In the winter of 83 in a blink of an eye, Wang Yang's father asked someone to bring a letter to let Wang Yang and his wife go to the army for the Spring Festival. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Yang's mother worked all night, preparing ripe peanuts, boiled dried sweet potatoes, cooked chestnuts and other local specialties.

Early the next morning, he brought a large bag and a small bag, and led Wang Yang to sit on the tractor of the production team into the county. I came to the train station in the county and got on the train that ran to the distance.

Wang Yang's father happened to go to the city to run errands in the army's Soviet-made gas military light truck, and picked up the two of them at the city railway station.

The family walked around the city, ate the local specialty snacks sesame oil chaos and soup xiaolongbao, and returned to the military camp on the outskirts of the city in the evening.

Wang Yang looked at the empty artillery hangar in the barracks and asked curiously: "Dad, why are those cannons in the gun hangar missing?" Last time I was in that gun hangar at the west end and was about to play hide and seek with the East, I was kicked out by Uncle Sentinel. ”

Wang Yang's father said while driving: "Haiyang, what you saw at that time was a howitzer, but now all the cannons with a width of two and a half meters and a length of six meters have been replaced, which can accurately hit more than 50 miles. He frowned again and said to himself: "Maybe it's going to be a war." Wang Yang's mother asked nervously, "Why?" You never mentioned in your letter to your family, that you are going to fight there? ”

"In the south, during this period of time, the inside of the army cinema was full of documentaries about the killing of border residents in our country and the burning of houses, and everyone was privately discussing the possibility of whether they could fight, and if we don't teach the small hegemonic country in the south a lesson, it will become worse and endanger the peace of the entire region."

Turning his head and looking at his wife beside him affectionately, he said: "I know that it has been difficult for you to pull your children at home and take care of your parents in the past few years, but as a soldier, the country has raised me for so many years, and there is a saying, 'Raise a soldier for a thousand days, use a soldier for a while'." If our troops go to war, I, as a pilot in the company, have a high chance of going, and I hope you can understand and support me. ”

Wang Yang's mother bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Can you not go?" Wang Yang's father was silent for a while and said: "If we go to the battlefield, our automobile soldiers will not be on the front line, and our task is mainly to transport military supplies." Also, if you go to the front line and come back to work professionally in the local area, it is relatively better to be resettled. Selfishly, for the sake of a better life for the two of you in the future, I must go too! The words hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "And I have handed over the battle letter to the company." Don't worry, if I really go to the front, I will come back safely, I promise you two of you! Wang Yang's mother hugged Wang Yang tightly and stopped saying a word, while Wang Yang was looking at the scenery outside the car window with interest, completely ignoring the conversation between his parents just now.

Returning to the army, Wang Yang and his parents temporarily lived on the fourth floor of a family building in the army. Although the room is small and a little simple, there is heating in it, and Wang Yang is also living in a building for the first time in his life. In just a few days, Wang Yang and several friends from the East played together again.

In the end, the children in the army played many games, such as throwing the four corners of the paper stacked with newspapers and cigarette boxes, triangles, one-legged crutches, rolling hoops, playing with spinning tops on the ice, etc., and sometimes Wang Yang even forgot to complete the winter vacation homework assigned by the teacher every day. Wang Yang's father is no longer very strict with Wang Yang these days, and has bought him a lot of toys and school supplies.

That morning, Wang Yang got up and saw a layer of hoarfrost in the window, and after wiping it with his hands, he saw that it was snowing outside the window. Looking downstairs, except for the sentry standing guard at the gate, there was no one in the entire front yard.

Wang Yang's mother opened the door and said, "Wang Yang, don't go anywhere after getting up and eating today, write your homework at home with peace of mind, your father and I will go to his comrade's house to sit down, don't go out at home when it's snowing outside today."

Wang Yang wrote his homework at home, felt a little astringent in his eyes, looked up and suddenly found a strange phenomenon, a gust of wind outside the window blew a ball of snowflakes and rotated, and a huge ice and snow flower was formed on the bamboo pole stretched out of the window to dry clothes, Wang Yang couldn't hold back his curiosity, and just about to open the window to see what was going on, the copper coin on his chest suddenly shook violently.

"It must have been that uncle reminding me that something dangerous was about to happen! Tell me to be careful. Wang Yang thought to himself. Wang Yang canceled the idea of opening the window, and continued to sit in front of the window and continue to look at the ice and snow flowers outside the window: the ice and snow flowers gradually got bigger and bigger, and suddenly they became a person.

Wang Yang took a closer look, and it turned out to be his mother sitting on the bamboo pole and waving to him with a smile. "Mom, why are you outside the window?" Wang Yang couldn't take care of it, and suddenly opened the window, and even the wind and snow blew outside the window, and Wang Yang couldn't help but shiver.

The mother stood at the end of the bamboo pole and said to Wang Yang: "Good boy, you come along the bamboo pole, and your mother is waiting for you here." At this time, the copper coin on Wang Yang's chest shook violently again, and he couldn't care much about it, and slowly climbed up to the window......

At the critical moment, the door suddenly opened, Wang Yang's parents appeared at the door, his mother exclaimed, and his father snatched Wang Yang from the window with an arrow. "It's too dangerous, ocean, what are you doing with the window?" Dad hugged Wang Yang tightly and asked hurriedly. "I just saw my mother calling me outside the window," Wang Yang said in a daze.

Mom hurriedly closed the window and touched Wang Yang's forehead, which was hot and hot. "This kid has a high fever!" Mom said anxiously. "Hurry up and find a doctor!" Dad took off his military coat, wrapped Wang Yang in a knot, and strode out of the room with him, and Mom went out with him.

Wang Yang hung up the hanging bottle in the infirmary, and after the drip subsided the fever, his father took some medicine. "You can't leave your child at home in the future, it's too dangerous!" Dad said to Mom. Mom nodded, and said fearfully: "Fortunately, we went home in time, otherwise the consequences would have been serious." When I was at your comrade-in-arms' house, I felt anxious......" The two of them said as they hugged Wang Yang home.

In the middle of the night, the car was in the east wing where Chinese cabbage was stored. The thin young man looked at the old house after a long absence, and sighed a lot, and at the same time he was thinking, "Who is the person who made an appointment with him through the netherworld tonight?" Who wants to control Wang Yang's mind and kill him? ”

At this time, a cloud of white smoke rushed into the crack of the door, and after a few circles around the thin young man, he suddenly imagined a person and stood in front of the thin young man.

The thin young man looked at it and exclaimed, "It's you?!" The "person" in front of him was the housekeeper who persecuted the thin young man to death.

The housekeeper smiled gloomily: "Ah Si, I haven't seen each other for so many years, you're doing well!" "The name of the thin young man was originally Ah Si. Ah Si stared at the housekeeper and said with a fiery gaze: "I died in your hands back then!" I thought that the Communist Party avenged me, but I didn't expect you to still exist! The housekeeper said coldly: "Ah Si, what's the difference between a poor ghost like you dying early and dying late?" It was the lord who wanted your life back then, and I just carried it out."

The housekeeper continued: "Later, the wind tightened, the Communist Party was about to fight, and the master ordered not to leave a grain of grain to the poor ghosts, so he hid the grain and all the valuable things in the secret room. I have been loyal for many years, and finally ended up in this fate. ”

Ah Si said with hatred: "For people like you, you deserve such an end." The butler ignored Ah Si and continued: "After that, I stayed in the secret room for decades, and it was not until the People's Liberation Army opened the secret room a few years ago that I regained my freedom, and I knew that the master was suppressed after liberation. It's because I'm so resentful that I exist. I'm full of resentment for everything in the world now, and I want revenge! ”

Ah Si asked, "You're going to kill that doll today, right?" The butler said coldly: "It's me!" Seeing that you're doing well now, I don't feel well. Not only will I harm that doll, but I will not let you go, this time I will absorb all your energy! After saying that, his eyes swelled, and he stretched out his thin fingers and pointed at Ah Si very quickly, Ah Si had already taken precautions and flashed to the side quickly. The housekeeper smiled sympathetically, his ten fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed Ah Si faster, and this time Ah Si was caught off guard by the fact that his shoulder was firmly grasped......

The next day, Wang Yang's body fully recovered, and he remembered what happened yesterday very clearly. He couldn't figure out why his mother would appear outside the window and then outside the door. He asked his mother, and she replied, "Silly boy, how can your mother stand on the bamboo pole outside the window, you must have a fever and are confused!" Wang Yang thought to himself: ask that uncle in his dream another day, maybe he can tell himself the answer. But until the Spring Festival, everything was still so calm, and there was no abnormality in the copper coins, and nothing unexpected happened.

On the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Wang Yang's family was having breakfast, when they heard a "meow" cry outside the door. Wang Yang carried the cat into the house and put it next to the stove, and his father looked at the cat and said, "This is a stray cat, it should have no owner."

Wang Yang said: "Dad, you see that it is cold and hungry and pitiful, why don't I raise it!" The mother said on the side: "This is an old cat, dirty, as if the eyes are still a little disabled, in a few days I will go to someone else's house to ask you for a cute kitten to feed." Wang Yang pursed his mouth: "I don't, I want it!" "Then I went to find a plate to feed the cat. When feeding, Wang Yang took a closer look at the cat: it was an old yellow cat, emaciated, with messy hair, blind in one eye, and lame. But when eating, it doesn't gobble, it first leans its nose over to sniff, shakes its whiskers a few times, and then **** up unhurriedly. After eating, I stretched out with satisfaction, curled up by the stove and fell asleep.

After the New Year, the atmosphere of the troops became more and more tense, and military training was carried out every three or five days, and the ideological meetings were held every day in the unit of squads and platoons, and another battalion was transferred from other fraternal units, so that the artillery regiment became a strengthened regiment, and the regiment commander and political commissar held meetings at the division headquarters twice in three days. In the evening of that day, Wang Yang's father came home and whispered: "This time there is really going to be a war, and Lian Li just held a party meeting to confirm this." Mom stopped what she was doing and listened attentively. I estimate that the rotation of guards in various military regions will not exceed half a year, and all the families of military personnel will have to leave the unit and return to their hometowns within this month. I'm going to bring something for the old people on both sides, and you and the child will go back next week. ”

On this day, there was a car in the army that happened to go to the county where Wang Yang's hometown was located, and by the way, Wang Yang and his wife could be brought back.

Wang Yang grabbed the one-eyed old cat from under the bed and put it into a cardboard box, and the old cat struggled reluctantly. Mom said to throw the old cat away, and Wang Yang said, "No, I'm going to take it back." ”

After packing up and getting into the car, Wang Yang's mother said to her father seriously: "Wang Yang's father, you are going to the front line, I don't ask you to win meritorious awards, you must come back alive!" ”

Dad grimaced and said with a smile, "I'm blessed with a great life, don't worry." At this time, the old cat jumped out of the carton and was about to slip away, but he grabbed it, reloaded it into the carton, and firmly sealed the carton exit, and then handed it to Wang Yang.

This scene was seen by two villagers from the neighboring village who were pulling a cart to deliver food to the troops' house, and one of the young men said to the other older man: "Uncle, have you seen that old cat?" ”

"I saw it, I was caught by that kid and taken away." Said the older man.

"This old one-eyed cat has lived for many years and has been wandering around our village." The young man said.

"Well, I remember when I was very young this cat was like this, and it has lived until now, this cat, it's a little weird," the older man said.

"Uncle, how old are you this year?"

"I don't feel very old yet, I'm past 60 years old."

After that, both of them were taken aback: Isn't this cat a sperm?!
