Chapter 226 Lu Changzheng is leaving

Su Mo was startled, thinking of Luo Yuan who was wanted by the whole county, and quickly asked Cao Yatou about the situation.

Cao Yatou had been hiding in the mountains with her brother since she was a child, and she was very familiar with the mountains in this area, so she could hide in the mountains for several months without being discovered.

Half a month before the snow, she accidentally discovered that there were several men hiding in another mountain.

"Auntie, those people have very powerful things in their hands, short ones, and they can kill a roe deer from a distance when they are raised." Cao Yatou gestured while speaking.

Su Mo took a look and realized that it was a pistol with a silencer.

These days, the militia in the countryside are all issued long guns, and they are quite loud. It is normal that Cao Yatou has never seen a pistol before and cannot recognize it.

Su Mo confirmed the approximate location with Cao Yatou again and said to her, "Stay in the cowshed for the time being and don't go out. It's not safe outside."

The snow has been getting lighter these days, and Su Mo is afraid that she will run out and make trouble again. It will be troublesome if she runs into those criminals.

Cao Yatou nodded. If those people didn't beat her all the time, she wouldn't like to go to the mountains. It's very scary at night. Here, everyone is nice to her. Even if it doesn't snow, she will continue to live here.

Su Mo reminded Teacher Gu a few more times, told Captain Li about the situation, and then hurried back to Lujia Village Brigade to make a phone call.

Su Mo first called Lu Changzheng and told him about the matter, and then called Geng Changqing to report the situation. As for how to deploy, they discussed it.

When Su Mo made the call, Lu Baoguo and Lu Qing'an were also there, and Su Mo did not avoid them. When they heard this, they were both bald.

What happened in the past two years? Why are there always people with guns coming to the mountain? Can the people live in peace?

The two hurriedly found the militia leader Lu Baojia and asked him to arrange people to patrol on the way down the mountain every day.

It is better to be safe than sorry. They are afraid that when those people are surrounded and suppressed, they will come down from the mountain, rush into the village and take people hostage.

Lu Baojia is also miserable. In this horrible weather, he still has to go out for patrol. It is really life-threatening. But there is no other way. It is his duty.

Fortunately, after two days, the heavy snow that had lasted for nearly half a month finally stopped, and the long-awaited sunshine appeared in the sky.

Everyone cheered. If it continued to snow, there would be a big snowstorm. According to the radio, many buses and trains in the north had stopped running.

The brigades quickly organized people to shovel snow and clear the roads.

The factories that had stopped working also gradually resumed work, and Su Mo and Lu Xiaolan also went back to work in the commune.

******

At the end of December, Lu Changzheng returned home and bought a lot of meat in the county. He took it to Lu's house and cooked it. The whole family had a reunion dinner early.

During the meal, Lu Changzheng toasted his two elder brothers, "Big brother, I'm leaving tomorrow. Dad, Mom and Grandpa, you guys will have to take care of me."

"Don't worry!" The two brothers responded at the same time.

When the third brother was at home, he didn't feel much, but now that he's leaving, he suddenly feels reluctant. He always feels that his back is not as strong when the third brother is not around.

"And Xiaolan, she's the only sister in the family, you two brothers should keep an eye on her and don't let anyone bully her."

Su Mo also told Lu Changzheng about the gangsters harassing Lu Xiaolan before. Lu Changzheng even took Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo to put a sack on someone in the middle of the night. After all, as a military officer, beating up common people would easily lead to being reported, but it was different for the two of them. It was okay for common people to beat up common people.

"The new regimental commander of the army is my old comrade-in-arms for many years. If there is anything that cannot be solved at home, you can call him." Lu Changzheng told Lu Qing'an.

Lu Qing'an nodded, his eyes a little moist.

The third child was to be transferred to such a faraway place as Guangzhou. He would be so far away from home that he didn't know when he would be able to come back. It would be difficult for the family to get together again.

"When I am stable over there and have arranged my work, I will take Momo and the children over." Lu Changzheng said.

"It's so far away from home, and the children are still so young. How about you wait two years before joining the army? It will be so hard for Xiaomo to take care of two children alone." Li Yue'e was very reluctant.

The third child wanted to pursue his career, and she couldn't stop him. She loved the two children and Xiaomo very much. Thinking that she might not see them again for several years, Li Yue'e felt very upset.

"We have to go there sooner or later. The sooner we go, the sooner we can adapt." Lu Changzheng said. He wished that his wife would go there with him. How could she wait for two years?

Li Yue'e picked up Lele and burst into tears. Her tone was somewhat complaining, "Can't you transfer a few years later? This unit is so good at home. Others can't even beg to come, but you have to go."

Isn't it the same wherever you serve in the army? You have to go to the south.

If it was the original place, it would be better. It would only be a few days after returning. Even if they didn't come back, she missed her grandchildren. She gritted her teeth and dared to take the train to see them by herself.

This is the most southern place. It takes ten days to go there. She is old, how can she run so far?

The journey is long and the time is long. Young people are afraid of hardship, so it is estimated that few people will come back.

Li Yue'e thought that they might not see each other very often in the future. She was overwhelmed with sorrow and couldn't help crying.

"Why are you crying? Men have ambitions to go far and wide. This is a good unit, how can there be a position for you all the time? If you have the opportunity, you will definitely transfer quickly. This is a good thing." Lu Qing'an hurriedly said.

At first, he didn't understand why Lu Changzheng was transferred to such a far place in the south when he was doing well and had no promotion. Later, Lu Boying explained to him, and he realized that there were differences between different units.

All I can say is that his third son has a bright future.

"Third son, I wish you a bright future." Lu Qing'an clinked glasses with Lu Changzheng, "After you are transferred there, work hard and strive to achieve some results as soon as possible. When you come back with merit, I will set off firecrackers for you."

"Okay!" Lu Changzheng raised his head and drank the wine.

When my father is no longer the party secretary, if they are willing, they will take the elderly to the south to spend the winter.

The meal was both lively and sad.

The children were lively because they did not understand parting and were naturally happy to have good food. The adults were sad because they all knew that it would be difficult for them to see each other after Lu Changzheng was transferred there.

Before, Lu Changzheng only went home once every two or three years, and he didn't think much of it. But now he sees her more often every year, and he feels sad when he thinks that he won't see her again for another few years.

After dinner, Lu Changzheng went to Lu Boming's room again, and the two of them talked alone for a long time before going home.
