Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

The meal didn't end until around six o'clock in the evening.

Si Lu finished all the wine that he bought. Both of them reeked of alcohol, but they remained sober.

Jiang Yan originally wanted to help clean up before leaving, as three people would definitely work faster. But Zhang Xingye said that it was unreasonable to let guests do the work, and he insisted that they go back to the guesthouse.

"It's getting late, you guys should go back and rest! We still have to travel tomorrow, we can get together again when we have time."

Si Lu and Zhang Xingye said goodbye at the door, holding hands tightly. "Stinky boy, you're going to get married soon."

Zhang Xingye's eyes were full of smiles. "As I said before, Xiao Jiang is a good girl, don't let her down."

"I know. You've told me so many times."

"Do you think I'm too long-winded?"

Si Lu chuckled, "I hope that you, old squad leader, can also come out of this and start a family sooner."

When Zhang Xingye heard this, he let go of his hand and said impatiently, "Get lost, leave early."

Si Lu didn't say anything else. He raised his hand to salute him and then strode away.

Jiang Yan, who was standing in the distance, nodded slightly at Zhang Xingye, and the two of them went downstairs.

Zhang Xingye's eyes were hot as he looked at the backs of the two people, as if he saw his past self.

On the way back, Si Lu sighed from time to time, and no one knew what he was sighing about.

Jiang Yan wanted to ask about Zhang Xingye, but she felt that she was being too gossipy, so she forced herself to keep her mouth shut.

She was actually very curious.

You know, when she was at the base before, her favorite thing to do was to listen to gossip, especially in the apocalyptic environment, killing zombies and counterattacking cities every day. People were numb, but talking about gossip would make them feel different!

Si Lu seemed to see through her, "Are you curious?"

"What?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but laughed first.

"Curious, curious."

Si Lu's face was a little red. Seeing Jiang Yan like this, the light in his eyes was like a broken galaxy. "The old squad leader joined the army when he was a teenager. At that time, the revolution had not yet succeeded. Many people were doing the most dangerous work in the rear, and his sweetheart was one of them."

Jiang Yan understood.

Although intelligence work is not as fraught as charging on the battlefield, it is also full of dangers. They lurk in the heart of the enemy, gather intelligence for their comrades in the front line, and send out intelligence at the risk of their lives.

Countless people sacrificed their lives for a piece of information, just for the same goal.

Jiang Yan didn't say anything, her eyes were wet, she already understood something.

"In June of 1949, she died on the eve of liberation."

This sentence is undoubtedly heavy. The love that blossomed in youth ended in such a tragic way before it could come to fruition.

"So, the reason why he hasn't started a family yet is because he can't forget that girl?"

Si Lu shook his head, his tone somewhat desolate, "The old squad leader got drunk once and cried to us that he had almost forgotten what she looked like. He shouldn't have forgotten, but it had been too long, and when they met, the old squad leader already knew her identity, so he didn't dare to remember what she looked like."

For the first time, Jiang Yan felt a bitter taste in her mouth when listening to gossip. She wondered how bitter Zhang Xingye, the person involved, must be feeling.

Perhaps what the times have given him is suffering, separation and loneliness.

God is so unfair.

"He can't get out by himself."

If I had come out of it and let it go, I might have started a family long ago, and kept my past lover in my heart...

But he couldn't let it go, so he punished himself with suffering, as if only in this way could the pain in his heart be alleviated.

Or maybe he felt that this way he would feel less guilty.

During the whole journey, the two of them did not speak again, and no one knew what they were feeling in their hearts.

When they arrived at the guesthouse, the two parted ways and Jiang Yan went upstairs by herself.

Although Si Lu reeked of alcohol, he was very sober. After entering the room and washing up simply, he lay down on the bed.

I couldn't fall asleep at all. All I could think about was how Jiang Yan dressed up as a doctor and subdued the robber that day.

God knows what his mood was that day.

He was afraid that something might happen to Jiang Yan, but at the same time he hoped that she could turn the tide and rescue the hostages.

She did it.

Si Lu's mood was complicated. He was really happy, but he also felt that Jiang Yan was a little mysterious.

He turned over and lay on his stomach with his legs extended out of the bed.

Not everything needs to be reasonable. Many things in this world are unreasonable.

For example, Jiang Yan clearly injected Du Ming with the anesthetic lidocaine, but Du Ming insisted that she used an electric baton, which was unfair.

Electric baton? Who saw it?

He loves her and she loves him, and that's all good.

Si Lu fell asleep with a smile on his face.

At eight o'clock the next morning, the transport truck from the machinery factory stopped near the guesthouse on time. Jiang Yan and Si Lu returned the keys, checked the goods on the truck, and then took the transport truck to the Victory Brigade.

Jiang Yan never expected that the letter of praise from the county bureau arrived before she even returned.

The registered letter arrived quite quickly. When it reached Bao Zhiguo, he was still a little confused.

Is it a registered letter from the county to the brigade?

Could I have remembered it wrong? But the postmark is correct.

It was only after he opened the letter that Bao Zhiguo knew what had happened.

Young educated youth Xiao Jiang is really amazing. He did good deeds, saved the hostages, and caught the kidnapper regardless of his own safety!

That's so wise, it's amazing.

Bao Zhiguo was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He immediately told the news to deputy captain Li Changsheng and accountant Ma.

"I told you, Xiao Jiang the educated youth is a powerful crime fighter."

"Haha, but it sounds pretty thrilling! That criminal seems to have been a soldier, and his anti-detection ability is quite strong. If it were someone more timid, he would have revealed his true colors and died without knowing how he died."

"Yes! No, I have to talk to Xiao Jiang the educated youth. It's right to do good things, but we must also pay attention to safety."

Bao Zhiguo couldn't wait to use a loudspeaker to publicize the matter.

There is a banner in the production team, which was also earned by the educated youth Xiao Jiang. This time, there is also a letter of praise from the county bureau. What a great honor it is for them!

Whenever people from their Victory Brigade go out, they are looked up to by others, all thanks to the educated youth Xiao Jiang.

Li Caiying naturally heard what was said on the loudspeaker, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became. She turned around and thought that when Xiao Jiang came back, she would make dumplings for him to calm his nerves.

In Northeast China, making dumplings is the highest etiquette for entertaining guests.

Li Caiying turned around and saw her eldest son who was in a daze. She became suspicious. This child seemed to be worried and even asked for leave to come back. Could something have happened?

"Victory, what's wrong with you?"

Bao Shengli hesitated for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, I want a divorce."
