Chapter 87 Temporary Mission

Xu Jiaojiao took every step carefully and shouted at the door, "Mom, open the door quickly!"

Xia Le came out and opened the door. Seeing the golden thing in Su Le's hand, he asked, "Where did you get it from?"

Xu Jiaojiao said anxiously, "Let me in first, I'm afraid I'll get hurt!"

Xia Le quickly made way, and Xu Jiaojiao carefully walked in and placed it on the stone table. Xu Sheng observed it carefully, "It's so beautiful, with fine workmanship. It's much better than the one your mother prepared for you. Is this from Lele?"

Xu Jiaojiao just nodded, and Xu Sheng touched it. When he saw the gold bracelet, he was about to bite it. Xu Jiaojiao was terrified, "Dad, what are you doing! Let go! Don't break it!"

Xu Sheng said, "Pure gold!" Xia Le and Xu Sheng glanced at each other. Xu Jiaojiao was still wiping the saliva off her mouth, carefully examining the spot where Xu Sheng had bitten her. Xia Le took thirty goldfish from the hidden compartment under the bed in the room and placed them in a box.

"Jiaojiao, take this to Lele." Xia Le held the box and handed it to Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao carefully put all the things into her room and closed the door. She glared at Xu Sheng and said, "Dad, don't touch my jewelry!" Then she took the box and said, "Mom, this is too heavy! What is this thing?"

Xia Le gave her a warning look and said, "Send it over, don't ask, and don't open it. Just go."

Xu Jiaojiao shrank her neck, walked to the Su family compound, and knocked on Su Le's room. "My mother asked me to give it to you."

Su Le took it and it was really heavy. It looked like it was made of gold. "Okay, I've packed the dress for you. Take it."

Xu Jiaojiao nodded, and stretched her neck to see if Su Le had opened it. Su Le put it away with a smile and closed the cabinet. Xu Jiaojiao had no choice but to leave.

Su Le closed the door, opened it and took a look. He counted the goldfish and found there were thirty of them. He quickly put them into the space.

Meimei entered the space and looked at her gold. She had countless gold, but unfortunately she couldn't take it out. She had to wait until the reform and opening up in the future.

Li Zichen and Su Xiao took a leave of absence and decorated the room, decorating it according to Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao's preferences. They also specially prepared a set of red quilt covers and replaced the table in the room with a dressing table similar to ancient times. The chairs and cabinets were also replaced.

The army also has a red carpet that they can borrow when they get married.

Everything is being prepared according to plan.

Five days before the wedding, Xu Hu and Xu Changsheng distributed wages to everyone. Thirty-three people received 35, Zhang Yi received 40, Zhang Liang received 45, Yu Jie received 45, Xu Changsheng received 45, Wang Ming received 45, Li Xian received 45, and Zhang Jing received 45. 1465 was distributed all at once. The embroidery workshop paid 25 per person per day, so the monthly expenditure was 1490.

Xu Hu returned to the study with the money box and counted the pitiful amount of money left. "Sister Le, after paying the salary of 1490, and paying the utilities of 10, I still have 3000 left, not counting the odds and ends."

Su Le nodded. "You're making 300. Bring Jiang Liang 600 tomorrow. Jiaojiao, this is yours, 750. I'm making 1350. We're making a profit. Take it slow, and we'll make more money later. We have enough staff now, so we can open the shoe store next month."

"Okay!" Xu Hu and Xu Jiaojia nodded together.

"Thank you for your hard work. We have some things to do. On the fifth day of next month, we will give everyone half a day off for a banquet. We will treat everyone to a wedding banquet. It is not convenient for us to take you there in the army," Su Le said to Xu Hu.

Xu Hu nodded. "I know, they'll understand. Don't worry, we'll just open it in the yard next door."

Su Le nodded.

The political commissar found Li Zichen and said, "Come with me."

Li Zichen followed the political commissar into the regimental commander's office. The political commissar hesitated for a moment, then sighed and finally spoke out, "We have a small team in Country F conducting technical exchanges with other countries. Now there is a war there, and the special forces have sent a small team. Five of them are injured, and the ammunition supply is low. Headquarters has chosen to send you to lead a company for a rescue operation. I understand that you are about to have your wedding, but no one in the entire army can fight you in single combat. Your regiment is also the strongest in the army. We can only send one company. Can you do it?"

Li Zichen saluted, "I promise to complete the mission."

The commissar patted him on the shoulder. "Go pick some men. Leave now. Don't tell anyone. I'll announce to your regiment that you're going to do training."

Li Zichen nodded. "Understood."

After the political commissar left, Li Zichen sat on the chair, looking at the photo of him holding his head with one hand. He silently said, "Wait for me to come back." Then he began to write his name.

They were called out one by one. Su Xiao looked at Li Zichen and seemed to have guessed something. He ran over quickly and said, "Report!"

Li Zichen said to everyone, "Get in the car." Everyone got on the car quickly and in an orderly manner.

Su Xiao held him back, "Come back safely! Lele is still waiting for you!"

Li Zichen nodded, turned around and got into the car. Several cars drove away with a roar, leaving only exhaust fumes.

After a day of driving, a helicopter came to pick them up. A group of people got on the plane. Li Zichen asked the company commander to collect some identity proof from everyone, something that represented the country.

"This mission is to rescue our technical team, who are our country's high-tech talents. Only success is allowed, not failure. Also, I don't want to attend your memorial service when I come back. Do you understand?" Li Zichen said seriously.

"clear!"

"Rest now! The next few days will be a tough battle. Everyone, give me 200% mental strength! Rest!"

"yes!"

Li Zichen closed his eyes, his mind full of images of Su Le wearing different clothes.

After half a day's flight, everyone boarded a warship and arrived at the edge of Country F at night. "We'll be waiting for you here! Come back safely!"

Li Zichen saluted, and everyone walked to the shore. Li Zichen turned on the flashlight and shone it on the map. The place marked with an x ​​was where the technicians were.

Everyone walked in that direction. There was a continuous battle ahead. Li Zichen made a gesture and everyone hid. They could clearly see that the regular army was no match for the rebels and that the street would soon fall. Li Zichen turned around and changed direction. Everyone followed him.

After passing from behind the regular army, the street ahead had been occupied by the rebels, who were searching every house as if they were looking for someone. Li Zichen's eyes turned cold, as they were targeting their technicians.

Everyone hid in the dark and dealt with the people who were searching the building. The rebels downstairs did not receive the message and gathered around.

Li Zichen and his men could only crouch in the dark of the building. As the number of rebels grew, they all tightened their grip and loaded their guns. Li Zichen gestured to the group behind him, and two groups of men descended from another part of the building and made their way out.

The rebels began to go upstairs. The two teams found cover on both sides and shot at the rebels below. More than 20 rebels were killed at once, and the others began to look for cover.

Li Zichen and his men dealt with the people who went upstairs, and then began to go downstairs and snipe at the rebels from the front, forming a semi-encirclement.
