Chapter 578: 578 Return home, Conquer!
Lin Weiguo’s gaze was firm, and his tone resounded with force.
"We are the people’s soldiers; wherever we are needed, we will go without complaint of hardship."
Protecting the peace of the land and ensuring the country’s tranquility was the purpose that all of them steadfastly upheld.
Commander Qi’s face was full of relief and pride as he then took out the transfer orders.
Lin Weiguo saw that familiar object, and his pupils swirled with shock.
His throat went dry, and it even felt somewhat painful.
"You probably guessed it already," Commander Qi said with a smile.
Transfer orders—the thing that meant one could go home; who hadn’t secretly longed for them?
Lin Weiguo’s heart pounded, and for a moment he couldn’t find his voice, "I..."
He could only utter a single word before he stopped speaking.
Commander Qi understood what Lin Weiguo was feeling in his heart.
He thumped Lin Weiguo’s shoulder and said sternly, "No matter where you are, you’re defending your country. You must obey the organization’s arrangements."
Lin Weiguo stood up swiftly, snapped to attention, and saluted, "Yes, sir!"
Commander Qi, a bit helplessly, gestured, "Sit down, sit down, we’re not doing the formalities today."
Lin Weiguo sat down.
Commander Qi handed him the transfer orders, looking towards the snowy white outside the window.
His voice seemed to drift from a faraway place.
"The conditions here are tough, leaving will be good for you," he stated truthfully.
"Commander Qi..." Lin Weiguo began.
He didn’t feel that it was tough here.
On the contrary, he felt proud and honored because of his commitment to defending the country.
Commander Qi raised his hand to stop him and smiled, "Let’s not talk about that."
"You’re not young anymore. If you stay here, you won’t be able to find a wife. If this continues, I’m afraid you’ll never get married."
To his own soldiers, whom he cherished deeply, he felt sorry for those who had spent their years here in hardship.
For those of age, he tried to transfer them away.
That’s why there were so many young soldiers here.
Lin Weiguo had no thoughts about getting a wife, so he remained silent.
At the moment, his heart was torn between reluctance and excitement.
Reluctant to leave the comrades he had fought with side by side for years, yet happy that he would soon be able to return home.
His mind flew towards the Shuangshan Brigade, his thoughts hazy, unable to settle on anything tangible.
Commander Qi gave him some final instructions and sent him off.
Lin Weiguo drifted back to his dormitory in deep thought.
Seeing Qi Hang, his mind snapped back, his expression complex.
"...I received the transfer orders."
Qi Hang had already heard the news, and while he felt reluctant, he was also happy for him.
Seeing Lin Weiguo’s expression, Qi Hang swung his fist to thump his shoulder.
"What’s with that face? Don’t you want to go home and see it for yourself? Isn’t this better?"
Speaking of going home, the two simultaneously looked towards an empty bed in the dormitory.
That spot used to belong to a soldier named Yu Gen, who was committed to the revolution.
Two years ago, he should have gone home to reunite with his wife, but during his last mission, in severe weather, he was buried in the snow and wasn’t found until five days later.
When they found him, his body had already frozen solid, his hand stretched forward, his eyes never closed.
He never got the chance to utter his last words.
Lin Weiguo remembered the comrade who was forever left behind, feeling very distressed.
Qi Hang took a wrapped package from the cabinet and stuffed it into Lin Weiguo’s hands.
"Don’t be hasty in refusing; this is something we’re entrusting you to deliver to Old Yu’s family."
"If you have enough time, please visit his son, whom he desperately yearned for but never had the chance to see..."
They had stayed here for years, always wanting to visit for Old Yu but never had the time, so they agreed whoever left first would visit.
They hadn’t expected that the first one to leave would be Weiguo.
Lin Weiguo looked at Qi Hang’s firm expression and accepted the package.
"Rest assured, I will make sure it gets into Old Yu’s family’s hands personally and write you all a letter after visiting them."
Qi Hang trusted his comrade and said, "Good, we’ll wait for your letter. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Did Commander Qi say when you will be leaving the mountain?"
Lin Weiguo licked his dry, cracked lips, his brows furrowed, his tone deep, "Tomorrow."
He looked around the room he’d lived in for several years, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Qi Hang hadn’t expected the farewell to come so quickly; he forced a smile and said, "Maybe they want you to make it home for the New Year; this is a good thing."
He smirked, "This year you don’t have to stand on the mountain top to look in the direction of your home..."
All the complexity in Lin Weiguo’s heart was swept away by Qi Hang’s light-hearted remark, and he retorted without amusement, "Get out!"
The traveler braved the wind and rain, embraced the galaxy as he hastened on the road home, while the people in his hometown remained utterly unaware.
-
Jinzhou Cotton Textile Factory.
The trial production of the fine spinning machine was in full swing.
Lin Tang and the other technicians, working tirelessly day and night, had finally made significant progress.
By this time, it was long past dark.
The entire factory was enveloped in quiet.
Only the light in the Technology Department’s workshop was still on.
From inside, peals of jubilant cheers occasionally erupted.
"We’ve conquered it!!"
"We’ve taken another step closer to success..."
"I can’t wait to see the finished product, it’s so thrilling."
Lin Tang was tired to the bone, dark circles marking her eyes.
Seeing everyone’s happy faces, her eyes gently curved, revealing a smile along with them.
The results, usually taking two to three years of research, were significantly advanced by their constant efforts, which truly deserved their excitement.
Old Yang stayed up with everyone and, hearing the comrades’ cheers, his smile brimmed with satisfaction.
"Alright, pack up and go home, come in later tomorrow," he said.
Qiao Cheng, who had displayed his strengths in the research group and was full of passion, was reluctant to agree, "Why come in later? With the project making such progress, shouldn’t we strike while the iron is hot?"
He felt he could endure three all-nighters.
Old Yang set his face in a stern expression.
The usually amiable old man suddenly seemed formidable.
"Strike while the iron is hot? Do you believe I’ll hit you? Have you not seen what state your eyes are in?!"
Lin Tang’s hand, holding the enamel jar, froze.
She subconsciously touched the area beneath her eyes, pursed her red lips slightly, and her mind wandered off somewhere else.
...Stale? Does it look bad?
A jolt went through Lin Tang’s heart, and she rapidly packed her things.
"Alright, I’ll listen to Old Yang. I’ll come in tomorrow afternoon. See you, comrades," she said.
After speaking, she waved and left the workshop with a smile.
The others: "!!!"
Huh?!
The factory at nine o’clock was quieter than taking a midnight stroll on a secluded path.
The moonlight was cool and refreshing.
The lights along the road emitted a dim glow; as people passed by, their shadows stretched out long and elongated on the ground.
Lin Tang swiftly exited the gate of the Cotton Textile Factory.
"Tangtang."
A tall man emerged from the shadows, taking the items from the young girl’s hands.
"Why are you here?" Lin Tang asked with delight.
Finding the young girl’s coat among the items, Gu Yingzhou opened his clothing, leaned in, and helped her put it on.
"The temperature drops at night. Keep your coat on so you don’t catch a cold," he said.
Lin Tang obediently extended her arms, her clear eyes looking at Gu Yingzhou.
"You haven’t answered my question yet. Why are you here so late?" she asked.
She had faintly heard that the Machinery Factory had received an important research task and was entirely closed off, so she was surprised to see her significant other late at night.
