journey

Chu Zheng was lying on the desk doing his homework desperately. His mother put Xiao Luoluo under the bed like last night, and poured a cup of hot milk for Chu Zheng. Chu Zheng cheered again with a face of reluctance. .Chen Shufen patted Chu Zheng's head, said to go to bed early, and went out with an empty cup.Chu Zheng looked back at Luo Nianli who was under the blanket, the little Luoluo closed his eyes tightly and tried hard to fall asleep.After hearing those words in the afternoon, Chu Zheng felt heavy in his heart, took a deep breath, and continued to do his homework.

Half an hour later, Chu Zheng suddenly heard soft sobbing behind him, he turned his head and took a look, got up and ran to the bed.I saw Xiao Luoluo buried his whole head in the quilt, and the sound of sobbing came out from under the quilt.

"Luo Luo, Luo Luo, what's wrong?"

Chu Zheng gently pulled down the quilt, and slowly Luo Nianli's little head was exposed.The little guy had tears all over his face, holding back his voice and not daring to cry out.Seeing this crying made Chu Zheng's heart tremble, he hurriedly got under the bed, put his arms under Luo Nianli's head, and hugged him.

"What's wrong with you? Have a nightmare?"

Luo Nianli sobbed deeply and said;

"Grandpa...I miss Grandpa..."

Chu Zheng froze for a moment when he heard this.It turned out to be homesick.Chu Zheng scratched his head with one hand, what to do.It is still very difficult for him to coax the child, why don't he call his mother?Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Xiao Luoluo turned around, buried his head in his arms, took two deep breaths, and gradually the sobbing sound became smaller and smaller.Chu Zheng didn't dare to move, he just lay on his side, and fell asleep after a while.

Early in the morning, Chu Zhengfeng washed and dressed and had breakfast.Seeing him devouring the noodles, his mother couldn't help asking:

"Why did you wake up so early today, where is Luo Luo? Why did you sleep with the lights on last night?"

Chu Zheng chewed the noodles in his mouth

"He's still sleeping. I have something urgent at school today. Hey. By the way. Mom, the little one was homesick yesterday and cried all night."

When Chen Shufen heard this, she wiped her hand on the apron, not knowing what was going on in her mind.Chu Zheng rushed to school to make up his homework, and fell asleep just like that last night, and he hadn't finished his homework yet.Regardless of what his mother thought, she swept again, finished eating the noodles in the bowl, and ran back to the house to get her schoolbag.As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Luoluo sitting on the bed with swollen eyes.He took the schoolbag and ran to the bedside, kissed Luo Nianli's little face

"Little boy, get up and eat quickly, brother is going to school."

After finishing speaking, he went out in a hurry, went downstairs and unlocked the car.Riding to the gate of the courtyard, I saw Zhuang Yi riding a bicycle from a distance.

"Why are you so early today, you have insomnia."

This was the first time that Chu Zheng stood here early before Zhuang Yi arrived.

"There is something urgent today, so go to school first."

After all, he got on the car and ran to school.Zhuang Yi looked confused, so he also got on the car and chased after him.

Sitting at the desk, Chu Zheng hurriedly took out the homework from last night,

"Zhuang Yi, quickly take out your math and English homework and copy it for me."

"What? Don't you really look down on copying homework?"

"Today is special, I can't finish writing without copying"

"You can't finish writing, haven't you stopped writing all the time, today is the sun coming out from the west"

While talking, Zhuang Yi took out his homework book and handed it to Chu Zheng. Chu Zheng quickly opened it and copied it desperately, while Zhuang Yi looked at it strangely.

"My parents have been angry for the past two days. If you don't do your homework and you are charged again, you may never see me again."

Chu Zheng was talking, and his subordinates didn't stop at all.

"Then why did you go last night?" Zhuang Yi asked.

"Oh, I'll tell you when I finish writing."

So, with the efforts of Chu Zheng who got up actively and brushed hard, he finally handed in the homework smoothly.

During class, Chu Zheng put his head on the desk with a dejected expression, Zhuang Yi looked at him

"Tell me, what did you do last night?" Zhuang Yi asked.

"Oh... isn't there a baby in our house, I was homesick when I went to bed last night, and cried all night in my arms"

In fact, Luo Luo just cried for a while, he insisted on talking all night, he just wanted to find a suitable reason for himself to fall asleep.Zhuang Yi was a little curious after hearing this.He thought for a moment and said

"What's the matter with this kid, will he really live in your house from now on?"

Hearing this, Chu Zheng sat up straight and told Zhuang Yi about Luo Nianli.After Zhuang Yi heard it, he was also a little moved.

"It's so pitiful... Tomorrow Saturday, I'll go to your house to play with you. I really want to meet your brother." Zhuang Yi said.

"Okay, come on, it happens that we are going to climb the mountain this afternoon."

"Okay, then I'll be there tomorrow morning."

Back home from school, Zhuang Yi's sister also came back.Zhuang Yi has a biological sister named Zhuang Qi.Both his siblings were named after his grandfather.It is said that Zhuang Yi's grandfather loved chess like an idiot. In the troubled times of war, his grandfather could sit on the stone steps and draw a chess game with stones.Later he joined the army, and it is said that everyone in the cooking class knew that his grandfather loved to play chess.Zhuang Yi has a sister not because his parents don't support national policies, but because Zhuang Yi's sister had a serious illness when she was a child, and her parents gave birth to Zhuang Yi again in order to save her.Of course, no one is very clear about the specifics. After all, this is not very fair to Zhuang Yi, and his parents never mention it, but Zhuang Yi probably knows about it, because there are many gossips in the compound, and the family is short-lived. He has heard a lot, but Zhuang Yi is very sensible, he knows what he should not ask, and it is better not to know some things.

His sister also entered high school this semester, chose to live on campus, and came back once a week or two. Today is Friday, and his sister came back by bus after school.Zhuang Yi's mother cooked a table of dishes, and the family of four ate dinner happily.Zhuang Yi took a bite of food and asked his father:

"Dad, a child came to Chu Zheng's family, have you heard about it?"

Zhuang Yi felt that based on the relationship between his two families, his father should know something.After hearing what his son said, Zhuang Haisheng glanced at Zhuang Yi's mother, took a piece of food with chopsticks, and said:

"Well, I know something about it."

"Hey, what's going on with that kid's family? Why was he adopted by Uncle Chu?" Zhuang Yi became very energetic when he heard that his father knew about it.

"Ah? Uncle Chu adopted a child? Then Chu Zheng will be an older brother. His naughty bastard can still be an older brother."

Zhuang Qi listened to the conversation between his father and younger brother, and interrupted with a smile.

"Children, don't ask these questions. When you see that child in the future, treat him like Chu Zheng's younger brother. Just treat him well."

Zhuang Haisheng said to his son.Hearing this, Zhuang Yi felt displeased. It's okay to treat him well, so he has to know the reason.

"Dad, why do you still treat me like a child? Don't you always say that I am grown up and sensible? I won't talk nonsense, so just tell me. We also have to know the origin of that child so that we can be good." To people."

His father heard Zhuang Yi's words, thought about it, and thought it was not a big deal, so he selected some information and simply told Zhuang Yi.

"This child seems to be surnamed Luo. His mother died young, and his father was in the army all year round. He grew up with his grandfather in the countryside. The family was relatively difficult, and he didn't go to school well. A while ago, during a patrol in the South China Sea, he encountered a smuggling ship. We opened fire, and we injured 3 people and sacrificed 2 people, including his father. His grandfather knew that his father was gone, and he fell seriously ill all of a sudden. He was probably not very optimistic, so he asked someone to tell the army about it. After you, Uncle Chu, found out about this, he asked someone to bring the child in, saying that he was going to adopt him. Sigh...you are also a poor child."

After Zhuang Haisheng finished speaking, he sighed.Zhuang Yi didn't say anything after hearing this, and felt a little sour in his heart.

"Uncle Chu is really a good man with a kind heart. There will be rewards."

Zhuang Qi said something with his chopsticks in his mouth.Probably because Luo Nianli's life experience was too pitiful, after his father finished talking, no one said anything, and ate dinner in silence.

Early the next morning, Zhuang Yi ran to Chu Zheng's house with a bag of oranges and two boards of Wahaha.Chen Shufen opened the door and saw that Zhuang Yi was still carrying something, and said:

"You child, you come to play every day, how come you still learn to carry things?"

Zhuang Yi smiled at Chen Shufen

"Hello, auntie, it's not that I heard that my little brother has come to the house. These are for my little brother to eat."

Chen Shufen patted Zhuang Yi's back with a smile

"When Zheng'er is as sensible as you, I can save a few years from worshiping Buddha. Come in, they are playing in the bedroom."

Zhuang Yi responded and went into the bedroom.Chu Zheng was holding the tank model and his brother's offensive and defensive questions, when he heard the sound, he raised his head

"Hey, here we come. Come, come, let me introduce you. This little cutie is my younger brother, Luo Nianli. Luo Luo, this is my brother's peerless veteran. Zhuang Yi, you want to be called Brother Zhuang Yi, do you understand?" .”

Zhuang Yi looked at Luo Nianli who was sitting on the bed, he was really white and tender, well-behaved and cute.Luo Nianli also looked up at Zhuang Yi, showing no special expression, but seemed to be smiling slightly.Zhuang Yi moved the stool and sat down, and smiled sweetly at Luo Nianli.

"Hello, Luo Luo, I'm your brother's good friend, from now on you can just call me brother Zhuang Yi."

Luo Nianli nodded after listening to Zhuang Yi's words.Chu Zheng touched two more ambush soldiers to Zhuang Yi, and continued his military drill explanation.

We had dinner at Chu Zheng's house at noon, and in the afternoon, the two of them took the bus to the suburbs to climb mountains.Once he arrived in the suburbs, Chu Zheng was like a stiff wild horse, and he had to fight his way up a mountain. Only Zhuang Yi and him grew up to endure his torment.The top of the mountain is an enclosed signal tower, and there is a large open space in front of it. The two sit side by side on the stone in the open space.

"Wow, it's so refreshing to sweat."

Chu Zheng stretched his arms and said.Zhuang Yi looked at him and smiled,

"I don't know you yet. If I don't go out for two days, I'm going to die."

Chu Zheng turned his head to look at Zhuang Yi, raised his arms to embrace him, and put his hands on his shoulders

"It's you, really. I can't play with others, and I feel very at ease when you are here. I really don't know how lonely I will be without you in the future."

Zhuang Yi laughed when he heard this.

"Why did you lose me?"

"Because brother is going to be a soldier, aren't you not interested in being a soldier?"

"Not being interested doesn't mean I won't go to the army, and I don't have anything in particular to do."

Zhuang Yi said so.Chu Zheng glanced at him, took his hand back, and looked into the distance.Looking at it from this angle, although the mountain is just a slope and not very high, it is relatively close to the city, so it has a clear view of the city.Zhuang Yi also watched quietly for a while, then thought about it, and told Chu Zheng everything his father said at the dinner table last night.After Chu Zheng listened, he didn't say a word for a while, but just looked straight ahead.

"Hey, do you really accept Luo Luo's arrival? Although his family's affairs are pitiful, your parents will be distracted by such a younger brother out of thin air. I'm worried that you will be reluctant."

Zhuang Yi asked.Chu Zheng thought for a while and said:

"There is nothing unacceptable. It was true that he was quite sudden at first. But he is still very obedient and doesn't make trouble. I think that when I go to the army in the future, my family will not be able to take care of me. In this way, I have a younger brother. In the future There is also a care at home. It is also very good."

Zhuang Yi looked at Chu Zheng and felt that he was not forcing himself to say this, so he felt relieved.Think about it, Chu Zheng's sense of justice has really won his father's true biography, and the chief of staff of Chu is also well-known in the military region for his kindness and justice. Will ignore things that need help.Although Chu Zheng doesn't have that much ability now, he grew up with him, and Zhuang Yi can't understand his temperament very well.He looked at Chu Zheng's side face looking into the distance, with a straight nose and distinctive features, quite handsome.Suddenly there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, Zhuang Yi shook his head, feeling inexplicable.Chu Zheng turned to look at him,

"What's the matter, let's go. Go down the mountain to the night market and go back."

After all, he got up and jumped, and threw his clothes on.Zhuang Yi also stood up

"Okay, let's go."
