Chapter Twenty-Three: The Long-Lost Hometown (Part II)

After walking for a while, the soldier led them to a relatively flat place on the edge of the lake.

Xiao Bing looked at the lake that was dark by the bright moon in the sky and said: This is it, the water here is relatively shallow, which is very suitable for swimming.

But Chen Gong and the others looked at the darkness everywhere, and they looked at the soldiers with some fear in their hearts.

The little soldier looked at them like that, and smiled: Although it was dark here, it was very safe, and he began to prepare to drag his jacket into the water.

When Chen Gong and the others saw that the little soldier was about to drag his clothes, Chen Gong opened his mouth and asked: Is there really no problem?

The little soldier dragged off his shirt and looked at them and said, "In the past, my father-in-law often took me here to swim at night in the summer.

Chen Gong and the others were silent when they heard Xiao Bing say about his father.

The little soldier looked at them, shook his head helplessly, jumped into the water, and immediately got into the water.

Jumping into the water, the soldier immediately felt the coolness and satisfaction of the lake.

After swimming a little on the lake, the soldier looked at the people who were still standing on the shore and said, "If you want to swim, come down quickly!" The lake is very suitable for swimming.

When everyone heard Xiao Bing's words, you and I discussed it one by one, and in the end, except for the three brothers of Chen Gong who wanted to go down, none of the women dared to go into the water.

The creep looked at them, smiled, and swam away.

After the soldiers swam for a while, Chen Gong and the others came down.

Chen Gong went down to the water and said first: Well, this lake is really good.

After Chen Rong listened to his words, he nodded and swam towards the little soldier.

The soldiers swam happily for nearly an hour before they went ashore.

When they got to the shore and put on their clothes, the little soldier went back with the people.

When they returned home, because of the time, everyone walked to the room.

Entering the room, Xiao Bing looked at Chen Gong and smiled, and said in his heart: How should such a small place be lived?

Chen Gong looked at Xiao Bing, he also knew that the room was very small, and he had to live in so many people, he thought about it and said: Xiao Bing, you will take the two children to sleep on the bed, and we will lay the floor on the floor.

Xiao Bing looked at the two children standing next to him and said: No, you are guests, you sleep on the bed, I sleep on the ground.

Chen Gong looked at Xiao Bing and continued: You are still a child, so you will sleep on the bed, and the three of us adults will sleep on the ground.

After he finished speaking, Chen Rong and Chen Bing nodded one after another.

The soldier looked at them and beckoned the two children to get ready to go to bed.

The two children heard the soldier call them and climbed into bed.

The soldier watched them climb into bed, smiled, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

At this time, Chen Gong and the others took out the quilts and mats they bought in the town today and prepared to lay them on the ground.

When they had laid the ground, the soldiers went to bed and got ready for bed.

Lying on his long-lost big bed, Xiao Bing looked at the ceiling and thought to himself, alas! I haven't come back for a long time, hehe, my bed is still comfortable.

Time to lie in bed flies. The two children who slept next to Xiao Bing and Chen Gong who were laying on the ground fell asleep early, and only Xiao Bing fell asleep for a long time.

The reason why he couldn't sleep was because he hadn't been home for too long and the snoring sound from Chen Gong, so he couldn't sleep for a long time.

With a snoring sound, the soldier lying on the bed tossed and turned.

Time passed slowly, and when it was almost dawn, the little soldier slowly fell asleep.

Time flies, and when Xiaobing woke up, Chen Gong and the others had already woken up.

After Xiaobing and Chen Gong smoked a cigarette in the room, they came to the living room to prepare breakfast.

After eating breakfast, Xiao Bing sat on a stool in the living room and looked at Chen Gong and said: There is nothing to do today, I will take you out for a walk!

When everyone heard Xiao Bing say this, they all nodded, and agreed to go out for a walk.

When they had finished eating and tidying up, the little soldier led the group outside.

When he came to the courtyard, Chen Gong opened his mouth and asked: Xiaobing, where are you taking us today?

Xiao Bing looked at him and smiled: "Teacher Chen, because we are in the countryside here, I will take you to feel the idyllic scenery."

Hehe, yes, it's a good idea to look back on nature, Chen Gong said with a smile.

The soldier nodded and led them to the rice field outside.

Xiao Bing took them to stroll on the path in the middle of the rice field, Xiao Bing walked in front to lead the way, while Chen Gong took out his mobile phone and took pictures as they walked.

After walking for a while on the path of the rice field, Xiao Bing led them to a rice field at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Bing pointed to the rice field where rice grows and said: This field belongs to our family, and now it is rented to others for farming.

Chen Gong looked at the rice field and nodded: This rice field is fertile and the rice grows well.

The others came over and looked at the rice fields, and you and I said one by one.

Xiao Bing looked at them and smiled: Don't underestimate this small piece of rice field, my father-in-law relied on this small rice field to raise me.

Everyone listened to the little soldier's words and nodded one after another.

After looking at them, the little soldier pointed to the mountain road in front of him: I'll take you up the mountain to have a look, and after he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked up the mountain.

Chen Gong and the others saw the soldiers walking towards the mountain, so they immediately followed the soldiers.

Walking on the road in the mountains, the little soldier told them about the mountain climbing with his father-in-law in the past.

Time passed quickly, and the accompanying time passed slowly, and the soldiers also reached the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Xiao Bing looked at the mountain spring water channel that slowly flowed down from the cracks in the stones in the mountains not far away: where is the source and location of the Dongjiang River in eastern Guangdong Province.

Hearing Xiao Bing's words, everyone looked somewhere.

At this time, he had never spoken to Xiao Bing, and Chen Ke suddenly opened his mouth and asked Xiao Bing: Why is the spring there so small?

Xiao Bing looked at her and smiled: Because it is the source, it is small, but when it slowly flows more and more, it will become a big river.

Oh, so it is, in this way, I always thought that the big river had always had so much water? Chen Ke looked at Xiao Bing and said.

When the soldier heard her words, he smiled and didn't continue to talk to her.

Chen Ke didn't continue to ask Xiaobing, so she pulled Chen Jia to take pictures everywhere on the top of the mountain.

Seeing that everyone else was also taking pictures everywhere, the soldier found a flat stone and sat down.

After the soldiers sat for a while, Chen Gong and the others had a good time, and the soldiers took them down the mountain.

When they came to the bottom of the mountain and returned home, Wang Zhenzhen took Chen Ke and them to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

When the meal was ready, the soldiers all sat down to eat.

After eating, because they felt a little tired after climbing the mountain today, they didn't go out, and they all sat on the stools in the living room and chatted.

When the three brothers of Chen Gong talked about preparing to move the ashes of the veteran to Hangzhou, Xiao Bing looked at Chen Gong and said: "Teacher Chen, I don't agree to move away.

Chen Gong looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "Why?" My mother has missed my father for many years, and now I have finally found my father, so I think we should reunite them.

After he finished talking about Chen Rong, they also nodded one after another, and said that what Chen Gong said was good.

The soldier looked at the crowd and felt that there was some truth in what they said, but he still said that he did not agree with the migration.

At this time, Chen Rong looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "Xiao Bing, you give us a reason not to agree."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at the creeps.

Xiao Bing glanced at everyone and said slowly: The reason why I disagree is because my father-in-law told me on his deathbed that he liked it very much, so I buried him here.

After listening to Xiaobing's answer, everyone realized that Xiaobing did not agree to the migration because of this.

At this time, Chen Gong said: It is actually the last words of his father and his old man, so why don't we relocate!

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Chen Rong looked at him and said, "Which big brother, my mother has waited for my father for so many years, and now that I have finally found my father, why don't you bury them together?

After he finished speaking, Wang Zhenzhen and the others nodded and said, yes, they should be reunited.

At this time, Chen Gong said: I know that my father and mother will be reunited, but my father doesn't want to leave here, and I have no choice!

However, Chen Rong looked at him、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Okay, second brother, what's the matter, we can move our mother's ashes from Hangzhou here to be buried with my father, so that they can be reunited.

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Chen Rong nodded and said, "Yes, we can move our mother here, so that we can reunite with our father."

Chen Gong looked at him and continued: Yes, the environment here is beautiful, the four seasons are like spring, and it is also a good thing for us to bury our father and mother here.

After listening to Chen Rong's words, the others nodded and agreed with his words.

After the problem of migration was solved, Xiao Bing and Chen Gong chatted without a word.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Gong and the others have followed the soldiers to Guangdong Province for several days, and during the few days they stayed, the soldiers basically took them around every day.

When Xiao Bing took them to basically visit some places near Xiao Bing's house, Chen Gong and the others proposed to go back to Hangzhou.

Xiaobing also knew that Chen Gong's younger brother and Chen Ke were not people who had to go to class at work, so they agreed to go back to Hangzhou.

On the morning of the fifth day back home, after breakfast and tidying up the house, they went to the veterans' cemetery by the small lake to say goodbye to the veterans, and then drove in the direction of the highway entrance.

After getting on the Daguang Expressway, Chen Gong drove along the highway to Hangzhou.
