Biaozi and his friends did not go to the terrace upstairs, but were barbecuing in the yard downstairs. A few of them were drinking and chatting when Boha suddenly stood up and rushed out with his cell phone.
It was not until he sat down on an empty chair by the lake that he trembled and opened his phone. Inside was the beautiful, thin face of the girl he had been thinking about day and night.
She was thinner than before, but in much better spirits. Her neck was still wrapped in thick gauze, but her speech was no longer affected.
"Brother Bo," Meiyi greeted him with a smile in the video, tears welling up in her eyes. She pursed her lips and continued,
"I am doing well here. The nurses here are taking good care of me. The stitches on my wound have been removed and it will heal in a short time.
Although the frequency of my addiction has decreased a bit, it is still very painful. I am persisting and will try to get through it on my own after this course of treatment is over.
I heard that the medicine used to curb my drug addiction is very expensive. Your salary is not high and I don’t want you to waste your money. Brother Bo, believe me, I can definitely get through it.
They said that I can see you once I quit my addiction. I will definitely cooperate and come to see you as soon as I can recover.
There are also sisters here who teach me some truths that I have never heard before. They say that I was not born humble, caste does not mean anything, and those who work hard are the most noble.
Bogo, I will work hard, for you and for myself. Don't worry about me, work hard and wait for me."
The video froze here. Boha put the phone on his chest, lay on his back with his eyes closed, and trembled slightly. After a long time, he adjusted his breathing and sent a message to Nanxi.
"Sister Xi, thank you." He was not very good at saying nice things, and he didn't know what else he could say except thank you.
Regardless of whether it was Mei Yi's matter or the fact that Sister Xi gave each of them a house so that they could start a family, he didn't know what else he could do in return except fight harder on the battlefield and be loyal to Brother Lu for the rest of his life.
…
It was cloudy the day Balu left.
The dry season in Indochina is about to end, and the rainy season is already brewing.
Nanxi stood in the living room, buried her head in her husband's arms, reluctant to let go for a long time.
"Okay, baby, I'll be back at the end of the month. Get ready. As soon as I land, I'll pick you up and we'll run. We won't stay a moment longer. I'll block Mengge as soon as I get back."
Baru gently stroked his wife's back, and his comforting words were so refreshing.
Nanxi pinched him with her hand around his waist and said sullenly, "You're so annoying! I'm so sad, and you're still teasing me."
"Okay, you're already pregnant, so don't get excited. Stay calm and wait patiently for your husband to come home."
Nanxi sniffed and nodded, "Okay, I get it. Be careful and take good care of Ajie. Don't beat him up all the time. If he gets too naughty, nothing else will work for him and he'll become even more rebellious."
"Well, don't worry."
Outside the door, Danmin's sharp sobs had lasted for ten minutes. He grabbed Zhanpeng's collar to prevent Yana from touching him, crying miserably.
"Dad... Dad... I won't leave..."
Zhan Peng's eyes were red, and he was such a carefree person that he hugged his daughter and kissed her again and again, his heart was broken.
"Be good, baby, follow Mom. Dad will come to see you when he's on vacation. Your brother will also be in Yangon in a couple of days. You and your brother will help Dad take care of Mom, okay? When Dad drives away the bad guys, he'll come pick you up..."
"Don't... Zhan Peng... You don't want me anymore..."
Danmin still felt that Zhan Peng would no longer want her if he let go, and her crying became even sharper.
"Who said that? You are my father's most beloved child. I will never give up on you no matter who I choose..." Zhan Peng almost bit his back teeth to hold back his tears. He sniffed and pulled Danmin out of his arms.
"Baby, be good. Next time Daddy comes back, I'll give you a real horse to ride, okay? A little white horse, how about that?"
Danmin lowered the volume of her screams and looked at Zhan Peng, "Little White Horse?"
"Yes. Dad promises that as long as Danmin behaves well, next time Dad comes back, he will give you a little white horse."
Danmin thought about it and nodded, "When will you come back?"
"Soon, honey. Once Daddy beats the bad guys away, he'll come pick you up."
Zhan Peng didn't dare to stay any longer and got into the car in two steps. Balu also came over and waved to Nanxi to go back.
Once again, the two men had to bid farewell to their wives and children and head to the battlefield, taking up their guns and responsibilities.
"Aaron, when the hell is this going to end..."
The car started, Zhan Peng lit a cigarette with red eyes and asked his good brother beside him in a hoarse voice.
Balu didn't say anything. He had asked Mengge and himself this question, but no one had told him the answer from childhood to adulthood.
In the long dark night without light, it is very difficult to stick to one direction and one belief and move forward.
Fortunately, he still has Nan Xiaoxi and a home.
My wife said that he just had to leave, and she would keep the door open and the lights on for him at dusk or dawn.
#######
During the ASEAN joint military exercise, a young commander attracted attention from all parties. Throughout the exercise, his strategies, tactics, and theories of warfare were far superior to those of officers sent by other countries, making him a shining new star in the ASEAN military field. This is why Wu Meng sent him out. It was time for Baru to step onto the political stage himself to test the waters.
The result did not disappoint him. On the day the military exercise ended, his phone was flooded with calls, all with congratulations.
At the celebration banquet, Ba Lu pinched Wu Jie's neck and told him how to cover for him when he returned. "Did you remember what I just said? Give me at least ten hours. This is an order."
