Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Zhou Zhongyi suddenly opened his eyes.

He turned his head to look at his sleeping wife beside him, lifted the quilt, and tiptoed out of bed.

Grab your clothes and walk out on tiptoe.

That night, he barely slept well, and his mind was full of things about Lin Hui and thinking about his future.

Unlike Lao Wei's squad leader, his relationship with Lin Hui is even closer.

Having been through so much together, they are like brothers.

This kind of feeling is incomprehensible to outsiders.

Zhou Zhongyi led so many old troops, and they were almost disbanded, but it was Lin Hui's arrival that kept the Tiger Regiment and grew all the way to the first place in the whole theater.

Now that he is gone, Lin Hui has also taken over the regimental flag representing honor from him.

The relationship between them is like that of father and son, like friends, and like brothers.

So he is particularly concerned about Lin Hui's future.

Zhou Zhongyi quietly opened the door of the balcony, and while getting dressed, he dialed the phone number in the group.

Soon, the phone was connected: "Hello, this is the duty room of the 458 regiment, who are you looking for?" ”

Zhou Zhongyi couldn't wait to ask: "Is your deputy head Lin Hui back?" ”

The other side was suddenly full of vigilance: "Who are you, if you don't explain your identity, we have nothing to say!" ”

"Lao Tzu is Zhou Zhongyi!"

The officer on duty suddenly became excited: "Old regiment leader! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't hear your voice just now, how are you doing, old leader, we miss you so much! ”

Zhou Zhongyi glared: "Don't talk nonsense, what about asking you?" Is Lin Hui back? ”

The officer on duty shook his head; "Not yet, he's on vacation."

Zhou Zhongyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Got it." ”

The phone hung up, he walked around the corridor several times, and kept sighing: "Stinky boy, according to the time, you should go back at this time, didn't you say that you are going back to the army, where else can you run?" ”

"Bastard, you don't want to open it yet, do you?"

"Why can't you think about this bit of, the sacrificed people won't blame him, everyone is still waiting for him!"

The first rays of the morning sun shone on his face, and it was still a little cold.

Zhou Zhongyi sighed: "The sun rises as usual, and a new day has started again, I just don't know if this guy can get out of the predicament?" ”

All morning, he was a little distracted and restless.

When I brush my teeth, I don't know that the water in the mouthwash jar is full.

When I had breakfast, I also picked a large piece of bean curd, which I usually hated the most.

It was salty and salty, and he didn't react at all.

It wasn't until he was almost late for work that he saw the time react suddenly, and hurriedly ran out with his things.

Chu Hongmei asked in the back: "Will you come back at noon?" ”

"Don't come back, don't come back, there are a lot of things in the past two days!"

With a bang, the door slammed shut.

Chu Hongmei looked at the passive can of bean curd sauce, pondered for a long time, and finally smiled.

……

At about eight o'clock in the evening, inside the building of the local armed forces.

Zhou Zhongyi took the bag and walked out.

Two colleagues greeted each other: "Lao Zhou, are you off work?" ”

Zhou Zhongyi was stunned for a moment: "Yes, yes, it's time to get off work." ”

"Why are you so busy so late today?"

"Something." Zhou Zhongyi smiled: "Let's go first." ”

The colleague looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with him, didn't I see that he finished things in the afternoon?" ”

Another colleague shook his head: "Who knows?" Let's go. ”

Zhou Zhongyi pushed the bicycle out of the carport.

Ride the bike and head home.

Just now he made another call back to the group, but Lin Hui still didn't go back.

This made him gradually a little worried, where will this kid go, shouldn't he be unable to think about it?

When he got home, he opened the door, and it was dark.

"Wife?"

"Xiaowei, Xiaohan?"

After shouting several times in a row, no one in the room responded.

He walked through several rooms, but there was no one.

They should all be at home at this time, right?

Zhou Zhongyi hurriedly picked up the phone and called his wife, but no one answered on the other end of the phone.

After calling more than 20 times in a row, no one answered, and he was instantly anxious: "Why don't you worry about them one by one!" ”

He closed the door, rode out.

Twenty minutes later, he came to Hongmei Supermarket in a hurry.

The supermarket is brightly lit, but there is a sign on the glass door that says it is closed.

Zhou Zhongyi was shocked: "It won't be an accident, right?" ”

He took the hero lock from his bike and vigilantly pushed the door in.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned.

I saw that in the supermarket, several shelves were empty, and there were cardboard boxes next to them.

My wife is taking her son and daughter, sweating profusely and packing things.

The two children looked at him together: "Daddy." ”

Chu Hongmei wiped her sweat with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”

Zhou Zhongyi hurriedly asked: "What are you doing, you don't answer so many calls?" ”

Chu Hongmei smiled apologetically: "I've been busy just now, and I didn't see my phone on the counter to charge." ”

Zhou Zhongyi walked over, frowned and asked, "What are you doing at night, the things are on the shelves, why have you cleared them all?" ”

Chu Hongmei smiled at her: "I thought about it during the day and decided to transfer the supermarket." ”

"Transfer?" Zhou Zhongyi opened his mouth wide in shock: "Well done, why do you want to transfer?" You've put so much thought into it, and now the business is finally getting better, so why sell it?"

Chu Hongmei looked at him with a smile: "I sold it, so I can go with you!" ”

Zhou Zhongyi was stunned.

Chu Hongmei said softly: "Since your soldier came, you have been ghostly, I know that you have always had your old army in your heart." “

"From the time I knew you, you were a soldier there, and after so many years, you said that you would leave, and I couldn't stand it if I changed me."

"Take me working in a paper mill for four or five years, I became like this, I can't go, and I feel sad and reluctant, not to mention that you have been there for so many years."

Zhou Zhongyi was anxious: "I can't be reluctant, but I want to stay here for you, don't be busy, I won't go anywhere." ”

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by Chu Hongmei: "Don't be tough, I know that you came back for our family of three, and I also know that you have always felt guilty about us, so you chose to leave the old army to make up for us." ”

Zhou Zhongyi shook his head: "In my mind, you are as important as the old army!" ”

Chu Hongmei said with a smile: "We really need you very much, for so many years, I have lived like a widow, and the two children are like no father, I dream that you can come back." ”

"However, I don't want you to come back as an empty shell, and I don't want you to live in memories and shells."

Zhou Zhongyi stood there stupidly, his lips trembling slightly.

It was as if the heart was pinched by an invisible hand.

Indeed, although he is back, his soul is still in the old army.

During the competition, he wanted to go back and see.

In his spare time, he also thinks about everyone in the old army.

After Lin Hui came this time, Lin Hui's figure and the two sacrificed soldiers always appeared in his head.

Lin Hui's guilt and regret were also infected to him.

He also felt that he was sorry for the two soldiers and failed to protect them.

Chu Hongmei looked at him deeply: "You can do so much for us, I don't have any complaints." You're an amazing dad and a qualified husband, and now you're going to have to be a real soldier! ”

"Sold the supermarket, let's go with you!"

She looked at her son and daughter: "Xiaowei, Xiaohan, let's go to school in another place and go to live next to the army, okay?" ”

The son and daughter nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay, I've always wanted to go to my father's army, great!" ”

Chu Hongmei looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Zhongyi's nose was sour, and his eyes were red: "But ......"

Chu Hongmei said softly: "It's nothing, this time it's my own volition, it's from the heart, don't think about anything." ”

She smiled slightly: "I've been suffering for so many years, I've been tired for so many years, and now that my legs are gone, I've figured it out, it's time to enjoy it." I won't do anything in the future, eat yours, drink yours! ”

"I will follow you with my children at the ends of the earth, the elders are gone, and I don't have so much to worry about, where you go in the future, we will follow you!"

The two children sensibly said, "Dad, let's go with you!" ”

Chu Hongmei looked at him affectionately: "Husband, make a report and apply, and see if you can be transferred back, that is our home." ”

At this moment, Zhou Zhongyi's tears were no longer controllable, and he nodded vigorously at his wife: "Okay, good!" ”
