"Captain Gu, this is the big pancake my mother just sent over. Please have some."
The strong woman Song Taohong looked at a group of soldiers gnawing on hard steamed bread, and then she took the hot pancake and said shyly
"Thank you, but that's okay." Gu Mingze took a step back and continued to eat his steamed bread.
"Just eat one. It's mixed with white flour." Song Taohong took another step forward and said
"I'm full." Gu Mingze swallowed the last bite of the steamed bread, squatted down, picked up a bag of soil and went straight to the dam.
"Comrade, our battalion commander has a wife, you can't make a mistake." Zhang Maolin saw the regiment commander walking away and stepped forward to stop the people who wanted to follow him.
"I just wanted to give Captain Gu a few cakes, how can that be considered a mistake?" Song Taohong was unhappy when she heard this, and immediately shouted with a sullen face.
"I won't quarrel with you, a female comrade, but I will keep an eye on you and won't let you get close to my battalion commander." Zhang Maolin said, biting a mouthful of the steamed bread viciously.
"Okay, okay." Song Taohong shook her hands vigorously, turned around, put the cake in her pocket, squatted down, picked up a sack of soil, and went straight to the dam where Gu Mingze was.
"Hey, how can this guy be so shameless." Zhang Maolin watched the man running towards his battalion commander, and quickly finished the last bite of his steamed bread, picked up a sack of soil and followed him.
"Let's go up too. It's raining and the road is slippery. Don't let anyone get hurt." When the people nearby saw this, they quickly finished their steamed bread, drank a sip of cold water, and carried a bag of soil to the dam.
"You can't come here, get down quickly." Gu Mingze was standing on a sandbag observing the situation. Just as he was about to get down, he saw the woman coming over and shouted hurriedly.
"I won't. Why can you men do it but I can't? I am a famous iron lady in our team." Song Taohong took off the earth bag on her shoulders and patted her chest.
"Zhang Maolin, Zhang Maolin." Gu Mingze didn't want to talk to this woman, so he could only shout at the blurry figure behind him.
"Battalion Commander, I'm here." Zhang Maolin replied while carrying soil and waving his hands.
"Come and send this comrade back to me. Don't let him appear on the dam again." Gu Mingze gave the order with a serious face.
"Yes, I will complete the task." Zhang Maolin raised his hand to salute, walked forward to pile up the soil, looked at Song Taohong and said coldly: "Comrade, please leave the dam."
"I don't want it. I want to stay on the dam." Song Taohong looked at Gu Mingze stubbornly.
Gu Mingze turned his back, pretending not to hear, and stared straight ahead.
"Captain Gu, I won't leave. I want to fight alongside you." Song Taohong took advantage of the moment when Zhang Maolin raised his hand to wipe his eyes, strode forward, and climbed up the sandbag using both hands and feet.
"Zhang Maolin." Gu Mingze stared at the person next to him and called out
"Comrade, please come down quickly. It's dangerous." Zhang Maolin turned around and turned pale with fear. He reached out to grab someone.
"Don't touch me." Song Taohong reached out and slapped away the hand that was trying to grab her. She looked at Gu Mingze and said, "Captain Gu, now we are comrades in the same trench. Am I worthy of you now?"
"Sorry, I'm already married." Gu Mingze said that he was already married, but then he suddenly remembered that he and his wife had not yet obtained a marriage certificate. He decided to get it as soon as he got back.
"You can get divorced and remarry, Captain Gu, just marry him." Song Taohong said as she reached out to grab Gu Mingze's clothes
Gu Mingze dodged the outstretched hand, but slipped and fell off the sandbag into the river.
