The old man's eyes were glued to his son, as if he could never look enough. After a long time, a little crystal appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Old Four, you've lost weight."
Hua Jingmin felt a surge of bitterness in his nose. He looked carefully at his old father whom he had not seen for a long time, and wanted to sigh that time makes people grow old.
But he suddenly discovered that his old father was in surprisingly good spirits, his hair was still dark, and he had even gained a little weight.
The atmosphere was tense, but the words were on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't say them. After a long while, I could only force out a sentence:
"...Dad, you're still as powerful as ever."
He turned around and looked around Dafang Village, which he had not seen for twelve years, and sighed:
"After all these years, the village remains the same."
Ever since Hua Wan came late, the Hua family has been living a much more high-profile life. They eat dry rice every day. They don’t have meat every meal, but at least they have meat every two or three days.
Even though the old man got up early and worked late every day to tend the land, he couldn't stand the good food and gained a little weight.
Farming is extremely tiring. Hua Tiansheng has worked hard for half his life, and there must be some injuries on his body, but isn’t it Hua Wanchi who secretly fed the spiritual spring to the whole family?
You may not see any significant effect after drinking one or two sips, but after drinking it over the years, the aches and pains in the body and the strain on various parts of the body will slowly recover, and you will feel more energetic the more you drink.
When Hua Jingmin left, every family was so hungry that they had to tighten their belts. Now, although supplies are still scarce, at least they are not so hungry anymore.
Just looking at the changes in the village, you can't really tell anything. After all, although people are not starving to death, they are still quite poor. Many families used to live in thatched huts, and they still live in thatched huts now.
Wan Qingliu asked, "Old Four, how long can you stay at home this time?"
Sooner or later, he had to face it. Hua Jingmin sighed, prepared himself mentally, and told the story.
"I'm not going back."
Wan Qingliu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and apparently thought of something:
"Did you come back injured?"
Hua Jingmin wiped his face guiltily:
"Actually, I'm almost well now, but I'm not really fit to serve in the army anymore."
Actually, even if he hadn't been injured, he would have had to retire in a few years, so this is just a little early.
However, according to the salary of the battalion commander, it is several thousand yuan in recent years!
If he had retired from the army at that time, with a few thousand dollars, I wonder how glorious he would have been!
Wan Qingliu really wanted to hit him, but looking at his pale face, she couldn't bear to do it, and tears almost burst out again.
"You've obviously been hurt a lot before, you little brat! And you're hiding it so well without saying anything! If you hadn't been unable to stay in the army this time, we probably wouldn't have known you died out there!"
Hua Jingmin's previous unit was stationed at the southwestern border, and he was basically sent out every time border conflicts and flood and mudslide disasters occurred.
Not to mention those dangerous missions, he also suffered a lot of injuries during normal training.
He was lucky and had a long life, so he had never encountered any fatal situations.
This time he was unlucky and encountered a faulty shell, which exploded him directly. Fortunately, he did not lose any limbs, but unfortunately, he was seriously injured.
And this time the injury is irreversible, which means his body can never recover to its original state.
Wan Qingliu saw that he had no broken arms or legs, his eyes were bright, and he could hear sounds, which meant that he had suffered internal injuries. He was afraid that his health would not be good in the future, and his heart began to ache again.
"Just stay home and take care of yourself! We have everything we need. Just tell mom what you want to eat. Look how thin you are. You're just a bag of bones. If you don't eat more, you'll be blown away by the wind."
Hua Jingmin was somewhat helpless. How could he say these words as if he were talking to a child? He was already thirty!
When he left, Lao Wu was still a ten-year-old kid. In the blink of an eye, he was twenty-two years old and married. He was eight years older than Lao Wu!
It only takes a few steps to walk from the village entrance to home.
Before Hua Jingmin turned around and saw his own yard, he smelled the aroma of meat wafting towards him, and felt a little puzzled.
Who's eating meat here? It smells weird.
Then I looked towards the yard of my home. There was a well-behaved little baby sitting in the yard eating roasted sweet potatoes, digging them out with a spoon. He was so cute.
At first glance, he saw a little kid sitting on the ground in the corner of the yard, moving around, covered in mud. If it weren't for the kid's fair skin, he would have almost not noticed her.
Hua Jingmin looked at his mother for help.
Before Wan Qingliu could say anything, Hua Xuguo bared his teeth and proudly lifted Hua Wanchi up by her armpits:
"This is my daughter, isn't she cute!"
Hua Jingmin looked at the little kid with a silly smile and mud on his face. He was silent for a moment and then complimented him against his will:
"Is this Chi Chi? He looks smart."
Hua Wanchi looked at Hua Jingmin curiously. Is this her legendary third uncle who is a soldier?
According to the routine of novels, if there is a soldier in the family, he will usually be quite powerful, and his rank will at least start at the level of a small cadre.
Even if the plot is about a soldier being discharged from the army due to injury, the heroine as the wife can usually find a few thousand dollars in the savings.
Then wouldn't she be able to curry favor with someone else?
To round it off, she can be considered a child with a military background.
Hua Qingping laughed out loud and sarcastically said:
"Chi Chi is covered in mud, how can you find her cute? My daughter is better, she's pure and white."
When he heard his father mention him, little Youzi looked up, blinked his eyes, and smiled sweetly at Hua Qingping.
