Shen Yunfang carried her child out of Sister Wu's house and then proceeded next door to the home of Battalion Commander Wu, whose name is Wu Chaoyang and who is thirty-eight years old this year. His wife Liu Shuli is a primary school teacher from the provincial city, and they have one daughter, who is ten years old this year.
When Li Hongjun and his wife moved in, Wu Chaoyang was already out leading his team in training, so Shen Yunfang had only heard of him but had never actually seen him. She did see Liu Shuli once, on the night they moved in, but after that, since the family was away for work and school in the provincial city, Battalion Commander Wu's home was always empty.
