Chapter 513: Shen Xinyu's Gift (3/4)
After all, the army is a unit, not a friend's home, Yang Yi came back one day and met his old comrades. The next morning, after breakfast, they were ready to go back.
When parting, Yang Yi hugged his brothers one by one and said goodbye.
When it was Shen Xinyu's turn, he took out a tank made of bullet casings from behind him.
It's not particularly big, the size of Yang Yi's palm. The bodies of the tanks are all golden, obviously Shen Xinyu carefully selected those well-preserved bullet shells, and then polished them to remove the black stains on the bullet shells, so that they were so beautiful, and under the light of the morning sun, they also reflected a dazzling light!
"Old Yang, give this tank to your daughter to play with!" Shen Xinyu stuffed it into Yang Yi's hand and said involuntarily.
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, give such a toy to Xixi to play with?
However, the important thing is not what the gift is, but Shen Xinyu's heart, Yang Yi hugged Shen Xinyu with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother!"
"Sorry for letting you be reprimanded by the chief last night. Yang Yi said in a low voice.
However, Shen Xinyu raised his eyebrows, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "If your skills are not as good as others, you should be trained! What are you sorry for? Brother, you should let me see my shortcomings!"
Yang Yi smiled and patted Shen Xinyu on the shoulder.
Back to Murphy and Xixi, they were already waiting in the waiting room at the entrance of the barracks, Yang Yi took out the "tank" and said with a smile: "Xixi, look, this is given to you by Uncle Shen!"
"Wow!" the little girl did not know whether she thought the "tank" was exquisitely made, or was attracted by the brilliant golden light, and ran out of her mother in surprise, and looked at it with her eyes shining, as if she had seen some rare treasure.
Xixi's reaction was a bit unexpected to Yang Yi, who thought that she would not be interested in this kind of toy that boys play with. After all, when she usually takes her to buy toys, Xixi picks out the puppet dolls, plush dolls, or mini kitchens and mini nurse sets that little girls love to play with.
"Does Xi Xi like it?" Yang Yi handed it to Xi Xi and said, "You have to be careful with it, after all, it is glued with glue, and it may be broken if it falls on the ground." ”
Xixi didn't pay attention to it, she grabbed the somewhat heavy bullet shell tank with both hands, looked left and right happily, looked carefully, and was reluctant to let go at all.
Yang Yi also heard the little girl muttering while looking at the "tank": "Do you want to forgive Uncle Shen?" He fought with Baba, but, but, Uncle Shen lost to Baba. Then, Uncle Shen gave me such a beautiful car, and I won't be angry, Uncle Shen is a good person......"
Yang Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head at this child's logic.
However, Yang Yi can probably understand that Xixi doesn't like this gift because it's a tank, she should like this color and delicate appearance.
"Baba, can I put it at home, and then, let Xin'er come to my house to see it?" Xixi also raised her head, two little hands swinging this cartridge tank, and said happily to her father.
"Of course you can!" Yang Yi nodded.
"Did Shen Xinyu go back? He gave Xi Xi such a valuable gift, and Xi Xi didn't say thank you to Uncle Shen. Murphy walked over, looked at the cartridge tank in Xixi's hand, and felt very sorry.
"Back on, they still have a mission. It's not a valuable gift, it's just some bullet shells, and I usually throw a lot of discarded shells when I shoot at the target, and I can get a lot of them with the people in charge. Yang Yi said with a smile, "And I have also thanked Xixi." ”
"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, it's not easy for him to make this craft. And your thanks are not the same as Xixi's personal thanks. Murphy said.
"Ma Ma, what are you talking about?" Xi Xi held the cartridge tank for a while, and then felt that her hand was a little sore, so she took her father's hand and asked her father to help her hold it.
Yang Yi took it with his left hand, rubbed Xixi's little head with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Your mother said that she wants you to say thank you to Uncle Shen, which is as it should be, but Uncle Shen has gone back now, let's call him again next time to say thank you!"
……
Yang Yi drove a rented car and took Murphy and Xixi back to Spring City, singing and dancing along the way.
Looking at the vibrant mountains and forests in spring outside the car window and the flower fields of those characteristic villages along the road, Xixi couldn't stop her excitement, and sang the song "Where is Spring" dozens of times, so that Yang Yi and Murphy were about to vomit, but she was still happy and dragged Murphy to sing with her.
"Well, let's change it, you sing a song, then Ma Ma sings a song, then Baba sings a song, and then it's your turn to sing, okay? Let's see who sings the most songs!" Murphy finally found a way to play a game with Xixi in a compromise.
Perhaps because of the arrows in their hearts, it didn't take them long to return to Spring City.
However, Yang Yi has no plans to go back to Jiangcheng today. According to the plan, they will also spend another day in Spring City.
Wouldn't it be a pity not to come to such a beautiful place and not to experience the scenery of Spring City and taste the local specialties?
Therefore, they went directly to Dianchi National Park in the morning, Dianchi Park is a bit big, and after Yang Yi bought a ticket, he could drive Murphy and Xixi along the way.
It is said that Dianchi Lake was not so beautiful before, and even plagued by pollution, but under the vigorous management of Spring City, not only the water quality has been restored and become clean and clear, but the grassland along the coast has also been trimmed neatly, and it is refreshing to look at at it.
After leaving a lot of photo memories by the Dianchi Lake, at noon, Yang Yi and the others came to a rice noodle shop in Chuncheng for lunch.
"Come to Caiyun, you must try the rice noodles across the bridge!" Yang Yi said to Murphy and Xixi.
Xi Xi was very curious, she ran to the old woman and watched the old woman add ingredients to the big plate.
"No, I don't want chili, I don't want chili!" the little girl suddenly cried out, and she ran to her father, pouting and complaining, "Baba, I don't want chili!" ”
"I don't want to be spicy either. Murphy said quickly. Xixi doesn't like spicy food, she can't eat spicy food at all, which is exactly the same as Murphy.
This rice noodle shop is an old store, and the service standard is not as high as that of a big hotel, so the materials, including meat, sour bamboo shoots, etc., are directly packed on the plate, not separated by small plates.
Yang Yi stood up, smiled and said to the grandmother who stopped her movements in surprise: "I'm sorry, I've already put the plate of chili peppers for me, don't put spicy peppers for other troubles." ”
Finally, the food was served, and in addition to the previous bowl of rice noodles, there was also a large bowl in front of each person, which contained a thick soup stock, and was covered with a layer of fat boiled from chicken and duck meat.
Yang Yi was not so particular, he helped Xixi and Murphy pour the ingredients and rice noodles into the soup, mix them gently, the oil noodles scattered, and the originally calm soup noodles actually came out with white steam.
"It's hot! I can't eat it yet!" Yang Yi turned his head to see Xixi who was biting in his mouth with chopsticks, and said, "Before it gets cold, Dad will tell you a story first!"
"Okay, what's the story?" Xixi saw the water vapor of the soup and knew that it was very hot, so she turned her attention to her father from the food.
