Sora quickly dodged and fixed his eyes on a big wolf dog with shiny hair.

It was well eaten at first glance.

"Whew-Wow-Wow-......Wow-

Seeing that the big wolf dog didn't pounce on Xiaokong, he turned around and continued to pounce on Xiaokong.

Xiaokong was embarrassed, and when he saw Ji Ning not far away, he looked at him leisurely, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the family dog also knows the current affairs and knows how to find him to pinch this soft persimmon.

"Woo Woo ......"

The barking of the dog also startled the sleeping people in the house.

"Who? Big Head—"

As soon as Xiao Kong heard that voice, his dodging body suddenly stopped, and he was pounced on by the big wolf dog.

I thought it was broken......

Unexpectedly, after the big wolf dog only threw him to the ground, he did not bite him, but licked his face excitedly with his tongue.

Xiao Kong, who was rubbed with a face of saliva: ......

"Big Head...... What's wrong? ”

A small thin old man, with a shovel on his right shoulder and a flashlight in his left hand, walked out of the courtyard door with a nervous face.

The blinding light made Xiao Kong's eyes squint slightly.

"What are you doing? What are you doing at my house? When the little old man saw that there were really two people outside the door, he couldn't help but clench his shovel and scolded him vigilantly.

Ji Ning clasped his hands around his chest and looked at Xiao Kong lying on the ground with interest.

"Dad......" Xiaokong's voice choked up.

The little old man was originally very angry, but when he heard this, he was so shocked that the shovel almost didn't resist.

He hurriedly took the flashlight and carefully shone it in the direction of his dog.

I saw it wagging its tail all the time, licking a black figure on the ground.

"Big head ......" The little old man took two steps forward, stopped again, and looked at Ji Ning vigilantly, as if he was afraid that she would sneak attack him.

Seeing that Ji Ning didn't move, he looked at the people on the ground again.

"Who?"

"Dad, it's me...... Applejack ...... "Sora raised his voice as he pushed the wolf-dog with unbelievable enthusiasm.

"Bang-"

The shovel landed.

The little old man ran over with a flashlight, pushed away his wolfdog, sat on Xiao Kong's belly in his place, held his face with both hands, and shouted excitedly, "Ajie...... It's really Applejack...... Oops...... It's really my son......"

The excited little old man kissed him on the cheek several times.

Xiaokong was also excited, but more shy, after all, his own team leader was still watching from a distance.

He tried to take off the little old man's hand, "Dad, be quiet, go home first." ”

After the little old man was in ecstasy, he suddenly realized the identity of his son, quickly covered his mouth, and looked left and right at the neighbor's house.

He lowered his voice and said, "Okay, go home." ”

The little old man quickly got up from his son, picked up the flashlight on the ground, and shone it at Ji Ning with some embarrassment.

"This is ......"

"Ji Ning, his colleague." Ji Ning was the first to answer, interrupting the introduction from Xiao Kong's mouth.

"Makes you smile. Hurry into the house...... Have you eaten? I asked the old woman to hurry up and order some dumplings to eat. The little old man's voice was a little nervous.

Son's colleague, isn't that also a supernatural?

Oh, my God......

It was the first time he had seen an unmasked Anomalous Being.

Still so young and good-looking......

The little old man hurriedly pushed open the door, invited Ji Ning into the courtyard, and then turned on the headlights in the courtyard, and ran back to the house to call people quickly.

But I was afraid of being heard by my neighbors, so my voice went up and down.

Xiao Kong's face was flushed, and he said to Ji Ning embarrassedly: "Team leader, that ...... My dad hasn't seen me in a long time......"

"Very good." The corners of Ji Ning's mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Xiao Kong saw that there was no displeasure on his team leader's face, and his heart fell.

My own team leader is really different from others.

Three floors are self-built, and the first floor has a huge living room.

Bright white tiles, polished to shine.

The little old man walked in a hurry, almost fell, and complained in his mouth: "Really, what are you doing to wipe it so clean?" ”

Then he walked to the stairs and shouted upstairs, "Baby, my son is back." ”

"What? Who's back? ”

"Son, Applejack is back."

The little old man raised his voice again and shouted.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud "knock" from upstairs, and then there was no sound for a long time.

The little old man was about to ask another question when he saw that his son's colleague had already skipped him and went up the stairs.

"What's wrong? Baby? ”

Xiaokong hurriedly supported his body, "I'll take a look." ”

After he walked upstairs quickly, he saw the third floor of the staircase, and his team leader was squatting on the ground to treat his mother.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

The little old lady looked at him with red eyes, her lips trembled slightly, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

Group ...... Ji Ning, is my mom okay? ”

"Hmm." Ji Ning withdrew his hand, stood up, and took half a step back.

Xiaokong hurriedly ran over and squatted on the ground to pick up the little old lady sitting on the ground.

The little old lady's hair was gray, there were many folds on her face, her eyes were full of tears, she looked straight at Xiao Kong, her body trembled slightly, her fingers wanted to touch him, but she didn't dare to touch him.

"Mom, I'm back." Xiao Kong picked up the little old lady from the ground.

The weight was so light that it made him very sad.

Regret and guilt followed.

The mother and son had a warm meal, if it weren't for Xiaokong's concern for business, he persuaded his mother to stop.

"Mom, this is my colleague Ji Ning, you can arrange a room. We recently stayed at home. ”

When the little old lady heard this, her voice was a little higher, "Really?" How long to stay? ”

Xiao Kong turned his head to look at Ji Ning, and seeing that she didn't speak, he said vaguely: "Just a few days." ”

"Okay. I'll go make the bed. ”

The little old lady looked at Ji Ning, her eyes were not as restrained as the little old man, but she was full of joy, and asked Ji Ning kindly: "Girl, do you like to sleep in a soft bed or a hard bed?" ”

Ji Ning was a little surprised, this was the first person who could call her gender at a glance, and replied: "It's okay." ”

The smile on the little old lady's face widened, and she asked again, "Have you eaten?" I'll go get you some dumplings to eat. ”

Xiaokong just wanted to say no, but after glancing at Ji Ning, he changed his words and said, "Mom, go down more, I'm a little hungry." ”

"Okay."

The little old lady hurriedly went to find the little old man and began to busily make the bed and make dumplings.

Xiaokong took Ji Ning back to the living room and wanted to make tea and pour water for her, but after turning around several times, he couldn't find the teacup and tea caddy, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"How many years have you not been back?" Ji Ning asked suddenly.

Xiaokong scratched his face, "It's been more than ten years since the second year of high school." ”

Ji Ning nodded slightly, "Do you have brothers and sisters?" ”

"Well, there's a sister."

Ji Ning nodded slightly and didn't ask again.

As she was climbing the stairs, she heard a knock on the door of a room on the second floor, but the person never came out.

Xiaokong looked simple, but his mind was not naïve, and he quickly thought of the meaning of Ji Ning's words, stood up and walked towards the kitchen, and asked the little old man in the kitchen in a low voice, "Dad, has A-Ying been living at home recently?" ”

The little old man was stunned, and his face showed worry, "Yes, I don't know if you come back, or I will let their family leave first." Will this affect your work? ”

Xiaokong was also afraid that it would affect Ji Ning's plan, so he thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll tell A-Ying tomorrow morning."

"You didn't tell A-Ying about my identity, did you?"

"I didn't say it, your sister always thought you had entered the base. By the way, you haven't seen the army and the little tiger yet, have you? ”

Koku has naturally seen his sister-in-law and nephew, but he saw it through the photos.

But he shook his head, and the little old man babbled about the affairs of the family.

"Dajun is your sister-in-law, who works in the city, and Xiaohu is your nephew, who is 5 years old this year and goes to kindergarten in the city......"

Meanwhile.

In the bedroom on the second floor, a man and a woman were also arguing in a low voice.

"What are you doing? My brother is back, can't I go out and have a look? The woman twisted her arms vigorously, and there was some anger on her face.

The man who had been dragging her arm hurriedly made a silent gesture and whispered, "Shhh You didn't wonder why your brother came back so late? And haven't told your parents yet? ”

"Hmm...... My brother is a fighter and has a special job, so it's good to be back. ”

"Are you stupid? Which base fighter won't let him go home for ten years? ”

"What do you mean?" Seeing the man's suspicious expression, the woman was very unhappy and shook off the man's hand.

Seeing that she was angry, the man took her hand again, comforted her a few words, and continued: "Don't be angry, I'm not worried? My parents are old, and my body is not good......"

"Feng Dajun, don't you want to provide for your parents?"

"No, why did you get involved with this?"

"And what do you mean?"

"You said that your brother suddenly enlisted in the army when he was a sophomore in high school, and he hasn't been back for ten years, if your parents hadn't gone to the base to see him, you would have thought he had sacrificed. Don't you doubt this statement at all? ”

"Suspect what?"

"I suspect your brother is not a warrior."

"Feng Dajun, if my brother is not a warrior, what is it? You're less crooked. The house you live in now was built by my brother's allowance. ”

The woman was angry, went to bed, turned her back and ignored him.

The man was helpless, but a certain guess in his heart became more and more firm.

There's definitely something wrong with this big brother.

Otherwise, you won't go home for ten years.

***

7 a.m.

The little old lady opened her eyes suddenly, and pushed the little old man who was still snoring next to her.

"Dad, wake up. I dreamed that my son was back. ”

The little old man rubbed his eyes, turned around and scolded: "What did you dream of your son, he won't come back at night." ”

"Really......"

The little old lady was immediately happy, and immediately got up, just in time to see the people in the courtyard outside the window.

"Oh, my sons are up. Get up and cook. ”

The little old lady quickly put on her clothes and hurriedly went downstairs, just in time to see her daughter also coming out of the house.

Thinking of what the little old man had explained, he quickly pulled his yawning daughter aside and whispered, "A-Ying, you live in your mother's house, will there be any opinions on the side of the army?" ”

A-Ying's yawning hand paused, looked at her mother, and frowned slightly, "The army has no opinion." ”

"Then you can't live in your mother's house for ten days and half a month?" The little old lady's tone was a little anxious, "You go back and pack up, and go back to the city with the army today." ”

"It's not...... Mom, what are you doing? My brother just came back and drove us away? Ah Ying thought of what her husband said at night, her face was a little ugly, and she even had a hint of anger, "Mom, what has my brother been doing outside all these years?" Why not go home for ten years? Is he really a base fighter? ”

It's almost 2024.

I wish all my friends, in the new year, all their wishes come true, good health, all the best, the dragon is prosperous, and the new year is red~
