"That's absolutely unacceptable. Our military discipline prohibits us from taking even a single needle or thread from the people."
Shi Zhentang didn't know it was ivory, but he couldn't take it no matter what it was.
But the other party was very enthusiastic, so Tian Yuzhu had to speak up for him: "Comrade Qin Xu, you'd better ask him not to give it to you. Soldiers really can't accept gifts."
Qin Xu helped him decline the offer in his native language.
When the young people saw that the People's Liberation Army really did not take the people's things, their eyes were filled with admiration.
Later, when they went to prepare their costumes, Tian Yuzhu quietly told the man, "That thing he just gave you is the ivory I told you about."
Shi Zhentang was surprised: "Elephants are already listed as protected species, so where did his ivory come from?"
"Ah, Comrade Shi!" Tian Yuzhu couldn't help but pat his shoulder with emotion. "Do you know how many years of effort it will take to educate them about the law? Besides, what if he picked up the ivory?
In any case, if we want them to understand that hunting is illegal, we must first improve their education, otherwise they won’t understand no matter what we say.”
At this point, Tian Yuzhu's eyes lit up and she looked behind Shi Zhentang: "Why are they here?"
"who?"
Shi Zhentang turned around.
Hey, I saw Li Shengli and Ding Weiwei walked into the photo studio.
The key point is that Li Shengli carried Ding Weiwei on his back, and the two of them were talking and laughing, no longer in their usual quarrelsome mode of interaction.
Could it be that during the time they were away from the army, their relationship grew stronger?
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang looked at each other and said, "That's good, a good thing."
"Brother, sister-in-law."
"Battalion Commander, Sister Yuzhu."
As soon as he walked up to her, Li Shengli quickly put Ding Weiwei down.
However, Ding Weiwei was unable to stand steadily. She stood on one foot and held Li Shengli's arm tightly with her hands.
Li Shengli's hand also subconsciously supported her waist.
Tian Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Why are you two here?"
Li Shengli said quickly: "I came to pick you up. I heard from Comrade Qin Xu that you two arrived in the provincial capital today, so I hurried over. My sister-in-law is not feeling well and can't always take the bus."
"You're very considerate, kid."
Shi Zhentang nodded in satisfaction, wanting to tease him a little, "But you have to pay attention to discipline. You and Xiao Ding are too close. We are all comrades, and there are differences between men and women. Be careful about the impact in the future."
"But Battalion Commander, we are more than just comrades-in-arms now!" Ding Weiwei was fooled and opened her mouth to argue anxiously.
Li Shengli's face flushed: "..."
"Really? Then what is the relationship between you two?" Shi Zhentang asked coldly.
"We are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and Seungri said he will marry me soon. From now on, we will be husband and wife."
"Hey, boy, you're so fast."
"Brother, I..." Li Shengli's head was buzzing. He was usually very sharp-tongued, but now his mouth was throbbing. It took him a long time to utter: "Yes, brother, I will marry her."
"That's great, congratulations." Tian Yuzhu finally couldn't hold back her laughter.
Seeing that Shi Zhentang also had a faint smile on his face, the two men realized that they had been fooled.
Ding Weiwei suddenly felt embarrassed: "Sister, even you are playing tricks on me."
Tian Yuzhu smiled and said, "You still call me sister. You can call me sister together with Shengli. From now on, just call me sister-in-law."
"Hey, sister-in-law!"
At this time, Qin Xu came out and asked Tian Yuzhu to try on the clothes, and Ding Weiwei also wanted to go and see.
Li Shengli went to the car to take out her crutches, and she followed Tian Yuzhu to the photo studio to play.
"elder brother."
Finally, with his ears clear, Li Shengli handed Shi Zhentang a cigarette.
Because his wife was pregnant, Shi Zhentang was able to endure the pain throughout the journey and had not had a seizure for several hours.
I feel a little tired now, so I'll just smoke one.
They took the cigarette and went outside the photo studio to smoke. He took a puff of tobacco and glared at Li Shengli: "Have you thought it through? Don't you regret it?"
"Think it through." Li Shengli knew what he was asking, so he said, "Ding Weiwei has always been following me over the years, wherever I go, she follows me. Later, I thought about it carefully and realized that maybe this is fate. She is the only one in my life and she can't escape."
"Hey, you little bastard, she's such a nice girl, you're just taking advantage of her."
Shi Zhentang looked him up and down: "No, you are hiding something from me, not just about Xiao Ding. Tell me, what else is it?"
Li Shengli stammered: "Brother...I..."
After hesitating for a long time without being able to come up with an answer, Shi Zhentang lost his patience: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. You won't have the chance to say it again in the future."
"No, brother." Li Shengli quickly blasted out a series of cannonballs: "Brother, I lost Xiao Hei. It ran up the mountain. Later, I went into the mountain to look for it. I really looked for it. I kept looking for it until dark.
But I didn't find Xiao Hei, and I saw a wolf. I guess Xiao Hei... he might have fallen into the wolf's mouth. Brother, I'm sorry, I know Xiao Hei is like your relatives.
Especially my sister-in-law, that was the dog she brought from her hometown with great effort, but now I lost it.
I feel so nervous and sorry for you and even more sorry for my sister-in-law.
Brother, can you please speak well of me in front of my sister-in-law? I swear, I will pay attention in the future and find her a dog better than Xiao Hei.
"Nonsense, how can two dogs be the same? Your sister-in-law raises Xiao Hei like a child..."
No, Shi Zhentang suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong in Li Shengli's words.
He immediately stopped accusing me and said, "Tell me again, you saw a wolf on the mountain where you went to find Xiao Hei. What kind of wolf was it? Tell me."
So Li Shengli told him everything that happened last night.
After finishing speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously and said, "Brother, please, you must help me speak well of me. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be angry and I will never be able to eat her cooking again."
Shi Zhentang lowered his eyelids and took a puff of tobacco. "Well, it's a little dangerous. Okay, for the sake of our comrades, I'll plead for you, but you have to remember that you owe me a favor."
"Okay, I will definitely remember this. If you ask me to go through fire and water in the future, I will definitely do it." When Li Shengli heard someone pleading for him, he quickly saluted.
Shi Zhentang hid the smile in his eyes and took his hand away: "Don't try that on me."
This brat, Shi Zhentang has actually guessed 80% of it.
It is estimated that the wolf that Li Shengli saw with the flashlight at that time was Xiao Hei.
Usually they went to his house during the day, and the wolf's eyes would not reflect light under normal daylight, so no one noticed.
It is easy to be exposed at night.
So later Tian Yuzhu asked Xiao Hei to howl in the mountains during the day and try not to go out at night, for fear of encountering sentries and getting into trouble.
If a soldier finds a wolf entering the army, he has the right to shoot.
What puzzled Shi Zhentang was why Xiao Hei suddenly went up the mountain at night and didn't return home the next day.
Is it because its owner is not at home and it is playing around?
