Afterwards, Li Jin and Liu Zhen went back together. On the way, Li Jin also asked about Liu Zhen's family situation from time to time, such as the harvest of the fields.
In this regard, Liu Zhen only said that it was barely okay and that his family would not starve to death.
Li Jin knew that many people were living a very difficult life in this era. Some soldiers in the army joined the army just to reduce the burden on their families.
This is how Liu Changshun signed up to join the army in the first place, in order to let his younger brothers and sisters eat more.
Not long after, Li Jin and Liu Zhen returned to the village. On the way, some villagers greeted Liu Zhen and asked who the person next to Liu Zhen was.
"This is Company Commander Li. He came to our village to recruit soldiers before. My son has also come back. I heard that he has become a platoon leader." Liu Zhen said with a smile. When he talked about Liu Changshun, there was a smile on his face. That's a face full of pride.
My son is very successful and has become an officer.
"Your son has already become an official." The villagers were stunned. When they looked at Li Jin, they quickly asked, "Captain Li, are you still recruiting soldiers now? I have a son. Can he join you as a soldier?" "
"If you don't recruit now, you will do it when you have the opportunity in the future." Li Jin said that the special operations company no longer needs to recruit troops, and the new regiment is also full of people.
"That's it." The villager was a little disappointed. Why didn't he let his son become a soldier in the first place? Maybe he could also become an official or something.
When Li Jin came here to recruit troops, he did not recruit many people. All the other young people of the same age were recruited by the national army. Only Liu Changshun was seriously ill and stayed.
"No more talking, let's go back first." Liu Zhen was no longer chatting with the villagers, but continued to walk home.
When he met villagers on the road, Liu Zhen couldn't help but show off to the villagers that his son had become a platoon leader.
This makes Li Jin a little helpless. As soon as his son becomes successful, his parents will always show off their son's abilities outside.
Soon, the two returned to Liu Zhen's home.
After hearing the noise, Aunt Liu and Liu Changshun couldn't help but come out.
"Hey, Platoon Leader Li, why did you buy so many things?" Aunt Liu said in a daze.
"Xiao Liu asked me to buy these with his military salary, not from me." Li Jin said with a smile.
"There is meat to eat today." Xiaoya and Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel happy when they saw the pork Li Jin was carrying.
Liu Changshun was stunned when he heard this. When did he ask the company commander to go shopping? Do they still have military pay? Then he immediately understood that it was the company commander who wanted him to lose face in front of his parents. .
Aunt Liu couldn't help but look at Liu Changshun.
"I asked the company commander to buy it. I finally came back, so naturally I had to buy something." Liu Changshun said quickly.
"Why are you spending so much money for nothing? Isn't it good to keep it to marry a wife in the future?" Aunt Liu accused. In her opinion, it would be great if Liu Changshun could come back safely.
“Daughter-in-lawLet’s talk about it later, I’ll take care of you first. "Liu Changshun said, he doesn't know whether he can live that long in the future.
Liu Zhen didn't say anything, but just took the bacon into the kitchen.
Li Jin also followed him in. Put the half fan of pork on the cutting board, and put the two chickens he was carrying in the chicken coop.
"Uncle Liu, let's just eat pork today. You can save bacon and other things for later." . "Li Jin said, bacon can be stored for a long time, but pork is different. You can still make bacon if you can't finish it.
"Okay. "Liu Zhen nodded, turned around and left the kitchen.
"Go and call Lao San's family over and have a meal together at noon. "Liu Zhen gave instructions to Aunt Liu.
"Okay. "Aunt Liu nodded and left the house to call for help. Liu Zhen went into the kitchen again and started chopping meat to prepare today's lunch.
Li Jin came to Liu Changshun and stuffed a pack of oil paper into Liu Changshun.
"What?" Liu Changshun looked confused.
"Candied dates, give them to your younger brothers and sisters. "Li Jin whispered. This thing is still very popular with children, but most people in the village are reluctant to buy it. After all, they don't have enough to eat.
"Thank you, company commander. Liu Changshun said.
Li Jin said nothing, patted Liu Changshun on the shoulder, turned and entered the room.
"Xiaoya, Xiaoyu, come here and give you something good to eat." "Liu Changshun shouted to the two children, and he squatted down.
"What a good thing!" The two came to Liu Changshun.
Liu Changshun slowly beat the oil paper, There were more than a dozen candied dates inside.
"It's candied dates." Xiaoya was very happy, so she reached out and took one and stuffed it into her mouth. The same was true for Xiaoyu. They both ate happily.
"Is it delicious? Is it sweet?" Liu Changshun couldn't help but smile while looking at the two little guys.
"Yeah, sweet." "The two little guys nodded their heads, the smiles on their lips never stopping.
"Brother, you eat too. "Xiaoya picked up one and stuffed it into Liu Changshun's mouth.
"Brother, isn't it sweet?" Xiaoya said with a smile.
"Yes. "Liu Changshun nodded.
"I'll give one to Dad. "Xiaoyu said, picking up a candied date and running into the kitchen.
"Dad, you eat the candied dates and I'll feed you. ”
“You can’t eat too much of this.” "
" Got it. "
The voices of two people came from the kitchen. Xiaoyu ran out of the kitchen and came to Liu Changshun to eat candied dates.
After the two of them ate three candied dates in a row, Liu Changshun took the candied dates. I hid it in the house, but I still couldn’t eat more of it.
Not long after, Aunt Liu came over with a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman and two little boys about five or six years old. .
"Third uncle, third aunt. "Liu Changshun greeted.
The middle-aged women were a little afraid to recognize Liu Changshun. Although they were mentally prepared, the Liu Changshun in front of them had changed too much compared to before.
< p>The two little boys, let alone the two little boys, all doubted that the man in front of them was not the elder brother."You two, why don't you call me brother quickly?" the third uncle scolded his two sons.
"Big, big brother." The two little boys shouted timidly.
"Hey." Liu Changshun smiled.
"Third brother, come in quickly and help boil water and kill chickens." Liu Zhen's voice came from the kitchen.
"Here you go, go pick some vegetables from the vegetable field." The third uncle ordered the third aunt and went into the kitchen. Then the third aunt hurriedly left to pick vegetables from the vegetable field.
Liu Changshun originally wanted to help, but Liu Zhen thought he was in the way and asked him to stay in the house.
At around 12:30 noon, lunch was already ready.
Everyone set up tables and chairs in the yard for dinner.
Today’s dishes are still very rich, including braised pork, chicken soup, green vegetables, fried bacon, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of pickles.
After all, Liu Zhen did not listen to Li Jin and save it for later, but made it in advance.
"Captain Li, please have a bowl of chicken soup first." Liu Zhen personally gave Li Jin a bowl of soup.
"Thank you." Li Jin said.
Then Liu Zhencai poured chicken soup for the others one after another. Several children couldn't hold it anymore. They looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed their saliva.
They haven’t eaten meat for a long time. The food this time is even richer than during the Chinese New Year. They don’t even know when they will eat it next time.
While eating, Liu Zhen looked at Liu Changshun and said, "Have you ever killed Japanese soldiers on the battlefield?"
"Well, I killed a lot of them, so I'm not afraid." Liu Changshun nodded. said.
"That's not bad." Liu Zhen nodded happily. He would have the cost of bragging in the future. His son had killed Japanese soldiers and became an officer.
"Xiao Shun is quite powerful. I heard that this Japanese is very powerful and chases the national army everywhere." The third uncle also said.
"There is no way, the equipment and military quality of the Japs are indeed better than those of the Chinese troops." Liu Changshun said, except for the special operations company, there is still a big gap between other troops and the Japs.
Several people then asked Liu Changshun about the war, and Liu Changshun simply replied with a few words without telling him about the danger.
"You guys eat first, I'm full, Xiao Liu, come with me." Li Jin stood up and said.
"Okay." Liu Changshun put down his bowls and chopsticks and quickly followed. Although the rest of the people were a little confused, they didn't go into details.
Li Jin and Liu Changshun came to the open space behind the house.
"Company Commander, what's wrong?" Liu Changshun asked.
"Give this money to your parents." Li Jin took out more than a dozen dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Changshun's hand.
"No, company commander, I can't have this." Liu Changshun quickly refused.
"Stop talking nonsense and take it, or I will beat you up." Li Jin stared.
“Thank you, company commander.Liu Changshun could only accept the money.
“Ask your parents to keep this money quiet and keep it for yourself. Don’t let anyone else know about it. "Li Jin warned, don't expose your wealth, especially in this era, it is easy to get yourself killed.
"Understood. "Liu Changshun nodded.
After a few minutes, the dinner was over, and the third uncle and the others left Liu Zhen's house.
Liu Changshun then called Aunt Liu into the room, and then Give the money to Aunt Liu.
“Mom, keep this money for emergencies, and don’t let outsiders know. "Liu Changshun said.
"Where did you get so much money?" Aunt Liu was stunned. She counted, there were fifteen yuan in total.
"All my military pay, It's all here. "Liu Changshun lied.
"No, no, I can't take them all, so you should keep some. "Aunt Liu said, what if her son gave her all the money?"
"It's okay. I'm in the army, and the army will prepare everything for us. There's no place to spend money, so it's useless to keep it. Just accept it. "Liu Changshun said.
"Okay then, I will help you save this money for your future wife. "Aunt Liu accepted it.
"Well, mother, I'll go back to the base first, and I'll come back to see you later. "Liu Changshun walked outside the house.
Li Jin and Liu Zhen were waiting in the yard.
"Are you leaving?" Liu Zhen asked.
< p>"Yes, it has been delayed for a long time, it is time to return to the base. "Liu Changshun said. He originally planned to go back at twelve o'clock, but he didn't expect that dinner would start a little late, which would waste time."Okay, I'll see you off. "Liu Zhen stood up.
"Brother, are you leaving?" The two children were a little reluctant to leave. Their eyes were red and they wanted to cry.
"It's okay, brother. I'll come back again. Just be obedient at home, you know. "Liu Changshun pinched the cheeks of the two little guys.
"I know, brother, when will you be back?" Xiaoya asked.
"Soon. "Liu Changshun said.
"Don't waste your brother's time. Go back to the house quickly. "Liu Zhen reprimanded the two little guys with a straight face.
Watching his younger brothers and sisters return to the house, Liu Changshun stood up and left with Li Jin.
Liu Zhen kept seeing Liu Changshun and the others off , the father and son did not speak, both were silent.
Li Jin looked helplessly from behind. The two of them were more boring than the other, couldn't they just say a few words? I don't know. I thought these two people didn’t know each other.
Liu Zhen sent them three miles away.
“Dad, just send them here. "Liu Changshun broke the atmosphere. If he hadn't spoken, his father might have continued to deliver.
"Well, please be safe, kid. "Liu Zhen said.
"I understand, dad, you should also take care of yourself. "Liu Changshun said.
Liu Zhen looked at Li Jin and said, "Captain Li, please take more care of Xiaoshun, please.. "
After speaking, Liu Zhen bowed directly to Li Jin. Li Jin was so frightened that he quickly helped him up.
"I will, please go back quickly. "Li Jin said and left with Liu Changshun.
Liu Zhen watched the two people leave until they disappeared from his eyes, then sighed and turned back.
Li Jin looked at Liu Changshun, who remained silent.
“Company commander, do you think my father doesn’t care about me? My father has always been very strict with me since I was a child. "Liu Changshun said after a while. He felt that his father was a little cold to him. After he came back, his father did not look happy.
"You kid, if your father doesn't care about you, he won't I went all the way to town just to buy bacon. You wouldn’t think that I bought that plate of bacon, right? "Li Jin said.
Liu Changshun was stunned and said, "That bacon was bought by my father."
"Otherwise, how do you think I came back with your father? When I came back from the town, I happened to see your father.
He was the one who bought the bacon. You know your family's situation well. He doesn't care about you. Will he be willing to spend money to buy bacon? "Li Jin said.
Liu Zhen just doesn't know how to express it, but his actions are no worse than any father.
"So that's it, my dad cares about me "Liu Changshun became happy.
"Nonsense, when your father came back, he showed off to countless villagers that your boy had become the platoon leader, with a look of pride on his face,
It's just that he didn't show it in front of you. I'm afraid he was just serious to prevent you from being too proud. "Li Jin continued.
"Hey, my dad still has this side. "Liu Changshun also grinned when he heard Li Jin's words. He didn't expect that his father would show off to others. He thought that his father would not be like this.
"So, your father is not I don’t care about you, I’m just not good at expressing myself. "Li Jin said, is father's love silent?
"Yes. "Liu Changshun nodded. He raised his head, and the depression on his face had disappeared.
At six thirty the next morning, Li Jin took Liu Changshun back to the military camp.
The military camp There were only a dozen soldiers left behind, and the others, except for the soldiers standing guard in the mountains, were escorting the villagers to Qinshan.
Li Jin and Liu Changshun didn't care so much and went directly to the kitchen for breakfast. , after eating, the two went back to the dormitory to rest.
As soon as they lay down, someone pushed open Li Jin’s door and Zhao Xiaowu walked in.
Company commander. "
"What's wrong?" Li Jin stood up helplessly.
"I want to say, do you want to go to Guyuan County? I haven't been there for several days. " Zhao Xiaowu asked. Because the base area was exposed, he hadn't gone to Guyuan County to contact Chen Shangwen for a long time.
"Let's go in two days and see if there is anything there. other situations. "Li Jin said, the base area was exposed, Gu YuanThe county now has a threat to this side and cannot treat it like before. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
