings.
Since this morning, he had been receiving continuous calls from important figures, sending flower baskets with congratulations! From the military to the local areas, they were all there!
And this best man who had specially co from Hunan had quite a presence too, arriving in a Rolls Royce with a driver and a secretary!
In front of Fang Huai, however, he was just like a waiter.
Nowadays, General Han, having been discharged for over two years, had acquired a dignified aura in civilian life, but his hairstyle was still identical to Fang Huai’s: cropped short, prickly to the touch.
Today, in addition to being a best man, he was also acting as Fang Huai’s cell phone keeper.
When Fang Huai was busy, he could take calls from comrades and help out with a few responses, and so of the Leadership calling to give their blessings to Fang Huai today were enough to make any ordinary person nervous.
Standing next to him was Song Lin, who had grown out a braided goatee.
This guy had returned ho to work as a street dance coach.
All three best n were sa year soldiers.
Fang Huai thought for a mont and raised his hand: "A text ssage? No phone call? Bring it here, let’s see if Old Jin has any words for ."
After taking the cell phone, he entered the password to unlock it, and a long text ssage ca into view.
"Kid, I’m on combat readiness today, can’t make it! I know you’re busy, so I’ll use a line of poetry to send my blessings and warnings to you and Little Yang:
Married as husband and wife, love and trust without doubt!
I’ll have soone bring the red envelope! Also: I was talking to the military district Leadership recently, and they really appreciate your strategic mind. Think carefully about the transfer! Didn’t you say you only wanted to serve on the front lines? The front lines here are much broader, and we welco you!"
Fang Huai stared at the cell phone for a while and then suddenly shook his head with a smile, replying with a ssage:
"Blessings received, will keep them close to my heart! Yet firefighting reform is a significant matter. I will be moving to the Ministry to seek future developnt for firefighting. As for considering the transfer, please give two years."
After replying to the text ssage.
Sun Ya, seeing the smile on Fang Huai’s face, suddenly sensed an opportunity to tease back and pulled Yang Shaoqing, shouting loudly:
"Yah! Shaoqing! Look at him, smiling so happily after replying to a text ssage! He wasn’t even this happy marrying you!"
Fang Huai gave Sun Ya a sowhat speechless glance and casually handed the cell phone over to Yang Shaoqing.
"Our love is stronger than gold; don’t try to sow discord! Wife, take a look, the blessings Old Jin has sent us."
Yang Shaoqing couldn’t help but look at the text ssage, then froze slightly.
"You’re going to... the People’s Liberation Army!"
This statent shocked Chen Shuang: "Damn, Fang Huai, you’re picking up a gun too??"
There goes my only source of pride!
But Fang Huai ignored him and smiled at Yang Shaoqing, "What, regretting it now?"
Yang Shaoqing puffed up her cheeks and replied with her hands behind her back, "Humph, not at all! Going to firefighting is my dream! It was so hard to even persuade Mother Zhang!"
Fang Huai then reached out a hand and gently touched Yang Shaoqing’s pinned-up hair.
"Don’t worry, wherever I am, you’ll be there too."
Yang Shaoqing’s cheeks flushed, "Yah! It took hours to do! You’ll ss it up!"
"Ew~ Goosebumps!!" Sun Ya shuddered, rubbing her arms.
Yang Shaoqing’s roommates also exaggeratedly put on a performance.
"Oh, don’t worry, darling! Wherever I am~ you’ll be there too~"
Laughter filled the room.
...
At 6 o’clock in the afternoon, many distinguished guests filled the seats.
"Mountains know , rivers know , ’The Motherland Will Not Forget,’ will not forget ..."
The music in the hall played one military song after another.
Although the wedding was in Chongqing, the enthusiasm from the guests could not be quelled.
At the entrance, rows of flower baskets from various units highlighted the extraordinary nature of the newlyweds.
