Chapter 33

Time flies, and more than a month has passed since my wife came back in a blink of an eye. Now it is about to end the year and a new year is coming soon. Now it is the time for the school to be busy. Because the school is about to take the final exam, my wife will be much busier than before.

Tomorrow is the weekend. Seeing my wife who worked so hard, I decided to take my wife and Mr. Niu out tonight. One is to let my wife relax, and the other is to thank Mr. Niu for her generous help, help me overcome difficulties and repay Mr. Niu’s kindness.

Since the incident has passed, I have always been verbally grateful to Mr. Niu during this period and have not expressed any practical actions. Therefore, I decided to go out for a big meal in the name of a banquet for Mr. Niu tonight, and can also reward my wife. It is a good idea to have the best of both worlds.

That night, after my suggestion, my wife and Mr. Niu did not object. Then the three of us came to a high-end hotel together, and ordered a private room separately, and ordered a lot of famous dishes. In order to thank Mr. Niu for his kindness, I specially ordered two bottles of expensive white wine.

Since it was a banquet for Mr. Niu to give thanks, the words before the meal were naturally indispensable. Seeing the happy smiles of his wife and Mr. Niu, I knew they were waiting for my speech. Standing at the dinner table, I said excitedly with a trembling voice. Today's meal was invited by me to thank Mr. Niu for your kindness. During this period, you were very busy and you never had the right opportunity to repay Mr. Niu with actions. Tomorrow is the weekend. Tonight, we can eat and drink tonight and relax. Finally, I congratulate Mr. Niu on becoming a physical education teacher and fulfilling his dream. At this time, Mr. Niu hurriedly said, "The things have passed, why do you still say thank you, Ah, don't say polite words anymore. Now we are a family, you don't have to be polite to me anymore. Our family is happy and better than anything else in the future." At this moment, my wife also saidHusband Ah, Mr. Niu is right, let’s listen to Mr. Niu. And today is the first time I came out to have dinner with Mr. Niu, so I made the same example. I will have some drinks with you and Mr. Niu, so I asked me to pour a bar for Mr. Niu. After that, my wife started pouring wine for me and Mr. Niu, and finally my wife poured a glass of herself.

However, my wife never drinks. Seeing that my wife asked to drink tonight, I must have thanked Mr. Niu for her kindness, so I thought of making Mr. Niu happy by accompanying him. Thinking of this, I quickly continued to talk to my wife's topic. Since Mr. Niu said so, I would rather obey my destiny. Come to Mr. Niu, I will give you a cup first. At this time, Mr. Niu said, "Haha, that's right, come to Xiaoxue, let's drink together." With Mr. Niu's happy smile, my wife and I toasted Mr. Niu together. Although the cup was not big, after one sip, my wife still stuck out her tongue. After all, this is the first time I drink. This is normal.

I remember when I first drank white wine, I was choked and burst into tears. Now I saw my wife looking much better than I did back then. But then again, I drank white wine for a few dollars a bottle, and of course I couldn't compare with the wine I drank now. Therefore, my wife's reaction was just sticking out her tongue and not feeling hot. This is enough to show how good the two bottles of white wine I want.

Then Old Man Niu said that this is a wine that tastes sweet and refreshing, not spicy at all, and it tastes soft and smooth. It is much better than the white wine I drank when I was in the mountains. I didn’t expect that there was such a delicious white wine in the world, which really opened my eyes. When I heard Old Man Niu praise him, I quickly smiled and said, Mr. Niu, the wine you are drinking now is the most famous white wine in our local area. The taste is first-class. If you like it, drink more. Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, and you don’t have to go to school. Just like this, under my persuasion, we soon drank two bottles of white wine. At this time, my wife was already dizzy and her cheeks were red. However, Old Man Niu did not change at all. After that, I asked for two more bottles, and Old Man Niu was still drinking with me one cup after another with enthusiasm.

As time goes by, no matter how good the wine is, I can't resist drinking too much. I've already started to feel dizzy. Old Man Niu didn't seem to drink it well, but Old Man Niu said more and more, and he drank with me while chatting. The more he talked, his wife sat next to him listening to the chat between Old Man Niu.

I really don’t know how to behave without contact. I didn’t expect that Old Man Niu was a person who could talk and chat. Unconsciously, Old Man Niu chatted about the topic into his life. His originally drunk wife was also suddenly attracted by this topic and immediately became much more energetic.

After the old man Niu slowly told me, I realized the background of the old man Niu. It turned out that the old man Niu had served as a soldier when he was young, and he was a special forces soldier. He completely changed his life when he was performing a secret mission.

According to the old man Niu, as the squad leader, he received an order from his superiors to lead an elite warrior from a squad to the border of our country to snipe the drug lords from overseas. However, the gang of this drug lords is composed of mercenaries from all over the world, and the weapons it carries are very dangerous. Faced with the drug lords who are about to enter the country illegally, the old man Niu took his comrades to fight him a desperate decisive battle. Finally, under the leadership of the old man Niu, all the outsiders who entered the country illegally were successfully wiped out.

However, Old Man Niu and the others also paid a heavy price. In this battle, most of Old Man Niu's comrades were killed. In addition to Old Man Niu, there were two other people who survived. Now those two have become division-level cadres in the army, but Old Man Niu chose to retire and leave the special forces, and since then they lived in seclusion in the mountains.

When I heard this, my wife and I were very surprised. Why did Old Man Niu choose to leave the army?

Then I asked Old Man Niu with curiosity and confusion. After Old Man Niu paused for a long time, he finally explained the reason to my wife and me after my urgent questioning.

It turned out that Old Man Niu made such a decision for his dead comrades. Because Old Man Niu was their squad leader, and in that era, the friendship between his comrades was really pure. Although I had never been a soldier, I could fully understand Old Man Niu's mood at this moment, and Old Man Niu had already left tears of sadness at this time.

Until now, the scenes that made him sad are still vivid in my mind. After so many years, Old Man Niu still remembers the appearance of every comrade-in-arms. Those young looks will never be forgotten in his mind. Whenever he thinks of them, Old Man Niu can't help crying.

Old Man Niu even erected tombstones for his dead comrades in the mountains, and would go to worship every Qingming Festival. This shows that Old Man Niu is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. He would rather leave the army and give up the opportunity to be promoted than choose to hide in the mountains and accompany his former comrades.

When I heard the story here, my wife and I were moved by the story of Mr. Niu and I felt that we had tears of sympathy. At this time, I was wondering, why did Mr. Niu not marry a wife to live together? Even if he did not stay in the army to continue to develop, it should not be difficult to find a wife to live with such a supreme honor as Mr. Niu.

Just when I was full of doubts, Old Man Niu picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it all, and then let out a long breath and placed the wine glass on the table, preparing to continue the story he had not finished telling.
