Reborn Sanitary

Driving all the way, I didn't arrive at County W until after [-] o'clock in the evening. When I arrived here, I was not far from the Fifth Brigade of Qianshui. From the moment I entered the county, Xu Tao couldn't sit still. Look left and look again, Xu Tao will feel With a smile on his face as if his eyes were not enough, Zhang Zhijun glanced at Xu Tao, and smiled, "I'm homesick."

Xu Tao nodded vigorously, "I think about it, this is the second time I have been a soldier for seven years. The last time I was in the old company, I don't know each other anymore."

Zhang Zhijun laughed at Xu Tao's words, "Your county is very famous, especially your brigade, which is a famous vegetable base in our province."

What Zhang Zhijun said made Xu Tao turn his head and stare at him in surprise, "Really? Is it really a vegetable base?"

Zhang Zhijun slapped Xu Tao with a smile, "Brother, can you lie to me? There are a lot of people from all over the world who come to you to study, and all the winter vegetables in the whole province are produced by you."

Xu Tao chuckled, the pride on his face couldn't be stopped, Xu Tao's pride made Zhang Zhijun also happy, seeing how his brother's hometown is so rich, how can he be unhappy when he is the eldest brother?For people like them, the relatives who are most concerned in the rear are doing well, so that they can be completely at ease.

At 08:30, the car stopped at the gate of Xu Yan's house. Looking at the brand-new two-story building, and then at the scattered small buildings and large tile-roofed houses around him, Xu Tao believed it. He believed what Zhang Zhijun said was true. When I came back, although many people also built new houses, there was absolutely no small second floor, but looking around now, there are quite a few small second floors, Xu Tao smiled.

Getting off the car and walking to the door, Xu Tao suddenly didn't dare to knock on the door. He was homesick and missed Xu Yan so much, but when he got to the door, he was afraid. He was afraid of Xu Yan's tears and Xu Yan's retention. Standing behind Xu Tao, Zhang Zhijun smiled. , When I didn't go home, I couldn't think about it, but when I walked to the door, I couldn't help my timidity. After crossing Xu Tao, Zhang Zhijun helped Xu Tao slam the door.

There was a sound of barking dogs, and after a while someone in the yard shouted, "Who is it, it's late at night."

The shouts from the courtyard made Xu Tao's eyes suddenly warm, "Brother-in-law, I, Xiaotao."

Xu Tao's slightly trembling shouts spread far away in this dark night. Not only Wang Guizhu in the yard was stunned, but also Xu Yan who was standing at the door of the house was also dumbfounded, but Xu Tao's choked-up shouts made the people behind him stunned. Zhang Zhijun felt agitated in his heart, and glanced at Xu Tao, who was obviously depressed. Zhang Zhijun left quietly, got in the car, opened the window, and started the car, "Taozi, I'm going to the city to see you in a few days. You go in."

Xu Tao hurriedly turned around, trying to stop Zhang Zhijun, he was brought back all the way, without even drinking his saliva, what happened, but Zhang Zhijun waved his hand, kicked the accelerator and left, Xu Tao looked at Zhang Zhijun's car buttocks, helplessly Shaking his head, wait a few days to find time to see Brother Zhang.

Before Xu Tao could figure it out, there was a crackling sound from the yard, "Yan'er, don't worry, I'll come, you turn on the light."

Xu Tao, who was standing by the door, listened to the voices coming from the yard, and secretly pictured the appearance of Xu Yan, Wang Guizhu, and Xiaorui in his memory. Wang Guizhu, Xu Tao smiled, with warm eyes, "Brother-in-law, I'm back."

Xu Tao's words stunned Xu Yan, who ran out in a hurry after turning on the lights, and stunned Wang Guizhu, who was watching Xu Tao from the gate, "Tao, you really, really came back?" Wang Guizhu couldn't believe it. The words made Xu Tao's nose sore, tears almost fell down, and he agreed.

This promise brought Wang Guizhu back to his senses in an instant. He grabbed Xu Tao's arm and held it tightly. Xu Tao felt a burst of force on his wrist, and he was dragged into the yard. It's Thao who's back."

The crackling sound was heard again, Xu Yan stumbled to the door, looked at Xu Tao who was standing under the light and was dressed in a green military uniform, froze for a moment, then rushed over to hug him, burst into tears, beat Xu Tao while crying "Why did you come back? Did you forget that you still have a sister? Why don't you go home?" The beatings followed by crying made Xu Tao's nose sore and his eyes moist, and he lifted the luggage in his hand. The child fell to the ground, and hugged Xu Yan carefully, "Sister, I'm back, Xiaotao is home."

Xu Yan's crying and Xu Tao's choked words made Wang Guizhu's eyes turn red. No one knew better than him what Yan'er thought about Xiaotao. I hid in the house and cried for a long time. I kept talking about Xiaotao, and I wiped Xiaotao’s photos over and over again. This photo, Yan'er is like a baby, no one is allowed to touch it, and it is framed and wiped, but I have been looking forward to it year after year, but I can't wait for Xiaotao to come home. , Xiaotao has been away for seven years. Although he came back halfway and often wrote letters, it still made Yan'er think about it. People who become daughters-in-law on the second day of the Lunar New Year go back to their natal homes, and only Yan'er from her own family goes. There is no place for her, no father or mother, and her brother is still far away. Wang Guizhu understands Yan'er's feeling of wanting to go home and miss her brother very well.

After wiping his face, Wang Guizhu stepped forward and pulled the crying Xu Yan away, carefully hugging him in his arms, "Yan'er, let's go in the house, let's talk about it when we come in, come back at this time, Xiaotao probably hasn't eaten, why don't you give me a meal?" The brothers have a whole mouthful of hot food."

Wang Guizhu's words made Xu Yan look up quickly, staring at Xu Tao with red eyes from crying, "Tao, you go into the house with your brother-in-law, and my sister will cook for you, don't leave, go into the house."

Xu Tao suppressed his sadness and nodded, "I won't go, sister, I'm hungry, just make me a bowl of pimple soup." Xu Yan agreed, turned around and ran to the kitchen, shouting as she ran, " Don't go, my sister will finish it right away." Xu Tao agreed, "I won't go."

Wang Guizhu grabbed Xu Tao's wrist with one hand, and carried the luggage that Xu Tao threw on the ground in the other, "Go, go to the house." Xu Tao followed Wang Guizhu to the house, and Wang Guizhu said as he walked, "Tao, your sister misses you so much. When I knew you couldn't come back, I couldn't sleep all night, I cried secretly several times, I knew you were a soldier, I knew you made contributions to the country, my family won't hold you back, if you have time, come back and watch Look at Yan'er, Yan'er, no one cares about you, but you."

Xu Tao felt that his throat was congested and he couldn't say a word, so he just nodded silently, agreed in a nasal voice, walked into the room, and was directly pulled into the room by Wang Guizhu, Xu Tao sat on the edge of the kang and looked at it. The house was clean and tidy, with all the appliances in the house. Xu Tao felt a little better in his heart. Although he knew that Xu Yan lived a good life, what others said was not as true as what he saw.

"Who are you and why did you come to my house?" A clear and milky voice rang out. Xu Tao looked up and saw a little boy lying on the door frame. Xu Tao stood up a little excitedly. Scared to go back, Wang Guizhu looked amusedly at his son, who usually looks like a king of the mountain, shrank back in fright, walked over, dragged the boy out from the door frame, and led him to Xu Tao, "Tao, Xiaorui, you came back last time He's only three years old, look, he's going to elementary school this year."

Xu Tao squatted in front of Wang Rui, looking at his nephew who was strong like a calf, he suddenly felt that time was really fast. When he left last time, this kid was like a small cannonball, slipping away, and now he is going to elementary school Then, he carefully reached out and touched Wang Rui's head, "Xiao Rui, I'm uncle."

Wang Rui tilted his head to look at Xu Tao, suddenly, his eyes lit up, he ran to the edge of the kang, ran to the kang, opened the cabinet and took out a box, opened the box and took out a photo frame, He looked at the photo in the frame, then looked at Xu Tao, compared it several times, and then frowned, "It's a bit similar, but it's not like it. Uncle is fat, but you are thin."

Xu Tao laughed. Wang Rui's words made Wang Guizhu carefully look at Xu Tao. It didn't matter. Only then did he find that Xu Tao was wearing different clothes. Looking at the epaulettes on his shoulders, he seemed to say, "Tao, have you changed your job?" Wang Guizhu asked with some uncertainty.

Xu Tao stood up and nodded with a smile, "I have transferred. I just transferred this year, and I will stay in the army completely in the future. But I am no longer a soldier, but an officer."

Xu Tao's words made Wang Guizhu look at Xu Tao in surprise, stretched out his hand to touch, laughed hahaha, and patted Xu Tao's shoulder, "Good boy, you are really capable. You are the first national cadre in our family."

Xu Tao smiled and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. When he turned around, he felt that he absolutely deserved it, but now he was a little embarrassed to be praised by his brother-in-law. He coughed, walked to the edge of the kang, sat next to Wang Rui, hugged Picking up the fat boy, "I'm uncle, Xiao Rui. Uncle brought you a gift." After Xu Tao finished speaking, he remembered what he had brought for the child. The assembled tanks and the toys that were taken out one after another made Wang Rui jump up, hugged Xu Tao and kissed him vigorously, "I now believe that you are my uncle."

As soon as she finished talking, she began to hesitate about the gift from Xu Tao. Xu Yan, who was standing by the door with a big bowl and watching Xu Tao and the child, suddenly felt that the family was complete. Reunited, wiped away tears, Xu Yan came into the room with a big bowl, Wang Guizhu dragged the Kang table over, took the big bowl from Xu Yan's hand, Xu Tao sat aside, took the spoon Xu Yan handed over, and pointed at Xu Yan Smiled, lowered her head and ate quickly, sitting opposite Xu Tao, Xu Yan looked at Xu Tao and thought she couldn't get enough of it, Xiao Tao lost weight, her small face was sallow and sallow, Xu Yan felt tears were about to come down again, this Xiao Tao I must have suffered a lot. Although I don’t know how much I have suffered, but as a rural child in the army these years, the hardest and most tiring work must be ours.

Wang Guizhu patted Xu Yan's back and said goodbye, "Yan'er, look at Xiaotao, Xiaotao has been transferred to a state cadre."

Xu Yan sniffled, looked at it for a long time but didn't understand where Wang Guizhu saw it from, and looked at Wang Guizhu suspiciously with red eyes, "How do you know?"

Wang Guizhu chuckled, "You forgot, when we were looking for someone to serve as a soldier for Xiaotao, they were just yellow cards with stars on them."

Xu Yan thought about it carefully, but there was no such passage in her memory. Xu Tao quickly finished a large bowl of pimple soup, put down the bowl, took out the military ID card in his pocket, and handed it to Xu Yan, "Sister, I'm going to be dry." Yes, it was transferred in early April."

Xu Yan took it with some excitement, carefully placed it on the table, picked up the apron tied around her waist, wiped her hands, opened the military officer's card, a photo of Xu Tao's head, it said, Xu Tao, male, 24 years old, 81587 Army second lieutenant officer.

Xu Yan tremblingly touched the words "Second Lieutenant Officer" carefully, and tears fell again, "Xiao Tao has achieved great success, Xiao Tao has received public rations, and Xiao Tao has become a state cadre." It made Xu Yan more and more sure that Xu Tao had endured hardships, and he must have suffered a great crime. Otherwise, how could Xu Tao, who is uneducated, turn into a national cadre and hold on to Xu Tao's military certificate. began to cry.

Xu Tao reluctantly moved the corners of his mouth, and held Xu Yan's trembling hands, "Sister, I'm a national cadre, don't worry about me, I can rest assured that you are outside, my brother-in-law said, you always cry secretly, in the future But it can’t be like this, if I break my eyes from crying, what else can I do.”

Xu Yan agreed, and quickly wiped away tears, "Sister, don't cry, sister will never cry again, my family Xiaotao is promising and is a national cadre, I will stop crying in the future."

Xu Tao smiled with reddish eyes, and Xu Yan also smiled with tears in her eyes. At this moment, in this quiet farmyard, the siblings who had been separated for many years reunited again. Under the light, the faces of the two Unusually similar, the same small oval face, Xu Yan's gentleness, Xu Tao's a little fortitude, the same narrow and long red phoenix eyes, Xu Yan's charming, Xu Tao's is a little peaceful, similar faces but have a big Xu Yan is more of the comfort left by a happy life, while Xu Tao's brows are the fortitude and courage left by going through life and death.

Time passed day by day, except for Xu Tao going back to his old house to see, he has been living here with Xu Yan. Meat, the little face that Xu Tao ate is getting fatter every day, Xu Yan can't close the mouth of Xu Taole who is obviously fat, and even more delicious food is everywhere, not to mention some in the countryside, and ask someone to give it to him Bring crucian carp, catfish.

As for Xu Tao, he carried Wang Rui around every day when he had nothing to do. Xu Tao became Wang Rui's capital to show off. When he got there, Wang Rui's small chest was tall and tall, and he pulled Xu Tao to introduce him to the team. Xu Tao felt funny at the same time. I am very happy, my mother and uncle, this old saying is really reflected in Xiao Rui, Wang Rui, who is like a bully, if he does something wrong, Xu Tao just needs to talk to him politely, and he will change it immediately. He didn't do very well at the time, but Xu Tao was still very happy. Although the child had a little temper, he was really a good child. So many people protected and spoiled him. Apart from his bad temper, there was really nothing bad about him.

Staying at home, Xu Tao, who was reluctant to leave home, didn't realize that the [-]-day vacation was over until he saw Meng Zhan standing by the gate. He blinked his eyes, and Xu Tao looked at Meng Zhan in a daze, "Captain, is it time?"

Ever since Meng Zhan saw Xu Tao leading Wang Rui over, Meng Zhan has been greedily looking at Xu Tao who is smiling all the time. He has become pale and fat. Although his complexion has improved a lot, but for some reason, no matter how Meng Zhan looks at Xu Tao, he always looks a little It was not until Xu Tao walked in front of him and asked stupidly that he nodded amusedly, "It's almost there, I know you are staying at home and don't want to go back, pack it up, and we will leave tomorrow morning."

Xu Tao was stupefied in an instant. Although he had deep reluctance to give up, he still agreed happily, brought Meng Zhan into the house, introduced Meng Zhan to Xu Yan, and chatted with Xu Yan and Wang Guizhu with a friendly face. He also presented the presents he had brought, and made Xu Yan feel too embarrassed. The leader of the younger brother came, and he even brought supplements. Xu Yan indirectly had a good impression of Xu Tao's army, and had an idea with Xu Tao, the army's treatment is really good.

At six o'clock the next morning, Xu Tao left the hometown that he had been thinking about for a long time with Xu Yan's face full of tears. He left the hometown where he was born and raised him again. I don’t know when I will come back next time, Xu Tao’s heart is a little astringent, I hope, I hope I will come back alive, and I will come back to see my sister and my hometown.

Meng Zhan glanced at Xu Tao who was silently looking out of the window, and patted the top of Xu Tao's head, "After becoming an officer, you will take family leave every two years. If you feel homesick in the future, please take family leave."

Xu Tao withdrew his gaze from the window, and looked suspiciously at Meng Zhan, "Captain, I really want to ask for leave, but I have to have time."

Xu Tao's words made Meng Zhan choke. Thinking of the actual situation now, he secretly sighed, "Besides, if you really miss home, I will give special approval."

Xu Tao chuckled and nodded vigorously, "Captain, you must remember that when the time comes, I miss home and give me leave to go home."

Meng Zhan squinted at Xu Tao, and nodded helplessly. Xu Tao, who was in a better mood, began to look around the car, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he looked, "Captain, why does this car look so familiar?"

Xu Tao's doubtful words made Meng Zhan feel helpless again, "Zhang Zhijun's car." Xu Tao smiled a little embarrassedly, but no, he didn't remember it after sitting all the way, and remembered that Zhang Zhijun didn't even drool. He drank and left, "Captain, will we still go to the provincial capital when we go back?"

Meng Zhan nodded, "Go, what's the matter?"

"Brother Zhang sent me back without even drinking my saliva. I want to treat him to a meal before I go back."

Meng Zhan suppressed the sudden sour water in his heart, "Okay, I just want to invite him to dinner, together, by the way, Xiaotao, your salary has been paid, I will finish it for you, remember to go to my dormitory when you go back Withdraw money."

Xu Tao looked at Meng Zhan with some surprise, "Salary? Isn't it an allowance?"

Meng Zhan nodded with a smile, "It's not a subsidy anymore. Officers are all paid wages. You are paid 1275.8 this month. We have a subsidy from the military region every six months, but they are all paid every six months. The salary is less and the subsidy is more."

Xu Tao chuckled. Although he was not short of money, this was the first time he received a formal salary after he became a dry man. "Captain, buy more food for the people in our team when I go back. This is the first time I have received a salary." To the officer's salary." Meng Zhan pointed to the food cart in the back seat, "You still buy it? I don't know how to take it back with so much food."

Xu Tao glanced at the various specialty foods that filled the back seat, feeling a little headache. Last night Xu Yan started preparing all kinds of food. This morning, because he was in a low mood, he didn't look at everything, but Wang Guizhu made a trip after another. I still saw things while moving, looked at the things in the back seat, thought for a while that the two of them should be able to take them if they got on the bus from the provincial capital, rubbed their foreheads, "I have to buy some anyway, or I'll go back and treat everyone to dinner."

Meng Zhan nodded indifferently, "Okay, it's up to you, you can do whatever you say." Meng Zhan's words of full agreement made Xu Tao look at Meng Zhan in a strange way, thinking why Meng Zhan became so talkative today As if, he scratched the back of his head and didn't want to understand, but Meng Zhan found Xu Tao's actions amused, and hummed the out-of-key tune as if he didn't see it.

If there is anything that Meng Zhan and Xu Tao want to understand during the period of separation, there is only one thing, he is determined to win Xu Tao. For so many years, he has only taken a fancy to Xu Tao, and now he is showing his style and letting Xu Tao go. You can't meet what you want, style can't be used in this, and it's not as important as finding a lover who suits you.

However, Meng Zhan also knew that Xu Tao was not enlightened, and he didn't plan to come up and get him. Meng Zhan didn't believe it. With Xu Tao's soft heart, could he slowly infiltrate and find a fool? There is a lot of time. If we are together all year round, it will definitely be good. As a result, Meng Zhan thought that after Xu Tao returned to the team, for the needs of the mission, he should let Xu Tao move to live in the first team. More contact with the team members can better increase the tacit understanding. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had the right idea. Ask Xu Tao to move to the next door to him. Anyway, the room next to him has also been cleaned up. The out-of-key tune is humming more cheerfully. At this moment, Xu Tao has only one thought, Take something to cover the captain's mouth, it's too ugly.

The author has something to say:

Saturday, December 2014, 3

At [-] o'clock in the morning, it was rare for Xu Tao to get up early to exercise. He rubbed his weak old waist. This year, I started to take a prostration. I thought I could have a good rest. Unexpectedly, the prostration became a happy day for that old guy Meng Zhan. For four consecutive weeks, he spent the morning of his prostration every week hiding in bed.

Hiding in the bed, Xu Tao thought about it, and officially transferred to the instructor. He will definitely not be so busy in the future. The two of them are getting older every year. For the sake of their own health, they must turn Meng Zhan's mind away, but weekends are fine. The two basically leaned against each other to read books and materials. Xu Tao thought about it and suddenly remembered his backyard. The two of them have been busy for the past few years, and the yard has been empty. It’s still okay to grow some side dishes, Xu Tao sat up suddenly, his old waist was sore, and he put on his clothes slowly, and he became more determined to farm the land with Meng Zhan, so that he had something to do and saved Meng Zhan I miss you all the time.

Xu Tao walked out of the bedroom after thinking about it, and saw Meng Zhan sitting motionless on the sofa, frowning and watching the expansion pack, and when Meng Zhan saw Xu Tao walking out of the bedroom, he quickly paused the data, stood up and walked quickly to Xu Tao's side, Putting his arms around Xu Tao's waist, he rubbed his hands automatically and consciously. Xu Tao slapped him, "I'm hungry."

Meng Zhan smiled, "I'll make millet porridge for you, wash your face first, it's just right to eat when you come out, it's been hot all the time."

Xu Tao glared at Meng Zhan and walked into the bathroom to wash, Meng Zhan smiled, and went straight into the kitchen to put out a bowl of porridge to cool aside, and put the steamed flower rolls that he got up in the morning on the plate. The breakfast was placed on the table. When Xu Tao came out and saw the prepared breakfast, his stern face suddenly relaxed. Over the years, since Meng Zhan fell ill, the meals at home were basically cooked by Meng Zhan. From the beginning of the stuffed raw stuff that couldn't be seen, to the later taste and taste, Meng Zhan took the cookbook and pondered a little bit, taking care of himself properly.

Xu Tao sat on the padded stool, holding a large bowl of millet porridge and blew it, and ate it sharply. Meng Zhan sat on the side to accompany Xu Tao, and gave Xu Tao vegetables and rolls.

After eating, Xu Tao watched Meng Zhan tidy up the table, took Meng Zhan's hand back to the living room, sat on the sofa and Xu Tao leaned on Meng Zhan's body, and stopped patting Meng Zhan's big hand that was automatically placed on his waist, "Meng Zhan, Our backyard is also idle. I have officially transferred to the instructor this year. We will both take prostrations in the future. Let’s plant the backyard, not to mention any good things, just some cabbages and shallots. You can say it No?"

Meng Zhan nodded, "Listen to you, if you want to plant it in our family, you will save yourself from thinking about going to the team to see it on weekends."

Xu Tao laughed, and bumped Meng Zhan's chest with his head, "We are planting some lively fruit trees such as autumn fruits in the front yard. In autumn, the yard will be full of vegetables and fruits. Comfortable."

Meng Zhan smiled and hugged Xu Tao vigorously, "Okay, we will plant whatever you say, and we will listen to you." Xu Tao smiled and nodded, talking about how to plant the front yard and the back yard at home, Meng Zhan looked down. When talking about the happy place, Xu Tao smiled all over his face, and his eyes flashed with deep nostalgia. These years have been with each other, and being able to live a comfortable and quiet life is not only Xu Tao's desire, but also his own desire.
