Yanjin Military Command Station, Telecommunications Section.
As soon as the door rang, Zheng Guangrong pushed in and startled Zhang Nina who was on the phone. She said to the phone: "I have something to do here, I will call you later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Nina said, "Why did you come in without knocking?"
"Do I still need to knock on the door? Eat your favorite roasted chestnuts while they're hot." Zheng Guangrong put a paper bag on the table.
Zhang Nina said with a cold face: "This is not what it looks like when others see it at home!"
Zheng Guangrong said disapprovingly: "We are husband and wife, what are you afraid of when you see us?"
Zhang Nina said with an expression of resentment, "You are really helpless, Adou! You have been in the military for so many years, don't you even know how to avoid suspicion?"
Zheng Guangrong scratched his head and said, "I'll pay attention next time."
Zhang Nina peeled a chestnut and put it in her mouth and said, "Where did you buy it?"
"On the street."
"What are you doing out during work hours?"
"I have nothing to do at noon, I went out for a walk..."
"Hey, let me tell you what's good about you!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"You are the leader of the action team and you always leave your post without permission. What if Captain Jiang comes to see you for something?"
"...It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"Why not? The last time we inspected Li Yuansheng of the security brigade, Captain Jiang was going to take you there to give you a chance to make meritorious service and receive awards. Tell me, why didn't he take you there?"
"That day... my daughter called and said she wanted to eat Siyuanxiang's black sesame crispy fruit. I thought it would be fine anyway, so I bought it and sent it back to her..."
"Can a child's words make you put down your business?"
"She has had a fever for two days and doesn't want to eat anything. It's not like you don't know!"
"If there is a servant at home, she will naturally take care of her. As a grown man, you can't think about which one is heavier and which one is lighter!"
"In my heart, my daughter is the most important!"
Zhang Nina leaned back on the chair and said helplessly: "If you put it like that, I seem to be a stepmother!"
The couple was speechless for a moment, remaining silent without looking at each other.
Zheng Guangrong was the first to compromise and said: "Nina, don't be angry, I was wrong and I will definitely change it in the future!"
After hearing these words, Zhang Nina's face finally saw a little sunshine, and she said: "I'm trying to find a way through my connections to get you into the action team. What's the purpose? Isn't it for your future? You're better off,
You don’t know how to cherish opportunities at all!”
Zheng Guangrong nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know."
"Now that you know it, you should take the initiative to seize the opportunity. You can't always wait for the opportunity to find you!"
"…What do you mean?"
"Oh, why was I so obsessed with lard in the first place that I married such a bad guy like you!"
"..."
"Observe the officer's words and deeds more. If he likes to smoke, you should always have matches in your pocket. If he likes women, you can help match him! Can you understand what I say?"
"I know."
"I don't know if I really understand or not...you can go out, I want to rest for a while."
Zheng Guangrong chuckled and said, "It's better to be an official. You can still take a nap at work."
Zhang Nina leaned on the chair, eyes half-opened and half-closed, and said: "Don't be envious, if you become an official, you can do it too!"

Action team captain's room.
Jiang Xinyu stood in front of the window and watched a Willys jeep drive into Yanjin Station. A captain officer got out of the car, holding several document bags in his hand.
Jiang Xinyu knew that if the garrison headquarters had documents that needed to be filed with the military command, they would send someone to Yanjin Station.
According to the time calculation, if there are documents about that batch of Japanese prisoners of war, they will be delivered within the next few days.
Such documents are handed over to the Intelligence Division and then kept in the confidential room.
Jiang Xinyu opened the drawer, put the miniature camera he had prepared in advance into his arms, took a can of tea on the table, and then walked out of the office.
Arriving at the Director's Office of the Intelligence Department, Jiang Xinyu reached out and knocked on the door, "Dudu!"
"Come in." Feng Qingshan's voice came from inside the house.
Jiang Xinyu opened the door and walked in. Recently, he often came to the intelligence office, either because he had nothing to do and played chess, or just to chat.
Feng Qingshan was already used to this kind of interaction, and being able to have a good relationship with the action captain would only benefit him and not bring any harm, and besides, they were both Qiao Mucai's people in name.
"Director Feng, why didn't I see you in the restaurant at noon?"
"I went to the police station in the morning. I didn't have time to get back, so I had to deal with him outside."
"Oh, what I said..."
"Captain Jiang, your action team has made a lot of achievements recently. We caught three large army members!"
"The main reason is that the intelligence department has good intelligence, and I just work hard. If I want to take the credit, Director Feng must account for at least 70%!"
Feng Qingshan smiled and said: "Seventy percent is too much. Four to six is the most fair. You have four and I have six."
"If the action team can account for four, it will be really well deserved!"
"Between you and me, there is no need to be so modest."
Jiang Xinyu put the tea can on the coffee table and said: "The new tea sent by my friend is authentic Xinyang Maojian. I specially brought you a can to try."
Feng Qingshan: "Thank you."
"What's the point of thanking a can of tea for..."
"Tuk-tuk!" There was a knock on the door.
Feng Qingshan: "Come in!"
The captain stepped in, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Director Feng, this is a confidential document left by the military commander. Please sign for it."
Feng Qingshan took the document bag, looked at it, took a pen and signed his name on the receipt. The captain saluted him again, then turned around and left.
The document bag was printed with the words "Top Secret" and a line of words on the cover: Memorandum on the Situation of Japanese Prisoners Going to Shanxi.
"Why, there are also Japanese prisoners of war in Yanjin?" Jiang Xinyu asked casually.
Feng Qingshan picked up the document bag and took another look at it, and said: "You just know? This is the second batch. The last batch sent away more than 600 people from Yanjin."
Jiang Xinyu laughed and said: "I'm not an intelligence worker, so how would I know these things... No wonder the Communist Party always said in newspapers that the army was taking in Japanese prisoners of war. I thought they were spreading rumors!"
Feng Qingshan: "So, there is no basis for it, let them say whatever they want!"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment and said: "However, if a war really breaks out, these prisoners of war will be captured by the Communist army on the battlefield. Isn't this ready evidence?"
Feng Qingshan smiled and said: "Even so, we still don't have to admit it. Instead, we say that the Communist army used Japanese prisoners of war to participate in the war. They are shouting to catch the thief!"
Jiang Xinyu tapped his forehead and said: "My brain...oh, I haven't turned this corner!"
Feng Qingshan: "Actually, according to the commission, only the instructors and technical personnel of the Japanese army will be retained, and the rest will be repatriated! But Chief Yan believes that these Japanese troops have rich experience in the Eighth Route War and insist on using them!"
