Chapter 18

Drive him away, oh no, after sending He Nanfeng away, Su Wan locked the gate of the courtyard.

But not long after, someone knocked on the door. It was a child, and he said his father asked him to deliver the food.

Su Wan thought about it. She had just arrived on the island, and the only person she had any contact with in the village was Village Chief Jiang.

So he opened the door and asked:

“Kid, is your father Village Chief Jiang?”

“Hello, beautiful sister. My father is the village chief. He asked me to bring you some food.”

The little boy was about seven or eight years old, with a chubby face and very energetic.

Su Wan smiled when she heard this. This kid has a really sweet mouth.

It’s a pity that she doesn’t have any candy on her, otherwise she would definitely grab a handful and give it to the other person.

“Thanks.”

I took a look at the vegetable basket in the child’s hand. It was full of green vegetables, which were obviously grown in his own field.

The gift may be small but the sentiment is great. Su Wan appreciated the kindness of Village Chief Jiang.

“Beautiful sister, my dad said that there are a lot of vegetables in my vegetable garden, so there is no need to return the basket to me in a hurry. I still have a lot of vegetables. If you eat all the vegetables, you can come to our vegetable garden to pick more anytime.

My vegetable patch is at the very end of the village. If you want to pick some vegetables, you can find me at the entrance of the village and I will show you the way.

The little boy is not only sweet-mouthed but also talkative.

Who can resist such a cute and sensible little boy?

Before Su Wan could say anything, the little boy ran away.

He was afraid that she would chase him or something, so he ran very fast.

I guess Village Chief Jiang gave some instructions and didn’t give Su Wan a chance to refuse.

There was no way, Su Wan closed the gate and thought that Village Chief Jiang was a kind-hearted man, and the child he raised was also very clever.

Now, we have dinner.

They will go shopping tomorrow and buy some extra candy.

Next time you see this little boy, give him some more candy as a way to get away?

……

At the entrance of the military area, there was a tattered shoe on the ground, and no one cared about it.

Most of the onlookers have dispersed, but some are still frightened by the excitement that just happened.

My goodness, Captain Huo abandoned his wife and children, what’s the difference between him and Chen Shimei!

That’s right, didn’t you see how skinny the original wife was? She raised a pair of children well, but you can see the mother came all the way to find her husband, gave all the good food to her children, and she herself was starving to the point of being skin and bones. How pitiful!

I heard that this original wife was chosen by Captain Huo’s parents in his hometown to carry on the family line, and she has no feelings for Captain Huo.

No matter how heartless you are, if you sleep with someone, you have to be responsible for them!

That’s right, the original wife even gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. What a blessing! Captain Huo hasn’t been home for seven years. It was all his original wife who took care of her parents-in-law and worked in the fields to earn work points to raise the children…

Oh, how miserable.

I don’t know how the leaders in the army will handle this. I think if they don’t give the original wife an explanation, there will be no way to resolve this matter.

When He Nanfeng and Liu Yunfei passed by quietly, they heard the general discussion.

The two looked at each other and quickened their pace.

The political commissar held this emergency meeting probably not just to criticize Huo Junxiao.

There should be warnings to other officers, as well as other major events…

As time passed, the crowd completely dispersed.

Calm was restored outside the military district gate, however, the family compound was in chaos!

News spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

The news that Captain Huo had abandoned his wife and children spread like a tide.

But within an afternoon, the news spread to the family compound, the cafeteria, and the art troupe…

Luo Qingqing, who was practicing dancing, was not paying attention. She missed her jump while spinning and fell to the ground, spraining her ankle.

“Ah~”

“Sister Qingqing!”

“Get the medical kit!”

“Ice!”

“Is the injury serious?”

“Do you want to go to the infirmary?”

The young girls in the group were talking at once and were extremely nervous.

This is enough to show how popular Luo Qingqing is.

“I’m fine. You guys practice the rhythm first. I’ll go back to the dorm and rest.”

Luo Qingqing touched her ankle, and the pain made her delicate eyebrows and eyes show a hint of pain.

But this pain was far less than what she felt in her heart.

Brother Huo, his wife is here, and she brought a pair of children with her!

Didn’t he say that his marriage with his original wife was arranged by his family elders?

Why did she sleep with him and have a child?

It was clearly agreed that he would resolve the issues in his hometown as soon as possible, divorce his original wife and marry her!

Now, the original wife has come and brought the child with her, and everyone knows about it!

How did he get divorced?

Is there still a future for her and him?

“Yaoyao, help Qingqing to the infirmary. The others can continue to practice dancing.”

The director of the art troupe came and checked the ankle of the stage star. It was a minor injury and nothing serious. He just needed to rest for a few days.

I still have to go to the infirmary and practice this dance.

“receive.”

Zhou Wenyao nodded and responded crisply.

In the group, she had the best relationship with Qingqing, so she was the one who sent Qingqing to the infirmary, and no one else said anything.

Luo Qingqing thanked the team leader, asked for two days off, and left the dance studio with Yaoyao’s support.

She couldn’t give up on herself yet. She had to find an opportunity to ask Brother Huo in person whether they had a future!

…….

Military Affairs Meeting Room——

At the long table, Chief Fang sat at the head, followed by those ranked by military rank.

He Nanfeng and Liu Yunfei sat in the battalion commander’s seat, neither in the front nor at the end.

There is no place. The man standing in front of the political commissar is the person who triggered this meeting.

Huo Junxiao.

“Report to the chief, everyone is here.”

“Meeting.”

With Chief Fang’s order, the meeting officially began.

Everyone sat upright, facing the leader, listening to the political commissar criticize Huo Junxiao.

Some people were called to emergency meetings for unknown reasons, while others heard some inside information on the way there.

He Nanfeng and Liu Yunfei had heard about the general situation at the gate of the military district and now looked very calm.

Especially He Nanfeng, he thought he had already asked for leave today, but his leader still called him over.

With such a big fuss, criticizing Huo Junxiao in public, I’m afraid he has something else to announce after the criticism?

A soldier’s duty is to obey orders, military orders are as heavy as a mountain!

Political Commissar Liu had finished drooling, and only then did they enter the next stage.

Punishment!

The incident of abandoning his wife and children had a very bad impact. After discussion with the superiors, it was decided to demote Huo Junxiao to battalion commander, a reduction of two levels!

You should know that promotions in the military nowadays are not based on your seniority, but on your military achievements.

As the saying goes, third-class merit is received while standing, second-class merit is received while lying down, and first-class merit is received by family members.

It goes without saying how difficult it is to get promoted step by step.

Huo Junxiao’s personal ability is unquestionable as he was promoted to the position of group leader.

The first demotion is a blow to everyone!

Sure enough, upon hearing this punishment, Huo Junxiao clenched his fists, and his expressionless face suddenly changed…
