When Zhou Tao and Liang Yuan rushed home, many guests came to Zhou Tao's house.

"When, when, when" came knocking on the door.

"Who's coming?" Zhou's mother, who was mopping the floor, heard a knock on the door, put down the mop and walked to the door, and when she opened the door, she saw a lot of people standing outside.

"Eh, sister, this floor of your house is too high, the sixth floor is still a staircase, every time I come, I am out of breath when I climb, when will I let my brother-in-law change the house? If my mother comes, I won't be able to climb up! As soon as I opened the door, I heard a woman with a somewhat shrill voice complaining, this woman was Zhou Tao's third aunt, and Zhou Tao's second aunt and uncle stood behind, as well as their three children, two were Zhou Tao's younger brothers, and one was his sister.

"Why are you here, come on, come into the house and rest, I'll pour water for you" Zhou's mother was very happy when she saw her mother's family coming, and hurriedly let her come into the house.

A large group of people walked in, and Zhou Tao's third aunt saw the mop standing next to the sofa and said, "Sister, are you cleaning?" What about my brother-in-law? Why didn't you see it? ”

Zhou's mother hurriedly said: "The child's father is reading in the back room, you sit first, and I will call you out." ”

Before Zhou's mother could speak, Zhou Tao's third aunt said again: "Sister, brother-in-law is reading books in the back room to hide from leisure, you are busy here, what is this called?" In my house, the housework is done by my family. ”

Zhou's mother was about to open her mouth, when she heard Zhou Tao's uncle echo and said: "Yes, Cuilian, didn't my brother say, what age is it now, why are women still doing housework?" When I married you into his family, I didn't come to be an old mother. ”

"I said you can come, don't bring anything, don't talk, bring a bunch of gossip, do not do this business, what are you doing? Take care of your own one-third of an acre of land! Father Zhou, who heard a voice outside, walked out of the study, and happened to hear his wife's mother's family chattering there again, and his heart was angry.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhou's mother hurriedly came out to play a round, "Isn't it just doing housework, it's all a trivial matter, whoever does it is the same, come, sit down, I'll make you tea." ”

Zhou Tao's second aunt also pulled Zhou Tao's uncle to sit down.

Father Zhou snorted coldly and sat down too, but he didn't say anything more, after so many years, in fact, everyone knows whom.

When Zhou Tao's mother was young, she was a well-known beauty in the city, and her family also had some assets, so there were a lot of young men chasing Zhou's mother at that time, and many of them had good conditions, but Zhou's mother didn't like it, but she fell in love with a local boy who came to the city to work in the countryside, which was Zhou Tao's father, and finally Zhou's mother resolutely married Zhou's father despite the opposition of the family, and then lived a life that was not so rich, which made Zhou's mother's family always very dissatisfied with Zhou's father.

The atmosphere eased a lot, Zhou's mother also brought tea, and the two sides chatted about homely things, and after a while, the topic was brought to the child.

Zhou Tao's third aunt said: "How is Xiao Tao in that company's class recently? I heard that it was still a job that you spent 100,000 yuan to find for my sister. ”

Zhou's mother said: "The child works very hard, and he came back two days ago to say that the company sent him on a business trip." ”

Zhou Tao's third aunt looked at her son, that is, one of Zhou Tao's younger brothers, and said: "Then you have to work hard, otherwise when will the 100,000 yuan be earned back, you see my Xiao Wu, two years younger than Xiao Tao, this is not a while ago and was promoted, now the monthly salary is almost 20,000, and then look at the second sister's Xiao Zheng, in the army, they are all captains, not to mention the eldest brother's Nizi, who has only been in class for a few years, and now he is the boss, you have to talk to Xiao Tao, learn more from Xiao Wu, Don't always be like his father."

The more he said, the more ugly Zhou Tao's father's face became, and Zhou's mother's face was not very good.

Zhou Tao was also a little surprised when he saw so many people sitting in the house, and when he looked at it again, it turned out to be several of his aunts and uncles.

Although Zhou Tao usually doesn't like these elders very much, he can't lose etiquette, otherwise he will think that he has no tutor, so he still greets politely, "Second aunt, third aunt, uncle, why are you here?" ”

"Eh, Xiao Tao is back, we just talked about you, come on, come and sit." Zhou Tao's third aunt saw Zhou Tao coming back and hurriedly said enthusiastically, feeling as if Zhou Tao was going to her house as a guest.

After Zhou Tao walked into the house, Liang Yuan in the back also walked in with two gift boxes.

"Xiaotao, did you bring a friend back?" Zhou's mother saw a man in military uniform walk in, and wondered when her son had a friend who was a soldier, and he was not a few years younger than herself.

"Mom, this is not my friend, this is my leader." Zhou Tao said with a smile, and at the same time let Liang Yuan sit down on the sofa on the side.

Liang Yuan handed the gift box in his hand to Zhou Tao, sat down and said to Zhou's mother with a smile: "Eldest sister, hello, I am Zhou Tao's leader, and he will belong to my department in the future. ”

Zhou's mother was a little puzzled, although her son also worked in a state-owned enterprise, no matter what, his leader could not be a soldier, and their company was not a military enterprise, and was about to ask, Liang Yuan continued: "That's the case, our army is studying a project, and we can't tell you in detail about what project is due to confidentiality reasons, but we have taken a fancy to Zhou Tao's talent, and his ability is exactly what we need, so he was specially recruited by our army as a special talent." ”

"Really?" A look of surprise appeared in Zhou's mother's eyes.

"Then Xiao Tao just went to you to participate in the project, or did Xiao Tao also be a soldier in the future?" Sitting on the side, Father Zhou asked.

"This is my dad." Zhou Tao hurriedly introduced Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan nodded and said: "Since we have been specially recruited, then Zhou Tao is considered a specially recruited soldier, the kind that is awarded!" ”

Mother Zhou and Father Zhou were already happy and didn't know what to say, "Great, really good, I didn't expect my old Zhou family to be able to produce a soldier!" ”

Zhou Tao's third aunt said with a suspicious look: "Xiao Tao has already come over to be a soldier, how can he still be recruited into the army, you are not a liar, right?" ”

And Xiao Zheng, who was sitting closer to Liang Yuan, that is, the younger brother of Zhou Tao's third aunt who said that he was a squad leader in the army, his eyes were round at the moment, and he looked at the rank on Liang Yuan's shoulder incredibly, and his heart set off a storm, "This officer is actually a major general?" ”

When Zhou Tao's third aunt questioned, Xiao Zheng wanted to hold her, but in the end he didn't do it, because he also had doubts, you must know that the general army came to the house to notify the news of enlistment, that is, ordinary soldiers to notify, how could there be a major general level to come to the door in person?

"This is my ID!" Liang Yuan took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Father Zhou.

Father Zhou looked at it and handed it to Zhou's mother, and it was written on it, his name was Liang Yuan, he belonged to a certain unit, and he had the rank of major general.

Zhou's mother wanted to take a closer look, but was snatched by Zhou Tao's third aunt, and then handed it to Xiao Zheng, who was sitting on the side, Xiao Zheng was a person in the army, and he could identify whether this document was real or fake.

Xiao Zheng took it, looked at it carefully a few times, and the horror in his eyes was even stronger, this document was real, it was really a major general, Xiao Zheng hurriedly got up and saluted Liang Yuan with a military salute, "Chief, good!" ”

This move frightened Zhou Tao's third aunt, but it also proved from the side that this thing was true.

"Okay, this is not a military region, sit down." Liang Yuan waved his hand at Xiao Zheng.

The excitement in the eyes of Zhou Tao's mother and Zhou Tao's father was overflowing, they never thought that their son would also be able to become a soldier one day, and he would be a senior general at the level of a major general in person, what a face his son was.

However, one of Liang Yuan's next moves frightened them.

Liang Yuan took out the card with a deposit of one million according to Zhou Tao's entrustment, put it on the table and said: "Here is one million, which is the subsidy for our army to recruit Zhou Tao to join the army to participate in this project, and it will also be handed over to you two elders today." ”

Zhou's mother was obviously a little panicked, "That, comrade, is there any danger for Xiao Tao to do this project?" How can so much money be given? Father Zhou also had an inquiring look in his eyes.

Liang Yuan smiled, "Don't worry, it's not a dangerous job, it's just that this matter is very confidential, so Zhou Tao may not be able to come back in the next few years, and there may be very few phone calls, so this subsidy is not much, you can rest assured to accept it!" ”

"Oh, that's right." Hearing Liang Yuan say this, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were a lot relieved, but their eyes showed reluctance to their son, and they couldn't go home for a few years.

Liang Yuan saw that Zhou Tao's parents believed it, and then said: "Okay, I sent the person, I also notified the news, there is something else in the military region, I will go back first, Zhou Tao, you have been at home with your parents for the past two days, and I will pick you up at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow." ”

Liang Yuan left, the family fell into silence, no one spoke, the news was too shocking, Zhou's mother and Zhou's father were happy that their son was a soldier, he had a chance, and he could serve the country, but he was worried about his reluctance to his son, after all, he would be separated for several years.

And Zhou Tao's third aunt and uncle were a little embarrassed, just after praising their own children, and letting Zhou Tao study with them, but a big man at the level of a major general came to the house to inform them of the enlistment, and left a million, which made them feel that a slap in the face was a slap in their face.

After a while, Zhou Tao's aunts and uncles, as well as his younger brother and sister, all left, and they really didn't have the face to stay any longer.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Tao's family of three was left in the living room of Nuoda, and Zhou's mother looked at her son distressedly, "Son, are you hungry?" Mom is going to cook for you. ”

Zhou Tao smiled and said to Zhou's mother: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat the hand-rolled noodles you made, it's very fragrant!" ”

"Eh, okay, Mom will do it for you." The moment Zhou's mother turned around, a flash of crystal flashed in the corner of her eyes.

When Zhou Tao saw it, his heart couldn't help but be sour.

The mother of the child is worried!

Father Zhou walked over at this time, patted Zhou Tao's shoulder and said, "Son, dad is proud of you, come, come and play chess with dad." ”

In this way, Zhou Tao stayed at home for the last two days, and at eight o'clock in the morning of the third day, Liang Yuan came to Zhou Tao's house on time.

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to send it, I'll call you often over there, and I'll be back as soon as I'm done with the project!" Zhou Tao, who was carrying a travel bag, opened the security door and said to his parents.

"Son, you must take good care of yourself when you are alone outside, don't be picky when eating, and only when you are full can you have the strength to work!" Zhou's mother looked at her son, her eyes full of reluctance and love.

"Son, do a good job, Dad is optimistic about you, break outside, let's bear what we can, if we can't, we can't be bullied by others!" Father Zhou tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, but his constant advice and actions still exposed the reluctance in his heart.

"I know Dad, I know Mom!" Zhou Tao glanced at his parents deeply, engraved their appearance deeply in his mind, turned around and walked quickly downstairs.

Sitting in the car, two lines of tears flowed down Zhou Tao's cheeks.

The car started and slowly drove out of the community, Zhou Tao quickly adjusted his mentality, pressed his reluctance to the bottom of his heart, opened the window, and let the wind blow his hair.

"Free and wide sky, I'm coming!!"
