Chapter 22: I don't know this girlfriend well

On the highway, Xue Yan, the co-pilot, had a sad face.

Leng Zixi, who was driving, looked proud.

With her ability to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, Xue Yan is too powerful.

could only compromise and take her home, Leng Zixi was extremely excited.

In the evening, the off-road vehicle passed through the county, and the cement road turned into a dirt road with potholes, but fortunately, the off-road vehicle chassis was high, and it didn't care.

"Why do you live in such a remote area? Why don't you move to the city in a few days, I still have two empty houses, which I use for the occasional lunch break when I go to work, let my aunt go to live as my little gift! ”

A house of 100,000 yuan is said to be given away, and it is worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family.

Leng Zixi said to Xue Yan while carefully controlling the car.

"No, my mom won't agree because we're grave keepers!"

Xue Yan shook his head, this is not only his home, but also a responsibility.

"Grave Keeper!"

Leng Zixi was stunned, didn't this tomb keeper only exist in ancient times.

The car came to an orchard, drove along the path in the middle of the orchard, and three tiled houses appeared in front of him.

This is Xue Yan's home, and Xue Yan couldn't wait to push the car door.

"Mom!"

Seeing his mother walking out, Xue Yan's eyes instantly moistened.

Running a few steps to his mother, who had never seen her since joining the army, except on the phone.

Goodbye today, her temples have turned white, and this excitement made Xue Yan can't help but shed tears.

"Xue Yan, why are you back?"

Tears of excitement also flowed from the corners of her mother's eyes, and she couldn't have imagined that Xue Yan would suddenly go home.

While wiping his tears, he stroked Xue Yan's head, no matter how old his son is, he is also the flesh of his mother's heart.

After crying for a while, the mother and son separated, while Leng Zixi stood not far away with a little nervousness.

"What is this?"

The mother looked at Leng Zixi with a puzzled expression, not understanding who the beautiful girl who came back with her son was.

"Hello Auntie, I'm Xue Yan's girlfriend, my name is Leng Zixi!"

Xue Yan also hesitated, he really couldn't open his mouth to introduce.

Leng Zixi walked over generously and said to Xue Yan's mother cordially.

"Girlfriend? This girl is so beautiful, Xue Yan, you stinky boy are so blessed! ”

Holding Leng Zixi's hand, my mother couldn't believe that Xue Yan, a stinky boy, had brought such a beautiful girlfriend back.

Xue Yan looked at Leng Zixi helplessly, and this girl didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse when she came back.

"Auntie, I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare, these things are a little gift."

Leng Zixi smiled, and the dignity in her bones made her treat people and things very decently.

Let Xue Yan open the trunk, a lot of bottles and cans were temporarily bought at the high-speed service station.

"Come up and sit in the back room, come and come, what kind of gift will you get, this stinky boy doesn't usually bully you."

The mother smiled so happily, as if she was ten years younger, and pulled Leng Zixi away with a look of affection.

"Mom, have you ever thought that your son was being bullied?"

Xue Yan was standing not far away with her things, she hadn't seen her for three years, why did she just talk to Leng Zixi.

"You stinky boy, it's right to be bullied, if he bullies you, you tell me, I'll beat him."

Mother held Leng Zixi's hand and never let go from beginning to end.

Talking and laughing, the three of them finally walked into the room.

Suddenly surprised, the mother was so excited that she didn't know what to do.

When Leng Zixi coped with it easily, that calmness really made Xue Yan admire.

It's just that occasionally she will turn her head and make a grimace at Xue Yan.

The naughty and cute appearance really makes people can't help but take a few more looks.

"How did you meet? Is it in love in the army? How old are you? ”

Xue Yan really couldn't answer his mother's question, because he and this girlfriend were really not familiar.

Fortunately, Leng Zixi answered like a stream, and I didn't expect her to have such a side.

"The two of you sit at home for a while, your Aunt Li's family just killed pigs today, and the pigs in the countryside don't eat feed, so I'll buy two catties."

There was no refrigerator at home, and my mother lived a simple life and did not eat meat once in a few months.

Today, her son came back and brought a new girlfriend, so she naturally had to make a good meal.

Watching his mother walk out of the house, Xue Yan felt a lot of flavor in his heart, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety could not be both, and he owed his mother too much over the years.

"Why are you going?"

Seeing Xue Yan walking towards the back of the room with a hoe, Leng Zixi hurriedly followed and asked.

"Remove the weeds."

When he finally got home, he had to do something.

Leng Zixi wanted to ask again, but when she went around to the back of the room, she couldn't help screaming.

Grabbing Xue Yan's arm, she stared at her with wide eyes, looking at everything in front of her in horror.

Hundreds of tombs are behind Xue Yan's house, and there is no monument, and that feeling is a critical blow to Leng Zixi, who grew up in the city.

"Whose are these?"

Looking at Xue Yan tremblingly, she remembered that Xue Yan had said that their family was a tomb keeper.

"It's a group of unsung heroes, my grandfather's comrades-in-arms!"

Xue Yan said as he began to weed.

As far as the eye can see, there are more than 100 tombs, and there is not a single inscription.

"Then why not erect a monument?"

Leng Zixi didn't dare to move, but she was very curious.

"In those days, many people didn't have names, and even if they did, my grandfather couldn't read, he couldn't write at all, and there were too many people, he couldn't remember, so my grandfather made a decision, including that he and his grandmother would not erect a monument, which was a kind of commemoration for his comrades-in-arms."

When Xue Yan was a child, he often heard his grandfather mention battle stories, and his grandfather participated in the Battle of Guinan.

Just in front of the current county seat, there is a bunker of little devils, stuck in the supply line, and the militia of several nearby villages are connected to the mission, and this bunker must be defeated.

The night of fighting was particularly fierce, and Grandpa, who was only sixteen years old, crawled out of the pile of dead.

The last few alive rushed into the bunker with explosives bags and died with the little devils.

"We've sacrificed so many people here, and the little devils have to die a lot, right?"

After listening to Xue Yan's story, Leng Zixi's gaze became awe-inspiring.

"There is only one squad on the other side, and seven people are guarding a pillbox!" Xue Yan replied.

"Seven people killed more than a hundred? How can it be? ”

Leng Zixi couldn't believe it, how could the battle damage be so high with more than ten times the enemy's strength.

"The little devils are not as easy to fight as in the TV series, they are also a group of guys who are not afraid of death, equipped with heavy machine guns and grenades, and they are stubbornly guarding strong pillboxes, all of which are earthen cannons here, and there are only a few 38 big covers, and most people can only use big knives, which is called being beaten if they are backward."

After joining the army, Xue Yan was very angry about those unrealistic anti-Japanese dramas.

If the little devils were so easy to kill, would so many people still die?

"I really can't imagine what it's like to charge at a machine gun with a broadsword in my hand."

Leng Zixi pursed her lips, she couldn't understand this kind of heroic death.

"Many people say that they are heroes, everyone lying here is also ordinary people, maybe in the eyes of others, heroes are not afraid of death, but who in this world is not afraid, but at the moment of life and death, they chose to fight, not escape."

Xue Yan's words made Leng Zixi's fear less in her heart, although she was still a little unfamiliar, she had already begun to help weed.

"Boss, the son of this family seems to be back, shall we still do it?"

Outside the orchard, a roe deer boy asked in a low voice with a phone in his hand.

"That waste is useless, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, it's useless, if you don't go, Lao Tzu will be replaced!"

There was a reprimand on the phone, and the kid nodded hurriedly and waved his hand at the few drunken guys beside him.
