Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 1228 Excited Wife

It was already seven o'clock when Li Zheng arrived home that night.

It was getting dark early.

My daughter ate egg noodles and sat on the sofa with Shao Xiaoqian to study online preschool tutorials.

When Li Zheng opened the door, he inevitably had to face Shao Xiaoqian's resentment again, saying that he had forgotten about home because he was so busy.

Angry and resentful, but Shao Xiaoqian was still very happy when her husband came back. She went up to take the bag from Li Zheng's hand, and took out the slippers for him to change.

Li Zheng hurriedly took out an apron and put it on, rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen.

The little aunt at home is a relative from Shao Xiaoqian's hometown, and she came over to help take care of the child.

Because the mother-in-law has gone to the capital to accompany the old man, without the old man's care, the young couple can only rely on themselves.

In addition to the special nature of this family, both Li Zheng and Shao Xiaoqian were soldiers. For a period of time, Shao Xiaoqian had to pick up the child at night and take her to the cafeteria of the Intelligence Investigation Brigade to eat with him.

It lasted like this for a year. One time, mother-in-law Li Yueqin came back to G city and found the door locked at the couple's house. She went to the Love Detective Brigade and found her daughter and granddaughter.

It was winter when we met, and the place was in the office. Shao Xiaoqian was working. Sissi, who was less than two years old, was playing on the floor by herself. A piece of mucus dripped from her nose and hung on the middle of the bed. Her two little faces were flushed and a little... It's dry and cracked, making people look pitiful.

Li Yueqin's face turned dark immediately, and when Shao Xiaoqian returned from overtime, she couldn't help but get angry.

In her opinion, the couple simply couldn't get along. She and Lao Shao had been married for so many years, and they had both worked in the army. They had never been in such an embarrassing situation, and they had not treated their daughter badly.

"You were the same age as Sissi at that time, and I didn't freeze your face like this. No matter how busy I was, I had someone take care of you. I sent you to kindergarten and picked you up from school..."

Li Yueqin kept nagging, and she didn't know whether it was with pity or annoyance. Anyway, her words were filled with complaints and distress.

After this incident, Li Yueqin went back to her hometown in person, and spent a lot of money to find a distant relative who was very handy to help take care of her.

After that, I had a good heart-to-heart talk with Li Zheng. The central content was that since both of them are soldiers and work in key departments, they cannot have their cake and eat it too. One of them will have to sacrifice himself to take care of the family. .

No one can have both.

After careful consideration, Shao Xiaoqian agreed to sacrifice her career.

Not long after, she was transferred from the Intelligence Reconnaissance Brigade to a military academy in G City, where she taught battlefield information and intelligence analysis in the Special Operations Department.

The school is much more leisurely than a unit like the Intelligence Investigation Brigade, and with the help of the little aunt invited here, in Li Yueqin’s words, this family finally feels like a family. In the past, it was not called a family, so that’s fine. It means that revolutionary comrades live together.

The little aunt had picked and cut the vegetables. Li Zheng went up to heat the oil in the pot, turned on the range hood and started working in the kitchen.

When making boiled fish fillets, Shao Xiaoqian sneaked into the kitchen at some point, took a pair of chopsticks and directly picked up a piece of fish fillet that had not yet been served and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it carefully and praised it: "Li The brigade commander's cooking skills haven't deteriorated. Did he also cook a lot in the 433rd Brigade?"

When it comes to cooking in the 433rd Brigade, Li Zheng has done it before.

For example, when Lao Wan said goodbye last time and left, he personally cooked and made a pot of boiled fish fillets using the fish he caught.

This is his specialty.

When it comes to Lao Wan, Shao Xiaoqian said that she had seen Lao Wan in the war zone some time ago. He came to go through some formalities. He seemed to be in good spirits. When asked about his condition, Lao Wan said that it was just like that and he would not die.

After saying that, he still laughed.

Shao Xiaoqian said that since she could still laugh, it meant that Lao Wan was living a more comfortable life recently.

I sighed again when I was done.

In fact, I envy Lao Wan and his wife.

Li Zheng said, aren’t you cursing me?
Shao Xiaoqian took a closer look at her previous emotions and felt that she was really wrong.

But at home, she rarely gave up. Whenever there was a dispute, Li Zheng would let her go.

Li Zheng felt that a good man would not fight with a woman, and it would be a sign of pettiness to argue with a woman.

So every time he gave up.

This unprincipled way of handling things made Shao Xiaoqian more or less unreasonable like a little girl.

"How am I cursing you? I am envious of the couple who have found the true meaning of life. They can help each other and grow old together. They are the only ones who grow old slowly... Tell me, how romantic..."

Li Zheng said while cooking: "Oh, I can't tell that Director Shao, who was vigorous and resolute back then, has become sentimental now."

Shao Xiaoqian was suddenly touched, her eyes turned red, and she said yes, don't look at how violent I was in the past, after all, I am also a woman, right?
Li Zheng immediately sensed something was wrong in his words, and turned his head and his eyes happened to fall on the corner of Shao Xiaoqian's eyes.

They are the same age, both 35 this year, and Shao Xiaoqian already has a few fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

Li Zheng couldn't help but feel soft. He put an arm around his wife, pecked her on the forehead and said sorry.

It seems that except for saying sorry, everything seems so redundant and weak.

Shao Xiaoqian suddenly returned to normal again, her eyes suddenly became tough, "What are you doing?" Suddenly, mother-in-law and mother-in-law got up. If you look at the delicious food, you are going to be confused. Don’t cuddle and cuddle here. It’s so bad for the child to see. My little aunt is also here... If anything happens, we’ll talk about it tonight...

Li Zheng tensed up all of a sudden, retracted his hand as if he had a guilty conscience, and started cooking in a serious manner. The couple has been like this over the years. Many times when their love is strong, a sudden word will make them return to their true nature as revolutionary comrades.

Sometimes Li Zheng doesn't know what to call it, saying it's not love? of course not.

Is it comradeship plus friendship? Definitely more than that.

To say that marriage is the tomb of love, and that love turns into family affection, cannot be summarized in such a simple way.

Anyway, I feel like I have a little bit of everything.

Love, family affection, friendship, revolutionary comrades.

Anyway, it's so awkward and sweet for a soldier to marry a soldier, like a spoonful of sugar put into water. Once mixed, it's hard to separate.

Shao Xiaoqian reminded Li Zheng: "Commander Li, please move quickly. Your girl is going to cause trouble again later. She can't help but be hungry."

Li Zheng said: "By the way, I guess I won't be the brigade commander soon."

Shao Xiaoqian was startled subconsciously, and then her eyes lit up again: "Is the order issued?"

Li Zheng shook his head: "That's not true, but Chief Zhuang called me and said that my appointment has been discussed and decided."

"Where to go?" Shao Xiaoqian asked.

Li Zheng said: "Guess."

"I won't guess!" Shao Xiaoqian said, "What's the point of guessing? If you really don't want to tell me, I'll just give you a call later."

Li Zheng said: "Your father said he won't let you do anything special."

Shao Xiaoqian said: "I don't want to be special. I am asking as Li Zheng's wife. Is that okay?"

Li Zheng could only speak frankly and honestly: "Combat situation."

"Combat Bureau of the Theater Joint Staff Headquarters?" Shao Xiaoqian beamed.

She knew the weight of this position.

This position is definitely a place to train people, a place to test people, and a place to promote people.

Commanders who leave here will basically be entrusted with important tasks.

Li Zheng is now at the brigade level, with the rank of colonel, and he will get a star if he goes higher up.

But it’s not that easy to hang on to the stars. There are carrot pits all the way up the journey.

Many people have reached this stage. They originally had good abilities and good qualifications, but they have been waiting for ten or eight years. In the end, they have not been able to find the pit. According to regulations, people have met the conditions for changing jobs, and they can only leave in despair.

"I remember that the position of director is vacant. You can't appoint the director directly, right?" Shao Xiaoqian said.

Li Zhengdao: "No, deputy director, acting director, I guess he is the general appointed by Chief Yan."

"Him?" Shao Xiaoqian felt her eyebrows twitching slightly: "It's good to follow him. Chief Yan is an extraordinary person."

Li Zheng said: "I have been working at the grassroots level since I joined the army, starting from the special forces. To be honest, I really don't like going to the agency and I feel a sense of fear towards the agency."

Shao Xiaoqian smiled and said, "And what are you afraid of?"

Li Zheng said: "Of course, agency work is different from combat troops."

Shao Xiaoqian said: "The combat situation is different. It will be very busy there, and there are staff officers from all branches of the sea, land and air force. This department was only reorganized last year. You were really under a lot of pressure in the past. The staff officers of all arms who can work at the Joint Staff Headquarters are all from their own You are the best in the military. Many people are older and more senior than you. It takes real ability to convince people. But I believe in you, husband, you are the best!"

After speaking, she gave Li Zheng a thumbs up.

Li Zheng felt warm again in his heart and was extremely moved.

Shao Xiaoqian is someone who will always stand by her side to encourage herself. Knowing that she is the best in the eyes of another person is the best feeling for a man.

"thank you, wife……"

Before he even finished speaking, Shao Xiaoqian suddenly turned around and was swept out like the wind.

As he walked, he shouted to his daughter Sissi: "Baby! Mom is so happy today!"

"Auntie, get a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet. I want to drink some to celebrate tonight!"

Li Zheng prepared another dish and couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard his wife's voice as happy as a lark outside the kitchen.

Recalling what Shao Xiaoqian had said before and thinking of everything he was about to face in the combat bureau, he couldn't help but warn himself that the position of director of the combat bureau was really not an easy one to take. Once there, if he didn't have some real skills, he would probably lose more than just himself. Face.

A kind of pressure fell on my shoulders invisibly.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
