Chapter Seventy-One: Brother-in-law
"Alas, Dad, what are you doing, I'm close to my brother-in-law, what kind of military posture do you punish me for?"
Obviously, my uncle's words have a lot of authority in his place, and when I heard my uncle's words, I could clearly feel his body tense.
"They don't know what you're doing, you don't know what you're doing, from childhood to adulthood, when did your little caution escape from Lao Tzu's eyes?"
"Yes, yes, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, the father is wise and powerful, and the son is willing to bow down."
"You don't have a flamboyant tongue with me, and the army taught you this? Give me your squad leader's phone, and I'll ask him how he usually teaches you. ”
The brother-in-law restrained his smile, put his feet together, and checked his dress in a standard military stance. Then he raised his right hand and gave a military salute to his uncle.
"Report to my father, Comrade Lizheng, a soldier of the former XXXX unit, the military district garrison company, and the third squad of the first platoon. Reported to you, please review. ”
The uncle also straightened his look, straightened his collar, stood upright, and returned a military salute.
The two fathers and sons stood opposite each other, their eyes were full of solemnity, and at this moment, everyone present looked solemn and was infected by this solemnity.
Even Tingting in my arms unconsciously held her breath and stared intently at her uncle and cousin. She obviously couldn't understand their behavior, but she was also infected by the atmosphere.
Seeing them, I finally understood why my uncle had such a deep affection for the army, and this kind of inheritance is as deep as his love, right?
"Li Zheng, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation now, why are you here?"
Yaoyao's words broke the solemn atmosphere in an instant, and almost at the same time as her words fell, my poor brother-in-law's plea for mercy reached everyone's ears.
"Sister and sister, tap, tap sister, your ears are about to be pulled out by you."
"I was wrong, sister, you let me go."
"Mom, look at my sister. I'm such an adult, she still pulls my ears, why don't you care about her? ”
"Auntie, help, which of you will save me?"
Everyone present silently watched him call for help, and no one helped him, as if they were immune to this kind of scene.
"Brother-in-law, take care of my sister, if you indulge her again, you won't have a good life in the future."
It seems that he is really in a hurry, and the rescuers have all moved to me, but it is clear that Yaoyao has not treated me like this.
"You should worry about yourself first, your sister won't do this to me, so I don't have anything to worry about."
My words caused everyone to laugh again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Yaoyao let go of her brother-in-law's ears, and then stared at him who was constantly rubbing her ears.
After a long while, he finally couldn't bear Yaoyao's murderous eyes, so he explained in surrender.
"Alright, alright, I surrender, I have known to bully me since I was a child. My internship project was just over, and I was a week away from school, and I couldn't find anything to do, so I came back to see you. ”
"Who knew that I saw a large group of you walking out of the door just after I arrived at the door, so I made a little joke with my brother-in-law, you are too tight-guarded, right?"
"Don't look at who is your own person, you have a boyfriend, and you don't even recognize your own brother?"
"Young man, pick up your luggage, I'm leaving."
The taxi driver's words interrupted the farce, and the brother-in-law jumped behind the taxi in two steps like a frightened rabbit.
While apologizing to the master, he took a huge suitcase off the car. The master was also kind, didn't say much, just waved goodbye to everyone with a smile.
"What are you going to do, I just came back, you all go outside, don't you want to leave me for a big meal?"
The brother-in-law dragged the heavy box back and asked puzzled questions. The timing of his return was really a coincidence, and he might not have been able to meet it even a minute late.
"Who knew you were coming back, and when you came back, you didn't know to call in advance to say it, such a big person is still frizzy when he does things."
"Just like you, which girl will dare to be with you in the future. What's the use of being so big, what's the use of being a soldier for two years, it's not so childish. ”
The aunt counted the unreliability of her brother-in-law, but touched his angular face distressedly.
This brother-in-law is a maverick, and he hasn't been home for three years since he went out, so his aunt hasn't seen him for three years.
finally saw the son she was thinking about, and the brilliance of motherhood was fully released in an instant, and she had already heard a few points from her brother-in-law's words.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and their mothers are worried. Although they know that you are all right outside, when you are really standing in front of you, they will inevitably think that it is not easy for you to be outside.
"Mom, didn't I come to surprise you? I didn't call you on purpose, just to see if you missed me. ”
"But now it seems that I'm disappointed, my sister doesn't hurt, and my mother doesn't love it. It seems that there is no place for me in this home, so I should go back to Shanghai. ”
"You go, no one wants to keep you."
The brother-in-law's words angered Yaoyao again, and he replied to him mercilessly. After speaking, he didn't forget to provoke his brother-in-law and raised his eyebrows, and the posture of winning made everyone present laugh again.
"You, you've been fighting with your sister for so many years, when have you ever won? Alright, don't play tricks here, your little uncle will invite us to dinner tonight. ”
"You take your luggage home and come down by yourself, it's XX. You know the location yourself, and when it's time to tell you which room you're in. ”
So if there is another person in this world who really feels sorry for you, it must be your mother. I think if it were me, I would have started singing in my heart that there is only my mother in the world.
So under the eyes of everyone, the brother-in-law dragged the box to the house step by step. I looked at his slender back and suddenly felt a slight sourness.
He left home at the age of eighteen to go to school and was drafted into the army at the age of nineteen. In the army, starting with the recruit company, almost all the awards that could be won were obtained, and the certificates and medals were filled with a box.
Now that he is 21 years old, he has returned to campus in just one semester to catch up with the learning progress of other students, and it is said that he may graduate early.
is so good, he is just a child in the eyes of everyone at the moment, a child who has been away from home for three years and has not been able to see his family.
Since he was a child, his wealthy family background did not let him develop any bad habits, but he was more strict with himself and went all out at all times.
When Wu Kai told me about Ling Ruoxi's 360-degree excellence, I also thought of my brother-in-law. I think he's probably the kind of 360-degree excellence with no dead ends, right?
Just imagine, since I was a child, I was brainwashed by a group of people with ulterior motives, saying that children in the city are arrogant and habitual, and they are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains, as if they have helped their parents do some farm work in the countryside, as if they are superior to others.
Knowing Yaoyao, Ling Ruoxi and Xie Yiyi, girls who grew up in the city, I know that there is also a kind of life called women who don't let their eyebrows go.
Although Yaoyao is not as capable of taking exams as those two super scholars, her advantages in dealing with people in the world are quite prominent, which is why her little uncle has always let her stand alone in the company.
Similarly, because of the environment in which she was raised, her knowledge is far above mine.
A lot of things I haven't heard of or seen are things she has played with since she was a child. A lot of places I haven't been, and she grew up in them.
What's more, because of the support of her family, she can always move forward. And I had to look ahead because I had no way back, and there were people behind me who needed my protection.
Look at my brother-in-law, with his family background, he has every reason to lie on his father's merit book and enjoy an arrogant life.
But he didn't, he chose to work hard for his own future.
At a time when many rural children are still playing around with the hard-earned money that their parents have worked hard to earn from the assembly line.
He has begun to be self-reliant, not only does he not have to pay living expenses from his family, but even his tuition fees are earned by his own part-time work.
And now he has saved a large amount of savings with the subsidies and various benefits issued by the state after returning from the army.
This deposit was also used by him to start a business with a few like-minded classmates, and while completing his studies, he was still starting a business himself.
There is no need to predict his future anymore, he already has a clear plan for himself and a clear goal.
And he is also moving steadily towards his goal step by step, and I believe that in the future, he will definitely have a bright life.
Thinking of this, I am not only a little embarrassed, if I don't know them, if I haven't seen their lives.
Am I going to be like those who once described them as the Beat Generation, thinking that they are the generation that lives a life of luxury and lasciviousness by relying on the shadow of their parents?
If this is the case, then what should I do to compete with them in the future when I compete with them?
A cold sweat broke out from my back, and I sighed silently, because this thought was deeply ingrained in the hearts of many children who lived in the mountains like me.
Even when I was in school, some of my classmates proudly shouted the slogan that I saw in the examination room. What I want to tell him now is that in the examination room of life, we have lost completely.
"Let's go, let's wait for him at the hotel, he knows the way. Uncle they should arrive in a while, don't keep them waiting. ”
Seeing his brother-in-law's back disappear into the dim light of the street lamp, the uncle retracted his gaze and reminded everyone in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, let's go over first, Xiao Er is such a big person, he knows the way."
Hearing her uncle's reminder, the aunt reluctantly withdrew her gaze and echoed her uncle. Everyone also turned around one after another, only Yaoyao's gaze remained in place, unwilling to take it back for a long time.
I could see the eagerness in her eyes, and I could understand how she was feeling at this time.
This younger brother she watched grow up with a snot in her heart, should still be the stinky boy who follows her like a tail.
"Uncle and aunt, you go over first, Yaoyao and I will wait here for my brother. Uncle and grandpa, they have arrived, please tell them, I will go over later. ”
I know that at this time, Yaoyao definitely doesn't want to leave her younger brother alone, she wants to be here to guard the younger brother she has been guarding.
Naturally, I was also guarding my guard, so I explained my intentions to my uncles and aunts, and at the same time asked them to apologize to the guests.
I don't want the elders to think that I am a descendant with no rules, so let the elders wait for me, which is what I have learned from Yaoyao in the past few years.
In the past, I would never have imagined this, I would only think and decide from my own standpoint.
"Well, it's okay, then let's go over first, you guys wait here for a while. Tingting, do you want to go with your aunt first, my brother and sister are waiting for the second brother here. ”
"No, I'll wait for the second brother too."
Before Auntie finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tingting, pushed away Auntie's outstretched hands, and squeezed them into my arms again.
Seeing that everyone was amused again, since the little guy had made a decision, everyone did not delay, turned around and walked quickly towards the hotel.
When everyone left, Yaoyao immediately stepped forward and hugged my arm. Just as I knew what she wanted, she understood what I was trying to do.
He leaned his head on my shoulder and whispered "thank you" to me. I didn't answer her, but turned my face to look at her, and at this time I looked delicate, where was the big brother who was going to cover me.
The little red face, with low pride, made me can't help but kiss her lightly on the forehead. This action just fell in Tingting's eyes, and she immediately reached out to cover her eyes.
"Brother, shame on your face."
Hearing Tingting's words, Yaoyao also slapped me on the arm and glared at me hatefully.
This time I really miscalculated, and I couldn't help but forget about this little point, so she caught it.
The atmosphere at the scene was so embarrassing that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but fortunately, at this time, a tall figure appeared under the street lamp in the distance, and was running towards us quickly.
Within a minute, my brother-in-law appeared in front of us, breathing rapidly, but still steady.
It seems that it is not boastful to be able to win the ranking in the whole army grappling and fighting, this way over, the speed is not slow, and the intensity is naturally not low.
When he came to us, he took Yaoyao's arm, and her movements were smooth and natural, without any delay. It seems that I usually do this action less, and it also gives me a new understanding of their sister and brother's feelings.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why didn't you leave. I thought you'd all gone, let me go by myself. ”
"Your brother-in-law is afraid that you are afraid of the dark alone, so he is waiting for you here."
Yaoyao looked at his shy appearance and couldn't help but tease him with her doubles. As soon as her words came out, the brother-in-law became even more shy, and rubbed his head on Yaoyao's shoulder.
His action made me feel a chill, if my uncle saw it, it is estimated that he would definitely not be able to run away from today's military posture.
Maybe you have to get started directly and cut him down, where is there a PLA soldier here.
"Let's go, don't be embarrassed here, if you let acquaintances see it, I won't have the face to go home in the future."
After Yaoyao finished speaking, she grabbed my arm and turned around and walked in the direction of the hotel, and my brother-in-law was not ambiguous at all, and continued to hold Yaoyao's arm and follow towards the hotel.
