After Peng Fei and the four of them finished training, they first went back to the dormitory to rest for a while, and then ran out again, preparing to carry out a collective project - armed 5 kilometers.

When the last recruit, panting, ran back to the barracks, an army-green jeep followed. After the car is stopped, two people get out of the back seat. One of them, Peng Fei, didn't know, and the other was Guo Junpeng.

"Pirates, look, Guo Junpeng is back." Liu Liu said softly to Peng Fei.

"Well, I see, he should have come to pack his things."

At noon, Peng Fei and the others had just finished eating and were about to go back to the dormitory under the leadership of Team Leader Xia. Suddenly, Company Commander Pei called them to stop, holding a bowl of shredded meat noodles in his hand, and there was an egg lying in it. "This is your Ban Guo Junpeng's sick meal, take him back to the dormitory."

Squad leader Xia took it over and took Peng Fei and them back to the dormitory. As soon as I pushed the door, I saw that the instructor was talking to Guo Junpeng. Seeing Peng Fei and them coming in, the instructor got up and patted Guo Junpeng on the shoulder, and then walked out.

While putting the noodles on the table, squad leader Xia beckoned to Guo Junpeng: "Come and eat noodles, otherwise it's time to mess up." ”

Guo Junpeng took the bowl and ate it silently. At this time, Peng Fei and the others also knew that Guo Junpeng's heart should be uncomfortable, but they didn't know how to persuade him. So just like that, everyone sat down and watched him eat noodles.

After a while, Guo Junpeng raised his head, "Why are you all looking at me like this, as if I ate a severed head meal." It's okay, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. ”

"It's good if it doesn't hurt, you can eat it quickly." Peng Fei said and yawned, "I'm a little sleepy, let's go squint for a while." ”

"I'm going to squint for a while, too."

"I need to go to the toilet first."

After a while, Peng Fei and the others all went to their own jobs, and everyone avoided that topic intentionally or unintentionally. But this matter is not something that can be avoided, but must be faced.

When Peng Fei and the others returned to the dormitory in the evening, Guo Junpeng gave each of them a note, "I'm leaving tomorrow, this is my home's address, zip code, and phone number." If you're not busy, you can write me a letter, or give me a phone call...... Well, when the chestnuts are ripe, I'll send them to you. ”

Team Leader Xia and Zhou Changzhi each opened the door with a cigarette in their mouths and went out, deliberately leaving the entire dormitory to Peng Fei and them.

"You must remember to send it to us, I like chestnuts the most."

"Don't worry, I'll remember."

"In the future, when we visit our home, we will take the time to go to Chengde to play, you have to control it."

"Don't worry, I will not only control it, but also take care of the food, and by the way, I will also be a tour guide for you."

“……”

Peng Fei and the others began to chat with Guo Junpeng without a word. During the chat, Peng Fei learned that Guo Junpeng was not born by his parents, but a child adopted by his parents. Because his parents have not had children for 5 years after marriage, at that time, they didn't know how to go to the hospital for a check-up or anything. So I thought, just adopt a child from someone else's family.

And Guo Junpeng's biological parents have three children, two boys and one girl, and Guo Junpeng is the second. Because his family is not good, his biological parents have been thinking about sending a child to others for adoption. As the saying goes: the big one, the delicate old, beaten and scolded in the middle waist. At this time, Guo Junpeng, as the second child, became the best candidate. So, under the guidance of an intermediary, his biological parents gave him away, and at that time, Guo Junpeng was already two years old.

Because of this, he has always held a grudge against his biological parents. So, although he knew where his biological parents' home was, and the distance was not far, he never refused to go. But thankfully, the adoptive parents here treated him well and never treated him badly. So he was at ease and lived with his adoptive parents.

But on the day he left for the army, his adoptive parents put him on the train. Suddenly, through the car window, he saw the figure of his biological parents on the periphery of the crowd who came to see him off. Maybe they felt guilty, or maybe they were afraid of being disgusted by their son, so they just stood far away from the platform and looked this way silently. It wasn't until the train started that he wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand and turned to leave.

At that time, he felt a sour feeling in his heart. He suddenly understood that in fact, his biological parents had been thinking about him all along. As for when he was a child, he gave himself to others for adoption, perhaps he was really forced to do so. So the trace of resentment in his heart was instantly resolved. Perhaps, there has never been a real grudge. Originally, he planned to do a good job in the army, and when the time came, he would take the opportunity to see his biological parents when he visited his family, so that he could show off in front of his brothers and sisters. I didn't expect it......

"Alright, don't be upset......"

"Sad? I'm not upset. Guo Junpeng glanced at Peng Fei, "It's too late to be happy now, why should I be sad." I finally don't have to spend my days on the training ground, like a mud monkey; When I came back at night, I was tired and half dead, and I had to carry a basin to wash my clothes; If you want to smoke a cigarette during the break, you have to sneak around, for fear of being seen by the veterans; Lying on the ground to practice shooting, my stomach was cold and gurgling. When I got home, I went to our house every day. I put the cigarette to the side again, and I smoked one cigarette after another. When the clothes were dirty, I took them off and asked my mother to wash them. If you want to eat, tell my dad and ask my dad to buy me ......" As he spoke, Guo Junpeng's eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little choked, so he couldn't continue.

And a few soldiers with shallow eye sockets could no longer control their tears, and their faces were all over the place. Although Peng Fei also felt a little sour in his heart, he was not so bitter that he would cry. Besides, the comrades-in-arms just went home, not to die, so what is there to cry about. Although there are some feelings in the past two months, it is a big deal to miss him, and it will be over with a phone call or a letter.

Seeing He Bei and the other soldier sobbing uncontrollably, Peng Fei hurriedly took out a roll of toilet paper, tore a few and handed them to them. And Liu Liu also threw two towels and handed them over. This evening, the second shift was spent in this atmosphere.

The next morning, Peng Fei and the others were training on the playground. Suddenly, the summer squad leader ordered next to him: "Stop training!" Gather! ”

After the assembly was completed, Peng Fei used the corner of his eye to look in the direction where Team Leader Xia turned his head, and saw Guo Junpeng walking towards this side. He gave the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and his recruit comrades the last military salute.

After returning the salute, the summer squad leader stepped forward to help him straighten his clothes, "After I go back, I will honor my parents well, whether it is to give birth to you and raise you, it is not easy." When you're fine, remember to write us a letter. ”

Guo Junpeng nodded heavily.

In the end, the squad leader and deputy squad leader were left and right, and Peng Fei followed behind, all the way to the gate of the barracks. At the gate stood the company commander and Guo Junpeng's adoptive parents. Peng Fei and the others stopped, looked at Guo Junpeng and his adoptive parents, got into a jeep that had already stopped at the door, and left!
