"Little skinny monkey, break down! Poor and sour, no friends! On the side of the road, several children with school bags gathered around a thin boy, singing songs and making fun of them.

The thin little boy in the middle didn't say a word, just lowered his head and walked silently in the direction of his house.

He was very used to this kind of thing, anyway, he was a child of a poor family, without fancy clothes, and there was nothing to show off.

He didn't excel in his studies, he was only in the middle of his class. The teacher won't take special care of him, and the other children don't like such an obscure little transparent very much.

"Your dad is a piece of trash! It's a cripple who can't even button himself! A boy in expensive children's clothes suddenly approached the thin boy and pushed him to the ground.

"Oh!" The surrounding children scattered, laughing and disappearing into the street intersection, leaving only the boy who had fallen and sat on the side of the road, got up from the ground and clapped his hands as usual.

A little sad and numb, he looked down at his old pants and saw that there was a bit of dust on them, so he patted them lightly with his hand.

Then he continued on his way, silently returning to his home. He put down his school bag, took out the elementary school homework that was even more difficult to understand ten years ago, spread it on the table and began to write his homework.

Although he was already very diligent, these problems still gave him some headaches. Completing these homework every day has become something he has to do and has become accustomed to.

Soon, the sound of the door opening was heard, and a middle-aged man in shabby clothes, but very clean, walked in.

He slipped the key into his pocket before turning back and closing the door. The man took off his shoes at the door, bent down and put them in the shoe cabinet, and then changed into slippers and walked over to the boy.

He touched the child's head with his doting hand, looked down at the child's homework for a few seconds, and then walked to the hanger.

Also compared to ten years ago, this home is really more like a home, there are a lot of furniture in the house, shoe cabinets, hangers, wardrobes, large beds, bright windows, and a lot of household appliances.

It's not as prosperous as the wealthy people in Seris, but it's already very good, with the hum of the refrigerator, the reflection of the TV on the wall, and the brand new computer in the corner...... It's really good here!

"I want to eat something in the evening." The man asked the little boy who was sitting at the dinner table doing his homework while taking off his clothes.

The little boy sat there and didn't speak, he sometimes really hated his father, a father who had disappeared for a long time and was so useless when he came back.

The man didn't speak, he was slightly stunned, and then continued to unbutton his chest. He struggled a little when he undressed, because his other sleeve was empty and hung unnaturally there.

"At school? Another kid bullying you? After some effort, the man hung his coat on the hanger and looked at his child with some apologies.

The child still didn't speak, just kept his head down and wrote his homework. There was some quiet in the room, and the silence was a little poignant.

The man walked over and touched his child's head again: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, you can come back and talk to your mother." ”

A few minutes later, the hostess, who had been off work at about a certain time, returned, and the door rang again, and an ordinary woman carrying vegetables opened the door.

She hurried into the house and threw the vegetables on the dining table: "I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”

"Our unit has recently changed personnel, and a couple of bitches and I are fighting for that damn position...... But it doesn't matter, I'm the best in the business. The woman nagged and touched her son's head, which was also doting.

She walked into the kitchen chattering, saw the man cleaning up there, snatched the spatula, and kicked the man out: "Go and see the child's homework, I'll come here...... I don't know what's wrong, didn't it mean that everything went well in the war in the Demon Realm? I suddenly have more orders here, is there any variable? ”

"What variables can there be?" The man sat back on the sofa and looked at the child doing his homework: "Look up! Do you want your eyes anymore? ”

After a pause, he continued: "You know, the unit I work for now is the City Hall, a small clerk, and I haven't heard anything about the war. ”

"But I've heard from my former comrades-in-arms that the army seems to be preparing to recruit more veterans and give more." After saying this, the room was long and dull.

"You should have had a big retirement allowance...... But you're going to mail the money to your fallen comrades! The woman's voice was a little choked: "Now our family is not rich, but you can't be a soldier anymore." ”

The ......man didn't speak, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but the child was at home, and he really didn't want to take out the cigarette in front of the child.

The subsidy, which was enough for them to buy a house, was mailed by him to a widow far away. The poor woman lost her husband at the age of 23 - that was a very cheerful young man.

The young man would write letters to his family every day, and every day he would brag to his comrades about how gentle and virtuous his wife was.

The lad would give him his cigarettes because the lad didn't smoke himself. So the two became friends, and after they met, they agreed to take the bonus from retirement to buy a house together and be good friends with their neighbors.

It's a pity that in the bloody battle of Angchar, they were hit by the demon's "missile", and the young man pounced on him at the last moment, proving the friendship between them with his actual actions.

In that damn fight, or rather in that damn explosion, he lost his best friend, and an arm of his own.

In the kitchen, the sound of a woman chopping vegetables was heard, and she didn't poke the man's wound again. She even tolerated the man's willfulness and acquiesced in his mailing of a large sum of money to a widow far away.

Many times, he and she thought that if they had left that money, their lives might be completely different now.

After all, that amount of money is not a small amount of money in their case. He also regretted that he had given away the money so hastily. Every time he looked at his child, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

That's why he talked about the re-recruitment of veterans by the army at such a time, and he felt that he owed this family and a lot of ......
