Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 381 Father's Love is Silent
Afterwards, Li Jin and Liu Zhen went back together. On the way, Li Jin also asked about the situation of Liu Zhen's family from time to time, such as the harvest of the farm.

In this regard, Liu Zhen only said that it was barely okay, so that the family members would not starve to death.

Li Jin knew that many people in this era were having a hard time, and some soldiers in the army joined the army only to reduce the burden on their families.

This is how Liu Changshun signed up to join the army at the beginning, in order to let his younger siblings eat two more meals.

Not long after, Li Jin and Liu Zhen returned to the village. On the way, some villagers greeted Liu Zhen and asked who was next to Liu Zhen.

"This is Company Commander Li. He came to our village to recruit soldiers before, and my son has also returned. I heard that he has become a platoon leader." Liu Zhen said with a smile. When he talked about Liu Changshun, his face was full of pride.

His son is promising and has become an officer.

"Your son has become an official?!" The villagers were all taken aback. When they looked at Li Jin, they quickly asked: "Li Company Commander, are you still recruiting soldiers?! I have a son, can I join you as a soldier?"

"If you don't want to recruit now, if you have the opportunity, you will first." Li Jin said, the special warfare company no longer needs to recruit soldiers, and the new regiment is also fully recruited.

"It's like this..." The villagers were a little disappointed. Why didn't he let his son join the army? Maybe he could become an official or something.

When Li Jin came here to recruit soldiers, he didn't recruit many people. The other teenagers who fit the age were conscripted by the national army. Only Liu Changshun fell seriously ill and stayed.

"Stop talking, let's go back first." Liu Zhen stopped chatting with the villagers, but continued to walk home.

It's just that when he met villagers on the road, Liu Zhen couldn't help showing off to the villagers that his son had become a platoon leader.

This made Li Jin a little helpless, as soon as his son was promising, his parents would always show off his son's abilities outside.

Soon, the two returned to Liu Zhen's home.

Aunt Liu and Liu Changshun couldn't help coming out after hearing the movement.

"Ah, Platoon Leader Li, why did you buy so many things?!" Aunt Liu said in a daze.

"Xiao Liu asked me to buy these with his military salary, not me." Li Jin laughed.

"I have meat to eat today!" Xiaoya and Xiaoyu couldn't help being happy when they saw the pork that Li Jin was carrying.

Liu Changshun was stunned when he heard the words, when did he ask the company commander to go shopping, do they still have military pay? !Then he immediately understood that it was the company commander who wanted him to look good in front of his parents.

Aunt Liu couldn't help looking at Liu Changshun.

"I asked the company commander to buy it. I finally came back, so naturally I have to buy something." Liu Changshun said quickly.

"You, what are you spending so much money on if you have nothing to do? Wouldn't it be nice to save it to marry a wife in the future?" Aunt Liu accused. In her opinion, it would be nice if Liu Changshun came back safely.

"Daughter-in-law or something, let's talk about it later, I will take care of you first." Liu Changshun said, he didn't know if he would live that long in the future.

Liu Zhen didn't say anything, but just took the bacon into the kitchen.

Li Jin also went in, and he put the half piece of pork on the cutting board, and put the two chickens he was carrying into the coop.

"Uncle Liu, let's eat pork today, bacon or something, you can save it for later." Li Jin said, bacon can be kept for a long time, but pork is different, you can make bacon if you can't finish it.

"Okay." Liu Zhen nodded, turned and left the kitchen.

"Go and call the third child's family over and have lunch together." Liu Zhen ordered Aunt Liu.

"Okay." Aunt Liu nodded, and left the house to call for someone. Liu Zhen went into the kitchen again and started chopping meat for today's lunch.

Li Jin came to Liu Changshun's side and stuffed Liu Changshun with a pack of oiled paper.

"What?!" Liu Changshun looked puzzled.

"Candied dates, give them to your younger brothers and sisters." Li Jin whispered, this thing is still very popular with children, but most people in the village are reluctant to buy it, after all, they can't eat enough.

"Thank you, company commander." Liu Changshun said.

Li Jin didn't speak, patted Liu Changshun on the shoulder, turned around and entered the room.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoyu, come here and give you something to eat." Liu Changshun shouted to the two children, and squatted down himself.

"What a good thing?!" The two came to Liu Changshun.

Liu Changshun slowly beat the oiled paper, and there were more than a dozen candied dates inside.

"It's candied dates!" Xiaoya was very happy, she reached out and stuffed one into her mouth, so did Xiaoyu, both of them ate happily.

"Is it delicious?! Is it sweet?!" Liu Changshun couldn't help but smile when he looked at the two little guys.

"Yeah, sweet." The two little guys nodded their heads, and the smiles at the corners of their mouths never stopped.

"Brother, you eat too." The little girl picked up one and stuffed it into Liu Changshun's mouth.

"Brother, isn't it sweet?!" Xiaoya laughed.

"Yes." Liu Changshun nodded.

"I'll give one to dad." Xiaoyu said, picked up a candied date and ran into the kitchen.

"Father, you eat candied dates, and I'll feed you."

"You can't eat too much of this stuff."

"understood."

The voices of the two came from the kitchen, Xiaoyu ran out of the kitchen, and went to eat candied dates in front of Liu Changshun again.

After the two of them ate three times in a row, Liu Changshun hid the candied dates in the house. They still couldn't eat more of them.

Not long after, Aunt Liu brought a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and two little boys around five or six years old.

"Third uncle, third aunt." Liu Changshun greeted.

The middle-aged woman looked at Liu Changshun and felt a little afraid to admit it. Although she had already prepared herself, the Liu Changshun in front of her had changed a lot compared to before.

Not to mention the two little boys, they all suspected that the person in front of them was not the eldest brother.

"You two, don't hurry up and call your brother." The third uncle scolded the two sons.

"Big brother." The two little boys called out timidly.

"Hey." Liu Changshun laughed.

"Third brother, come in quickly and help boil the water to kill the chicken." Liu Zhen's voice came from the kitchen.

"Here you go, go pick some vegetables from the vegetable field." The third uncle ordered to the third aunt, and then entered the kitchen, and then the third aunt also hurriedly left to pick vegetables in the vegetable field.

Liu Changshun originally wanted to help, but Liu Zhen disliked being in the way and asked him to stay in the house.

Around 12:30 noon, lunch is ready.

Everyone set up tables and chairs in the yard for dinner.

Today's dishes are still very rich, braised pork, chicken soup, green vegetables, fried bacon, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of pickles.

After all, Liu Zhen didn't listen to Li Jin's order to save it for later, but made it in advance.

"Company Commander Li, you have a bowl of chicken soup first." Liu Zhen made a bowl of soup for Li Jin himself.

"Thank you." Li Jin said.

Then Liu Zhen made chicken soup for the others one by one. The children couldn't bear it any longer. They swallowed their mouths while looking at the dishes on the table.

They really haven't eaten meat for a long time. The dishes this time are richer than those of the Chinese New Year. They don't know when the next time they will eat.

During the meal, Liu Zhen looked at Liu Changshun and said, "Have you ever killed a devil on the battlefield?!"

"Well, I killed a lot, I'm not afraid." Liu Changshun nodded.

"That's okay." Liu Zhen nodded gratified. In the future, he will have the cost of bragging. His son has killed devils and even served as an officer.

"Xiao Shun is quite powerful. I heard that this devil is very powerful. He drove the national army around." The third uncle also said.

"No way, the devil's equipment and military quality are indeed better than the Huaxia troops." Liu Changshun said, except for the special warfare company, there is still a big gap between the other troops and the devil.

Afterwards, several people were asking Liu Changshun about the war, and Liu Changshun only replied a few words, and did not mention the danger involved.

"Eat first, I'm full, Xiao Liu, come with me." Li Jin got up and said.

"Okay." Liu Changshun put down the bowl and chopsticks, and quickly followed. Although the rest of the people were a little puzzled, they didn't delve into it.

Li Jin and Liu Changshun came to the open space behind the house.

"Company commander, what's the matter?!" Liu Changshun asked.

"You take the money and give it to your parents." Li Jin took out a dozen dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into Liu Changshun's hands.

"No, company commander, I can't ask for this!" Liu Changshun quickly refused.

"Stop talking nonsense, take it, or I will beat you up!" Li Jin stared.

"Thank you, company commander." Liu Changshun could only accept the money.

"Please keep your parents quiet about this money, keep it for yourself, and don't let others know about it." Li Jin reminded him not to reveal the money, especially in this era, it is easy to get himself killed.

"Understood." Liu Changshun nodded.

.........

A few minutes later, the dinner was over, and the third uncle and the others left Liu Zhen's house.

Only then did Liu Changshun call Aunt Liu into the room, and then handed Dayang to Aunt Liu.

"Mom, you take this money, save it for emergencies, and don't let outsiders know." Liu Changshun said.

"Where did you get so much money?!" Aunt Liu was stunned. She counted, and there was a total of 15 yuan.

"All my military pay is here." Liu Changshun lied.

"No, no, no, I can't take it all, so you can keep some too." Aunt Liu said, what if my son gave her all the money.

"It's okay. I'm in the army. The army will prepare everything for us. There's no place to spend money. It's useless to keep it. Just accept it." Liu Changshun said.

"Okay then, I'll save the money for you and use it for you to marry a wife in the future." Aunt Liu just accepted it.

"Well, mother, I'll go back to the base first, and I'll come back to see you later." Liu Changshun walked outside the house.

Li Jin and Liu Zhen were waiting in the yard.

"Are you leaving?!" Liu Zhen asked.

"Yes, it's been delayed for a long time. It's time to go back to the base." Liu Changshun said. He originally planned to go back at twelve o'clock, but he didn't expect that the dinner was late and time wasted.

"Okay, I'll see you off." Liu Zhen stood up.

"Brother, are you leaving?!" The two children were a little bit reluctant, their eyes were red, and they wanted to cry.

"It's okay, brother will come back in the future, you have to be obedient at home, you know." Liu Changshun pinched the faces of the two little guys.

"Understood, brother, when will you come back?!" Xiaoya asked.

"Soon." Liu Changshun said.

"Don't waste your brother's time, hurry back to the house." Liu Zhen reprimanded the two little guys with a straight face.

Watching his younger siblings go back to the house, Liu Changshun got up and left with Li Jin.

Liu Zhen kept sending Liu Changshun and the others off. Along the way, the father and son didn't speak, they were both silent.

Li Jin looked helplessly from behind, the two of them are more bored than the other, can't they say a few words, those who don't know think they don't know each other.

Liu Zhen has been sending the two of them out for three miles.

"Father, let's send it here." Liu Changshun broke the atmosphere by opening his mouth. If he hadn't spoken, Dad might still have to continue sending it.

"Well, you kid...be careful," Liu Zhen said.

"Got it, Dad, take care of your health too." Liu Changshun said.

Liu Zhen looked at Li Jin and said, "Commander Li, please take care of Xiao Shun, please."

After speaking, Liu Zhen bowed directly to Li Jin, and Li Jin was so frightened that he quickly helped him up.

"I will, you go back quickly." Li Jin said and left with Liu Changshun.

Liu Zhen just watched the two leave, until they disappeared from his eyes, then turned back with a sigh.

.........

Li Jin looked at Liu Changshun, the boy remained silent.

"Company commander, do you think my father doesn't care about me?! Since I was a child, my father has always been very strict with me." Liu Changshun said after a while. He felt that his father was a little cold to him. After he came back, Father didn't look happy either.

"You boy, if your father didn't care about you, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to town just to buy bacon. You wouldn't think that I bought the dish of bacon, would you?" Li Jin said.

Liu Changshun was stunned, and said, "My dad bought that bacon?!"

"Otherwise, why do you think I came back with your father? When I came back from the town, I happened to see your father.

He bought the bacon. You know the situation of your family. If he doesn't care about you, would he be willing to spend money on bacon? "Li Jin said.

Liu Zhen just didn't know how to express it, but his actions were no worse than any father.

"So it's like this, my father cares about me!" Liu Changshun became happy.

"Nonsense, when your father came back, he showed off to how many villagers that you had become a platoon leader, with a look of pride on his face,

It's just that he didn't show it in front of you. I'm afraid he's just being serious, so as not to make you too proud. "Li Jin continued.

"Hey, my father still has this side." Liu Changshun also grinned when he heard Li Jin's words. He didn't expect his father to show off himself to others. He thought his father would not be like this.

"So, it's not that your father doesn't care about you, but he's just not good at expressing it." Li Jin said, fatherly love is silent.

"En." Liu Changshun nodded, and when he raised his head, the depression on his face had disappeared.

.........

At 06:30 the next morning, Li Jin took Liu Changshun back to the barracks.

There were only a dozen soldiers left behind in the barracks, and the others, except the soldiers standing guard in the mountains, were escorting the villagers to Qinshan.

Li Jin and Liu Changshun didn't care so much, they went directly to the kitchen for breakfast, and after they were full, they went back to their dormitories to rest.

As soon as he lay down, the door of Li Jin's room was pushed open, and Zhao Xiaowu walked in.

"Captain."

"What's wrong?!" Li Jin got up helplessly.

"I want to say, do you still want to go to Guyuan County?! I haven't been there for several days." Zhao Xiaowu asked. Because of the exposure of the base area, he hadn't been to Guyuan County for a long time to talk to Chen. Shang Wen connected.

"Let's go in two days and see if there is any other situation over there." Li Jin said, the base area was exposed, and Guyuan County has already threatened this side, so it can't be treated like before.
