Chapter 63 Which two comrades

Xu Weilan's heart skipped a beat. "Which... two of you?"

As a soldier's family, I can't bear to hear this news.

Zhao Chunhua wiped her eyes and said uncomfortably, "Captain Jiang from Sister Chen Yin's family, and Instructor Yao from Sister Qi Lu's family."

Xu Weilan was confused, "Why would the instructor be on a mission?"

"Instructor Yao has strong combat capabilities and is good at this, so the leaders above approved his request." Zhao Chunhua choked up as she spoke.

Xu Weilan nodded, "Sister-in-law Chen Yin, you feel very uncomfortable, right?"

Zhao Chunhua wiped her eyes and said, "I just passed by and took a look. She was crying so hard that she looked unrecognizable."

Xu Weilan's heart was also in a knot. She wanted to go and see and comfort her husband, but if too many people went, it would only cause trouble to her and force her to constantly face the reality of her husband's sacrifice.

Zhao Chunhua sighed and left.

Xu Weilan followed Xu Nian with a heavy heart.

Xu Nian's eyes also turned red. "Sister, don't be sad. He sacrificed for the country. It is an honorable thing!"

Xu Weilan smiled: "Niannian, are you afraid?"

Xu Nian shook his head firmly, "I'm not afraid!"

Xu Weilan patted her shoulder gently, "Women are just as good as men."

She thought she would be scared and back off from joining the army.

The two returned home with heavy hearts.

Xu Weilan looked at Deputy Captain Zhu's house next door with concern, but saw that the door was closed and there was no sign of Xiao Shijie. She called out but received no response.

Battalion Commander Jiang and Instructor Yao died.

How about Deputy Head Zhu? Is he safe?

Why are Xiao Shijie and He Miao not at home?

He Miao should be off work at this time.

Xu Weilan was not at home, but Sister Mei still came over as usual to clean the house for her and bring her food.

So the house is very clean and we have everything we need to eat.

Xu Weilan was worried about the people next door, so she let Xu Nian do as he pleased.

Xu Nian saw her worry, washed his hands and cut some fruit for her, "Sister Lan, eat some fruit to replenish your water."

Xu Weilan ate the peach absentmindedly, watching what was happening outside.

Until night.

It's getting dark.

Xiao Shijie and He Miao haven't come back yet.

Zhao Chunhua came back. She went to the field to pick some vegetables and brought some beans to Xu Weilan. "Sister Xu, I planted these myself. They have worm eyes. You can pick them and eat them."

"Thank you, Sister Zhao. Deputy Captain Zhu went on a mission with them. Have you heard back any news about him? I haven't seen Xiao Shijie either, so I'm a little worried."

Zhao Chunhua looked at the Zhu family's front door and said, "Maybe He Miao took the children to the city for some shopping. This wasteful daughter-in-law loves to eat out and buy things.

Deputy Head Zhu should be fine."

Xu Weilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Deep down, she doesn't want anything to happen to any of her comrades.

Xu Weilan brought the beans home, and Xu Nian took them over and picked them, removing the heads and tails, and then the parts with worm eyes, and put them in a pot to soak.

Xu Nian asked, "Sister Lan, how do you eat these beans?"

"You perform."

Xu Weilan replied absentmindedly.

Xu Nian realized that her sister was unhappy because someone had been sacrificed, and she was probably also worried about her brother-in-law.

Xu Nian’s cooking skills are not as good as Xu Qian’s, but they are also good.

Soon she prepared dinner.

It happened that He Miao and Xiao Shijie came back from outside.

Xu Weilan opened the door and shouted, "Sister He, has Shijie eaten yet? Come to my house for dinner."

When He Miao saw Xu Weilan coming back, he smiled and said, "We went to a restaurant."

Having said that, he looked at Xiao Shijie.

Little Shijie ran to Xu Weilan's yard, "Pretty sister, this is the mountain produce that grandma sent. It smells really good. Try it."

Xu Weilan took the bag without hesitation and said, "Come in and sit down."

"good!"

He Miao entered the room unceremoniously.

Xu Weilan saw that He Miao looked like this and seemed to be unaware of the sacrifices of Captain Jiang and Instructor Yao. Maybe they were out at that time, so they missed each other.

Xu Weilan introduced Xu Nian to the two of them.

Xu Nian was very outgoing and they became friends in no time.

Xu Nian cooked braised pork with beans, fried a tomato and egg, and served the rice.

He Miao saw that they were going to eat and prepared to leave.

Xu Weilan was afraid that if she went out, someone would talk too much, so she said, "Sister He, sit down and play. I have some parts of the script that I want to discuss with you.

If you don't mind, come and try my sister's cooking skills."

"Okay!"

He Miao was totally rude.

Little Shijie looked at his mother speechlessly. How rude of her.

After dinner.

He Miao wanted to go out for a walk, but Xu Weilan said, "Why walk? It's so hot outside. It's not as cool as home."

Xiao Shijie noticed something was wrong, and looked at Xu Weilan, blinking his eyes, as if to say: What's the secret?

Xu Weilan also blinked, asking him to cooperate.

Xiao Shijie cooperated.

He Miao was forced to stay until nine o'clock in the evening before being allowed to go home.

Xu Weilan tried her best but still couldn't resist God's arrangement.

Xu Nian had just finished washing the clothes, and Xu Weilan hung them up.

Someone's coming from next door.

Xu Nian looked the female comrade up and down. She looked like she had been crying. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked pitiful.

He Miao opened the door, "Hey, Sister Qi, why are you here so late?"

Last name Qi?

Xu Nian instantly thought of Qi Lu.

She didn't interact much with Qi Lu, and they even rarely met.

I heard Zhao Chunhua mention it a few times.

Qi Lu is a city girl with a job. She looks down on those people who come from the countryside. She is usually arrogant and doesn't take anyone seriously.

Even though He Miao was a poor man, he never looked down on anyone.

Although both are city girls, Zhao Chunhua likes He Miao more.

Of course, Qi Lu, who thought she was superior to others, didn't interact much with these old military wives and rural women.

He only interacted with city lesbians of status like He Miao or Xu Moli.

While Xu Weilan was thinking about this, Qi Lu burst into tears, "Sister He, wuu ...

As she spoke, she hugged He Miao directly.

He Miao was frightened and asked nervously, "Lulu, don't cry. Tell me who bullied you, and I'll go and settle the score with her!"

Qi Lu burst into tears, "Sister He, my old Yao has died! How could he be so selfish! He was not originally supposed to have this mission.

He insisted on getting involved! Now he has lost his life and he can never come back! They say his body has not even been found!

"Oh... Sister He... What should I do? How can I live?"

He Miao stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to digest what Qi Lu said.

She, who has always had a slow brain, suddenly thought of Xu Weilan's abnormal behavior tonight, so she knew about it. She was afraid that she would worry, so she didn't let her go for a walk in the family yard. She was afraid that she would receive this news and feel sad.

He Miao turned his head and looked at Xu Weilan, "Weilan, did you know this a long time ago?"

Xu Weilan nodded. "I just don't want you to have any wild thoughts. Deputy Commander Zhu should be fine."

He Miao's mind went blank and she nodded instinctively. Then she looked at Qi Lu crying in front of her. She had no time to think more and kept comforting Qi Lu.

Xu Weilan also wanted to comfort Qi Lu, but she felt that whatever she said would be in vain and powerless.
