The end of the year is approaching, and the warm winter sun slantly shines on the courtyard.Su Lan moved a small table and placed it in front of the door to make some dumplings. With a rolling pin in her hand, she looked out of the courtyard from time to time while rolling the dough.

After a long time, she poked her head into the door and shouted: "Yufeng, didn't your brother say he would be back today, and he didn't know when he would arrive. Listen to the sound of the boat being ordered, and pick him up when the time comes."

Yufeng sat crookedly in her chair and watched "Journey to the West". When she saw something exciting, she replied impatiently: "I know, I'm listening."

Su Lan gave her a blank look, didn't say anything, and then continued to make dumplings while looking far out of the hospital, always afraid that his son would not be seen when he came back.Jiang Weidong has been away for two years, and he is looking forward to coming back to see him on this day.

The dumplings were all wrapped, and the sun was getting lower and lower, but there was still no whine of the ship coming from the pier. Su Lan was somewhat disappointed.So he became very worried, and said in the letter that he would return today, why it took so long to see no one...

Although the person hasn't returned yet, the dumplings still have to be served!

So she took a pot of dumplings and walked into the house, walked to the kitchen with a face full of disappointment, heated up the pot, boiled water, and started making dumplings.

Yufeng was still holding a book and reading it with relish, and didn't notice the rustling voices outside the courtyard at all.

Then the courtyard door was opened, and two figures walked in with bags.Jiang Pingan shouted happily: "Mom, brother is back!"

Su Lan didn't hear it in the kitchen, but Yufeng heard it.So he looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw the two brothers walking into the house talking and laughing.She hurriedly shouted to the kitchen: "Mom, your dear son is back~"

"Weidong is back?"

Su Lan hurriedly put down the spatula, rubbed her hands with her apron, and walked out with a smile on her face.

Jiang Weidong put the things he was carrying on the ground, stood up straight, looked at Su Lan affectionately, and said, "Mom, I'm back!"

Su Lan walked over excitedly, touched his face, and couldn't help but look at him carefully.Then he said distressedly: "Oh, Weidong, you've lost weight..."

Jiang Weidong said with a smile: "Training in the wind and rain every day, can you not lose weight..."

When Su Lan heard this, her face instantly turned livid: "Hey, why do you work so hard as soldiers now, aren't you paratroopers? Why do you have to be exposed to wind and rain?"

"Paratroopers have to train too." Jiang Weidong said amusedly, but seeing his mother's distressed eyes, he joked again: "Oh, well, I don't feel tired, I'm not thin, it's obviously fat For the muscles."

Su Lan didn't mind listening to these words, she still had an expression of distressing her son, but Jiang Ping'an and Jiang Yufeng who were beside her laughed.

Jiang Weidong glanced at them intentionally: "What are you two laughing at?"

Yufeng said: "Brother, I didn't expect you to say such funny things now after we haven't seen each other for two years."

"Tch, don't come here!"

Then he turned his gaze to Su Lan: "Mom, I'm going to starve to death, is there anything to eat?"

These words woke up Su Lan a bit. She remembered that there were still dumplings in the pot, so she ran to the kitchen in a hurry.While running, he said: "Eat dumplings at night, I specially made dumplings..."

The two of them laughed together again.

Jiang Weidong rolled his eyes and said, "What's so funny? Someone tapped the laugh point?"

"We're happy, laughing happily..." Yufeng covered her mouth with her hand and held back.

Jiang Weidong pointed to the two of them, and said in an orderly tone: "Both of you, move things into the room for me."

"Oh~"

Although the two of them were somewhat reluctant, the elder brother who hadn't seen him for a long time gave orders, so how could they not follow through.So he obediently went over to pick up the big and small bags on the ground, and prepared to send them to his room.

Jiang Weidong looked around, the house was still the same, nothing had changed.Suddenly he asked again: "Where's my dad? And Xiao An?"

"Xiao An and Dad went to the team to get fish." Ping An said with his head raised.

"Oh!"

Just as he was talking, the courtyard door was suddenly opened, and Jiang Jianmin and Shen Ju'an entered the door one after the other, both of them were holding a bamboo basket in their hands, looking very happy.

When Jiang Jianmin saw Jiang Weidong, his expression was both surprised and happy: "Ah, Weidong is back." He hurriedly put down the bamboo basket.

Jiang Weidong called Dad, then excitedly stretched out his arms and went forward to hug him.At this moment, Shen Ju'an stood in front of the door with a dazed expression.In fact, I knew that he was coming back today, but I don't know why, but after meeting him, I got this surprised expression.

"Oh, Wei Dong, you seem to have grown taller again!" Jiang Jianmin patted Wei Dong on the shoulder and said.

Jiang Weidong rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, which was different from before he became a soldier. How could he be embarrassed back then.Then he looked at Shen Ju'an and said, "Xiao'an, you are almost as tall as me, come on, give me a hug!" After saying that, she took two steps forward, and before Shen Ju'an could recover, she hugged her in the name of long time no see.

Shen Ju'an panicked suddenly, his heart was beating non-stop for some reason.He put his face on Jiang Weidong's shoulder, not daring to breathe, so he subconsciously pushed him lightly.

"what happened?"

Jiang Weidong was a little surprised by his reluctance.

Shen Juan hurriedly explained: "I... I smell fishy all over my body, you better not come close!"

"Oh, what are you afraid of, I still look like a tourist." Jiang Weidong sneered.

"I won't chat with you anymore, I have to carry the fish to Aunt Su!" Shen Ju'an said and hurried out of his sight with the bamboo basket.

Jiang Weidong was wondering why it felt like he hadn't seen him for two years, he was so weird that he wasn't even close to him anymore.

At this time, Jiang Jianmin washed his hands, walked to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Go, play chess with Dad, and see how much you have grown."

Jiang Weidong immediately grinned again and said, "Okay." So he followed Jiang Jianmin into the house, and said, "Dad, let me tell you, I'm in our army now, and I'm invincible. Pass me. You are not allowed to play tricks if you lose in a while!"

Jiang Jianmin pulled out his chair and sat down, put the chessboard around, and said with a smile: "Then I'll see how much progress you have made."

"Just wait and see!"

The sun is shining warmly on the earth, and the waves are still churning regularly.The smell of vegetables is wafting in the kitchen, and the old hen and chicks are looking for food under the eaves.The last few dead leaves on the tree are also falling with the wind, looking forward to the spring breeze in the coming year.It seems that surrounded by a warm atmosphere, this winter doesn't feel too cold.

At this time, Jiang Weidong's excited voice came from the room: "Dad, you lost two games."

Jiang Jianmin glanced at him: "You don't want to be complacent, that's what I let you do."

whispering sound!

Jiang Weidong said: "Dad, willing to bet and admit defeat is a good quality of our army, you can't do this~"

Jiang Jianmin snorted coldly, like a wronged child.Then he said: "Well, isn't Xiao An very good at chess, I'll let him treat you."

After the sound, he shouted: "Xiao An!"

Shen Juan heard the call and hurriedly ran over from the kitchen, wondering: "What's wrong?"

"Well, come here and sit down." Jiang Jianmin got up to make room for him, pointed to the chessboard and said, "Keep him down for me!"

Jiang Weidong said with a smirk, "Xiao An, just vent your anger on my dad's behalf, otherwise he won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Oh!"

Shen Juan wiped his hands and walked over unhurriedly, sat down beside him, and then stretched out his hand to place the chess pieces.With a deep look, Jiang Jianmin, who was on the side, praised him: "You see, the gods are usually calm and calm. This is the momentum that will win!"

"You haven't started playing yet, so you're happy here. What if Xiaoan's skills fail to improve."

While his father and father were still chatting with each other, Shen Juan had already set up the chessboard, held his hand and said, "You go first!" Those arrogance and domineering eyes are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"I'll go first." Jiang Weidong said as he raised his hand to move the chess pieces, making a move first.

Shen Juan immediately jumped off the horse.

Another shot, another vault.The two of you hit me with a gun, and you made an elephant, and I walked a few feet alone, and the situation became clear in an instant.

Jiang Weidong smiled and said, "Xiao An, I'm not talking about you, your skills are really not as good as before."

Shen Ju'an didn't care to listen to his nonsense, and only focused on the board. Although the situation was clear, if he didn't reach the general level, he would never be considered a loser!

So, in the end, he won the victory with an absolute advantage!

Jiang Weidong's face froze: "I didn't expect that you not only wanted to capture the king, but also set up a trap to trap all my generals. This is annihilation of the whole army... You are cruel!"

Shen Ju'an raised his head and smiled: "Thank you!"

"Weidong, are you convinced this time? I told you that I let you go just now." Seeing that Shen Ju'an helped him vent his anger, Jiang Jianmin suddenly became embarrassed again.

A voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Don't get off, come over to eat, do you want to eat dumplings?"

"Yes, how can I not." Jiang Weidong got up, pulled his legs and left the battlefield, fleeing as soon as he said.

In the evening, the temperature turned a little cooler, and there was a mist outside.

Jiang Weidong didn't know if he was used to the cold in the army or something, but he was wearing a pair of shorts and a vest, sitting on the bedside and sneaking out a cigarette, picked up the match on the table and lit it, and was about to light the cigarette.The door was pushed open suddenly.

Shen Juan's hair grew back to the way it was before, and he felt that the round inch looked like it was shaved by a labor camp.So he took a shower and walked into the room rubbing his hair.

Jiang Weidong panicked, quickly threw the matchstick and kept the cigarette in his hand.

Seeing that it was Shen Ju'an, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you, I thought it was my parents." After finishing speaking, he continued to hold the cigarette in his mouth.

Shen Ju'an turned around and closed the door as if nothing had happened, then went straight to open the window to let the smell of smoke dissipate, otherwise, even if he didn't catch him properly, he would be discovered.He sat down on the head of the bed, looked at the flickering cigarette tail at the corner of Jiang Weidong's mouth, and said, "You have learned to smoke now."

Jiang Weidong chuckled: "It was originally smoked by my roommate, so it's not addictive." After a pause, he said: "By the way, I can't let my mother know about this, otherwise I won't have any good fruit to eat." .”

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Shen Ju'an caught a glimpse of his thin clothes, his body was almost exposed outside, and asked again: "Aren't you cold when you sit dressed like this?"

After hearing this, Jiang Weidong looked down at himself, and hissed, "It wasn't cold at first, but now that you say that, it's really cold." Then he put out the cigarette butt and threw it out of the window, closing the window as well.Then he turned around and wrapped the quilt around himself like a cicada chrysalis.

He turned his gaze to the backpack on the closet, and said to Shen Ju'an, "Bring that bag over here for me."

"That one?" Shun pointed.

"Correct!"

Shen Juan got up and walked over, and removed the backpack.There is not much stuff inside, but it is very light.

Jiang Weidong said again: "Open it and have a look, it's for you."

"Give it to me?"

Although he looked very surprised, his heart throbbed suddenly.

He carried the backpack to the bed, unzipped it, and reached in to look through it.It contained what appeared to be some glazed wooden statues, and a few books.He took out the wooden statues one by one and placed them on the table. They were very bright because they were colored.Although Shen Juan didn't play woodcarving anymore, since it was given by Jiang Weidong, no matter what it was, it made people very happy.

After a while, Jiang Weidong pointed to those books and said, "Do you want to read those books too?"

"it is good!"

Shen Juan took out the book with a smile, and just opened two pages, his expression suddenly changed.I saw some unsightly characters drawn on the book...

He raised his face in embarrassment and said, "This is...?"

Jiang Weidong grinned badly and said, "You don't know? Don't pretend, I'm from here, and I don't understand what you're thinking. I just searched for these from my roommate and gave them to you. Yes, you see I treat you well."
