Chapter 163: Battle on the Battlefield (1)
On February 24, 2022, the Russia-Ukraine war officially began, which is the result of NATO's continuous eastward expansion, squeezing Russia's strategic space and living space. And the diplomatic strategy adopted by Ukraine in recent years is one of the reasons for the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war. In the Russian-Ukrainian war, Russia's strategic appeal is to promote negotiations with war, force Ukraine to sign an alliance under the city, and force Ukraine to give up its intention to join NATO, so as to obtain security guarantees.
Since the outbreak of the war, the village of Nekhodivka, where Yao Jingjing is located, has become a border village and has become a customs clearance road for Russian troops to enter Ukraine. Russian tanks are often seen passing through the village into Ukraine, and the people in the village are panicking, men, women and children are worried that the village will be baptized by the fire.
At noon that day, a few people who were eating at the table heard the roar outside the house again, and they knew that it was the Russian tanks coming again. Ivan's eyes lit up, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and rushed out of the house, and Sergei saw this and walked out with him.
Mary didn't know why, thinking that something was wrong, so she stopped eating and went out of the house.
Saying that, Ivan excitedly rushed out of the house, came outside, and caught a glimpse of the majestic and domineering tanks driving in front of his eyes, Ivan involuntarily saluted the military salute, his face was solemn, and his eyes were full of yearning and longing. The soldiers on the tank also saluted Ivan.
Sergei and Maria also came to Ivan's side, and when they caught a glimpse of the tanks speeding by, Maria breathed a sigh of relief, she thought something was wrong! Isn't it just a tank car, I'll see you almost every day these days, what's so exciting!
Sergei glanced at Ivan's expression, Maria didn't know Ivan, he knew very well, Ivan, as a retired soldier, had a different yearning for such things as going into battle to kill the enemy and charging into battle. Sergei perfectly understood Ivan's thoughts.
As the tank team gradually drove away, Ivan reluctantly withdrew his gaze and sighed secretly.
"What's so nice about this! I watch it every day, but I haven't seen enough! Mary muttered, and turned back into the house.
"Ivan, you'd love to enlist, right?"
Ivan turned his head to look at Sergei, smiled bitterly, and nodded in response: "Yes, I would love to return to the army." Alas, but, boss, now you, Jingjing and Maria need someone to take care of you, and I can't leave. ”
Sergei frowned and said, "Actually, I can move freely now, and Maria is also a healthy person, so we don't need to take care of it too much." The only thing that is difficult is Jingjing, she runs this family alone, and it is really hard. ”
Alas, Ivan sighed helplessly: "So, ah, I can't go." Ivan looked again in the direction in which the tank had disappeared, his eyes full of gloom and melancholy.
Late at night, Maria had fallen asleep, and Yao Jingjing and Sergei whispered softly.
"Business is very good today, and I sold more than 200 copies in one day, which makes me tired." The middle school students have passed the winter break and the school has started, and there is an endless stream of people who come to buy pancakes and fruits every day.
"Jingjing, since you started this snack business, it's basically rain or shine, and you don't have a rest every week, you're too tired, so let's just take a day off tomorrow."
"No, business is so good, how can I rest, I'm tired, but I'm fine."
