Chapter 22: Don't be a soldier
"Hongrui, I'll bring you the food." Father Lin walked to the door and shouted inside.
When Lin Hongrui heard the movement, he immediately put down the book, got up to open the door, and saw the smiling and happy Daddy Lin, his heart was still warm, and he took the soup bowl in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "Dad, can you eat something in this piece?" ”
"No, it's yours. You just eat. Seeing Ruan Qiuyue sleeping, Father Lin exhaled lightly and whispered, "You have eaten it all, don't leave it for her." I'll save one of my two buns for her in a moment. ”
"Dad, I'm not hungry, so I don't go to work in the afternoon. I'll just eat a bun. Lin Hongrui knew that Father Lin really felt sorry for himself, but he was even more afraid of Wang Lanxiang.
"Ahh If you go home and don't go to work, your mother will make trouble again. This, you see, or not, you should go......" Father Lin's face changed, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment and worry, and his back was hunched a little.
"Daddy. Qiuyue fell asleep with a fever, and I didn't feel at ease when I left. Lin Hongrui explained to Daddy Lin: "I'm not here, she may come to fight Qiuyue." ”
"Well, too. That, that's okay, you keep the autumn moon. Me, I'm going to eat. If you don't go to work, your mother wants to make trouble, don't be afraid, I won't let her beat you. Father Lin straightened his back slightly, as if he wanted to give himself a little more courage, and said to him.
"Dad, I've grown up, and I'm not afraid of her beating me for a long time, and she can't beat me. You also ......" Lin Hongrui faced Daddy Lin, who still treated him as a child of a few years, his heart was warm and bitter, weak and uncomfortable.
"Yes, yes, yes, dad forgot, it's a young man! It's better to be a soldier, if you don't go, you will be ruined at home! ”
Daddy Lin grinned, smiling happily and brightly, even his eyes moistened a little, he wiped his tears, and said, "You stay at home for a few days, when are you leaving?" ”
"Dad, I'm demobilized, and I'm not going to be a soldier." Lin Hongrui stared at him and said in a low voice.
"You, what are you talking about?! You're not going to be a soldier? Why? This, this doesn't work, this doesn't work! Hongrui, how can you not be a soldier! Did you commit a crime in the army? Let's go and beg someone, let you go back again! ”
Father Lin grabbed his arm anxiously, his eyes were red, and his face was almost frightened, and he kept saying no, he must be a soldier.
"Dad, I'...... No offense! I was a soldier for five years, and it was time for demobilization. Lin Hongrui looked bitter, grabbed his shoulder, calmed him down, and comforted him: "I'm not a soldier, I can do other work, don't panic!" ”
"That's not going to work! If you stay at home, your mother will not be happy when she sees you, and she will make a fuss. Daddy Lin said in a panic.
"Daddy. It's been decided that I'm not going to be a soldier, and she can't change it. Lin Hongrui let go of him and said in a deep voice.
Father Lin met his calm gaze, his trembling body gradually calmed down, but his back was deeper, his frowning face was full of sorrow, and he was silent for a long time, and he whispered: "Don't tell them about this first." Let me think about it for a few days. ”
Lin Hongrui nodded.
"Then you, you hurry up and eat, I'm leaving." After Daddy Lin finished speaking to him, he left in despair.
Lin Hongrui frowned, he turned around, looked at Ruan Qiuyue, and saw that she was not woken up, she was still asleep, and her tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.
He sat down, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, drank another sip of soup, and just quietly ate a steamed bun, drank half a bowl of soup, and put down the chopsticks.
