Wang Yingxiang gave birth to her first child in the days she was left behind.

When Liu Kehao appeared in front of her bed, she glanced at her son next to her, and then at Liu Kehao, and suddenly two lines of tears rolled out of the corners of her eyes, and before Liu Kehao could speak, she said: Kehao, my task is complete. I'm going to the Korean front.

Liu Kehao didn't seem to hear her words, picked up his newborn son, circled around the ward, and muttered: I have a son, and I will be a warrior again in twenty years.

Then, he turned his head and said to Wang Yingxiang: It's time to name the child.

Wang Yingxiang looked at her sleeping son and said: You don't need to get up, I have already thought about it, so I will call Liu Liu.

Liu Kehao looked at her in surprise.

Don't look at me like that. This name is a memorial to my stay.

Okay, if you listen to you, your name is Liu Liu. Liu Kehao grinned and put his son back to hers.

Wang Yingxiang stared at Liu Kehao and said word by word: The child was born, and my task was completed. Now I'm going to North Korea.

As long as the leader agrees, I will never stop you. I brought this kid with me. Liu Kehao did what he said, he picked up his son again and put his face on the baby's delicate little face.

This period of left-behind days is really unforgettable for Wang Yingxiang. The camp is still the same camp, but it has lost the liveliness and vitality of the past. She insisted on coming to the detention center every day, saying that it was a detention center, that is, an empty office, and several local soldiers were taking turns at the gate of the courtyard. She spends most of her time standing in front of the window, staring blankly at the camp. The playground was empty, the barracks were empty, and a flock of sparrows landed comfortably on the playground, crying out with boldness. Her heart, like the entire barracks, was empty.

On the wall of the detention center, a map of North Korea was hung, and the 3,000-mile rivers and mountains were in full view, and she also pasted many small red flags on it. Through newspapers and internal reports of the troops, she kept abreast of the movements of her troops, and then she was like a commander, pasting the corresponding red flags according to the location of the troops. Then, for a long time, he stood in front of the map, imagining the battlefield in the smoke of gunfire.

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and then she had to hold it with her hands when she went upstairs and downstairs. She often muttered to herself, "Son, come out quickly." When you come out, your mother will be liberated, and you can go to North Korea to fight and defend your family and country.

Son Liu Liu was finally born in her thousand calls. With the first loud cry after the birth of her son, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Her son is getting older day by day, and her dream of going to the DPRK is growing day by day. Just as she was confidently striving to go to North Korea, she received news that the first batch of troops to go to Korea had returned to China to recuperate. The second group of troops participating in the battle crossed the Yalu River majestically, the second battle has ended, and the third battle has begun.

The returning troops quietly returned to the camp in the dead of night. From her momentum, she felt that the whole army was less than half of the people, and she held a bunch of keys to open the door for each squad. When it was her turn to work, she shouted for a long time, and no one came to pick up the key. When she shouted again, someone in the team replied: There is no one in class 5. In some classes, there was even only one soldier left, and he silently walked over and took the key she handed over.

She looked at everything in front of her, her lips trembling, tears in the corners of her eyes, and she didn't fall for a long time. Suddenly, she ran like crazy to the military hospital, where the paramedics were busy placing the wounded. She found the political commissar of the hospital, pulled him over, and accused: Political commissar, you did not complete the task well.

The commissar looked at her in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

Your hospital did not rescue our wounded, where is this army, it is clear that there is not even a division.

The political commissar's eyes are red, don't look over: Dean, we did our best, except for those who sacrificed, we brought back the wounded.

She walked up to a wounded person, carefully identified, she recognized the fifth company commander, hurriedly took his hand, and said in a choked voice: Fifth company commander, my Wang Yingxiang salutes you.

The fifth company commander's eyes were wrapped in bandages, and he trembled and stretched out his hand into the air: Dean, our fifth company is not ashamed, inserted behind enemy lines, three in and three out. We came back, but many never came back.

She hugged the fifth company commander in her arms and comforted: Fifth company commander, don't be sad, when the troops are finished, I will go to North Korea with you, and we will kill them back.

Although she had not experienced that war, she felt the cruelty of this war when she saw the damaged troops in front of her.

She returned home with a tragic mood, since the birth of her son, she hired a nanny, and completely handed over the child to the nanny and Liu Kehao. When she heard the news that the troops were going to return to China to rest and recuperate, she stayed in the barracks day and night, first organizing the soldiers who stayed behind to clean up the barracks and soldiers' dormitories, and then pulled up a bright banner at the gate of the barracks, which read: Warmly welcome comrades-in-arms to return to China.

She was so busy that she didn't step into the house for more than ten days. That night, she finally went home.

Liu Kehao saw her coming back in a hurry, and said with some surprise: It's so late, are you still coming back?

She sat on the chair in front of Liu Kehao and said with a cold expression: Liu Kehao, I want to talk to you about something.

Liu Kehao put down the newspaper in his hand and stared at her: Let's talk, I'll listen.

She said firmly: I am going to North Korea.

Liu Kehao asked with a puzzled face: Haven't your troops returned to China?

It's a break. After resting, I still have to go back to North Korea.

Whether you go to North Korea or not, this is your leader's business, what do you want me to talk about?

You'll have to write me a letter of guarantee. After speaking, she took a pen and paper from the table and put it in front of Liu Kehao.

Liu Kehao hesitated and asked: Write now?

Write now. She couldn't wait.

Liu Kehao held the pen and asked: What to write?

You just write that you will never drag me down, the children will be taken care of by you and the nanny, and you will support me to go to the front.

Liu Kehao followed Wang Yingxiang's meaning and quickly finished writing the guarantee.

Wang Yingxiang took the guarantee in her hand, read it up and down several times, and felt that it was foolproof, so she put the guarantee book in hand.

When she slept, she lay next to Liu Kehao, but she didn't feel sleepy. She looked at the darkness and said to herself: the army went abroad as an army, and now there is less than a division left.

If you fight, you have to shed blood and die. Liu Kehao muttered.

It makes me sad to see so many people shed blood and sacrifice. Wang Yingxiang choked up.

Liu Kehao, who was in the dark, didn't speak, just let out a sigh.

After a while, she said fiercely: I will no longer be a left-behind person, I must go to North Korea.

Liu Kehao knows Wang Yingxiang too well, since the day the two met, he knew that she was not a peaceful person, and it was useless to say anything to her at this time, so he could only follow her. Thinking of this, he turned his body around, looked at her with his eyes and said: Didn't I write you a letter of guarantee, and the child and I will never hold you back. Rest assured.

Liu Kehao's words were like a sleeping pill, and soon she quieted down.

Just when she seemed to be about to fall asleep, a spirit, she woke up again. Did she stab Liu Kehao and Ma Tiancheng next to her?

Liu Kehao didn't sleep at all, he replied: Ma Tiancheng is an old fox, and he hasn't shown his head yet, but don't worry, he can't run.

The next day, when Wang Yingxiang arrived at the barracks, he hurriedly went to find the military commander.

After experiencing the two battles of the Korean War, the army commander seemed to be more calm, and the wind and frost on his face seemed to be thicker. When the army commander saw Wang Yingxiang, his eyes lit up, he looked her up and down, and without waiting for her to speak, he praised her: You did a good job in the left-behind office, and the task of giving birth to a child was completed?

Wang Yingxiang patted his deflated lower abdomen and said: Report to the army commander, Wang Yingxiang has completed the task.

The commander smiled and said, "Okay, you have given birth to a good soldier for the troops."

As soon as the commander's words were finished, she couldn't wait to ask: Commander, when will our troops go to North Korea?

I'm waiting for instructions from my superiors!

At this time, Wang Yingxiang took out Liu Kehao's guarantee, slapped it heavily in front of the army commander, and then said: I have finished giving birth to the child, and the task has been completed, next time you have no reason not to let me go out with the army, right?

The army commander glanced at the guarantee on the table, and then at Wang Yingxiang: Liu Kehao hasn't seen him for a long time, what is he busy with?

Wang Yingxiang hurriedly said: He was busy catching spies.

When the commander heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, okay." We fight in the front, and he stabilizes in the rear. You tell him, when I go to your house to have two drinks and talk to him, I really miss him.

The troops were busy after returning home. In order to replenish the supply of troops, the troops began to recruit as soon as they returned home. As a result, batch after batch of recruits were sent to the barracks. The empty barracks were lively again. On the playground, the shouting and killing during training was higher and higher.

Wang Yingxiang went back to work in the military hospital. Although she was in the hospital, as long as she could be with the soldiers, she felt grounded and satisfied. Her face was full of smiles again, and she seemed much younger.

In the busy and fulfilling days, Liu Liu grew up day by day. Because the troops were stationed in the suburbs, Wang Yingxiang could only come back once a day and a half a month. Every time she returned home, she was delighted to find that her child was growing up, but soon, looking at her son who was changing day by day, her heart became heavy again.

Suddenly, one day, when she picked up the child from the nanny's arms, the child smiled at her and babbled out a sound similar to "Mommy".

She shouted in surprise: Kehao, he called me Mommy.

Although the voice of "Mom" was so vague, she still felt a strong maternal love, which was rushing out of her heart. She hugged Liu Liu tightly in her arms, put her face on the child's little face, and tears quietly rolled down again.

In the future, as soon as she comes home, the child's affairs will no longer be interfered with by the nanny, even when sleeping, the child will be placed between the two adults.

She looked at the sleeping child and couldn't help muttering: If only I were a man, there wouldn't be so many worries.

When are the troops leaving? Liu Kehao looked at her and the children around her and asked.

She shook her head: I don't know yet, I heard the commander say it's soon.

One day not long after Liu Liu shouted the first "Mom", the resting troops received an order. Once again, they will go to the front.

Before leaving, Wang Yingxiang came back. She hugged the child hard, then gave him to the nanny. The child likes to be hugged like this, he raised his little hand and smiled. When she turned her head, Liu Kehao saw the tears in her eyes.

Just when Liu Kehao sent her out, the child clearly called out "Mom" again.

She turned her head and strode out.

A jeep was parked at the door. Before getting into the car, she stood on her feet, looked at Liu Kehao and said: I owe you and the child this time, and when I come back, I will repay it twice.

Liu Kehao smiled and pretended to be relaxed and said: What is not returned. You're a soldier, I know.

Just as she opened the car door and was about to get in, her hand stopped. She turned around, suddenly hugged Liu Kehao, and then whispered in his ear: Kehao, I have never married the wrong person in my life. I love you!

After saying that, he got into the car without looking back.

The jeep drove away in a puff of smoke.

Liu Kehao stood there in a daze, this was the first time he was hugged by her, and it was also the first time he heard the phrase "I love you" from her mouth.

The jeep disappeared and he realized that his face was hot and damp.
