Just by looking at the number of officers dispatched from the compound, Jiang Manyue knew that this mission was not easy.
The officers living in the compound are at least battalion commanders, and most of them are at the level of deputy regimental commander or above.
There were quite a few people who went to the compound alone. There should have been quite a few senior officers like Qi Xiangrong and Xie Anbang who were single or did not bring their families with them, and who lived in the dormitory.
With so many senior military officers dispatched together, the difficulty and danger of the mission are self-evident.
Jiang Manyue went back to her room silently, leaning against the head of the bed with no intention of falling asleep.
I don’t know when Lu Lin will be able to come back this time. I hope he can come back safely without any injuries.
Jiang Manyue stayed like this until dawn, still not sleepy at all. She sighed, stood up and prepared to make breakfast.
Lu Jun'an also got up early, and was a little nervous when he didn't see his uncle.
"Aunt, where's my uncle? Isn't he back?"
Lu Lin would not go to training so early. Since he was not at home at this time, Lu Jun'an knew that he probably did not come back last night.
"Your uncle went on an emergency mission. He came back last night to get his clothes. He will probably be back for several days."
A worried look immediately appeared on Lu Jun'an's face. "How many days will it take? Is it very dangerous?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "I don't know, but your uncle is so powerful, he will definitely be able to complete the task without getting hurt."
I said this to Lu Jun'an, and also to myself who was feeling flustered.
Jiang Manyue mentally calmed herself down, telling herself not to panic or be afraid. Lu Lin was so capable, he would definitely be able to return home safely.
Lu Jun'an didn't dare to say anything more. He could see that his aunt was also worried, so he had to comfort her instead.
"Don't worry, Auntie. My uncle is our family's hero. He will definitely come back safely, and he can even bring me some shells to play with!"
Lu Lin and Lu Jun'an had agreed to bring the bullet casings, and that they would bring him the bullet casings to make a pistol model whenever they had the chance.
Lu Jun'an carefully comforted his aunt, and Jiang Manyue also smiled at him, "Yes, your uncle is a great hero in our family, he will definitely come back safely."
After breakfast, Jiang Manyue was about to send Jun'an to school when Cheng's wife Liu Xuemei knocked on the door of the Lu family.
"Manyue, let's go send the kids to school together? Jianyong and Lu Lin are not here, so we can have some company."
Liu Xuemei was also panicked. She had just gotten married and had encountered such an urgent task. Last night, when she heard Cheng Jianyong ask him to be with Jiang Manyue, she came early.
Jiang Manyue nodded quickly, "Sister-in-law, I was just about to look for you. Lu Lin told me last night that he wanted me to go with you to pick up the kids and keep you company on the way."
Liu Xuemei smiled and said, "We are about the same age, so just call me Xuemei. I'm not used to being called sister-in-law."
Jiang Manyue also smiled, "Okay, Xuemei, have you eaten yet? If not, just have a bite at my house."
Liu Xuemei shook her head. "I've already eaten. I didn't sleep at all last night and got up early to cook."
Jiang Manyue felt the same way and immediately resonated with the situation. She quickly asked Lu Junan in the room to pack up his schoolbag, and the four of them went out.
The two children walked hand in hand in front, with Jiang Manyue and Liu Xuemei following closely behind.
"The alarm sirens scared me last night. I thought something terrible had happened. Jianyong came back and said he was going on a mission. He also said that several battalion commanders and regiment commanders had to go. Your Lu Lin just finished his mission and he has to go again. I was so scared."
"What kind of mission is that? It's so urgent. Your Lu Lin just finished his mission, and he went off again without even taking a break. So many officers are going too, leaving in the middle of the night without saying anything, leaving us at home worrying."
Liu Xuemei was worried no matter how she thought about it, but it seemed that there was no one else she could talk to about her worries except Jiang Manyue.
The other military wives in the compound had lived there for a long time and had experienced a lot of things. She had just married in and didn't know anything, so she was afraid of being laughed at if she said these things to them.
Jiang Manyue resonated with her words. "That's right, I saw several officers from the compound go there last night. The lowest rank officer in our compound is a battalion commander. With so many people from the compound going there, there must be even more single officers from the dormitory building."
"I don't know what the mission was, but Lu Lin came back and told them they only had 20 minutes to pack their luggage. It was so stressful in the middle of the night, I was so worried I couldn't sleep the whole night."
Liu Xuemei and Jiang Manyue seemed to have found a soulmate. They talked non-stop all the way. After sending their children to school, they went shopping for groceries together.
"Xuemei, don't go home and cook. Why don't you just cook at my house and eat together? It's troublesome to cook at two different places. Cheng Ge and Lu Lin are not at home anyway, and the two kids like to eat together."
Liu Xuemei also thought it was okay. Since the man was not at home and there was only one woman and one child, it would not be troublesome to start a fire.
You can't make too little, as it won't be enough, but you can't make too much and it won't be eaten up, which would be a waste.
After discussing it, the two families decided to cook together and do housework together, so that they would have something to focus on, otherwise they would always have wild thoughts if they were alone.
Jiang Manyue and Liu Xuemei returned to the compound together, did housework and cooked, and then went to pick up the children together. They stayed together almost the entire time, talking to each other, which helped them pass the time.
Jiang Manyue, who had some free time, went to look for Lu Lin's brothers, and found out that they had all gone on missions, which made her even more worried.
This went on for several days, and there was still no news about the people who went out on the mission. Moreover, the security in the military district became even tighter, which made people feel uneasy.
A few days later, all the side gates in the compound were sealed, and all family members were given an entry and exit pass, which they could only use to enter and exit through the main gate.
Now everyone in the compound was a little nervous. They didn’t know what had happened. Even the side door was not safe?
After Liu Xuemei heard the news, she simply moved all her bedding to the Lu family. It was better for two women to live with their child than for one person to live with the child.
Now the side gates of the compound are closed. Who knows if there is any danger?
The two families sleeping together can help each other. If anything happens, there is someone who can help call for help.
Jiang Manyue was more worried about Lu Lin who was on a mission outside, and just hoped that he could return safely as soon as possible.
After a few days, there was still no news of the people who carried out the mission. Jiang Manyue and Liu Xuemei were washing vegetables at home when a young man in military uniform came over.
"Excuse me, who is Comrade Lu Lin's family member?"
Jiang Manyue's heart trembled, "It's me, what's wrong?"
