Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Report
Lin Yue's coughing gradually stopped. Wang Tingting touched her forehead and asked, "Why are you coughing so hard? Do you have a cold?"
Zhang Yuandong cleared his throat and said to Captain Sun, "Go home and pack your things tonight. We will set out at five tomorrow morning."
Sun Fangqing said "yes", said hello to Lin Yue, and left with the child in his arms. The little grey dog was swaying in the child's arms, trying to escape, but was caught by the little master every time.
Zhang Yuandong had been on missions frequently before, but this was his first time here. Lin Yue looked over at him curiously, wanting to ask something, but was afraid of involving confidential information so he didn't dare to ask.
Zhang Yuandong guessed what she was thinking, but he didn't say anything, and motioned for them to go inside to talk. Wang Tingting saw this and knew it was inconvenient for her to be there, so she took Sisi to her room.
Zhang Yuandong held out his hand and explained, "I am going to patrol the border. This is no secret. You stay. I will be gone at an undetermined time this time. This is a good opportunity to explain things to you."
They are a border defense force and have the mission of guarding the border. Lin Yue was well prepared for this. I wonder what he wants to tell them so carefully. Lin Yue and Wang Tingting looked at each other and followed Zhang Yuandong into the house.
After they sat down, Zhang Yuandong pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke. He did not mention going to the border, but talked about something else: "I am not in the camp. You should try not to get involved in Captain Kong's affairs."
Lin Yue had talked about this with Zhang Yuandong before, but she was still surprised that he would bring it up at this time. As if knowing her doubts, Zhang Yuandong quickly continued.
"Kong Dewen applied for a divorce from his team a few days ago, citing a breakdown in his relationship with his wife. His wife's parents were labeled as feudal, capitalist, and revisionist and were sent down to the countryside. He thought the divorce was a sure thing, but an anonymous tip-off was received from the higher-ups."
Speaking of being demoted, he glanced at Wang Tingting's face obscurely. Seeing that she had no other reaction, he continued, "Kong Dewen's Yue family is in a special situation. They used to be red capitalists and had favors for Kong Dewen's parents. Kong Dewen asked for a divorce when Yue's family was in decline. Although he cannot be criticized for this, it will be impossible for him to move up in the future. What's more, the report letter also mentioned his affairs with Liu Ying. Now both of them will be investigated."
A delicate and melancholy figure flashed through Lin Yue's mind, and she subconsciously felt that the incident of reporting the news should be related to Wang Fang.
Wang Tingting's eyes widened, she looked at Zhang Yuandong and then at Lin Yue, she didn't expect to hear such news. She only heard Lin Yue say that Liu Ying was a bad person and asked her to stay away from Liu Ying, but she didn't expect that Liu Ying would have something to do with Captain Kong. In this day and age, the problem of work style is a big problem, and the two of them are really brave.
But she was concerned about something else. "If it is found out that the two of them really had something going on, what will Wang's wife do? Will she still force them to divorce?"
Wang Fang's situation was different from her own. Her father was sent down to the countryside, but it had nothing to do with her. However, Wang Fang's parents were labeled "feudal, capitalist, and revisionist", so as long as she returned to her hometown, she would definitely be the target of persecution.
Zhang Yuandong said helplessly: "If there is really something, then these two people will definitely be punished. As for whether to divorce or not, that is the couple's own business. The army will mediate, but will not force the two to not divorce." He knew that Wang Tingting understood, but she was just thinking of herself and was unwilling to give up.
Lin Yue said hurriedly: "Well, we shouldn't get involved in other people's affairs. You specifically told us this, is it serious?"
Zhang Yuandong looked a little serious and nodded, "Well, there is one thing that I just found out recently. A few years ago, the prisoner who escaped from prison was not only Zhang Xiaohui, but also Miss Zhou. A few days ago, Liu Fang called and said that he had found Miss Zhou's whereabouts. Among the people nearby at the time was Liu Ying. If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have known about so many reports."
Lin Yue was shocked. She didn't have much contact with Miss Zhou, but she had a deep impression of her. She also knew that she was one of the leaders of the organization. She didn't expect that she had escaped as well. It seemed that there must be a traitor inside.
Zhang Yuandong looked at her and said slowly, "The results of the investigation have not come out yet. I don't know if Liu Ying has mentioned you and me to Miss Zhou and others. If she said something, I'm afraid you will be in danger. You should not leave the camp for the time being. And you should be careful in the hospital. You are about to give birth, so you should rest at home and don't go to the hospital recently."
Wang Tingting also became nervous and kept asking, "Stop playing tricks on me. What action? What jailbreak? Tell me clearly!"
Lin Yue patted her on the back and soothed her, "Don't think too much. I will talk to you slowly about this tonight."
Wang Tingting grabbed her hand tightly. She had a lot of worries in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud.
Seeing that both of them were so nervous, Lin Yue pretended to smile and said, "You don't have to worry so much. You don't know what I am capable of. Don't worry! Tingting, don't go to work recently. Your brother is right. Anyway, you are going to give birth in less than a month, so you can just rest at home."
Wang Tingting knew that Lin Yue didn't want her to worry, so she deliberately said angrily: "Who is my brother? I don't have a brother!"
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's not brother, it's brother-in-law, okay!"
With her deliberate effort to ease the atmosphere, the faces of several people finally looked much better. Zhang Yuandong was still very worried, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he secretly calculated in his heart how to solve this matter quickly.
After dinner, Lin Yue helped Zhang Yuandong pack up. Actually, there was nothing to pack. They never took too much stuff with them when they went on a mission. Two sets of clothes and a set of toiletries were enough.
Lin Yue thought of the call he made to Wan Li in the morning and asked Zhang Yuandong, "Did your uncle call you today? I called him today and Wan Li said he wanted to stay there for a few more days."
Zhang Yuandong nodded. "Yes, those kids were playing wildly there. But it's okay to let them stay there for a few more days. You don't have to worry about their safety. I'll pick them up when I come back from my shift."
Lin Yue was not too worried about Ling Ling and Wan Li. The two children were grown up and she didn't need to worry too much. But she was worried about Xiao Mushroom. After all, he was only two and a half years old. He had been away from his mother for so long. If he hadn't been comforted by his brothers and sisters, he would have cried a long time ago. However, Lin Yue calculated that he had lived there for so many days and it was almost his limit. If he didn't go to pick him up, there would probably be more crying children in his uncle's house.
She wanted to bring Little Mushroom back first. Zhang Yuandong thought about it and said, "Xiaozhuang won't go with me for the rotation tomorrow. I'll ask him to go and bring Little Mushroom back. You don't have to leave the camp."
Lin Yue was a little worried, "He has never been to Luohe Brigade. Can he find the place?"
Zhang Yuandong nodded, "Despite his young age, he is quite reassuring in his work. Give your uncle a call tomorrow morning and tell them so that they can prepare early."
Lin Yue nodded, looking absent-minded. Zhang Yuandong took advantage of the fact that no one was in the room, approached her gently, held her in his arms, stroked her long hair with his chin, and said aggrievedly: "Don't worry about them, think about me too. I'm going to guard the border tomorrow, and it will take many days to come back, and you don't have to be reluctant to let me go."
Lin Yue found it funny and touched his big hairy head with her backhand. She felt him rubbing against her palm obediently. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little greyhound Zhang, why are you so cute!"
The person behind her froze, then rubbed her neck in revenge, and then hugged her up. Lin Yue let out a low cry, but was afraid that Wang Tingting and Sisi would hear it, so he held it back and hurriedly took Zhang Yuandong into the space.
Zhang Yuandong set out early the next morning. Lin Yue still slept in Wang Tingting's room last night, so he didn't wake them up. He took the things he had prepared and left the house. When Lin Yue woke up, they were already halfway there.
Wang Tingting listened to Lin Yue's story last night. Although it was brief, Wang Tingting still broke out in a cold sweat. She was sensitive during pregnancy, and she was still holding Lin Yue's hand until midnight, telling her to be careful and not to be careless. Lin Yue finally calmed her down, and she overslept this morning as expected.
Lin Yue wanted her to sleep a little longer. Anyway, because she was pregnant, the work assigned to her by the hospital was very easy, so it was okay for her to take a day off. So he took Sisi to the military hospital to ask for leave for her, and by the way, he went to the logistics office to call Uncle Zhang.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Jie brought Little Mushroom back. As soon as Little Mushroom saw his mother, he burst into tears. He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Seeing him crying so sadly, Zhuang Jie exposed him without any sympathy, "This child changes his face so quickly. Before, he was clinging to the door frame at his grandfather's house and refused to leave no matter what. Now he is crying like this when he sees his mother!"
Little Mushroom didn't care what he said, she just hugged Lin Yue's neck and cried.
After he came back, the house became more lively. The child held Lin Yue's hand all day long, and told her stories about his grandfather's house. He also performed martial arts for her. He held a small stick and fought fiercely in the yard. He also jumped up and down from time to time to show how powerful he was. Lin Yue was very supportive and kept praising him. He praised the child so much that he couldn't tell the directions, and he performed even harder.
Since the heavy snow after the Qingming Festival, the weather has been getting better and better. Lin Yue took off his big leather coat and put on a cotton jacket. Wang Tingting asked for leave from the hospital and concentrated on waiting for the birth at home, but she couldn't sit still and always wanted to look outside.
Sometimes when Lin Yue went to the mountains to collect firewood, she would follow him. Lin Yue was afraid that something might happen to her, so he simply bought some firewood from other families. She no longer had to run outside the camp. She would sit in front of the door with Lin Yue every day, watching Sisi and Xiao Mushroom playing happily with other children.
What Lin Yue didn't expect was that Sisi and Little Mushroom actually played together with Sun Hongjun. Sun Hongjun looked about four or five years old, Little Mushroom and Sisi were two and a half years old, and the other was less than two years old. They didn't look like they were of the same age to play together, but these three played the best, but it was mainly because of the dog named "Little Gray" that the children liked.
