The two men raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank.
"Here comes the food." Grandma came out carrying the food.
The bright moonlight fell in through the window, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of cold silver frost, but the house immediately became lively because of He Zhenzhong's return.
The smiles on the faces of the old man and grandma have never disappeared, and their appetite seems to have returned, which is completely different from just now.
He Zhenzhong knew that his grandparents must have been looking forward to this Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time. For no other reason than to take a look at him and Chen Guang, see if they have lost weight or gain weight recently, and ask how they are doing in the army.
Are there any injuries?
He knows that no matter how powerful he is outside, no matter how powerful he is in the world, no matter whether he is powerful or not, when he comes home, in front of his grandparents, he will always be a child, a person who makes them worry and worry.
's children.
"What are you thinking about?" Grandma put some vegetables into He Zhenzhong's bowl, "Eat more, life in the army is hard. When you come back, tell grandma what you want to eat and she will cook it for you."
He Zhenzhong's hand shook slightly, he raised his head and looked at his grandma, whose face was wrinkled, her hair was gray, but her eyes were full of joy. His lips moved but he didn't say anything. Could he tell grandma that he came back to say goodbye?
I have to rush to the naval base tomorrow. Is it possible that I won’t be able to come back during the Chinese New Year?
"Boy, what's wrong?"
"No, grandma." He Zhenzhong lowered his head and ate with big mouthfuls.
"Slow down, slow down, there's more."
"Um."
The three of them sat around the dining table, eating and drinking slowly, and finally the family regained some liveliness during the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it looked like a home.
After dinner, it became lively outside, with red lanterns hung high one by one, and the army put on some programs for these retired veteran cadres.
After washing the dishes, He Zhenzhong supported his grandfather and took his grandmother out to the small square in the courtyard.
"Lao He, your grandson is back?"
The old man smiled with a smile on his face and nodded, "My grandson came back on a special trip. Why, your grandson didn't come back. Are you jealous?"
"Yeah." An old man was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed, with a sad look on his face. "I called and said that he was transferred to Indonesia and will not come back until next year."
"You're on the front line, that's a good thing."
"It's so good. He's just a brat, and he's only become a captain now. Compared with this brat of yours, he's way behind him."
"Hahaha." The old man laughed, "This is incomparable. This boy of mine is the youngest general in the entire army. Who can compare with him?"
"How lucky you are to have such a grandson."
"That's right." The old man's face was filled with pride and he was not humble at all.
"I didn't think too much about my boy, as long as he comes back alive and well." The old man sighed, with a worried look in his eyes.
He Zhenzhong smiled and said nothing.
Parents and relatives all over the world are like this. Like the old man, they hope that their children and grandchildren can stand out, win glory for them, and let them raise their heads in front of others. In fact, in their hearts, they are more like the old man. They don’t ask you to become a successful person. More
What I want is that my children and grandchildren are safe.
Along the way, the old man kept saying hello to people he knew. His face, which had always been serious before, was always smiling. When his grandson came back, he was so promising. He was the youngest general in the army and led his troops to defeat Indonesia. Why did he?
Can't you be proud of this?
Grandma, on the other hand, gathered around with a group of old women she knew, pointing her middle finger at He Zhen from time to time.
"Look, that's my boy. He's very handsome, right? And he's a general now. You guys always said that our Zhenzhong was naughty and didn't let your granddaughter play with our Zhenzhong. Now you regret it.
Come on." Grandma also had a smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law, is it too late to regret? My granddaughter has just returned from studying in the UK. How about letting them meet her?"
Grandma waved her hand, "It's too late, my Zhenzhong and Xiaoxiao grew up together."
"Then Chen Guang hasn't found a wife yet, has he?"
"That's true." Grandma nodded, "How about we make an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow?"
"Then it's settled, sister-in-law, don't go back on your word."
"well."
Hearing the words behind him, He Zhenzhong smiled. Maybe some people would be a little tired of their family members urging them to find a wife. However, the old man's heart just wanted to have his grandson and great-grandson as soon as possible and have someone by his side, so they didn't care.
Even if I am tired, I am willing to take care of my grandson.
Just like that, He Zhenzhong walked around the small square with his grandfather and grandma, listening to the old people talking and laughing among themselves, but most of the time, they were talking about how the children of each family were doing.
So done.
It wasn't until the wind picked up that He Zhenzhong helped the old man and grandma back home.
"Zhenzhong, go and rest."
"Grandpa, grandma, you too."
"Well, go ahead, go ahead."
Seeing the two elders helping each other into the room, He Zhenzhong took a deep breath and his eyes were a little sad. The reunion was only short-lived. He would still have to leave tomorrow morning, and this departure would last more than half a year or a year.
Time, grandpa and grandma are afraid that they will have to spend the Chinese New Year alone, and Chen Guang will definitely not have a holiday. The special forces are always at the first level of combat readiness.
He stood there until he saw the light coming from the crack in the door extinguished, then he turned around and walked upstairs.
Lying on the bed, he kept looking at the ceiling and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
In the end, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
At five o'clock the next morning, He Zhenzhong opened his eyes on time, got up, washed, put on his military uniform, and then opened the door. He wanted to make a hearty breakfast for his grandparents and then left.
He walked quietly to the door, opened it gently, and He Zhenzhong stepped out.
However, as soon as he walked out of the room, he stopped and stood there, stunned. Suddenly his eyes felt a little sore, as if there was a warm stream of water that he couldn't control, and the sparkling tears shone...
