The little girl laughed sweetly, "The teacher said that Uncle PLA will not deceive people, so what you said must be true, but I miss my father so much." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Meng Chuan looked at the little girl with sadness in her smile, and knew how much she missed her father, "Little sister, maybe your father will come back soon, as long as you wait patiently, you will definitely be able to wait." ”

The little girl nodded vigorously, "Well, that's what my mother said, uncle, I'll take you to the bookstore." ”

The two walked for about two kilometers and spent nearly half an hour, which made Meng Chuan a little puzzled, "It's so far, why doesn't the little girl take the bus." ”

But before Meng Chuan could ask, the little girl stopped and pointed to the building opposite the school gate, "Uncle, look, opposite our school is Xinhua Bookstore." ”

Meng Chuan looked up at the Xinhua Bookstore dozens of meters away in front of him and smiled, "Then thank you little sister, you should go to school quickly." ”

The little girl reluctantly let go of Meng Chuan's hand, "Goodbye, uncle." ”

Meng Chuan watched the little girl walk into the school step by step, and then left for Xinhua Bookstore, but before she left, a crisp female voice came from behind her, "Comrade, wait." ”

Meng Chuan turned his head and looked at the woman running behind him in surprise, holding two lesson plans in his hands, it seemed that he should be the teacher, "You called me?" ”

The woman stretched out her hand, "Hello, comrade, I'm Wu Tian, Xiaomo's homeroom teacher, and you are Xiaomo's father's comrade-in-arms." ”

Meng Chuan saw that Teacher Wu stretched out his hand and shook it politely, as for the Xiaomo in her mouth, it should be the little girl who was holding her just now, "Hello Teacher Wu, I actually don't know Xiaomo's father." ”

Teacher Wu was a little surprised when he heard Meng Chuan's words, "However, I followed you all the way behind, watching Xiaomo hold your hand all the time." ”

"Oh, that's because I wanted to find a Xinhua bookstore, and I happened to ask Xiaomo, so she brought me here."

Teacher Wu looked at Meng Chuan suspiciously, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Meng Chuan is very curious about Xiaomo's father, Meng Chuan, as a soldier, is very familiar with the leave system of soldiers, even if it is a non-commissioned officer, a first-class non-commissioned officer is a corporal, and there should be two family visits of more than 20 days during the three-year term, as for the more senior sergeant or sergeant, there is at least one month of home leave every year.

Not to mention the officer, the officer's vacation is much more than that of the non-commissioned officer, so no matter what, it is impossible for Xiaomo not to see his father for a long time.

So he stopped Teacher Wu, who was about to leave, "Teacher Wu, can I easily ask what Xiaomo's father does?" ”

Teacher Wu stopped, glanced at Meng Chuan, and sighed, "Xiaomo's father is a martyr, we know this from when her mother applied for her school registration, originally her school district is not here, our school can't accept her, but the school has a preferential policy for the children of martyrs, so we made an exception." ”

Although Meng Chuan had been prepared in his heart, he was still shocked when he heard Mr. Wu's words, "No wonder Xiaomo said that his father didn't come back for a long time, it turned out to be a martyr, in comparison, Meng Chuan felt extremely lucky that he escaped death but only lost half of his lungs." ”

Teacher Wu looked at the time, and it was almost time for class, "Comrade, let's not talk about it yet, I should go to class." ”

Meng Chuan nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Teacher Wu, you can go to class first." ”

Meng Chuan has been thinking about Xiaomo in his heart, and he doesn't know how he walked into the library, as a soldier, serving the motherland and spilling his blood for the motherland, this is a matter of course, Meng Chuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and the country's preferential treatment and subsidy policies for the children of martyrs are very many.

But sometimes subsidies alone are enough?

Although the motherland has vigorously subsidized this matter in money, as government departments, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Armed Forces should allocate some manpower to care about the children of martyrs as much as possible, at least let them feel more love.

Although Xinhua Bookstore is a place that sells books, but as a large bookstore, it also sells children's toys here, Meng Chuan came to the toy store, thinking about buying a toy for the little girl, as a soldier who has experienced life and death, he can best understand how painful it will be if he loses his loved ones, and since he has seen it, he can't ignore it, otherwise he can't get over it with his conscience.

At this time, a shopping guide walked over, "Comrade, do you want to buy toys for your child?" ”

Meng Chuan nodded and asked, "What kind of toys do you say a seven or eight-year-old girl likes?" ”

The shopping guide picked up a Barbie doll, "The little girl likes dolls the most, this doll is the most sold in our store, especially popular with children." ”

Meng Chuan took the doll and looked at it carefully, the doll was indeed very exquisite, and he looked at the price at the back of the flip, 498 yuan, and his first reaction was that it was so expensive.

When the shopping guide saw Meng Chuan's expression when he looked at the selling price, he knew what the soldier in front of him thought, but the shopping guide was not worried, because the soldiers could not go home to visit their relatives many times in a year, and if they were to buy gifts for their children, they would basically not be too entangled in the price, "Comrade, don't look at the high price of this doll, but the quality is really good, and we are Xinhua Bookstore, the price is unified across the country, and there will be no random price shouting." ”

The shopping guide saw that Meng Chuan didn't speak, and added: "Comrade Captain, your daughter is studying in the elementary school opposite, let me tell you the truth, many little girls in the opposite primary school are very fond of this doll, you see you, you can't go home a few times a year, buy a better gift for your daughter, give your daughter a surprise, how good." ”

Although Meng Chuan is young, the rank of captain is here, so the shopping guide directly mistook Meng Chuan for a father with children, in fact, if you calculate the age, it is about the same, and Meng Chuan did not defend it.

Touching the five hundred yuan in his pocket, Meng Chuan's heart was horizontal, it was a big deal to continue to eat in the cafeteria later, and he was going to eat when he pulled back his luggage later, as for reading, in fact, there was no need to read a book to relieve boredom.

"Okay, I'll buy this."

When the shopping guide heard that Meng Chuan wanted this, he smiled and made a gesture of please, "Okay, then you come with me." ”

Came to the counter, the cashier passed the doll through the machine, the screen showed 498, Meng Chuan took out 500 yuan and handed it over, the cashier said while giving change: "Barbie doll is doing activities now, as long as it is 9% off, the original price is 498 yuan, the discount price is 448.2 yuan, you are charged 500 yuan, and the change is 51.8 yuan." ”

Meng Chuan didn't expect that there was still fifty yuan to change, now he didn't have to wait for his luggage to come back, fifty yuan could at least eat three bowls of knife-cut noodles.
