Chapter 179 Xiao Family, Xiao Chenwen's Past
The captain opened and closed his mouth for a long while, then said dejectedly, "Sister-in-law, I am sorry for what happened to Old Four. I am the one who…"
Mother Xiao waved her hands, "Don't mention it, don't mention it. The fourth son died for his country. As a mother, I feel heartbroken, but I am also proud of him.
But my little five..."
The captain waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll think of another way."
On his usually happy old face, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Chen Ye and Ran Ran are tired too, stop standing there and help your mother go back and have some rest."
Xiao Chenye nodded, "Uncle, we got it."
Wen Ran watched Xiao Chenye help Xiao's mother back to the house. After thinking for a while, he said to Xiao's father, "Uncle, I'll go see the captain off. He's in such a bad condition and I'm afraid something bad will happen to him on the way home."
"I'll go."
Father Xiao wanted to send her off, but was stopped by Wen Ran, "Uncle, it's Aunt who needs you more now."
Father Xiao nodded and sighed, "Of course, don't think that we are selfish. It's really..."
Under the moonlight, tears sparkled in his eyes. "The anniversary of the death of the fourth brother is around the corner. Your aunt's mood goes through ups and downs every year at this time. Please don't mind it."
"Yeah, I know."
No wonder I never heard about the situation of the fourth son of the Xiao family from the Xiao family members from beginning to end.
So, it’s gone.
Seeing Xiao's father enter the house, Wen Ran quickly caught up with the captain.
In the dark night, the old man's steps were a little unsteady.
"Uncle."
When the captain heard Wen Ran's voice, he quickly turned his head and wiped the tears from his face.
Turning his head, he asked softly, "Why are you here?"
"It's the middle of the night, and I was afraid you wouldn't look at the road and fall again, so I came to see you off."
"It's okay," the captain cheered up again, "How could I fall at such an important moment?"
He had to go home, get a good night's sleep, and wait until tomorrow to go to the commune to ask his leader for a hunting rifle.
No matter what, the bear that has taken a human life in its claws cannot be kept alive.
Otherwise, can the children in the brigade withstand the violence?
Wen Ran sighed, "Uncle, I..."
"You don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to feel embarrassed. Think about it, it's also my fault for not thinking it through carefully enough."
Wen Zhiqing was not originally a member of the Stupid Roe Deer Brigade. In the past year, he has helped the brigade a lot inside and outside the team, but this does not mean that he has to risk his life for the brigade.
Song Shilan was right, and the captain could understand her feelings. As parents, who wouldn't want their children to be safe and healthy?
Especially since the young couple is about to build a house and get married.
What happened at this moment...
"Nothing like that," Wen Ran already had a plan in mind, and lowered his eyes, "Uncle, I'm just a little curious, there can't be only one bear on this mountain.
How can you guarantee that you will find it?"
"Bears have their own territories. Generally speaking, the bear won't be far away from our team."
The captain paused and said, "Besides, the bear was hit by a shovel by someone in the team, and there was a large bloody patch on its arm and chest."
Wen Ran silently took note, and then said: "Uncle, can I ask you something? What's going on with the fourth child of the Xiao family?"
"Old Four," the captain's lips curled up unconsciously with a smile, his eyes were red and wet, "That's a good child, he! He is different from the other children in the Xiao family..."
The fourth son of the Xiao family is named Xiao Chenwen. Perhaps because of the name, he has been studying since he was young.
Same exam, same 100 points.
To say something disgusting, if they scored 100 points, it means they have the ability to get 100 points, but Xiao Chenwen scored 100 points, but he only got 100 points on the paper.
Whenever the test results were announced, it was Xiao Chenwen’s highlight moment, and it was also the time when all the children in the team hated Xiao Chenwen the most.
You said, everyone took a red lantern home, but you, Xiao Chenwen, were so awesome that you took a fried dough stick and two salted duck eggs home.
Of course, he was never beaten.
The third brother has high martial arts skills, the fifth brother is also a seasoned veteran, and this kid is young and can be very ruthless.
Hit where it hurts.
Among the four brothers of Xiao family, three of them are as tight as a rope.
Everything went smoothly.
Until five years ago, there was a heavy flood here and the dam collapsed.
Xiao Chenguang had already joined the army at that time, and Xiao Chenye was still young and had just started learning to drive.
Xiao's mother was also happy. Her life was better and her children had grown up.
The most frustrating thing is that the children are disobedient when they grow up. When people talk about getting them married, they are so happy that they even sleep with their big buck teeth showing. But the three children in the Xiao family are different.
When he talks about getting married, he shakes his head like a rattle.
She had everything planned out. She had to marry wives one by one. She would first conquer the biggest problem in the family, Xiao Chenguang.
Next is the taciturn man of the family, Xiao Chenwen, and finally the carefree youngest son, Xiao Chenye!
Of course, my daughter Morning Star has to stay for a while.
But sometimes bad news is so unreasonable.
When she went out in the morning, Xiao Chenwen did not forget to say hello to her mother, but he left and never came back.
The dam was half collapsed, but it was held.
But her son didn't come back.
Her most promising son, Xiao Si, did not come back.
We agreed that he would come back early today so that she could make buns for the whole family in the evening.
She has already bought the meat, and she wants the best fatty pork belly.
Chop it into stuffing for buns, and take a bite. It's so greasy and fragrant that you want to swallow your tongue along with it...
Xiao Chenwen's body was nowhere to be found, and all that was returned home was a black-and-white photo and a tablet with her son's name on it.
A cenotaph without a body...
Her living son turned into a small sign with red letters on a yellow background.
It says Martyrs' Home on it.
The captain sighed, "This is a concern of the Xiao family, and also of Shi Lan. No one dares to mention it again."
Wen Ran was in a low mood and her heart ached.
She took a deep breath, sent the captain home, and hurried back, meeting Xiao's mother on the way.
She was afraid that Wen Ran would be bold and run up the mountain again.
"Ranran, we can't go. Bears are too scary," Xiao's mother's face was still wet with tears. "They are so tall and big. With your small body, how can you stand up to them?"
"Aunt, I didn't go," Wen Ran hurriedly wiped away Xiao's mother's tears, "I just saw that the captain was old and it was unsafe for him to walk alone at night, so I sent him off.
Look at you, why are you still crying? Aren't you ashamed?"
Mother Xiao cried and cried, then smiled, raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and dragged Wen Ran home.
Wen Ran was very obedient. When he got home, he started saying he was hungry. Xiao's mother was busy cooking.
After the meal was ready, the family sat down to eat. Xiao's mother was exhausted from all the trouble and mentally exhausted, and soon fell asleep in her side.
Wen Ran went out quietly, "Chen Ye, uncle, I'm going to take Hong Guo home first."
Xiao Chenye: "Let me take you there."
"Goodbye," Wen Ran refused, "Auntie is in a bad mood right now. If she wakes up soon, she will be worried again if she can't see you.
I am with Hong Guo, it is safe, you guys can take a rest too."
"OK."
Xiao Chenye originally had a lot to say, but...
Forget it, let’s wait until this period calms down and then we’ll talk about it.
