After This Battle, Go Home and Get Married - Chapter 26
Yan Xueshan has never specifically chosen a partner. He has always accepted whoever is assigned by the army.
Moreover, as his service time became longer and more and more partners died, there would be other teachers, secretly or implicitly, who would say that his life was tough and that he would not be a partner.
He thought it was because no melee fighters dared to partner with him, so he gave him a silly, hairy boy.
Yan Xueshan pondered for a moment.
Also just for a moment.
Forget it, don’t think about it, it doesn’t matter.
Arthur saw that he thought for a while, then raised his head, waiting for Yan Xueshan to ask questions, and was planning to tease him.
But I heard Yan Xueshan say: “When we were partners, I never heard you talk about your sister. You and her must be very good siblings, right?”
Arthur was stunned, his heart suddenly sour and soft.
That’s the kind of person he likes. Everyone said that Yan Xueshan was cold and incomprehensible, but only he knew how gentle Yan Xueshan was.
It has nothing to do with mental disorders, and does not need to be deliberately created, the tenderness revealed from his soul.
Arthur pretended to talk about the past in a plain way: “It’s okay, in fact, my sister and I really can’t say how much better.”
“When I was very young, maybe three or four years old, I liked to play with her buttocks, and children like to play with older children. She is not a ladylike girl, and she disliked me especially, only when she wanted to direct me Be nice to me when you run errands for her.”
“She likes to make me cry for fun, always scare me, and often fights with me for grabbing things and watching TV.”
“She would secretly peel things she didn’t like into my bowl while eating, and she would always lie to me for snacks.”
“Later, when I was a teenager, I had my own friends. I went out with my classmates, played football, played baseball, and came home in mud. Every time I was scolded by her.”
“In our family, when I was rebellious, I didn’t even dare to listen to my dad, and I wasn’t afraid of him at all. I was afraid of my sister.”
“But she is different from me. She is better than my father. She is the eldest daughter in the family. When she was born, her mother was sick, and her father took her to take care of her. She even got a cradle in the mecha training room. I just stood up with the fence, and when I saw the mech movement, my little **** squatted and giggled.”
Having said this, Arthur also laughed: “She has been a mecha fan since she was a child. She is always pulling me and forcing me to listen to the information she has collected, which is annoying.”
Yan Xueshan listened quietly, without showing that kind of pity and pitiful eyes, just as a bystander, listening carefully without any attitude.
Seeing him stop, he asked at the right time, “What about later?”
Arthur continued:
“Mom actually doesn’t want me or my sister to join the army, she just wants us to stay in a safe place in our hometown and grow up safely, and never expects us to inherit our father’s business.”
“My sister went against her will to sign up without permission, and only informed her the day before her departure. She went to her father and asked him to use the presidential privilege to cancel her quota, but her father refused, and they had a big fight. “
Yan Xueshan remembered it, because it was a long time ago, so it was more difficult to recall.
It was probably the day he graduated. I did hear that there was a very powerful teacher, a talented girl who was born out of nowhere. Unfortunately, she was like a shooting star and fell before it was completely burned.
She was strangled when she was still a rookie.
Yan Xueshan could not guarantee that if he had encountered several terrible encirclements and suppressions when he first served, he would have been able to escape successfully. No, it was very likely that he would fail.
Therefore, he doesn’t think how powerful he is. There are definitely people who are more powerful than him among the dead soldiers. He is only highlighted by the survivor effect.
If others can survive, they must be more legendary than him.
For example, when his adoptive father took him to play with a sniper rifle for the first time, he taught him the essentials, but he missed two shots after three shots, and only one shot, which was still on the side.
However, the adoptive father rubbed his head and praised him happily: “My Xiaoxue is so powerful that he can hit him with the first shot. Our Xiaoxue may be a genius.”
He believed it to be true and thought he was really powerful, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was just to coax children.
He doesn’t think he’s talented.
It’s just that because of his illness, he can be calmer than others, and he trains harder because of survival.
Yan Xueshan remembered what happened when he heard the news of his adoptive father’s death.
He was still in high school at the time, and it was time to think about where to go.
When his adoptive father communicated with him, he said: “I will discuss it with you when I have a vacation next time. I have already researched several schools for you, and then we will pick the one you like. You don’t have to worry about tuition fees, you can just pass the test. Go read, I can always get money. Hahaha.”
That was the last time they spoke.
Arthur also happened to say a similar passage: “The last time I chatted with my sister, we even had a fight. She took the latest headphones I bought, and I asked her to return it to me, and she borrowed it with a smile on her face. , next time.”
“Later, I sorted her relics and buried her, and put the pair of headphones in together.”
“It was stupid when I was young, I couldn’t imagine a day when a lot of things would come to an end. If I could do it again, I would definitely not argue with her, but say to her: ‘Okay, sister, if you like it, I will sent to you.’”
“It was years before I thought, if I could see her soul, she wouldn’t be depressed.”
Arthur imagined and said with a bit of a smile, “Now that I’m older than her, maybe she’ll be proud to say to me: Look, your sister, I’ll always be young and beautiful.”
Yan Xueshan said, “She’s really an interesting person. It would be nice if I could meet her once.”
Arthur nodded: “Well, she must like you too.”
In the end, Arthur said: “As I said, I didn’t learn mecha out of love at first. At that time I was just a child who knew nothing about the sky and was blinded by hatred. Until later, when I saw your operation, I For the first time, I felt that driving a mech can be so pleasing to the eye, like another art of fighting.”
“Now, I can say that I love being a teacher.”
Probably because of talking about the past.
Yan Xueshan also remembered that he had several relics of his adoptive father by his side.
The first thing Yan Xueshan did when he moved to the farm was not to be busy farming, but to move the ashes of his adoptive father from the cemetery.
He built a new tomb on a hillside with the best scenery on the farm, and planted a banyan tree next to it, which can protect his tombstone from the wind and rain when he grows up.
He remembered it was in the study.
Yan Xueshan dug out his adoptive father’s diary when he was in service. He had read it before, but it was more than ten years ago.
The inner pages are yellowed and worn out, and you have to be careful when turning them over for fear of breaking them.
Just light a lamp.
Sitting in the fog of lights, he read this notebook, not only the data, but also a small stick figure in the corner of each page. It is very interesting to draw at random, and he will also write about what happened that day. emotion.
Yan Xueshan couldn’t help but read page by page until the last page.
stop.
On the last page, the adoptive father wrote a sentence with a strong and gentle style:
【To my son Yan Xueshan】
【Fame is not a plant growing on mortal soil①, you are not mortal soil, whether you like it or not. 】
the next day.
Yan Xueshan contacted Arthur so that Arthur could reply to Dr. Brandon.
He accepts a part-time job as a mech test pilot.
