The personnel stationed in the border area immediately contacted the other battalions to inform each company of the situation at night and put them on high alert.
Although the other party came here for petty theft and disgusting people, it may not cause any damage, but this is a matter of the country’s face. If they let these dogs in, where will they put their face on guarding the country? Come in and beat them one by one, and beat them till they go back to their mother country obediently.
After the old squad leader reported the situation to his superiors, he immediately came to look for Gu Changan. Then he patted Gu Chang’an on the shoulder excitedly, “Comrade Chang’an, you’ve done well. It’s great that you can complete a task just now. I’m worried that you will relax your vigilance when you come here. Very good, very good! I have already reported it for you, but it is a pity that we failed to catch the captive, otherwise we could still get credit for it or something.”
Gu Changan waved his hand lightly, don’t say anymore…he didn’t want to bring up the previous things at all. Now, his little heart is still bouncing.
Seeing Gu Changan waving his hands, the old squad leader smiled with satisfaction, “doing real work and not taking credit, good job!”
The other veterans applauded and gave Gu Changan a thumbs up.
Seeing everyone’s smiling faces, Gu Changan almost cried. Such a big thing happened, but no one came to comfort him. If Qing’er was here, she would definitely give him delicious food and comfort him well.
Qing’er, woo woo, I almost died!
Before, he followed Old Gazi to scout the border defense situation. Old Gazi clearly said that it was a daily reconnaissance exercise. In the end, he was separated from them and a strange smell attacked his senses. He has a good sense of smell, so whoever has a body odor, he can smell it right away. It smelled weird, not from anyone he knew. And the point is that the smell came from behind him…
He immediately rolled to the side, and sure enough, he saw a big man in an enemy military uniform holding a big rock and preparing to hit him.
Aigoo, at that moment his heart and liver simply jump out.
Fortunately, he usually trains hard, has a good physical foundation, and moves fairly fast, so he escaped.
He was so angry that he was about to shoot the opponent, and then he remembered that the old squad leader said that he could not shoot directly when he saw the enemy, because as long as he fired, it was a declaration of war. This rises to a big deal.
So when the opponent hit him with a rock, he subconsciously kicked it back.
The stone hit the opponent’s head, and the back of his foot hurt too. How can he fight alone at a time like this? He hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.
As a result, the other party ran away. It’s really a grandson1This is like one of their slang like a bastard or someone that is below or weaker than them.… Fortunately, it’s a grandson. That grandson is strong if they fight ……
When old Gazi and the others came, the enemy had already run away, but because he was hit by a stone before, the other party’s hat was smashed off. So it was brought back as a trophy.
Because of this incident, Gu Changan couldn’t sleep at night. The previous image kept appearing in my head.
All he knew before was that it was a hard job, and he couldn’t eat good food. But he didn’t know that the danger was so close to him…
The old squad leader said that a soldier must always be ready to sacrifice.
He finally knew what he was sacrificing, and he had to be ready to sacrifice himself at all times.
Covered by the quilt, Gu Changan pursed his lips and began to cry.
I really miss my mother, I really miss Qing’er. I really miss the old hen at my mother-in-law’s house, woo woo…
Su Qinghe spent two days making five catties of dried meat for Gu Chang’an. In addition, she made another five catties of dried fish.
This amount is already very large. After all, there is only this condition, and it is not appropriate to do too much. She doesn’t want to do it anymore, and it’s very laborious to make jerky every night. The dark circles under her eyes have come out these days. Her mother thought she was sick.
Anyway, save some food, Chang’an can eat it for a long time.
Chang’an is not the kind of gluttonous person, these should be enough. The most important thing is to write a letter to Chang’an, to encourage him.
So she wrote another letter to Gu Chang’an eloquently.
As a letter to the family of soldiers from far away, it is natural not to mention such things as training, meritorious service to the country, etc. She will not mention it because the leaders above will mention it every day. She heard that every regiment has a political commissar. Her encouragement will not matter much. It is better to let Chang’an feel the warmth of family care.
Family warmth is of course all about eating and drinking.
“Chang’an, you have been in the army for a long time. I promised to write to you, but it has been delayed for many days. I didn’t mean to delay, but I did it to make you something delicious. How are you doing in the army? I know it must be hard for you … You don’t have to worry about home, everything is fine at home… I made you a lot of food, I don’t know if you will like it or not. After receiving the food, you must remember to eat it. Take good care of your body… Write to me if you need anything. Mom treats me very well, giving me whatever is delicious. I will keep it for you, when you come back, let’s eat together…”
Su Qinghe took a sip of water, then ate a piece of jerky and continued to write, “All in all, the body is the capital of the revolution. You must take care of yourself, eat and drink as you should, and don’t suffer yourself…”
Su Qinghe sighed after writing this. Chang’an always trains so hard, and he still has to do tasks. It’s really unbearable to make up for his poor health.
Unfortunately, as a soldier, Chang ‘an will do some things even though he knows the hardships. He is such an excellent soldier with progressive thinking and high consciousness!
After writing the letter, Su Qinghe felt that a great event had been accomplished. Then she asked the system, “Is Chang’an back now?”
“No, he is still on mission. The time of return is tentatively scheduled for the beginning of March next year.”
“It’s been so long, and he’s still outside during New Year.”
Su Qinghe’s respect for the soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army has risen again up a level. Very good, and very powerful!
Being idle and bored, she simply looked at her star coins again. The previous reward of 10,000-star coins cannot be moved, and the seeds will be bought in the spring of the next year. There are 25-star coins left, all of which are rewarded by the system for Changan’s training and missions.
“System, what can I buy with these twenty-star coins?”
“Meet the daily needs of the host.”
Su Qinghe ate a piece of dried meat, and then silently settled the accounts. The prices of items in the system are similar to those in her future world, and the value of star coins is also similar.
With Changan’s hard training every day, plus his ability. There should be more than thirty-star coins for a month.
In this way, this is equivalent to her fixed income. Although it is not a lot, the money is still enough for her to buy some daily necessities.
Coupled with the income she earns from cooking sometimes, life will be really good in the future… Well, life is getting better and better. After getting the certificate later, let Chang’an hand over the salary… Ahem, their family has money to live on.
Fortunately, I found a hard-working young man like Chang’an.
Because Gu Changan hadn’t come back from the mission, Su Qinghe was not in a hurry to send the things over. She waited for the notification from the system before she sent something.
When she was free, she simply made cotton-padded jackets for herself at home. After all, it was Chang’an’s mother who bought her cotton and cotton cloth. If she didn’t wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, her mother-in-law would probably be sad again. It’s better to hurry up and make new clothes. If it is done quickly, maybe she can also make a padded jacket for her mother and mother-in-law.
Su Qinghe was busy making clothes, and the three brothers of the Su family were busy catching wild games. It’s cold and they can’t catch anything, but they all enjoy it.
Gao Xiulan and her daughters-in-law are busy helping Su Aidang find someone.
Two of them were found with the help of Lao Ding’s family and Lao Lin’s family.
Gao Xiulan went with her two daughters-in-law to see each other. On the way back, she had a long face, looking at the two daughters-in-law with displeasure.
Pointing at Lin Shuhong and cursing, “Eldest daughter-in-law, are you on purpose? What are you looking for? The face of that family, the mud can’t support the wall. You found it but isn’t it a hindrance to our family? You see that our family has a good life and is in a hurry, right?”
Lin Shuhong said nervously, “Mom, my parents said that girl has a very good temper, capable and virtuous. There are many brothers and sisters in the family. I want to find a good-natured girl to come to our family and take care of our sister.”
“Fart, you call that a good temper? Doesn’t know how to talk, and will shrink back after a few words. Look at her family, they do what they say, and they don’t have a temper at all. They are just fools! Worse than your family. ”
Lin Shuhong looked confused, what about her natal family? How nice it is that her natal family is honest.
It’s always better than the second sister-in-law’s family.
Of course, she just murmured this in her heart, anyway, as a sister-in-law, she did her best, and her mother-in-law didn’t like it, so she couldn’t help it.
After scolding, they followed Ding Guihua to see what Lao Ding’s house introduced.
Before entering the house, Gao Xiulan despises it, and doesn’t want it; poor, just one word. All rural people are poor. But she, a rural person, despises her, how poor she is.
Without even entering the door, she took her daughters-in-law home directly. Her face darkened.
Ding Guihua shrugged and followed behind, “Mom, what’s the matter? We haven’t seen her yet.”
Gao Xiulan took a sip, “Damn it! Are you trying to drag our family down? Look, they are all poor. We are looking for a daughter-in-law, not a debtor. Later, their family can’t live on, so they have to drag and run to our house. Even if they can’t take advantage of me, they will rebel against me.”
“ …Mom, they are poor, but they will be married into the family. Besides, the poorer they are, the more capable they are.”
“Our family does not lack capable people, but our family lacks someone who can carry your sister. If you find such a poor sister-in-law, your sister will be looked down upon by her in-laws. As for your Lao Ding’s house, if it’s changed now, I wouldn’t even be able to look at them. And you still found someone like that!”
Ding Guihua said, “Mom, our family is not poor anymore… at least we can feed everyone’s mouth. When our family was in famine, no one died of starvation.” When they first moved into the village, they were poor and didn’t even have a house. of. But over the years, houses have also been built. When there was a famine, no one died of starvation either.
Gao Xiulan understood her and said, “No one died of starvation, but someone in your family must be starving. The two elders and one bachelor can both work, who will die of starvation? If you have the ability to raise five children like our family, try it?”
Ding Guihua laughed dryly.
Gao Xiulan said again, “By the way, that brother of yours is also unmarried. It just happened that there’s that family, introduced it to your brother.”
“…”
When the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law returned home, Su Qinghe was stuffing cotton into the sleeves of her padded coat.
As soon as Gao Xiulan entered the room, she saw her daughter, and her face immediately soften, “Qing’er is making clothes, don’t hurt your eyes, let your sisters-in-law help you.”
Su Qinghe raised her head and smiled, “Mom, it’s okay. My hand is getting faster and faster now.”
Gao Xiulan smiled proudly, “Yes, our Qing’er can learn everything quickly. Look at these clothes, it’s getting better and better. Much better than your two sisters-in-law!”
The two sister-in-laws “…” Nodding obediently, they have self-awareness ……
Su Qinghe didn’t want to hear her mother scolding her sisters-in-law again, so she hurriedly said, “Mom, how was it?”
Gao Xiulan’s face tilted, “Don’t mention it, one worse than the other. It was useless to ask your two sisters-in-law to look for it!” She told Su Qinghe about her meeting today.
Su Qinghe said, “Mom, do you want to ask who my brother likes?”
“It doesn’t matter who he likes. Aren’t they all women? It’s the same for him! Anyway, we can’t drag our family down. We have to find a family with good conditions.” ”
“Mom, our family is not as good as the county magistrate’s.” Su Qinghe persuaded. She felt that if their mother continued to choose like this, her third brother would become a bachelor.
“That’s different!”
“What’s the difference?”
“The county magistrate’s family has taken a fancy to you, but I don’t like those two.”
Su Qinghe: “…”
Gao Xiulan was going to find someone in the afternoon to find out if there was any suitable family. Just when she was about to go out, Gao Xiuju came with some things. Looking at Gao Xiulan, her face stretched out. Thinking that she was here for matchmaking, she suppressed a smile on her face.
Gao Xiulan said unhappily, “What are you doing? It’ll be Chinese New Year soon, what are you doing here with a crying face?”
Gao Xiuju’s smile froze, and she took a deep breath, trying not to rush forward to fight her third sister. This mouth has not been changed for decades!
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”
