Chapter 145 Your smile is so beautiful, don't smile like that next time.

Such important news should naturally be conveyed to Song Zhan by Commander Liang.

Xu Dong was so happy that he couldn't distinguish between the two kings for a moment.

Upon hearing both good and bad news, Song Juan, Shen Wanjun, and Huang Ya gathered around.

Seeing that Liang Yi remained silent for a long time, Shen Wanjun asked anxiously, "What's the bad news?"

Between the good news and the bad news, she chose to hear the bad news first.

Good times and bad times are both like a rollercoaster ride; it's better to fall to the bottom first, and then climb back up to blossom and bear fruit.

Liang Yi gestured to Political Commissar Hao to speak, and Hao Mei said to Song Zhan with regret, "Battalion Commander Song, the bad news is that the higher-ups are still insisting on transferring you to a different post."

"So you are no longer the battalion commander, and you can no longer live here."

Song Juan's eyes reddened: "How could this happen? Even the report from the county hospital isn't enough?"

Her brother's misfortune was entirely undeserved.

God knows how much she wanted to stay here.

Huang Ya secretly blamed himself, it was all his fault.

It's his fault for not getting the approval for Song Zhan's re-examination in time; otherwise, none of this would have happened.

Shen Wanjun sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, Political Commissar Hao and Regiment Commander Liang."

The decision made above has nothing to do with them; it's already quite commendable that they're willing to help Song Zhan.

Song Zhan said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go deliver the wild boar first."

Song Juan asked in surprise, "Brother, you still have the mood to send a wild boar?"

Is her brother made of iron? How come he doesn't look sad at all?

Huang Ya guessed that he probably swallowed his grievances, because as a soldier, obedience is in his nature.

No matter how bitter or tiring it was, he could only endure it. Song Zhan was not a person who showed his emotions.

Huang Ya reached out and patted Song Zhan on the shoulder: "Brother, if you want to drink, I'll keep you company."

He wasn't very good at comforting men, but there's not much to comfort between men anyway.

Drinking, eating, and enjoying the breeze can help you overcome any difficult hurdle.

The most important thing between men is companionship.

Shen Wanjun knew that Song Zhan was just an introverted person who liked to shoulder everything alone.

She's always strong during the day, but only occasionally at night will she hold him with red eyes and murmur a few words about her grievances.

She looked at Xu Dong: "Battalion Commander Xu, congratulations!"

Xu Dong was a little flattered and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Song Zhanchao nodded to Xu Dong: "You've finally gotten your reward after all your hardships."

Upon hearing the phrase "after hardship comes happiness," Xu Dong burst into tears.

Song Zhan meant that he deserved the position of battalion commander!

Seeing Xu Dong silently wiping away tears, Hao Mei asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Dong: "You don't understand men's affairs."

Hao Mei: "Hehe."

She really didn't understand that what Xu Dong received was not just a word of affirmation from Song Zhan, but also an affirmation of his years of hard work.

God knows that his relentless training and self-improvement were driven by a deep desire to gain Song Zhan's approval.

He had never intended to replace Song Zhan, and the current situation was completely unexpected.

No one expected that Song Zhan would be injured during a mission, and so seriously.

When one person cries, everyone feels a little bad.

Hao Mei nudged Liang Yi with her elbow: "The bad news is over, now it's time for the good news."

If she didn't say anything, she was afraid these people would burst into tears.

She won't know who to comfort first.

Liang Yi coughed, and everyone looked at him, wondering what the good news was.

Song Zhan's battalion commander position was taken by someone else, and his house was also taken away.

Song Juan couldn't think of any good news that could ease her current distress.

Huang Ya thought the organization would take care of Song Zhan and perhaps approve a small house for him again.

Given the current situation, this is indeed good news.

Song Zhan estimated that the organization would delay his appointment to the new position, as his wife was pregnant and needed someone to take care of her.

Being able to spend more time with his wife is good news for him.

Shen Wanjun guessed that the organization must have rewarded him with something.

Song Zhan has suffered so much, he deserves a reward.

Urged on by the crowd, Liang Yi finally spoke up: "Comrade Song Zhan, you are no longer the battalion commander."

Um... didn't Hao Mei just say that?

Is it necessary to repeat bad news twice, like hitting someone twice in a row?

Song Zhan didn't want to listen anymore and turned to leave.

Liang Yi stopped him and said, "Now you're the regimental commander!"

"Commander?" Song Zhan asked, still somewhat doubtful. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Liang Yi: "Do I look like I'm lying?"

Liang Yi has a very serious appearance, and he speaks and acts in a very serious manner.

Judging from his expression, he really doesn't seem to be lying.

Shen Wanjun, as if remembering something, asked, "Is it because of the last time we rescued trafficked women and children?"

Liang Yi nodded and said to Song Zhan, "Your wife is really smart."

Song Zhan, carrying two pigs, stood there stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

This is true!

He gave Liang Yi a simple, honest smile.

Liang Yi: You have a really nice smile, but don't smile like that next time.

Shen Wanjun hugged Song Zhan tightly: "Husband, you're amazing."

The rough-around-the-edges man has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel; everything will get better and better in the future.

The crowd's emotions went through a rollercoaster ride, which was exactly the result Liang Yi had been trying to achieve by keeping them in suspense.

Song Juan covered her mouth; she simply couldn't process this good news all by herself.

She turned around and hugged Shen Wanjun, "Sister-in-law, sob sob sob..."

Her brother has had a tough time, but thankfully the country and the organization haven't forgotten him and have given him the honor he deserves.

Huang Ya also excitedly joined the large group of people hugging.

Shen Wanjun, Song Juan, and Huang Ya were nestled in Song Zhan's arms.

The scene was so comical that Liang Yi, Hao Mei, and Xu Dong were completely stunned.

Song Zhan wanted to push Huang Ya away; all he wanted was to hold his sweet and soft wife.

You can hug your little sister too.

But Huang Ya wouldn't do that; what's the point of hugging two grown men?

But with two pigs on his shoulders, he couldn't free his hands to push Huang Ya.

He could only sigh helplessly. Oh well, he was in a good mood today, so he wouldn't hold it against him.

He has to try to accept the partner his sister has chosen.

Seeing the four people embracing each other, reluctant to part, Hao Mei really didn't want to disturb them.

But before she could finish speaking, she added, "I have more good news, would you like to hear it?"

Upon hearing more good news, Huang Ya excitedly asked, "Is it about me?"

He did participate in rescuing abducted women and children, so there's no reason why the organization should only remember Song Zhan and not him.

Song Juan: "Political Commissar Hao, please speak quickly."

Don't beat around the bush like Commander Liang did.

Her fragile heart couldn't handle too much emotional fluctuation.

Liang Yi spoke slowly, which piqued everyone's interest.

Hao Mei is an impatient person; she will speak up even if Song Juan doesn't ask.

"Comrade Song Zhan, you are now the regimental commander, you can't live in this house anymore."

"So the organization has granted you a special permission to have a large courtyard."

He pointed to the opposite side of his house: "Look, it's right there, a detached house with a yard and six rooms."

Hao Mei was very envious. Liang Yi had been the regimental commander for a long time, and under the previous policy, the maximum number of rooms one could apply for was a four-bedroom house.

Now that the policies are better, our family missed out, but Song Zhan did.

Shen Wanjun exclaimed in surprise, "That's wonderful!"

"Next time my uncle comes, he'll have a place to stay."

He was thinking about when to invite his aunt to come and stay for a few days.

If possible, she hopes her maternal grandparents can come along too.

I haven't seen them for several months, and I miss them terribly.

Song Juan immediately reminded Song Zhan of something she was thinking of.

"Brother, we can't let Mom and Dad know about this."

If those two knew that Song Zhan got a big house, they would definitely bring their whole family to live there.

At that point, not only her brother and sister-in-law, but even she herself will be driven crazy by the annoyance.
