Tao Junle was also very depressed when he learned that Tong Jia's transfer failed.

However, Sister Zhao has the final say on personnel transfers. Since the overall situation has been decided, he doesn't want Tong Jia to continue to be unhappy about this matter.

He picked up the two candies, tore off the simple candy wrapper, and held one in each hand.

He stuffed one piece into Tong Jia's mouth and one piece into his own mouth.

Tong Jia was suddenly stuffed with a piece of candy in her mouth, and she completely broke away from her thoughts and looked at Tao Junle.

Tao Junle used sign language to say: "Don't worry about this anymore. When Uncle Lin was around, he often said, 'Man proposes, God disposes.'"

You have tried your best to deal with things that have not happened yet, but we are insignificant and have no say in front of the big boss.

Maybe some things are destined to happen, just like you don’t belong to this world originally, but you come here by chance.

You can change a person's original destiny, but it is difficult to change the destiny of everyone or most of the people.

If you have tried and tried your best, there is no need to feel regret or remorse.

Anyway, no matter what, we all know that the final result is good, right?

This candy is quite delicious. You take one, I take one, and we can both share in the joy.

Tong Jia smiled and said, "I originally wanted you to eat the candy after dinner, but now you're eating the candy first. Are you still going to eat the food?"

Tao Junle gestured: "Eat, but not now. Now... Sister, come with me to exercise first."

After saying that, he pulled Tong Jia out of the cave and started running around the mountain.

After running two laps, Tong Jia, exhausted and out of breath, asked, "Why did you suddenly think of taking me running?"

Tao Junle gestured: {When we were in Tianjin, didn’t you say that you should exercise every day?

You were doing well at the beginning, but after coming to the Soviet area, you were so busy every day, sometimes you didn't even have time to sleep. I really couldn't bear it, so I never urged you.

It’s no use now. If I continue to be soft-hearted towards you, it would be cruel to your future.

Although I have not experienced it, from what I read in books about snow-capped mountains, grasslands, Jinsha River, Dadu River and so on, I don’t think they are that easy.

Starting today, I will supervise you to exercise every day, and you have to practice those self-defense skills you learned before.

Otherwise, when you really encounter danger, you will be in trouble.

"Okay, okay, okay. Now that we've finished running, can we go eat something?" Tong Jia wasn't hungry originally, but now she felt a little hungry after running.

As he started to walk into the cave, he was stopped by Tao Junle.

Although he didn't grow much taller over the past year, his strength has definitely increased a lot, and the muscles in his arms are already very obvious.

Now Tong Jia was being held by him and couldn't move at all.

Knowing that struggling was pointless, Tong Jia simply saved her energy and asked, "Didn't you finish running? Why aren't you allowed to eat?"

Tao Junle gestured: "You forgot, you also need to practice self-defense."

Tong Jia had no choice but to be passively dragged by Tao Junle to the open space in front of the cave, where he seriously practiced the self-defense skills he had learned in the mountains.

An hour later, Tong Jia, who was already exhausted and out of breath, was allowed to enter the cave.

As she stuffed food into her mouth, she said, "It seems like I've been slacking off for too long. When I first started practicing, I didn't feel anything, but this time I feel like I can barely lift my arms."

Tao Junle picked up some food for Tong Jia, and after they finished eating, he followed Tong Jia into the RV to read for a while.

Before they returned to their dormitories, he gestured to Tong Jia: "We'll continue tomorrow."

Although she was very tired, Tong Jia knew that in order not to be held back in future long-distance marches and struggles, she had to exercise her physical strength.

After another year in the Soviet area, the other members of the art and literature propaganda team, under the leadership of Tong Jia and Tao Junle, spontaneously began to exercise and be ready to fight at any time.

Tong Jia also taught the girls in her dormitory to put a few more cloth bags on their belts, some of which contained private items that women might need during those days, and some of which contained preserved food, with fried noodles and sugar being the most suitable.

She hopes these things can save lives at critical moments.

Just when Tong Jia and Tao Junle were preparing to infiltrate some things in the Soviet area quietly, Sister Zhao found Tong Jia.

In the past, no matter what Sister Zhao talked about with Tong Jia, she always had a smile on her face. Even when Tong Jia failed to get a transfer last time, Sister Zhao was still smiling when she saw Tong Jia off.

But this time when she talked to Tong Jia about something, her expression was very serious.

After Tong Jia sat down opposite her desk, she didn't know how to start the conversation, so she stood up and paced back and forth in the office.

Looking at Tong Jia, who had walked back and forth dozens of times in Sister Zhao's small office, he felt that even if he closed his eyes, he could see a small black dot jumping back and forth in front of his eyes.

Not wanting to endure this torture any longer, she broke the awkwardness directly.

She asked speculatively, "Sister Zhao, you asked me to come here because you have some work arrangements to tell me about? A difficult task? Hard to complete?"

Upon hearing this, Sister Zhao stopped and looked at Tong Jia for a long time before walking back to her desk.

She opened the drawer on the side of her desk, took out a brown paper bag and handed it to Tong Jia.

"Take a look at what's inside first." After saying that, Sister Zhao sat down in her chair.

In the brown paper bag was some investigative information that Tong Jia had collected about her parents' family. To be more precise, it was about Rong Xintong's parents' family.

Rong Xintong's older brother Rong Xinhua went to study in Fuso. After returning, he became a comprador of a foreign company, but in fact he was helping Fuso to infringe on the interests of China.

Rong Xintong's older sister Rong Xinzi married Rong Xinhua's classmate Diao Yongting. Now the couple are both in Shanghai and have a lot of contact with Fuso.

Rong Xintong's younger brother Rong Xinsong ran away from home resolutely because he was disgusted by his brother and sister's choice to betray the country. All we know is that he joined the army, but it is not known which unit he is in yet.

Rong Xintong's younger sister Rong Xinzhi is currently unmarried and has been brought to Shanghai by Rong Xinzi. It is very likely that her marriage will be used to pursue a career in politics.

Rong Xintong's father regretted sending his eldest son to study abroad, and because of his poor judgment of people, he married his second daughter to a traitor. He could not accept the blow of his youngest son running away from home, and died of anger.

Rong Xintong's mother could not take care of the affairs between her children. She spent all her time in seclusion and now her health was almost at its limit. She planned to call all her children back and divide the property equally.

After seeing the end, Tong Jia felt that if she didn't make a grief-stricken expression, she would seem a bit too ungrateful.

But her emotions were only half brewing, and the other half was beaten back by what Sister Zhao said next.

Sister Zhao said: "This information was found out by Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang...that is Yang Jixia, who is currently carrying out a mission in the White Area. He is currently a wealthy businessman outside the border.

It has certain connections with Fuso and the current white area government.

The location of your brother-in-law, or the information he can obtain, is the key factor in whether Xiao Yang can complete this mission.

Now Xiao Yang has established a relationship with your eldest brother-in-law by using your name.

Everything was going well, but your mother's last wish was to see all her children divide the property equally.

We're still trying to find your brother. It's understandable that he hasn't shown up, but you...

Xiao Yang has been on good terms with Diao Yongting for a long time. If he doesn't take you back, Diao Yongting will doubt his identity.

So... now the organization wants to send you to Jiangcheng."

"Going to Jiangcheng? Why are we going to Jiangcheng?" Tong Jia asked in confusion.

Sister Zhao said: "Rong Xinzi has said many times before that he wants to meet you. Xiao Yang thought it would be better not to disturb you as much as possible, so he said that you were studying at a university in Jiangcheng.

Now that the words have been spoken, we will naturally send you to Jiangcheng.

Whether Xiao Yang picks you up at Jiangcheng University or Diao Yongting sends someone to pick you up from Jiangcheng University, the most important thing right now is to get you to Jiangcheng first."

Tong Jia instinctively asked, "If I go to Jiangcheng, what about Sister Yuan?"

Sister Zhao was stunned for a moment, then she laughed.

She asked, "What does your going to Jiangcheng have to do with Xiao Yuan?"

Tong Jia said: "She and Yang Jixia are not... I heard last year that she got married, wasn't it Yang Jixia?"

Sister Zhao shook her head, her tone somewhat downcast, and said, "It's not about Xiao Yang. If it's about Xiao Yang... well... let's not talk about her. She has nothing to do with this mission."

Tong Jia was even more confused by this. Thinking back to when she applied for a transfer last year and how Sister Zhao had opposed it, she boldly asked, "Sister Zhao, since Sister Yuan wasn't going to marry Yang Jixia, why didn't you approve my transfer to the Northwest Base last year?"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Tong Jia, do you think I didn't approve your going to the Northwest Base last year because I was afraid you would disrupt my niece's happiness?

You...you...you...we've been together for quite some time. Am I such a selfish person in your eyes? "Sister Zhao was so angry at Tong Jia's words that she laughed.

Tong Jia quickly stood up and helped Sister Zhao with her back. After Sister Zhao recovered, she stammered and explained, "It's mainly because the timing was so coincidental. It's hard for me not to think about that."

Sister Zhao sighed and said, "Ah... I was really in a bad mood at that time.

It was indeed because of Xiao Yuan's marriage that she was in a bad mood. The person she married was not her lover, but the person who guided her on the road to revolution and her savior on the way to the Northwest Base.

Their union has nothing to do with love, it's more about sharing the same ideals and being committed to each other.

I feel sorry for Xiao Yuan. Her lover is obviously on the same path as her, so why...

Oh, it’s all in the past, I won’t talk about it anymore.

The reason why we didn't approve you to go to the Northwest Base Area had nothing to do with them. The main reason was that if you left, we would lose the backbone of our art and literature propaganda team.

Tell me, can I let you go?"

"Then why can I leave now?" Tong Jia asked.

Sister Zhao said, "Hasn't Xiao Zhang gotten the hang of it already? There are several other young comrades out there, and I think they'll be ready soon too.

If it weren't for Xiao Yang's incident, would I approve your transfer application now?"

Tong Jia smiled apologetically and said, "Big sister, dear big sister, I know that I was judging others by my own standards. If you are kind enough to forgive my mistakes, please don't hold it against me."

As he said this, he clasped his hands together to express his sincerity in his apology.

Sister Zhao slapped Tong Jia's hands away and said unhappily, "If I were really angry with you little comrades, I would have died of anger a long time ago."

Tong Jia gave Sister Zhao a thumbs-up and said, "Sister, you're as magnanimous as a prime minister! You're so generous!"

Sister Zhao slapped Tong Jia's hand away again and said in her usual tone, "Okay, stop flattering me here.

Please remember the information here quickly. This information cannot leave my office, and you cannot mention this matter to anyone when you go out.

Well...except Lele.

This time, I didn't want you to take Lele with you, but it's really difficult to mobilize the staff here, and it's hard to explain no matter who I send.

You can't just say that your classmates in Jiangcheng are homeless and have to follow you to Shanghai.

At most, we can send one comrade to accompany you on this mission. It's still a little unsafe for just the two of you.

I've watched Lele's training over the past few days, and I think having him around might be more helpful than others when necessary."

Tong Jia nodded. After spending the past few years with Tao Junle, the two of them were really like family and could not live without each other.

It would be better if they didn't have to separate. It just so happened that if she had the chance, she would also like to go back to the Yang family to visit.

Let’s see if there are any sequelae left after Yang’s eldest sister-in-law and Yang Jiqiu were sprinkled with forgetfulness powder.

This is what she has always wanted to know since she knew Pei Yingxue had lost her memory.

After Tong Jia memorized all the pieces of paper in the brown paper bag, she followed Sister Zhao to the dormitory of the nursery.

Here, Tong Jia saw a man with a kind face, his hair neatly tied up and fixed behind his head with branches, he was wearing a navy blue slanted-collar jacket, black trousers and black cloth shoes.

Although she is dressed simply, she gives people a very capable feeling.

Sister Zhao introduced Tong Jia, "This is Old Tian. You can call her Aunt Tian from now on. She used to work as a liaison officer. She knows some martial arts and can also shoot a gun."

Before you arrived in Shanghai, you were nominally the master and she was the servant.

But in fact, she is the leader and all your actions need to be arranged by her.

After arriving in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, because the specific situation changes rapidly, she, as a servant, cannot participate in many things, and the initiative of the action becomes you.

Of course, this is when Comrade Xiao Yang is not around.

As long as Comrade Xiao Yang is here, all your actions must be approved by Comrade Xiao Yang before they can be carried out. Do you understand?"

Tong Jia nodded and said, "I understand. From now until we reach Jiangcheng, no, before we reach Shanghai, Lele and I must obey Tian Ma. Once we arrive in Shanghai, our identities will change, but everything will still be subject to Yang Jixia, right?"

Sister Zhao patted Tong Jia on the shoulder and said, "This mission is very dangerous, Comrade Tong Jia. I hope you can take it seriously. Don't assume that just because the people you're facing are your relatives, they will show you mercy."

Regarding your identity..."

"Sister Zhao, don't worry about this. I won't show mercy just because they are my relatives." Tong Jia promised.

So, that afternoon, Tong Jia packed up her things and set off with Tao Junle and Tian Ma, who had received the funds for this activity, to Jiangcheng to carry out the task of assisting Yang Jixia.
