The military map we brought back from the West Bank is a treasure to the military headquarters, and with such accurate marking of military targets, it will be of great help to future offensive deployments.

With the merit, the commendation order naturally followed, and all those who participated in the West Bank reconnaissance mission were rewarded.

The pension for the dead was thickened, and the reward for the promotion of the living was different. As the architect and executor of this reconnaissance operation, and also the commander of this operation, I deserved the greatest credit, and I was promoted to one rank, and I regained my rank of major and resumed the rank of battalion commander.

As a result, I also had a three-day vacation, so I could really go home for a reunion, and I rode my bicycle back to Linmeng with Tan Weimin.

I went to my father's house first, but the gate was locked and the courtyard was empty. I had no choice but to turn around and catch up with Tan Weimin, who was on foot, and go to Tan's house first.

An Xixin squatted in the yard and the big dog named Black Tiger was talking, the big dog looked at An Xixin silently, An Xixin said that it was lively and noisy, children of this age are the most talkative age, and he now lacks a playmate of the same age.

"Wash your heart!" I couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between them and the dog.

"Daddy!" An Xixin looked up and saw that it was me, and immediately pounced happily with her little hands open.

I reached out and picked him up, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about with Wash Heart and Black Tiger?" ”

An Xi thought for a while and said, "I told the black tiger, don't scream randomly, if you scream again, if you make a noise to grandpa, grandpa's illness will heal slowly." ”

I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa is back?" ”

Tan Qinrou heard the movement outside, came out of the living room, and saw me and Tan Weimin coming back, her tears were about to fall, and she shouted: "Brother, Sihu!" ”

She rushed over and hugged me and cried with joy, whimpering and said: "You are finally back, I have to worry about death, my mother and I are burning incense and making wishes to the Buddha every day, bless you with safety!" ”

I looked at Tan Qinrou with pity, but I hadn't seen her for a few days, and Tan Qinrou's whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight. People think about people and want to die. The real longing and remembering is indeed not an ordinary torment.

Tan Weimin said on the side: "No wonder it is said that the girl who marries out spills the water!" Miss Tan, didn't you see your brother when you only saw your husband? ”

Tan Qinrou nestled on my chest and shouted, "Didn't I call you just now?" Why do you still talk about me! ”

Tan Weimin joked: "Oh, call my brother, even if you say hello?" If you look at it this way, you are really my own sister Tan Qinrou, that's right! ”

I didn't want to listen to his brother and sister arguing, I asked Tan Qinrou and said, "I heard from Xixin that my father is back?"

Tan Qinrou suddenly remembered and said, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot to tell you that my father was put back on the day you left." My father went to the military headquarters to find Junzuo, saying that the soldiers went to the West Bank to fight bloody battles, how could they continue to detain the innocent family members of the soldiers? Under the mediation of Junzuo, the military commander released the people back in advance. However, it may have been frightened, and when I came back, my father became ill, so I took my father to the house so that it was convenient to take care of him. ”

After listening to what Tan Qinrou said, I said, "Go, take me to see my father." ”

When I went to the room that Tan's family had prepared for my father, I saw my father lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, and a maid next to him to accompany him.

I sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Dad, I'm back." How are you? Feeling better? ”

My father opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw that it was me, he tried to sit up, and I hurried over to help him, and half-lay him on the head of the bed, and put a pillow under him so that he could lean on.

My father let out a long sigh and said, "It's good to come back." I heard Qin Rou say that you are busy with military affairs, and you will come back to see me when you are free. Finally, before I died, you knew that it was not easy to come back and look at me, it was not easy. ”

I knew that he was complaining that I only came back to see him today, and Qin Rou was probably afraid that he would worry, so she didn't tell him about my crossing of the river.

I didn't explain to him, I just comforted him and said, "Dad, you see that your thinking logic is so clear, why is it before you die, you can live for another thirty or twenty years." ”

My father felt a sense of substitution in my good wishes, and he fell into a reverie, imagining what it would be like for him to live to be twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years later.

My father said, "You don't have to coax me, I know what my body and bones look like, I'm afraid I won't know what to do now." ”

He kept saying something frustrating around me, which made me a little angry, and I stood up and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" is a little sick, how can he be so hypocritical like a child, endlessly talking about life and death. ”

Coming out of my father's room, Tan Qinrou said, "Why are you still angry with your father? He's sick and inevitably in a bad mood, you shouldn't be like that. ”

I said, "You don't know my father, he was like this when I was a child, he was a little sick and a little disaster can haunt the dead, and at that time he haunted my mother." Now that my mother is gone, she is pestering me! ”

Tan Qinrou said: "Even then, don't make him angry, he pesters you, which means that he needs you." ”

I looked at my wife and said with a smile: "I really can't imagine that Miss Tan, who is married, has really become a different person!" It seems that I still have a lot of credit. ”

Tan Qinrou glanced at me and said, "Your father has not been in a good state for the past two days, and Lang Zhong, the best in Linmeng, also saw it, but said that he was frightened and contracted with wind and cold, and he was prescribed some decoction, and he didn't get better after drinking it for a few days." ”

I thought for a while and said, "I'm going to invite the military medical officer of our regiment, he is a doctor who has stayed abroad, and it is not the same way to treat the disease among us Tulang, so inviting him may have an effect." ”

Tan Qinrou said: "Then I can use you to run again...... Guifu! ”

Guifu ran over and said, "Miss, uncle, what do you command?" ”

I said, "Guifu, you are tired to go to see the Longwan New 200 Regiment, find Dr. Shangguan Yusi, and say that I will ask him to see my father's illness and let him come for a free trip." ”

Guifu said: "Uncle, look at what you said, what kind of burden is this, I will go immediately." ”

Tan Qinrou stopped him and said, "Guifu, drive my father's car, go early and return early." ”

Guifu said, "Yes, Miss! ”

It didn't take an hour for the four-wheeled car to go back and forth, and Shangguan Yusi followed Guifu to Tan's house.

I said, "Doctor Shangguan, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

Shangguan Yusi waved his hand and said, "Camp Commander An, let's not be polite." Where's Uncle Ann? Take me there. ”

I took Shangguan Yusi to my father's room, and I said to my father, who was lying on the bed and was drowsy, "Dad, I have invited the Shangguan doctor of our regiment to take a look at your illness. ”

My father nodded with half-open eyes and smiled appreciatively at Shangguan Yusi.

Shangguan Yusi took out a stethoscope, and after carefully examining my father, he frowned and dragged me out of the room.

Shangguan Yusi said: "Camp Chief An, I don't think Uncle An's illness is very good. ”
