A few days later, Gao Guojing arrived at the Shangfen Brigade. The sunny boy from back then had become much tougher, and he carried a murderous aura.
Although he was trying his best to conceal his presence, the Yu family members were not ordinary people.
Dorjee's nose twitched, and he asked, "Uncle Guojing, have you killed a lot of prey?"
Gao Guojing chuckled and said, "You've killed a lot of 'prey.' You've been practicing martial arts for several years. Let's have a match tomorrow."
Duolu immediately perked up: "Come on then! I've improved a lot in the past few years and have even fought tigers a few times. But my aunt said tiger meat doesn't taste good, so she just wants us to fight, not kill the tigers."
"After we finished fighting them, we even applied medicine to their wounds before leaving. I'm really good at this."
Gao Guojing: "Really? This makes the fight more interesting. It's been years, and you've all grown so tall. Dorje is up to my waist now. Well done."
"This must be Duole. I left before you were born. This is our first meeting. I brought you a gift, and I'll give it to you later."
Duole's big eyes curiously looked at Gao Guojing. When he heard that there was a gift for him, the little boy smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Uncle."
When Gao Guojing joined the army, Dorje was only a little over a year old, and his impression of him had long been completely erased. However, he felt very close to Gao Guojing.
Dorje tugged at his trouser leg to get his attention before asking with a grin, "Uncle, did you bring us any gifts?"
Gao Guojing rubbed his nephew's head: "Yes, yes, we have them all, we'll give them to you right away."
After settling on the toy deal, Duoxi proudly shared some exciting news: "Uncle Guojing, we have a little sister now, she's a little over a month old, and she's incredibly cute."
Gao Guojing couldn't stay calm any longer: "Really? Your mother gave birth to a little sister? Take me to see her."
I only heard last time that Sister Rujia was pregnant again, but I didn't expect that she had already given birth.
The Yu family still has very little contact with Xia Taishun, only two or three times a year, just to let him know they are safe and sound, and that's it, they don't say anything more.
It's been several months since I last let you know I'm safe.
Having seen so many baby boys, they now only crave the sweet and soft baby girls. Gao Guojing couldn't wait to fly to the newborns right now.
Duofu was very satisfied with Gao Guojing's performance, but still stopped Gao Guojing from entering the room to see Duoyi: "Uncle Guojing, you've been on the road for a day or two, go take a bath, I've already boiled the hot water."
Gao Guojing laughed and scolded, "You good-for-nothing Duofu, you actually look down on me."
Despite saying that, he still obediently went to take a shower before coming over to see Duoyi.
Gao Guojing's first words to Duoyi were, "She's so beautiful! No wonder she's a girl from the Xia family."
Dorjee boasted, smacking his lips, "Duoyi is the prettiest girl, especially well-behaved and always smiling. She's so much fun. Her hands and feet are so small, I can wrap them up in one hand."
Duo Yi, whose diaper had just been changed, was full of energy, her pink and tender little bundle of joy curiously observing the newly arrived Gao Guojing.
Seeing his older brothers affectionately towards him, the little guy smiled sweetly and babbled something, his adorable appearance making everyone envious.
Gao Guojing squatted down in front of the cradle and greeted him warmly, "Duoyi, hello there! I'm your uncle. I'll be playing with you for many days. Aren't you happy?"
Yu Rujia: "Duoyi is full of energy now, Guojing, do you want to hug him?"
Duolu immediately reached out and skillfully picked up Xiaoduoyi: "Auntie, I'll hold her, Uncle Guojing doesn't need to hold her."
Duo Yi only has a short time to wake up each day, and a bunch of his brothers are all vying for him. He doesn't want another Uncle Guo Jing to join them.
Duoxi said enviously from the side, "Second brother, you've held enough, it's my turn to hold my sister."
Duolu turned around with Duoyi in his arms, avoiding Duoxi's outstretched hands. Even if Duoyi was his little follower, he would not back down in front of his beloved 'little sister'.
Doro: "I'm just getting started, you'll have to wait a bit longer."
Duo Xi said anxiously, "My little sister will be asleep soon if we wait any longer, let me hold her."
Dorje sidled up to Duoyi's swaddled baby, chasing after him: "Second brother, let me hold you for a bit, it's my turn."
Gao Guojing was also very envious. This was a girl! His family desperately needed a girl, and he really wanted to hold her.
Kao Kuo-Ching: "You guys usually have so many opportunities to hold Duo-Yi, but I'm leaving again in a few days, so you can let me hold Duo-Yi first."
Several people circled around Duolu, all wanting to take the little baby from his arms.
The soft-spoken boy, Duoyi, who was the subject of much squabbling, was the most composed. No matter who tried to impress him, he would generously give them a soft smile, making his older brothers and uncles like him even more.
Duolu thought for a moment, then reluctantly handed Duoyi to Gao Guojing: "Uncle Guojing, please be careful when you hold her."
It seems that Gao Guojing, his close friend, holds a significant place in his heart.
After playing around with the kids, Gao Guojing followed his older brother and sister-in-law into their room that evening to share the latest news about the Xia family in Jiangcheng.
Gao Guojing: "My third brother became a company commander in May this year, and I became a platoon leader in May. Dad's position has not changed, but Dad estimates that there will be a change in the next two years if nothing unexpected happens."
When he said this, Gao Guojing's mouth was stretched almost to the back of his ears.
Yu Rujia: "At the beginning of the year, we heard news from the capital that the winds from above had changed. We thought that you would not hear good news until next year or the year after, but we didn't expect to hear it so soon."
Yu Rujia was indeed very surprised. The Xia family's identity was complicated. She originally thought that things would not improve in Jiangcheng until the second half of 1976 at the earliest, but she did not expect it to happen more than a year earlier.
In other words, even if the investigation of the Xia family wasn't in the first batch, it was in the second batch.
The fact that results were obtained so quickly must be due to the efforts of multiple parties.
Gao Shujing: "My third brother has been stuck in the position of platoon leader for more than ten years. He has accumulated enough seniority and merit. He was promoted to company commander this year. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted again after all the family matters are resolved."
Gao Guojing: "That's what Dad said too. Third Brother has finally made it through. No, we should say that our whole family is almost through it."
Yu Rujia: "After this incident, the road ahead for you and your third brother will be much easier. This is what people mean by 'a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.' If you can seize the opportunity, you may go even further than your father is now."
The border has never been peaceful, giving Gao Guojing and Xia Jingrong ample opportunities to make contributions. If they do this a few more times, they can accumulate enough capital for promotion.
The change in wind direction brought tangible benefits to the Xia family in Jiangcheng, meaning that the Xia family in the cowshed were getting closer and closer to regaining their freedom.
