.On the winding mountain road, an army-green off-road vehicle drove by like lightning, and dust was flying all the way.

"Drive slowly, pay attention to pedestrians on the roadside." Cao Anguo said to the young officer driving, took out a cigarette, lay behind the windshield and lit it.

"It's almost here." As he said, the young officer drifted at the bend, which scared Cao Anguo so much that he quickly grabbed the handrail, and the cigarette butt he held in his mouth fell down, and a hole was burned in his trouser leg. "This car is really good, it has not changed, the chassis is much more stable, so he should buy a few more. Lao Cao, you are..."

"Driving so fast, hurry to reincarnate?" Cao Anguo was very annoyed. The military pants were only released last month.

The young officer smiled, let go of the accelerator, slowing down the car. "Just in front, the row of wooden houses behind the woods. This kid really knows how to enjoy it, and actually found a paradise."

"Park your car to the side of the road and don't get in the way."

Before the car could be parked, Cao Anguo jumped down. Before the young officer could wait for the young officer, he walked along the forest path towards the row of wooden houses with very ethnic characteristics.

The characteristics of ethnic minorities are just appearance, not inner.

Under the wave of commercialization, anything will change as long as it is involved in money. A mountain village manor located on the Li River, that is, farmhouses run by indigenous people, are not uncommon in Guilin. On both sides of the mountain road less than 20 kilometers, there is a similar manor on each slightly larger open space.

"Sir, please come in!" A middle-aged woman greeted her very enthusiastically, "Would you like to stay or..."

"I'll find someone."

After Cao Anguo said this, the enthusiasm on the middle-aged woman's face immediately faded by eight points and became a little ignorant.

"I called and found an officer named Mu Haoyang."

"Is it called Mu Haoyang?"

"Maybe the one who registered was the name of another person, he and his girlfriend were on vacation here." Cao Anguo came to do the business and was in a bad mood to get involved with the boss's wife. "I checked in about 20 days ago and checked your check-in registration form, and there must be his officer certificate number on it."

The boss lady walked into the main hall slowly, took out a registration book from the counter, and then slowly opened it.

"Can you hurry up?"

"You can't get up, you should do it yourself."

At this time, the young officer rushed over and saw the boss's wife's appearance. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Boss wife, we are carrying out military missions, please cooperate."

"Mr. Officer, am I not cooperating with you?" The proprietress turned around and looked very disdainful.

"It seems that I have to call Director Cao and let him go." The young officer said, taking out his cell phone from his bag and making a dial.

Hearing this, the boss's wife was shocked and quickly said, "Two, there is no need to bother others in this small matter."

"So, please hurry up." Cao Anguo asked the young officer to put away his cell phone.

The boss’s wife is not a fool. The young officer knows Director Cao, who is specialized in the tourism service industry in the district. And that tone seems to be available on call, and it must be of great origin.

When doing small business, you have no need to fight against these people with a background.

"Finished," less than half a minute, the boss lady turned around and handed the registration book to Cao Anguo, "Is this person you are looking for?"

"Golden autumn?"

"Yes, the one who came with her was a soldier. She used the female ID card when registering, and there was an officer's ID number behind her. See if it was the person you were looking for."

Cao Anguo glanced quickly, then nodded.

"What room does he live in?" asked the young officer.

"He just went out, about fifteen minutes before you come."

“Where did you go?”

"Back Mountain." The proprietress put away the registration book and said, "The young man is in very good health. After moving in, he goes hiking the mountain before dawn every day, and he doesn't come back until noon. In the past, this afternoon, he would go out with his girlfriend, but in the past few days, he is the only one."

"What does it mean?" Cao Anguo frowned.

"I don't know either. They rented it for a month and usually ate outside, so we don't ask much."

"Is it him?"

Hearing the words of the young officer, Cao Anguo turned around and looked out the room. A young man in a field uniform was walking into the yard and walking towards the hall.

It's not someone else, it's Mu Haoyang.

"It's him, it's strange today. I came back so early, and the sun didn't set in the past..."

"Boss, please trouble you." Cao Anguo said to the young officer again, "Help you pay the rent, and I will give you the money when I go back."

"No problem, I'll tell me all this. You can treat me next time I have dinner."

The young officer stayed to pay the bill with the boss's wife, and Cao Anguo walked out quickly.

"Old Cao, why are you here?"

"I heard from the boss lady that you won't come back until dark."

Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I saw a military vehicle driving over here on the mountain, but I didn't expect to be looking for me."

"How is this long holiday? Is it okay?"

"Oh, it's hard to describe it." Mu Haoyang sighed and said, "Why, are you here to take a vacation too?"

"I'm here to find you."

"Look for me?"

"Your holiday is over early, go back with me immediately." Cao Anguo nodded to the young officer who was walking over, and said to Mu Haoyang, "This is Major Ma Mingtao sent by the General Staff. He is now in charge of the reorganization of the special forces. You will meet frequently in the future."

Mu Haoyang was startled and immediately saluted the young officer.

"Major, don't be polite." Ma Mingtao also quickly saluted Mu Haoyang.

"Major!?" Mu Haoyang turned his gaze to Cao Anguo, very confused.

"The promotion orders between you and Pang Yuelong have been approved. You are now major, so you and Mingtao are equal-level officers."

"When did I not know?"

"Just a few days ago, I just received your promotion notice." Cao Anguo smiled and said, "Go pack your luggage and say goodbye to your girlfriend. We'll wait for you in the car."

"Okay, I'll come out right away."

Five minutes later, Mu Haoyang carried a small military green travel bag on the military off-road vehicle.

"Why, you only have one?"

"She's back." Mu Haoyang threw his travel bag to the next position.

Cao Anguo looked back and said, "Is there a quarrel?"

"Nothing big is going on." Mu Haoyang smiled, not wanting to mention this matter.

"A woman has this kind of virtue. Don't argue with her. It will be better in a few days." Ma Mingtao also looked back, "If there are conflicts, you have to deal with them coldly. The more you fight, the more proud she is."

"Drive your car, stop talking nonsense." Cao Anguo pushed Ma Mingtao for a moment.

When the off-road vehicle drove onto the road and returned in the direction he came, Cao Anguo took out his cigarette.

Mu Haoyang didn't even ask, but reached out and asked for one.

"When did you learn to smoke?" Cao Anguo turned sideways and handed the lighter to Mu Haoyang. "I remember correctly, you are one of the few guys in the brigade who don't smoke."

"Isn't it because of that Li..." Mu Haoyang suddenly stopped and looked at Ma Mingtao, "...it was broken."

"You're talking about the guy who died in a car accident in Hong Kong?" Ma Mingtao laughed and said, "It's impossible to follow him and learn well."

Mu Haoyang was shocked, obviously not expecting that Ma Mingtao also knew Li Xiaoming.

"Mingtao's other identity is the special envoy of the Second Department." Cao Anguo lit a cigarette and said, "It was inconvenient to say it at first, now you can get to know each other again."

Mu Haoyang nodded at Ma Mingtao and said nothing.

"Major, let go. A soldier as good as you are, you are not afraid of not being able to find a wife." It is obvious that Ma Mingtao is very outgoing and talkative. "There are women everywhere, you are not afraid of not being able to find a suitable one. If you want to change one, I will introduce you to you."

"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Mu Haoyang took two puffs of cigarettes and felt that Ma Mingtao and Li Xiaoming were all the same.

Ma Mingtao smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me, but for this action, your mental state, especially your emotions, has a lot to do with this."

Mu Haoyang frowned. What actions are related to emotions?

"Tell me, what's going on?" Cao Anguo did not let Mu Haoyang go.

"It's all trivial matters, do you have to say?"

"Haoyang, I am both your boss and your brother, tell me."

Mu Haoyang sighed and said, "It's all for marriage. The matter of raising funds for building a house in her unit has been decided. The lottery is good. I have the opportunity to get a big house, but I don't think it's necessary. After all, the two places are separated. I will also have the opportunity to get a house in the future, so I want to buy a smaller one."

"The money issue?" Ma Mingtao immediately pointed out the key point.

"That's right. If you choose the one with more than 140 square meters, the down payment will cost more than 200,000 yuan, and you may not be able to get a loan. With taxes and decoration, you will probably cost about 400,000 yuan. If you choose the one with more than 70 square meters, it will only cost more than 200,000 yuan. Spending less money will be easier for us."

"So, you don't have financial brains."

Mu Haoyang glanced at Ma Mingtao and shook his head with a smile.

"The unit raises funds to build a house, which is definitely much cheaper than the market price, and has property rights. If you can't live in the future, you can still sell it. If I do, I will choose the bigger one, the bigger the better. Anyway, it's time to take advantage of the public, and it won't be taken away." Ma Mingtao smiled and said, "It's definitely okay to use your two income to support a big house."

"But……"

"What's going on now?" Cao Anguo brought back the topic.

"She only took half a month off and went back a few days ago." Mu Haoyang took two puffs of cigarettes, "Before leaving, I had a big fight with me."
