"Now? You won't attend the summary meeting?!" Zhang Jiadong asked in surprise.
"It's just a small exercise. The summary meeting is no big deal. It's not an exercise for the entire military region. It's just a charge exercise planned by our division." Zhang Lingjun said excitedly: "I'll say hello to them, and I won't participate.
Got it!"
"You finish the work honestly! Just arrive before dinner, don't do anything special for me!" Zhang Jiadong ordered sternly.
"Ouch..." Zhang Lingjun said pleadingly: "It's really no big deal. Dad, just let me go. It's been sixteen years since Jingjing left home. How can I think about such a big deal like his coming back?"
A conference?!”
"That won't work!" Zhang Jiadong said resolutely: "Finish your work, then ask for leave and come back, just like this, I don't have time to talk nonsense to you, and I haven't called your sister and sister yet!"
"Oh..." Zhang Lingjun agreed helplessly: "Okay then, I'll call Haixia first and ask her to book the flight tickets. I'll try to take an early flight and get home before dark."
"Well, let's do that!" Zhang Jiadong hung up the phone directly, and then dialed Aunt Zhang Youbin's number.
Zhang Youbin's aunt is named Zhang Lingfen, who is the eldest in the family, followed by Zhang Youbin's father, uncle, and then sister-in-law.
The situation of Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law is a bit special. She is not Zhang Jiadong's biological daughter, but the posthumous son of an old subordinate of Zhang Jiadong after the Vietnam War.
His old subordinate was born an orphan. From the time when Zhang Jiadong was the regiment leader, he followed Zhang Jiadong all the way until he died on the battlefield in Vietnam. His wife was also introduced to him by Zhang Jiadong back then. Her parents were both dead and she had no relatives.
For no reason, after the two got married, they simply became military dependents.
It wasn't until March 1979, when the Vietnam War was coming to an end, that old subordinate was killed by a stray bullet as the troops were retreating from the front line. At that time, his wife was already more than three months pregnant.
When the child was born, her biological mother unfortunately passed away due to dystocia, and the child also lost all her relatives from the moment she was born, so Zhang Jiadong adopted her without hesitation, without using the seniority of "Ling", but
She was named Zhang Xiaoyang because her biological father's surname was Xiao and her biological mother's surname was Yang. The three characters in her name are all surnames...
The owner of this somewhat strange name is Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law.
Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law is only four years older than him. She has been Zhang Youbin's "commander" since she was a child. She always relies on the fact that she is Zhang Youbin's aunt and bullies Zhang Youbin "brutally" because she is older. Zhang Youbin has not liked playing with her since he was a child.
He couldn't help but because he was always bullied by Zhang Xiaoyang, who was a head taller than him, and also because at that time he always felt that calling a girl who was only four years older than him sister-in-law was really unacceptable.
Although he is not his own biological child, Zhang Xiaoyang has been regarded as the apple of the Zhang family's eyes since he was a child. Not only Zhang Youbin's grandparents, but also Zhang Youbin's parents love Zhang Xiaoyang very much, sometimes even more than they love Zhang Youbin.
This was something Zhang Youbin was very jealous of when she was a child.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoyang has known about her life experience since she was a child. Not only does Zhang Jiadong want her to remember her biological parents, but every time her parents die, Zhang Jiadong always takes her to the grave to pay homage in person, even though he knows that he is not Zhang Jiadong's.
Biological flesh and blood. But Zhang Xiaoyang still treats his two elders as his own biological parents and is extremely filial.
Zhang Xiaoyang is now the only child in the Zhang family who is not in the army. Zhang Jiadong's love for her is different from other children. He never gets angry with Zhang Xiaoyang and never interferes with any of her decisions, so Zhang Xiaoyang
I chose fashion design in college and studied for a master's degree in Paris before returning to China and setting up a fashion studio of my own. Now I am a very famous fashion designer in China.
…
After Zhang Jiadong informed Zhang Youbin of everything, he was undoubtedly very excited and said to Zhang Youbin: "Your aunt is now the head of the military art troupe and is performing in Jinan, but she said she will come back immediately. I believe she will be better than your uncle."
Arrive a little earlier. Your sister-in-law is in Yanjing now. She misses you so much. She was so excited when she heard you were back. When she called just now, she said she would come right away. Her company is in Xicheng, just a few kilometers away.
It’s not too far, you can get there in a while.”
Then, Zhang Jiadong said: "I think it's better not to tell your grandpa about your return for now. That old guy has a bad temper like me. If he knows about your return, don't worry about where he is. You will have to show off when the time comes.
A special charter plane is flying over, and they will definitely want to snatch you away from here. Don't make it difficult for us to even have a reunion dinner. After all, you are also my grandson, his grandson, and you should be ranked behind our Zhang family.
"
Zhang Youbin nodded but said nothing. What was disappointing was that he was still very nervous.
Zhang Youbin's grandma held Zhang Youbin's hand and smiled from ear to ear, and asked with concern: "Jingjing, how did you get here after all these years?"
Zhang Youbin didn't know how to answer. Zhang Jiadong saw the hesitation on Zhang Youbin's face and said nonchalantly: "Your grandma is also a lifelong military dependent. Is there anything you can't say? I also want to know the specific things you did in the Middle East.
, just say it with confidence and boldness."
Zhang Youbin hesitated for a moment and said: "I have received professional training since I joined the Scarlet Mercenary Group. After training for two years, I began to follow other veteran team members to do some tasks that were useful to me. After all, I was the only one in the Scarlet Mercenary Group at the time.
A kid who can take action, they are willing to take me with them and let me learn something..."
Zhang Youbin said eloquently: "My eldest brother took good care of me and taught me almost all military skills step by step. By the time I was twelve years old, I could take on some relatively easy tasks on my own. When I was sixteen, I had a partner.
, he is a Russian named Vasily, and until I returned to China half a year ago, I completed more than 60% of my tasks with him."
Zhang Youbin's grandmother looked at Zhang Youbin in surprise and asked, "Jingjing, have you been working as a mercenary all these years?"
Zhang Youbin nodded and said: "It has always been like this. Most of the tasks I take are related to terrorists in the Middle East. Some are in Europe and the United States, and a very few are in East Asia."
"What Bloody has done over the years is indeed not simple!" Zhang Jiadong said: "I didn't expect that Lei Lei could survive that incident, let alone the mysterious ghost-like mercenary organization in the Middle East, which was actually founded by him.
…”
"Thunder?" Zhang Youbin frowned in confusion and asked, "Are you talking about Brother Lei Ming?"
"That's right!" Zhang Jiadong nodded and told Zhang Youbin completely about Lei Ming's life experience.
Zhang Youbin was very surprised, but he was relieved after a moment. Lei Ming just said that he was a Lebanese Chinese, but he had indeed paid close attention to any situation in China for so many years, and he would not accept any task that had any negative impact on China, and
When Vasily first came to China, he also conveyed the meaning of Lei Ming to Zhang Youbin, that is, he would do his best to help Yin Guoqing and the others complete the task...
The three of them chatted in the living room for a long time about Zhang Youbin's current situation. Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyang arrived anxiously in her Bora.
"Dad, Mom!" Before Zhang Xiaoyang entered the door, he heard her voice coming from outside. With the sound of high heels hitting the wooden floor, a tall and sexy mature beauty jumped into Zhang Youbin's body.
's eyes.
Zhang Youbin was a little surprised. Could this be the "big commander" who bullied him all day long when he was a child and forced him to be a "correspondent"?
At that time, my sister-in-law was really not good-looking. She was just a yellow-haired girl. How come she turned into a beautiful woman after not seeing her for more than ten years?
Zhang Xiaoyang almost immediately saw Zhang Youbin sitting between the two old people. At that moment, his jaw almost dropped. You must know that Zhang Youbin's father has always been Zhang Xiaoyang's idol, and Zhang Youbin is simply the reincarnation of his elder brother.
Version, it looks like! It’s so similar.
"You...are you just Jingjing?" Zhang Xiaoyang stopped in front of several people, pointed at Zhang Youbin and asked in surprise.
Zhang Youbin stood up awkwardly. The woman in front of him was already a head shorter than him, but her status had not changed at all. Zhang Youbin reluctantly shouted: "Sister-in-law..."
The beautiful lady burst into tears instantly, ran over to face Zhang Youbin, looked at her carefully for a long time and then said excitedly: "You are really Jingjing! My God, you look exactly like my eldest brother!"
"Haha." Zhang Youbin laughed awkwardly. Although the beauty is eye-catching, Zhang Youbin felt very depressed when he thought that she was a few years older than him, but she called his grandfather daddy and called his father brother.
The beautiful woman caressed her chest in disbelief and asked: "Jingjing, where have you been all these years? My sister-in-law misses you so much. She even dreamed of you and her eldest brother and sister-in-law a few days ago.
Come on, you really showed up suddenly."
Then, she still couldn't believe this reality, so she looked at her parents and asked, "Mom and Dad, am I dreaming again? Have I really come back quietly?"
"Maotou, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, this is not a dream, this is Jingjing." Zhang Youbin's grandma said happily.
"Oh my God, it's like a dream. When I sent him and his elder brother and sister-in-law on the plane, he was still a sloppy little kid with a snotty nose all day long, and now he has grown into a man..." Zhang Xiaoyang sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Youbin's face was a little red. This sister-in-law had been his nemesis since he was a child. He still remembered that yellow-haired girl who cried in a mess before getting on the plane. At that time, he was very happy because he got rid of her clutches.
