My son is obviously a dandy, so why did he become a tiger of the empire?

Lin Hui followed the officer on duty and hurried to the duty room.

He clenched his hands tightly into fists, his heart was heavy, and his face was extremely heavy.

Just now, the platoon leader on duty told him that someone on the border island had called.

Let them tell Lin Hui that his old squad leader Wei Yongnian is about to retire...

At this moment, Lin Hui's head was buzzing.

The appearance of the old squad leader kept popping up in his mind.

"Lin Hui, I believe in you, you will definitely become a good soldier!"

"You are the best soldier I have ever led, and maybe the last one!"

"You still have a long way to go in the future, go fly, leave this island and don't come back!"

"..."

Lin Hui's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Since he left the island, he has been working hard to move forward.

In just over a year, he has achieved unprecedented achievements, and even won a medal of honor that many people would never be able to get in their lifetime.

He hasn't had time to share his current situation and achievements with the old squad leader.

Unexpectedly, he waited for the news that the old squad leader was about to retire.

too fast!

Time flies too fast!

Lin Hui is very clear about what a ten-year military career means to a veteran who loves the army.

This is almost everything to him, everything to him.

Squad leader Wei Yongnian devoted half of his life to the army.

It's like an old tree that has taken root deeply into the soil.

He brought out one excellent fighter after another for the army, and used all his energy to complete his mission as a soldier.

Letting him take off this military uniform now is as painful as peeling off a layer of skin from him.

After returning from the army, the sky is high and the earth is far away.

It's really hard to see each other again in the future.

Lin Hui felt a dull pain in his heart. He covered his chest with his hands, and it became very difficult to breathe.

After leaving the island, he has always kept in mind the teachings of the old squad leader, fulfilled his promise, and strived to become an excellent soldier.

But now, the squad leader is leaving.

In the army, the saddest thing is that when people come, they leave again.

Lin Hui knew that it was all thanks to the old squad leader that he was able to change from a poor soldier who only thought about being discharged from the army to what he is now.

In his military career, no one has more significance and influence on him than Wei Yongnian.

Soon, Lin Hui followed the platoon leader on duty into the room.

The platoon leader looked at another officer on duty inside and said, "Make a phone call."

The other officer on duty looked surprised and looked up at the clock: "It's so late, why are you still calling?"

The platoon leader sighed, and looked back at Lin Hui: "His old squad leader is retiring soon, this is probably the last chance, please do me a favor."

The officer on duty didn't say much.

After asking where the call was made, I immediately helped to connect.

Soon, the call was connected: "Hello, please transfer me to the border defense area..."

During the whole process, Lin Hui stood aside.

Never say a word.

The whole person is like a sculpture, standing quietly, as if he has lost his soul.

Soon, the call was transferred from the border area to Crescent Island.

"pass."

The officer on duty handed the phone to Lin Hui.

Lin Hui stretched out his hand, but he never had the courage to face this matter.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally picked up the microphone and carefully placed it next to his ear.

A familiar voice soon came from the opposite side, it was Wu Meng.

"Hey, hello, who is it? Talk to me?"

Lin Hui took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "I, I am Lin Hui."

Wu Meng became excited in an instant: "Lin Hui, it's really you, I guess it's you!"

The next second, Zou Peng rushed to the phone and shouted excitedly: "Let me talk, let me talk!"

"You boy made it easy for us to find you. Do you know how much effort we have put in to find you? After asking the border guards, I found out that you are no longer here..."

Liu Shan who was next to him hurriedly snatched the phone: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and continue cutting your toenails! Lin Hui, wait a moment, the squad leader is out for the last patrol, I'm going to call him here now! "

"You wait, you must wait, don't hang up the phone!"

"This call is too difficult!"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Hui heard the voice over there become far away: "Squad leader, squad leader, come back quickly, Lin Hui is calling!"

While waiting, Lin Hui's throat couldn't help rolling.

My heart is filled with excitement, apprehension, and even fear.

Even the right hand holding the phone trembled inexplicably.

He had to hold it tightly with both hands.

He has never been afraid of anything since he grew up.

Even if the father wants to sever the father-son relationship with him, he doesn't care.

But now, his heart is extremely uneasy and full of fear.

Especially this waiting process seems to be a kind of torment.

The wall clock in the duty room was ticking away.

The old watch in Lin Hui's hand made a ticking sound as if echoing each other.

The time on the watch was 5 minutes behind.

The army is not without good watches.

But this watch was a commemorative gift from Wei Yongnian.

As long as he wears this watch, Lin Hui can be confident no matter what he does.

Because as long as he sees it, Lin Hui can think that there is a place called Crescent Island on the blue sea of ​​the motherland, and there is an old soldier silently supporting him.

But now, that person is leaving soon.

What left together was Lin Hui's spiritual support and the memory of the island.

Lin Hui felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought that from now on, he could only walk forward alone.

Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

But he always hoped that this day would never come.

"Hello, Lin Hui."

Hearing this familiar and warm voice, Lin Hui's body shook, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Ban, class..."

He opened his lips, but he could only make a hoarse sound.

That's when he understood.

It turns out that when people are most nervous and excited, they cannot make any sound.

Wei Yongnian knew that Lin Hui was on the opposite side, and finally showed a long-lost smile on his face: "Lin Hui, I finally got through to you. I thought I couldn't reach you."

"You are the last soldier I brought out. It would be a pity if I left without being able to talk to you."

Lin Hui's tears could no longer be controlled, and they rolled down hotly: "Squad leader!"

Wei Yongnian responded, and the haze of being discharged from the army was also dissipated: "I've heard about your performance outside, it's great, it's amazing."

"At the beginning, I said that you were the seedling of a soldier king, and I was right!"

He said with a hearty smile: "Squad leader has no skills and no prospects in this life. Being a soldier is mediocre, and he doesn't know anything else."

"But the thing that makes me most happy is bringing out outstanding soldiers one after another."

"You are all excellent, each one is better than me, especially you, Lin Hui."

Wei Yongnian said happily: "You are the best and the best of all soldiers I have ever led! I am proud of you!"

Lin Hui bit his lip tightly and remained silent.

He just wanted to listen to the old squad leader's voice and his speech more.

Otherwise, you will never hear it again.

Wei Yongnian rubbed his eyes, choked his throat, and said in a relaxed and relieved tone: "It's worth it, and I'm relieved. With you here, I can leave with peace of mind!"

Lin Hui's breasts were wet with tears, and his heart was full of reluctance: "Squad leader, I can't bear you!"

Wei Yongnian suddenly laughed: "Stupid boy, are you still crying? You are the deputy battalion commander now, don't let others make fun of you, many people are looking at you, wipe away your tears."

Lin Hui wiped away tears with his sleeve: "Yes, monitor, I won't cry!"

Wei Yongnian took a deep breath and said relievedly: "Okay, it's so late, let's go to rest early. I just want to say goodbye to you. Now that I'm done, I'm satisfied, and I don't have any regrets."

Lin Hui's tears flowed down again, just like a dike breaking.

Wei Yongnian was silent for a long time, as if his heart had been stabbed with a knife.

But in order not to worry Lin Hui, he could only pretend to be cheerful, and said with a smile: "You are the deputy battalion commander now, and you must be very busy, so I don't have much to say!"

"In the future, don't play those little tempers anymore. When you are alone, take good care of yourself. When it's cold, remember to put your feet under the quilt when you sleep."

"Stop talking, hang up, take care!"

beep...

Lin Hui held the phone and covered his face with his arms, crying so hard that he couldn't make a sound.

This is the saddest and most uncomfortable time he has cried since he joined the army.

The two officers on duty next to him were also infected, and their hearts were extremely heavy.

The most uncomfortable thing in the army is when someone leaves and then leaves again.

Different from the outside society, in the army, there is only the purest comrade-in-arms friendship.

This friendship is constantly being cut with knives and axes.

But they couldn't comfort Lin Hui, they could only silently wish the veteran in their hearts that everything would be fine in the future.

After a long time, Lin Hui hung up the phone abruptly, and ran out of the duty room.

The two officers on duty were stunned, and quickly shouted: "Where are you going? The commander is still waiting to see you tomorrow!"

Lin Hui said without looking back: "Take a leave of absence for me and the teacher, I'm going to see the old squad leader!"

The two officers on duty looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

"He left just like that, how will he explain to the teacher tomorrow?"

"What are you going to tell me? Tell me the truth."

"He is a popular person in our teacher. It can be seen that this old squad leader surnamed Wei is very important to him. I believe the teacher is not an unreasonable person, and he will understand."

"makes sense."

Soon, Lin Hui rushed outside the division headquarters.

Beside the military vehicle, Xu Da and the others were talking and laughing.

Seeing Lin Hui rushing out like crazy, with tears in the corners of his eyes, they were all stunned.

"What's the matter, what happened?"

"Why are you still crying?"

"Did someone beat you? Whoever beats you, we can't kill him!"

Lin Hui took a deep breath and said, "Go back to the guest house first. Someone will take you to report tomorrow morning. I have to go to a place to do something."

Xu Da was puzzled: "Aren't you with us?"

Zhang Wei was worried: "If you don't go, you will be punished. The order has come down!"

Wang Yong and Chen Erhu asked with concern: "Brother Hui, where are you going? Is something wrong? Do you want us to help?"

Lin Hui shook his head, his eyes were extremely firm: "I want to go to the place where my dream of becoming a soldier started. Even if I am punished or put in confinement, I must go there. Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
