drove out of the provincial capital and onto the highway. At the highway toll booth, I watched the car in front of me pass, but the railing never fell. Under the surprised gaze of the rather gorgeous young female toll collector, Xu Ziling realized that his car was a military vehicle and did not need to charge high-speed tolls.

Xu Ziling, who understood, drove into the highway with some embarrassment under the gaze of the toll collector. Yes, I enjoyed the privilege again.

Soon got off the highway and entered the county seat and came to his own community. As soon as I entered the door of the community, I heard the sound of a horn behind me. Looking through the rearview mirror, it was a brand-new Audi SUV, and the mirror was a little blurry and I couldn't see who was driving. Xu Ziling entered the community and drove the car to the side, slowing down, and the car behind accelerated a little, side by side with Xu Ziling.

"Dad, when did you buy a new car?" It turned out to be Xu Haoran.

Xu Haoran over there didn't answer Xu Ziling's words, but just pointed to the parking lot in front of him and signaled to stop and talk again.

The two of them parked the car, Xu Ziling got out of the car and looked at the new black Q5, "When did you buy the car, the license plate hasn't been hung up yet, and I didn't hear you say to buy a new car when I called." ”

"It's been a few days since I bought it, so don't talk about me yet. You tell me about you first, if I just came in, if it wasn't for the people at the security booth who said it was your car, I wouldn't dare to say hello, why did it change to a military plate? Pointing to Xu Ziling's military uniform, "And the matter of your clothes." ”

"I can't say this clearly, I'll talk about it when I go upstairs, even if I make it clear to you, I have to tell my wife again, how tired you say I'm later." It doesn't matter what Xu Haoran's reaction is. Xu Ziling took out the things in the back seat and opened the tail box again, "Dad, help me move something first." ”

Xu Haoran was a little helpless, and walked over and saw that the tail box was almost a box of things, "Where did you go to rob or what's the matter?" ”

Xu Ziling explained while moving things outside: "This is given by Yang Kaiming and his old man, as well as Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng to you and your mother, I don't know what Lu Dao is, let's take it first." ”

Zhang Lan, who heard the doorbell open the door, looked at the two fathers and sons who were carrying boxes in their hands and a few bags on their arms, and were a little surprised. "I said, you two guys, it's rare to see you go home once, and move as soon as you get home?"

"Mom, don't be poor in your old man, let us go in first, you can't let me and Dad just stand here and talk to you." Xu Ziling, whose head was sticking out of the box in his arms, said.

The two of them put all the things in the living room, Zhang Lan was a little impatient, "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on with your big box and small box, and what's going on with this dress on your body?"

Xu Haoran took two bottles of water from the refrigerator, threw one bottle to Xu Ziling, opened it and took a sip by himself, "This has nothing to do with me, it was all brought back by your precious son, and I was also trying to know about it." ”

Xu Ziling drank half a bottle of water in one go, wiped his mouth, and opened the boxes one by one, "This box is wine, take a look, it's for Moutai." This box is cigarettes, well, special cigarettes. There are also supplements such as cordyceps sinensis, bird's nest, etc. There is also a set of cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol, half for grandpa, generally for dad, supplements or something are all grandparents', cosmetics are for mom. ”

Zhang Lan looked at the cosmetics stuffed in her hands, and then looked at Xu Ziling, who was muttering, confused, "Tell me, you bought it." He asked Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling remembered that he hadn't told Zhang Lan about the origin of these things, so he explained. After explaining to Zhang Lan, I remembered what Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng bought, found two bags in a pile of things, opened them, and there was a pair of men's and women's watches inside, Xu Ziling looked at it, it was the emperor's camel's, it turned out that the diving watch of the emperor camel was quite famous, but he didn't know that the business watch of the emperor was also quite delicate and atmospheric. handed the two watches to Xu Haoran and Zhang Lan respectively, "This is given to you by Li Cheng and Yang Kaiming, they don't have time to come, ask me to say hello to the two of you for them." ”

Picked up another relatively large bag, the bag bulged out I don't know what the road is, opened it and looked, it turned out to be two sets of clothes, one for men and one for women, both Givenchy. handed the clothes to Zhang Lan, "These two sets of clothes were also given by the two of them." ”

Zhang Lan hesitated a little, "These things are not cheap, are they, do you say it is appropriate to keep them?" ”

Xu Haoran was straightforward, "We are not officials, there is nothing inappropriate to take it, children always have children's friendship, do you say that Yang Kaiming's family background will care about such a thing?" And then there is the friendship between me and Lao Li for so many years, and there will be nothing wrong with his son sending me something, just treat them well next time. ”

Zhang Lan was relieved. Xu Ziling didn't care about them, moved all the things into the study one by one, and walked out of the door and said to his mother Zhang Lan: "It's dark, eat first, and talk about other things later." ”

At this time, Zhang Lan remembered the meal she was preparing in the kitchen. gave Xu Haoran the things in his hand and hurriedly entered the kitchen.

There are three people in a family, and there is no need to prepare any dishes, Zhang Lan quickly made three dishes and one soup, and the husband and wife were anxious to ask Xu Ziling what happened during this time, and Xu Ziling had to hastily pick up a bowl of rice under the urging of his parents and end the dinner time.

I took a sip of tea and smoothed out the meal that I hadn't fully swallowed. Looking at the eyes of his mother and father, who were sitting on both sides of him, waiting for him to explain, Xu Ziling didn't dare to buy anything, and told them in detail about the past month or so, of course, he would not talk about changing his gun in the special operations division, but only said that he visited and studied in the special operations division every day. Later, he was recruited by the army because of his physical fitness.

took out the admission notice from the bag that had not had time to put upstairs and put it on the coffee table, Zhang Lan, as a teacher, of course, knew the gold content of 745 points in the college entrance examination, and picked up the admission notice from the coffee table, and her hands trembled slightly because of excitement. Looking at the two people who were a little excited, Xu Ziling didn't want to disturb him, picked up his backpack, and went upstairs gently.

When I entered my room, the room was still neat and tidy, without a trace of dust, and I thought that these were all the credit of my mother. I took out the clothes in the bag that had not seen the sun for a long time, hung them up, and put the bag away. Came to the balcony, opened the curtains, sat on a chair and watched the night of the city, thinking about something.

In the confusion, he knocked lightly on the door twice, Xu Ziling looked back, and it turned out to be his father Xu Haoran who came in. Xu Haoran pulled a chair from the room, picked up the ashtray from the table, came to the balcony, and sat next to Xu Ziling. Xu Ziling took the ashtray from Xu Haoran's hand, "Dad, something?" ”

Xu Haoran lit a cigarette and threw one to Xu Ziling, "It's nothing, just talk to you." ”

Xu Ziling put the ashtray on the balcony railing and lit the cigarette in his hand. The two of them quietly looked at the night sky, and Xu Haoran said, "During this time, you are playing with guns?" ”

Xu Ziling knew from Yang Kaiming's mouth about his father Xu Haoran's past glory, so he never thought that he could hide it from Xu Haoran, and of course he didn't think about hiding it from him. smiled and said, "Dad, you found out as soon as I entered the door, and you glanced at my hand several times." ”

Xu Haoran listened to Xu Ziling's words, and also smiled easily, "It turns out that you also found out, it seems that you are sitting here waiting for me to ask you?" Hehe...... Don't tell your mom about these things, don't let her worry. You've loved to play this since you were a kid, and I was sure that you kid would follow my old path, and now I can't tell you what I expected. ”

"I can't compare with you, I'm afraid I don't have the same enthusiasm as you did when you were young."

Xu Haoran was a little surprised, "It seems that you found out about my past things from somewhere, in fact, those are all things in the past, so I didn't think to tell you, and I didn't say anything about your mother." ”

"These are all what Yang Kaiming told me, if he doesn't tell me, I really don't know that you are so enthusiastic when you are young." After a pause, he said: "His son Yang Haisheng, I know you and my grandfather, probably told Yang Kaiming about this during the chat, so it passed from Yang Kaiming's mouth to my ears." ”

Next, Xu Ziling told Xu Haoran what he had done in the provincial capital this month, and finally took out the military ID card from his pocket and gave it to Xu Haoran. Xu Haoran took the military ID, opened it and looked at it, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm not as good as you, and I was only a second lieutenant when I retired from the army." You put it away, and show it to your grandfather when the time comes, so that his old man will be happy and happy. ”

"I just discussed it with your mother, your mother, it means that in order to celebrate your admission to college, invite some people to have a meal tomorrow, no matter what school other people are admitted to, they will invite guests to dinner, not to mention that you are still the national champion, so your mother also said that she will prepare a few tables, and you won't run around tomorrow, it is estimated that your mother will be there to inform everyone now."

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Well, Zhilu said, this son has been missing for more than a month, and now he has to satisfy his mother's little vanity." ”

Listening to Xu Ziling's words, Xu Haoran was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "You can't talk about your mother like that, she is happy." ”

"Well, it's happy, hehe......"

The two of them chatted about some gossip next, and only dispersed when Zhang Lan's shout sounded downstairs, and looked at the time, it was eleven o'clock. Xu Ziling took a bath and chatted with the lion for a while before going to bed.
