Chapter 24 Left and Right Neighbors Control Group 24
A week later, Zhang Xiaojia brought Zhou Rongxian and Qian Mei back home. When she got home, she found that Qingmei and Baozhu were capable. They had already helped her make a kang bed and a fire wall in another room.
Zhou Rongxuan was lying on the bed, with a few little kids looking at him. His son also called him uncle, and he was speechless... Zhang Xiaojia was afraid that he would get hurt by the kids when he returned, so she put a plaster on his leg. He watched the kids playing with his legs.
Zhang Xiaojia sat on the recliner, looked at Zhang Qingmei and said, "Sorry, I asked you to take a leave."
Zhang Qingmei waved her hands and said, "Don't say it. Didn't I tell you before? I wanted to go back to my hometown before September. After He Fei returns from his mission, Lao Song and I will take the kids back with us? He Fei is coming back, and I've already taken my leave. But who would have thought that the one from my family and yours would actually go on a mission together. The most infuriating thing is that he actually blamed me for taking leave in advance. This bastard broke his promise and had so many excuses. You're right!!! Don't argue with him for no reason. If you can get physical, just hit him directly."
Zhang Xiaojia didn't express any opinion. She originally wanted to go back to her hometown to see her grandfather, but there was a patient there and she couldn't leave for at least three months. Fortunately, she didn't write to the old man to tell him, otherwise the old man would be sad when he knew she couldn't go back. This stubborn old man.
Before dinner, Zhang Hao and Zhou Shufen came to Zhang Xiaojia's house.
Zhou Shufen looked at the house she lived in and couldn't find any fault with it, especially when she heard her daughter-in-law say that if it weren't for Zhang Xiaojia, her son's legs would have been sawed off. Her son was such a proud man, and his dream since childhood was to join the army. He would definitely not be able to bear being asked to leave the army. For this reason alone, she was very grateful to Zhang Xiaojia.
Zhang Xiaojia stared at Zhang Hao closely and said with dissatisfaction: "How could you do this? This is clearly Zhou Rongxian's contribution, but you are suppressing him here!" Her tone was full of blame and questioning.
Zhang Hao had a serious face, but said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Jia, you misunderstood me. I did not allow my son and He Fei to rise quickly, but I did give them military merit.
This contribution will always exist and no one can erase it. But think about it, Zhou Rongxuan is only 24 years old now. If he is promoted too quickly, it may not be a good thing for his future development.
Take He Fei as an example. He is only 26 years old this year, which is the peak period for a warrior. After the age of 30, all aspects of his physical fitness will decline.
If he were promoted to the rank of deputy division commander all at once, he would be unable to participate in many important missions due to his rank. Soldiers can only quickly accumulate merit by going on missions. After all, he's still young and has plenty of time to accumulate more experience and achievements, laying a solid foundation for his future. Therefore, we must consider the long term, not just the immediate benefits.
Zhang Xiaojia's suspicions stemmed from the old man's remark that a commander of a military unit in Yizhou disliked his son, born to his second wife, and had long been deliberately suppressing his son's deserved military achievements. His motive was to demonstrate his so-called justice, fairness, and selflessness to the public, and also to tame his son's arrogance.
The old man said that as a soldier, one must have pride and arrogance.
After hearing his explanation, it turned out that he was awarded military merit but not promotion. The reason for his explanation was quite valid, and his expression looked much better.
Zhang Xiaojia asked curiously, "Your little girl is dating that pretty boy, and he's so calculating, aren't you doing anything about it?"
Zhang Hao smiled. "We broke up. She said she wanted to find a boyfriend who's better than yours. Jiajia, I've been carrying out those confidential and dangerous missions over the years, often away for months or even longer. I was almost never by Xiaoying's side throughout her childhood. Moreover, she grew up in that noisy and chaotic compound, so deep down she inevitably has some inferiority complex. When I completed my mission and returned, we moved into the military compound, and my position entered the senior ranks of the army. Faced with this sudden change and honor, Xiaoying may have lost herself for a while. In such a situation, who am I to blame her?"
Zhang Xiaojia narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who introduced this pretty boy to Zhou Rongying? Zhou Rongying couldn't have known him personally. She trains with the art troupe every day, so there's no way they'd have crossed paths. What does this person mean? What's his purpose? That pretty boy looked at Zhou Rongying with disdain, and he's still with her, clearly trying to gain your influence by bullying our little brat. Are you just going to let this go?"
Zhang Hao smiled but said nothing. Was he really that kind and easy to talk to? His family was his Achilles' heel; he would chop off anyone who dared to touch him.
Zhou Shufen came out. In fact, she was more than ten years younger than Zhang Hao. She was tall and well-proportioned. She was actually very beautiful and was only forty-five years old.
At first glance, this woman is a typical good wife and mother, a good woman who devotes herself wholeheartedly to her husband. In her eyes, there is only Zhang Hao. No one can compare to Zhang Hao. Whatever Zhang Hao says is an imperial decree.
Zhang Hao comforted him softly, "Don't worry! Your son has recovered quite well. Don't worry too much."
Zhou Shufen nodded obediently.
With anticipation on her face, she cautiously asked Zhang Hao, "Brother Hao, can you please transfer our son Rong Xuan to the Third Army? That way, I can take care of him more conveniently."
Zhang Hao frowned slightly upon hearing this, a trace of pain in his eyes. He slowly said, "Shufen, transferring my son here is not easy. Moreover, if he were to carry out those dangerous missions, I, as a father, would have to personally give the order. When I think of this, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife. I simply can't bear it! This feeling is like a heart-wrenching pain."
Zhou Shufen felt a pang of pain in her heart after hearing this, and quickly spoke to comfort him, "Okay, okay, I understand, Brother Hao, I will never embarrass you again. Let Rong Xuan continue to stay in the Fourth Army!"
After hearing what the two said, Zhang Xiaojia got goosebumps all over his body.
