"Xiaoyang, get up! Mom went to work in the fields. ”

Long Yang, eight years old this year, calls him to get up to school every day after his mother cooks a meal, and he gets up early to do farm work.

Long Yang, when he was five years old, his father fell into a cliff, and his bones were nowhere to be found.

Long Yang's father, a veteran who was discharged from the army, had a serious face that left a deep impression on Long Yang's mind, because he was an old man with strict management, he couldn't talk when he ate, he couldn't talk when he slew, he couldn't talk when he sit, he had to sit straight, and he had to walk right.

If he is still here, Long Yang will still be trained by him every day.

Now that he is not here, Long Yang will still be trained by him.

Long Yang was born in this small mountain village, when his father was a soldier, his mother was a family member of the army, and the two of them have been living in the army. During the time they lived in the army, the young couple had no children, and they didn't know if they wanted to or never arrived, so it dragged on for a long time. Long Yang's father, Long Shaoyun, never saw his father, he was an orphan and grew up eating hundreds of meals, and later the family in the mountain village took him in, and he also had the first real home, and his wife was the daughter of his adoptive parents. Although Long Shaoyun didn't know where he was from, and he didn't know how he got to this small mountain village, he knew that his surname was Long, and although he was young at that time, he insisted on his surname Long. The adoptive parents are honest people, their surname is Jin, no matter how the people in the village persuade him, or according to the child's opinion, they did not change his surname, or the surname Long, and the weather was cloudy on the day he was adopted, so he was named Long Shaoyun.

Long Shaoyun joined the team when he grew up, and he has always worked hard, whether on daily duty or performing tasks, he charged ahead in everything, without fear of difficulties and life and death. Over the years, a box full of medals and medals was stuffed.

The army took into account Long Shaoyun's outstanding performance and was ready to promote him for reuse, but Long Shaoyun suddenly proposed to retire from the army, on the grounds that there was a major incident at home and he had to go back.

What the army needs is a strong soldier and a loyal guard, Long Shaoyun is outstanding, the leaders of the army are reluctant to let him leave, and he has done work several times, hoping that he will consider it, but Long Shaoyun has always insisted and said that he does not agree with anything.

The leaders of the army considered that something important might have happened in Long Shaoyun's home, otherwise Long Shaoyun would not have insisted like this, so he secretly asked the local comrades to inquire.

I can't stop doing work here, I'm anxiously waiting for news here, every comrade is gold now, Long Shaoyun is not just gold, it is gold that will not change color, and it is also real gold trained by the army.

Time passed day by day, Long Shaoyun went to the leader every day to inquire, asking why his application report had not been approved, and no one understood why the person the leader wanted to promote was in a hurry to leave.

Long Shaoyun's parents are seriously ill!

"This kid, why don't you report such a big thing to the leader, that is, your parents are seriously ill, you can talk to us! We will help him, we are a big family, we are all brothers and sisters, one side is in trouble, all sides are supportive. "Long Shaoyun's leader really wants to help this excellent warrior under his command.

"Chief, Platoon Commander Long's parents are his adoptive parents, it was his adoptive parents who adopted him since he was a child, and they didn't change it to their surname, Platoon Commander Long is going home to repay his kindness, local comrades came to say, their old man requested, serious illness must not be told to Platoon Commander Long, for fear of affecting his work. Chief, how did you say that Platoon Commander Long knew that his adoptive parents were seriously ill. The staff officer next to him said.

"Hey! Maybe it's a heart-to-heart connection! ”

"You arrange the matter of the platoon commander and allow him to retire from the army, but let the local comrades take care of it, after all, he is an officially retired comrade, and he is the platoon commander, so he should arrange a job."

Day 2

"Chief, Platoon Commander Long has left after completing the discharge procedures, we don't know when he will leave, even the simple farewell party arranged by Li has been prepared in vain, and on the bed after he leaves, the bedding is neatly aligned, as usual, always advanced."

"He has his ideas, but I still can't figure it out, what about the letter of introduction I wrote to the locality?"

"All the letters of introduction were on his quilt, but he wrote two words on them."

"What word?"

"Loyalty!"

"My dearest brother, our loveliest warrior!"

"Chief, you're crying!"

"No, I'm laughing!"

Long Shaoyun didn't have any requirements when he retired from the army, he just packed his luggage, he didn't say that living in this life was the best gift for him, his adoptive parents gave him life, and the army gave him a second life, so he had no regrets.

Now that he's out of the military, he's going home to repay his parents. Three days after returning home, Long Shaoyun's adoptive parents were seriously ill and died at the same time, and Long Shaoyun knelt in front of the coffin for three days, without a drop of water.

A year later, Jin Qin became pregnant, and later, Long Yang was born.

In Long Yang's memory, his father Long Shaoyun smiled inhibitibly, and the occasional smile was also relative to his mother, he was happy when he smiled at his mother, the two of them rarely communicated, but a gesture, a smile, and they could understand each other.

Long Shaoyun developed a piece of land on the mountain and planted various fruits, saying that when the fruits were ripe, they could sell them for money for Xiao Longyang to go to school, giving the Long family an eyebrow.

home, not solid; Life has always been dull.

Since Long Yang was able to walk, Long Shaoyun followed the code of conduct of the army and taught by word and deed. Xiaolongyang has known since he was a child that this is okay and this is not okay, this is right, this is not right.

Xiao Longyang doesn't like his father, his father is too serious and not lively, Longyang likes to follow his mother's side, although his mother doesn't talk much.

Time doesn't stop like this, sometimes people want to grow up, sometimes people want to slow down, but time still keeps running, one year, two years, three years, four years, five years, Longyang is five years old.

In five years, Longyang's behavior is professional enough, he can cook, dress, wash clothes, clean the whole house, do what he can do, and do the farm work that he can do at home.

Long Yang wants to say to his parents: Little Longyang has grown up.

On his fifth birthday, Long Shaoyun went to the mountains to hunt a hare, and cooked it himself and cooked a dinner for the family.

Father had never cooked, and this was the first and only time.

Long Yang had never eaten such a fragrant meal, and his father laughed with him several times that day, and praised him for being handsome, like a man when he was a child. Although Long Yang didn't know what the meaning of a man was, he seemed to know that he was an extraordinary person and an important person.

Long Yang fell asleep in his father's arms, which was also the first time he was so close to his father, and it was also the first time that his father hugged him to sleep.

In his sleep, Long Yang saw his father holding his hand, his mother also holding his hand, and the family of three laughed and danced together.

It's good to be together!

Long Yang fell asleep, and he heard a cry in a trance, but that cry had been masked by joy and buried by pleasant laughter.

It's crying, when Long Yang got up from the bed, the grandparents, uncles and aunts on the mountain were all there, why was everyone crying? My mother has fainted and many people are running around, what's the matter?

Until now, Long Yang didn't understand, and his mother didn't tell him what was wrong.

He just knew that on his fifth birthday, he had lost his father, who was both serious and loving to him.

His mother didn't say it, the old people in the mountain village said it, and he secretly heard about it, because his mother didn't allow him to ask, let alone inquire.

"The day Shaoyun left, although it was midnight, the sky on the top of the mountain was red!"

"The second child next door saw someone flying up on the top of the mountain."

"Hey, the second child's words are not credible, he is drunk when he wakes up, and he is drunk and unconscious, don't believe him!"

"Shaoyun is a good boy, he has always been honest, especially for us seniors, he is even more respectful, it's a pity that people are gone!"

"Master, do you say there are ghosts in this world?"

"What?"

"You said that if Long Shaoyun died, why couldn't he even find his body, and if he didn't die, why didn't he see anyone?"

"Such a high cliff, how can a person still live if he falls, maybe the body has been taken by a wild beast. You can't mention the ghost, but if you do, you'll find you. Moreover, there are believers and unbelievers. Ay! Needless to say, I'm old, and you young people don't even need to mention it again. The eldest patriarch in the village, trembling, walked back slowly.

Long Yang could only learn about his father's situation through these sporadic eavesdropping news, and the people in the village never talked about these things in front of him, except for the old patriarch.

All the surnames in this mountain village were Jin, until Shaoyun came, and there was one and only one foreign surname. The village does not know how many years it has existed, not even the oldest patriarch, only that the oldest patriarch is one hundred and ten years old.

And the old patriarch said that he had lived enough, and this year was his last time.

"Grandpa, what's the matter with my father?" Xiao Longyang has no friends, only the patriarch grandpa talks to him, it's not that he has no friends, it's his mother who doesn't let him contact with outsiders.

"Hehe, grandpa doesn't know, he's no longer there, don't you still have your mother with you!"

"I miss my father!"

"Maybe you can see him!"

"Ahem, I didn't say anything, you go home quickly!"

"Grandpa, you said that I can still see my father, you say it quickly, you won't lie to me, everyone else has a father, Xiaolongyang doesn't, grandpa, you said I can see my father, don't you say?"

"Xiao Longyang, go home quickly!" The old patriarch closed his eyes and ignored Xiao Longyang.

A month later, the old patriarch died.

"Xiaoyang, get up, mom went to work in the field, the potatoes are boiling in the pot, you take a few to school, pay attention to safety when climbing the mountain."

"Mom. I saw my father again last night! ”

"Silly boy, you're talking nonsense again! Hurry up and get ready for school! ”

Although you don't believe me, but I really saw my father again, and he disciplined me again, and it hasn't stopped for the past few years, mother, you just don't believe it.

And my father said, let you pay attention to your body, saying that I am now the only man in the family, hehe, I am already a man, this is what my father said.

Also, I also saw the patriarch's grandfather, I won't tell you this, and you won't believe it if you tell you.

Xiaolongyang's school is on the other side of the mountain, and every day before dawn, he has to get up early and bring his mother's cooked potatoes to school, which are also his rations for the whole day. It's also a ration that hasn't changed every day, every year.
