In Fu'an County, Wen Sitian and Funiu were packing up. She first took out the things in the chest of drawers, then pushed it open with force, revealing the secret compartment. Then she took out the jewelry box hidden inside, opened it and found that the one thousand yuan and gold jewelry inside were intact. After closing the lid, she put them into the canvas backpack she carried with her.
After finishing all this, she put the chest of drawers back in place, wrapped her own clothes and those of Xu Jianguo and his sister in sheets, and placed them on the bed. Then she went to the main room, tied up the remaining food, and carried it out to the yard, bag by bag.
Funiu sat obediently on the clothes, watching her busy sister-in-law. The little girl was very quiet now and did not run around like usual. She seemed to feel the uneasiness in Wen Sitian's heart, which made her a little at a loss.
“Boom boom boom!”
Someone knocked on the gate. Xiao Hei stood up and called out a few times. Wen Sitian walked out of the house and opened the gate. She saw Ma Guoqiang standing outside the door, and behind him stood seven or eight soldiers, including four female soldiers.
"Hello, Comrade Wen Sitian, I have brought people to help you clean up your house. In addition, the superiors have agreed to your request. After you have cleaned up here, you can go to the Armed Forces Department with me, where you can contact Comrade Xu Jianguo." Ma Guoqiang said.
When Wen Sitian heard that she could talk to Xu Jianguo, her eyes lit up immediately, and her originally uneasy mood gradually calmed down.
"Minister Ma, thank you!" Wen Sitian said with a smile.
"Well, you're welcome. You are a military dependent, and I have an obligation to help you solve the problem!" said Ma Guoqiang.
Wen Si nodded, looked at the soldiers behind Ma Guoqiang, and said, "Everyone, please come in. Thank you for coming to help me!"
The soldiers all smiled and said you're welcome, then under Wen Sitian's command, they began to clean up in an orderly manner.
When the last bundle was packed, more than an hour had passed. Ma Guoqiang looked at his watch and said, "Come on, it's getting late. Everyone, hurry up and get the luggage into the car. We'll have lunch in the cafeteria at noon."
"Yes!" the soldiers agreed and began to walk out with their luggage. After the last piece of luggage was moved away, Wen Sitian led Funiu to the gate of the courtyard, and Xiao Hei followed them.
The two people and the dog looked into the yard. The wedding characters on the doors and windows were still there, and the lace patterns in the main room were still shining. This was Wen Sitian and Xu Jianguo's new home, and it was also the place where she grew from a girl to a woman, full of the most beautiful memories.
Funiu looked at the slide and rocking horse that Xu Jianguo had made for her, and asked reluctantly, "Sister-in-law, are we coming back?"
Wen Sitian knew what the little girl was thinking. She looked down at her, patted her head, and said with a smile, "I probably won't be back in the short term, but don't worry. When your sister-in-law sees your brother, I'll definitely ask him to make you a slide and a rocking horse, okay?"
When the little girl heard this, she immediately said happily: "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, don't forget to tell Gaga, I want a bigger slide!"
"Okay, sister-in-law will definitely tell him!" Wen Sitian said, then took another look at the scene in the yard, closed the door and locked it, and led Funiu and Xiaohei towards the entrance of the alley.
At this time at the Black Mountain Base, Xu Jianguo had just hung up the phone with Gao Wangshan. He had already called Lin Xiangdong and Gao Wangshan separately to express his most sincere gratitude. As Xu Jianguo's elders, they were very happy to know that he had joined the army. At the same time, they also knew that the confidentiality level of his unit should be very high, so they did not ask too many questions, but just told him to take care of himself and pay attention to safety!
Xu Jianguo was moved and wanted to pick up the phone to contact the Fu'an County Armed Forces Department. At this time, Zhao Gang walked in and said, "Jianguo, are you going to contact Minister Ma?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"It's like this. Minister Ma said when he contacted the leader before that he would bring people to your house to help pack your luggage and would probably be back at noon. He meant to arrange your family first, and after they have lunch, he will bring them to the office to contact you. I hope you don't worry." Zhao Gang said.
After listening to this, Xu Jianguo smiled knowingly. He thought that although he had only met Minister Ma once, he was indeed thoughtful in handling this matter. Funiu was a child after all, and if she went hungry, he, as her brother, would also feel distressed.
"Brother Zhao, will Minister Ma contact this number?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"Yes, that's what the chief said!"
"Okay, I understand, thank you!"
"It's okay. Why don't you go to the cafeteria to have lunch first? I guess it will be about time when you come back."
"No need, Brother Zhao, I'm not hungry yet, you go eat!"
Seeing that Xu Jianguo was not interested in eating at all, Zhao Gang could only let him go. He turned around and went out, asking other soldiers to help get food. He then went to the monitoring room next door and waited with Xu Jianguo. There was no other way, as this was the task assigned to him by the commander.
Xu Jianguo sat motionless in the chair, waiting for the phone on the table to ring. He waited for more than an hour.
"Ding-ling-ling!"
A crisp telephone ring sounded, and Xu Jianguo immediately picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"
Wen Sitian on the other end of the phone held the receiver nervously with both hands, but when she heard the familiar voice coming from the phone, all the uneasiness and worry that had accumulated in her heart disappeared in an instant.
