It would be a long story to explain why Suihe retired from the army.
Suihe and Li Yichen are not in the same team, but they are in the same special brigade. The people in this team are carefully selected from thousands of people.
There is a small group of young people in our country who carry out special tasks that ordinary people can't imagine all year round. Although the outside world knows that the world is peaceful now, this small group of people will be sent to many places to carry out various special tasks.
Because of their protection, our country will be more stable.
The team now has fourteen members. It used to be ten, but two of them died, leaving us short on manpower for missions. At the end of last year, the organization added six more members. These individuals can't go on missions directly after joining the team; that's the rule. Everyone must train together, align with each other, and develop a rapport before they can go on missions.
Also because I have no tasks recently, I was able to apply for the allowance to go home for the New Year.
After the Chinese New Year, when Suihe was returning to the army from Shanghai, he stopped by the home of a fallen comrade to visit his comrade's parents. Unexpectedly, he saw a scene that made him angry.
The mother of the fallen comrade was tied up in the yard. It was just after the Lunar New Year, before the arrival of spring, and it was freezing cold. The old woman was tied up like a dog, lying on the straw without even a blanket covering her. Suihe's head nearly exploded at the sight, his rage reaching a fever pitch. He turned and went inside to see the wife of the fallen comrade sitting in the warmth with a middle-aged man. The two children were nowhere to be seen.
The deceased comrade's wife, Huang Xiaoju, is 31 years old this year. She was 27 when he died, and they have two children. His parents were still alive when he died, but after learning of his death, his father's health began to deteriorate, and he passed away within six months, leaving behind only his elderly mother, his daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren.
Because it was a special mission that could not be made public, many of the conditions for applying for it were not met according to the policy, so some subsidies were not eligible. This resulted in the entire family, with the elderly and children being left alone, and all the burdens of life fell on Huang Xiaoju.
The situation was similar for another comrade's family. This comrade had recently married, and his child was less than a year old when he died. His wife, Liu Xiangxiang, was still young. His parents were still young, and his mother was able to help his wife with the child, while his father was able to find odd jobs to help his wife share the burden of life. Furthermore, his family was large, with many relatives who would not neglect them. Therefore, Liu Xiangxiang's family faced much less pressure than Huang Xiaoju's.
Suihe had spent almost nothing during his years in the military, living and eating in the army. Every month, his aunt would send him an oversized package. He had more clothes than he could wear year-round, and almost everyone in the squad wore new clothes, just like the captain. Special missions paid slightly higher wages, and his grandfather, father, second, third, fourth uncles, and aunts would give him money whenever they met. As a result, Suihe had accumulated a considerable amount of savings.
After his comrades died, Suihe applied for subsidies many times but received no approval. Because the funds allocated to their families were so insignificant, and as their captain, Suihe felt obligated to take care of them, he took out all his savings and gave them to the families of his two fallen comrades. He also mailed the savings twice a year.
When the accident happened, the comrades also pooled some money to give to the families of the fallen comrades, but they were all children of ordinary people, and they had to send their army allowances home. Few of them had families as well-off as Suihe, so the money they could give was limited. Over the years, Suihe had to support himself almost everything.
But it’s good for one year, good for two years, but it’s not the same after a few years.
Today, there was a surprise attack, and it was discovered that Huang Xiaoju dared to tie up her comrade's mother.
