The next day, it was just dawn.

The bus station was crowded with people.

Everywhere are busy figures carrying big bags and small bags, running around for life.

Lin Hui got on the bus with his ticket and found a seat by the window to sit down.

There are basically no people on this bus, and you can sit anywhere.

He looked at his watch and thought silently: "I hope there is still time!"

Suddenly, with a bang, the seat shook.

He turned his head and was surprised to find that Xu Da was sitting beside him.

Lin Hui was dumbfounded: When did this guy follow?

Before he could open his mouth, Xu Da took the first step and said: "Don't say anything, I am a soldier brought out by the old Squad Leader Wei. Without him, I am still just a muddle-headed country boy. landed."

"He changed you and me, and he will be punished. I will be with you."

Xu Da turned to look at him, Lin Hui smiled slightly.

Xu Da also smiled back at him.

The two shook hands tightly and nodded heavily.

This scene is very similar to the scene where the two of them smiled and wiped out their enmity.

……

Army compound.

Lin Guangyao took a sip of the porridge and said full of praise, "Honey, your porridge is really good. It's not thin or thick, it's just right!"

Sitting opposite Jiang Lanying was eating deep-fried dough sticks, reading the newspaper alone without saying a word.

Lin Guangyao also took a deep-fried dough stick and took a bite: "This deep-fried dough stick is also good. It's crispy and crispy. Did you buy it from Ma's early shop on Jiefang Avenue?"

Jiang Lanying didn't react at all, and didn't answer at all.

Lin Guangyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "It's so early in the morning, what's wrong with you?"

Snapped!

Jiang Lanying slapped the newspaper on the table, folded her arms around her chest, and looked at him coldly: "What did you say?"

"I do not know?"

"Hehe, Xiaohui was discharged from the army when he agreed to serve in the army for two years. Now you are sending him to the military academy. Do you not want your son to come back?"

Lin Guangyao sighed, it really was because of this.

He said helplessly: "I will definitely agree to the good thing, but now this is his own choice, what can I do?"

"Who are you lying to?"

Jiang Lanying said angrily: "Whatever his own choice is, it's all an excuse."

"What is Xiaohui like, I don't know? He doesn't want to be a soldier at all, he doesn't want to join the army at all, you forced him to go!"

Lin Guangyao smiled wryly and said, "Honey, my son has grown up and changed his mind. Sometimes it's normal for us as parents to be unable to keep up. He has become different from before. Moreover, it's not me forcing him, it's him himself. Want to stay!"

Jiang Lanying rolled her eyes: "Don't fool me here, you are an old warlord!"

"The boss was forced to serve as a soldier by you, and the second child was also brainwashed by you to join the army, and now you are forcing the third child to serve as a soldier!"

"The three sons have all gone to the army and have inherited your mantle. What about my company and my property?"

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and her face turned red: "Since I was a child, I have seen that Xiaohui has a talent for business. Whether it is gathering contacts or raising funds, it is his strong point! Just watch him play outside every day. Until he helped me, how much business did he sign?"

"Even his uncle praised Xiaohui as a rare business genius. I was ready to hand over the company to him, but you just sent me to the army."

"Let me tell you, the agreed two years is two years. Now the time has come. If you don't get him back, I'll never end with you!"

Lin Guangyao was helpless.

Both of them are usually very busy, and it is difficult to meet each other throughout the year.

Now I can finally sit down and have a quiet breakfast, but it turned out to be like a war.

"You say, how to solve this matter?"

Jiang Lanying stared at him covetously, and must let him come up with an explanation.

Lin Guangyao slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "You go."

Jiang Lanying was stunned: "Go to what?"

Lin Guangyao sighed: "Didn't you try to bring him back, go to him directly."

Jiang Lanying looked disbelieving: "Can you agree with me looking for him? You are making fun of me, aren't you?"

Lin Guangyao said solemnly: "Comrade Jiang Lanying, I'm not joking. If you can get him back, whether it's doing business or inheriting the company, I won't stop him. Moreover, I absolutely support him!"

Looking at his appearance, Jiang Lanying frowned instead: "Could it be that you want to do something in private and do something in advance?"

Lin Guangyao shook his head with a serious face: "I guarantee with the honor of a soldier, absolutely not!"

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved, I hope you will do what you say..."

Before he could finish speaking, the living room phone rang suddenly.

Lin Guangyao said hello and hurried to the living room to answer the phone.

As soon as I picked it up, a hearty voice came from over there; "Old chief, it's me, Xiao Lu from 602 in the Southwest Theater! Didn't disturb your rest this weekend?"

Lin Guangyao was stunned for a moment before he remembered: "Oh, it's you, no, no, you woke up early."

There are too many people under his command.

Usually a small teacher, it is difficult for him to remember the name.

What's more, it's from other theaters.

But Lin Hui is in 602 after all.

In order to understand Lin Hui's development, I had contacted Lu Qingsong several times before, so I had an impression.

Lin Guangyao smiled and said, "What's the matter, Xiao Lu, is it my son? Did he make a mistake again?"

"No." Lu Qingsong quickly shook his head: "I just called to ask you something."

"What's the matter, say?"

"Can you ask Lin Hui for a leave of absence, and report to the military academy a few days later."

Calling the military academy to ask for leave, the status of Master Lu Qingsong is not qualified at all.

It's almost time for the commander to go.

After all, the principal of the military academy is also a general.

Lin Guangyao asked in surprise: "Why are you taking leave? Isn't that kid going to report to the mainland tomorrow? Is it possible? Is there any urgent task?"

Lu Qingsong waved his hand: "It's not an urgent task."

"It was just yesterday that he took people away suddenly, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Guangyao slapped the coffee table and stood up abruptly.

Jiang Lanying, who was eating in the restaurant, was startled.

"You're going to die!"

Lin Guangyao was full of anger: "This son of a bitch, he finally got the opportunity to go to the military academy. He didn't cherish it, and he actually became a deserter?"

Lu Qingsong quickly explained: "No, no, no, Lin Hui didn't become a deserter. He went to see his old squad leader on the island. His name is Wei Yongnian. He is a veteran of more than ten years and will be discharged soon..."

Before the other person finished speaking, Lin Guangyao understood.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he interrupted directly: "Got it, I'll ask him for leave, you don't have to worry about this!"

"Thank you chief, I'll hang up then."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Guangyao returned to the restaurant and sat down again.

I am very pleased in my heart.

Guizi is quite affectionate and righteous.

Just a little disobedient to orders, too reckless.

Can't we make a report on this kind of thing?

He turned his head and saw Jiang Lanying glaring at him, he was startled immediately: "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Lanying said angrily, "You still asked me to find him? He just left the army, and you got so angry, saying, did you lie to me just now?"

Lin Guangyao smiled wryly: "One size counts for one size, how could I lie to you."

Jiang Lanying stared at him: "Anyway, I will go to him. If you dare to break your promise and go back on your word, don't let this day pass. I will divorce you!"

Lin Guangyao looked helpless and sighed inwardly. .

At this age, I still talk about divorce all the time, really.

But thinking of what Lin Hui had done, he was still very happy.

He believed that Lin Hui would go to see the old squad leader at the risk of being punished and placed in confinement, regardless of discipline.

It shows that his feelings for the army far exceed that of ordinary people.

He couldn't guarantee it a year ago, but now, Lin Guangyao can be sure.

Lin Hui was reluctant to part with the troops, let alone take off this uniform.

Looking at the back of Jiang Lanying leaving in a hurry, Lin Guangyao smiled: "Comrade Lanying, it seems that you are going to make a futile trip this time!"

……

Crescent Island.

Everyone desperately stuffed various things into Wei Yongnian's bag.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Wei Yongnian smiled wryly: "Enough, enough, I can't fit in any more. When people leave the army, they always take one bag with them. Look at how much you brought me. It's three bags. How can this be moved?"

Everyone laughed at him, jokingly.

"You are a veteran, you are an old squad leader, what is this weight?"

"You are a tiger on land and a dragon on the sea, three packs are easy!"

"Yes, yes, monitor, this is all our intention! Even if you carry it on your shoulders and bite it with your teeth, you have to get rid of all the things, and don't leave anything behind!"

Wei Yongnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You bought me all these things, are you telling me to go back to open a small shop?"

Everyone laughed and said, "It's not impossible!"

Zou Peng took out the camera from his clothes and said with a baby: "Squad leader, I bought this camera after saving my wages for a year. It is a good thing. I want to give it to you. The film has been packed in your bag. It’s okay in the future, you can take pictures of the scenery.”

"Maybe one day I will develop into a photographer."

Before Wei Yongnian could speak, Wu Meng took out a mobile phone: "Squad leader, this thing is called a mobile phone, and it's a new gadget. In the past, everyone used to use bb phones, but this one just came out, and I bought it for you specially. .”

"Plug in the phone card, wherever you go, wherever you make a call, you can listen to it at any time."

"After we go back, we can contact you no matter where we go."

Liu Shanyong hugged a bunch of furry things, and said with a smile: "Squad leader, these are the knee pads and shoulder pads I bought for you, in various styles. This is wool, this is fox fur, this, this is not It’s the same, this one is a magnet, it’s amazing.”

"Squad leader, I know you have been on the island for a long time, and you have rheumatoid arthritis, and your knees and shoulders hurt when it's rainy."

"Wearing these, you can feel more comfortable, especially this magnet, you must try it, experts say it works!"

As he talked, his eyes turned red: "You will leave the army in the future, and you will live a more healthy life. Your body is strong, so we can feel at ease in our hearts. Everyone said, right?"

"Correct!"

Everyone answered with a smile.

Wei Yongnian didn't say anything, but he was indescribably moved.

At this moment, a small man named Wen Jun also squeezed over desperately.

He was holding a woven bag in his hand, and it was rattling inside.

Wen Jun opened the woven bag, and took out a lot of wild goods from inside: "Squad leader, look, these red dates, longans, and pecans are all special products of our hometown. I specially asked my family to send them back for you to taste. taste."

Liu Shan pointed at him and said, "No wonder you got such a big bag of things from the supply ship two days ago, and you didn't tell me what it was when I asked you!"

Wen Jun chuckled: "In the past, you always said that I was not generous."

"The squad leader is gone this time, can't I be generous?"

"Squad leader, these things can't be bought with money outside, and the nutritional value is very high! Go back and bring them to your sister-in-law and children to taste!"

As he spoke, he stuffed everything he had desperately into the squad leader's bag: "Squad leader, this is the taste of my hometown, don't forget me wherever you go."

Wei Yongnian hummed, his heart full of emotion.

He turned around abruptly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

The people behind him were still stuffing their things into his bags.

If it weren't for the good quality of the army's bags, it would have exploded.

Wei Yongnian looked at them from the corner of his eye, feeling both warm and distressed.

He knew that what the veterans stuffed was not a gift, but friendship.

The more precious something is, the more he will never forget it.

We've been together for so long, we've become a family.

Now that they want to leave, each of them is very reluctant to give up, so they give him the most precious thing.

Woo!

Suddenly there was a whistle on the sea.

A transport ship came from the sea from far to near.

Wei Yongnian took a deep breath: "Okay, stop stuffing, it's time to go."

Hearing the word go, everyone behind him seemed to freeze, and they all stopped moving.

Wei Yongnian turned his head, everyone burst into tears.

His throat suddenly choked up: "Okay, don't cry, you are such an adult, you are a veteran, what are you crying for? I am retired, not dead, I will write to you when I return to my hometown .”

"By the way, the phone, didn't Wu Menggang send me a phone number, I'll call you later."

"When you're free, come to my hometown, and I'll treat you to the best wine!"

Everyone pursed their lips and nodded vigorously.

Soon, the boat docked.

The siren sounded again, as if urging them to part ways.

The deputy squad leader sighed, and walked over to help pick up all the bags: "Let's go, old Wei!"

"Ah."

Wei Yongnian nodded.

Before he stepped out, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Squad leader!"

Wei Yongnian froze, as if nails had been driven into his feet.

Several people rushed up from behind, hugged him tightly from behind, cried and shouted: "Squad leader!"

Wei Yongnian raised his head, trying not to let the tears flow down.

He could feel his back getting soaked.

Those were the tears of the veterans.

Wei Yongnian suppressed his grief, and smiled faintly: "From now on, I, I won't be here anymore, so don't relax yourself. This is how you live your whole life, so don't let it go in a muddle, live well, and live like a human being!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed the person away forcefully and strode towards the shore.

"salute!"

Zou Peng took the lead and roared hoarsely.

Everyone raised their right hands and saluted the monitor's back.

Wei Yongnian's footsteps paused, and his body trembled.

But in the end, he still held back and didn't look back, and continued to move forward firmly.

When they came to the shore, the head of the group, Takasugi, was already waiting.

Wei Yongnian saluted him: "Team leader!"

Gao Shan also saluted him, without saying a word, patted him, put his arms around his shoulders and boarded the boat.

The deputy squad leader also carried the luggage and boarded the boat together.

There were waves on the sea.

The transport ship sailed towards the sea again.

Wei Yongnian turned his head silently, watching the small island get further and further away until it disappeared from sight.

Standing by the side, Gao Shan handed him a red pagoda mountain: "Cry if you want to, it's all your own, there's nothing hypocritical about it."

Wei Yongnian took the cigarette, and Gao Shan helped him light it.

He took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, and sighed: "My youth, goodbye."

Takasugi leaned on the railing and smoked silently.

The two of them were leaning against each other, with smoke hanging over their heads, and neither of them spoke again.

……

A few hours later, the boat finally docked.

On the shore, a military vehicle was already waiting for them.

Gao Shan walked over and said to the driver, "Go down, I'll see him off."

The driver froze for a moment, and got out of the car without much hesitation.

Gao Shan supported the car door and waved to Wei Yongnian: "Let's go, we are old comrades-in-arms, I'll see you off for the last ride."

Wei Yongnian laughed and said, "Then I won't be polite."

The two smiled heartily and got into the car.

The deputy squad leader stuffed things into the trunk and got into the car.

He also wants to send the squad leader off for the last time.

After getting into the car, Wei Yongnian couldn't help but look back.

The empty road made him feel endlessly lost.

The person he was looking forward to had never appeared.

The deputy squad leader saw his thoughts and sighed softly: "If Lin Hui is here, it will be perfect."

Wei Yongnian's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't speak.

Gao Shan glanced at the rearview mirror, and sighed: "This kid is the last soldier you have ever led, and he is also the best and most outstanding soldier. I heard that he has become the deputy battalion commander now, and he will go to the army soon. Military academy training."

"It's still the old squad leader, he can always bring out good soldiers!"

Wei Yongnian squeezed out a smile, but said nothing.

Gao Shan sighed silently in his heart.

He knew that Wei Yongnian must be very sad at the moment.

The last soldier brought out will always be the rarest and most precious to anyone who has ever led a soldier.

It's a pity that Lin Hui went to a new army and had a new mission.

Impossible to come here casually.

This may also be Wei Yongnian's biggest regret in his life.

"gone."

Takasugi started the car and drove towards the road ahead.

The car just turned around an intersection ahead.

He slams on the brakes suddenly.

Due to inertia, the two people in the back rushed out and almost hit their heads on the front seat.

"what happened?"

"Head, will you, or should I drive?"

Gao Shan turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, his lips were trembling: "Look, look ahead!"

Wei Yongnian seemed to have sensed something, he shook the window handle desperately with both hands, lowered the glass, and quickly looked outside.

I saw two familiar figures standing on the side of the road, their waists straight, like telegraph poles!

Wei Yongnian's lips trembled, and tears fell down in a flash.

He buried his head in his arms and wept silently.

On the side of the road, Lin Hui shouted hoarsely, "Salute!"

brush!

He and Xu Da straightened their chests, raised their right hands vigorously, and shouted with all their strength: "Hello, squad leader!"

Wei Yongnian's body trembled violently, his emotions could no longer be controlled, and he burst into tears.

The deputy squad leader and Takasugi also raised their heads, tears streaming down their faces.

"let's go."

After a while, Wei Yongnian wiped his tears, patted Gao Shan's shoulder and said.

Takasugi turned around: "Aren't you saying hello to them?"

Wei Yongnian shook his head, and said contentedly: "Enough, it's worth seeing them."

Takasugi knew that he didn't want the two soldiers he brought out to see him in a panic when he took off his uniform.

He wanted to walk decently, and wanted to keep his best image in Lin Hui and Lin Hui's hearts forever.

Takasugi wiped away his tears and put into gear again.

Gently release the clutch and let the car coast slowly forward.

Wei Yongnian raised his head slightly, watching Lin Hui and Xu Da slowly turn their bodies following the direction of the car.

Until they walked a long way, the two still stood there, maintaining a salute posture.

Tears welled up in Wei Yongnian's eyes again, and he choked up and said, "Good soldiers are all good soldiers brought out by me, they are worth it, they are worth it in this life!"
