Chapter 169 A new commander is coming? !

In the small suite in the corner of the third floor of the family compound, Zhai's family, laughter could be heard frequently.

Even though Cheng Xueru is just a girl from a nearby village, she has studied in high school for two years. She is usually busy with farm work and is also responsible for collecting food for the troops. She does not have time to relax like she has these two days.

The girl was a good girl. She could not resist the boy's request and accompanied Baoer to read the picture book "The Legend of Yue Fei".

I read all three picture books that Wang Ziru bought for Baoer at Kuncheng Railway Station.

"Auntie! Uncle Yue is a hero, right?"

"Yes! He is our national hero." The girl said firmly.

Zhai Qingsong gradually learned how to use the stove. While Cheng Xueru was here to accompany the little boy, the diligent farmer took a broom and cleaned the rooms thoroughly, making the windows bright and clean.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared at the door. The man who was squatting at the door and wiping the wooden door slowly raised his head and saw that it was Secretary Liu. "Secretary Liu, you are here?"

"Ah!" Officer Liu held back his grief and pointed at the girl who was holding a child and reading a picture book in the room, "I'm looking for Comrade Xueru..."

Zhai Qingsong stood up quickly, turned around and shouted to the beautiful girl, "Comrade Xueru, Officer Liu is looking for you."

"Looking for me? Secretary Liu, are you going to tell me that this batch of food is not enough?" Cheng Xueru's pretty face had a bright smile as she looked at Secretary Liu at the door, not noticing the sadness on the other's face at all.

Manager Liu shook his head and waved his hands, "You come out and talk first."

"Hey." Cheng Xueru gently stroked the boy's head, "Maybe you can only read the back one by yourself today. As long as you finish reading this one, I will take you to the town to catch up next time and buy you two more picture books."

"How about three?" Bao Er was a smart boy, and immediately raised three little fingers. "My mother always buys three books."

"Be good, listen to uncle, eat well, and sleep well at night, and I will buy you three picture books."

"I will definitely listen to you!"

The young man was reluctant to let such a beautiful aunt leave, so he quickly climbed down from the rattan chair and chased after her.

"Bao'er, Auntie still has work to do." Zhai Qingsong held the young man and stood by the door. With gratitude in his eyes, he nodded to the girl and said, "You go and do your work first."

Officer Liu looked back at the corridor filled with stoves from various households, but there was no one in the corridor.

At this time, the students have not yet returned from school, and most of the women have gone to the town school to pick up their children, or have gone out for a leisurely stroll on the road in groups.

He stood at the door and glanced back at the Zhai family's stove. He spoke in a low voice, and when he suddenly raised his eyes again, his eyes were red.

"Comrade Xueru, on behalf of the regiment, I would like to formally inform you of something..."

"What did you say? What happened to Peng Zhengyu?" The smile on Cheng Xueru's face froze, her mouth gradually opened wider, and tears as big as beans fell down her fair cheeks.

Manager Liu eased his sadness and relayed the message from the battlefield to the girl in front of him in one breath.

“How is this possible? I dreamed of Peng Zhengyu last night, how could it be…” The girl’s body went limp and she was about to collapse to the ground.

Zhuang Jiahan, who was standing at the door, had never thought that God would be so unfair to such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.

"Comrade Xueru!" Zhai Qingsong caught the girl's rapidly falling body reflexively and held her tightly, "How are you?"

"Aunt!!"

Bao Er screamed in fear.

"Wuwu..." Cheng Xueru cried and fell into Zhai Qingsong's arms. The belief she had always held was destroyed in an instant, and she didn't even see her husband for the last time.

Cadre Liu stood there with his head down. Seeing that Cheng Xueru found it hard to accept this result, he also found it hard to accept it.

Having worked in the military as a civilian for so many years, he had dealt with many such situations.

But most of those military wives have children, so even if their husbands are gone, they still have their children to support them.

Unlike Cheng Xueru, although this girl has a marriage certificate with Peng Zhengyu, due to the nature of Peng Zhengyu's work, he has been stationed at the border for the past year.

Everyone in the army knew that they were about to hold a formal wedding.

Now things got tricky, she became the youngest widow without even having a wedding.

After a while, Manager Liu choked up and said, "I'll arrange a car to take you home. Since your husband has no family other than you, I have to go to your house today to set up the mourning hall. I should send him home tonight or early tomorrow morning."

"The village where she lives is not too far from the troops, right?" Zhai Qingsong suddenly asked.

"Not far. Why don't you bring your children over to help? The girl is so kindhearted. We didn't know it, but she takes care of you two as if you were her own family."

"good!"

Officer Liu helped lock the door and signaled Zhai Qingsong to take Cheng Xueru to wait downstairs in the regiment headquarters.

He took the lead in arranging the car and other matters.

Zhai Qingsong remembered that he was only thirteen years old when his father left, and just like Cheng Xueru at this moment, he felt that the world had collapsed.

Taking Baoer and Cheng Xueru, he went downstairs to the regiment headquarters to wait.

The soldiers who stayed behind in the army soon heard the news from the battlefield.

After Liu went back to make some arrangements, two cars drove out, one of which took Cheng Xueru and others back to the village.

Another car went into town to buy funeral supplies.

…

The place where Baiteng Town stationed troops.

The atmosphere was very depressing. Because some warriors left, other warriors cried and had to grit their teeth to hold back their grief.

Wang Ziru gave the seriously injured person an IV drip and told the escorting health worker Deng Liang, "Make sure the injured person keeps getting IV drips and replenishing their energy on the way. No one else needs to move."

"I remember that."

A military vehicle urgently escorted the seriously injured patients out of the town and transferred them to the Xiong District Hospital for treatment.

Just after sending away the seriously injured patient, he turned around and saw Adjutant Wang and others hurriedly walking towards a house next door.

"Adjutant Wang! Should the injured soldier be sent back to the unit immediately?"

Adjutant Wang had just spoken to the regimental cadre office of the troop and heard that Cheng Xueru had been taking good care of the Zhai couple in the past few days.

Then he stopped and said, "Comrade Ziru, do you know that the comrade who left today will have his wedding next year, and his wife is kind-hearted and a good girl. What a pity..."

"You don't have to make a phone call. It is our comrade's wife who has been taking care of your brother and children in the army these days."

"Ah? Are you talking about the comrade who left today, whose wife is in the army helping us take care of the children and his uncle?" Wang Ziru was extremely surprised. She didn't expect to meet such a nice girl.

Adjutant Wang told her what he had heard from the regiment, and at the end, he pleaded, "I know Comrade Peng Zhengyu's wounds are not pretty. I want to ask if you can help fix them up. If he is sent back like this, it will probably scare his family! This child is pitiful. He lost his parents when he was young, and he finally married a girl from the same village, but..."

At some point, Zhai Ximo quietly appeared behind his wife.

Wang Ziru's eyes suddenly became blurred, she bit her palm, and could not utter a word. She could only nod.

She knew that the wives of the soldiers selected from the army had never done the work of sanitation workers, and she had been forcing them to do the work these days.

She must have been afraid of seeing that kind of scene, so she didn't let anyone else follow.

I went back to get the first aid kit, filled it with a roll of gauze, and then followed Adjutant Wang to the house next door.

As soon as you enter the mansion, you can feel the sadness in the air.

"I didn't expect that we would meet in this way." Wang Ziru put down the first aid kit in her hand, clasped her hands together, and saluted respectfully.

Afterwards, with the help of everyone, all the separated parts were sewed together.

I personally dressed him in new clothes and new shoes.

Duan Yanzhi was very surprised. He didn't expect that a young wife from the village who had just joined the army was not only brave and calm, but also behaved very decently.

Duan Yanzhi had experienced such scenes many times before. He arranged a car and sent several warriors to follow in the car to escort the hero home.

In the evening, the kitchen staff went out to distribute dinner, and they dared not make too much noise.

"Give the order and tell everyone to hurry up and eat!" Duan Yan hung up the phone, took a deep puff of cigarette, looked up and said to Xu Changhe.

"I have given the order."

That night, it was getting dark.

A well-equipped tank unit slowly entered Baiteng Town.

Wang Ziru was still in the ward changing the patients' dressings. When she heard the noise outside, she asked hurriedly, "What happened outside?"

"A new troop has arrived in Baiteng Town to support us!" Song Ling ran out to take a look, then came back excitedly and said, "It's impressive! It's a tank troop."

"Tanks? Do you know which military region they belong to?" Wang Ziru asked casually, and suddenly she was surprised. She immediately remembered something. When she was still in her hometown, Han Dixing told her that his second brother was in charge of the best armored division in Yun Province. Isn't that a tank division?

No way!

Could it be that Han Suijing is here?

Wang Ziru was confused for a moment. When she thought of this possibility, her hands couldn't stop shaking while changing the bandage.

"Song Ling, go outside and take another look!"

"Commander Duan is also waiting outside, as if he is waiting for those troops to come. If you go by yourself, if you run into the commander's gun, will you still be alive?" Song Ling is not a fool. At this time, she would do nothing unless she wants to live.

The town's main highway was soon occupied by a group of green iron lumps.

It is majestic, like the waves of the sea, and it is really shocking.

Duan Yanzhi asked someone to lead the way and take the tank division to the foot of the mountain.

Slightly tilted, from the entrance of the town all the way to the foot of Yunlu Mountain, it is like a dragon in the night, waiting for the commander's order.

Under everyone's gaze, the military jeep carrying the tank division commander slowly drove into the town and came straight to the front of the garrison mansion.

"Xu Changhe! Your replacement is here. Starting tonight, you will follow his orders." Duan Yan stood tall and straight on the road outside the gate, wearing a military coat. With one hand on Jianshuo's waist, he spoke to Xu Changhe who was standing beside him without turning his head.
