Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 629 Meeting without Recognition

When Xiao Ma heard that his captain couldn't even recognize his own cousin, he was worried that Liu Jingxue would be sad and feel that her captain didn't value her, so he quickly spoke up for Liu Jianjun.

"Comrade Liu, the captain has been unconscious for too long and hasn't recovered yet.

Don't be angry."

Liu Jingxue was not angry at all at Liu Jianjun's words. She knew how much she had changed after cleansing her essence and marrow.

At that time, I went to the countryside after cleansing my essence and marrow, and met Liu Weihua and his wife again after nearly two months. I was wearing a camouflage necklace.

I wore it for more than half a year, and slowly changed little by little before they accepted my changed appearance.

In the original owner's memory, the last time he met Liu Jianjun was more than four years ago, so it was not surprising that he did not recognize him.

"Second brother, are you thinking about the person standing in front of you, or the short, slightly fat, yellow-skinned cousin from before?"

"Am I wrong to think this way? You were like that the last time we met," Liu Jianjun said confidently.

"Second brother, have you forgotten that the last time we met was more than four years ago.

I was only 13 years old at that time, not even 14 years old. How tall do you expect me to be?

Now I'm 18, and I can grow up like before if you think it's appropriate.

Could it be that the meals I have eaten for the past four years have been for nothing? "

Xiao Ma was surprised and asked, "Captain, you haven't seen your cousin for so long?"

"What's so strange about that? Our mission this time lasted for more than two years, and I didn't take any family leave before. It's not normal that we haven't seen each other for more than four years."

The lady at the side laughed and said, "No wonder Comrade Liu couldn't recognize his own cousin.

They say girls change a lot when they grow up, and look different every year. You haven't seen your cousin for such a long time, it's normal that you can't recognize her.

This 13-year-old girl is completely different from an 18-year-old girl."

Liu Jingxue was worried that Liu Jianjun would ask her about family matters, so she immediately started the conversation with this topic.

"So, ma'am, if the boy in your family is sent to the army, then the family can no longer rely on him.

I haven’t been home for four or five years. If I meet you on the street, I won’t even recognize you.

When someone pulls him and calls him brother or uncle, he will retort, "Who are you? Do I know you?"

If an uninformed person heard this, they would think it was a scam, or that someone had become rich and no longer recognized their poor relatives. "

When the old lady heard this, she laughed out loud, "That's really possible.

The one in my family didn't go home for several years. When he returned home, the younger generations in the family didn't recognize him.

That time he returned home quietly. Only a few young people were at home. They thought he was a thief and called the neighbors to catch him.

If he hadn’t recognized his neighbor, called someone, and revealed his identity, he would have been arrested as a thief.”

The soldier was embarrassed and quickly stopped his mother, "Mom, why are you bringing this up again?"

"Let me tell you what happened. Who told you not to go home for a few years? As soon as you came home, you made such a joke."

Xiao Ma asked curiously, "Since he recognized his neighbor, why didn't his neighbor recognize him?"

“It’s not that I didn’t have enough to eat before joining the army and was as thin as a bamboo pole.

After joining the army, I was able to eat enough, and with the training, I grew a lot taller and became stronger.

The changes were so great that it was normal for the neighbors not to recognize him," the soldier explained.

Xiao Ma nodded, "That's true.

The first time I went home for my family leave after joining the army, my parents almost didn’t recognize me. ”

Liu Jianjun was thinking of waiting for his cousin to come over and ask about the situation at home, but the topic was diverted.

He didn't want to interrupt others, so he could only wait patiently.

After finally waiting for a break, he quickly interrupted and asked, "Xiaoxue, shouldn't you be in Xinshi with your grandma? Why did you go to the Northeast?

You are in the Northeast, where is your grandma? "

Liu Jingxue sighed inwardly, she still didn't hide from what she should have hidden from.

Fortunately, I didn’t ask my uncle and aunt.

"Grandma passed away a few months after you started your mission. She has been dead for more than two years now."

There was silence in the ward.

“How could that be, grandma’s health has never been very good.

The last time I saw her, she was in good health. How could she pass away suddenly? ", Liu Jianjun couldn't accept it.

"My grandmother was in good health, but she was old after all. She was nearly 80 when she passed away, which is considered a long life."

Liu Jianjun's eyes became hot and his vision blurred.

Because of his weak body, his voice was a little weak, and sadness made his voice even more erratic.

"Why did grandma die?"

"Brother, don't think too much, grandma was healthy and passed away without any illness.

She was fine that night and was still chatting and laughing with me before going to bed. When I woke up in the morning, I found that she was still asleep, so I went to see her and found that she was gone.

The old lady sighed and comforted Liu Jianjun,

"Comrade Liu, don't be sad, this is what happens when you get old.

Your old lady is a lucky person. She passed away in her sleep without suffering any pain.

This is a happy funeral for her, you should be happy for her."

"It's my fault that I was unfilial. I didn't even get to see the old man for the last time," Liu Jianjun choked up.

"Brother, don't think too much, grandma won't blame you.

Who would have thought that grandma would pass away so suddenly? My uncle, aunt, and brother didn’t get to see her for the last time.”

"Just like what Auntie said, grandma didn't suffer at all, which is a good thing."

"Grandma is gone. Why are you going to the Northeast instead of joining my parents in the army?"

Liu Jingxue couldn't tell him the truth in front of so many people, so she could only lie.

"Go to the Northeast to work as an educated youth."

"You are an only child and the child of a martyr. You do not meet the requirements for going to the countryside. Why would you become an educated youth?

How could my parents agree to this?"

"My uncle and aunt can't persuade me.

My grandparents have long told me that I am not allowed to join the army, nor to marry a soldier.

They said that all our family members are in the army, and there must be someone who can live a peaceful life outside.

You have all joined the army, and it is impossible to pull you out, so I am the only one left.

If I joined the army, my uncle would most likely either arrange for me to serve in the army, or find a partner for me to serve in the army when I was old enough.

Then I definitely can’t go, otherwise I’d be breaking my promise to my grandparents.”

"If you don't want to go to your parents' house, you can stay in Xinshi and live there. Why bother going to the countryside as an educated youth?

Although I have never worked in the fields, I have heard many people say that farm work is not an easy job.

Why should you suffer that?

We have so many people's allowances, and you are afraid that we can't support you."

Liu Jingxue was happy to hear this. She thought that her second cousin did not treat the original owner as an outsider and still cared about her.

She was not polite and rolled her eyes at Liu Jianjun in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Liu Jianjun choked, "Xiaoxue, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
