On Zhao Cheng's side, after confirming that he would accept those retired soldiers, he basically checked the information every day at work and then started assigning tasks.

The formation of a mobile division is not something that can be completed overnight. It is a very complicated matter. Zhao Cheng also played a little trick here.

There are no senior cadres in the troops transferred this time, because the officers above the division level in these troops are basically people who have served for a certain period of time, and many troops would rather keep those division-level officers than merge them into the armed police force.

On the one hand, there are concerns about the armed police force, and on the other hand, it is because these senior officers are not so easy to train.

Zhao Cheng took this opportunity to help his own people get into the right positions. Just like Wei Jun, he became the commander of the Third Frontier Mobile Division in the frontier.

Several of Zhao Cheng's old subordinates were also promoted accordingly. The Wei Army's Third Frontier Mobile Division was further strengthened by Zhao Cheng.

The entire division is basically composed of backbone forces selected from various units. Elite veterans account for more than half of the division, and many of the officers below are selected from Zhao Cheng's former subordinates.

As for where Zhao Cheng got his men, they were all selected from the special forces that were initially trained.

Although these soldiers cannot become special forces, many of them are unable to do so due to physical reasons, not because of their lack of military qualities.

Some of these people were transferred by Zhao Cheng through his connections to some of his own related troops. This time, they were directly transferred to the mobile division of the third brother.

This also made it easier for the Third Guard to command the troops. Being far away in the frontier, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention; it was a place no one wanted to go.

At the Peking Railway Station, as the train stopped, the crowd poured out of the train. After everyone finally got off the train, Pingping opened the compartment and walked out of the train.

This is a soft sleeper compartment, and only two beds have been sold, Pingping and Xiao Suizi.

"Mom, shall we take the bus back directly?" Xiao Suizi asked curiously while carrying her luggage.

Wei Min's injuries healed completely soon after he woke up and was able to eat. There was no point in Ping Ping and the others staying there any longer, as Wei Min had to return to the front line.

So Pingping followed Xiao Suizi back to Peking. However, they did not take a plane, but a train, and the journey made them very tired.

"No need, Ye Juan should be waiting at the exit. We can just take the bus back!" Pingping took a big package and walked outside with it.

Xiao Suizi looked at the package that had just been so heavy in her hands being easily lifted by her mother-in-law, and could only sigh helplessly.

When I arrived at the exit, I saw my own jeep parked on the side of the road.

"Sister Ping!" Ye Juan waved.

"Help me load the things into the car!" Pingping turned and said to Xiao Suizi.

"Sister Ping, didn't you say you would arrive at noon? Why are you so late?" After the three women got in the car, Ye Juan asked curiously while starting the car.

"Don't mention it. Next time something happens, I'll ask Brother Cheng to use his connections to buy plane tickets for me. It's so painful to ride on this train. I can't even stand the soft sleeper, and those who sit in the hard seats have it really hard!" Pingping said, tapping her back.

"By the way, Sister Ping, Wei Nong's girlfriend came home a few days ago. Can you guess whose child it is?" Ye Juan said with a smile.

"Whose?" Xiao Suizi was also full of curiosity.

"Xu Huizhen's family from Zhengyangmen came to our house yesterday morning. The couple wanted to arrange the marriage for Wei Nong and Jing Ping first. But Sister Dan discussed it with Brother Cheng and said they wanted to hear the children's opinions first!" Ye Juan said.

"Third mother, Wei Nong is only nineteen, right? Besides, marriage is not allowed in universities nowadays. Can they get engaged?" Xiao Suizi asked.

"Engagement is fine, but marriage is not. And to be honest, there are still three years left. It's hard to say how far the two of them will go in the end. In my opinion, it's better to let nature take its course!" Ye Juan said.

"It would be fine if everyone was like you! Xu Huizhen is so shrewd. She is afraid that Wei Nong is just playing around with her second daughter, and that Wei Nong will abandon Xu Jingping!" Pingping has had contact with Xu Huizhen many times, so she guessed what the shrewd Xu Huizhen was thinking.

Ye Juan and Xiao Suizi also nodded in agreement. After all, things are different now. The Zhao family is no longer the small director's family it used to be.

When the three of them arrived home, they were stopped by the postman before they even entered the door.

"Aunt Shen, there's a letter for your family!" The postman looked at Pingping and said with a smile.

"Sorry for the trouble, Xiao Li!" Pingping took out some southern Xinjiang specialties and stuffed them directly into the postman's backpack.

"Then you go ahead and do your work, Aunt Shen, I'll continue delivering the mail!" The postman did not refuse. After all, every time this family came to deliver the mail themselves, if they caught up with him, they would give him some small gifts, sometimes a handful of melon seeds and peanuts, sometimes a few candies.

"Mom, who's the letter from? Why didn't you call?" Xiao Suizi asked while picking up things.

"From the Northeast? Could they be from the Zhou family?" Pingping looked at the postmark on the envelope and muttered softly.

After hearing Pingping's words, Ye Juan and Xiao Suizi no longer cared and continued to move things into the yard.

Pingping didn't care, but followed them to carry the things into the yard. If it was really a letter from the Zhou family, Pingping would not read it, and would let Zhao Cheng come back and read it himself.

In the evening, when Zhao Cheng came back, Pingping handed the letter to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng was also curious about who the letter was from. When he opened it, he found that it was indeed a letter from the Zhou family, and the writer was Zhou Bingkun.

The reason for the letter was actually Zhou Rong's problem. After being admitted to Peking University, Zhou Rong was admitted to graduate school and was already 32 years old this year.

But Zhou Rong is 32 years old and has never been married, and she doesn't even have a partner, which makes the Zhou family very anxious.

This time, Zhou Zhigang returned to the Northeast from the southwest to visit his relatives. Seeing that his youngest son had already started a family and his child was old enough to help with household chores, he was worried about his daughter's situation and wanted Zhao Cheng in Peiping to help find a partner for Zhou Rong.

However, Zhou Zhigang didn't know Zhao Cheng's phone number, so he could only ask Zhou Bingkun to write a letter to inform him, which is why this letter was written.

Zhao Cheng put down the letter and thought about the Zhou family. There was no need to worry about Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei, because Hao Dongmei did not fall into the well again and become infertile. The two now have a son named Zhou Cong.

Zhou Bingkun also met Zheng Juan by chance, and eventually married her and gave birth to their son, Zhou Nan. This family can be said to be extremely happy.

Without Zhou Rong's mess, and without Zhou's mother suffering from blood clot paralysis, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

But there was a problem with Zhou Rong. She was in her thirties and still unmarried, which worried everyone in the Zhou family.

This is not the time decades later when there will be many older single women.

Nowadays, if a woman is not married at the age of 25 or 26, she is called an old maid and it is difficult for her to get married, not to mention that Zhou Rong is already in her thirties.

Although Zhou Rong worked in Peking, she would only visit the Zhao family during the holidays to wish Zhao Cheng a happy new year and get together with the Zhao family's children.

And the one with whom Zhou Rong had the best relationship? It turned out to be that girl Wei Hong, which forced Zhao Cheng to pick up the phone and call his eldest daughter who was far away in Shanghai?

"Hello? Who is this?" A little boy's voice came from the phone. Zhao Cheng was happy when he heard it, knowing that it was his little grandson Yang Chao.

"Are you Xiaochao? Guess who I am?" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"I can't hear it! Can you tell me who you are? Who are you looking for?" Yang Chao's innocent words made Zhao Cheng laugh.

"Haha, Xiaochao, I'm your grandpa!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Grandpa? Is it really grandpa?" Yang Chao was happy when he heard Zhao Cheng say it was grandpa. After all, he had been to Peking once, and Zhao Cheng brought the little guy to play with guns with the children at home. This was Yang Chao's first contact with it, and he could never forget it.

"Xiao Chao, who's calling?" a woman's voice asked.

"Mom, the person on the phone said it was grandpa! I don't know if it was the real grandpa, I was just about to ask!" Yang Chao said.

"Hello, Dad, is that you?" Wei Hong picked up the phone and asked quickly.

"Wei Hong, it's me!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh, why are you calling at this time? Haven't you rested yet?" Wei Hong asked.

"I have something to ask you, so I thought of calling you! Is it convenient for you?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Dad, go ahead and do it. It's free for me now. Just let Jianguo wash the dishes!" Wei Hong said nonchalantly.

After hearing Wei Hong's words, Zhao Cheng observed a three-second silence for Yang Jianguo.

"I received a letter today. It was written by your Uncle Zhou, asking Bingkun to write to me. He wanted me to help find out about Zhou Rong's situation. As you know, Zhou Rong is 32 years old this year and has never gotten married. Your Uncle Zhou's family has been very anxious!" Zhao Cheng said.

"Dad, what do you mean?" Wei Hong asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I want you to find out what's going on first, and then I'll ask your mother to find out what's going on. It's really worrying that he's over 30 and still not married." Zhao Cheng said.

"Oh, this is a simple matter. I can just call and ask tomorrow. It's not a big deal. Anyway, Zhou Rong and I talk on the phone occasionally!" Wei Hong said.

"That's fine. You'd better find out more details so that I can explain it clearly to your Uncle Zhou!" Zhao Cheng reminded again.

"I understand!" Wei Hong said.

"Where's Xiaochao? Is he still here? I want to talk to him again!"

"He ran out to play with his grandmother, Dad. I will bring the kids back to see you during the New Year!" Wei Hong said.

"That's fine. I won't say anything for now. Your mother called me to eat, so I won't tell you anything for now!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing, Dad!" Wei Hong hung up the phone.
