Fireworks, didn't you always say that you wanted to see Brother Xu Le?"

At the dining table, Mrs. Zhong looked at her daughter gently and said softly. She felt very puzzled by her daughter's silence today, although in the past two years, it is true that she has rarely heard the words Brother Xu Le from her daughter's mouth, but even if it is an ordinary etiquette for entertaining guests, it should not be so impolite.

"Hmm. Zhong Yanhua held the long chopsticks in his small hands, and worked hard to shave the Changyang fragrant rice in the bowl, and the tip of his cute and straight little nose snorted, but he still ignored Xu Le, who was a little embarrassed on the other side of the table.

Mrs. Zhong looked at Xu Le helplessly and smiled apologetically, and had no choice but to let her daughter go, after all, they were adults, and they would not take this matter seriously, so they naturally changed the topic.

Tian Fatzi had a delicate feeling that was completely opposite to his body shape when eating, chewing slowly, holding gently, and his fingers brushed the tableware on the table like an orchid. He took a sip of red wine, put down his glass, patted Xu Le's shoulder beside him with a smile, and said, "I heard that you cleaned up Du Shaoqing." ”

"Uh...... War game. Xu Le was a little uncomfortable with the other party's very direct enthusiasm, and Ne replied.

"I mean, on the playground, when that kid was about to race, you blocked him back. Tian Fatzi smiled and said loudly: "Very good, I appreciate you very much!"

Xu Le was helpless, thinking that he used his furiousness to suppress the iron-blooded Du Shaoqing, and he still learned the means from the tiger in Xilin.

"But it's a pity that it's not direct enough, you should learn from me, a few years ago, I directly beat this ice and snow demon into an ice and snow pig demon......" Tian Fatzi thought about the past, and sighed leisurely.

Hear the terms Iceman and Pig Demon. reminiscent of Du Shaoqing's image of an exemplary officer. Xu Le finally forgot that the little watermelon made him sadly indifferent. I almost laughed out loud. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the round hand on his shoulder, which looked like a fat steamed bun. Mutant orchid as cute fat fingers. The smile turned into a faint fear - if this Tian Fat Man launched a rush to a Master Du, he was afraid that he would really have to suffer a lot.

"And as a result, you've been locked up in a little dark room for three months. The military position was taken captive to the end. When he was discharged from the army, he could only be a colonel. ”

Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head when she thought of those things before. But his cheeks were stained with unnaturally complicated emotions.

Listening to these romantic characters, he suddenly thought of it. The tiger in Xilin suppressed Du Shaoqing and his Seventh Division for several years. Tian Fatzi's shot back then may also have something to do with it. The relationship between the Zhong family and Du Shaoqing. Everyone knows that it is very bad. He made Du Shaoqing suffer in the exercise. Could it be because of this. Will Commander Xilin Zhong have an appreciation for himself for no reason?

That's when I thought about it. The middle-aged housekeeper who welcomed Xu Le into the villa walked over, and the dishes had already been distributed. There are naturally different reasons for her appearance. Mrs. Zhong listened quietly. Take off the napkin and stand up to greet Xu Le. Walk into the side office on the first floor.

"Today is the Autumn Festival. I guess it's a head-to-head phone. Tian Fatzi explained with a smile. There was a flash of concern between his eyebrows, and it was a home phone. It stands to reason that the sister-in-law should go over with the fireworks.

Xu Le couldn't think of this, in his opinion, Commander Zhong guarded the front line for the Federation, and reunited with his family because of the continuous conflict with the empire, and it was normal to talk to his family on the phone during today's festive season, he just thought that today was the New Year's Autumn, but it was very rare for Mrs. Zhong to invite herself as a guest.

Who knew that after a while, the door of the side office opened, and the fat man also left the restaurant, and it seemed that Commander Zhong and he also had something to say.

At this time, in the restaurant, only Xu Le and Zhong Yanhua were left.

......

......

If it was before entering the villa, Xu Le would not resist being alone with the little girl, he didn't hate to be afraid of children, not to mention that the person he was most familiar with and most worried about was the little watermelon...... I just want to come and see her, and ask the little girl if she has been doing well in the past few years, how her studies are, and whether she still doesn't like to eat as much as before.

However, the silent resistance of a meal, and the unconcealed indifference and pride on the face of the little daughter of the Zhong family, made Xu Le's big heart feel a little uncomfortable and sad. Although he can comfort himself, she is only a child after all, but this huge gap between self-perception and reality still makes him feel embarrassed and lost.

There was silence at the table, Xu Le didn't know what to say to the little girl on the other side of the table, he felt a little funny and sad, absolutely quiet, as if he was angry with an eight-year-old girl.

So he had no choice but to bow his head and concentrate on dealing with the delicious food on the plate, cutting seven ripe bison meat with a silver knife, but he thought in his heart that three years ago, on the ancient bell spaceship, he had said to the little watermelon that he would take her to eat real meat in the future......

Suddenly, Xu Le felt as if someone was looking at him, and the mysterious power in his body made him have already developed a sensitive qi reaction to the visits around him, he slowly stopped the sliding of the silver knife in his hand, and raised his head vigilantly.

So he saw Zhong Yanhua's children's extremely serious and clear eyes.

On that cute and delicate face, there was no longer the indifference that had just deliberately put on to reject people thousands of miles away, there was only the curiosity of a little girl, and the eyes that were opening bigger and bigger.

Xu Le's small eyes

couldn't help but widen his eyes, I don't know why the little watermelon is looking at L like this

Neither of them spoke, just staring at each other inexplicably on either side of the quiet table.

As if he was about to stare at it like this, Zhong Yanhua's extremely clean eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cuteness and cunning unique to children.

It seemed to have taken a long, long time for the little girl to connect the young officer across the table with the vague but unusually affectionate face of three years ago, or perhaps she had already identified who the person across the table was, but was only in disguise.

But in short, it was indifferent until this time, and the little girl smiled sweetly, laughed endlessly, and called softly: "Brother Xu Le." ”

......

......

The voice was very clear and crisp, like the dew on a small white flower that had just grown in the ground, moistening the young throat. This title, which he hadn't heard for a long time, accompanied by a crisp and moving children's voice, touched Xu Le's eardrums and touched his heart.

He looked at the girl across the dining table in amazement, with her black hair cut in a straight line, swaying mischievously, as if he had returned to the simple cabin of the spaceship three years ago, and he was still bathing and washing her hair with a towel, but he didn't react for a while.

"Brother Xu Le. Zhong Yanhua frowned cutely, very serious: shouted again.

Xu Le finally reversed, although he didn't understand that the little watermelon had to pretend to be a stranger to him before, but when he was shouted by these two crisp brothers, his heart that was not old and decrepit suddenly became gentle, and he smiled and narrowed his eyes into a crooked moon, just like the two eyebrows in the night sky of S1.

"Take me out. Zhong Yanhua looked at him seriously across the table, pursed his lips vigorously, and played a lovely role of firmness and persistence.

......

......

When the two of them met in the starlight, the little girl blurted out: Protect me.

Xu Le looked at the little girl on the other side of the table in a daze and understood something, such as why in front of Mrs. Zhong and Uncle Tian, the little watermelon kept indifferent to herself, without a trace of enthusiasm at all, as if she had completely forgotten what happened back then...... O Almighty Creator, after three years, this child is already eight years old, and he still has not gotten rid of the bad habits of the family!

No matter how thick the nerves in Xu Le's body were, it was difficult to resist this sudden impact, and he was able to contact the brilliance of the charter, and his brain, which had put down countless structural drawings, was about to explode. There was a crunch and it slammed under the table.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Zhong and Tian Fatzi ended the call with Xilin, and walked out of the office with a solemn expression, just in time to see this scene.

The elders came to the scene, and Zhong Yanhua's children replied with a faint look of indifference and pride, and gently scooped the thick soup in the bowl in front of them, like an impolite daughter of a family.

"Nothing. Xu Le couldn't bear to expose Xiao Watermelon's plan to let her be trained, and said with a wry smile, but in fact, at this time, his mood was much better than before, at least he knew that Little Watermelon had not forgotten himself, and ...... I still trust myself as much as before, and even this kind of big thing is only trusted by myself.

......

......

Xu Le naturally didn't take the little watermelon to the house, he just took advantage of Mrs. Zhong's inattention, quietly shook his head helplessly at the little girl, and then left his personal contact information on the Internet.

Zhong Yanhua sat on the sofa with an indifferent face, completely unenergetic, and after saying a word to her mother, she went up the stairs, but before entering the house, she turned around and glared at Xu Le with endless anger, but the anger of the little girl, no matter how you look at it, it looks extremely cute.

When Mrs. Zhong sent Xu Le out of the gate, she said a few words apologetically, and after a moment of silence, she said: "I received the news just now, the Joint Chiefs of Staff has decided that Du Shaoqing's Iron Seventh Division will enter Xilin. ”

Xu Le's heart was shocked, and only then did he know why the true content of the previous phone call was.

......

......

The summoned taxi stopped on the side of the villa, Xu Le refused Mrs. Zhong's proposal to send a car to him in advance, and sat in the co-pilot's seat after saying goodbye.

Thinking of the two cute looks of the little watermelon man on the table before, Xu Le couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't understand why the little watermelon was so young, but he always wanted to leave his family, although Commander Zhong was rarely with his daughter, but it was obvious that Mrs. Zhong was a pretty good mother.

Maybe it's because of loneliness, right? Xu Le looked at the mottled and messy autumn leaves outside the window, remembered Tai Zhiyuan in District 1, and thought of Zou Yu, the children of the family are actually not having a good time, and thought that if they can come back alive from the front line in the future, they will spend more time with this child.

At this moment, he heard some noise in the back seat, and looked back vigilantly, only to see that the chairs in the back row had been pushed over, and a little girl in a blue student uniform was coming out with a dusty face.

Zhong Yanhua's children climbed to the seat and sat down with great difficulty, looked at Xu Le Gege in front of him and smiled, and said, "Brother Xu Le, I'm here." ”

Xu Le's expression froze, and the crisp children's voice sounded like thunder in his ears.

......

......

(I'm done, go to bed...... It's just that you really don't have a monthly pass in your hands? Look at the rally, it's really like being struck by lightning, and I sincerely greet you with a ticket, thank you very much. ）
