They were the first squad Lin Yuan led. Lin Yuan often said to them, "This is my first time being a squad leader and leading a squad. I may lack experience and be a bit strict with you. My time with you is only about three years. Since your parents have entrusted you to the army, I will return to them a qualified soldier after three years."
It was because of one sentence from him that all ten students in the class were deeply moved. But after the initial感动 (moved/touched), he began to train them relentlessly, much like a ruthless exploiter, hoping they would be even better three years from now.
However, they might have thought Lin Yuan was strict, ruthless, and like the King of Hell in the first year, but after a year or two, and now in their third year, the squad leader is like an older brother to them. He not only cares about their life in the army, but also about those who have difficulties at home.
Therefore, behind his back, the soldiers in the platoon would secretly call him "boss".
"You two go sit over there, I'll drive!" Lin Yuan waited for Yang Yuan to open the car door, threw her bag onto the back seat, and got into the driver's seat herself.
The car they drove was a military jeep. Lin Yuan had a pretty good idea of what was going on since the instructor had sent this vehicle to pick him up; it must be another special mission.
Therefore, he didn't ask the two why they had summoned him back earlier than expected. He guessed they didn't know either, and that they were only there on orders to pick him up.
"Hehe, good. Boss, you're a better driver than us, so you'll be faster on the road. The instructor and the people from above are waiting for you!" Yang Yuan said in a low voice.
Lin Yuan nodded.
It turns out that someone from above has arrived. It seems that the target of this special mission is someone of considerable importance.
"By the way, boss, I heard you went back to find a girlfriend this time?" Feng Wei asked Lin Yuan, leaning on the back of the front seat.
Lin Yuan nodded, "They got married yesterday, so you should call her 'sister-in-law' from now on..."
After saying that, he thought that by the time Huanhuan came in winter, everyone in the class might have recovered and he might not be able to see her again, so he silently shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.
"Oh, you got married yesterday? Did you receive the telegram yesterday?" the two asked in surprise.
Lin Yuan nodded, "Yes, around 3 p.m. yesterday."
"Ah, shouldn't you accompany your sister-in-law back to her parents' home today?" Yang Yuan said softly.
Lin Yuan nodded, "Yes, I dropped her off at my father-in-law's house and left immediately. I won't be able to attend the homecoming banquet tomorrow!"
Yang Yuan and Feng Wei immediately fell silent.
The eldest son only gets married once in his life, and then he encounters an emergency mission.
When they returned to their unit, it was already past 2 a.m., but the lights were still on in the offices of the political instructor and his colleagues.
Lin Yuan got out of the car and told the two of them to park the car. He then picked up his briefcase and went into the instructor's office.
"Reporting to the instructor, Squad Leader Lin Yuan of Squad 9 has returned to the unit and is reporting for duty!" Lin Yuan put down his bag and saluted the people in the room one by one.
The instructor, surnamed Huang, saw Lin Yuan and quickly stood up, waving his hand to indicate, "Lin Yuan, you're back. I'm sorry, this matter was a bit urgent. The leaders above came to pick you up personally, so we had no choice but to urge you to come back first. The remaining leave will be made up for when you take your next vacation."
Lin Yuan responded with a "yes," and looked at the other leaders, including their battalion commander and their company commander. He then looked at the only unfamiliar middle-aged man, thinking that this must be the leader from above.
"Let me introduce you. This is Commander Fu from a military region in the capital. You will be going with him to carry out a secret mission. You can return to your unit when the mission is completed."
Lin Yuan is the only person in their camp who can read lips, and the instructor usually treats him like a treasure.
If the Capital Military Region hadn't come directly to request his return, he wouldn't have called Lin Yuan back from his family visit leave. Besides, he had personally approved his marriage application just a few days ago.
"Yes, instructor!" Lin Yuan respectfully saluted the instructor again.
He saluted the battalion commander and company commander, who nodded at him and said sternly, "Perform well and don't embarrass our battalion."
"Yes, please rest assured, Battalion Commander," Lin Yuan replied, standing at attention.
Although he often saw the battalion commander and company commander, the battalion-level political instructor, Instructor Huang, was the one he interacted with the most.
"Alright, go ahead!" Instructor Huang patted his shoulder with a kind expression, then looked at Commander Fu and gave him a respectful military salute.
Commander Fu returned their salute and looked at Lin Yuan, "Is there anything else you need to arrange? The duration of this mission is uncertain, and it also carries a certain degree of danger."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, opened her bag, took out a stack of letter paper and a ballpoint pen, and bent down to write a few words on the table next to her.
"My dear Huanhuan, if you haven't received any news from me, that's good news. Don't worry. No matter how long it takes, I will definitely come back to find you. Wait for me. Your husband, Lin Yuan!"
After finishing writing, he found an envelope, put it in, wrote "For Zhao Huanhuan" on it, and solemnly handed it to Instructor Huang, saying, "If my wife comes to the army, give this letter to her."
Instructor Huang took it, then paused, surprised. "Didn't you just submit your application? Are you married?"
Lin Yuan nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's settled. It was settled yesterday, and I received your telegram this afternoon!"
Instructor Huang gripped the envelope tightly, paused for a moment, and then nodded emphatically, "Okay, don't worry, I'll make sure to pass it on to you."
Instructor Huang sighed inwardly. He had just gotten married yesterday and received a telegram, so he hadn't even been able to accompany his wife on her homecoming visit today.
