The breeze could not stop Brother Xu's daily morning training. He was running around bareback, greeting the sentries from time to time. There was also the retired old lady who had been deified by the soldiers, who had brought her adopted daughter, Yukiko, to water and fertilize her crops.

In fact, Zhao Gang was a man who didn't know how to react, and because of the strict rules, he became very stiff as soon as he was on duty. He didn't talk to Shao Xi, fearing that he would be accused of being on duty and talking to him. Shao stared at him a few times. His expression was particularly serious, and he was staring intently at the guard area, like a statue.

"Little Shao, where are you from?" The old lady had already finished her work of applying fertilizer in the flood. She moved a Mazar and sat at the sentry post. Together with her little Ying, she silently watched Shao Xi.

"Auntie, I'm from Shandong!" Shao Xi politely replied. In fact, Shao Xi had an inexplicable admiration for the old revolutionary teacher, especially since the veterans had brought this old lady's story to light, saying that she had participated in the anti-American relief campaign, had also participated in the counterattack war against Vietnam, had been shot seven times, and was one of the few female officers in the army. Her husband was also known to her on the battlefield, which gave her an unspeakable good impression of being a soldier.

"Oh, then we are from the same village!" the old woman said in surprise.

"Really? Auntie, you're also from Shandong?" Shao Xi did not expect her to be from Shandong. Her accent did not resemble her, perhaps because she had lived in J city for too long, her words were almost unable to detect the tone of her hometown.

"I'm from the Shandong province of Heze. I joined the Red Army at the age of twelve. I travelled far and wide, and wore military uniform for over 40 years!" "Speaking of her military experience, the old lady seemed to have sunk into deep thoughts. At that time, my eldest son was killed in a counterattack against Vietnam. My youngest son was rescued by a flood in the middle of a flood. The body was not even found. However, I have never regretted this, because my two sons have dedicated their lives to the motherland. "Now, I think of all the soldiers as my sons. I don't want to talk to you young soldiers, so I feel bad …" As the old lady spoke, her eyes sparkled.

Shao Xi couldn't help but be surprised. So it turned out that she had two sons.

A sense of respect arose within him. Even the silent Zhao Gang was affected by the old lady's words. Auntie, just take us as your sons! " Zhao Gang said to the old lady excitedly.

"The old lady smiled and sized them up." Now that the country is rich and powerful, and the treatment of the soldiers has been improved, we should be more grateful to the country for taking care of us, and for taking care of every shift, and for being on sentry number three, there was a veteran, and when he was on duty, he ran off with a little girl from nearby and went to the highway to chat. I've said a few times that he wouldn't listen, and he even thought that I was meddling with his business. As the old lady spoke meaningfully, Shao Xi felt that he could find out the beauty of her past from her wrinkles. She was old, and her heart was not old.

Yes, perhaps most people would think that the old lady was nosy, that she had already retired for so many years, and still meddled with the matters of the sentries. But Shao could see that in her heart, there was also a sense of responsibility towards the army towards the country.

Later on, Shao Xi found out that the old lady's surname was Cheng and that her comrades all called her Auntie Cheng. While she was raising flowers and planting grass, she was also concerned about the safety of the Ximen Mountain, which made the soldiers revere her.

Actually, in the discipline of the guards, it was forbidden to chat with the surrounding crowd, but this auntie Cheng was an exception. In fact, every word of this old lady was a living military textbook. In addition, the investigation cadres were very cordial when they saw Auntie Cheng. Chief of the four big teams — Chief Liu ShiMiao also affectionately called her Auntie Cheng, while Auntie Cheng called Chief Liu (Chief of the four big teams was surnamed Liu, with the rank of Colonel).

Shao Xi gradually understood why Auntie Cheng was called the 'Supervisor' of the Four Great Teams. In terms of appearance, she was more like a wandering teacher, shuttling back and forth between the various posts on Mountain Dream's mountain. She moved the soldiers, bringing a heartfelt patriotism and love towards the soldiers, deeply infecting them.

However, this Aunt Cheng had a selfish side to her.

It was Shao Xi's first day on duty alone, and Auntie Cheng, as usual, sat at the sentry post with her goddaughter after work.

"How old is Shao?" Aunt Cheng asked.

"He's 19 this year!" Shao Xi said proudly.

"What kind of education level?" Aunt Cheng asked again.

"High school!" Shao Xi didn't understand why Auntie Cheng was asking these questions, but he answered anyway.

"Have you talked to him yet?" Aunt Cheng asked with a smile.

Shao gently shook her head. Auntie Cheng had been very happy ever since, with a smile on her face, and she had actually talked to Shao about her current family situation — her family of three, her family of three, her old partner, and her two homes in J City with nearly a million dollars in savings, and their biggest concern now was Xiao Ying, who had stopped attending high school at the age of eighteen, but still liked to study and read an English book over and over again, and those who didn't know it thought there was something wrong with the girl's head.

Shao Xi didn't know why she would tell him this. Two days later, Dong Xiaobin called him to the gunroom and asked him in all seriousness, "Shao Xi, you're in trouble!" Shao Xi was puzzled. Dong Xiaobin continued in a low voice, "Auntie Cheng told me that she wants you to be her son-in-law. She thinks that you're steady and have some cultural connotations. She's very confident in you!"

Shao Xi almost fainted and said to Dong Xiao Bin: "Leader, you're still laughing, aren't you hurting me? "The military has clearly stated that it is not allowed to find a person in the base. I would not dare to wade into this muddy water!" Shao Xi shook his head vigorously.

"Are you stupid!?" Dong Xiao Bin pointed at Shao Xi and continued, "This Auntie Cheng is rich. Think about it, they are already seventy to eighty years old and only have one precious daughter left. Wouldn't that mean that the entire family would belong to you in the future?" You must have had a big advantage! "

Although Shao Xi could deduce something after recalling Auntie Cheng's words, his heart was in a mess. Shao Xi didn't know how to respond. What virtue or ability did he have to make Auntie Cheng set her sights on him like this?

What Shao Xi did not expect was that when he went on sentry duty again, Aunt Cheng actually confessed to him directly. She said that Xiao Ying had a good impression of him, and she wanted to find a son-in-law to take care of Xiao Ying for the rest of her life. She felt that Shao Xi was a steady man, experienced and promising, and therefore wanted him to be her son-in-law. Besides, Auntie Cheng said bluntly, their family has two houses in J City and a million dollars in deposits, which will all be Shao Xi's and Xiao Ying's. Also, if Shao wants to stay in the army, she can get in touch and send him directly to the military academy … Everything was quite tempting, but Shao Xi didn't dare to think too much about it. Firstly, military discipline was not allowed, and secondly, he already had his own lover.

Because of what she said, Shao Xi had a prejudice against Auntie Cheng. His previous good impression and respect towards her had been diluted. Wasn't she misleading him and making a mistake? Therefore, Shao has always been indifferent to the matter, but declined to consider this for the time being. Shao Xi noticed that Auntie Cheng's eyes were filled with disappointment.

Perhaps it was because of this that Shao Xi was a little afraid of facing Auntie Cheng, afraid of meeting her disappointed eyes, and also afraid of seeing Xiao Ying's shy expression —
