XLIV. Sergeant Major

Time can't erase the firmness and strength imprinted on the steps of a soldier, even if you have been out of the army for a long time.

Qin Jinrong followed the sergeant major, passing by rows of old houses with red bricks and black tiles one after another, and walked into Building 7, which was painted with white paint, and went up to the fourth floor. Along the way, from time to time, people greeted Chen Guoguang, who was walking in front, and the greetings mostly contained sincere goodwill.

"Dad, you're back!" heard the sound of unlocking, and a crisp voice came from room 406.

"It's me, Wenli, I'm back, there's a guest, and I've opened the safety lock inside. Chen Guoguang twisted the key, and although the door was opened, there was a chain inside, knowing that his good daughter had returned from school.

After a while, the door opened, and what appeared in front of Qin Jinrong was a slim and delicate girl, with a melon seed face, about 16 years old, with black and shiny hair, long draped over her shoulders.

"Wenli, don't be afraid! Let me introduce you, this is a soldier I brought before, she has been discharged from the army, and she has come to Guangzhou to look for a job, so you can call her Brother Qin." I slept in my father's room at night, the weather was hot, and it should be okay to make a bunk on the floor!" Looking at Chen Wenli, who was a little scared in front of him, Chen Guoguang hurriedly explained, but he was sighing in his heart.

"Hello, my name is Qin Jinrong, a native of Shaanxi, and a soldier led by a sergeant major before!" Qin Jinrong saluted, showed his most sincere smile, and said.

"Uncle, you are uncle!" Chen Wenli was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "No, it can't be, uncle, he, he has been dead for many years." Tears unconsciously flowed out of his eyes, and his right hand covered his mouth tightly.

Qin Jinrong was also stunned, what is the situation? Uncle is dead? What's going on.

"Wenli, Wenli, it's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid! Chen Guoguang hurriedly stood next to Chen Wenli and said softly and comfortingly.

"Uh-huh------" said vaguely, and then the girl wiped her tears with the back of her snow-white right hand, and whispered, "Dad, I'm fine." Brother Qin, hello! Dad, I'll go out and buy you some snacks. ”

-------------------------

At night, Qin Jinrong, who was sleeping on the floor, couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, I don't know if it was because he was not accustomed to the water and soil or the scene in the afternoon was too weird.

"Can't sleep?" Chen Guoguang, who had his eyes closed, also turned around and said.

"Well, I can't sleep, and I don't know what's going on?"

"Are you wondering how I can have a daughter?"

"Hehe, I still can't hide it from the sergeant major, your discernment. Qin Jinrong turned his body, lay on his side, simply sat up, sat cross-legged, faced Chen Guoguang, and said, "Remember, Sergeant Major, you once told E, you don't have any relatives in your hometown, the army is your home, why is there a daughter now, even if it's true, the age is not right, when you left the army-------- I think she should be 16 years old, is she your adopted daughter?"

"Don't call me sergeant major in the future, it's been many years since the army came out, and I don't know the smell of gun oil. Chen Guoguang tried hard to recall the past time, and said, "Call me Brother Chen in the future." Do you know why I am an exception to you among the stubble of soldiers I have led?"

"I've always wondered if there are more soldiers than me. Although I don't want to admit it, this is the case, and the emphasis in the army is on strength. The foxes, wolf fangs, and owls in the reconnaissance company were better than me, and I was about the same as a hedgehog at best. Hehe, they always say behind their backs that you are biased, teach me the good first. Qin Jinrong also misses his former comrades-in-arms.

"That's right, it's not right. But in the final analysis, it is me who has a little selfishness towards you------ who made you look so similar to him, appearance, personality, temperament, that is, height, you are much taller!" Chen Guoguang sighed and said, "Little fox, they are all right!"

"Firefox and owl are discharged from the army with me, and wolf fangs and hedgehogs are still in the army. I talked to a few of them on the phone when I came, and I heard that they would also be returning. ”

"Why are they all discharged from the army? Aren't they playing the piano indiscriminately, the head of the military region, he doesn't care, you are all the elite of the army, there are only three of them when you leave, how can you take the team!" Chen Guoguang sat up at once and was shocked when he heard that the reconnaissance company he had led was three, and he was shocked! But after a while, he still slowly lay down, "Forget it, forget it, it's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let him be; the sky is falling, there is a tall man on top of it, what do I care?" ”

After a while, Chen Guoguang calmed down and said, "Where are you talking? Oh, who are you like!"

"Well, yes, my appearance is very similar to that of the sergeant major, oh, Brother Chen used to know someone, it's unlikely. "Qin Jinrong is very strange, although he is not the kind of public face, nor is he the kind of handsome guy Chow Yun-fat, but he is also relatively kind.

"Remember when I walked in the door, my daughter called you uncle. ”

"Yes, I was stunned. ”

"To be honest, the first time I saw you, I was also stunned, after all, that person gave me too deep an impression, but this is a bit far away. ”
