Chapter 485: Always Ready

Not long after descending the mountain, Chen Haokong received a phone call, which made Chu Tianming immediately adjust his direction and rush straight to Nanhu International Airport.

"Head, this ......"

As soon as the car stopped, there was a shout in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw two figures rushing towards me.

"Head, we're not late, are we?" rushed in front of Chu Tianming, and the two immediately saluted.

"Hehe......"

In this regard, Chu Tianming could only smile bitterly and shook his head, until the moment the phone rang, Chen Haokong told him, and when he learned that there was about to be a heavy action, the latter immediately notified Yuan Dagang and Zeng Xiaohu, and the two received the order and had already flown to Nanhu International Airport.

So, what else can be said, Chu Tianming can only change the route, and then go straight to Nanhu International Airport.

Now, looking at the two people in front of him, Chu Tianming pondered for a moment, and then asked Zeng Xiaohu, "Is your mother's body better?"

"It's much better, and when I see me, I'm even more energetic. Facing Chu Tianming's concern, Zeng Xiaohu immediately smiled movingly.

Immediately afterwards, touching the back of his head, Zeng Xiaohu hurriedly said with embarrassment: "However, my father gave me a hard beating, saying that men should be heavy in their careers and can't run home twice in three days." ”

"Haha......"

Hearing Zeng Xiaohu say this, Chen Haokong and the others immediately burst into laughter, it seems that they can imagine Zeng Xiaohu's wolf appearance at that time.

"What's so funny about laughing at?"

Compared with Chen Haokong and others, Chu Tianming couldn't laugh at all, according to the information he had, Zeng Xiaohu's father seemed to be a veteran, and he was an old scout, so Chu Tianming had reason to believe that the old scout must have seen a little bit of goodness about Zeng Xiaohu's experience over the years.

It is precisely because of this that even though the old scout was overjoyed when he saw Zeng Xiaohu suddenly returning home, he still reprimanded Zeng Xiaohu ruthlessly.

He could only silently bless in his heart with incomparable respect that the older generation of revolutionaries like Zeng Xiaohu and his father could be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than the sky!

With such an idea, Chu Tianming immediately patted Zeng Xiaohu's shoulder: "The next time you call back, remember to help me say hello to your father, just say that a soldier like him is an example for us to learn, a benchmark for us to move forward, the foundation for the eternal prosperity of a great country in China, and the soul of our invincible and invincible army." ”

"Uh......"

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Xiaohu's eyes suddenly turned red, when he was very young, he knew that his father was a soldier, and he had experienced several famous battles in the Huafu Liberation War.

Even, after liberation, because of the needs of the country, his father embarked on the road of the volunteer army, and received many meritorious service awards, and at the same time, inevitably, also left a scar.

In response to the party's call, Zeng Xiaohu's father resolutely devoted himself to production and construction, thus gradually becoming an ordinary farmer from a steely soldier.

I have the impression that my father rarely mentions the past, but when he sees certain clips on TV, he always shows a heartfelt smile, or hides in the corner and looks sad.

And when he encounters some outlaws, the old father, who is becoming more and more rickety, will always stand up without hesitation, even if his head is bleeding because of this, his father just smiles honestly, and never seems to regret his decision.

At the beginning, looking at his father's heroic appearance, Zeng Xiaohu was naturally very proud, but there were many people around him, who would always say that his father was a fool, which made Zeng Xiaohu really a little incomprehensible.

Later, there were many people who said this, and even his mother said so, Zeng Xiaohu slowly changed his opinion, perhaps, his father was really a bit stupid, because those who served in the army with his father either remained in the army and gradually became senior commanders, or they had returned to the county or provincial capital and became the leader of various departments.

These people, without exception, live in small western-style buildings, drive cars, and even their relatives, all of them are fragrant, spicy, can be said to enjoy the glory and wealth, perhaps, this is what the world often says, one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

However, this is not the case with his family, when others live in small western-style houses, his family lives in adobe houses, and when others live in villas, his house is still adobe houses.

Forget about these, when he was most destitute, his family couldn't even pay his dozens of yuan for materials, so Zeng Xiaohu didn't know how many times he was called to the office by the teacher to talk, either, he stood directly at the back of the classroom, or even was kicked out of the classroom directly.

It is precisely because of these that Zeng Xiaohu, who was young and frivolous, began to complain about his father's stupidity and even incompetence like people outside, otherwise, he would not have been ridiculed by those classmates all day long, let alone looked down upon by others all day long.

In this regard, Zeng Xiaohu's father often only smiled faintly, but he was young and frivolous, but he couldn't understand how deep sadness was hidden behind that faint smile.

Until one day, Zeng Xiaohu suddenly understood that his father was not stupid, and the really stupid people were him, as well as those who laughed at his father.

I remember that in the winter of that year, the north wind was not ordinary cold, because it cost less than a few dozen yuan for materials, and he didn't want to be ridiculed by his teachers and classmates again, so he insisted on refusing to go to school no matter how hard his old father persuaded him, or even angrily reprimanded.

In desperation, his father had to walk out of the house with a red face, which made Zeng Xiaohu secretly happy, with his intuition, the old father should have borrowed money.

However, at this moment, a military jeep suddenly came, parked directly at the door of his house, and then, a figure came out of the car, a figure with a little gorgeous hair, under the illumination of the morning sun, the golden bean on the shoulder, it was particularly dazzling.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Zeng Xiaohu immediately rushed out, which surprised him, followed by this military vehicle, and more than a dozen small cars rushed over one after another, and most of the figures who came out of the car were those leaders in their county, and even the officials of the provincial capital, of course, there were also comrades-in-arms who were soldiers with his father, but later rarely interacted.

At that moment, the atmosphere was quite eerie, his father stood motionless in the doorway, but Zeng Xiaohu could tell that his father seemed to be nervous, because he could hear the sound of rapid breathing, and the rattle of teeth rubbing.

In contrast, the officer who was carrying a golden bean on his shoulder seemed to be even more excited, only to see that he had a pair of tiger eyes open, the corners of his mouth were twitching all the time, and tears seemed to be left at any time.

"Old company commander, I can be considered to have found you......"

A mournful cry finally broke the damn silence, and also made the two gray-haired old men immediately hug each other tightly.

After crying and laughing, the two immediately walked into the back room side by side, and when they learned Zeng Xiaohu's identity, the old man immediately walked up to him with a smile, and then asked him some questions.

Ignoring his old father's hints, Zeng Xiaohu replied quite briskly, and admitted that the reason why he refused to go to school was because he couldn't afford to pay dozens of yuan for materials.

Suddenly, the old father, who had always beaten him, suddenly felt like he was going crazy, and he was directly pressed to the ground and beaten violently, so that even his mother, who had come to dissuade him, was beaten several times.

Finally, the old father was pulled away, and when Zeng Xiaohu got up, the old man who was carrying Jin Doudou on his shoulder was already in tears.

Immediately afterwards, he hugged Zeng Xiaohu tightly in his arms, and then looked at Zeng Xiaohu's father, and the old man immediately said sadly: "Old company commander, don't say anything, this child is not wrong, the fault is that I am late." ”

Then, he turned around and rushed out of the door, facing the pot-bellied crowd outside, especially Zeng Xiaohu's father's comrades-in-arms, this person instantly let out a roar, what exactly was said, Zeng Xiaohu couldn't remember clearly, he only remembered that the usually majestic county masters were scolded like grandsons.

Later, things were very simple, Zeng Xiaohu didn't finish high school, he was brought to the army by this person, and then began his military career.

With such a background, Zeng Xiaohu's military career is not very leisurely, but more miserable than ordinary people, others run five kilometers, he has to run ten kilometers, others carry ten kilograms, he has to carry twenty kilograms.

Those comrades-in-arms who didn't know thought that Zeng Xiaohu had offended someone, so he had to be put in 'small shoes', but Zeng Xiaohu himself knew very well that this was all because of his father, because the moment he stepped into the barracks, he only knew about his father's past, and the general who brought him over also bluntly told him that in order to be worthy of the old company commander's entrustment, he would be focused on 'taking care' in the barracks.

It is precisely because of these that Zeng Xiaohu not only did not complain at all, but secretly swore in his heart that he must not disgrace his father, and he must complete every training task assigned by his superiors on time and in accordance with the quantity.

In this way, the originally young big boy gradually matured a lot, his skin that was originally fair gradually became dark as carbon, Zeng Xiaohu, who was originally empty of fat but did not have much strength, has become extremely strong, and finally, he was lucky to enter the Tianlong Commando, so as to meet Chu Tianming and others.

Even so, Zeng Xiaohu still had never heard that someone had such a high opinion of his father, because after hearing Chu Tianming's words, Zeng Xiaohu was so excited that he burst into tears.

"Head, please allow me to replace my father, in place of those veterans......" Looking at Chu Tianming in front of him, Zeng Xiaohu immediately straightened his waist, and then suddenly let out a low roar: "Salute ......"

solemnly returned a military salute, and Chu Tianming immediately patted Zeng Xiaohu's shoulder: "Okay, let's not talk about those things in the past, from today onwards, we will embark on a new journey, are you ready?"

"Always ready to ......"

Hearing Chu Tianming say this, let alone Zeng Xiaohu, even Chen Haokong, Hu Aojun, Cao Wei, and Yuan Dagang and others immediately let out a loud roar
