The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin hid in the cellar of his new home.

There were two or three hundred pounds of cured meat and other things hidden over there.

Once they've finished eating at courtyard number 95, they can secretly take some over from here.

That's enough for Ma San and Aunt Qi to eat for a year.

We have about a pound of meat in our house every day, which is a pretty good life.

On this day, Yang Dalin summoned Ma San and Qi Yanhua to the cellar.

Ma San hadn't thought too much about it yet.

Qi Yanhua's voice suddenly changed, and she asked with a sob in her voice, "Dalinzi, is something wrong?"

Why did you prepare so much stuff?

Yang Dalin had to admire Sister Yan's intuition.

Yang Dalin pretended to be relaxed: "It's nothing serious, Sister Yan. It's just that I might have to go on a long business trip and be temporarily transferred."

It can take anywhere from three months to half a year.

That's why I prepared more things for the family.

Don't tell anyone about this except your aunt.

Sister Yan, could you please keep an eye on the original homeowners, Grandpa Wang and his family, when you have some free time?

Ma San, when you have nothing to do, get some meat from Master Tian and Station Master Sheng.

You stay here when the weather is bad.

I'll probably be back by Chinese New Year at the latest.

Qi Yanhua was very reluctant to part with Yang Dalin.

His eyes were filled with tears.

Ma San wisely went up first.

Yang Dalin hugged Sister Yanhua tightly: "Alright, Sister Yanhua, don't cry. It won't last long. I'm often away on business trips."

This time it's just a little longer than the previous business trip.

Please take good care of your aunt.

I'll go set up a golden statue and come back.

You and Ma San should take good care of things at home.

I'll give you some money; keep it.

I have already repaid 80% of the money I borrowed from Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Damao.

They're just a little bit short.

You and your aunt don't need to worry about the rest; you can return it when I get back.

I bought you the bicycle I promised.

You can ride that bicycle to and from get off work from now on.

Wait for me to come home.

Qi Yanhua is a girl with a very good temper.

She will not oppose Yang Dalin's decision.

She hugged Yang Dalin tightly around the waist: "I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, wait for me to come back, and I'll marry you when I get back."

Another day passed, and Yang Dalin went to drink with Qi Desheng and Tian Xueyi.

He told Qi Desheng that he needed to be temporarily transferred.

Qi Desheng didn't understand: "Dalinzi, other units have seconded you many times this year, and I can understand that."

Why are you being seconded to the Southwest Tibet Military Region this time?

How far is that from us?

Yang Dalin drank a glass of wine, but of course he couldn't tell Sheng Ge that he had taken the initiative to ask Director Hou for it.

This incident had already foreshadowed what would happen to Director Hou two years ago.

Yang Dalin had told Director Hou that he would ask him for help with a temporary transfer procedure one day, and he would help him with it.

Director Hou readily agreed.

Director Hou hadn't expected Yang Dalin to go to the Tibetan Plateau.

In recent years, this has been the only time Yang Dalin has asked me to do something for him.

It wasn't for their own enjoyment, but to support the logistics of the local border transport troops in more difficult areas.

Director Hou naturally had no reason to stop it.

Yang Dalin told Qi Desheng and Brother Tian, ​​"Brother Sheng, Brother Tian, ​​I don't know either."

The order came from Director Hou.

I had no choice but to comply, though it was just a temporary secondment.

I'll be back soon.

It's not like they're being transferred out of our unit.

You know, so many companies have tried to recruit me, but I haven't gone to any of them.

"Aren't I still working at our company?"

The secondment order has been issued, and Yang Dalin has no choice but to go.

Qi Desheng knew he couldn't stop it.

He could only say, "Alright, be careful when you go. If you can't adapt to the climate there, apply to come back as soon as possible."

Many people who go there can't adapt. I have a comrade who went there and said that there is some kind of altitude sickness there.

There's still a lack of oxygen.

"I know, Sheng-ge, don't worry, I'm in good physical condition, there won't be any problem."

Tian Xueyi is sometimes not good at comforting people, and he doesn't understand his apprentice's actions, but he knows that the border area has been unstable recently, and some information has been published in the newspapers.

He patted Yang Dalin on the shoulder forcefully and said only, "Be careful and come back soon."

Yang Dalin left a lot of wine for Sheng Ge and Tian Ge.

Another day passed, and Yang Dalin was carrying a large bag on his back and another large bag in his hand.

He got into the jeep that came to pick him up.

Then I took a plane that was going my way and headed to Chongqing Province.

As soon as I stepped off the military aircraft, I felt a wave of heat.

The climate here is hot and humid; the heat in the north is definitely different from that here.

Yang Dalin was provided with accommodation that day.

The next day, they caught up with a convoy transporting supplies to the plateau.

Preparing to drive into Tibet.

The high-altitude railway has only been under construction for a few years.

This railway took 48 years to build and hundreds of martyrs sacrificed their lives.

The highway to the plateau capital was opened just one year before the 21st century Olympics.

The difficulties are self-evident.

I estimate that no other country besides our Great Dragon Kingdom could have accomplished such a feat.

Unable to take the train, Yang Dalin traveled by road.

The route they took was the later Route 318. Even more people sacrificed their lives building this highway, with more than three thousand martyrs.

Many martyrs are buried in the martyrs' cemeteries on both sides of the highway.

Like the other members of the transport team, Yang Dalin would occasionally honk his horn in salute and get out of the vehicle to sweep the graves.

What a great bunch of people.

Many people may not have left their names or tombstones.

They made their contributions quietly and without fanfare.

Just like the song says, the mountains know me, the rivers and mountains know me, the motherland will not forget me, will not forget me.

However, many people later became unaware of them.

They're obsessed with Japan, Korea, and the US all the time; I wonder what they ate to grow up like that.

They forgot their conscience, forgot their ancestors, and forgot the martyrs who sacrificed their lives.

Filled with admiration, Yang Dalin followed the convoy through countless hardships and tribulations.

They had just arrived at the border line of the eastern sector of the war against India.

On the way, Yang Dalin was still thinking about whether he should go to the western section, which was closer to the other side's capital.

However, Yang Dalin later realized that he was on the eastern border, and the journey to the other side was too far on the plateau.

The road is difficult to travel.

I won't go for now.

We can also start attacking from this side.

Is the news that the western section of the battle is 50 kilometers away from the other side's capital false?

Let's do it for real then.

Anyway, once we get to their side, we'll soon reach their largest plain, the Ganges River Plain.

Just keep fighting westward along the Ganges River.

However, although the attack didn't reach within 50 kilometers of the enemy's capital, it is true that the enemy temporarily relocated some important institutions.

Then let's go in and fight them a war on terror.

Anyway, their elite troops are useless.

Indians are not good at fighting, which is something that people in later generations of China know well.

Many people in our country still think that India is very strong.

Once in the capital, Yang Dalin planned to thoroughly plunder the local treasury, bank vaults, and the temple in the south.

We must make sure the other party suffers a major setback.

Then try to see if you can influence the higher-ups' plans.

Why did we announce a voluntary halt to the fighting after the victory, instead of directly reclaiming all the territory?

Are you worried about logistical issues?

I'm still worried that if we go into the other side's territory, the drinking water problem will cause non-combat casualties.
