Chapter 917 Is My Son Brave?
After knocking for a long time, the old cat finally opened the door.
His hair was messy, half of his T-shirt was torn, there was half a shoe sole print on his face, and there was a washboard mark on his knee.
"Hey, you're back?" The old cat was surprised and delighted.
"Get over here and kneel down, you idiot, you've been dancing with me every day. No one can save you today!"
The voice of Mrs. Cat is committing domestic violence against the old cat.
Judging from the scolding, it seems that Brother Mao was caught while trying to pick up some girls.
"What's the point of arguing? My daughter and her son-in-law are back!" The old cat shouted, "We'll talk about what we have to do later."
"Ah? Kitty's back!"
"Let mom take a good look!"
Sister Cat ran over and pulled the kitten into the house, she was extremely happy.
"This woman deserves a beating!"
Brother Cat rolled his eyes, looking indifferent.
"Lei Zhen, you didn't even call me before you came back so I could clean up. It's not right for you to show up out of nowhere."
"You have to be polite when dealing with people. You have to see if they're willing to visit you before you do. You're doing this wrong!"
"What are you looking at my face for? Are there any shoe prints?"
Brother Mao scolded Lei Zhen. With his current identity and status, he could scold him however he wanted without any consideration.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you angry because your father-in-law said a few words to you? We are sworn brothers, but that was in the past!"
“Plop!”
Lei Zhen knelt on the ground.
"Fuck, what do you mean? Are you trying to fool me? When the child is not around, we are still brothers. When the child is around..."
Just at this moment, Lao Mao saw the label on the camouflage bag: Sun Yinhu - left behind.
Just one glance and his body shook violently, his eyes widened into an expression of disbelief.
“This, this…”
He knew exactly what this meant, as he had personally delivered many of these bags back then.
"Yes." Lei Zhen nodded: "I'm sorry!"
"Little Tiger, what are you doing..."
The old cat's eyes were filled with tears. He gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground with his knees bent.
This is a kneeling thank you, thanking the person who brought the news of death.
"Are you two sick? You're kneeling at the gate. Do you want to swear brotherhood again?" came the voice of Mrs. Cat.
"My son died." said the old cat.
"What did you say?" Mrs. Cat came over.
"My son has sacrificed his life." The old cat took a deep breath and said, "Kneel down and thank you!"
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Mao was shocked and stood in the yard in a daze.
"Mom, my brother really died. Lei Zhen brought me back to announce his death. Woo woo..."
“Sacrifice, sacrifice…”
Sister Mao was trembling all over and her face was pale.
She suddenly rushed towards Lei Zhen like crazy.
"How did you take care of my son? Bastard, I told you..."
"Shut up—" the old cat roared, "Kneel down and thank you!"
Mrs. Mao burst into tears and knelt down to thank Lei Zhen, the messenger of death.
This is the rule, not Mrs. Cat’s rule, but Old Cat and the others’ rule.
After expressing his gratitude, the old cat stood up and helped his sister-in-law, who was so sad that her body was weak, into the house.
The moment he turned around, Lei Zhen clearly saw that he was staggering and seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.
After entering the house, Old Cat helped his wife sit down, silently took out a tissue to wipe his wife's face, then hugged her in his arms and patted her shoulders gently.
It took a long time before Sister Mao stopped crying.
"Lei Zhen, thank you."
She was no longer as aggressive as before, and no longer blamed anyone. All that was left was the pain of losing her son.
Without making any noise or fuss, he held the old cat's hand tightly.
"The body couldn't be brought back, so it was buried at sea." Lei Zhen said in a deep voice, "The bag contained his personal belongings. Xiaomao and I brought them back."
When the kitten saw her parents sitting like this, she wiped her tears and sat next to Lei Zhen.
The atmosphere was filled with sadness, but not in the way one might have imagined.
My parents accepted it and showed great strength.
The kitten naturally followed suit.
"Then we can only build a cenotaph." Old Cat pursed his lips and said, "I'm familiar with this. Let's find someone to take care of it."
"good."
“…”
There was no martyr's funeral, just a small-scale one.
During the funeral, Lao Mao always held his wife's hand, like the most majestic mountain, supporting his wife's emotions.
This is the old cat, this is the old cat couple.
They knew that their son had not been expelled from the army, but had simply gone underground to carry out overseas missions for the country.
Especially the old cat, who is used to seeing sacrifices.
When it was his son's turn to sacrifice, he was sad, but more proud, even though no one could tell about this pride.
The kitten stayed with its parents and unknowingly learned to be strong.
The funeral is over and relatives and friends are sent off.
The couple stared at Sun Yinhu's portrait blankly, then they started to smile, and tears streamed down their faces as they smiled.
"Xiao Zhen, is my son brave?" Mrs. Mao asked with tears in her eyes.
"Brave, very brave! His name is engraved high in the Hunter School, and his martyr status has been confirmed..."
Lei Zhen took a deep breath, put out his cigarette and stood up.
"Dad, Mom."
"Kitten, stay with you guys. I have to go."
Time waits for no one, he has to go back quickly and start the plan in full swing.
"Wait a moment before you leave. I'll make some dumplings." Mrs. Mao wiped her tears, stood up, and went into the kitchen to make dumplings.
The old cat also grabbed Lei Zhen's hand, his eyes full of anticipation.
"good."
Lei Zhen sat down.
In fact, he couldn't sit still anymore and just wanted to leave quickly.
He never thought of letting Brother Mao and his wife bury their son, but he had to do it.
"I don't ask about your mission, but I want to ask when it will be over?" Brother Mao said in a hoarse voice, handing Lei Zhen a cigarette.
"Should it be soon?"
Lei Zhen took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.
"That's good, that's good..."
Brother Mao nodded vigorously and patted his shoulder heavily.
He didn't know what the mission was, nor was he qualified to know the content of the mission, but he knew what he should do.
The two grown men smoked silently until the dumplings were served.
"Xiao Zhen, eat it while it's hot."
Mrs. Mao handed over the chopsticks with unprecedented tenderness, and her eyes showed her love for the child.
Their son was sacrificed, and the Lei Zhen in front of them was their son-in-law and half a son.
Moreover, this half-son has to go out, and I don’t know how he will come back next time.
Lei Zhen finished the whole plate of dumplings in silence.
When he put down his chopsticks, he could clearly see the reluctance and worry in Brother Cat and Sister Cat's eyes.
There was also a kitten standing not far away. Its eyes were clearly filled with tears, but it stood there obediently, looking at itself silently.
"I'm leaving."
Lei Zhen stood up and strode out.
"Xiao Zhen, you must come back alive!" Sister Cat urged, "We are waiting for you at home, and the little cat is waiting for you at home too."
Lei Zhen stopped, turned around and smiled brightly at them.
He saw tears in Brother Mao's eyes, and he found tears in his own eyes too...
This is really not something a human should do!
