The loud sound of the door opening made Wang Jianguo and Li Baocheng turn their heads to look at the door. When they saw Shi Lei, Wang Jianguo stood up, "Where did you go? You lost your farting skills."

Wang Jianguo, who was walking towards the door while yelling, had just finished speaking when Li Baocheng laughed loudly, "Your farts are long enough. You can fart for 10 to [-] minutes per fart. You have half more intestines than others."

Li Baocheng's words made Shi Lei smile lightly, and made Wang Jianguo who was walking towards the door turn around quickly, "Fuck you, you only have half the intestines than others, look at the top of the mountain." Li Baocheng rushed towards Li Baocheng with his big body, and with a howl, Li Baocheng, who collapsed laughingly on the lower berth, had no time to run and was crushed by Wang Jianguo.

Shi Lei, who walked into the room and closed the door gently, watched the proud Wang Jianguo turn over and sit on Li Baocheng singing, while Li Baocheng was struggling under Wang Jianguo's body. What he has never seen is something that Shi Lei, who was impacted by some hypocrisy in the society, thought about it for a long time.

Leaning on the railing next to the upper and lower bunks, watching the two people's madness, Shi Lei had an unconscious smile and softness in his eyes. This kind of softness made Wang Jianguo slightly startled when he turned his head, and even stopped the out-of-key song Now, others may not think there is anything wrong with Shi Lei's gentleness, but Wang Jianguo, who grew up with Shi Lei, knows that Shi Lei is a hedgehog, and the sharp thorns are not only a protective layer but also a weapon for his attack.

In Wang Jianguo's memory, even when facing his sick and weak aunt, Shi Lei was only unconditionally obedient and never had such gentleness. Wang Jianguo, who jumped off Li Baocheng, walked up to Shi Lei and sized him up and down with curiosity and doubts. After a careful look, Wang Jianguo didn't see anything except Shi Lei's cold eyes.

And it was precisely this indifferent look that made Wang Jianguo withdraw his doubts and nodded secretly. Is that right? Who is the stone?It is estimated that I am blinded by myself.

Wang Jianguo, who had just figured it out before he could speak, was staggered forward by Li Baocheng who rushed over, and his face hit the iron railing of the upper and lower bunks. I don’t mean to be stupid), brother’s jaw popped out of the bag.”

The Li Baocheng nickname that Wang Jianguo yelled made Shi Lei chuckle. Shi Lei, who was agitated by the two, pulled Li Baocheng off Wang Jianguo's back, and pulled Wang Jianguo, whose chin was still attached to the railing, and glanced at Wang Jianguo's face. There was an obvious red spot on the chin, which made Shi Lei separate the two, "Did the company commander say when the recruits will come?"

Shi Lei's sudden opening made Wang Jianguo and Li Baocheng stop wanting to continue fighting, and sat on the bunk with Shi Lei. Now there are only four people left in the dormitory of 16 people, except for Shi Lei, Wang Jianguo, Li Baocheng, and Zhang who is in the hospital. rich.

Li Baocheng shook his head, looked at Wang Jianguo, Wang Jianguo smiled proudly, "Who is brother, what is there in our battalion that I don't know? The recruits will come over after three months, but our company commander said that we need to select a batch Good seedling, don't go through the back door."

Shi Lei raised his eyebrows slightly. Shi Lei, who has been in this company for more than ten years, knows that every year when new recruits come, the company commander will go to the military sub-district headquarters to find the leader to moji, just to get good seedlings. They will be criticized, but they will make the company commander happy every time. After all, the tough [-]th company is also the face of the military division.

After stopping Wang Jianguo and Li Baocheng's fight, Shi Lei seldom opened his mouth, just sat aside and listened to the two gossip about some blurred memory, such as the instructor being scratched by his wife, the cooking squad leader Guo Guo, etc. The topic of going on a blind date, although a bit funny, also indirectly helped Shi Lei to relive his distant memories.

As he listened, Shi Lei's thoughts wandered again. He thought of his mother who was alone in his hometown, and thought of the big exam in June next year. For giving up taking the military school exam in his previous life, Shi Lei regretted countless times after he recovered and returned to his hometown. If he hadn't Give up the exam, then I don't have to go back to the place to face the hypocrisy I am not familiar with.

It's not that Shi Lei doesn't understand that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it's not that he doesn't know the fact that the army is often darker than the place, but Shi Lei is used to the army's way of doing things. Although Shi Lei doesn't have many friends here, he can even say that Very few, but the number of years in the army determines that Shi Lei will at least get the respect he deserves, but not in places, unless you are a real five or sixty-year-old old man.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei raised his head and glanced at Wang Jianguo. It was this good brother with a rough appearance but a delicate heart who won him a military career for more than ten years. It was also this good brother who was by his side when his mother died. The brother Shi Lei who grew up together has gratitude, although this gratitude has never been said.

Maybe it was because he thought of his mother again. After Shi Lei fell asleep, his dream was full of the scene of his mother's death. In fact, although he was about to face the fact that his mother was gone again, although his heartache was unavoidable, Shi Lei could accept it. For the mother who has been suffering from illness for nearly ten years, death is also a relief.

Shi Lei has always had the feeling that part of the tranquility of his mother's death was because he didn't want to make him sad, and part of it was because of the ease of finally being relieved. Since Shi Daqing's derailment and abandoning his wife and children, his mother not only endured the pressure from her heart, but also endured the pressure from her heart. Suffering from physical ailments and under double pressure, only Shi Lei knew how his mother showed her strength in the face of outsiders. It was the result of her tearful night after night.

Shi Lei doesn't understand how his mother feels about Shi Daqing, but from Shi Lei's point of view, Shi Lei hates it. After all, that man personally shattered his beautiful vision of his family, and it was also that man who made him suffer from outsiders' treatment of him when he was young. Pointing.

Perhaps it was because Shi Lei experienced the scene of his mother's death again in the dream, which made Shi Lei's mood a little unstable. Before five o'clock, Shi Lei opened his eyes, let out a long breath of sullen pressure on his chest, and in the darkness, Shi Lei sat up and leaned Sitting on the bedside, looking at the slanting light from the street lamp outside the window, listening to the familiar snoring, Shi Lei's heart slowly returned to calm, no matter what, he had to wait for the result first.

Perhaps because he was thinking about today's inspection results, Shi Lei felt a little anxious throughout the day. At seven o'clock in the evening, the call hadn't come back, so Shi Lei went straight to the duty room and called his second aunt again.

When the phone rang for a long time and someone finally picked it up, it was already 10:[-] in the evening, and there were only [-] minutes left before the lights were turned off. "Second Aunt, what happened?"

Just when someone picked up the phone, Shi Lei's anxious voice passed along the phone line, making the tired Li Yaping look even more ashamed, and she sat on the stool next to the phone weakly, her voice choked up, "Xiao Lei, there is a baby in your mother's womb. The tumor is very large, although I don't know whether it is benign or malignant, but the doctor said it is not very good."

Although it was the expected result, Shi Lei still felt a piercing pain. He closed his eyes, suppressing the sudden heat in his eyes when he heard the news, "Second Aunt, put my mother in the hospital first, and I will get it as soon as possible." Hurry back."

After hearing Li Yaping's promise, Shi Lei hung up the phone, stood motionless in the duty room, and tried to calm down the pain in his heart, "Shitou, something happened at home?" The concerned question in his ear made Shi Lei smile wryly and nodded. , "Who is on duty tonight?"

"Instructor." Xiao Zhang, who was on duty, vaguely guessed that Shi Lei's mother was ill, and patted Shi Lei's shoulder comfortingly, telling Shi Lei that the instructor Xiao Jianbin was on duty.

After Shi Lei reluctantly smiled at Xiao Zhang, he turned and left the duty room. His steps were a little eager. Shi Lei rushed to the instructor's office, knocked on the door and heard shouts from inside. Shi Lei pushed open the office door, I saw the instructor Xiao Jianbin sitting on the sofa and reading a magazine.

Shi Lei's sudden arrival made Xiao Jianbin a little surprised, after all, the lights were about to turn off, so it must be something to come here at this time, Xiao Jianbin stood up and called Shi Lei into the room, "Shi Lei, is there something wrong?"

Shi Lei nodded, "Instructor, I want to ask for leave, my mother is sick."

Shi Lei walked into the room and directly said his request without going around in circles. Xiao Jianbin was slightly taken aback, "Are you sick? Is it serious?"

Shi Lei pursed his lower lip slightly, and nodded, "I found a big tumor in the uterus, instructor, my mother only has me, I want to ask for leave."

Shi Lei didn't say what he knew, but said it with reservations, but what Shi Lei said still surprised Xiao Jianbin, he thought about the actual situation now, "Come over tomorrow morning, I'll discuss it with the company commander. "

Shi Lei nodded, thanked Xiao Jianbin, turned around and left the office, and walked slowly in the camp area. Shi Lei felt a burst of coldness and wrapped his military coat tightly around his body. Shi Lei's figure walking under the streetlight was a bit depressed, and he was about to face the parting of life and death again. , Shi Lei felt the powerlessness at the beginning again, and his steps became slower and slower. When he finally stopped, Shi Lei raised his head to look at the street lamp above his head, and his mother's pale and bloodless cheeks once again appeared in front of his eyes.

Slowly letting out a breath, Shi Lei's eyes flashed with forced helplessness, he raised his footsteps and went back to the dormitory. At this time, Wang Jianguo had already received a call from his mother. Looking at Shi Lei with a calm face, Wang Jianguo patted Shi Lei's face. Shoulder, "Stone, let's go back together tomorrow."

Shi Lei glanced at Wang Jianguo who was looking at him worriedly, nodded, and lay down on the bed all of a sudden, this kind of Shi Lei made Wang Jianguo not know what to say, rubbed his scalp a little irritably, walked back and forth in the room several times, Sitting next to Shi Lei irritably, "Shitou, it's fine, don't worry, Auntie is definitely fine."

Shi Lei just lay motionless on his stomach, pointing the back of his head at Wang Jianguo's face with a wry smile, and said nothing.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Shi Lei and Wang Jianguo rushed to the company commander Song Jun's office. At this time, Song Jun had already learned from Xiao Jianbin that Shi Lei was going to ask for leave. Seeing Shi Lei and Wang Jianguo walking into the office, Song Jun pointed Pointing to the bench opposite, "Sit down."

Shi Lei and Wang Jianguo sat across from Song Jun, and Song Jun looked at Shi Lei, "Shi Shi, how is your mother?"

Shi Lei shook his head, "It's not clear yet, yesterday's test result is not very good."

Song Jun nodded and glanced at Wang Jianguo, "You also want to ask for leave." Wang Jianguo nodded quickly, "Commander, you also know that Shi Lei's mother is my aunt, so please approve the leave note together."

Song Jun thought for a while, then shook his head, "Shi Lei's leave slip can be approved, but you can't. The company's veterans have left and the recruits haven't arrived yet, so the personnel can't be dismissed."

Wang Jianguo wanted to say something else, Shi Lei gently pulled Wang Jianguo's clothes, "Company commander, thank you."

Seeing the two people's small actions, Song Jun smiled, opened the drawer and took out the fake form, directly signed a ten-day vacation, and handed it to Shi Lei, "If the situation is not good, you need to extend the vacation and send a letter to the company."

After Shi Lei took the leave note and thanked him again, he dragged Wang Jianguo out of Song Jun's office. As soon as he left the office, Wang Jianguo shook off Shi Lei's grasping palm, "Why are you stopping me? You're just thinking about home."

Wang Jianguo's angry face and roar made Shi Lei frowned slightly, "I don't know what's going on now, why are you going back? If it's really bad, I'll call you and you're going back."

Although he knew that Shi Lei was telling the truth, Wang Jianguo was still unhappy. He hummed twice and quickly left. Seeing Wang Jianguo's angry back, Shi Lei sighed, raised his footsteps and left, and returned to the dormitory. Wang Jianguo didn't care about looking at him, just took out the luggage bag under the cabinet, quickly packed two changes of clothes, took out the money pressed under the cabinet and put it in his pocket, carrying the simple luggage, Shi Lei Just ready to leave.

Wang Jianguo, who hadn't gotten any attention all this time, looked at Shi Lei carrying his luggage and was about to leave, but couldn't care less about showing his temper. He rushed to Shi Lei's side in a flash. Wang Jianguo, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Shi Lei's cry made Wang Jianguo's stern face relax instantly, and he stretched out his big hand to press Shi Lei's shoulder, "Shi Lei, call me if you have something to do, I will ask for leave immediately and go back."

Shi Lei nodded, expressing his understanding, "Brother, I'm leaving to catch the nine o'clock bus." After speaking, he pulled Wang Jianguo's arm and quickly left the camp with his luggage.

Transportation vehicles, long-distance buses, and taxis, Shi Lei rushed back to his hometown D City at [-]:[-] p.m. When he got off the taxi and stood at the entrance of the inpatient department of the Oilfield General Hospital, he thought of the mood and emotion of seeing his mother Shi Lei who had been away for more than ten years. It was so complicated that it took a while to walk into the hospital with significantly heavier steps.
