Chapter 986: Persuasion
One update.
---------------
Liu Lianbao has been extremely restless recently. He has written several letters to Zhao Qihui, but there has been no response at all. He is about to go on an expedition, and his heart is really burning.
There was training in the evening, and after dinner, everyone rested in the dormitory. He couldn't stay any longer, so he ran to the playground to vent a few laps. When he returned, he happened to see Li Aiyuan standing there and looking around.
Feeling happy, Liu Lianbao hurried over and said, "Auntie, have you eaten?"
Li Aiyuan, who was hesitating to find someone to help call her son out, suddenly saw an acquaintance, and her face was immediately filled with a smile: "Platoon Leader Liu, can you please help me find Qiliang?"
"Okay, just wait, I'll go right away." Liu Lianbao raised his legs and ran towards the dormitory. This may be his future mother-in-law, but he has to behave well!
Zhao Qiliang was sitting there in silence when Liu Lianbao slapped him hard, making him tremble. Before he could react, the other party forcibly dragged him away: "Auntie is here to see you. She is waiting outside."
"Who?" Zhao Qiliang repeated it again without hearing clearly who he was talking about.
"Aunt Li."
"Who is Aunt Li?" Zhao Qiliang still didn't respond.
Helpless, Liu Lianbao had no choice but to speak more clearly: "Aunt Li is your mother, and it is your mother who is here to find you."
"Oh oh oh..." Zhao Qiliang nodded suddenly, with an embarrassed look on his face, "You suddenly became Auntie and Aunt Li again. I can't go back."
Liu Lianbao couldn't help but whisper: "I can't call you mother now."
Not hearing clearly, Zhao Qiliang moved his head closer to him: "What?"
"Nothing, nothing. I just envy you that you have relatives coming to visit. My parents are far away..." Liu Lianbao sighed and said nothing more. He was really sad in his heart. It has been a year and a half since he went back to his hometown to see his parents. I don’t know if I will have a chance to see them again this time.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that he was such a bastard. She was just a woman with a careless mind. How could he not risk his life for such a person? If he really left, the woman wouldn't feel the slightest bit, but his parents would be sad for the rest of their lives!
"Why don't you ask for leave and go home and have a look before you come back?" Really not knowing how to comfort him, Zhao Qiliang suggested, "Anyway, we won't be going on missions for the time being. Just stay home for two days less. The division commander will definitely agree."
"No..." Liu Lianbao shook his head, "If I go back at this time, what will others think? If they all go back, what will happen? Let's forget it."
"My sister hasn't replied to you yet?" After hesitation, Zhao Qiliang still asked. He knew what the other party was thinking, and also knew that the other party was embarrassed to open her mouth to him, so he could just take the initiative to initiate the topic.
"No." After hearing what Zhao Qiliang said, Liu Lianbao understood that the other party didn't know Zhao Qihui's true thoughts, and he felt a little disappointed. He also wanted to get some information from Zhao Qiliang. It seemed that the score was a typo. .
"A good girl is afraid of pestering, so you can write to her again. Also, make good military exploits. Girls all like heroes, and my sister is no exception..." Zhao Qiliang patted him, "Don't worry, I'll write to my sister." When the time comes, I will also speak for you."
"Thank you..." Liu Lianbao looked at him gratefully, "I know that my conditions are not worthy of Qi Hui, but I really like her very much. Please tell Qi Hui that if one day we both meet, I will I will treat her well in this life and never let her suffer any injustice."
"Okay, I will definitely tell her." The two of them were talking and had already reached the outside of the dormitory. A few steps away, Li Aiyuan was stretching her neck to look around. The moment she saw her son, she immediately waved happily, "Mom is here."
"Mom, why are you here?" Zhao Qiliang looked at Li Aiyuan with a puzzled expression.
"Anyway, I'm going home tomorrow..." His face suddenly changed as he said that, "Did something happen?"
"Yes." Li Aiyuan glanced at Liu Lianbao while responding.
"Aunt, Qiliang, you guys are chatting, I'm going to take a shower first." Liu Lianbao said as he pulled off the clothes that were wet with sweat.
Li Aiyuan was very satisfied with Liu Lianbao's common sense, and her smile softened unconsciously: "Liu Platoon Leader, I'm sorry to bother you. When Xiaoliang goes back tomorrow, you can go there together, and Auntie will make dumplings for you to eat."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Liu Lianbao responded and ran away quickly, feeling extremely happy.
"This kid, except for his shallow education, is quite good..." Seeing the other party's figure disappear, Li Aiyuan couldn't help but sigh, and then got to the point, "I heard that you are about to go on a mission, what do you think? of?"
"Mom, who did you listen to?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhao Qiliang felt that what he was asking was really childish. His brother-in-law is the teacher, so why should he ask?
"Your sister-in-law called me and told me." As expected, Li Aiyuan's answer confirmed Zhao Qiliang's idea.
"Mom, I have to go..." Zhao Qiliang looked at Li Aiyuan seriously, "I am a soldier. At this time, there is absolutely no room for retreat. Otherwise, I will look down on myself for the rest of my life.
I know that you are worried that something unexpected will happen to me. Don't worry, I will protect myself. I will come back to be filial to my parents and protect Xiaoqiong and the unborn baby.
Mom, don't scare yourself with your wild thoughts. I participated in it last time. The scene is really not as scary as you think. Mainly, our division commander is so clever. If you follow him, it will be absolutely safe. "
"No matter how safe it is, it is still a war. Guns and guns don't have eyes, so they can't see you and not run towards you. Qiliang, mother knows that it is not recommended for newly married soldiers to participate in missions.
Therefore, Mom's request is not selfish. If you were not married, Mom would really not say anything. But now, instead of thinking about others, we have to think about Xiaoqiong and our children.
During this period of pregnancy, the mood of the pregnant woman is so important. If you just leave like this, Xiaoqiong will worry about this and that all day long, which will not be good for the child.
You don’t want your children to have problems in the future, right? Besides, it’s not like missing one of you will affect the entire mission. To put it bluntly, there is no difference at all if there is one more of you and one of you less. For the sake of our family, you just have to listen to your mother for once, okay? "
"Mom, if every soldier's family thinks like this, will there be anyone on the mission?" Zhao Qiliang looked at Li Aiyuan seriously, "Don't force me, there is really no discussion about this matter. Otherwise, you can ask me whatever you want, but this is really not possible. You don’t want my children to be ashamed of me, right?”
"You kid, how come you can't get enough of it?" Li Aiyuan looked at him bitterly, "If I knew you were like this, my mother should have stopped Xiaoqiong from marrying you!"
"Mother..." Zhao Qiliang looked at his mother with a speechless expression. He really didn't know what to say. Who was the person who was so worried that he didn't want to eat or drink because he didn't get married?
Li Aiyuan waved her hand: "Forget it, I won't nag you anymore. I'll go find your teacher and ask him to remove you from the quota."
"Mom, if you do this, I will hate you forever..." Zhao Qiliang looked at her steadily, "Do you want your son to live like a zombie all his life, or do you want him to be a man who stands upright?"
"Why are you so stubborn, kid?" Li Aiyuan knew her son's temper, so she stood there in a dilemma. Logically, she understood that she shouldn't stop her son, but emotionally, she couldn't do it.
Not to mention anything else, she couldn't do it just for her daughter-in-law and her unborn baby.
Yes, she also believed what her son said. It might not be a problem, but what if something happened? Just because it was okay last time doesn't mean it will be okay this time. Moreover, she didn't know last time, otherwise, she would probably have stopped him.
Of course, she also understood that if everyone thought like her, what else would the soldiers do? However, she still couldn't let herself have such a high consciousness. She only had one son. If she had known that this day would come, she would not have let her son become a soldier...
The mother and son stood there in a stalemate, and the soldiers who came in and out would take a curious look at them.
In the end, Li Aiyuan gave in: "Let's not talk about the results now. You and your father and grandparents will discuss it before we make a decision, okay?"
After thinking about it, Zhao Qiliang nodded: "Okay." He believed that his father and grandfather would definitely support him, and would eventually help him convince his mother and grandmother.
Of course, Zhou Mikang's doing this also made him feel warm in his heart. Although it caused him a little trouble, it allowed the elders in the family to be mentally prepared in advance so that they would not be angry with him again when they found out later. , and frightened.
"Mom, you're going to call dad later, right?"
Li Aiyuan nodded: "Well, ask your father and your sister to come over tomorrow, and we will discuss it as a family."
"Then shall I ask Liu Lianbao to go with me tomorrow?"
"Go." Li Aiyuan sighed, "It's not like the child doesn't know what he thinks about Qi Hui. He compares his own thoughts to people's hearts. If his parents knew about it, they would be no less worried than me.
We can't help him with anything else, so let your sister give him some comfort. Originally, your sister promised to visit him everywhere after a year, but when she went back, there was no news at all. How can you tell him that in his heart? Are you safe? "
"Could it be that after my sister goes back, the article will always be published, so she has to stay away from Platoon Leader Liu first?" After saying that, Zhao Qiliang shook his head again, "My sister is just too soft-hearted. How can this happen? How to comfort her in this way? What if I pass the exam and have to be with her? "
Li Aiyuan glared at him: "Don't worry about these things now, sort out your own affairs first, and then talk about what is going on with your sister, won't you know tomorrow?" R1152
