Night falls.
The sky is full of stars.
The corridor of the military office area was quiet.
Two guards stood straight outside the commander's office.
The eyes of the usually unshakable soldiers all lit up when they saw the tall and strong figure approaching from a distance.
After the person walked in, one of the guards grinned and silently called out, "Brother Cao."
Cao Liu smiled and nodded: "I'll go in and find the chief."
The guard said nothing, but stepped aside.
Cao Liu went forward and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A majestic and heavy voice came through the wooden door.
Cao Liu pushed open the door and, not surprisingly, saw his leader with gray hair busy at work.
He strode over and said respectfully but intimately, "Commander, it's time to go back and rest."
Feng Shan looked up, and after seeing clearly who was in front of him, a smile appeared on his slightly rigid face: "I guess it's you, kid."
Cao Liu reached out to help organize the documents: "It's almost 10 o'clock, and Doctor Liu just told you to get enough rest, but you didn't listen to the doctor's advice."
Knowing that it would be difficult to continue today, Feng Shan smacked his lips twice, stood up and turned his stiff neck a few times, and then complained: "Why are you so obedient, kid? If you don't know, you would be thought to be Lao Liu's guard."
Cao Liu did not respond to this. Having been with the leader for more than two years, he knew very well that the leader was just joking at this moment.
He was more concerned about the relaxed look on his leader's face, so he asked with a smile, "Is the problem solved?"
Feng Shan nodded at him and said, "You can't hide anything from me, kid."
Feng Shan did not elaborate on the rest of the conversation, and Cao Liu did not ask. He locked the sorted documents in a drawer and followed his leader out of the office.
When the other two guards turned off the lights and locked the door, he had already walked behind the leader, illuminating him with a flashlight.
The problem that had been stuck for half a month was finally solved. Feng Shan was in a very good mood. He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the dormitory. He seemed to have remembered something and looked back at the tall young man who was following him: "Didn't I give you a holiday?"
Cao Liu: "Knowing that you're not going back to your family compound today, I guessed that you'd be staying up late again, so I came to check on you."
"You kid, is it still my fault?"
Cao Liu smiled and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Feng Shan smiled and shook his head. He really liked this boy, not entirely because of his good skills. To be honest, the army was not short of skilled soldiers, but there were not many who were skilled, smart, and capable of handling affairs.
Especially after having her by his side for more than two years, he admired her more and more, and wished he could keep her by his side all the time to do things for him.
But he values talent more. As long as such soldiers are well trained, their future will be limitless. He is willing to give some help to young people.
Thinking of this, after turning a corner, Feng Shan jokingly asked, "I heard that Political Commissar Wang is looking for you again?"
Cao Liu was helpless: "Who told you that?"
Feng Shan waved his hand: "Don't worry about who told me this, just say it's yes or no."
"That is true, but you know, I have no plans to get married at the moment."
"You don't like the girl from Political Commissar Wang's family? Then what kind do you like?"
"I haven't even seen it, how can I say whether I like it or not? I just think that I'm still young and don't think about those things."
"You're right, but I heard that Political Commissar Wang promised that if you became his son-in-law, he would get you a place in the military academy. Isn't that a pity?"
Cao Liu pushed open the dormitory door, turned on the light, waited for the chief to come in, closed the door and smiled back: "Didn't you apply for it for me? I'm counting on you."
Feng Shan was not surprised that this clever boy saw through his thoughts. He washed his face with the water he had prepared and scolded him with a smile, "You are quite clever."
"The chief taught me well."
"Hey, you little brat, don't take the matter with Political Commissar Wang to heart. He just saw that you have a promising future and wanted to find a suitable place for his precious daughter at home."
Cao Liu lowered his eyes, realizing that this was the main purpose of the chief chatting with him tonight. Although others didn't know, the senior leaders were aware of the complicated background behind him.
Whether it is Demao’s father, his eldest brother and sister-in-law’s family, or the Shao family.
No one is a fool, including him. Political Commissar Wang may be attracted to him as a person, but everyone knows how many of them are attracted to him because of his background.
Of course, Cao Liu wouldn't mind this matter.
He placed the teacup in his hand on the table next to the leader, smiling as kindly as before: "Look at what you said, I don't have that idea myself, I want to fight for a few more years. In fact, I can understand Political Commissar Wang. Not to mention that he is a father, even if I meet an outstanding young man, I will also think of arranging things for my sister." No wonder! Feng Shan untied the military uniform that had been restraining him for a day, and just loosened his sweatshirt twice, he was amused by Xiao Cao's words: "You kid, you are really good at praising yourself."
After saying this, he picked up the cup beside him and took a big sip of water before continuing, "Are you going to accompany your younger brother and sister tomorrow?"
Cao Liu smiled: "Yes, I haven't seen you for two or three years."
Feng Shan waved his hand and said, "Then go back and rest, spend some time with your family. There are foreign exchange coupons in the drawer, take them yourself, it's a gift from the old man to the two children."
"Okay, I'll go back first. You can have some rest."
"I know, I know."
After going out with a small stack of foreign exchange coupons.
Cao Liu talked to the guard on duty about the things he needed to pay attention to before going to his dormitory.
On the way, he reviewed what happened today in his mind, making sure that nothing was missed before he began to focus his thoughts on Lao Si and Yu Yu.
Gradually, a genuine smile appeared in Cao Liu's eyes.
I haven't seen them for more than two years, and I don't know if they have changed much.
= The next day.
Shao Zheng drove a car borrowed from a friend for three hours and arrived at the gate of the army where Cao Liu was serving at 8:30 in the morning, half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
The car was turned off, and he looked at the little girl sitting in the passenger seat, who was sleeping with her eyes closed and her cheeks flushed: "Yu Yu? Yu Yu"
Chen Nongmo opened his eyes in confusion, subconsciously looked outside the car, and asked vaguely, "Are we there yet?"
Shao Zheng unscrewed the kettle and handed it over. When his eyes met the indentations on Yu Yu's cheeks from sleeping, he chuckled, "Here we are. Drink some cold water to wake up."
Chen Nongmo was indeed a little drowsy. He reached out to take the kettle and took several gulps in succession before he was completely awakened by the cool feeling in his throat.
I noticed that the soldiers standing guard not far away were looking over here frequently: "Shall we go down?"
The temperature is high today. It's not even nine o'clock yet, but the sun is already scorching. Shao Zheng stopped him and said, "I'll go over there."
"Don't you need to register?"
"No, we are not entering the army. Please ask the guard to notify us." Shao Zheng opened the door and got out of the car. Before he could finish his words, he saw the little girl who was afraid of the sun and curled up obediently, opened the door and jumped out of the car without even a hat.
He turned around and saw a very eye-catching tall and strong figure in the distance running towards the gate.
"Second brother! Second brother!" Chen Nongmo didn't want to get too close to the gate, but he was so happy that he couldn't help but stand at a safe distance, waving and shouting at people.
Cao Liu had already arrived at the gate and was registering. Seeing this, he smiled and waved to his sister: "Yuyu, come here."
Hearing this, Chen Nongmo trotted over.
When I got closer, I realized that even after two or three years of not seeing each other, time could still be traced.
In the past in Shanshun Village, no matter how steady and versatile my second brother was, he had limited knowledge and was somewhat immature and simple.
But now, after the experience, the second brother seems to have been reborn.
To put it bluntly, the person in front of me no longer has any rusticity at all.
Even though he had a smile on his face all the time, he still looked particularly imposing.
"What are you daydreaming about? Don't you recognize me?" After Cao Liuding finished speaking, he turned around and saw his sister looking up at him curiously. He stretched out his big hand and rubbed her head skillfully.
Chen Nongmo took a step back, protecting his hairstyle, and smiled: "Second brother has changed a bit."
Cao Liu nodded to the guards who were looking at his sister, and as he led them out, he asked with a smile, "What changed?"
".Everything has changed."
"Where's the fourth one?"
"In the car."
“.”
The brother and sister asked and answered each other in a very harmonious atmosphere. Several soldiers at the gate watched the two people walking farther and farther away, and it took them a long time to recover from their shock.
Cao Liu was a celebrity in their military region, and everyone knew him.
One of the reasons was of course that he was the guard beside the army commander, but more importantly it was because of his excellent record in all aspects.
People always admire the strong, and this trend is especially prevalent in the military.
Whether it's fighting skills or firearms techniques, Cao Liu's skills are superior to others, so it's hard for him not to be famous.
In the morning he came to the gate to say hello, saying that his younger brothers and sisters would be coming over and asked them to keep an eye out.
No one thought much about it at the time, let alone expected what his sister would look like.
However, who would have thought that Guard Cao, who was as strong as a hill, had a sister who was not another hill, but a delicate girl who was so beautiful that it dazzled people.
This is unscientific.
Really a biological child? That's impossible? = "Brother Shao Zheng, Yu Yu and Lao Si have caused you trouble." Cao Liu said gratefully.
Shao Zheng raised his hand and patted the other person's strong shoulders, then subconsciously adjusted his direction, shielding the little girl in the shadows, and smiled back: "Why are you being so polite to me? Get in the car first, I've ordered a private restaurant, a century-old brand that's not open to the public."
Seeing this, Cao Liu, who remembered that his sister was afraid of the sun and had intended to help block the scorching sun, had his eyes darkened and smiled calmly, "The third child is not as lucky as me."
The leader that Chen Huai is protecting has gone to visit the grassroots troops to express his condolences recently. He probably won't be back in a short time, so most of us won't be able to see him this time.
Knowing that the second brother was just being polite, Shao Zheng still thought about it and said, "We are all in J City. If it suits your taste, I will introduce you to the owner of the restaurant later. You can bring the third brother to try it. You can also go if you want to invite someone."
"I understand. Thank you, brother." No matter what position one is in, socializing is inevitable in life. Cao Liu understood that this was to open up opportunities for him. After all, from ancient times to the present, there are many places that cannot be entered even if one has money.
He never doubted that Brother Shao Zheng was good to them, but thinking of the scene he had just seen, Cao glanced at his sister without leaving a trace.
"You're so polite again." Shao Zheng didn't notice that Cao Liu was not right. He was carefully looking at the young man who was one size bigger than both Lao Chen and himself, and praised him, "You have a great physique. When I saw you seven years ago, you were only as tall as my shoulders, but now you are taller than me."
In fact, Shao Zheng is quite tall, 188 cm barefoot. Coupled with his well-trained physique, he stands out from the crowd no matter where he is.
Cao Liu straightened his back, letting people look at him, and said with a smile: "It shouldn't grow any longer. I measured 192 cm half a year ago, and it's still the same now."
"He's 1.9 meters tall, and he's about the same size as me."
"The Third"
Seeing that the two men didn't feel hot at all and just stood in the sun and started chatting, Chen Nongmo had to reach out and push the man in front of him: "Let's get in the car first and talk on the way. It will take more than two hours to drive to the city center."
We have to hurry up, my second brother only took one day off.
Shao Zheng naturally agreed and opened the passenger door as usual.
The borrowed car was a second-hand jeep discarded by the army, and the chassis was too high for a girl.
Shao Zheng stood beside the car. When he saw the little girl climb up swiftly, he withdrew his protective hand, closed the door, and called Cao Liu: "Second brother, get in the car and talk."
Cao Liu After the car started, Cao Liu raised his hand and hit the fourth brother who was sleeping soundly beside him.
Chen Jun woke up with a scream of pain and stared at people in confusion.
Because he was going to see his second brother, he was so excited that he fell asleep very late yesterday. Today, he got up before dawn again. Chen Jun was really very sleepy.
Not long after getting on the bus, I fell into a deep sleep.
I was awakened by the real pain. Just as I was about to get angry, my eyes met with a familiar face.
Instantly, the hot-tempered young man forgot about the pain in his arm and stretched out his hand to pounce on the man, shouting excitedly: "Second brother? Is it really second brother?! I missed you so much!"
Cao Liu blocked the man with one hand and said disdainfully: "Stay away from me."
Chen Jun didn’t understand: “Why?” He had always liked to crawl onto his second and third brothers since he was a child. It was possible before, so why not now?
"Because you're stupid!"
".Second brother, why are you swearing at me?" Chen Jun felt very aggrieved that he started swearing at me when they met after not seeing each other for several years.
But he didn't dare to lose his temper with his second brother. He was upset for a while before he patted his sister's seat angrily and shouted, "Sixth brother, let's change seats."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shao Zheng, who was still watching the joke, slowly straightened the corners of his mouth.
= We haven't seen each other for a long time, so shopping or eating are not the main purposes.
What everyone wants more is to get together and chat.
Talk about the changes in each other after we separated.
As for what kind of occasion it is, it is not so important.
Of course, there is nothing better than having a delicious meal when you get together.
Not only are the dishes in private restaurants delicious, but the private rooms are also private enough.
After eating and drinking, the lazy group decided to stop thinking about wandering around elsewhere, made some tea, ordered some snacks, and sat on the sofa to chat.
It's all over the place, nothing specific.
If you drink too much tea, you will have three urgent needs.
Look, Chen Nongmo, who was listening to the men's conversation with great interest, took the small bag beside him and stood up.
".Commander Feng Shan is very careful about his reputation. The fact that he can recommend you to the military academy during this period proves that you have something extraordinary. So..." Shao Zheng was analyzing Commander Feng's character with Cao Liu, and were about to talk about the subjects that must be studied after entering the military academy, when he saw the little girl who was drinking tea and eating snacks nearby stood up.
"Where are you going?"
Chen Nongmo pointed outside: "I'll be back soon."
Shao Zheng subconsciously wanted to stand up and accompany him.
Cao Liu, who was standing opposite him, pressed the person and said, "Brother, I'll go with Yu Yu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other person stood up.
Chen Nongmo. Chen Nongmo, who went out with his brother, was speechless and protested in a low voice: "I'm just going to the toilet, you don't need to follow me."
Cao Liu raised his large palm-leaf fan-like hand and placed it on his sister's shoulder. With a little effort, he led her to the toilet: "What are you thinking about? I want to go too."
Chen Nongmo looked up at the man with a suspicious look in his eyes.
"Look at the road." Cao Liu put his big hand on his sister's head again, turning it to signal her to look forward.
He did want to go to the toilet, but more importantly, he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Yu Yu alone whether she knew how Shao Zheng felt about her.
Cao Liu has always been the most rational one. He knows very well that his sister will get married sooner or later.
Especially since my younger sister has a good temper, good education, good family background, and impeccable appearance, it is only a matter of time before she is loved by young men and matchmakers come knocking on her door.
He just didn't expect it to happen so soon, and the other party was his eldest brother's brother Shao Zheng.
At first Cao Liu was a little angry, but for most of the day, he kept finding fault with Brother Shao Zheng.
In the end, the only drawback is that it is old.
From a rational point of view, Brother Shao Zheng is indeed a good candidate.
What about Yuyu? He couldn't see any clues.
The little girl doesn't seem to understand yet.
But the sixth sister is only 18 years old, so it’s okay if she is not smart enough.
It’s not too late to find a partner in your twenties.
Cao Liu was thinking about something. After he finished peeing and came out of the toilet, he didn't see his sister, so he went to the rockery not far away and waited for someone.
"Cao Liu?"
As soon as I stood still, before I could see the words on the rockery clearly, I heard someone calling me.
Cao Liu turned around and met the gaze of Political Commissar Wang who was not far away. He immediately showed a kind smile on his face and strode forward to greet him: "Political Commissar Wang."
Political Commissar Wang was not alone, his wife and daughter were standing beside him.
Seeing that he had recognized the right person, he put on a gentle smile and said, "What a coincidence? You're here to eat too?"
Just as Cao Liu was about to say that he wanted to accompany his family, he caught a glimpse of his sister coming out of the toilet and waved to her.
Political Commissar Wang followed his line of sight and when he saw clearly the face of the little girl walking towards him not far away, he kept smiling but his eyes narrowed.
Cao Liu seemed not to notice the displeasure of the person opposite him. When his sister came over, he put his hand on her shoulder, and said in a protective manner: "Political Commissar Wang, this is my sister. I am here to eat with my family."
"Your sister?" The one who asked the question was Political Commissar Wang's daughter. She had a pretty face but a lively expression, and it was obvious that she was raised and spoiled by her family.
At this moment, her eyes were scanning back and forth between the brother and sister, and her suspicion was self-evident.
Chen Nongmo was amused: "Yes, my biological sister."
In her eyes, she is the biological sister of all the Chen brothers.
Political Commissar Wang's daughter's eyes lit up: "You are so pretty and have a nice voice. I have never seen anyone prettier than you."
Chen Nongmo was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that the other person, who looked no younger than him, would be so naive.
Here, knowing that the two were siblings, and being certain that his beloved daughter was not being disliked, Political Commissar Wang smiled again and chatted with Chen Nongmo in a very friendly manner: "Then you must look like your mother."
Chen Nongmo said innocently: "How do you know? I look a lot like my mother, and my second brother looks like Zong. My second brother looks like my father, but my father is a little stronger than my second brother."
Political Commissar Wang was really surprised by what he said. He glanced at Cao Liu, who was smiling and letting his sister do what she wanted, and said tentatively, "I really want to meet him if I have the chance."
Chen Nongmo smiled and said, "Maybe I can really see him. I plan to take my parents to J City in two years to have a look."
Political Commissar Wang's eyes flickered: "You are right. The condition is to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland."
"."So, the old man and the young man, like friends who had known each other for many years, started chatting right there.
"Yu Yu?" After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, Shao Zheng looked for her worriedly.
Looking at the man approaching, Cao Liu took the opportunity to speak: "That's my brother, Political Commissar Wang. I won't disturb you while you're having your meal."
Political Commissar Wang nodded and said, "Go ahead."
After hearing this, the brother and sister said goodbye to everyone tacitly and strode towards the tall man under the corridor.
I didn't expect to walk a few steps before I heard a coquettish female voice: "Dad, if you want to find a partner for me, why not find someone like Brother Cao Liu? I like that kind of person."
The brother and sister looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to the man who had obviously heard what he said.
Feeling like he was being laughed at, the handsome Shao Zheng turned around and left.
But at this moment, Political Commissar Wang's voice was heard, "Nonsense, what's so good about a pretty boy?!"
Political Commissar Wang obviously lowered his voice, but every word he said still reached the ears of several people.
Looking at the figure walking in the front, who froze for a moment and then obviously fled in panic, the brother and sister couldn't help laughing.
Only after they turned around the corridor and were completely out of the sight of Political Commissar Wang's family did Cao Liu and Chen Nongmo laugh.
Hearing the little girl's bell-like laughter, Shao Zheng, who was originally a little annoyed, suddenly became less angry.
He turned around, and from a few steps away, he pointed at the little girl unhappily, with a doting look in his eyes that he himself hadn't noticed: "Smile."
After saying this, Shao Zheng pointed to the toilet and indicated that he wanted to go there too.
After the people left, Cao Liu slowly stopped smiling, looked at his sister, and asked hesitantly: "Sixth sister, you know."
Chen Nongmo, who had never shown any unusual behavior, had a cunning look in his eyes and interrupted his brother directly: "Second brother, I'm still young."
Cao Liu Cao Liu, who was successfully deceived by his sister, took a while to find his voice. He said with a smile: "Little fox!"
After saying that, he added, "Don't you mind my age?"
Chen Nongmo blinked and thought that based on her age in her previous life, she was older than Shao Zheng.
But now she is an 18-year-old girl.
Although Shao Zheng's appearance, personality, work, etc. are all in line with Chen Nongmo's aesthetic.
But, for many things, just let nature take its course.
So, she finally said: "Don't worry, I'm still young."
