The environment and conditions in later generations have been actively improving, but it is still extremely difficult for border guards.
What's more, the soldiers in this period experienced great changes in the times and the turmoil of the country. The country was not that strong yet, the borders were unstable, and wars occurred from time to time. In addition to difficult conditions, they were definitely more dangerous.
Cheng Xiang looked at Zhou Tianlei with even more reverence in his eyes.
"Navy?" she asked.
"Army." Still a simple answer.
"You have been a soldier for so many years, why did you suddenly retire?" Cheng Xiang asked curiously. With Zhou Tianlei's conditions, it should not be a big problem for him to develop in the army for a long time.
Zhou Tianlei paused and said calmly: "Confidential."
When Cheng Xiang heard this, he stopped and stood still. His face was tense, his lips were pursed, and he stared at Zhou Tianlei with slight anger, feeling that he was perfunctory with him.
Zhou Tianlei looked back and was amused by her expression.
He pulled her to his side, couldn't help but pecked her on the mouth, and said sincerely: "It's really a secret."
Cheng wanted to glance at him, but he also understood that this period is very special, the army has more taboos, and it is also the duty of soldiers to strictly observe the confidentiality system.
"Okay, I believe you." Cheng Xiang smiled with a gloomy face, and then said: "I know it's not easy for soldiers. For ordinary people, three years pass by in the blink of an eye, but for soldiers, thousands of days and nights... Night is the most golden time in their lives, and protecting their home and country is really great."
"Defend the home and the country," Zhou Tianlei murmured to himself, "Many people cannot return home because of this sentence."
"I have a comrade who lost his arm in a battle, but still knocked down three enemies, and finally died from excessive blood loss."
"When the company commander of the band of brothers withdrew from the position and returned victoriously, the iron-clad man hugged us and burst into tears. It was not because he was afraid, but because more than 10 of his comrades died on the battlefield and would never come back."
"My company commander, when he died, he had a little daughter at home who he had never met before..." Zhou Tianlei suddenly fell silent. Cheng Xiang listened quietly, feeling heavy in her heart. She also felt Zhou Tianlei's whole body The feeling of sadness.
She held Zhou Tianlei's hand tightly, and Zhou Tianlei looked back at her with a sad smile.
"I remembered something." Cheng Xiang hugged Zhou Tianlei's arm and said, "How can the peaceful years be peaceful? It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you."
Zhou Tianlei was stunned when he heard this, and looked down at the charming woman next to him. At this time, she was bright and charming, and even more awe-inspiring.
He leaned over and pecked her lips again: "That's right."
Cheng Xiang looked at him with a helpless frown. Is this what the old man's emotions look like?
She suddenly thought that it was time to take Zhou Tianlei to meet his parents, so she said, "Zhou Tianlei, let's go meet my grandparents another day."
Zhou Tianlei's eyes lit up, he smiled and said softly: "Okay."
*******
Zhou He arrived at the pig farm early in the morning and saw Chen Tian sleeping in the duty room.
Shake him awake and ask, "Where's Brother Lei?"
Chen Tian, who was getting out of bed, said irritably: "What are you doing? Brother Lei was not on duty yesterday and went home."
He pulled the quilt over his head and muttered: "Are you bothered by disturbing people's sleep so early in the morning?"
Zhou He lifted up his quilt, slapped his butt and said, "The sun is shining on your butt, but you are still sleeping. You are too lazy to forget it."
Chen Tian yelled angrily: "The old sow in the pig house was restless yesterday. The master master and I stayed up until midnight before going to bed. Who is like you? You work around all day long without doing anything serious?"
When Zhou He heard that he was unwilling, he called Chen Tian's nickname and said: "Little Dog Dan, you are reasonable in what you say. When I asked you to run the business, you said you couldn't do it, so I let you stay in the pig farm to take care of the internal affairs. , I will run the business with Brother Lei, and you will be in charge and I will be in charge of the outside. This was agreed upon at the beginning, but why are you not happy now?"
When Chen Tian heard him calling him a bitch, he said irritably: "Gungungun, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Zhou He couldn't stand this guy who was younger than him and was always dissatisfied with him. The Chen family's puppy Dan Dan.
"Don't you want to practice?" Zhou He looked at Chen Tian and shouted.
Chen Tian was angered by his disdainful eyes and jumped out of bed: "Just practice, no one is afraid of whom."
Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Zhou Tianlei walked in with a cold face. He glanced at them and said, "Get out and come back after the fight."
Chen Tian and Zhou He have followed Zhou Tianlei since childhood.
Zhou Tianlei understands their characters better than their parents.
Apart from the lack of emotional intelligence, there is nothing else to choose from.
Work seriously, be willing to endure hardships, and be 100% loyal to the breeding factory and Zhou Tianlei.
Even if Zhou Tianlei is away from home for ten days and a half, he will still feel relieved that the breeding plant is in their hands.
Chen Tian pulled his clothes on and mumbled, "I'm going to see Piggy." He opened the door and went out.
Zhou He gave him a blank look, walked to Zhou Tianlei and said, "Brother Lei, I have found out about that guy."
Zhou Tianlei raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Say."
"The guy's name is Zhang Qingxiang. He is from Shilipu, Zhushan Town. He works in the town's brick kiln factory. People in the village say that he is quite honest and has no criminal record. He is an orphan. When he was five or six years old, he lived in Shilipu and was adopted by a mute. , have been living together, but..." Zhou He paused.
Zhou Tianlei frowned and glared at him.
Zhou He laughed and said, "But when I went to his house, I saw his mute father. He was an old man in his fifties with a stooped figure. He looked a bit like the old man my sister-in-law said."
Zhou Tianlei's pupils shrank when he heard this.
"Brother Lei, this is a crime committed by a father-son gang. What do you think their purpose is?" Zhou He asked cautiously.
Zhou Tianlei pondered for a moment and asked: "That old man, have you inquired about his background?"
Zhou He nodded and said: "He has some skills and is a carpenter. He is asked to do carpentry work in the surrounding villages. After asking about it, he has a good character. He is honest and works sincerely. He never cheats or cheats. He has a good reputation."
"Are they the only two in their family?" Zhou Tianlei asked.
"I heard that he was married before and had a daughter, but his wife was not very peaceful. She ran away with a city man a few years ago and took her daughter with her." Zhou He leaned on the desk and said .
Zhou Tianlei nodded lightly: "Okay, I understand."
After Zhou He left, Zhou Tianlei leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his hands, rubbed his fingers and thought for a long time.
Cheng Xiang is not a stupid person, so there is no need to hide this matter from her. These two people were peeking at her at the same time. Maybe they really have some connection with her, or maybe they can tell her what clues she will have.
*******
Jia Lilixiang is practicing piano with Qing'er. Playing the piano looks charming and elegant. In fact, practicing piano is a very boring thing, especially for a four-year-old Qing'er. One syllable and one music score have to be linked hundreds of times at the fingertips. If you use incorrect force or your shoulders collapse, Cheng Xiang will severely correct you.
After the fresh energy wore off, I gradually started to become unable to sit still after practicing the piano for two hours a day. Today, I was criticized by Cheng Xiang for not using the right force on my fingertips.
At this time, her little face was wrinkled, there were tears in her eyes, her little mouth was pouting, and she was about to cry.
