People in the world say that "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", but which parent can really see it?

At noon, the cabin was crowded with people, and all eyes were on the low, square table.

There was no food on the table, but it was full of various objects: a copy of the Analects, a wolf's hair, an abacus, a seal, a large ocean, a box cannon, and a Hanyang-made saber...... Varied, dazzling.

The small square table is the dining table of Li Siwei's family, nailed with wooden boards, no more than two feet high, and a low stool more than a foot high is placed on the side of the table.

Aren't you going to eat?

After looking at it for a while, Qiansheng turned his head to look at Ning Rou who was protecting him, his eyes were full of confusion.

"Poof," Wu Ruolan on the side was happy, "Qiansheng must have thought that he was going to eat!" ”

The two babies are getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of food is also bigger, but the food in the group is not nutritious, and it is difficult for the two girls to feed them, so when they eat on weekdays, the two girls will also feed the baby some gruel and corn paste, and the two babies also love to eat.

"Turtle's," Li Siwei also smiled, leaned over and touched Qiansheng's little face, "Son, don't you like anything on this table?" ”

Qiansheng looked at Li Siwei, still confused.

"Qiansheng is good," Ning Rou smiled softly, and pointed to the table with expectant eyes, "Can you bring something back for your mother?" ”

Qiansheng seemed to understand Ning Rou's expression, looked back at Ning Rou's fingers, slowly let go of the right hand holding on the side of the table, and quickly reached over and pressed the book "Analects" that Ning Rou pointed to, but unfortunately, the book was too big and his hand was too small to grasp it.

Ning Rou has already smiled, this baby loves books, and it will definitely attract the love of his grandfather and grandfather.

"Yes," Li Siwei also laughed, "My son will definitely be able to read well in the future!" ”

"What's so good about reading?" Liao Heiniu smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the box cannon on the table, "Qiansheng, listen to Lao Tzu, take this...... That's a good thing! ”

Qiansheng couldn't hold the "Analects", and looked at the box cannon along Liao Heiniu's fingers, a hint of joy flashed on his little face, and he reached out and grabbed it.

"Turtle's," Li Siwei glared at Liao Heiniu, "Mo instigated my son's ......"

"That's it," Wu Ruolan also glared at Liao Heiniu, "Qiansheng is not a soldier!" ”

"What's so bad about being a soldier?" Liao Heiniu laughed wryly, "This baby must be like him as a soldier, he can make some fame, and he can marry a beautiful mother-in-law!" ”

Li Siwei froze for a moment and shook his head helplessly, and Wu Ruolan and Ning Rou were speechless.

Li Kun echoed with a smile on the side, "Brother Liao is right, this baby will definitely be a good material to be a soldier in the future......"

Before Li Kun's words fell, Zheng Sanyang laughed on the side, "Catch it!" ”

"It seems that Chisei really likes guns!" Lu Tiesheng and the others also echoed and laughed.

Qiansheng had already grabbed the gun, but he couldn't hold the box of cannons.

"Qiansheng," Ning Rou hurriedly shouted.

Qiansheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Ning Rou, and his little face was full of smiles.

Looking at that smiling face, Ning Rou hesitated for a moment, and finally just smiled and nodded at Qiansheng, her face full of gentleness.

"Forget it," Li Siwei also shook his head with a smile, "The baby is so big, do you know what?" Let him take what he rares! ”

Catching Zhou is just a ritual, and it is a hope for my parents.

What does such a little baby know?

The baby who caught Zhou and caught the book really became the champion?

Then the doll who caught Zhou and caught the tiger talisman really became a general?

As long as the baby is happy, let him go!

"Son," Li Siwei leaned over and smiled at Qiansheng, "What do you want to take, Lao Tzu will help you get it." ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei picked up the box cannon and put it in front of Qiansheng, and Qiansheng smiled happily, and hurriedly stretched out his little hand to the saber and grabbed it vigorously.

Li Siwei smiled and brought the saber in front of him again, but saw Qiansheng's big eyes looking at the "Analects" again.

Seeing that Qiansheng was having fun, An An in Wu Ruolan's arms also waved her little hands and struggled, staring at the objects on the table with a pair of big eyes.

"Ruolan," Seeing this, Li Siwei was also playful, and smiled at Wu Ruolan, "Put An An down too." ”

So, a week grabbing ceremony turned into a parent-child game, seeing the two babies standing on the stool happily, everyone was also smiling, and the wooden house was suddenly jubilant.

Joy is always so short-lived, in the blink of an eye it is the middle of winter, the first snow has fallen on the station, it has snowed, and the end of the year is getting closer and closer...... Li Kun should also go back.

The winter of '40 was extremely cold, but the thick snow melted too quickly, melting into a puddle of water, which flowed into the hearts of the two women, which could not be broken.

As early as the beginning of October, Britain lifted the blockade of the Yunnan-Burma Highway under the strong protest of the United States, and foreign aid and material resources continued to enter the Chinese battlefield, and the plight of the anti-Japanese war troops lacking medical treatment and medicine was improved.

The baby is leaving, and if I don't accompany them at this time, I don't know when I will be able to accompany them!

Looking at the two daughters who were widowed, Li Siwei didn't feel good in his heart, but it was better to let the baby go to the rear than to stay on the front line, God knows when the fight will start again?

In mid-December, the snow on the ground had melted to seventy-seven or eighty-eight, Li Kun hesitated again and again, but still expressed his intention to Li Siwei, "Fourth, if you wait any longer, you won't be able to go back before the year." ”

Li Kun manages the family affairs, and the end of the year is also the busiest time.

"I'll leave tomorrow!" Li Siwei naturally understood Li Kun's difficulties, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he had to grit his teeth and nodded, "Second brother, in the future, the two babies will have to worry about you." ”

"Don't worry, fourth!" Li Kun patted Li Siwei's shoulder heavily, "The family has been arranged, I'm afraid that the family won't take good care of me, so I've already found two capable nurses to come back." ”

Li Kun has been managing family affairs for six or seven years, and he is naturally safe, otherwise, Li Siwei would not dare to hand over the baby to him.

The parting came as scheduled, the two women put the baby to sleep, let Li Kun and the three of them take it away, and Li Siwei didn't dare to send it away, if the two babies woke up on the road and cried...... I'm afraid he won't be able to do this anymore.

Li Sanguang took his two brothers all the way to the border of the defense area, and when they came back the next day, all three of them had red eyes and looked lonely.

It is said that "children are the hearts and minds of parents", how much better can the situation of Li Siwei and his two daughters be?

When Li Sanguang saw Li Siwei again, he didn't know what to say for a while, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but he was speechless.

It's winter, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in southern Jinnan are still fighting for the sweep to smash the Japanese invaders, and the soldiers of the various departments of Zhongtiao Mountain are also helping on the side, but the south bank of the Yellow River is calm.

This year, the Japanese are still struggling in the quagmire, but they have fallen deeper and deeper.

The training of the 66th Regiment is still very tight, and although Li Siwei is still diligent, his heart has already flown back to his hometown with the two children, and he is looking forward to the letter from home.

On January 24, 41, the Japanese puppet army that had carried out a large-scale "sweep" against the base areas of the Eighth Route Army all withdrew to their original stations, and the battle of the 100 regiments came to an end, dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders in North China, and injecting a shot in the arm for the vast number of anti-Japanese soldiers in the most arduous year of the great cause of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The War of Resistance will be won!

This day is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month of the 39th lunar calendar, and the smell of the New Year is already clear and audible.

The 66th Regiment was busy in the station, and the soldiers had already begun to prepare for the Spring Festival, and the more difficult the situation, the more Li Siwei hoped that the soldiers could have a good year, not to mention, he also knew that the next situation would be even more difficult.

At the beginning of the night, Li Siwei returned to the regiment headquarters and walked straight to his cabin, although the baby was gone, the mother-in-law was still there, and the home was still there!

With the passage of time, the two daughters' concern for the baby has become stronger and stronger, and no matter how Li Siwei comforts her, she can't get rid of it.

Walking outside the empty wooden door, Li Siwei straightened his clothes and hat, and a smile appeared on his tired face, no matter what, sending the baby away from the two girls made him feel guilty.

"Squeak......

Gently pushed the door open, but the scene inside the room made Li Siwei stunned.

The room was warmly lit, and as usual, the food was already on the table, and the basins and towels were placed on the low stools...... But what's the matter with the smiles on the faces of the two women?

It's been a long time since I've seen the two girls smile so brightly, and Li Siwei suddenly felt light.

"Coming back?" Ning Rou was mending her clothes while chatting quietly with Wu Ruolan, her face was full of smiles, and when she heard the sound, she looked up and smiled at Li Siwei.

"Wash your face quickly," Wu Ruolan hurriedly got up and came over to help Li Siwei pour water, with a smile on her pretty face, "If you don't come back, the food should be cold." ”

"What's going on?" Li Siwei smiled and walked to the low stool, "Looking at your appearance, there must be something good......

"Eat first," Wu Ruolan glanced at Li Siwei coquettishly, and handed over the wrung towel, "I'll tell you after eating." ”

"It's still a secret!" Li Siwei took the towel with a smile and wiped his face indiscriminately, "Okay, let's eat first......

The two women at the dinner table talked and laughed, but they never spoke, which made Li Siwei's heart itch.

After eating, Li Siwei diligently put away the dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw the two girls sitting on the edge of the bed, he couldn't wait to come over, "What's wrong?" It can't be a small ......."

Li Siwei's speculation is not unfounded.

Recently, Lu Quanyou was sick, and he stayed in the medical platoon for a while, and he and Xiao Zhan looked at each other right each other, which has become an open secret, but every time they were asked when they would get married, the two of them kept their mouths shut.

"Alas," Ning Rou was stunned and sighed softly, "Xiao Zhan does like Quanyou, but both of them are stuffy gourds......"

"That's it!" Wu Ruolan hurriedly agreed, "I'm anxious for them, if I ...... If you want to be together, just say it, what's there to be afraid of? ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of the past, and a smile quietly crept up the corner of his mouth, it was a blessing to meet a straightforward girl like Ruolan!

"It's all cheap for you!" Ning Rou secretly pinched Li Siwei's waist, looked at Wu Ruolan, who hated iron but not steel, and muttered softly.

Wu Ruolan's face turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly looked at him left and right, "That...... There's a letter from home! ”

"Hiss......" Li Siwei just took a breath of cool air, and when he heard the words, he stood up suddenly, ecstatic, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" What about faith? ”

"Hmph," Wu Ruolan glanced at Li Siwei, "Which one shouted that you were so ruthless......

As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, and he took out an envelope from under the pillow and handed it to Li Siwei.

Ning Rou gently took Wu Ruolan into her arms, and smiled softly at Li Siwei, "The baby has arrived, everything is fine, and she won't cry." ”

"Yes," Speaking of the baby, Wu Ruolan's voice became brisk again, "The letter said that An An has become well-behaved......"

Li Siwei listened to the two girls chattering and read the letter at the same time, but his heart was a little sour.

After reading the letter slowly, Li Siwei raised his head, but saw Ning Rou handing over a photo, and his voice was soft, "...... sent with the letter."

It was a family photo, but Li Siwei's eyes fell on the middle of the first row: two dolls in new clothes sat side by side on a small stool, smiling......

Looking at the two familiar smiling faces, Li Siwei's nose was sour, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes and fell into the dust.

The two women watched this scene silently, watching Li Siwei raise his right hand tremblingly, gently rubbing the two smiling faces, tears already rolling down.

The room was so quiet that you could hear the teardrops falling to the dust, "pop...... Smack......"

The teardrop must have been shattered, broken!

After a long time, Li Siwei wiped his eyes in a panic, and smiled at the two daughters, "Family portrait...... What a good light! ”

"Yes, yes, it's a good shot!" The two women nodded again and again, "When we return to our hometown, we (we) will take another photo...... It's definitely better than this one! ”

As she spoke, the two girls were already in tears.

Anyway, the two babies went back safely, and the three of them were also at ease.

This year, the 66th Regiment was still happy and lively.

The night is like ink, the bonfire on the school field is dim, and the tables made of wooden planks are neatly arranged, and there is no end in sight.

There was only a large pot of soup, a basket of corn buns, and a jar of wine on the table, but this did not affect the joy of this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the slightest.

In this era, a pot of pork stewed vermicelli is already considered to have passed a fat year.

Paying tribute to those brothers who have passed away, and paying tribute to those brothers who have left, Li Siwei announced the official opening of the meal.

For a while, the school field was full of people, and the soldiers pushed their cups and changed the lamps, which was so lively.

Drinking so hot, Li Siwei stood up, held the wine bowl, and looked around at the soldiers, "Brothers, we were in Zhongtiao Mountain on this day last year, we were in Flying Eagle Fort today the year before last, and we were in Wuhe Village today the year before last, but I believe that it won't be long before we can all go back to our hometown for the New Year!" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei raised the wine bowl, "Dry this bowl of wine, let's go together!" ”

After that, Li Siwei raised the wine bowl and poured it with his head up.

"Dry this bowl of wine, let's go together......"

All the soldiers made a promise, raised their bowls and raised their heads one after another, and drank!

On the fort not far away, an artilleryman was squatting on the sentry and smoking silently, and when he heard the movement, he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the 66th Regiment's station.

But he knew it was a bonfire, and it was still burning!
