Fang Zhonglei saw his wife's worried expression, afraid that she would think too much, so he quickly grabbed a few mouthfuls of rice and pretended to be delicious.

Wang Yaru knew that her husband must have something to hide from her, and they had lived together for thirty years, and she knew this man.

She gently put down her chopsticks, looked into Fang Zhonglei's eyes, and said, "Let's say, you and I share weal and woe, and nothing can defeat us." ”

Fang Zhonglei knew that he couldn't hide it any longer, he said: "A soldier was captured by the enemy, and he was not found before he retreated, and his life and death are unknown. We didn't give up looking, I kept waiting for news. ”

Wang Yaru said: "Who is this warrior? ”

Fang Zhonglei said: "It's Li Aobai!" ”

Wang Yaru: "Ah! With a sigh, he sat down in his chair.

Thirty years of hope have been disappointed?

Fang Zhonglei comforted his wife and said, "Xiaoru, our people have been searching in the mountains and will not give up." ”

At this time, the phone rang, and it was a long distance. Fang Zhonglei hurriedly picked up the phone, and the voice on the other end said that it was from Commander Liu, saying that it was in the mountains, in a hidden cave, and traces of people had been found.

Fang Zhonglei carefully asked about the search and rescue, and then hung up the phone. He said to his wife, "Xiaoru, there is a clue over there, but it will take some time." ”

Wang Yaru didn't speak, just silently took out the Bible, and prayed very sincerely, she hoped that God, God, all the gods who could protect the common people could hear and bless Li Aobai's safety.

Zhang Xiaoqiang returned home and Zhang Yang greeted her. He asked, "What about my brother-in-law?" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "His task is not completed yet, and it will take some time. It's okay, he's back. Let him have a good game of chess with you. ”

Next door, Bai Xiaojie's family was reunited. He Zhigang has experienced a big war scene this time. After escaping death several times, he cherishes the importance of his family even more. The son sat on the sofa reading a villain book, while he took his daughter-in-law into his arms and said, "I almost can't come back." ”

Bai Xiaojie said: "Don't talk nonsense, isn't this good." ”

He Zhigang said: "You don't know how terrible and cruel the war is, watching many comrades-in-arms die in front of me. The flesh and blood are blurred, and I am really scared, afraid that I will never see you again if I am not careful. ”

Bai Xiaojie said: "I know. You're going to be okay. When we are a family, we are the greatest happiness. ”

He Zhigang had never hugged his daughter-in-law so affectionately, and he had never felt how important the existence of a home was before.

This time, more than four months. He settled his mind well. He felt that having a wife and children waiting at home was his greatest hope.

Bai Xiaojie wanted to inquire about Li Aobai, but was prevaricated by He Zhigang. She was a little strange, and there was something wrong with her husband's speech.

When she was about to ask a few more words, He Zhigang said that he was going to take a bath, so that he could prepare some things for the bath and a change of clothes.

Bai Xiaojie was ready and put it in a white enamel basin. He Zhigang picked up the basin and went to the public bath in the courtyard of the army.

The bath was full of people, all of whom had come back from this mission.

Everyone told each other that it felt good to be home. The wife and children are there. It's the best satisfaction.

Zhang Xiaoqiang listened to the movement outside, in this small building. Because the male protagonists returned, it became lively.

At this time, she felt that there was a cold air flowing through her heart, Li Aobai, where are you?

What made her feel a little strange was that when she asked about Li Aobai, everyone answered the same thing.

For dinner in the evening, she didn't have the heart to do it, she took some meal tickets to Zhang Yang and said, "Yang, you take your brother to the canteen in the compound and come back with some vegetables and steamed buns." ”

The two younger brothers went out.

Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly opened the plane, and the Heavenly Master came with a smile again. Before Zhang Xiaoqiang opened his mouth, he said that Li Aobai was safe, don't worry.

Zhang Xiaoqiang calmed her mood again.

Took what Chopper asked for out of the plane ring. Chopper was very happy to see this.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Regarding the matter of hunting tools, you wait a few more days, the blacksmiths are doing it." ”

Chopper nodded.

Zhang Xiaoqiang has another ruby in her ring.

……

Time passed like this. July is coming to an end, and Li Aobai still has no news.

Zhang Xiaoqiang went to the office of the army leader several times to ask Li Aobai, but no one told her the real answer, and the old saying was just repeated.

No one knew the origin of the Guanyin statue that Luo Jinan brought back, and no one mentioned it again. Everything returned to calm like stagnant water.

Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart began to be anxious, why didn't anyone give her an answer?

Li Aobai is dead or alive, but it is good to have a quasi-letter. If it weren't for the two younger brothers who needed to take care of herself, she would definitely go to that border alone, to find a husband in that beautiful forest.

Take care of this home for him, and as soon as he comes back, he will think of this place.

Zhang Xiaoqiang wrote a letter to her in-laws at home, reporting her safety and asking her not to worry.

Knowing that he was shouting desperately at the branch, there was not a trace of wind in the air.

Zhang Yang and Zhang Chen were both reading books and doing homework in the courtyard. The two serious looks are no less than the students who are preparing for the college entrance examination.

Zhang Xiaoqiang leaned on the door frame, thinking about Li Aobai's affairs.

Fang Zhonglei had been in contact with the defenders there. It is always said that there are clues and hopes, and to return is disappointment.

This time, the troops made major adjustments, and Fang Zhonglei did not have to go back to Yanjing, but stayed in Hacheng.

China and country A opened fire again because of the border issue, and the war was in a state of white heat. Garrisons everywhere have the possibility of going to the battlefield at any time.

From time to time, the war situation there was reported on the radio, and as soon as Zhang Xiaoqiang heard about the war in country A, she was nervous to death.

The army once again published a list of deaths, as well as a list of missing people, in which Li Aobai's name was not known.

There are also some unknown people, but it is not Li Aobai from the age.

These news also mean that Li Aobai is not missing, nor is he dead or injured, so just continue to wait.

Wang Yaru was also sullen about this matter, Fang Zhonglei knew the reason, and he didn't persuade more. He knew that Wang Yaru, who was weak on the outside, was stronger than him in his heart.

Li Xiangqian also called several times to express the other party's concern for Zhonglei.

In the past few days since Luo Jinan came back, there has been no expression on his face. Such seriousness makes the two good buddies feel very strange. Usually giggling is always not serious, but these days it is serious to death, the same as pretending to be cool, no matter how funny it is, it is to squeeze out a little pitiful smile.
