Early in the morning, Yifei's father came to Liang Qing's house.

"Lao Liang, what are you busy with?" Yifei's father shouted outside the door.

"Oh, Brother Shen, come in, isn't this kid going to leave tomorrow. I'll pack up and see what else I need to bring, are you all ready for the kids? Liang Qing's father opened the door and smiled and went into the house.

"I don't think there's anything to prepare, then again, even if we prepare, we won't necessarily be able to use it in the army, so it's better not to bother with that, we bought some snacks for the children to eat on the road, listening to Comrade Xue, it will take several days to walk on the road, and it doesn't seem to be close." Yifei's father looked at the busy old Liang and dissuaded.

Lao Liang stopped, shook his head and smiled: "What you said is also true, if you want to say bring it, I think you should bring everything, but how can the child take it, turn it over and turn it upside down, and it will be a clean toss in the morning, but what you said is right, I will also buy some snacks for the child in a while, and I can relieve boredom on the way." ”

Yifei's father waved his hand: "No need, I'm here to tell you, we are all ready, enough for two children to eat, don't run away, in addition, I told my brother who works in the restaurant, let him fry a few dishes for us at noon today, and we will go together, which can be regarded as practicing for our children, you prepare it for a while, and I will call you then." ”

Lao Liang shook his head gratefully: "Brother Shen, we Qingqing have caused trouble for you and your sister-in-law over the years, and we will let you and your sister-in-law ......... when we are leaving." ”

Before he finished speaking, Yifei's father interrupted Lao Liang's words: "So you will see the outside, how many years of old neighbors, we all grew up watching Qingqing, this child is really likeable, we are still jealous that you have such a good daughter." ”

When the two families returned from the restaurant, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Liang Qing barely ate and spoke very little, as if he had something on his mind. But he didn't care about it, and he could see that he was very excited.

On the way back, Liang Qing suddenly grabbed Yi Fei's hand, stared at Yi Fei's eyes and asked, "Yi Fei, do you really want to go?" ”

"You really want to go, don't you want to go too? Do you want to be a PLA soldier too? Yifei looked at Liang Qing with some surprise.

"I don't want to go right now." After Liang Qing finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward quickly.

Yifei chased after him: "Don't go, it's so boring for me to go alone, I don't know anyone, don't be afraid, I'll protect you and take care of you when the time comes, okay?" ”

"Whoever takes care of you doesn't need your protection." Liang Qing didn't look at it.

"Then you promised to go? Great, will you take care of me in the future? "I'm not happy and don't know what to say.

Liang Qing turned around, pointed at Yifei's nose and said, "You heard me clearly, I don't want to go, I didn't promise anything!" ”

Liang Qing is depressed these days, Lao Liang sees it in his eyes, and his heart is also very uncomfortable, sometimes he thinks, is he too ruthless, the child is so young to let her travel away from home, if her mother is still alive, how good it would be, Qingqing will be like other children, snuggled up to her mother every day, happy, but what she can give the child now is really limited, he hopes that the child can have a good future, he hopes that the child can have a bright future in the army.

When he got home, Liang Qing's father deliberately had nothing to say to his daughter, wanting to make his daughter happy, Liang Qing was still absent-minded, helpless, Lao Liang took his daughter into his arms, as if talking to himself, and seemed to say to Liang Qing: "Good boy, you will understand Dad's hard work in the future, and Dad doesn't want you to leave home and go so far away, but Dad hopes that you will have a future and will live happier than Dad, which is also your mother's hope." ”

Liang Qing still didn't speak, but he turned around and hugged his father's neck tightly.

Lao Liang felt the child sobbing.

At night, Lao Liang put all the things that the child needs to use on the road, put it in a small backpack, and was about to settle the child to rest early, at this time, Liang Qing walked in with a large basin of hot water, Lao Liang didn't understand, Liang Qing put down the basin and came over and pulled him to a chair.

"Dad, I'm leaving tomorrow, let me wash your feet today", as he spoke, Liang Qing couldn't tell the difference, and began to take off Lao Liang's shoes and socks.

Lao Liang reacted at this time, and quickly grabbed his daughter's hands and said, "Good boy, get up quickly, Dad can do it himself, you just bring the water, you go to bed quickly." ”

Liang Qing stubbornly shook off his hands, put her feet in the basin, and gently scrubbed them with a towel.

Lao Liang felt a warm current in his heart, his eyes were a little moist, and he looked at his daughter silently.

"Dad, I remember that when I was a child, you often washed my feet like this, let me wash you once today, and when I come back from joining the army, I will wash your feet every day." Liang Qing lowered his head and said.

Lao Liang's tears flowed out, and he didn't want the child to see it, so he quickly wiped it with his hands.

The hands that were washing their feet paused, and Liang Qing felt his father's heart.

"Dad, can you still tell those uncles not to go?" Liang Qing lowered his head and asked softly with a little choked up.

"Alas......" Lao Liang didn't speak, let out a long breath, leaned over, and caressed his daughter's cheek.
