In June, when Mr. Qi watched the news of the government's disarmament on the news, he couldn't help but mutter, "It's time for health care to come back." Qi Baoliang said: "Hong Kong is going to return, and health care should come back!" Shen Mengxi said, is there any connection between the two?

"Hong Kong?" Old Man Qi asked.

"Yes, Hong Kong, it was occupied by the British back then, and now we want it back!"

"Oh, that's good! It's good to come back! Old Man Qi was very happy to hear this, and asked the eldest grandson, "Then why are you coming back from Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun?" ”

"I don't know!" Qi Baoliang scratched his head.

"Mom, it's the most unlikely thing to happen! Alas, I can't see it! Old Man Qi scolded and scolded, and when he saw his granddaughter looking at him, he smiled and stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty years!" ”

Shen Mengxi smiled approvingly, and also compared two fingers.

At dinner, Qi Baoliang talked about the anecdote in the village, "The two grandsons of the old Jia family, you said that you don't want to die, you dare to jump down from the roof, and the small one sits in the duck food basin, nothing happened, the big one grabbed the ground, knocked the front teeth twice, and howled so much that half of the tunzi heard it!" ”

"Hehe, Lao Jia's family, it's the big yellow dog!" Old Man Qi explained to Shen Mengxi, and then asked, "Zhuzhu, you said, are you about to catch up with your fourth brother and be naughty?" ”

Shen Mengxi nodded.

"That kid is so hungry, he fell into the water tank the year before last, almost choked to death, took a bath last year to suck the bottom of the boat, almost drowned, and this year he broke his front teeth, I see, it's not more worry-free than the security guard!" Qi Baoliang wrenched his fingers like a treasure.

Shen Mengxi laughed.

Qi Baoliang saw her smile, so he said: "That kid, the year before last was not high, stepping on a stool to scoop water in the water tank to drink, there was only half a tank of water left in the water tank, he leaned into the tank to roll water, but he fell into the tank, his feet hooked the edge of the tank, his head was immersed in the water and gurgled and bubbled, and he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't know how long he held it, his grandfather came in from outside, and he saw a pair of little feet, and hurriedly brought it out, and he didn't cry when he took it out, and laughed; Last year, a few boys went to the river to take a bath, he practiced tying a fierce son, but he got under the boat, sucked it and couldn't get out, the kid was also capable, he just held his breath, and waited for his uncle to pull him out; Today there was another fuss.,The front teeth that just changed are broken.,It's a tooth to be designated in the future! ”

"Oops, the teeth can be attached!" Shen Mengxi said: "Put the broken front tooth directly on, bite it, don't eat, you can connect it!" ”

"It's really fake!" Qi Baoliang didn't believe it.

"Really!"

"When Zhuzhu said that, I really seem to have heard of it somewhere." Old Man Qi tried to recall, and said to Qi Weidong: "Weidong, you go to Lao Jia's house to wake up, just say don't eat and don't get wet, don't be hard in the past two months, it's good to try." ”

Qi Weidong put down his chopsticks and went. After a while, he came back and said, "Uncle Jia said that they tried it, no matter how good it is, thank our family." ”

"Well, let's eat, I'll save you some food."

Qi Weidong answered, sat down and continued to eat.

In July, Qi Health Care was honorably discharged from the army and returned to Jiayang County.

As a matter of fact, the Sino-Vietnamese War ended in early 1979 after only one month, and our army declared victory in a short period of time.

But in the following decade, the two countries have been engaged in military confrontation in Laoshan, Faka Mountain, Zheyin Mountain and other places.

The unit of Qi Health was sent to the Laoshan front line for more than a year to carry out logistics and transportation tasks, and it was not until June 85 that the task was successfully completed and then ordered to return. Qi Health Care Institute Automobile Company was awarded the collective second-class merit, and he was personally awarded the third-class merit. In July, Qi Health, who had served for an extended period of time, returned to his place of household registration.

A total of 15 people were demobilized in Yishi, and three in Jiayang.

On the day when the three heroes returned to their hometowns, the county organized cadres and the masses to welcome them at the intersection leading to the county seat, and rows of primary school students stood on the side of the road with red faces and red scarves in their hands. The Qi family and the Lu family are even more active, and even Qi Youfang's family is here, all dressed neatly, looking forward to it gloriously and excitedly.

When the big liberation car with a big red flower tied to the front of the car appeared in the field of vision, an order was heard in the crowd, and suddenly gongs and drums rang out, red silk flew, and primary school students shouted "Welcome!" Welcome! Put out the welcome mat! Sincerely, warmly.

Lu Xiuzhi has been crying since she heard the news yesterday, and now she has been crying because she doesn't eat rice, and now she can't cry when she sees the car. Lu Xiufen hugged her sister vigorously, for fear that she would sit on the ground.

The leaders of the county armed forces department also greeted them at the intersection, and the car drove to a stop, jumped out of three young people in military uniforms, shook hands with the leaders of the armed forces department one by one, and then found their relatives separately, hugged them warmly, and suddenly there was an excited cry on the side of the road.

Lu Xiuzhi hugged her eldest son tightly, trembling all over, unable to say a complete sentence, since sending him to join the army, it has been four years since she saw her, and she actually has a feeling of being lost and regained. Grandma cried the loudest, "My treasure! You're back! Your mother is going to kill you! ”

The officer of the armed forces department felt that the scene was a little out of control, so he hurriedly came over and asked the three Laoshan heroes to get into the car, saying that the car would go around the city for a week later, and the leaders of the county party committee were still waiting in the conference room of the county party committee to commend them. ”

Lu Xiuzhi was embarrassed to really get into the car, and reluctantly let go of her hand.

The car slowly moved around the main street of the county, and there was a cheering crowd on the side of the road and behind the car.

After the flood, Jiayang County has a new look, the main streets are all asphalt roads, the street roads are also widened, and the sand is repaved, at the intersection of Prosperity Road and Fuqiang Road, a new four-story L-shaped department store has been built, the first and second floors are state-owned, and the third and fourth floors are self-employed.

In addition to department stores, there is also a free market, although it is an open-air operation, there are only thirty or forty stalls, but business is still very prosperous.

There are also a few more individual restaurants, and Qi Youheng held a feast at the Linjiang Hotel at noon that day to celebrate his son's triumphant return.

This Linjiang Hotel was only opened last year, and it was renovated after the flood, and the lobby can set 12 tables, which is the largest hotel in the county. Qi Youheng has a good brain, he starts quickly, he made a reservation yesterday, and the other two can only line up behind his house, and it will not be his turn until the evening and tomorrow.

Relatives, friends and colleagues sat at the full twelve tables, lively and extraordinary, it has arrived at the meal, Qi Health Care is still at the commendation meeting, must not get out, Zhang Xianfeng as the host, excited, with a Shanghai accent in Mandarin, talked about the deeds of the two generations of soldiers of the Qi family to protect the family and defend the country, praised the good family style of the Qi family, has a revolutionary heritage, and finally said humorously: "My family just has no daughter, otherwise this son-in-law must be settled first!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and someone answered: "There are two in my family, Lao Qi can pick whatever you want!" The crowd laughed even harder.

The director of the Public Security Bureau also took the stage to make a few speeches, which won a round of applause.

In the end, Qi Youheng stood up and shouted to everyone with a smile, "Thank you for coming!" Eat and drink well! You're welcome! ”，

Old Man Qi sat at the main table, his face strained, his expression nervous, no one knew what he was thinking.
