Afterwards, He Daqing was busy preparing dinner, He Yuzhu helped him, and He Yushui was held in He Daming's arms.

He Daming looked at the happy family of three, but he couldn't feel happy at all in his heart, because this year his carefree eldest brother would abandon his children and go to Baoding to find the White Widow.

Thinking of this, He Daming shook his head, thinking that he, as the eldest brother, was good in every way except that he was too damn bad and could not control his "little brother". He actually did such a thing for a mere woman. This kind of behavior would be quite explosive even in later generations.

He felt that since he was here and came back alive from the battlefield, he had an obligation to change the outcome. He couldn't let history repeat itself.

............……

As He Daqing announced that it was time to eat, they sat around the octagonal table and started eating together.

He Daqing prepared a very rich dinner, including a whole roast chicken, a pot of braised pork, a bowl of fried eggs with leeks, a plate of spicy cabbage, a smashed cucumber, and even a bottle of Erguotou, which is unique to 49 cities.

Faced with such a sumptuous dinner, He Daming couldn't help but feel a little hungry. Even though he was a regiment commander in the army, the food in the army was not necessarily better than those of the soldiers. Basically, the food was the same. After all, the three points of attention and the eight disciplines were no joke.

He Daqing quickly picked up a chicken leg and put it into He Daming's bowl.

"Daming, eat more..."

Seeing this, He Daming waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother, don't be so polite, that's enough.

I can clamp it myself, you clamp more for the rain and the pillars."

He Daqing heard this, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Daming, this is different, this is the first time in five years that we two brothers have sat together to eat.

Those two little bastards can eat it every day. Anyway, I am a chef at Hongbinlou, so I don’t have to worry about food.”

He Daming also agreed with what He Daqing said. Indeed, in this era, being a leader or a chef would definitely not make you go hungry.

Then He Daqing opened the Erguotou and poured a full bowl for He Daming.

Seeing this, He Daming waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother, the army has rules and prohibits drinking."

He Daqing heard this and tried his best to persuade him, "Daming, we are in our own home now, and there are outsiders present. If you and I don't say anything, no one will know. It's okay to drink a little."

Seeing he couldn't refuse, He Daming picked up the bowl and drank it in big gulps. After taking a sip, he almost spit it out. This Erguotou was really spicy for his throat. After all, he was Linjiang, who was the worst at drinking in his later life. But in order not to spoil his elder brother's mood, he still drank it.

After three rounds of drinks, He Yushui and He Yuzhu were full and went to the inner room to rest.

At the dinner table, the two brothers of the He family were still chatting about family matters.

He Daming was the first to speak.

"Brother, Zhuzi is already quite old now, do you have any plans?"

When He Daqing saw He Daming asking about the development prospects of his son He Yuzhu, he immediately said,

"Daming, to be honest, I have arranged for Shazhu to be an apprentice at Hongbinlou. I passed on all the Tan family dishes to him last year. When the time comes, I will let him inherit my legacy and do my old business."

He Daming had a different opinion when he heard He Daqing's arrangement.

"Brother, I don't have any big objection to you letting Zhuzi be the cook. The profession of cook is indeed quite good in this era when everything is in need of reconstruction.

But I think it would be a shame for a 5-foot-tall man like him not to join the army. Are you interested in letting him follow me? I will take him to the army and train him for a few years."

When He Daqing heard what He Daming said, he immediately declined.

"Daming, I'm not your brother saying anything bad about you, but what future does being a soldier have? When you wanted to join the army, our mother was strongly against it. Later, when she passed away, you didn't even come back.

Besides, I see you have fought for five years but have not achieved anything. You are still just a soldier."

Facing He Daqing's questioning, He Daming immediately revealed his true identity.

"Brother, I don't like what you said, I'm not a big soldier.

I am now the commander of the 120th Regiment of the 358th Division of the rd Column of the Fourth Field Army, and I am at least a mid-level cadre. "

When He Daqing heard what He Daming said, he looked at him in shock.

"Daming, you are kidding me, your brother. I didn't realize you are the head of the regiment. I thought you were still a soldier. It turns out that everyone in our He family is capable."

Immediately He Daqing burst into laughter.

"Hahaha............."

Then he changed the topic,

"Daming, if you are an officer now, then I really have to change my mind. It's not impossible to let Shazhu go to join the army with you, but you have to agree to one request of mine."

When He Daming heard what his elder brother He Daqing said, he knew that there was a chance for a turnaround, and he immediately asked back: "Brother, if you have any requests, just let me know. Don't mention just one, even if it's three requests, I will agree to it."

After getting He Daming's approval, He Daqing immediately expressed his requirements and ideas.

"Da Ming, actually my request is very simple. I just hope you can ensure that Sha Zhu can make a name for himself in the army. Also, I hope he can come back safely."

When He Daming saw this, he immediately patted his chest and agreed.

"Brother, don't worry, as long as I am in the army, I will take care of him and support him, although I can't guarantee that he will become an officer of my level in the future.

But at least the company level shouldn't be a big problem. Also, I promise you here that I will keep him safe, don't worry."

After hearing He Daming's assurance, He Daqing nodded with relief.

In fact, the biggest reason why he let his son He Yuzhu follow his brother to join the army was that he felt that they were now entering a new society.

The whole country has been almost liberated, and there is no need for fighting and killing anymore. It is not bad to join the army. At least you can have enough food and warm clothes. Of course, the most important thing is that my son's personality really needs to be tempered in the barracks, otherwise it is easy to offend people. Of course, the key is that he has his younger brother He Daming watching over him.

Then He Daqing came to the inner room and called He Yuzhu out.

"Silly Zhu, come here for a moment."

When He Yuzhu heard his father He Daqing calling him, he immediately came over.

"Dad, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

He Daqing heard this and began to persuade him earnestly.

"Silly Zhu, this is what I am thinking about, I want you to join the army with your uncle, what do you think?"

He Yuzhu, who was only 15 years old, was shocked when he heard the news. In fact, he often saw soldiers wearing military uniforms and carrying long guns walking on the street. He thought they were very impressive. He was also a passionate young man at heart. He nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.

"Dad, Second Uncle, I do!"
