Lu Zheng rushed back to his hometown from the provincial capital on the same day. In order to understand the truth, he did not go home directly, but first went to the township police station to find Lao Liu.

Lao Liu happened to be on duty at the police station at night, and when he saw Lu Zheng, he happily pulled him to drink. He can't drink too much on duty, but it's still okay to accompany Lu Zheng to taste a sip or two.

Lu Zheng stopped him and said that he was talking about business. Lao Liu saw that he didn't drink, so he took out a pack of orchid beans to entertain him, and the two sat by the stove and chatted.

Lao Liu works at the grassroots level, and deals with the villagers in ten miles and eight townships every day, and Lu Zheng asked him if he was asking the right person.

Lao Liu originally knew about some trivial things that happened in the township, not to mention the Lu family, which he was particularly concerned about. At the beginning, it was difficult for him to get involved with the affairs of the Lu family, but now he can still say a few fair words.

Lao Liu threw a bean into his mouth, "You can't blame your younger siblings for this, she was already wronged when you weren't at home, and your family forced her, so she had to resist if she was a person." She has done enough to be a woman, and your sister-in-law is not as good as her. ”

Lao Liu was afraid that Lu Zheng would blame Lin Xiaoxiao for his parents, and he also used his family's affairs as an analogy.

After listening to this, Lu Zheng said: "I know about this, thank you very much!" ”

Lao Liu said heroically: "What's polite! What else do we say thank you between our comrades-in-arms, don't mention this thank you, Shengfen! ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "Okay, don't mention it!" I'll have you a drink another day, and you can call me when you're in town. ”

Lao Liu pointed to the uniform on his body and laughed at himself: "I wear this skin, I can rest for a few days all year round, and if there are not enough people, I don't have to take all the people below to ask for leave." ”

Lu Zheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "You are not bad, you think about me, now you almost can't find a home when you come back." ”

Lao Liu put aside his sadness and asked, "What?" Brother and sister won't let you in? You're ...... too."

Lao Liu didn't say the rest of the words, he used to be a soldier, even if Lu Zheng didn't say anything, he could guess that he hadn't gone home for many years after he went on a mission, but he really suffered his wife at home. It is said that behind the military merit medal is half of the military wife, but they should pay, and let the women in the family also suffer, which is not comfortable!

Lu Zheng didn't hide it, "I really couldn't find my home, the two of them suddenly moved to the provincial capital, and the address given to me by the leader was still old, fortunately, the leader also gave me the address of my father-in-law's house, I just asked." ”

"Then what do you mean when you come back? This doesn't accompany my younger siblings, and they came to me to ask about those bullshit things? ”

Lu Zheng smiled bitterly: "You think I want to come, if I can't handle this matter well, your brother and sister won't forgive me, and I don't even have a place to sleep on the sofa." ”

Lao Liu laughed at him: "You deserve it, if you come back early like me, where is there such a thing." He said that he still envied Lu Zheng in his heart that he could wear a military uniform.

"It's coming, I won't leave when I come back this time, and I should stay at home in the future." Lu Zheng told his future arrangements.

"Really, not leaving? Where's the arrangement? Is it inconvenient to find you for a drink in the future? ”

"When I come back this time, I will be transferred to the provincial capital to be responsible for civilian work, and I will not go on another mission in the future."

"Okay, your kid should also live a few ordinary days, accompany the elderly and children at home, and the younger brothers and sisters should be compensated even more, but your parents can't be foolish." Lao Liu is a rough man, he hasn't read much, he doesn't know what to say, he is straight to his comrades.

Lu Zheng patted him: "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of stupid person." Okay, I still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

"Okay, do you want me to give you a ride?" Lao Liu pointed to the three-wheeled motorcycle outside the window and said. This three-wheeled motorcycle has fallen from a luxury car to no one cares, that is, the conditions of the police station are not good, so he still drives this old antique.

"No need to send it, what are these few steps, you forgot that we marched twenty miles back then, you are not underestimating people." Lu Zheng refused Lao Liu's kindness and walked on the country road in the moonlight.

When it got dark early in winter, Lu Zheng walked into the village, and he glanced at his watch, which was only past eight o'clock. He walked on the familiar country road and found the door of the house, and he did not meet anyone.

He looked at the dark house, there was no light, and thought that the family had gone to bed early.

He stood outside the door and banged the doors and windows, trying to wake up the people in the house.

Lu's father slept late, and he hadn't fallen asleep just after going to bed, and after being knocked on the door, he asked impatiently: "Who?" What's the matter with knocking on the door in the middle of the night? ”

"Dad, it's me!"

Father Lu heard Lu Zheng's voice and thought that he had heard it wrong, so he woke up Mother Lu and asked her to listen together. Mother Lu was woken up with a stomach-filled opinion, "Old man, you go outside to watch TV without sleeping, don't wake me up!" ”

"Old woman, I, I seem to hear Lu Zheng's voice." Father Lu's mood was still quite excited.

"What do you say? Did you hear it right? ”

Lu Zheng waited for Lu's father to open the door for him, and after waiting for a few minutes to see that the house was still not lit up, he slapped the door again.

"Listen, you listen to it yourself, whether Lu Zheng is back." Father Lu pointed to the movement outside and asked Mother Lu to open the door to see.

"Old man, don't scare me, you mean there is a ghost, our son is back?" Lu Mu is bold when facing people, which will know that she is afraid.

Father Lu turned on the light: "What nonsense are you talking about, Lu Zheng is really back, just outside the door, what the hell, I see that you have a ghost in your heart." ”

"Wait, I'll be right away." Father Lu got out of bed and opened the door with his clothes on.

"Dad, I'm back." Lu Zheng tried to show a smile.

Father Lu looked at him happily, "It's really you, hurry up and enter the house." ”

Lu's father pulled Lu Zheng into the house, and Lu's mother quickly got dressed and got out of bed.

"Lu Zheng, it's really you back! Oh! My hard-working son, you have finally come back, and if you don't come back, you won't see your mother for the last time. Lu Mu took Lu Zheng's hand and howled.

Father Lu stopped her unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about, you have no life and no disaster, what do you mean that you can't see the last face." ”

Lu Mu retorted confidently: "Am I not right? If he doesn't come back, we are all so old, maybe one day we will kick our feet and close our eyes, and the person will leave, it's not like we won't see the last side! ”

Lu's father: "......"

What else could he say, could it be that what she said was wrong, how awkward it sounded.

Lu's mother blocked Lu's father's mouth, and continued to pull Lu Zheng to cry: "Son, my life is miserable!" When I was a daughter-in-law, I was bullied by your grandmother, and my daughter-in-law who had been working hard for many years became a mother-in-law, and I was bullied by Lin Xiaoxiao's little girl, you have to call the shots for me! Son,......"

Lu Mu said while pretending to wipe away the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes.

Before Lu Zheng could speak, Lu's father couldn't help but remind Lu's mother that when she had been bullied by her mother-in-law, she couldn't talk nonsense!
