The communication between the two brothers was not smooth, and for the first time the second brother, who came home for the holidays, went against the eldest brother's wishes.
"Brother, forgive me, I don't want to be a deserter. The country has trained me, and I have to protect the tranquility of the country's oceans."
Zhu Xuesong's eyes are full of determination, he is already twenty At one year old, he looked very strong and energetic, which made Zhu Xuefeng clearly realize that the second child was no longer the weakling boy before, but a real active soldier.
Zhu Xuefeng put his hands on his younger brother's shoulders, with no disappointment in his eyes.
"Don't say that. Big brother is proud of you. You have your own ideas, which is good. Big brother supports you."
Zhu Xuefeng didn't try to persuade him anymore, but just asked the second child in detail about his situation at school and where he would go in the future. The second child has been assigned to the East China Sea Fleet, and the fleet is currently stationed in Shanghai. (Moved in 1969)
Zhu Xuefeng knew that his younger brother wanted to go to Yangcheng to be closer to Xie Bingyan. The two of them were now semi-public, but he did not expect that he would go to Shanghai in the end.
“It’s the same, we are guarding the ocean wherever we go.” The second child answered simply.
"Well, don't you still have two weeks left? Let's go to pay homage to your parents. You won't be able to come back for several years. Let's go back together and let our parents see them. The two sons have grown up."
"Yes." The second son still said very little, but it was clear from his eyes and attitude that he should be thinking this way.
…
"Why are you back? What happened?" After sending off his second son, Zhu Xuefeng was surprised to see Huang Yuanshan and Xiao Donghai. One was in the Bohai Bay and the other was in the far northern border. Zhu Xuefeng even made a special trip to visit him two months ago. Both of them were dressed in plain clothes and were not in high spirits.
Now the three of them are in Xiao Donghai's den. There are some cooked food and two bottles of wine on the small square table. You two look at me and I look at you. Xiao Donghai spoke first.
"Let me tell you...".
After listening to Xiao Donghai's statement, Zhu Xuefeng also fell silent. Their fathers had all come down, and they were also implicated by their parents. They couldn't bear it anymore and asked for leave to sneak back for a visit.
"How many of you? Who are you? It's not like all five of your brothers are like this."
"Hey, it's about the same. We went to see it yesterday and heard my dad say that their family and I They are both the same." Although Xiao Donghai was smiling, his laughter was full of loneliness. His father had been his lifelong pride, but now he was gone, and he felt like the mountain had collapsed.
Zhu Xuefeng was surprised, "Brother, how many families are...?"
Huang Yuanshan felt a little uncomfortable and shook his head, "Stop talking, as long as you know."
What year did it happen last year? People are still full of enthusiasm to go to the front line to earn some credit, but in the blink of an eye they encounter such changes. It is obvious that they are useless. Zhu Xuefeng had to temporarily suppress his doubts and turned around to ask.
"Is everyone in the family okay?"
"It's okay. I just can't figure out why. My dad worked all his life and was finally..." Compared to Huang Yuanshan's calmness, Xiao Donghai was obviously more excited, with tears in his eyes.
"Donghai, be more open-minded. Your father is not dead yet, why are you still bleeding cat urine? You will have a long time to come." Huang Yuanshan was very calm, with a look of determination on his face.
"What do you want to do?" Zhu Xuefeng looked at Huang Yuanshan unexpectedly. Huang Yuanshan was definitely the calmest among the five brothers, but his expression now clearly showed that he had ideas.
"What can I do? I can't do anything. Come on, come on, drink." Seeing Zhu Xuefeng ask, Huang Yuanshan shook his head and took a sip of wine.
It turned out that the place where the two of them saw their father was basically unguarded, and they were all in a room alone. The two of them, who were unhappy together, had the idea of taking their father away.
But they were scolded by two old men. Both old men firmly stated that they would never leave.
"I have been a revolutionary all my life, and I have never seen any storms. I think back then when I was chased and intercepted by hundreds of thousands of people, you didn't even think of me as a deserter, and even killed them. You two little bastards, stop talking nonsense." Badao, I will beat you two if you don’t think so.”
Xiao Donghai shook his head helplessly, the will of the two old men is. Unshakable, the two of them can only accept the old man's arrangement and go back honestly. Zhu Xuefeng is not too worried about them. There will be a day when the clouds clear up. It is good for these few to stay in the army, even if it is short-term. There was some internal influence, but the impact was limited. Their connections were all in the army, so even if they were a little involved, they wouldn't suffer a big loss.
"When will you go back?" Zhu Xuefeng asked after the three of them took another sip.
"We plan to wait a little longer. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Bin and the others will come back. We have to meet them anyway."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded. This was an unexpected opportunity for the brothers to meet. It would be nice to meet him.
“Go back to the army and study hard. You won’t have to worry about things at home. Improve your business capabilities. Don’t let the older generation down. Don’t tell me that there is no chance. There is always gold. To shine."
Seeing Xiao Donghai want to interrupt, Zhu Xuefeng reached out to stop him. He knew that the two of them should be a little frustrated, and he had to remind them not to go astray in order to fulfill their obligations as friends.
"Donghai, Xiaofeng is right, let's not think too much and do our own thing well. Since the old men are confident, we can't be discouraged." Huang Yuanshan also expressed his position, and Xiao Donghai thought about it. nodded.
The two brothers quickly became drunk because they had something on their minds. Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, threw the two brothers on the bed, took the half bottle of wine he had hidden, checked the doors and windows, and then left with the door closed. He had something on his mind, so don't do it. Drinking too much will hurt your health. The three brothers only drank a bottle and a half, and two of them got drunk. This was not their normal drinking capacity at all.
Look at the sky, it’s already late, luck has gone around, and the drunkenness has dissipated. Then I look at the two brothers snoring loudly, shake their heads and leave with a smile. ···
"Really?" There was some surprise in the man's eyes. He was already quite old. He was now in his early forties, but he had never been able to have children. Unexpectedly, he finally saw hope this time, but he still had some concerns. , it’s just that it’s hard to speak for the time being.
"Well, it's almost ten. We calculated the days and we can't go wrong." Qin Huairu stroked her belly. She had a lot of experience, and she was very experienced in the first seven and the last eight. It is clear that this time the menstrual period has not come, and it is 90% likely that I am pregnant again.
"Great." The man rubbed his hands excitedly, bent his head and put his ear against the woman's belly, stroking it gently. Seeing this scene, the woman felt reassured. It seemed that the man was not lying, and indeed he cared about her. Involuntarily, he stretched his fingers into the man's hair, said softly with a smile on his lips.
"It's still very early. If you want to hear the news, you have to wait a few months, but you have to hold it in for these few months."
"Yes, I know." The man pushed the woman's hand away and straightened up, his eyes struggling a little, "It can't be the donkey-faced one."
Qin Huairu was shocked. This straight man still had such doubts, and his heart suddenly surged. I felt infinitely aggrieved. This bad idea was given by a man. I was firmly opposed to it, but I couldn't bear his insistence. What he said seemed to make sense, so I endured the humiliation and accepted the certificate with that horse-faced person.
But now the man actually doubts himself. It seems that the man is really not a good person. He rolled his eyes angrily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm pinching my days, don't say he can't be angry." , even if I can give birth, I can’t get pregnant. Didn’t we plan the day? Why, if you don’t want to admit it, if you don’t, I will go to the hospital and have it shaved to avoid suffering.”
The man couldn't help but regretted what he said just now, and he immediately apologized, "I'm talking nonsense, isn't this my first child? I'm a little excited, I don't mean what I say, don't take it to heart."
This is in front of me. The mother-in-law must be comforted. This is her own hope. Li Huaide has been I didn't want to have a baby, so I secretly went to the hospital for a visit. The doctor said that it was really difficult for women like him to conceive, unless the other woman had a very fertile constitution. I had been ridiculous for all these years, but I didn't see any one get pregnant. Yes, this little lady was specially arranged for him by God, so she must be protected.
"It's good to know. We women are going to the gate of hell to give birth. If you have no conscience, I will suffer less." Seeing Li Huaide's apology, Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still said Don't give up.
"Don't worry, I, Li Huaide, will never be sorry to you two. In this life, you just wait to be rich and popular, haha, I, Li Huaide, will also have a son."
Appease After being a woman, Li Huaide seemed a little complacent at this time. Everything had been going well in the past two years, but he was missing a child. Now this regret has been made up. Sure enough, God rewards hard work, and as long as you work hard, you will always have something to gain.
"Keep your voice down, don't worry about people hearing it. Besides, I don't guarantee that this is his son." Seeing that Li Huaide was sincerely happy, Qin Huairu felt relieved and couldn't help but worry. If this got carried away and spread, he would also I don’t have the face to see anyone.
"It doesn't matter if he's not a son, let's regenerate, haha, your land is good, we have to seize the opportunity to plant more land, haha."
Li Huaide couldn't help but be happy again. Smiling, Qin Huairu was a little dissatisfied, "How many more children are there? I've been spending so much time with him. "Look, you are heartless, I won't do it, that's not what you said at the time."
Li Huaide chuckled, this little widow really had a lot on her mind, rolled her eyes, and whispered in the woman's ear. After whispering for a while, Qin Huairu nodded doubtfully, but she still seemed a little unsure.
“You really didn’t lie to me?”
Li Huaide shook his head, "Why are you lying to me? Get a good check-up, take good care of yourself, and give me a fat boy. At the end of the year, we will make adjustments at once, promote you to deputy section chief, and run the guest house for me." ”
Qin Huairu felt relieved when he heard that he was promoted to deputy section chief. If nothing else, the monthly salary of this deputy section chief is comparable to Now it is still more than 20 yuan higher, and he can manage the guest house legitimately. Unlike now, a section chief is appointed as deputy director, which is somewhat unfair. Qin Huairu has often heard the gossip below, and when he was promoted to deputy section chief Chief, these gossips will naturally disappear. If a few people who are close to him are commissioned as section chiefs, the guest house will truly stand firm.
After staying in the guest house for so long, I now realize that the guest house is not even a bit better than the canteen. I was still thinking about going to the canteen back then. Qin Huairu wanted to laugh just thinking about it. She had too little experience. If it weren’t for Li Huaide asked her to come to the guest house and pick her up. She has touched people at all levels, but she was still a helpless housewife. How can she be like now, managing dozens of people in a guest house, and keeping everything in order, and has received praise many times. People always have to be supported by noble people to have a chance. Growing up, Xiangzi is his own noble person.
"Really?" Xu Damao asked with a look of disbelief. Qin Huairu nodded, "They say I have given birth to several children. How can this be wrong? Look at the list. This is not included. Are you there?"
Xu Damao took the test form and it was really confirmed that he was pregnant. He was so happy that he couldn't help but step forward, hugged Qin Huairu and gave her a hug. Master Wang said That's right, I worked in a miserable kiln for several years, and the bad luck dissipated, and my good fortune came. Qin Huairu, who had been coveted for many years, got married easily, got promoted, and now has a child. Hahahahaha, silly pillar, silly pillar , How can you, a cook, compare yourself to yourself? Silly Zhu’s wife has run away, and the child will naturally be in trouble. This time, it can be regarded as a real blow to him, so that he will never be able to turn over in his life.
"Let go, let go. There are so many people watching. Besides, my stomach can't be squeezed now." Seeing Xu Damao hugging her happily and not letting go, Qin Huairu felt indescribable disgust in her heart, but she could only use her stomach as an excuse. Let Xu Damao let go, she was not interested in this pig-kidney face at all, but for Li Huaide's plan, she could only endure it.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes, be careful, mother, I, Xu Damao, have a baby. By the way, did the doctor say it's a boy or a girl?" Xu Damao's face turned red and he was anxious. asked.
Qin Huairu looked at this pig-kidney face like an idiot, and said angrily, "It's not as big as a soybean now. Who can tell the difference clearly? If you don't know, don't tell me. It's embarrassing."
Xu Damao scratching Head said, "How did I know this? If you don't understand, just ask. Come on, come on, be careful, I'll help you."
Qin Huairu dodged in disgust, "It's still very early now. , no impact, left”
Xu Damao was radiant now, like a victorious rooster. He ignored Qin Huairu's disdain and grabbed Qin Huairu's arm again. Regardless of the woman's objection, he helped him out of the outpatient clinic building, smiling and reminding him from time to time as he passed by. Patient. "Sister, be careful. This is a pregnant woman. Look at it." Click."
Qin Huairu looked dumbfounded, "I don't even know how to show my belly. If you let people look at me like this, get away." Xu Damao then licked his face and let go, but he was a little at a loss. Walking beside Qin Huairu, the two walked to the carport. Xu Damao took the car and turned around to ask.
"You shouldn't be shaking now, how about I push you home?"
"You're not so delicate. Besides, I'm an adult sitting in the back. How can you push me? What are you doing?" You want to throw me down on purpose," Qin Huairu's emotions were very complicated and she was a little impatient when she spoke, but Xu Damao still smiled and didn't take it to heart at all, and patted his forehead.
"That's right. I'll beat you to death for making my sister unhappy. It's your fault. Come on, get in the car and I'll take you back."
The two of them walked out of the hospital gate. From a window upstairs, a figure was watching the two of them leave. He whispered a few words to the people in the room. After a while, he put out his cigarette, opened the door and went downstairs. Kou suddenly froze.
"Why are you here?" (End of this chapter)
