Early the next morning, I was still sleeping and heard the back door clanging twice. Who would knock on this hidden small door so early? I quickly got out of bed and felt an unknown feeling in my heart. Could it be that Yin Hong was in and out of here every day, and was discovered by someone from the factory, and the factory manager came over? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Who?" I ran over with my shoes and asked in a low voice.

"Is Xiao Wu? It's me, I'm Peng Dazhuang." The echo outside was full of energy.

Peng Dazhuang, Deputy Platoon Leader Peng, how did he know here? I remember he walked through the front door yesterday. I looked out through the thin crack in the door and saw the dark face of platoon Leader Peng Dazhuang.

"Wait a minute." I came to the distribution room I originally lived in, took the hanging key from behind the door, and turned back and opened the door lock. The short and strong body of the platoon leader Peng flashed in flexibly.

"How did you know there is a back door here?" I asked in confusion as I looked at his thick-browed and thick-lipped face.

"What's the difficulty? When I was here yesterday, I carefully observed the position." Peng Dazhuang's thick eyebrows raised upwards, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You...you treat this place as a position?" I was unhappy and lost my anger when I spoke.

"Don't you fight an unprepared battle?" Deputy Platoon Leader Peng said forcefully without caring about my attitude.

"Are you going to come to fight?" I couldn't help but tease.

"As a revolutionary soldier, in love, you must be like conquering a fortress. I lost a battle above, and you must win this battle!" Deputy Platoon Leader Peng half-clenched his fist and waved it vigorously, as if he was making a pre-war agitation.

"Okay, you go and conquer the fortress, oh... By the way, it seems that your fortress is not there. She is on the day shift and has been transferred early in the morning."

"I know she went to work early in the morning, so I came to see if she had anything to do. I was idle when I visited relatives and came to my house. If I could help her, I would like to help her." Deputy Platoon Leader Peng said devoutly.

It seems that nothing he said is useless. Deputy Platoon Leader Peng seems to have regarded this place as his home and has no feeling of seeing each other at all.

"But, there are still others who are thinking about your fortress." I locked the back door of the yard and muttered deliberately.

"What did you say?" My words aroused his alertness, and the deputy platoon leader's black eyebrows suddenly stood up.

"There is a doctor in the small hospital in our factory who turned out to be a veterinarian. I have been thinking about Sister Hong recently and are pestering her every day." I told the enthusiastic deputy platoon leader in front of me what I learned yesterday.

"Is there such a thing?" The deputy platoon leader's thick eyebrows frowned into a lump, and his dark face became darker.

"You have to hurry up and find a way to stop the veterinarian's thoughts. He is a hooligan, and he can do anything all day long." I further intimidated him.

"If he dares to touch Yin Hong's finger, I will not ruin him." The deputy platoon leader's eyes sparked, as if a veterinarian was standing in front of him.

I led Platoon Leader Peng to the front yard, stood helplessly under the ginkgo tree, and raised my face to the second floor: "You go up. If the door is locked, just wait in the corridor for a while."

I didn't let him go to my room, thinking that it was too hot outside and if he couldn't stand it, he would give up and leave here by himself. Unexpectedly, Platoon Leader Peng responded, "Okay" and went upstairs happily.

I looked downstairs as he walked westward, and came to the room where Yin Hong lived. He pushed the door gently, and the door creaked open. Platoon leader Peng turned around and waved his hand proudly at me downstairs, regretting that my teeth were itchy. If I had known this was the case, I would have pretended not to hear it and not open the back door for him.

For several days, Peng Dazhuang always arrived early in the morning, just like he was in the army, but he left late at night. When I was in the dark shadows under the ginkgo tree, looking at the ambiguous lights upstairs, and practicing the eight-style grapple taught by the master, I felt indescribable.

The deputy platoon leader Peng Dazhuang became more and more aware of his masters. In order to please Yin Hong, he took care of everything he should do or not, and did not do. Once when I came back from morning shift, I saw Peng Dazhuang holding a small basin, washing women's clothes by the water table, with several bras and shorts, and a colorful basin.

"Deputy Platoon Commander Peng, have you done such a good thing when you help the masses wash clothes when the troops support the army and love the people?" I asked sourly.

"I haven't seen it, all local comrades help us wash clothes, but I'm washing my own partner, and it has nothing to do with supporting the army and loving the people." Peng Dazhuang refused to eat my trick, raised his thick neck and replied with a brilliant face.

"You are almost a family, are your relationship developing quite quickly?" Peng Dazhuang's answer made me feel extremely uncomfortable, and he pretended to be surprised and teased.

"This time it is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. Such a handsome woman and such a good person. If I don't capture her quickly, I will be captured by the enemy immediately? For example, that veterinarian, I have already crushed him. But there will be other enemies. I think now our entire company, not... the entire battalion, the regiment, and the entire division will envy me to death." Peng Dazhuang's smug expression made me feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, Xiao Wu, I want to get married soon. You have to drink two more drinks at that time. Yin Hong treats you as her brother and says you have saved her several times." Peng Dazhuang lifted up a red shorts and shook proudly.

"I don't know how to drink, I get drunk as soon as I drink." I felt angry, almost put down my face, and quickly turned around and left.

That afternoon, while I was patrolling the workshop, I met Senior Brother Xiao Cai. He and Fatty Zhang and his gang were dismantling a carding machine. Senior Brother Xiao Cai saw me, hurried over and secretly pulled me aside.

"I'll tell you something. I saw Yin Hong yesterday." Senior Brother Xiao Cai had a mysterious expression on his slimming face.

"Seeing something strange, she is blocking the car in the workshop every day, not in the second floor laboratory." I didn't understand what Senior Brother Xiao Cai was going to say, and replied disapprovingly.

"What did you say? If I see it in the workshop, I will tell you." Senior Brother Xiao Cai was a little anxious and couldn't help but raise his voice, "I saw it at the door of my house. She went to the house next door named Zhao."

"What did you say? She went to Director Zhao's house?" I couldn't believe my ears.

"This Sunday night, I took Li Qin home. When I went out, I saw her coming out of Zhao Wu's family. Director Zhao and his wife came out. There seemed to be another soldier who was not clear about his face and was not very tall. He was with her." I knew that Xiao Cai was talking about the deputy platoon leader Peng Dazhuang, but what did they have to do with the Zhao family?

After leaving Senior Brother Xiao Cai, I felt like I was hit by someone and my mind was confused. What is the relationship between Peng Dazhuang and the Zhao family? I was suspicious in my heart, and my originally unhappy heart became even more depressed.

The scorching sun was exposed all day, and the air was filled with hot heat waves. The trees in the woods were all dejected, and only those ungrateful cicadas made waves of broken screams on the branches. When I returned to the small courtyard of the guesthouse, Peng Dazhuang was standing under the ginkgo tree, waiting for the return of Yin Hong.

"Did you see Yin Hong after get off work?" The deputy platoon leader stood up excitedly when he heard the sound of the door opening.

"No, maybe I've gone to the bathroom and haven't come back yet." I pretended to be confused and stopped, "Do you know Zhao Wu and Zhao Wen?"

"They are my cousins. Why, do you know them?" Peng Dazhuang said excitedly.

"Then Director Zhao is your uncle?" I thought of the big yard with ceramic tiles and the ferocious wolf dog.

"It's my cousin, a cousin of my mother. When I was in the army to test my health that year, my heart and lungs were a little noise. He helped me and finally passed the test. My cousin is our great benefactor." Peng Dazhuang's dark face was full of a look of respect.
