Chapter 1 The quiet mountain village
Mashan is located among the mountains 200 miles away from the pass, and there is a small village of more than 50 households.
This village is also named after the mountain, and is called Mashan Village.
Mashan Village belongs to Qingfeng County, the first county outside the pass, a small mountain village in Fugao Town.
There are more than 300 people in the village. People uphold the simplicity of the people in the mountains. Everyone is kind and kind, just like a family. However, it can also be said to be a family, because all the people in their village have the surname Cheng and have a common ancestor.
The scenery here is beautiful and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. It can be said that there are few places in this area that maintain the original appearance of the mountain.
It is precisely because the people here did not choose to eat the mountains at the beginning that this place is also the poorest village in this area. Because this incident has caused dissatisfaction among many people, they have been clamoring to go up the mountain to log wood and collect quarries all day long.
In the end, they failed to succeed, all thanks to their old village chief. Although the old village chief has no culture, he has a long-term vision. It is precisely because of his strong opposition that Mashan survived, and the beauty of the area here has been preserved, so that the next generation can get close to nature at a close distance.
There is a small river ditch next to the village, but there is not often water in the river. Only after it rains can you see the rushing river water passing by the village. At that time, the mountains were also covered with mist because it had just rained, and green mountains and clear waters were lingering. In addition, the traditional buildings of the village at the foot of the mountain, the main entrance of the house faces south, and the curling smoke in the morning is very harmonious, natural and beautiful.
It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the natural atmosphere is everywhere. The green is the same when walking on the sheep's intestine path. After the rain, there is a fragrance of grass, which lingers on both sides of the path, so that passers-by can be contaminated with the natural atmosphere.
It was another morning after the rain, and a figure faintly came to Mashan on the path of sheep intestine. The person became clearer and clearer. He was a soldier, about 178 cm tall and straight in a military uniform. Perhaps because the soldier had wide shoulders and looked more heroic when wearing military uniforms. He had two travel bags in his hands, which were packed with bulging things, and must have loads of things. However, the soldiers still walked the same way, without any feeling of carrying weights.
The soldiers walked by while constantly enjoying the scenery around them. Such a scenery should make people feel refreshed, but the soldiers' eyes began to turn red and began to be crystal clear. It may be because the soldiers left their hometown for a long time and were close to the hometown, or it may be because the soldiers were attracted by the scenery and became fascinated by it.
The soldier is named Hu Daming, with the rank of captain. This is not his hometown, his hometown is in QL Province. This is his second time here. His first time is to send his comrades to him. This time he is to see his comrades.
Hu Daming walked to the entrance of Mashan Village, stood there looking at a house in the distance, took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and walked towards the target.
Cheng Jianjun was very excited when he woke up early this morning, inexplicably excited, thinking that something good must have happened today, so he shouted to his wife, "Xiaoling, go and see if there are no people outside. I always feel that someone will come today, but I just don't know who it is."
At this time, a woman walked out of the house with a child in her arms. The woman was not very beautiful, about 1.6 meters tall and a little fat. However, this woman was very kind and simple. The woman was named Yang Ling. She has been taking care of Cheng Jianjun since she came to Mashan Village, without any regrets! The child was about three years old and named Cheng Dabing. She looked very cute. When she saw Cheng Jianjun, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms.
Yang Ling felt very happy. Although she had to take care of her family and her family, she still had to take care of her. However, her heart was very calm and peaceful. The couple had the love and the crystallization of love. Whenever she thought of these, Yang Ling felt that her heart was filled with happiness.
"Oh!" Yang Ling responded, walked to the gate, opened the door made of several wooden boards, and looked out. Yang Ling saw a figure from a distance, unable to see the person clearly. You can see that this person is a soldier, and his military uniform is very eye-catching.
"Jianjun! Come and see, come and see, is it your comrade-in-arms? A soldier is here to our house." Yang Ling was very excited, not because of herself, but because of Cheng Jianjun. She knew what Cheng Jianjun was thinking. She often saw him holding a few photos, staring blankly alone, and occasionally crying. Yang Ling had heard of Cheng Jianjun's story. Cheng Jianjun also told her own story.
"Here, here!" Cheng Jianjun quickly stood up. At this time, he was no different from a normal person, but we couldn't see the scars under his hat and on his back.
When Cheng Jianjun walked to the door, Captain Hu Daming saw his comrades-in-arms at a glance, not his former, but his whole life. Cheng Jianjun in Hu Daming's eyes was still like before, standing there like a tall green pine, and his eyes were still so vivid. However, Hu Daming in Cheng Jianjun's eyes seemed to have not changed much, but he had more cadre uniforms, so he was of course much more mighty.
The two of them were stunned, looking at me, and I looked at you. The eyes of both of them were filled with tears at this moment, but the eyes of both of them were wide open, and they were taking deep breaths to adjust their state. They saw good tears rolling in their eyes, but they just couldn't see them flowing down.
Hu Daming quickly turned his head aside, pretending to look at the scenery everywhere, and still explained, "You are so windy and sandy here, and I don't know how you got through the past twenty years."
Yang Ling was puzzled at this time, but she also looked around in confusion, thinking that there was no wind and sand. I don’t know how good the environment here is. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and many people from the city didn’t want to leave after coming here.
Others don’t know what Hu Daming said, but Cheng Jianjun understands what he meant, “You kid is talking nonsense. Do you think I have a place with sand? Even if there is one, you kid brought it in from outside.”
"You boy hasn't changed at all." Hu Daming put down the bag in his hand and slowly walked towards Cheng Jianjun.
Cheng Jianjun slowly walked towards Hu Daming at this time. The two walked very slowly, but each step was very powerful. When the two approached, Cheng Jianjun punched Hu Daming without saying a word. Hu Daming also waved his fist at the same time, but he immediately put it down because he saw that Cheng Jianjun's face was very pale. Although Cheng Jianjun's eyes were very bright, he could not hide his physical condition at this time.
Hu Daming opened his hands and gently hugged Cheng Jianjun. At this time, Hu Daming could not control his tears, and all his tears suddenly burst out, "Are you okay?"
Cheng Jianjun's tears also flowed down, "It's okay! It's okay! Don't worry! Don't worry!" At this time, Cheng Jianjun didn't know what to say, and the two of them hugged each other and cried like this.
Looking at the two of them, Yang Ling couldn't help but shed tears, but they didn't notice that Cheng Dabing, in Yang Ling's arms, looked at his father, looked at his mother, and then looked at his uncle who was wearing the military uniform. Then he asked Yang Ling: "Mom, what's wrong with Dad and the uncle in the photo, why are they crying?"
Yang Ling was amused by her son's words, and Hu Daming and Cheng Jianjun were embarrassed. Yang Ling knew the embarrassment of the two, so she did not look at them, and lowered her head and asked Cheng Dabing in her arms, "Bingbing, what is the uncle in the photo?"
"Mom is so stupid! The uncle in the photo is the uncle in the photo of Dad." Dabing said naively.
At this time, everyone was amused by Cheng Dabing's innocence. Hu Daming also adjusted his mood and said to Cheng Jianjun: "Orange, why don't you introduce me quickly."
Cheng Jianjun took a deep breath, shook his head, and showed a long-lost smile on his face. He pulled Hu Daming and said, "Beard, come and I will introduce you to you. Introduction. This beautiful lady is my daughter-in-law of Cheng Jianjun, named Yang Ling. This cute child is my son, named Cheng Dabing, and his nickname is Bingbing. Wife, this is my best comrade-in-arms and the best brother Hu Daming."
Cheng Jianjun was very proud to show off to his best brother that he had married a good wife and had a smart child. Hu Daming was also very happy and happy for his brother. He knew Cheng Jianjun's personality. If he had not liked and happy from the bottom of his heart, he would never have been so excited.
Seeing his brother happy, not to mention the injuries on Cheng Jianjun, he thanked and respected Yang Ling from the bottom of his heart. Everything was because his brother was happy.
After hearing Cheng Jianjun's introduction, Hu Daming solemnly walked to Yang Ling and saluted, then bowed and said, "Sister-in-law! Thank you!"
Yang Ling was confused. Looking at Hu Daming's solemnity, Yang Ling was very unnatural. She unconsciously looked at her man. Yang Ling was confused, but Cheng Jianjun was not confused. He was very happy to see his brother's behavior and thought it would be worth it to have such a brother in his life.
Hu Daming also saw Yang Ling's confusion, but he did not explain much, so he reached out and picked up Cheng Dabing and said, "Bingbing, call him uncle, uncle, you can bring you a gift."
When the little guy heard the gift, he looked at him with a glimpse of "Uncle, uncle!" He called out twice, but Comrade Hu Daming was so happy that he hugged Bingbing and returned to his place where he packed his bags. He held Bingbing with one hand and picked up two bags with the other hand and said, "Let's go, I'll send Bingbing gifts to Bingbing." After that, he kept kicking the gate open with rudeness.
At this time, Cheng Jianjun's voice came from behind: "Beard, you have become a bandit, be careful of my door." Comrade Hu Daming did not care about Cheng Jianjun's voice at all. When he reached the main room, he kicked again.
Hu Daming came to an old Eight Immortals table in the main room and placed two bags on the table, then put Bingbing on the table, and then poured out all the things in the bag. One bag was made of toys and the other bag was made of food. It seemed that they were all prepared for Cheng Dabing.
When Cheng Jianjun and his wife entered the house, they saw that the table in their house was full of fun and eating. Seeing the happy smile of the child, Cheng Jianjun didn't say anything, but just told Yang Ling to put away all the things. Yang Ling not only took away the things, but Xiaobingbing saw that the toys and food were taken away by his mother. The little guy also betrayed. Hu Daming was so angry that he cursed Cheng Jianjun with his virtue.
When Yang Ling cleaned up the table, she brewed a pot of tea for her two comrades, poured a cup for them each, and then moved a small stool and sat aside.
Hu Daming picked up the teacup and took a sip, then picked up his bag, took out 30,000 yuan from it, and put it on the table and said, "Orange, sister-in-law, I'm here for a busy schedule. I didn't bring you any gifts. Just take this little money as buying clothes for my sister-in-law."
Yang Ling didn't say anything, but Cheng Jianjun's face darkened and he said unhappily: "Hu Daming, what do you mean? Take it back to me before I'm angry, otherwise I won't do anything with my brothers."
Hu Daming ignored Cheng Jianjun's questioning, drank tea on his own, looked up at Cheng Jianjun's appearance, and smiled and said, "Looking at your bear, you know you would say this, but you have to hear it clearly. This money is not for you, but for your sister-in-law and children. Look at you, I didn't come to marry you, you dare not even tell me about such a big thing, do you still have me as a brother in your eyes? Ah! You said, when you were born, you didn't say anything, did you treat me as your brother, and did you treat me as your comrade-in-arms? Ah! You said."
Facing Hu Daming's rebuttal question, Cheng Jianjun had nothing to say, and his head, which had just been high, has now become lowered.
At this time, Yang Ling felt distressed when she saw her man’s current appearance and quickly explained to Hu Daming: “Da Ming, don’t blame Jianjun, these are all my ideas. If you want to blame, blame me.”
Yang Ling wanted to say something, but Hu Daming waved his hand and did not let Yang Ling continue. Hu Daming said to Yang Ling gratefully: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to say anything. You understand what kind of personality Orange has, but I also understand that you don't have to help him. I have to do a good job with him today."
After Hu Daming finished speaking to Yang Ling, he turned his head to Cheng Jianjun and said, "Comrade Cheng Jianjun, you are a hero, you are a hero, you are a good soldier, you are a good party member, but you are not a good comrade-in-arms, nor a good brother, you are not a good husband, nor a good father. You are vain! You are vain!"
Hearing Hu Daming's words, Cheng Jianjun stood up from the stool, pointed at Hu Daming and shouted: "You said I was vain, how dare you say I was vain!"
Hu Daming didn't care about his anger, slowly refilled himself with a little water, then picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "Am I wrong? Are you not vain? You are a soldier, and you are a party member. You are injured. You don't want to retreat from the company. You restore your retirement. If you don't say I support you. After you leave the army, you understand your physical condition. You have not chosen the job that the country has placed for you. If you don't say I support you, because you are a soldier, because you are a
A party member, because you are a man. But have you ever thought about me, have you ever thought about your sister-in-law, have you ever thought about your child, you are not vain, you sent me the money, you returned it, you said you are okay, are you okay? You are a bachelor, but have you ever thought about me, have you ever thought about our comrades? You are not vain, ah! Look at what life you are living, think about your own body, have you ever thought about your sister-in-law? Have you ever thought about your child?"
After Hu Daming finished speaking, he didn't look at Cheng Jianjun's expression, and he still drank tea on his own. After he finished drinking the tea in the cup, he said to Cheng Jianjun: "Why don't you say anything? You see, you have been a hero for so long, that's enough. You can let us comrades do our best, just treat it as a psychological comfort, okay, can you beg you as I begged you?"
Cheng Jianjun looked at Hu Daming, then looked at his lover, then nodded with a strong expression, and said to Yang Ling: "Ling, put away the money."
Seeing that his words had achieved the desired effect, Hu Daming laughed and said to Cheng Jianjun casually: "Orange, is there any food? I've been traveling all night. It's really hard to get to your place. I haven't had a grain of rice in it yet."
"No, you starve to death." Comrade Cheng Jianjun said viciously.
"Revenge, typical revenge, don't care about me, someone cares about me, sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, I'm hungry!" Comrade Hu Daming looked as expected.
Yang Ling really understands now. Today, her man was shocked. Seeing Cheng Jianjun’s defeated look, she smiled unnaturally. This was the first time she saw Cheng Jianjun’s depressed look. Now his tone was like a child’s temper, but she did not show it too much. Men now want face.
"Hey! Here, you brothers wait for me for a while, it's good for a while." Hearing Hu Daming's greeting, she quickly responded.
"Thank you sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work, not like some people." Comrade Hu Daming did not forget to attack Cheng Jianjun at this time.
Yang Ling hurriedly walked towards the kitchen. Cheng Jianjun was also very moved at this moment. He was so happy that he was such a good comrade, such a good wife and children. He had paid too little for them. He thought he would not bother with his comrades and had no burden in his heart. But where did he put his comrades? Can they bear to watch themselves suffer? Can they bear to let their wives and children suffer? Comrade Cheng Jianjun's answer was yes.
"Lingling, you can make two dishes and buy two more bottles of wine. Today, our brothers must have a good drink." Comrade Cheng Jianjun put down the burden in his heart at this time.
"Hey! I'll go right away." Yang Ling was very happy to see her man returning to her former state.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so troublesome. We are not outsiders. Just put some peanuts and pickles. Our brothers would have done this before." Hu Daming was afraid that Yang Ling would be too troublesome, so he quickly instructed.
"Don't worry about this, let your sister-in-law watch it yourself. We haven't met for several years. Today, let's have a good chat with our brothers." Cheng Jianjun of course understood what his comrades thought.
"Okay, I don't care, but you have to tell your sister-in-law not to be too troublesome." Hu Daming knew Cheng Jianjun's personality, and he was not too serious about this at this time.
"How are you doing recently? You are really good. If Lao He hadn't greeted me, I would have been kept in the dark by you." Hu Daming said with concern.
Lao He and Cheng Jianjun were a group of soldiers and Hu Daming's comrades-in-arms. They were restored together with Cheng Jianjun. However, because his performance in the army was average and he did not receive special care from the army, he could only go wherever he came and returned to his hometown according to regulations. He was from the same county as Cheng Jianjun, so they often interacted with each other.
"I said why did you come before the time we agreed on? It turned out that there was a traitor." Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with his comrade-in-arms Lao He's behavior of not keeping a secret for him and not being trustworthy.
"You are so embarrassed to say that you want me to become the battalion commander and when will you see you? It turns out that from the beginning, you planned to lie to me. Fortunately, when I was chatting with Lao He, I found that what he said was inconsistent, so I told me after my questioning, but it was still a bit late." Hu Daming did not blame Cheng Jianjun too much. He knew that if he was Cheng Jianjun, he might have done this.
"The main reason is that I'm afraid you're worried. You see, aren't I doing well now?" Cheng Jianjun said casually.
Chapter completed!
