Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

Through acquaintances, Mei Xinger found Xiao Zhang, who manages medical records in Dongjiang Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. After explaining her intentions, Xiao Zhang took her to the medical records room. While searching, Xiao Zhang said, "According to the regulations, ordinary medical records should be kept for 20 years, and those who died of ineffective treatment should be kept for more than 30 years. If you come a few years later, I'm afraid you won't be able to find them." Wang Fengying's file was found after a while , handed it to her, "Look for yourself!"

Mei Xing'er flipped through the medical records and couldn't help being stunned. In the medical records, in the newborn baby column, the word "died" was impressively filled in. It was late at night, and Mei Xing'er was walking home silently, one question after another flashed in her mind.Young death means that the child of Wang Fengying and Mei Degui died at birth.what about me?Where did I come from then?Who are my biological parents?Is Mei Degui really not my biological father?Where are my biological parents?She raised her head to look at the starry night sky, and felt that her life experience was like the stars in the sky, hidden in the vast galaxy, full of too many unsolved mysteries.

Back in the dormitory, seeing Mei Degui, who was blushing from drinking, was sitting at the table counting money, he couldn't help asking strangely, "Dad, where did you get so much money?" Seeing her daughter came back, Mei Degui was so excited that she couldn't hold back: "Xing'er, you really have vision. Ji Dong's child is kind and rich, and his father-in-law recognizes him. Look at how generous he is, he gave it right away." One hundred thousand dollars for dad, one hundred thousand dollars, dad has never seen so much money in his life..." Before he finished speaking, Mei Xing'er picked up a plastic bag and went over to put money in it. Mei Degui grabbed the plastic bag and said, "Hey? I haven't finished ordering yet?"

"Dad, you can't ask for this money. Why do you ask for money if you are not relatives?" Mei Degui yelled: "Why do you call it non-kinship? He will be my son-in-law soon." "Even if I marry Yu Jidong, you can't ask for the money." Mei Degui slapped the table: "Why can't I have it? Am I still your father?" Mei Xing'er was startled when she heard this, she let go of the plastic bag in her hand, walked to the window and looked out at the night silently, and said for a while, "Dad, when I was young... the children in the village said I picked it up, I really picked it up. Did you come?"

Mei Degui froze for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed across his face: "Don't listen to their nonsense! Didn't Dad tell you? Your mother had a difficult labor back then, and Dad sent her to Dongjiang Maternity Hospital. Your mother gave birth to you. I just died..." Seeing that Mei Xing'er was standing motionless in front of the window, she stepped forward and asked uneasily, "Xing'er, Dad...he drank too much a few days ago, did he say something wrong?" Mei Xing'er turned around, forced a smile at him, and shook her head lightly. Sitting in the off-road vehicle, Lu Huaicheng looked at Zheng Yuanhai who was only driving, and finally couldn't help asking: "Didn't you have something to talk to me? Where are you taking me?"

The SUV drove to a beach and stopped, Zheng Yuanhai turned around and said, "Uncle Lu..." Lu Huaicheng was startled. "My mother wants to see you." Lu Huaicheng pushed open the car door, only to see Xu Xinfang walking towards him with the support of Zheng Xiuzhu. There has been no news for more than 20 years, and the glory and prosperity of those years have passed away mercilessly with the years, and when they meet again, their temples are gray and their faces are vicissitudes.With mixed feelings, Lu Huaicheng took two quick steps to meet him: "Sister-in-law, is that you?"

Xu Xinfang couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed, "It's me, brother Huaicheng." Lu Huaicheng stepped forward to support her: "Sister-in-law, I have been looking for you for many years!" Xu Xinfang cried: "Actually, I have been in Dongjiang for many years, and I have never had the face to see you." "Sister-in-law, stop talking about this!" Zheng Yuanhai stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have concealed my identity from you." Lu Huaicheng smiled bleakly: "Hehe, brat, do you think you can hide it from me? I've seen your file since you came out of the Marine Corps."

"Ah?" Zheng Yuanhai looked at him in surprise. Xu Xinfang pulled Zheng Xiuzhu: "This is my daughter, Xiuzhu." Zheng Xiuzhu stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lu!" Lu Huaicheng happily said, "Hey!" Then, Xu Xinfang sent Zheng Yuanhai and his sister aside.Just when Lu Huaicheng was puzzled, Xu Xinfang fell to her knees in front of him, "Brother Huaicheng, our whole family, I'm sorry..." Lu Huaicheng was at a loss for a while: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, get up quickly." Xu Xinfang turned to her knees and cried towards the sea, "Mingyan, I'm sorry for you. I lost your daughter and haven't found it until now. Forgive my sister-in-law..."

"Sister-in-law, get up! What are you doing? It's been so many years..." Lu Huaicheng persuaded. "Huaicheng, it's been so many years, I'm really ashamed to see you, our family owes your family, and I will never go to school in my life. It's been 27 years, and your daughter has not even heard from me. When I got there , I don’t have the face to meet Mingyan, I can’t explain to her!” Lu Huaicheng pulled her up: "Sister-in-law, stop talking, we don't blame you, Mingyan won't blame you..." Twenty-seven years later, the Zheng and Lu families were finally reunited. Lu Huaicheng was very excited and specially prepared food and wine for Xu Xinfang's family.

Lu Huaicheng looked at a bottle of Moutai on the table and said, "Back then, I went to Zheng Ji's hometown to look for you after you left, and only saw Lao Zheng's tombstone..." He stabilized his emotions, and then said, " At that time, you had already left with your children, I thought I would never see you again in this life, I have kept this wine for twenty-seven years." Everyone's eyes turned red. Xu Xinfang went on to say: "Since Zheng Ji came home, he has been taciturn all day long, never smiled, and looked for your daughter everywhere in the country. That's how we adopted Xiuzhu."

Lu Huaicheng waved his hand: "Let him get over the unhappiness of the past! Today our two families are finally reunited. Come, let's drink this bottle of wine!" Xu Xinfang picked up her wine glass and turned to Gao Mingyan's portrait: "Mingyan, we met again. My sister-in-law is here to make an apology for you. You are alive in heaven. May we find your daughter." After speaking, she raised her hand and wiped her tears. "Sister-in-law, today is a happy day, let's not talk about the past." Lu Huaicheng turned to Zheng Yuanhai with a cup, "Come to Yuanhai, let me have a drink first!" Zheng Yuanhai quickly got up and raised his glass: "Commander, I respect you! I apologize to you on behalf of our family!" Lu Huaicheng put the wine glass on the table: "Will you let me drink this wine?" Zheng Xiuzhu held up the cup: "Uncle, we brothers and sisters respect you, if your daughter can't be found, my brother and I will be your own son and daughter in the future!" "Hey!" Lu Huaicheng said happily, "I'm still a girl who can talk, come, drink!" After finishing his drink, Lu Huaicheng put down his glass and said, "Sister-in-law, where do you live now?" "The rented house is in good condition." Lu Huaicheng fell silent for a while, and sighed for a long time: "I'm negligent, I'm sorry for my old comrades! Yuan Hai has become a captain, and I let you rent a house." After Lu Huaicheng returned, he called the director of the barracks to the office and asked about the housing allocation of the unit. The director of the barracks stood in front of Lu Huaicheng holding the real estate book and explained uncomfortably: "Because the housing is tight, we stipulate that unmarried cadres do not participate Divide room." "Who stipulated this?" Lu Huaicheng asked. "Our logistics department." "Do grassroots cadres who are eligible for marriage have houses to live in?" The director of the barracks hesitated for a moment: "There are also rented houses, a few..." Lu Huaicheng looked up at him: "Is our base house really as tense as you said?" "It's really tense!" "Isn't that right?" Lu Huaicheng got up and said, "According to my understanding, one-third of our cadres transferred to other places but did not hand over their houses. Isn't it all because the places didn't allocate houses?" "This..." The barracks chief didn't dare to look him in the eyes. "There are not a few houses that some powerful comrades have lent to relatives, right?" "Yes! Mainly the chief..." "And some old comrades passed it on to their children who shouldn't have had military housing, right?" "That's right! But these are all scumbags, like those who changed jobs but didn't pay. Most of them went to the government and the public security department. They have a good relationship with our army. There are also children of veteran cadres... It's not clear..." Lu Huaicheng raised his voice and said, "Don't you dare to clear it?" The barracks chief nodded helplessly. Lu Huaicheng walked around the room and asked again: "Let me ask you, what is the standard of the house you live in now?" "I..." The barracks chief was speechless. "I've lived here, so what else are you afraid to say?" "Assistant teacher's office." Lu Huaicheng became angry all of a sudden, and said angrily: "How can there be a room for the assistant teacher? Isn't it just the teacher's room? You are also a regular member of the regiment, and he is also a regular member of the regiment. You are already living in the teacher's room. Renting a house to live in! Have you seen it?" "But this rule..." The barracks director raised the notebook in his hand. "What bullshit rules? Let me abolish it!" Lu Huaicheng looked sullen, "I know you don't want to offend anyone. I, Lu Huaicheng, have come to offend this person. I have already greeted the political commissar and immediately set up a Qing government. I personally take charge of the housing office, except those who have been transferred to cadres who are not allocated housing, and whoever over-occupied or illegally occupied them will move to me within a limited time." The table was knocked loudly by Lu Huaicheng, and the barracks director's heart also trembled. Not long after, Zheng Yuanhai was assigned a group job house, and Xu Xinfang moved to the new house with her children.Ma Yifan and Zheng Yuanhai carried a cabinet into the door, and Zheng Xiuzhu shouted, "Slow down, you two! Come, put it in the corner here." Ma Yifan yelled, "Squeeze in...squeeze more." Zheng Yuanhai pushed the furniture into the wall. "Squeeze..." Ma Yifan shouted again, and Zheng Yuanhai pushed in. "Squeeze... squeeze..." Zheng Yuanhai pushed again: "In the end, I can't squeeze anymore..." Ma Yifan blushed: "Squeeze...my hand!" Everyone laughed. Xu Xinfang hurriedly said, "Look quickly, is it important?" "No...it's okay, Auntie!" Nan Kejiang came in carrying the furniture, and Zheng Xiuzhu helped him put it in a corner. Xu Xinfang said excitedly: "This time I finally have my own home, Yuan Hai, you have to thank Uncle Lu and work hard." Ma Yifan stepped forward and shouted, "Gao... are you happy? Auntie!" "Happy, can you not be happy?" "Our family is not the only one that is happy." Nan Kejiang said, "The leaders of the base have made rigid regulations, and the housing of comrades at the grassroots level should be solved first. I have also been divided. The three-bedroom and one-living room for the regimental staff, Xiuzhu, this time the two of us will also get married. Don't worry about the house." Zheng Xiuzhu glared at him reproachfully: "Who said he was going to marry you? You're really thick-skinned." Everyone laughed happily, but Ma Yifan turned his head out of the window, and the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another outside the window. "I bought it too!" Zheng Xiuzhu took out a large hanging firecracker. "You are so wise." Zheng Yuanhai took the firecrackers, "Let's go, Yifan, Kejiang, let's join in the fun." Everyone went out happily. Lu Huaicheng and Wang Hongye were walking in the camp when they suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance. "Why did someone set off firecrackers in the camp?" Lu Huaicheng asked. Wang Hongye chuckled: "Today is a special day, specially approved by the security department!" "What special day?" "It's the day when our base allocates rooms!" Lu Huaicheng suddenly realized, and then said: "These are the benefits that people should have received long ago. It is an abnormal phenomenon to thank the leader again and again after getting the key!" "That's right! Today, a navigator who rented a house outside led his wife and children to post a thank-you letter to the office building. I blushed when I saw it!" Wang Hongye said with emotion. Lu Huaicheng's eyes were red: "We who are leaders are too concerned about training and management, and care too little about the lives of the comrades below, we are not competent!" Since Zheng Xiuzhu reconciled with Nan Kejiang, Ma Yifan has become reticent, except standing in front of the window looking at the sea every day, he just sighs and sighs.This day, as soon as Zheng Xiuzhu returned to the store, he was called over by him. "Zhuzi, actually I...I've wanted...wanted to talk to you a long time ago." "What's wrong? Brother Yifan?" Zheng Xiuzhu looked at him puzzled. Ma Yifan smiled: "I used to work at... Yu Jidong's place very...very well, but I didn't do it for...for you. Now that you are getting married, I don't think I will do it in this bar." ... quit." Zheng Xiuzhu looked at him with surprised eyes: "Brother Yifan..." "You don't...don't feel guilty." Ma Yifan said hastily, "I, Ma Yifan, am...a man, it's nothing...nothing, there is no... Fangcao anywhere in the world, right?" Zheng Xiuzhu nodded and said sincerely: "I'm glad you think so, but I hope you stay." "No, I'd better go! Otherwise, I'm afraid that if you look at me every day, you will feel uncomfortable." Although his words made Zheng Xiuzhu dumbfounded, she was still very moved in her heart: "Brother Yifan, you still have your shares here, I will pay you back slowly." "No...no need, Auntie is not in good health, let... see her old man! I will... cleanse and leave the house." Xiaona at the bar was already sobbing. Ma Yifan was the one who was most saddened to leave the Pacific Bar. Ma Yifan returned to Yu Jidong's company again, and met Yu Jidong in the corridor who came back from work outside.Yu Jidong looked at him in circles, Ma Yifan stood there stiffly like a child who made a mistake, extremely embarrassed. Yu Jidong was annoyed and funny looking at his fearful expression: "Mahair, you were not allowed to leave at the beginning, but you insisted on arguing to leave, and even said you wanted to start a career. What about your career?" "My career is...in full swing, in full swing, but I can't...can't...stay there any longer, I'm afraid that Xiuzhu...she will feel bad for her!" Yu Jidong grinned: "Is it you who feel uncomfortable?" Ma Yifan rolled his eyes: "Anyway... Anyway, it's uncomfortable." Yu Jidong asked again: "Then what are your plans when you come back?" "Obey... obey the organization's assignment." Yu Jidong stood up and said: "Yifan, to be honest, there is no place for you now, or you can follow me!" "Okay! I'll follow...follow you." After Yu Jidong finished speaking, he walked towards the office, and Ma Yifan followed him into the office.A plastic bag on the desk contained 100,000 yuan. When Yu Jidong saw him, he turned around and asked, "Who sent it?" The secretary said, "Miss Mei just came!" Yu Jidong was startled: "Did she say anything?" "She said she was going to send her father back to her hometown, and she won't wait for you to come back." Yu Jidong grabbed the money and turned to go out, followed by Ma Yifan.After leaving the office building, Yu Jidong came to the parking lot, turned around and saw Ma Yifan still following behind: "Don't keep following me?" "You...don't you ask me to follow you?" "Okay, okay, don't follow private events." Yu Jidong said and started the car and left. For many days, Qin Siting was conflicted in her heart.Over the years, she did not know how many times she had the same dream, dreaming that Zheng Yuanhai proposed to her.But when this dream became a reality, she realized that it turned out to be so jerky and pale, like a colorful love story that she had been looking forward to for a long time, and it was shot in black and white by a crappy photographer. Art, only known to the performers themselves, has lost all the original passion and color. Qin Siting opened the piano box beside her, and gently plucked the strings with one finger. The piano made a dull sound in the box. She looked at the trembling strings without blinking, and savored the sound it made. the sound of…… A few days later, Qin Siting and Zheng Yuanhai came to the beach again. "Yuanhai, do you still remember that we stood in this place ten years ago?" Qin Siting stared at the depths of the sea without moving. Zheng Yuanhai nodded: "Remember, when you first came out of the Marine Corps." Qin Siting was immersed in the memories of the past: "How wonderful it was then!" Mother Xu Xinfang's health is getting worse day by day, and her only wish is to see Zheng Yuanhai get married.At this moment, he really wanted to know Qin Siting's attitude towards his marriage proposal, thinking of this, he said, "You...didn't ask me to come to nostalgia, did you?" "Yes, I miss the old friendship." Qin Siting said with a pun, "The sea is still the sea of ​​the past, but the waves are no longer the waves of the past." "Si Ting, although the waves of those years have receded without a trace, new waves are still emerging and coming. Life has to go on. Si Ting... I joined the army right after graduating from university, and I have no chance to be in front of my mother. Filial piety, this is her last wish..." "Yuan Hai..." Qin Siting interrupted him, "I am very touched by your filial piety, but... please forgive me, I cannot marry you." Zheng Yuanhai looked at her and nodded for a while. Qin Siting continued: "After all, marriage is a major event in a person's life, especially a girl. I can do anything for my aunt and her elders, but I can't marry someone who doesn't love me in his heart." "Si Ting!" Zheng Yuanhai said sincerely, "I have always regarded you as a good friend, a good comrade-in-arms, and a good buddy. I have a deep relationship. I admit that it is not love. Since I am determined to propose to you today, I will bear Tell you responsibly, from now on, I will love you with all my heart, and I will only love you for the rest of my life." A touch of emotion flashed across Qin Siting's face, but she quickly calmed down: "Yuan Hai, forget it, the sound of the piano being struck in the piano case is dissonant, and I am the same in the specific environment you are facing. Let's be good friends! I'm sorry." Turning around to leave. "Si Ting!" Zheng Yuanhai called to stop her, and said after a long while, "Anyway, thank you! I'm going to sea again tomorrow, and I won't be back until more than ten days. Please take care of me at home." Qin Siting turned her head and smiled: "Don't worry!" After speaking, she strode away. Zheng Yuanhai stood there motionless, watching her go away. The blue sky is like washing, and the blue sea is boundless. Ships 186 and 588 are cruising in the calm waters of No. 9.Suddenly, Ship 186 issued a combat alarm. Through the information sharing system, Zheng Yuanhai quickly learned that the over-the-horizon radar of Ship 186 had spotted an unidentified reconnaissance plane flying towards them from the southwest.Zheng Yuanhai hurriedly ordered to enter the air defense deployment, and at the same time conduct reconnaissance and defense on the surface and underwater. Not long after, an MI2 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft appeared in the southwest airspace like a big bird, approaching Ship 186 and Ship 588.When flying into the sky, it bypassed Ship 588 and circled Ship 186, like a foraging eagle, greedily staring at Ship 186 as it circled lower and lower, as if it was about to pounce on its prey at any time. There was no one on board. The camera on the belly of the reconnaissance plane can see clearly. Zheng Yuanhai was so angry that he grabbed the phone and shouted: "Captain Chen, he is taking pictures around you for reconnaissance, why didn't he knock it down?" "This is on the high seas. It is not allowed to use force without an order. I am asking the base's war room." Chen Jianjun was very angry on the phone. "By the time the order from the base came back, it had already run away and disappeared." "Command your own ship well, don't worry about it!" Chen Jianjun put down the phone. Zheng Yuanhai's eyes widened with anger, his blood was surging, he put down the phone and walked to the bridge to look at the unmanned reconnaissance plane hovering over Ship 186.Political Commissar Li persuaded him from the side: "Yuanhai, Captain Chen is right. Measures against hostile actions must be reported to the superior for approval." Zheng Yuanhai suddenly turned around and shouted: "This kind of reconnaissance plane can take hundreds of pictures in a minute, and when the order from the superior is issued, they will take pictures of you and run away." Political Commissar Li was at a loss for words, yes!Warships are known as mobile lands in the world, and your reconnaissance plane flying around my head is a violation of my airspace and territory.As a soldier, it is a great shame and humiliation to see others provoking you and being unable to take action. Zheng Yuanhai looked furious at the unmanned reconnaissance plane hovering above the 186 ship, and shouted: "He won't fight, we will!" Turning around and rushing into the command room, he ordered loudly: "Ready for the anti-aircraft missile, the target MI2 is unmanned for reconnaissance. Machine, ready to launch!" "Captain, don't be impulsive!" Political Commissar Li stepped forward to stop him. "Political commissar!" Zheng Yuanhai said, "In the information age, warplanes are fleeting, and warships are mobile land. We can't let others bully us and remain indifferent." A captain shouted: "Air-to-air missiles, preparations are complete before firing!" Zheng Yuanhai gritted his teeth and shouted: "I will bear all the consequences, ready to launch..." "Wait!" Commissar Li knew that rationality must prevail over impulsiveness at this time, "Yuan Hai, have you considered the consequences of launching without an order?" Zheng Yuanhai turned his head, looking at the five-star red flag flying on the 186 ship in the distance, his eyes gradually turned red.He knew that the red color was the dignity of the country bought by his fathers with blood, so he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Launch!" Chen Jianjun's eyes widened in horror. The wreckage of the unmanned reconnaissance plane hit by the missile launched by the 588 ship was burning into the sky, and dived straight to the stern of the 186 ship. "Zuo Manrudder, dodge!" Chen Jianjun roared. The 186 ship made a huge circle at full speed, and the wreckage of the plane landed in the sea at the stern of the 186 ship, splashing huge waves.Some debris fell directly on the stern of the warship, and the warship shook violently. Chen Jianjun picked up the phone and shouted: "Zheng Yuanhai, have you eaten the guts of a leopard?" He threw away the communicator and turned to go out. Nan Kejiang hurried into the Pacific Bar, and Zheng Xiuzhu went up to meet him: "How is it? Is the problem serious?" "Xiuzhu, don't worry." "How is my brother now?" Nan Kejiang said helplessly: "He's fine, he just entered the guard class." "Isn't that already losing your freedom?" Zheng Xiuzhu was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Will he be sentenced?" Nankejiang was silent. "Tell me?" Zheng Xiuzhu asked eagerly. "Using force without authorization at sea is a serious violation of the regulations. What's worse is that it caused the loss of the 186 stern and seriously injured two soldiers. They are still being rescued in the hospital!" Zheng Xiuzhu slumped down on the chair, and said to himself with dull eyes: "It's over, it's over." Nan Kejiang comforted her: "Xiuzhu, don't worry, the problem is not clear yet." Then he said, "Does Auntie know about this?" Zheng Xiuzhu murmured: "The whole base has spread, how could she not know?" Zheng Xiuzhu was worried and rushed home, while Qin Siting was giving Xu Xinfang an infusion. "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Xiuzhu asked eagerly. "Auntie is fine!" Qin Siting said, "It's just that she is weak. I advised her to go to the hospital but she refused. I gave her nutrition medicine." "Sister Si Ting, thank you." Zheng Xiuzhu turned to Xu Xinfang and persuaded, "Mom, you have to eat, how can your body bear this?" "Yes, auntie, your health is important." Qin Siting also persuaded. "I can't eat it." Xu Xinfang said again, "You don't need to persuade me, Mom can think about it." Zheng Xiuzhu squatted down: "Mom, why don't you go and ask Uncle Lu?" Xu Xinfang sighed and shook her head lightly, "Huaicheng must have his difficulties, otherwise he wouldn't have locked up your brother." Zheng Xiuzhu said with tears, "Mom, you must think about it." Xu Xinfang forced a smile: "Don't worry kid, Mom can think about it, even if she goes to jail, she's still alive after all, unlike being at sea, where she's always in fear." After a pause, she said, "Your father was in the navy and something like that happened, Your brother... this is fate!" As a doctor, Qin Siting understands that Xu Xinfang is only superficially strong, but she is actually suffering from great pain in her heart. For a person whose life is about to come to an end, this kind of psychological blow is undoubtedly fatal, but she can't find out. Appropriate language comforted her, but she could only turn her head to one side in pain. After reading Jiang Xizi's transfer application report, Chen Jianjun looked up at him: "Why did you apply for transfer?" "No reason, I want to change places." Chen Jianjun looked displeased: "This is your house? Come and leave as you want?" Seeing that Jiang Xizi remained silent, he said again: "I know you have a good personal relationship with Zheng Yuanhai and want to follow him, but he is now It's locked up, so you're going too?" "I want to go, but I don't have that blessing." "Jiang Xizi!" Chen Jianjun was anxious, "Do you know how you were transferred here? If I didn't want you, you would still be feeding pigs in the pig farm today!" Jiang Xizi said stubbornly, "I'd rather go back and feed the pigs." "You..." Chen Jianjun's lips trembled with anger, "Okay, you can go back, you have to give me a reason why you don't want to do it here?" "I don't want to be cowardly with a captain who doesn't dare to fight." Although Jiang Xizi's voice was not loud, to Chen Jianjun's ears, it was like a heavy bomb that knocked him out. After a while, Jiang Xizi said again: "I'm sorry Captain, I shouldn't talk to you like this, but I hope you can consider my request." Saluted, turned and went out to the base picket team. In the base picket team guard squad, Zheng Yuanhai was sitting in a dimly lit room facing the wall, thinking about his mistakes. He did not regret destroying the unmanned reconnaissance drone without an order, but felt guilty for hurting the two soldiers of the 186 ship.Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the voice of arguing outside the door: "Get out of the way, he is not a criminal, he is a hero." "You can't go in!" This is the voice of the picket. "Let go of me!" came a roar. Zheng Yuanhai's heart skipped a beat, Jiang Xizi?That's right, it was his voice, and he quickly got up and went to the window to look out. Jiang Xizi was torn between two pickets. "Let go of me, why do you lock him up?" Jiang Xizi shouted. "Stop!" Zheng Yuanhai shouted loudly, "Xizi, what are you doing? Have you forgotten who you are?" The tall picket soldier said: "Do you know what you are doing?" "Take him away and hand it over to the security office." Another picket soldier said. "Wait!" Zheng Yuanhai hurriedly said, "Two comrades, I'm sorry, he is a soldier under me. He was impulsive and blamed me for not educating me well. I apologize to you." "Captain Zheng, we are also performing official duties!" said the tall picket. Another picket said to him: "The captain said so, let's forget about it?" The two pickets let go of Jiang Xizi's hand. Zheng Yuanhai signaled Jiang Xizi to leave quickly with his eyes, but Jiang Xizi stuck there like a stake, motionless. "Go! Go!" Zheng Yuanhai urged in a low voice. "I'm not leaving!" Jiang Xizi yelled stubbornly, and continued to say with a choked voice: "We are soldiers. What's wrong with soldiers defending their own territorial waters? Their planes are circling overhead, and we are watching helplessly. They don’t even dare to move, so what’s the use of us? Rather than being a soldier like this, it’s better to go home and farm... I’m not a soldier anymore..." He took off his military cap and was about to throw it to the ground. "Jiang Xizi!" Zheng Yuanhai roared angrily, causing Jiang Xizi's hand holding the military cap to stop in mid-air. "Look at what's on the military cap? It's the military emblem! What does it represent? I was wrong about this. I forgot that as a member of the ship, there should be no personal heroism, lack of overall concept, and no consciousness. Considering that our every move at sea involves the strategic interests of the country, I have no objection to the punishment given to me by the leaders." "No! You were right, you were wrong if you didn't shoot it down! Captain Chen was wrong!" Jiang Xizi shouted. "Okay! This is not a place to say who is right and who is wrong, go back!" Jiang Xizi still stood still, Zheng Yuanhai shouted: "I order you to go back!" With tears in her eyes, Jiang Xizi suddenly turned around and left. The two pickets glanced at each other, and said to Zheng Yuanhai: "Captain Zheng, that veteran just now is right, you are a hero, and we admire you from the bottom of our hearts, and you have been wronged here, but... we It is also performing military duties, please understand." In an instant, Zheng Yuanhai felt a rush of heat in his heart, and looked at them movedly: "Thank you." Chen Jingguo came home from get off work very late, and Chen Jianjun was still sitting in the living room waiting for him: "Dad, why did you leave work so late?" Chen Jingguo glanced at him: "Are you waiting for me to come back if you don't sleep?" Chen Jianjun did not comment. "You want to inquire about Zheng Yuanhai?" "Dad, I want to know how the fleet will deal with Zheng Yuanhai." "Do your own thing well, and don't ask about what you shouldn't care about!" Chen Jingguo said with a cold expression. Chen Jingguo hung his coat and hat on the coat rack and said, "I'm usually so busy that I don't even have time to sleep, why don't you hurry up and rest?" Chen Jianjun thought for a while and said, "Dad, I've been reflecting on myself these past two days. I think... Zheng Yuanhai's fault is not with Zheng Yuanhai." Seeing that his father didn't say a word, he continued, "The unmanned reconnaissance planes are turning around on our ship. Don't mention how angry I was, to be honest, I wanted to shoot him down too." "Then why didn't you fight?" Chen Jingguo's unexpected words stunned Chen Jianjun, and he muttered after a while: "A captain, in an emergency, doesn't even have the right to fire. This captain is really useless." .” Chen Jingguo glared at him: "It would be a pleasure for me to fire, but what about the overall situation? Are you still ignoring the overall situation? Do you know where the most unpeaceful thing is in peaceful times? It's the sea! A little carelessness will cause bad diplomatic effects. What kind of captain do you have to be a captain if you don’t have any sense of the overall situation?” "Then watch others bully us. We report to the base, and the base reports to the fleet. Do you still report to the fleet? When you give the order, they will have already left." Chen Jingguo slapped the table with a slap: "You knew why you didn't shoot Zheng Yuanhai down before he opened fire?" Seeing that Chen Jianjun was speechless, he said again, "I'm sorry you don't have the guts." Chen Jianjun looked at his father puzzled: "Your thoughts..." Chen Jingguo snorted and said, "ideas are ideas, regulations are regulations, and soldiers must obey orders to the letter!" "Dad, this matter...isn't it too serious?" Chen Jianjun asked tentatively. "Launching a missile without authorization seriously injured two soldiers, isn't it serious?" Chen Jianjun was about to go back to his own room to sleep, when he was leaving the house, he vaguely heard his father say something vaguely: "You're embarrassing enough." Qin Siting came to the beach alone, sitting on the reef and thinking about her thoughts silently.Although the sea today is very calm and sparkling, her heart is not peaceful.Ever since she knew that Zheng Yuanhai loved Mei Xing'er, she was like a lone wild goose, silently picking up the broken emotions.She is a person who pursues perfection emotionally, so when Zheng Yuanhai proposed to her that day, not only did she not feel a little bit of joy, but she felt bursts of heartache.After several struggles, she still couldn't get rid of the shadow in her heart, so she rejected him.And today's change was beyond her expectation. What would she do if Zheng Yuanhai would really bear criminal responsibility?The thing she couldn't bear to think about was Zheng Yuanhai's mother, how cruel it would be for a person who had experienced ups and downs in her life and was about to end her life to see her son imprisoned... Qin Siting closed her eyes, and a wedding scene appeared in front of her eyes.In front of the festive red candle, Xu Xinfang smiled, smiling so happily, so contentedly, and so carelessly.A red candle, although its light is very faint, may bring the last spiritual comfort to a person who is about to finish his life's bitter journey.Thinking of this, Qin Siting stood up. The door of the guard's shift opened, and Qin Siting walked in. "Si Ting." Zheng Yuanhai stood up. "Yuan Hai, how are you?" "It's pretty good. There are food and drinks, and there are people standing guard." Zheng Yuanhai smiled nonchalantly. Qin Siting's heart moved, she was very familiar with this kind of smile, it was this kind of fearless, unscrupulous and slightly naughty smile that captured her heart back then, thinking of this, she laughed herself. "How about the two wounded soldiers on the 186 ship?" "It's out of danger, don't worry." "Si Ting, thank you for coming to see me." Qin Siting smiled faintly: "Yuan Hai, I didn't come to see you today, but to tell you that I promise to marry you." Zheng Yuanhai raised his head in surprise, and stared at her blankly. Qin Siting smiled: "Everyone agreed, why don't you look a little smiling?" "No..." Zheng Yuanhai finally came to his senses, "No, Si Ting! This is absolutely not possible!" Qin Siting looked at him: "Do you want to go back on your word?" "Si Ting, do you know the ending I may face next?" "I know." Qin Siting's expression was calm and calm, "Maybe I will go to court-martial, I'm not afraid." Zheng Yuanhai shook his head lightly: "Si Ting, to be honest, I am very moved, but I cannot implicate you." "Zheng Yuanhai, let me tell you, it's too late for you to repent now, and you have no way out." Qin Siting took out the marriage certificate, "I have already issued the marriage certificate, no matter what you are now or in the future, I will always When you come out, I will be with you, forever, forever!" Zheng Yuanhai looked at her moved. After coming out of the guard class, Qin Siting went to the IC card phone and dialed her mother's number. "Mom, I decided not to go back to Zhongnan..." The mother on the phone was a little surprised: "Why?" "Because... I'm getting married." Qin's mother didn't speak for a long time on the phone. She could feel that the sudden news caught her off guard. It took a long time before she asked in doubt: "Xiaoting, who did you marry? When did you become friends? Why didn't I hear you say it before?" Pass?" "I... am I reporting this to you?" "Xiaoting, are you joking with mom? Why can't you hear that you are happy when you are getting married?" Qin Siting forced a smile: "Mom! Don't worry! My daughter is old enough to take care of her own affairs. When we register, I'll take him back to see you and Dad." Qin Siting hung up the phone and turned around only to find Zheng Xiuzhu standing behind her: "Xiuzhu?" Zheng Xiuzhu asked anxiously: "Sister Si Ting, you just said... you are going to get married?" Qin Siting nodded. "Then... congratulations!" Zheng Xiuzhu said seriously. Qin Siting asked: "To see your brother?" Zheng Xiuzhu nodded, hesitant to speak. “怎么啦秀竹？” 郑秀竹犹豫着道：“我妈……我妈原来一直以为你和我哥……你要结婚的消息，能不能不让她知道？” 秦思婷笑了一下：“秀竹，你知道我要和谁结婚吗？你哥哥。” 郑秀竹转忧为喜：“真的？太好了！”心情随之又沉静下来，“思婷姐，难为你了。”
