When I came to Niu Li's house again, Niu's mother's behavior was completely different from what she had just happened. She thought she had never seen Tang Xiaoyao and Ying Shiqian would naturally not reveal what had happened before.

"This boss is really embarrassed. There is nothing to be treated at home. Just a little fruit. You can eat a pear first."

The female cow had a smile on her face. She was sitting in a wheelchair and was extremely polite to Niu Li’s guests.

"Auntie, you don't have to be busy anymore, we can do it ourselves."

Ying Shiqian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He still couldn't figure out what Tang Xiaoyao wanted to do. Later, he said that Niu Li's family had problems and that all the residents around him had problems. Now, he ran over again, and he looked like Niu's mother, as if nothing had happened!

Niu Li made tea for Tang Xiaoyao and the others, and introduced Tang Xiaoyao and Ying Shiqian to his mother and sister, but did not tell him about Tang Xiaoyao's identity, but only said that he was in the army!

There is no place to sit in the house, and all of them are sitting outside. Fortunately, the weather is good today, there is sunshine, it is not hot in autumn, and there are still a few months before winter, and there is no coldness!

Neiu Li and Niu Meili did not tell their mother about Ganmo's trouble, because they were afraid that their mother would worry!

The neighbors around them all knew that Tang Xiaoyao and Yingshiqian had returned, or they came back with Niu Li's siblings. They all passed by Niu Li's house from time to time, and greeted Niu's mother, saying with a smile that the guests should treat them well. If there was no fruit at home, they would send them here!

Tang Xiaoyao could see that these people were worried that strangers would come over, and they were from the army. But in front of the younger generations Niu Li and Niu Meili, they couldn't tell them directly!

They have lived here for so many years forty years. Every household has a brand new life, a family, and a child, and are not young anymore. No one will mention the things that happened back then on weekdays. It is like a passing cloud, but they will take care of each other. No matter what happens to anyone in the family, they will greet them in a special way or protect them!

Tang Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Auntie, you have a good relationship with your neighbors. If you were in the city, I'm afraid that neighbors would not be as good as you."

"We have been old neighbors for decades. There is an old saying in China that is good. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so this relationship is naturally good."

"Since we are here today, we also want to know the situation in your family. If it is convenient, can you tell us when the uncle left?"

Speaking of Niu Li's father, the family of three fell silent. Niu's mother refused to respond. Niu Li said: "My father passed away due to illness when I was in elementary school!"

Died of illness?

Tang Xiaoyao originally wanted to ask what disease was, but when he saw the expression of the mother of cow, the change was still anger. Tang Xiaoyao could almost certain that Niu Li's father did not die of illness, and there must be other reasons! Maybe it would be related to their sudden disappearance forty years ago!

As soldiers, they disappeared during the mission, or the entire team disappeared. Others thought they had sacrificed their lives for the country and died in the battlefield, but they ran to Tianshui Town in the south of the Yangtze River to live in seclusion. To be honest, this behavior is not recognized. [】Even if they lived enough of the life of soldiers back then and didn't want to be born and die again, they just had to ask for retirement. There was no need to cause such trouble!

So, Tang Xiaoyao was sure that something must have happened forty years ago, and it was definitely not a good thing, which made this expeditionary force decide to leave without saying goodbye!

I am not asking Niu Li about the cause of his father's death. I believe that the truth will naturally be revealed after Tang Qilin arrives!

Tang Xiaoyao said to Niu Li: "Niu Li, because you have fought many times outside before, and the other party came to the door again, the military academy will not fire you. Even if I help you restore your military status now, as men and soldiers, we must be brave enough to bear the wrong things, regardless of your personal problems, if you leave directly without bearing the consequences, that is a kind of cowardice."

"Long, I understand, after that, I will go to those people to apologize in person, and the medical expenses that should be paid will be paid."

"You don't have to worry about medical expenses, the military academy will help you pay. The reason why I say this is just to make you clearly realize what responsibility is."

Speaking of this, Tang Xiaoyao also said to Niu's mother: "Auntie, do you think a soldier understands the word "responsibility" better than ordinary people?"

"I'm really sorry for this boss. I didn't teach Ali well and made so many troubles happen during his studies in the military academy."

"Of course, I can't blame you, aunt, nor can I say that Niu Li is completely wrong. After all, he is still young, and it is normal to do something wrong. He is afraid of it. He knows that he is wrong, but he still doesn't change it, and he doesn't show up all his life and disappears without even saying hello. This problem will be very serious."

Speaking of this, Tang Xiaoyao looked around and threw out another inexplicable sentence for Niu Li and the others.

"I think the greening of this place is good, so I wonder if there are any swallowtail butterflies?"

When the mother of cow heard this, she said the word "Swallowtail" butterfly, her body obviously showed discomfort, and her expression and eyes also changed drastically!

When Niu Meili saw her mother's uneasy appearance, she asked, "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, I'm not feeling uncomfortable! I've been very good all this time!"

"Then why do you feel a little unsitant? If you have any discomfort, you must tell me. I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

The cow mother didn't speak, and her eyes looked at Tang Xiaoyao from time to time.

Tang Xiaoyao chuckled and asked again: "By the way, aunt, have anyone else in your family been a soldier besides Niu Li?"

Tang Xiaoyao asked the same question before, and now he asked again. Add the words "Swallowtail Butterfly" just now. The cow mother is not as senile as Alzheimer, but is only half paralyzed, so naturally Tang Xiaoyao's deliberateness has appeared.

"No! No one in our family has ever been a soldier!"

"Or what if I tell you a story, this is a real relationship and was born in our army."

Niu Li was very interested in the matter in the army and said, "Long, you said, I like to listen to these stories."

"Okay, then you guys listen. Maybe this story will help you."

After a pause, Tang Xiaoyao continued: "This incident was born forty years ago. In that era, our country was just starting out. Whether it was economic development or external crises, we were very uneasy. There were even many countries eyeing our country. So, at that time, the supreme commander of our country's army formed a team called the Expeditionary Force."
