When the middle-aged woman saw the two long-lost figures at the door, her nagging voice stopped abruptly.

"Mom!"

The two of them lowered their eyelids and shouted with guilt.

“…… You dead boy, you finally know you're back, you remember having my mother! ”

Mother Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then rushed up to Jiang Chao is violent beating.

Jiang Chao didn't dare to move, and Zhu Xing didn't dare to move.

This time lent him a hundred dares, and he didn't dare to run.

The mother was not too excited, and the father turned off the lights and sat here waiting, which showed that all this was arranged by the old fox uncle.

"Comrade Liu Hongying, if you have enough trouble, go back to your room and sleep, I still have something to tell them." Father Jiang snuffed out half of the cigarette he had smoked in the glass jar.

Listening to the tone, it is estimated that I will inevitably be taught an ideological and political lesson again.

"You already knew he was secretly going to join the army, didn't you? Didn't I say that? I don't allow him to join the army, I just want him to be a doctor in peace! Be a doctor!! ”

Mother Jiang's emotions suddenly became excited, and she pointed at Zhu Xing and said, "Did you let him go to the special brigade?" said that after Zhu Xing was discharged from the army, he would come back to help his father manage the Chinese medicine hall, why do you always have to disagree with me?

Don't you know how bitter and dangerous it is? I don't want them to take risks, I don't want to look down on them, I don't want them to be away from home all year round, you know? ”

Mother Jiang roared with a sad expression, and suddenly squatted on the ground to hide her face and wept.

"I don't understand! But you don't understand it, it's their own choice! I pressed him for 23 years, did he understand?

Alas, so not! I don't argue with you, you go and rest, staying up late is not good for your health......"

Father Jiang turned his face away, unwilling to quarrel with his lover anymore, and motioned to the two "wooden men" to close the door.

"Mom, I've grown up and have my own choices, and I think the special brigade is very suitable for me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stick to it! Go to sleep! I promise you that every day I will be at home with you, cooking and doing laundry for you! ”

Jiang Chao helped his mother up, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, and pleaded in a low voice.

If this argument continues, they will probably stand at the door until dawn tonight.

"I know you're deliberately colluding to me off. Your wings are stiff, so do whatever you want. I don't bother to care about you anymore! ”

Mother Jiang opened his hand, turned around and went back to the bedroom in a huff.

Father Jiang sighed and walked towards them, those chilling eyes made their hearts furious.

Jiang Chao closed his eyes in pain, ready to be slapped and kicked.

"This year, I am 56 years old, and as a veteran military doctor and scientific researcher, my energy is not as good as before.

So, after all, this world is still your young people's, but it's a pity that in the end you still walked on my old path! ”

On their faces, a large calloused hand gently stroked them, and an inexplicable temperature suddenly surged into their hearts.

“？？？”

Didn't even do it?

In Jiang Chao's memory, as long as his father found out that he was lazy and didn't endorse, he would be beaten.

It is no exaggeration to say that medical achievements are all based on "beating".

Fortunately, when I was a child, I spent a little more time with my grandparents.

Wait, his old way...... Isn't he just an old Chinese medicine doctor?

"Originally, I didn't plan to say it, but now that it's over, I still want to talk to you, otherwise I'm afraid you'll make a mistake.

Come here, sit down and talk. After thinking for a moment, Father Jiang walked to the sofa and sat down.

Jiang Chao and Zhu Xing didn't dare to come out, but walked to him suspiciously and stood up straight.

Don't dare to sit.

Father Jiang took a sip of water and said slowly: "A long time ago, I went to join the army when I was about 16 years old. At that time, our country was still very poor, most people were hungry, and many rural children went to join the army just to have enough to eat.

And I, your grandfather personally sent me to join the army.

He said that a good man should join the army, become a military doctor, engage in scientific research and serve the motherland!

On that day, I followed the troops on a green train for seven days and eight nights, and finally came to the northern region, and then came and went to other extremely cold places.

The conditions in the north are difficult, with heavy winds and snowfall, and a long time. I'm a native of the South, and I don't fit in at all. Therefore, even if I am a doctor, I will get some minor problems due to the harsh environment.

Because of this, I have to work hard to develop a medicine for all kinds of water and soil inadequacy.

In fact, not only the environment, but also the diet in the north is also different, they don't eat rice, and their three meals a day are buds, noodles, steamed buns, etc.

I can't get used to it.

I remember one year in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we still ate chaff, but a comrade-in-arms from a privileged family spat the chaff in his mouth on the ground because he was not used to eating.

When the squad leader found out, he loudly criticized him and ordered him to pick it up and eat it up immediately!

The comrade-in-arms knelt down crying, picked up all the chaff and poop that was spit on the ground and stained with mud and sand, and ate it before stopping!

The company commander said that this meal is called eating bran and remembering bitterness, so that everyone can remember history!

Then, the cooking class brought in a pot of snow-white rice!

Our southern soldiers naturally had their eyes shining, and I ate my stomach like a ball......

It was the first time I ate white rice in three years in the north, and I'll never forget that scene......"

Speaking of this, Jiang's father suddenly choked up and stopped, then lit another cigarette and continued: "When I was 21 years old, the Dragon Kingdom experienced a brutal counterattack, and the country at that time did not have good weapons, and many of them were accidentally injured and killed by their own weapons.

In addition, the soldiers of our Dragon Kingdom are also benevolent and righteous teachers, so they are often attacked and assassinated by women, children and children of Country Y, resulting in more than 10,000 casualties among the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom......

At that time, after receiving the combat notice from my superiors, the military region where I belonged was lying down with guns in full armor, and that night we were so frightened that our legs were weak and our hearts were terrified.

In the early morning of the next day, we went to the battlefield in high spirits!

After going to the battlefield, there was no fear in my heart at all! We have only the only belief in rushing forward and winning the battle!

We must drive out all those devils who invaded the country! Even if we sacrifice, we must turn into heroic spirits to guard the borders of the motherland!

In that battle, there was a comrade-in-arms and I who were fellow countrymen, and he was killed by a woman from country Y who pretended to be pitiful......

Later, I killed people when I saw them, because I knew that to be merciful to my enemies was to be cruel to myself!

At that time, I was the only military doctor in the whole company, and I had to rescue the wounded and charge desperately...... But I have no regrets!

After the end of this vicious battle, although our army was victorious, it also suffered a lot of losses......

The scar on my abdomen was blown up by a grenade.

At that time, our detachment was ambushed, and shrapnel pierced my stomach and my intestines came out......

But I survived, but my comrades who were walking in front of me were killed on the spot.

He's only seventeen years old, and he's only been in the army for a year......

And my company commander, a young man in his thirties from the north, applied for a job change in advance because his family was very poor.

After he took leave to go back and get married, he was notified that he was going to fight only a week after he came to the army.

That night he turned white......

Then he gave his life for his country.

His military uniform pocket also contained their wedding photo, and the girl in the photo was smiling like a flower......

I also have a comrade-in-arms who is also a fellow countryman, the same age as me, and the young man loves to laugh.

He lost both legs in that battle, and his hometown was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, and the whole family counted on him to be a soldier and have something to eat......

The year your grandfather died, I asked for leave to go back to the funeral, and went to see him by the way, a fifty-year-old man who was a lonely old man, with a head of vicissitudes of white hair, living like an eighty-year-old man!

He sat in a wheelchair every day, looking at the blue sky and muttering to himself, tired, resting in that simple adobe house, and only an old yellow dog accompanied him!

Fortunately, his nephew volunteered to take care of him, and the people of the village, out of admiration for him, took turns to take care of his daily life.

When I shouted "Lao Li" in a trembling voice, he screamed and wanted to stand up and salute, but fell out of his wheelchair......

That day, we sat on the ground, hugged our heads and cried for three hours......

I don't know how many of these comrades-in-arms are sealed in the reincarnation of history, and no matter how hard I try, I can't find any information about them......"

Father Jiang unbuttoned his shirt, pointed to the black and thick scar on his lower abdomen, and choked with tears streaming down his face.

"I was also shot in the shoulder blade in a later battle, and I knew how to save myself, so I survived.

But I often wonder why I wasn't the one who died! At least your grandfather was a doctor, so you don't have to worry about going hungry for the rest of your life!

Why did it take my hard-working comrades to sacrifice their lives......"

Father Jiang ripped off his collar again, revealing a bullet-sized scar on his shoulder.

Tears wet his shirt, printing dark and strong but scarred chest muscles, and the shocking scars seem to tell the dusty history......

"Later, I went back to the south. At that time, I had saved several years' salary, ten dollars! I bought a ginseng over there to replenish my frail grandmother, but when I returned, she was already lying in the mountains and sleeping......

In 1988, the Southern Military Region established the "Southern Sword" Special Brigade, the first special force of the People's Liberation Army of the Dragon Kingdom.

I was appointed the first political commissar and chief military doctor of the military district.

I was 32 years old and you were almost 1 year old.

Because I was busy forming a special brigade, I couldn't go home when your mother was pregnant and gave birth!

When you were more than a year old, when I came back to visit my relatives, you refused to let me hug me, and cried when you saw me......

I didn't grow up with you, I didn't accompany your mother, and I didn't accompany my parents, and I always feel guilty for that.

But I am a soldier, the country needs me, the people need me!

I can't give up everyone for the sake of my small family!

Our family is another five generations of single inheritance, so I have high hopes for you, so I have been particularly harsh and strict with you since I was a child!

I listened to your mother, and I didn't want you to follow this old path, so I forced you to study Chinese medicine, so that I could take over the ancestral Chinese medicine hall in the future.

Your peace and security is your mother's greatest wish.

Every time I see you studying so hard, I will secretly wipe away my tears......

Every time you participate in the TCM debate competition, I have never been absent, but you don't see it......

However, it backfired! ”

After Jiang's father finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves painfully, revealing a scar on his right elbow that was the length of chopsticks and the width of his fingers.

Jiang Chao remembered this scar, and asked him when he was a child, and he said that it was caused by wrestling, and it turned out to be ......

"Your Captain Ye and I are also comrades-in-arms, we were born and died together, and we participated in the Dragon Kingdom counterattack together.

Later, he stayed in the special brigade, as well as your squadron leader Wang Changming, who was a soldier I led when I was a battalion commander in the reconnaissance brigade.

You must think it is strange, how can I, a military doctor, still lead the army? In the era of war, it doesn't matter if you are a military doctor or a gang leader, as long as you have excellent skills, you have to go to the front line, and it is not strange that soldiers with multiple positions are not surprised.

The predecessor of the Southern Sword Special Brigade is actually the Southern Reconnaissance Brigade. After the establishment of the special brigade, Wang Changming and Jin Long were admitted one after another.

This scar of mine was left 12 years ago when I went to fight on the border of Y City with Wang Squadron, and he should have told you a little bit about Y City.

At that time, a total of 12 people, including me, went there, and Wang Squadron was the leader of the second group of snipers at that time.

The internationally wanted black cat is treacherous and cunning, and uses local women and children in Y City as hostages to threaten us......

When Xiao Wang was sniping the black cat, the leader of the armed drug dealer, the black cat was also sniping at him, and when the bullets were staggered, I used my body to protect him!

As I flew over, two bullets hit my right hand at the same time, and then the golden dragon detonated a time bomb, and shrapnel sliced through my right hand......

We won by a big margin.

If I hadn't been from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and I couldn't save myself in an emergency, I guess this arm would be useless now, and once an infection occurs, I would now be hanging on the wall for future generations to pay homage to the martyrs.

The 85 sniper that Xiao Wang gave you is the second life that has fought with me countless times and killed hundreds of enemies!

You and I were also one of the best sharpshooters in the army at that time!

Therefore, you secretly joined the army and were then taken away by Wang Changming, it is probably all providence!

In fact, they have been clamoring for me to send you to join the army, but your mother disagreed, and I never agreed.

Now that I think about it, everything was God's best arrangement, and you finally chose the same old path as me.

Alas, I can't bear to let you go to the army, but I can't help it, who let you have my blood in your veins!

When you're an adult, it's time for you to make your own choices.

Back then, after several major battles, I was the number one target for criminals to take revenge.

When your mother was working at Xiangcheng Hospital, she was warned several times by unknown people.

Your grandfather's Chinese medicine hall has also been splashed with red paint by bad guys, and even smashed the shop......

For the sake of your personal safety, I took the initiative to apply for transfer from the special brigade, and later I was transferred to the division headquarters, and now I am the director of the Biological Research Institute of the Military Department!

In the past 40 years, I have been a kid who began to memorize medical books at the age of 5, then went to the army to fight at the age of 16, and then went from the medical corps to the special forces, and finally to the major general, which is enough!

I don't want to go up again!

I just want to do my job well and serve the country for the rest of my life! My heart is still the same as that of a twenty-year-old! I think these honors should go to the martyrs who died and the veterans who are suffering from illness!

I love the Dragon Country, I love the Special Brigade, and I love everything about the barracks.

There is my youth and blood, there is my dream of the military camp, and there is my comrade-in-arms of life and death!

Did you know that the only three comrades-in-arms I had contact with had cancer this year.

He's only 53 years old! You know him, it's the tall Uncle Jian, and he said that he wanted to marry his daughter to you, so why did he leave after saying that......

Tell me, what do I want this reputation for? Why don't I learn from them and enjoy their families? It's been a long, long time since I've had a drink or chat with them, and I'm afraid I'll never see them again, and I'll never see them again......

I just want to plunge into the institute now, I don't want to come out, I don't want to stop, as long as I stop, my mind is full of pictures of the year, woo! ”

When Jiang's father said that he was sad, he suddenly covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly.

Hot tears flowed from his rough and wide fingers, and the hoarse voice echoed in Jiang Chao's ears for a long time.

It was as if he had gone back a long time, when he was very young.

Uncle Jian and Uncle Tang always brought home-brewed rice wine and farmhouse fruits grown in the field to their homes to pay New Year's greetings.

Every time my father was happy, they would get drunk and sit in their study and talk about the past......

Later, I basically couldn't see them coming, and my father became busier and busier, and there was no smile on his face......

It turned out that he still had these legendary experiences, but Jiang Chao never knew about it!

"Dad! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before, I always felt that you were too harsh on me, and you didn't care about your family......

I apologize to you! ”

Jiang Chao choked up, wanting to hug his gray-haired father.

A strand of white hair on the back of his head stood out in the light.

"Child, it's all over, Dad doesn't blame you."

Father Jiang sighed, wiped the tears from his face with his hand and said.

"Dad, am I being tricked by you? No wonder Squadron Wang beat me so hard, could it be that you beat him like that back then? ”

Jiang Chao slapped his head and said loudly.

“………”

Father Jiang was speechless, this stupid son's brain circuit is really different from ordinary people.

"Haha, if you don't say anything, you will acquiesce, when I go back to the special brigade, he will beat me again, and I will expose it!"

Jiang Chao grinned, and sure enough, he succeeded in leading the old father who fell into the memory astray.

"Dad, thank you for teaching me all the time, without your love and support, I might not be who I am now.

Rest assured, I will train hard and I won't let you down! Zhu Xing suddenly howled and cried.

In his heart, Jiang's father is his own father, because the Jiang family makes up for his lack of love for his original family, so, deep in his heart, he is a member of the Jiang family.

Once he also mentioned that he wanted to change his surname, but was stopped by Jiang's father, saying that the surname is not important, the important thing is to cultivate what kind of person he will become in the future!

"Xing, I am very pleased that you can enter the special brigade on your own and have today's results. But I am so excited and worried to see you all come together again because of your dreams.

You are still young, and the road ahead is very long, and it is nothing to suffer a little now. But you remember to me that when you encounter difficulties in the future, you must not give up easily, otherwise I will break your dog's legs!

Also, I heard from your uncle about your affairs in Shenzhen, and you behaved very well, not only did you not be proud, but also quietly ran away after completing the task, which is very good.

Finally, I would like to remind Chaochao again, originally men and women were free to fall in love, I shouldn't interfere, but Lin Xue, you can't date again.

The Lin family may have been involved in improper business, and her relatives even asked me for help when they took advantage of you and hers, but I refused.

I'm talking to you tonight because I'm worried that you will be uncertain after you go to Shenzhen! After all, you're still too young!

Especially you, Jiang Chao! You have been rebellious and stubborn since you were a child! Your grandfather and grandmother spoil you in every way, so I hope that after a long conversation tonight, you will all be good at yourself and firm in your faith!

I won't say much else.

Remember: under no circumstances can you make mistakes! If I make a mistake, I will not be merciful!

You must always remember that you are a soldier of the Dragon Country, and you are responsible for the safety of the motherland and the people! You are the last line of defense for the Motherland!

Do you understand? ”

Father Jiang got up, looked at them with firm eyes and said.

"Understood!"

The two of them shouted with their heads held high.

The father in front of him was suddenly different, his thin figure was so tall and majestic!

They had never heard of anything that my father had said tonight.

My mother didn't talk about it, my grandparents didn't talk about it, and my grandparents and uncles didn't talk about it.

Jiang Chao always thought that his father was a workaholic who often didn't go home, just a little military doctor in the General Hospital of the Xiangcheng Military Region, but he couldn't imagine that he had such awe-inspiring heroic deeds, and he had brushed shoulders with death so many times, and silently admitted so much suffering!

Jiang Chao was shocked, heartbroken, and regretful, hating himself for misunderstanding his father for so long and resenting him for so long!

It turned out that my father had always known it, but he didn't want to put pressure on himself!

It turns out that as a hero's son, it is so cautious to have a heavy father's love!

"Salute!"

The two burst into tears and saluted Jiang's father with a standard military salute.

"Rite over!"

Father Jiang returned the salute, and after the vicissitudes of life and the weather, there was finally a smile on his face.

Veterans never die, they only slowly wither.
