Jolene was so active that she thought she loved to go far away, until she wandered on the train for more than thirty hours, and then on the train for nearly four hours, she was completely tired and paralyzed, and she no longer wanted to bring up the matter of going far away.

The luggage sank to the point of being outrageous, and every minute I wanted to kick it into the rails. It's still a powerful parent, obviously they're almost fifty, and they can still drag so many things, and they walk majestically. Jolene remembered her grandmother, who was also a powerful and tireless superman when it came to giving things to her children and grandchildren.

On the evening of the third day of junior high school, the Qiao family arrived in a small county town. When she arrived at the hotel, Jolene went upstairs with the key. Qiao Jianjun called her to move things, but she didn't answer after shouting several times, Qiao Jianjun went upstairs to see that she was actually asleep on the bed.

"Tsk, I'm still a kid!"

Jolene didn't sleep all night, kept looking at the time, and after waking up at five o'clock in the morning, she couldn't sleep anymore, and waited for her brother to come with her eyes open, and she was actually excited.

Mom and Dad woke up very early, and according to what was agreed in advance, Qiao Nan would come over to pick them up at eight o'clock. The Qiao family and his wife also dressed up for a long time, Li Lanzhi specially bought a peach-colored coat, which looked very festive, and she also bought a black coat for her husband, and as soon as Qiao Jianjun put it on, he immediately straightened up a lot.

Jolene sat on the bed and watched happily: "You are here to see your son, not to go on a blind date, why are you so attentive?"

Qiao Jianjun said: "You don't understand, maybe you still have to see his comrades-in-arms, don't dress up in spirit, isn't that a loss of face for your brother?"

The family was talking and laughing, and Qiao Jianjun's mobile phone rang. Jolene saw with her own eyes that her father's expression darkened a little. When he hung up the phone, he felt like he had lost his soul.

"What's wrong?" Li Lanzhi's voice changed.

"Qiao Nan's troops called, and a cadre said that there was a small group of terrorists in the place where it was connected to the Tibetan area, and the situation was urgent, and Qiao Nan went on a mission. ”

Li Lanzhi froze, and for a while, she sat on the bed weakly.

Qiao Jianjun wanted to comfort his wife, but he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak, and his expression was very strange.

Jolene's mood also fell from the clouds to the bottom, she wanted to force a smile, but she didn't laugh, and lay on the bed sullenly, covering her face with a pillow.

Qiao Jianjun's mobile phone rang again, and it was still the cadre's call: "Comrade parent, since you have come all the way, we still have to do a good job of reception." Qiao Nan is on official business, so let's send two soldiers to accompany you around. If we can wait for Qiao Nan to come back, that's the best, if not, then we can only say we're sorry. ”

Qiao Jianjun agreed a few times and relayed these words to his wife and daughter, Li Lanzhi was so angry that she cried: "I finally discussed a good time to come here, but it turned out like this...... Why does the country keep robbing us of our sons!"

The old couple was in a bad mood and complained to each other again. Li Lanzhi burst into tears: "The army doesn't want their families to come to visit their relatives during the Chinese New Year, so it's better for you to buy tickets for the first day of the Lunar New Year." Well, now the money has been spent, and my son has not been seen. ”

Qiao Jianjun blew his beard and glared: "I said forget it, I won't visit relatives, so who wants his son to be unable to sleep?

The more it gets to such a juncture, the more the couple is able to quarrel. Jolene had long since gotten used to it, and she covered her ears and looked at the ceiling in despair.

So, when the two young warriors came to pick them up, they saw such a picture of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Fortunately, Qiao's family still wants to save face, so they sorted out their appearance in a moment and greeted the visitor very politely. The two soldiers introduced themselves, one surnamed Xia and the other surnamed Chen, both of whom were squad leaders under Qiao Nan.

The two young men were shrewd and capable, and although they were stopped by the luggage brought by the Qiao family, they still moved all the luggage by dividing it by two.

"Uncle, we have a river valley here, it's quite famous, let's send you to visit there!" Maybe he wanted to infect this family shrouded in gloom, Xiao Xia said with great enthusiasm.

The Qiao family and his wife became wooden people, but Qiao Lin had the nature of a child, so she immediately agreed: "I want to go! Good brother, take me there!"

"Okay!"

The group got into a military jeep and headed towards the suburbs. Jolene looked curiously at the scenery outside the window, this place was so different from the port city. This is a small plateau, but because it is located in the southwest, it is not very cold, and the climate is similar to the late autumn in the port city.

The river is crystal clear, with golden leaves, and snow-capped mountains can be seen in the distance. Jolene fiddled with the camera, chirping excitedly. On the other hand, the parents on the side, they were depressed, their faces were like ashes, and they were not interested in everything.

When we got to the river valley, Jolene went to play below and took a few pictures. But the parents are wilting, and Jolene herself is not interesting. Xiao Chen and Xiao Xia discussed it for a while and proposed, "Uncle, aunt, or ...... Come with us to the army and have a look!"

Qiao Jianjun asked, "Aren't you a secret unit there, can you go in?"

"Yes, we're not completely closed. But I can only go to the dormitory, and I can't go anywhere else. ”

Li Lanzhi nodded and agreed: "I can't see Nan Nan, it's good to be able to go and see where he lives." ”

So the military jeep hit the road again, drove over the rugged mountain road, and drove into a silent barracks. The word "barracks" has a chilling majesty, and even Jolene, who is as lively as a little monkey, is as quiet as a lady.

Before getting out of the car, Qiao Jianjun advised: "Linlin, you put away your camera, you can't take pictures here casually, don't make trouble for the troops!"

Jolene hurriedly stuffed the camera into her bag, for fear that an oversight would even tire her brother.

The two soldiers led them into a very ordinary dormitory, if there is something special, that is, there was a burst of shaking cheers here: "Warmly welcome Qiao's parents and little sister to visit relatives in the barracks!"

They are like shouting slogans in normal times, obviously they have practiced before. Jolene was embarrassed by their shouting, and hid behind her parents with a red face.

After a while, Zhao Yu, who had been to Qiao's house, hurriedly came to see them. I haven't seen him for a year, and he has matured a lot. He even said sorry, there were too many things in the morning, and he really couldn't leave, so he didn't go to pick up Qiao's family. He comforted him again, if it goes well, Qiao Nan will come back soon, and they can see each other before leaving.

Qiao Jianjun endured the heartache, took his hand, and taught him earnestly-you are classmates in the military academy, and you are assigned to the same unit, this kind of fate is too rare. We must unite well and do a good job in the army.

Zhao Yu said yes again and again, and Qiao Lin pursed her lips and laughed. While his parents were talking to others, Qiao Lin pulled him over and asked quietly, "Brother Zhao Yu, aren't you cadres?

"Little girl, we are at the grassroots level, we have to live with the soldiers! What's the matter, do you feel that the conditions here are not good, and you feel sorry for your brother?"

"Not really, it's good here. It is...... I originally thought that I would have to whisper to my brother, so many people can't even whisper. Jolene was even more depressed and said, "Alas, now I can't even see my brother." ”

"I can't see your brother, there are still a lot of soldiers here, will you be a little happier to see everyone?" Zhao Yu pinched her little face lovingly.

"Hmm. Jolene nodded slightly: "Before I came here, I thought there were a bunch of supermen living here......!" There's nothing special here, it's different from what is shown on TV, and everyone is an ordinary person!"

"Little girl, it is true that the people who live here are ordinary people, but at the critical moment, they will all become superhumans. ”

The voice came from behind her, and Jolene looked back in disbelief to see the tall figure standing in the doorway, unable to believe her eyes.

"Brother, it's my brother, it's my brother!"

Jolene threw herself into her brother's arms and burst into tears.

Qiao Nan gave his comrades-in-arms a look, and everyone applauded very tacitly and cheered: "Welcome chief!"

Qiao Nan put down her sister and walked towards her parents with a smile, but before she could speak, Qiao Jianjun kicked over. Qiao Nan dodged very quickly, and said with a smile: "Comrade Qiao, so many people are watching, save me some face!"

The soldiers also stopped Qiao Jianjun, who was so angry, that they were out of breath, and persuaded one after another: "Our platoon commander also wants to give you a surprise, you are discouraged." ”

Qiao Jianjun was still struggling to kick his son, Qiao Nan smiled and said: "Old Comrade Qiao, it seems that you really miss your son! I listened to the reports of the two squad leaders on the road, and you actually cried!"

"You little rabbit cub, dare to lie to your parents like this, you are really itchy and itchy!"

Qiao Nan hugged his father eagerly and said, "Comrade Qiao, your daughter is hiding from you and running back from Germany, you are so happy;

Zhao Yu helped: "Uncle Qiao, a soldier was injured last night, and the injury was not light, Qiao Nan stayed in the hospital all night until the soldier woke up. He thought of this little prank, and it was entirely out of good intentions. You think, if that soldier can't wake up, Qiao Nan will have to stay in the hospital all the time, and he won't be able to see him. It's better to tell a little lie, if he can come back in time, it will be a big surprise, if he can't come back, then this lie can be fulfilled. ”

Qiao Nan said sincerely: "Dad, Mom, I was wrong, I frightened you two elders, and I will never do this again in the future." ”

"Little rabbit cub!" Qiao Jianjun was surprised and delighted, and the old tears were all over the place.

After their emotions stabilized, Qiao Nan said: "Actually, my lie is full of loopholes, if I really go on a mission, how can I tell you? ”

Qiao Jianjun couldn't think of anything else except scolding the "rabbit cub". It was still Jolene who was clever, she said: "If you don't eat the quick-frozen dumplings, they will be bad, hurry up and let the brothers in the cooking class cook them!"

Everyone avoided it, and Qiao Nan saw the things stacked in the base of the wall—two boxes of apples, two boxes of pears, a suitcase containing the new clothes his mother had bought for him, a whole box, and a smaller foam box with a whole box of mackerel-filled dumplings. Needless to say, it was all wrapped by Qiao Jianjun, and then quick-frozen and packaged.

Qiao Nan couldn't imagine how two old men who were almost fifty years old and a weak little girl could hold so many things.

He glanced to the side and saw two small trailers that had lost their wheels. Without saying a word, he turned away and hugged his parents again.
