The busy days go on day by day. Zhang Xiaoqiang prepared all the pastries, salt, and plastic sheeting that Chopper needed, leaving only the hunting tools being made.

The weather entered the hottest time of the year, and the whole compound began to write slogans, and the warriors were in full swing to welcome the returning soldiers. Zhang Xiaoqiang was very happy, she knew that her husband was coming back soon.

When the military truck returned with the heroes wearing big red flowers, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the people who came down one by one, but did not see her husband Li Aobai.

Fang Zhonglei and Li Xiangqian got out of the jeep solemnly, and they forced a smile in the face of the comrades-in-arms and family members who were ceremoniously greeted.

When he withdrew from that place, he got the news that Li Aobai had not been found. Fang Zhonglei really wanted to go to the mountains to search in person, even if he turned over the mountain alone, but he was a commander and the head of an army. Withdraw to the station, must!

Li Xiangqian used radio communication to Commander Liu, so that he would not give up searching. Regiment Commander Liu felt the importance of this small battalion commander to these two commanders. If you don't see a body, you're alive, and if you don't see bad news, it's good news.

If we Chinese can deploy manpower from Harbin City and go deep into the mountains to search and rescue trapped Chinese soldiers, we cannot leave Li Aobai alone. Regiment Commander Liu promised Li Xiangqian again on the radio that he would definitely adjust his thinking and never give up the possibility of his survival.

Commander Liu and his entourage, when searching for Li Aobai, also exterminated the remnants of the enemy army by the way.

When the train started, Fang Zhonglei's eyes never left this place until his eyes couldn't see.

Luo Jinan came to Zhang Xiaoqiang's face. He said to her according to the instructions given by the leader: "Li Aobai's task has not been completed, and it will take a while, so you just need to wait patiently at home." ”

That's a far-fetched statement. Not at all like the usual style. didn't dare to look directly into Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes, and kept dodging.

Zhang Xiaoqiang could see that Luo Jin'an's words were deliberately hidden, she looked at Luo Jinan's eyes and said, "Let me ask you a question, please answer truthfully, did Li Aobai have an accident?" ”

Luo Jinan also thinks in his heart that there is no bad news, that is, his brother is still safe.

He said categorically: "He is safe, on a secret mission." After the mission ends. And he returned. ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang heard Li Aobai's brothers say this, so she believed it. Luo Jinan handed over a small object to Zhang Xiaoqiang, saying that Li Aobai asked him to return a little.

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the Guanyin carved out of wood in his hand. This is what Company Commander Chen gave to Li Aobai.

When Luo Jinan took everyone to look for the place where Li Aobai had an accident, he found this on the ground, and he picked it up. He thought it was a token of Li Aobai and Zhang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing this Guanyin statue, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that what Luo Jinan said was credible.

She placed the statue of Guanyin in the palm of her hand. Then I went home.

Luo Jinan's tears were about to come out. He believed that Li Aobai was fine, just like he got lost in the mountains, and Captain Liu and their people would find him.

He looked at these family members, bringing their families to welcome their men back safely, and some of them were only greeted by a black urn. Then came the earth-shattering cry and the tragic scene.

On the train back, Fang Zhonglei and Li Xiangqian greeted them one by one, if Li Aobai's family asked about Li Aobai. The unified voice is that Li Aobai's task has not been completed, and he continues to stay there.

Zhang Miaohua has been sad. Didn't get a grain of rice for a few days.

When the train arrived at the city of her unit, Zhang Miaohua came to Fang Zhonglei's carriage and said goodbye to the two leaders. She said to Fang Zhonglei: "Chief, I have a request, Li Aobai's final result is dead or alive, you must tell me." ”

After speaking, she did her best to stand upright, saluted a beautiful military salute, and then got out of the car.

Looking at the girl's infatuated back, Li Xiangqian said: "This Zhang Miaohua is also behind the gate, but this baby is not pampered at all in the army, and she is a good seedling." ”

Fang Zhonglei didn't say anything, he said: "Just do what she asks." ”

An Manchu and Liu Dazhi hugged Luo Jin'an in their arms, and they knew that Li Aobai had not come back yet. Luo Jinan didn't tell them the truth, because the matter was not over, and he didn't want to make trouble.

Dazhi said: "Wait for Li Aobai to come back, celebrate well, and drink it to get drunk." ”

Bai Xiaojie and the child also received their husband He Zhigang, and the three of them returned home together.

Wang Yaru didn't go to the scene, she knew that her husband was coming back today, so she was at home, cooked a meal, and waited for Fang Zhonglei's return.

After the welcome ceremony, these soldiers were arranged, and Li Xiangqian said goodbye, and Fang Zhonglei returned home with heavy steps.

The moment Wang Yaru opened the door, she saw her husband's dark and thin appearance, and her heart began to hurt. The moment she threw herself into Fang Zhonglei's arms, she cried.

Fang Zhonglei gently patted his wife's back and said, "Xiaoru, I'm back, you see, standing here completely and healthy." ”

The two hugged each other for a while, and Wang Yaru said, "You go take a bath, I made your favorite meal." ”

Fang Zhonglei smiled, very reluctantly, he walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes, and unscrewed the shower. Bath water sprayed down his head, and he cried. The thoughts and hopes of the past 30 years, when the mystery was revealed, Li Aobai disappeared.

Fate, how can you play with people like this?

Wang Yaru knocked on the door and said, "What's wrong with you, why are you washing so slowly today?" ”

Fang Zhonglei quickly adjusted his mood, and said softly in a magnetic voice: "Xiaoru, it's almost good, don't worry!" I didn't take a shower when I went out this time, for fear of smoking you. ”

Wang Yaru smiled and said, "Okay, you wash a little longer." ”

There were a few dishes on the table, all of which were Fang Zhonglei's favorite flavors.

At this time, the door of the bathroom opened, and Fang Zhonglei walked out wearing household clothes, with the smell of soap wafting all over his body.

Wang Yaru looked at Fang Zhonglei's eyes a little red, and she asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”

Fang Zhonglei said: "Maybe the soap foam went in, it's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”

The two of them sat at the table facing each other, indeed, when Fang Zhonglei and he left more than four months ago, they were completely like two people. The eyes are a little swollen, the lips are chapped, and there are some red and swollen places on the body.

Wang Yaru was thinking in her heart, and she would find some cool oil or something and apply it to it. Cook more delicious food these days to let your husband supplement his nutrition.

Fang Zhonglei's appearance of eating was not as happy as he imagined.

Wang Yaru asked with some curiosity: "Isn't the rice delicious?" Why don't you look like you have an appetite? (To be continued.) )
