journey

The Gejiazhuang military compound is a place that no one in the city knows.It is said that at the time of the Republic of China, this courtyard was here.It has an antique charm, and the common people think this is the most solemn place in the city.But in this antique, there is always a little... different taste.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy, wearing the uniform of an unknown junior high school, was sitting on a tree branch as high as a three-story building, and shouted at four or five children of different sizes below:

"Hurry up, who can climb as high as brother, come up!"

Just as he was chattering triumphantly, he heard a roar like a tiger's roar:

"Chu Zheng, get out of here!"

This shout did not scare Chu Zheng from the tree to fall off, but the little kids under the tree squatted on the ground in fright.

Chu Zheng looked for the sound of the tiger howling and saw that it was over, it was really his father.Immediately, like a mouse, it swished down from such a tall tree a few times.He shook his face with his sleeves, and stood straight in front of his father with his hands stuck to the seam of his trousers.

"Hello, Commander!"

The Commander's yelling at his father made his face even darker.His father is the Chief of Staff of the Chu University who everyone in the courtyard fears. He is not famous, but he is very powerful. Many younger people in the courtyard are trained by his father.Because of this occupational disease, he often puts on an official air at home. Chu Zheng's mother can't see his father like this, and sarcastically calls him "Master Commander" at home. Chu Zheng has heard it a lot since he was a child. Call his father, Commander-in-Chief.

The little kids under the tree also grew up listening to their parents talk about the great achievements of the Chief of Staff of Chu, and now when they heard the roar, they all got up in fright and stood in a military posture. Row.

Chu Zheng stood for a while before he noticed that there was a little guy standing behind his father, just as high as his father's buttocks, trying to hide behind his father, the more Chu Zheng stretched out his head, the more he shrank back, Chu Zheng Zheng's curiosity was all aroused, he didn't move from the neck down, his head almost went behind his father's ass.

Chu Zheng's father's name was Chu Jianjun. In those days, anyone who didn't call himself an army patriotic felt outdated.Comrade Chu Jianjun pinched Chu Zheng's neck that was about to stretch out of joint, and exerted some strength.

"Hey, Dad, Dad...It hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, can't I be wrong..."

"You still know it hurts. You are the biggest among a group of children. I don't know how to bring something! You are the best at climbing walls and climbing trees. You are determined to be a special soldier. I warn you, Chu Zheng, and let your class teacher ask me to go to school again this semester. , came back and directly removed your duck neck."

His father let go, Chu Zheng reached out and rubbed the back of his neck, muttering to himself, "What is a duck neck?"...

Chu Jianguo looked around at the little kids, pointed at Chu Zheng and said, "Study hard, don't fool around with him." A group of kids stood up straight and shouted, "Yes! Commander." With the child behind him, he walked home.

Chu Zheng turned around and said to his friends, "Come out to play again at night", and then ran up with his father.The child led by his father was thin, with long hair and ordinary clothes, unlike the children of rich officials and rich families, it seemed that he picked it up from nowhere.The child didn't say a word, and followed his father with his head down. He couldn't see a man or a woman from behind, and he didn't see him from the front.Chu Zheng was curious, but since he had just provoked his father, he didn't want to talk much, so he just looked back and pondered.

Back home, his mother just opened the door, didn't even look at him and his father, went straight to the little one, picked up the child, touched the little face:

"This is Luo Luo, hey, how cute."

Love ingredients enough to be visible.

Luo Luo?There were 1 question marks in Chu Zheng's heart, and his co-author knew that the child came to his house today.His mother's surname is Chen, and her name is Shufen. In those days, anyone who didn't call herself Shufen Guifen was not fashionable.Chen Shufen looked at the dirt on her son's school uniform, and she was so angry that she slapped Chu Zheng on the back of the head:

"Where did you go wild again? Why are your clothes so dirty? Didn't they just wash you yesterday! Are you in need of cleaning up!"

Chu Zheng hurriedly changed his shoes and ran into the house. After so many years of experience, now he can obediently sit in front of the desk and be a child who does his homework seriously.Although most of the time, I just sit there, my soul flies out of the window...

Sitting in front of the desk, took out the books and arranged them, and then began to wander.Where did the child come from? Why didn’t the parents say that someone was coming at home today? Look, it’s a boy... Thinking about it, his mind was full of question marks, so he quietly walked to the bedroom door, and put his head on it. At the door, listen to what parents are saying outside.

"Hey, baby, why are you so thin? Tell auntie what you like to eat, and auntie will make up for you, okay?"

"It's thin, but Xiao Qi brought him to my office, and it hurts me to see him."

"Ugh..."

Chen Shufen sighed, was quiet for a while, and said again:

"You play with him first, I'll go and cook quickly. That little bastard Zheng'er has gone crazy, and his clothes are so dirty, he serves him every day."

"Oh, I saw him. He is sitting on a tree more than ten meters high. Your son is very powerful."

"It's not your son, it's not up to you! I just met you but you are still sitting on the roof. This little bastard, let's see how I will deal with him later."

Chu Zheng's heart skipped a beat in the room, well, those who wanted to hear didn't hear it, and those who didn't want to hear it heard enough, it's hard tonight again.

A dish of steaming dishes was served on the table, and the fragrance wafted in through the crack of the door.Chu Zheng, who had been crazy all afternoon, immediately responded from his stomach.But he had to sit there solemnly and wait until his parents called before he dared to move, otherwise he would not look well-behaved enough.Chen Shufen wiped the handle and knocked on the door

"Stop pretending, come out and eat quickly."

When Chu Zheng heard it, it was over, and he was going to be scolded again.Just when he was about to go out, he realized that he was still wearing the school uniform, so he quickly grabbed the sportswear on the bed and changed into it, and then sat down at the dining table tremblingly.Dad still didn't come out of the study room, and the child was sitting on the table. It should be his mother who washed his face, and his face was fair and clean.Chu Zheng looked at him carefully, his eyes were quite big, white and tender, he was quite thin, but he was quite cute, he was about six years old... staring at the child and muttering in his heart, the child felt Chu Zheng's gaze, He looked up at him, expressionless, then stared down at the plate in front of him, without saying a word.

"Luo Luo?"

Chu Zheng tried to call him, and the child looked up at him again, waiting for him to finish.Seeing him looking at him, Chu Zheng was inexplicably shy.

"Eh...that...my name is Chu Zheng."

After holding back for a long time, I didn't know what to say, so I signed up.The child still looked at him motionless, with no facial expression.This is embarrassing for him, although Chu Zheng likes to take the little kids in the yard crazy, and especially likes to be a big brother, but those kids are pretty crazy at first, and they can have fun.Meeting such an introverted and silent person, Chu Zheng was a little confused.In such a cold situation, my mother finally came out of the kitchen to save the situation.

"What are you looking at? Tell your dad to come out for dinner. The old and the young don't worry."

"Order!"

Hearing what his mother said, Chu Zheng immediately found something to do, and rushed to his father's study to call someone.

When the whole family sat down and began to move their chopsticks, Comrade Chen Jianguo spoke:

"Zheng'er, let me tell you. This little brother is the child of my father's comrade-in-arms. Because of some things, he will stay with us in the future. His name is Luo Luo, and his first name is Luo Nianli. He is nine years old this year, younger than you. Three years old. Although you are naughty, you are sensible. Dad hopes that you can treat Luo Luo as your own brother, okay?"

His dad's saying that there is one candy on a stick is very useful to Chu Zheng.Before waiting for a response, his mother spoke again:

"Zheng'er, Luo Luo is very well-behaved, you will be an older brother in the future, can you take good care of your younger brother, and if you have a younger brother, you will restrain your wild energy."

Very good, my mother didn't get mad, it seems that it's thanks to my younger brother.However, Chu Zheng was still a little confused about the word "brother". After all, he was so used to it that he never thought about having younger siblings.However, this child is white and tender, and the impression is quite good.

"Okay, Luo Luo, I will be your brother from now on, and I will protect you if something happens."

After all, he straightened his fleshless chest.Chu Jianguo gave a "cut" and started to eat. Chen Shufen glanced at Chu Zheng

"You don't need to cover it, just set a good example for me. In the future, Luo Luo will share a room with you, and Mom will order a bunk bed for you two, and it will be delivered in a few days. You two will squeeze together first in the next two days." Bar."

As soon as he heard about bunk beds, Chu Zheng became energetic. He went to the army with his dad for a walk, and saw that the dormitory was full of bunk beds, so he kept tossing his parents to get one, but no one paid him any attention. After a while, a younger brother came, who could have a bunk bed, and Chu Zheng instantly felt that this Luo Luo looked more pleasing to the eye.

It was past ten o'clock, and Chu Zheng was still sitting on the desk writing hard. He would definitely have to do his homework, and besides, he messed with his parents today, so he would be able to live longer these two days if he was more honest.His mother knocked on the door and came in. Chu Zheng turned his head and looked at the little Luoluo wrapped in a big bath towel behind his mother. His hair was wet and as long as his chin. He looked like a little girl no matter how he looked. Mom got it wrong.Mom rummaged through the closet and found a few clothes that Chu Zheng was wearing too small.He took out a short-sleeved top, carried Luo Luo to the bed, and changed it for him.As soon as the bath towel was taken off, Chu Zheng quickly stretched his head to look

"Yo, it's really a boy."

Fucking slap on the back of the head

"What are you talking about, you are doing your homework, I warn you, Luo Luo just came here today, I will save face for you, and I will settle those accounts with you later, it is best to be honest with you."

Chu Zheng was devastated, and he just lay down there and continued to write.After Chen Shufen changed Xiao Luoluo's clothes, she asked him to get under the covers.

"Sleep, baby, don't kick the quilt after wrapping up, and tell brother if you want to go to the bathroom at night, okay?"

Luo Nianli nodded with his little head exposed, and Chu Zheng felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard his mother's gentle voice.His mother picked up Chu Zheng's dirty school uniform, ordered some clothes in front of him, looked angry, but said nothing, closed the door with the clothes and left.

Seeing his mother leave, Chu Zheng looked back at the little one lying in the quilt, hehe, sleeping with his eyes closed obediently.Chu Zheng also felt a little sleepy, so he quickly turned around and continued to do his homework.

After struggling for another hour, it was finally over.Chu Zheng came back from washing, ready to get into bed.As soon as the quilt was lifted, the little one inside opened its eyes.

"You're not asleep."

Chu Zheng asked a question.The kid nodded.Chu Zheng got in, and suddenly felt that he didn't know where to put his hands. This was the first time he slept with someone in the same bed.

"Can't sleep, let's talk."

Chu Zheng looked at Xiaobudian and said, Xiaobudian nodded again.

"Are you...can't talk? Why don't you talk, how can you talk if you don't talk?"

"..."

"...can talk."

Xiao Luoluo replied three words for an unprecedented time.Chu Zheng suddenly became interested.

"Hey, then why did you come to live with me, where are your parents?"

"..."

There was no movement again, Chu Zheng was helpless, let's go to sleep.Just when he was about to turn over, Xiao Budian spoke again

"Mom is gone, Grandpa said that Dad went to find Mom"

"..."

Chu Zheng listened with a question mark on his face, Dad went to find his mother?It seems that the family problem is quite serious.However, this child has a very strong accent. Although I don't know where the accent is from, it seems to be from another place.

"Ok."

"Your name is Chu Zheng?"

"Yes, but if you want to call me brother, you can't call me by my first name."

"why?"

"Because my dad said, let me treat you as my own brother, then I will be your own brother. It's disrespectful to call your brother by his first name."

After Chu Zheng chattered a lot, Luo Nianli nodded.Chu Zheng looked at him and couldn't ask any more questions, so he said something about going to sleep, and turned over to sleep by himself. Luo Nianli looked at the back of his head from behind, wondering what he was thinking, and slowly fell asleep.

Every morning is when Chu Zheng races against time, staring at the school schedule on the wall while holding a fried dough stick in his mouth, and packing books in his schoolbag.

"Come here and drink the milk, don't go out if you can't finish it."

His mother yelled while sitting at the dinner table.Chu Zheng really didn't like drinking milk, but he was helpless. His mother said that he had to drink milk even if he didn't eat anything, so he ran to the dinner table, picked up the cup, and drank it all in one go.

"Baby, why do you eat so little, don't you like fried dough sticks?"

Listening to his mother asking the sleepy little Luo Luo who was sitting at the dining table.

"I think it's him who should drink milk. You see, he looks like he is five or six years old, and he doesn't look like he is nine years old."

After hearing Chu Zheng's words, Chen Shufen glanced at him.Chu Zheng got an eye knife, shut up immediately, picked up his schoolbag and ran away

"Be careful, come back early after school to play with my brother, don't go out crazy."

His mother stretched her neck and yelled, but Chu Zheng didn't even look back and went out, playing with his brother... This word is new.

Because he went to junior high school and was far away from home, his father agreed to buy a variable-speed mountain bike for him. Chu Zheng became very excited and felt that it was a drag.I went downstairs and unlocked the car, and as soon as I stepped out of the yard, I saw Lao Tie waiting for him on the bicycle

"Zhuang Yi!"

The boy on the bicycle glanced back at him, kicked his bicycle, and the two rode side by side.

"I'm sorry to make you wait again today."

Chu Zheng smiled and said that he was actually a little scared of this old man. Chu Zheng and Zhuang Yi grew up together, they both lived in the compound, and the two families were very close. She was pregnant with a baby, so she even made a baby kiss, but when she was born, it was all boys, so the baby kiss was useless.Why do you fear him? Zhuang Yi’s temper is not fierce at all, because he is cold and violent, ignoring you and leaving you alone. Chu Zheng is used to being careless, and he really can’t stand Lao Tie watching and ignoring himself every day. So this trick is extremely useful for treating him.But Zhuang Yi got mad at others, and he has indeed seen it before, but he just took this kind of feminine routine when he was dealing with himself. Chu Zheng also complained about him, but Zhuang Yi said, use whatever tricks you want on anyone. The kind of thick-skinned, get mad and you forget the next day.Facts have proved that Zhuang Yi's prescribing the right medicine is still very effective.

They both just entered junior high school this semester, so they made an appointment to ride to school together.But Chu Zheng couldn't get up and was always late, which caused Zhuang Yi to be unlucky several times, so Chu Zheng didn't let Zhuang Yi wait for him later.

"I won't wait for you, if you lose your mind, you will be late even more"

Zhuang Yi replied to him like this, and Chu Zheng felt that what he said made sense, so the two of them went to school together. Every time he got up late, Chu Zheng felt sorry, but he also felt that he was really old, and ordinary people would take care of him like this he.

"Come to my house after school and do your homework together. My dad brought back two models."

At the mention of the model, Chu Zheng's eyes widened.In fact, Chu Zheng is worthy of being a child who grew up in the compound of the military region. He is very interested in firearms and military drills. In fact, his father really said that Chu Zheng wanted to be a special soldier since he was a child. He felt that he was carrying a real gun. It's what a man should do.Zhuang Yi knows best, Zhuang Yi's father likes to collect, and every time he brings back a new model, he will quickly ask Chu Zheng to come to his house to have a look.

"I think I want to go, but I can't do it today. No, I don't think I can do it recently."

"What are you doing? You're going to the army for training again."

"That's not true. After what happened last time, my dad didn't let me go. It's just that a little guy came to my house recently, and he seemed to live in my house. My dad asked me to treat him as my younger brother, and my mother asked me to go home after school." Let's play with my brother..."

"Brother? Whose family's child?"

"I don't know, and no one informed me. My dad brought it back yesterday and slept in the same bed with me. But it's quite obedient, white and tender, and pretty, but he doesn't talk much."

Chu Zheng complained, and after thinking about it, he should really ask his parents what happened.Zhuang Yi looked puzzled, didn't ask any more questions, the two arrived at the school, locked the car and rushed to the classroom, and walked in the door while the bell was ringing.

Chu Zheng really has no interest in studying, but his father's dignity is hindered, so his grades have always been average, and he must not be at the bottom.But fighting is something he is very good at. Because their school is close to the military area, many students are descendants of soldiers. Military families, especially boys, are very common in fighting for strength and love to use force, so Every now and then, someone who doesn't like it can make an appointment.Chu Zheng can be regarded as the king of fights. It is said that if there are 30 fights in a month, and 20 of them, Chu Zheng can be seen.But he is not the kind who is looking for trouble, but the kind who meddles in other people's affairs.As long as he thinks it is unfair, or if someone is bullied and can't stand it anymore, he will go to act chivalrously.So Chu Jianguo, the chief of staff, would often go to his son's school to hold a "temporary meeting".But Chu Jianguo admired his son a little bit. Chu Zheng was generally steady, accurate and ruthless, and he would hit wherever it hurts, but he would never hurt someone ruthlessly.Chu Zheng liked the military since he was a child, and when he became sensible, he often begged his father to take him to the army to hone his training. When he was a child, he always went to summer camps, but Chu Zheng felt that it was just a play house, so after graduating from elementary school, he was in the army. When his father turned a blind eye, he secretly went to the suburban army to follow the training.What I love most is the class of fighting and grappling.In the company he often went to, everyone was familiar with him, and they would secretly contact him to let him come for some insignificant training, and he gradually learned a lot.

After all, he has been so rampant since he was just in junior high school. In the eyes of some domineering seniors, this is an obvious challenge.So when he was going back from school once, he and Zhuang Yi were blocked, he threw his schoolbag into Zhuang Yi's arms, and went up to single-handedly.But Zhuang Yi was not let go. He was surrounded by two or three people. Seeing that Zhuang Yi was beaten, Chu Zheng acted cruelly on impulse. One of the seniors who besieged Zhuang Yi was beaten into a concussion and hospitalized. Because of this incident, Chief of Staff Chu was given a small meeting and went to the hospital to visit him in person. After returning home, he gave Chu Daxia a severe beating and ordered him not to go to the army for training until he became an adult.

In boredom and pain, I survived another day of class.After school, I obeyed my mother's words and went home obediently.As soon as he entered the door, he saw that obedient brother sitting on the sofa watching TV with a bottle of Wahaha.

"Luo Luo, brother is back. Huh? You have your hair cut."

In the morning, the ear-length hair was cut three or four centimeters long, and it looked much fresher, and looked like a boy.Chu Zheng went up and touched his head, and Luo Nianli looked up at him.

"Call me brother."

"..."

"elder brother."

"Hey, good boy"

Luo Nianli continued to watch his TV, and Chu Zhengxun went inside to find his mother.His mother sat on the bed looking for things, and all kinds of documents were scattered on the bed.

"Mom, I'm back"

"Oh, go play with my brother for a while, I'll cook later"

His mother didn't even look up, and continued to search for something.Chu Zheng sat on the bed

"Mom, what are you looking for? Hey, you cut that little guy's head."

"Yeah, the boy needs to be refreshed. I'll take him to have his hair cut in the afternoon."

Chen Shufen was looking for something while talking to her son, without raising her head.Chu Zheng took out a small notebook and flipped through it, oh, it turned out to be his birth certificate.

"Mom, who is he? You brought him back so suddenly, which made me dizzy. Why don't you tell me if you want to adopt a child."

Chen Shufen put down the things in her hands and looked at her son.

"Luo Luo's family has something to do, so it's inconvenient to take care of him anymore. His father...his father was a soldier under your father's. A while ago, he died while patrolling the sea..."

His mother sighed when she said this, and Chu Zheng's heart tightened when he heard it.

"So, my dad adopted him, and he will live in our house from now on, right?"

"Yes, he will be your younger brother from now on. Your father and I will go through the adoption and transfer procedures, and we will be a family. Zheng'er, although I didn't discuss it with you in advance, it happened suddenly. Your father is so affectionate. It won't be ignored. We all think you won't have an opinion, don't you?"

Chu Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded, got up and went out without saying anything.He went to the living room and sat next to Luo Luo. The little one was staring at the TV with all his attention. Chu Zheng looked at the back of his head and felt sore in his heart. Last night he said that his father went to find his mother, so did he? ..poor little guy.That's right, it doesn't matter if you have multiple younger brothers. In this way, I will serve as a soldier in the future, and my parents will have someone to take care of them.Thinking like this, Chu Zheng stretched out his hand to touch Luo Luo's head, and the little boy looked back at him. Chu Zheng was moved by this look, and he took the little boy into his arms.

"Luo Luo, I will be your real brother from now on, no one can bully you"

Luo Nianli looked up at him, pursed his lips and nodded.
