There was nothing in the small and cramped room except a small bed and a stool.
Zhou Dajun has been left here for the whole day.
He was able to climb to the position of deputy battalion commander, which shows that he is quite scheming and knows what kind of situation he is in now.
Although he was confused about what exactly happened, it was obviously far from being as simple as a fight between his wife and mother.
At first, Zhou Dajun was able to sit still. After all, he felt that he had not done anything wrong, so he patiently waited for the result.
But I didn't expect that the wait would last a whole day.
The confusion and uneasiness in my heart also expand infinitely as time goes by.
By now, even though he was certain that he had never done anything to let the organization down, he could no longer bear being ignored for such a long time.
Just when his patience ran out and he began to pace back and forth anxiously in the small room, he finally heard footsteps outside the door.
Zhou Dajun paused, staring at the door hopefully.
When he heard the sporadic sound of doors opening again, he knew someone was coming. He took a deep breath and calmed his restless emotions.
After seeing who came in, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked anxiously: "Political Commissar, what is going on? What did I do wrong?"
Chen Gang looked at his former subordinate with mixed emotions. He raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Seeing this, Zhou Dajun took a deep breath, frowned tightly, and sat down on the bed patiently.
Chen Gang also sat on the only stool, and behind him, there were two soldiers following him. It was unclear whether they were keeping an eye on him or were worried that someone might make a move.
After sitting down, Chen Gang did not beat around the bush: "Da Jun, do you know your two daughters?"
These words really made Zhou Dajun confused. He was not naive enough to think that in such an environment, the leader would have the leisure to discuss children's issues with him.
Although he already had a bad feeling in his heart, he still shook his head: "The children have been growing up with their mother. They are not close to me and rarely talk to me."
At this point, he asked again in confusion: "What happened to my two daughters?"
Chen Gang did not answer directly, but looked at him and asked: "Don't you think your daughter's personality has changed?" After all, according to the information he learned from Comrade Yao Dongmei, Zhou Wenwen and Zhou Lili used to be very lively.
This time, Zhou Dajun did not rush to answer, but recalled it seriously.
But in the end, the images of his daughter in his memory were mostly blurry. In addition, he had been in the army for many years and had only seen the child a few times, so he really didn't notice anything wrong.
Zhou Dajun didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Although he favored boys over girls and was not very close to his daughters, they had never lacked food and drink. Compared to those families who did not consider girls as human beings, his two children could still go to school, so they already had a good life.
But he was not stupid. Since the political commissar asked this, his crisis this time must be because of his two daughters.
Although he felt bad that the two girls got into trouble, no matter what the reason was, he had to protect himself first.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dajun pondered for a few seconds before he said tactfully, "I seldom talk to my two children at home, and I really don't know what they did, but one of them is only 10 years old, and the other is even younger, only 6 years old. Political Commissar, if they really did something wrong, is there any misunderstanding?"
Hearing this, Chen Gang's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he was completely disappointed with Zhou Dajun. He said this decently, like a good father protecting his child, but how could he not hear the deeper meaning in his words
He was just worried that Zhou Wenwen and Zhou Lili had really done something wrong and would implicate him.
At this point, Chen Gang had almost nothing to say. Perhaps, he shouldn't have made this trip just because he was a subordinate.
He stood up and looked at Zhou Dajun's puzzled look. He was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Someone should come to interrogate you later. I hope you tell the truth."
After saying this, he thought for a moment, and then, in front of Zhou Dajun's incredible eyes, he said simply and clearly: "The little daughter who has lived under the same roof with you for nearly half a year is actually an enemy spy, and a man. Zhou Dajun, you had the opportunity to make a contribution."
After saying this, Chen Gang turned around and left. However, before leaving, he looked back at Zhou Dajun, who had not recovered from his shock, and sighed, "Also, your eldest daughter Zhou Wenwen is 11 years old this year, and your youngest daughter Zhou Lili is 7 years old this year."
After the door was closed, one of the accompanying soldiers said, "Commissar Chen, you just said something about meritorious service."
Chen Gang suppressed his complicated emotions and smiled: "Ah? What's wrong?"
Because of Zhou Dajun's negligence, their entire 836th unit was in trouble, and he was just taking a small revenge.
Seeing his innocent face, the young soldier choked on the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Nothing."
Seeing this, Chen Gang smiled again, turned around and continued to move forward, but his mind quickly recalled his conversation with Zhou Dajun.
No matter what, he still didn't want Zhou Dajun to betray the troops.
"The political commissars have as many tricks as a sieve. You just need to know the answer. Why are you asking?" Another soldier nudged the soldier who asked the question with his elbow and reminded him in a low voice in an unhappily manner.
Chen Gang heard it.
There have been undercurrents on the island these days.
During this period, many military vehicles and unfamiliar officers from other troops also arrived.
Although the military families in the family compound were extremely curious, they did not dare to say anything because the men repeatedly warned them not to.
But the atmosphere among the military families is definitely different now. There are fewer groups of three or five chatting together as in the past. Now, except for necessary things, they basically stay at home for fear of getting into trouble.
Even when they get together occasionally, the topics are always about family matters.
Huihui had been gone for four days, and no matter how worried Tian Mi was, she still had to live her life.
She didn't let her third sister Xinxin live with her, not because she was not welcome, but because her eldest sister needed her help more.
Although she was still staying at home to recuperate after giving birth these days, Aunt Gu would go to the kitchen with other military families to get food every day. In addition, her eldest sister would come over for a stroll every day with Chengcheng in her arms, so she was not completely ignorant of any news that could be discussed outside.
For example, yesterday, after nearly a month of busy work, the wheat finally completed the final drying and was successfully stored in the warehouse.
For example, after Yao Dongmei stayed in the health center for about a week, she went directly to Aunt Mei's house to recuperate.
Although she said that she was in a special situation and needed someone to take care of her, no one was stupid. It was from this point that Tian Mi was more certain that this incident was not a small matter. Otherwise, why would she take her to Wang Lu's house to recuperate? Wouldn't it be safer to ask someone to take care of her during the confinement period, just like the eldest sister did before
"Zhenzhu and Beibei will be one month old soon. Logically, we should hold a full-month banquet. What are your plans?" Recently, her husband Chen Gang is busy and comes home very late every day. Tian Yu simply takes the children to her second sister's house for dinner. Of course, the main purpose is to accompany her sister.
Tian Mi came back to his senses from his thoughts, pointed at his son, and emphasized again: "His name is Xiao Beike, a seafood, not Beibei."
"Oh, they are all the same. Beike is hard to pronounce. My name is Beibei Shunliu." Tian Yu said that it was just unreasonable.
Tian Mi rolled her eyes when she heard this: "There are also people who call him Er Gou Zi, isn't that more catchy?"
Tian Yu said "Hey!" and laughed, "What do you know? People with cheap names are easier to raise. It's not wrong to call our nephew Er Gouzi."
Hearing this, Tian Mi waved her hands repeatedly and tried to change the subject with a look of defeat: "No, no, sister, what did you say just now? The full moon banquet, right?" "Yes, what do you think?" As September was approaching, the temperature was getting colder day by day. Tian Yu had been busy preparing winter clothes for the children recently. Time was running out. It would snow in mid-October, and then she would have to store vegetables in the cellar. There was a lot of work to do. Look, while chatting with her sister, the sweater in her hands was knitted.
"What can I think? Don't I have to do the confinement period for two children? Besides, we have to wait for Huihui from my family to come back, right?" When she was in confinement, Huihui had a sterilization. They will only have two children, so of course they want the whole family to be there for the full-month banquet.
Tian Yu was not surprised that his sister and brother-in-law had a good relationship. "That's fine. I'll tell everyone for you later."
Tian Mi thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't red eggs given out on a full-moon day? Should we give out the eggs first if we don't prepare the meal?"
Tian Yu pondered for a moment and looked at Aunt Gu who was picking beans beside him: "Do we have enough eggs at home?"
Aunt Gu shook her head: "It's not enough. How about I go and order it from the quartermaster tomorrow?"
"Order it. It doesn't need to be too much. Two per family will do."
"enough?"
"That's enough. What's the situation these days? When my Guoguo and Chengcheng were one month old, they were given two babies. Everyone does the same."
Tian Mi didn't understand: "I think I have two children at home."
"How about four in one family?" Tian Yu had never encountered such a situation. After all, except for her second sister, she had never seen a family giving birth to twins.
Tian Mi made the decision: "Just give away 4."
“.”
Red eggs are a sign of good fortune.
So in the afternoon, when the quartermaster temporarily added 100 eggs, he was not unhappy. After agreeing to pick them up at around 11 o'clock the next morning, he happily told Tian Yu not to forget to send him a few eggs to add to the joy, as they were twins, a boy and a girl, who wouldn't want them.
Tian Yu naturally agreed. Even if the quartermaster didn't say it, she would remind the girls to send a few to others.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, when Aunt Gu took the money and was about to go to the kitchen, Zhou Jianshe came to the door carrying eggs.
Seeing Zhou Jianshe, who looked exhausted, Tian Mi was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why did you come back so soon?" What should I do with my elder sister-in-law? What about sister-brother love
Zhou Jianshe still had to report to Brigade Wang. He had just taken the kitchen team's car and brought the eggs along. "Brigade Wang urgently called me, so I came back. Sister-in-law, I have to go now. If you have anything to say, we can talk later."
Seeing this, Tian Mi became even more worried.
What on earth happened? ! ~
Tian Mi’s dilemma did not last long.
That afternoon, all the people in the family quarters were taken away by a group of soldiers.
Even Tian Mi, who was in confinement after giving birth, was not spared.
In fact, her body has fully recovered, and even the fat on her belly has basically returned to its original place. But she knew that her elder sister was worried about her, so when she went out, she still honestly wore a hat and scarf.
At the beginning of September, I wrapped myself tightly, then linked arms with the older sister in the crowd and followed everyone towards the troops.
Because there were many soldiers with solemn expressions around, even though they were panicked, everyone cooperated silently under the comfort of Aunt Mei.
The group was taken to the place where the officers usually held meetings.
Then, under the arrangement of the soldiers, everyone sat together.
Then, Aunt Mei was the first to be taken to the next room.
Seeing this, Tian Yu was nervous, but he still whispered to comfort his sister: "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise they wouldn't have called us all here. If there was something wrong, they would have been taken away secretly."
Tian Mi naturally understood, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation in her past and present life. As a law-abiding citizen, it was inevitable that she would be nervous.
She held her elder sister's hand in return. She had not noticed it before, but now she realized that her elder sister's palm was cold, and she was obviously not as calm as she appeared to be. Tian Mi quickly comforted her: "It's okay, I'm very brave, but I'm a little worried about my third sister. She's not much braver than a rabbit, and I don't know if she will cry."
Tian Yu was speechless: "How could I cry? Third sister is much braver now. She wants to be a military doctor in the future."
The two sisters were joking around together, and time passed quickly.
Maybe it was because they had been informed that there were children in their family, or maybe it was because they were lucky, the two sisters didn't have to wait long, about half an hour, and the third one called Tian Yu.
After the eldest sister left with the solemn-looking young soldier, Tian Mi comforted Aunt Gu again, telling her not to be afraid and to tell the truth no matter what people asked.
She had a feeling that she would be the next one.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Tian Mi was called.
She patted Aunt Gu's hand to make sure she wasn't too nervous, then quickly followed the little soldier's pace.
Before entering the room, she was still a little nervous, but when she saw that in addition to the two strange middle-aged men, Brigade Commander Wang and Political Commissar Liu were also in the room, Tian Mi immediately felt relieved and greeted several leaders.
Seeing that she was young but not panicked, a man who was about the same age as Wang Lu smiled. However, he was probably used to being serious, so he still looked fierce when he smiled. He looked at Tian Mi and said, "You are not nervous."
Hearing this, Tian Mi also smiled and said, "I'm nervous too."
The man laughed and looked at Wang Lu beside him: "Old Wang, this is Commander Lou's daughter-in-law, right?"
Brigade Wang was not going to tolerate him: "You are asking questions even though you already know the answer. Hurry up. Comrade Xiaotian is still in confinement after giving birth. There are twins in the room. Let them go after you've asked them."
The man was surprised: "Oh? Commander Lou has grandchildren? And they are twins, a boy and a girl?" This is a bit infuriating.
Brigade Wang was also very happy that his old leader had grandchildren, boasting: "Yes! Boy and girl twins, the boy looks like his father, the girl looks like her mother."
Seeing him so proud, the man was speechless: "He's not your grandson."
Wang Lu: "I told you to ask quickly!"
The man didn't mind being angry and humiliated. He looked at Tian Mi and asked the same questions as usual, such as some questions about the family situation, some things from childhood, and information about teachers and classmates at school, etc.
During that time, this person clearly did not do anything, but Tian Mi felt that when those eyes looked at people, they were like sharp blades that could pierce all false things, making people feel cold on their backs.
In ten minutes, she was asked quite a lot of questions. Fortunately, she still had the memories of her original body. Although her palms were sweaty, she was able to answer them fluently.
After leaving the room through another door and seeing his elder sister, Tian Mi already had a rough guess in his mind about this turmoil.
And this speculation was soon confirmed.
Two days later, when Chen Gang brought Zhou Jianshe back for lunch at noon, he briefly told him what had happened recently.
No matter what the three sisters of the Tian family thought, they never expected that there would be spies disguised as children who sneaked in.
Tian Mi was the first to react: "Brother-in-law, is it okay to tell us about this?"
Chen Gang smiled and said, "It's okay. Brigade Commander Wang and Political Commissar Liu have discussed this with the troops above. In order to prevent this from happening again, they have decided to make it public. When Old Lou and Old Tang come back, the troops will hold a meeting on this matter. But it's enough for you to know about it. Don't go out and discuss it for now."
Tian Yu covered her chest, obviously she didn't expect the spy to be so close to her. After all, she seemed to have given candies to the two daughters of the Zhou family. Thinking about it now, she broke out in a cold sweat: "What about Zhou Dajun and Ma Erhua? And what about Yao Dongmei? What about her little daughter? Oh my god! No, I'm so angry. What kind of spy is that? God damn it. How could he do that to a 7-year-old kid!"
"What's the point of talking about humanity with that kind of person?" Zhou Jianshe sneered.
Chen Gang, with the fat girl Guoguo sitting on his lap, patted his wife's back to comfort her: "This morning, Zhou Dajun, Ma Erhua and the spy were taken away by the troops above. If they really didn't know, they will most likely be sent back to their hometowns. Zhou Dajun can't be a soldier anymore, and he won't have the chance to transfer to civilian work. Even if he returns to the countryside, he will have to live under the surveillance of others. This kind of life will last for at least several years."
At this point, Chen Gang sighed again. To be honest, Zhou Dajun had suffered an unexpected disaster, but if he could find out that something was wrong and report it to his superiors and make a contribution, he could be promoted to a higher level.
Opportunities and crises coexist. If he had cared a little more about his daughter, things would not have come to this point.
Tian Mi had already figured out the purpose of her husband's mission from her brother-in-law's words. Although not knowing the full picture was the most disturbing thing, she didn't feel any better now that she knew his movements, because he was a spy.
Seeing that she looked a little dazed, Zhou Jianshe comforted her: "Sister-in-law, Lao Lou is the most skilled person on our island, otherwise Brigade Wang would not have let him go, don't worry."
Chen Gang was speechless. It would be better not to comfort him at all.
Tian Mi pursed her lips, met everyone's worried gazes, and smiled, "I'm fine, I'm just a little curious, what is the purpose of the spy sneaking in?"
The leaders also allowed this to be discussed, so Chen Gang said, "For the information of all the officers." As for his plan to poison the troops before leaving, he did not tell them because he was worried about scaring his wife.
"What do you want this for?" Tian Yu didn't understand.
Tian Mi had experienced the era of information explosion. Although he did not understand conspiracies, he had heard of them a little: "Do you want to infiltrate the officers? For example, control their families first to control the soldiers?"
Tian Yu and Tian Xin both gasped.
Chen Gang looked at his second sister approvingly: "Your guess is not impossible."
Although he was praised, Tian Mi did not feel happy at all. After all, the fact that the spy dared to play such a big game meant that the power behind him was not small, and he would face extremely vicious criminals every time.
"By the way, if you have time recently, you can also help think about it. The enemy spy stole some information before. Although the information is not important, he has never explained where the information went. If this is not clarified, people will always worry whether he has collaborators. On weekdays, he cannot go to the army, and most of his activities are in the family area. You can also help keep an eye on him. If he has no accomplices, then where did he hide the information?"
Tian Mi and the others naturally agreed to this matter. After all, military dependents do know more about the family quarters than the men at home.
The family gathered together, eating and chatting. Tian Mi's mood gradually stabilized, and she also had extra energy to care about other issues: "Now that you are back, what about Sister Nan? Is she divorced? How about work?"
Zhou Jianshe coughed lightly. "It's normal for a soldier to be called back urgently. I didn't stay in Beijing for two days. Sister Nan got divorced. As for work, she should apply for a transfer. There are so many hospitals in Beijing. I didn't even have time to ask where I was transferred to before I rushed back."
Hearing this, Tian Mi frowned subconsciously: "Then before the transfer is approved, Sister Nan will have to stay in the same hospital with scumbags?" How disgusting is this
This made Zhou Jianshe excited. He smiled with his big white teeth: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. The day after they divorced, I put a sack on him and beat him up. His leg was broken. He needs to rest for at least a few months."
"It's a good decision, but it's too easy for him." Tian Mi hated this kind of people the most.
Zhou Jianshe raised his head and drank all the soup in the bowl before continuing, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, that Shen is very bold. Seven years is enough to encourage his inflated mind. He didn't dare to do it in the past few years, but since last year, he has had a mistress outside, and the mistress is pregnant. Uncle Lou already has evidence. When Sister Nan leaves the current hospital, Uncle Lou will arrange for someone to expose Shen's affair. By then, he will have to do labor reform for many years at least."
Tian Mi was really shocked: "How dare he?"
Zhou Jianshe smiled sarcastically, "Why not? His parents are keeping it a secret for him. The woman lives with his parents. They say she is his cousin and her husband died. Her in-laws don't like her, so they took her in temporarily. In fact, her identity has been checked out. She is a distant relative from Shen Ziru's mother's side. Maybe seeing that Nanjie hasn't given birth, his parents are anxious. I don't know how to coax her. Anyway, the woman's belly is already quite big, and I heard it's a boy."
Very good, there is something even more outrageous. Tian Mi wiped his face and pointed at his head: "Is it that they are not very effective here?"
This time, Zhou Jianshe didn't need to say anything, Chen Gang shook his head with a smile: "It's because he is too smart that he thinks what he does is perfect. Think about it, 7 years. In fact, from another perspective, not only did he want to make Comrade Lou Yannan useless, but Comrade Lou Yannan also had no intention of indulging him. People will change."
Tian Mi believes that people will change. Take herself for example. She has become much softer since she got married.
Because of my husband and because of my children.
Thinking of this, Tian Mi couldn't help but start to dizzy again.
Huihui said that he would be back in half a month at the earliest. Now half of the time has passed. I don’t know if he will be back safely next week.
