Nine Star Burden

The two brothers returned from the rainy city of Rongcheng to the already chilly city of Riverside and took the high-speed train to Ariel.

Yali City, specifically Yali Town, is located 200 km southeast of Jiangbin City.

Although this is a small town, there is a huge ski resort.

Although it is almost November, the opening is about to begin, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue do not have the mind to ski.

At afternoon, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue arrived in front of a slightly dilapidated residential area according to the address given by Zhang Songfu.

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue wandered around, the living area was not bad, the pharmacy, fruit and vegetable shop and so on, the two brothers found a hotel and opened a standard room.

The small town hotel, of course, can't expect how good the conditions are. Han Jiangxue understands what Jiang Xiao means, and he doesn't want her to follow him.

In the hotel, Jiang Xiao looked in the mirror and changed his appearance. Then he walked out of the bathroom and looked at Han Jiangxue. "Like I was 30? ”

Han Jiangxue was obviously stunned. The one who was supposed to have a green face was very mature at this time. Is this a middle-aged Jiang Xiao?

Jiang Xiao continued: “Wouldn't it be cooler if you had a beard? ”

During the conversation, Jiang Xiao's lips became bearded and the small round head became a short curly hair with long fingers.

Han Jiangxue slightly clasped his lips, seemed to see the age of Jiang Xiaofeng Hua Zhengmao, he turned into a face, unchanged were those bright eyes, and there was a god.

He is no longer the ignorant teenager, after hard training day and night, participating in battles big and small, stepping to the top of the world and winning the world championship, his temperament has been sharpened, far more attractive than his face.

Han Jiangxue said softly: "Don't beard. ”

Jiang Xiaoshrugged his shoulders and erased his beard from his lips. He turned around and walked away: “I'll be back as soon as I can. ”

Jiang Xiao, wearing his hat, walked out of the hotel, bought some fruits from a nearby fruit and vegetable shop, carried a case of milk with him and walked into the dilapidated residential area across the street.

Quickly walked to the third floor, Jiang Xiaoshen took a deep breath, dropped the milk chest and knocked gently on the door.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

No one answered.

Jiang Xiao knocked again... still no one answered.

Jiang Xiao took off his hat and grabbed the natural roll. Aren't you home?

This is four hours. At 6: 00 p.m., Jiang Xiao finally waited for Zhang Songfu's father.

In fact, since 5 p.m., there have been successive returns of residents who walked past the third floor, looking curiously at the man waiting at the door, and several of them, appeared rather emotional.

Seems... they know who this 301 lives in, and they've seen this before.

A tall, skinny man walked up to the second and a half floors and saw a long figure leaning against his door and a milk chest at his feet with a couple of fruit pockets on it, and the man asked, “Are you? ”

Jiang Xiao turned his head. He thought it was another passenger, but he didn't expect it. He waited for his return.

Don't look at the neighborhood as old and broken, because of the old age, the neighborhood is familiar and the occupancy rate is high...

Jiang Xiao looked at a man about fifty years old and looked for traces of Zhang Songfu's father's son on his face. "Uncle Zhang? ”

Zhang Father nodded softly, similarly measuring Jiang Xiao. "Songfu's comrades? ”

Jiang Xiaolian nodded, it seems that this situation has happened many times, Zhang Father already has experience.

Looking at Zhang Father, Jiang Xiao smiled and asked: “How do you know? ”

“Huh.” Zhang Father picked the key and walked up, laughing and saying, "You guys have been on the battlefield, you can see it at a glance... come on in. ”

Jiang Xiao grinned and laughed. Zhang Songfu said that his father was an old civilian police officer. He also had two brushes, and his father was a professional police officer: Railway Public Security.

Zhang Father opened the door and gave Jiang Xiao a pair of slippers. "Have you been waiting long? I asked your aunt where she was. Tell her to come back and cook and eat at home tonight. ”

Jiang Xiao walked in with the fruit and the milk case, measuring the small house.

Don't look at the old residential building, but the house is very clean. Jiang Xiao put things on the coffee table and looked around. The house should be about 7 or 80 square meters, two rooms and one hall, the old two should live comfortably.

Ever since I met Father Zhang, Jiang Xiao has been looking at each other's deities in a dark way. Can you see that he is in good shape?

Jiang Xiaozheng visited the house, searching for all the signs of the old two living conditions, heard the strong northeastern tone coming from the kitchen: “The rookie club? What group of rookies, don't join, the shadows come back, the guests at home (qiě). ”

"Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. ”

There were tall people leading the way, and Jiang Xiao's northeastern cavity came back: “What is the rookie group? ”

Zhang Father sat on the couch and said: "A dollar, farm music, car pick up, bags and bags. ”

“Ah?” Jiang Xiao said, “Is it reliable? ”

Zhang Father: “I don't think so either, but your aunt has participated several times. It was really good fun. ”

Jiang Xiao thought about it, is that another way to advertise?

This is good for the group, if an aunt of this age can serve, then the ad effect, one can cover a neighborhood...

After one topic, there was a moment of silence in the living room.

“Cough.” Zhang Father coughed twice, "Songfu's comrades have arrived several batches, and you are also heartfelt. ”

Jiang Xiao smiled with apologies. "I'm late. ”

Zhang Father waved a smile: “What's not too late? Songfu has a lot of good brothers. Ha ha, there's a lot going on. ”

Jiang Xiao's words were only understood by his own heart. He was really late, whether it was Snowfield or here, it was too late.

“'You haven't retired yet,' said Jiang Xiao. ”

Zhang Father: “Early on, I'm only 53, and I'm 60 years old. Didn't you come back from work? Your aunt is retired. She's tormented everyday, and the rookie group is a square dancer again, so there's no free time. ”

Such a household saying, heard in Jiang Xiao's ear, is already the best result.

Jiang Xiao: “How old is your aunt? She left so early? ”

Zhang Father: “She is a railway worker. She is a front-line worker. She can quit at the age of 51. ”

This old railroad...

The grandparents chatted and opened the subject. After 20 minutes, Mother Zhang came back in a hurry with a pack of vegetables. She just opened the door and split her head and covered her face with one sentence: "Okay, I'll fire you two vegetables. ”

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and didn't ask for his name?

......

Less than half an hour ago, four dishes and a soup had been placed on the table. The couple did not ask Jiang Xiao when he would return to the team or anything like that. They directly acquiesced and forcibly left him for dinner.

However, Jiang Xiao looked at the bulk white liquor in the plastic bottle and felt a little chipped.

Baijiu, not afraid of industrial production, is afraid of folk homemade, the degree is too high, Jiang Xiao really can not stand it.

After drinking a cylinder, Jiang Xiao regretted it. He should bring the second tail. She can drink well with Zhang Father...

Mother Zhang had a short hair and was hot and curly. She was in a good mental state. She let Jiang Xiao eat this and eat it.

Jiang Xiao also finally experienced the taste of picking up chopsticks to eat and putting them down for drinking.

“You kids, don't worry, we're fine.” Mother Zhang got up in front of the sink, washed the cucumber, and prepared to add a dish to the two of them. "He's still at work. I also have a monthly pension, and your team has given a lot of care, enough for us to live. ”

“Hiccup ~” Jiang Xiao hit a hiccup, carrying a liquor, reaching out, "Wait, Uncle Zhang, I slowed down. ”

Zhang Father sipped a sip of white wine and laughed: “Xiaojiang, this is just one cylinder. Why can't you do it? Are you really a soldier? ”

Jiang Xiao's teething, shithead?

Stimulate me again, I'll call the "shake” man!

Mother Zhang took a plate of cucumber and a plate of soy sauce to the table and patted Zhang Father's arm. She glanced at Jiang Xiao with great dissatisfaction. “Eat more, eat some cucumber, and raise your voice. This wine is too powerful. Drink like a fire. ”

Knock.

Jiang Xiao bit the cucumber: “Just fine, Songfu can rest assured. ”

Wine, good and bad.

Under the strength of the wine, such words do not seem appropriate.

Mother Zhang laughed and said: “I cried and cried. I shouted and shouted, and my tears dried up. I have to live. ”

Mother Zhang looked at Father Zhang, and the reason for the old two bites to survive seemed to have turned into each other. After all, Zhang Songfu is their only child. The blow that a white hair man sends to a black hair man is not acceptable to the average person.

Jiang Xiao awoke a little, silenced down.

He wanted to tell the old man that their children were alive and strong.

But the words at the end still haunt their ears: don't give them hope, don't be the last straw.

“They” in the second tail refers to soldiers in the upper dimension. And that's the same thing for the old two mouths.

But Zhang Father said: “The boy is very productive, he is doing business, let alone talk, son, where do you work now? ”

Mother Zhang looked over and asked: “Are you busy? Are you tired? ”

Jiang Xiao held his mouth, shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

“Confidentiality?” Father Zhang laughed, “like Songfu a bear, asking what not to say. ”

Grandmother Zhang suddenly reached out and pressed Jiang Xiao's arm. “Xiaojiang, since you can take time off, go back and spend more time with your parents. ”

Jiang Xiaowei nodded heavily.

After three tours of wine and five flavors of vegetables, Jiang Xiao helped Zhang Father to rest in bed. Jiang Xiao still walked out of the house after Zhang's repeated retention.

Although Jiang Xiao drank less than Zhang Father under the protection of Mother Zhang, Jiang Xiao also drank too much, his body swayed, walked to the floor, flashed and went straight back to the hotel.

Han Jiangxue was absorbing the star power and saw Jiang Xiao standing in the room with alcohol, she hurried up and walked over: “What do you think? Drink so much? ”

Jiang Xiao was helpless and said: “It's hard to be happy. ”

Jiang Xiao took out his cell phone and handed it to Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue picked up the phone, fingerprints unlocked, and found the phone in the photo state.

Han Jiangxue opened the photo and saw a couple of middle-aged and elderly people sitting at the table, Zhang Father was clipping the dishes, and Zhang Mother was saying something to Zhang Father.

Jiang Xiao fell on the bed with a pillow in his arms and said, “I was going to ask for the photograph directly, but I couldn't find a suitable reason. I took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to photograph it, and I'm going to print it. ”

“Mm-hmm.” Han Jiangxue locked his phone on the nightstand and said, "Are you going to die again? ”

Jiang Xiao kicked off his shoes and curled up in bed, confused and said: “Who knows? ”
