Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 371 I'll tell you something first.
Lu Qiaoge gently pushed open the courtyard gate, but to her surprise, her second aunt, who slept with her grandmother, suddenly sat up.

Lu Qiaoge also felt a little bittersweet.

She could often sense that her second aunt was a strong, intelligent, and proud person.

My second aunt was a student at the Beidu Command Academy. Because of the war, she resolutely signed up to go to the front line as a student.

If she hadn't been framed, my second aunt would definitely be a top-tier talent now.

However, she worked as a servant in the Sheng family and never slept soundly at night. No matter which room made a sound, she would wake up immediately.

Lu Yun tiptoed off the kang (a heated brick bed), stood at the door, and said softly to Lu Qiaoge, "Working so late must be tiring, right? There's some red date and millet porridge that I cooked tonight in the kitchen. Would you like a bowl to warm your stomach?"

Lu Qiaoge's excuse for coming home late was naturally that she was working overtime.

As for how she would get back, she told her family not to worry, Qin Hengzhi would bring her back.

Knowing that Qin Hengzhi would take her, the Lu family felt relieved.

Lu Qiaoge also lowered her voice and said, "Second Aunt, you go to sleep. I can do it myself."

But Lu Yun still went to the kitchen to serve her a bowl of porridge, and covered the rest and put it in a high place to prevent mice from getting in.

But she actually discovered that although her older brother's courtyard was small, it was very comfortable to live in. Even though she was often awakened by noise, she could fall asleep quickly as soon as she lay down.

The sparrows' chirping was also very pleasant. There were only three of them, and they were very cute. After they had eaten their fill, they quietly perched on the branches.

In this small courtyard, she has yet to find any cockroaches or rats.

Lu Qiaoge was quietly drinking red date rice porridge in the kitchen while talking to Lu Yun in a low voice.

But the house was small, and besides the young people who were fast asleep, Grandma Lu also woke up.

She lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), and although it was nothing unusual—it was normal for an aunt to take care of her niece—she just felt uneasy.

She was actually poor too, and the Lu family used to be even poorer, but no one wanted to live a poor life, otherwise there wouldn't be the Dragon Kingdom we have today.

Even though her daughter had defied fate and changed her destiny, she still fell back into the dust. How could Grandma Lu not feel heartbroken?
Meng Xia and her husband sighed, "Where did Chen Liangsheng go?"

Chen Liangsheng disappeared while looking for Lu Yun. Now that Lu Yun has returned, where is Chen Liangsheng?

At that moment, a jeep drove from outside Beidu into the city.

A middle-aged man in his fifties sat upright in the car.

His hair was completely white, and he was thin, but he showed no signs of timidity.

The jeep entered a courtyard, and then two guards accompanied the old man into a small, lit conference room.

Two elderly people, roughly the same age as him, were also waiting for him next to the small meeting room.

Upon seeing two of them, his eyes widened immediately. He froze for a moment, then said incredulously, "Dapao, Ertie, is it you two?"

"Yes, yes, it's us, Brother Mancang!"

The three of them burst into tears and hugged each other.

Once they had calmed down, Team Leader Shen came in, personally poured each of them a glass of water, and said with a smile, "Brothers, please sit down and have some water. You all know about Lu Yun's matter. Now I just want to understand the situation at that time. Originally, you should rest first, but I thought you were also anxious, so let's get to know each other first, look at the case files, and we can talk about the rest tomorrow."

The elderly man who came in later was named Song Mancang.

He stood up and said, "Let me explain something first. Three years ago, I called Lu Yun's husband, Chen Liangsheng, and I told him that Lu Yun might not have died; she was likely rescued by a large ship." The conference room fell silent.

Team Leader Shen looked at Song Mancang with some excitement. This was a breakthrough! It was so hard-won!

The other two were also stunned.

They knew, of course, that Lu Yun from the company was alive but had lost her memory, and that she was currently in Jiangcheng.

Cao Jing and Lu Yu are both currently in Jiangcheng.

They were brought in to cooperate with the investigation.

If there are no problems, then Lu Yun's true identity should be restored, along with everything she deserves.

We also need to thoroughly investigate what happened back then.

But no one expected that Song Mancang already knew.

Old Shen's expression hardened: "Can you tell us what exactly happened?"

Song Mancang nodded solemnly.

After Song Mancang was injured, he was treated in the hospital for a period of time. It was a year later before he retired and returned to his hometown.

Because casualties are inevitable in war, there were not many survivors in his company. In those days, there was no telephone contact, letters were inconvenient, and there were no addresses, so contact was basically lost.

He lives deep in the mountains of southwest China, where transportation is extremely inconvenient.

Three years ago, Chen Liangsheng went to the area on a business trip. Song Mancang learned from others that Chen Liangsheng's wife had sacrificed her life in that battle. He said that his wife was a military doctor and a top student at the Beidu Command Academy before he came.

Upon hearing this, Song Mancang knew who this person was.

The long-buried past was suddenly stirred up, and Song Mancang was filled with remorse. He went to chase after Chen Liangsheng, wanting to talk to her about something, but Chen Liangsheng had already left the area and returned to the Northwest.

Then he started asking around and finally found Chen Liangsheng's workplace. He called Chen Liangsheng and told him about something he had just remembered.

Lu Yun wasn't in that explosion!
She was on a mission with Cao Jing, Company Commander Wu, and a chief of staff at the time, so she was definitely not in the explosion.

Later, while he was unconscious, he heard the local fishermen who were helping him from behind say that when he went out to sea to fish, he saw a large ship not far away. It seemed that the ship had discovered someone in the water, and the people on the ship rescued the person. He had very good eyesight and saw that it was a woman who was wearing the team's clothes.

Song Mancang wasn't sure if the woman who was rescued was Lu Yun, but he was certain that Lu Yun wasn't involved in the explosion, because she wasn't at the scene.

Chen Liangsheng asked him where the big ship was going, and he told Chen Liangsheng that it was going to the Nanyang area, but he didn't know the exact location.

We don't know whose ship it is, but it seems to be a supply ship.

They brought a lot of relief supplies to the team, but left with an empty boat in the end.

Song Mancang clenched his hands tightly and said, "At that time, I wanted to come to Beidu to report the situation, but Chen Liangsheng stopped me. He said he would go to Beidu and call me when he needed me."

Everyone listened in silence.

This is the right thing to do. In war, being missing is essentially the same as being dead, especially in naval battles. As long as the person cannot be found, the outcome is the same.

“I also told him that the person might not be Lu Yun, it was just something a fisherman said casually. Besides, there are still some doubts. Assuming that the woman rescued by the people on the big ship was Lu Yun, and she was wearing the team's clothes, shouldn't they have sent her back?”

The recorder noted down this suspicious point.
