486: They found the eldest brother, Xiao Hongjun.

What did Xiao Niannian mean by that?

"What do you mean?" Hu Ping asked.

"Literal meaning."

Now that they had left the Train Station, they hadn't eaten anything given by those two men, and they would be reporting to the Military Unit immediately, so there would be no danger.

"Comrade Xiao."

Not far away, two men in military uniforms were walking towards Xiao Niannian.

"Comrade Xiao, we are here to pick you up."

Seeing them salute, Xiao Niannian quickly returned a military salute.

"Hello."

One of the comrades-in-arms took the luggage from Xiao Niannian's hand and walked towards where the car was parked.

"Pingping, look at Xiao Niannian, someone actually came to pick her up."

"It's people from the Military Unit coming to pick her up."

"Those two men are wearing military overcoats and even saluted Xiao Niannian."

"Could it be that Xiao Niannian was really assigned to the Military Unit in the Chengdu?"

Hearing this, Hu Ping's expression turned ugly.

"Let's go back."

"Comrade Hu, Comrade Yang, let us take you to the Military Unit."

Hearing this, Hu Ping thought of Xiao Niannian's words.

"No need."

"We will take a car there ourselves."

Yang Fang and He Juan had originally intended to agree, thinking about having more contact, but hearing Hu Ping's words, they didn't say anything.

Xiao Niannian arrived at the Military Factory by car and discovered that although it was in a mountainous area, it was not particularly far from the City Center.

"That side is a division of the Rongcheng Military Region..."

Seeing Xiao Niannian looking into the distance, the Soldier welcoming her introduced it with a smile.

"This side is also protected by their division..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

After riding in the car for another ten minutes, they stopped in front of a building.

"Comrade Xiao, we are here. The one in front is the office building, and this side is the dormitory building..."

"Comrade Xiao, your room is room 108..."

Xiao Niannian took the key, opened the room, and saw that it was also a small suite.

Although it was night now, she had seen when she came over that this building was newly built, and not far away were many red-brick houses that had been built for more than twenty or thirty years.

Xiao Niannian put her luggage away and immediately entered the space to take a bath.

Not long after she finished her bath, she heard a knock on the door.

"Comrade Xiao, I am here to take you to the canteen. Factory Director Yu said that after you finish eating, you can rest first, and go to the Research Institute early tomorrow morning..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"This is your identification and meal card..."

Xiao Niannian took the identification and put it in her pocket.

The canteen here was even better than the one at the City Name Arms Factory, and as she walked in, she smelled a fragrant aroma.

Seeing Xiao Niannian, the Comrade-in-arms from the Cooking Squad asked with a smile.

"comrade, we have noodles, sweet potato vermicelli, and fried rice. Which one would you like?"

"I'll have the sweet potato vermicelli."

"Alright."

Very quickly, a large bowl of sweet potato vermicelli was brought up.

"There is chili oil here, as well as seasonings. comrade, feel free to add them. This pickled radish and such are all pickled by us..."

"Thank you."

After Xiao Niannian added chili oil and a few side dishes, she carried the sweet potato vermicelli and sat down at a nearby dining table.

It was spicy and fragrant; the taste was very good.

Xiao Niannian ate quickly.

The voices of a few other comrades-in-arms came to her ears.

"The Arms Factory has taken on new work recently, and the comrades in the factory are very busy."

"Being busy is good; these electrical appliances are going to be exported in the future."

"I have seen these electrical appliances; they are much better than those from abroad. I also want to save money, so that when I get a wife in the future, I can buy one for her..."

"I heard that they will be sold abroad in the first half of this year, and will only be supplied in small quantities domestically in the second half."

Listening to these comrades-in-arms, Xiao Niannian smiled.

After finishing her meal, Xiao Niannian washed the bowl and chopsticks and walked outside.

Walking to the door, she saw a few comrades-in-arms walking towards this side.

"Company Commander Xiao, thank you so much..."

"Fortunately, Company Commander Xiao discovered the problem there; otherwise, we might have had casualties this time..."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian looked at them.

"You're welcome."

Xiao Niannian looked at one of them; he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

Xiao Hongjun saw a Female Comrade looking at them from not far away. He glanced at her and then walked towards the canteen.

The two of them just brushed past each other like that.

Xiao Niannian continued walking towards the dormitory. After walking three steps, she suddenly thought, didn't that Company Commander Xiao just now look like her Adoptive Father and Adoptive Mother?

"Xiao Hongjun."

Xiao Niannian turned around and walked quickly towards Xiao Hongjun.

Xiao Hongjun heard someone calling him. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Niannian, who was walking towards him.

"comrade, who are you?"

He didn't know this Female Comrade.

The few comrades-in-arms beside him were a bit surprised to see Xiao Niannian calling out to Xiao Hongjun and looking so excited.

"Older Brother, I am Xiao Niannian, your younger sister."

What?

His younger sister?

Could it be a cousin from the Xiao Family?

How did she recognize him?

They only had childhood photos at Grandma's house. And over these years, Mother rarely mentioned Grandma, only saying that Father had sacrificed himself.

In recent years, they had been planning to find an opportunity to go to Yangcheng to go to Father's Military Unit and look for Grandma's house.

Although they didn't know what had happened, they wanted to understand the situation.

"Company Commander Xiao, is this your younger sister?"

"Good heavens, Company Commander Xiao, how do you have such a beautiful younger sister, and she is also a Soldier?"

The few comrades-in-arms became excited.

"You all go into the canteen first, I will talk to her."

Xiao Hongjun said to the comrades-in-arms.

"Alright."

Seeing the comrades-in-arms leave, Xiao Hongjun said.

"Are you my cousin?"

"No, I am the Granddaughter that Grandma picked up and adopted." Xiao Niannian replied.

"Back then, when Grandma was handling Father's funeral arrangements in Yangcheng, because she was too sad, she was ill for many days. Father's funeral was handled by Xiao Dong, and all the pension and other money were fraudulently claimed by Xiao Dong..."

What?

Xiao Hongjun looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise.

"Over these years, Grandma has been trying to find Mother and Older Brothers. My coming to the Chengdu this time is, firstly, for a business trip, and secondly, to find a way to search for Mother and Older Brothers..."

Xiao Niannian took out the missing person notice she had drawn from her pocket.

"Look, this is the missing person notice I wrote and drew according to your photos."

Xiao Hongjun took it. By the light not far away, he saw that it was indeed a missing person notice, and the photos on it were of Mother when she was young and them as brothers when they were small.

"You mean, Xiao Dong fraudulently claimed the money, and Mother took us back to Maternal Grandparents' house?"

Xiao Hongjun was still a bit skeptical about Xiao Niannian's story.

"This is the letter of proof written by Father's former regimental commander and other comrades-in-arms of Father..."

Xiao Niannian took out the letter of proof written by Uncle Wang and the others from her pocket.

It also had the signatures of Division Commander Yu and the others.
