On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, at half past ten o'clock in the evening, this little-known small county town in northern Shaanxi was snowing one after another.

The sturdy military boots "crunched" on the snow, and listening to the footsteps, there were many people.

"It's finally here! Hey! This is a ghost weather! As soon as you enter northern Shaanxi, it snows non-stop! That icy downhill road! It's really scared to death!"

"I can finally take two sips! On the road, I can't even smell the wine!"

"The cooking class knows that the brothers are here today, so they specially wrapped dumplings to make mutton pots, and after putting the luggage later, let's warm up!"

"Lao Qin, you've been friends for many years, and you've arranged it too thoughtfully!"

"It's not easy for the brothers to go on a mission this big New Year! Is this a matter of course? I'm afraid that you won't be used to eating the food here! I'll have to take care of it later!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

"Girl, don't you freeze your feet?"

"I'm wearing two pairs of socks!"

"I didn't expect it to be so cold this year!hiss~"

……

The group came from a warehouse not far away, and while talking, they walked through a small clearing to the troop guest house.

The materials have been handed over, and the group is relieved, and they are all excited when they hear that there is delicious food!

Even Lin Yi couldn't help but jump up, and even his steps were a little looser!

The others each carried a simple duffel bag, only Lin Yi carried a suitcase, and the wheels ran over the cement floor in front of the guest house, all the way "round and round"......

There was a thick cotton curtain hanging in front of the guest house, and the snow on the collar of Lao Qin's bombing army coat bent down to open the curtain.

Immediately, Lin Yi heard a burst of high-pitched "Shandandan Blossoming Red Yanyan" flowing out of the room:

“……

Thousands of households, cough, cough, cough

Open the door

Hurry up and welcome our relatives in

……”

"Hey, Master, why are you here? Where's Xiao Wu? Isn't she on duty today?"

Lin Yi followed the crowd inside, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard the surprised question of Lao Qin, who was in charge of the reception.

Lin Yi tilted his head and looked in through the gap between the arms of the two people in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, there is a long horizontal hall, and the staircase is in the middle facing the door.

There is a counter on the left hand side of the door, and on the right hand side is a row of reddish-brown solid wood stools, with a coffee table that looks very old.

At this time, there was an old lady with gray hair and a ** hat sitting on the edge of the counter, and there was no one else.

She had a brazier at her feet, a radio in her hand, and the collar of her rather old military coat was slightly open, revealing a section of her Air Force uniform.

She seemed to be napping just now, and she woke up after listening to Lao Qin's question.

"How many years have I been retired, what kind of teacher do I still call! Remember it next time! Just call me Lao Xu. Xiao Wu, this child, I let her go back to rest, this Chinese New Year, she still has to take the child! Anyway, I am idle, so I will give her a substitute class. ”

The radio "snapped" off, and the song stopped abruptly halfway through, and the old lady looked at the crowd of people blocking the door.

"This is a comrade-in-arms from Xijiang, right? Come in and rest! I'll take a look, where is the registered book......

The old lady looked at the counter for a while, and Lin Yi realized that she was not tall.

Lao Qin hurriedly stepped forward: "You always sit down quickly! There is me here! I'll come, I'll come!"

"I'll leave it to you!"

I just said that I was substitute for work, and I didn't care about it in the blink of an eye, is it really okay?

However, this is a guest house inside the army, which is not open to the public, and there are acquaintances who come and go, so there seems to be nothing wrong with this.

"Hello Chief!"

Lao Yu took his subordinates to stand up and salute, and the old lady immediately turned around and saluted back:

"Comrades have worked hard!"

Without waiting for others to say anything, seeing a little girl crooked in the crowd, peeking cautiously like a mouse, the old lady's eyes lit up!

"You're Lin Yi, right? I've been waiting here for a long time, so hurry up and call your grandma back! Really, I call every day, and I can't sleep, I can't help it!"

Although he said that he couldn't help it, he had a happy look on his face.

Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said hello very obediently:

"Hello Grandma Xu! The younger generation is Lin Yi. ”

Before Lin Yi finished speaking, the old lady had already started to dial the phone, and she was doing things very quickly.

Lin Yi knew when she looked at it that it was her home phone number.

Without looking at the phone book, you can dial it casually, it seems that the relationship with your grandmother is not bad, and Lin Yi's smile is more sincere.

The phone dialed almost instantly, and the old lady had been waiting!

Although separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Lin Yi still feels very warm in his heart!

"Hey, here, here, here, pick up someone! Okay, okay, okay! Don't worry! Why don't you come together? I don't want to pay attention to you! Come on, little girl, say a word, let your grandma listen!"

"Grandma!"

"Hey, I want to listen to your Grandma Xu!"

"You're ......"

As soon as the grandparents and grandson spoke, the old lady immediately hung up the phone with a wicked smile, and childishly pulled out the phone line......

Lin Yi: "......"

Others: "......"

This old chief seems to have a tendency to get younger and younger as he gets older.

"Okay, okay! Come with me! Come and stay with me! These big men have a place for them to go! You don't have to worry!"

Seeing that she was going to come to help carry the box, Lin Yi hurriedly excused herself.

This old lady looks at least seventy, how embarrassed is she!!

"We are going back tomorrow, there are still many things to do, Xiaoyi, you have to be good here! Old Xu, Xiaoyi will please you! If it is just right for us to come next time, we will bring her back!"

"Thanks, everyone, bring this girl over! I'll take her home. Go back and wait for her to go back, I'll see the situation and arrange, you just have to do the task yourself!"

A phone call proves the identity, and the handover is done quickly after the pick-up and pick-up, and the whole process is crisp and neat, without any mud and water.

Lin Yi had to hold his rumbling stomach and carry the box with him.

Dumplings and mutton pot or something, she doesn't want to eat it......

The old lady lifted the curtain and went out first, Lin Yi followed behind, seeing that she was so cold that she shrunk her neck, she hurriedly pulled out a big red wool scarf from her backpack and put it on her.

"Grandma Xu, don't freeze! I'm really sorry to wait for me for so long! It's snowing heavily today, and the convoy arrived several hours later than expected. ”

The old lady saw that her collar was buttoned to her chin, she was wearing a big mask, and the leather gloves on her hands looked very warm, so she didn't refuse.

"Let's go, let's go! I'll stew you soup, go back and give you a hot drink! It's windy, let's go home and talk!"

"Okay, Grandma Xu!"

Although the old lady is old, her body is quite strong, and she walks fast all the way!

Lin Yi followed her all the way, bluffing her hands, for fear that she would fall.

"Don't worry! I've lived in this courtyard for decades, and I can't fall with my eyes closed!"

Seeing that Lin Yi was still following closely, she didn't say more, but she couldn't help but envy in her heart, feeling that Li Fengxia was really blessed to have such a good granddaughter!

The two of them left the military guest house, walked through the clearing into the woods on the right, and followed a path directly into the family home.

The old lady's house is not far away, and it is a courtyard house within a few steps of entering the family courtyard.

When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a few fruit trees in the yard, Chinese cabbage was planted in the open space, and the snow was covered like a quilt.

"Alas, it's here, it's here! Hurry into the house and warm up!

It's really hot in the house.,As soon as you enter the door.,It's like entering another world.,I can't wear a coat at all.。。

"You rest first, I'll go to the kitchen and give you a hot meal! ”

The old lady took off her coat and went into the kitchen, Lin Yi hurriedly took off her coat and put down her luggage, and followed in.

"Grandma Xu, I'll help you!"

"Alas, you girl, you really look like your grandmother! She was like this back then, the first time she came to my house for dinner, as soon as she entered the house, she was very diligent, no matter what I did, she had to help! No matter what she said! But she was not good at cooking, so she couldn't do anything! I had to clean up the mess for her! Anyway, how is your girl's cooking skills?"

Lin Yi: "......"

Although she said this, it seemed very kind, but she really wanted to ask: Grandma Xu, do you have any friends?
