When she and Huo Beian were about to board the train, almost everyone from the family compound and all the new recruits came to see them off.
"Goodbye, Battalion Commander Huo." The soldiers waved goodbye to him reluctantly.
Meng Yuming stood in the crowd, looking at Huo Beian, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Huo Beian was the one who promoted him to platoon leader, but he squandered his advantages...
He felt sorry for Battalion Commander Huo, but Battalion Commander Huo was still someone who had been kind to him...
Huo Beian sat on the train, waving to everyone, his eyes welling up with tears.
Goodbye, Amagi...
Goodbye, my brothers...
The journey is long and arduous...
treasure……
In the office of the Political Work Section of the Nancheng Education Bureau, the magnolias outside the window were in full bloom.
The entire education bureau is located in a small courtyard of bungalows, which is quite lush with trees.
Huo Beian sat in his office, staring blankly at the "Cadre Resume Form" on his desk.
"Special skills? How do I fill that out?"
He filled in "combat, shooting, wilderness survival" in the "Special Skills" column.
My colleague, Lao Zhang, chuckled and handed me an enamel mug: "Little Huo, we don't need these things in our lowly government office."
Even Huo Beian found it hard to believe that he had gone from being a military man to working in a humanities position.
It's just fate playing tricks on us.
The Education Bureau's work isn't actually that busy, since people don't really value education these days.
Compulsory education is not even universal, and the education bureau is a powerless department with nothing to do all day.
In his office at the Nancheng Education Bureau, Huo Beian would sometimes spend half a day with just a cup of tea, a cigarette, and a newspaper, his heart always with the army.
The change came faster than expected.
That day, he was drinking water and reading the newspaper when he saw a news report about the self-defense war. Due to the border conflict, H country sent the Gancheng Military Region and the Yun Province Military Region to fight abroad.
"As expected, war is about to break out."
As a former elite soldier, he was very astute about the situation, and as expected, he guessed that H country and Y country finally...
The teacup suddenly slipped from my fingers and clattered on the cement floor.
At this moment, Huo Beian felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't been injured, he too could have made a name for himself and fought on the battlefield.
What a pity...
He was so angry that he punched the wall, and his back still ached slightly.
I feel so sad...
That day, after returning home...
Seeing that Huo Beian was unhappy, Song Ning also saw the newspaper and learned about the war.
She knew Huo Beian was sad because he couldn't go to the battlefield, so she went over and sat down next to him to comfort him. "Husband, don't blame yourself. Every cloud has a silver lining. War is cruel. Although you can't go to the battlefield, it might be a good thing for you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Beian grasped her hand, somewhat nervously, "Wife, since you traveled back from the future, you should know whether we won this war or not?"
“Of course we won.” Song Ning nodded. “Moreover, after this battle, Y country will never dare to oppose our sabotage again. It can be said that this battle was absolutely necessary.”
"That's great, it's good that we won." Hearing that they had won, Huo Beian finally breathed a sigh of relief. "So, how many casualties did we suffer?"
Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief. She had learned about this war when she was researching historical materials in modern society.
"We deployed 600,000 troops, and suffered more than 30,000 casualties."
"That's good, the number of casualties isn't too high." Huo Beian finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
“However—” Song Ning suddenly drew out her words, “Meng Yuming might… not be able to come back.”
After all, in the original book, Meng Yuming, the childhood sweetheart of the cannon fodder female supporting character Song Ning, died on the battlefield and never returned.
Therefore, after she transmigrated, she never thought about marrying Meng Yuming, her childhood sweetheart.
If you marry, you're a widow; if you don't, you're sent to the countryside.
She never expected that meeting Huo Beian would change her life.
“Meng Yuming…” Huo Beian’s tone was somewhat heavy upon hearing this.
Huo Beian felt both anger and pity for Meng Yuming's lack of ambition.
It's a person's fate, and it's hard for others to control it.
...
Meanwhile, Song Xue has been constantly harassed by Zhao Decai lately.
He had extorted almost all of the money he had left.
She then thought of calling Meng Yuming again to ask for some more.
However, this time, the phone call revealed that Meng Yuming had already gone to the front lines.
"front?"
Song Xue suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she was the female lead, and she seemed to have accidentally seen a list of martyrs who died in battle in the newspaper. Among them was Meng Yuming, a soldier from Nancheng.
If he remembers correctly, it was around this time...
broken.
Song Xue thought to herself that once Meng Yuming went to the battlefield, he probably wouldn't come back.
But she's pregnant with Meng Yuming's child, what should she do?
Song Xue was extremely worried and hurriedly asked, "Meng Yuming, did he give any instructions before going to the front lines?"
"Oh, he asked me to send a letter to someone back in my hometown named Song Xue. I haven't sent it yet."
Upon hearing this, Song Xue was overjoyed.
"Could you please send it to me as soon as possible, comrade?"
Over the next few days, Song Xue anxiously read the newspaper and waited for news.
One week later.
Before the letter arrived, they saw the list of soldiers who died on the first day in the newspaper.
Meng Yuming is on it.
Upon seeing this, Song Xue slumped into her chair.
At that moment, the postman delivered a letter to her.
"Song Xue, there is a letter for you."
Song Xue quickly got up, took the letter, and began to open it.
