Rebirth in 1972: Redemption in Changbai Mountain

"Is there anything else? Is there anything else?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Rui excitedly urged him on.

Judging from the fact that she went up the mountain with He Wu and Lü Zhijun to catch eagles, it was clear that this girl was not an honest person.

They were naturally particularly interested in things related to hunting in the mountains.

"My junior brother has also fought tiger cubs and wiped out wolf packs."

Seeing Qin Rui's expression, Gu Shaofeng assumed that the girl had feelings for his junior brother, so he added that.

At that moment, Zhou Rui was too busy taking care of the two babies to speak.

He Jing watched as Zhou Rui quietly led Xiao Niangao and Xiao Yan'er, listening to Zhang Zhenbei recount the ferocious beasts Zhou Rui had fought, and felt the contrast was quite stark.

Two little girls, like characters from a traditional Chinese New Year painting, were interacting innocently in Zhou Rui's arms. He Jing's hands were itching, so she reached out and snatched one of them, liking it more and more as she looked at it.

She married Qin Zhan late in life, and they only have one son, Qin Tao, but now she suddenly wants to have another child, a daughter.

Wang Zhen, who had remained silent, looked at Gu Shaofeng and then at Qin Rui.

Then he grabbed his bag and pulled out a scarf from it.

This treated fox pelt is even more dazzling and has a shinier coat than before.

"My junior brother did it."

Wow.

"So beautiful."

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful."

Qin Rui, He Jing, and Yang Guilan all couldn't help but extend their palms.

Nothing could be more convincing than this; everyone else just tells stories without any physical evidence.

Wang Zhen's story, without any thrilling plot or ferocious beasts, was simply about a scarf, yet it instantly drew everyone's attention.

"It's so smooth, it feels so nice to touch."

Qin Rui couldn't put it down, stroking it constantly with both hands.

He Jing was alright; she only glanced at it in surprise before being pulled back to her senses by the doll in her arms. The doll was much more fun.

Yang Guilan, however, was interested in the value of this item.

"It's so beautiful, it must be worth a lot of money, right?"

"It's worth a thousand or eight hundred. But Master said he won't sell it; it's a gift for Little Rice Cake."

Zhang Shitou chimed in. He quickly interrupted Qin Rui's thoughts because he sensed she was trying to claim it as her own.

Qin Zhan didn't touch it; he only glanced at the leather in He Jing's hand. As a grown man, although he also thought the leather was beautiful, his perspective was different from a woman's.

"There are no bullet holes. What were you shot with?"

"It was shot." Gu Shaofeng pointed to the leather, "The ear, pierced right through."

After everyone had looked at them, Zhou Rui casually grabbed one and put it on Xiao Niangao's neck.

The red fur made An'an's face look even rosier, as if the doll holding a gold ingot in the New Year painting had jumped out.

He Jing looked at the baby in her arms and liked it even more, and couldn't help but kiss it several times.

At this moment, Xiao Yan'er, who was in Zhou Rui's arms, also saw it, twisted her body and landed on the kang, and immediately crawled to He Jing's side.

She pounced on Xiao Nian Gao, grabbed the red fox fur, and bit into it.

Little Rice Cake wasn't going to be outdone. Holding Little Goose, she also started nibbling at her lotus root-like arms that were peeking out from her sleeves.

Because there wasn't any, the little gosling was tickled from the nibbling and giggled.

He Jing was even happier now, finally understanding how Zhou Rui had felt earlier. With two dolls in her hands, her happiness was doubled.

She seemed to have made up her mind: she would give birth next year, and she was determined to have another daughter.

At this point, no one was in the mood to talk about hunting; the two little babies playing in front of them were more appealing.

This is especially true for people like Zhang Shitou who want to get married. They wonder if their future children will be as adorable as these two.

The door was pushed open with a bang.

Gu Dayong led Aunt Gu in.

"Father, you're back?"

"Uncle Dayong, Aunt Gu."

Gu Jiacheng and Zhou Rui saw the person who came in almost at the same time.

Then Wang Shouye and Qin Zhan also saw Gu Dayong, but they didn't expect him to come back so quickly.

"Is everything done?"

Wang Shouye asked a question.

When Gu Dayong stayed behind that day, he knew something was wrong, but since Lin Guoqiang didn't say anything, he pretended not to know.

I just thought it must be related to the Black Wolf and his gang that Gu Dayong and Zhou Rui captured.

"Not yet, my task was just to lead the way. Once I've brought the person there, I'll naturally come back first."

Gu Dayong responded first, then took the hot tea that Zhou Ping handed him and took a big gulp.

He was quite tired from rushing back, and when he got home, lunch hadn't been prepared yet. He said he was going to Zhou Rui's house for drinks.

And so, they came over directly with Aunt Gu.

After finishing his tea, Gu Dayong wiped his mouth with his hand.

"Ruiwa, you're going to get another certificate this time."

"Minister Lin said that the certificates will be issued together with the county public security bureau's certificates. He said the military will give you two certificates, making a total of three."

"When did you manage to do something so good again?"

Gu Dayong was somewhat puzzled, as he only knew about two different things.

"Merit, military awards?"

Zhao Youzhi put down his teacup; he was most sensitive to awards and certificates. You see, in their entire lives, they valued the honors bestowed by the country most.

Qin Zhan's family was also full of questions. How could Zhou Rui, just a country boy, have accomplished so much?

Qin Rui was also staring intently at Zhou Rui's face, as if this young man possessed a mystery unlike that of ordinary people.

"We all know about the award certificate from the county public security bureau."

That was when the county commune issued a notice for joint defense; our brigade's patrol team caught a group of wanted criminals.

The county police chief said he would recommend us for commendation, since Ruiwazi participated in that arrest operation.

Zhao Youzhi's face was full of pride. This was not only Zhou Rui's glory, but also the honor of the entire Jiaolongxia Brigade.

"This time, Wang Pao and I took Ruiwa and Jiacheng into the mountains to look for people. Along the way, we caught two vagrants together."

"We know that, what great merit do we have here? Are these two vagrants also wanted criminals?"

Wang Shouye just found it strange and didn't think those two people were anything special.

Gu Dayong shook his head: "No, those two vagrants haven't been interrogated yet."

"Actually, Ruiwa and I killed two people at the time."

When Gu Dayong got to this point, he saw the two babies and a group of women in the house, and felt that it might be inappropriate to talk about this.

Unexpectedly, Qin Rui was the first to speak up: "Uncle Gu, tell me, did you kill the notorious bandit?"

Everyone else was watching him, waiting for him to continue.

Aunt Gu pinched him on the waist: "Quick, tell me, what are you babbling about?"

"Isn't it supposed to be a secret?" Zhou Rui asked softly.

"The troops have already gone up. With so many people coming, the commotion is too great, and there's no need to keep it a secret anymore."

Gu Dayong explained something to Zhou Rui.

"Riva and I discovered a military base, where there were two Japanese soldiers who had surrendered and stayed behind."

"One of them was beaten to death on the spot by Ruiwa, and another was still alive, but he couldn't hold on and died during our interrogation."

"So, Brother Guoqiang said he wanted to give you an award certificate because you discovered this little guy's military base?"

Qin Zhan understood then; no wonder they had kept it a secret from him back then. At that time, Lin Guoqiang hadn't reported the matter yet, so naturally, they couldn't say much.

"Yes, and it's a military supply base with a large amount of supplies inside."

Gu Dayong nodded vigorously. As a veteran, he was very happy about something that benefited the country.

"And what's the other achievement?"
