solo not solo

Qunjiang City is not too far from the provincial capital, only four hours away by car.When Liu Zhendong came here, he drove here, so when he got out of the gate of Dingxi Group, he drove his car directly to the military compound in the south of the city.

The guard at the door obviously knew him, and after confirming his identity with two glances, he saluted and let him go.

After driving the car to the door with the largest area, Liu Zhendong was in a daze for a while before raising his hand to ring the doorbell.The last time he came back was nine months ago. He originally thought that it was impossible to come back within this year, but he didn't expect that he came back anyway.

The person who opened the door was an aunt around 60 years old. Liu Zhendong was obviously taken aback when he saw the person coming, and then dragged the person in belatedly, and hurriedly shouted upstairs: "Mrs. Ma'am, look who's back!"

"Who is it?" A clear voice came from upstairs, and after a while, a beautiful woman in her fifties with elegant temperament appeared at the door.

"Auntie, are you okay?" Liu Zhendong smiled and hugged the woman lightly, and then followed her into the room.

"You boy, I didn't believe Chief of Staff Huang said that you might come back a few days ago. I didn't expect you to come back. Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, I'll ask Mother Xu to make some."

"Don't worry about it, Auntie, I've eaten. I'm here this time because I want to tell you something." Liu Zhendong pondered for a while, but he still felt that it was better to get straight to the point.Coming out is like having love for the first time on a wedding night, no matter how much foreplay you do, it always hurts.Well, the analogy is a bit weak, but it is true.

"Could it be that you have a date?" Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, it's really a great thing."

"Yes, I have someone I like."

"Really? I'll call your uncle right now! He must be very happy."

Liu Zhendong hurriedly grabbed the person who got up, "Auntie, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet. The person I like...he is a man."

"..." Mrs. Liu was stunned, and picked her ears childishly, "Zhendong, it seems that Auntie didn't understand what you just said."

Mrs. Liu was born in a powerful family, and she is the only daughter in the family. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the apple of the eye.With such a background, she has never experienced any hardship since she was a child, and she hardly knows what pressure is.After marrying Liu Zhendong's uncle, he was even more doted on, making people in their fifties most of the time still have the same temperament as children, and sometimes the younger generation feel inferior when they go crazy.

Facing such a person, Liu Zhendong really felt a little powerless, but he still said solemnly: "Auntie, I said that the person I like is a man."

Mrs. Liu showed an incredulous expression on her face, and was silent for a while, "You...you don't think it's because you've been in a crowd of men all year round and haven't seen a few girls' homes..." After a pause, her voice immediately raised A scale, "No! I have to tell your uncle to find you a place with female soldiers!"

"Auntie, I'm serious. You see you introduced so many people to me, when did I take it to heart?"

"..." Madam Liu was speechless, but seeing Liu Zhendong's non-joking face made her feel really uncomfortable.

Liu Zhendong understands that it is difficult for his family to immediately accept the fact that he is gay, so he doesn't ask for anything, and giving each other some time is the right way at this time.

Mrs. Liu sat quietly on the sofa, with countless thoughts running through her mind, and when Liu Zhendong cleaned up with her and asked her to go upstairs, she didn't respond at all.

After returning to his room on the second floor, Liu Zhendong habitually picked up the photos on the bedside table and looked at them.The photos are very old, and they are pasted on a simple photo frame carved from pine wood.The surface of the photo has been worn and faded, but it is not difficult to see how much the owner cherishes it.It was a young man in military uniform.With a resolute face and a domineering manner, one can find that he looks very similar to Liu Zhendong at a glance.

This man is Liu Zhendong's father, Liu Hejiang, an excellent scout who was famous in the entire S military region more than 20 years ago.Sadly, he died unexpectedly at the young age of 30.

Seriously speaking, the two brothers of the Liu family were farmers, and they didn't have a deep background after being recruited into the military camp. Although the two brothers have extremely high personal qualities, they are only a handful of squad leaders in the entire army. , not surprisingly.

Things changed after Liu Zhendong's uncle, Liu Hequn, met Mrs. Liu, Shen Yao, who accompanied his grandfather to see a doctor in the hospital.

At that time, Liu Hequn didn't know who Shen Yao was at all, he just happened to bump into Shen Yao and went to the emergency room behind his back when he was hit by a naughty child with a stone and injured his ankle.Or say that Liu Hequn is a lucky boy, climbing up the snow lotus on the iceberg is a good thing for a lifetime of wealth.

It's also a coincidence that there are a lot of rich and powerful "Lotus Cailian" behind this snow lotus, and they just like the poor boy Liu Hequn.During those days in the hospital, he clung to Liu Hequn like a stick of cake, which made the pretty big guy blush.

Originally, the Shen family did not agree to this marriage, but they couldn't hold back Shen Yao's three-year war of resistance and would die or mess around.In the end, Commander Shen saw that this was too inappropriate, so hurry up and marry him!

So Liu Hequn and Shen Yao got married.

But just when everyone thought that Liu Hequn would rise steadily from now on, something strange happened.The Shen family never provided any help to Liu Hequn.At that time, no one in the 541 Regiment's reconnaissance company knew that Squad Leader Liu's family was living in a difficult situation. They were so poor that they could hardly even eat. Almost most people thought that Mrs. Liu would leave Squad Leader Liu.At that time, probably only Liu Hequn and Shen Yao were happy.Only they know how difficult it is for them to be together, so the hardships are nothing compared to their separation.

After a year and a half of being content with the status quo, the second child of the Liu family also got married, and within a month came the good news that the second child of the Liu family was pregnant.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious, because Shen Yao has not been pregnant for a year and a half after marriage.This was a very rare thing in that time when there was less pollution and less radiation.Shen Yao was so anxious that she wanted to go to the hospital, but Liu Hequn insisted that it was not time yet, and often comforted his wife.His wife is delicate, and he asked the doctor in the military region about this matter, and it turned out that Shen Yao's physique was cold, and she didn't have much flesh on her body, so it was normal for her to conceive slowly.So although he was a little anxious, he didn't put too much pressure on his lover.

Less than a year later, Liu Zhendong of Liu Er's family was born. He was born with a weight of eight catties and nine pounds.The boy's cry was loud and loud, and when he was hungry at night, his two voices could wake up the neighbors on the left and right.

Shen Yao became more and more envious, but the child just didn't come.Originally, she was a little sad that her marriage to Liu Hequn didn't bring Liu Hequn any benefits. In addition, after such a long time, she couldn't even give Liu Hequn a child, and she felt so guilty that her heart hurt like a needle.Every time she heard the laughter of Liu Zhendong who lived in the west room, she felt so uncomfortable in the east room that she couldn't help herself.Liu Hequn even lied to her that it was his fault knowing that it was her fault.Facing such a husband, Shen Yao really didn't know what else to do besides doing her best to treat him well.

Fortunately, God was merciful, and Xiao Liu Zhendong was finally pregnant when she was about to enter elementary school.This made her and Liu Hequn so happy that they were so careful every day, for fear that something might happen to this hard-won child.Although Liu Hequn couldn't be by his side all the time, Shen Yao still had a very happy time during that time.This kind of happiness lasted until the seventh month of pregnancy, when an accident took it away in an instant.

At that time, the weather was hot in summer, and it rained heavily in many places, causing serious disasters.Liu Hequn, who had just been promoted to platoon leader, was ordered by his superiors to lead a team to fight the flood and rescue. Only Shen Yao, Liu Zhendong and Liu Zhendong's mother were left at home.

In the 80s, there were no anti-theft doors in the countryside. Even if the family had money, it was just a matter of getting a lock, and the door clip with the lock could almost be broken with one kick.But at that time, the people's hearts were simple, and there would be no problems under normal circumstances. At that time, the two women with a child thought so too.But no one expected that on such a night that was the same as in the past, five thieves with guns would suddenly break into the house.

The five thieves thought of stealing because they heard people say that the daughter-in-law married in this family came from a rich family and must have something valuable as a dowry, and there was no man in the family at the moment.Originally, it was fine to steal something and leave, but the leader had a lust for Shen Yao, and wanted someone after taking the things.For this reason, the two women had to fight desperately. If it was just a thing, they would rather admit that it was bad luck, but the reputation of a woman in those days was very important. If the bad guys really succeeded, they would not have to live. If this is the case, they might as well let go and refute , at least die a noble death.

Liu Hejiang came home on a whim to bring two pieces of wood lumps and a wooden gun to Liu Zhendong, by the way to see if his home was safe.His son is good at everything, but he is impatient, so he forces him to carve wood to cultivate patience when he is free.It was just a simple idea, but he never thought that such a big incident would happen at home.When he came back, his wife was stabbed to death, and his sister-in-law, who was holding his wife tightly, was also dragged by the man.

Liu Hejiang's anger can be imagined, his eyes were about to burst, he immediately kicked the gangster who was pulling people away.However, the opponent had many people and held a knife. Even though he was agile, he was hard to beat with two fists. After successfully snatching the dagger and killing the three opponents, he himself was seriously injured.When the neighbor's aunt heard the call for help and secretly went to find someone to help, only Shen Yao and Liu Zhendong were left in the room who were about to faint from crying.The other two were so scared that they ran away.

As a result, Liu Zhendong's mother died on the spot that night, and his father died on the way to the hospital.

It's a good child who lost his father and mother overnight. If he didn't have an uncle and aunt, he would really be an orphan.

The occurrence of such a big event in the village must have alarmed many people, but Shen Yao's father and grandfather were the most outraged among them.But regarding this, Shen Yao only laughed mockingly a few times, and didn't even say a word.She didn't want to hate at first, but looking at her nephew who was sitting on the side holding a wooden gun and saying nothing, how could she not hate her family's ruthlessness?She begged them to help transfer her lover and brother to a better unit and let them live in the family area, but they didn't help!If she and her younger siblings hadn't been afraid of waking up the sleeping child and hadn't called for help, Liu Zhendong might not have escaped.

Thinking of this, Madam Liu's eyes turned red again.Although more than 20 years have passed, the events of that night still seem to be looming in front of my eyes, so clear.Her younger siblings protected her, and her brothers also protected her.Only she and the child in her womb survived, but Liu Zhendong, who was only six years old at the time, lost his parents.

Now the kid says he likes men.

Mrs. Liu sighed a long time, feeling a little embarrassed.If she was looking forward to Liu Zhendong's happiness, she seemed to support her, but after thinking that this would break her brother's family...she felt a headache again.

They struggled until dinner, and everyone in the Liu family returned home.

Mrs. Liu gave birth to twins that year, both boys.Originally, Grandpa Shen wanted to let one of them be surnamed Shen, but Shen Yao stared back.It's not that the Shen family has no males, why should they rob her of their children?

Mr. Shen is depressed. There are men, but they don't give birth!

Mrs. Liu didn't care about it at all, and finally decided to call the older of the two boys Liu Zhenxi and the younger Liu Zhennan.Three years later, she had another daughter named Liu Zhenbei.The words that the three children have heard most from their parents since they were young are - you must respect your brother well when you grow up!

Yes, not honoring parents, but honoring elder brother!After such three children grow up, one can imagine how Liu Zhendong will be treated!

It is rare for the Liu family to get together now, and the parent, Commander Liu, has a lot of emotion.Unfortunately, before he could express his inner feelings, Mrs. Liu bit her chopsticks and said, "He Qun, Zhendong said he likes men." Those big blinking eyes were so bright that Commander Liu almost thought he was Back to the time of first love!

Commander Liu was startled, his face stiffened for a moment, then he shook his head and said with a smile: "Yaoyao, you really like to joke."

Liu Zhendong didn't expect his aunt to be so direct, so he interjected: "Uncle, what aunt said..." is true.Before the last three words could be spoken, the phone rang.When Liu Zhendong saw that it was Zhang Fengyue's call, he picked it up directly, because the kid didn't dare to call him because he was fine.Besides, Shan Fei is still working there, so it is inevitable to pay more attention.

"Liu Zhendong, where are you? Something happened to fly solo!!!" He was so anxious that he didn't even pause, it seemed that he was really popular.The roaring sound can be heard by almost everyone at the table.

"What's going on?" Liu Zhendong put down his chopsticks, and the rest of the people followed suit.

After that, Liu Zhendong got up and said to the person on the main seat: "Uncle, I have something urgent to leave first, and I will talk to you later." Then the few striding people disappeared.She was actually wearing home clothes and only took the car keys and ran out without even changing her clothes...

How urgent are you? !

Commander Liu frowned and looked at his wife, "Yaoyao, is what you said just now true?"

Madam Liu nodded.

Commander Liu looked at the three children again.

Liu Zhenxi said calmly, "That man is pretty."

Liu Zhennan bit his chopsticks: "I heard that he has a good temper."

Liu Zhenbei clasped his hands together, and said devoutly: "My ancestors are mighty, I finally have a male sister-in-law, and tomorrow I will go to the main road to burn paper money for you! Don't let them separate!"

Commander Liu: "..."
