Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Since the trains of this era all used traditional steam locomotives and used the principle of boiling water, their speed was relatively slow, at about 50 kilometers per hour.

Although the journey ahead is long, it cannot extinguish the passion in the hearts of these volunteer soldiers.

After another three days and three nights of travel, the military train finally arrived at 49 cities.

Why was He Daming so sure? It was because he saw through the car window the ancient city walls outside the 49 cities, which had witnessed the thousand-year history of China and stood directly at the outermost edge of the 49 cities.

Those city walls looked so majestic and grand, they were witnesses of history. It was also the first time for He Daming to see them. But it was a pity that these ancient monuments representing the long history of China were eventually demolished in the future.

As for the initiator of this incident, it was the Mr. Dog mentioned by the famous writer. This guy was very bold and even wanted to dig up the grave of Zhu Laosi's family.

As the train whistled, it signaled that it was about to enter the station.

As the train stopped, He Daming and others couldn't wait to get off.

Those who got off the train this time included those who had applied for home leave like He Daming, and the soldiers and cadres who were preparing to retire.

The 15th Army's final destination this time is Xiaotian City, Beihu Province, located in the Changjiang River Basin. They had previously received orders to use this place as the military's garrison area.

Army Commander Qin Wei's hometown was also there, so naturally he did not get off the train.

Before getting off the car, He Daming said goodbye to the commander and the others.

"Commander, Political Commissar, and everyone else, take care on your journey. We'll see you at the Jiankang Military and Political Academy."

Everyone nodded in response.

"Okay, Deputy Commander He, take care of yourself too."

Accompanying He Daming on his return to the Siheyuan to visit his relatives were his personal bodyguard Wang Gang and administrative bodyguard Zhao Tiezhu.

After all, he is now a deputy army-level cadre and is indeed qualified to be equipped with guards, one civil and one military.

He Daming and his group were also relatively low-key. Since the Volunteer Army uniforms did not have any insignia such as epaulettes or badges, they looked like three ordinary Volunteer Army soldiers.

Because a group of volunteer soldiers had already returned home before, the common people in the 1 cities were not surprised by the appearance of these volunteer soldiers. They were somewhat accustomed to it, but their eyes were full of respect.

Like He Yuzhu, He Daming was also a frugal person. After he and his two guards took the tram to the eastern district, they chose to walk to Nanluoguxiang.

By the time they arrived at the courtyard, it was already close to 5 o'clock in the evening, and the neighbors who had gone out to work had returned home one after another.

When they saw three volunteer soldiers heading towards the compound, they all speculated about the identities of these three volunteer soldiers.

However, they could not guess it, because according to the information they knew, it seemed that only He Daqing's son He Yuzhu from their courtyard had gone to participate in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and no one from other families seemed to have participated.

Liu Haizhong, who usually likes to meddle in other people's business, saw He Daming and others walking in. As the second uncle of the Siheyuan Management Committee, he took the lead in blocking He Daming's way.

“Comrade, have you come to the wrong place? We don’t seem to know you.”

When He Daming saw the fat man with narrowed eyes in front of him, he knew that this guy was Liu Haizhong, the second uncle who had the dream of becoming an official.

He did not put on airs, but replied very politely,

"You must be Comrade Liu Haizhong, my name is He Daming, and I'm here to look for my brother He Daqing."

Liu Haizhong had heard of He Daming, but he didn't have much impression of him. After all, He Daming had only come to the courtyard once in all these years, so it was impossible for him to remember him.

When he heard that it was He Daqing's brother, he did not continue to stop him, but instead politely replied,

"So you are Daqing's brother. Excuse me, Daqing is in his own house. Go straight from here and you will find the first house around the corner."

He Daming nodded.

"Thanks..."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Daming took his two guards and walked towards He Daqing's house.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw He Daqing washing rice. He immediately greeted him.

"Big brother!"

When He Daqing heard the word "brother", he was obviously stunned for a moment. When he turned his head and saw He Daming appear in front of him, he could no longer control his excitement and hugged He Daming warmly.

"Daming, you are finally back. Why didn't you write to let me know in advance so I could pick you up?"

He Daming was deeply moved when he heard what He Daqing said.

Because when he was a child, his elder brother He Daqing would always give him the delicious food. For example, when eating sweet potatoes, he would eat the skin and leave the meat inside for him.

Although he is a lustful and somewhat foolish person, he is the best person to his younger brother.

He Daming then explained: "Brother, the main reason is that transportation is inconvenient right now. By the time I send the letter, I will be almost home."

He Daqing heard this and did not dwell on this issue any further, but changed the subject directly.

"By the way, Daming, I heard from Zhuzi before that you are already the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. Is that true?"

He Daming nodded affirmatively.

"Brother, Zhuzi did not lie about this matter. I am indeed the deputy commander of the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army. I came back this time to visit my relatives. After the visit, I have to go back to Beihu Province."

He Daqing was thoughtful when he heard what He Daming said.

"Okay, Daming, listen to my advice. You are not a child anymore, almost 3 years old. You should first settle the issue of your significant other. This way, I can also have a way to deal with my parents in the afterlife."

When He Daming heard what He Daqing said, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing that his brother did not reply, He Daqing immediately asked, "You don't want to be single forever, do you?"

He Daming saw that his elder brother had misunderstood, so he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother, you misunderstood. How could I want to be single forever? I was always fighting in the war and had no time.

Now I am free, and my fellow volunteers have promised to introduce me to a girl, so you can rest assured about my marriage."

After hearing what He Daming said, He Daqing stopped talking.
