The night was hazy, the lights in the Li family's old village were bright, the old man was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, Qiansheng was already asleep in his arms, but a pair of small hands were still holding the old man's clothes.

"Bang ......"

The old lady walked out of the east wing and walked straight to the old man, as if relieved, "The little girl was finally coaxed to sleep by Sister-in-law Liu......"

"Oh," the old man turned around, snorted into his arms, and smiled helplessly, "What about this?" ”

"What can I do?" The old lady stretched out her hand and stroked Qiansheng's little face, and sighed softly, "I miss his father every day, and I finally read it back...... Leave it to him! ”

Li Siwei went to fight the pigs, but the two babies refused to sleep, so they had to wait for their father to come back and sleep with them...... However, where could the little doll survive, and after a while, she dozed off, and An An was coaxed to bed by Sister-in-law Liu, but Qianshenglai was in the old man's arms and refused to come down.

"Alas," the old man looked up at the dark clouds in the sky slowly engulfing the bright moon, and his expression gradually became lonely, "What a good two dolls...... Poor born in the old fourth family......"

"Old man, what nonsense are you talking about!" The old lady glared at the old man and straightened her face, "Such a well-behaved Sun Wa...... If you don't want it, I'll keep it alone! ”

"You ......"

The old man was stunned, looked at the old lady with a smile on his face, "Aren't I pitiful for the two babies!" I left my father and mother at such a young age......"

"Smack......

Before the old man's words fell, he heard a faint gunfire in the night sky, the sound stopped abruptly, and an old face collapsed.

"Daddy......"

As soon as the old man's words fell, he heard the cry of a thousand lives of joy in his arms, the little guy had already opened his eyes, and was twisting his little head to look around, his little face was sleepy, but he had already smiled, "Lord, Daddy......"

"Whew......"

Immediately afterwards, a terrible howl came, the little guy's smile suddenly froze, his little face turned pale, his voice stopped abruptly, and he shrank into the old man's arms, looking at the direction from which the miserable howl came, and a trace of doubt rose in his eyes, mixed with unbearable color.

"Smack...... Oh...... Syllable...... Whew......"

The sound of gunfire kept coming, and the terrible howls were incessant.

"Master,"

Qiansheng shrank in the old man's arms, looking timidly into the darkness, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "...... hurt"

"Mo Shi, Mo Shi," the old man hurriedly patted Qiansheng's back and comforted him softly, "Your father is killing pigs!" ”

"Yes," the old lady hurriedly leaned over to settle down, "good grandson, your father is killing pigs for you!" Eat meat tomorrow ......"

"Whew...... Whew......"

Qiansheng looked at the old lady timidly, listening to the miserable howls that kept coming back, but the mist in his eyes became more and more, "It hurts...... Pig Pig Pain ......"

"Uh......"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, remembering that when the two babies first came back, they saw the scene of killing the New Year's pig at home, and hurriedly covered Qiansheng's ears tightly.

When they were on the front line, every time they finished a battle, they could not help but cry out of the wounded soldiers, but in order not to let the two babies hear it, Li Siwei and the two daughters kept them in the cabin in the regiment headquarters compound and let Aunt Tong take care of them.

Therefore, although the two babies have lived on the front line for a year, they often hear the sound of guns and cannons, and hear the sound of shouting and killing, but they have never heard a miserable howl.

But when they returned to their hometown, the two babies saw the New Year's pig killed at home, and they shed tears at that time, and they coaxed for a long time before they stopped.

As soon as she remembered the scene at that time, the old lady couldn't help but complain to the old man, "Why are you still scared here?" Hurry up and take the baby in......"

"Okay," the old man smiled helplessly, "isn't this a stop?" ”

The old lady was stunned, and then she listened to it, and sure enough, she couldn't hear the miserable howl of the arch pig at all, so she gently let go of her hand, and touched Qiansheng's little face with a smile, "Good grandson, the pig is gone......"

Although the old lady has lived for more than 60 years, she has long seen through the cruelty of this world, but ...... How do you say those words to a child who is not yet two years old?

"Alas," the old man looked down at Qiansheng in his arms, and sighed helplessly, "This baby...... I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the battlefield! ”

"You old thing!" When the old lady heard this, she was anxious, "You also want to send this to the battlefield, and you also want to send that to the battlefield, why don't you go yourself?" ”

"Uh......"

The old man was speechless, only a soft sigh, "Alas, ......"

How could he ever want to send his children and grandchildren to the front? But......

"Daddy,"

At this moment, Li Gan rushed into the courtyard gate panting, his face full of excitement, "All hit, four heads...... Don't worry, I'll find someone to carry it! ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Qian hurried out again.

"Okay," the old man praised loudly, let out a long sigh of relief, looked down at Qiansheng in his arms, full of anger, "Little guy, you have to be stronger, and you will learn from your ......father in the future."

"Don't listen to your master," the old lady hurriedly disrupted the old man's words, and stroked Qiansheng's forehead lovingly, "That's it...... Be a good grandson of grandma, never learn from your father......"

"You...... This old woman! ”

The old man sighed helplessly, and when he saw the old lady's gaze, he could only smile bitterly, "Yes, Qiansheng, just listen to your grandmother's ......"

Qiansheng stared at the two old men with big eyes, his tears had not dried, but he was already full of confusion.

"Bang ......"

At this moment, hurried and heavy footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and they came straight to the door.

The three of them looked over together, and saw a person carrying a bloody arch pig into the courtyard gate, the wild boar had to be about two hundred catties, and it was carried on the shoulder, covering the head and face of the person who came, but the two old men knew that it was Li Siwei when they saw the delicate figure, and hurriedly greeted him, "Fourth, put it down, put it down...... Ask your eldest brother to find someone to fix ......"

"Mo Shi," Li Siwei didn't stop, his voice was brisk, "I'll move to the backyard first......"

"Daddy...... Wow......" Before Li Siwei's words fell, Qiansheng had already cried loudly, struggling hard in the old man's arms, and was about to go to the ground, "Master...... Daddy hurts ......"

"Puff ......"

Hearing Qiansheng's cry, Li Siwei hurriedly threw the arch pig on his shoulder aside, and hurriedly walked over, "Good son, what's wrong?" ”

"Hurt ......"

Qiansheng cried and threw himself into Li Siwei's arms, and was picked up in his arms by Li Siwei, and hurriedly stretched out his little hand to touch Li Siwei's clothes, and touched the placket that was soaked in pig blood, and immediately cried even more sadly, "Dad...... It hurts ......."

How can a child know where the blood comes from? As soon as he saw that Li Siwei had blood on his body, he was anxious......

Li Siwei looked at Qiansheng's little hand, and immediately understood, hurriedly pulled away his little hand, and smiled brightly, "Silly son, dad doesn't hurt ......"

As he spoke, a warm current surged from the bottom of his heart and rushed straight to his eyes.

"Good grandson, come down," the old lady hurriedly came to hug Qiansheng, "let your father take a bath first and change his clothes......"

"Yes, yes," the old man hurriedly agreed, grabbed two steps and hugged Qiansheng from Li Siwei's arms, turned his head and urged the old lady, "Go and let Xichun prepare the bath water!" ”

"Oh," the old lady hurriedly agreed, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Siwei, "Mother, Tianfu is still waiting for me by the river!" I'll just swim two laps in the river with him......"

Before the words fell, Li Siwei turned around and ran away and disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Sister-in-law Liu and Xichun are both helpers in the family, in this era, it is rare for poor people to go to the landlord's old rich family to help, and Li Siwei is powerless to change, but if you can add less trouble to them, add less!

"Daddy...... Hmmm......"

The two old men were still looking at Li Siwei's back in a daze, but Qiansheng began to cry again, waving his hands vigorously towards the door.

"Don't cry, don't cry," the two old men hurriedly comforted again, "Your father will be back soon......"

After some comfort, Qiansheng finally stopped crying, but he still looked at the gate of the black hole with tears in his eyes, and refused to let the old lady hug him into the house.

The old lady was also helpless, so she had to stand in the courtyard and watch a few arch pigs being carried back by everyone one after another.

Fortunately, Li Siwei didn't come back slowly, as soon as he came back, he took Qiansheng bare-chested, raised it to the top of his head, and gently put his water-stained forehead on Qiansheng's forehead, making Qiansheng "giggle" and laugh.

Liu Tianfu watched quietly from the side, his big face was already quietly full of smiles, and his eyes were full of envy.

Defend the family and the country, protect the family and defend the country, and only when you have a mother-in-law and a baby can you have a home!

"Good son," Li Siwei and Qiansheng were intimate enough, so he hugged him in his arms and went straight to the east wing, "Tonight, our three masters will sleep together......

Summer nights are exceptionally short!

When the morning light penetrated into the room, Li Siwei gently opened his eyes, felt the weight on his chest, gently bowed his neck and looked down, and saw the two babies sleeping soundly on his chest.

A smile bloomed on his face, Li Siwei stretched out his big hand and carefully stroked their little heads, muttering to himself, "If only your mother could see you......"

"Squeak......

The heavy courtyard door was gently opened, and the sound came into the house, making Li Siwei sigh secretly, it was time to prepare for the banquet......

The four arch pigs have been picked up overnight, and as soon as the day dawns, the backyard room is also busy, and the fragrance of food spreads in the old house.

Tables, chairs and benches were set up in the front yard, and the festive atmosphere slowly brewed.

The two little ones opened their eyes when they heard the sound, but saw that there was no "father" on the bed, so they hurriedly turned over and sat up, turned their little heads, and searched around the house.

"Good grandson," the old lady who had been guarding the bed hurriedly comforted, "Your father is waiting for you outside!" Hurry up, it's time to eat recklessness after washing your face......"

"Reckless" is a word used by the elderly in Sifang Village when coaxing children to eat.

The front yard is very spacious, twelve tables are neatly arranged, the hired helpers are shuttling through the busy, men, women and children in the village are coming in one after another, and the old man and Li Siwei are greeting them one by one at the door, greeting each other.

Li Gan commanded in the front yard, Li Kun sat in the backyard, and the dishes were put on the table like a stream.

The two little ones were led out of the door by the old lady, and when they saw this lively scene, they immediately jumped up and shouted happily, "Daddy...... Daddy......"

The courtyard is full of voices, where can Li Siwei hear it? The two little guys suddenly became anxious and yelled, "Daddy......"

"Grandma will take you over," the old lady smiled and pulled up the two babies and went down the stairs, through the crowd, to the gate of the courtyard.

Li Siwei just turned around and hurriedly waved at them, smiling brightly.

"Daddy......"

The two little guys also saw Li Siwei, quickly opened the old lady's hand, stumbled towards Li Siwei, hugged Li Siwei's legs left and right, raised their little heads, and their faces were full of joy.

There is no need to write a gift book for this banquet, there is no need to engage in rituals, it is much more direct, and the people who come are arranged by Li Gan to the table one by one, and they can eat just waiting for the wine and food to be served.

"Folks," suddenly, an old man with a white beard stood up in the center, slowly looked around at everyone, and waved his hand tremblingly, "Be quiet, be quiet......

Everyone forgot to come, and the noise in the courtyard disappeared in an instant.

"Uncle," the old man hurriedly walked over, with a smile on his face, "You are old and this is ......"

"Yuan Qin," the old man looked at the old man with a very serious expression, "the so-called merit is not a good thing, you invited us all over, and entertained us with good wine and meat...... You have to explain that first, right? ”

"This ......" The old man was stunned and looked at Li Siwei, who was still standing at the gate of the courtyard with two babies.

The eyes of the crowd followed.

Li Siwei hurriedly put the two babies down, took two steps forward, and smiled at the old man, "Uncle Mi is right." ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei's gaze slowly swept over everyone, his expression gradually became solemn, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, "Everyone...... Elders, brothers and sisters, ...... Younger generations, I ...... I didn't do more things back then, and I sat on a lot of wrong things......"

"Fourth, it's all over......"

Everyone laughed and comforted, "Now, you are an official soldier, fighting devils on the front line...... Gave us a face in the Quartet Village......"

"No," looking at the faces that had endured the hardships of life but still had a simple smile, Li Siwei suddenly had a sour nose and quickly shook his head, "That day...... When I went to Jiangcheng, twenty-five brothers went with me...... On the same day, when I was training in Macheng, twenty-one brothers from Sifangzhai came to our regiment......"

As he spoke, Li Siwei knelt down with a "poof", "It's me who didn't take care of them......

After all, tears are like a sea bursting its banks!

Everyone was stunned, but they were all silent, and there was only Li Siwei's choked cry in the courtyard.

"Commander," Liu Tianfu hurriedly ran over, leaned over to pull Li Siwei, his eyes were already red, "I don't blame you, I can't blame you......"

However, no matter how strong Liu Tianfu was, Li Siwei just couldn't kneel for a long time, and let the tears slip down.

"Daddy...... Hmmm......"

Qiansheng and An An were already stunned, and after a burst of consternation, they rushed to Li Siwei crying.

"Bang ......"

Uncle Yu suddenly picked up a coarse porcelain bowl and slammed it on the table, and shouted with a straight face, "Get up!" Li Siwei, you give it up! ”

"Hmm......"

The two babies were startled and froze in place, forgetting to cry.

Only then did everyone react and echoed, "Fourth, get up quickly......"

Several middle-aged people who were close also hurriedly ran over to help Li Siwei, but saw Li Siwei flick his arms and break away from Liu Tianfu's hand, looking at everyone with teary eyes, "I...... I'm sorry for you......"

"Li Siwei!" Uncle Mi stomped his feet vigorously, slapped his thighs with a "snap" sound, and scolded Li Siwei Li Siwei, "You Tmall can't wake up...... Where did the man in Sifangzhai die for you! They died fighting for the country, and they died to fight for the people of the Sifang Village...... Everyone knows that you came back last night, but has anyone ever complained to you and complained to you? ”

Li Siwei was stunned, looked at his uncle sneeringly, and was speechless.

"You, you......"

Uncle Mi sighed, and suddenly coughed violently, and the old man hurriedly reached out to help, but was slammed away by Uncle Mi with a wave of his hand.

Uncle Mi's eyes were still glaring at Li Siwei angrily, panting, "You, you...... You're still ...... Sifangzhai has lived for so many years...... Whew...... Why don't you know the people of Sifang Village......"

Uncle Mi's words were like a hammer hitting Li Siwei's heart, making him lower his head in shame, and his face was flushed!

Li Siwei has always regarded himself as a person from Sifang Village, and through more than ten years of meetings, he thought that he already knew the people of Sifang Village very well, but at this moment, he realized that he did not know Sifang Village at all......

"Fourth, get up......"

A pair of calloused hands reached over and grabbed Li Siwei's arm.

"Fourth, we didn't blame you......"

"When we sent the baby away, we didn't think he would come back......"

"The baby is gone, that's also the evil ...... made by the little devil of the dog day"

A simple exhortation entered Li Siwei's ears and resounded in his mind.

Li Siwei was helped up, and his tears swept over his honest face, and his heart was mixed.

He still doesn't understand this era, let alone the peasants of this era.
