"Professor Hong!"
Several young men looked at Professor Hong in disbelief, their eyes full of surprise.
They are all children from the compound. Even if they are not deliberately trained, they are not comparable to ordinary children because they have been influenced by their surroundings since childhood.
Actively retreating and obeying the professor's arrangements are two completely different concepts.
If the two professors report truthfully, their backing out at the critical moment will become a stain that will accompany them for the rest of their lives and will be a fatal blow to their political careers that have not yet begun.
This favor is a big one.
Although he didn't know why Lao Hong said that, Professor Zhong remained silent.
These children were originally forced upon him by his superiors, so it didn't make much difference whether they went to Ailao Mountain or not.
The moods of the young masters visibly improved.
"Professors, I'll go boil some water for you so you can all take a good shower and refresh yourself."
"Teachers, you have worked hard for more than ten days, sleeping in the open air. Let us wash your clothes. Teachers, please have dinner and rest as soon as possible."
"Teachers, I brought some Rainforest Longjing tea from home. It's a special gift from the old man. I'll make it for you."
…
The young masters were extremely attentive and were never so sensible even at home.
Fear is the nature of living things, and courage is the hymn of mankind.
After learning about the dangers of Ailao Mountain, they chose to retreat in fear, but at the same time they also developed heartfelt respect for the two professors and their assistants.
In the evening, Zhang Shuguang shot a few more wild goats. On the last night before the team returned, everyone held an unforgettable bonfire party at the foot of Ailao Mountain.
The next day, after sending the expert group back to Yuxi City, Zhang Xiangnan led the team back to the base.
The return of the First Steel Company caused a stir among the top brass of the entire Southern Xinjiang Military Region.
The 1st Steel Company is the ace company in the entire division, and every soldier is the best of the best.
Most people were against letting Zhang Xiangnan take them to Ailao Mountain.
One is a model soldier established by the Central Military Commission and a star regimental commander of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, and the other is an elite division of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region. They should not carry out such a dangerous mission.
If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unbearable for the Southern Xinjiang Military Region.
Cao Yongzhan also thought about replacing people, just sending some people to handle the task and let the expert group wander around the periphery.
For this purpose, he specifically talked to Zhang Xiangnan, but after Zhang Xiangnan knew the real purpose of this exploration, he weighed the pros and cons, rejected Cao Yongzhan's love, and decided to lead the Steel Company on the mission himself.
Zhang Xiangnan was so determined that the division leaders had no choice but to hope that they could return triumphantly.
All the leaders of the division were overjoyed when they learned that Zhang Xiangnan had returned to the base with the Steel Company and successfully completed the mission with zero casualties.
"Xiangnan, why did you buy so many cigarettes when you went to Yuxi City? You don't buy local specialties this way."
When Cao Yongzhan saw two soldiers carrying a whole box of Hongtashan liquor, he thought he had gone to Yuxi specifically to buy it.
"Commander Cao, I don't have such a large gift. These are the samples that the Yuxi Municipal Bureau sent their expert team to Ailao Mountain. Their city leaders specifically asked them to bring over.
Their intention was to let us taste the quality, and if we were used to it, they would see if they could deliver the product to us.”
Zhang Xiangnan explained the origin of this box of Hongtashan liquor.
“I’ve heard of this brand and smoked it when I went to Yuxi City for a meeting. The quality of the cigarettes is good.
However, Yunnan Province has a small population base and it is inconvenient to transport cigarettes out of the province. Firstly, the transportation is inconvenient, and secondly, there are cigarette factories in every place, and the local governments must support their own brands, so it was buried like this.
Although we and the local government are two different systems, we are stationed in Yunnan Province after all, so we will help if we can.
We will each get a packet, and the rest will be sent to several canteens. When we have lunch in the afternoon, we will give each comrade one to try.
Let the company commanders do a survey of the companies. If most of the comrades are used to smoking, then let them supply the products."
At this time, military management was relatively relaxed, and smoking and drinking were not prohibited unless it was a period of war preparedness.
Zhang Xiangnan stayed at the division headquarters to report on his work, while Zhang Shuguang had already arrived at the family compound.
"Son, I finally got you back."
Seeing her son unharmed, Su Hong's heart finally settled down. She hugged Zhang Shuguang tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Mom, it's okay. Don't you understand your son's abilities? I said I would bring Dad back safely, and I was sure he would do it.
My father is reporting to the division headquarters and will be back for dinner tonight. I was afraid you would worry, so I came back to let you know I'm safe."
Zhang Shuguang is such a grown-up, but he still feels a little embarrassed to be held in his mother's arms.
"That's great! Big brother is back. I can eat meat every day again."
In the eyes of Zhang Panpan, a little foodie, Big Brother represents countless delicious foods.
"Just tell me what you want to eat first, and I'll go to the mountain and get it for you later."
Zhang Shuguang has always been unable to resist his sister's requests.
"You've grown a greedy heart. Look at your little belly. Have you grown into a big fat girl? You won't be able to wear the flowery dress your brother bought you anymore."
It only took one year for the little girl to go from skinny to plump.
Su Hong never dreamed that one day she would be worried about her daughter being too fat.
"Mom, my sister isn't fat. It's normal for her to have a little baby fat at her age. Once she starts growing, she'll be able to lose weight quickly."
As a master of traditional Chinese medicine trained by the system, Zhang Shuguang always monitors the health of his family and is sure that they will not get sick from eating.
After chatting with his mother and briefly telling her about his experience in Ailao Mountain, Zhang Shuguang was about to go into the mountains to hunt some game when Zhao Xiumei hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Xiaohong, is Xiaoguang back?"
Ever since Zhang Shuguang went to Ailao Mountain, Zhao Xiumei has been worried about his safety at home.
After Zhang Xiangnan brought the steel company back, Cao Yongzhan called home and Zhao Xiumei hurried over.
"Grandma Zhao, I'm back."
Zhang Shuguang rushed out and held the old lady's arm, fearing that she would fall.
"Good grandson, be obedient and don't go to dangerous places in the future!"
This was the first sentence Zhao Xiumei said after seeing Zhang Shuguang. Although she was not his biological grandmother, the old lady really treated Zhang Shuguang as her own grandson.
"Okay, Grandma Zhao, I will definitely listen to you."
Zhang Shuguang didn't explain too much, he knew it was all for his own good.
Helping the old lady into the house, Zhang Shuguang repeated what he had just said to his mother. He spoke until his mouth was dry before he was able to get away.
Before leaving, Zhang Shuguang specially asked Zhao Xiumei to have dinner at home in the evening.
After greeting the guard at the gate, Zhang Shuguang entered the rainforest, which was already extremely familiar to him.
"Looks like I have to go a little further today."
As soon as he entered the rainforest, Zhang Shuguang discovered that it was different from before.
Many people have come in here in the past few days. They should be the traces left by the Song family's hunting team.
