On a midsummer afternoon, the air was filled with sparks, and the two large willow trees at the entrance of the family area of the military sub-district compound were wilting and hanging down, there was not a trace of wind, and the noisy cicadas were noisy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Xiaoan wore a big straw hat with a wide brim, held a large tea jar and came out of the non-staple food store, and ran towards the family courtyard with a smoke.

The drowsy janitor came to his senses when he saw her, shaking the big pu fan and shouting from afar, "Xiao An, come to play chess with Political Commissar Zhou again?" ”

Zhou Xiaoan's face was hot and red, with beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, but he was very energetic, opened the lid of the teapot with a smile, took out a popsicle from it and stuffed it into the uncle's hand.

"Yes! Uncle Wang! My uncle has been too busy lately, so I'll play chess with him and change my mind. It's too hot, you have a popsicle to cool off! ”

Uncle Wang hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, don't!" Keep it for yourself! ”

But Zhou Xiaoan had already stuffed the popsicle into his hand and ran.

Uncle Wang waved his hand at Zhou Xiaoan with a popsicle, "Go!" Political Commissar Zhou has just come back from the army, and he must be waiting for you at this time! ”

Zhou Xiaoan crisply promised that he had already run away, and Uncle Wang put the broken pu fan on his head and looked at her, "Slip away!" Pick a place with shade and be cool! ”

The military sister-in-law who passed by also looked at Zhou Xiaoan with a smile and greeted Uncle Wang, "Political Commissar Zhou, this little niece is really happy, I smile whenever I see her!" ”

And Zhou Xiaoan, who had already run to Zhou Yuehai's dormitory, was absentmindedly moving the chess pieces under the guise of "playing chess with Uncle to help him relax his spirit", and his eyes kept touching in the room, "Uncle, it's so hot today!" ”

Zhou Yuehai straightened her crooked chess pieces, "Well, it's very hot." You've just eaten two popsicles and can't eat any more. ”

Zhou Xiaoan let out an "oh" and moved another move, and Zhou Yuehai reminded her, "Are you sure you want to go here, I can be a general within three steps." He gave her a demonstration.

Zhou Xiaoan hurriedly repented, "I'm not going to play here!" ”

But she didn't know where to fall next, so she had to put her fingers on the chess pieces and move slowly, observing the uncle's expression while moving, moving a few steps, and finally seeing from his expression that it was right to go here, hurry up.

Zhou Yuehai smiled and continued to play chess with her.

Zhou Xiaoan was still a little absent-minded, and continued to pull the uncle back to the topic she had just had, "Uncle, are you thirsty?" ”

Zhou Yuehai shook his head, "I just ate a popsicle, I'm not thirsty." Then he pointed to the table, "I've got cold boiled water for you, go drink it." ”

Zhou Xiaoan wilted a little, "Oh." ”

Zhou Yuehai urged her, "There is herbal tea in the tea jar, specially brewed for you, go and taste it." ”

Zhou Xiaoan got up and shuffled towards the desk.

She actually wanted to ask about soda. Uncle stored a few boxes of soda for her in the cold storage of the popsicle factory next door, and she could drink a bottle of cold orange soda with ice ballast after eating at noon every day.

This has become a habit, but at noon today, Uncle went down to the grassroots level, didn't eat with her, and she didn't drink soda yet.

Zhou Xiaoan felt that it was a little too childish for him to ask, but he didn't ask and remembered......

Picking up the teapot on the table, as soon as Zhou Xiaoan lifted the liar, a sweet and cold breath came to his face, Zhou Xiaoan looked back at the uncle in surprise, "Uncle! You lie! It's ice soda! ”

Zhou Yuehai laughed loudly, "If it weren't for the ice soda little gluttonous cat, I would have to cry urgently!" ”

Zhou Xiaoan was a little annoyed and embarrassed, but when she saw her uncle laughing so happily, she herself burst out laughing.

After taking a big sip, Zhou Xiaoan didn't have time to catch his breath, and a heart-rending cry suddenly came from the door, "Old Zhou! We've got you! ”

The tea jar in Zhou Xiaoan's hand shook, and half a jar of soda sprinkled on the skirt.

And a woman rushed in from outside the open door, holding two children in her hands, and threw herself directly in front of Zhou Yuehai, and the mother directly threw herself on Zhou Yuehai's legs.

Zhou Yuehai dodged and dodged them, looked at the ladies coldly, and then looked at Kong Yuelan who walked in with them, "Sister-in-law Sun, you brought this here?" ”

The woman was about thirty years old, with a patched torn towel wrapped around her head, black and thin, sitting on the ground with her head bowed, whimpering and crying miserably.

Both children, seven or eight years old, four or five years old, were ragged and skinny, leaning against their mother and tearing their throats apart.

For a while, the quiet afternoon in the family area completely disturbed the girl.

Kong Yuelan looked sincere, but her eyes were amazingly bright, and she was overwhelmed with excitement when she discovered the shocking secret.

"Political Commissar Zhou, didn't I bump into me at the door! This sister-in-law is holding a letter you wrote in her hand, saying that she is here to find the child's father, and as soon as I thought about it, I couldn't let their mothers quarrel at the gate of our military region, so I hurriedly brought it over! ”

There were already people at the door who were attracted by the cry, Kong Yuelan hurriedly rushed to catch up, "Don't look at it!" Don't look at it! What's so nice about this! What should you do, let Political Commissar Zhou handle the housework! ”

As soon as she said this, everyone became even more curious.

A woman came over with two children to cry, what kind of housework is this Political Commissar Zhou?

There are already "enthusiastic" military wives who have gone over to persuade the women on the ground, "Sister, get up quickly!" What's going on? Are you here with your children? Don't worry, when you get to the army, there will be an organization to call the shots for you! Don't be afraid of any grievances, speak out! ”

Because Zhou Yuehai is here, he didn't dare to directly say that if a woman came to find the child's father, if his father dared to deny it, the organization would definitely punish him! But everyone knows what she means.

The woman refused to get up, and kept pushing the two children to find Zhou Yuehai, "Dead baby!" Go find your dad! That's your dad! Why don't you call people when you meet! ”

Zhou Xiaoan's remaining half of the tea jar soda was also sprinkled on the skirt, Dad?! Uncle is married? Have two children?!

Zhou Yuehai glanced coldly at these people in the room, except for the two children who were frightened by their mother and kept crying, everyone was frozen by his skate-like gaze, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Kong Yuelan, who is this woman you brought here? You give me an explanation first. ”

Kong Yuelan was anxious, "Political Commissar Zhou, you can't say that!" People have a handwritten letter from you, saying that you are the child's father, and you still ask me who she is? Who is she can you not know? ”

Now is not the time to break this, Zhou Yuehai looked at the woman on the ground coldly, "Who are you?" Stand up and talk well! ”

The woman was frightened by Zhou Yuehai's cold and stern momentum several times, and quickly stood up, "Old Zhou, I'm Zhang Kucai!" Why don't you know me?! We got married thirteen years ago, have you forgotten? (To be continued.) )
