The sister and brother returned to Jiangbin City, which was already cold, from the rainy Rongcheng, and took the high-speed train to Yali.

Yali City, or Yali Town to be exact, is located 200 kilometers southeast of Jiangbin City.

Although it is a small town, there is a huge ski area here.

Although it is approaching November and the show is about to start, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue have no intention of skiing.

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue took a taxi to a slightly dilapidated residential area according to the address given by Zhang Songfu.

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue walked around, this living area is not bad, pharmacies, fruit and vegetable shops, etc., the sisters and brothers found a hotel and opened a standard room.

Small town hotel, of course, you can't expect how good the conditions are, Han Jiangxue understood what Jiang Xiao meant, he didn't want her to follow.

In the hotel, Jiang Xiao looked in the mirror, changed his appearance, and then walked out of the bathroom, looked at Han Jiangxue, and said, "Do you look like I'm thirty years old?" ”

Han Jiangxue was obviously stunned for a moment, Jiang Xiao, who should have a green face, was very mature at this time, this is a middle-aged Jiang Xiao?

Jiang Xiao continued: "If you have a beard, isn't it cooler? ”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao's beard changed above his lips, and his small round head turned into a finger-long short curly hair.

Han Jiangxue pursed her lips slightly, as if she saw Jiang Xiao's prime age, his face changed, and what remained unchanged was his bright eyes, which were bright.

He is no longer the ignorant teenager, after days and nights of hard training, participated in large and small battles, and stepped on the top of the world step by step, winning the world championship, his temperament has been honed, far more attractive than his appearance.

Han Jiangxue said softly: "Don't have a beard." ”

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, wiped the beard from his lips, and turned to leave: "I'll come back as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Xiao put on a hat, walked out of the hotel, bought some fruit in the nearby fruit and vegetable store, carried a carton of milk, and walked into the dilapidated residential area across the street.

Walking quickly to the third floor, Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, put down the milk crate, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

No one answered.

Jiang Xiao knocked on the door again...... Still no one answered.

Jiang Xiao took off his hat and grabbed the natural roll, isn't he at home?

This wait was four hours, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xiao finally waited for Zhang Songfu's father.

In fact, since five o'clock in the afternoon, residents have been returning one after another, and when they walked past the third floor, they all looked at the man waiting at the door with curious eyes, and several of them also showed a rather emotional appearance.

Seem... They knew who the 301 residents were, and they had seen such a picture.

A tall and thin man walked to the second and a half floors, and saw a slender figure leaning against the door of his house, and there was a milk crate at his feet, on which were a few bags of fruit, and immediately, the man asked, "Are you?" ”

Jiang Xiao turned his head, he thought that this was another passerby, but he didn't expect that he would wait for the return.

Don't look at the old and dilapidated residential area, because of the age, the neighborhood is very familiar, and the occupancy rate is high......

Jiang Xiao looked at the man who was about fifty years old, looking for traces of Zhang Songfu's father and son on the other party's face, and said, "Uncle Zhang? ”

Father Zhang nodded lightly, also looked at Jiang Xiao, and said with a smile: "Songfu's comrade-in-arms? ”

Jiang Xiao nodded again and again, it seems that this situation has happened many times, and Father Zhang already has experience.

Seeing that Zhang's father was in good condition, Jiang Xiao asked with a smile, "How do you know?" ”

"Huh." Father Zhang walked up while holding the key, and said with a smile, "You guys who have been on the battlefield, you can see it at a glance...... Come on in. ”

Jiang Xiao grinned, Zhang Songfu said that his father is an old policeman, and he also has two brushes, and his father is also a special policeman: railway public security.

Father Zhang opened the door, took a pair of slippers for Jiang Xiao, and said, "You've been waiting for a long time, right?" I'll ask where your aunt is, and let her come back to cook and eat at home tonight. ”

Jiang Xiao walked in with the fruit and the milk crate, looking at the small house.

Don't look at the old residential building, but this house is very clean, Jiang Xiao put things on the coffee table and looked around, this house is about 7 or 80 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, and the old couple should be very comfortable to live in.

Since meeting Zhang's father, Jiang Xiao has been secretly observing the other party's demeanor, and it can be seen that he is in a good state?

Jiang Xiao was visiting the house, looking for all the clues that showed the living conditions of the old couple, when he heard the strong northeast accent from the kitchen: "Rookie group? What a rookie group, don't participate, the sand is back, there is a guest at home (qiě). ”

After muttering a few words, Zhang's father returned to the living room with twice the tea, and said, "Sit, sit, sit quickly." ”

With a master leading the way, Jiang Xiao's northeast accent also returned: "What is the rookie group?" ”

Zhang's father sat on the sofa and said, "One dollar, farmhouse, car pick-up and delivery, food and accommodation." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao said, "Is it reliable? ”

Father Zhang: "I don't think it's okay either, but your aunt has participated in it several times, and it's really good." ”

Jiang Xiao thought about it, is it another way to advertise?

This is a good way to find a group, an aunt of this age, if she is well served, the advertising effect, one person can cover a community......

After a conversation, there was a silence in the living room.

"Ahem." Father Zhang coughed twice and said, "Songfu's comrades-in-arms have come several times, and you also have a heart." ”

Jiang Xiao smiled apologetically and said, "I'm late." ”

Father Zhang waved his hand and smiled: "What's not too late, Songfu has a lot of good brothers, haha, there is a future." ”

Jiang Xiao's words only understood in his heart, he was really late, whether it was the snow field or here, it was too late.

Jiang Xiaodao: "Uncle hasn't retired yet?" ”

Zhang's father: "It's early, I'm only 53, and I'm 60 when I retire, don't you just come back from work, your aunt is retired, tossing around every day, and it's a rookie troupe and a square dancer, so there's no time to spare." ”

Such homely words, in Jiang Xiao's ears, are already the best result.

Jiang Xiao: "How old is Auntie, and she retired so early?" ”

Zhang's father: "She is a railway worker, a front-line worker, and she can retire at the age of 51." ”

This old railroad ......

The two chatted and chatted, and also opened the topic, 20 minutes later, Zhang's mother carried a bag of vegetables, hurried back, just opened the door, and said to the head: "Okay, good, I'll fry two dishes for you." ”

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, didn't he ask for his name?

......

In less than half an hour, four dishes and one soup had been put on the table, and the couple didn't ask Jiang Xiao when he would return to the team, and directly acquiesced and forcibly left him for dinner.

It's just that Jiang Xiao looked at the bulk liquor in the plastic bottle, and his heart was a little stunned.

Liquor is not afraid of industrial production, but afraid of folk brewing, the degree is too high, Jiang Xiao really can't stand it.

After drinking a jar, Jiang Xiao regretted it, he should have brought Erwei with her, she could have a good drink with Father Zhang......

Zhang's mother has short hair, permed curls, and is in a good mental state, so she vigorously asks Jiang Xiao to eat this and that.

Jiang Xiao finally experienced the taste of picking up chopsticks to eat vegetables and putting down chopsticks to drink.

"You children, don't worry, we're doing well." Mother Zhang got up and came to the sink, washing the cucumbers, preparing to add a dish to the two of them, and said, "He is still at work, I also have a pension every month, and your team has given us a lot of care, which is enough for us to live." ”

"Hiccup~" Jiang Xiao burped, with the smell of alcohol, stretched out his hand, and said, "Wait, Uncle Zhang, I'll take it easy." ”

Father Zhang took a sip of liquor and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, this is only a tank, why can't you do it?" Are you really a soldier? ”

Jiang Xiao bared his teeth for a while,?

Stimulate me again, I can call and "shake" people!

Mother Zhang brought a plate of cucumbers and a plate of sauce to the table, patted Zhang's father's arm casually, glared at him very dissatisfied, and turned her head to look at Jiang Xiao: "Eat more, eat some cucumbers, nourish your throat, this broken wine is too strong, take a sip and follow the fire." ”

Click.

Jiang Xiao took a bite of the cucumber: "Okay, Songfu can rest assured." ”

Wine, good or bad.

Under the strength of the wine, such words do not seem appropriate.

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "I've cried and cried, I've shouted, my tears have dried up, and I still have to live." ”

As she spoke, Zhang's mother looked at Zhang's father, and the reason why the old couple survived seemed to have become each other. After all, Zhang Songfu is their only child, and the blow of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Jiang Xiao sobered up a little and fell silent.

He really wanted to tell the second elder that their child was still alive and strong.

But Futao's words still linger in my ears: don't give them hope, don't be the last straw.

The "they" in the mouth of the two tails refer to those soldiers in the upper dimension. And in the case of the old couple, this sentence also applies.

Zhang's father said: "That kid has a lot of potential, he is doing the right thing, don't say it, don't say it, son, where are you working now?" ”

Zhang's mother also looked over and said with concern: "Are you busy?" Tired or not? ”

Jiang Xiao held his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and did not speak.

"Confidentiality?" Father Zhang laughed, "It's like a bear like Songfu, don't say anything if you ask." ”

Zhang's mother suddenly stretched out her hand, pressed Jiang Xiao's arm, and said, "Xiao Jiang, since you can ask for leave to come out, go back and spend more time with your parents." ”

Jiang Xiao nodded heavily.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Jiang Xiao helped Zhang's father to the bed to rest. After Zhang's mother's repeated stay, Jiang Xiao still walked out of the house in the end.

Although under the protection of Zhang's mother, Jiang Xiao drank less than Zhang's father, Jiang Xiao also drank too much, his body staggered, and when he walked to the first floor, he flashed and returned directly to the hotel.

Han Jiangxue was absorbing star power, and when she saw Jiang Xiao standing in the room with a drunken body, she hurriedly got up and walked over: "How is it?" Drink so much? ”

Jiang Xiao said helplessly: "It's hard to be gracious." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao took out his mobile phone and handed it to Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue took the phone, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and found that the phone was in a photographic state.

Han Jiangxue clicked on the photo and saw a middle-aged and elderly couple sitting at the table in the small kitchen, Zhang's father was picking up vegetables, and Zhang's mother was saying something to Zhang's father.

Jiang Xiao fell down on the bed, hugged the pillow, and said, "I wanted to ask for the photo directly, but I couldn't find a suitable reason." This is what I took when I went to the toilet and took the opportunity to take a sneak peek, and I was going to print it out. ”

"Hmm." Han Jiangxue locked the screen of her phone, put it on the bedside table, and said, "Are you going to die again?" ”

Jiang Xiao kicked off his shoes, curled up on the bed, and said in a daze: "Who knows." ”
