1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 172 Comrade Lu’s lover is missing?
Time turned a few more pages as Lu Youyou fidgeted restlessly.

On October 21, the People's Daily published a report titled "Major Reforms in College Admissions," officially announcing the restoration of the national college entrance examination system, which had been suspended for 11 years.

Deputy Director Luo personally handed a thick stack of review materials to Lu Youyou.

"Comrade Lu, take a look. Do you need anything else? You have no idea how hard it is to get these books. Fortunately, we have a channel. The scrap yard has sold out all the copies of the 'Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry'!"

Lu Youyou flipped through the book with little interest. The legendary "College Entrance Examination Handbook" did not arouse her interest at all.

Of course she would take part in the college entrance examination, but that was on the premise that Gu Qingye's life was not in danger. If she couldn't wait for his news, she wouldn't be able to read any book about exam preparation.

"Comrade Lu, don't worry about registration. There's a registration point at Dongshan No. 1 Middle School. The time is already confirmed. Just go there when the time comes."

There is a reason why Deputy Director Luo is so concerned.

Of course it is better for high-end talents to stay. Gu Qingye is serving as a soldier on the island, and Lu Youyou will come to work in the institute directly after graduation. She can balance her family and career, which is the best of both worlds!

The most treacherous people come one after another. If the Lu family can turn things around, it would be extraordinary. It will never be a loss to establish a good relationship with Lu Youyou.

The next day, Deputy Director Luo personally took Lu Youyou to register, and also took two young people from the institute with him. He was happy but reluctant to let her give up the formal position in the 507th Institute to take the college entrance examination.

"It's good to be ambitious. When you graduate and come back, your treatment will be much better than it is now."

The 507th Institute is ranked high among military research units, so it is not difficult to bring the people back after graduation. Deputy Director Luo looks at the two young people as if they were lambs in his own sheepfold, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The two young men were working on other projects and rarely met Lu Youyou. They were more interested in the institute's famous "non-staff researcher" than their own leader. While they were humming and humming to deal with Deputy Director Luo, they secretly glanced at the passenger seat.

Comrade Lu is so young. It’s hard to imagine that she is so capable at such an age. She’s just a little cold-tempered. I haven’t seen her smile since she got on the car.

The two glanced at each other.

A: Do you want to say something?

B: What?

A: Whatever, you say!

B: Why don’t you say it?

A: Trash!

B: Same here!

The two exchanged glances for a while, but neither spoke to Lu Youyou until they got off the car.

The registration site was packed with people, and it was impossible to tell who was registering and who was just there to watch the fun.

Some had patched clothes, some were holding children, some were teenagers of sixteen or seventeen, and some had frosted faces...

Deputy Director Luo led the three people through the crowd to a small room where there was a staff member and only two people queuing in front.

Deputy Director Luo lowered his voice and said, "Comrade Lu, just submit the information and fill out the form as required."

Lu Youyou looked around and finally cheered up. After all, it was the first college entrance examination, and it was a historical moment that she experienced firsthand.

However, this little bit of adrenaline only lasted less than ten minutes, and after filling out the form, she couldn't help but get distracted again.

Seeing her like this, Deputy Director Luo began to wonder, if there was no news from Gu Qingye, would Comrade Lu be able to do well in the exam in this state?
The director discussed with him that with Lu Youyou's level, he could choose any school in the country. It would be a shame if he failed because of his mood!
He racked his brains to think of how to persuade them. Just as he reached the gate of the 507th Institute, Lu Youyou, who had been quiet all the way, suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

"what?"

"Stop the car quickly!"

The driver stepped on the brakes to the floor, but before he could stop, Lu Youyou opened the door and ran away.

"Comrade Lu, where are you going?" Deputy Director Luo hurriedly stuck his head out and saw two soldiers standing by the door. He didn't know what they said, and Lu Youyou staggered and almost fell down.

This time he didn't care about being secretive and called two young men to rush over there.

"What's going on? Which unit are you from?"

Deputy Director Luo had a serious expression on his face, staring intently at the two men's hands supporting Lu Youyou.

One of them saluted and said, "I am the deputy commander of the military district communications company. I am here to inform Comrade Lu of this news."

After taking his ID, Deputy Director Luo checked it carefully, but he was unable to relax and his mood became even more depressed.

He thought of a possibility and said in a tense voice, "Comrade Lu, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Lu Youyou tried hard to calm her breathing. At that moment, she clearly felt her heart stop beating for several seconds.

She had prepared herself mentally countless times, but when she heard Gu Qingye's name and the bad news that followed, she still couldn't help feeling dizzy. This was a shock and discomfort she had never experienced in her two lifetimes.

She had been working so hard since the first day she came here, so why couldn't she save Gu Qingye's life?!

She didn't believe it, not a single word!
"You say he's missing. Do you have any evidence? Have you looked for him? How long have you been looking? What about the others? Is he the only one missing?"

Without waiting for the people from the communications company to speak, Lu Youyou stopped them with his hand.

"Who is responsible for this matter? I want to see your leader. I am Gu Qingye's family member and I should have this right."

The deputy company commander saluted again and said, "Yes, the leader has instructed that if you wish, you can return to the military district with us."

"Wait for me five minutes." Lu Youyou turned and ran inside.

Stay calm, don't worry, there will definitely be a turning point!

There was no direct report of the sacrifice, at least he did not die directly from the artillery fire, and at least a broken body was not placed in front of her.

Lu Youyou didn't bring any luggage, and when she came out, only Zhuifeng and Xiao Huihui followed her.

"Director Luo, I'm leaving now. Thank you for your care during this time."

"Of course you should. If you need any help, be sure to tell me. No. 507 is also your home!"

Lu Youyou's eyes were a little sore, and she nodded and said, "Thank you, and thank the director for me too!"

Deputy Director Luo watched the military district's car speed away and did not speak for a long time.

The two young men looked at each other with the same shock in their eyes.

If I heard correctly, Comrade Lu’s lover is missing?

Forgive their ignorance, but what is the difference between missing and sacrificing?
On the war-torn front line, can you still find someone if they are missing?

Could it be words of comfort?

There are too many questions in front of us, no one dares to speak, no one dares to ask.

"Don't let anyone know what happened today. Even if you leave Institute 507, the confidentiality regulations will still be in effect." Deputy Director Luo said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, we know the seriousness of the matter." The two said in unison.

Even if I don’t tell them, they dare not say anything!
The first thing to do when joining the company is to sign a confidentiality agreement. Not only do you have to sign it, you also have to memorize it. The institute also organized relevant exams.

Moreover, the war is not over yet, and they cannot afford the responsibility of leaking secrets.
