With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

The instructor was silent for a moment, feeling reluctant, but still nodded in agreement.

"Under the current situation, it would be better for you to leave the team. Children are our hope for the future, and we can't afford any mistakes. When we build a base in the future, you can bring your children with you!"

There was a rule during the Long March that no soldier was allowed to bring children with him.

Some of the Red Army soldiers in the team were already parents, and had to reluctantly part with their children before the Long March.

Some children stayed in the base, while others were sent back to their hometown for care.

Li Suzhen is getting further and further pregnant and will be giving birth soon, but the baby she gives birth to cannot follow in the team.

We can only look for help from fellow villagers in the nearby village to adopt the child. When the time comes, it will be so heartbreaking to see the mother and child separated!

It would be better to stop now, leave the team, and find a safe place for the parents to welcome the arrival of their child.

Xu Shitou's eyes were red and his voice was choked.

"Instructor, although we have left the team, we are still Red Army soldiers! As long as the base construction needs us, we will go back immediately!"

"Good comrades, I'm waiting for you!"

"Yes!"

Xu Shitou saluted the instructor with a standard military salute.

Then Xu Shitou and his wife Li Suzhen talked about their next plans and temporarily left the team to focus on their pregnancy.

"Okay, then leave the team."

Li Suzhen's tone was full of helplessness and regret. This was the only way now.

Her health is becoming increasingly uncomfortable now. If she continues to follow the team, she will definitely drag down other comrades, which is something she doesn't want to see.

Xu Shitou saw the disappointment in his wife's heart and comforted her.

"It's okay, we'll come back once the team has found a base!"

"it is good!"

Li Suzhen nodded and smiled gently.

The Red Army stipulated that every soldier who needed to temporarily leave the team due to injury or special reasons could receive a subsidy of eight yuan.

The couple received 16 yuan, and in order to take care of them, the instructor also specially approved a bag of rice for them to take away.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the two men took off their military uniforms and changed into civilian clothes.

Everyone was reluctant to leave. Li Suzhen and the female soldiers in the team hugged and said goodbye one by one.

During these months of arduous long march, their relationship has become as close as that of sisters.

Zhou Yue felt her nose sore as she watched the parting scene and almost shed tears.

She and Sister Suzhen have been together for such a long time, and have been eating and sleeping together recently. She really doesn't want to be separated like this!

But she knew that separation at this time was necessary, and they would definitely meet again in the future!

As Zhou Yue hugged Sister Suzhen, she whispered in her ear.

"Sister Suzhen, go west along this road. After you cross two hills, you will see an adobe house. You can live there."

After spending some time together, Li Suzhen realized that Zhou Yue was different from them and seemed to possess mysterious magic.

She firmly believed in her heart that it was right to do what Zhou Yue said.

"I'll listen to you. I'll stay there and wait for the birth of my baby. When the main force builds the base, I'll come find you."

Zhou Yue smiled with shallow dimples and her eyes sparkled.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the base. I'll be the child's godmother then~"

After hearing this, Li Suzhen smiled knowingly, "Okay, we'll get together again then!"

Xu Shitou helped his wife leave the team and planned the next steps with his wife.

"How about we find a village nearby and see if we can stay there?"

Both of them are from Ruijin, Jiangxi Province. This place is too far away from their hometown, so naturally they have to choose a residence nearby to give birth.

Li Suzhen held her husband's hand tightly and looked ahead with a firm gaze.

"Let's go west!"

After they climbed over two mountains, they found an adobe house halfway up the mountain.

This place is located deep in the mountains and dense forests, far away from human habitation, with almost no other residents nearby. It is extremely quiet in the mountains and forests, and is not disturbed by the outside world.

Li Suzhen took Xu Shitou into the adobe house. There was no one inside and no extra clutter.

There was only a simple wooden bed, a table, three chairs, and an earthen stove.

Li Suzhen smiled knowingly, "Shitou, let's live here from now on."

Xu Shitou looked around the adobe house. Although it looked a bit shabby from the outside, it was very clean inside.

The strange thing is that although there is a bed and a table inside, there are no other sundries, it doesn't look like anyone lives here.

"Okay, we'll live here."

When Xu Shitou was putting his things away, he discovered that there was something else going on in this adobe house.

"Suzhen, look, there seems to be a cellar here."

Xu Shitou opened the cellar cover and found a sturdy wooden ladder leading down. The ladder was not steep and looked quite stable.

The light downstairs in the cellar wasn't very good, so I couldn't see clearly what was inside.

Xu Shitou was quite curious about what was underneath, so he walked down along the wooden ladder.

"Suzhen, I'll go down and take a look first."

"Okay, be careful."

After Xu Shitou went down, his hand accidentally touched a cylindrical object.

“Flashlight, there is a flashlight here!”

Xu Shitou's tone was a little surprised when he found this thing here.

Although there were flashlights in the Red Army during the Long March, they were very precious things and he had only seen them.

He turned on the flashlight, which was several times brighter than the light in the Red Army's ranks. The originally dark cellar was instantly illuminated.

"Su, Suzhen! Come down and take a look!"
