The transfer order arrived at Commander Gu's office two days later. That evening, Huo Haocheng told Ruan Ruan about it after returning home.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" she asked him during dinner.
"Yes, we'll be leaving tomorrow morning. This mission involves people all over the country, so we can't be sure when we'll be back. While I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself and the baby."
Previously, when Commander Gu said that he would be in charge of picking her up, he felt very proud. But now, when it was really time to leave, he felt that he didn't want to leave her at all. He was worried about whether she would be okay alone at home. What if she encountered any trouble or had to do some physical work by herself? Would she be unhappy or overthink things if he wasn't by her side?
If Ruan Ruan knew what Huo Haocheng was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes at him.
The mushrooms in the mountains are growing perfectly now, and she wants to go mushroom picking. Before, she hesitated to go up the mountain because Huo Haocheng was at home. If Huo Haocheng found out when she came back, he would definitely be angry, and she didn't want to see him angry, so she had been restraining herself from going. Now that she knows he will be gone for so long, she will go secretly. By the time he comes back, the mushrooms will have already been dried and put away. He usually doesn't look for them, so as long as she doesn't say anything, she shouldn't be discovered.
"Don't worry, I'm staying home and can't run away. Besides, Grandma and Mom will be here in a few days, so what are you worried about? But you, be careful while you're out and about. Even though this is just a mission to pick people up, you might encounter something on the way, so you all need to be careful, okay?"
Although the transfer order has been issued, they all know that this time they are really going against the Digital Gang. Although they won't say anything on the surface, who knows what they might do in private.
This time, Ruan Ruan has truly offended those people. They had just sent the people down, and in the blink of an eye, Ruan Ruan led the way to bring them back. Isn't this a blatant slap in their face? So, it's easy to imagine that those people won't let this go.
"Don't worry, we know what's important. As long as you're okay, we don't need to worry about you."
Hearing his wife say that, Huo Haocheng felt at ease as long as she didn't go out. Just as she said, his grandmother and third aunt would be coming over in a few days, and Gu Jingming would also be on vacation. With him there, he didn't need to worry.
"Okay, eat up. Once you're done, go pack your bags. Make sure you bring plenty of money and tickets with you this time. Oh, right, I forgot the kitten is still out there."
She had originally wanted him to bring the kitten along, but then she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, after Huo Haocheng and the others had spent several nights cleaning up the wild boar meat they had brought back during their training, the kitten had gone out to distribute the meat to the people who had been sent down to the countryside.
"Oh, this capable little kitten, I really feel so sorry for him."
Actually, what Ruan Ruan wanted to say was that she was probably the most leisurely one among the transmigrators. Not only was her husband helping her all the time, but even her grandfathers and maternal grandfathers were doing everything they could to help her complete her mission. Not to mention, she also had a capable system.
Sometimes she wondered what the point of her being here was. Even without her, with the kitten and Huo Haocheng there, they could protect those people just fine.
Seeing his wife's sigh, if she had stopped smiling, he might have actually believed her.
"It's okay, just cook him lots of good food when he gets back."
Joking aside, they had to admit that having the kitten made things much easier for them, so it was only right to treat him to something nice.
"Yes, you're right. When he comes back, cook him something delicious. This glorious and great task is entrusted to you."
Just thinking about how she would be three months old when they returned from this mission, which would be July, and that her grandmother and mother would come to visit, would allow them to go out together and see the scenery of Yuncheng.
"Okay, I'll do the work, and my wife can supervise."
The couple chatted for a while, then rested after dinner. Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Haocheng had packed his luggage. In addition to two sets of military uniforms, they also brought a set of clothes they usually wore. He kept the money and tickets that Ruan Ruan had given him inside the inner layer of his military uniform.
After checking everything, the two got into the car and went to sleep.
The next morning, before morning training even started, Huo Haocheng packed his bag and left. As he left, he whispered something in his wife's ear, kissed her forehead, and then went to rejoin the main group.
Because this mission was quite demanding, in terms of personnel allocation, in addition to all the personnel of the Independent Regiment, Huo Haocheng also requested that Sun Hongxin and the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment come to assist them in completing the mission.
The members of the Independent Regiment were divided into two groups, each consisting of two members from the First Battalion, forming a team of four. Each team was assigned to a different location across the country. The transfer order included a total of 20 people, not including their families.
When assigning places, Huo Haocheng also made the assignments based on the individual abilities of the soldiers during training. Among them were soldiers from their hometowns. Huo Haocheng directly assigned these people to his own units so that even if they could not stay at home for a long time, they could still alleviate their homesickness.
As for the rest of them, their hometowns were mostly in Beijing, so they naturally couldn't go back. Therefore, when making arrangements, Huo Haocheng directly assigned them to the farthest regions, the Northeast and the Northwest.
When they received the task list, they cursed under their breath, but they showed their obedience by doing their jobs.
After receiving their mission orders, soldiers from the logistics department drove them to the train station. Of course, there were also options for nearby stations. The mission assigned to Gu Jinghe this time was very close, in a place called Xiangshui Commune under a city in Guizhou Province, only a few hundred kilometers away from Liyun City. If he drove, he could pick up the person in a day and a night if he traveled overnight. Alternatively, they could take the train, which would also take a day.
Huo Haocheng arranged for him to stay in the nearest place because his wife is several months pregnant, so that he can take care of his family when he comes back.
Huo Haocheng took Deng Yi and two other soldiers to the Northwest, while Ruan Shaoke and Bai Sirui went to the Northeast.
After Huo Haocheng left, no one woke Ruan Ruan up for breakfast every day, so she resumed her old routine, sleeping until noon. After lunch, she would go up the mountain alone with a basket on her back to pick mushrooms. She knew her own schedule very well; she would get sleepy around 3 p.m. at the latest and needed to sleep then. But if she ate lunch and went to sleep, she would probably sleep until 5 or 6 p.m., so she might as well go out after lunch and come back to sleep when she felt sleepy around 2 p.m.
In this way, she picked up the mushrooms and went to sleep.
