32. Grandpa

Xiao Qi also agrees with the third sister-in-law's point of view, whose new house can't be built? How many years have you been empty to live?

Then she heard her sister-in-law say: "It doesn't matter if he's true or not, I'll know after a while, but the house is really good, and it's been empty for the past few years." ”

Then the topic was done, and the sisters-in-law began to talk about other things, but none of these were of Xiao Qi's interest.

She walked around the backyard, watching Jinxiu and her little nephew play with a few stones so happily, Xiao Qi sighed, it is still a real child who is happy, and she, a pseudo-child, really can't experience the fun of a few stones.

It's not her turn to work at home, and her mother and sister-in-law are doing a good job, and she can't stay home all day, otherwise her mother should say it again, so in addition to the tasks assigned by her father, she reads and practices calligraphy every day, and the rest of the time is really nothing.

What a joy it is to have a sharp tooth! Running in the yard non-stop, either to the chickens and ducks to show off their might, or to run to the pigsty to show its sense of existence, or to chase the spy birds, the scared birds dare not fall in the yard, such a silly performance is really not able to see how fierce it is in the face of prey?

After a few turns, I finally arrived at the vegetable field, and began to pull up the grass in the vegetable field, the reason why people are bored is also idle, Xiao Qi, who was pulling the grass, suddenly felt that he was full of vitality.

Jinxiu and her little nephews saw their little aunt pulling weeds in the vegetable field, and they also followed them to the vegetable field.

Xiao Qi looked at the little nephew beside him, lest the little nephew pull out the vegetables, so he quickly took a few grasses for the nephews to write down, and told them that they had no food to eat at night when they pulled the wrong one.

The little ones immediately nodded honestly and said that they had written it down, and if they really didn't pull out any of them, and don't look at their small efficiency, they are not low, they are still very energetic, and Jinxiu is not as good as the little ones, she is too playful, and she will play with herself after a while.

Xiao Qi didn't bother to care about her, and carefully pulled up the grass in the vegetable garden, which could also make her sister-in-law and mother more light.

Before dinner, my father and my third brother and nephew arrived home on time, and my grandfather had already walked back, but what she didn't expect was that my mother came back with my father, and the third brother was responsible for driving the carriage into the stable in the backyard, and everyone sat at the dinner table after everything was done.

After sitting down, the brothers and eldest nephews saw the chicken nuggets in the basin on the wooden table, and their expressions immediately changed, and they were very happy that they didn't expect there to be meat to eat.

When the grandfather saw the meat on the table, he knew at a glance that it was his granddaughter's masterpiece, turned his face to look at his good granddaughter, and said with some worry on his stiff face:

"Xiao Qi, there shouldn't be anything wrong with you in the back mountain, I fully believe that you can protect yourself.

But you are not allowed to go to Qingyun Mountain, there are too many beasts there and they are very ferocious, no matter how powerful your little girl is, there is always something that you can't take into account, don't let grandpa worry about knowing? ”

Everyone's expression is the same as that of grandpa, and the family is worried that she is young and bold, no matter how stupid and bold she is, she will run to Qingyun Mountain.

Looking at his family Xiao Qi, he smiled warmly, "Don't worry!" Grandpa, father, brother, sister-in-law, when have I ever done something that I am not sure of? I won't let anything happen to myself, I'm not stupid, I'm so smart and excellent, my father said that if I were a man, maybe there would be another talent in our family. ”

Hearing Xiao Qi's immodest words, everyone laughed for a while, and the grandfather who couldn't hold back his laughter stroked his beard and said, "Don't laugh, Xiao Qi is indeed the smartest in our family, she ...... That's right, okay, let's eat! ”

Xiao Qi: "...... "Grandpa, you can put away the smile in your eyes, and it will be better to say these words again."

After the meal, Xiao Qi helped his grandfather to take a walk in his yard, mainly because his grandfather was old and ate a lot of meat at night, so he was afraid that his grandfather would not digest it, so he would go away and eliminate food.

The two of them walked along the courtyard in front of them, "Grandpa, you told me a lot of stories, but you didn't talk about the army, can you tell Xiao Qi about the army?" Xiao Qi looked at the scar on his grandfather's face and said with some hesitation.

The granddaughter's words made Lu Changhong stunned, and there seemed to be something ...... in his eyes after the vicissitudes of life.

"Can't Grandpa say it? I can't say grandpa, don't say it. Xiao Qi felt that she seemed to see something from her grandfather's expression?

Lu Changhong stopped and looked at his favorite granddaughter, although the granddaughter was extremely intelligent, she was only a seven-year-old child after all, and it was normal for her to be curious.

The eldest son and the youngest son also asked him the same question, but the mentality was different from that now, and he didn't say that after decades of precipitation, he actually let go of his heart a lot.

"It's not that I can't say it, it's just that grandpa doesn't know how to say it." Lu Changhong looked at his granddaughter and seemed to be thinking about what to say.

"Back then, I went to serve in the military without telling your grandparents and grandparents, but in fact, who wants to serve in the military? We all know that nine times out of ten the people who go will not come back, and the one who comes back is not guaranteed to be all bearded and tailed. ”

Xiao Qi continued to help his grandfather walk slowly, quietly listening to his grandfather talk about the things of the year.

"Your grandfather and I didn't want to go to military service back then, but if I don't go, your uncle and grandfather have to go, how old is he? How can I bear it? ”

"Back then, I followed the big army all the way to the border of our Dasang country, Yuguan City, where the war was tense, and we recruits didn't train for a few days at all, so we were sent to the battlefield in one go.

The battlefield was cruel, and the common people who had not experienced the killing of the people could be imagined, and after a battle, more than half of the personnel who came to serve in the military with my squad were killed or wounded.

At that time, I was very scared, I was afraid of death, I was afraid that I would never see my father and mother again, and I was still so young, my father and mother worked hard to let me read all these years, not to let me come to the battlefield to die.

I was scared, I really didn't want to die, I wanted to go back to see my father and mother alive, and I wanted to be my own child, so I figured out that I wanted to live only on myself.

I began to work hard to learn martial arts with the military martial arts instructors, I practiced again when others were practicing, and I was still practicing when others were resting, and I slept the latest at night, the earliest in the day.

Fortunately, there is always a reward for hard work, and after all kinds of battles, I finally managed to survive. In addition, his luck was not bad, and he attracted the attention of the commander, and he learned that your grandfather and I were a scholar, and he mentioned me as a captain, and later became a centurion, and then the general also noticed me, and saw my bravery and strategy, so he promoted me to be a commander. ”

Although Xiao Qi listened to his grandfather very easily, he could imagine the hardships and cruelty in the meantime, you must know that the commander of the thousand can be equivalent to the level of the head of the regiment, and if he can achieve the level of the head of the regiment, you can imagine how much his grandfather has paid.

Xiao Qi knew that something must have happened during this period, but what kind of cruel thing made Grandpa unable to persevere?

“…… Later, after a battle that I will never forget, there were traitors in the army, and they gave laxatives to the food of the soldiers the day before, so that many soldiers were weak after a day's stomach, and who expected the enemy to suddenly attack at midnight.

As you can imagine, the battle was a one-sided battle, our army suffered heavy casualties, my best brother at the time, the commander of the thousand who promoted my captain, also died in front of me, and the scar on my face was also left in that battle.

If I hadn't been quick to hide, I would have been buried like my brothers, and although the battle was narrowly won, there were countless bones piled up. ”

Xiao Qi found that when her grandfather said this, her eyes were full of sadness and sorrow, she had experienced so many cruel things, she was glad that thanks to her grandfather's strong willpower, she could live a normal life after retiring, and did not become a violent and bloodthirsty person.

Later, under the leadership of the general, the Great Sang Kingdom finally won the victory and disbanded some of the wounded veterans,...... I went home with the subsidy. Speaking of which, Grandpa looked up into the distance, as if he wanted to see through what he was looking through.
