Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Listening to the roar coming from the other end of the phone, Cheng Hao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Commander, no one is making things difficult for me, and no one is trying to trip me up. I am willing to change my job.

I'm a little tired after fighting for so many years, and I want to change to an easier job. Please be kind and let me go."

What Cheng Hao said was from his heart, but some people obviously couldn't accept it.

Wei Dingguo was silent for a while, then he took a deep breath and shouted, "Bullshit! You have only fought for a few years, and you are telling me this.

You little bastard, you want to just walk away without any preparation? You’re dreaming!

You can't leave without my permission!"

Cheng Hao wanted to persuade the teacher again, but he didn't expect the other party to hang up the phone directly without giving him any room for negotiation. It was obvious that he was very angry.

It's true that Cheng Hao was the youngest regiment commander in the division and should have had a bright future in the army. But now he has left, and Commander Wei is very disappointed and can't get over it.

Cheng Hao knew that Commander Wei was concerned about him, and he was also very clear about the other's temper.

Although Commander Wei looks aggressive, he will definitely understand Cheng Hao's difficulties after he calms down.

After putting the transfer on hold and dealing with the affairs within the regiment, Cheng Hao began to arrange for the various units of the 702nd Regiment to take turns taking vacations.

The first batch of people released included Cheng Hao and He Yuzhu. They were both from the city, and they were already at home. It would be inhumane if they were not allowed to go back to visit their families.

In the evening of the day when the troops returned, Cheng Hao and his companion packed their things and rushed to the courtyard carrying large and small bags.

Due to the tight schedule, it was already late at night when the two returned to the courtyard and the gates were closed.

He Yuzhu, who was homesick, put down his luggage and rushed to knock on the door.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The rapid knocking on the door is like drumbeats, showing the homesickness of the wanderers.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, stop knocking, the door is almost broken..."

After a long time, Yan Bugui came out cursing and opened the door.

He was sleeping soundly late at night when suddenly there was a noise outside, which made him very unhappy.

"who……"

As soon as the door opened, He Yuzhu turned around, picked up his luggage and rushed in without waiting for Yan Bugui to take a closer look.

"Ouch..."

Yan Bugui, who was hit by He Yuzhu, spun around, but fortunately Cheng Hao stepped forward to hold him up so he didn't fall to the ground.

"Yan Bugui, are you okay? Zhuzi has been holding it in for two years and finally came back. Please be patient and don't blame him."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Bugui lowered his eyebrows, held his eyes, looked at the person in the bright moonlight, raised his hand and said tremblingly: "You...you are Cheng Hao? Cheng Hao, you are back?"

"Look at your memory, you'd better not be a teacher. After two years, you even forgot me?"

Cheng Hao took out a handful of fruit candies from his bag and stuffed them into the hands of the shocked Yan Bugui. Without waiting for him to say anything, he walked straight into the yard.

After two years of working outside, Cheng Hao finally came back.

As Cheng Hao entered the courtyard, the noise caused by He Yuzhu finally woke up the residents of the courtyard. The neighbors walked out of the rooms one after another, looking at the returning hero with surprise.

Cheng Hao greeted his neighbors along the way and walked slowly to the central courtyard.

The lights in the houses in the Central Courtyard were bright, as if to welcome Cheng Hao's return. The neighbors gathered in a circle, and He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu and He Yushui were hugging each other, crying loudly.

He Yuzhu had been away for two years. Although he had sent several letters home to assure his safety, Qin Huairu was still very worried about his safety.

Now that He Yuzhu has returned to the courtyard safely, Qin Huairu can finally put her mind at ease.

Seeing the brothers and their families reunited, Cheng Hao couldn't help but smile knowingly. Just as he was admiring this heartwarming scene, the door behind him made a crisp "creaking" sound, followed by a strong and pungent stench sweeping in.

Cheng Hao looked back and saw a middle-aged woman with tattered clothes, a distorted face and messy hair looking at him with red eyes.

"Cheng Hao, where is my son? Where is my son?!

Dongxu, why haven’t you heard from Dongxu for two years? Why?

This inhuman creature was none other than Jia Zhang, who was anxiously waiting for her son's return in the courtyard.

Seeing that Cheng Hao and He Yuzhu had returned safely, but there was no sign of Jia Dongxu, she felt as if she had been hit hard. She trembled with every step, as if she might fall down at any time.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu was a deserter on the battlefield and has been shot."

Cheng Hao covered his nose and calmly told the story of Jia Dongxu's fate.

Jia Dongxu, the bastard, deserted the battlefield and delayed military operations, so he deserved to be shot. Moreover, he had no merits and did not die on the battlefield, so he could not even be called a martyr, and his body could only be thrown randomly in the mountains of North Korea.

When the neighbors heard that Jia Dongxu had deserted, they were not too surprised. Everyone knew what Jia Dongxu was like. It would be strange if he could fight well and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

"Impossible, impossible, this is impossible!"

Jia Zhang scratched her face with her nails like a madman, leaving streaks of blood. She had entered a state of madness.

"My son is not dead, Dongxu is not dead, you are lying to me, you are lying to me!

I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! ”

Cheng Hao took a few steps back and said nonchalantly, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Jia Dongxu was already dead, and Cheng Hao had no interest in paying attention to a crazy woman.

"You liar! You two are deserters. You ran back here and left my son on the front line, right? Assholes, I will report you. I must report you!"

Unable to accept the reality, Jia Zhang became more and more crazy, with drooling from the corners of her mouth, sometimes crying, and sometimes laughing with her head raised.

The neighbors couldn't help but feel sad when they saw this. When Jia Dongxu died, he left no children, so the Jia family was considered extinct.

"Asshole, I'll fight you!"

Just as Cheng Hao turned his head, Jia Zhang behind him suddenly roared and ran towards him.

Having been on the battlefield for more than two years, Cheng Hao's stats had already maxed out, with all indicators five times higher than those of ordinary people. How could he be ambushed by Jia Zhang? He turned around suddenly, raised his leg and easily kicked Jia Zhang several meters away.

Jia Zhang fell heavily to the ground, rolled a few times and finally returned to the door of her home.

"I don't want to do anything, don't mess with me."

Cheng Hao didn't even turn his head, just casually said something and left. As soon as he walked to He Yuzhu's door, he was surrounded by neighbors.

Two years ago, Cheng Hao became the company commander, and no one knew what position he held now. If he could move up a level, then the 95th Yard would be considered a big shot, and everyone would be proud of it and could brag about it for a few days.

"What am I now? I have resigned from my position and now I am just an ordinary citizen like you."

Cheng Hao just laughed and waved his hand to push away the neighbors who were surrounding him.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't believe it and couldn't help but look at He Yuzhu, wanting to verify it.

"What Brother Hao said is true. Besides, I have also resigned from my position and am now an ordinary citizen."

Now that Cheng Hao has left the army, He Yuzhu will certainly not continue to stay in the 702nd Regiment.

He Yuzhu had done his duty to his dead comrades by holding out until the end of the war. From now on, he just wanted to live a good life with his family.
