The officer had been secretly in love with her for ten years and couldn't help but snatch her a

Xu Weilan's heart skipped a beat. "Which... two of you?"

As a military family member, I can't bear to hear this news.

Zhao Chunhua wiped her eyes and said uncomfortably, "Captain Jiang from Sister Chen Yin's family, and Instructor Yao from Sister Qi Lu's family."

Xu Weilan was confused. "Why would the instructor be on a mission?"

"Instructor Yao has strong combat capabilities, and it's something he's good at, so the higher-ups approved his request," Zhao Chunhua said, choking up.

Xu Weilan nodded, "Sister-in-law Chen Yin, it's very uncomfortable, right?"

Zhao Chunhua wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I just passed by and saw her crying like crazy."

Xu Weilan's heart was also in a knot. She wanted to go and see and comfort her husband, but if too many people went, it would only cause her trouble and make her constantly face the reality of her husband's sacrifice.

Zhao Chunhua sighed and left.

Xu Weilan followed Xu Nian with a heavy heart.

Xu Nian's eyes also turned red. "Sister, don't be sad. He sacrificed his life for the country. It's an honor!"

Xu Weilan smiled: "Niannian, are you afraid?"

Xu Nian shook his head firmly, "I'm not afraid!"

Xu Weilan patted her shoulder gently and said, "Women are as good as men."

She thought she would be scared, back off, and not want to join the army.

The two returned home with heavy hearts.

Xu Weilan looked worriedly at the house of Deputy Commander Zhu next door, but saw that the door was closed and there was no sign of Xiao Shijie. She called out, but there was no response.

Battalion Commander Jiang and Instructor Yao died.

How about Deputy Commander Zhu? Is he safe?

Why are Xiao Shijie and He Miao not at home?

He Miao should be off work at this time.

Although Xu Weilan was not at home, Sister Mei still came to clean for her and bring her food as usual.

So the house is clean and has everything we need to eat.

Xu Weilan was worried about the people next door, so she let Xu Nian do as he pleased.

Xu Nian noticed her worry, washed his hands, and cut some fruit for her. "Sister Lan, eat some fruit to replenish your water."

Xu Weilan ate the peach absentmindedly, watching to see what was happening outside.

But until night.

It's getting dark.

Xiao Shijie and He Miao didn't come back either.

Zhao Chunhua came back. She went to the field to pick some vegetables and brought some beans to Xu Weilan. "Sister Xu, these are grown by me. They have worm holes. You can pick them and eat them."

"Thank you, Sister Zhao. Deputy Captain Zhu went on the mission with them. Has there been any news from him? I haven't seen Xiao Shijie either, so I'm a little worried."

Zhao Chunhua looked at the Zhu family's gate and said, "Maybe He Miao took the children to the city for some shopping. This prodigal daughter-in-law loves to eat out and also loves to shop.

Deputy Captain Zhu should be fine."

Xu Weilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Deep down in her heart, she didn't want anything to happen to any of her comrades.

Xu Weilan brought the beans in, and Xu Nian took them and picked them, removing the heads and tails, and then the parts with insect holes, and put them in a basin to soak.

Xu Nian asked, "Sister Lan, how do you eat these beans?"

"You play."

Xu Weilan replied absentmindedly.

Xu Nian saw that her sister was unhappy because someone had sacrificed their life, and she was also worried about her brother-in-law.

Xu Nian’s cooking skills are not as good as Xu Qian’s, but they are also pretty good.

She prepared dinner quickly.

It happened that He Miao and Xiao Shijie came back from outside.

Xu Weilan opened the door and called out, "Sister He, has Shijie eaten yet? Come to my house for dinner."

When He Miao saw Xu Weilan coming back, he smiled and said, "We went out to eat."

As he said this, he looked at Xiao Shijie.

Little Shijie ran to Xu Weilan's yard and said, "Pretty sister, this is the mountain products that grandma sent. They are very fragrant. Please try them."

Xu Weilan took the bag without hesitation and said, "Come in and sit down."

"it is good!"

He Miao entered the room without any hesitation.

Xu Weilan looked at He Miao and felt that he didn't seem to know about the sacrifices of Captain Jiang and Instructor Yao. Maybe they were just out and missed each other.

Xu Weilan introduced Xu Nian to the two of them.

Xu Nian was very outgoing and they became friends in no time.

Xu Nian cooked braised pork with beans, fried a tomato and egg, and served the rice.

He Miao saw that they were going to eat and prepared to leave.

Xu Weilan was afraid that if she went out, someone would talk too much, so she said, "Sister He, sit down and play. I have some parts of the script that I want to discuss with you.

If you don't mind, try my sister's cooking again."

"It's done!"

He Miao was completely rude.

Xiao Shijie looked at his mother speechlessly. How rude of her.

after dinner.

He Miao wanted to go out for a walk, but Xu Weilan said, "Why walk? It's so hot outside, it's better to be cool at home."

Xiao Shijie noticed something was wrong and looked at Xu Weilan, blinking his eyes, as if to say: What's the secret?

Xu Weilan also blinked, asking him to cooperate.

Xiao Shijie cooperated.

He Miao was forced to stay until nine o'clock in the evening before being allowed to go home.

Xu Weilan tried her best but still couldn't resist God's arrangement.

Xu Nian had just finished washing the clothes and Xu Weilan hung them up.

Someone is coming from next door.

Xu Nian looked the female comrade up and down. She looked like she had been crying, with red and swollen eyes, and looked pitiful.

He Miao opened the door and said, "Hey, Sister Qi, why are you here so late?"

Last name Qi?

Xu Nian instantly thought of Qi Lu.

She and Qi Lu didn't have much contact, and they rarely even met.

I've heard Zhao Chunhua mention it a few times.

Qi Lu is a city girl with a job. She looks down on those who come from the countryside. She is usually arrogant and doesn't take anyone seriously.

Although He Miao was a spendthrift, he never looked down on anyone.

As both are city girls, Zhao Chunhua prefers He Miao.

Of course, Qi Lu, who thought she was superior to others, didn't interact much with these old military wives and rural women.

He only interacted with city lesbians of status like He Miao or Xu Moli.

As Xu Weilan was thinking about this, Qi Lu burst into tears, "Sister He, wuuuu..."

As she spoke, she hugged He Miao directly.

He Miao was frightened and asked nervously, "Lulu, don't cry. Tell me who bullied you, I'll go and settle the score with her!"

Qi Lu burst into tears, "Sister He, my Lao Yao died! How could he be so selfish! He didn't have this mission in the first place.

He insisted on getting involved! Now, he's lost his life and there's no coming back! They say his body can't even be found!

"Wu... Sister He... What should I do? How can I live?"

He Miao stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to digest what Qi Lu said.

She has always been slow to react, and suddenly she thought of Xu Weilan's abnormal behavior tonight, so she knew about it. She was afraid that she would worry, so she didn't let her go for a stroll in the family compound, because she was afraid that she would receive this news and feel sad.

He Miao turned his head and looked at Xu Weilan, "Weilan, did you know it a long time ago?"

Xu Weilan nodded. "I just don't want you to have any wild thoughts. Deputy Commander Zhu should be fine."

He Miao's mind was blank. She nodded instinctively, then looked at Qi Lu crying in front of her. She had no time to think about it and kept comforting Qi Lu.

Xu Weilan also wanted to comfort Qi Lu, but she felt that no matter what she said, it would be pale and powerless.
