"Brother Duan, why has the Vulture Brigade changed so much? There are so many people I don't know. Have you been leveled up for a long time? As if your years are not enough, right? After the two of them hugged each other, Xie Xiaoshuai asked the doubts in his heart.

"Haha, you don't know yet. Our Condor Brigade has now been upgraded to the Condor Special Operations Brigade. Brother Duan smiled happily and pointed to the rank on his collar: "Moreover, all of our brigade has been promoted by one level, so I am now a deputy regiment-level cadre." By the way, brother, I would like to congratulate you on successfully completing the task, you kid is really powerful now, and there are elite soldiers under your hands. Yes, brother, I am optimistic about you. ”

"Okay, Brother Duan, if you praise me again, I'm going to be proud. Without your teachings, I wouldn't be where I am today. "Xie Xiaoshuai arrived very casually.

"Well, don't talk about this, your father is resting today and staying at home with his sister-in-law. Go back quickly, my sister-in-law hasn't seen you for more than a year, I miss you very much, every time I go to your house for dinner, my sister-in-law has to mention you. Hurry up and surprise her, I'll arrange a few of them. ”

After Brother Duan finished speaking, he took the other members of Shahu to the guest house to rest, and after Xie Xiaoshuai handed over the equipment and bags to others, he set foot on the way home.

I haven't seen my mother for more than a year, Xie Xiaoshuai's mood is a little excited at this moment, and he has been thinking about his mother's appearance in his mind, and he doesn't know if there has been any change.

"Knock knock."

Xie Xiaoshuai nervously knocked on his door, the guard opened the door, and saw Xie Xiaoshuai standing outside the door ready to shout to the house, Xie Xiaoshuai made a "shhhh

Xie Pingyang was watching TV with his back to the door, Xie Xiaoshuai didn't say hello to him, and walked straight into the kitchen, according to the previous practice, his mother should be preparing lunch at this time.

Xie Xiaoshuai walked outside the kitchen door, looking at the familiar back of his mother Sun Houqun was busy, his nose was sour, and tears flowed out.

"Mom." Xie Xiaoshuai held back for a long time, and without the previous flamboyant tongue, he shouted these two words.

When Sun Houqun heard this call, his busy figure stopped trembling. Throwing away the things in his hand, he turned around and saw his son standing in front of him, tears streaming down his face.

"Xiaoshuai, you're back." Sun Houqun stepped forward excitedly, stretched out his hand to touch Xie Xiaoshuai's face, and didn't care that his hands were not washed.

Xie Xiaoshuai didn't care, the longing for his mother for more than a year completely exploded at this moment, he hugged his mother in his arms, and tears flowed out: "Mom, I'm back, I want to kill you." ”

"My good son, I miss you so much, my mother thinks about you all the time, and I look forward to seeing you every day. Come, let mom take a good look at you. Sun Houqun pushed Xie Xiaoshuai away, touched Xie Xiaoshuai's face with both hands, and said distressedly: "It's dark, I've lost weight, and I've suffered a lot, right?" ”

"No, I eat well, sleep well, and have a group of good brothers who take good care of me, so I'm doing well." Of course, Xie Xiaoshuai won't tell his mother about the bad side.

"Okay, are you mother and son finished? The contents of the pot are all mushy. Xie Pingyang knew about his son's return and there were no surprises.

As soon as Sun Houqun, who was still gentle and kind just now, heard Xie Pingyang's words, he immediately changed his appearance, crossed his hands on his hips, and yelled like a Hedong lion: "You have the ability to cook by yourself, the old lady finally saw her son, what's wrong with talking?" ”

Xie Pingyang is usually majestic in front of his subordinates, but under the roar of a Hedong lion from his wife, he hurriedly shut up and continued to watch his TV.

Looking at this familiar scene, Xie Xiaoshuai felt very warm, this is what it feels like to be at home.

"Morli, old melon baby, come, tell my mother how you have spent more than a year." After Sun Houqun finished yelling, his face changed, and he looked like a mother again, and talked to Xie Xiaoshuai.

Xie Xiaoshuai just wanted to speak, but when he smelled the increasingly heavy smell of burnt paste in the pot, he couldn't help but remind his mother: "I'll talk about it slowly, Mom, you better deal with the things in the pot first." ”

"Okay, you go sit for a while, watch TV, Mom, I'll make you your favorite beef."

Xie Xiaoshuai walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at Xie Pingyang. Pingyang's collar was wearing the rank of colonel at this time, and his expressionless face was even more majestic. However, this basically didn't touch Xie Xiaoshuai, according to his father's ability, it was a matter of time before he was promoted to this position.

"Coming back?" Xie Pingyang continued to watch his TV, without turning his head to ask Xie Xiaoshuai.

"Hmm." Xie Xiaoshuai's response was simple.

"Mission accomplished?"

"Yes."

The way the father and son communicate is really peculiar enough, just ask and answer, there is no superfluous word, and after finishing speaking, the father and son fell into silence again, and each watched TV.

After sitting for a while, Xie Xiaoshuai was really not interested in the programs on TV, got up and went back to his bedroom to get ready to sleep. Accustomed to sleeping on the hard bed of the army, and then sleeping on his own soft little bed, Xie Xiaoshuai was really a little uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply pillowed his head with his hands and closed his eyes.

It didn't take long for Sun Houqun to call Xie Xiaoshuai to dinner. During the banquet, Sun Houqun vigorously put vegetables into Xie Xiaoshuai's bowl, and Xie Xiaoshuai told various interesting things in the sand fox team, which made Sun Houqun very happy.

At this time, Sun Houqun finally noticed Xie Xiaoshuai's military rank: "I didn't expect my son to be so powerful, he is only twenty this year, and he is a lieutenant." ”

Xie Pingyang said something on the side: "When Lao Tzu was twenty, he was the captain and company commander, why didn't you praise me for being amazing?" ”

"What's the matter with your old melon baby? Eat your meals. Xie Pingyang got a roar of a Hedong lion, and quickly shut up and continued to eat.

After eating, Sun Houqun pulled Xie Xiaoshuai to chat in the living room, Xie Pingyang, the old man, was actually driven to wash the dishes by Sun Houqiong, who has always been virtuous, and said from time to time that he couldn't wash it cleanly.

Xie Pingyang directly threw the matter to the guards, and made an excuse to say that there was something wrong with the unit, so he quickly slipped away.

Xie Xiaoshuai chatted with Sun Houqun for a while, and then went out shopping with his mother and worked as a porter for his mother. In this regard, Xie Xiaoshuai, who had never gone shopping with his mother before, had no complaints, if he hadn't been a soldier, he would have run away long ago.

Sun Houqun bought a lot of things, what snacks and clothes were for Xie Xiaoshuai, these things were Xie Xiaoshuai's favorite before. However, the current Xie Xiaoshuai doesn't need these at all, but he didn't refuse his mother's kindness. Anyway, this is also a piece of my mother's heart.

After dinner in the evening, Xie Xiaoshuai said goodbye to his reluctant mother and returned to the residence of the sand fox team. After more than a year of military life, Xie Xiaoshuai was very uncomfortable with the previous bed, and he was afraid that his back would hurt when he slept in a sleep.

Although he was not in his own unit and no one was in charge, the members of the sand fox were very conscious, and they all chatted in the dormitory after eating, Xie Xiaoshuai contributed all the snacks and fruits that his mother bought during the day, and asked the brothers to share.

The few people who hadn't eaten a snack in a long time were very happy and shouted, "Long live the captain." began to snatch it up frantically, and the brothers and sisters who usually have a very iron relationship will not let anyone at this time, and the dormitory of the sand fox is a sea of joy at this time.

Looking at this scene that should have been happy, Xie Xiaoshuai couldn't be happy, his heart had been troubled by the matter of Li Gang and Cauliflower Snake, and it was time to find a time to talk to them.
