289. Old man

Brother Tian was lying there, his face had some small scabbed wounds, but other than that, it was very clean. Some of the tears in the combat uniform on his body were also sewn with needles and threads.

It was a very fine stitch, and the person who sewed it for him had a good hand of needlework. It could be his wife or mother.

I thought to myself, if I let him wear this dress, he would be satisfied. Comrade, since you all call him Brother Tian, I won't call the leader...... Comrade, my son he, is really not a deserter. ”

Old man Tian, who used to be a soldier, said earnestly beside him, his voice a little hoarse.

"Well, I know...... We all know that. Han Qingyu took a long breath with red eyes, then nodded, folded the note in his hand and put it away.

Thin footsteps appeared behind him.

Brother Tian's mother and wife appeared outside the door, stood down at the door frames on both sides, and looked at Han Qingyu and the three of them in the room with some uneasiness. Both of them had red and swollen eye sockets and pale faces.

It's not time to say hello.

"Bang da bang ......"

The little girl who had closed the flock of sheep forgot to put down the bamboo pole in her hand, so she ran over, ran to the door and stopped, raised her head, turned her little brain, and looked carefully at the silent relatives and the brothers she had just met...... There was a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Mom took her hand and pulled her to herself.

I couldn't bear to say a lot of words in front of my children, Han Qingyu and Wen Jifei each shouted and their sister-in-law was stuck...... They looked at each other. Wu Yi on the side walked over, took out the radio from his backpack and turned it on, then squatted down in front of Xiao Zhifan, and said as gently as he could:

"Have you heard of this?"

Xiao Zhifan glanced at the radio in his hand and shook his head.

"This sounds good, I'll take you outside to listen to it. Wu Yi stood up as he spoke, stretched out a hand, and opened his palm.

There was light in the little girl's eyes, and she was full of expectations, but she was sensible, so she hesitated and turned around, and first asked the adult's opinion with her eyes.

"Go ahead, girl. Grandparents and mom both said.

"Good. Xiao Zhifan's eyes lit up, and he obediently put his palm in Wu Xian's palm.

The two backs, one big and one small, went out of the house in this way, walked together towards the grassy slope on the side, found the stone and sat down on the left and right.

Wu Xian stuck the sick lone gun in the way in the grass beside him.

Xiao Zhifan looked interesting and learned, and got up and stood up with her bamboo pole in the grass beside her.

The breeze blows the strips of cloth on the bamboo poles.

Xiao Zhifan sat down again, tilted his head, and looked at Wu Yi's hand curiously and expectantly.

Wu Yi held the radio in one hand and FM in the other, and the sneering murmur was high and low, and suddenly disappeared, and a child's voice was heard singing:

"Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of little stars,

Hanging in heaven and shining like many little eyes......"

seems to think that this thing is really amazing, Xiao Zhifan's shining eyes are amazed and envious, and he listens attentively. Wu Xian looked at it for a while, thought about it, and began to demonstrate while saying, "Here, open like this, close like this...... Turn it this way...... Here hit the open battery. ”

Han Qingyu, Wen Jifei and the Tian family withdrew their eyes from the grassy slope.

"Brother Tian, when are you going to go up the mountain?" asked Han Qingyu in the words of his hometown.

"Just tomorrow. It's hot ...... at this time," Old man Tian paused, and said, "It just so happens that my own age is about to arrive, and I have a coffin to prepare...... It's okay, don't worry, I'm a strong farmer...... Knowing that he was a person who went to the battlefield, it was already rare to be able to return to his hometown and enter the ground. ”

Because of this sentence, Han Qingyu opened his mouth and choked directly, slowed down, and then nodded and said: "Then let's stay for one night, on behalf of the army and we will send Brother Tian ourselves, do you think it?"

"Cheng, Cheng. The three members of the Tian family all said in unison.

............

For dinner, Wu Xian went to church and gave Xiao Zhifan the radio and spare batteries.

Yang Qingbai also came, and happened to have some money with him, so he stuffed the money to the Tian family, and asked about the situation at home by the way.

The Tian family refused to ask for it.

Old man Tian said: "This is really not necessary, you are still young, and you and your family have to spend more." He was a soldier on the outskirts of the field to earn money, and he had sent it home all these years. ”

"Yes, there is no shortage of them at home. It's just a place in our village, where everyone lives like this, and there is no expense. He also gives me jewelry every year, and I don't have time to ......wear it."

The sister-in-law also helped to refuse, but as she spoke, tears fell again, and the words could not continue.

"That's also our heart, this one has to be taken anyway, Uncle Tian, sister-in-law. Yang Qingbai turned the title back and put down the money.

"Yes, it should be, if you don't accept it, we can't get through it in our hearts. Wen Jifei said a word of help, and then said: "After that, the army will have a pension down, you must not live a hard life, you ......"

Speaking of this, Wen Jifei suddenly stopped, hesitated, and turned his head to look at Han Qingyu.

According to the current situation, it seems that the Tian family should be taken to the Azure Life Base together, but he doesn't know what Brother Tian and his family think about this.

The homeland of the Chinese people is difficult to leave, and most of the Tian family will not be very willing.

Han Qingyu shook his head and whispered, "Brother Tian, he doesn't want to." ”

He remembered the conversation he had that morning outside the tent and on the outskirts of the field. At that time, Brother Tian once talked about it casually, saying that he was unwilling to take his family to live in the blue...... said that because the family is a daughter, he can cut the big tip himself, but he hopes that his daughter will not know the existence of this thing for the rest of her life, so she will study hard, grow up well, and get married to live.

In the current situation, I can only respect Brother Tian's own ideas for the time being, and then wait to see later. Han Qingyu roughly described it to the Tian family, saying that the army has such a place to accept the families of martyrs...... The three members of the Tian family discussed it together, and as expected, refused.

For the time being, this matter is settled.

After a while, Old Man Tian suddenly poured a full cup of home-brewed rice wine for Han Qingyu and the four of them, and then picked up the cup himself.

He looked a little hesitant, but very solemn.

"Well, I have something I want to ask. Old man Tian said.

You ask. Yang Qingbai said for the first time.

"That's right, Tian Bo, if you have anything to do, just tell us, we will do what we can do. Seeing that the old man was a little embarrassed, Wen Jifei hurriedly said.

"Okay, then I asked...... You secret troops, fight terror, do you want veterans?"

Old man Tian's eyes were bloodshot, uneasy but firm, looking at Han Qingyu and the four.

"......" The four people present were stunned for a moment, they thought that Old Man Tian had something to do and wanted them to help, so they were ready to take it as long as they could, no matter how difficult it was...... But I never thought that the old man in front of me, the veteran, would ask such a question.

The old man didn't seem to understand what his son meant by the secret forces fighting terror, and probably just regarded it as a formidable enemy...... Person. Maybe Tian Jiao told him a little, but he didn't say specifics.

So, this old man, veteran...... He wanted to avenge his son with his own hands.

From the look in his eyes, Old Man Tian could see that they were about to refuse, and said in a panic: "Isn't this the time to start a war, the place where the war will start is close to me...... It's like before, you can have a temporary workaround for everything, right? I'll go to the temporary battle, you can ask for it, right? I've really been a soldier, I'm serious, I'm brave, I can go to war...... Really, I still have military merit medals......"

Wen Jifei tried to ease his breath a few times, then raised his head and interrupted: "I'm sorry, Uncle Tian, your current age is too big...... You see, it's a pity, if only a few years earlier, our army would have had one more good soldier. ”

"But I'm in good shape. I also have two brothers on the outskirts of the field, but unfortunately I went out to work a few days ago, and I am having someone bring a letter to them to rush back......"

"I'm sorry, Uncle Tian, the army has a system. No way. Han Qingyu answered, his tone was hard.

When I heard him say this, I knew that he was the head of this group. Old Man Tian's expression collapsed, he hesitated, then lowered his head and drank the wine, raised his head and smiled hard.

............

At night, I went back to the helicopter and set up a tent to sleep overnight, and the next morning, early in the morning, when Han Qingyu and the others went to Tian's house.

Old man Tian stood in the courtyard with a wooden stick in his hand and a wood knife tied to his severed head at the end...... It is demonstrating the technical movements of fighting bayonets at a glance.

Seeing a few of them appear, the old man hurriedly made a swift and powerful reflexive provocation...... The twisted waist stiffened, and Old Man Tian snorted and turned around hard...... After a few more quick steps, he supported himself with one hand and flew directly out of the dirt fence of the yard.

Outside the wall, there was a "heha" sound, and a spear stabbed straight down......

Han Qingyu saw all of them, but he could only pretend that he didn't see them.

......

Brother Tian went up the mountain and settled in the ground, Han Qingyu took off the epaulette and put it in his grave.

When going down the mountain, Xiao Zhifan walked among Han Qingyu and several people, raised his head and said, "Mom said that Dad is leaving, and he will always be a soldier in the future, right?"

Han Qingyu turned his head a few times and said, "Yes...... Be the one all the time. ”

"Is that dad amazing? The last time he came back, they all said he was very good. ”

"It's amazing. ”

"It's amazing, we all have to call him squad leader. ”

"Well, then he left this time, won't he be able to come back to see me for a long time?"

“......”

"Yes, but he will definitely remember to write letters and send things home. Zhifan later received letters, schoolbags, and hairpins...... Just know, that's Dad missing you again. He, I hope you dress nicely, eat well, study well, and grow up well. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Zhifan nodded vigorously.

...... Helicopters climb in circles.

On the grassy slope, the old and young of the Tian family stood together, tilting their heads and waving their hands.
