Chapter 30: Home
Dressed in the winter uniform of the Chinese Army, with a straight military uniform and black and shiny leather shoes, he is still very handsome when he sees himself in the mirror. I drove the car to my home in the base. The thought of seeing my mother soon, I was very excited. I bought something in Tokai City and rushed home. Didn't call my mom and wanted to surprise her.
My family is in the eastern district of Donghai City, and the speed is fast but still controlled, and I am not unscrupulous because I am driving a military vehicle. In my opinion, my mother is just a very ordinary woman, setting up a stall in the vegetable market in the East District, which is to sell seasonal vegetables from the countryside. I don't have any memory about my father, I was a young man at the time, and some of my peers called me a wild seed. I cried home and asked my mom where my dad had gone, why everyone else had a dad and I didn't. My mother told me in tears that my father was a hero, a man who stood up to the heavens and the earth, died in a battle, and asked me to be a hero like my father in the future. Since then, I have regarded my father as my goal, so my dream since I was a child was to be like my father, to be able to kill the enemy to repay the country and avenge him, although I don't know who my enemy is, but I now regard all the enemies as my enemies. This is all told me by Jiang Hao's memory.
At the base, I also tried to find my father's information in the army's database, but I didn't find it, only my mother's information about joining the army. The information only shows that my mother served in the 30th Army, and there is really no specific information. This made me wonder why there was a record of my mother but not my father's. When I came home this time, I wanted to ask my dad about it.
Driving back home, my mother is no longer at home, and she must be at the vegetable market at this time. Luckily, I still had the keys to the house with me when I left, otherwise I would have had to go to the vegetable market. Open the door and walk in, the home is still spotless, the furniture is still the same furniture, looking at this home, the mood is very excited. Putting down what I was carrying, I opened my bedroom door, and there was a quilt on the bed, which smelled fragrant and smelled of lavender. In the kitchen, it was still very clean and everything was still in its original place. Washing rice, steaming rice in a rice cooker, I went out to pick up my mother.
After 5 minutes, I arrived at the market and went in to find my mother. When I walked to my mother's stall, she was weighing vegetables, and there were a few middle-aged women picking them up.
"Mom......" Seeing this person who was both familiar and strange, I could not speak after shouting only one word.
"Hao'er is back, when did you come back? I'm sorry that I won't do business today, my son is back, I'm really sorry!" Mom raised her head and looked at me in front of her, and said in surprise. I could see the tears in her eyes. Turning, she raised her hand and dabbled the corner of her eye.
"Hao'er, Mom will pack up and let's go back, Mom will make you something to eat. After the woman was gone, my mother said to me.
"Mom, you sit and rest for a while, I'll clean up. As he spoke, he began to clean up.
"Mom, don't move, I'll do it. Seeing that my mother was about to do it, I quickly said.
"My son went out and knew that he felt sorry for his mother. As he spoke, he began to cry.
"Mom, don't be like this, aren't you happy that I'm back?"
"Mom, this is happy, Mom is happy!" Mom quickly wiped away tears.
"Mom, go back, I've steamed the rice, let's buy fish and meat." Holding the bag in his hand, he said to his mother who was sitting next to him.
Driving back home, my mother carried the bag and went upstairs. "Mom, give me the bag. "Reach out and take the bag and go back together.
"Mom, you sit, I'll go and cook a few dishes, I learned it in the army. ”。 Seeing my mother preparing to go to the kitchen, I quickly said.
"What are you cooking for a big man, I'll go." "Mom looked at me.
"Mom, you still don't believe me, my cooking in the army is still very popular, just wait, let you see your son's craftsmanship. I said with a little pride. Seriously, this is really not my boast, I really learned to cook in the army, and when I was okay after training, I went to the cooking class at the base to learn, and I have also read a lot of recipes and practices on the Internet, and many have tried it in the cooking class, and 6 of them are my food tasters. Now when I'm fine, they're still yelling for me to cook for them.
"Mom believes you, then Mom is waiting to eat her son's cooking today. ”
"Mom, just look at it. ”
I went into the kitchen and started to clean up the fish and meat. Half an hour later, I made 7 dishes of fish soup and it was still boiling.
"Mom can serve the food. I shouted to my mom outside the kitchen.
"Mom, I've come back this time and brought you a gift, you wait. After the dishes were served, he said to his mother.
Went into the house and took out a small box, "Mom, open it and take a look." "Hand the box to my mom.
Mom opened the box, and tears flowed out instantly. There were a dozen medals in the box, and she knew what I meant. I once told her that one day I would make her proud of me. "Hao'er, I'm glad you're sorry, my mother is very happy. You're dark, and you're thin. ”
"Mom, the food in the army is very good, how can I lose weight. You don't know how strong I am. I raised my hand and clenched my fist. My mother worries that no matter how well you eat outside and how well you live, your parents always feel that you have lost weight and blackened when you come back, in fact, you are always a child in their eyes.
"Mom, I bought a bottle of red wine when I came back, let's drink less. ”
"What are you doing with that money, kid?"
"Mom, I have a salary in the army, and at most it is a subsidy. "The army now gives us a very high subsidy for our missions, each time it is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, there are millions, and there will be no situation like in the novel, and the special combat team members can't even feed their families.
"Keep your money for your wife, don't spend it indiscriminately. ”
"Mom, the army has a high subsidy for us to go on a mission, and now there are three million in this card. You can take it, I can't use it in the army, I still have one. "I pulled out a bank card.
"So many? My son has a chance. ”
"Mom, you won't sell vegetables anymore in the future, just go shopping if you have nothing to do, don't be tired. ”
"Mom, what can you do if you don't sell vegetables. ”
"I don't do anything every day, just go out to play mahjong, go shopping or something. ”
"You also know that Mom is a person who can't be idle, and if she is idle every day, Mom will get sick. ”
"Okay, you can do it. Don't get tired anyway. Come to mom for dinner and try your son's handiwork. ”
"Okay, okay, mom will try her son's craft. Well, not bad. You can eat it too. As he spoke, he began to keep serving me food.
Looking at my mother's somewhat pale sideburns, I had a sour nose. Quickly lowered her head and began to pick up the rice in her mouth, not wanting her to see me crying. In my previous life, I was an orphan and did not enjoy a day of family affection, but here I felt it, and silently swore in my heart that I would do my best to protect this home, this woman who had white temples for me, and this woman whose hands were full of calluses for me.
