Although they had agreed on this method, Fang Mei didn’t intend to hurry in mentioning marriage. After all, it was normal for there to be a process from dating to marriage. They first told their family that they were dating, their parents were calmer, and they hadn’t let them down. They would observe Fang Mei’s father’s condition, and they would wait until they really couldn’t delay it.
Fang Mei was someone who looked out for Yang Lei. Fang Mei knew that, even if it was a marriage of convenience, it would still make Yang Lei someone who had been married once. If Yang Lei wanted to get married again in the future, there would more or less be an impact. She also felt sorry for Yang Lei. Fang Mei was very considerate in her actions. Marriage would take place when absolutely necessary. Right now, while they could stall, they would stall first.
Yang Lei didn’t have any objections. He followed Fang Mei’s arrangement.
When his comrade was having a wedding, Yang Lei asked about how the marriage procedures were done in the army. When the political cadre saw him asking about this, they teased: “Xiao Yang, when will it be your turn to hold a wedding?” “Don’t do it quietly, okay?” …
Yang Lei just smiled and glossed it over. No one in the army had ever seen Yang Lei’s girlfriend. They all knew that he had high standards. He had been introduced to many people, but he didn’t like any of them. They were also regiment leaders who took a fancy to him and introduced their own people to him. Last time, when Director Zhou of the military affairs department told him to pick up his daughter, Zhou Yun, there was a hint of this. Yang Lei politely declined all of these, and for this, he offended many people. Thus, those in the regiment said, with a family background and character like Staff Officer Yang, let’s see what kind of goddess he will find in the future.
The 701 regiment routinely had an actual combat drill once a month, at a military exercise field not far from the town. Every routine military drill took about three days. During the rest period, the cadres would bring people to make purchases and go back to reward the soldiers with food and drink. At night, they would lodge at outpost 531 next to the town. Every month at this time, the army would come out to drill for these days. Usually, one couldn’t go into the military camp. At this time, one could meet many officers and soldiers in town. Everyone in the town knew that some small shops specifically did business with the army during these days. Yang Lei was responsible for training. Every time, he had to bring the team out for exercise. During these days of exercise, he would also often go to the town to buy some food, daily necessities, and whatnot.
This time, on the second day of drills, during the noon break, Yang Lei and several cadres went into a small shop in the town to buy things. The owner of the shop was a young person and was recovering from shock as he chatted with acquaintances.
“There was nothing like this before in our town! The robbery in the streets scared me and my wife, and we nearly couldn’t come back last night!”

“Qtb kjr la? Ktfs rmjgfv sbe!”
“Ktgff ylu jcv ajii wfc, jii klat xclnfr! Memx, bcmf atbrf xclnfr mjwf bea, ws klof cfjgis ojlcafv. Kb afii sbe atf ageat, ws ifur kfca kfjx! Ca olgra uijcmf, atfs kfgf gfmlvlnlrar, cba qfaas atlfnfr. P atlcx atfs fnfc tjv atf mbegjuf ab xlii!”
The little boss’s words attracted the people in the store to all gather around and listen.
“That’s too scary! What happened later?”
“Speaking of it, I really have good luck. Later, there was someone crossing the street who just happened to pass by. That brother, fuck, was really amazing! You all didn’t see it. Three people with knives couldn’t beat the lone and unarmed man! I didn’t even clearly see what was going on, and he beat those three down to the ground. Their knives flew a few meters away. The people were kicked one by one, and they rolled on the ground for a long time, unable to get up!”
When the little boss recalled the scene from last night, his mouth was foaming.
“I don’t believe that it was the skill of a plainclothes cop! Even a plainclothes cop couldn’t beat him!”
“What kind of person is so fierce? Is he from our town?”
The talk made people curious.
“It was too dark. I didn’t really see his face clearly, but that figure and stature are definitely not from our town, but it looked a little familiar.”
The little boss thought that he had seen it before.
“Was he a soldier? Wasn’t yesterday a drill day? It could be some soldier who slipped away to play in civilian clothes.”
In the hearts of the people in the town, only soldiers had the courage to fight against people with knives.
“…Now that you say it, I remember! I’ve seen this person before! That’s right, he came over these last few days for army training. He bought cigarettes at my place before! He’s reliable. He may really be a soldier!”
On the other side, Yang Lei and several cadres heard it all. The little boss even greeted the officers with a smile: “Thank you, people’s soldiers!”
Hearing this, the officers were all quite puzzled.
“It’s probably not our soldiers, right?” a company commander turned his head and muttered.
“In the evening, cadres have to ask for leave to come out. It is impossible for soldiers to leave the outhouse. At the emergency assembly last night, no one was missing.”
“We are the only cadres. We were all there last night. That definitely was not it!”
“Well, we were praised for nothing! We got the better end of the deal.”
“Yang Lei, it wasn’t you, was it? You won the championship in the individual combat of our regiment!” a comrade joked.
Yang Lei was paying and didn’t take notice.
“You don’t say. I really lack a silk banner. I’ll go and look for those three, and do this deed of merit!”
Yang Lei made everyone laugh with his words.
Ah, boy…..
