Chapter 63: Which Two Comrades?

Xu Weilan’s heart skipped a beat, “Which… two?”

As a soldier’s family member, she couldn’t bear to hear this news.

Zhao Chunhua wiped her eyes and said uncomfortably, “Captain Jiang from Sister Chen Yin’s family, and Instructor Yao from Sister Qi Lu’s family.”

Xu Weilan was confused, “Why would the instructor go on a mission?”

“Instructor Yao’s combat capability is very high. He was very strong and good at it, so the leaders approved his request.” Zhao Chunhua choked up as she spoke.

Xu Weilan nodded, “Sister Chen Yin, you must be feeling very uncomfortable, right?”

Zhao Chunhua wiped her eyes, “I just passed by and saw her crying so hard that she looked unrecognizable.”

Xu Weilan’s heart ached, and she wanted to go and see her, just to comfort her, but if too many people went, it would only cause her trouble and make her constantly face the reality of her husband’s sacrifice.

Zhao Chunhua sighed and left.

Xu Weilan followed Xu Nian with a heavy heart.

Xu Nian’s eyes also turned red, “Sister, don’t be sad. He sacrificed for the country, it is a glorious thing!”

Xu Weilan smiled: “Niannian, are you afraid?”

But Xu Nian shook her head firmly, “No!”

Xu Weilan patted her shoulder and said, “Women are just as good as men.”

She thought she would be scared, back off, and not want to join the army.

The two returned home with heavy hearts.

Xu Weilan looked worriedly at Deputy Captain Zhu’s house next door, but saw that the door was closed and there was no sign of Xiao Shijie. She called out, but there was no response.

Battalion Commander Jiang and Instructor Yao died.

What about Deputy Captain Zhu? Is it safe?

Why are Xiao Shijie and He Miao not at home?

He Miao should be off work at this time.

Xu Weilan was not at home, but Sister Mei still came to clean for her and bring her food as usual.

So the house is clean and there is everything we need to eat.

Xu Weilan was worried about the people next door, so she told Xu Nian to do as he pleased.

Xu Nian saw her worry, washed her hands and cut some fruit for her, “Sister Lan, eat some fruit and replenish water.”

Xu Weilan ate the peach absent-mindedly, watching for any movement outside.

Until night.

It’s getting dark.

Xiao Shijie and He Miao didn’t come back either.

Zhao Chunhua came back. She went to the field to pick some vegetables and brought some beans to Xu Weilan. “Sister Xu, these are grown by me. They have worm holes. You can eat them after you pick them.”

“Thank you, Sister Zhao. Deputy Director Zhu The leader went on a mission with them. Did he get any news back? I didn’t see Xiao Shijie either. I’m a little worried. “

Zhao Chunhua looked at the Zhu family’s gate. “Maybe He Miao took the children into the city to do some shopping. This spendthrift daughter-in-law loves to eat out and shop.

Deputy Head Zhu should be fine. “

Xu Weilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Deep down in her heart, she didn’t want anything to happen to any of her comrades.

Xu Weilan brought the beans in, and Xu Nian took them and picked them, removing the heads and tails, and then the parts with worm holes, and put them in a pot to soak.

Xu Nian asked, “Sister Lan, how do we eat these beans?”

“You can do it yourself.”

Xu Weilan replied absentmindedly.

Xu Nian realized that her sister was unhappy because someone had sacrificed their lives, and she was also worried about her brother-in-law.

Xu Nian’s cooking skills are not as good as Xu Qian’s, but they are also pretty good.

Soon she prepared dinner.

It happened that He Miao and Xiao Shijie came back from outside.

Xu Weilan opened the door and shouted, “Sister He, has Shijie eaten yet? Come to my house for dinner.”

When He Miao saw Xu Weilan coming back, he smiled and said, “We’ve been to a restaurant.”

Then he looked at little Shijie.

Little Shijie ran to Xu Weilan’s yard and said, “Pretty sister, these are the mountain products that grandma sent. They are very fragrant. Please try them.

” Xu Weilan took the bag without hesitation and said, “Come in and sit down.”

He Miao entered the room unceremoniously.

Xu Weilan looked at He Miao and felt that she didn’t seem to know about the sacrifices of Captain Jiang and Instructor Yao. Maybe they were just out and missed each other.

Xu Weilan introduced Xu Nian to the two of them.

Xu Nian was very outgoing and they became friends quickly.

Xu Nian cooked braised pork with beans, fried a tomato and egg, and served the rice.

He Miao saw that they were going to eat and prepared to leave.

Xu Weilan was afraid that if she went out, someone would talk too much, so she said, “Sister He, sit down and play. I have some parts of my script that I want to discuss with you.

If you don’t mind, try my sister’s cooking.”

“Okay!”

He Miao You’re totally welcome.

Xiao Shijie looked at his mother speechlessly. How rude of her.

After dinner.

He Miao wanted to go out for a walk, but Xu Weilan said, “Why walk? It’s so hot outside. It’s better to be cool at home.”

Xiao Shijie noticed something was wrong, and looked at Xu Weilan, blinking his eyes, as if to say: What’s the secret?

Xu Weilan also blinked and asked him to cooperate.

Xiao Shijie cooperated.

He Miao was forced to stay until nine o’clock in the evening before being allowed to go home.

Xu Weilan tried her best but still couldn’t resist God’s arrangement.

Xu Nian had just finished washing the clothes and Xu Weilan hung them up.

Someone is coming from next door.

Xu Nian looked the female comrade up and down. She looked like she had been crying, with red and swollen eyes, and looked pitiful.

He Miao opened the door, “Hey, Sister Qi, why are you here so late?”

Last name Qi?

Xu Nian instantly thought of Qi Lu.

She and Qi Lu didn’t have much contact, and they even rarely met.

I’ve heard Zhao Chunhua mention it a few times.

Qi Lu is a city girl with a job. She looks down on those who come from the countryside. She is usually arrogant and doesn’t take anyone seriously.

Although He Miao was a spendthrift, he never looked down on anyone.

Although both are city girls, Zhao Chunhua prefers He Miao.

Of course, Qi Lu, who thought she was superior to others, didn’t interact much with these old military wives and rural women.

He only interacts with city lesbians of status like He Miao or Xu Moli.

While Xu Weilan was thinking about this, Qi Lu over there had already started crying, “Sister He, wuuuu…”

As she spoke, she hugged He Miao directly.

He Miao was frightened and asked nervously, “Lulu, don’t cry. Tell me who bullied you, I’ll go and settle the score with her!”

Qi Lu burst into tears, “Sister He, my old Yao died! What do you think?” How could he be so selfish! He was not originally assigned to this mission.

But he insisted on getting involved! Now, he has lost his life and he will never come back! They said that his body could not even be found!

Ugh… …Sister He…what should I do? How can I live?”

He Miao was stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to digest what Qi Lu said.

She, who has always had a slow brain, suddenly thought of Xu Weilan’s abnormal behavior tonight, so she knew about it. She was afraid that she would worry, so she didn’t let her go to the family compound for a stroll, because she was afraid that she would receive the news and feel sad.

He Miao turned his head and looked at Xu Weilan, “Weilan, did you know it a long time ago?”

Xu Weilan nodded, “I don’t want you to think too much. Deputy Captain Zhu should be fine.”

He Miao’s mind was blank, and he nodded instinctively, then looked at Seeing Qi Lu crying in front of her, she had no time to think more and kept comforting Qi Lu.

Xu Weilan also wanted to comfort Qi Lu, but she felt that no matter what she said, it would be powerless.
