Arnold: "Alice, say hello to everyone~"

Black Cat: "Meow~"

Everyone: "......"

Everyone stared at the black cat for a few minutes, then turned their heads and looked at Yan Kou.

Xiao Yi: "Old Yan, do you still want to be Arnold's sister's brother?" ”

Yan Kou: "Get out!" ”

……

The evening sun had not yet set, and a layer of golden light was scattered on the ground.

In the small courtyard, Arno and Doremi were playing with their sister Alice, and Sune stood by with a smile.

Shang Si didn't expect that Su Ne, who is always silent on weekdays and rarely communicates with people, actually participated in this time.

That's right, Shang Thought. If you don't count the time frozen in ice, Sune is only twenty-one years old, about the same age as Arno and Doremi. At such an age, you have to be as energetic as Arnold and Doremi.

Shang Si selectively forgets the fact that he and Sune are graduates of the same class.

The three people in the courtyard were having fun, and a few laughs rang out from time to time. Shang Si, Xiao Yi, Yan Kou, Bowen, and Bird were left in the room.

Arnold's living room is not big, but it is very warmly furnished. A blue cornflower is inserted in a vase on the table, and a picture frame is placed next to it.

Shang Si, who was sitting on the sofa, picked up the photo frame.

In the frame is an old photograph of an old woman sitting in a chair with a black cat on her lap and a child of seven or eight years old standing beside her.

The child had big eyes, clear and bright, and when he smiled, he looked lively and cheerful.

This must have been when Arnold was little.

Shang Si took a look at it and came to a conclusion.

There is definitely a difference between the appearance when you grow up and when you were a child, but that bright smile hasn't changed at all.

The one sitting in the chair should be Arnold's grandmother. The old woman was dressed plainly, and even though her hard work had left a mark on her, her smile was still kind and kind.

The black cat on the old woman's lap should be Arnold's "sister" Alice. However, Alice in the photo is still a little milk cat, and now she has grown into a charming lady who plays with Arnold and them in the courtyard.

Shang Si put the picture frame back in its place, and in the vase next to the frame, the car cornflower quietly opened, and a ray of sunlight spilled through the window on the table, coating the blooming car cornflower and the photo frame next to it with a layer of soft light.

Shang Si, who put down the photo frame, had nothing to do, he was used to being busy, and he would feel uncomfortable when he was occasionally idle. However, since it was a vacation, it was impossible for him to take out his bare brain to see Wen Jiàn again, so Shang Si had to look around the room to see what the others were doing.

Their medic, Bowen, who had absolute power in the infirmary, was holding a cup of coffee and watching the three people in the courtyard play through the window. Yan Kou, the old fritter in the team, occupied a foot in the living room, and was pulling Bird to boast about his great achievements back then.

And next to him is Xiao Yi, who is sitting on the same sofa as him.

They hadn't talked much in a long time, and Shang Si hadn't known how to talk to him since that escape from the hive.

It's not because he was reprimanded by Xiao Yi that Shang Si couldn't get down, and it wasn't that he had any opinions about Xiao Yi's words at that time. Shang Si's reason told him that what Xiao Yi said was right, and as a commander, what he had to do was definitely not to charge at the front line. As the brain of the team, his responsibility is to observe the enemy situation, analyze intelligence, formulate combat plans, dispatch personnel and materials, and give full play to the team's maximum combat effectiveness; Instead of holding a weapon, go and fight to the death with the Zerg face to face.

But he still couldn't get his team to complete the high-risk tasks. Because it is very likely that after his team leaves, they will never come back.

That's why he piloted the Flame instead of Bird, and he didn't want to cause casualties in his team. That would make him feel like he had the blood of his comrades on his hands.

Obviously, he is not a qualified commander with such thoughts. He hasn't talked to Xiao Yi all the time, in fact, he is also running away.

A voice from outside interrupted Shang Si's train of thought.

"Arnold! Is Grandma's little Arnold back? ”

"Grandma! It's me! I am back! ”

Shang Si looked out the window, and Arnold and an old woman hugged each other tightly.

Shang Si stood up and walked out the door with several people in the room.

Mona visited her wheat field every day, and today was no exception, but before she was on her rounds, a woman from the same village found her and told her that her grandson had returned.

She couldn't believe her ears when she first heard it, Arnold hadn't been back for two years, and Mona knew that it wasn't that her beloved grandson didn't want to come back, but that he couldn't come back because of his work. Although she can keep in touch with her grandson regularly, she still worries about how well the child is doing outside.

Today, her little Arnold is finally back.

"Come, let grandma see, is Grandma-Granny-little Arnold thin?" After the hug, Granny Mona scrutinized her grandson's face.

"No, no, I eat well and sleep well, and I'm still growing tall and strong!" Arnold rolled up her sleeves and made her grandmother laugh in a special posture with her arms arched.

After laughing, Granny Mona suddenly straightened her face and said with some reproach, "Why did you inform grandma before you came back?" What if grandma goes out? ”

It is not easy for her grandson to take a vacation, and it certainly won't be long, in case she and him happen to stagger the time, the next time we see each other is not known.

Arnold coquettishly took the old woman's arm: "Didn't I want to surprise grandma?" ”

"You're naughty." Granny Mona reached out and tapped Arnold's nose.

Arnold stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

At this time, Shang Si and the others had already come to the courtyard.

It was only then that Granny Mona noticed the crowd.

"Arnold, are these your friends?"

Arnold nodded: "Yes, yes, this time everyone is on vacation together, so I will invite them to come to our house to play!" ”

Everyone introduced themselves to Mother-in-law Mona one by one, and everyone had agreed before that since it was a vacation, they would no longer have to be divided into superiors and subordinates like in the army, and everyone would get along as friends. So when I introduced myself to Granny Mona, I just said my name.

Granny Mona looked at them with a very loving gaze: "My family Arnold usually bothers you, right?" ”

"Whereever, Arnold is very good."

"Arnold's repair skills are particularly high, and he is very serious about his work."

"Arnold is smart and capable."

……

Everyone praised Arnold all over again, and although Granny Mona knew that everyone's words must be exaggerated, she was still very happy in her heart.

"My grandson, I know, you must have helped him a lot." "You haven't eaten dinner yet, so go into the house and I'll cook for you." ”

With that, Granny Mona walked like she was in the kitchen. Eight grown men eat a lot of food, and cooking for so many people must be a big project. Of course, the people of the eighth detachment were embarrassed to do nothing, so they naturally followed Granny Mona into the kitchen.

The kitchen was not big, and eight big men were crammed into it, and it was impossible to turn around. And they said they wanted to help, but in fact, how could these people who didn't even know what the kitchen looked like on weekdays could do kitchen work.

In the end, not to mention a rough man like Yan Kou who didn't know where to put his hands when he entered the kitchen, even Bowen, who had the most gentle movements, was neatly blasted out by Granny Mona.

The group returned to the house in a gloomy manner, and Alice, the black cat, was lying on the windowsill, looked up at the clumsy people with disdain, and yawned.

……

As night falls, the lights of the small village come on one after another.

In the past, Granny Mona's home was as quiet at night as this village, but today her home is bustling.

Originally, everyone in the eighth detachment knew at the beginning that they should be more elegant when they were guests at other people's homes, but after eating the dishes made by Granny Mona, they were all left behind.

One year, except for the occasional time when they can eat human food when they go to the supply point to replenish (it is not delicious to die), the rest of the time they can only choose set A or set B on the ordering machine on the Raven. The kind of cookie-cutter dishes made by the machine qì, they are almost about to vomit, and after a long time, they really have to doubt that their tongues are going to be paralyzed.

After taking the first bite of the dish, Shang Si glanced around at the table, and everyone stopped the dishes.

Shang Si got up, walked to the kitchen to find a plate under Granny Mona's puzzled gaze, and then set some of each dish in front of Granny Mona.

"What's going on? Is my food not to the liking of young people? Granny Mona guessed.

"No, they're delicious." Shang Si's paralyzed face couldn't make an expression, but he did praise it sincerely.

Then why don't you eat it? Granny Mona looked at the crowd holding the utensils and not moving.

Shang Si solemnly looked at Granny Mona, and said three words in Granny Mona's puzzled eyes:

"It's rude."

Then, the table war, officially began.

Almost at the moment when Shang Si's words fell, the tableware on the table flew together, picking vegetables, grabbing meat, and knives and forks collided together to start a fight, and at the same time sandwiched a chicken leg that did not give in to each other...... Jingle bells and bustle very much. Lian Shangsi joined in with his cold face waving the cutlery.

It was Arnold and Doremi who collided with the knives and forks, and the two of them were still teasing their sister Alice together in the yard in the afternoon, and now they were fighting on a plate of vegetables.

At the same time, it was Yan Kou and Bird who caught a chicken leg. For the sake of the belonging of this chicken leg, Yan Kou moved out of his predecessor and asked Bird to respect the elder, but Bird did not give in and asked Yan Kou to love the young.

Then Bowen leisurely stretched out his hand and took away the other chicken leg on the plate between the two who did not give in to each other.

Yan Kou......

Bird......

They were even more intense, for the sake of the remainder, the only one, a chicken leg, and did not give in to each other.

Except for these two pairs, the rest of the table is smart and does not twist in direct confrontation with the time-waster.

Xiao Yi grabbed vegetables quickly and accurately, and he was worthy of being the first mecha division in the army that year, and his hand speed was guaranteed. And Shang Si has a clear goal and a well-planned plan, no matter how fierce the struggle at the table is, he can always find space to grab food. There is also Su Ne, who robbed vegetables and didn't have a sense of zài, I didn't see how he stretched out his chopsticks, but there were not a lot of dishes in his bowl at all......

When a scuffle ends, everyone eats with round stomachs, and then consciously begins to clean up the mess.

Granny Mona looked at the noisy people, and there was a smile on her kind face.
