All text without wide Chapter 909
Two days later.
In the afternoon, on the warship.
Dong Xuebin in the cabin could vaguely hear the howling wind outside. Seeing that her daughter was a little scared, Dong Xuebin quickly hugged Qian Qian and walked out of the room.
There was a festive atmosphere inside the ship. The Power of Time and Wealth 909
The soldiers were busy, some hanging Double Happiness Character, and some preparing dinner.
Dong Xuebin was startled and stopped one person. "Brother, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" The soldier looked at him, "The Thirtieth of the Lunar Year today."
"Yo!" Dong Xuebin slapped his forehead, "I have forgotten the day after spending a few days at sea, right?"
It's the New Year, and looking at my own thoughts and the festive atmosphere around me, Dong Xuebin's mood has also improved a bit. Although Mom and Hui Lan Yun Xuan are not with me this year, my daughter is with me anyway, Dong Xuebin didn't feel lonely, so he put Xiao Qianqian on his shoulders and let her sit on his shoulders. Then Dong Xuebin supported her while walking quickly inside the warship. Xiao Qianqian seemed to like high places. Looking down, she danced with joy and giggled from ear to ear.
"Haha, are you so happy?"
"Yeah! Yeah!"
"You also know about the Chinese New Year? We Xiao Qianqian are also one year older. We are not allowed to cry anymore."
"Eee! Eee! Yeah!"
After a while, the female soldier yesterday found Dong Xuebin and came over to invite him to have a New Year's Eve dinner with everyone on the ship in the evening. Dong Xuebin readily agreed.
evening.
Warship Diner.
When Dong Xuebin came in, he saw three or four tables set up inside. Many soldiers came and the dishes were all prepared. Although the dishes were a bit bland and the space in the cabin restaurant was not very large, once the lanterns were hung up and Double Happiness Character posted, the overall atmosphere still had a New Year flavor.
Dong Xuebin immediately greeted everyone, "Happy New Year."
Several soldiers also said, "Happy New Year."
Dong Xuebin took his daughter's little fleshy hand and waved to everyone, "Little guy, I wish my uncle and aunt a happy new year. I wish them good health and a happy family."
Xiao Qianqian le giggled and screamed, as if he was really celebrating the New Year.
The soldiers were all amused, "The baby is very cute." The Power of Time and Wealth 909
"Baby, happy New Year to you too." Several people came up to say hello and shake hands with Qian Qian.
Dong Xuebin I am very proud that my daughter is popular everywhere.
At this time, the colonel and several officers also arrived one by one, walked into the small restaurant, and wished everyone New Year's greetings.

Finally, the senior colonel turned to look at Dong Xuebin with a smile, "Little Dong, the conditions here are limited, the New Year's Eve dinner is just this level, I don't know if you are used to it."
Dong Xuebin said quickly, "It's very good. I feel hungry when I smell it."
The colonel smiled and said, "That's good, come on, let's serve it."
Three hostages who had been kidnapped from the smuggling ship also arrived. Because their identities were unknown and they were engaged in illegal activities, they have been under control since they arrived on the warship. It is impossible for them to wander around like Dong Xuebin. But today is New Year's Eve, and several officers are also very "humane" and have called everyone over for the New Year's Eve dinner. As for the cargo ship Niu Dazhao, it is returning to China with the warship and is following behind, so their people have not come over either. They should be eating there.
It's time to eat.
The colonel immediately invited Dong Xuebin to sit at the same table with several of their officers.
Dong Xuebin Seeing that there were many people at their table, he was too embarrassed to go, so he declined politely and squeezed into a table with a few soldiers nearby.
Seeing that the captain was so polite to Dong Xuebin, both polite and giving up his seat, many people were a little puzzled, especially the officers. They looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't understand what was going on with the colonel. Only the female soldier who was pouring them drinks knew, but the chief above had explained it. Of course she couldn't tell anyone. There is a big difference between the military and political circles. Obeying orders is especially important in the army.
"Huh." Dong Xuebin looked around, "No wine? You all have drinks?"
The three former hostages also had itchy throats, but they didn't dare to make any demands.
A soldier looked at him and said, "We are still on a mission and cannot drink."
Dong Xuebin smacked his lips and said, "Isn't the task accomplished? How can we celebrate the Chinese New Year without wine? There is no banquet without wine." After being nervous for so many days, Dong Xuebin really wanted to drink a little.
The colonel heard this, groaned, and immediately called the female soldier.
The female soldier nodded and walked out. When she came back, she actually had a bottle of Moutai in her hand and placed it in front of Dong Xuebin.
The colonel smiled and said, "Little Dong, we won't drink anymore. This bottle belongs to you."
"Good wine." Dong Xuebin cupped his fists and said, "Thank you then."
The colonel slowly stood up and said to the soldiers below, "Let me say a few words first..."
It seems to be a common practice for the leader to give a speech before the dinner. The colonel first highly affirmed the performance of the soldiers in this mission, and then conveyed the praise of the superior leaders. Finally, the colonel also expressed his gratitude to Dong Xuebin for his help in rescuing the hostages. The Power of Time and Wealth 909
Everyone applauded in unison. The applause was loud, but it was not chaotic at all.
The senior colonel then wished everyone a happy New Year, then raised a glass and took the lead in drinking it.
After drinking a glass, Dong Xuebin poured himself a full glass of wine, then stood up holding the child and raising the glass, "Captain, may I also say something?"
The colonel nodded slightly.
Several officers looked at him and asked, "What else are you talking about?"
It suddenly became quiet downstairs. These soldiers were never less curious about Dong Xuebin and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Dong Xuebin is also used to being a leader. He cleared his throat first, then glanced around and said, "Today is the New Year's Eve. It should be a day for comrades to reunite with their families. But for my children and for the people of our Republic, everyone gave up the opportunity to reunite with their relatives and sailed thousands of miles to African Waters, risking their lives to save the hostages. As a father, I want to thank you. Everyone, as a citizen, I also want to thank you on behalf of the people of the Republic. This is the most meaningful Spring Festival I have ever celebrated, because I am fortunate to have the New Year's Eve dinner with the soldiers who guard our motherland. Here, on behalf of all the people of the Republic, I would like to say that although your relatives may not be around to celebrate the New Year with you, but I, we are all your relatives. You have worked hard. I give you a toast and wish our soldiers and their families a safe life!"
Dong Xuebin raised his head and let the bottom of the cup dry.
The colonel immediately took the lead in applauding, and other soldiers also applauded.
The officers glanced at Dong Xuebin in surprise, and they really said something very good. If there was a cameraman next to him, this segment would have been on TV. It was like a speech had been written in advance. There was no lack of true feelings in the fake air. Every mouthful was a family member, and every mouthful was a thank you. This is not something that ordinary Discipline Inspection Committee Civil Servants can say.
Isn't this person an official?
Cadres of the Discipline Inspection Commission? Minor subject?
Many people also have this idea in mind.
"Okay! Let's start the show now!" An officer clapped his hands.
Hearing this, Dong Xuebin, who was eating food, raised his head suspiciously, what kind of show?
I saw two people suddenly walking in outside the restaurant, dressed a bit unusually, and they actually sang a duet.
Dong Xuebin Then I realized that there is a program. They can't watch the Spring Festival Gala here. Soldiers can't drink, let alone go over to toast their leaders like people in official circles. It would be boring to sit there and eat while listening. That's why we have this Spring Festival program, right?
Dong Xuebin also looked at it with great interest, chewing the green vegetables while watching, and finally spit it out in his hand, then reached out to feed Xiao Qianqian.
Qian Qian slurped and ate very deliciously.
Dong Xuebin said happily, "You are easy to feed, you can eat anything."
Qian Qian After finishing eating, he went to catch his father and asked for more.
Dong Xuebin didn't care about eating, took a sip of wine, and then started feeding the little guy again.
Nearly half of the program was basically all about singing, and most of it was military songs. Dong Xuebin He drank less than half of a bottle of Maotai, and his head felt a little dizzy. He was not here for socializing today, but really wanted to drink some wine, so he didn't do any cheating at all. It was already pretty good that he could hold up his drinking capacity until he got dizzy.
The two soldiers next to him looked at Dong Xuebin, and after looking at each other, they both went to toast him.
"Come, let's have a drink."
"Xuebin, I respect you."
The two of them seemed to have a purpose.
"Okay!" Dong Xuebin happily clinked glasses with them and drank.
One of the soldiers asked, "Xue Bin, how did you practice your marksmanship?"
Dong Xuebin said vaguely, "Marksmanship? I haven't practiced it before."
Another soldier said, "Impossible, I think your accuracy must be professionally trained."
Dong Xuebin Although he had drunk, he was not sober and said, "What did I train for? It was all a blind fight. By the way, what kind of soldiers are you two?"
The soldier said, "We are snipers."
Dong Xuebin slammed the table, "Hey, it turns out you two are the two stinky gunmen on the ship!"
Stinky gun basket??
When the two of them heard this, they almost fainted!
The soldiers around heard it and almost laughed.
Dong Xuebin patted them on the shoulders and said, "I'm not talking about you, what kind of marksmanship are you doing? You can't even hit someone at such a close range? Are you a sniper?"
The two snipers were so frustrated that they turned their heads and ate their food without saying a word. They were both embarrassed, but they had to admit that Dong Xuebin's marksmanship was indeed much better than theirs. This was obvious to everyone, and it was okay not to admire him.
Another soldier asked curiously, "By the way, are you really Civil Servants from the Discipline Inspection Commission?"
This is an issue that everyone is concerned about, and many people have looked at it.
Dong Xuebin spoke the truth after drinking, "Yes, I am City Discipline Inspection Committee Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office Director."
The soldier was stunned, "A prefecture-level city?"
"Yeah."
"Full Director?"
"Yeah."
Everyone looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Even the colonel and several officers eating there were slightly startled.
