Liu Yizhang's passionate speech cleansed the souls of the villagers, the villagers seemed to be brought into the battlefield filled with gunpowder by Liu Yizhang, scrambling to pack up the bones of the martyrs, and returning to their hometown with the souls of the martyrs, they were not depressed, let alone succumbed, with a bitter hatred for the US imperialists, and an infinite awe for the sons and daughters of the heroes, my son will not die, China will win!

Liu Yizhang never mentioned any of his military exploits on the Korean battlefield, he thought that his military exploits were so insignificant compared to the martyrs who sacrificed, and he knew that if there was no hot land in his hometown, and without the century-old inheritance of the Liu family compound, he would be a source of water and a tree without roots, and he loved this land deeply, even if it was a thousand times and ten thousand times for her blood and sweat and even sacrificed his life!

The crowd slowly dispersed.

Under the ancient willows, Liu Yizhang and Wang Hui looked at each other, with tears in their eyes.

The moon is bright and the stars are thin, and the bright moonlight is like a white wedding dress gently covering the two of them, and it seems that an invisible bond tightly binds the two together, from the moment Liu Yizhang came to the field, Wang Hui's eyes have never left him, Liu Yizhang said that she didn't listen to every word, just looked at him stupidly, how she wanted to throw herself into Liu Yizhang's arms and confide in him about her lovesickness for half a year.

"Xiaohui, are you okay?"

"Brother Yi, it's good to be alive! I can see you come back alive, and I will be content. ”

"Xiaohui, I heard Wei Ji say that Xianzhang proposed to you, I am very happy to hear it, Xianzhang is very suitable for you."

"Brother Yi, I didn't promise him, I only have you in my heart."

"Xiaohui, answer him, we have no chance in this life."

"Brother Yi, why? Just because we're cousins? Wang Hui had tears in her eyes, and her voice was already trembling.

"Xiaohui, this is not the main reason, I will return to the Korean battlefield in a few days, life and death are uncertain, and I am married now......"

When Wang Hui heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, lying on the ancient willow and crying bitterly, Liu Yizhang comforted the sad Wang Hui, and the past came to his heart. But the war has changed everything, and there is no going back, the only thing he can do is not to hurt Wang Hui anymore, he must cut through the mess quickly, even if Wang Hui hates himself for the rest of his life, he must tell her the truth.

Wang Hui cried for a long time before she raised her head and asked softly, "Brother Yi, is that girl kind to you?" The reason why Wang Hui asked this is because Liu Yizhang is the most affectionate man in the world in her heart.

Liu Yizhang was relieved when he saw Wang Hui asking himself like this, and his hanging heart finally let go, and he said affectionately, "Xiaohui, that girl's name is Wu Yutong, and she is also a volunteer soldier, she saved my life, and returned to the Liu family compound with me today, she is as kind as you." Xiaohui, I'm sorry for you, I failed you, if you want to hate me, hate me! ”

"Brother Yi, I don't hate you, I will never hate you, if I want to hate, I hate myself, I'm too cowardly, when Wei Ji signed up for the army at the beginning of the year, I could also sign up with her, but I thought about it again and again and still didn't sign up, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of becoming a burden to you on the battlefield, not only can't take care of you, but also let you be distracted to take care of me, if I had the ability of Wei Ji, I would have gone to the Korean battlefield to find you a long time ago."

"Xiaohui, it was the war that changed our fate, I am now a professional soldier, my duty is to defend my family and defend the country, galloping on the battlefield, and dying in battle may be my best destination!"

"Brother Yi, you can't die! We can't be husband and wife, but we also have to be the closest brothers and sisters. Liu Yizhang is a lover and a relative in Wang Hui's heart, and she is her spiritual pillar, and she loves him more than herself.

Liu Yizhang took Wang Hui into his arms and said silently, "Xiaohui, we will be the best brothers and sisters in this life, and we will definitely be a clean couple in the next life." ”

After Liu Yizhang sent Wang Hui home, he immediately returned to the Liu family compound. Although it was almost midnight, the courtyard was still brightly lit, and dozens of people from the Liu family compound still gathered in the courtyard and refused to disperse.

Wu Yutong has mingled with Liu Lao Niang, Zhang Yan, Ai Dao and other family members, under the repeated requests of everyone, is telling everyone about Liu Yizhang's heroic deeds on the Korean battlefield, praise and exclamation are endless, everyone saw Liu Yizhang back, they all gathered around, Liu Lao Niang shouted, "Second child, let my mother touch you again, I won't be dreaming, right?" ”

Liu Yizhang immediately knelt down in front of Liu Lao Niang, there were so many people just now, Liu Lao Niang didn't have a chance to take a closer look at Liu Yizhang, she took off Liu Yizhang's military hat, stroked Liu Yizhang's face, and tears flowed down involuntarily, "It's been a sin, it's only been half a year, and my son has grown like this!" What a lot of suffering and how much sin you have suffered! ”

Liu Chengzu and other elders also shook their heads and sighed, Liu Yizhang said with a smile, "Mother, uncle, elders, you don't have to be sad because of this, so many comrades-in-arms have been sacrificed, and it is already a miracle that I can live unscathed." ”

Wu Yutong was also comforting Mrs. Liu on the side, she said playfully, "Mother, don't you know, when Yizhang commanded the battle of Seed Mountain, thousands of people called him the third brother, and the troops he commanded were also called the Liu Family Army, which in addition to his ability to fight, it was really related to his old looks, so that the soldiers regarded him as a big brother from the bottom of their hearts, and he was much more popular than a little white face on the battlefield, and there were many female warriors who pursued him." ”

Mrs. Liu burst into tears and smiled, Aidao hugged Wu Yutong's shoulders affectionately, and asked with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, who are you and my second brother chasing?" ”

Wu Yutong smiled and said, "Aidao, I also feel strange, why did Yizhang and I get along in a daze?" Who is chasing whom, I really can't figure it out, anyway, he rides a horse, I run, who do you say is chasing whom? ”

Liu Yizhang stood up and said to everyone, "It's already very late at night, let's go back and rest, I can stay at home for more than a week to visit relatives this time, and we still have time to communicate together." ”

Everyone dispersed one after another, Liu Yizhang didn't find Daddy Liu's figure, and quietly asked Daddy Liu, "Mother, where is my father?" Did he sleep in his old man's house? ”

Mrs. Liu looked around and muttered, "Yes, where is your father?" I haven't seen anyone for a long time, so I went to your Uncle Wenxi's house to drink again as soon as I was happy. "Daddy Liu these days, he goes to Wenxi's house to drink at night when he has nothing to do, and the Hexi drum of great love sings more and more excitingly.

Zhang Yan was busy pouring out the room where Liu Yizhang and Wu Yutong slept at night, and when she heard Liu Yizhang inquire about the whereabouts of Daddy Liu, she said gently, "Second brother, you see that I patronized and cleaned up the room, and forgot to tell you, our father has been waiting for you in the study, you can go quickly." I'll settle my siblings in a moment, and I'll get you a few more snacks to bring over. ”

Under the moonlight, Liu Yizhang saw Father Liu wandering in front of the door of the family temple from a distance, and he said guiltily, "Dad, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”

"Yizhang, I listened to your speech in the field, and later saw you talking to Wang Hui, so I came back first. How about it, after a day of driving, can you stay up late? ”

"Dad, I'm not sleepy at all, I slept all the way home, the key is you, can you afford it? Why don't we talk about it tomorrow? ”

"Yizhang, you have been gone for more than half a year, except for a few good news sent by the army, I don't know anything else, you suddenly returned home in a cold manner, especially with Yutong, why didn't you say hello to me in advance for such a big event? You don't have to worry about my body, there are some things that we don't talk about tonight, how can I fall asleep? ”

"Okay, Dad, let's talk while drinking, and I also have something to tell you." Liu Yizhang helped Daddy Liu into the study, and then turned around to go to the family temple to incense the ancestors, but was stopped by Daddy Liu, he said with a pleasant face, "Yizhang, tomorrow at noon, I will take you and Yutong to solemnly go to the grave of the ancestors, and then go to the ancestral hall and the family temple to incense, you go back to your hometown to visit relatives in such a low-key manner, it seems that the wedding is not going to be held, so I really wronged you and Yutong." ”

Liu Yizhang said sincerely, "Dad, your analysis is not bad at all, Yutong and I have been approved by the head of the corps and have registered our marriage. Now I am the commander of the main regiment, the front line is tight, it is not appropriate to do a big job, Yutong is now pregnant with my child......"

Liu Yizhang was talking to Daddy Liu, Zhang Yan led Liu Zhizhang and Xigu to walk in with food, and said with a smile, "Second brother, it's been several hours since you entered the house, you haven't eaten a bite of rice, you haven't drunk a drop of water, are you hungry?" I ate this bowl of noodles first, and then drank with my father. ”

Zhang Yan made a large bowl of poached egg noodles for Liu Yizhang, Liu Zhizhang and Xigu stood beside Zhang Yan with a plate of wine and food, Liu Yizhang saw the food, and then realized that he was hungry, he smiled and said to Liu Zhizhang and Xigu, "What? Without the order of the sister-in-law, the dishes are reluctant to be eaten by the second brother? ”

Liu Zhizhang and Xigu hurriedly put the dishes in front of Liu Yizhang, Liu Yizhang finished a bowl of noodles in a moment, wiped his mouth, and said to Zhang Yan gratefully, "Sister-in-law, you are tired enough to run such a big family business, I see that now Zhizhang, Xigu, and Xinzhang are very knowledgeable about the rules, and you have spent a lot of effort." ”

Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Second brother, Zhizhang and Xigu are now my second generals, they may have done it, Xiao Xinzhang is my intimate little padded jacket, he ran to the gate again and again to look at you in order to wait for you to come back from the farm, and then he couldn't stand it anymore, so he fell asleep, he was the first to sleep in our family every day." Tonight, I slept in the east room with Aidao, Xigu, and Xinzhang, and Zhizhang still went to sleep with my uncle, and you and your younger siblings slept in the main house. ”

Liu Yizhang was very moved, he said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, everything is subject to your arrangement, but tonight, Yutong may have to stay alone in the empty room, and I want to drink all night with my father." ”

Father Liu smiled and said to Zhang Yan, "Xiaoyan, you sit down and drink some tea, there are just a few things to discuss with Yizhang." ”

Zhang Yan listened to Daddy Liu's instructions, so she asked Xigu and Zhizhang to go back to sleep first, and then poured wine for the two of them, and poured herself a cup of tea, she picked up the tea and said respectfully to Liu Yizhang, "Second brother, I will replace wine with tea, and welcome you to return triumphantly!" ”

Liu Yizhang picked up the wine and saluted, "Sister-in-law, thank you, only when the family is well, I can concentrate on doing things outside, this is fundamental, you are pregnant with Liujia now, you must pay more attention to rest!" After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.
