"What did you say? Qin Zheng also applied to go back. How is that possible? How is that possible?" Zhang Yumei put her hands on her stomach, looking a little dazed, and sat down blankly.
Zhang Yumei whispered softly, "How is this possible? How is this possible? Could it be that Xu Zhiyi was also reborn? But she wasn't! She clearly wasn't, so why would Qin Zheng apply to go back?"
Xie Heng, who was originally furious, immediately became aware of the situation when he heard these words. "Yumei, what did you say? Say it again."
"Ah? Nothing, I'm just surprised that Qin Zheng actually wants to go back."
Xie Heng was taken back by Zhang Yumei's words, "Who said it wasn't? Not only are you surprised, but all of us are surprised."
Zhang Yumei pulled Xie Heng and said, "If Qin Zheng goes back, can you go back too?" You must go back. If you don't go back, you won't be able to get promoted, and I will have to suffer with you for the rest of my life.
"I don't know. But I've submitted my application. As for whether I can go back, I really don't know."
Zhang Yumei pondered: "How about going back to look for my dad? Ask him if he can find someone?"
Xie Heng looked at Zhang Yumei with affection in his eyes: "Yumei, you are so kind. You have worked so hard for me even though you are pregnant."
"Xie Heng, I will be fine only when you are fine."
The next day, Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei went to Zhang's house as soon as they got off work.
Inside the Zhang family, Zhang Dabing was puzzled by Xie Heng's insistence on returning to his original unit: "Xie Heng, why do you insist on returning to your original unit?"
"Dad, I'm from the countryside. My family has no money and no connections to help me, so I can't stay in this military academy. Even if I had the ability, the places in the academy would have been taken long ago, so there's no place for me.
Rather than waiting for assignments, it's better to return to my old unit. I've been there for years, I have connections there, and my superiors are confident in my abilities. Plus, my old unit is on the coast, with other countries just across the sea, which will be very helpful for future missions and promotions. So, I want to go back.
But Qin Zheng also wants to go back, and I'm worried I'll be rejected."
Zhang Dabing was somewhat moved after hearing this, but still a little puzzled: "Xie Heng, you've always ranked behind Qin Zheng in every martial arts competition for the past two years, and it was only in the second half of last year that things got a little unstable. Your superiors probably won't assign you to any frontier troops. If you insist on returning to your original unit, it would be a shame."
"What good ideas does Dad have?"
"Why don't we wait and see what the higher-ups assign you. If the unit you're assigned isn't as good as your original unit, then we'll go back. If it's better than your original unit, then we'll go there."
Xie Heng nodded, somewhat moved, "Okay, then I'll listen to Dad."
Zhang Yumei was very unhappy with Zhang Dabing's words. She clearly wanted him to help Xie Heng get back. But now he was making Xie Heng wait. Didn't he know that time was running out? Is this a one-size-fits-all approach?
Although Qin Zheng and Xie Heng's original troops were not the best, they were not the worst either. What would they do if someone else took them away?
At the Xu family's house, Xu Chengde also called Qin Zheng and Xu Zhiyi back today.
"Qin Zheng, you're lucky. There's a vacancy in your original unit, so you can just fill it up when the time comes."
Qin Zheng immediately replied: "Okay, Dad."
"I'll give you a notice when the time comes, so both of you should be prepared."
Half a month later, Zhang Dabing urgently called Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei back.
"Dad, why did you call me and Xie Heng back in such a hurry? Is there something wrong? I'm pregnant and about to give birth. I can't stand your tossing and turning." Zhang Yumei sat down while complaining.
Xie Heng smiled apologetically and said, "Dad, Yumei didn't mean that. She's in the third trimester of pregnancy and her feet are swollen. She doesn't dare to move easily."
Zhang Dabing said angrily, "Humph, do you think I want to see you? If it weren't for the fact that you are my daughter and Xie Heng is my son-in-law, I wouldn't want to care about you."
Zhang Yumei said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, Dad, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. Can you tell me what happened now?"
"Xie Heng's assignment has come down. If nothing unexpected happens, he should go to Hainan Island."
Zhang Yumei quickly replied, "What? Dad, what did you say? Going to Hainan Island? No, Xie Heng won't go."
"This is an order. You can't just refuse to go if you say so? Besides, I spent over a hundred dollars to get this information."
"Dad, you better hurry up and get Xie Heng back to his original unit! Hainan Island is so poor now, it's all wasteland, there's no fresh water. If I follow Xie Heng to join the army, how are we going to survive?"
If it were Hainan Island a decade or so from now, I'd be dying to go right away. But Hainan Island right now is a wasteland, so why would I want to go? No, I absolutely can't go.
When Xie Heng heard the word Hainan Island, he was full of rejection. He didn't want to go there either!
"Dad, I submitted an application to return to my original unit, but why haven't I received any response yet? Is it suppressed by the higher-ups? Can you please ask for my permission and see if I can change it?"
"Yes, Dad. Xie Heng submitted the application first. How can we not follow the application?"
Zhang Dabing sighed, "I'll ask you about this, too. They say very few people are going to Hainan Island this year, so they rejected your application."
Zhang Yumei angrily said, "Dad, just tell me if you can do it!"
Zhang Dabing glared at Zhang Yumei. He had initially agreed to her marriage because Xie Heng was a regimental commander and his abilities were not bad. Zhang Dabing also didn't want Xie Heng to go to Hainan Island. What good would that do?
"Why are you in such a hurry? This matter hasn't been finalized yet. There's certainly room for change."
"Then what are you waiting for? Dad, this concerns the rest of Xie Heng's life, you can't be careless."
Zhang Dabing said unhappily, "Do you even need to tell me that?"
That night, after Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei returned home, they heard the cheerful noises coming from Qin Zheng and Xu Zhiyi's house, and their depressed mood became even more irritable.
Zhang Yumei's eyes were deep. "Xie Heng, you will definitely return to your original unit. Believe me!"
"Yumei, of course I believe you."
In the next two months, Zhang Dabing and Xie Heng ran around all day for the distribution and spent a lot of cash.
During this period, Zhang Yumei also gave birth smoothly, and her first child was a big fat boy, which made Zhang Yumei's position in Xie Heng's heart even higher.
Thanks to Zhang Dabing's efforts, Xie Heng successfully applied to return to his original unit. However, the transfer order had not yet come, and Xie Heng was still a little uneasy.
Another month passed, and the transfer orders for Qin Zheng and Xie Heng were issued as expected. Xie Heng remained as the regimental commander, and Qin Zheng remained as the chief of staff.
Nothing has changed, yet everything seems to be changing.
