"Brother Jin San, I'm waiting for you. Come on, our brothers meet for the first time, so we have to have a few drinks."

Li Jing is worthy of being an old man, and he said this sentence with a smile as soon as he came up... It is not close to him, and he needs to be shameless - before, Jin San was lukewarm and did not have the natural laughter and joy of Ma Hongjishi at all. Moreover, the content in this passage makes people embarrassed to refuse - after all, with Ma Hongji here, everyone has not broken up, right?

Jin San was obviously stunned for a moment, and then, although he just smiled faintly, he did not refuse, but sat on Li Jing's right hand... Li Jing and Ma Hongji sat on the main seat side by side. According to the seating rules at the banquet, Jin San, as Ma Hongji's confidant, should sit in Ma Hongji's attack.

So, from this point of view, as long as Jin San is willing to sit with Li Jing, it means that Jin San is willing to resolve the hatred between each other. Whether he is sincere or just for Ma Hongji's face, at least on the surface... In layman's terms, this is a kind of tactful and cautious test between each other.

After everyone sat down, Ma Hongji, as the patriarch or the owner of this place, should have toasted first.

He stood up, raised his glass of wine, and smiled at everyone, "In the past, Ma was used to eating first and then drinking, but because Ma was very happy to have a drink with Lao Li today... I didn't say anything, come on! Brothers, this first glass of wine, the sincerity of ceremonializing Lao Li, can bring reunion today, so for this first glass of wine, everyone will respect Lao Li together."

"cheers!"

After drinking the first glass of wine, Ergazi poured wine for everyone with great eyesight.

Everyone will continue this time and eat a few bites of food... It's early in the morning, and everyone knows that drinking on an empty stomach is not good for the health. It's better, at worst, you can bear it, but drinking on an empty stomach is very easy to get drunk. If you get drunk here, it's embarrassing - in this era, many people will think that people who drink happily must be straightforward. People with deep alcoholism must be heroes. What's the matter if you get drunk when you drink?

"This second glass of wine, toast to our fate that we can get together today!"

"cheers!"

"This third glass of wine, toast to have a happy future cooperation, let's clean up the Japanese together."

Li Jing also smiled and said, "Old Ma's words have come to my heart, come on, do it!"

After three glasses of wine, everyone started to eat and drink.

During this period, Li Jing also took the initiative to talk to Jin San. Jin San's attitude was obviously better than before, at least, whether it was out of coping or really accepting Li Jing's kindness, anyway, he kept smiling, but perhaps because of his personality, he said less, and most of the time Li Jing was talking.

A few minutes later, when everyone was half full of food and drink, as the representative of the guests, Li Jing naturally stood up with a glass of wine in a very good manner and said, "The first glass of wine is to pay tribute to the old horse."

Hearing this, Ma Hongji held up his wine glass and stood up with a smile... As the guest representative who designated the person to toast, this is not only a way to give the host, but also a kind of respect and courtesy.

"Old Ma, thank you for your understanding, and for your support and help... I won't say much about thanks, everything is in this glass of wine, do it!"

"Dry!"

The two of them clashed and drank the wine in the glass in one go.

Li Jing poured himself a glass of wine and turned to face Jin San.

"Brother Jin San, Lao Li, I am a happy person. I did something that I regretted in my life when I did something that I regretted in my life... But now that things have come to this point, Lao Li doesn't know how to get the forgiveness of you and the villagers... I will apologize to you in front of Lao Ma and all my brothers. In the future, I will never refuse as long as I don't violate the rules of our party and our army."

Speaking of this, Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, "If you can forgive me, just have a drink with me. If you are still uncomfortable, it means that my old Li is not sincere enough, and you have to continue working hard."

After saying that, Li Jing held the wine glass, looked at Jin San, waiting for Jin San's reply... After all, he was an old man. Although his words seemed to be straightforward, his way of speaking was extremely old: he first blamed himself and frankly, then apologized, but finally forced him politely: In the eyes of the public, if Jin San wanted to reject Li Jing's kindness, it would leave people with the impression that he was slim and ungrateful. In this way, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, it would not be easy to refuse in front of everyone, especially in front of Ma Hongji. After all, Li Jing was brought by Ma Hongji. Tell me directly that Ma Hongji is now a friend, so when Li Jing cleverly used this point to resolve this, Ma Hongji smiled and said nothing. After all, he promised to help Li Jing find a breakthrough from Jin San.

After looking at Ma Hongji, Jin San put away his smile and looked at Li Jing seriously for the first time.

"Battleman Li, I understand what you mean and feel your sincerity. However, Jin San, my leg is nothing. I just want to ask one question now, and I hope you can tell the truth."

"Okay! No matter what you ask, I, Li Jing, will never expire at all."

"Are you really coming to protect our Majiapo Village to deal with the Japanese, or do you have another purpose?"

"Brother Jin San, I swear to you on such a big matter, I'm afraid you don't believe it. In this way, I'll analyze it for you. If the analysis is correct, we will drink this glass of wine. If my analysis is wrong, you will pour it on me directly... Come on! Let's sit down and talk slowly."

"For me personally, if I had said more specifically half a year ago, before I joined the revolution, if you asked me what I thought about the things that happened back then, to be honest, I would definitely tell you that I would never have any regrets, because I was still a bandit at that time. Since I was a bandit, robbery was a profession, so where did I regret it? Besides, a man is a real man, and he does it. If a man lives for a lifetime, he cannot be remembered for a lifetime, and he cannot be detrimental for thousands of years, so he can only seek happiness for a lifetime."

Speaking of this, Li Jing picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and continued: "But since he participated in the revolution, received education from the party and the example of comrades setting an example, I have understood a truth: when people live, they cannot just ignore the lives of others for their own happiness, otherwise, wouldn't they become beasts? In the past six months, my experience has changed drastically. I have always asked myself about the things that happened back then. I did a very bad job, and I am very sorry to the villagers in this area... So, personally, I really regret it."

"From the official point of view, the Japanese really didn't regard us Chinese as humans, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil. To put it bluntly, it was even more extreme than when we were bandits. It was simply not giving all of us a way to live. Since the Japanese don't give us a way to live, we naturally cannot sit back and wait for death. We must resist, fight, and drive the Japanese away, like this... Wait, I think about it. By the way, our political commissar said to us, "Even if we don't do it for ourselves, we must fight to the end with the Japanese for our descendants not being enslaved by the Japanese."

"Brother Jin San, to be honest, although I have regrets, I really don't have the courage to come to the village again, especially when I see the people in the village who were harmed by us at that time. Now I look at me with such hatred eyes. However, the military orders are like mountains and the situation requires me, Li Jing, have to bite the bullet... So, both for public and private, I must come, both for the sake of making up for the past and for the future of my descendants."

After saying that, seeing everyone looking over in a daze, Li Jing smiled bitterly and said to Jin San: "I said that, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Jin San sighed and patted his right thigh and said, "Even if my leg is still intact, even if I go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese devils, I'm afraid I won't do anything better than you. Moreover, I can't protect the villagers, let alone avenge the two people who were slaughtered by Japanese devils."

"I won't say this anymore. Come on, Captain Li, I'll to you." He stood up with a glass of wine and said to Li Jing.

"No! No! I should toast you this glass of wine."

"We won't talk about the things that happened back then. As long as you can fight the Japanese, let alone this leg, it's worth it even if your life is gone." As he said that, Jin San took the initiative to chat with Li Jing, and after drinking it, he lit up the empty wine glass at Li Jing. Seeing that Li Jing was still a little surprised, Jin San smiled and said, "I'm a toast to you guys who fight the Japanese. Isn't Battalion Commander Li not even giving this little face, right?"

When Li Jing heard this, he immediately drank it all, and also shone the empty wine glass against Jin Sanyi.

Then, the two of them smiled at the same time, and finally they both burst into laughter.

"One to honor and avoid grudges! Good! Good! Good!" Ma Hongji applauded happily, then picked up the wine glass and stood up and said to everyone: "We don't pay attention to etiquette today. Come on, everyone raised the wine glass to give birth to brother Li Jing, the magnanimity of brother Jin San, the sincerity of the future, and to be able to drive the Japanese away as soon as possible, we have had this cup together!"

"Dry!"

This time, the atmosphere at the table was finally normal and the atmosphere became lively.

Jin San let go of his grudges and said more. Not only did he ask Li Jing what he needed to help, he also offered to help Li Jing persuade the villagers to let go of their past grudges as soon as possible and unite with the Japanese devils as soon as possible. After all, everyone knows that now everyone not only has a common enemy, but also the most important enemy that is at stake in their lives and death - the Japanese devils are right in front of him.

really!

At noon that day, when Li Jing brought someone and gifts to apologize to Jin San, in full view of everyone, Jin San cooperated very well and not only accepted the apology generously, but also persuaded everyone in public...

In this way, the opening of this breakthrough makes the subsequent things much easier.

Although there are still a very small number of people who did not accept the apology, as Li Jing analyzed, in full view of the public, these very small number of people still accepted the apology, or in other words, had to accept it.

The matter finally came to an end, and the stone that had been pressing on Li Jing and others' hearts almost disappeared, and the next thing was how to fight the Japanese together.
