After all, the army was the army, not a friend's home. Yang Yi came back for a day and met his old comrade. The next morning, after breakfast, they were ready to go back.
Before they left, Yang Yi hugged his brothers one by one and said goodbye.
When it was Shen Xinyu's turn, he took out a tank made of bullet casings from behind him.
It wasn't very big, only about the size of Yang Yi's palm. The body of the tank was golden. It was obvious that Shen Xinyu had carefully selected the well-preserved bullet casings and polished off the black stains on the bullet casings. That was why it was so beautiful. Under the sunlight, it even reflected a dazzling light!
"Old Yang, this tank is for your daughter to play with!" Shen Xinyu stuffed it into Yang Yi's hands and said without any explanation.
Yang Yi was stunned. Giving such a toy to Xi Xi to play with?
However, the important thing wasn't the gift, but Shen Xinyu's intention. Yang Yi smiled and hugged Shen Xinyu. He patted his shoulder and said, "Good brother!"
"Sorry for last night, you were scolded by the chief." Yang Yi lowered his voice and said.
However, Shen Xinyu raised his eyebrows and raised his chin slightly. He said proudly, "My skills are not as good as others, so I deserved to be scolded! What are you apologizing for? If we're brothers, you should let me see my own shortcomings! "
Yang Yi smiled and patted Shen Xinyu's shoulder.
When he returned to Murphy and Xi Xi's side, they were already waiting in the waiting room at the entrance of the military camp. Yang Yi took out the "tank" and said with a smile, "Xi Xi, look, this is a gift from Uncle Shen!"
"Wow!" The little girl didn't know if it was because the "tank" was exquisitely made or because she was attracted by the bright golden light. She ran out from her mother's side in surprise. Her eyes were shining as if she had seen a rare treasure.
Xi Xi's reaction was a little out of Yang Yi's expectations. Yang Yi thought that she would not be interested in this kind of boys' toy. After all, when he usually took her to buy toys, Xixi would choose dolls and plush toys that little girls liked to play with, or mini kitchens and mini nurse outfits that were used for playing house.
"Does Xi Xi like it?" Yang Yi handed it to Xi Xi and said, "You have to be careful. After all, it's glued. It may break if it falls to the ground."
Xi Xi didn't even pay attention to him. She grabbed the heavy cartridge tank with both hands and looked at it happily. She looked at it carefully and couldn't bear to let go.
Yang Yi even heard the young lady mumbling as she looked at the "tank". "Do you want to forgive Uncle Shen? He fought with PaPa, but, but Uncle Shen lost to PaPa. Then, Uncle Shen gave me a beautiful car. I'm not angry anymore. Uncle Shen is a good person … "
Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh and shake his head at this little kid's logic.
However, Yang Yi could roughly understand that Xi Xi didn't like this gift because of the tank. She should like the color and the exquisite appearance.
"PaPa, can I put it at home and let Xin Er come to my house to see it?" Xi Xi raised her head and held the cartridge tank with her two small hands and said happily to her father.
"Of course!" Yang Yi nodded.
"Did Shen Xinyu go back? He gave Xi Xi such a valuable gift, but Xi Xi didn't even say thank you to Uncle Shen. "Murphy came over and looked at the cartridge tank in Xi Xi's hand. She felt very sorry.
"He went back. They still have a task. It's not a valuable gift, just some cartridge shells. Usually, a lot of discarded cartridge shells are left when shooting. You can get a lot of them from the management. "Yang Yi said with a smile," And I also thanked him on behalf of Xi Xi. "
"It's not a matter of whether it's expensive or not. It's not easy for him to make this handicraft. And your gratitude is different from Xi Xi's personal gratitude. "Murphy said.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xi Xi held the cartridge tank for a while and felt a little tired. She took her father's hand and asked him to hold it for her.
Yang Yi took it with his left hand and rubbed Xi Xi's little head with his right hand. He said with a smile, "Your mother said that you should say thank you to Uncle Shen. This is what you should do. But Uncle Shen has gone back now. Let's call him next time and say thank you!"
…
Yang Yi drove the rented car and took Murphy and Xi Xi back to Spring City. Along the way, they sang and danced.
Looking at the spring forest outside the car window and the flower fields of the special villages along the way, Xi Xi was so excited that she couldn't stop. She sang the song "Where Is Spring" dozens of times. Yang Yi and Murphy were about to vomit, but she was still happy and didn't get tired. She even dragged Murphy to sing with her.
"How about this, let's change. You sing a song, then Mom sings a song, then PaPa sings a song, and then it's your turn to sing. How about that? Let's see who can sing the most songs! "Murphy finally found a way to compromise and played a game with Xi Xi.
Maybe it was because they were eager to go back, but it didn't take them long to reach Spring City.
However, Yang Yi didn't plan to go back to Jiang City today. According to the plan, they still had to play in Spring City for a day.
Coming to such a beautiful place, wouldn't it be a pity if they didn't tour the scenery of Spring City and try the local delicacies?
Therefore, they went directly to Dianchi Lake National Park in the morning. Dianchi Lake National Park was a little big. After Yang Yi bought the tickets, he could drive Murphy and Xi Xi around.
It was said that Dianchi Lake wasn't so beautiful in the past, and it was even troubled by pollution. However, under the vigorous management of Spring City, not only did the water quality recover and become clean and clear, but the grass along the coast was also neatly trimmed. At a glance, it was refreshing.
After taking many photos and memories by Dianchi Lake, Yang Yi and the others went to a rice noodle shop in Spring City for lunch at noon.
"Come, Caiyun. Cross the Bridge Rice Noodle is a must!" Yang Yi said to Murphy and Xi Xi.
Xi Xi was very curious. She ran to the granny and watched the granny add ingredients to the big plate.
"No, no chili, I don't want chili!" The little girl suddenly cried out. She ran to her father and complained with her small mouth, "Papa, I don't want chili! But the granny has chili in it. "
"I don't want chili either," Murphy said quickly. Xi Xi didn't like to eat spicy food. She couldn't eat spicy food at all. This was exactly the same as Murphy.
This rice noodle shop was an old shop, and the service standards were not as high as those in big hotels. Therefore, the meat, sour bamboo shoots, and other ingredients were directly placed on the plate and not separated by small plates.
Yang Yi stood up and smiled at the granny who stopped in surprise and said, "I'm sorry, give me the plate with chili. Don't put any more chili in the other dishes."
Finally, the dishes were served. In addition to the previous bowl of rice noodle, there was also a big bowl in front of each person. It was filled with thick soup and was covered with a layer of chicken and duck fat.
Yang Yi was not so particular. He helped Xi Xi and Murphy to put the ingredients and rice noodle into the soup. He gently mixed it, and the oily noodles spread out. The originally calm soup unexpectedly emitted white steam.
"It's very hot! You can't eat it yet! " Yang Yi turned his head and saw Xi Xi who was holding chopsticks in her mouth. He said, "Before it gets cold, Papa will tell you a story first!"
"Okay! What story? " Xi Xi saw the steam in the soup and knew that it was very hot. Therefore, she shifted her attention from the food to her father.
