Several other families in the courtyard were discussing the news of He Yuzhu's return at home.

Xu Family,

Xu Fugui was discussing with his wife about He Yuzhu's return to China.

"Wife, have you heard that He Daqing's son Sha Zhu has returned to China?"

Xu Fugui's wife Li Chun'e was quite surprised to hear the news.

"Lao Xu, is this news true or false? How come this idiot Zhu came back so soon?"

Before Xu Fugui could reply, Xu Damao interrupted and said, "Dad, Mom, I think this idiot Zhu must have come back as a deserter. How could he come back so quickly? There is no news at home and it is not reported in the newspapers."

Before Xu Damao could finish his words, Xu Fugui, who always loved his son, slapped him in the face without saying a word.

"Snapped............"

This made Xu Damao completely confused.

Xu Damao covered his swollen cheek and questioned his father.

"Dad, why did you hit me? Did I say something wrong?"

Xu Fugui was furious at this time, and he looked like he was going to continue the fight.

"You little brat, don't you know that words can cause trouble? You are accusing others without knowing anything. Do you know what He Yuzhu's current status is?"

Li Chun'e, who was standing by, was instantly curious when she heard what Xu Fugui said.

"Lao Xu, what is your identity? Tell me quickly."

Xu Fugui calmed himself down and said slowly: "Wife, Damao, listen carefully.

I heard from a friend of mine that a ceasefire agreement has been signed during the Korean War, so the fighting will stop for the time being.

He Yuzhu should be the first batch of troops to return to China secretly. I also heard that He Yuzhu is a first-class combat hero. He is a hero of the people. You must not use such dirty words to slander him. If you are not careful, you will have to eat peanuts, understand?"

After hearing his father's explanation, Xu Damao nodded and admitted his mistake.

"Dad, I was wrong. I promise I will never talk nonsense again and use my brain before I speak."

Seeing that his son Xu Damao knew he was wrong, Xu Fugui did not pursue the matter any further. He just felt deeply moved.

Why didn't he send Xu Damao to join the army? If he could have become a first-class combat hero like He Yuzhu, his son's future would have been bright. What a pity! There is no medicine for regret in this world.

.............................

As the eldest uncle of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, who was later called "the Lord of Morality", was the first to talk to his wife Liu Guihua about He Yuzhu.

"Wife, I never thought that the foolish boy He Yuzhu from Daqing's family would come back safely. He looks like a fool on weekdays, but he can actually get along well on the battlefield. It's true that fools have good fortunes.

Liu Guihua smiled slightly at her husband Yi Zhonghai's teasing.

"Zhong Hai, what you said is not right, you forgot that when Sha Zhu joined the army, he was accompanied by his second uncle.

I heard that his second uncle is a regiment leader, so it's good to have someone to look after him."

Yi Zhonghai did not disagree with his wife's statement.

"Wife, that being said, I heard from people that the casualties among our volunteers who participated in the Korean War were very high, but this idiot Zhu was able to come back safely. This can only mean that he is much luckier than most people."

...................................

Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu was also talking to his wife Qin Huairu about He Yuzhu's return to China.

"Huai Ru, have you heard that He Yuzhu, the silly boy from He Daqing's family, has returned from military service?"

Qin Huairu was surprised when she heard what Jia Dongxu said.

"Dongxu, it seems that time has passed very quickly. It has been less than three years and he is back. He must have suffered a lot.

I heard people say that being on the battlefield means you are in danger of death. I can only say that this silly Zhu is a fool with good fortune. However, I think it is good that our courtyard can produce a glorious volunteer soldier. "

Before Qin Huairu could finish her words, her sarcastic and unethical mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, came out from the inner room and interrupted directly:

"Huai Ru, what you said is just to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige. Look at He Daqing's son Sha Zhu, he is just a soldier at best, and what can he do after he comes back? Isn't he just going to work as a kitchen helper in Hongbinlou?

In this respect, he is not as good as our Dongxu. You see, our Dongxu is now a third-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, much better than this silly Zhu."

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

When Jia Dongxu heard what his mother Zhang Cuihua said, he did not refute it, but nodded in approval.

....................

As for the remaining Yan family and Liu family, almost all the neighbors in the courtyard were talking about He Yuzhu's deeds. Some of them were envious, some were jealous, and some were surprised.

This also illustrates an old saying very well: If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person.

..............................

As for He Daming, who was far away in Qingjing Port at this time, he led the 15th Army and was preparing a plan to repair the destroyed houses and port infrastructure for the local North Korean people.

However, how to repair it still requires communication and research with the local government.

To this end, after the 15th Army arrived in Qingjing City, the Qingjing City Government sent representatives to the 15th Army’s military command post.

The representative explained his purpose in broken Chinese.

"Comrades of the Volunteer Army, hello. On behalf of the Qingjing City Government, I invite you to attend our municipal party committee meeting to discuss how to build our city."

After hearing the suggestion made by the Qingjing City Government representative, Army Commander Qin Wei immediately said,

"Comrade representative, please go back first. After we discuss this, we will send a representative to attend your government meeting. Do you think this is okay?"

After hearing Qin Wei's answer, the city government representative nodded.

"Okay, Commander Qin, I'll wait for good news then."

After saying this, the city government representative left.
