Meeting Qiao Baozhu's mocking gaze, Zhang Cuilian's old face turned red and she lowered her head in shame.
No, Qiao Baozhu has been in the city all the time. How could she know about the Corps’ restructuring?
Zhang Cuilian subconsciously looked at Xiao Ding who was standing beside her and found that Xiao Ding was looking at Qiao Baozhu with surprise. She suddenly remembered that Xiao Ding went into the city to deliver the letter before New Year's Day. He never entered the city again after that, so it was impossible that Xiao Ding spread the news.
The news of the Corps’ reconstruction was only known to a few senior officials within the Corps. No one is sure what the specific policies are.
With Captain Shen away, Instructor Duan had no one to talk to and was so worried that he couldn't sleep well the whole night.
Zhang Cuilianhua took great pains to dig the secret out of her husband.
At that time, the first thing Zhang Cuilian thought of was to ask Qiao Baozhu. But her husband said that Captain Shen was studying in the capital and it was impossible for him to write to Qiao Baozhu to tell her about such a big thing. As for the Shen family, they have not yet met their new daughter-in-law, Qiao Baozhu, and will not reveal any secrets to her.
Afterwards, Instructor Duan asked people for information while trying to find a way to get help from his old leaders to stay in the army.
A few days ago, we received news that the higher-ups were planning to disband the Corps. Officers above the battalion level will remain in the army, while officers below the battalion level will be transferred to civilian jobs and remain in the garrison.
Zhang Cuilian was relieved when she heard the news, and she was satisfied that her husband could still keep his military uniform. As for whether I can move up in the future, I'll just leave it to fate.
The above policy has not been officially released yet. If she can find out these rumors, naturally other people in the family compound can too.
When everyone heard that only officers above the battalion level could be retained, the family compound was in an uproar. Every night you can hear quarrels in the neighbors' house, the couple slamming pots and pans, and the children crying, one after another.
Wu Meili's eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying, and she would come to bother her every now and then to ask for help.
In addition to her, Captain Song's family member Ji Hehua and the motor company captain's wife Zheng Xinxin also came to her for help.
Everyone has always felt that Captain Shen had a very bad relationship with his family elders. After all, they are father and son. At this critical moment, the Shen family cannot ignore Shen Xiao's life or death.
Everyone begged Zhang Cuilian to persuade Qiao Baozhu to come back, even if it was just to let her stay in the family quarters for one night, so that she could think of a solution for everyone.
Zhang Cuilian was flattered by everyone. She thought that Qiao Baozhu had taken many days off from work at the site, and the New Year was approaching, so she should ask her opinion on behalf of the unit.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Baozhu, who should have known nothing, actually knew everything.
This is tantamount to telling Zhang Cuilian that she can help everyone out of their difficulties.
"Sister, I know you are the most capable."
Zhang Cuilian showed surprise on her face, and held Qiao Baozhu's hand affectionately, with hot tears streaming down her face.
"You don't know, ever since the news came out that the Corps was going to be disbanded, my heart has been boiling with worry day and night. The leaders have gone into hiding, and I can't get any news from Old Duan."
"Old Duan often told me that if Captain Shen was in the army at this time, he would not have to worry about anything because he would still have Captain Shen to support him even if the sky fell."
Qiao Baozhu looked embarrassed. It was useless to praise Chen Xiao at this time.
"Sister, from what you said, I think you know what this policy is about. Can you talk to my sister-in-law and ask if my old Duan's military uniform can be kept?"
Although Xiao Ding did not ask, he took two steps forward with his eyes as big as bells.
Qiao Baozhu looked at the two nervous people and felt sad. She didn't know what to say to them.
After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Baozhu smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, Shen Xiao didn't tell me this. All I know is what I heard on the radio."
At this point, Zhang Cuilian no longer cared about Qiao Baozhu's source of information, she only cared about the policy outcome.
"Sister-in-law, let Brother Duan find a way out as soon as possible."
