Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 380 is here
Like everyone else, Li Jin can't influence other people's thoughts. People always have a fluke mentality, thinking that it won't be their turn, so they would rather watch than resist.

It was getting late, and after the sun had completely set, darkness came again.

Around ten o'clock, Li Jin and Liu Changshun came to the woods about a mile away from Liujia Village.

"It's so late, don't bother me, let's go tomorrow." Li Jin said.

At ten o'clock, most of the villagers have already gone to bed. In this era without mobile phones, many people go to bed early.

"Well, good." Liu Changshun nodded. Although he really wanted to go home, he didn't want to disturb his parents' rest at this time.

The two just slept in the woods all night, and they didn't wake up until six o'clock the next morning.

Liu Changshun couldn't bear it any longer, so he ate up the dry food he brought with him in two or three bites.

"Company commander, eat faster." Liu Changshun urged.

"Let's go, let's eat while walking." Li Jin could imagine Liu Changshun's current mood, and he felt like returning home.

A few minutes later, the two walked to the entrance of the village. Many villagers had already got up and went out to do farm work with hoes on their shoulders.

Many villagers looked at Li Jin and Liu Changshun with some doubts. They hadn't seen outsiders in the village for a long time, but they didn't care so much. It was probably their relatives, so they might as well go to work earlier.

"Here, it doesn't seem to have changed much." Li Jin looked at Liujia Village, and it didn't change at all when he came here.

"Third Uncle..." Liu Changshun shouted when he saw a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man who was being called looked at Liu Changshun, and couldn't remember who it was for a while, but he felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, so he even turned his head to look behind him, thinking that Liu Changshun was calling someone else
"Are you calling me?!" The third uncle pointed to himself, his tone a little uncertain.

"Third uncle, what's wrong with you, you don't know me anymore?! I'm Xiaoshun." Liu Changshun said.

"Xiao Shun?! Is it Xiao Shun from the elder brother's family?!" The third uncle looked at Liu Changshun, and he looked familiar, but why did he feel different from the Liu Changshun he remembered? !

In the past, Liu Changshun was as skinny as a stick, but now Liu Changshun is as strong as a cow, so it's no wonder that he can't recognize him.

"It's me!" Liu Changshun nodded.

"It's really you boy! No, you went to join the Eighth Route Army, why did you become so... burly?!" The third uncle was also a little happy.

But then I remembered, Liu Changshun didn't join the Eighth Route Army anymore, how could he eat like this? !

Didn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army was poor and couldn't even get enough to eat, but Liu Changshun's behavior didn't seem like he couldn't get enough to eat, but rather like eating meat every day.

"The food is good, third uncle, how are my parents?!" Liu Changshun asked quickly.

"Well, it's still the same." The third uncle nodded. After Liu Changshun left, the elder brother's place became more relaxed. There were fewer people to eat, and the pressure was lighter. The two nephews and nieces would not cry hungry every night.

"Third Uncle, then I'll go back first. I can't stay long this time. I've asked for leave." Liu Changshun ran to the village after speaking.

Li Jin also followed.

The third uncle looked at Li Jin and felt that this person looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember.

"It doesn't matter, let's stop doing today's work, let's talk about it tomorrow." Thinking of this, the third uncle went home directly, planning to ask his wife to visit the elder brother's house.

Along the way, Liu Changshun saw familiar villagers saying hello, which made the villagers fall into deep thought. They always felt that Liu Changshun looked familiar, but they couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Li Jin watched from behind. The current Liu Changshun has indeed changed a lot. Compared with before, he is almost two people. Apart from his parents, few of them may recognize him.

Soon, Li Jin went to Liu Changshun's house.

Their home is at the foot of a hill at the end of the village. In a yard surrounded by fences, a middle-aged woman is feeding chickens.

Liu Changshun couldn't help but slow down.

He stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door.

"Mom, I'm back." Liu Changshun's voice trembled.

When the middle-aged woman heard the voice, she turned her head to look, only to see a burly boy standing at the door.

"Xiao Shun!!" The middle-aged woman recognized Liu Changshun at a glance, and she hurried forward.

"Let mother see, you are not injured." Aunt Liu grabbed Liu Changshun's hand and walked around Liu Changshun, for fear that Liu Changshun was missing some parts.

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine!" Liu Changshun said.

"That's good, that's good!" Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you come back?! Also, why are you so strong?!" Aunt Liu asked one after another. She was really curious, how did her son become so strong? !
"I asked the company commander for leave. As for being so strong, it's because the food in the company is good, so I'm strong." Liu Changshun said.

"Oh, is that so?! But, didn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army was very poor?!" Aunt Liu wondered.

"It's a bit poor. When I first arrived there, I couldn't get enough to eat every day. Later, our company commander was very powerful and led us to seize a lot of supplies.

Then the food got better. "Liu Changshun explained simply.

When he first joined the Eighth Route Army, it was true, but he couldn't hold back their company commander, he had a lot of supplies, and the food was very good.

"Your company commander is pretty good." Aunt Liu nodded, accepting this explanation.

"Almost forgot, company commander!" Liu Changshun remembered now that Li Jin hadn't entered yet, so he hurried out and called Li Jin in.

"Aunt Liu, long time no see." Li Jin greeted politely with a smile on his face.

"You are... Platoon Leader Li, right?!" Aunt Liu looked at Li Jin. Although Li Jin had also changed a little, it was not that big, so she still recognized Li Jin.

"Well, it's me." Li Jin nodded.

"Mother, it's not platoon leader Li anymore, it's company commander." Liu Changshun said from the side.

"It's okay, Aunt Liu can be called whatever she wants." Li Jin said, it was just a title, and he didn't care much.

"Company commander? Platoon leader Li has been promoted, and my Xiaoshun has to rely on you to take care of me." Aunt Liu said hastily.

"I can't talk about taking care of them. Xiao Liu is also the platoon leader now, and he is in charge of dozens of people." Li Jin laughed.

As soon as the words came out, Aunt Liu was stunned, and looked at her son, who didn't look like an official at all.

"Captain Li, are you kidding me?! Is Xiao Shun really a platoon leader?!" Aunt Liu asked.

"It's true, Xiao Liu's ability is very good, and it's normal to be a platoon leader." Li Jin said, it is right for Liu Changshun to look good in front of his parents. Who doesn't want their son to be an official? .

"Smelly boy, it's fine, I didn't see that you still have this ability." Aunt Liu also showed a smile on her face, looking very happy, her son is promising.

"Mother, don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful." Liu Changshun couldn't help but feel proud.

"That's terrible, it's because your company commander thinks highly of you." Aunt Liu said, she turned to look at Li Jin.

"Company Commander Li, thank you for taking care of my Xiaoshun." Aunt Liu thanked her. If Li Jin hadn't been promoted, her son would have become a platoon leader.

"Nothing, since Xiao Liu is capable, he can take this position." Li Jin said seriously.

Li Jin will not promote people who are not capable at will, so as not to harm his own people.

"Mom, where's dad?!" Liu Changshun quickly changed the topic.

"That's right, I almost forgot, your father is still sleeping, Datou Liu, Xiaoshun is back!!!" Aunt Liu hurriedly yelled into the room.

As soon as the words fell, there was a crackling sound in the room, and a little boy and a little girl ran out first.

"Where is big brother?!" After the two came out, when they saw Liu Changshun, they were a little afraid to recognize each other.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoyu." Liu Changshun couldn't help but stepped forward when he saw the two.

In the end, the two children were startled, and they hurriedly ran to hide behind Aunt Liu, and carefully poked their heads out to look at Liu Changshun vigilantly.

After Li Jin saw it, he couldn't help laughing. The only ones who could recognize Liu Changshun were his parents.

"What are you doing? This is your elder brother." Aunt Liu said, Liu Changshun had changed so much that the two little guys couldn't recognize him.

"But the big brother is not so big." The little girl said weakly, she remembered that the big brother was very thin, not what he is now.

"That's right, this is not the eldest brother at all." The little boy also said, and he did not believe that the person in front of him was their eldest brother.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoyu, I'm really your big brother." Liu Changshun was a little bit dumbfounded, did he really change so much? !

"Your elder brother has gained weight, this is your elder brother." Aunt Liu said patiently.

The two little guys still looked at Liu Changshun warily.

"Little girl, have you forgotten who wetted your bed for you before?!" Liu Changshun looked at the little girl and said.

When the little girl heard it, she was stunned.

Liu Changshun looked at the little boy again: "Xiaoyu, you broke the fence earlier, who repaired it for you."

The little boy was also taken aback.

Then the two little guys looked at each other.

"It's really big brother!" The two ran towards Liu Changshun with small steps.

Seeing this, Liu Changshun also squatted down and hugged the two little guys.

"Brother, how did you become so strong?!" Liu Xiaoyu wondered, it feels like it's not been a long time since the eldest brother has grown so strong.

"Brother must have stolen it." The little girl conjectured.

Liu Changshun couldn't laugh or cry, these two little guys, what are you talking about, who stole it.

At this time, a middle-aged man also came out.

After seeing Liu Changshun, he recognized him at first sight, but his face was still expressionless, showing no joy.

"Father!" Liu Changshun hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"Why did you come back suddenly? You didn't become a deserter, did you?!" Liu Zhen said slowly.

"No, I asked for leave, and our company commander has followed." Liu Changshun hurriedly looked at Li Jin who was beside him.

"Uncle Liu." Li Jin shouted.

"Platoon Leader Li, long time no see." Liu Zhen walked towards Li Jin with a smile on his face.

After Liu Changshun saw this, he also murmured in his heart that he finally came back, but his father thought he was a deserter, and seeing that the company commander became friendly again, he suspected that he had picked him up.

"Xiao Shun asked for leave this time, so I troubled Platoon Leader Li to come here in person." Liu Zhen said.

"It's nothing, but when I was doing the task, I saw that it was not far from here, so I allowed him to go home and take a look." Li Jin said.

If it weren't for the fact that this mission happened not far from Liu Changshun's home, Li Jin would not have agreed to Liu Changshun's return.

Otherwise, if the soldiers have to go home to see, in case of any emergency, how to call the troops.

"Then did your mission complete?!" Liu Zhen asked.

"Well, it's done, but we can't stay for long, we can only stay for half a day, and we're going back to the base." Li Jin nodded and said.

"Has it only been a long time?!" Liu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Company Commander Li, come in and sit down."

"Okay." Li Jin nodded, and followed Liu Zhen into the room to sit, and Liu Changshun and the others followed.

"Company Commander Li, sit down first, I'll go out for a while." Liu Zhen said.

"Father, where are you going, I will accompany you." Liu Changshun also wanted to follow.

"No, you stay indoors." Liu Zhen turned and went out.

"Mom, what did Dad do?!" Liu Changshun asked.

"Don't worry about him, it's too much for him to go out after you come back for a long time." Aunt Liu was also a little angry, her son finally came back, and he left home directly as a father.

Liu Changshun opened his mouth, but he didn't say much, but he probably felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Li Jin just looked at it like this. He could tell that Liu Zhen was very happy to see Liu Changshun back, but he was not good at expressing it, not that Liu Zhen was cold-blooded.

"Xiao Shun, tell me about your time in the army..." Aunt Liu said.

"Okay." Liu Changshun nodded, and then he talked about the things in the base area. Of course, he was talking about the things during the training.

Aunt Liu and the others listened with gusto, interjecting a few words from time to time.

"Brother, the food in the army is really so good?! Can you eat meat every day to your fullest?!" Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help drooling when Liu Changshun said that he could eat meat every day.

"I want to eat meat too." Xiaoya said too.

They haven't eaten meat for a long time, and the few chickens raised at home are sold for money after the Chinese New Year, so they can't eat them.

After hearing this, Li Jin got up and said, "I'll go out and talk to you guys."

After leaving Liu Changshun's home, Li Jin went straight to the nearby town closest to Xiaoliu Village.

Li Jin bought two old hens and half a piece of pork in the town, and left the town. Not far from the town, Li Jin saw Liu Changshun's father.

He hastened to catch up.

"Uncle Liu."

"Platoon Leader Li, why are you going to the town?" Liu Zhen looked at Li Jin carrying two old hens and half a piece of pork.

"Uncle Liu, what did you buy?!" Li Jin saw something wrapped in oil paper in Liu Zhen's arms.

"Bacon, I didn't buy it when I saw that kid come back, I bought it because I wanted to entertain you." Liu Zhen replied, adding another sentence.

"Well, that's really troublesome Uncle Liu." Li Jin just smiled and didn't expose Liu Zhen.

He just said, how can a father have no feelings for his son, but they can't say it, they can only prove it with actions. In many cases, the father is just giving silently, but the son doesn't understand.

There is also a gap between them because they are not good at communicating.

"Platoon Leader Li, why did you buy so many things?! Did you want to bring them back to the base?!" Liu Zhen asked in confusion.

"No, Xiao Liu asked me to buy it with his military salary, to make up for you." Li Jin said, he didn't say that he spent the money himself, otherwise, Liu Zhen probably wouldn't want it.

"This brat spends money recklessly." Liu Zhen looked angry, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed.
