Chapter 121 Family Recognition Banquet
After Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao handed over all the work on hand, Commander Chen announced the report on his recognition of Cheng Jinghao as his godparents.
The soldiers and their families who knew about it were surprised. Although they all knew that the two were master and apprentice, Cheng Jinghao was his parents' son after all, and no one had ever thought about it in this way.
The most important thing was that no one had thought that Cheng Jinghao would hold a grand banquet for a simple godparent ceremony. After all, Commander Chen had already retired and Cheng Jinghao had already benefited from it.
During the family recognition banquet, several people from the Beijing Military Commission came, but they did not disturb anyone and just sat quietly in the audience.
At this banquet, Cheng Jinghao did not accept any courtesy.
"I just want everyone to witness this moment together." These are 놛's original words.
There was a chair right in front of the stage. Commander Chen was sitting on the chair wearing a brand new military uniform with a smile on his face.
Lin Momo stood on one side with the children. The children were almost one year old at this time. Although they could not walk yet, they could already stand up with the help of something.
Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wu followed the children, taking care of them for fear that they would fall.
Political Commissar Cao was sitting on one side. He had postponed his trip to the plateau in order to attend the family reunion banquet. The audience was filled with soldiers and their families from the Southwest Military Region.
"I'm glad that everyone has come together to attend this family reunion banquet. This is something I have thought about for a long time, and today, it has finally come true." Cheng Jinghao stood in front of the stage and spoke to the audience. After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Commander Chen.
"In front of my parents, my wife and children, I will acknowledge Commander Chen Jianguo as my godfather." Looking down at the audience, Cheng's father and mother were also sitting in the audience, which was something Lin Momo had never expected.
Cheng's father and mother had just arrived in Zangnan this morning, and Xu Zhengqing had just brought them over.
Father Cheng looked at his old comrade on the stage and nodded with a smile.
"When I first met you when I was eight years old, the first thing I said to you was that I wanted to be a soldier, too."
"When I was ten, I met you for the second time. I didn't dare let anyone know that we knew each other. I only dared to sneak into your house in the middle of the night after everyone was asleep."
"I'm afraid that others will think that I owe my achievements and promotions to you, so I never dare to be intimate with you in front of others."
"In the eyes of others, you are my strictest master, but in my eyes, you are the most loving father."
"In fact, I know that you waited for me to come back by the window every time you were on a mission."
"I want to be a son worthy of you. I hope everyone knows that Cheng Jinghao relies on the kindness of his father. I did it."
"Dad, for the rest of my life, I will let you rely on me." Cheng Jinghao walked in front of Commander Chen, squatted down and held his hands.
"Okay, okay, okay." Tears streamed down Commander Chen's face.
Everyone on the field was moved, and the military wives were secretly wiping away tears.
Lin Momo walked forward, picked up the teacup on the table, handed it to Commander Chen respectfully, and called him "Dad".
"Okay, okay, okay." Commander Chen took the tea and took a sip.
At this time, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wu led the children and walked in front of Commander Chen.
Cheng Jinghao made way, and the children lay down beside Commander Chen's legs one by one. "It's been a year, and I can finally hug you openly."
Looking at the children, Commander Chen wiped the tears from his face and smiled. He had finally waited for this moment.
"Old friend, now I can go to the plateau without worry." Political Commissar Cao said with a smile.
There was warm applause from the audience. Everyone was happy for Commander Chen and their family.
"What we need to do is to provide these retired and lonely soldiers with a place to live in their old age, not only in terms of material needs, but also in terms of psychological needs." A young man said among the crowd at the Beijing Military Commission.
"Yes." The person next to him replied.
"Let's go. This family reunion banquet is great." The young man stood up, glanced at the stage, smiled, and left.
Political Commissar Cao and his wife went to the plateau on the second day of the family recognition banquet. Cheng's father and mother stayed in southern Tibet to help them clean up the house.
In order to take care of Commander Chen, Cheng Jinghao's family moved to the empty yard next to Commander Chen.
"In the future, let you two and your children live next door. You can retire early, and the three of us old guys can live together." Commander Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, that's a good idea." Mother Cheng nodded with a smile. She had long thought about living like this, farming and taking care of her grandchildren.
"I'm not old yet, why should I retire?" Father Cheng agreed and liked his current job.
"Hey, you old man."
"Yes, he is still doing the same work as the young people in the factory. He never admits defeat." Mother Cheng said with a smile.
"Haha." Commander Chen pointed at Cheng's father and laughed.
Cheng Jinghao planned to help Lin Momo build a greenhouse again. The greenhouse was directly connected to the backyards of the two courtyards and was as big as the two backyards.
Lin Momo planned to plant some fruits in it, so that she could eat fruits openly.
"Xiao Zhao, come and help me make a door in this wall." Cheng Jinghao was preparing to connect the two courtyards.
"Brigade Commander, are you sure this wall will not fall down?" After his retirement, Commander Chen also equipped two guards, but he still only had Xiao Zhao.
"No, what are you afraid of?" Cheng Jinghao looked at 놛 hiding behind with a look of disgust on his face.
"Get out of the way." Father Cheng pushed Xiao Zhao and swung the axe at him vigorously.
"Dad, dad, dad, you're really going to fall down like this." Cheng Jinghao quickly stopped his father. The wall would be full of holes after being hit like this.
"We have to do this job." At this time, Zhao Zhigang and others who were standing at the gate of the courtyard walked in.
Those who helped build the greenhouse built the greenhouse, and those who opened the courtyard gate opened the courtyard gate. The work was done quickly.
Lin Momo and Cheng's mother were looking after the children in the house. The children were already able to walk by holding on to the kang.
Tang Yuan stood on the edge of the kang, patting his feet and clapping his hands. After a while he lost his balance and quickly held onto the kang, making a "ho ho ho" sound from his mouth, as if he was laughing at himself.
"Haha." This made Cheng's mother laugh.
Noodles' target was very clear, it was Lin Momo, who was sitting on the kang and folding clothes. He walked towards her carefully, and reached for the clothes in her hand, wanting to take the clothes away and let his mother hug him.
"Hold me, go play by yourself."
"Noodles stick to you the most." said Cheng's mother.
Only Jiaozi was the most serious one. He held on to the edge of the kang and practiced walking by himself.
"Because you are the most tactless." Lin Momo smiled and patted Noodles' little butt.
"That seems to be the case." Mother Cheng looked at Noodles and laughed. Every time Lin Momo did housework, Noodles would hit her in front of her.
"Momo, thank you."
Lin Momo was confused by Cheng's mother's sudden thanks.
