Chapter 168 Demobilization
"Brother?" Yuan Si came out of the room. Although she already knew who was coming, she still tried her best to put on a surprised expression.

"No, your brother is back." The old lady said cheerfully.

Li Mubao also had a smile on his face, looking at the little girl at the door, "Little Si has changed."

"That's right, your sister was only six years old when you left, but she's nine years old now, and she hasn't changed." The old lady said, "Why are you standing there stupidly, why don't you call someone?"

Yuansi obediently shouted to Li Mobao: "Brother."

"Hey, Xiaosi has grown into a big girl." Li Mobao stepped forward and wanted to rub his sister's little head.When he left, my younger sister was still a tiny one, but now she has grown up so much... Oh, it's not too big after all, it's just that the little face has grown up, it's white and tender, it's rare to see it.

Yuansi subconsciously flashed back. Although the other party was the original owner's brother, he was a stranger to her. If a stranger touched her head, she controlled and controlled it so she didn't make a move.

The old lady has been watching the interaction between the siblings, and of course she also saw this rather embarrassing scene, and quickly smoothed things over, "Your brother is back, what are you still doing here, hurry to the kitchen and give you Go cook a bowl of noodles."

She didn't care if she was scolded, Yuansi ran to the kitchen as soon as she saw that she was obedient.

"Hehe, this girl is afraid of strangers. Leave her alone, she will be fine in a while." The old lady didn't take it seriously at all, she dragged her son into the house.

Li Mubao didn't care too much, seeing that the yard and the house were almost the same as when he left, so he felt much more at ease.

After entering the room, the old lady poured water to wash his son's face, and Li Mubao immediately unpacked the baggage he was carrying after entering the room.

"Mom, I came back in a hurry, and I didn't buy anything for you, so I brought back some old clothes. You can change them for you and Xiaosi." Well, the brothers in the company made them for a few soldiers who had recovered and returned home. Although they were all worn out, they were still good things at this time. They were changed into good clothes for the family members.

The old lady walked to the table, picked it up and looked at it, "You can just come back, what do you do with these, we have everything in our house, and we don't lack anything." From the old lady's current perspective, there is no shortage of cloth or cloth in the house. There is no shortage of clothes, and I really don't like other people wearing leftover old clothes, but these military uniforms are different, and the color is enough to make people rare.

Soldiers in this era are very admired, and even if someone can wear a military uniform, others will be envious.

"This is all made up by comrades in arms. Besides, I have brought it back, so you can do it yourself." Li Mubao thought that the old lady was just stubborn, so while she was checking her clothes, he started to use the water basin. Wash your face and hair.

When he finished packing, the old lady put down the clothes in her hand and sat on the side waiting for him.

"Come on, tell mother, why did you come home so suddenly? I didn't say anything about coming back in the last letter. Did something happen in the army? Don't be afraid, tell mother the truth." The old lady The heart of a person is like a mirror. She was very excited when she saw her son come back today, but after the excitement, she realized that her son probably came home because of something.

But she also knew that no matter what it was, it was not easy to make it public, so she smiled all the way and didn't ask a word.

Li Mubao was still smiling when he heard the old lady asking this question, and he gradually became bitter, but everyone went home, and even if he didn’t want to talk, he couldn’t do it anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and tell the matter, "Mom, I’m back!" gone."

He didn't even dare to look at his old lady's expression. At the beginning, his old lady was so happy to send him to the army, but he didn't expect that he would not live up to his expectations. After serving as a soldier for a few years, he returned home.

"What, recovered? What's the reason? Someone bullied you? Oh my god, why are there villains bullying us orphans and widows everywhere? No, I have to go to your leader for a review. , This is still..." The old lady knew that her son's temperament was not the mischievous child who caused trouble, so when she heard her son say that he recovered, the first thought was that someone was framed, so she was very excited and started filming thigh.

"Mother, no, no one bullied me." Li Mubao came as soon as he saw what his old mother said, and the sweat on his forehead immediately came down, but he still insisted on explaining quickly, "There are documents from the army last month. The company commander made me recover."

"What? What document?" The old lady couldn't understand.

"It's a red-headed document issued by the state to the army." Li Mubao knew that his mother had little knowledge, so he could only tell her what those documents were from the beginning.

The old lady became more and more silent as she listened.

"At first we didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just nonsense. There are so many of us, how could we all let us go home at once. But then the political commissar talked to me, told me a lot of national policies, and finally asked I want to support the country's decision." Li Mubao said more and more quietly, he has no idea about whether he is a soldier or not, if he wants to, he doesn't have to be a soldier, and he has to train non-stop every day in the army , It's not easy at home yet.But he didn't dare to say that, if he did, my mother would beat him out with a broom.Besides, there is a difference between being driven back and returning home by oneself. He is still a man even if he has no water.

The old lady pursed her lips, looked at the top of her son's head for a while, and then asked again, "Are you the only one who recovered?"

"No, no," Li Mobao raised his head and hurriedly shook his hands, "Several comrades in our company have recovered."

He didn't say that those who were restored were similar to him. They had been in the army for a short time, their professional ability was not strong, and their training results were always at the bottom after four years. Such soldiers were the first to be restored.

The old lady didn't speak, so she fell silent.She is very rare for her son. Similarly, she also understands his son's temperament very well. He is the same as his father. Do you have to pick him for such a winkless operation?

Li Mubao peeked at his old lady a few times, and felt that with his character, he might get mad at him in the next second, so he couldn't help but excuse himself, "There are a lot of people involved in this restoration. Well, the country can't arrange jobs for everyone, but our company commander is very kind to me. When I came down, he specifically talked to me again, saying that the army would recommend me to work in the textile factory in our county, and gave me A letter of recommendation. Mom, look, this is it." He hastily handed an envelope that was always kept next to his body to the old lady, hoping that the old lady would not be so scary because of this thought, and his heart was always firm. .

The old lady managed to pull herself together, took the envelope and opened it for a look.

Yuansi, who was watching the commotion here in the kitchen, burst out laughing unkindly. This old lady is quite decent, but she probably got angry in her heart, and even forgot that she couldn't read.
