"Jianguo called me today and said he would take his wife and children with him to join the army."
Ran Xiasheng asked: "What's going on?"
He knew Zhai Jianguo's situation, and Jianguo did not meet the conditions to join the army.
The army has regulations that only officers who have reached the level of deputy battalion commander are eligible to accompany the troops.
Jianguo is an outstanding person. He has been participating in battles and missions with him in recent years, and is now a deputy company-level cadre.
Going up two levels, you can reach the rank of deputy battalion commander.
This is not a difficult task for the special operations team who have been on the front line all year round and completing important and arduous tasks.
It only took Zhai Jianguo six years to go from an ordinary soldier to his current position as deputy company commander.
Six years may seem like a long time, but in fact, for these soldiers, it is not that long.
If it weren't for the war years, conventional promotion would not be so easy.
To be promoted from a soldier to a platoon leader requires exceptional performance, and it takes at least two years to be promoted. To be promoted from a platoon leader to a deputy company commander requires at least four years.
This is still going very smoothly.
If things don't go well, there are people who have been working as platoon leaders for ten years.
There are still vacancies in the above positions.
Some people served as platoon leaders until they retired without ever being promoted.
But they are not limited by this boundary when they fight on the front line.
On the battlefield, anything can happen.
If a company is wiped out, the last surviving soldier may be promoted and may even become a substitute company commander.
That's how he became a company commander.
At that time, only one squad was left in their company, and he was the squad leader.
He completed the task again with flying colors and was finally promoted to acting company commander.
Although this acting company commander took him some time to remove the word "acting" from his title.
Like now, his official position should be deputy battalion commander, but he also serves as acting battalion commander.
The reason why I use the word "agent" temporarily is because sometimes the conditions are not yet mature, so we just act as an agent temporarily.
But after becoming an acting commander, unless there are major military errors, there is basically no difference between him and being a formal commander.
Therefore, Zhai Jianguo was a very outstanding soldier.
Unless something unexpected happens, Zhai Jianguo's future military career will be extremely smooth.
Very much possible.
"Did something happen at home?" This was all Ran Xiasheng could think of.
It is impossible for Zhai Jianguo to call and inform us about the military affairs. No one is more likely to get the information than him.
That's the only one.
Old Yang nodded: "Yes, something happened in Jianguo's home."
Ran Yingying, who was originally struggling with the little ball of cotton in her ear, suddenly raised her head.
There is a situation!
She stopped picking the cotton balls in her ears and grabbed the clothes on Ran Xiasheng's chest with her chubby little hands.
Ran Xiasheng, who was asking Lao Yang about something, felt his chest itching, as if being scratched by a cat, and lowered his head.
He saw his daughter's dark eyes staring at him longingly.
Ran Xiasheng: "Yingying, are you sleepy? Don't worry, Daddy stuffed you with some cotton. Daddy and uncle's words won't affect your sleep. Daddy will pat you."
Ran Yingying: …
Dad, I don't want to sleep.
I just...
Want to hear how your brother is doing?
Such a simple wish, you won't let me realize it?
Ran Yingying widened her eyes and looked at Ran Xiasheng longingly.
Dad, you are the most handsome and you can definitely help your daughter realize her wish.
The father and daughter looked at each other, and Ran Xiasheng was amused by his daughter's cute look.
He pulled up the quilt to cover his daughter's small body, and gently scratched her small nose with his index finger, "Be good, go to sleep, Daddy will hold you." He coaxed her.
Old Yang smiled and said, "Old Ran, why do I have a feeling that this kid can understand what we are saying?"
Ran Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes! I can understand.
Ran Xiasheng said, "How is that possible? How old is Yingying? She's not even a month old yet, how is it possible for her to understand what we are saying?" This is impossible.
If you can really understand it, wouldn't that make you a spirit?
Ran Yingying didn’t know what her father was thinking. If she knew what he was thinking, she would definitely jump out and shout: I have become an immortal!
Old Yang smiled and said, "I think your daughter is quite smart. Look at the way her eyes move. It seems like she can understand what I am saying." He was joking.
Ran Xiasheng had already changed his daughter's position to a comfortable one to prevent her from sleeping uneasily.
"My Yingying is the smartest." Ran Xiasheng felt that no one could compare to his precious daughter.
The father and daughter began to stare at each other again.
Ran Xiasheng stuffed his daughter's little head into his arms again, supporting her back with one hand and patting and coaxing her gently with the other.
never mind……
Ran Yingying lies like a salted fish.
In fact, this small cotton ball cannot block her hearing.
She is psychic, what sound can escape her?
only……
Originally, Ran Yingying had no intention of using her spiritual consciousness. After all, no matter how small her spiritual consciousness was, it would still consume her spiritual power and soul power.
But at critical moments, you should still use it, as it is a good way to exercise your spiritual flexibility.
"What happened in Jianguo that made you make such a request?" A man who was not eligible to join the army but asked to bring his wife and children with him, there must be a reason.
Old Yang said: "Jianguo had not been home for three years. He went back happily to visit his family, but he did not expect that his two brothers wanted to sell his son. He was so angry that he beat them up and sent them to the police station."
Ran Xiasheng frowned. Selling people?
Ran Yingying also widened her eyes. Human trafficker?
She was stunned.
She knew that her brother's two uncles were not good people. When her father went to take her brother back in his previous life, he was tortured beyond recognition.
She thought that was the most brutal thing to do, but she didn't expect that she thought too highly of him.
There is no worst, only worse.
Sell your brother?
Is this something uncle can do?
That's their nephew.
She had never heard that Zhai's father and those two were not brothers.
How come she heard that they were biological brothers?
Are you still not human?
Ran Yingying was so angry that her face turned red and her eyes widened.
Baozi's face was full of anger.
How abominable!
Ran Xiasheng punched the armrest of the chair, but then he thought of his daughter in his arms, and gently put down his fist that was about to hit the armrest without making a sound.
I almost forgot about my daughter in my arms and almost made a loud noise.
Ran Xiasheng whispered to Lao Yang: "Have those two beasts been punished?"
Old Yang said: "When Jianguo called me, they had already arrived in the town and handed the man over to the police station. When I received the call, I called the armed forces there. We have internal lines for the armed forces in various places. I informed them immediately and told them about this matter. The hero is out there protecting his country, but there is such a scoundrel in his family who wants to sell the hero's son."
Ran Xiasheng nodded: "Such a scum should be shot! Where is the child's mother? Why did she let the child be sold without doing anything? If Jianguo hadn't arrived in time, would the child have been sold?"
Old Yang said, "I think so too. Besides, who knows what life is like for the children when Jianguo is not around."
Ran Xiasheng suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is the child's mother?"
How could a mother allow such a thing to happen?
Can't even protect your own children?
The uncle who lived one floor away from me almost sold the child?
Also, what about the village cadres in the village?
Is this how you treat a hero's child?
Ran Yingying was also angry and screamed "Ah Ah".
But then she rubbed her father's chest with both hands to calm him down.
But don't get angry. Anger damages your liver, which is not a good thing.
Only after she calmed down her father's anger did Ran Yingying prick up her ears.
The little ball of cotton in her ear was jumping around as her ear moved.
Old Yang said, "Jianguo hasn't told me about his wife yet. I also thought it was strange at the time. Even if Jianguo wasn't around, the child's mother would still be around, right? How could she allow my uncle to do this? To rape her own child?"
"If a mother doesn't even take care of her own children, what else can she do?" Ran Xiasheng gritted his teeth.
Old Yang did not comment.
This is the Zhai family's business, and as outsiders, it is not easy for them to say anything.
They knew nothing about the specific situation between Zhai Jianguo and his wife.
It’s hard to say who is right or wrong here.
But Lao Ran is right, a mother who can't even protect her own children is really useless.
"Does Jianguo want to take the child to the army?" Ran Xiasheng automatically forgot about Zhai Jianguo's wife.
Old Yang nodded. "That's what Jianguo meant. He said he no longer feels comfortable leaving his children at home. What if he returns to the army and these two bastards come and harm the children again?"
"Are we going to keep these beasts around for the New Year? Won't the government bring legal action against them?" Ran Xiasheng gritted his teeth.
Such people should be shot to prevent them from harming others again.
Since they can sell their nephew, they can definitely sell other people's children.
Maybe, you have done it more than once.
Old Yang said: "This is of course the best outcome. What if they are not punished in the end? After all, they did not actually sell the child."
Unless they have a criminal record.
If there is a criminal record, even if the human trafficking attempt fails, the offender will still be sentenced.
At least a few years in jail.
Ran Xiasheng said, "Old Yang, if you want to get this done, contact the Armed Forces Department and the Public Security Bureau. Oh, I'll talk to Old Wu too, and ask him to call the Public Security Bureau. If you need me, I can call the government in person in the name of the army. I want to see these two bastards serve their sentences, and I don't care what method you use."
Lao Yang said, "I have informed the Armed Forces Department over there, and they said they will investigate this matter. As for the company bureau, we are not in the same system, so it is not easy to call them. I will talk to Lao Wu about this matter. Jianguo was once my soldier, and I work in the Armed Forces Department now. The army's affairs are originally under my jurisdiction. I will negotiate with Lao Wu."
Ran Xiasheng nodded. It would be fine if Lao Yang came forward.
"The country is taking this very seriously now, and with our armed forces stepping in, we may be able to bring the perpetrators to justice."
Ran Xiasheng's anger subsided a little. "When you need me to come forward, come to the Ambassador Hotel and tell me."
"I know how you feel right now. Don't worry, I will definitely get it done."
Ran Xiasheng and Lao Yang felt the same way. Soldiers go through life and death outside, but their own children are almost sold in their hometown. How do they feel?
Looking at Ran Xiasheng's gloomy face, Old Yang also knew that he was feeling angry.
It was no wonder that Ran Xiasheng was angry. Jianguo was not only his soldier, but also his brother in life and death. His brother's child was treated like this. Just thinking about it would make him angry.
Wasn't he also angry when he heard the news?
Old Yang said: "Jianguo said at the time that he was really worried about his children at home, so he wanted to ask if he could accompany the army."
Ran Xiasheng said: "Jianguo has not yet reached the conditions for his family to accompany the army, so it will definitely not work if the army intervenes."
"Jianguo called me and said the same thing. If the army knew about this and he brought someone to the army, they would definitely discharge him and send him home immediately. So he wanted to ask for your opinion on what to do about this matter."
Ran Xiasheng pondered, "He hasn't met the conditions to accompany the army yet, so the army certainly can't come to him, nor can he live with the army. But the current war situation in the southwest is not suitable for military families to live with the army. What I mean is that he should rent a house in the nearest county like us, but..."
This also poses a problem. The child is so young. If the mother does not go with the child, how will the child live?
This is indeed a difficult problem.
If the child's mother goes there, of course there will be no problem.
But if the child could be sold, is the mother still in her hometown?
Ran Xiasheng was deeply suspicious.
I don’t know what’s going on with Zhai Jianguo.
Old Yang said, "I think so too. When you came back this time, you wanted to bring your sister-in-law back to join the army, but the conditions were not yet ripe, and Jianguo's conditions were even less ripe. If your sister-in-law went there, we would have to consider survival and safety issues. If Jianguo's children went there, they would have no chance of survival."
Ran Xiasheng didn't say anything. Old Yang had asked him about the issue of joining the army before, and even advised him.
He also knew that Lao Yang's idea was correct and the conditions were not ripe for him to join the army.
If the name Jianguo was added to the mix, Ran Xiasheng suddenly got a headache.
…
Ran Yingying listened and was also thinking about this question.
In the previous life, my brother's mother remarried. Could it be that...
She thought of a possibility.
Suddenly, swear words burst out!
My brother’s mother can’t be so vicious, right?
I wonder if Mr. Zhai knows about this?
The author has something to say: Ran Yingying: Don’t be afraid, brother, the Ran family will support you.
Zhai Hong felt awkward:...Okay.
