Urban Special Troop

Three days before the military region's martial arts competition, Shao Xi suddenly received a call from his family.

It was his mother on the other end of the line, and Shao felt an ominous premonition at the sound of her voice. "In the past, whenever my mother made a phone call, she would always smile, but this time, her voice was very heavy." Son, you, can you take a leave of absence to come back? " the mother said softly.

"What's wrong, Mom? Did something happen at home? " Shao asked eagerly.

"Son, you have to be strong, okay?" the mother said softly.

"What's going on?"

"You, your grandmother, he, he —" said the mother, sobbing.

"What happened to my grandmother? Is she sick? " Shao asked anxiously.

"Your grandmother, she died at two this morning." It was as if the mother had mustered a great deal of courage to say these things.

"My grandmother, she, she died?" Shao Xi suddenly burst into tears.

Could all this be true? How could she leave him, my dear grandmother?

Shao had grown up with his grandmother, who had given him all her love. The news was like a bolt from the blue, stabbing Shao Xi's heart deeply. Her grandmother's voice and smile appeared in her mind, leaving behind only sadness. Her benevolent grandmother, her kind grandmother, she did not escape the call of death and went to another world. Could it be that she would never be able to see her again?

Shao Xi was stunned for a long time when he heard the news from his mother.

In his mind, his grandmother's smile appeared once again, as if she was telling him to do so.

"Good grandson, go work hard in the army and try to become a big official. Try to do more for the country!" "Grandmother's warning once again echoed in my ears." "Grandmother, don't worry. Your grandson will definitely give you something to eat. When we get back home, I'll buy some good food for you!" "Good grandson, as long as you have any future, grandmother will be satisfied —"

Shao Xi's mind was flooded with scenes about his grandmother. How could he accept the reality of her death?

On the other end of the line, his mother asked again, "Little tin, can you come back?"

Shao Xi ruthlessly wiped the tears from his eyes, but the disappointing thing kept on flowing upwards. " Mom, I can't go back. I'm going to participate in the military contest in two days, so I can't go back to show my filial piety. You kowtowed a few times in front of my grandmother's grave and said that my grandson was unfilial and couldn't go back to see her off — "At this moment, how could he prevent the choking pain in his throat, the greatest pain in his life, the heavy responsibilities of his country and army on one side and his loved ones on the other, Shao had no other choice.

"Can't you ask the leader for a day off? A day is enough, and when your grandmother left, she was still saying your name, and there were tears on her face — "she pleaded, sobbing.

"Mom, how did my grandmother die? Isn't she in good health? " Shao Xi whimpered.

"Son, your grandmother is old, after all, and —" Mother stopped.

"And what?" Shao Xi asked.

It was only at the insistence of Shao Xi's third son that his mother told him the truth.

It turned out that half a year ago, when Shao's aunt had lost her life to the Great Encephalitis, her grandmother had succumbed to a severe shock, and had gradually fallen into a trance. She was in bed, and her body was growing weaker and weaker — these mothers, fearing Shao was affected, did not dare to tell him that they had not told Shao until her grandmother's sudden death.

"Mom, why … why have you been hiding this from me? "Why?" Shao Xi could not hide the pain in his heart.

— After hanging up, Shao Xi was about to collapse.

Grandmother, dear Grandmother, she had left him forever.

Although his heart was in pain, Shao Xi still had to pull himself together and not let anyone see his depression. On the training field, he hid everything and wholeheartedly prepared for the final two days.

In the evening, Shao Xi did not sleep.

Shao Xi went to a few trees behind the barracks and knelt down in the direction of his home.

The tears in his eyes couldn't stop.

"Grandma, forgive this grandson for being unfilial, this grandson has a task on his shoulders, I can't go back and send you off." But why did you leave your grandson so soon? Didn't you say you were going to wait for me to become a military officer? Didn't you say that you wanted to let this grandson try out the cloth shoes you made? Didn't you say that when I had a chance to bring you into J City for a couple of days of fun — but all this was not done, and before the grandson had a chance to show his filial piety, you would leave the grandson forever and go to another world forever. "

Shao Xi fiercely kowtowed to the ground a few times and looked in the direction of his hometown. The pain of losing his family members was so intense, so heartbreaking. Shao Xi was such a strong man, but now that his grandmother had passed away, his heart was about to break.

"In the dim light, Shao Xi seemed to have heard his grandmother's orders." Good grandson, you have to perform well in the army. Although grandma has gone, I still look forward to your future. I look forward to you fighting for my grandma. Your progress in the army is my grandmother's greatest consolation — "

"Grandmother, you can rest assured that this grandson will not let you down. I will definitely remember your teachings and instructions and perform well in the army!"

Shao Xi knelt there for four or five hours, feeling no pain in his knee at all.

When the sun was about to rise, Shao Xi put his hands on the ground and struggled to get up. After a while, he walked towards the barracks.

Shao Xi had never mentioned this to anyone. He only had one thought in his heart, and that was that he had to make a name for himself, and that was to give his grandmother, who was in the underworld, the best comfort.

Yes, troops were troops, and between collective and individual interests, between patriotism and kinship, they had no choice. Since he had chosen this path, he would have to face the possibility of an imminent attack.

Shao Xi felt a little guilty. When his grandma died, he couldn't even see her off.

However, the date of the military contest wouldn't change in the slightest due to the sorrow of the people. This day was about to arrive.

The boxing training had also reached the final stage of consolidation and practice. Shao Xi led his team members to practice overtime, ready to welcome this big event. The team leader was quite carefree. In order to let the boxing members adjust their mood and perform at their best during the tournament, the team even organized and arranged for the boxing members to travel for the whole day.

Yi Chun Garden, this is a very unique tourist attraction in J City. The air is especially fresh and refreshing, with birds singing and flowers fragrance, and hundreds of beautiful flowers competing with each other. However, just as everyone was happily taking photos with excitement, the brigade suddenly called and told the boxers to go back immediately for their final review before the match.

Faint! Everyone's feelings were immediately ruined by the sudden call.
