Chapter 72 Letter from Shanghai
He Tingjun replied directly: "Then we can't get married early. Otherwise, if anything happens to her, it will be a disservice to the girl."
Being blocked by He Tingjun's words, Yang Yuanfan was filled with frustration. "Don't say such unlucky words. The soldiers under my command have to stand on the battlefield and finally come back standing. There is no chance of survival."
A smile flashed across He Tingjun's cold eyes: "You were the one who said it first."
"I just wanted to persuade you to get married soon..." When Yang Yuanfan met He Tingjun's smiling peach blossom eyes, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.
I thought: With this look, even a grown man thinks he's handsome, so how could any young girl or young wife not love him? It must be that he hasn't figured it out yet, otherwise no one would worry about finding a wife, nor would he.
You never know when the time will come. When the time comes, destiny will naturally come.
㹏If this kid is too stubborn, he’s even more stubborn than a cow!
He couldn't persuade her, so he could only think about the good side.
Yang Yuanfan sighed helplessly: "Forget it, do whatever you want. If I talk too much, I'll seem nagging and annoying."
He Tingjun followed his words and said, "It's good that you know!"
"You brat! How dare you despise me!"
Yang Yuanfan was so angry that he was breathing heavily and pointed at He Tingjun's nose. "Tomorrow morning, we will have a 30-mile field training! You must carry 25 kilograms! No rest allowed!"
He Tingjun stood at attention and saluted: "I promise to complete the mission!"
Yang Yuanfan was so angry that he ran away!

The fifth company camp at the foot of the low mountain was covered with a layer of white snow.
The heavy snow finally stopped in the afternoon, and the old employees and educated youth in the company were assigned the task of clearing snow.
Yun Qiao was given a large broom made of reed grass, and together with the educated youth Wang Ru and Zheng Wenjing, he was responsible for clearing the snow from the educated youth compound to the threshing ground.
Wang Ru used an upside-down wooden rake to push the snow, Zheng Wenjing used a wooden spade to shovel the snow, and Yun Qiao used a large reed broom to sweep the remaining snow to both sides of the road.
The three of them divided the work and cooperated with each other. By mid-afternoon, they had finally cleared the snow from the educated youth compound to the threshing ground.
In the threshing ground, Yun Qiao also met the company's communicator, Comrade Lu Xun, who was talking to a few male educated youth. When he saw Yun Qiao, he suddenly waved to her.
"Comrade Ye Yunqiao, there is a letter for you."
Yun Qiao immediately walked towards Lu Xun. As he got closer, he noticed that the material of his trousers, from the hem to his calf, was darker than the rest of the material, as if it were wet. His cotton-padded shoes were also soaked by the melting snow, their light green color turning a darker shade of green.
"Comrade Lu, you are truly dedicated! The snow is so thick outside today, and the roads are difficult to walk on. It's incredible that you're still taking the trouble to travel back and forth between our company and the regiment headquarters under such circumstances."
"That's my job! Braving the wind and snow, staying at my post is my mission!" Lu Xun smiled and took out a few letters from his leather bag. "Comrade Ye, these are letters from you female educated youth, and there's one for you, too. I happened to meet you here, so please take them back."
"OK."
Yun Qiao took the letter and returned to the dormitory with Wang Ru and Zheng Wenjing.
While still on the road, Zheng Wenjing couldn't wait to ask, "Yun Qiao, take a quick look, is there a letter from me?"
Wang Ru also looked at her expectantly.
Yun Qiao flipped through the letters and found that they were only from himself and three other female educated youth.
"No." Yun Qiao said, "The weather has been bad recently. It has snowed heavily for several days in a row. The letter may have been delayed on the way. Maybe it will arrive if we wait a little longer."
Zheng Wenjing and Wang Ru couldn't hide their disappointment. "Okay, I hope Comrade Lu can bring a letter from home next time he goes to the regiment headquarters."
When they returned to the educated youth dormitory, the others were still sweeping the snow and had not returned yet, so Yun Qiao left his letter and placed the other letters on the table in the main room, in the most conspicuous place.
