In the fifty-fifth year of the Apricot Moon of the Huazhou National Calendar, more than half a year has passed since that terrible key disaster. Except for the quarantined people suffering from purple eye key disease, the rest of the people who fled have returned one after another. A stable and comfortable life will always be accompanied by more joys of life, so that some survivors can quickly forget the turmoil and hardships of the past.

Shi Liang, who had not returned home for a long time, was on duty again to rest, and after more than half a year of recuperation, the young man's body had once again recovered to be as strong as ever. It has been more than two months since Shi Liang returned to the camp this time, and in addition to the training on weekdays, there are too many complicated military affairs that he needs to deal with.

The casualties in the battle of the eastern defense line were too heavy, and the remaining soldiers of Yujieyi were really pitiful. Not counting the five-person squad of the Ziyan Division, which was just temporarily stationed and stabilized the regional order, the original team of eight heavy armored platoons in the camp now has less than ten people left, and the two platoons of recruits who deal with miscellaneous affairs, Hongjia and Changfu, because they did not go to the front line, suffered fewer casualties, but only seven people remained.

Due to his meritorious service on the battlefield, Lu Pei was officially appointed as the head of the Yujie Post by Huang Yan's division under the recommendation of Teng Yue, the head of the cluster. This acting head Li Yong gave up his life and did not get the position, but now it was won by the young Lu Pei, and Wu Sanqi was naturally overjoyed, and he was even more attentive to several commanders of Ziyan Division. But he was immediately beaten by life again, and it was precisely because of Zi Yan's interference in the appointment and dismissal of the Third Division that it directly led to the high-level of Huang Yan's division no longer arranging personnel to supplement the Yujieyi that had been damaged and withered.

Overstretched is the most intuitive embodiment of the current camp work. Fortunately, after all, there is the highest level of combat power in the country's post camp today, and it can barely maintain it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The ridges of the village houses in Yangjiawan are still the same as in the past, and most of the barren fields outside the village have been turned over again.

Shi Liang walked lightly, walked briskly in a few steps, and came all the way to Shi Guangzhong's tombstone. Shi Hua, who accompanied Gao Rou to the Jiang Lan clan's land, still hasn't returned, and Shi Liang can only use the rest time to come over from time to time. Without the cleaning on weekdays, the tomb will be somewhat dusty.

"Second uncle, tomorrow I will officially join the heavy armor battalion." The man muttered to himself as he plucked out a few budding grass sprouts that had just sprouted from the crack in the stone, and then took out a small broom hidden in the corner and gently dusted off the dust on the stele.

After cleaning up, the man said again: "A few days ago, I received a brief letter from Xiaolan in the post house, which said that Xiaomei was already on the way back, and I believe that it won't be long before she can come to see you in person, don't be too anxious." As he spoke, he thought of something again, and turned his head, "By the way, uncle, I heard Teng Tuanshou say that you were also a warrior of the Ziyan Division before, which is really amazing!" I've heard that the soldiers of the Ziyan Division alone can fight against a thousand. originally thought it was an exaggeration, but once Teng Tuan rose up and made a move with Lu Xingshou in the martial arts arena, but he subdued the perverted old five in an instant. You must have been very good back then. ”

The man had already put away the broom as he spoke, turned back to the tombstone, raised his head and looked at Shi Guangzhong's name on the tablet, and said firmly: "Second uncle, I will definitely join the Ziyan Division in the future!" At this moment, Shi Liang's eyes flashed with incomparable firmness, which was the light of yearning for the future.

"Ah——!h At this moment, there was a coquettish cry from behind the man, and then a gust of fragrant wind rushed in, "Brother Xiaoliang, I knew you would come here first!" Mu Yan, a girl who looked more and more beautiful after carefully dressing up, had already thrown down the small bamboo basket that she was carrying lightly on her soft shoulder, and suddenly threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her.

Since this little girl was rescued by Shi Liang, she has been by the man's side like a liar. Over time, the two got along almost like family. The man was also accustomed to it, and patted the girl's hair: "Didn't you hear that there are many ghost fires in this tomb, and you don't want to come here on weekdays, why do you have the courage to come here alone today?" ”

After the epidemic, it was naturally no longer suitable to accommodate female dependents in the military camp, so Shi Liang took her back to the second uncle's house. Although there is only one girl in the family, fortunately, many of the villagers who fled and left in Yangjiawan have returned home one after another after the disaster subsided. After all, they are all relatives with a strip of water, and Shi Liang and Yang Hao are even more enthusiastic about them when they encounter great disasters, so everyone is quite fond of the little girl that Shi Liang brought home.

This girl was originally born with a fair skin, a simple mind, and after a little combing, she is as glamorous and delicate as a ceramic doll, far from being comparable to a girl in the countryside. Scarcity is expensive, and the sister-in-law in the village also likes it very much, and often jokes, laughing that Mu Yan is "the little daughter-in-law picked up by Xiao Liang". Whenever it was mentioned, the girl just blushed in shame, pouted and ran away, but there was no argument.

"It's not your rest today, I've calculated the days." The little girl said, letting go of her hands holding Shi Liang in her arms, and turned around, "How is it, am I looking good today?" ”

"Good looking is good looking." Shi Liang nodded and pinched his nose, "It's just too fragrant, why are you still dressed up like this when you come to the grave, not afraid that the colored ghost will follow you home?" ”

"Hmph, I'll ignore you." The petite and touching girl pouted, walked back to the bamboo basket by herself, took some wild flowers picked on the way from the inside, respectfully placed them in front of the second uncle's tombstone, and then bowed very carefully, and quickly jumped back to Shi Liang as if she was very afraid.

Shi Liang looked at Mu Yan's cautious appearance, smiled and continued: "I still need to go to my parents' place to see, why don't you go back first?" ”

"No, I'm with you." The girl put her arms around the man and replied nervously.

About an hour later, the two of them finished sweeping Shi Liang's relatives and walked together on the ridge home.

Mu Yan is still carrying the small bamboo basket she brought, walking in front, often seeing beautiful wildflowers, she trots and goes to pick, bouncing and lively. Shi Liang walked at the end without hurrying or slowing, smelling the familiar earthy fragrance in the field, but he saw the girl in front of him trotting a few steps, came to a bunch of wild grass and flowers, bent down, suddenly turned around suddenly, and said proudly with a pink fist: "I just told my uncle and aunt, Brother Xiaoliang bullied me and let them beat you in a dream at night, ah!" This looks good! ”

Shi Liang, who was in a good mood, could take care of her so naïve, at this time, he was picking some flower stems in his hand and pounding the garland there. "Then it looks like I'll have to throw it away!" When the man heard this, he deliberately straightened his face and made a gesture to throw away the work in his hand that was about to be completed.

How dare the girl look at him doing bad again, she hurriedly ran back, and then grabbed Shi Liang's arm, and said with a smile: "No, no! Hee-hee, I lied to you, Brother Xiaoliang is the best. As he spoke, he skillfully snatched the garland that had been completed, put it on his slender neck, and then shook Shi Liang's arm and said, "Am I good-looking?" ”

While talking and laughing, I saw the second uncle of the Yang family standing up from the vegetable rack field not far away with a hoe, and saw the two people who were still frolicking from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Yo! Trabeculae is back. This sudden shout startled the young man and woman, who were originally a little intimate, and hurriedly separated a little distance.

Lao Yang Tou is naturally also a 'person who came over', and joked at the right time: "When did you get married with your little daughter-in-law?" But the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the little girl Mu Yan suddenly froze in place, her face was blushing, but she was holding her ears and listening carefully to how the man beside her replied.

Shi Liang was also embarrassed when he heard this, but after all, he was also a good man who had been in the army for a long time and had gone through ups and downs, how could he be frightened by this sentence, and replied: "Second Uncle Yang, don't be ashamed of me, in the army, there is no tomorrow today, and I still don't dare to think about this talk about marriage." This girl in my family is the daughter of a good family, and she definitely can't delay others like this. ”

"Humph!" Mu Yan, who was listening to the words beside her, hurriedly stomped her foot when she heard this, but she was no longer willing to pay attention to the stupid man behind her, she glanced at Shi Liang inexplicably, and then sped up her pace all the way, and trotted back home with a sulking voice.

Shi Liang only said that Mu Yan was embarrassed by the second uncle of the Yang family, and he was embarrassed and angry, and looked at the second uncle Yang helplessly, spread his hands, and persuaded: "Second uncle, don't mention it again next time, this little girl in my family is very thin-skinned." ”

On the contrary, the second uncle of the Yang family was anxious, patted his thigh, and hurriedly said: "Look at it, look at it, go chase it, you big fool." ”

By the time Shi Liang walked back to his second uncle's house from outside, Mu Yan was already skillfully lighting a fire and burning wood in the kitchen. The man couldn't help but remember that he had just rescued her and took her back to this home, this stubborn little girl hid in the kitchen alone, and was stunned for a long time, smearing her face with charcoal black, and then she had no choice but to come out and ask Shi Liang: "Why does this fire always extinguish itself, and it can't be lit!" "The ridiculous appearance of the time.

Everything in the house is the same as before, but now there are a lot of various flowers and plants on the wooden table and coffee table. Shi Hua didn't have such leisure before, and Xiao Lan didn't care about these things, so the comparison highlighted the quiet elegance of the female guest.

"Xiao Liang, are you back?" A shout interrupted the man's thoughts, and it was the third aunt next door who walked in from outside the door carrying a rice basket, "Your little daughter-in-law came to knock on the door early in the morning and asked me to cook some good food, No." As he spoke, he laid the basket on the table. Three side dishes, a pot of rice and a jar of soup, the man opened it and saw that it was all his favorite food.

Mu Yan's little lady naturally doesn't know how to make a fire to cook, except for the fact that she can be a student, she only has a little appearance of adding fire and burning some water, and she probably goes to the neighbor's third aunt's house to eat on weekdays. Of course, Shi Liang has already given enough money for meals in advance. The old woman's children died early, and she was a companion in this epidemic, and now she is lonely, and she has always been lonely on weekdays.

As she was talking, Mu Yan had already walked out of the back kitchen, but she was holding a small wooden basin in her hand, and walked up to Shi Liang like a treasure, and said proudly: "Third aunt, Brother Xiaoliang, come and taste it, this is the cucumber I just made!" ”

Shi Liang is also very strange, and when he looks at the pot, it is the pieces of different sizes, which are mixed together indiscriminately, although it looks relatively crude at first glance, it still has some appearance.

The third aunt naturally took a look at this little girl's quite complacent side dishes, but she patted the girl lightly with her hand, and said with a smile: "You girl, you have memorized the other steps, and it's okay, but did you forget to pat it with the back of the knife before cutting?" ”

The little woman was shocked when she heard this, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Ah, what can I do about this, why don't I fish it out and shoot it again?" Third aunt, do you think it can be done? ”

The third aunt took the basin with a smile, walked into the kitchen, and said with a smile: "No need, no need, I'll help you chop up the big pieces inside, and it's okay, it's much better than when I taught you last time." ”

"Thank you, Sangu!" The girl's face was a little blushing, and she still thanked the third aunt who had already remedied it in the kitchen, but she glanced at Shi Liang, who was laughing and laughing beside her.

Mu Yan manages this house very well, and the house is well organized. Especially when eating with Shi Liang, this little woman seemed to be a hostess, chattering to the man sitting next to her about the shortcomings of her parents in recent days.

Shi Liang was holding the rice served by the girl, and listened carefully to her story that in the past ten days, several families have come back after taking refuge. I was also emotional, but I didn't know where my little sister had gone.

"A few days ago, Xiaolan wrote to me, saying that my Shi Hua was already on her way home, if she went home first, you should remember to come to the Jade Festival Post to inform me." The man specially instructed, looked up and saw Mu Yan stunned for a moment, and only nodded lightly after a while, then took a piece of meat from the dish plate and stuffed it into the girl's bowl, "Come, this is what you like." ”

"Sister Xiaolan, do you have any news?" The girl didn't seem to care, and asked timidly after a moment.

"Well, I think I'm back in the clan." Shi Liang nodded, it had been half a year since he had been separated, and he didn't know how Xiaolan was doing. Perhaps, I should keep her. I don't know when it started, but the man had this idea in his heart.

"Will she ever come back?" Mu Yan is actually most concerned about this matter.

Shi Liang shook his head and said a little stunned: "I don't know, when she left, she told me that she might have to leave for a long time." ”

Compared with the man's loss, the girl was already a little gloomy at this time, but comforted Shi Liang and said, "It's okay Brother Xiaoliang, at least I will accompany you." ”

The girl's affection is sincere, which naturally makes Shi Liang particularly moved, Mu Yan's heart is not a grass and tree, how can he not understand, but he has already carved a beautiful shadow in his heart, and he can't hurt the good girl in front of him.

"Thank you." Shi Liang lowered his head and ate his meal seriously.
