Huang Doudou has not had a good year this year, or she has not had a good year since she was born. Other people's children always wear new clothes, eat delicious food, and hold endless New Year's money in their hands during the New Year. However,
None of this has anything to do with her. She basically has a task during the Chinese New Year, a task that must be completed.
kowtow!
Kowtowing without fun can be found all over the country. Her flight ticket has been booked long ago. She wants to kowtow to the old man's old subordinates who are still alive to pay New Year greetings. She has to kowtow to those who have been lying in the martyrs cemetery for decades.
, although the old man did not follow her, there were guards taking photos of her wherever she went.
All of these people have contributed to the country, and some have even saved the old man's life. Therefore, as long as the old man lives, as the successor of the Huang family's military uniform, she will always have endless kowtows to make.
Tanghu is a small place, but Tanghu has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The old man used to fight from the northwest to north China and then to the northeast, and finally even to the southwest. But for the old man, Tanghu is very important every year.
It is a place not to be visited because his father is buried in the Martyrs Cemetery here. His father died in Tanghu in battle. His father was also a soldier and an unknown company commander.
However, the old man feels that he can serve in the army all his life and be a high-ranking official with a good salary. This is all due to his father's education when he was a child. A man should serve his country!
This is the mantra that his father has always kept on his lips, and it is also the old man’s biggest life principle throughout his life. Of course, it was only his father’s mantra that a man should serve his country, but when it came to the old man, it became, “Serve the country with loyalty and loyalty.”
The old man's father is Huang Qisheng, a gentle and inconspicuous name. Tanghu has produced many martyrs, and most of the people buried in the Tanghu Martyrs Cemetery are Tang Hu martyrs.
The Martyrs Cemetery in Tanghu is very large, with a total of 3,000 martyrs' tombstones, which are not large, but small long strips of bluestone, and 739 of the solitary tombstones do not even have names on them.
Huang Qisheng was not from Tanghu, but he had already made arrangements for his funeral arrangements before his death. I would bury him wherever I die. Where is the loess that does not bury people? Where is China’s tens of millions of territories not home?
Huang Qisheng's tombstone has the name, Huang Qisheng, three crooked ones. I don't know who carved it on it in which year, but no one in Tanghu knows that Huang Qisheng is the old man's father, let alone the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which is a special day in Chinese folk customs.
, the old man would come to visit the grave in person. After Huang Doudou was born, the old man started bringing her here when she was 3 years old. This was the beginning of their family’s military service and the beginning of their family’s glory.
Buried here is Huang Doudou’s great-grandfather.
She has no motivation at all to go to other places, just to deal with errands, but coming to Tanghu is different, it is different from previous years, because she likes the old man to stand in front of her great-grandfather's tomb every year and tell her a story about her great-grandfather's past.
We come here on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year and tell a story. Only this day is special among the 365 days in the year.
In ordinary days, the old man never mentioned his father, not even a word.
This year's story has been told, but Huang Doudou's mind is no longer on the story, because she has another thing to do this year that he thinks is fun, exciting and important.
She wanted to sneak over to Tang Lin's house to play. She had already found out Tang Lin's specific location. The satellite picture in her hand could even see the big red lantern hanging on the tall and straight ginkgo tree at the entrance of Tang Lin's house.
Clearly.
She made up her mind to find someone and a place. It was so easy.
The grandfather and grandson kowtowed together, then got up and left. The sun was shining brightly and it was a warm winter. Originally, the old man would not rush back to Zhongzhou immediately because his personal doctor would not allow him to travel thousands of kilometers back and forth.
When the old man goes out, he does not take planes or trains, only his Dongfeng Warrior, so they spend a quiet night at the Tanghu Military Division Guest House every year.
"Old man, you can go back to the guest house by yourself, I want to go shopping by myself!" Huang Doudou immediately revealed his little fox tail as the car got off the mountain.
The old man was closing his eyes to rest, "You're going to find Tang Lin, right?"
Huang Doudou knew that his little tricks could not be hidden from the old man who was even shrewder than the old fox, so he straightened his neck and said, "Yes, Tang Lin is my instructor. Since you are all here, why don't you go and pay New Year's greetings?"
The old man slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "But Doudou, Mr. Tang is bringing his new wife home. Is it appropriate for you to go?"
Huang Doudou's face changed slightly, but she still refused to admit defeat, "What kind of new daughter-in-law, Sister Huang? Sister Huang is just Tang Lin's leader, she is not a new daughter-in-law. She went to Tang Lin's house to express condolences to the leader."
The old man smiled even more happily, "Then you went as a student?"
Huang Doudou thought Lao Gao said, "Huh, of course not, I am Tang Lin's girlfriend, no, she is his fiancée. Huh, I have already declared my sovereignty in the city bureau, who dares to rob me? Not even Sister Huang.
!”
The old man stopped talking. He seemed to be very indulging in her nonsense, and he seemed to have other special motives. Except for the time when he and Tang Lin were riding bicycles, there were three cars passing by at other times, so in fact, he directly ordered one of them to drive.
The granddaughter was sent to a place 200 meters away from the door of Tang Lin's house.
The time is 3:30 in the afternoon, and the female mayor and the Tang family are happily shopping in Tanghu Shopping Mall.
I looked up at the towering ginkgo tree, and took out my phone to check the house number and the red lantern on the ginkgo tree. Yes, this is it.
The door is open, there are a lot of red Spring Festival couplets posted, and the ground is covered with firecracker red debris. Hehe, it’s quite fun to celebrate the New Year at Tang Lin’s house.
She sneaked around like a thief and looked around. When she saw no one was there, she rushed into the yard like a rabbit, then suddenly stopped and straightened her back, "Tang Lin, Sister Huang, are you at home? I'm here to see you.
!”
But no one answered after calling two or three times. Is there no one? She reached out curiously to pull the door. There was no lock on the door. There was no lock on the outside and no lock on the inside. So she opened it as soon as she pulled it. She took a deep breath and raised her legs.
Walking into the house, "Is there no one at home? Isn't Tang Lin here?"
She continued to explore inside, and just when she was wondering which room to choose to enter, several drunken moans suddenly came from the room on the right.
"Um...water...give me water..."
Tang Lin is Tang Lin, and he is Tang Lin who drank too much. Hehe, it seems that he is at home, but where are the others? Is Tang Lin the only one who is drunk and sleeping at home?
Otherwise, if I yelled like this, how could no one come out to greet me during the Chinese New Year?
Her heart suddenly became a little nervous, because she instinctively thought, could this be a good opportunity given to her by God? Let her be alone with Tang Lin?
Hehe, God, you are so good to me.
Thinking of this, she immediately ran over and opened the door quietly, looking for the source of the sound. Tang Lin, it turned out to be Tang Lin. As expected, Tang Lin was the only one in the newly renovated house!
Tang Lin smelled of alcohol, his face was pale, and his throat was dry and itchy. He lay on the bed like a dead pig and kept moaning, "Water...water...here, drink more...drink more..."
Huang Doudou had the courage to move forward, but was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of Tang Lin's alcohol. "Ugh, how much did you drink? Why didn't Sister Huang and Tang Guo take care of you? Why didn't you go out to play alone? Hum,
Not considerate at all, it’s me at the critical moment, okay? Huh, water...where is the water?"
She immediately looked around, poured a glass of water quickly, helped Tang Lin, who was sleeping, and drank it without ceremony. She thought Tang Lin would wake up, but instead of waking up, Tang Lin dragged her to the bed.
, and then pressed directly under him without any explanation...
