Chapter 36: The Feeling of Homecoming
The day John arrived home, it was sleet in Washington. The Army commuter plane he was flying on www.biquge.info Andrews Air Force Base (now known as the Kemp-Springs Army Air Force Base, which was renamed the landing ground for the U.S. presidential plane in 1945) for nearly an hour before barely landing. Instead of calling his family to pick him up, John asked the officer on duty at the airport to help him find a seat in the van that was carrying military mail to the General Staff. The kind Army Aviation Major also lent him a dark green military raincoat.
Andrews Air Force Base was only eight kilometers from downtown Washington, and although the roads were slippery and the mail bus was slow, John was back home by 1 p.m. As he walked across the lawn in front of his house, about to take off his wet raincoat on the porch, the door suddenly opened. Adele didn't even wear a coat and rushed out. Ignoring the rain on John's body, she threw herself into his arms and imprinted her warm lips on John's cold cheeks.
"Alright, alright, dear." John understood that Adele must have been waiting for him at the window before she ran out so quickly. He patted his wife on the back lovingly and said, "Come on in, don't catch a cold." ”
Who is honest, John was not only moved, but also taken aback by Adele's "grand courtesy". For a moment now, he even had the illusion that he was a veteran who had been out fighting for many years before returning home, and Adele was a housewife who had been looking forward to being at home. In fact, it had only been a month since John last returned home. John couldn't help but start to worry a little about whether Adele would be able to stand it if he went to the European battlefield in the future.
But soon, he put that little worry behind him. Adele dragged him into the house, helped him take off his raincoat and coat, and served him hot coffee. "Drink some hot first, honey, and lunch will be a little longer." Adele said with some disgust: "You didn't make a phone call before you came back, I thought you wouldn't come back for lunch." ”
John leaned comfortably on the sofa in the living room, the warm room, the soft sofa, the fragrant coffee and the wife snuggled in his arms, and he was so comfortable that he was about to moan out at this moment. He played with his wife's hair with his hand, and couldn't help but peck at her small earlobe: "Isn't this trying to surprise you!" ”
Adele's ears were the most sensitive, and the hot breath from John's nose made her itch and shiver. But at this moment, she was reluctant to leave her husband's arms, and instead arched her head over John's heart. "I thought you'd come back in the evening, a lot of dishes haven't been cooked yet. There's salmon custard in the fridge, do you want to try it first? ”
By this time, John's hands had slipped from his wife's hair to her shoulders and down her delicate collarbone into her corset. "I want to just taste you, darling."
Under John's caresses, Adele has gone limp, and her skin has taken on a charming pink color. "Oh, John, don't be here. Eat, after eating, we go to the bedroom. Adele's watery eyes showed a misty look, and her slightly trembling mouth let out seductive moans and pleading.
After a month in the military academy, John could endure such temptation. He picked up his wife and kissed him as he walked upstairs to the bedroom. Adele's scream of pleasure caused Mary, who was about to come in to inform her that lunch was ready, to turn around and flee back to the kitchen.
After a rainy day, John lay comfortably on the bed. Her head rests on Adele's smooth and elastic thighs, enjoying his wife's careful service. Adele chatted with her husband as she delivered the food to her husband's mouth in small pieces.
Suddenly, Adele exclaimed, "Honey, you have gray hair!" Then, John felt his scalp tighten, and a silver-white hair was handed to him by Adele.
In the end, the years are unforgiving. John also felt some emotion in his heart. After all, he is 37 years old, and he has been using his brain a little too much recently in the military school, and his gray hair has come out. However, John also comforted Adele and said: "What's this, George's hair was all white when he was in his forties." It's too late for me. ”
Adele had only seen John's father, George, in photographs, and had no doubts about his words. However, he still said with concern: "You are not a young man anymore, it is time to pay attention to your body." Look at those injuries on your body, I feel distressed when I see them. ”
The bruises and bruises on John's body were all left from taking conduct classes and practicing basic tactical moves in private, and they looked a little scary but they weren't serious. He said nonchalantly, "What's that?" I'm a professional soldier now, and I don't have any scars on my body. ”
"Besides, I'm not a young man, don't you know?" As he spoke, John grinned and hooked his finger on Adele's chin, "I don't know who it was, I cried just now and scratched my back." ”
"I hate it, it's not a little right." Adele blushed, slapped John's hand, then got up and said, "Eric should be awake soon, I'll go over and take a look, you can eat it yourself." ”
John also sat up, "I'll go with you later." I haven't seen him in a month, and I don't know if the little guy still remembers me. ”
"He's only been four months, it's strange that he can remember you!" Adele took out her pajamas and dressing gown from the closet and began to serve John to get dressed.
"By the way, what time does little Ella come back from kindergarten?" John asked casually.
Adele looked at the clock, "It's still early, it's two hours before Mary picks her up from kindergarten." By the way, did you bring her birthday present back? She was talking to me about this last night. ”
"Bring, bringing. Didn't the little pony I gave her for Christmas the year before last be able to ride, and I prepared a whole set of small hunting outfits and harness for her. Kansas can't pick anything else. Speaking of which, John remembered that little Ella's gifts and a lot of materials he had compiled were still in the box, so don't get wet. Everything is in the box, so we have to take it out quickly, and if it gets wet, Mary will have to take it and dry it first. ”
As he spoke, John was about to go downstairs, but was stopped by Adele. "I'll have to wait until you think about it. I just went downstairs to get food, and I've already told Mary to go and pack your luggage. You're really, how can you forget Ella's birthday this time. You have no idea how sad she was that day. ”
John said in his heart: It's not that you are making trouble as a "wealth boy" everywhere. It took me a lot of effort to get rid of that old bastard Hoover. But now, Adele, the "pure little lamb", doesn't know anything.
John thought about it and decided to talk to Adele now. After all, she often shows up to participate in various social activities now, and if she doesn't give her a wake-up call and help her understand the dangers of the outside world, she doesn't know what kind of basket will be poked out in the future. There are a few sinister guys in Washington who like to use women like Adele who are overflowing with compassion and a strong sense of justice to stir up trouble. John thinks it's better to give Adele the shot early.
