After Gu Xiaodong left, Liu Qing hugged the child, only to feel chills, if Gu Xiaodong cut off all his roads, then he could only make a desperate bet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the blink of an eye, Sunday has arrived, Gu Xiaobei has been very irritable in the past two days, and she can't help but wonder if Lu Zhanguo is in danger and whether she will be injured late at night, and she also found out for the first time that she is really not suitable to be a military wife.
I couldn't sleep again on Saturday night, and when I woke up on Sunday morning, it was very dark, and it was cloudy and raining. When I went out to look at the clock in the living room, it was half past nine.
Gu Xiaobei patted his head, it was broken, and he made an appointment with Qin Li to go shopping today. I quickly washed my face, changed my clothes, took an umbrella and rushed downstairs.
Regardless of whether Qin Li has arrived or not, you must go and see, there is no phone and mobile phone, it is really inconvenient.
Before I arrived at the gate of the community, I saw Qin Li holding a big black umbrella from a distance, standing there slenderly.
When Qin Li saw Gu Xiaobei, she waved excitedly, "I should really ask what number your house is." I've been waiting here for a long time. ”
Gu Xiaobei was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I got up late, it's raining, I thought you wouldn't come." ”
Qin Li raised her stubborn little face and said proudly: "I am only one merit, and my words count." ”
Gu Xiaobei sneered, "What kind of advantage is this?" ”
Qin Li said very seriously: "This kind of advantage has a nice name called persistence, go to breakfast." ”
"Ah, it's raining, I'm really going shopping, why don't we buy some food and go back to my house, we can talk or something."
Qin Li nodded: "Okay, I didn't have anything to buy originally, I mainly wanted to chat with you." ”
The two of them went to the nearby vegetable market with umbrellas to buy some vegetables, tofu, and mutton. Gu Xiaobei thinks that the most suitable thing on a rainy day is to find a friend to have a hot pot and drink some wine.
The two came home again, Gu Xiaobei went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes, and Qin Li walked around and said, "Your little house is quite warm." ”
There was no hot pot material, so Gu Xiaobei cut the mutton into pieces, stewed it with some seasonings, and used mutton soup to shake the vegetables for a while. Mix the minced green onion, minced ginger, minced garlic and blanched chili noodles with a dipping sauce. The dishes were washed, put on a plate, and some vermicelli was scalded. When ready, just wait for the meat to stew almost before you can eat shabu-shabu.
Because there is no electric stove or anything like that, anyway, just two people, move the folding table into the kitchen, and put the stove on the table for a while.
Qin Li lay at the door of the kitchen, sniffed and said, "It's so fragrant, what are we eating?" ”
"Hot pot, this is the most suitable to eat on a rainy day." Gu Xiaobei said.
Qin Li's eyes lit up and said, "I've been to the capital to eat this." ”
After simmering for about an hour, Gu Xiaobei put the stove away, put the pot on it, set the dishes out, and called Qin Li, who was reading the villain's book, to come over and eat.
Qin Li ate a piece of meat and couldn't help but raise her thumb and praise: "Although it's not the kind of shabu-shabu slices I eat, this one is also delicious and enjoyable." ”
The two of them didn't eat in the morning, and after a while, two catties of mutton, all kinds of dishes, and a plate of vermicelli were eaten.
After Qin Li finished eating, she decided to come to Gu Xiaobei's house to mix rice on a rainy day.
While laughing, Qin Li suddenly looked at Gu Xiaobei seriously and said, "Sister Xiaobei, do you know who I went to the capital to eat hot pot?" ”
Gu Xiaobei shook his head, "It's Jincheng." Qin Li continued in a low voice: "That year, I was fourteen years old, and Jincheng was sixteen years old. ”
Gu Xiaobei didn't say anything, she knew that Qin Li was going to tell a long story.
"Jin Cheng was actually not like this before, he was very smart and studied very well, until Jin Cheng's brother had an accident."
Qin Li's eyes were obviously full of tears, and Gu Xiaobei listened quietly, "Jincheng's brother is called Jin Jiadong, and Jincheng used to be called Jin Jiacheng. Brother Jin is more than ten years older than us, especially excellent, and is a hero in the eyes of the children in our entire compound, Jin Cheng has admired Brother Jin since he was a child, and his ideal is to become a person like Brother Jin. ”
Qin Li lowered her head and continued: "Later, when the counterattack broke out, Brother Jin was the first to sign up for the front line, and after Jin Cheng found out, he was going to the capital to find Brother Jin, because Brother Jin's troops were there, I stole the family's money and followed him on the train, he found me on the train, so he had to take me with him to find Brother Jin." ”
"When we went, the team had already gone to the front line, and Jincheng was clamoring to join the army and go to the front line immediately. The head of the unit had no choice but to call home and take us home. Jin Cheng refused and had no choice, he begged the leaders of the troops, if anything happened to Brother Jin, please send him to the battlefield, and he would complete Brother Jin's mission. At that time, the head of the army also praised the high consciousness of the bonus city. Qin Li said this, and smiled slightly, with tears in her eyes, this smile was a little sad.
"As soon as the family arrived in the capital, before we were picked up and taken home, bad news came from the front line, Brother Jin, as the captain of the special combat team, led a team of ten people to lure the enemy deeper, but was besieged by hundreds of enemy people, due to the enemy's suicidal counterattack, the entire team of eleven people, no one survived. And by the time our troops found them, they couldn't even put together the corpses. ”
Qin Li's voice seemed to be a little ethereal, but Gu Xiaobei felt that this scene was happening right in front of him, so close that he watched them fall down one by one covered in blood.
This history has only been read in books, and it didn't seem to have much feeling at the time, but listening to Qin Li tell it today, my heart was shocked like never before. I couldn't help but redden.
When Jin Cheng learned the news, he was very calm, not at all like a sixteen-year-old, and asked the army leaders to send him to the front. The troops definitely can't promise, an untrained child, isn't this nonsense? Jin Cheng said that it was okay not to go to the front line, so he begged him to enlist in the army, and stayed in the unit where Brother Jin was before his death. Aunt Jin didn't agree, one son was gone, and there was only this one left, and she refused to let Jincheng join the army even if she died. even knelt down for Jin Cheng in front of the head of the army, saying that if Jin Cheng became a soldier, she would immediately die in front of Brother Jin's spirit. ”
Jin Cheng cried bitterly, kneeling and assuring Aunt Jin that he would not be a soldier in the future. Because Brother Jin's suicide note has an explanation, let Jincheng take care of the second elder and do his filial piety for himself. After that night, Kaneshiro sneaked away, and no one knew where he went, except for the occasional letter to his family, but never said what he did. It wasn't until he came back in embarrassment three years ago that his personality became what it is today. The name was also changed to Kaneshiro. ”
Qin Li let out a long breath after speaking, Gu Xiaobei's mouth opened a few times, and he didn't know how to comfort her. Qin Li looked at Gu Xiaobei and said, "Sister Xiaobei, you don't have to comfort me, I just feel sorry for Jincheng, and he is bitter." ”
Gu Xiaobei's heart was sour, and he felt that a hand was pinching his heart, and it hurt.
