Chapter 21



In the not-so-big single dormitory, there stood three tall men of similar build.

The third battalion commander, Lü Tao, was not a slow-witted person. He spoke up to break the inexplicably stagnant atmosphere: "What...what happened?"

Hearing this, Shao Zheng shifted his gaze away from the guilty Old Chen, and reached out to take the clothes that belonged to him from Lu Tao's hand.

Then he walked to the closet and, as expected, found a pair of identical trousers.

While Shao Zheng cursed Lao Chen in his heart for being a bastard, he also explained to the tall man who looked confused: "This dress is mine."

Lu Tao was even more confused and couldn't help muttering in his heart. He knew that the two had a good relationship, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

Not only are their clothes hung together, but they are also wearing exactly the same ones?

With his thoughts wandering like this, he couldn't help but make strange associations, and then he looked at the two of them with strange eyes.

Chen Wuwen, feeling guilty, didn't notice that Shao Zheng actually saw through Lu Tao's suspicion and laughed out of anger. "What are you thinking? The clothes were made by our two sisters."

This made Lu Tao even more confused: "You two have a common sister?" Why had he never heard that these two were relatives?

Chen Wuwen immediately stopped talking: "What are you talking about? She's my sister! She's my biological daughter! What does it have to do with you?"

Shao Zheng said nothing, but just shook the clothes in his hands.

Chen Wuwen felt aggrieved.

I really wanted to curse, but he was in the wrong.

Fortunately, this kid didn't know that he had hidden something else. Before he could finish his lucky thought, he saw Lao Shao rummaging around in the house again. Chen Wuwen's eyelids twitched, and he pretended to ask casually: "What are you looking for?"

"What have you hidden, you bastard?" As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Zheng took out two blue lapel shirts from the closet.

Chen Wuwen. Shao Zheng simply stopped looking for it. He calculated in his mind how many packages Chen Wuwen had received recently, and then reached out: "Give it to me!"

"What?"

"After the Chinese New Year, your family sent me things five times. Did you take the initiative to give them to me, or did I call my sister to ask for them?"

Of course, we can't let this kid complain to Yu Yu, doesn't he have any face? His sister admires him as a big brother, so Chen Wuwen gritted his teeth and said, "You are so cruel."

However, worse things are yet to come.

After Shao Zheng had a pile of things in his arms and confirmed that he had no other gifts, he kindly explained to the Third Battalion Commander, who was trying to hold back his laughter, "This shirt of mine is quite suitable for you. If you wear it on your blind date, it will definitely work out."

Lv Tao, who had almost forgotten his business while watching the fun, suddenly had his eyes light up. He was about to ask for a loan while rubbing his hands together when he heard Deputy Captain Shao apologize again, "It's just that my size is too small for you. We are about the same height, but I look much more frail than you."

You are talking nonsense! You are shameless! Lu Tao and Chen Wuwen roared in unison in their hearts.

Everyone knows that although Deputy Colonel Shao looks like a scholar, he has incredible muscles underneath his clothes, and few people in the entire military region can match him.

Shao Zheng seemed not to notice the constipated faces of the two men, and continued to fill the hole: "Old Lu, don't worry, Old Chen's physique is the closest to yours, and he will definitely lend it to you for such a big thing as your blind date. We brothers have been in the army for many years, and it is not easy for us to start a family."

After saying this, the man no longer cared about what was behind him, sang Jun Ge, and strode back to his dormitory with his sister's love in his arms.

Lu Tao rubbed his hands shamelessly, looking at Chen Wuwen with hope in his eyes: "Deputy Captain Chen, what do you think about this?"

My new clothes!

I never wore it once! = My second brother joined the army and left.

Together with Brother Tiezhu, they left with the farewell of the whole village.

Of course, the villagers only sent them to the village entrance.

Chen Nongmo and his group followed them all the way to the county town, along with several village cadres.

There were more than two hundred new recruits in the entire county, plus people seeing them off, and the nearby streets were packed with people.

People in the world are always different.

But at this moment, no matter which corner you look at, you can see similar earnest instructions and sadness of parting.

When they finally parted, Chen Nongmo and Qiuhua's mother waved goodbye to Cao Liu with a smile.

It was not until several military trucks slowly drove away and there was no trace of them left that Chen Nongmo's eyes became red like the other people around him who were seeing him off!

I can't bear to let you go! We've only been together for less than half a year.

But she just felt very uncomfortable.

I want to cry! She is like this. It is not difficult to imagine how much of a blow this separation must be to Qiuhua's mother, who raised her second brother.

The facts were indeed the same as Chen Nongmo had guessed.

I don’t know when, Qiuhua’s mother was squatting on the ground and crying loudly.

So, Chen Nongmo quickly calmed himself down and tried to comfort people together with his three brothers who also had red eyes and Zong's father.

Cao Qiuhua really couldn't bear it anymore.

The main thing is that the child has never left my side since childhood. No matter how old the second child is, he is only 20 years old.

It was similar to the feeling when her eldest daughter left home at the age of 18. It took her many days to come to her senses.

Seeing her husband and children anxiously surrounding her, Cao Qiuhua waved her hands with a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I'll be fine in a few days."

Having said this, her eyes swept over the other children one by one.

Then the tears that had finally stopped started falling again.

People who are very sensitive are probably like this. If they are not sad, it’s fine. But once they are sad, they will explode.

Cao Qiuhua was extremely sad: "In another year or two, you will all be gone. Woohoo"

After hearing this, Chen Nongmo and others immediately shook their heads to indicate that they would not leave and would not go anywhere.

No matter what, let's coax the person into submission first.

= When I got home, Cao Qiuhua had stopped crying.

But his eyes were badly swollen and he looked particularly miserable.

As a result, Chen Nongmo and his siblings completely ignored the sadness of parting with their second brother and spent the whole day hanging around their old mother.

The next day, if it weren't for being chased away by Zong's father, the brothers and sisters would have wanted to ask for leave.

After spending nearly half a year together, Chen Nongmo had never seen Qiuhua's mother cry.

Even the three brothers are rarely seen, so tension is inevitable.

But, no matter how worried I am, skipping classes is never a good idea.

Even if it is the norm in this era, we must restrain ourselves and not follow the crowd.

Arriving in the town, Chen Nongmo said goodbye to the twins and Chen Huai, a high school student who had to live in the county town, and continued the last two months of his second year of junior high school.

The high school entrance exam will be held in early July.

Although they have always occupied the top three places in the class, they still have to be cautious.

You have to go to high school no matter what.

The ideal is great, but the reality gave a heavy blow to the three young people who wanted to strive for progress.

The teacher taught half a day, and around two o'clock in the afternoon, he suddenly asked for leave for something.

There were already more than a dozen students there, and now they all cheered and rushed out with their backpacks.

The four brothers and sisters had no choice but to leave school early.

When passing by the post office, Chen Nongmo pulled his fifth brother who was riding a bicycle.

Chen Yi propped himself up with his long legs and looked down at his sister who was sitting on the front bar: "What's wrong?"

Chen Jun also poked his head out from the back seat: "Is Lao Liu hungry?"

Chen Nongmo shook his head and pointed to the post office, saying, "I want to call my eldest brother and discuss with him about visiting my parents during the summer vacation. If he says it's inconvenient, I won't go."

As for why he didn't ask his parents directly, Chen Nongmo said there was no need.

She was sure that if she revealed even a hint of such thoughts in her letter, her parents would sternly reject her suggestion.

Because in the eyes of his parents, Chen Nongmo, who had suffered from dementia for 15 years, was no different from an ignorant little kid.

My sister privately told her brothers that she wanted to go and see Demao's father during the summer vacation.

They naturally support it, after all, they are their biological parents.

So after understanding what the little girl meant, Chen Yi turned the steering wheel without saying a word and rode towards the post office.

The three siblings had no idea that the second brother Cao Liu didn't want his family to be too sad because of his departure, so he secretly called the eldest brother, and the eldest brother was already on his way home.

= Shao Zheng has been in a good mood these two days.

I believe that after what happened that day, Lao Chen will never dare to "withhold" things that belong to him again.

He has no shortage of clothes, but he lacks a sister.

Especially in the past six months, whenever Old Chen mentioned his sister, he always showed off in various ways.

Gradually, Shao Zheng, who only had two older brothers, couldn't help but feel envious.

Who doesn’t want to have a well-behaved sister?

Unfortunately, the Shao family was more prosperous than the Yin family, and among the relatives, only the eldest uncle's family gave birth to a cousin.

My cousin is a typical soldier and is now serving as a squadron leader in a newly established special force. She is busier than him all year round and has a stronger fist than him.

Thinking of the scene when he was beaten by his cousin until he was grimacing when he was a child, Shao Zheng quickly shook off the horrific image in his mind and turned his thoughts back to Old Chen.

Tsk. Calculating the time, that bastard will be able to meet his sister in two days, right? We can't let Old Chen take all the good things.

Just as Shao Zheng was thinking about whether he should write a letter to his mother who was far away in J City, asking her to find some things that teenage girls would like as a return gift, the broadcast from the communications company rang out.

It’s Lao Chen’s home call.

Shao Zheng knew that Lao Chen went back quietly this time and planned to give his family a surprise.

So I thought of answering the phone for him to help cover up the lie.

However, he didn't expect that after the call was connected, a soft and gentle voice came straight into his ears through the receiver.

Shao Zheng was caught off guard and was stunned.

Especially when I heard the girl on the other end of the phone introducing herself in a soft voice as Chen Nongmo.

The first reaction in his mind was. Although he did not see his sister before Lao Chen, he won this time.

As far as he knew, Lao Chen had not yet spoken to Nong Mo's sister on the phone.

Moreover, his sister calls him brother.

Although he might have mistaken himself for Lao Chen, it did not affect Shao Zheng's happiness.

Then he cleared his throat, introduced himself to the girl on the other end of the phone, and went straight to the story of Lao Chen going home to visit his relatives.

Since he already called him brother, it was understandable that he didn't help Lao Chen to cover up his lie.
