"Sister Dongmei, what are you looking at?"

Yan Xiaoyu discovered that ever since she saw Captain Zhang's son, Gao Dongmei's eyes seemed to be glued to the young man.

Even though the other person had already entered the inner room, Gao Dongmei's eyes were still fixed on the door.

"Oh? It's okay, I just think the boy looks quite energetic."

Gao Dongmei withdrew her gaze and smiled embarrassedly.

Yan Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and roughly understood what Gao Dongmei was thinking.

"Auntie, have some melon seeds and candy."

Zhang Shuguang placed several kinds of nuts and White Rabbit milk candies on the coffee table, and gave the small bag filled with snacks to his sister to carry on her body.

"Sister Su Hong, this is your eldest son, right? He looks so energetic. He came here with you this time. Is he planning to join the army?"

The troops stationed in southern Xinjiang guard the border. The military region only has its own elementary and junior high schools, but no high schools.

"Sister-in-law Dongmei, this is my eldest son, his name is Zhang Shuguang, he has already started working.

When my son was in school, his academic performance was always very good. If it weren't for his father, he would have no problem getting into university.

When I went undercover in the south, the external publicity was that I had defected to northern Myanmar, and our family's situation began to plummet.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my two sisters-in-law. Even though Xiangnan has been a soldier for so many years, the family has not saved a penny.

My son stopped going to school and started working with me and my parents-in-law.

To make matters worse, the family was already in financial difficulty, and then they were hit by three years of natural disasters. Not only was there no food, but even wild vegetables were not available.

After the production team paid the public grain tax, there was no food left. What was the point of earning more work points?

In order to survive, my father-in-law stopped my mother-in-law and Xiaoguang from working and went to the mountains to look for food all day.

Xiaoguang is also hardworking and has real abilities. Despite the reputation of being the son of a traitor, he managed to find a way to survive and found a job as a purchasing agent in our local machinery factory, a real cadre position.

After Xiaoguang started working, he not only supported the whole family, but also provided great help to our relatives.

The greatest fortune in my life is not marrying an officer, but raising such a wonderful son."

When someone asked about her eldest son, Su Hong couldn't help but praise him, her tone full of pride.

"Mom, you chat with the two ladies. I'll take my sister out for a walk."

His mother praised him so much in front of the two aunts whom he met for the first time. Even though Zhang Shuguang had lived two lives, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"My child, what I said is the truth. What are you embarrassed about? Don't run away. Come back soon."

Looking at her eldest son's fleeing back, Su Hong smiled.

"Big sister, you've worked hard these past few years."

Gao Dongmei and Yan Xiaoyu have been with the army for many years, and they know everything about Zhang Xiangnan's undercover work in northern Myanmar.

"Sister, the army is the army, and confidentiality is really strict.

At that time, Captain Zhang was still a battalion commander, and his defection to northern Myanmar caused a sensation.

I asked Lao Lei whether Captain Zhang was really a traitor, and he said he didn't know.

The division headquarters said it was a defection, which I think is not wrong. To be honest, I scolded Captain Zhang a lot at that time.

It was not until three years later that Commander Zhang finally won the trust of the defeated army and figured out all of its troop deployments and firepower configurations.

He took the risk of spreading the news, and cooperated with the main force to wipe out the defeated army at the lowest cost.

Only then did everyone realize that the traitor was actually the greatest hero.”

Yan Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed when she thought about how she had scolded Zhang Xiangnan before.

"Sister-in-law, Xiangnan also explained to me that the reason for making such an announcement is mainly because they are worried that there are still remnants of enemy spies in the country.

This explanation is a kind of protection for Xiangnan and also a kind of protection for our family."

The days of hardship have passed. Su Hong can calmly recount the past events that she cannot bear to recall, and she also understands the organization's decision.

"Our Lao Zheng has praised Captain Zhang more than once, saying that he is brave, resourceful, and calm.

The dangers of being an undercover agent are no less than those of the underground work back then, and ordinary people simply can't do it."

Gao Dongmei said admiringly.

"Sister-in-law, drink some water. If you don't drink the honey water, it will get cold."

Faced with Gao Dongmei's praise, Su Hong felt that no matter how she responded, it would be inappropriate.

She followed in the praise, and always felt like she was bragging about her own stuff, but she really thought her man was very capable and didn't want to say anything against her will.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoguang sent you here. Do you plan to follow in your father's footsteps and join the army, or do you plan to go back to work?"

Gao Dongmei continued to inquire about Zhang Shuguang.

"We haven't discussed this. My son is a child with his own ideas. No matter what decision he makes, I, as his mother, will support him.

All I know is that before coming here, Xiaoguang went to the factory to resign, but the factory did not agree and kept his position for him, allowing him to go back to work whenever he wanted.

At present, my son probably has no plans to join the army. Of course, nothing is absolute in this world. Who knows, in a few days, Xiaoguang may be influenced by the environment and suddenly want to join the army.

I can’t say anything about Xiangnan’s future, but I am quite confident in my son.

Whether he goes back to work, joins the military, or even continues his studies elsewhere, I believe my son will be fine."

Su Hong was embarrassed to praise her man, but she was very clear about praising her son.

When the eldest son rose to prominence, the family's situation could not be described as difficult; it would not be an exaggeration to say it was in a desperate situation.

Despite such a difficult situation, the eldest son was able to rise up and support the entire family.
