Teachers downstairs.

Xu Xiuqin looked up at the lights that were already on upstairs.

The white-haired old man next to him said, "Xiuqin, it's not that I'm talking too much. You did this today... I think it would hurt Li Zheng's heart too much?"

Xu Xiuqin didn't answer for a long time, just watched quietly there.

After a while, he turned his head and his eyes were a little red.

"He has grown up, and a man is determined to be in all directions and should not be tied to me..."

He said again: "Old Chen, I'm going to trouble you today."

The white-haired old man named Chen Gang, who is a retired cadre in the county. He has been a classmate from Xu Xiuqin since junior high school.

However, later Xu Xiuqin was admitted to the normal secondary school, and Chen Gang went to join the army. Later, after the Battle of Southern Xinjiang, Chen Gang was injured and transferred to the county and has been living and working until now.

"I don't care. I haven't seen anything before. I've seen life and death for a long time. I can help you with this. Besides, I was a political instructor back then. I can do ideological work and I'm the best..."

He said with confidence, and then changed the subject and said, "But I have to give you a chance first. If you really drive him away, he might not be able to drive him away. Now that he has been discharged from the army, there is a deadline for going back. It will be difficult to deal with if he really doesn't like being a soldier and you force him to leave, the result is that he will go to Donghai and never come back..."

Xu Xiuqin asked back: "A man who doesn't like being a soldier has received first-class merit twice?"

Speaking of this, Chen Gang also looked puzzled.

How hard to get first-class achievements in this peaceful era...

Xu Xiuqin said that Li Zheng, the young man, went abroad to participate in the competition and won the first place and then evaluated the first-class merit once. Another time, he participated in a task such as the development and shaping experiment of new weapons and obtained the first-class merit...

Is it so easy to get the first-class merit now?

In fact, I was willing to go home with Xu Xiuqin tonight. First, it was because my old classmate had some entrusted me, and second, Chen Gang also had selfish intentions. After all, he knew heroes and valued heroes. He also wanted to meet this soldier who had won first-class merit twice and several times in his twenties.

The key is just a privateer.

"Go up, go up!" Chen Gang pointed to the upstairs: "Don't let the child wait too long. No one has retired from the army like him. When they return home, they have prepared a meal early. Or they can book a room in the county hotel and have a good meal. You can do it. The child comes back and cooks and waits for you to come back... Oh, why should I bear it..."

"You know the truth about being kind and not being in charge of soldiers." Xu Xiuqin said: "Sometimes, some things must be hard-hearted when educating children and treating them."

A trace of admiration flashed in Chen Gang's eyes, and Xu Xiuqin's grandeur and decisiveness impressed him.

"Let's go, you're right."

He smiled and pulled Xu Xiuqin upstairs.

Li Zheng sat on the sofa watching TV. The dishes were ready. The hot ones were in the pot. Some cold dishes were on the stage, and the soup was warm in the clay pot, waiting for grandma to come home.

He looked at the old wall clock on the wall.

Time has reached 5:55...

Five minutes left...

He decided that he would not see his grandmother at 6:10, so he stopped eating and went out to find someone. If he couldn't do it, he would report the case.

Unexpectedly...

I am a special forces soldier. When my grandmother is gone when she returns home, she has to go to the police...

When the time came to 5:58, the sound of a key hitting suddenly sounded at the door, followed by the sound of inserting into the keyhole and unscrewing the lock.

"grandmother!"

Li Zheng stood up excitedly and greeted the door, just like the situation when he went home to do his homework by himself when his grandmother came home from get out of class.

The door opens, grandma Xu Xiuqin, but there are more people behind it...

Li Zheng was not mentally prepared at once and was silly on the spot.

A retired female teacher, with a man of the same age, and at first glance she looks like a retired cadre.

This is……

Seeing Li Zheng like a dumb goose, grandma reached up and pinched Li Zheng's face, grabbed him and hugged him.

"My good grandson... haven't seen him for more than two years..."

Li Zheng also hugged his grandmother.

When my grandmother hugged her, she still had the same impression. Now Li was about to lower her head before she could see her head.

The snow-white hair roots are full of traces of time, and every hair is full of the hardships of grandma raising herself step by step.

Li Zheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. Something softened his will like steel, and even made him feel like he wanted to cry.

But at this moment, I looked up and saw the old man with glasses opposite me.

All the tenderness was poured on the cold water, and Li Zheng could only embarrassingly hold his grandmother and nod to the old man he didn't know.

After hugging for a while, grandma let go of her hand.

"Good grandson, grandma is very busy today, so she forgot about your return home all of a sudden..."

Xu Xiuqin put the canvas bag in her hand on the sofa, and then said to Li Zheng: "Let me introduce it. This is Chen Gang. He used to be my junior high school classmate. He has also served as a soldier. What is it for... what is it for politics?"

She turned around and looked at Chen Gang.

Chen Gang said: "I am a political instructor."

Li Zheng stretched out his hand: "Hello, veteran."

Xu Xiuqin said: "Don't you call Grandpa Chen?"

Li Zheng said: "That is the name of ordinary people. Our army has the name of troops, so we have to be called veterans."

Xu Xiuqin suddenly realized, and then saw a table of dishes, she immediately greeted Chen Gang: "Come on, come on, try my grandson's craftsmanship."

Chen Gang could only sit down.

Today his mission is to come over and talk to Li Zheng to learn about the incredible path of why Li Zheng chose to retire after he won so many honors.

By the way, he also wanted to ask Li Zheng how he was able to make so many achievements in more than two years, including two first-class achievements, which was a miracle.

"You guys sit down and talk, I'll go to serve the dishes and get the dishes."

After putting the two of them at the dining table, Xu Xiuqin turned around and went into the kitchen.

Li Zheng and Chen Gang looked at me and I looked at you through the rectangular dining table.

Suddenly, Chen Gang took off his eyes and sighed.

He understood why Li Zheng made so many achievements.

"You belong to the Special Forces?"

He asked.

Li Zheng also saw some familiar things in Chen Gang's eyes. That kind of thing is often seen in the eyes of veterans in 203.

Li Zheng nodded: "Well, from the Special Wars Brigade."

He asked again: "Have you ever been to the battlefield?"

Chen Gang did not hide it and nodded, "Well, in 1979, the Southern Xinjiang Counterattack, the Eastern Front troops."

He asked again: "Where are you?"

Li Zheng refused to comment: "Confidentiality Order."

Chen Gang: "I understand."

Xu Xiuqin came out of the kitchen and saw a strange scene. Chen Gang and Li Zheng sat face to face, but didn't say a word.

She put down the dish strangely, prepared the meal for the two of them, and asked, "Why are you not talking?"

Chen Gang then realized: "Li Zheng and I..."
