Wei Dong first saw his mother's diagnosis report, and then clearly learned everything his mother had concealed.
The truth made this reckless 14-year-old boy feel ashamed and angry, and also made him silent.
On the way back from the city, Wei Dong huddled in a corner and said nothing. Just when the car was about to enter the housing estate, the child suddenly said he wanted to get off, saying he didn't want his mother to see him coming back from the car.
"No wonder you parked the car in front of our house just now. Why didn't you send Instructor Duan home? You're already back, and you're just one step away from stepping on the accelerator?"
Qiao Baozhu glanced at Shen Xiao with a reproachful look, and Shen Xiao looked innocent.
"They said they didn't need me to take them back, and my sister-in-law even found two sets of clean clothes for Wei Dong and called him back home."
Qiao Baozhu was speechless with anger at Shen Xiao's straightforwardness.
"No, brother, I'm just being polite to you. Do you take it seriously? Instructor Duan and his wife have taken leave and have been busy for most of the day. Isn't it only natural for you to send them home?"
Shen Xiao disagreed, "Old Duan is my brother. If he really wants me to send him off, he will just tell me straight away. He won't be polite to me. You will understand when you get to know him more. We soldiers have simple minds."
If Qiao Baozhu had not accompanied Zhao Haiyang in the officialdom for decades in her previous life, she would have believed Shen Xiao's words.
However, this also shows that Shen Xiao was able to become a battalion commander because of his solid military achievements. If he relied on the tricks of the trade, the warrior Shen Xiao would have been played to death long ago.
"After talking for so long, you still haven't said what to do with Bai Hongmei? What does her family think? Doesn't anyone care about her health? And if you want to send Wei Dong to Liao Province, you have to discuss it with her."
Qiao Baozhu was quite anxious about this matter. If she could get rid of this burden, Bai Hongmei, as soon as possible, her life would be much better in the future.
Shen Xiao said nothing, looked down at his wrist, and said lightly: "It's almost time."
Qiao Baozhu looked at Shen Xiao blankly, not understanding what he was saying without any reason.
Then I heard Wei Dong shouting loudly outside the yard: "Uncle Chen, we are back."
Shen Xiao stood up, straightened his clothes, and then reached out to Qiao Baozhu: "Let's go, we'll talk over there."
Qiao Baozhu didn't understand what kind of medicine was in Shen Xiao's gourd. After thinking for a while, she opened the drawer, took out a bag of Seagull shampoo and put it in her pocket.
After going out, Qiao Baozhu saw Zhang Cuilian, Instructor Duan, Wei Dong and a soldier in military uniform standing outside the gate.
"That's the assistant of the logistics department, who is responsible for coordinating and assisting the different needs of the family members."
Shen Xiao stood at the door and caught a glimpse of Qiao Baozhu coming out. Before she could ask, he started explaining.
"Oh, so he is Comrade Xiao Ding. I heard from Sister Wu that the family members in the compound are willing to introduce him to a girl."
Shen Xiao said nothing, but the expression on his face already showed that he was also very satisfied with Comrade Xiao Ding.
Bai Hongmei sat in the house bored, holding a pair of half-worn trousers, planning to embroider a red plum blossom on the trouser leg to show her elegant and unique taste.
I heard Li Yan chattering, "Captain Shen is here," and I quickly looked out the window.
Seeing Shen Xiao's tall figure walking into the courtyard, Bai Hongmei felt her heart beating uncontrollably.
"I miss you so much after not seeing you for so long."
Bai Hongmei had just shown off a line of poetry when she saw several more people coming in from behind.
"Qiao Baozhu? She's here too? She follows Shen Xiao wherever he goes, as if she can't live without a man. How annoying."
When Bai Hongmei saw Qiao Baozhu, her little face immediately stretched out. Just as she pouted her lips, she saw a figure flash past behind Qiao Baozhu.
"Xiao Ding? Why is he here too?"
When Bai Hongmei saw the assistant manager, alarm bells started ringing in her heart.
Bai Hongmei has been in the family compound for quite some time and is no stranger to assistant manager Xiao Ding. Shen Xiao brought him here, something big must have happened.
Bai Hongmei didn't know what was going on, but her instinct told her that it was definitely not a good thing.
She felt extremely guilty, so she quickly pulled the quilt over herself, prepared to lie down and pretend to faint to avoid everyone's gaze.
Unfortunately, Shen Xiao didn't give her the chance to pretend to be faint or dead. He lifted the curtain and pushed Wei Dong into the house.
"Mom, I'm back. Uncle Shen, Uncle Duan and the others are here to see you."
Bai Hongmei's movement to pull the quilt froze in mid-air. When she saw her son coming in, she looked very angry.
These days, the separation between men and women is still quite strict, so Shen Xiao and the other grown men did not enter the house.
Li Yan followed Wei Dong into the house. Seeing Bai Hongmei dressed neatly, she smiled and said hello: "Hongmei, the leaders of the army are here to see you."
Bai Hongmei stroked her hair and pulled the corner of her mouth uncomfortably.
"The leaders are here, sister-in-law, please invite them into the house."
Li Yan then opened the door, and Shen Xiao, Instructor Duan, and Xiao Ding entered the room.
"Captain Shen and Instructor Duan are honored to have you here. Ahem, you really make my little hut shine... Ahem, Ahem"
Bai Hongmei hadn't finished her sentence when she started coughing weakly. After coughing, take two deep breaths to relax.
"Sister-in-law, we are just here to see you. Don't get excited. Don't get excited."
Instructor Duan was so frightened that he quickly winked at his wife.
Zhang Cuilian walked over with a cold face and patted Bai Hongmei on the back, and said while calming her down, "Hongmei, why are you so weak?"
