The days in summer always seem endless.
The night passed quickly, and was followed by a long, scorching day. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, always staying motionless for a long time.
The weather is very hot.
The sun was scorching the earth, there was not a breath of wind all day, and the trees on the mountain peaks were drooping and lifeless.
It was a sultry afternoon, without a breath of wind. Cicadas were desperately calling "hot... hot...", and even an ant was hard to find on the ground.
In the living room, Wuyi walked to the yard in an upset mood, wandered to the door, and waited under the shade of a tree for Zhou Jiao's return.
"Mom, it's going to rain these two days, right?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile, "That's something you have to ask God. Why don't you use a fan inside the house? It's so hot outside."
Wuyi took the umbrella from her hand and held it for her. As he walked her inside, he complained, "The wind is so hot, what a waste of money."
Zhou Jiao looked speechlessly at her son, who was more than a head taller than her.
You really don’t know how lucky you are!
There are ice trays, electric fans, and you can rest without doing anything...
How many people in China could enjoy this kind of treatment? She was now very suspicious that this child had been skipping classes before the summer vacation.
And I went to the army during the summer vacation before...
Zhou Jiao smiled thoughtfully at the thought. So, they were waiting for her here—she was just saying, why would she be bothered by the heat?
"Hey... Mom, a good man has ambitions. Do you think I should go out for a walk? Staying at home reading books all day will make me a nerd."
Zhou Jiao walked into the living room without saying a word and took a towel from the washbasin rack. The water in the washbasin was ice-cold. It seemed that the child had put ice cubes in it again.
She glanced at her son with a smile without saying a word.
Wuyi smiled ingratiatingly, "I don't want to go on vacation to the beach with them, but I also don't want to stay at home all summer. It's so boring to be alone at home."
"That's perfect. Aren't Shitou and the others going back home these days? Ask them to buy some extra tickets so they can go back and stay with your grandparents for a few days. I heard we've planted a lot of fruit trees in our yard."
"Oh my god, what's so good about fruit trees? They won't bear fruit for a long time. Besides, I'll have no one to accompany me back home. My grandparents might still be in the provincial capital."
"Mom, you're so smart, you must know where I want to go, right?"
How could Zhou Jiao not know?
Didn't she just hear that Ping An and Liu Yi were doing internships at the grassroots level during the summer vacation? But she already had two sons in the military, and she didn't want her remaining son to be kidnapped again.
How nice it is to be a local college student.
The same college students, during summer vacation, some are spending time with their loved ones under the moonlight, while others are drinking and singing, talking about the wonderful life...
But what about the military academy students? What are her two sons doing at this time?
Maybe he is driving a tank over mountains and across rivers, pulling the trigger and hitting the target every time, crawling under the scorching sun... Maybe there are still hardships and dangers that she is unknown to.
"Mom, I haven't been in the army for training since last winter vacation. I don't know if I've regressed?" Wu said as he looked at her face.
"I think that no matter what you do in the future, you can't rely on anyone else. You have to have good skills yourself. Do you think my grandfather doesn't need to worry when he goes out?"
"Also, the distance between my three brothers has grown too great. My eldest and youngest brothers will definitely not play with me anymore. The more I think about it, the more upset I feel."
Zhou Jiao paused for a moment as she heard the words, then continued to pull the towel to make it straight.
"My three brothers have never been apart for so long. I miss my brothers and am worried about whether they are participating in any dangerous activities. I am also worried that they will be bullied if I am not watching them."
"And my little brother. When we twins team up, good things always happen. I kind of regret not going to military school. It would have been so much better if my big brother hadn't gone..."
After May Day finished speaking, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye and sighed dejectedly.
Zhou Jiao was a little shaken by her youngest son's words, whether they were true or false, but she remained calm and went back to the living room to sit down.
Wuyi rolled his eyes, followed behind, diligently poured her a cup of warm water, and waved a palm-leaf fan at her.
As soon as Zhang Guoqing entered the door, he saw his youngest son smiling and telling funny stories to make his wife happy.
Thinking of the child's request when he was running this morning, he shook his head with a smile.
"Dad, you're back? Come over and rest."
Zhang Guoqing looked at his son: "..."
"Mom, let's get back to the point. Look, my dad is back. He and my grandpa also think I should exercise more with my brothers. Will you be able to pass?"
Zhang Guoqing glared angrily. This damned brat! When did he even agree? Oh, his wife will definitely not let him hold her at night.
"I used to be a supervisor for my brother, and I could even spy on you and my dad, right?"
Zhou Jiao looked at her son with a half-smile, and finally nodded, "Be careful out there."
Wuyi jumped up happily when he heard that. "Mom, I knew you were the best. Dad, you're the best dad too. Oh, why am I so happy!"
Zhang Guoqing rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, then looked at Zhou Jiao suspiciously. He understood his wife's thoughts best, so why would he let the tiger go back to the mountain?
Seeing this, Wuyi was so scared that he ran to his side and said, "Dad, you are so sweaty, don't make my mom feel irritated. Come on, your son will take you to take a shower."
"Get lost."
"Your son is filial, and you're not happy? Come on, I'll rub your back." Wuyi hugged him tightly and pushed him to the bathroom. "Dad, I got you some red wine. It's my mom's favorite brand..."
Zhou Jiao laughed heartily as she watched Zhang Guoqing being dragged away by her son. This brat was like he was afraid she would go back on her word. How could he go back on his word after she had already agreed?
The moon was in the sky, and the atmosphere was... well, very good. Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao, who was enjoying her son's filial gift under the moonlight, and asked, "Wife, how did you get along?"
"Seeing the expectant look in my child's eyes today, I suddenly recalled some past events. I have always followed my own heart and walked my own path, but why must I suppress my child's wishes?
My three sons haven't even reached their rebellious stage yet. They respect me as their mother and always consider the overall situation. Why should I suppress them in the name of maternal love?"
Only when the little tiger is released back into the mountains and forests and passes the test of blood can it become successful; only when the dragon endures the extreme conditions of the abyss can it rise from the storm.
Only after being trained in the military camp can her little tigers have sharp teeth and strong claws.
No matter what the starting point of May Day is?
He was right about one thing: no matter what you do in the future, you can't rely on anyone else, you have to have good skills yourself.
Just like her father, with so many guards around him, if his life is really in danger, he will always have a better chance of success than someone who is powerless.
For example, her husband has supernatural powers and good skills, so she feels more at ease when he goes away.
