As soon as Lin Xiaoqian got off the bus, he saw Han Shouzhen waiting there.

"Sister?" Lin Xiaoyan looked confused.

Han Shouzhen smiled and said, "I came to see you, thinking that you shouldn't have come back today, so I'm just waiting here."

The two walked side by side towards the compound, quiet and silent, and Lin Xiaoliang responded to the greetings of acquaintances he met from time to time.

At the beginning, the neighbors were very cold to their family who had just moved in, and Lin Xiaoliang was still cold to the people here, or there was a relationship with the man in charge who had less dealings. It wasn't until Shen Chi's identity was no longer a secret that the neighbors suddenly became enthusiastic, and she was puzzled that she understood what was going on from Shen Chi's mouth.

The people in the compound of the capital military region may be cold, but they also have to divide people. When they moved over, they were in the military district of a colonel-level officer, and to be honest, when it came to this class, there were fewer people from the grassroots, and everyone had more or less connections and backers behind them. At the beginning, Shen Chi was an airborne soldier, and his life experience had not yet been exposed, so people naturally had little enthusiasm.

Although this kind of neighborhood relationship is not pure and has the purpose of interests, Lin Xiaoliang doesn't care, anyway, she doesn't plan to find a confidant here who can put her heart to heart. As long as there is an ordinary level of friendliness, it will not have an impact on life.

When he got home, Lin Xiaoliang opened the courtyard door and walked in with Han Shouzhen.

"Mom, you're back." Shen Yinian was feeding the chick that had grown into a big rooster in the yard, when he heard the movement, he raised his head, pursed his lips and smiled: "Mom, auntie." ”

Four years have passed, Shen Yinian is no longer the little radish head he was at the beginning, the eight-year-old boy's facial features are delicate and cute, and his eyes are bright and calm that his peers do not have. But there is also the innocence and cleanliness of a child. No one doubted that, in time, the boy would grow up to be as tall as his father.

"Little rice cake, you said last time that you were going to come to your aunt's house to play, and it turned out to be a joy for me!" Han Shouzhen complained to him.

She had always been fond of this nephew. Not only because he is the son of his younger brother, but also because this child is really smart and sensible.

Shen Yinian scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I was going to come, but the teacher asked me to participate in the reading competition, and I was not available." ”

"Reading contest?" Han Shouzhen's eyes lit up, "How many places did you win?" "This nephew is very smart. Except for her own son, she has never seen a more clever child than him.

"First place." Shen Yinian smiled shyly, but his eyes shone with pride.

Lin Xiaoliang stretched out his hand and patted his head, "Okay, let's go and do our homework." ”

"I did it in school." Shen Yinian said dissatisfied.

"Then go review your homework or watch cartoons." Lin Xiaoliang did not prohibit his son from watching TV. You just can't be without moderation.

Knowing that his mother was going to turn himself away, Shen Yinian frowned and his nose was a little unhappy, but he still went obediently.

"Is there still no news from Shou Law?" As soon as the little rice cake left, Han Shouzhen couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Lin Xiaoliang shook his head.

"It's been almost a year, why haven't you heard from you at all?" Han Shouzhen said irritably: "The old man is too, and when he asks him if he refuses to say what task Shoulu has done, even the eldest brother is silent." She knew that this kind of confidential mission could not be revealed even to her relatives, but it involved the people around her. I can't calm down.

Lin Xiaoliang lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be news soon." "The reason why she was so calm. First, it is because Shen Chi's body has been exercised to the extreme with her help over the years; second, when Shen Chi left, she prepared a lot of life-saving drugs for him; Thirdly, Shen Chi had the induction jade pendant she gave her, so she knew that Shen Chi's life was not in danger now.

Han Shouzhen sighed, feeling very helpless. Although she was anxious, she was even more worried that this young brother and sister would not be able to stand it. Although Lin Xiaoliang behaved more calmly than herself, she was always worried that she was suppressing herself.

After Han Shouzhen left, Lin Xiaoliang entered the kitchen. It took half an hour to make dinner for the mother and son.

"Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet?" Halfway through the meal. Shen Yinian suddenly bit his chopsticks and asked.

"Did Little Rice Cake miss Daddy?" Lin Xiaoliang's voice was soft, as if he was not asking about a sensitive topic.

Shen Yinian nodded. "I haven't seen my dad in almost a year."

"Daddy will be back soon." Lin Xiaoliang's voice was calm, and his tone was full of confidence.

Shen Chi promised her that he would rush back before she graduated.

Han Shouzhen didn't know what Shen Chi's mission was, but it didn't mean that she didn't know. Shen Chi is not a person who sticks to the rules, although he can't give it all, he can still give a hint or two. And for Lin Xiaoliang, that was enough for her to guess the approximately.

Maybe it was because of her calmness that Shen Yinian never felt panicked, even if he heard people turn their backs to him several times and said some sympathetic words, even if someone with malicious intentions deliberately ran to him to say that his father had sacrificed, he never believed it.

Shen Yinian is now a first-grade student in primary school, and she never has to worry about Lin Xiaolian's homework, she puts more attention on cultivating his hobbies.

Lin Xiaoliang has always felt that if a person has no interests and hobbies, his personality will definitely become dull and inflexible, and he will become a person who has no interest in life. This not only affects mental health, but also has a negative impact on work, communication and other aspects.

What's more, many people form self-awareness through hobbies, turn interests into ideals, and find the direction of their lives.

"Mom, the model of the tank you gave me last week is ready, are there any new ones?" Lin Xiaoliang took her son to try a lot of talents that she knew children liked, both literary and martial arts, but Shen Yinian's favorite was models.

"Already done? Awesome! Lin Xiaoliang bent down and kissed him on the cheek, "The new model will be given to you in two days, you go and put the finished model in place now, remember to mark the date." ”

Shen Yinian began to learn to make models at the age of six, and has already had a very large number of works, and Lin Xiaoliang also specially cleaned up a room for him to put models.

When Shen Chi was at home, he accompanied his son to make models, and the two also learned together, but Shen Chi was an adult in the end, and he learned faster. However, the son is not bad, I believe that it will not take long to surpass Shen Chi, who has not put much energy on the model.

Lin Xiaoliang also thought about accompanying her son, but unfortunately she really has no talent in this area, she is not as good as her son, she thinks it is too shocking, and then she simply stopped touching it.

"Mom, what kind of model is it next time, I want a model of a fighter jet, can you get me one?" Shen Yinian said a little excitedly.

Lin Xiaoyan raised his hand and touched his head, and said, "I'll try my best." "In my heart, I plan to check the fighter drawings of this era, and then let the workshop process them.

Knowing that his mother would not let him down, Shen Yinian nodded and went to the living room to watch TV.

Lin Xiaoliang sighed, there were few people in the family, and he always felt a little lonely.

The next day, Lin Xiaoliang was watering the flowers in the yard after breakfast, when the phone in the house suddenly rang.

"Hello!" She picked it up.

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and just as she thought it was a prank and was about to hang up, the other party spoke.

"Wanwan, I'll take the train back tomorrow." Shen Chi's voice was tired, but he could hear that his spirit was very excited.

Lin Xiaoliang covered her mouth in surprise, and said after a while: "Your task is complete?" ”

"Yes." Shen Chi seemed to laugh, and said in a deep voice: "This call was made secretly, don't tell anyone." ”

Lin Xiaoliang nodded hurriedly, and realized that Shen Chi couldn't see it, so he said, "Okay, I definitely won't tell others." ”

Shen Chi's laughter this time was obvious, "I just handed in the task, I feel very tired, but I can't sleep, you tell me what happened at home." ”

This is the first time that Shen Chi has called home since he hit the mission, so he doesn't know anything about what happened at home this year.

Lin Xiaoliang naturally said yes, thought about it and began to talk about his son.

"At the beginning of the year, I took the little rice cake back to my hometown, and he quickly got into a mess with the children over there, and also participated in a folk skating competition, won a second place, and came back very unconvinced, so I bought him a pair of skates, saying that he would go back to find a field next year. Last time I went to a parent-teacher conference......"

She said a lot, and Shen Chi had been listening patiently, and when she was finished, he asked, "Don't just talk about your son, talk about yourself." ”

"Me?" Lin Xiaoliang was stunned, "I'm fine." ”

Shen Chi over there sighed, and then asked, "Are there any boys in the school who have no eyes pestering you?" ”

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment before he understood what he meant, and said with some tears and laughter: "Why do you always care about this?" ”

"Is there or isn't?"

"Yes, yes, but it's just a junior brother, maybe because you haven't been in a relationship, I don't believe I'm married, and I refuse to give up. You come back and show up, and the matter is settled. ”

Shen Chi didn't express his thoughts on this, but changed the topic and asked, "It's hot again, have you eaten obediently?" ”

"Yes, of course." The tone is hard to hide.

"Forget it, I'll come back to settle accounts with you. Didn't you say that you were going to build a wisteria pavilion in the yard this year? Did you get that? ”

"Not yet."

"Then I'll get it for you when I get back. And you said you want to string some beaded curtains out, I got some jade beads this time, and I'll come back to give you beaded curtains. ”

"Okay, bring a little more and string bracelets."

"No problem. I've also brought you some gold jewelry, and you'll love it this time. ”

Lin Xiaoliang was helpless when she heard this, Shen Chi always seemed to not give up to make her like gold jewelry, and she became more and more courageous.

Of course, under her dislike again and again, his appreciation has indeed grown very much.

Until he hung up the phone, the smile on Lin Xiaoliang's face did not disappear. It's just that because the news that Shen Chi is coming back can't be shared with others, he was a little happy and stupid for a while. (To be continued)
