Although the two get along, there are times when they are troubled, Cao Changjiu doesn't know when he started, and a few out-of-tune "bird words" often pop out of his mouth, and the old man doesn't know anything about other languages and doesn't care. But until Cao Changjiu's mouth burst out of his mouth, the old man couldn't believe his ears.

When the old man fell into the grass in his early years and beat the Japanese with his beard, he practiced an authentic Japanese dialect, and it was only by this that he was born and lived until now, and the old man, who hated the Japanese to the core, immediately questioned Xiao Changjiu: "What do you say? How can I listen like Japanese?"

Looking at the old man's vicious appearance, Cao Changjiu replied timidly: "What I saw in the book, I learned." ”

The old man was a little surprised, and then asked, "Do you know how to read?"

Cao Changjiu nodded honestly.

"It's a strange day," thought the old man.

Immediately, he became angry again, and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, is literacy for you to learn how to speak as a devil?"

Cao Changchang hugged his head and explained: "It was my grandfather who told me the story of the devil killing people, and I also want to fight the devil." The book says that if you want to defeat your opponent, you must understand your opponent, so I learned foreign languages. I won't dare next time, grandpa. ”

The old man was not angry but happy, and laughed and said: "You still want to fight devils because of your broken Japanese? Haha, if you go to answer the Japanese soldiers like this, you will die eight times, come, grandpa will teach you!"

In this way, conversing in Japanese when there is nothing to do has become a daily entertainment for the couple.

Time is like flowing water, and in Cao's long memory, it seems that his thinking began to switch constantly at a very young age, just like two lives. This made him very distressed, and it was a bad feeling to wake up at the age of two today and become thirty-three years old and sleep again and go back to the age of two. There is no Lao Zhuang's comfortable leisure at all, more is confused, the two-year-old experience is fine, the person is vague and confused, and the adult life makes him crazy, he is afraid of communicating with others, afraid that others will find out his secrets, afraid of being arrested for research, and dare not tell anyone.

Cao Changjiu was under great pressure all day, and he could feel the fear of being a six-year-old, surrounded by everything, but unable to communicate, as if there was a piece of glass between him and everything.

Loneliness, at such times, is magnified to an unbearable degree. Fortunately, he found a lot of words to relieve the long-term stress, otherwise he was really not sure if he would have gone crazy.

So he began to read frantically for a long time, and he read any book until one day, he was surprised to find that he hadn't dreamed for a long time.

Cao Changjiu is finally no longer afraid of waking up to be human, the sky is blue, the grass is green, everything looks so beautiful - finally confirmed what he is - 13-year-old boy Cao Changjiu, born in 1963, his parents died early, and his grandfather depended on each other.

Cao Changjiu is very satisfied that he has lived a normal life, but it seems that God has to tease him again. In August of 76, the old man who had been adopted for a long time died of illness, and Cao Changjiu was very sad, because he was completely lonely in this world, and a loved one was gone. At that time, Cao Changjiu held the old man's hand and cried, but he was not qualified to compete with death, so the old man left quietly. The old man died, leaving no property behind.

Before he died, he entrusted Cao Changjiu to his old subordinates, and after listening to the assurances of his old subordinates, the old man closed his eyes peacefully.

The old man's subordinate surname is Gao, the commander of the active artillery regiment. Both of them are monkeys, he is a round younger than the old man, let's call him Gao Tuan. Gao Tuan is 1.87 meters, tall and tall, a typical northerner, and the death of the old chief made him very sad. The old man also has no relatives, friends, leaders and superiors, and his direct line is Cao Changchang, and the funeral is simple.

Gao Tuan's family members followed the army and lived in Beijing, so Cao Changjiu naturally transferred to Beijing.

76 years is the era of the fall of ***. Since then, China's new century is about to begin, and our protagonist is finally going to start doing things, and things have to start from 77 years.

Cao Changchang has been in Gao Tuan's house for a year, and his chaotic life for many years has made him a little withdrawn, but this can't withstand the washing of time and the care of Gao Tuan's family, Cao Changjiu feels that this is the easiest time he has ever had in a few years (decades?), if there is a regret, he can't do what he likes most - reading books, because there are not a lot of books here.

The human body is very strange, once a habit is formed, it is difficult to give up, and it can be said that everything is addictive. After several years of uninterrupted and indiscriminate reading, once I suddenly found that there was no book to read, I felt empty in my heart.

Cao Changchang understands that his body and mind are different, not just a little bit. Because, in the early years, I saw those warehouse-full things vividly, and I seem to be gifted in memory alone.

Cao Changjiu specially tried this, he took Gao Hong's junior high school textbook and flipped it through it once or twice, and then he didn't forget it. It was simply amazing, and it directly contributed to his mastery of many Chinese, not only Japanese.

Of course, Cao Changjiu will not say this to others, in the crazy era, it is a bit dangerous to be different.

Gao Tuan has two children, both girls. The eldest Jane works at B University, has her own family, and usually doesn't come back. The little one is called Hong, only 13 years old, in junior high school, a playful little girl. This girl has been ecstatic since she came for a long time, because she finally found someone younger than her, and Xiao Changjiu is usually teased by her. He also likes to mess with her, and for him the frolic of family affection is a happy thing. After all, Cao Changjiu is only thirteen years old, and although the strange dreams of the past few years have made his personality chaotic, it does not hinder his game nature, and even more crazy.

Originally, Gao Tuan wanted Cao Changjiu to go to elementary school, but he was fiercely opposed by Changjiu himself.

In Gao Tuan's view, Cao has wasted a lot of time by following the old man for a long time, and it is true that the little baby has learned some culture. But how can Cao Changjiu have that mind, with the foundation in his dreams, he has been used to being alone since he was a child, and he wants to experience China's "quality education" again.

So, after several high-intensity confrontations, Gao Tuan had to temporarily shelve the plan indefinitely, and thought with a wry smile, yes, let him play, it's a big deal to go through the back door and let this kid be a soldier.

Gao Hong has been interested in the little guy who came to her house from the beginning, and the girl's nature makes her take it for granted that she is Cao Changjiu's protector, and outsiders want to make up their minds about Changjiu is an infringement of his private property.
