Zheng Zhendong returned home, and Zheng's mother asked with a smile while cooking.

"Third child, angry? Now the resentment you were beaten before is gone, right? ”

Zheng Zhendong asked his mother with a puzzled face: "Mom, why didn't you go out just now?" I thought you were going to stop me! ”

Zheng's mother, who was cooking vegetables, heard her son say this, and looked at him with a kind face.

"If I just went out, who would clean up if something happened in the back, and besides, it's not easy to bully everyone in the courtyard to see our family, so I didn't stop you."

Zheng Zhendong suddenly realized when he heard this, nodded and continued to ask.

"Then aren't you afraid that I won't be able to beat Jia Dongxu and suffer a loss?"

Zheng Mu pursed her lips and said, "With Jia Dongxu's small physique, you can't beat him anymore, haven't you practiced military physical boxing for so many years in vain!" ”

"Alright, go get your sister back, and get ready for dinner!"

Zheng Zhendong called back his sister Zheng Xinyi from He's house, and the mother and son began to eat.

……

After a few days like this, Zheng Zhendong honestly stayed at home with his sister, didn't go anywhere, and went to talk to Silly Zhu if he had nothing to do.

Silly Zhu has been very depressed these days, and when he came back that day, he said that his master couldn't come back for a year and a half, and he couldn't learn this craft for the time being.

It is said that when Jia Zhang's family came back the day after the fight, he first made a fuss for a while, and when he saw that the Zheng family ignored him, he went to find Yi Zhonghai again.

Yi Zhonghai persuaded Jia Zhang for a long time before persuading Jia Zhang to go home, but the look in Zheng Zhendong's eyes was not right in the past few days.

……

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, before noon on the day of the new year, a young man in military uniform asked from the front yard whether the Zheng family lived.

Uncle Chen in the front yard looked at this soldier and guessed.

"You are the boss of the Zheng family, I heard your mother say that you are coming back a few days ago, go in quickly, your brother Dongzi should be at home!"

As he spoke, he shouted when he sent Zheng Zhenguo to the door of Zheng's house.

"Dongzi, come out quickly, look who's back!"

Zheng Zhendong heard Uncle Chen's shout, hurriedly ran out of the house, and saw the eldest brother in front of him shouting excitedly.

"Big brother! You're back, we all miss you so much, especially Mom worries about you every day, if she knows how happy you are coming back today! ”

Zheng Zhenguo looked at the excited third brother, and his heart was also very excited, and he asked.

"Third, what about our mother and little sister, why didn't you see anyone?"

Zheng Zhendong was just about to reply, when Uncle Chen, who was standing on the side, said.

"Brothers, don't talk outside, let's go home and talk about it!"

After speaking, he said to Zheng Zhendong: "Hurry up and let your brother go home to rest, you must be tired of this dusty journey!" ”

Zheng Zhendong first introduced Uncle Chen, then took the luggage in the eldest brother's hand, and after the eldest brother met Uncle Chen, he led the eldest brother home.

When the brothers returned home, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly poured a glass of water for the eldest brother and handed it to the eldest brother.

Seeing the eldest brother sitting on the chair, Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but think that he was still training people in the army.

Zheng Zhenguo took a sip of water, and then asked.

"The third child, what about my mother and little sister? I asked you just now, but you didn't say anything! ”

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said: "Mom went to work, Uncle Zhang gave me the job I was looking for, working in the Women's Federation of the rolling mill, and I won't be able to come back until the afternoon." ”

"As for the little sister, I guess I'm playing with a few little girls in the yard, and I'll come back for dinner in a while!"

Zheng Zhenguo nodded and asked again.

"How's the family doing since moving here, nothing has happened, right?"

Hearing the eldest brother's question, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said.

"It's good, big brother, you don't have to worry about us, I'm older now, I can take care of the family, don't worry."

After saying that, he continued to ask.

"Big brother, how are you, have you been promoted in the army?"

Zheng Zhenguo smiled, and then said happily.

"The third child, I haven't seen you for a few years, now you can, the year I went to the army, you were still ignorant, how long will it take you to take care of your family, it's really good!"

"As for my current position, I just mentioned the main row before I came back, and if this guy is in front of me, he has to salute me, did he write a letter?"

Hearing the eldest brother mention the second brother, Zheng Zhendong was puzzled, and thought about finding the second brother's letter and handing it to the eldest brother.

Zheng Zhenguo took the letter and read it, and after reading and putting down the letter, he was silent for a long time, sighed and said.

"This second child, this time he walked in front of me, but the second child is indeed good, worthy of being our father's son, and he didn't embarrass his old man!"

When Zheng Zhendong heard his eldest brother say this, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and then he couldn't help but speak.

"Big brother, don't tell me, you're also going to the peninsula to fight the ugly country, right?"

Zheng Zhenguo nodded and said, "I should go after the New Year, this time I came back with the troops, the team will take a break for a while, and wait for the transfer order from above!" ”

Zheng Zhendong thought for a while and said to his eldest brother: "Big brother, don't tell your mother about your trip to the peninsula, my mother was sad for a long time when I received the letter from my second brother last time, and this time you... Ay! ”

After sighing, Zheng Zhendong continued.

"You are going to go this time, I don't know what our mother will be sad about, let her live a few days of peace of mind!"

Zheng Zhenguo nodded and agreed, and then preached to Zheng Zhendong.

"Third brother, your second brother and I are both unfilial sons, and we can't be filial in front of our mother, fortunately, there are still you, can I ask you for something?"

When Zheng Zhendong heard his eldest brother say this, he asked curiously.

"Hey, big brother, we are brothers, what do you want or not, you can just say something."

Zheng Zhenguo said to Zheng Zhendong with a little difficulty.

"Third child, don't be a soldier in the future, I know this request is too cruel for you."

"After all, your dream since childhood is to put on a military uniform, take a steel gun and go to war, but now I do ask you to give up this idea."

"But in the future, our mother needs someone to take care of her in the future, so if you and I ...... it"

"No case, you and the second brother will definitely be fine!"

Without waiting for the eldest brother to finish speaking, Zheng Zhendong hurriedly interrupted him.

"Okay, even if there is no case, but your second brother and I are in the army all the year round, and we don't have time to take care of our mother!" Zheng Zhenguo said helplessly.

Through the dusty memories of the original owner, it was a scene in the early summer of 43, when two teenagers and a small child climbed to a tree with crooked necks.

At this time, there was a loud trumpet sound on the road, and a neat team appeared in the field of vision of the three people from far and near.

It turned out that our army had just won the battle, and the troops were returning to the garrison with high morale and passing by here.

The three of them were envious, and the child was the first to shout.

"When I grow up, I will become a soldier, and I will win battles like them!"

After saying that, when he went home, he begged his father to recuperate at home.

The father was very pleased to hear this, and said that when the child grew up, he would personally send him to serve as a soldier.

At this time, the two teenagers who ran back said that they also wanted to be soldiers, and their father agreed and trained the three children.

The three children gritted their teeth and persevered in the training, and did not give up until their father died.

Soon the eldest brother left as a soldier and went to his father's original team, and later the second brother also went to the army, leaving only the child himself, and that child was the original owner Zheng Zhendong.
