Bai Xingbang was currently torn between his own conscience and his own desires. It was nothing for him to be waiting in the farmland for support from the army, but such a large plane would be too conspicuous here.

He was originally conducting a test flight, but unexpectedly a malfunction occurred mid-flight. They tried with great difficulty to lower the altitude in order to make the plane land smoothly, but unfortunately, the opposite happened.

The damage to the plane is not too serious at present, and the wings are the most seriously damaged part.

"I'm sorry, comrade. I understand your desire to save national property, but you have to understand that theory and time are two different concepts."

Bai Xingbang has been dealing with airplanes for many years, but he knows what every part of an airplane is, and he doesn't dare to say that he can repair these things.

Knowing and being able to repair something are two different things. Bai Xingbang did not dare to hand over such an important thing to the two educated youths.

There was another problem. Even if Jiang Ye and Lu Zhian repaired the plane, without a pilot, he would not be able to bring the plane back to the base smoothly.

Jiang Ye nodded. He didn't feel sorry. If he was asked to repair it, he would go to the county machinery factory to borrow some tools. If he couldn't, he would go back to harvest in autumn.

Lu Zhian didn't want to do anything with the plane, so the master and disciple expressed their understanding and left.

During the autumn harvest, there was still a lot of work to do in the fields, and Ji Ping couldn't always stay at the plane. Bai Xingbang had clearly rejected their proposal, and the few of them stopped pestering him.

Ji Ping arranged two teenagers of about thirteen or fourteen to follow Bai Xingbang, and asked his wife to prepare food and bedding for Bai Xingbang.

Yao Qiyue felt that what Bai Xingbang said was right. Since Jiang Ye did not insist on repairing the plane, they should finish the assigned work as soon as possible.

South City.

Jiang Jie, who finally returned to Nancheng, returned to Jiang Jia in a mess.

His face was covered with wounds of varying sizes, and his nose and face were swollen like a pig's head. He carefully pulled his hat tighter.

Jiang Ye and Yao Qiyue were too cruel. Even though he was wearing a hat, there were still some scratches on his neck, which looked horrible.

He returned to the Jiang family like a thief, secretly locked himself in the house, and wiped his wounds.

The room was cold and deserted. Looking closely, it was empty with only a simple chair on the floor.

Wu Meiyue moved out all the valuable things in the house when she left. If the house didn't belong to Old Jiang's family, she would have wanted to take them all away.

Jiang Jie smiled self-deprecatingly. He would be alone from now on. After going to Yanjiang Village this time, he became an orphan completely.

After a moment, the smile froze on his face. He didn't know how to explain to his future brother-in-law. He had agreed to bring Jiang Mei here this time, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even invite her when he went to Yanjiang Village in person.

If Jiang Jie didn't want to become related to the commander's family, he wouldn't care how Jiang Mei was doing in the countryside. He would be happier if she wasn't doing well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jie impatiently made the wound on his face even dirtier and more miserable. Anyway, he had already torn his face with Jiang Ye, so there was no need to be soft-hearted towards them.

He made his image even more dismal, and stayed in the house to cheer himself up for a long time before pushing the door open to find his future brother-in-law to explain things.

Zhu Xiande is twenty-five or twenty-six years old this year. He was able to become the director thanks to his good father.

Before 1966, he was also hanging around in the military compound doing nothing. Unexpectedly, his luck suddenly turned this year. Not only did he get a suitable job, but some people also came forward to propose marriage to him.

You know, he used to be the least popular person in the blind date group. It's not that he is ugly, he has a delicate face like a little girl, a thin figure, wears a white shirt, and wears a pair of glasses on his nose.

This appearance is only seen in the army, and he looks weak and fragile. In fact, he is considered good-looking among ordinary people.

Before coming to Nancheng, Zhu Xiande had a lover, but they had to break up due to worldly views and his father's threats.

He also left his hometown far away and came to South City.

He was shocked to see Jiang Jie's appearance. He poured Jiang Jie a cup of hot water and looked at his bruised face. He could no longer see his former handsome face.

Zhu Xiande looked at the ground with some disgust: "How did you get beaten like this? Did something happen?"

When Jiang Jie saw Zhu Xiande's appearance, he grabbed the corner of his clothes guiltily. He didn't want Wu Meiyue to marry Jiang Mei to someone else casually. He really thought Zhu Xiande was a good person and would not look down on him for having a father in prison and would take good care of him.

From time to time, she would invite him to dinner at a state-owned restaurant. Jiang Mei was so ungrateful that she refused such a gentle and patient man without even meeting him.

Jiang Jie gritted his teeth in anger.

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry I didn't bring my sister back."

Zhu Xiande patted Jiang Jie's shoulder comfortingly. The young man was thin and looked more like an abandoned big dog, pitiful.

"Your sister doesn't like me?"

Jiang Jie was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. He had already thought of an excuse along the way: "No, it's just that my sister is in the countryside right now and it's harvest time. Her team leader won't give her any leave, so I thought I'd introduce you to each other after the harvest."

Zhu Xiande glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "How could I have forgotten about the autumn harvest? Xiaojie, your sister is a good girl. National affairs are always more important than personal affairs. Our personal affairs should be put aside for now."

"Don't worry, it'll only take ten days or half a month. I'll have some time off before winter comes, so I can go with you."

"Oh, I have something else to do today, so I won't treat you. I'll take you to a state-owned restaurant for dinner when I have a few days off."

Before leaving, Zhu Xiande did not forget to pat Jiang Jie on the shoulder.

He didn't lie. He really had something to do today. He didn't know what had brought his father and elder brother here, so he had to go to the train station to welcome them.

At Nancheng Railway Station, a group of people had already been waiting in the empty arrival hall.

After the train stopped at the station, a soldier who looked to be in his fifties, wearing a green military uniform and with a straight figure got off the train. Behind him was a young man who looked very similar to him, also in a smart military uniform.

Behind the two of them were several men in military uniforms with extraordinary demeanor.

"Hello, Chief."

The uniform sound echoed throughout the station, and passers-by stopped to watch.

The two of them frowned uncomfortably at the scene caused by Zhu Xiande.

Zhu Xiande walked ahead with a smile and took his eldest brother's arm: "Brother, how did you find time to come to see me with our dad?"

In his memory, his brother Zhu Youde was a very busy man. He had just been promoted to the head of the group and was often on missions. He was rarely seen at home.

He wanted to see Zhu Youde, but it was more difficult than seeing his father, the leader.
