Gu Hanchuan's voice was devoid of any pity, only cold and stern: "If we let her off lightly today, everyone in the compound will be free to make fun of, spread rumors about, and slander our revolutionary comrades."
Wouldn't that mean the world is going to the dogs and military families' compounds have lost all the proper conduct they should have?
If even our own comrades can freely slander and ridicule their wounded comrades, how should the general public view us? Where is the dignity of soldiers?
"So what's your opinion?"
"I suggest that this matter be reported to the Cadre Department of the Political Department of the Division, and that a study activity be launched to reread the deeds of the martyrs and to commemorate and pay tribute to them. This will enhance all cadres and their families' understanding of the cruelty of war and their remembrance of their fallen comrades."
Furthermore, regarding Comrade Tian Erxi, given that her family member is currently injured and hospitalized, a disciplinary action by the military region may be temporarily postponed.
However, her workplace must be notified, and she should be given a reprimand and educated. At the same time, she should be relieved of her duties at the supply and marketing cooperative in the military region's family compound. This is the only way to set an example for others.
"Ah!" Tian Erxi screamed, "My man was wounded while fighting for the country and is still lying in the hospital. Is this how you treat his family?"
"In his eagerness for a quick victory, Battalion Commander Guo disobeyed unified command and led his troops astray, falling into an ambush and sustaining his injuries. Once he is discharged from the hospital, the organization will deal with him severely!"
As for you, with such outdated thinking, you are simply not suited to continue serving military families in the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Old Huo, this is my opinion."
Gu Hanchuan raised his eyes coldly and glared at Tian Erxi.
Huo Guanghui: "Yes, I agree."
"No, Political Commissar, Sister Li, Deputy Division Commander Gu, I beg you, please give me a chance to earn money and support my family."
Even if Old Huo passes away, our family still needs to eat and drink.
Please, I beg you.
She went up to each of the three people and tried to pull them away, but they all dodged her.
When he turned around and saw Qian Lai, he almost knelt down.
"Hey girl, I just had a bad temper. Can you put in a good word for me and not hold it against me? My whole family depends on my salary to support us."
Qian Lai pulled away from her grip, anger still simmering in her eyes: "Are you just being a smart aleck?"
Do you know that just one of your ridiculous statements could kill an innocent person? Why should you think you can kill someone and then easily get away with it by a simple apology?
On behalf of the people and military families, I wholeheartedly agree with Deputy Division Commander Gu's opinion.
Evil people should be punished, otherwise it's unfair to good people!
"Yes, it's Battalion Commander Guo's family. You're in the wrong, so stop talking. Let's go to the hospital to check on Battalion Commander Guo's injuries."
Those who had been slandered by Tian Erxi behind his back all scoffed at the rumors.
"Oh my god! Why did this happen?"
Tian Erxi broke down in tears and was helped home by the girls she was chatting with.
Gu Hanchuan wheeled himself to Qian Lai's side, his eyes devoid of emotion but radiating a cold light, and said to her, "Come home with me, I have something to tell you."
Qian Lai pushed Gu Hanchuan in his wheelchair, and the two did not exchange a single word the entire way.
This made Xiao Li behind him too afraid to even breathe.
Upon entering the living room, the room was filled with a pleasant fragrance.
"Comrade Qian, did you make stewed chicken today?"
"Yes. I also made your favorite cold noodles and the commander's favorite braised bamboo shoots."
"Then I'll go heat it up." Xiao Li happily carried the pot of chicken to the kitchen.
Qian Lai smiled, trying to break the tense atmosphere created by Gu Hanchuan. Unfortunately, Gu Hanchuan remained expressionless.
She poured clean water into the basin, had Gu Hanchuan change his clothes and wash his hands, before pushing him to the dining table.
A short while later, Xiao Li returned to the living room carrying the reheated dishes.
"Comrade Qian, are you able to predict the future? Did you know something good was going to happen today, which is why you stewed the chicken?" Little Li happily served Gu Hanchuan his meal, then sat down and waited to start eating.
"Something good has happened?"
Both of them looked at Gu Hanchuan, and Qian Lai picked up a piece of chicken with her chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
"Our leader can start working at the communications research institute soon!" Xiao Li couldn't wait to share the good news.
This is indeed good news!
Gu Hanchuan is a rare geomagnetic storm expert in the country.
In this way, his daily life can be full of hope, and he can truly put his expertise to good use and shine.
"That's great! When do we start work?"
"Next Monday," Xiao Li answered again.
"Did you make this chicken?" Gu Hanchuan suddenly put down his chopsticks, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
"W-what's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?"
Xiao Li: Aside from the strong medicinal smell, it actually smells quite nice.
When did you two become friends?
Well!
Qian Lai knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she put down her chopsticks.
"Commander, Comrade Tang Yazhu has already told me about your situation. I feel so sorry for her. Seeing her heartbroken and in tears, I... I can't help but feel sad too. Such a good girl, how can you really bear to give her up?"
Gu Hanchuan lowered his head, raised his eyelids, seemingly gazing, but more like scrutinizing.
"You know she's pitiful, so don't let her get close to me anymore. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me."
"But she's already been transferred back. She's in the cultural troupe now, and you'll be in the same military region from now on. You'll see each other all the time. Why not give each other a chance?"
"Opportunity? In my current situation, opportunities are only given to me by others; how could I possibly give opportunities to others?"
Gu Hanchuan turned his wheelchair and entered the house.
The door was slammed shut with a loud bang.
Qian Lai chased after it, but couldn't open the door no matter what she tried.
"Sir, I also have some good news to tell you. Do you know about the 'Biological Gene' Research Institute in the city? They have foreign experts there and want me to be their intern assistant."
