One day in August, 12:20 p.m.

Su Huikai stood in front of his small courtyard in the county seat.

The old concrete courtyard walls are crawling with creepers, and the iron doors painted with dark red paint are covered with rivets.

Since joining the army, Su Huikai has not had time to visit his home.

The second year was supposed to be on the turn, but unfortunately I went to the competition and met Han Zixuan's "hunter" detachment to pick people, the opportunity was rare, Lao Su was selected, and it was more than a year of intensive training.

In the third year, he spent most of the year in the overseas reserve team, and he did not return.

In the fourth year, he was transferred to a non-commissioned officer, and in the first half of the year, he wanted to visit his home, but because of an all-army special forces competition, it was delayed for another half a year......

It's August, and I've finally had a chance to go back home.

After looking at the door for several minutes, Su Huikai stepped forward and grabbed the knocker that was more than ten years old, and knocked on it with a clang.

"Mom, I'm back!"

The first call was made, and no one answered.

So he raised his voice again.

"Mom! I am back! I'm Sanwa! ”

Su Huikai is the third in the family, with a big brother and a second sister.

The eldest brother moved out and lived in a small business of groceries in the general market of the county town.

The second sister works as a salesman in an insurance company, and her brother-in-law is an outsider, who is half a wealthy son-in-law, and lives in a small three-story building with some history in Lao Su's house.

After shouting twice, there was a sudden sound of basic footsteps inside.

Click, Click, Click

The sound seemed to be the grinding sound of slippers on the ground.

Bang Dang –

With the sound of a deadbolt pulling, the large dark red iron door was pulled open from the inside.

"Three babies!"

The woman who appeared in the courtyard first covered her mouth with her hand, as if she had seen something earth-shattering, and she had to suppress her surging emotions.

This woman wearing a red T-shirt, black cropped pants, and frosted temples, dark skin and wrinkles, but a simple face is Su Huikai's mother, Liang Guilan.

Seeing her son, Liang Guilan was like a dream.

For more than three years, for the first time, I saw this little guy who came out of his belly, no, this is not a little guy anymore, this is already a 1.82-meter-sized guy, with a round waist and broad shoulders, five big and three thick, and a macho man who can break two bricks with one punch.

Whether it's a big guy or a macho man, it's a little baby who doesn't grow up in front of his mother.

Su Hui opened a big man, his nose was so sour, he was wearing a military uniform, but he couldn't pretend to be that strong anymore.

Mom is mom, that's the great mother.

went up and opened her arms, and Su Huikai hugged her mother.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

A short sentence made Liang Guilan's tears no longer hold back, and she slid down her face.

"My third baby! My third baby! You're back! ”

Liang Guilan, who only has a primary school education, slapped a pair of rough hands on her son's back, and every time she slapped into the strong family affection and love in the heart of traditional Chinese women.

Suddenly, Liang Guilan seemed to remember something, pushed Su Huikai away suddenly, turned her head and shouted into the house: "His father! Daddy! Hurry up and come out, the third baby is back! Sanwa is back! ”

I screamed a few times, but no one answered.

Liang Guilan looked indignant and said to Su Huikai: "Hmph! The dead old man must have gone to the backyard to serve his wildflowers again! ”

Su Huikai's father, Su Zhiguo, likes to play with flowers and plants.

The Su family opened a small shop on the side of the road in the county elementary school, buying and selling messy gadgets such as daily necessities and snacks. In the past two years, the shop has been handed over to the son-in-law to take care of, and the old couple is much more relaxed and cares for the elderly at home.

With time, Su Zhiguo's hobbies can be fully utilized.

But unlike others, others like to buy flowers and bonsai to raise, Su Zhiguo likes to find them by himself, the flowers on the roadside, and the strange-shaped tree roots in the ravine, are his favorites.

The home is all set up in the backyard, arranged along the wall, like a botanical garden.

This hobby is also buried for his wife Liang Guilian, saying that he is not as fragrant as wild flowers, and the beautiful flowers cultivated in the Dapeng greenhouse are not to be found, but to find wildflowers on the roadside.

Every time the two of them are grinding their mouths, Su Zhiguo will say with a heart: "Is that a flower cultivated in the greenhouse?" That's called hypocrisy! What is nature, nature is wild, wild flowers are worthy of being called flowers, and those that are cultivated and cultivated are called ornaments! ”

pulled his son into the yard, and the second sister Su Meng also came out.

Yawning in her mouth and rubbing her eyes, after lunch, Su Meng planned to squint for a while, and she was going to meet a customer in the afternoon, but she didn't think that she had just fallen asleep, and was awakened by her mother Liang Guilan's startled shout.

Seeing his brother, Su Meng came up and hugged him, hugged him, let go again, and sighed: "I can't hold it, you are getting bigger and bigger, brother." ”

Su Hui scratched her head.

Sister Su Meng has a powerful mouth and a lively head, when she is at home, Su Huikai is not the opponent of this second sister at any time, no matter whether she is reasonable or not, her sister is reasonable.

"Don't talk to your brother in the yard." Liang Guilan pulled her daughter away and pulled her son: "Have you eaten?" ”

"I came here and ate an eight-treasure porridge on the train."

"Can eight-treasure porridge be called rice?" Liang Guilan suddenly said angrily: "You are such a big person, why don't you know how to take care of yourself?" Eat and eat, no noodles and steamed buns, can you raise people?! Look at yourself, it's been several years since you went to the army, and you haven't grown, but you've lost weight! Tsk, look at these arms and legs...... This army won't be fed?! ”

A series of non-stop chattering made Su Hui cry and laugh, as if she had returned to her junior high school years.

At that time, every time I came back from the sports school, my mother was like this, she always liked to look at herself, pinched her hands, looked at her body, and then said in a tone of evaluation of cats and dogs: "Look at the school food, make my three babies ...... thin"

Liang Guilan pulled the backpack and unloaded it from her son's body.

"Ouch, this thing is dead, what are you pretending?"

"I saw someone selling this massager at the train station in G City, saying that it was good for your feet, so I won't buy one and come back to you to try it to see if it is useful for your feet."

Su Meng leaned over, opened the rucksack and removed the massager from it, took it in his hand and looked at it again and again, then shook his head and said, "I said that I am an innocent brother, you are being tricked again." This thing is everywhere in our small county, and it is useless to cheat money under the banner of giving free massages to the elderly, and it is more comfortable to soak your feet in some medicine. ”

And he asked, "How much?" ”

"Three hundred and five." Su Huikai said: "I bought it with my salary. ”

Su Meng said: "I think you are a two-hundred-five. This money is thrown into the water, and it is blind. ”

After saying that, he threw it into the sofa next to him.

But Liang Guilan didn't dislike it, she went up and picked it up and looked at it again: "As long as it is bought by Sanwa, I will use it, I like it." Su Meng, can you not hit your brother? As soon as he came back, you bullied him. ”

Su Meng rolled her eyes, got up and walked upstairs: "I knew that I picked it up." ”

"Dead girl!" Looking at the back of her daughter going upstairs, Liang Guilan turned around and pressed Su Hui into the sofa and said, "Sit, Mom will go and make you something to eat right away." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
