The jeep stopped at the entrance of the village, the door opened, and Song Hongqi, who was wearing a military uniform, stepped out of the car.

"Brother!"

Shu Ange shouted first, and Song Hongxing looked at the tall and mighty eldest brother timidly, not daring to call anyone.

"It's so hot, why are you waiting outside?"

Song Hongqi patted Shu Ange on the shoulder, then squatted down and hugged Song Hongxing: "Hongxing, don't you recognize your brother?" ”

Suddenly lifted high by the eldest brother, Song Hongxing screamed and hugged Song Hongqi's arm, and shouted with a red face: "Big brother, my father and mother are waiting for you at home." ”

"Is this your brother? The human is quite clever. ”

Black leather shoes, straight military uniform, Deng Zhihua stepped out of the car with long legs, he deliberately put on a serious expression, with a baby face, and his milk was fierce.

Shu Ange was a little surprised that he would appear here, and said hello in a proper manner.

"Hello Company Commander Deng."

"It's all out, what's the company commander, just call me Brother Deng."

Song Hongxing blinked his eyes and looked at Deng Zhihua curiously.

Compared with the calm and solemn eldest brother, this student-like elder brother is more curious.

"Brother Deng is good."

"Good boy has candy to eat."

Deng Zhihua took out a handful of colorful candy from his pocket and raised his chin towards Shu Ange.

Perhaps because of the deliberate sunburning, his face was much darker than when Shu Ange left the hospital, and he looked healthier.

"Target person's opinion +10, current opinion 68."

Shu Ange took the sugar, peeled off one and stuffed it into Song Hongxing's mouth.

He clapped his cheeks and said vaguely: "Thank you, sister, thank you, Brother Deng." ”

Song Hongqi put Song Hongxing on the ground, Deng Zhihua bowed slightly, touched his head, and stuffed a handful of sugar into his pocket: "Eat a few a day, don't finish eating, don't have your teeth bitten by insects." ”

"Worms, worms in your teeth?"

Song Hongxing was startled, Deng Zhihua was amused by him and deliberately scared him: "Yes, there are small bugs hidden in the teeth." If you don't brush your teeth, they'll crawl out while you're asleep. ”

"Do you have to brush your teeth every day?"

Song Hongxing looked dazed, Shu Ange pinched his face: "Silly boy, of course you have to brush your teeth, didn't my sister buy you a toothbrush and toothpaste." ”

"Don't tease Red Star, go home, it's hot here."

On a hot day, Song Hongqi and Deng Zhihua were wearing military hats, and they sweated not long after getting out of the car.

In order to welcome their son, who has not been home for more than two years, Cai Aiqin and Song Guangliang cleaned up the courtyard and the outside of the courtyard a few days in advance.

Afraid that he would not have hot water to drink or a bowl of hot rice to eat when he came back, the two did not dare to go out and had been busy at home.

Things are easy to spoil in summer, so Cai Aiqin bought watermelons and peaches to hang in the well, and waited for her son to come back and cut a cold and delicious one.

The familiar courtyard wall appeared in the field of vision, Song Hongqi's eyes were hot, and the longing that had been accumulated in his chest for a long time turned into hot tears.

"Dad, mother, big brother is back!"

Song Hongxing is like a little magpie, reporting the good news of his eldest brother's arrival to his father and mother loudly.

Cai Aiqin smashed the lid of the pot on the stove, didn't even bother to untie the apron, and went straight to the door.

Even the chickens and ducks in the yard seemed to sense the joy of their owners, and they barked, and the big black dog tied to the door shook their heads and barked earnestly.

Song Guangliang stood at the door, his hand excitedly not knowing where to go: "Red flag." ”

"Daddy!"

Song Hongqi screamed heavily, his throat choked a little.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, my father is much older, with new gray hair on his head and wrinkles on his face.

"What are you doing standing at the door, why don't you take the child into the house quickly."

Hearing her son's voice, Cai Aiqin's tears rolled out, she raised her sleeve and wiped it, reminding her husband in a loud voice.

"Mother, my son is back."

Dressed in a military uniform, with a mother, both mother and son had red eyes.

Daddy is old, mother

"Let my mother see, how are you recovering from your injuries? Does your head still hurt? ”

Cai Aiqin also reminded her husband just now to welcome her son into the house, and she forgot about this stubble when it was her turn.

Song Hongqi came back from recuperation, and there was nothing wrong with it, but he still couldn't let go of his mother.

"Mother, father, my injuries are all healed, don't worry."

In order to make it easier for his mother to touch his head, Song Hongqi specially bent down and took off his hat.

His hair was shaved off a piece, the sinuous scar was like an ugly centipede, Cai Aiqin stroked the scar on his head, and asked tremblingly, "Does it still hurt?" Such a big wound, how painful it is when the doctor stitches it. ”

Afraid that his mother would be sad, Song Hongqi raised his head with a smile and buttoned his hat and saluted his parents: "I use anesthetic medicine when I get stitches, it doesn't hurt at all, and I will sew it up when I sleep." It's just scary to look at, and it's completely out of the way, so don't worry. ”

Cai Aiqin leaned over and wiped away her tears. Song Guangliang coughed, put his hands behind his back and said, "Go in, it's a pleasure for the child to come back, don't wipe your tears." Hongqi, this is your comrade-in-arms? Why don't you introduce it. ”

Song Guangliang didn't let his wife cry, and he shed a few tears.

Everyone praised their family for joining the army and contributing to the country, being a good boy and a hero of the people.

Everyone says that it is glorious to support the army, and half of the military merit medal of a soldier is half of his family.

But whose child is not a treasure in the heart, when she learned that Hongqi was injured in the mission and hospitalized, her life and death were uncertain, Cai Aiqin couldn't sleep all night.

She closed her eyes as if she saw her son bleeding profusely and asked her why he had sent him to the army.

A few years ago, Cai Aiqin heard that her son's troops had gone to the front line, and she stood at the entrance of the village every day, asking everyone how the war situation was.

The old man's addiction to smoking came out at that time.

In the lives of the two of them, the most unbearable thing is the eldest son.

If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have the ability to provide for their son to go to college, he wouldn't have to join the army at a young age.

"Uncle Song, Aunt Song, my name is Deng Zhihua, I am not the same number as Hongqi, and I have lived in the same ward for more than half a year. After six years in the army, you can just call me Xiao Deng. ”

Deng Zhihua introduced himself coolly, Cai Aiqin sorted out her emotions, and warmly greeted him in the courtyard: "The true spirit of the young man, his home is in the city, right?" It looks different from the one in our village. ”

"In the countryside, everyone is the same."

Deng Zhihua spoke thoughtfully and politely, and soon won the favor of the Song family.

During the meal, Song Hongxing had to sit next to Deng Zhihua, and his small mouth was endless.

"Brother Deng, do you shoot every day in the army?"

"It depends on the training plan, not necessarily every day."

"Can you hit every shot? I watched on TV that the Red Army was very good at fighting little devils, and every shot was accurate. ”

Song Hongxing made a pistol shape with his hand, looking at Deng Zhihua with admiration, only stars in his eyes.

"Yes, when you go to the army to play in the future, I will take you to shoot targets with your brother Hongqi."

Deng Zhihua also compared a pistol with his hand and pointed at Song Hongxing.
