Chapter 70: No Return
The deputy head of the regiment, Zhang Zhengxin, was even more strange. A 10-year-old deputy head of the regiment, his physique was not even as good as He Yong's, and he could not go on any emergency missions at all.
In their Southwest Military Region, if the deputy commander does not lead the team in combat, it will be difficult for him to get promoted.
He and his father have no political problems. Why would he come to the Southwest Military Region at this time?
There was also the deputy brigade commander Feng Qiang upstairs, a typical smiling tiger. He was very humble in front of He Jianguo, and he didn't get angry even when Zhao Zhigang ignored him.
It's as if he came to the Southwest Military Region to retire, the military region with the worst conditions in China? Deputy brigade commanders of other military regions do not need morning training.
Cheng Jinghao put out the cigarette butt in his mouth and said, "Let's go home and have dinner."
At noon, Zhao Zhigang and Li He went to Lin Momo's house for lunch.
Li He cooked the meal. They brought food and vegetables to Cheng's house to cook.
"The family members taking action now are only from He Yong's family." Zhao Zhigang said.
Cheng Jinghao shook his chopsticks. "It's mainly because my wife and sister-in-law rarely go out. Our two families are the last ones, so we have to pass by so many houses."
"Then He Yong's family is really brave." Li He couldn't help but admire him after hearing this.
"She looks older than you, and she even mentioned your sister-in-law. People like her are very good at dealing with people." Lin Momo said with a smile while drinking her soup.
"Shall we go out for a walk this afternoon?" Lin Momo looked at Li He.
Li He was about to agree when Cheng Jinghao shook his head.
"No, wait until Su Hong comes." He looked at his wife with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"What's the riddle between you two? Why do you have to wait for Su Hong to show up before you go?" Li He was puzzled.
"They are worried that if something happens to you when you go out, the people who are supposed to come to visit won't come," Zhao Zhigang explained to his wife.
Cheng Jinghao looked at him with appreciation, and this time he understood.
"I don't know when she will come, so she won't come over for the next few days. Momo, if you have anything to say, just stand in the yard and shout, and come over immediately." Li He was afraid of bumping into Su Hong.
"Okay." Lin Momo smiled and nodded to Li He.
After the discussion, everyone was happily eating their meal, but He Yong's family felt a little nervous.
"You accepted it and didn't say anything?" He Yong looked at Su Hong.
"No, I didn't say anything. Why is this different from the situation I encountered before?" Su Hong looked frustrated.
She had done this kind of thing before in the Southern Military Region. It wasn't that she sternly warned them not to accept it, but if they accepted it, they would leak some information anyway.
"Why don't we go to Captain Cheng's home again? Maybe the dog is from his family, so his wife confiscated it?" Su Hong looked at He Yong.
"Okay, then you go again and buy another pack of cigarettes." He Yong thought for a while and said, "You have to have a good relationship with the guy next door. Xu Gang is the deputy captain of the second combat team. It would be fine if he could join the second team."
"Do you want to take some things over?" Su Hong asked.
"No need. Just say hello when we meet. Cheng Jinghao has the final say on who joins the combat team." He Yong shook his head and looked at Su Hong. "Thank you for letting me come to the southwest with you. It's hard work."
"What are you talking about? We are husband and wife." Su Hong shook her head. She was the daughter-in-law chosen by the He family for He Yong. She was five years older than him.
As for Lin Momo, Li He and her two children helped clean up after dinner and then went back to take a nap.
Cheng Jinghao hugged Lin Momo and leaned against the kang, gently stroking her belly. It had grown a lot in the past few days, and she couldn't wear her previous clothes, which were all made recently.
"Where do they come from those eggs?" Lin Momo couldn't help but ask. She really couldn't figure it out.
"After all, He Yong's father was a high-ranking official in the compound. It's normal for him to have some influence in various places." He Yong's background is similar to Zhao Zhigang's. He is the only one left in his family for several generations, so naturally all the treasures will be placed on him.
"Then do you think it could be him?" Lin Momo looked up at Cheng Jinghao.
He shook his head. "No, but I'm not absolutely sure. Maybe he really came here to earn merit. Maybe he was from the Southern Military Region before. There used to be spies in the Southern Military Region, and he happened to be the brigade commander of his brigade."
After all, the civil war happened too long ago, and there have been many transfers of personnel in many positions, so it is hard to tell who is and who is not.
All three of them were suspects. He Yong and Feng Qiang came here on their own initiative, but Zhang Zhengxin's background made it possible for him to be transferred here.
"You should also pay attention. This is considered as contact with family members, so you have to be more careful. No one can be sure whether it is a family member. I made a few bottles of chili water, made of devil pepper. If it is dangerous, you can take it out and spray it. Put it at the cash register." Cheng Jinghao instructed.
He originally didn't intend to let Lin Momo get involved in this matter, it was her request. After all, they are husband and wife, and if he really is a spy, she will definitely be unavoidable.
It is better to take the initiative to avoid being passive.
After Cheng Jinghao went to training in the afternoon, Su Hong came to the house. Lin Momo didn't expect her to come so soon.
Su Hong was worried that she would be turned away, so she felt a little restrained.
"Come in." Lin Momo opened the door.
"Okay." Su Hong breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with a smile.
He put the basket in the bag on the table and took out the things inside one by one. Sure enough, there was one more cigarette than in the bag.
Lin Momo poured her a glass of water, which was just plain boiled water. "We don't have any brown sugar at home, so drink this."
"Thank you." Su Hong took it with a smile, feeling a little flattered. She didn't even get to drink boiled water in Li He's place that morning.
"You haven't collected your things yet. You have to tell me why you came to see me." Lin Momo looked at Su Hong.
Su Hong was a little surprised when she heard her words. Does this mean that if you can do it, she will accept it, and if you can't do it, she won't accept it?
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask about the combat team." Su Hong looked at her implicitly.
"Captain He wants to join the combat team?" Lin Momo asked instead of answering.
"Yes." Su Hong gave a clear answer, "We came to the southwest to earn military merit."
"You can also earn military merit in the south." Lin Momo poured herself a glass of water and drank it shallowly, but her eyes never left Su Hong.
The Southern Military District is close to the South Bank, and various attempts on the South Bank are everywhere.
Su Hong shook her head. "Since they caught a spy two years ago, their brigade hasn't been able to get involved in any missions."
It was also at that time that He Yong's position as battalion commander came to a standstill.
Lin Momo nodded and said, "Take the things back. The combat team has its own rules. My lover won't accept them."
"I heard that Captain He has never been the commander of a company, so he can't join the combat team."
Lin Momo put down the cup and said, "He Yong can't get past the first requirement to join the combat team, let alone the others."
"Is there really no other way?" Su Hong didn't want to give up.
Lin Momo shook her head and stopped talking, but she didn't send the guest away either.
After a long time, Su Hong saw that she really didn't say anything more, so she stood up and prepared to leave.
"You can take the things with you. I can't help you with anything." Lin Momo said with a smile.
"No, I'll keep it for your health. Thank you anyway." Su Hong smiled and left with the empty basket.
He looked at Su Hong's back as she left, and then looked at the things on the table. If it wasn't them, why would they resort to bribery if they really wanted to gain military merit?
Coming from a large compound, you should know that this is a road of no return.
