Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Zhuang Yan left the Tiger Brigade at the end of the month.

For the Tiger Brigade, solemnity is almost a spiritual symbol.

He transformed this brigade from a motorized infantry regiment into a special operations brigade and formed combat effectiveness.

In the past few years, every soldier has seen Zhuang Yan's contribution to the Tiger Brigade.

It was as if the brigade commander had never left his post.

I don’t know how many times the brigade commander suddenly appeared on the side of the training field, standing there as quietly as a tree and watching without saying a word. After watching, he could always point out the problems in the training.

However, Zhuang Yan has a characteristic. He will not criticize soldiers, he will only tell them what to do, but he is not so polite to officers.

When you criticize an officer, your words are extremely damaging and cruel.

However, no matter how harsh he was, the officers from top to bottom in the brigade all admired him from the bottom of their hearts, and even after being scolded in tears, he came back without even a single complaint.

Now, the brigade commander is leaving, and everyone suddenly finds that they have never felt empty in their hearts, as if they have lost some support and have no bottom.

Before leaving, Zhuang Yan called Li Zheng over and had a meal in the brigade commander's building.

The Brigade Commander's Building is a dormitory area not far behind the brigade headquarters.

Two of the buildings housed cadres above deputy brigade level. One of the buildings was occupied by Li Zheng and political commissar Luo Ruo, so it was also called the brigade commander building.

Political commissar Luo Ruo moved away a year ago and was transferred to the local military division as commander. Now the new political commissar Wang Zhiqiu has moved into the brigade commander's building.

When the solemn call came to the first company, Li was watching the subject training on the training ground. He was not at the company headquarters, so the correspondent answered the call.

The correspondent wanted to call Li Zheng back, but Zhuang Yan said no, and asked him to come directly to my house after finishing exercises in the afternoon, and I would treat him to dinner.

The correspondent stood upright with the microphone in hand, as if the brigade commander was standing in front of him, shouted "yes" at attention, put down the phone and went to the training ground to inform Li Zheng.

It was dusk then, five o'clock in the afternoon.

When Li Zheng heard that the brigade commander invited him to dinner, he immediately realized that Zhuang Yan would definitely be leaving in the next few days.

The relationship between him and Zhuang Yan is not as simple as ordinary superiors and subordinates.

Zhuang Yan is half of his sniper master. The two of them are both teachers and friends, and their relationship is extraordinary.

So he didn't dare to neglect, told Zhang Jianyong, and hurriedly returned to the company, wiped his sweat with a towel, drove a Warrior car and ran to the brigade headquarters.

When he arrived at the brigade commander's building, Li Zheng, who was sweating profusely and wearing camouflage uniforms, thought this was a farewell meal between men. Unexpectedly, he entered and found that the brigade commander's house was full of people.

Political commissar Wang Zhiqiu, deputy brigade commander Han Xiaobei and others were also there.

What surprised Li Zheng even more was that he saw Zhuang Yan's wife and children.

The brigade commander's sister-in-law has always been a legend to everyone.

There are many rumors about my sister-in-law, but one thing is the same. It is said that my sister-in-law’s natal family has deep roots and she is also a red descendant. However, no one in my sister-in-law’s generation is in the army. My sister-in-law herself is a business elite and is well-known in the hall. , the kind that can be used in the kitchen.

There are also rumors that even though the brigade commander talks a lot on the training ground and stands there with an air of intimidation and no anger, he is a strict wife at home...

"Li Zheng, are you here?"

Wearing an apron solemnly, he greeted Li Zheng at the door of the kitchen: "You find a place to sit by yourself. I will cook today. You can try my cooking. Just treat it as if it were your own home. Don't be restrained."

After saying that, the person turned around and entered the kitchen.

Li Zheng saw Zhuang Yan dressed like this for the first time. He was stunned for a long time and forgot to answer. He didn't come back to his senses until Han Xiaobei, who was sitting on the sofa, called him.

"Li Zheng, why are you standing there? Come here for tea, and we'll start eating when the brigade commander is done!"

Han Xiaobei didn't think of himself as an outsider. He was as carefree as if he were at home.

How could Li Zheng, a company-level lieutenant, have the nerve to sit back and wait for his meal?
So he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'd better go help in the kitchen. Chief, you guys sit down."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and tried to enter the kitchen, but was stopped as soon as he turned around.

"Li Zheng, please sit down, there is no need to help. This is home, you are the guest, and it is my and solemn duty to entertain guests."

The voice is clear and gentle, with a calmness and tranquility, which makes people feel like taking a breath of spring breeze.

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment and saw the person clearly.

In front of him was a middle-aged woman, with a grace that emanated from her bones.It's not rich, not flashy, not strong, not dry, not enchanting, but makes people feel a sense of gentleness and kindness, and this tenderness and kindness is the best gift that time has given her.

Li Zheng shouted knowingly: "Hello, sister-in-law."

"That's Li Zheng, right?" Lin Qingying looked Li Zheng up and down in front of her and said in an appreciative tone, "You are indeed a talented person."

Zhuang Yan stuck his head out again in the kitchen and asked, "Honey, do you look like me back then? Do you have a bit of my style back then?"

Lin Qingying smiled sweetly and said: "You are you, Li Zheng is Li Zheng, you are not as handsome as Li Zheng."

When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing.

Li Zheng had no choice but to find a seat on the sofa.After sitting down, I found a boy sitting next to me, about twelve or thirteen years old, playing with his mobile phone with his head down.

Li Zheng glanced at it and found that he was playing a shooting game, and he was playing it very well.

Suddenly, Li Zheng felt someone behind him.

This is a sniper's instinct.

He turned around and found a little girl with two braids pointing up to the sky, lying on the back of the sofa looking at him, with a sweet smile on her face, and a pair of small but extremely beautiful eyes looking at him carefully.

"Fuck!"

The little boy was killed in the game and he cursed casually.

Li Zheng was suddenly startled, a little surprised.

The little boy seemed to realize that he had made a mistake. He turned his head to look at himself and suddenly asked: "Are you the No. 1 Li Zheng in the International Sniper Competition?"

Li Zheng was stunned again.

The little boy in front of me should be the eldest child of the brigade commander's family, and the one lying behind should be his little girl.

He could only nod: "Yes, how did you know?"

The little boy said: "My dad mentioned you when we were having dinner at home, because he was not that happy when I got [-]% in the test, so I am deeply impressed by you."

Li Zheng was very interested in the little boy's imitation of an adult's tone.

So he said, "Isn't your dad happy that you got [-]% in the test?"

"I'm happy," the little boy said, "but not as happy as when you won first place."

Speaking of this, he seemed a little disappointed.

Then he added: "Maybe one day I will serve as a soldier and be like you, then he will be proud of me."

Before Li Zheng could answer, another man in casual clothes spoke from another side: "Go, go, why are you still a soldier? Your father has already used all your soldiers!"

Li Zheng turned around to look and saw this man wearing casual clothes, well maintained and looked younger than the brigade commander.

He didn't know who this was, so he nodded and smiled at him as a greeting.

The little boy said to the man in casual clothes: "Uncle, I know you are unhappy today."

The man seemed to have been seen through, and felt a little awkward. He hurriedly defended: "Why am I unhappy? Am I unhappy? Xiaowen, don't talk nonsense!"

The little boy said: "You always want my dad to change his career, but my dad is going to the National Defense General Class this time and will never be able to change his career in this life. Of course you are not happy."

The man in casual clothes adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "What do you, a kid, know about adult matters?"

The little boy added: "Uncle, stop pretending. I have seen you trying to persuade my mother to change his career several times."

The man in casual clothes didn't seem to want to continue this topic, so he said: "By the way, Xiaowen, Apple recently released a new mobile phone, uncle will give you one?"

Li Zheng snickered in his heart.

This uncle was pierced by his nephew, so he quickly tried to induce him.

Unexpectedly, the little boy refused solemnly: "Uncle, my dad said that if you are not allowed to buy a fruit phone, he can't use it because it will leak secrets."

His uncle's face froze again, and he said that you kid...have the same virtues as your father, okay, you don't want me to save money.

Li Zheng, Han Xiaobei and the others chatted about training for a while, and then dinner was served.

When sitting around a table, of course the host will speak first and start the meal.

"Comrades."

Zhuang Yan raised the beer in his hand.

"I'll make an exception tonight. I'll drink some. You can do whatever you want. The organization has decided that I will report to the National Defense University in ten days. I have completed the handover today. I haven't spent much time with my family these years, so I am selfish. I will follow them tonight. Go back to the capital, so this meal is a temporary farewell party for us. I believe that we will meet again. I know everyone’s support for me over the years. You also know that I don’t like long speeches. Come on, fight. Friendship is all in the wine, so I won’t say more, I’ll drink first as a token of respect.”

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.

Zhuang Yan took the lead, raised his head and drank from the cup.

The others followed suit and finished it in one gulp.

The meal lasted only an hour. When it was time to leave, Zhuang Yan grabbed Li Zheng and asked him to go last.

After he was sent downstairs and everyone else left, Zhuang Yan turned around and said to Li Zheng: "I have something to tell you. Old Baimao called me and said that Old Sun wanted to see you. I have already told Brigadier Han about this, and he agreed to give you two days off to go see Lao Sun."

"Old Sun wants to see me?" Li Zheng was a little surprised.

Ask for a monthly pass!
