Chapter 123: A Grateful Father (Five Watches)
The car stopped in front of the district gate, Lei Yan paid the money, got out of the car, and stood at the district gate looking at the six-story building not far away, and his family lived on the third floor.
Lei Yan took a deep breath, and for a moment it was like a world away, closing his eyes and thinking about his past memories carefully, everything was very clear, this was his home in this world.
Looking left and right, Lei Yan went to the vegetable market at the door to buy a few good dishes, bought a bottle of good wine in the supermarket, and then walked into the district with a bunch of things.
Stepping on the stairs that were both familiar and unfamiliar, Lei Yan slowly came to the door, standing at the door and did not dare to open the door for a while, this was the first time he went home, and his heart was inexplicably nervous and excited.
After being silent for a moment, Lei Yan took a deep breath, stepped forward to open the door, changed his slippers at the door, and slowly walked into the room.
Everything in the house had not changed, it was exactly the same as he remembered, with yellow floors, old-fashioned mahogany furniture, and a portrait of his mother.
Familiar scenes come into view, every item can evoke a memory, I thought that suddenly returning to this home would be a strange feeling, but I didn't expect everything to be so familiar, so kind, as if nothing has changed, including myself.
Slowly walked to the table, Lei Yan gently picked up his mother's portrait, wiped it with his sleeve, and put it back in place, the mother's gentle smile in the photo stayed in Lei Yan's childhood memory, and now even her face has become blurred, only when she sees the photo, her mother's face becomes clear.
Back in his room, Lei Yan was lying on the bed, although it had been so long, his sheets and bedding all exuded a fresh smell, obviously his father often took them out to change for washing.
Closing his eyes, Lei Yan felt a rare warmth, he had been isolated from the world for the past few months, and he had made himself look like a person, and now he felt a little like returning to normal life.
Unconsciously, Lei Yan fell asleep, this sleep was very sweet, there were no nightmares, no beasts, and no assembly whistles that would sound at any time, there was no need to think about anything, just empty your brain, everything was so stable.
When he woke up, it was already dark, Lei Yan got up and turned on the light, his father hadn't come back yet, it was common for him to work overtime, not to mention that there was no one at home, and it was not interesting to go home by himself.
Lei Yan took off his coat, came to the kitchen, took out all the dishes he bought, and cooked a few good dishes himself.
Just when Lei Yan was busy working in the kitchen, the door opened, and Lei Kejun came back from work.
Seeing the unfamiliar shoes at the door, his first reaction when he entered the door was that there was a burglar in the house, and when he heard movement in the kitchen, he took out a gun and came to the kitchen door with a heart.
"Don't move, put your hands up and lean against the wall!" Lei Kejun suddenly appeared at the door, pointed a gun at Lei Yan, and shouted loudly.
Lei Yan flipped the spoon in his right hand and held a spatula in his left hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Dad, you don't even know your son anymore?" ”
"Huh?" Lei Kejun's eyes froze, slowly put down the gun in his hand, looked at it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Son? Is it really you? ”
"It's not me who else can there be!" Lei Yan put down the shovel and smiled.
"Oh my eye, why have you changed so much?" Lei Kejun didn't recognize it at a glance, and he didn't blame him, when Lei Yan joined the army, he was only 60 kilograms, thin like a bamboo pole, and now he is full of tendons and 85 kilograms, which is like two people before.
"It's not because you were too ruthless that you sent me to the army, now it's okay, I can eat six bowls of rice in one meal, I'm afraid you can't afford it!" Lei Yan put the filler in the pot into the plate.
"Haha, okay, it seems that my decision is right, the army is really a good place to exercise, and now he looks like a man, like my son of the Lake's army."
"That's right, he wasn't your son before!" Lei Yan held the plate and placed it on the table.
"I used to see you on fire, looking sick, I'm afraid you won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future!" Lei Kejun happily closed his mouth.
"Then you don't have to worry about it, come, I'll have two drinks with you today!" Seeing that the food was ready, Lei Yan beckoned his father to sit down.
"Do you troops let you drink?" Lake Jun was worried.
"Of course you won't let it in the army, isn't this a holiday!" Lei Yan smiled and poured his father a glass of wine, and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Come, Dad, take a sip, thank you really for sending me into the army, otherwise I wouldn't know where to work now!" Lei Yan picked up his wine glass.
"Stink, you just know!" Lei Kejun is very happy today, there is nothing more uplifting than seeing his son come out.
"By the way, son, which unit are you in now?" After eating two bites of food, Lei Kejun asked curiously.
"Well, this one!" Lei Yan shook his head and said, "No! ”
"What's not to do, at most it's a reconnaissance company!" Lei Kejun said casually.
"Dad, you know that the army has a secrecy policy!" Lei Yan took a bite of chicken.
Hearing this, Lei Kejun frowned, suddenly thought of something in his heart, put down his chopsticks and slowly raised his head, "The secrecy regulations are for special units, what does it have to do with you as a soldier, could it be that you have joined the special forces?" ”
"Dad, you know a lot!" Lei Yan smiled, neither negative nor affirmative, but the answer was already clear.
"Did you really join the special forces?" Lei Kejun shouted in surprise.
"I don't have anything!" Lei Yan shrugged his shoulders and munched on food like no one else.
Lei Kejun looked at his son and was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled with relief: "I really didn't expect that my weak son would become a special combat member, and my father is proud of you!" ”
Lei Kejun picked up the wine glass and took a sip to fill a glass of liquor.
"Dad, I thought you'd be angry!" Lei Yan said softly, after all, it is a life job, and what parent is not worried.
The most tragic thing in life is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, walking on this road is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with one foot, maybe it will be glorious, and for Lei Yanlai, if there is really such one, the most sorry is the father.
"What are you angry about, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, my son has become a special soldier, this is my greatest glory, our family is serving the people, you do better than my father!" Lei Kejun's sonorous and powerful, but his eyes were unconsciously red.
Lei Yan didn't continue, the father and son pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank until midnight, the two talked a lot, from time to adulthood, Lei Kejun told many stories about catching criminals, many of which were thrilling scenes Lei Yan listened to the blood boiling, but for the lone wolf commando, Lei Yan didn't say a word.
In the end, both of them were drunk, Lei Yan was drunk and unconscious, he didn't know how to go to bed, he slept until the second afternoon, and although he woke up with wine, his head was still groggy and a little top-heavy.
