Pei Zheng turned around and said, "I'm just passing by. You guys continue, just pretend I don't exist..."
"Did you go hunting with a gun? Did you catch any prey?" Lu Nong interrupted Pei Zheng's nonsense and asked curiously.
Pei Zheng: “…” Why are you talking about something else?
"No," Pei Zheng said with a sad face, as if someone owed him money, "I wanted to have two rabbits as a snack, but I didn't even get a single rabbit hair."
One of the biggest slippers in life is that rabbits are so cunning.
"Haha, you're not that good." Lu Nong laughed saccharinely, and forgave him magnanimously because of Pei Zheng's misfortune.
Pei Zheng was angry and refused to communicate with Lu Nong anymore. No matter how Lu Nong teased him, he didn't say a word.
Pei Ji'an stood up from the hammock, looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back to the house."
Lu Nong and Pei Zheng temporarily ceased fighting.
When they returned to the wooden house, Mother Wu was humming a tune while making a wreath. The old lady had picked handfuls of wild flowers from somewhere and divided them into several piles. When she saw Lu Nong and his friends coming back, she excitedly told Lu Nong how big the radishes were and how many wild flowers there were on the farm. So, with the belief that if she didn't pick any, she would lose them, she picked several bunches in one breath and brought them back to decorate the house.
Lu Nong looked at the table full of wild flowers, the corners of his mouth twitched, how many handfuls were these?
She reached out to pick up one to play with, but with a "snap" her hand was knocked away by Wu's mother. "Don't move. I plan to put those branches in the vase. If you pick them up, they will be messy."
Lu Nong: “…” It seems that this trip was a good one. The old lady is radiant and has even developed an amateur hobby.
Before dinner started, the old lady finally arranged all the wild flowers. The family of five, Lu Nong, Gu Huai and the old lady herself each received a wreath. Pei Jinan and Pei Zheng received bracelets woven with thin soft flower branches. The rest were all tied into bouquets and placed in various corners of the room to decorate the room.
It must be said that the old lady has a good sense of aesthetics. The originally gray house is decorated with flowers, which makes it quite wild.
It gets dark very quickly here. Once it gets dark, you can't see your hand in front of you. Everything is silent and it seems as if there is only one room and one oil lamp left between heaven and earth.
The family finished their meal at the kang table with an oil lamp, tidied up and prepared to go to bed. When it was time to go to bed, Pei Zheng was still angry about Lu Nong laughing at him and continued to ignore Lu Nong.
Lu Nong: “…”
When the positions were assigned at night, Mother Wu slept at the head of the kang with the baby, Lu Nong slept next to the baby, and Pei Zheng and Pei Ji'an slept at the other end of the kang, far away from the head.
Lu Nong and Pei Ji'an slept next to each other in the middle, while Pei Zheng and Wu Ma slept on both sides.
There were only two quilts in the wooden house, which were not enough for five people. In the end, Lu Nong and Wu Ma's son shared one quilt. Pei Ji'an gave the other quilt to Pei Zheng and put on a military coat. Fortunately, there was firewood burning under the kang, so the temperature was high.
But don't underestimate Pei Jinan's military coat. The military coat issued by the army is made of very rich materials. It is not only warm but also very heavy. Such a piece of clothing can replace a small quilt.
Pei Ji'an's military coat was tailor-made according to his height. He was tall, so the coat was too big for him. Lu Nong almost fell down when he held the coat alone.
The firewood under the kang was still crackling. Pei Jinan said that if the firewood was not taken out, it would burn for most of the night.
Lu Nong was not used to covering herself with someone else's quilt. Fortunately, her baby was a little angel who saved her. The baby smelled the scent of its mother and snuggled into Lu Nong's arms. Lu Nong hugged the soft and tender baby and also smelled the familiar scent. The mother and daughter slept peacefully.
In the middle of the night, Zizi got up to urinate. He crawled out of the quilt he and his mother shared, crawled over Lu Nong, and then climbed over Pei Ji'an, climbing over mountains and ridges to Pei Zheng's side and pushing him.
"Pot, tut, tut~"
Pei Zheng woke up immediately. He also had the habit of getting up at night. When he was at home before, in order to take care of Grandma Wu and let her sleep well at night, Pei Zheng changed his schedule. According to Gu Huai's time to get up at night, he took him to the toilet every night, and after that he took the kid back to his room to sleep.
This time was no exception. After the two brothers went out to have some fun, they came back and crawled into the quilt, snuggled together and fell asleep sweetly.
They both slept soundly, but since Lu Nong had nothing to hold in his arms, he started to become restless and fumble around aimlessly.
Mother Wu was far away from her. Lu Nong turned over to Mother Wu's side but couldn't touch anything, so she turned back again, but this time she encountered a wall - the military coat was a bit cold and hard.
Lu Nong was unwilling to give up in her sleep. She slid her little hand along the warm seam and finally touched something warm. Like a little loach, she grasped this bit of warmth and burrowed in little by little...
The owner of the military coat indulged the little loach and allowed her to squeeze her entire body in.
No matter how big the military coat is, it is not a real quilt. If Pei Ji'an were to cover himself with it, his legs and feet would be exposed, not to mention Lu Nong squeezing in. In order to get warm, Lu Nong could only move in a little further and get closer to the heater...
The final effect was that Lu Nong curled up in Pei Jinan's arms, with his legs wrapped around his thighs, their breaths smelling each other's.
Some people calmed down quietly, while others fell into a deep sleep.
Some of the disparity in the world.
The next morning, Squad Leader Lao Wang brought two chickens and ducks to serve as a snack for the Pei family, and also stayed in the cabin to have breakfast with the Pei family.
At the dinner table, squad leader Lao Wang saw Pei Zheng looking depressed and asked him what was wrong. Pei Zheng was still depressed about not getting any prey yesterday and being laughed at by Lu Nong.
Seeing that squad leader Wang cared about him, Pei Zheng's eyes rolled and he stuffed the baby in his arms into the old squad leader's arms, trying to bribe the old squad leader with the baby, then rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly: "Uncle Wang, do you have time today? Take me to play that?"
He pointed to the shotgun on the wall.
"Huh?" The baby grabbed the spoon in confusion, why did the food disappear?
Squad leader Lao Wang hugged his son and laughed, "Why don't you let your dad take you there?"
Pei Zheng thought to himself that the old house was on fire, so he had no time to care about his son's life or death. However, he said with a playful smile, "Am I not being close to you?"
Squad leader Lao Wang thought for a moment, then turned to Pei Ji'an and said, "Brother, the shooting range left by the southern troops is still there. Would you like to go there with me to practice?"
Then he looked at Lu Nong and asked, "Will your sister-in-law go?"
Lu Nong was extremely interested and nodded frantically, looking at Pei Jinan with bright eyes. Under the triple pressure from his wife, son and old comrades, Pei Jinan finally agreed to go to the shooting range.
After dinner, the four of them drove a jeep to the shooting range. According to Squad Leader Lao Wang, there were troops stationed in the mountains, and the troops would go down the mountain for training from time to time, so they built a shooting range on the south side of the farm. When Squad Leader Lao Wang's hands were itchy, he would often go to the shooting range to practice.
When we arrived at the shooting range, squad leader Lao Wang took out a few special shooting guns and said, "These are discarded ones. My troops and I are going to use them as hunting rifles."
From the moment Pei Ji'an took the gun from Squad Leader Lao Wang, he became both fierce and calm, and his temperament changed, as if this gun was born to be in his hands.
He pulled the safety bolt, loaded the bullet, raised his hand and aimed at the target 800 meters away, and the bullet was fired almost at the same time he raised his hand, without even blinking.
The entire set of movements is smooth and flowing, more standard and faster than those shot in TV dramas. If the opponent is a real enemy, there will be no time or opportunity to react.
Then Pei Ji'an fired three shots without hesitation, and every shot hit the target. Lu Nong was almost weakened by his handsomeness.
Pei Zheng ran over, took down the target paper, and ran back, saying excitedly, "All ten rings, Dad, you are amazing!"
Squad leader Lao Wang said with a smile, "Your father crushed the others in the military academy. Later, he joined the army and became even more amazing. He was the best marksman in the military region and won the first place in shooting competitions every year. Later, he stopped participating. No one has broken the record in the past five years. Let me tell you..."
Pei Zheng and Lu Nong listened attentively. Although Pei Zheng knew some stories about his father from the uncles in the army, what Squad Leader Old Wang talked about were all about Pei Ji'an's early years, and there were many things he had never heard of.
Lu Nong knew Pei Ji'an even less than Pei Zheng, so she listened even more attentively.
Squad Leader Lao Wang had not yet finished speaking when Pei Zheng and Lu Nong turned to look at Pei Jianan with admiration almost overflowing in their eyes.
Pei Zheng loves hot weapons. He was the first to be unable to resist, and his puppy eyes flickered: "Dad, please teach me, teach me."
Lu Nong was cold and the macho man was acting coquettishly. Sometimes men have no limits in order to achieve their goals. That is to say.
Pei Ji'an also frowned, "Be more normal."
Pei Zheng felt aggrieved. Last time he saw Lu Nong use this trick, it worked. Why didn't it work for him?
Squad leader Lao Wang was watching the excitement from the sidelines, "Why didn't your father teach you? That won't do. As the saying goes, fathers and sons fight together. Pei Zheng can go to the army directly without taking the military academy entrance exam. I think your physique is perfect."
Pei Zheng certainly had plans to join the army. He had already thought about it. He would join the army as soon as he graduated from university. If that didn't work out, he would take the military academy entrance exam. With his level, there was no way he couldn't pass it. He was so confident.
Pei Ji'an was a father after all. He asked Pei Zheng to hold the gun, corrected his posture, and told him the essentials of holding a gun, as well as the methods and tricks of aiming.
Pei Zheng grew up in a compound and was familiar with the uncles in the army. He had touched a gun himself and had a good uncle teach him how to shoot. But he never thought that one day his father would teach him in person. Pei Zheng was so moved that he almost burst into tears.
But just after he was moved for a short while, he saw his biological father turn around and walk to his stepmother, and asked her gently, "Do you want to try it?"
Pei Zheng: “…” So love will disappear, right?
This sentence was blurted out by his stepmother once, and Pei Zheng felt that it was very appropriate to use it to describe his mood now.
Lu Nong was eager to try it, this was a real gun, she touched it again and again, her blood boiled, she imagined that after she learned it, she would become a violent beauty hahahahahahaha.
Pei Ji'an patiently explained to Lu Nong the same way he explained to Pei Zheng. He did not have any prejudice that women could not hold guns. Pei Ji'an knew that Lu Nong was quite skilled and it was not a bad thing for her to learn more.
Lu Nong is a very smart person. He can almost immediately understand what Pei Jinan said and put it into action. Pei Jinan thought of Gu Huai's ability to remember everything he saw at a glance, paused, and began to teach Lu Nong the actual operations.
Under Pei Ji'an's instruction, Lu Nong raised her gun and got into position, but the gun jammed several times. Pei Ji'an surrounded her and spoke in a deep voice in her ears, "Focus, don't be distracted by the surroundings, your target is only in front of you, shoot."
"Bang!"
Lu Nong staggered due to the recoil of the gun, and Pei Ji'an supported her from behind, "Good girl, you succeeded."
The author has something to say:
Pei Zheng: Will love really disappear?
Pei Jinan: sneer.
