We were all a little nervous about who would knock on my door at this time, and my first thought was that the murderer was coming. Jiang Zhi and I glanced at each other, then got up and went to the front door.

Li Cheng saw that Jiang Zhi was going to open the door, and he also got up and hid behind the gate to prepare to attack.

Jiang Zhi looked at the door and whispered: "I don't know this person, it's not from our building, how did you get to our unit?" ”

Dad Qu heard that the person who came was not a neighbor, so he also got up and came to the door to take a look, but he really didn't know him.

As we looked, the people outside knocked on the door twice.

Maybe seeing that no one opened the door, he suddenly said loudly outside, "Hello, I'm An An's father, is An An here?" ”

As soon as Dad Qu heard that it was An An's father, he hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, "Well, look at this figure is a bit like Li Shanqing." ”

An An heard someone outside talking at the dining table, so she shouted excitedly, "Dad is back, my dad is back." ”

I saw that An An was anxious, so I led him to the door, Jiang Zhi picked him up, and asked him to see if the person outside was his father.

An An looked out from the door and shouted, "It's Dad, it's Dad." ”

The people outside heard An An'an's voice in the door, and also shouted loudly: "Son, Dad is back." ”

As soon as we saw that this situation should be true, Jiang Zhi opened the door. I thought to myself, even if it's not true, there are so many of us, and there is only one person outside, we can deal with him.

As soon as the door opened, a man who looked like a homeless man came in.

As soon as he came in, he listened to Li Cheng and An An shouting at the same time. "Platoon Commander" "Dad".

Li Cheng was always on guard just now, and he didn't see anyone outside the door, but then he saw someone coming. What a coincidence of acquaintances.

Li Shanqing, who came in, was about 40 years old, of medium build, very thin, but with broad shoulders. The face is quite clean, but I haven't shaved my beard for a long time, and my beard is a little messy and a little long.

His eyes were sharp. After coming in, I saw An An who was protected behind Jiang Zhi.

As soon as An An saw the arrival, he pounced on him, crying and saying, "Dad." Dad, I miss you, why did you come back. ”

His eyes were also red: "Son, Dad is back." Daddy is back. Then he saw Li Cheng, who had jumped in front of him, and said excitedly, "Chengzi." You're here too. ”

Qu's father, Qu's mother and I all know someone who came, and this person is Li Shanqing, An An's father and Grandma Li's grandson.

After our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was interrupted, Qu Dad and Li Shanqing told about what happened at home during this time.

Li Shanqing looked very wooden, the expression on his face remained the same, and after careful observation, he could still see some of his emotions in his eyes.

When Dad Qu said that Grandma Li had no rice, no food, and no firewood to cook at home, I saw some guilt in his eyes; When Grandma Li came to the house to ask for cold medicine and our help to Grandma Li's family, his eyes showed gratitude; He also said that a few days ago, Grandma Li was killed at home. His eyes were a little crimson, and the hands on his knees clenched into fists. The muscles in his hands bulged. Finally, a few days ago, in order to prevent Grandma Li's body from being at peace after death, our family held a simple cremation ceremony for her, which can be regarded as letting Grandma Li be buried in the ground.

Hearing our handling of Grandma Li's posthumous affairs and the investigation of the murderer, Li Shanqing knelt down on our knees without warning and said to us sincerely: "Thank you, thank you for taking care of our family. Thank you for taking care of my grandmother's funeral, and thank you for taking my son in. ”

His action was so unexpected that it scared all of us, and we all got up to help him up. I helped him and said, "Brother Li, don't be like this, I don't know how to tell you, Grandma Li was killed, and I am also responsible, if it weren't for the things I gave, she wouldn't be like this...... So gone. I've been ...... in my heart these days," I choked up a little as I spoke, and the guilt that had been piled up in my heart these days suddenly came to my heart. Ever since Grandma Li was killed, I have always complained in the dead of night that I can't be thoughtful in doing things, if I don't give so many things at once, Grandma Li can't just leave, and An An can't become an orphan.

Li Shanqing was helped up by us, and when he heard me say this, he said to me seriously: "Quyi, this matter has nothing to do with you, I am very grateful to you for being able to lend a helping hand to our family when everyone is in such a difficult situation." If it weren't for you, maybe when I came back, I wouldn't be able to see either of them. I will remember your kindness to our family for the rest of my life, and as for the murderer, I will find out. ”

You don't know why, Jiang Zhi persuaded me many times, I just figured it out at the time, and then I still blamed myself when I thought about it, I must have been an ordinary person, I have been taught since I was a child to love the motherland, unite classmates, and help others, this cold person may be killed because of my negligence, I really can't accept it for a while, I can't turn this corner, it's always time to be free, take this matter out and think about it, complain about yourself, and always can't get over this hurdle in my heart.

When Li Shanqing said that it was not my fault, I felt that the guilt on my body was immediately reduced a lot, as if I had been forgiven by the person concerned.

After that, Qu's mother looked at Li Shanqing's weather, and said that today was the New Year, let Li Shanqing go into the house to clean up, and then come to have a group meal together.

Then Wei Wei used the hot water that was always sitting on the stove to give Li Shanqing a large bucket of bath water, he changed the wooden face on his face, and looked at Wei Wei busy with a slightly red face, I analyzed that it may be a rare woman to be a soldier, and he is preparing bath water for him, it is too intimate. I found a whole set of clothes that Jiang Zhi didn't wear, handed it to Jiang Zhi and asked him to take it to Li Shanqing to replace.

When Li Shanqing entered the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes, An An also followed, and he didn't want to be separated from his father at any time now. I thought a little sourly in my heart, it was really good to him for nothing. With his own father, he doesn't want me to be his new mother.

When Li Shanqing and An An went in to take a bath, Li Cheng explained his relationship with Li Shanqing to us.

There is really such a coincidence in the world, Li Shanqing is also a soldier. And he was also the platoon commander of the special forces before Li Cheng retired from the army, although there were not many soldiers under him, but his abilities were very strong, Li Shanqing was regarded as the platoon commander with his real talent and hard work, so the soldiers under him were very obedient to him and respected him very much, including Li Cheng, who is now discharged from the army.

Li Cheng is full of praise for Li Shanqing's personality. I guess this guy is pretty good.

In fact, although our family is neighbors with Grandma Li's family, we rarely see Li Shanqing. My impression of him is still that I saw him when I was in school. Later, maybe he went to the army, and he couldn't come back for a few days a year, so he didn't meet again. So it's still very strange to this old neighbor for many years.

It didn't take long. Li Shanqing took An An back to the restaurant. We sat down again and started to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was a little late, but fortunately there were three competent housewives at home, and they had just warmed up all the dishes, so it was not cold to eat now.

Li Shanqing was a little surprised to see the rich food on our table, but he didn't say anything, just briefly told us why he came back late.

It turned out that after he called to say that he was coming back, he received a notice from above that there was an important task to be carried out immediately. He didn't make it, and it was January when he finished his mission. Originally, if he was still in the army, how could he still be fed, but he was worried about the old and the young at home, so he proposed to his superiors to go home on leave, and the above approved it without much retention in this case.

He has carried out the important task and the long journey of more than a month, the difficult journey is a few words, from the analysis of his image and clothing just now, he should also have suffered a lot of hardships, after the tribulation to come back intact, and that important task is estimated to be a secret, can not be said casually.

Dad Qu said: "No matter what, it's good to come back, and when you have time, you can burn some paper for the old lady, tell her, and let her rest assured." ”

Li Shanqing nodded silently.

The return of Li Shanqing was a surprise and a surprise for us. This year, An'an's family can be regarded as a reunion.

After eating, the women began to make dumplings, and the men returned to the living room and sat on the sofa to ask Li Shanqing about the road.

I was absentmindedly wrapping dumplings in the women's pile, eavesdropping on their conversations.

I summed it up, that is, now the whole country is full of snow, and the whole country is a disaster area, and the difference is in the light and the heavy. The highway was completely closed as we expected, and neither the state nor the local government had the energy to clear the snow from the highway now, and few people were out on the road in this weather.

In addition, cities are much more chaotic than towns and villages, because after the snowfall, not every city has the humanity to distribute the grain from the grain depot to the disaster victims, so that everyone has a way to live, giving the disaster victims a glimmer of hope and a glimmer of life. The leaders of many cities only care about their own pleasures, hide their own food, and do not think about the lives of their citizens at all, so these cities are very chaotic, and there are many robberies and murders. The townships and towns are relatively much better, at least there are many families who have grain in their homes, and as long as they are not unable to survive, there are still very few people who will go out to rob and kill people.

When Li Shanqing heard that we wanted to go back to Tashan Village after the snow melted, he said, "If you have to go, I suggest you go before the snow melts." Now because of this weather, the snow on the road, some people with bad intentions are blocked in the city, there is no way to come out to rob the house, if you wait until the snow melts before leaving, then the chance of you encountering man-made danger has increased a lot. This winter, many cities have run out of food, and they are thinking that after the snow melts, they will go outside to find an opportunity......"

I understand, it's just a natural disaster and ** to choose one.

Jiang Zhi listened very seriously, and then said to him, "We'll think about it." ”

Li Shanqing heard Jiang Zhi say this, so he didn't say anything more.

We have a lot of people, and we quickly finished wrapping the dumplings, if it is usual, we should sit around in front of the TV, ready to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but this Chinese New Year's Eve power outage, there is no TV program, so I will find out the Spring Festival Gala from the computer over the years and show it to everyone on TV, although they have all been watched, and there is also a New Year atmosphere.
