Zheng Zhendong saw that the time had reached 5:30, so he left the compound and went to get off work with Shazhu in the alley.
Not long after waiting, I saw Shazhu walking towards this side.
Zheng Zhendong hurriedly waved to Shazhu, motioning for him to come over and tell him something.
Silly Zhu quickly walked up to Zheng Zhendong and asked.
"Brother, do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
Zheng Zhendong pulled Shazhu to the corner and then spoke.
"Brother Zhuzi, the reason why I called you here is because I have something to tell you!"
Silly Zhu heard that Zheng Zhendong wanted to see him for something, so he hurriedly patted his chest and said.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. Based on our friendship, I will try my best to help you!"
Seeing that Sha Zhu was so generous, Zheng Zhendong became more determined to help Sha Zhu, so he spoke.
"Brother Zhuzi, listen to me. I saw Uncle He and a girl together this afternoon. It seems that the relationship is unusual.
I waited for Uncle He to come back this afternoon, chatted with him for a few words, and determined that he was Uncle He's new partner.
I'm not telling you this just because Uncle He is looking for a partner.
But according to Uncle He, this woman's family situation is not very good. She has two sons.
In the future, after Uncle He marries her, whether he goes there or comes to the courtyard, life in your family will be a little difficult! What do you think, Brother Zhuzhu?"
After hearing Zheng Zhendong's words, Shazhu was stunned for a long time before he spoke.
"Brother, wait a minute, my mind is a little confused now, let me think about this carefully!"
Seeing Sha Zhu standing there with a frown on his face and his mood ups and downs, Zheng Zhendong knew that Sha Zhu was not at peace in his heart.
After a while, the sky became darker and darker. At this time, Shazhu, as if he had made a decision, gritted his teeth and said.
"Brother, thank you for telling me this situation, otherwise I would still be in the dark!
Let me go home first and ask my dad what he thinks? Then we’ll talk about it!"
After saying this, Sha Zhu was about to return to the courtyard. Zheng Zhendong grabbed him and spoke.
"Brother Zhuzi, don't worry first, I mean, we are not against Uncle He finding a partner.
After all, Uncle He is not very old yet, and he still has a long life ahead of him, and he really needs someone who knows both cold and hot to accompany him.
But you can't just pick up the food in the basket, the conditions of the person you found this time are too bad!
You have two sons at home, and they are not from the local area. Whether they come to the hospital or to Baoding in the future, your family’s life will not be easy!
If this woman brings two children and marries into our courtyard, your house will not be enough to live in!
Uncle He will go to Baoding with you. You and Yuyu probably can’t go with him. How will you two live by then?
These are all questions. Do you think what I said makes sense? Brother Zhuzhu!"
Hearing that Zheng Zhendong had thought so much about his family, Shazhu was very moved and took Zheng Zhendong's hand and said.
"Brother, from now on, you are my biological brother. Don't say anything anymore. We will meet in the future!"
Zheng Zhendong did not take Si Zhu's words to heart, because Zheng Zhendong's purpose of doing this was just to do good deeds and not to worry about the future.
The two talked for a while and then walked towards the courtyard together.
After we parted ways in the middle courtyard, we each went home, where Zheng's mother was busy cooking.
…
At this time, a round of artillery battle had just ended on the peninsula battlefield.
The firelight soaring into the sky dyed the sunset in the western sky even redder.
Zheng Zhenguo was organizing the entire platoon of soldiers to climb out of the foxholes.
After the bombardment is over, the ugly army on the opposite side is about to attack, so the soldiers must prepare for battle.
Zheng Zhenguo passed through the gap in the bunker and saw several tanks in front, followed by Chou soldiers, charging towards this position.
At the front of our army's tunnel fortifications, the heavy machine guns opened fire first, followed by all kinds of firearms.
Along with the fire suppression, the tank demolition team used anti-tank grenades and blasting tubes to blast enemy tanks.
…
The small-scale fighting continued until nightfall. Seeing that the enemy could not break through our defense line, they ended their attack.
Zheng Zhenguo sat in the tunnel. After taking a short rest, he counted the number of people in the entire platoon and then reported to the company commander.
After listening to this, the company commander sighed and said.
"Zhenguo, after a small battle, we lost one-fifth of our troops. The firepower of these ugly Japanese devils is so fierce!"
Hearing what the company commander said, Zheng Zhenguo sighed helplessly and said.
"Who says it isn't? I still remember that when we first arrived on the battlefield, many soldiers were blinded by enemy fire.
We have never seen such strong firepower coverage in the country before, whether it was fighting against Chiang Kai-shek's army or suppressing bandits in the southwest.
The artillery fire of this stupid ugly army is fierce, as if the cannonballs are free of charge, they keep hitting here!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other, and then Zheng Zhenguo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
First he gave one to the company commander, then he got one himself, and then he took out matches and lit them for each of them.
The two of them sat in the tunnel and slowly smoked.
At this time, the company commander suddenly remembered that Zheng Zhenguo asked him to inquire about his second brother Zheng Zhenchuan, so he spoke.
"Zhenguo, you asked me to ask you before to get some clues. Your brother Zhenchuan has been doing well recently. He has made several achievements and even his superiors have praised him. Don't worry!"
Zheng Zhenguo was even more worried after hearing what the company commander said, because he knew that it would not be so easy to perform meritorious service on the battlefield.
They are all people who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are no longer new recruits. They know that important battles must take place if they want to make meritorious deeds.
However, I am somewhat relieved that the second brother's meritorious service shows that he has not dishonored the glory of the Zheng family.
After all, starting from my grandfather, the glory earned by the Zheng family through three generations of hard work is hard-won and cannot be tarnished.
At this time, Zheng Zhenguo's thoughts were racing, first he thought of his second brother Zhenchuan, then he thought of his family in the capital, and finally he thought of his fiancée Qin Huairu.
At this moment, the cooking squad delivered the meals to the battlefield, and the company commander called on everyone to eat quickly.
To be honest, the food was really not that good. The new compressed biscuits not only tasted bad, but were also so hard that some soldiers lost their front teeth.
Zheng Zhenguo asked a military doctor about this matter. Doctor Ju said it was because our soldiers had loose teeth due to long-term malnutrition. During war emergencies, they were too eager to eat and lost their teeth.
…
After eating some compressed biscuits, baked potatoes, and drinking some hot water, Zheng Zhenguo finished his dinner.
On the peninsula battlefield in winter, it is even colder at night. The cold current from Siberia blows across the 38th Parallel.
The soldiers wore thin winter clothes and still stuck to their respective posts. Many soldiers suffered from frostbite as a result, and the number of troops was reduced a lot.
However, the morale of the soldiers was still high, and they shouted one after another that they would fight across the 38th parallel and capture the enemy's capital Seoul.
We must drive the United Nations forces led by Chou State to the sea and let them have a taste of the power of our army.
How majestic! We, the People’s Volunteer Army, are as old as the sky!
Mighty! This group of the cutest people, it is because of you that future generations will have peace for decades, and your great achievements will be immortal forever!
