Stars In His Eyes

"Stop blabbering and go clean yourself, you stink! It’s almost time for dinner!" said the political commissar’s wife, pushing her daughter-in-law. The couple didn’t seem to mind that Chen Ya’nan wanted to be a woman soldier; judging by Chen Zheng’s reaction, he seemed to like Chen Ya’nan’s spirit.

With so many guests, the table was packed. Being a newlywed couple, He Teng and He Zhilan were naturally the target of everyone’s teasing. He Teng’s glass was continuously filled, and even Zhilan, who had a low tolerance for alcohol, was forced to indulge in a few drinks. Eventually, perhaps realizing that Zhilan was a girl, and a rather inexperienced drinker at that, they let her be.

However, as a man, He Teng was not as fortunate. Zhilan sat by his side, watching him down one drink after another, worrying that he might get completely drunk.

"Ah, the only problem with the He family is that they live too far from the army. We saddened that we missed their wedding feast because of the distance. If they lived closer, we’d definitely have been there to celebrate!" someone randomly brought up the fact that none of the soldiers had been at He Teng and He Zhilan’s wedding. They then refilled their glasses, suggesting a toast in lieu of the wedding celebration.

Although soldiers may appear stern, they certainly know how to enjoy themselves, hence the birth of the term ’jolly soldiers’.

The suggestion of a toast was met with thunderous applause and cheers of approval. Everyone agreed - it was a splendid idea!

"Absolutely! It’s a wonderful idea!" chimed in political commissar Chen Zheng. He would have thrown another wedding feast for He Teng and He Zhilan if circumstances allowed it!
