Wang Kai sat aside and didn't talk, but waited for Yuan Xing to finish speaking, filled him with a glass of wine, then picked up his own wine glass, bumped the glass with Yuan Xing, and drank it all.

Then he said to Yuan Xing: "I can completely understand your feelings, because I used to be the same as you, and my experience is not easier than your current one, but I am cowardly and chose to escape, so I now open this bar here." ”

Taking a puff of cigarette, Wang Kai continued: "But you are different from me, your psychological quality is much better than mine, at least you have not collapsed now, you have not lost your mind, so I admire you." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Kai glanced up at Yuan Xing: "Since you choose to become a soldier, you should be prepared, soldiers are ready to sacrifice for the country and the people at any time, you can't accept this matter in your heart, because those who died are brothers who fought side by side with you." ”

"But have you ever thought about it, if it weren't for their desperate fight, in exchange for the victory of the battle, then more people would have died, and more people would have lost their brothers like you are now, if you were them, what would you choose? Is it an escape? Or do you know it's a dead end, but you have to rush forward? ”

"I understand what you mean, yes, as a soldier, I should have had this consciousness a long time ago, but I was too narrow-minded, always thinking about problems from my own perspective, but ignoring how much they have contributed to the country and the people behind their sacrifices, thank you Akai."

After Wang Kai's words, Yuan Xing figured it out at once, and his thinking also came out of the tip of the bull's horns.

Picking up the wine glass, Yuan Xing said: "Come, I toast you, thank you for waking me up with your words, I think I know what to do." ”

Wang Kai also picked up the wine glass and collided with the glass in Yuan Xing's hand.

"You don't need to thank me, I just said what I had to say and did what I had to do, and you're a lot stronger than I thought you would, you know? How many people are the same as you are now, but in the end they still can't get out of the shadow in their hearts, they have to choose to quit their beloved army, and some people even choose to commit suicide because of too much pressure. ”

When he said these words, a trace of sadness flashed in Wang Kai's eyes, although it was only a flash, but he was still caught by the keen Yuan Xing.

The training base of the Siberian Tiger Special Operations Brigade, in view of the excellent completion of the task by the Sky Wolf Squad this time, the brigade gave them half a month's vacation, one is to go home to see their families.

The other is to dilute the pain of losing comrades, there will inevitably be casualties on the battlefield, but once this kind of casualties appear around you, it is still difficult for everyone to accept.

He has been a soldier for almost three years, from the recruit company to the Red Third Company, and then to the special operations brigade, he has been spending time in intense training and performing tasks, and Zhao Yuan has not returned home once.

Although they are now soldiers, in the eyes of their parents, everyone is a child, not to mention that they are only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the older ones are in their early twenties, and they have been away from home for a year, so it's time to go home and see.

Packing his bags and stepping on the train home, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of thoughts in his heart, he hadn't been home for a year, and he didn't know what was going on at home.

Grandpa's health is not good, and now he is only on medication to stay alive.

And the conditions at home are not good, although they have practiced medicine for generations, but in that remote mountain village, everyone is familiar with it.

So whoever has a headache and brain fever comes to see a doctor, basically a little money is symbolically charged, and sometimes it is not enough to pay for the cost of dispensing.

Therefore, my father would often go up to the mountains to collect some wild medicinal herbs, so that the cost of medicine would be reduced, and he could still earn a little money, barely enough for the family's expenses.

Just in Zhao Yuan's thoughts, the train arrived at the county seat of his hometown.

After getting off the bus, Zhao Yuan ate something nearby, then bought some gifts for his family, and got on a bus to the countryside at the bus station.

Zhao Yuan's home is a mountain village, and there are only about 100 families in the village, but everyone gets along very well, and there is no intrigue among people in the city.

There is no road to open to traffic here, it belongs to the very backward kind, a few years ago just bid farewell to the era of kerosene lamps, the use of electric lights, now the whole village does not even have a telephone, if you want to call, you need to go to the town more than ten miles away.

Such a place is now rare in China, but now the state is also focusing on the development of this area, I believe that it will not take long to change the status quo here.

After getting out of the car and turning over a hill, a small village appeared in front of Zhao Yuan's eyes, looking at everything familiar in front of him, a trace of tears welled up in his eyes, and he walked quickly towards home.

Pushing open the familiar wooden door, I saw my mother washing clothes in the yard, and my father sorting out herbs, and the scenes were so warm in my eyes.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help shouting: "Dad, Mom, I'm back." “

With a bang, this is the sound of the mother knocking over the pot, Zhao Yuan's parents raised their heads together and looked at Zhao Yuan who was standing at the door, looking forward to their son's return day and night, and now that his son is really back, he can't believe his eyes, for fear that these are dreaming.

Zhao Yuan's mother couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, stood up and walked slowly towards Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan stood still and didn't move, he wanted his mother to touch him with his own hands, and in this way he told his mother that he was a real existence and that he was really back.

Zhao's mother walked in front of her son, stretched out her hand to touch her son's face, and muttered, "It's really Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan is back."

"It's me who is back, Mom, the army is on vacation, and I came back to see you."

"Okay, okay, just come back, come into the house with Mom, let Mom take a good look at you." As he spoke, he took Zhao Yuan's hand and walked into the house.

Zhao Yuan's father followed behind, looked at his son, and nodded incessantly, "It's dark, but it's also strong." ”

Come into the house and see your grandfather, who often talks about you, asks when you'll be back, and sometimes reads your name in the middle of the night when he falls asleep.

Zhao Yuan, who returned home, felt that everything was so kind, looking at everything familiar, as if he had returned to before.

Looking at his grandfather lying on the bed, Zhao Yuan felt very uncomfortable, for three years, his grandfather was lying there like this, and he never got up.

I remember that when I was a child, my grandfather loved me very much, and every time I got into trouble, when my father and mother taught me, it was my grandfather who protected him, in his words: "My grandson can't move anyone." “

Zhao Yuan walked to his grandfather's bedside: "Grandpa, I'm coming back to see you, are you okay!" I've been missing you all these years. “

Grandpa lay on the bed, stretched out his dry hand to caress Zhao Yuan's face, and said with a very relieved look: "Grandpa is very good, he eats and sleeps well." But you have suffered a lot in the army! ”
