Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

After the annual meeting, Chinese New Year was just a few days away, and Mu Xi also had a holiday. Every day she either stayed at home or went to the military region to accompany her grandparents.

Zhang Yiyi's punishment came out the next day. Not only was she reprimanded, but she also lost her position as the main dancer. The next day, Zhang Yiyi's mother came and took Zhang Yiyi away. It was said that it was Minister Cui who told Zhang's mother about the matter. Zhang's mother was also a person who cared a lot about her reputation. After knowing this, she took a train overnight to take Zhang Yiyi back for education.

Minister Cui also knows Zhang's mother and understands her character. Seeing the current result, she is very satisfied and believes that when Zhang Yiyi comes back again, she will not cause trouble for her again.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Mu Chen also took a few days off.

Mu Xi was playing chess with Grandpa Mu. Grandpa Mu liked playing chess, but his chess skills were not very good. After all, Mu Xi had learned to play chess in ancient times. Although he did not master it, he was much better than Grandpa Mu, so Grandpa Mu would always do some tricks.

"I made a mistake. I didn't mean to bet here. It doesn't count this time!"

"No, not here. Let me think about it carefully. I must win this time!"

Grandpa Mu kept finding excuses to regret his moves. Mu Xi sat aside, eating the snacks that Grandma Mu made especially for her, and watched Grandpa Mu struggling with a smile in her eyes.

Grandma Mu, who was sitting next to them, couldn't stand it anymore and said speechlessly, "Old man, how can you bully your own granddaughter like this? You've already made a move, but you're still regretting it. It's only because Xiaoxi has a good temper that she patiently plays chess with you."

Grandpa Mu didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard this. Instead, he refuted confidently, "Xiao Xi thinks this is fine. You can just sit aside and watch. You are nagging because you are jealous of me."

Hearing this, Grandma Mu sneered at Grandpa Mu and said, "I'm jealous of you, jealous that you're a bad chess player? I'm disgusted that you've taken up too much of Xiaoxi's time. My dear granddaughter came here to accompany us two, but you ended up taking up all of Xiaoxi's time."

When Grandpa Mu heard this, he looked at his wife with a guilty look. Seeing that he was about to lose this round again, he said like a spoiled child, "Okay! Okay! If you don't want to play, then don't play. I'll let Xiaoxi go to you for a while. This round is a tie between the two of us."

When Mu Xi heard this, she looked at her grandfather with a smile. It seemed that her grandfather was going to act like a spoiled child again, but as long as he was happy, that was good enough.

When Grandma Mu heard this, she was satisfied and pulled Mu Xi to sit in the living room.

Mu Chen went to the army this morning and started his holiday in the afternoon. He also came to visit his grandparents when he had time. However, he got some news today and was in a bad mood. He came in with a bitter face.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad? Are you in any trouble?"

As soon as Mu Chen came in, Mu Xi noticed that Mu Chen's expression was not right and asked with concern.

At this time, the other members of the Mu family also came back. Upon hearing this, Uncle Mu also asked with concern, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong? If you encounter any problems, tell your family. Don't keep it in your heart. Let's work together to find a solution."

Seeing the concerned expressions on his family's faces, Mu Chen forced a smile, not wanting to make them worry. "Today our team received news that our captain went missing while on a mission this time, and the chance of him surviving is very small. We will select one or two people from our team to take over the captain's role.

I'm a little sad to hear that the captain had an accident, but I will adjust myself, so don't worry."

Mu Xi frowned when she heard this. Captain Liu Qi had disappeared during a mission, and now her eldest brother might be able to take on this mission. Didn't the people in her eldest brother's team only join the army for half a year? How come it was their turn to take on the mission?

"Missing?"

"That......"

When Mu Mu heard the news, she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

Uncle Mu was a little surprised to hear the news. He had learned about Liu Qi before and knew that Liu Qi was from the special forces and was injured in a previous mission, so he came here to lead the new recruits. He wanted Liu Qi to recuperate for a while and wanted him to pick a few reserve special forces soldiers to train them well.

At that time, Uncle Mu learned that Liu Qi was such an outstanding person with good character, so he had no objection to him pursuing his niece. He also thought that after Liu Qi came back, he and his wife would help him so that his niece would not miss such an outstanding man.

Although Father Mu particularly disliked Liu Qi thinking about his daughter and wished that Liu Qi would disappear forever, he was also worried when he heard that Liu Qi had disappeared on a mission. However, although he was worried, Father Mu still did not agree with his daughter finding a partner who often had to go on missions. He felt sorry for his daughter and did not want Xiaoxi to live in fear every day.

"Xiao Chen, don't think too much. There is still a chance of a turnaround before the sacrifice notice is issued. Since you have chosen to join the army to defend the country, you must also be mentally prepared. This situation will only happen more often, not less..."

Uncle Mu gave Mu Chen some psychological counseling. When Mu Chen heard this, he understood the truth, but as it was the first time he encountered this, he still couldn't help feeling sad.

Although Mu Xi was a little worried about Liu Qi and prayed that Liu Qi could survive, she was more worried about her elder brother. After all, Liu Qi, as an experienced soldier, still encountered an accident during this mission, so her elder brother, a new soldier, would be in even greater danger. However, Mu Xi thought of another possibility and frowned even more tightly.

Mu Xi couldn't help but ask, "Brother, since this mission is so difficult, why do you want soldiers like you who have just joined the army to carry it out? Wouldn't it be more dangerous?"

Mu Chen shook his head when he heard this, and doubts appeared in his eyes. "I don't know either. I haven't made a final decision yet."

Uncle Mu heard Mu Xi's words and explained, "Since the leader chose to send new soldiers to carry out the mission, there must be a reason for it, so you don't have to worry too much. The leader will not want to sacrifice anyone."

When Mu Xi and Mu Chen heard this, they nodded as if they understood.
