However, before Lu Heng could go to the captain to borrow an ox cart, the troops arrived in a hurry.
It’s Xiao Li.
"Platoon Leader Lu, the troops have an urgent mission, and the regiment commander asked me to ask you to go back and discuss it."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingqing turned around and rushed into the house.
Xiao Li looked worried: Is my sister-in-law angry?
Not long after, Qiao Qingqing came out with a cloth bag.
This cloth bag was made by her own hands. Although it is not beautiful, it is sturdy. She sewed it three times...
"There are some common wound medicines and some dry food in there. Take them with you."
Lu Heng said: "It's not necessary to go on a mission yet."
Qiao Qingqing said calmly: "It's better to be prepared. Come on, I'll go talk to squad leader Qi too."
She could have taken two days off just for the sewing machine.
Who knows that plans are not as good as changes? Now we can only rush to Shanghai Island to find out what happened.
The three of them hurried to the beach and met Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang who were looking for Qiao Qingqing on the way.
When Yao Xiaoman saw this scene, she guessed that she was going to the island and couldn't help wondering: "Sister Qingqing, didn't you say you would rest for a day?"
Qiao Qingqing explained: "Something unexpected happened, so I canceled my vacation. Xiaoman, Lanfang, we'll talk some other day."
"All right."
After they left, Yao Xiaoman pulled Zhou Lanfang aside and muttered, "I wanted to tell Sister Qingqing about the girl I like..."
"Don't worry, we will have plenty of time in the future. Don't disturb Sister Qingqing for now." Zhou Lanfang comforted.
"Well... okay, then let's go find Miaomiao."
"OK."
The two of them went to the captain's house.
After reaching the island, Lu Heng hurriedly followed Xiao Li Qian.
Qiao Qingqing went to the logistics department with ease.
When Squad Leader Qi saw her, he was stunned.
"Advisor Qiao, isn't it a day off? Did I remember the wrong day?"
Qiao Qingqing walked over and lowered her voice: "Captain Qi, I came here with my wife. I heard that there was an urgent mission. I wonder if Captain Qi has heard any news?"
Chief Qi was puzzled and said, "No, even if there is, I, who am in charge of logistics, don't know."
"Oh..." Qiao Qingqing felt slightly disappointed.
Qi Datou followed the principle of "if you are here, don't waste your time", and asked with a chuckle, "Advisor Qiao, I heard you say before that you always have a big catch every time you go out to sea. Now that you are here, can you teach us what the etiquette is for fishing?"
Qiao Qingqing recalled that when she came just now, Squad Leader Qi's face was full of worry.
Hearing him say this, I quickly realized that the fishing boats that came back the other day probably didn't catch much...
Under Qiao Qingqing's questioning, Qi Datou sighed and told the truth.
"Every time we go back, we get the same seafood. We're tired of it. We want to eat some shrimp, but shrimp are not that easy to catch."
Qiao Qingqing thought, aren’t shrimps the easiest to catch?
This sea area is rich in resources, and seafood such as shrimps and crabs are very common and of very good quality.
After all, Qiao Qingqing had gone to sea so many times in her previous life and had enough experience in sea fishing. Even if we put aside the effectiveness of the spiritual spring water, she knew how to sea fishing better than the people under Captain Qi.
So that morning, Qiao Qingqing had been telling Squad Leader Qi about her knowledge in this area.
Squad Leader Qi became more and more interested the more he listened. Afraid that he would not be able to remember, he hurriedly called the people who were in charge of sea fishing at that time to come and listen to the lecture.
It was not until noon that Qiao Qingqing was so exhausted from talking that she only said a small part of the content.
But these alone are enough for them.
Qi Datou was extremely excited, thinking that his chance to avenge his previous shame was about to come.
It was already late and Lu Heng didn't come to pick her up, so Qiao Qingqing simply accepted the invitation of Team Leader Qi and stayed in the logistics department for dinner.
Squad Leader Qi was probably too excited and was talking a lot while eating.
Until Lu Heng arrived.
"Captain Qi, I'm here to take my love home."
When Qiao Qingqing heard the voice, she looked up and saw that half of the food in the lunch box was still left.
"It's Platoon Leader Lu. Don't worry. Advisor Qiao is eating! Have you eaten yet? If not, go get some from the pot yourself!"
The Logistics Department is responsible for logistics, including but not limited to the distribution of allowances and cooking.
So the kitchen is in the yard of the logistics department.
There is a wall between the canteen and the logistics department.
There was no way Lu Heng could interrupt his wife's meal, so after thinking for a moment, he simply took the bowl and chopsticks and went to get a meal.
"What does the captain want to see you for?"
As soon as he sat down, Qiao Qingqing asked in a low voice.
Lu Heng only said one word in a deep voice: "Ning."
Qiao Qingqing suddenly realized!
I came here for the Ning family!
So, Zhao Chujian has found substantial evidence?
This is indeed good news. Qiao Qingqing had asked them to go to Cha Ning's house just to prevent future troubles and to be on the safe side.
However, no one expected the Ning family to be so bold that they had already secretly colluded with enemy spies and began to sell out the interests of the motherland during this period.
Qiao Qingqing thought, fortunately I prepared for a rainy day!
Otherwise, if the Ning family's violence erupts, Lu Heng will definitely be implicated...
Afterwards, Lu Heng told Qiao Qingqing that Zhao Chujianzhi secretly handed over the evidence of the Ning family's crimes he found to the military. The regiment commander attached great importance to it and ordered him to follow this line to dig out the spies behind the scenes, as well as the traitors who cooperated with the Ning family to sell out the country.
"This mission doesn't require me to be too far from home. I will be active in the county town, or at most in the city. It won't take too long. After all, our goal is clear this time. The enemy is in the dark, and we will be able to catch them all in one fell swoop soon."
Lu Heng didn't want to make her worry, so he immediately said that the mission was not dangerous.
Qiao Qingqing knew that she couldn't stop it. Although Commander Chen said that he would not let him go on a mission unless it was urgent, this time Lu Heng had to take action to deal with the Ning family.
This is probably what Commander Chen meant.
He was doing this for Lu Heng's own good.
So Qiao Qingqing nodded and said, "Be careful of your own safety. Don't be careless just because the mission is simple." She still remembered that Fu Ruifang died because he was defenseless against his former good brother. "To deal with the Ning family, you also need to pay attention to Ning Suxiang, Qiao Shan's wife. The child in her belly is not Qiao Shan's. Now that it has been confirmed that the Ning family is a spy, the child in Ning Suxiang's belly may belong to a powerful person."
A spy will not have his own children unless he plans to retire.
The Ning family was obviously still "forging ahead bravely", so Qiao Qingqing had legitimate reasons to suspect that Ning Suxiang was secretly hooking up with an important person of a high status.
"If you can't find any clues elsewhere, try to follow Ning Suxiang."
Lu Heng listened carefully to his wife's instructions and did not underestimate her opinions just because she was an ordinary citizen.
"Okay, I'll keep it in mind."
Lu Heng tucked her hair behind her ears and reluctantly reminded her: "You have to listen to me, eat well and gain some weight. You are too thin."
Qiao Qingqing was silent.
After a while, she asked quietly, "Leaving overnight again?"
Lu Heng was stunned at first.
Then he touched his nose embarrassedly.
"That's not the case. The county town is so close. I'll go with you to the county town every day to get the sewing machine. But I can't come back with you. Let Yao Zhiqing or Zhou Zhiqing accompany you? I remember hearing you say last time that they can ride bicycles, too."
Qiao Qingqing said cheerfully, "That's fine. I haven't been to the city with Xiao Manlanfang for a long time."
When the two men returned to the village, it was just after two o'clock in the afternoon and they went directly to the brigade headquarters.
Sure enough, I found the captain here.
After explaining the purpose of the visit, the team leader readily agreed to lend him people, cars and cows.
Qiao Qingqing also took the opportunity to ask for leave for the two little sisters.
It's not very busy right now. If Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang want to go to the city, it doesn't matter if they don't ask for leave, but it would be better if they could tell the team leader.
After all, they are not like Qiao Qingqing, who holds the position of deputy captain.
After the deal was settled, Qiao Qingqing asked Lu Heng to go home first while she went to find her sisters.
The team leader said that the two of them were at home helping Miaomiao make clothes.
So Qiao Qingqing went directly to the captain's house.
Except for a few insecure educated youth, the courtyard doors of everyone else in the village were open.
When Qiao Qingqing arrived, she saw Aunt Xiumei sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles.
Inadvertently looking up and seeing Qiao Qingqing, Feng Xiumei greeted her warmly: "Qiao Zhiqing is here, what a rare guest! Come in and sit down."
"Aunt Xiumei, are you sewing shoe soles? I'm here to find Miaomiao and the others." Qiao Qingqing walked in while chatting and laughing. At this time, the three girls in the inner room also heard the noise, and finally Zhang Miaomiao hurried out.
"Sister Qiao, why are you here?"
Zhang Miaomiao grinned happily, "Xiaoman and Lanfang said you went to Shanghai Island."
"Yes, but there's nothing on the island. I just went to take a look and came back. What are you three doing?"
Qiao Qingqing looked at the scissors in Zhang Miaomiao's hand with curiosity.
Zhang Miaomiao shook the scissors and said, "Oh, I was just cutting cloth. My baby is due in a few months, and I plan to make two sets of clothes for her. But my craftsmanship is not that good, so Xiaoman and Lanfang were teaching me."
Qiao Qingqing followed her into the room.
Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang were sitting on the bed with cloth on their thighs and needles and thread in their hands.
No wonder they didn’t move, they were “entangled”.
Qiao Qingqing's voice made the room more lively.
"Sister Qingqing, how are you doing with the clothes for my godson and goddaughter? You are a very busy person now. If you don't have time to make them, why don't you give the cloth to Lan Fang and me and we will make them." Yao Xiaoman looked at her with a smile and said.
Before Qiao Qingqing could say anything, Zhang Miaomiao pouted and looked unhappy.
"Okay, you two are biased, aren't you? I just asked you two to do it for me, but you two kept trying to refuse. But you insisted on doing it for Sister Qiao's child."
Zhang Miaomiao lowered her head and touched her belly, "Baby, look at your two godmothers. They are partial to your brother and sister from godmother Qiao's family. It's really abominable."
In fact, it is hard to say which one of Qiao Qingqing’s and Zhang Miaomiao’s children is older. It’s just that Lu Heng and Qiao Qingqing got married first, so Zhang Miaomiao designated their children as "brother and sister."
