Xu Hua.
After he was discharged from the army two years ago and returned to the city, he married his girlfriend of eight years in the second month.
Five months after the marriage, it was discovered that his wife was pregnant.
It is now almost a year since the child was born, and there is still one month left until the child's first birthday.
The family is all discussing how to celebrate the child's first birthday.
Not only Xu Hua's parents, but also his wife's parents came over.
The whole family seemed to be having a great time, and the two grandmothers couldn't put it down holding their grandson.
"It seems like something big is going to happen recently."
"I saw a lot of police cars patrolling the streets."
Xu Hua said as he put the bag in his hand on the table.
The bag was torn. To be precise, it was Xu Hua who brought it back. There were four pig's trotters in it, but the originally burnt white pig's trotters were now stained with some ashes.
"Why are you buying pig's trotters again? I'm tired of eating them."
"And my son has been weaned for so long, so I don't need to induce lactation."
When his wife saw the four pig trotters that Xu Hua brought back, she felt helpless.
"It doesn't induce lactation, but you like to eat."
Xu Hua said with a smile on his face: "Didn't you like to eat pig's trotters the most?"
"I remember when I was in school, you had to eat until the weekend."
"A man is holding one, and his mouth is full of oil after eating."
Hearing Xu Hua mention what happened when he was in school, his wife also had a smile on her face. She rolled her eyes at Xu Hua and said, "After the little guy was born, I ate pig's trotters for six months. You can’t eat it like this even if you like it.”
"Now that I see this, I feel a little queasy."
"It's better to stew it for your parents to eat."
Seeing his wife say this, Xu Hua did not refute, but just responded with a smile.
After graduating from college, Xu Hua joined the army. During his three years in the army, he cherished every moment he could spend with his family.
Speaking of which, the couple had been married for two years and there had never been any quarrels.
"By the way, when I came back today, I helped the police comrades catch a robber."
When Xu Hua said this, there was a bit of pride on his face.
The wife said with some helplessness: "It is a good thing that it will not fade after being discharged from the army."
"But Xu Hua, let me tell you, when our son grows up in the future, we are not allowed to let him join the army. It will be too painful."
Faced with his wife's reminder again, Xu Hua just smiled and did not answer.
"You have this attitude again."
Seeing that Xu Hua did not agree or disagree, his wife couldn't help but become anxious.
"Every time I tell you this, you just don't deserve it."
"I don't care. Anyway, I won't let my son join the army. It's useless for you to say anything."
The two of them had talked about this matter many times, but Xu Hua had this attitude from beginning to end.
But the more Xu Hua remained silent, the more obvious it seemed to his wife that Xu Hua wanted his son to join the army in the future.
"But having said that, I also feel that something big is really going to happen recently."
"Our store has completely banned the external sale of medicines."
"This has never happened before."
"I heard that this happened only nineteen years ago. The medicines were banned from being sold to outsiders and were all used to supply the front lines."
Xu Hua scrubbed the pig's trotters, as if he didn't hear his wife's words.
"Xu Hua, I'm talking to you!"
His wife's arm pushed Xu Hua, waking him up from his dazed state.
"Ah? What did you say?"
Xu Hua turned his head and looked at his wife, looking confused.
The wife couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she saw this, but she still said patiently: "Do you think there is an outbreak of beasts? Is that why our exotic materials market stopped selling medicines to the outside world?"
Xu Hua shook his head when he heard this and said, "How could I know that?"
"The country will definitely give careful consideration to such a major matter. We just need to live our lives well."
It was just a casual chat while cooking, and his wife didn't pay too much attention to Xu Hua's vague attitude.
He just said to himself: "If you ask me, something big must be happening, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
"But you're right. We are just ordinary people, an ordinary family. If something happens, it's not our turn to worry."
"Next month is my son's first birthday."
"I want to invite all my colleagues over and have a good time."
"I was too busy to celebrate my son's full-month birthday last time, so I didn't have time to make it big. Now that I finally have a rest, I definitely want to make it fun."
Thinking of her son, the wife turned her head and glanced outside, and couldn't help but have a mother's smile on her face.
She has a happy family and her son is almost one year old. For her, life like this is enough.
"Xu Hua, Xiaoting, come out and take a look."
But at this moment, Xu Hua's mother's voice suddenly sounded in the living room.
The two looked at each other, put down what they were holding, wiped their hands and went out.
"What's wrong? Mom?"
Li Ting looked at her mother-in-law and saw her pointing at the TV.
The other three old people also had their eyes on the TV.
Um?
Li Ting turned to look at the TV, only to see that there seemed to be some kind of interview being played inside. To be precise, it was a press conference.
At first, Li Ting didn't pay too much attention, but after hearing the voice on the TV clearly, Li Ting's expression changed instantly.
"Combining the above content, the outbreak of the doomsday-level beast tide is certain."
"Preliminary estimates indicate that the storm carrying a large number of strange beasts will land on land in two days."
"At that time, it will be a confrontation between the Celestial Dynasty and the entire alien beast group."
"In response to the country's highest order, veterans will be recruited to enlist for a second time. Soldiers on vacation will return to the army immediately..."
Li Ting couldn't hear the rest of the words clearly because she knew what would happen next.
He turned to look at his husband again.
But she saw that her husband seemed to have known about this matter for a long time. There was no expression on his face, but he seemed a little more relieved.
Does Xu Hua know? he knows.
But it wasn’t long before the family knew.
It was the call I received after helping the police comrades subdue the robber when I was returning home after buying pig trotters.
It was also because of this that he was distracted before.
He didn't know how to tell his family, and he knew his wife would definitely not agree.
But now, the country has informed everyone in this way, which has actually saved him from the trouble of explanation.
Xu Hua believes that there are many comrades who are facing the same troubles as him.
After Li Ting saw Xu Hua's expression, she didn't know what she thought of. Without saying a word, she picked up the remote control on the coffee table and wanted to change the channel.
However, even if she changed the channel several times, there was still no change. This video was played on a loop on the TV.
