Zhang Xiaoqiang is still very grateful to Bai Xiaojie, this kind and simple neighbor. She is always silently helping Zhang Xiaoqiang's sister and brother.

Zhang Yang urged that the time was almost up, and it was time to go to school. Zhang Xiaoqiang said that it was sent to school, and Zhang Yang said that there was no need to send it, he could.

Bai Xiaojie and Zhang Xiaoqiang carried the packed luggage to Zhang Yang together, and Zhang Chen carried some in his hand, sent them out of the yard, and watched the two younger brothers walk away.

Bai Xiaojie said: "These two children grow up really fast, and I still remember clearly what they looked like when they first came." It's difficult for you, who is a sister, to take care of and support your two younger brothers, and the burden is heavy enough, and you have to watch them start a family in the future. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "There is no way, this is the situation at home, if I didn't care at that time, they would starve to death in the village or be abused to death by their stepmother." This is the case in the countryside, where going to school is even more of a luxury. ”

The two of them walked back as they chatted.

Wang Yaru stopped Zhang Xiaoqiang from behind, and Bai Xiaojie went back first.

Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that when she met Wang Yaru here, this was definitely not a chance encounter, but a deliberate waiting.

Wang Yaru walked over and grabbed Zhang Xiaoqiang, she smiled and said, "Miss Xiaoqiang, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "I am busy with the graduation internship, so I have to contact the internship unit first to see if there is a good place to go." Those of us who come from rural areas may not be able to return to their hometowns. ”

Wang Yaru pondered for a moment and said, "Then look, do you want us to help you?" ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "No need, thank you, Auntie." I'll run on my own first. ”

Wang Yaru said: "Don't be so polite, you and I are old acquaintances, and the relationship is not ordinary." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded. Of course she does. She didn't want to ask anyone else for help before it was a critical moment. Her feelings told her that Boss Zhang would definitely help.

She knew that the person Wang Yaru wanted to ask was Li Aobai, and that was the point. Because Wang Jianjun talked about some of the stakes, Wang Yaru did not go to the hospital to visit.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Auntie, don't worry, Li Aobai is recovering well." I'll be back in a few days. Heaven has its own arrangement, and everyone has his perfect ending. Like I've been waiting for more than a year, my husband is back healthy. ”

Wang Yaru's eyes moistened. She's been waiting for thirty years. I saw that my son was right in front of me, but I couldn't recognize him. For the sake of his son's future, endure it for the time being.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said: "Auntie, go to my house and sit down!" ”

Wang Yaru followed Zhang Xiaoqiang to the courtyard at the back. Entered the house. Zhang Xiaoqiang closed the door and window.

She opened the box. I took out a baggage, and took out a small quilt and a baby's small cotton shirt from it.

When Wang Yaru saw these things, her whole body stiffened.

She looked at these objects carefully, and saw the word "Aobai" embroidered with red silk thread, and she cried.

Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly handed over a towel, signaled her aunt not to cry, and pointed outside.

Wang Yaru suppressed herself vigorously.

The things these sons used when they were young were all made by themselves when they were pregnant in October. At that time, Fang Zhonglei was not allowed to do it. She didn't listen, taking advantage of her husband's absence. I went outside to ask my mother-in-law who could do needlework.

Finally, when her husband saw a cabinet of children's clothes, he noticed the needle eye in Wang Yaru's hand, and he kept kissing his wife's fingers in distress.

Looking at his wife's bulging belly, he squatted down, attached his ear to his belly and whispered: "Son, you see how much your mother loves you, you must honor her well!" Also, although Dad is busy, he loves you more. ”

Touching this thing full of memories, Wang Yaru also talked about some of the past.

When she was six months pregnant, Fang Zhonglei's unit received a mission to exterminate a group of bandits. The relationship between this group of bandits is more complicated, including the stubborn remnants of the Kuomintang, the king of the mountain who occupies the mountain, and the Xiangma who falls into the grass. New China had just been founded, and it was riddled with holes, and this group of bandits was making trouble everywhere.

This task of extermination fell on Fang Zhonglei's unit.

Urgently assembled, ordered troops on the battlefield, these soldiers who had just come down from a major battle, and before they could rest properly, they went to the battlefield again.

The big leader of this group of bandits was also a high-ranking Kuomintang general, but he didn't want to evacuate, so he brought his own people here.

Before leaving, Fang Zhonglei was told that this was not an ordinary bandit, courage alone was not enough, and it was the same as on the battlefield, wisdom and tactics were the most important.

At that time, the commander-in-chief was also an experienced regiment commander on our side. Fang Zhonglei and another junior officer named Li Xiangqian drove into the mountains together.

That battle was also quite tragic, and in the end, the bandits were killed and wounded, and some of them could not resist surrendering.

Who knew that the big boss actually resisted stubbornly and fought with us. It has cost us a lot of manpower and material resources, and time has also been greatly consumed.

A death order was given from above, and this mission must be completed within the deadline.

Fang Zhonglei and Li Xiangqian were organized into a commando, and the bandit leader was treacherous and slippery, and the rabbit was cunning.

Fang Zhonglei was young and vigorous at that time, and Li Xiangqian also came out of the PLA Army School. The two of them finally drove the remaining bandits to a dead end.

The bandit leader took out all his net worth in exchange for his own life.

Fang Zhonglei and Li Xiangqian took out their guns at the same time and aimed at him. I wanted to capture him alive, but the man took out a handful of Browning and aimed it at his temple.

Fang Zhonglei shouted: "Don't! ”

Li Xiangqian was about to step forward to snatch it, but the man pointed his gun at Li Xiangqian. He was convinced that the Communists did not want to kill him and wanted to capture him. But he didn't want to be taken prisoner at all.

Li Xiangqian didn't expect that this guy would dare to gamble like this. There is an order from above, no killing, only persuasion or injury.

Fang Zhonglei was in a hurry, and shot the man in the chest. Li Xiangqian was saved, and the bandit leader died.

This mission is complete.

Although Fang Zhonglei shot and killed the man, there was a reason for it. However, both of them were rewarded for their meritorious service.

Fang Zhonglei was born in Jiangmen, and his father and grandfather are all famous generals and famous figures. So this matter was also hyped up, and the whole city knew about it.

When he withdrew from the front, he counted the days, and he could be a father when he went back this time. No matter how big the feats are, how can he be as small as important, and the children who are about to be born, that is the whole of life.

The mood of surprise along the way was unstoppable, and I couldn't wait to put on my wings and fly back.

Li Xiangqian also said on the side: "Hehe, go back and let your wife have a few more, like me." (To be continued.) )
