Chapter 44: Sudden Dog Food
Sun Lei sat on the flower bed and watched the video posted by Fang Yongchao in the WeChat group intently, although the content of the video was already clear to him, Sun Lei still watched it over and over again. In the cold wind, on the flower bed, a lonely figure lowered his head lonely, looking at a repeating video waiting for the call of the organization.
After watching for a while, Sun Lei was distracted, although his eyes have been staring at the mobile phone, but his mind has long been unaware of where to fly, to the front line of support has always been Sun Lei's wish, from the moment he knew that the epidemic spread he was ready, and for a long time afterwards he has been working hard for this goal, but when everything is ready to set off, Sun Lei's heart is confused, this is a completely unfamiliar journey for him, I don't know what he will eventually encounter along this road, although he is not afraid of death, but the unknown risk is more frightening than deathγ
Sun Lei sat there thinking nonsense, at this time the phone rang, Sun Lei saw that the caller ID was from Zhao Lin, Sun Lei hung up the phone, got up and walked home.
As soon as Sun Lei got up, the phone in his pocket rang again, and Sun Lei had to answer the phone: "Hey! Linlin, is there something wrong? I'm busy." Sun Lei didn't dare to tell Zhao Lin that he was going to the front line tomorrow, although Zhao Lin agreed to go to the front line to support, but who can you guess the girl's thoughts, maybe this will have changed. "Husband, come back for a meal! I'll cook for you at home." β
"No, I still have something to do here, and I have to work overtime again today. Sun Lei then lied.
The other end of the phone was silent, and after a while, I heard Zhao Guoqiang's voice coming from the phone, "Xiao Lei, come back for dinner, I've been busy with your mother all afternoon, just waiting for you to come back for dinner." "Dad, I won't come back for dinner after working overtime today, you can eat!" Sun Lei said on the phone. "You kid is really good, do you want to hide it from us at this time? You will go to the front line tomorrow to support, and our family will have a good gathering tonight. β
Sun Lei was silent for a while and said, "Dad, forget it! When I come back, now I have to pack my luggage." "In fact, you don't need to bring any personal belongings to the front line to support this time, all the materials are supplied by **, as for packing up the luggage, it is even more nonsense, this is just a panic from Sun Leisa, in order not to go to the old man's house at this time to make trouble, after all, the fourteen-day incubation period is not for fun.
"You kid is real, I know what you're worried about, but we're a family, aren't we? Can we avoid you for fear of being infected? You're going to war tomorrow, we're going to see you off at home, no matter what the future holds, you're always an integral part of the family, son, come back quickly! We're waiting for you. Zhao Guoqiang said earnestly on the other end of the phone.
To tell the truth, Sun Lei was moved by Lao Zhaotou's words, and Sun Lei couldn't have imagined that Old Zhao Tou, who usually sneaked to drink a little wine and was drunk and dreamed of death, could say such tear-jerking words, and it was almost the same if Zhao Lin said this.
Hanging up the phone, Sun Lei struggled in place for a while, and then rushed home, Sun Lei returned home, cleaned up briefly, and then rushed to Zhao Lin's house. When he came to the door of Zhao Lin's house, Sun Lei stood there speechless for a long time, and only rang the doorbell after a while.
Zhao Lin opened the door with red eyes, and saw Sun Lei standing at the door with a tired face, Zhao Lin couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she stood at the door and covered her mouth and twitched quietly, her petite body kept shaking with the convulsions, and people couldn't help but want to hold her in her arms and pity. Sun Lei stood at the door, quietly watching Zhao Lin crying there heartbreakingly, wanting to hold Zhao Lin in his arms but didn't dare.
"Linlin, is Xiao Lei here?" Li Fenglan's voice came from the house. Zhao Lin heard her mother's voice, so she looked around, and saw that Sun Lei was standing at the door and didn't mean to enter the door, so Zhao Lin pulled Sun Lei and walked towards the house.
"Xiao Lei is here! Sit down, and we'll start eating in a while." Sun Lei's arrival obviously made Li Fenglan very happy, and the old man beckoned Sun Lei to sit down while turning around and walking towards the kitchen, and after a while, he came out with a bowl of steaming soup and put it on the table. γ
"It's time to eat. Li Fenglan greeted.
Sitting around the dining table, seeing that Sun Lei was preoccupied, Li Fenglan said: "Lao Zhao, don't you take out the wine you hid and drink it with Xiao Lei." When Zhao Guoqiang heard Li Fenglan's words, he exploded like a mouse that had been stepped on by his tail: "How can I hide wine, don't I keep the wine there all the time?" Zhao Guoqiang didn't dare to admit that he had hidden wine in front of Li Fenglan.
Zhao Guoqiang was about to continue to argue, only to see Li Fenglan keep staring at him, Zhao Guoqiang turned his head to look, only to see Sun Lei sitting there listlessly, and he held back his words when he wanted to justify, only to hear Zhao Guoqiang say: "If you want to say that you have a bottle of wine, I have been hiding a bottle for many years, and today when the family gathers, I will take out the bottle of wine and drink it, Xiao Lei! I tell you, that wine is definitely good wine, and you will know when you drink it." Zhao Guoqiang walked towards the bedroom as he spoke, and soon came to the dining table with a bottle of wine. It's no wonder that Li Fenglan knew that Zhao Guoqiang was secretly hiding wine, so it was strange that he hid in the bedroom without being discovered, and it was almost the same as hiding the bathroom.
Zhao Guoqiang returned to the dining table, poured Sun Lei a glass of wine, and then received the wine bottle next to him, with an expression as if others would rob him of his wine. Zhao Guoqiang picked up his glass and said: "Xiao Lei, Dad knows that you will go to the front line to support tomorrow, here Dad toasts you, you are good, I wish you a victory and an early victory." After Zhao Guoqiang finished speaking, he took a small sip of wine intoxicated. Sun Lei picked up the wine glass, took a small sip and put the wine glass on the table, and sat there with his head down without saying a word.
Li Fenglan beckoned everyone to eat vegetables, and kept putting vegetables into Sun Lei's bowl, Sun Lei had to pick up the bowl and eat in small bites, the depressing atmosphere made people breathless.
Seeing that the eyes of a table of people were all looking at him, Sun Lei put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said: "Dad, Mom, Linlin, I'm sorry, I made you worry, I'm going to the front line tomorrow, I don't know if I can come back this time, if I can come back with the medical team after the epidemic is controlled, I will give Linlin a perfect wedding, if I can't come back, I ask you to forget me as soon as possible, especially Linlin, promise me, if there is really that day, I don't want me." Sun Lei didn't know what he was talking about at all, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them.
"Child, what are you talking about! You are going to work, Zhun Bao can come back safely, our old couple is still waiting for you to come back to provide for us, and Linlin is also waiting for you to come back and marry her! How can you say frustrating words before you set off?" Li Fenglan reproached.
"Mom, I also want to come back safely, I'm just prepared for the worst. β
"Why are you so pessimistic about this child, you have to remember that it is your job to support, and we as family members cannot stop you, but it is your responsibility for you to come back safely, and it is also the ardent expectation of our family members for you, you have to take your own responsibility and give Linlin a happy family in the future. Zhao Guoqiang said on the side.
Hearing Zhao Guoqiang's words, Sun Lei retracted his hand from his pocket, originally when he came, Sun Lei came with a bank card, this time the future is uncertain, Sun Lei wants to explain the future, in case there is really a good thing, it will not be caught off guard at that time, but in this situation, it is impossible for him to leave a will, just the old Zhao Tou's grinning teeth, if Sun Lei dares to continue to say unlucky words, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be rubbed on the ground by Lao Zhao Tou on the spot, Lao Zhao Tou is a person with a criminal record.
Sun Lei still wanted to say something, at this time Zhao Lin said: "Sun Lei, if you are still a man, don't be hypocritical, since the day the epidemic broke out, you have been avoiding me intentionally or unintentionally, and even broke up with me, I know that you want to protect me, but I don't need you to protect me in this way, who are you Zhao Lin, will I stop you from going to the front line? Or will I leave you for fear of being infected?" You remember, you are the man I Zhao Lin recognized in my life, even if you really can't come back, I will be widowed for you, I will do my filial piety for you, here I only need you to promise me, you have to protect yourself when you go to the front line, and when the spring flowers bloom and the whole country celebrates, you come back to marry me, do you dare to agree?"
Sun Lei heard Zhao Lin's words and said, "I promise you." Zhao Lin roared: "Be louder, I can't hear it." β
"I promise you, I will marry you when the spring flowers bloom. "The situation is urgent, so I can't care about the old man and the mother-in-law on the side, and besides, this wave of dog food was sprinkled by their daughter, so you can't blame yourself for this, right?
Zhao Guoqiang and Li Fenglan listened with their ears pricked up when Zhao Lin just spoke, and after listening to Zhao Lin's loud words, the old couple only felt that they couldn't say it in their hearts, and they were worthy of being my old Zhao Tou's daughter, this character who dared to love and hate was obviously with me, and the old Zhao Tou's heart was stinky and thought, and when he looked up and saw his wife staring at him fiercely, the expression was clearly saying; "The girl's character is up to you, obviously it's with me, okay?" Zhao Guoqiang saw his wife's fierce expression, so he was defeated, and gave Li Fenglan a look of grievance, as if to say: "Whatever you want, your daughter's personality is up to you!" Li Fenglan raised her head arrogantly like an old hen who had won a battle.
Hearing Sun Lei's affirmative reply, Zhao Guoqiang and Li Fenglan put their minds at ease, even if this little bastard had a little conscience, he lived up to his bitter persuasion, if this stunned young man still didn't know how to advance or retreat, he couldn't say that he still had to get started, Zhao Guoqiang thought in his heart.
