After listening to the laughter of several people, Lu Xiaotang said, "That's it."
When Platoon Leader Zhang and his men heard this voice, they trembled all over, stood at attention and saluted, shouting, "Company Commander,"
Lu Xiaotang looked at the others and said slowly, "Now that we've finished talking, let's go eat."
Seeing that they were relieved, he continued, "Training at 8 pm, 60 catties weight, 10 kilometers."
After hearing this, several people were dejected. When they saw Lu Xiaotang's glance, they immediately shouted in unison, "Yes, Captain."
Lu Xiaotang threw the bag of pine nuts and hazelnuts in his hand to Platoon Leader Zhang and said, "Give it to the brothers to taste."
Platoon Leader Zhang happily took the bag and said, "Thank you, Company Commander."
After saying that, several people ran towards the cafeteria, grabbing the bag.
After eating in the cafeteria, Lu Xiaotang took the bag of dried vegetables to his uncle's house. His uncle was the brigade commander of the Nanshi Military Region and lived in the family compound.
My uncle used to work in the Nanshi Military Region. He was transferred to Sushi last year and became a battalion commander.
When Lu Xiaotang arrived, his uncle's family had just finished their meal and were sitting on the sofa talking. When they saw him come in,
My eldest cousin Chen Yue hurriedly asked him to sit down. My aunt asked him if he had eaten. My cousin Lin Wenhui went to pour him some water.
Lu Xiaotang put the things he brought on the table, sat down and said, "Aunt, I've had my meal. These are the dried vegetables my mother sent over.
There are also some pine nuts and hazelnuts sent by Xu Ning's brother and sister. I'll bring some over for you to try."
My aunt looked at the things on the table and said with red eyes, "Your parents are so thoughtful. They are already in such a difficult situation, why do they send us such things?"
Lu Xiaotang comforted her, "Aunt, my parents are fine now. Uncle Xu's daughter is taking care of them. It's okay."
My aunt sighed and said, "Last time I heard you say that the girl is only fifteen years old this year. A little girl brought her brother to the countryside, and now she has to take care of four elders. It's really hard for her."
Lu Xiaotang thought of the dark and thin little girl, whose bright eyes were full of intelligence, who was passionate about everything she did, kind-hearted but not weak, and smart and insightful.
The eldest uncle also agreed, "She is a good child. With her taking care of her, we can rest assured. At least we can know if anything happens earlier."
Lu Xiaotang chatted with his uncle and aunt for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
The cousin sent him out, sat on the sofa and said, "Xiaotang is becoming more and more stable. There are not many 20-year-old company commanders in other military regions."
Lin Wenhui continued, "A few days ago, Commander Yan's wife asked me if Xiaotang had a girlfriend, saying that she wanted to reconcile with her little girl Yingying."
My aunt frowned and said, "How can her daughter be worthy of Xiaotang? She has nothing good except her pretty face. Next time she asks you, just answer her."
The uncle looked at his wife and said with a smile, "In your mother's eyes, I'm afraid few people are worthy of Xiaotang.
When I was choosing a partner for your aunt, I chose your uncle after careful consideration."
Lin Wenhui returned to her room and complained to Shen Yue, "Mom, you're so mean. I mean well,
Thinking that Xiaotang and Yan Yingying are together, it will be good for Xiaotang in the future. After all, his aunt and uncle have had some influence on him. "
Chen Yue looked at her and said, "Don't ask about Xiaotang's affairs in the future. Even my parents can't interfere.
He won't let anyone interfere in his affairs. How do you think he could become a company commander just three years after joining the army? My uncle is very capable! It took him eight years to become a company commander."
Seeing that his wife still looked unimpressed, Shen Yue whispered,
"Do you know what Xiaotang did when he found out that something happened to my aunt and uncle?"
Lin Wenhui asked, "Wasn't he still a child at that time? What could he do?"
Chen Yue said mysteriously again, "When my aunt and uncle-in-law got into trouble, the school was on summer vacation and Xiaotang was at our house. When Xiaoran called home, we knew that my aunt and uncle-in-law had gotten into trouble.
At that time, my father was out on a mission and couldn't be contacted. My mother was very anxious, so she asked my uncle to go to Beijing to inquire first, and asked everyone to keep it a secret from Xiaotang.
Three days later, two of Xiaotang's friends came to him from Beijing and told him that his parents had an accident. Xiaotang did not even take his luggage, but followed his two friends on the train back to Beijing.
After arriving in Beijing, he first found his uncle and learned that his parents' affairs had been settled and there was no turning back. So he used his uncle's connections to arrange for his sister to go to the countryside. After sending his sister away,
My uncle was afraid that he would get into trouble and get himself into trouble, so he said he would bring him here to join the army. He said nothing at the time and followed my uncle onto the train.
Before the train started, he got off the train without telling his uncle, and left a letter for his uncle, saying that he would come to Nanshi to look for him in three months. His uncle was worried and got off at the next station, and then returned to Jingshi to look for him for a few days, but couldn't find him. His leave in the army was about to expire, so he had no choice but to come back first, and asked his comrades in Jingshi to help find him.
Lin Wenhui was surprised and asked, "Why haven't you mentioned this before? When did he come here? What was he doing at that time?"
Chen Yue glanced at his wife and said, "Why would I mention this to you for no reason? If you hadn't been confused today, I wouldn't have told you this."
Lin Wenhui twisted his waist and said, "Who is confused? I don't know, tell me now!"
After being pinched by his wife, Shen Yue continued,
"After my uncle came back, he asked his comrades to help look for Xiaotang everywhere in Beijing, but they couldn't find him. After my father came back, he went to Beijing to look for him for a few days, but he still couldn't find him.
More than a month later, when my dad and uncle were planning to go to Beijing to find him again, he came by himself. My dad and uncle asked him where he had been for the past three months? He said nothing.
Finally, my uncle heard from his comrades in Beijing that the families who framed my aunt and uncle were all sent down to the bitter cold land of the northwest.
Among them was his uncle's family. His grandparents loved his aunt the most and had always cherished her in their arms since she was a child. At that time, they threatened Xiaotang that if he did not let his aunt's family go, they would cut off ties with him. Xiaotang immediately wrote a letter of severance and asked his grandparents to sign it. ”
Seeing his wife dumbfounded, Chen Yue patted her shoulder and said, "Think about how old he was at that time, less than 17 years old, and he did such a big thing and was able to get away with it unscathed. What do you think he would need others to make decisions for him?
Look at the soldiers under his command. No matter how tough they are, they will be obedient in his hands. ”
Shen Yue saw that his wife was still in a daze and wondered if he had said something too harsh.
He put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her, but his wife pushed him away. She looked at him with a look of disappointment and said,
"Look at how they are laughing, and then look at you. You are already 25 or 26 years old and still behave so unruly all the time. You should be more careful!"
Shen Yue… No, isn’t this talking about the Laughing Hall? Why are we talking about him again?
