Chapter 271 My love, my dearest love.

Hou Jianwen and Sister Lin first took the children to Linjiatun, and the next day they took Zhan Jiali and several children back to Qizhou.

Fang Dihua packed a lot of things for them, a big bag of millet, red beans, mung beans, peas, bacon, rabbit meat, etc., and a small bucket of wild ginseng medicinal wine.

Zhan Jiali also had a portion, the little girl refused but was forced to take it by Fang Dihua, so she had to agree with a bitter face.

Before leaving, she hugged Lin Shu and whispered: "Sister Lin, I wish you a happy new year, and may all your wishes come true. I will go to Fayun Temple to burn incense for you on the first day of the first lunar month."

Lin Shu's heart was warm, "Thank you. Help me burn a few more incense sticks."

Zhan Jiali made an OK gesture and followed her onto the tractor.

Today is the last time that Brother Lu and his family will go to Qizhou to deliver goods before the New Year. The next time will be after the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Hou Wei and Pan Pan said goodbye sweetly, reluctantly, as if they were conjoined twins.

After the eldest sister and her family left, Lin Xia and Jiang Weidong also drove to Lujiazhuang to give New Year gifts. They were very affectionate, and the couple went back to Linjiatun, and then took Old Lady Jiang and Mianmian back to the city to celebrate the New Year.

Jiang Weidong's position in the factory is becoming increasingly important, and he can't leave the factory during the New Year, so he can't spend the New Year with his wife in Linjiatun.

Lin Xia was reluctant to leave him alone, and naturally it was more fun to celebrate the New Year with the family.

Although the Lu family lost Lu Shaotang, everyone got used to it and was not affected. On the contrary, it was more lively this year because of the development of the brigade's sideline business.

Not only did the members of the Lujiazhuang brigade come to give New Year gifts and New Year greetings to the Lu family, but members from all over the village came with baskets to give gifts.

Relying on the sideline business of the Lujiazhuang brigade, they all raised rabbits, planted hemp, and dug herbs to sell to the medical clinic. With a little accumulation, each family can make some money. Those who were originally poor and had no money to marry a wife can now save enough money to marry a wife, and those who originally had no money to study can now continue their studies.

Those who have been suffering from illness for many years now have their pain relieved by the diagnosis and prescription of Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu also tries his best to prescribe cheap medicine and herbal medicine to them to reduce their burden.

Each brigade has installed water wheel pumps, which saves labor for irrigation and grinding.

...

Everyone has seen the changes one by one. Even the electric lights and brigade loudspeakers that are now indispensable in every household are related to the relatives of the Lu family. Mr. Lin helped them train responsible electricians and took people to pull wires into households to save them as much money as possible.

Those who were grateful went to the Lu family to express their gratitude. Knowing that they didn’t want expensive things, they either gave a dozen eggs, or gave straw weavings they made themselves, and some gave linen bags they made themselves.

Especially the Lujiazhuang Brigade, this year because of the contribution of the brigade-run factory, their brigade work points jumped to more than 1.2 yuan!

The lowest of the following production teams was 92 cents, and the highest was 1.2 yuan.

Compared with the 40 cents for full work points in other brigades, their brigade was three times more!!!

The average salary of workers in the city was 30 yuan a month, and this was the salary of workers!

Of course, people like Lin Shu, Big Brother Lu, Second Brother Lu, Second Sister-in-law Lu, Xiuxiu Lu, and Zhou Xiulan will also receive extra dividends. After all, they are the backbone of the team, not the ones waiting for the benefits .

Second Sister-in-law Lu is particularly proud this year. She is now the mill supervisor. Originally, Lin Shu promised her a subsidy of five yuan per month, but now she gets ten yuan.

She now makes more money than Big Sister-in-law Lu, who drives a tractor, so she is very proud.

However, she still hasn't gotten pregnant with a second child, so she keeps a close eye on the money, fearing that

Second Brother Lu will secretly give money to his daughter. Lu Cuicui also has money now. She and Daya and Erya can share the money from making hair flowers for Xiuxiu, but this money is not shared with the team. Whatever she earns is hers.

She also hid the money tightly, and would never let Lu Ersao take a penny.

Now the mother and daughter do not compete with outsiders, but they compete with each other. Lu Erge has to make sandwiches. Fang Dihua can't bear to see that, so she scolds the mother and daughter and they will be quiet for a few days.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family gathered together, and adults and children raised their glasses together.

Panpan and the others have seen a lot outside, and they know that adults are accustomed to let the elders or leaders speak a few words at dinner, so they urged Grandpa Shao and Grandpa, as well as great-grandmothers and grandmothers to speak.

If the unit leader speaks, everyone may not like to listen, but the children at home like to tease Grandpa.

They knew that Grandpa didn't like to talk in public. He could talk freely at the Barefoot Doctors Exchange Meeting, but couldn't utter more than three sentences at the Advanced Model Workers Conference.

As expected, Father Lu was urged by the children to speak, and he hurriedly said to Doctor Shao, "Brother, can you say a few words to the children?"

Doctor Shao really liked this family and felt that it was true.

They didn't deliberately treat him as a guest, but treated him casually and cordially like a family member, without any courtesy or formality.

Some people may think that they are after his money, but in fact, they kept a record of the money he gave to Lin Shu, and spent every penny on him. They didn't take advantage of him at all, but he always took advantage of them.

Perhaps it was because of his meritorious service in curing illnesses and saving lives that he could receive such high-quality care in his old age. He

was not a relative, but he was better than a relative, and even more selfless than a relative.

He smiled and spoke without fear, holding up the amber medicinal wine and raising it. The room immediately became quiet.

Doctor Shao raised the wine glass and silently said in his heart: This first glass of wine, the first wish, is for Lu Shaotang and his family to return safely as soon as possible.

After reciting it silently in his heart, he smiled and said, "I am fortunate to celebrate the New Year with you all here. I have to thank the Party and the country. I wish our great leader a long life and wish our country prosperity and strength."

Lu Changfu always went to the commune to attend meetings now. He would read the mood and immediately followed the wishes.

His cousins ​​also gave him face and followed him to wish.

Doctor Shao continued, "You are all good children. You will definitely have a brighter future in the future. Bless you!"

Everyone wished each other well and thanked each other, and let Father Lu speak.

Father Lu also raised his glass: "Each of you is the pride of me, your mother and grandmother. No matter what ambition you have or what path you take in the future, as long as you are upright, love your country and family and don't take crooked paths, you are the pride of our Lu family."

Grandma Fang listened to them and sipped her wine happily. Old man, you are really unlucky. You have worked hard all your life but have never enjoyed a day of happiness. If you saw this day, you would definitely be happier. Old man, you are a capable person. You should contact the in-laws down there and bless Shaotang to come back safely. Don't dare to scare us again.

The children urged Grandma Fang and Fang Dihua to talk.

Grandma Fang drank without wearing glasses or hearing aids, just enjoying herself, "Well, this wine is delicious and strong!"

Fang Dihua said, "This year, the children will give each of them five yuan as New Year's money!"

There are six children in the family, five yuan per person means thirty yuan!

The children cheered immediately.

Oh my God!

Zhao Meifeng's eyes were red, second aunt is rich.

Fang Dihua glanced at her and said to the children, "This is the dividend from your grandfather's medical fee, basically all of it is distributed to you." Of course not.

Zhao Meifeng: Oh, yes, second uncle and the doctor also get dividends, but it's more than this. Oh, why do I feel that it doesn't matter if I don't go to the capital now?

She can earn full work points by raising pigs with the brigade, and can get a subsidy of five or six yuan every month, and a dividend of ten yuan at the end of the year. She

can also buy meat on weekdays.

Changfu also earns full work points as a veterinarian. He has no salary but dividends from medical consultations. When

he goes out to see patients, if the brigade does not share any gifts, but gives 40% to 60% in money, he gets 60% and the brigade gets 40%.

It is not a small amount when calculated this way. The key is that work points in the brigade are worth money now!

One and a half yuan a day.

If she calculates this way, she and Changfu will earn more money than going to the capital.

She suddenly felt proud, but at the same time she knew that she had to please her second uncle and second aunt and be obedient, otherwise it would not be her turn to raise pigs.

She couldn't help but approach Lin Shu and flatter her, "Sister-in-law, isn't Jin Ling working in a textile factory? She sent me a piece of fashionable fabric. I think the color is a bit garish, I can't wear it out, but you can wear it."

Thinking of how she schemed against Lin Shu for a few feet of fabric a few years ago, she found it so funny. It was just a few feet of fabric, what was that?

Now she took the initiative to give it to her.

Lin Shu smiled, "Sister-in-law, if you don't wear it now, when will you wear it?"

Seeing her friendly attitude, Zhao Meifeng whispered, "Sister-in-law, I was confused before, did bad things and said some unpleasant things. It's rare that you are generous and don't care. Thank you." She took the initiative to toast Lin Shu.

Lin Shu naturally wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that Zhao Meifeng was influenced by her. At most, she had learned to judge the situation and knew to please her.

Of course, she wouldn't care about the past. Zhao Meifeng didn't make trouble and worked honestly, which would be good for the team and the family. Didn't you see that her father-in-law is now relaxed and has no worries?

In the past, even if his own children were promising, his eldest nephew's family was not decent. He said he didn't want to care about it, but he still had a thorn in his heart. He hoped that his eldest nephew's family would be good, so that his eldest brother could spend his old age in peace.

If he could make his eldest nephew's family change by caring for them, he would naturally be happy.

In order to save her parents-in-law from worry, Lin Shu also hoped that Zhao Meifeng's family would be good.

As long as relatives can get along with each other on the surface and everyone interacts with each other normally, that's fine.

For Zhao Meifeng, Lu Hehuan, Sister Lu and many other similar relatives, Lin Shu classified them as just passable and would help if necessary, but she would not be sincere.

If something happens to the eldest and second sister, she will definitely get angry and want to help solve it immediately. But if something happens to these decent relatives, then she will do what she can, just help with some money or something, and she will not get angry.

Love is not determined by blood relationship, but by whether you exchange hearts for hearts, and whether you cultivate feelings in boring daily life.

In the boring and repetitive daily life of most relatives and friends, more and more conflicts accumulate, and their relationships become less and less frayed. Eventually, they drift away, or even break up.

Not to mention the support and care that the second sister had always given her, during the time that she and the eldest sister had been together, the eldest sister had always been gentle and considerate, always thinking of the sisters, regardless of how much work she had to do or how unjustified she was in receiving help, and always trying her best to give back.

With everyone being so thoughtful, this year was naturally spent in harmony and excitement.

After the Chinese New Year, it was time to visit relatives and friends, pay New Year's greetings, and visit relatives.

This year, in order to accommodate Lin Shu's schedule, the eldest sister Lu waited until she returned from her parents' home on the fourth day of the New Year before returning to her parents' home, just to get together with her.

The eldest sister Lu also got what she wanted, and Ding Guohua is now an official of the County Revolutionary Committee.

Ding Guohua is actually a bit smart and capable. After being ignored by his uncle and aunt, he knew to calm down and do things. In addition, the county revolutionary committee finally gave face to Lu Shaotang, so he became the lowest-level cadre.

This year, Sister Lu gave Panpan and Tiantian the same amount of New Year's money as Lu Ping, one yuan for each.

Since they gave it all, Lu Cuicui doesn't matter.

This is the tradition of the Ding family. They are very generous to useful relatives and will never be stingy with the icing on the cake.

It is rare to give five or six children a New Year's money each these days, and there is no other family in the Lu family village.

Sister Lu did not mention what to let her son learn from her uncle, let alone let her uncle arrange for her to join the army in the future. She also realized that Lin Shu had the final say in her mother's family.

No matter whether Lin Shu was at home or not, Lin Shu had the final say.

A few years ago, her father-in-law heard the news that the commune was going to set up a furniture factory, and also heard that it was Lin Shu who was in charge, so he wanted her to come back and discuss with her parents to see if Ding Runsheng's uncle Fan Carpenter could be the deputy director or director.

Sister Lu went back to her mother's house to find out, but was scolded by Fang Dihua, who told her not to think about those nonsense.

Who will be the leader of the furniture factory is decided by the Lu family?

Besides, why did Lin Shu always look for Carpenter Tan to cooperate? It must be because Carpenter Tan has better craftsmanship.

Carpenter Fan also came to do work, but his craftsmanship was not as good as Carpenter Tan's.

After opening a furniture factory, Carpenter Fan could only be a team leader to guide apprentices.

Granny Fang told Lin Shu about this matter when she was chatting, and now Lin Shu knew what Sister Lu meant.

Lin Shu grabbed a handful of five-spice gourd seeds, which were given to her by a member of the cooperative who grew gourds at home. Boil them, dry them, and then fry them. They have a unique taste.

"Sister, you have to keep an eye on the three children now. Don't think that everything will be fine if Guohua goes to the county. He is already grown up, so won't you have to worry about him finding a partner? His Chinese and martial arts are not young anymore, so how are his studies? If there is a job opportunity, can he pass the exam and get in? The city is different now than it was a few years ago. Even if you have connections, you still have to pass the exam to get in. If you fail to pass the exam and rely solely on connections to get in, you will easily be reported and suffer the consequences together." You

haven't even figured out your own life, so why bother with your mother-in-law and brothers?

Sister Lu felt a little embarrassed by what she said, which was indeed a bit impolite.

But she was not angry.

If it was a few years ago, she would definitely have turned her face and scolded her, but the original owner did not dare to say anything to her elder sister-in-law before.

Now that Lin Shu is capable and lives in the family compound of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee, Sister Lu subconsciously feels inferior to her and can't help but flatter her.

This is a reversal of relationships brought about by status, and it is human nature.

Hearing what Lin Shu said, Sister Lu's heart moved, "Sister-in-law, are there any opportunities for Guowen and Guowu to recruit workers?"

She meant to ask Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang if they would help their nephew.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Of course there are opportunities. How can there not be opportunities? When they grow up to be 18 or 19 years old, there will be plenty of opportunities."

After the reform and opening up, opportunities are everywhere. There will be more and more factories in the commune and the county town, and more and more stalls will be set up in the city.

As long as you are not lazy, there are opportunities everywhere.

Sister Lu felt relieved and happy. Of course, her son is more important.

She talked about Ding Guohua's marriage again, and what kind of person he wanted to find. She said that her requirements were not high, as long as the daughter had a clean background, good looks, good personality, filial piety, and a job...

She thought that the girl Zhan Jiali who came to the Lu family was very good and seemed to be a good match for Guohua, but she didn't dare to say it directly.

She asked Lu's wife again, "Why don't you find a date for Xiuxiu?"

She wanted to marry someone to a relative before, but her parents disagreed. She wanted to introduce a date to Xiuxiu, but her parents told her not to interfere.

The old couple had already discovered that the eldest daughter was greatly influenced by her father-in-law, and now everything can be considered to help her son's promotion. She

wanted to introduce a date to Xiuxiu, and also wanted to introduce the child of Ding Guohua, the leader of the county revolutionary committee.

It sounds good, but it's not the right way. Xiuxiu has to choose her own marriage first.

If the person introduced in the county before seemed very good, but now the eldest son goes to Qizhou and other provinces for business, he has a wide range of knowledge.

Lu Ping and Lu An also followed their uncle to Qizhou to study. In the future, they will either join the army or work in a factory.

Xiuxiu is now in charge of the clothing factory of the brigade. Lin Shu said that the clothing factory will become bigger and bigger. In the future, she will go to the city to open a company, and Xiuxiu will also go out.

She will meet many people when she goes out. Who knows, she may find a man she likes?

The old couple was also influenced by Lin Shu and felt that there was no need to rush. Now the government advocates late marriage and late childbirth, and good birth and upbringing. As long as the children don’t hate to get married, there is no rush.

After the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Lujiazhuang Brigade became busy again.

After visiting relatives and friends on the sixth day, the members couldn’t sit still and urged the brigade to start work quickly.

Lin Shu and the children spent the Lantern Festival and returned to Qizhou on the sixteenth day.

Time passed in the hustle and bustle, and in a blink of an eye, we entered the colorful late April from the pale and chilly spring.

At the distant Shenzhen Wharf, the sun was hot and the sea was dancing with large patches of gold.

A cargo ship from the Hong Kong River hurried to the shore.

A group of stevedores on the shore quickly rushed onto the ship and soon got off the ship quickly carrying large bags, wooden boxes, and stretchers.

When they landed on the shore, they quickly loaded all the goods onto the truck and left quickly.

In the dark here, there were a large number of scouts hiding, and their eyes were patrolling the sea, the wharf, and the road like hawks. Any suspicious person or anyone who made suspicious actions would be monitored and investigated.

For several days, ships kept approaching and leaving. During this period, large and small goods were lifted off the ships, loaded onto vehicles, and then left.

Even if someone secretly observed, they would not know which ship was carrying what goods at that moment, or whether there were people hiding.

At the same time, a government official on the other side of the ocean was furious at his subordinates, "Impossible! How could they disappear under strict surveillance?"

"Search for me! We must catch them back!"

"We must not let them go back! If they go back, we will suffer huge losses, and it will give the enemy wings to fly!"

They launched a carpet-style search, Chinatown, slums, sewers... nothing was spared.

The General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army of the Southeast Military Region.

Feng Lizhu and the others were in a very serious state of jet lag. They couldn't adjust to the time. After being on the sea for nearly a month, they were seriously dizzy.

Everything in front of them was shaky, and their vision was uncontrollably drawing parabolas.

It felt terrible.

However, they were excited!

Because they were back to their motherland!

They were safe!

She leaned sideways, stepped slowly and held onto the wall as she walked out of the ward, wanting to find a doctor or nurse to ask, "Excuse me, are our friends who escorted us back safe?"

A nurse in a yellowish white coat came quickly, held her tightly, and said with concern, "Ms. Feng, you are malnourished and your head was hit. You have a mild concussion and need rest."

Feng Lizhu was very anxious and grabbed the nurse's hand tightly, "Are they okay?"

The nurse nodded repeatedly, "Yes, they are all fine."

Feng Lizhu didn't believe it, "How is the leg of Xiao Zhan who injured his leg?"

Her eyes turned red as she spoke. In order to save her, Comrade Xiao Zhan used his body to block the falling stone beam and injured his right leg.

Although they performed emergency trauma treatment after boarding the ship, the accompanying military doctor did not have sufficient surgical environment and equipment, so he could only perform simple treatment. His wound became infected and necrotic during the long voyage.

Her senior estimated that amputation might be necessary.

She hoped that such a young and brave warrior would be healthy.

There were two other seriously injured people, and she needed to confirm whether they were safe.

The nurse forcibly helped her back and explained: "Don't worry, although his leg was injured, he is very strong and does not need amputation. The only trouble now is that the bone healing ability is too strong, and it is slightly misaligned and needs to be readjusted. As for the infected necrotic muscles, the doctors have already removed them and they will grow out."

Although the operation scene was very...bloody, the doctors said that his leg would be fine.

Feng Lizhu heaved a sigh of relief when the nurse said they would all be fine. "God bless!"

Chen Yanming was drowsy for several days, occasionally squinting his eyes, as if he saw the shadowless light above his head, and as if he saw Xiao Ran, who was wearing a mask, staring at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

He must have missed her too much, and he could dream of her almost as soon as he closed his eyes during the most difficult days.

There was a clear tearing feeling on his body, as if someone was cutting his body open, as if someone was sewing his body

together. But he couldn't move, and he didn't feel any pain, as if he was dreaming.

"Lao Lu." He wanted to speak, but naturally he couldn't make a sound.

When he woke up completely, the first thing he felt was pain, a pain that was like knocking out bones and squeezing marrow!

For a man like him, ordinary flesh wounds would not make him feel much pain, even if a piece of flesh fell off.

One year, he led a team to carry out a mission, but the enemy was cunning and cowardly, and they always kept homemade explosives at home.

He was blown over, but fortunately, Lao Lu rescued him in time and only his arm was broken. If Lao Lu hadn't pulled him in time, his leg would have been blown off.

Leg!

Yes, his leg was injured. After drifting on the sea for more than 20 days without effective treatment, the wound became infected and became very bad.

He vaguely suspected that he needed amputation.

No!

The leg can be injured, but it cannot be lost!

He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, so fast that the person who was taking care of him was startled.

Zhan Qiuran rushed over and pushed him back, "Chen Yanming, lie down!"

The confusion in Chen Yanming's mind quickly dissipated, and he became clear-headed in an instant, "Qiuran?!"

Zhan Qiuran's eyes were red and swollen, she leaned over and hugged his neck, "Yes, it's me, an excellent young surgeon, I'm here to be your nurse, you are so valued."

Chen Yanming's legs were fixed, and his arms were not very flexible, so he could only passively accept her intimacy.

Zhan Qiuran wiped her tears, knelt down beside the bed, and leaned against him, suppressing the deep worry in her heart, but asked casually: "Where is Director Lu? Didn't he come back with you on the same boat?"

Chen Yanming's eyes suddenly darkened, and his thoughts were flying. Although they rescued Ms. Feng and others, the enemy was very sensitive and soon found out that something was wrong and chased after them.

The situation was too critical. In order to protect the safety of Ms. Feng and the other six people, Lu Shaotang asked him to lead the team to bring them back to the country safely.

Lu Shaotang himself led people to divert the enemy's pursuit.

There were not only their team but six other teams, a total of fifty people, going to the rescue. As the most outstanding special agent, Lu Shaotang was naturally the commander of the battlefield operation.

This time, in addition to the five team members led by Lu Shaotang, there were two others who were clearly sacrificed, and he was one of the three who were seriously injured. Minor

injuries... basically everyone had injuries of varying degrees, and gunshot wounds to non-vital parts were considered minor injuries.

However, this was already much better than the result they expected. Originally, they thought that being able to bring Ms. Feng and others back safely would be the biggest victory. As for the rescue personnel, the conservative estimate was that two-thirds were lost, or even more.

This was all due to Lao Lu's good leadership and careful formulation of the battle plan.

Lao Lu and the others... should be able to escape, they can definitely hide.

After all, Lao Lu is very good at hiding. Since the training in the military academy, as long as Lao Lu hides, even his roommate who lives with him day and night can't find him.

What's more, they have surveyed the area near the destination many times. Lao Lu's observation and memory are amazing. He can imprint the map in his mind after just one look. I'm afraid he won't let go of even a rat hole there.

Chen Yanming didn't want to answer the question about Lu Shaotang directly because it involved confidentiality. He also didn't want to lie that he was on another ship because he might not be able to come back in a short time, which would only make Lin Shu and her family hopeful and then disappointed.

At this time, no news is good news.

The organization must mean the same thing.

He simply didn't say anything.

Zhan Qiuran didn't ask.

She knew that this was a mission secret and couldn't be revealed casually.

In fact, she didn't come here because the hospital was looking for the patients' families, but because her teacher was a top surgeon in the capital, and was sent here by his superiors to perform surgery on soldiers. The teacher wanted to give her more opportunities to learn, so she brought her along.

After she arrived, she didn't expect to see Chen Yanming!

The moment she saw him, her legs went weak. Later, she searched several wards but didn't see Lu Shaotang, and her heart was always in her throat.

But no matter how she asked, no one told her about Lu Shaotang, whether he was alive or dead, where he was, and when he would come back. There was no response at all.

She understood Chen Yanming, and knew that she couldn't tell Lin Shu, so she thought that Lu Shaotang was still somewhere and hadn't come back.

Chen Yanming recovered very quickly after waking up. Although it was very painful, he made progress every day. The orthopedic doctor checked and touched his bones several times a day, fearing that his leg would grow crooked again.

This was already a fracture, and if it grew crooked again, he would have no legs and would be lame.

This process was very painful, but fortunately, a tough guy like Chen Yanming could always endure pain that ordinary people could not.

So his leg would be saved.

Zhan Qiuran encouraged herself in this way, even if he really became lame, she would not abandon him.

For Chen Yanming, lying in bed while awake was more uncomfortable than a broken leg, mainly because it was unbearable. He did not want Zhan Qiuran to take care of him personally, so he only asked her to help with examinations, feeding, washing his face and brushing his teeth. As for wiping his body and going to the bathroom, he asked the male orderly to help.

After half a month, he removed the plaster from the minor injury on his arm and began to move around with crutches.

Zhan Qiuran stayed with him every step of the way and accompanied him to visit other injured people.

The other two seriously injured soldiers were also out of danger, but one of them was in a coma for a long time, had slight brain damage, and had a certain degree of amnesia. The other was hit by several bullets and his arm was broken. At that time, there was no way to further treat him on the ship and he had a severe infection and had to amputate.

After resting for two days, the other lightly injured team members went north to the capital to report. After

resting in the hospital for a few days, Ms. Feng and her team adapted to the time difference and land, so they said goodbye to them and rushed to the Southwest Experimental Base as soon as possible.

They were going to set up their own laboratory there.

Chen Yanming was relieved to know that they were all safe.

The only thing he was worried about was Lu Shaotang and the others.

Old Lu, you once again led the team to successfully complete a difficult mission. Last time you were left alone in the jungle and didn't die, you will definitely come back this time.

We all believe in you!

After a few days, the orthopedic doctor confirmed that as long as Chen Yanming's bones were carefully protected, they would not be easily dislocated again. He then followed Doctor Gu and Zhan Qiuran to the capital to report.

This time he had a very long report to do, probably hundreds of pages.

Chen Yanming felt a headache at the thought of writing a report.

Unfortunately, Xiaozhuang did not go, so there was no one to write the report for him.

He tried to apply to the organization whether he could contact Lu Shaotang's family, but was rejected. The chief said that he had to listen to the report first before deciding how to communicate with the family.

Capital Military Region Confidential Office.

The old chief with gray hair sat straight in a chair, with six suicide notes on the table in front of him.

The top one was from Lu Shaotang.

The old leader was in a heavy mood, his rough, dark fingers were covered with silk cords, and he made a rustling sound as he scraped the letter paper.

If possible, he wanted to return these suicide notes to the soldiers in person.

He opened the one from Lu Shaotang and checked whether the suicide note violated the rules and leaked secrets, which was also something that his superiors needed to check.

Lu Shaotang understood the rules, so there was naturally no illegal information in his suicide note.

The handwriting on it looked quite old, and the main content was to ask his parents and family not to be sad, saying that he "sacrificed his life for the country, died a worthy death, had no regrets in this life, and will be a Chinese in the next life", and asked his brothers and sisters to take care of his elderly parents. Then there were arrangements for the widow. If she wanted to remarry, her wishes would be respected, and half of the pension could be given to her.

Some more content is added below. The handwriting is not as crisp and sharp as the above. The strokes are connected, revealing a lingering meaning.

Lin Shu, my wife, I am not afraid of sacrifice, but I regret that I can't grow old with you.

The rest of your life is long, I hope you will not drown in sorrow, continue to move forward, and not be afraid of the future.

My love, my dearest, see you in the next life.
