Xiao Che knew she had important business to attend to, so she went home quickly.
"Ya Jing, what happened?" He rushed back, and this time he picked up his teacup and drank water in big gulps.
Bai Yajing waited until he finished drinking the water, then briefly told him what Sun Hu had said that day.
"So, I have to go to the military region and ask some of my uncles about what happened between my uncle and Dong Guangming back then."
Xiao Che was also shocked when he first heard the news. His thoughts were similar to those of his grandmother, Ya Jing.
"Alright, let's get going!"
The couple said goodbye to their elders and drove back to the military region.
It was already late, so it wasn't a good time to visit. The two decided to go early the next morning.
The couple got up very early in the morning. Grandpa Xiao had already gone to the military headquarters. He had been very busy lately. Mom and Dad Xiao got up early to make breakfast for them. After the family had eaten, the couple set off.
When I arrived at Commander Zheng's office, he was there, constantly writing and seemed very busy.
However, upon seeing Bai Yajing arrive, he was so pleased that he immediately put down the documents in his hand and led the couple to the reception room to sit down.
"My dear, when you got married, Uncle Zheng was away on a mission in the capital and couldn't be there to see you off! Alas!"
This became his regret!
Bai Yajing presented him with the gift she had prepared, and jokingly said with a smile, "Uncle Zheng, it's alright that you didn't come, but I received all the gifts from you and your uncles! Hahahaha!"
Uncle Zheng, don't be disappointed. Business is important. Come over sometime when you have time, and I'll personally cook some of my best dishes. We can have a good meal and a few drinks!
Upon hearing this, Commander Zheng laughed heartily.
"Okay! It's settled then!" Bai Yajing was like their own child to these brothers. Although there was some regret, they also knew that she would be living in Kyoto in the future, which meant there would be many more opportunities to get together!
"By the way, A-Che is a very busy man. You must have something to tell me. So, what is it?" The uncles and aunts were quite satisfied with Xiao Che. This young man came from a good family, was capable, and had a good personality. They were completely at ease entrusting their niece to him.
If my brother is watching from heaven, he will surely be happy.
Xiao Che smiled and waved his hand, "Ya Jing has something to ask you. I came with her because I was worried something might happen to her."
Commander Zheng was taken aback upon hearing this. "Oh, Nannan, what's wrong?"
Nannan is always a sensible child; she wouldn't be in such a hurry to find his office if it wasn't something important.
Bai Yajing sighed, "Uncle Zheng, do you know Dong Guangming? I heard from Sun Hu that he saw a photo of my uncle, Dong Guangming, and other uncles at Dong Guangming's place. But our family has never known about this. I just want to ask what kind of person Dong Guangming is? Is he close to my uncle?"
When Commander Zheng heard him mention his old friends, he felt a pang of melancholy.
"Hey! I know him. We were all in the same batch when we enlisted. We got along really well back then. This group photo was taken at that time. Old Dong's family wasn't doing well, so we all took good care of him. He's a nice guy, and we all got along very well."
However… after Jianye's sacrifice, he was transferred to the Northwest Military Region. Over the past ten years or so, many of us brothers have either sacrificed our lives or transferred to civilian jobs… Oh, by the way, I heard he was recently transferred back and even joined the Beijing Municipal Government. Hehe, I'm just glad everyone is doing well.”
They were all brothers who had fought alongside him, and he was happy for him.
Bai Yajing and Xiao Che were both a little curious. Commander Zheng's words implied that Dong Guangming was a good person, and the fact that he was able to enlist meant that his identity was not a problem. So how did he end up like this?
"Uncle Zheng, is he... really a good person?" A good person would betray his country? How could that be!
