Ballistic Silence of Special Years

"Hey? Why are you back? Why didn't you inform me in advance when you came back? You kid! Why do you always give me sneak attacks? It was like this last time, and it will be like this this time too! I don't want to do this! At least tell me in advance, and let me know I’ll prepare it for you!”

When she opened the door and saw her grandson Li Zheng standing at the door, Xu Xiuqin was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She was surprised, delighted and delighted. She grabbed Li Zheng's arm, looked left and right, and forgot to let go.

"grandmother……"

Li Zheng looked inside the room and saw Chen Gang sitting at the dining table, holding a full bowl of rice in his hands and shouting. He couldn't close his mouth and almost fell out.

"Li Zheng...is back?"

Li Zheng smiled and said: "Grandpa Chen, are you here? I'm back for vacation..."

Then he looked at grandma Xu Xiuqin with a smile: "I didn't disturb you two, did I? How about I get a room in a hotel outside?"

Xu Xiuqin's face turned red, and she reached out and pinched Li Zheng's arm: "Xiao Zheng, what are you talking about? Come in quickly!"

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Li Zheng's bag.

Li Zheng refused and said I would do it myself.

When they entered the living room, Li Zheng put his bag on the sofa and took a large look around the room.

It is said that the furnishings in this home reflect a person's mood.

For many years, Li Zheng lived with his grandmother in the old dormitory of this elementary school.

At that time, due to the earthquake, both parents passed away, and my grandma lost her son and daughter-in-law, leaving only a grandson. Therefore, although the house was tidy, many of the furniture and furnishings were in cold colors, making it look a bit lifeless.

Looking at it now, the situation is completely different.

All the photos on the wall have been replaced with new wooden frames, the sofa in the living room has been replaced with a brown leather sofa, the coffee table has also been replaced with walnut wood, there is an oversized LCD TV on the TV wall, and Li Zheng's hanging on the wall behind the sofa The plaque of "First Class Meritorious Service".

Then there is the table. There is a bouquet of flowers in a glass vase. The flowers are definitely not bought in a flower shop. At first glance, you can tell that they are small wild flowers that came back from the surrounding suburbs. Although they are not precious varieties, they are full of vitality. There is style.

In the small dining room, the dining table has also been changed, covered with exquisite white tablecloths. The kitchen has been renovated and replaced with a new Chinese kitchen system, which is clean and bright.

"Tut tut-"

Li Zheng couldn't help but smile happily.

In fact, he liked Chen Gang's involvement in grandma's life.

The elderly are most afraid of loneliness. If they have a companion by their side, they can take care of each other and hold hands. Even if they are looking at the sunset or the sunrise, life has color. It is always more human than being alone and watching the sunrise and sunset every day. Also more energetic.

"Your room is still available, take your luggage in yourself."

Grandma greeted Li Zheng, and Li Zheng said hello and entered the room with his bag.

Xu Xiuqin was nagging behind: "Put away your luggage and wash your hands. When you're done, come out to eat. Grandma will serve you a meal..."

After saying that, the man entered the kitchen and soon screamed again.

"Yo! I didn't even know you were coming back. This meal is simply not enough..."

Lao Chen listened outside and looked at his bowl full of rice. He looked a little embarrassed and said quickly: "How about I go make some noodles for Xiao Zheng."

Li Zheng came out of the room, stopped two awkward but enthusiastic old people, and said, "Grandma, Grandpa Chen, what are you busy with? I'll order takeout, add some rice and some food, and that's it?"It’s so convenient now, why bother doing it yourself?
So, dinner for two turned into dinner for three.

During the meal, Li was immersed in eating rice, and grandma stared at him more and more strangely.

Li Zheng noticed grandma's expression, so he said, "Grandma, I transferred some money to your card two days ago. Have you received it?"

"I got it." Xu Xiuqin said, "Grandma has a pension and doesn't need your money. Your money is reserved for my future granddaughter-in-law."

Then he asked again: "By the way, when will you and Xiaoqian officially get married?"

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "I am busy, but she is busier than me."

Xu Xiuqin said: "Marriage is a lifelong event. You are no longer young, so just do it. Grandma is old. Marry Xiaoqian as soon as possible and give me a fat great-grandson."

Li Zheng said: "I don't have the final say on this matter alone, and having a baby is not something I can do alone..."

Xu Xiuqin saw Li Zheng's perfunctory behavior, so she became unhappy and said, "Then if you don't get married, you will never get married..."

Li Zheng said, "How about I call Xiaoqian now and you tell her directly?"

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and pretended to make a call.

"do not!"

Xu Xiuqin stopped it immediately.

"You will disturb other people's work."

Li Zheng took back his phone with a smile.

He knows grandma.

Grandma is a face-saving person.

She also cherishes Shao Xiaoqian very much and will not rush others because she wants to hold her great-grandson. That would make her feel rude and disrespectful.

Li Zheng took back his cell phone and comforted his grandma, saying: "Don't worry, grandma, Xiaoqian and I have discussed it and we will do it next year."

Xu Xiuqin felt a little relieved after receiving her grandson's assurance. She nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you. Xiao Zheng, you can't break your promise." "No, no, unless there is force majeure." Li Zheng said, " If there is a mission in the army, I can’t tell.”

Xu Xiuqin was stunned, and suddenly felt that what she had just said was in vain.

She suddenly remembered something: "By the way, didn't you call me some time ago to tell me that you were going to lead the team for training? You also asked me not to call you for a while. It will take three months. Why did you just do this? In less than half a month, you’re already visiting our house?”

Li Zheng, who was cooking rice, paused for a moment, then put down the bowl, got up and went to the kitchen, shouting: "I'll fill a bowl of soup."

After filling the soup and coming out, Li Zheng said: "There was a temporary change in arrangements. The brigade sent me to study, but the study will have to wait for half a month, so I was asked to come back to rest first and reserve energy..."

Xu Xiuqin's eyes lit up: "Study? Further training?"

Li Zheng nodded: "Yes."

Xu Xiuqin said: "This is because the organization values ​​you and wants to promote you, Xiao Zheng, you have to work hard and don't make mistakes..."

"Cough cough cough-"

Li Zheng choked on a mouthful of soup and coughed violently.

"Hey, what's wrong with you kid? You're choking on the soup, and you're still a soldier!" Xu Xiuqin quickly stood up and patted Li Zheng on the back. While patting him, he said, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you here." .”

This matter finally passed so perfunctorily.

Li Zheng stayed at home for two days, getting up early every day and running around the county seat.

There is a river outside, and there is a greenway beside the river. A [-]-kilometer run along the greenway around the county seat is just enough for Li Zheng's appetite.

While running that day, I suddenly heard someone calling my name.

"Xiao Zheng! Li Zheng!"

Li Zheng hurriedly stopped, Xun Sheng turned around and saw that it was Lao Chen.

Lao Chen was wearing a straw hat and standing on the grass beside the greenway waving to him.

"Grandpa Chen! What are you doing here?"

Old Chen pointed to the river: "Fishing!"

Li Zheng went over to take a look with interest, and sure enough he saw six poles inserted on the fishing platform and the bait was thrown into the middle of the river.

"Are you interested in chatting with me, an old man?"

Lao Chen extended the invitation.

Li Zheng had nothing to do anyway, and he had nothing to do when he went back too early, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I also want to see you fishing."

Lao Chen led him under the tree, handed him a folding chair, and said: "This fish is caught at ten o'clock. After ten o'clock, the fish will not open its mouth when the weather is hot, and it will not open its mouth until four o'clock in the afternoon. Ten o'clock is exactly right. I'll go back after fishing and make you a sweet and sour carp for lunch."

Li Zheng said: "How do you know you can catch carp?"

Lao Chen said: "Experience!"

After saying that, he pointed to his head.

"I don't fight a battle I'm not sure about."

Li Zheng laughed: "I almost forgot, Grandpa Chen, you are also a person who has fought in the war."

Old Chen burst out laughing: "That was all decades ago. A good man would not mention his bravery back then..."

After finishing laughing, he changed the subject and said, "Xiao Zheng, you are not going to study this time on vacation, right?"

This time it was Li Zheng's turn to be stunned.

"It's for further study..."

Lao Chen said: "They are all soldiers. You can't hide this from me. What went wrong?"

In fact, Li Zheng had been feeling stuffy and stuffy in his chest. At this time, when Lao Chen, a veteran, asked him, he really wanted to speak out, but he didn't know where to start, and there were some things he couldn't say.

When he arrived, he turned around and asked: "Grandpa Chen, I want to ask something. Did you ever see soldiers who disobeyed orders on the battlefield?"

Old Chen was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect Li Zheng to ask this question.

But he still answered truthfully: "I've seen it."

"What happened in the end?" Li Zheng asked.

Lao Chen suddenly laughed and pointed at himself: "Me, that's just me..."

"what!?"

This time, it was Li Zheng's turn to be stunned.

I have a toothache and a headache, but I haven't recovered yet. I took medicine, so I'm sorry for my slowness in typing.

Ask for a monthly pass!
