"Don't worry, I have plenty. I want to buy those houses. Help me tell Lou Bancheng and see if he can help."
"Why waste so much money?"
When He Daqing heard this, he was instantly unhappy. To him, it was better to keep it for himself.
"Look at him now. If it rains again, he won't be able to sleep in the same room as us.”
In fact, He Shaoqing thought that his brother still had a chance to start a family. After all, his brother was already in his thirties. One day, he would find a good partner. If he remarried, what would happen to Yuzhu and Yuzhu?
Besides, this pillar is so big. I'm almost an adult. It's time for me to have my own home.
He Daqing also agreed.
"Alright, I'll go see him now."
The next morning, after breakfast, He Shaoqing left the courtyard with Stone. He told Old Li that he was leaving because there were some things that needed him to do in their team.
When they arrived at the temporary headquarters, He Shaoqing first went to the office of the political committee member. The political committee member was on the phone, so He Shaoqing did not disturb him. He just sat down quietly in front of him.
After a while, the Bureau Chief finally put down his phone.
" Captain, the Chief Commander called us yesterday and asked us to gather all the heads of the departments in Four Nine City."
This question made He Shaoqing somewhat difficult to answer. He had only been a soldier and knew nothing about politics.
"Old Li, you can do whatever you want with these things. Why do you have to tell me?”
"You, you are the Guild Leader after all. You have the final say in these matters.”
He Shaoqing thought about it and did not know where to start.
" What about the other guilds? We're the only ones here. We're in need of manpower in 49 City."
Even if they were only temporary, he would not be able to handle everything properly without thousands of people.
"That's not it. The people in front of us haven't been replaced. Instead, they want us to send people to replace this batch of unqualified team members, as well as the team members transferred from other divisions.”
This was still alright. After all, there weren't many people in each team.
"Have you guys marked out your territory? It'll be easier for us to divide it then."
"Alright, the eastern part of the city is ours."
East of the city was her hometown.
"Oh, and the Bureau Chief asked me to call you back today. He said that he has something important to tell you."
"What did the Chief Finger say?"
"No, I have to wait for your call.”
Well, He Shaoqing saw that there was nothing else to do, so he decided to call them immediately.
"Hello, Guild Leader, my name is He Shaoqing."
(Some people might find it a little awkward to address me, so I'll make it clear here. We're all addressing each other privately. After all, we're all old subordinates. In front of so many people, it's the official address.)
"Shaoqing, I called you last night to talk about the expansion of your regiment."
As for the expansion of his own corps, there would be a notice after the new year, but there was no official action yet. Moreover, it was not only his own corps that was being expanded, but also the 4th and 9th regiments. They would combine into one and form a new corps.
"Please speak, I'm all ears."
"I'll tell you about this in two days. The 20th Regiment will be renamed the 38th Division and will be under the 13th Division."
"Alright, I'll go tell the Guild Leader and the others."
"In addition, once the matters in the city are settled, you will lead the army to the south and meet up with the army at Luohe."
The manager of South Copper Gong Alley was a woman who was about the same age as his brother. Her surname was Wang, and she was a cadre of a female art troupe. Her family lived in Sijiu City, and her name was Wang Hongying.
Wang Hongying's husband was from Hebei. They had participated in a battle together. However, Wang Hongying's husband was seriously injured and hospitalized. Wang Hongying probably planned to stay and take care of her husband.
In the battalion commander's office, the officers selected by the 20th Regiment were He Shaoqing and Political Commissar Li.
"Alright, go and prepare. I'll send someone to send you there and arrange your accommodation. If you have any questions, you can come to us.”
In a sense, these people were no longer under He Shaoqing's command. Instead, they had volunteered. In the future, He Shaoqing would become one of their old superiors.
"Alright, Captain, we'll set off now!”
After they left, He Shaoqing picked up two cups from the desk and handed one to the chief of staff.
"Old Li, drink some water. The regiment commander said that our 4th and 9th columns will be merged into one. He called the regiment commander and said that it will be completed in two days.”
Because of the expansion, many people had to adjust. Some were promoted, some were demoted, and Old Li had to be prepared.
"It was the commander's orders. Alright, I'll get someone to arrange it now."
He Shaoqing picked up a document from his desk. These were the people in charge of the East Street. Wang Hongying's name was on it. He Shaoqing flipped open Wang Hongying's name and read it carefully.
In the past, he and Wang Hongying did not have much interaction. The matters of the art troupe were all managed by the political committee. Wang Hongying was also the person in charge of the block where her brother lived. This was also why He Shaoqing valued her so much.
Wang Hongying, male, born on March 1st, 1919, 30 years old, married, from Sijiu City, a staff member of the 20th Regiment Cultural Station. Her husband, Cheng Jun, was thirty-one years old on September 17th, 1918. He was the instructor of Third Company of the 20th Regiment. He had a son named Cheng Kangri, born on July 11, 1940, nine years old.
This file was very detailed. It also recorded Wang Hongying and Cheng Jun's hometown. He still knew Cheng Jun, and he was not his old subordinate. He had served in the 773rd Regiment and left 46 years later.
Through the previous conversation, He Shaoqing had a general understanding of Wang Hongying. She had her own ideas and was very responsible.
He Shaoqing was reading a document when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Please come in."
He Shaoqing thought it would be Big Rock and the political commissar, but when she pushed the door open and entered, she saw Wang Hongying. He Shaoqing looked at her in confusion, not knowing why she was here.
"Captain, I need the approval of the higher-ups."
"Come in, don't worry. I'll definitely help you if there's anything."
Wang Hongying looked troubled and hesitated.
"Captain, it's about my wife, Cheng Jun.”
"As for Cheng Jun, hasn't he been hospitalized recently?”
When Cheng Jun was in Tianjin, he was accidentally hit by a cannonball in his legs. The doctors in the army could not do anything about such a wound. Fortunately, He Shaoqing arrived in time and saved Cheng Jun's life. Later, he was taken to a field hospital and had surgery to remove the debris inside.
"It was all thanks to Captain that time. If not for you, my wife..."
Wang Hongying did not finish her sentence, but He Shaoqing understood. If he did not make a move, Chen Jun would very likely die here.
"Don't say that. As long as I can help, I won't stand by and do nothing. We're all fighting for our country."
He Shaoqing was also forced to be helpless. He could not bear to see a life die in front of him. For this reason, the organization had specially investigated for a long time, but in the end, they found nothing, and the matter was left unsettled.
At that time, He Shaoqing told him that when he was young, he used to follow a Chinese medicine doctor. Even his captain was angry because of He Shaoqing.
He Shaoqing had been by his side since he was nine years old. Even though he did not understand what He Shaoqing's medical skills were, he knew He Shaoqing's character very well. He was definitely not a spy.
It was precisely because of this that He Shaoqing, who should have been promoted, did not change his mind. He Shaoqing also appeared very generous and did not care about the rank of his official position. If Jiang Yi could do it all over again, he would still do the same.
However, because of this incident, both the regiment commander and the regiment commander of the 20th regiment were affected. He Shaoqing still felt very guilty.
"Captain, you know Cheng Jun's injuries. His injuries can't be cured at all. I don't think he will go to the front line again, but his personality is very stubborn.”
He Shaoqing had never considered this problem. For a soldier who had fought in the war, retiring from the army was a living hell.
"We haven't discussed it yet, but you don't have to worry. We'll definitely give your wife a satisfactory answer."
He Shaoqing was a little solemn. There were many people like Cheng Jun in his team. Most of them had been sent to the hospital and were waiting for orders from their superiors. He could not make any decision.
"No, Captain, I'm talking about whether Cheng Jun can leave the hospital. Maybe he'll come around after spending some time with normal people."
" That's not impossible. It's just the current problem. After all, Sijiu City has just been liberated, and there are still many people who need to be relocated."
They had prepared a small apartment for them. It was a single apartment. It was okay for them, but now that they had children, they naturally could not make do.
He Shaoqing thought of the dilapidated houses in his courtyard and dismissed the idea. No matter what, Cheng Jun was a person who had made great contributions. It was a little unfair to let him go to those dilapidated houses.
"Alright, go home now. I'll arrange a new place for you. You can work in South Copper Gong Alley. I'll tell you when I find a suitable place.”
If Wang Hongying wanted Cheng Jun to stay in Beijing, she would have to prepare two bigger rooms for him. At least two bigger rooms, at least as big as his brother's room.
" Thank you, Captain. Goodbye!"
"Alright, it's getting late. Be careful."
He Shaoqing wanted to find Lou Bancheng in a few days. Most of the houses in South Copper Gong Alley belonged to Lou Bancheng. He had to find him for this matter.
Three days later, the size of the army was expanded, but they did not recruit more soldiers. Instead, they reorganized the originally incomplete army.
The 20th Regiment had been annexed by the New 2nd Regiment and the 772nd Regiment. Ever since 1947, the regiment commander of the 772nd Regiment had been removed from his post.
