Twelve years old
After several days of continuous rain, the people of H City finally ushered in a sunny day.
The children who had been suffocating in the alley for several days ran from the end of the alley to the end of the alley as if they were crazy, and then turned back, as if this was the only way to vent their boredom.
In the yard, Cheng Xiangqin was smiling and looking up at the sky, the blue sky made people feel better, and next to her, a little boy who was just over two years old was also curious to look up like his grandmother.
His neck was sore, but he didn't see any fun, and the little boy didn't follow it, "Grandma, grandma, what are you looking at?"
Cheng Xiangqin turned her head and said with a smile: "Grandma is watching the sky, this day is good, it can be sunny for a few days! Later, grandma will take out the little quilt we miss and dry it, and the sun will be warm, and you can smell the sun when you sleep at night!"
"The smell of the sun?" the little boy's eyes widened in surprise, could the sun still smell?
"You'll know at night!" Grandma smiled mysteriously.
The grandparents and grandchildren entered the room to hug the quilt, and the little boy followed step by step, "Grandma, be careful, if you can't hold it, put it first, and give it to you when I grow up!"
"No!" Grandma said with a smile, "Grandma is hugging, but I miss you to eat a little more so that you can grow taller!"
I didn't hear the little grandson's answer, but I heard his slightly excited voice shouting, "Daddy, Daddy!"
Cheng Xiangqin removed the quilt in front of her and saw a man in military uniform standing at the door and a child running happily.
"Miss!" the man picked up the little boy, kissed him heavily on the cheek, and asked, "Do you miss Daddy?"
"Yes!" "Miss!" said in a crisp voice, "Dad hasn't come to see me for a month!"
The man was stunned, and a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Dad is out on a mission! Mom, you put it down, I'll come!"
"No!" Cheng Xiangqin said lightly, compared to two years ago, there was less hostility in her voice!
The man didn't take it seriously, put down the thoughts he was holding, and took over the heavy quilt in Cheng Xiangqin's hand.
In a short time, the clothesline in the yard was covered with quilts.
Cheng Xiangqin left a sentence of 'I'll go to the kitchen and have a look, you guys talk first!' left the yard to the father and son!
"Dad!" Sinian nestled into his father's arms again, "What mission have you been on, are you going to be a hero?"
The man was visibly stunned, "Who told you?"
"Grandma and grandpa, I miss Dad, and Grandma said that Dad is going to be a hero and do big things!" asked Sinian with a wink.
"Well, grandma is right! Guess, what is this?" the man took out a cardboard box from his luggage and handed it over.
"Gifts!" shouted with joy, Dad brought him a lot of fun every time he came, and the little uncle said that it was not from their H City, but where Dad went.
Sinian's hand was too small, and the carton was too big, and he didn't open it after fiddling with it for a while, Sinian was sweating in a hurry, and looked at his father for help, the man shook his head, "Dad believes in you, take your time, you can open it." ”
I was shocked by my father's encouraging eyes, puffed out my small mouth and exerted my hands, and after a minute, I finally got the things off and opened the carton, which turned out to be a model truck that looked like the real thing!
Sinian happily cupped his father's face, and kissed it, "Thank you, Dad!"
The father and son played with the truck model for a while, the sky gradually darkened, the man got up and picked up the luggage, the tears of longing came out at once, grabbing the man's trouser leg, "Dad, don't go, why don't you live with us, I want you to live with us!"
Shen Cong and Shen Dahai, who heard the crying of children in the yard outside the door, changed their faces, threw down the goods in their hands and ran to the yard, "Miss, miss, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
When he came in and saw the man, the anger in his eyes was like seeing the fire of the oil star, and he burned to the fullest, picked up the breathless thoughts of crying and handed it to Shen Dahai, turned around and punched it with anger, but was easily avoided by the man.
"Bullying thoughts, are you still human? Do you still dare to hide?" Shen Cong worked very hard, but the two of them were not the same number at all, plus his leg was disabled, he always reacted half a beat slowly, he was tired and panting, but the man was calm.
The thoughts next to him were attracted and forgot to cry, clapping their hands to cheer for their father and uncle.
The man's patience quickly ran out, and he didn't see how he made a move, but he saw that the little uncle almost fell, and shouted in shock: "Uncle be careful!"
Then he asked in hindsight: "Master, why are my uncle and father fighting?"
"They are fighting, not fighting!" Shen Dahai said, even if he didn't like men anymore, the family had never said a bad word about him in front of his thoughts,
"Oh, that's right!" Nian nodded as if he didn't understand.
Shen Dahai finally remembered to ask him, "Why did you cry just now, did your father bully you?"
As soon as he said this, the tears of longing flew out again, nodding like pounding garlic, looking a little pitiful, Shen Dahai was so angry in his heart that he even bullied his own son!
"Tell Grandpa. Grandpa will teach you a lesson!" Shen Dahai coaxed his grandson.
"Dad is obviously a family, why don't you live with us, I don't want Dad to go, but he has to go! Grandpa, don't let Dad go, why don't we live together as a family?"
Hearing his words, Shen Dahai didn't know how to answer and was stunned, and the two people next to him who were 'sparring' stopped their hands and looked at Sinian blankly.
It was still the man's brain that turned fast, and he came over and hugged Sinian and explained: "Dad is a soldier and has to live in the camp for training, so we can't live together, but when Dad comes back to the city to see you when he is resting, you have to listen to Grandma and Grandpa obediently!"
Miss nodded her little head, and looked at her father reluctantly, "Okay, I listen to my father, I will definitely be obedient, and my father will come to see me often!"
"Okay, it's a matter at a glance! If you behave well, next time you come, Dad will teach you military boxing and sing military songs!" the man promised with a smile.
"A word is a deal!" the little hands clapped the big hands.
After the man left, after eating, Shen Cong proposed to take Sinian to the square to play.
"No, I want to learn to read, I want to memorize poems, I didn't memorize yesterday's "Spring Dawn", I didn't memorize it to my father, next time I must memorize two more poems!" Sinian straightened his waist and said seriously, the other three people who looked at it couldn't help laughing, but no one laughed, grandma and grandpa took out the textbook, and the uncle moved a small stool to teach word by word.
At ten o'clock, the little man finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep on the bed by his uncle.
Shen Dahai called his wife and Shen Cong, who were also about to go to sleep, "I'll tell you something!"
"Shen Cong, the family is not as good as it was a few years ago, we bought a new yard in the city, the family has a deposit, and the thoughts are slowly growing up, you should think about it for yourself!" Shen Dahai sighed, the most indebted thing to this family is this son.
Cheng Xiangqin looked at it inexplicably, and Shen Dahai explained: "I heard that the hospital in the capital can treat his leg, I asked him to go, but he didn't listen, you persuade him, you can't be lame for the rest of his life!"
Cheng Xiangqin nodded, "You are the only uncle who misses us, we miss and are smart, we will definitely be able to endure it in the future, there is a lame uncle, hey, I can't take it well!"
"Mom-" Shen Cong's face flushed, "Miss me won't look down on me!"
"Hmph, we miss really not that kind of person, but I can't bear to talk behind others' backs, hey, old woman, I feel distressed when I think of my good grandson being talked about behind his back!"
Shen Cong has a black line.
But if you think about it, it's really possible, his eyes gradually lowered, and he said half-loudly, "I promise you, but I want to save some more money for the family!"
"Okay, no problem!" Cheng Xiangqin and Shen Dahai glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

And in the evening!
