.

It was getting darker and Xiao Qiang was still sitting in front of the window.

Lin Yi quietly sat down beside him, stretched out her hand, and gently held his hand: "Are you worried about anything?"

Xiao Qiang opened the drawer of the desk. He took out a small brocade box from it and signaled her to open it.

Lin Yi opened the brocade box and covered her mouth with a whisper: "This is..."

In the brocade box, there is a small medal lying. The medal is gold and silver alloy, with a waving red flag in the middle, with the Chinese characters Eighty ones printed on it. On the edge of the medal, there are patterns such as gears, rockets, satellites, etc.

"This is a special national defense science and technology medal, and there is only one in the country." Xiao Qiang stroked the medal, his heart was ups and downs. "It's a pity that this is a secret medal. In order to avoid other countries mistakenly thinking that the Universal World is a national defense enterprise, I can't wear it, it can only be used as an eternal treasure."

"Is this a good thing Director Zhou said?" Lin Yi said, playing with the medal with her love.

Xiao Qiang gently hugged Lin Yi into his arms and said, "He has something to come to me." He repeated Director Zhou's purpose to Lin Yi in detail.

"How could this be done!" Lin Yi's attention immediately shifted from the medal and shouted in disbelief.

Xiao Qiang touched the ground's head, felt the smooth black hair, and said indifferently: "I have an idea."

Lin Yi's eyes widened, as if she had heard the most incredible thing in the world, her red lips slightly opened.

"My solution is," Xiao Qiang grinned and laughed silently, "We should do whatever we should do! Everything is enough to follow the laws of technology. So, the first step is that I need to consider our marriage!"

"Bah! You guy!" Lin Yi punched him in a funny and angrily, but her heart was sweet.

The two of them have been running for several years. Xiao Qiang has been running around outside. There are not many opportunities to be together. After waiting for so long, he finally achieved the right result. When Lin Yi thinks about the past, he can't help but feel like a dream.

Lin Yi has a relatively calm personality and doesn't like to have big fucks.

She discussed with Xiao Qiang that she would just hold a simple wedding in her hometown, and she didn't want to be too alarmed.

Xiao Qiang used to be around the world, and except for calling every time, the two had only a few times to get together. This time she wanted to belong to them only, and did not want many people she didn't even know, to come to congratulate and turn a wedding into a social venue again.

In mid-September, the two of them quietly returned to the southwest provincial capital that had been away for a long time without alarming others.

Xiao Qiangdi's family was no longer in the original military district family building, but also purchased a three-bedroom commercial house. This was done by Lin Yi when Xiao Qiang was not here.

Originally, according to Xiao Qiang's intention, he wanted to buy a villa for his parents, and it would be best to live in Beijing together, but the old couple did not agree.

They have been simple all their lives. They can't adapt to letting them live in villas and live a life of luxury.

In Xiao Jianjun's words, as long as you can live in a house, it's a waste to buy that big one. You have to think about which room to sleep at night. It's purely because you're full. Wenrong's answer is completely like a housewife's tone: there are too many rooms, and it takes half a day to clean. This is not enjoyment but suffering.

Xiao Qiang is now famous, but not many people really recognize him.

He and Lin Yi left the airport. He called a taxi for a taxi and went straight to his new home. No one knew that this tall man in ordinary clothes was actually an international giant with a net worth of billions.

Xiao Qiang's fingers were trembling when he pressed the doorbell button.

I haven't been home for several years. Are my parents okay? Are there any traces of white hair on their heads?

When they see themselves, what do they look like?

Lin Yi saw his expression of crying and laughing. Her heart was filled with tenderness and grabbed his hand.

Without Rong Xiaoqiang's thoughts, the door opened.

Wenrong suddenly felt in the cat-eye observation mirror of the gate. When she saw her son, she almost fainted when she saw her.

She opened the door. Before Xiao Qiang could say a word, she hugged her son and started crying: "You dead child, you won't come back for a few years after you go out. Do you know how much mother is worried about you, and her hair is so white that she misses you!"

Xiao Qiang shortened his body a little, allowing his mother to hold her head, and her eyes were wet. Lin Yi stood aside, and she had already shed tears.

Just at the gate, Wenrong hugged Xiao Qiang and asked her all the time, was she healthy, was she full, and whether she was bullied. Before Xiao Qiang had four answers, she was busy asking the next content, wishing she could ask her son all the lives of the past few years immediately.

"Mom, let us go into the house first, and let others see it." Xiao Qiang said quickly when his mother's voice became louder and louder, and there was a tendency to alarm the neighbors.

"What are you afraid of? My son is still afraid that others will know if he will come home?" Wen Rong said this, and let Xiao Qiang and Lin Yi enter the house.

Compared with the family courtyard in the military region, the living room of more than ten square meters looks very large.

But after so many years, Xiao Qiang often sent money to his parents, but he didn't see how much new furniture they had purchased.

The sofa was the same as the one at home, but there was a few short tables in front of the sofa. The TV was replaced with a twenty-one-inch one, but the TV table was still the one at home.

A projection screen drooped from the roof against the wall. Xiao Qiang pulled it gently, but the inside was still brand new. It was obvious that the old couple rarely used it.

There is no trace of decoration in the room. In the terminology of a real estate developer, it is a clear water room. However, everything is clean and spotless.

Xiao Qiang looked over in tears, sleepwalking.

My parents' room. That large wardrobe was an old antique that existed when he was beaten to the place where he could remember. It is said that it was the only furniture to buy the place when they got married.

The double bed is new, but Simmons is placed aside and is placed on the bottom with a hard board.

"Mom," Xiao Qiang's lips kept shaking, and tears flowed out unknowingly. "What, what..., didn't I send you money? This Simmons is very soft, why don't you do it?"

Wenrong didn't feel shabby at all. He said, "You young people, how many of you have, I'd like to spend all the money. I'll save all the money you send back. When you get married, I'll hold a banquet for you. This Simmons is a pit when you fall asleep. Your father and I are old and can't get used to this. It's better to use this board to ease your sleep."

In a room next door, Xiao Qiang saw another scene.

This room is much bigger than the room where Wenrong and Xiao Jianjun slept. The room is decorated beautifully. The wooden floors and walls are putty, which are as smooth as a mirror. The roof is a large crystal chandelier. Large color TV, projector, new combination furniture, computer desk...

There is also a stroller in the corner of the house!

Xiao Qiang could no longer hold it back and hugged his mother, unable to say a word, and tears flowed out incessantly.

I feel sorry for parents in the world. They save money and spend all their thoughts on their children. They would rather live a worse life than be afraid that their children will suffer...

"What are you doing, what are you doing? When you and Xiaoyi come back, the old man doesn't know how happy he should be. You are still crying, you are such a silly child..." Wenrong's face was also like being washed, and he suddenly pushed his son away, "By the way, I haven't informed your father yet. I'll call him immediately and ask him to come back!"

After saying that, he ran to the living room and called.

"What! Xiaoqiang is back? That bastard knows to go home too! See if I won't beat him to death! Look at him, I'll be back soon!" Xiao Jianjun's voice on the phone could be said to be yelling, and before he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wenrong muttered: "I still have an old temper. I don't think I'm so old, but I'm still so popular!" She put down the phone and ran into the inner room. She opened the big wardrobe. She took out a stack of money from under the other party's clothes. She took a few pieces, then carefully locked them up, went to the kitchen to carry the basket, and was about to go out.

"Mom, don't cook your own food. Let's go out and buy some cooked food." Xiao Qiang knew what she was going to do when he saw her mother's actions.

Wenrong refused to agree. After his son finally came home, how could he not make a sumptuous dish to comfort him?

"Auntie, I'll go with you." Lin Yi followed.

"No, no, you and Xiaoqiang worked hard all the way, so they rested at home. I was idle at home every day, and it was just enough to exercise." Wenrong walked out quickly. Lin Yi also chased after her, took the vegetable basket from her, talked all the way, and walked downstairs.

Xiao Jianjun rushed back in the evening.

Xiao Qiang was watching TV at the time. He wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but his mother pushed it out, so she had to watch TV to pass the time. As soon as he heard the door lock ringing, he immediately jumped up.

The door opened, and an equally tall officer appeared at the door.

After a few years, Xiao Jianjun's buzz cut was all white on both sides. His face was tanned and covered with wind and frost. It can be seen that the hard work of the troops at the grassroots level was working.

On his shoulders were three Venus stars. He was already a colonel.

"Dad..." Xiao Qiang said a word, and his throat choked and he couldn't speak.

Xiao Jianjun's expression was as serious as ever. He closed the door casually, walked to him with great strides, and looked at his son carefully.

After a long time, he swept his expression to pieces and showed a gratified smile. He patted Xiao Qiang's shoulder heavily and pinched his shoulder hard: "Good boy, he is so strong. He can't even pinch his muscles on his body. You may be stronger than me now!"

Xiao Qiang asked his father to sit down, and the two of them filled the sofa.

"Dad, congratulations. I have finally been promoted to colonel. I should be a regiment commander now, right?" When Xiao Qiang saw his father, all his words were tied into his mind. It took him a long time to think of this sentence.

Xiao Jianjun waved his hand and said, "What regiment commander? Your dad is not this material. There was news earlier that he said he would be promoted to the regiment commander. But I felt that I couldn't do it, so I took the initiative to ask for it and took the special forces in our area. If there were some materials and some things to do, I was not the regiment commander, and I couldn't achieve results after I went there. It would be better to take the special forces in our area honestly."

"But you have been thinking about it..." Xiao Qiang was surprised when his father admitted that he was not capable anymore? Didn't he keep working hard and studying various materials, hoping to achieve something?

Xiao Jianjun sighed: "In the past, I was indeed full of ambitions and wanted to achieve something. But in the past two years, I have found that my thinking has been fixed and I can't keep up with the times. I have been paying attention to the Gulf War, but I find that I can't understand some of the tactics in it.

To be honest, I was the first to put forward many tactical ideas at the beginning, but the usage of the ideas was very different from the actual use of the US military. I knew at that time that I was already a figure from the past era, the same weapon. In my hands, I could not exert its real performance. The only thing I was good at was special operations. After thinking about it, I decided to work hard and no longer be too ambitious."

He glanced at his son and said proudly: "In this field, I have made great achievements! Wait, I will take out the military medal for you!"

He walked into the inner room like a child eager to offer treasures and took out a pile of military medals wrapped in silk from it.

The commemorative medal of military exercises in 1987, the first-class merit medal of military competition, the third-class merit certificate of military training..., each brilliant military merit medal and certificate, which record Xiao Jianjun's achievements in the past few years.

Xiao Qiang carefully took out his medal box from his close-fitting pocket and put it with his father.

Xiao Jianjun's eyes lit up, and he opened the brocade box and was stunned.

He had never seen such a medal, and this standard clearly surpassed all his medal levels.

"This is the National Defense Science and Technology Medal awarded to me. This is the only one in the entire army in the country, and it was issued to me secretly." Xiao Qiang said softly.

Xiao Jianjun's hands shook violently. He held up the medal and looked greedily from all angles: "Family heirloom. This is our family heirloom!"

"These are all! These medals record all our achievements!" Xiao Qiang carefully arranged all the medals, military medals, commemorative medals, and award certificates neatly. "When we see these things, we will feel that we have not lived our life in vain."

Wenrong brought the dishes out of the kitchen, put them on the short table, and smiled and said, "My son just came back. You are the father-in-law, so you took out your treasures."

"Wrong! Xiao Qiang's current grades are much better than me, a father! Look at what this is!" Xiao Jianjun proudly raised his son's medal. Seeing that Xiao Qiang achieved greater achievements than him, Xiao Jianjun was happier than himself.

Wen Rong grabbed the medal and was shocked by its exquisite production.

"This is the only one land medal in the entire army! Wenrong, this is the secret place of awarding, you are not allowed to tell it!" Xiao Jianjun said with concern when he saw his wife's expression of ecstasy.

"I know, I don't know the confidentiality regulations yet. I want you to talk too much!" Wen Rong was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She held the medal and gestured against Xiao Qiang's chest. Thinking of her son wearing this medal, she began to cry again.

My son won this only land medal in the entire army. This shows how much contribution he has made!
