Zuo Ling laughed three times:
"Um... we got separated from you. We went back to look for you, but we couldn't find you."
He Guiqi looked at her and smiled, but didn't say anything.
He is no longer the He Guiqi of yesteryear; the higher his position, the more he knows.
The military has been searching for Zuo Ling for years, which shows how much importance the higher-ups attach to her.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao Hongyi waited at the dock early.
People who didn't know the reason were puzzled: what kind of important person was he that a major general had to come and pick him up in person?
The pier is very large, and it takes many checkpoints to enter from the outside. Zuo Ling's family was granted special permission to enter the port, and all procedures were simplified.
The plane and speedboat did not leave until they escorted Zuo Ling's family to the inner harbor pier.
The dock was filled with warships and boats of all kinds, bustling back and forth, so busy that Xiao Hao couldn't take it all in.
Dog and Waterfall remained relatively calm, but Ah Si, unaccustomed to large crowds, nervously approached Zuo Ling, whimpering.
Zuo Ling quickly soothed A Si, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Ah Si licked Zuo Ling affectionately, feeling slightly relieved.
A family of six, including a wolf, a dog, and a fat rabbit, made a grand and eye-catching procession.
Xueye had a good memory; he spotted an old acquaintance at a glance and barked as he ran towards Major General Zhao.
The dog was big and came on strong, so frightening that the orderly threw off the safety of his pistol.
It rushed up to Zhao Hongyi, then slammed on the brakes in the snowy night, barking.
After stopping the orderly, Zhao Hongyi smiled and patted the dog's head, greeting it like an old friend:
Hello, it's nice to see you again.
After spending some time at the base, Xueye, being a cunning and observant dog, knew who held the highest rank and who to curry favor with. He licked Zhao Hongyi's hand affectionately.
After playing with the dog for a while, Zhao Hongyi straightened up, looked at Zuo Ling and her two siblings, and said calmly:
"You're back? Good thing you're back, good thing you're back."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked back.
The crowd was stunned. The leader had waited for so long, but he wasn't very enthusiastic about the visitors. He left after saying only a few words.
Zuo Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't feel she owed the base anything, she still felt somewhat uneasy.
She was genuinely afraid that Zhao Hongyi would ask her why she had left without saying goodbye, and that the excuses she had given He Guiqi wouldn't work on the old man.
Zhao Hongyi acted as if he had only come to take a look, without exchanging pleasantries or asking where they had gone. He left all the subsequent matters to his adjutant.
Zuo Ling was helpless; the leader was very resentful.
The adjutant led the family to the plantation and, just like before, settled Zuo Ling's family in a container house next to the plantation.
"The order came down urgently, and the soldiers worked through the night to finish it. If you see anything that's not right, I'll have them fix it."
The adjutant spoke very politely.
The container house is very similar to the one they lived in back then, except for the lack of some appliances, everything else is exactly the same.
You can tell it's a modified version of the old container houses; a lot of thought went into it.
Not only are the container houses there, but the yard is also fenced off, and the size is exactly the same as it was back then.
"Everything is fine, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Everyone is very happy that you can come back. The commander instructed that everything must be done well."
The adjutant exchanged a few polite words before leaving.
"Zuo Ling, Zuo Ling..."
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Hao jumped up and ran outside, calling out, "Grandpa Jin, Grandpa Jin!"
Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng walked out of the house.
Professor Jin has become even thinner, with a head of silver hair that is dazzlingly white.
