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

The next day, it was just dawn.

The bus station was crowded.

There are busy figures everywhere carrying big and small bags, running for life.

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

There are almost no people on this bus, so you can sit wherever you like.

He looked at his watch and thought to himself: "I hope it's still not too late!"

Suddenly, there was a bang and the seat shook.

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

Lin Huiren was dumbfounded: When did this guy come?

Before he could speak, Xu Da took the lead and said: "Don't say anything. I am a soldier brought out by squad leader Old Wei. Without him, I would still be just an ignorant country boy. I would have retired and gone back to farm." The ground."

"He has changed you, and he has also changed me. If you are going to be punished, I will be with you."

Xu Da turned to look at him, and 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 laughed and let go of their grudges.

……

Army compound.

Lin Guangyao took a sip of the porridge and said with full praise: "Wife, your porridge is really good, not thin nor thick, just right!"

Jiang Lanying, who was sitting opposite, was eating fried dough sticks and reading the newspaper alone without saying a word.

Lin Guangyao also took a fried dough stick and took a bite: "This fried dough stick is not bad, it's crispy. Did you buy it from Ma's Breakfast Shop on Jiefang Street?"

Jiang Lanying didn't respond at all and didn't answer the question 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, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at him coldly: "What did you say?"

"I do not know?"

"Haha, we agreed to let Xiaohui retire after serving two years in the military. Now you are sending him to the military academy. Don't you want your son to come back?"

Lin Guangyao sighed, it was indeed because of this.

He said helplessly: "I will definitely agree to what was agreed upon, but now this is his own choice. What can I do?"

"Who are you lying to?"

Jiang Lanying said angrily: "His own choices are all excuses."

"What is Xiaohui like, don't I 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 bitterly and said: "Honey, my son has grown up and his ideas have changed. Sometimes we as parents can't keep up. It's normal. He has become different from before. Moreover, it's not me forcing him now, it's him." I want to stay!”

Jiang Lanying rolled her eyes: "Stop fooling me here, you are just an old warlord!"

"You made the eldest brother become a soldier, the second child was also brainwashed by you and joined the army, and now you are forcing the third child to become a soldier!"

"All three sons have gone to the army and have inherited your legacy. What about my company and my industry?"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and her face turned red: "I've known since I was little that Xiaohui has a talent for business. Whether it's gathering connections or raising funds, these are his strengths! Just look at him playing outside every day, and you don't notice. How many deals have he signed since he helped me?"

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

"I'm telling you, the two years promised were two years. Now the time has come. If you don't get him back, I'm not done with you!"

Lin Guangyao looked helpless.

Both of them are usually very busy, so it is difficult to meet each other all year round.

Now I can finally sit down and have breakfast quietly, but it feels like a war.

"You say, how to solve this matter?"

Jiang Lanying stared at him eagerly, and she must make him come up with an explanation.

Lin Guangyao slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "Go ahead."

Jiang Lanying was stunned: "What are you going to?"

Lin Guangyao sighed: "Don't you want to bring him back? Go find him directly."

Jiang Lanying looked unbelieving: "Can you agree to me finding him? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Lin Guangyao said seriously: "Comrade Jiang Lanying, I'm not joking. If you can let him come back, whether it's doing business or inheriting the company, I won't stop him, and I will definitely support him!"

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Lanying frowned: "You don't want to do something secretly, do you want to do something in advance?"

Lin Guangyao shook his head, with a serious look on his 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 finished speaking, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

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 Southwest War Zone 602! It's the weekend, I didn't disturb your rest, right?"

Lin Guangyao was stunned for a moment before he remembered: "Oh, it's you. No, no, you've been up a long time ago."

There are too many people at your disposal.

Usually it is difficult for a young teacher to remember his name.

What's more, it's from other war zones.

But after all, Lin Hui is in 602.

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 another mistake?"

"No, no." Lu Qingsong quickly shook his head: "I called just to ask you a favor."

"What's the matter, say?"

"Can you please give Lin Hui a leave and report to the military academy in a few days?"

When calling the military academy to ask for leave, Commander Lu Qingsong was not qualified at all.

It's almost enough if the commander goes.

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

Lin Guangyao asked in surprise: "What kind of leave are you asking for? Isn't that guy going to report to the mainland tomorrow? Is it possible that he has some urgent tasks?"

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

"Just yesterday, he left suddenly with his people, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Guangyao slapped his hand on the coffee table and stood up.

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

"You're going to die!"

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

Lu Qingsong quickly explained: "No, no, no, Lin Hui is not a deserter. He is going to meet his old squad leader on the island. His name is Wei Yongnian. He is a veteran of more than ten years and is about to retire..."

Lin Guangyao understood before the other person finished speaking.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he interrupted directly: "I know, I'll go and ask for leave for him. 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 felt very happy in my heart.

Turtle son is quite affectionate and righteous.

He just disobeys orders and acts too wantonly.

Can't we report this kind of thing first?

He turned his head and saw Jiang Lanying staring at him eagerly, and was immediately frightened: "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like this?"

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

Lin Guangyao smiled bitterly: "One code equals one code, how could I lie to you?"

Jiang Lanying glared at him: "I will go find him anyway. If you dare to break your promise and regret it, I will never live this day again. I will divorce you!"

Lin Guangyao looked helpless and sighed in his heart. .

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

But thinking about what Yi Lin Hui did, he felt quite happy.

He believed that Lin Hui risked being punished and put into solitary confinement, and even ignored discipline to go see the old squad leader.

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

A year ago, he couldn't guarantee it, but now, Lin Guangyao is sure.

Lin Hui couldn't bear to leave the army, let alone take off this military uniform.

Looking at Jiang Lanying's hurried away figure, Lin Guangyao smiled: "Comrade Lanying, it seems that your trip this time will be in vain!"

……

Crescent Island.

Everyone worked hard to stuff various things into Wei Yongnian's bag.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Wei Yongnian smiled bitterly: "That's enough, that's enough, it can't be packed anymore. When people leave the army, they always take a bag with them. Look at how many you brought for me. It's three bags. I How can you handle this?"

Everyone laughed at him and joked.

"You are a veteran and an old squad leader. What does this weight mean?"

"You are a tiger on land and a dragon on sea. You can easily carry three bags!"

"Yes, yes, squad leader, this is all our intention! Even if you carry it on your shoulders or bite it with your teeth, you have to get everything away, and you are not allowed to leave anything behind!"

Wei Yongnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You gave me these things, are you asking me to go back and open a canteen?"

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

Zou Peng took out the camera from his clothes and said preciously: "Squad leader, I saved up a year's salary to buy this camera. It's a good thing. I want to give it to you. The film has already been put in your bag. It’ll be fine in the future, you can take pictures of the scenery or something.”

"I may develop into a photographer one day."

Before Wei Yongnian could speak, Wu Meng took out a mobile phone: "Squad leader, this thing is called a mobile phone. It's a new thing. Everyone used to use BB machines. This one just came out. I bought it specially for you. .”

"Plug in the phone card, wherever you go, wherever the call comes, you can listen and answer the call at any time."

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

Liu Shan held a pile of furry things and said with a smile: "Squad leader, these are the knee pads and shoulder pads I bought for you. They are of various styles. This is wool, this is fox fur, this, this is not It’s the same, this one is a magnet, it’s very powerful.”

"Squad leader, I know that you have been on the island for a long time and you have rheumatoid arthritis. Your knees and shoulders hurt when it rains."

"You will be more comfortable if you wear these, especially this magnet one. You must try it. Experts say it works!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red: "You will leave the army in the future, and you will have to live a healthier life. Only when your body is strong will we feel at ease, everyone, right?"

"Correct!"

Everyone laughed together and answered.

Wei Yongnian said nothing, but he was indescribably moved in his heart.

At this moment, a little man named Wen Jun also squeezed over with all his strength.

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

Wen Jun opened the woven bag and took out a large handful of mountain products: "Squad leader, look, these red dates, longans, and pecans are specialties from our hometown. I specially asked my family to send them for you to take back to taste. taste."

Liu Shan pointed at him and said: "No wonder you kid took such a big bag of stuff from the supply ship two days ago and you didn't tell me what it was!"

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

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

"Monitor, you can't buy these things outside with money. The nutritional value is so high! Go back and give it to your sister-in-law and children to try!"

As he spoke, he stuffed things into the monitor's bag as hard as he could: "Squad monitor, this is the taste of my hometown. Don't forget me wherever you go."

Wei Yongnian hummed, feeling moved in his heart.

He turned around suddenly, tears instantly falling down his cheeks.

Several people behind him were still stuffing things into his bag.

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

Wei Yongnian looked at them with his peripheral vision, feeling warm and distressed at the same time.

He knew that what the veterans were stuffing them with was not gifts, but friendship.

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

After being together for so long, we have become a family.

Now that he was leaving, each of them felt reluctant to part with him, so they gave him their most precious possessions.

Woo!

A whistle suddenly sounded 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 stopped moving.

Wei Yongnian turned his head, and everyone had tears streaming down their face.

His throat suddenly choked up: "Okay, don't cry. You are such an adult and a veteran. Why are you crying? I am retired from the army, but I am not dead. I will write to you when I return to my hometown in the future. .”

"By the way, phone, didn't Wu Mengang give me a phone? I'll call you later."

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

Everyone pursed their lips and nodded vigorously.

Soon, the ship docked.

The whistle sounded again, as if urging them to say goodbye.

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

"Ah."

Wei Yongnian nodded.

Just as he took a step forward, someone suddenly shouted from behind: "Monitor!"

Wei Yongnian froze, as if nails were stuck in his feet.

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

Wei Yongnian raised his head and tried his best not to shed tears.

He could feel that his back was soaked.

Those are the tears shed by veterans.

Wei Yongnian suppressed his grief and smiled faintly: "From now on, I, I am no longer here, so don't relax. People live like this, don't live in confusion, live well, and live like a human being!"

After saying that, he pushed the person away hard and strode towards the shore.

"salute!"

Zou Peng took the lead and shouted hoarsely.

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

Wei Yongnian paused, and his body began to tremble.

But in the end, he couldn't bear to look back and continued to move forward firmly.

When we arrived at the shore, group leader Gao Shan was already waiting.

Wei Yongnian saluted him: "Captain!"

Takasugi also saluted him, patted him without saying a word, put his arm around his shoulders and got on the boat.

The deputy squad leader also carried his luggage and got on the boat together.

There were waves on the sea.

The transport ship sailed towards the sea again.

Wei Yongnian turned his head silently and watched the island getting further and further away until it disappeared from sight.

Gao Shan stood beside him and handed him a red pagoda mountain: "Cry if you want. We are all our own people, there is nothing pretentious about it."

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

He took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, and sighed: "Goodbye, my youth."

Gao Shan held on to the railing and smoked silently.

The two people leaned together, smoke shrouded their heads, and no one said a word.

……

After a few hours, the ship finally docked.

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

Takasugi walked over and said to the driver: "Get off and I'll see him off."

The driver was stunned for a moment and got out of the car without much hesitation.

Gao Shan held the car door and waved to Wei Yongnian: "Let's go, we are old comrades in arms, I'm here to see you off on the last journey."

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

The two of them smiled heartily and got into the car.

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

He also wanted to see the squad leader off for the last time.

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

The empty road made him feel endlessly disappointed.

The person he was looking forward to never showed up.

The deputy squad leader saw what he was thinking and sighed softly: "It would be perfect if Lin Hui was here."

Wei Yongnian's heart skipped a beat and he said nothing.

Gao Shan glanced at the rearview mirror and sighed: "This boy is the last soldier you led, and he is also the best and most outstanding soldier. I heard that he has become the deputy battalion commander now and will go there soon. Military academy for further training.”

"The old squad leader is still awesome, he can always bring out good soldiers!"

Wei Yongnian forced a smile, but said nothing.

Gao Shan sighed silently in his heart.

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

The last soldier brought out will always be the most rare and 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.

You can't just 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 had just turned around an intersection ahead.

He suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Due to the inertia, the two people behind them flew forward and their heads almost hit the seat in front of them.

"what happened?"

"Captain, if you don't know how, why don't I drive it?"

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

As if he sensed something, Wei Yongnian shook the window handle with both hands, lowered the glass, and quickly looked outside.

I saw two familiar figures standing on the roadside, their waists as straight as telegraph poles!

Wei Yongnian's lips trembled, and tears suddenly fell down.

He buried his head in his arms and cried silently.

On the roadside, Lin Hui shouted hoarsely: "Salute!"

brush!

He and Xu Da puffed up their chests, raised their right hands vigorously, and yelled with all their strength: "Hello, monitor!"

Wei Yongnian's body was shaking violently, he could no longer control his emotions, and he burst into tears.

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

"let's go."

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

Takasugi turned around and said, "Don't you say hello to them?"

Wei Yongnian shook his head and said with satisfaction: "That's enough. It's worth it to see them."

Gao Shan knew that he didn't want the two soldiers he brought out to see him in embarrassment after taking off his military uniform.

He wanted to leave with dignity, and wanted to keep his best image in the hearts of Lin Hui and Lin Hui forever.

Takasugi wiped away his tears and put the car into gear again.

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

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

Even after they had gone a long way, the two of them still stood there, maintaining a saluting posture.

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