Chapter 639 Zhu Yiba's Secret

Dongzhou City, a military guest house in the suburbs.

Zhu Yiba straightened his collar, knocked on the ajar door and walked into room 601.

This is a suite. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a living room of more than ten square meters, which is filled with red solid wood furniture that is deliberately aged. In terms of style, it is just like the image given to people by the Chinese army, simple yet majestic.

Zhu Yiba walked to the window and opened the curtains. Through the window, he could see the military training ground outside. It was the afternoon physical training. Some were doing horizontal and parallel bars in the equipment area, and some were running the 400-meter obstacle course and flipping tires. The recruits were running circles around the big fuck field under the leadership of the squad leader, and a few were kneeling. Vomiting on the edge.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yiba couldn't help but feel a familiar feeling in his heart.

He used to be a soldier who trained every day, and he was still the best.

Standing next to him were equally outstanding comrades-in-arms, Xiaopang, Huangmao and the squad leader.

I don’t know which end they are at now, are they okay?

"Xiaoba, are you here?"

An old man with half-white hair walked out of the back room, holding a brown pottery jar in his arms. The jar is not big, probably about the size of two or three basketballs.

Zhu Yiba quickly stepped forward and helped put the wine jar on the ground.

The old man straightened up, patted his lower back, and walked to the edge of the sofa to sit down.

"Dad." Zhu Yiba greeted in a low voice.

"Dad, it's okay. I can still carry this weight. By the way, your grandma brewed this wine at home. She knew I was coming to see you this time, so she asked me to bring it here." The old man pointed at the wine jar and smiled. road.

"Is grandma okay?"

"She's still the same. This time your mother and I went to our hometown to ask her to come and live with us. But we couldn't resist it. She said she slept soundly in the bed in our hometown, so she refused to come over. Maybe you have such a bad temper. Inherited from your grandma.”

"Um."

After saying a few words, the room became quiet again.

"Are you used to staying here? When are you going back with me?" The old man followed Zhu Yiba's gaze and looked outside at the training ground, hesitated for a while, and asked.

"It's pretty good here." Zhu Yiba's eyes were calm, looking at the soldiers training enthusiastically outside, and for the first time he felt that he was no longer young.

"Well, I have taken care of all the affairs of your comrades. Those who are married have arranged for their wives to join the local civil service, and everything has been settled. Those who want to take care of the children do not need to ask for leave, they can go home directly. The one who is not married , and placed his sister in their best middle school. As long as he doesn’t make any mistakes, he can go to their No. 1 middle school in high school.”

As he said that, the old man smiled and said, "This little girl also said that she will become a soldier in the future."

Although Zhu Yiba was looking out the window, his ears were perked up and he listened carefully and said: "Is she Xiaopang's sister? Silly, why should I become a soldier?"

Bang.

A short but tall guard walked in quickly.

When I first saw the old man receiving guests, I paused, then turned around 180 degrees and walked out.

"stop."

The old man shouted to stop and said with a smile: "Why are you still so rough? Tell me, what's the matter?"

The guard turned around. His complexion was slightly dark, but his face was straight, and his facial features were three-dimensional and clear.

He curiously glanced at Zhu Yiba, who was sitting opposite the old man, and felt that their faces were somewhat similar. Then he turned to report to the old man: "Mr. Zhu, someone from the Ninth Bureau is here. He is waiting in the tea room downstairs. Say I came here specifically for you.”

"You let them come in," the old man paused, then said again, "Just tell me to wash my face and come down right away."

The guard stood at attention and said "yes", turned around and ran away.

"Where's Brother Lin?" Zhu Yiba asked after the others left.

"I've gone to do some work for you, and I'm still accompanying you to socialize there." The old man said softly.

In a humane society like China, no matter how high your position is, once things happen in a different place, they are not as important as the current management. In addition to the first time, this kind of purposeful social interaction must be prepared every year. It not only shows the other party that one has been thinking about the state of the person being cared for here, but also expresses gratitude to the other party for taking care of him this year.

Zhu Yiba, who grew up in a college, knows all this, knows the meaning of "you", and also knows that this social favor is a very important favor, and may even last for ten years, even to the children of his comrades. Be an adult.

The room fell silent again.

The old man stood up and patted his sleeves, looking at his son with concern in his eyes: "This is not your fault, we have done enough."

He has a tall and straight body. Although time has left many marks on his body, he still shows a military demeanor and tenacity.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no answer from his son.

The guests downstairs were still waiting, and the old man said slowly: "Ninth Bureau, do you want to go?"

The old man knew his son's nature. Local management organizations like the police were just a temporary transitional place, like an injured bird flying to the nest behind to recuperate. Only active service is his true destination.

"You can't fire a gun. Going there is just a joke." Zhu Yiba stretched out his right hand and looked at it seriously, then shook his head and refused.

The old man was also straightforward. Seeing that his son had made a decision, he no longer hesitated and walked out. When he was leaving, he only heard a weak "thank you" from behind.

Is it to thank him for arranging the work of the Ninth Bureau, or to thank him for arranging the families of his comrades?

The old man hesitated for only a second, and said without turning his head: "Don't thank me, I can't give you honor, but the hero's family should be properly settled."

After that, he left, and the door was gently closed.

After a while, sobbing could be heard faintly in the room.

At night, Jiangbin Road.

Zhu Yiba, who was neatly dressed, followed the special police team on patrol on the road. With the bonus of the police dog Dahui, he was surrounded by many little girls or big girls along the way.

Occasionally, there were a few young ladies wandering on the roadside, and then they came to Zhu Yiba's side under the pretext of visiting the police dog and carefully handed over WeChat.

After several trips, Zhu Yiba also gained a lot. His good friend Chen Chuan stood by him and teased him several times with a smile. Dahui's trainer Yan Song was also very envious.

Zhu Yiba just shrugged. He didn't like those girls very much, but their smiles and their happiness made him feel inexplicably satisfied.

It was not just because they were girls. The citizens along the river were relieved and comfortable enjoying this moment. After dinner, they took a leisurely walk with their families, which also made him feel at ease.

The deputy captain Chen Shu, who led the team, was the same as usual. After the routine patrol, he paid for everyone to eat fried vermicelli and drink beef soup at the night stall owner who was said to be a public servant.

Zhu Yiba had been in Dongzhou for a long time. From the beginning, he was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, touching here and there, and was very curious. Then he took the light rail in Dongzhou. At that time, he didn't know how to buy a ticket. He stood by and studied for a long time but couldn't get the point.

Because the passengers coming and going all took out their mobile phones and "clicked" and swiped past.

All this was completely different from the border life he had spent many years in.

Later, when he was on duty, he followed the team to patrol the riverside. It was still dusk when he set off. After walking back and forth, the sky became dark, and then the row of lights specially for people to walk suddenly lit up.

The golden lights instantly covered the roads and buildings along the river. Both the shores on this side and the opposite shore were full of tall buildings. There were many colorful flashing neon lights on the buildings.

It was a bit like the stars he saw when he looked up while patrolling the mountains at the border, but it was also a magnificent scene in the world that he had never truly experienced.

Only after experiencing it, you can know how to cherish it.

Sitting on a small stool by the roadside, listening to colleagues around him talking about the interesting topic of "national football = national destiny balancer", Zhu Yiba, who was eating fried vermicelli and drinking beef soup, suddenly felt that the sacrifice of his comrades was worth it.

For some reason, drops of tears quietly slid into the soup;

For some reason, at that moment he thought of his comrades guarding the border.

The country is peaceful and the people are safe, so happy.

Zhu Yiba chewed the beef in his mouth fiercely, happy from the bottom of his heart, and his right hand holding the chopsticks didn't seem to shake so much.
