70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 248

"Now that I am retiring from the army at this juncture, isn't that a deserter? And even if I don't care about other soldiers, I must be responsible for the dozens of brothers in our special brigade. How can you fight with peace of mind! Do you want your man to go to a court-martial and be stabbed in the back for the rest of his life?" Xu Zhongjun said with some seriousness.

"Okay, I'm not just worried about you, just talk about it, why are you so serious!" Xie Xiaonian said coquettishly after giving Xu Zhongjun a blank look.

Xu Zhongjun saw that Xie Xiaonian finally no longer had a bitter face, and his expression relaxed a little, and he said softly: "I know you are worried about me, but you can't say such things outside, you know?"

"I know, I'm not stupid! Check again to see what is missing. You have been on the battlefield before and know what is needed on the front line. If something is missing, I can prepare quickly!"

Because he was afraid that someone would come to visit during the day, Xie Xiaonian left the space after tidying up everything.

According to Xie Xiaonian's idea, it is better for Xu Zhongjun to stay in the space until the sixth day, even if he can't practice marksmanship or something, but practice martial arts well, at least his body will be more flexible.

But obviously this is unrealistic. You can't be a big living person and don't show up for a few days.

However, although he can't stay in the space all the time during the day, he can still find some time to read some books. Although there are no southern plants in the space, there are still a lot of books, enough for Xu Zhongjun to read these few days.

So Xie Xiaonian took out several books on the southern climate, forests, plants, wild fruits, etc., and showed them to Xu Zhongjun.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. If you know more about the situation in the south, you will have more chances of survival. At the very least, if there is not enough food, you can find something to eat so that you will not go hungry.

In the next few days, Xie Xiaonian didn't go out much, after all, Xu Zhongjun was leaving on the sixth night of the lunar new year.

In the past few days, apart from checking to see if there was anything missing, Xie Xiaonian was making all kinds of delicious food for Xu Zhongjun to nourish his body.

As for the obvious luggage, Xie Xiaonian also packed up, except for some food, medicine and clothes, Xie Xiaonian also prepared some, so that when the time comes, Xu Zhongjun will have an excuse to take things out of the small bowl.

Although Xie Xiaonian only put a little of each item in the luggage, but because of the complete range of items, there are quite a few of them, and the two cloth bags are filled. This is Xie Xiaonian's streamlined luggage. , or more.

The morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month was destined to be restless. Those with family members accompanying the army, after breakfast, told their wives and children about their going to the battlefield one by one in accordance with the previous regulations.

For a while, the depressive cries of women and children could be heard from time to time in the courtyard.

When these family members were crying and packing their bags in the morning, the 1000 selected people, whether ordinary soldiers or leading cadres, were writing family letters and suicide notes with heavy expressions.

But everyone hoped that this suicide note would never be seen by the family.

After Xu Zhongjun went to the army, Xie Xiaonian couldn't calm down. The closer the time was, the more flustered she felt, and the calmness of the previous few days was gone.

In order to avoid thinking wildly, Xie Xiaonian picked up the pancakes, got up and went to the kitchen, planning to find something to do for herself.

In the end, when Xu Zhongjun came back at noon, he found that there were more than a dozen dishes on the table, even the fruits that shouldn't be there were prepared by Xie Xiaonian, and some dishes were already cold.

Although Xie Xiaonian looked very calm, Xu Zhongjun knew from the food on the table that Xie Xiaonian was faking it.

You must know that his daughter-in-law is usually very cautious, and she will think twice when she brings out things. There is no space for things that should not appear, and she usually waits for him to come back soon before putting out the food. will get cooler.

But Xu Zhongjun couldn't appease him, and at this time, he couldn't calm him down with just a few words.

So Xu Zhongjun could only resolutely not mention the matter of going to the front line as before, and planned to have a good meal with the family first.

While waiting to eat, Xie Xiaonian realized that the dishes on the table were already cold, and after hurriedly changing them with the hot dishes in the space, Xie Xiaonian almost broke down and cried.

But this was the last time Xu Zhongjun had dinner with her before departure, Xie Xiaonian wanted to leave a good memory for both of them, so he endured and endured, and said with a smile: "It's too cold, if you do this too early, it will be cold." Thankfully, there are some pre-made ones in the space, so you can eat them while they are hot!"

Because neither of them wanted to make the meal too sad, so they were all holding up their smiling faces, and there was a pancake who only knew how to eat and sleep, so the meal went smoothly.

After eating, Xu Zhongjun took the initiative to say: "Let's go into the space, I have something to say."

After hearing this, Xie Xiaonian paused for a moment with her hands clearing the table, thinking that what should come will always come.

So she didn't hesitate, put down the rag in her hand, and after washing her hands, the family entered the space from the bedroom.

"This afternoon, the army asked us to go home and pack our things. We don't need to go there, just go to the army to gather at 5 o'clock in the evening. After I leave, you have to take good care of yourself and pancakes at home, and don't take out the things in the space, so as not to It makes people suspicious. Parents, please don’t tell them for the time being. I’m afraid they won’t be able to accept it during Chinese New Year. My monthly allowance will be sent directly to you by someone from the army. If you want anything, just buy it directly. , don't worry"

Next, Xu Zhongjun gave a lot of detailed explanations. This is the most Xie Xiaonian has heard from Xu Zhongjun since the two got married.

After listening carefully, Xie Xiaonian said fiercely: "You don't have to worry at home, I will take care of it, but you must be careful and careful, and you must come back safely, you know! If anything happens to you, I will take care of you. Bring pancakes to remarry, let pancakes call someone else's father!"

"You woman, you really need to clean up! Don't worry, for you and pancakes, I will definitely come back safely." Xu Zhongjun hugged Xie Xiaonian tightly and gritted his teeth.

"You must always remember what you said." Xie Xiaonian also hugged Xu Zhongjun back, and instructed again.

Then for the next 3 hours, 300 hours in the space, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun didn't think about anything. The family was in the space, eating, drinking and playing like they were on vacation, enjoying the time together as a family to the fullest.

The days of getting together are always short, even if the time in the space is 100 times that of the outside, Xie Xiaonian feels that the time passes quickly, and it is almost time to leave in a blink of an eye.

Because the troops assembled at 5 o'clock, Xie Xiaonian had to send Xu Zhongjun out at 4:[-] pm.

On the way from his home to the small gate at the fence, Xie Xiaonian also met many other people who saw him off. Tears are falling.

Although Xie Xiaonian tried not to cry, she felt very uncomfortable, so she didn't make a sound along the way, but silently hugged the pancakes and followed Xu Zhongjun to the small gate.

Because everyone in the compound knew the news at this time, many people were watching the fun by the side of the road, but none of the adults or children were joking, and their expressions were not much better than those of the people who saw them off. After all, maybe One day, it will be their family's turn.

The people in the compound understand what war is better than ordinary people, so some are sad at this time, and some are glad that their members were not selected.

When the family of three walked to the small gate, it was already 4:40, and Xu Zhongjun had to go to the army to gather.

So Xu Zhongjun put down the luggage in his hand, hugged Xie Xiaonian and pancakes, and said firmly: "Wait for me to come back!"

Then he bent down to pick up the luggage on the ground, carried the bag on his back, and left without looking back.

He was afraid that when he turned around and saw Xie Xiaonian's red eyes, he would feel even more reluctant.

And Xie Xiaonian didn't say anything at this time, she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would whimper.

Panbing, who was still naive, thought that Xu Zhongjun was going out as usual, and he really waved goodbye to his father that day.

Xie Xiaonian didn't go back with the pancakes until he couldn't see Xu Zhongjun's back.

On the way back, Xie Xiaonian ran into Zhang Chunping whose husband also went to the battlefield. At this time, Zhang Chunping's face did not have the smile and vitality of going to the market years ago, her eyes were swollen, and she obviously cried many times.

Because each other was in a bad mood, the two of them didn't speak, just staggered and went home.

After Xie Xiaonian went back, looking at the cold and empty home, the tears could not be held back anymore, and flowed down like a bank.

Seeing that her mother was crying, Panbing hurriedly kissed her mother's face like usual mother coaxing herself, and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, baby don't cry! Give something delicious!"

Seeing the sensible pancake, Xie Xiaonian cried even harder, feeling like the sky was falling.

"Sister, don't cry, brother-in-law is so powerful, he will be fine, you have to trust him! And brother-in-law has been on the battlefield many times before, don't cry when you don't come back safely, If you keep crying, Pancake will cry too!" Seeing how sad Xie Xiaonian was, Xiaobai hurriedly comforted her.

Seeing the pancake, Xie Xiaonian also had an anxious expression on her face, she curled her mouth to look like she was about to cry, raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face vigorously and said, "Xiaobai, you are right, the Zhongjun is so powerful, it will definitely be fine, I want I have confidence in him, I want to be happy, I can't cry like this, it just adds bad luck."

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian tried her best to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, but her tears were uncontrollable and kept flowing down, looking more pitiful than when she was crying.

"Sister, don't laugh if you don't want to, it's uglier than crying!" Xiao Bai said distressedly.

"Look at the pancakes, I'm going to find something to do for myself!" Xie Xiaonian went into the space and put the pancakes in the study, and then went swimming in the sea alone. Now she couldn't tell the seawater was on her face. Still in tears.
