He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Leyou asked a familiar teammate for directions to the commander and then ran straight there.

After the two team members finished their work, they followed them into the commander's office.

"Commander, I've come to report to you!"

"Please sit down first, and tell me slowly."

After sitting down, Leyou took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

"Hmph, you learned all this after spending a few years fighting the Japanese?"

"Forehead",

Leyou awkwardly withdrew her hand.

He then told the commander about his meritorious service in joining the expeditionary force, the two medals he had been awarded, and his upcoming studies at the Chengdu Military Academy.

After listening, the commander looked at Leyou and pondered for a while before saying:

How is your master doing lately?

"Thank you for your concern, Commander. My master is doing well, it's just that his hair is getting increasingly gray."

"Ah, back when he fought alongside your master, how spirited and dashing he and his four senior brothers were!"

Unfortunately, three Taoist priests perished on their way here, and four more later died in Qujiang. Your master's family was truly loyal and heroic!

"You're not bad either. Your master made the name Flying Centipede famous, but your name, Little Mengchang, is even more renowned than your master's!"

"The Commander flatters me, haha!"

"Hmph! Still laughing? Do you even remember when you joined the brigade?"

“司令我是42年被师父所救加入支队，43年12月初加入总队，现在为止是45年1月底了。”

"Yes, the Chinese New Year is just over two weeks away, and you'll be 18 soon. Have you ever thought about joining the Party?"

"Ah, back in Ji'an Township, a friend of my dad's surnamed Zhao said he would introduce me to someone."

My dad and his family were also Party members, but they lost contact afterward because they were busy traveling around.

"Surname Zhao? Could it be him?!"

"Okay. I'll ask later, and if it's correct, I'll have him come find you."

"Commander, then I'll go to Chengdu then..."

“Your parents are members of our Party, and you and your mentor are also members of the organization. Now you are also going to join the Party. No matter where you go, you will always be a member of our Party.”

"Yes, Commander, I'll head back now."

"Well, go ahead"

On her way home, Leyou would stop at any store or vegetable stall she saw and buy something.

Then he threw most of it into the space, and with a few in his hand, he quickly returned to the resettlement point.

"Senior brother, you're finally back! We were so worried about you!"

……

"Humph"

Huang Ying turned her head away in a huff and replied.

Seeing this, Leyou helplessly explained the situation to his master, then sat down to eat the food he had bought and invited everyone to eat together.

"My disciple, I have something to tell you. I'm not discussing it with you, I'm just informing you!"

……

"Alright, my disciple, the New Year is just around the corner. Your master has also arranged a marriage for you. You should get married at the same time, so it will be a double celebration!"

"Oh, a marriage? With whom?"

Leyou looked around blankly and saw Huang Ying and Mulan Hua's slightly angry faces, as well as Jingxian, who was clutching the hem of her clothes with her head down.

"No way, could Master be talking about Jingxian...?"

"Jingxian, do you agree?"

"Yes, it's entirely up to you, sir."

Jingxian stammered as she spoke.

……

……

After sitting at the courtyard gate for a while, Leyou went to find someone to rent a house.

After looking at several courtyard houses, Leyou took a liking to one, made an appointment with the owner, and paid half a percent higher than the market price to rent it for a month.

After hurrying home, I told my master about renting a room and then went to my room to rest.

After all, other students share a room with several other students, so I can't be special and get a small courtyard all to myself.

Given that we're getting married soon, it's best to find a new place to live; otherwise, we'll have no one to complain about if we attract gossip.

Am I supposed to go around telling everyone how I killed the enemy and how I protected you?

……

……

The next morning,

Leyou stretched lazily, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and was about to open the door.

Suddenly noticing the objects in the room, he realized he wasn't in his own room. He looked around but didn't see Jingxian. Was she still awake? Or had she gotten up early to cook?

Leyou secretly pushed open the door, peeked out and looked around. Finding no one there, she immediately rushed out and ran towards her room.
