Su Mo was startled, thinking of Luo Yuan who was wanted by the whole county, and quickly asked Cao Yatou about the situation.
Cao Yatou has followed her brother in the mountains since she was a child. She is very familiar with the mountains in this area, so she can hide in the mountains for several months without being discovered.
Half a month before it snowed, she accidentally discovered that there were several men hiding on another mountain.
"Auntie, those people have very powerful things in their hands. They are short and can kill a roe deer from a distance." Cao Yatou said and compared.
Su Mo took a look and knew it was a pistol equipped with a silencer.
These days, the rural militia all issue long guns, and the sound is very loud. You have never seen a pistol before, so it is normal that you can't recognize it.
Su Mo confirmed the approximate location with Cao Yatou again, and said to her: "You should stay in the cowshed during this period and don't go out. It's not safe outside."
The snow had been getting smaller these days, and Su Mo was afraid that if she ran around again, she would be in trouble if she ran into that group of criminals.
The little girl nodded. If those people hadn't beaten her all the time, she wouldn't have liked going to the mountains. It was very scary at night. Everyone is kind to her here, and she will continue to live here even if it doesn't snow.
Su Mo reminded Teacher Gu a few more words, told Captain Li about the situation, and then hurried back to the Lujiacun brigade to make a phone call.
Su Mo first called Lu Changzheng and told him the matter, and then called Geng Changqing to report the situation. As for how to deploy it, it's up to them to discuss it.
When Su Mo called, Lu Baoguo and Lu Qing'an were also there, and Su Mo didn't avoid them. When they heard this, they both felt bald.
What's going on these two years? Why do people always come with guns on the mountain? Doesn’t this allow the people to live in peace of mind?
The two quickly called in the militia captain Lu Baojia and asked him to arrange for people to patrol on the way down the mountain every day.
We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of the worst. We are afraid that when those people are surrounded and suppressed, they will come down from the mountains and rush into the village to capture people as hostages.
The Lu Bao family is also miserable. In this terrible weather, they still have to go out on patrol, which is really life-threatening. But there's nothing you can do about it, it's your responsibility.
Fortunately, after two days, the heavy snow that had been falling for almost half a month finally stopped, and the long-lost sunshine appeared in the sky.
Everyone cheered. If it continues, there will be a serious snowstorm. Listening to the radio, many buses and trains in the north have been suspended.
Each brigade quickly organized people to shovel the snow and clear the road first.
The factories that had been shut down began to resume operations one after another, and Su Mo and Lu Xiaolan also went back to work in the commune.
******
At the end of December, Lu Changzheng returned home, went to the county to buy a lot of meat, and cooked it at the Lu family's house. The whole family had an early reunion dinner.
During the meal, Lu Changzheng toasted to his two brothers, "Big brother and second brother, I'm leaving tomorrow. Mom, dad, and me, I have to work hard for you to look after me more."
"Don't worry!" the brothers responded at the same time.
When the third child was at home, he didn't think much of it. Now that he was leaving, he suddenly felt reluctant to leave her. I always feel like the third child is not here, and my waist is not that strong anymore.
"And Xiaolan, she is the only sister in the family. The two brothers should keep an eye on her and don't let others bully her."
Su Mo also told Lu Changzheng about gangsters harassing Lu Xiaolan before. Lu Changzheng also took Lu Xingjun and Lu Weiguo to put sacks on people in the middle of the night. After all, he is an officer, and if he hits a civilian, he will easily be reported. But the two of them are different. If a civilian hits a civilian, it's fine.
"The successor commander of the army is an old comrade of mine for many years. If there is anything you can't solve at home, you can call him." Lu Changzheng told Lu Qing'an.
Lu Qingan nodded, his eyes a little moist.
The third child has to be transferred to a place as far away as Yangcheng. He doesn't know when he will be able to come back from all over the world. It will be difficult for the family to get together like this.
"When my place is stable and the work is arranged, I will take Momo and the children over." Lu Changzheng said.
"We are so far apart, and the children are still so young. Why don't we join the army two years later? How hard it will be for Xiao Mo to raise two children by herself." Li Yue'e was very reluctant to give up.
The third child wants to move forward, and she can't stop him. She liked the two children and Xiao Mo very much. Thinking that they might not be able to see each other for several years in the future, Li Yue'e felt very upset.
"Sooner or later, it will pass. Go there early and adapt early." Lu Changzheng said. He wished that his wife would go there with him. There was no way he could wait for two years.
Li Yue'e hugged Lele with tears streaming down her face, and her tone was a bit complaining, "Can't you wait a few years before transferring? This army is so good at home. No one else can ask for it, so you have to leave."
Isn’t it the same wherever you serve as a soldier? Don't run to the south.
It would have been better if that place had been there, and they had only been back for three or two days. Even if they didn't come back, she missed her grandchildren, so she gritted her teeth and dared to take the train to see them by herself.
This is the farthest south. I heard it would take ten days to go there. She is old, how could she travel so far?
The journey is long and takes a long time. Young people are afraid of the hassle, so fewer of them will come back.
Li Yue'e felt sad when she thought that she might never see him again in the future, and she couldn't help but cry.
"Why are you crying? The man has his ambitions in all directions. How can this good unit always have a place for you? If you get the chance, you will be transferred as soon as possible. This is a good thing." Lu Qing'an said quickly.
At first, he didn't understand why Lu Changzheng was doing such a good job and was transferred to a place so far south without being promoted. Later, when Lu Boming explained it to him, he realized that there were differences between troops.
All we can say is that his third son has a bright future ahead of him.
"Third brother, dad wishes you a bright future." Lu Qing'an had a drink with Lu Changzheng, "After you are transferred, work hard and try to achieve some results as soon as possible. When you come back with meritorious service, dad will set off firecrackers for you."
"Okay!" Lu Changzheng raised his head and drank the wine.
When my father stops being Party Secretary, if they are willing, they can take all the old people to the south for the winter.
A meal that was both lively and sad.
The liveliest thing is the children. They don't know how to say goodbye. They are naturally happy when they have good food to eat. It's the adults who are sad. They all know that after Lu Changzheng's transfer, it will be difficult for them to meet each other in the future.
Before this, Lu Changzheng would only go home once every two or three years, and he didn't think much of it. Suddenly, he saw too many people in a year. It was sad to think that we would only see each other again in a few years.
After dinner, Lu Changzheng went to Lu Boming's room again. The two of them chatted alone for a long time before returning home.
