Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

At this moment, every bit of the past began to emerge in Xu Desheng's mind, and a strong feeling of regret welled up in his heart.

Once, he secretly complained about Lao Niu's disloyalty and even went to tell tales.

However, it was not until today that he suddenly realized that what really caused him to be exiled was not Lao Niu's report or the former commander Lu's exaggeration, but his own neglect of his wife and daughter.

If I had been stricter and controlled the bad habits of my wife and daughter, not letting them be self-righteous, arrogant, and insolent, there would not have been such humiliation today!

Alas, I have lived so smartly for half my life, but in the end I fell into a big trap because of my wife and daughter. Who can I blame for this? I can only say that I reaped what I sowed. It's so embarrassing!

Deputy Commander Xu now felt like crying but had no tears. He raised his head and sighed, then said to the driver:

"drive!"

If his daughter's fuss only caused her old father to be demoted, it would be fine. But if it implicates his son or even grandson, that would be a huge sin!

If that were the case, a hundred years later, he would not be able to face his ancestors in the underworld!

Oh my god, if I had known that his wife and daughter would betray him like this, I would never have indulged them like this!

Xu Desheng stared blankly at the trees passing by outside the car window, his eyes empty, as if those green lives had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, all he was thinking about was Brigade Commander Niu.

When he thought that he was demoted half a level in military rank just because of a few careless words from his wife and daughter, while Lao Niu made great military achievements and was promoted for uncovering several spies hidden in the army, including a senior general, a feeling of resentment welled up in his heart, making him feel extremely depressed.

Not only did Xu Desheng and Niu Dezhi join the army in the same year, they were also often compared because of their names, and later became each other's strongest competitors.

For many years, Xu Desheng had always suppressed Niu Dezhi: when he was the battalion commander, Niu Dezhi was only the deputy battalion commander; when he was promoted to regiment commander, Niu Dezhi became the deputy regiment commander; the year before last, when Xu Desheng became the division commander, Niu Dezhi was about to be promoted to deputy division commander...

However, now, the two of them are about to be at the same level! Moreover, this is just a temporary balance!

Lao Niu is rising step by step, but I can foresee that I will only stagnate in the future. Sooner or later, I will lose half of my position to Lao Niu!

In the past, my wife would often show off in front of Lao Niu’s wife because I was one level higher than Lao Niu. In the future, when she finds out that Lao Niu will be one or half a level higher than her, will she feel secretly uncomfortable and regret her past recklessness?

After Deputy Division Commander Xu left, Lu Zhihao met with Brigade Commander Niu Dezhi, who was about to be promoted to Deputy Division Commander.

"Xiao Niu, you have done a great deed recently! This is not just as simple as successfully arresting several spies, but it has also brought clarity to our revolutionary team!"

The old leader patted Niu Dezhi's shoulder excitedly and said.

Niu Dezhi smiled modestly:

"Thank you for the compliment, old commander. We were just lucky and happened to discover those spies. I never thought they were hiding so deeply!"

The old leader shook his head and said seriously:

"How can there be such a thing as coincidence? As the saying goes, 'A strong general has no weak soldiers.' The brigade you lead is really full of talents! Take Comrade Geng Changgu of your brigade for example. If this mission was carried out by someone else, with the battle deployment leaked and there being traitors among the cadres, I'm afraid the whole army would be wiped out in nine out of ten cases.

But he was able to rely on his wisdom and courage to defeat the enemy with fewer people, not only completing the mission but also ensuring that everyone returned safely. This is really amazing!"

Lu Zhihao said, with endless admiration in his eyes.

Hearing the old leader's praise for Geng Changshuo, Niu Dezhi smiled proudly. He knew Geng Changshuo's ability and quality, and understood the efforts and sweat behind this victory. At this moment, he was recognized by the old leader, which made him feel extremely gratified.

He nodded vigorously, and answered with an extremely serious and sincere expression:

"Old Commander, how dare I hide anything from you! To tell you the truth, we were able to catch this dog spy and achieve such a great achievement this time, all thanks to the help of an expert! If it weren't for him, with just my own ability, I don't think I would be able to catch even a hair of that spy!

But speaking of this little Geng, he is really capable! Old Chief, you don’t know, when we heard that our marching plan had been leaked and there were spies in the team, our hearts were in our throats! We all felt that we were doomed and might die heroically.

Who would have thought that they were not affected at all, but immediately adjusted their tactics. They used only a few hundred people to defeat a large group of enemies, and also seized a lot of guns, ammunition and other things.

When I first heard the news, my jaw almost dropped to the ground!"

After hearing this, Taoist Priest Lu first burst into laughter, but soon he frowned and said angrily: "What do you mean by 'I am not an old man'? How dare you claim to be the old man in front of me?"

Niu Dezhi looked embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, old leader, I spoke too quickly and said something wrong."

In fact, Chief Lu did not really want to blame him. Instead, he admired Niu Dezhi's straightforward and frank personality. Seeing him admit his mistake so quickly, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Xiao Niu, after all these years, you still maintain your outspoken style and never beat around the bush! That's great. I especially appreciate your straightforward, bold and forthright character, which is much better than Xu Desheng... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's talk about how you caught that spy?"

"Old Chief, you don't know that we were able to catch the spy this time purely out of luck.

Late that night, a man was suddenly thrown into the home of Liu Xunwu, the head of our regiment. This man also had a note attached to him, saying that this person... After some interrogation, we found that this guy was not only a spy himself, but also came from a family of spies! Then we continued to track down this clue..."

When talking about the time of catching the spy, Niu Dezhi became very excited, and unknowingly turned into a chatterbox, talking incessantly.
