Dad kidnapped me to join the army, and the whole army asked me to be their instructor.

"not dead?"

"Yes, he is alive and well. He is jumping around and looks healthier than me."

Lin Hui spoke to the phone angrily.

Wang Chen on the other end of the phone was so angry that he almost exploded: "What disease has this kid got? Has shit been poured into his head? Why should he have a funeral if he is alive and well? How scary!"

Lin Hui angrily looked at Chen Erhuyong, who looked aggrieved next to him, and said coldly: "Okay, okay, I'll handle this matter first, and I'll come back to you later."

"Okay, fuck this kid twice for me." Wang Chen said coldly: "Being so far away makes my fists and feet itchy with anger!"

Lin Hui nodded and hung up the phone.

Chen Erhu hurriedly came over and said with a wry smile: "Brother Hui, I didn't mean to lie to you."

"Besides, I didn't expect you to know. Obviously only our village knew about it, and we didn't tell anyone else..."

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault." Chen Erhu's cousin slapped himself twice: "I answered the phone. I didn't know who it was, so I just said it casually. After I said it, I regretted it."

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Chen Erhu glared at him angrily: "Brother, didn't you say you can't tell anyone about it?"

"I didn't remember..." The cousin looked aggrieved.

"Okay, okay." Lin Hui sat on the chair angrily.

Staring at Chen Erhu: "Tell me, you are alive and well and have nothing to do with your funeral. Look at how angry you are at Wang Yong."

Wang Yong on the side leaned on his chair, panting.

From the moment he received the call until now, he had been extremely nervous, thinking about attending Chen Erhu's funeral.

Seeing that Chen Erhu was fine, his tense nerves completely relaxed.

But the whole person was completely exhausted.

Chen Erhu nodded quickly: "I'm sorry, brother Hui, I'm sorry Wang Yong."

Lin Hui snorted coldly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you know I'm sorry. What did you say you were doing for?"

"Chief."

Suddenly a bunch of people rushed in.

The leader was Chen Erhu's grandfather, followed by Chen Erhu's grandmother, grandfather, parents...

Lin Hui quickly stood up.

Wang Yong also stood up with difficulty.

"Chief, chief, please don't blame our two tigers."

Grandpa grabbed Lin Hui's hand, wiped his tears and said, "Erhu is a filial child. He has good intentions... Please don't punish him."

"Yes, Chief." Chen Erhu's mother also burst into tears: "Our Erhu is too filial, that's why he did this. Don't blame him."

"Chief, please..." a group of people shouted.

Lin Hui and Wang Yong looked at Chen Erhu, who lowered his head shyly.

The two of them were completely confused.

Does filial piety require a funeral?

What the hell is this? Are local customs so wild?

.......

"Drink, Brother Hui." Chen Erhu said with a smile, "This is the sugar cane juice we squeezed out of the mountains. It's very sweet."

Before Lin Hui drank, Wang Yong drank it "gudonggudong".

The sweetness spreads through the body, and the whole person suddenly feels better.

Lin Hui also took a sip. The sweetness entered his throat and was extremely refreshing.

He put down the cup and stared directly at Chen Erhu: "So...it was the military medal that caused you trouble?"

Chen Erhu nodded ashamedly.

"What kind of customs are you here?" Wang Yong was speechless: "How can I get you into trouble even if I get a military medal?"

"Do you know what it will be like when you, Mr. Yong, go home..."

There was a "pop" sound.

Wang Yong slapped his hand on the table, startling Lin Hui.

He stood up boldly and raised his thumb to his ear.

Then he said proudly: "Master Yong, I arrived at the door of my house. Before I entered the house, I could only hear the roar of people outside."

"I looked outside and guess what?"

The corners of Lin Hui's eyes suddenly twitched.

You just fucking said it, why did you even sing it?

"I saw loud gongs and drums outside, firecrackers blasting, and big red plaques hanging high."

"A group of people came towards my house in a dark way!"

Wang Yong said cheerfully: "The county magistrate personally led the team, and the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces put a big red flower on my head."

"The Director of Civil Affairs hung Master Yong's medals on my chest one by one."

"Then, the militiamen carried me and let me ride on a horse, and we walked around in a circle in the county town like a champion."

"Behind, there are people carrying the plaques of first-class meritorious officials and second-class meritorious officials."

Wang Yong looked proud: "Master Yong is quite famous in his hometown. That's called majesty, and that's called might!"

“Not only is Mr. Yong’s name engraved in the county annals, but Mr. Yong’s home was also renovated for free.”

"My neighbors who looked down on me before, but now if they want to shake hands with me, they have to get the consent of the Minister of Human Resources and Armed Forces."

"Master Yong, I'm not someone they can just see if they want..."

Lin Hui rolled his eyes.

This boy really perfectly interprets everything between returning home in glory and being a villain.

"That's good for you." Wang Yong glared at Chen Erhu: "Although you only get half of my credit, it's still great."

"In a small village like yours, why aren't you allowed to bomb? When you come back, they aren't allowed to treat you as emperor?"

"They treat me like an emperor." Chen Erhu said bitterly: "When I first came back, the scene was even bigger than what you had there..."

"What?" Wang Yong glared at him: "It's bigger than what I did? Are you talking nonsense?"

"Really." Chen Erhu said with a sincere face: "My father is the village chief, and my grandfather is the old village chief. I have made contributions, and people from all over the country know about it."

"The day I came back, there was a huge crowd of people. All the folks from the surrounding areas came over."

"My father carried me in a sixteen-person sedan chair all the way back to the village."

"That day, hundreds of thousands of firecrackers were carried from morning to noon without stopping. My ears were almost deafened."

"We hired four theater troupes and the movie was shown for three days..."

Wang Yong's eyes twitched when he heard this.

It was indeed more powerful than him.

Although there is no leader, they do it with great style!

Lin Hui coughed: "If that's the case, why did the military medal get you into trouble?"

"It's all my fault!" Chen Erhu slapped his mouth.

Then he smiled bitterly and said: "My dad and the others talked to me about how I got these military medals. I didn't tell the whole truth, but I told some truths."

"It's very dangerous anyway, and I told them that a comrade died some time ago..."

Lin Hui and Wang Yong rolled their eyes at the same time.

"Can you fucking say that? You are so heartless!" Wang Yong pointed at Chen Erhu and cursed.

Lin Hui nodded: "I understand. Your family loves you so much. I heard that you paid for these military medals with your life. They are worried about you, right?"

Chen Erhu nodded silently: "They want me to retire...but I swore to go on with you, and what else can I do without this military uniform."

"I don't want to be a village chief when I come back. I like the army. I like being a soldier."

"However, when I saw my grandma, my grandma, and my mother's eyes were swollen from crying..."

"So I proposed to have a living funeral first. If something happens one day, they would have seen me for the last time."

Lin Hui nodded silently and sighed inwardly.

It turns out that's what happened.

Wang Yong glared at Chen Erhu: "But these have nothing to do with whether you are filial or not?"

"Okay." Lin Hui interrupted Wang Yong.

Wang Yong muttered a few words and stopped talking.

Chen Erhu looked at Lin Hui carefully: "Brother Hui, don't you blame..."

Lin Hui smiled slightly: "I have nothing to blame you for. You are doing it for your family."

Chen Erhu immediately laughed: "Thank you, Brother Hui."

Lin Hui breathed out: "Since we are here, let's see you off for the last time. Then, let's go back to the army together."

"Okay." Wang Yong stood up: "You lied to me so many tears, I must eat more at your house!"

Chen Erhu laughed: "Then you should eat more, you must eat enough, you must eat well."

Seeing the smile on Chen Erhu's face, Lin Hui felt a little uncomfortable.

In other conventional forces, soldiers can go home after serving for two years without worrying about their lives being in danger.

Only the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Brigade...

He sighed silently in his mind.

Ma Xiaoshan, Li Xiang and those comrades who died, their families did not have the chance to see them for the last time.

When they saw it, only a box of ashes was left.

Lin Hui thought of my mother.

Every parent should be like his mother, always thinking about his children.

Lin Hui slowly clenched his fists and had a vague thought in his heart.
