The remaining soldiers all lived in the lower city area, which saved Tianyang and the others a lot of effort.
When the nameplates were delivered to the families, the reactions of these soldiers' families were different. Some were in pain, some were numb, some blamed, and some asked Han Shu if he needed more soldiers, and if there were other children in the family who could serve in the army... .
By the time they returned to the upper city, it was already evening. Lan Guang was driving on the highway to the upper city. Han Shu leaned against the car window, looking at the monotonous "scenery" in the tunnel, and suddenly said a number inexplicably: "142..."
"Captain, what did you say?" Tianyang looked at Han Shu with some concern.
Han Shu's breathing sank slightly. "142 people. Since I became the captain, I have given away more than a hundred nameplates."
It was a simple sentence, but something called "heaviness" was written between the lines.
It was so heavy that Tianyang couldn't utter a word.
"No matter how many times I experience this kind of thing, I can never get used to it."
Han Shu pressed his neck with his hand. The captain moved his cervical vertebrae, making a slight "crunching" sound. "I should have learned from Lida and the others and let the military take charge of this kind of work from the beginning. That way, it should be easier."
"But I always feel that since I am the leader of this team, I should shoulder all the responsibility, whether it is glory or shame, whether it is survival or death."
"Tianyang, if you become the captain someday, don't do the same as me and do these thankless tasks."
Han Shu laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Tian Yang neither agreed nor rejected it passionately. He chose to remain silent and just asked: "Captain, where are you going? Shall we take you back to headquarters?"
Han Shu shook his head: "Why should I go back to the headquarters? I don't plan to work overtime. I finally got back, and I would rather die than work overtime."
"Where do you live then?"
Han Shu took out a cigarette, but didn't smoke it. He just bit it in his mouth: "Let's go to the family residence. Suddenly, I want to go home and take a look."
"correct."
"Don't die, kid."
"You're going to die, and I don't know who to send the nameplate to."
Tian Yang sighed: "Captain, could you please stop being such a pessimist."
Han Shu then smiled and said, "Don't worry, what I said never works."
"I hope so."
... ...
The next day, 11 a.m.
Tianyang, dressed in casual clothes, drove alone to the "Green Light Restaurant", a high-end restaurant located on the commercial street in the upper city. It is widely sought after by young people in the fortress because of its frequent introduction of novel dishes.
But Tianyang has never come here once.
I came here today because I had an appointment. Well, or was I invited
"How many gentlemen?"
After entering the door, a cute and playful waiter came to greet him. Tianyang coughed and said, "A friend has already booked cabin No. 3."
The big room is a private room, an independent space with a dedicated chef to provide services to the guests.
When he pushed open the door of the big room, Tianyang saw Qianhong. She was dressed simply and looked very well-behaved today, and it was hard to associate her with the girl on the battlefield.
She was even wearing a cute hat. Tianyang was almost certain that these clothes were either picked for her by Xiaoniao or lent to her by Xiaoniao!
If it was Qianhong herself, she would definitely come out wearing the Night Walker uniform, for the reason of saving trouble.
Sure enough, Xiao Niao was sitting next to her, dressed the same as Qianhong's twin sister.
Seeing Tianyang, he waved vigorously.
Tianyang was led by the waiter to the big room, which was indeed... very big. It was just a place for Tianyang and his two companions, but it took up the space of five tables in the hall.
The tables and chairs for guests to dine are placed by the window, through which one can see the street view outside. There is also a screen nearby as a partition, providing a semi-enclosed space.
The rest of the room was occupied by a small open kitchen, where the chef and two assistants were busy preparing meals for Tianyang and the other two.
At the dinner table, the three of them stared at each other, unable to find words to say for a while.
In fact, it was Tianyang who took the initiative to propose today's meeting, but he originally only wanted to meet Qianhong alone, and the agreed meeting place was not this kind of high-end restaurant.
But Qianhong told Xiaoniao about this, and when Xiaoniao heard that the agreed location was actually in the park, he volunteered to plan and arrange it, and the result turned out to be what it is now.
Xiaoniao coughed dryly: "Why don't you guys chat first, I'll go order the food."
In fact, she had already ordered a rich lunch, but she didn't mind ordering another one if necessary.
At worst, just pack up and go home!
After the bird left, Tianyang adjusted his breathing and looked at Qianhong with a firm opinion as if he was facing a strong enemy: "I have something to tell you about marriage and babies."
Qianhong sat up straight, closed her legs slightly, fiddled with the corners of her clothes, and acted like a well-behaved girl.
But Tianyang saw through it at a glance. This must have been taught by Xiaoniao. The signs of performance were too obvious!
"Go ahead and talk. I'm mentally prepared." Qianhong looked at her knees, her voice soft, looking like a delicate girl.
Well, this terrible line must have been taught by Xiao Niao...
Also, why do you have to act like a weak woman? You are not that weak.
Tian Yang said helplessly: "Remember before at the base, I said that we must talk about marriage and babies after we come back, right?"
"Yeah." Qianhong nodded, being extremely well-behaved.
Tianyang had the urge to touch his forehead. He couldn't handle Qianhong's reaction. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be playing the role of a heartless man.
"Qianhong, I grew up in the fortress. I can't suddenly marry and have children with someone I've only known for a few days like you do. I admit that during the fortress war, I didn't refuse immediately in order to get you to join, so this may have caused your misunderstanding."
"I apologize to you and am willing to bear any blame. But I have to make it clear to you that I can't stay with you like this."
After saying this, Tianyang felt a little nervous because he didn't know how Qianhong would react.
As a result, Qian Hong just said "hmm" and then asked: "Do you hate me?"
Tian Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "That won't happen."
"Can we be friends then?"
This was another question that surprised Tianyang.
"Of course... Of course."
Qian Hong raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sweet smile: "That's fine, let's start by making friends, I will make you like me!"
The girl stood up and held out her hand.
It’s good to make friends, but why do I feel that you are still obsessed with having children!
Moreover, this roundabout strategy seems to be the style of the bird...
Tianyang looked at a girl who was pretending to be ordering food seriously. The girl's body immediately tensed up and she pointed at the menu in a mechanical voice: "I want this, and that..."
It seems that there is no doubt that the bird has instilled some strange knowledge into people.

Yang sighed in his heart. Although the relationship was still not completely clarified, it was better to start as friends than being pestered by Qianhong to get married and have children.
After lunch, Xiaoniao pulled Qianhong up, saying that they were going to enjoy their "girl time", and then parted ways with Tianyang.
Tianyang returned to the parking lot alone. While driving, he saw two suspicious shadows flash by behind him through the car window.
He smiled slightly. In fact, he had already noticed these two crappy stalkers when he returned to the apartment yesterday.
These two people should be sent by the fortress to monitor him to make sure that there is nothing abnormal about him, although in terms of possession, the fortress had done the necessary checks before returning from Red Mud Town.
But just like Mu Qing said, no matter it is the fortress or the church, they will treat the "Invisible Ones" with caution and will never let down their guard just because of one or two inspections.
Tianyang got into the car and smiled bitterly. The time for the secret party was almost up, and he wanted to attend the party and get information about Dong Fang.
But being monitored, even if the means of monitoring are not very sophisticated, is also a trouble.
We have to think of a way.
Tianyang started the car and deliberately passed by the two observers. When the blue light car went away, the two observers poked their heads out from behind a pillar and hurriedly got into another car.
"Zhifeng, you said we are lieutenants after all, and you are about to be promoted to captain. Now you want us to monitor a kid. I don't know what the superiors are thinking. They don't tell us the details. They only ask us to monitor his daily life and report every day."
"The worst part is that they asked us not to get too close, not to install surveillance equipment, and not to send assistants to us. They said the fewer people who know about this, the better. Tell me, what does this mean?"
In the car, a younger officer was complaining bitterly.
The other officer, whom he called Zhifeng, was older and had a more steady demeanor.
Driving the car, with the Blue Wind Magnetic Energy Vehicle in front far behind him, Zhi Feng whispered, "Okay, Zi'an, stop complaining. Even if the superiors don't say anything, they must have their own considerations. All we need to do is follow orders. Besides, this job is not heavy. At least, it's much easier than war and exploring the reverse world."
Zi'an folded his arms, looking dissatisfied: "But it's too unchallenging. But what's wrong with that kid? He actually had dinner with the eldest lady of the Yun family."
"That's none of our business."
"Aren't you curious at all?"
"Not curious."
"Zhifeng, you're too boring."
"Zi'an, you're too noisy."
... ...
Two more days passed.
It's already night.
It was nine o'clock. Two iron-wall officers hid in a room with a balcony facing the bedroom of an apartment.
That is Tianyang's apartment.
The lieutenant named Zi'an was looking through a telescope at Tianyang's bedroom. After a moment, he saw a figure walking into the bedroom.
"That boy came back and took a really long time to take a bath."
He casually handed the telescope to his colleague. Zhifeng picked up the telescope and saw Tianyang in the bedroom with a towel on his head, wiping his hair with the towel.
Then he crawled into bed, apparently intending to go to bed.
Zhifeng put down the telescope and let out a breath. After a few days, even he began to feel bored.
Unfortunately, the two officers received orders not to get too close to Tianyang, let alone install surveillance equipment. Otherwise, they would find that Tianyang, who was lying on the bed at the moment, was a little abnormal... ...
