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

"stand up!"

Lin Hui stared at him with a gloomy look: "A man has gold under his knees. If he kneels to his parents, and the motherland belongs to us to guard, there will be no need to kneel in heaven or on earth."

"Who told you to kneel down? Get up!"

Wang Yong trembled all over and stood up quickly: "Captain, I..."

His lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Lin Hui looked around and saw several plaques hanging in the small hall.

There is one first-class meritorious official and three second-class meritorious officials.

There are big red flowers hanging on each plaque, and the bright red letters are particularly eye-catching.

But in addition to these, the four words "family disciples and four walls" are used to describe it here, which is more appropriate.

The furniture in the house is all old furniture from 20 years ago, which is mottled and weathered, and even the original paint on it is worn away.

All that remains is the dilapidated appearance after fading, peeling, and cracking.

There is a TV set next to it, a black and white model with an antenna from more than ten years ago.

Even if such old gadgets were placed in a flea market in a big city, no one would take a second look.

It can only be treated as scrap and disposed of by the pound.

Lin Hui let out a long sigh in his heart.

Wang Yong sincerely admitted his mistake: "Captain, I was wrong. I was too vain."

He looked at Lin Hui closely: "When I was sent to the army, my parents placed all their hopes on me. They had been workers in factories all their lives without much success, so they could only hope that I would be successful. .”

"When I came back with medals all over my body, my father was so happy that my mother burst into tears. She also said that I was the most promising member of our Lao Wang family."

"Then they went to the neighbors to publicize that I had become a high official. Later, people from the civil affairs also came."

"They have long received the good news of meritorious service from our army, so after knowing that I came back, they sent these plaques as soon as possible, and they also sent them with gongs and drums."

He took a deep breath and choked up: "After that, the neighbors came to watch. When I saw the proud look on my parents' faces, I..."

"I'm sorry, leader, I just want to make them happy."

"I have been very naughty since I was a child. My neighbor told my mother at that time that if I could become a dragon, then his son would be a bug."

"I really want them to be happy, and I really want them to be proud of me, so..."

Lin Hui patted him: "I understand."

Wang Yong looked at him directly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably: "Captain, I know I violated discipline, please punish me."

Lin Hui looked at him and sighed again.

According to his family relationship, Wang Yong and Wang Yong are from two different worlds.

Before, he might not have understood what Wang Yong was thinking.

But I have been in the army for so long and have come into contact with so many people from different places.

If they were not soldiers, most of them would probably always be people in two different worlds from themselves.

They fought hard, they worked hard, and even gave their lives to the country.

Partly because they know the burden they carry.

On the other hand, he probably had the same idea as Wang Yong. Honoring his ancestors made his parents look at him with new eyes, and also made people who once looked down on him look at him highly.

Soldiers are human beings too, and this is human nature.

"Okay." Lin Hui smiled and helped him wipe his tears: "I know what you are thinking."

"You have paid so much and received so much honor. You deserve flowers and applause."

Wang Yong looked at him in surprise and was speechless.

Lin Hui said with a smile: "The Tiger Regiment is not a special force, nor is it a secret force. What you have done will not violate the regulations."

"We devote all our time and energy to the army. We don't have much time to honor our parents, and there is very little we can do for them."

"Now that we can make them happy, we don't have any regrets."

"Captain!" Wang Yong cried with tears streaming down his face.

Lin Hui stared at him: "Don't say anything. We put on this military uniform and are the people's soldiers. We devote our youth and life to the army, but when we return home, we are sons."

"If we can't do something for our parents and make them happy, then are we still considered qualified people?"

Wang Yong nodded vigorously: "Thank you, captain, thank you brother Hui!"

At this time, Lin Hui heard footsteps coming from outside and stared at him quickly: "Wipe your tears and don't let them see it. I will accompany you to the end of this scene. Let's come here in a glorious way." Let’s go and make your parents happy too!”

Wang Yong nodded and hurriedly wiped away his tears.

Just as the old couple walked in, Wang Yong's father said with a smile: "I'm so tired, I'm so tired, even more tired than me working the night shift."

His mother nodded: "Yes, there are so many people. It's not easy to persuade them to leave. I heard they will come again tomorrow."

The royal father waved his hands quickly: "Don't come here, I'm exhausted. Besides, our son is a high official now, how can they see him whenever they want?"

Lin Hui walked over and said with a smile: "Hello, uncle and aunt."

The old couple was stunned and looked at him.

Lin Hui continued: "You two are so right. Our leader is a person with status, and not just anyone can see him."

"And the army has regulations. You can't have casual contact with ordinary people, otherwise it will violate discipline."

The old couple's eyes suddenly widened: "What, will you still violate discipline? Then we have received so many people in the past two days, will it..."

Lin Hui smiled and waved his hand: "This is just the beginning, not to mention, and our leader has made so many achievements. Neighbors, relatives and friends should come over to help celebrate. It's all right. Please be more careful in the future." That’s it.”

The old couple then breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, but just don't implicate our Xiaoyong."

Wang Yong looked at Lin Hui's back with gratitude in his heart.

There are military regulations in the army.

It stands to reason that for everything he did today, he will definitely be punished when he goes back.

But instead of blaming him, Lin Hui continued to help him perform the trick.

He clenched his fists tightly, feeling even more grateful that he was not following the wrong person.

At this time, Wang Fu suddenly asked: "By the way, I still don't know who you are?"

Lin Hui paused and said, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Hui, and I am the staff officer of the regiment."

"Oh! So it's Staff Lin. Hello, hello." The two of them shook hands with him enthusiastically: "In the army, our Wang Yong was not too harsh on you, right?"

"From the first glance, you seem to be versatile, shrewd and capable. If he dares to bully you, tell us and we will talk to him."

Wang Yong's face has become as red as a monkey's butt.

Dad, can you stop talking?

Besides, I’m really too embarrassed to see anyone.

Lin Hui laughed and glanced at him: "Our group leader is very kind and treats our group very well. He usually pays for us to eat well when we are tired from training."

"Our entire regiment is thinking of our leader, otherwise our superiors wouldn't pay so much attention to our leader."

Hearing this, Wang Fu laughed proudly: "This is what I taught him when he was a child. A person must be considerate of everything. Even if he is an official, he must have a good relationship with the people around him and cannot have official airs, hahaha! "

Wang Yong came over quickly and said embarrassedly: "Dad, stop talking."

"Is there anything I can't say without saying anything bad about you?" Wang Fu rolled his eyes at him: "Can't I even praise you in front of your subordinates?"

Wang Yong glanced at Lin Hui with a wry smile on his face.

This is not a compliment, you are clearly trying to kill us.

Lin Hui: "Uncle and aunt, stop standing outside and come in and sit down."

"Yes, yes!" Father Wang nodded immediately: "It's hard for you to come here, sit down quickly, and go prepare the food."

My mother scratched her head: "I just said hello to several restaurant owners, saying that they have all the meals covered during this period. Which restaurant should I order from?"

Wang's father thought for a moment and said, "Go to Ma Laowu's house. Their roast chicken tastes good. I've eaten it once. The other two houses offer less food and the taste is not that good. Don't go either. Give me a call. Just bring them over."

"okay."

Seeing his mother turning around to make a call, Wang Yong hurriedly shouted: "Mom!"

"What's wrong?" Mom turned around.

Wang Yong looked embarrassed: "Can't we cook for ourselves? Why do we have to take advantage of others?"

The royal father glared at him: "Hey, what are you talking about, kid? How can this be called taking advantage of others? You are now a high official, and they are all your uncles and elders. This is also their intention."

Wang Yong almost cried.

It doesn't matter if the group leader doesn't come, but now people are still doing this here.

Even if Lin Hui doesn't punish him later, he still wants to receive a punishment himself.

Lin Hui saw his embarrassment and immediately helped, "Uncle and aunt, please understand our regiment leader. The army is very particular about not taking advantage of the masses. Even if the regiment leader is a senior official, he cannot violate the regulations."

"Don't say it's him, even if the commander comes, it will be the same."

"Isn't this against the rules?" Wang Fu scratched his head.

His mother waved her hand: "Okay, I'd better go buy groceries by myself, so as not to harm the child."

"Okay, okay, go quickly."

"You sit here for a while, I'll buy some food and I'll make something special for you to try."

Seeing his mother carrying a vegetable basket out the door, Wang Yong looked at Lin Hui gratefully.

Lin Hui smiled faintly at him.

After a while, the royal father brought him a cup of tea.

"Comrade, this is this year's new minced tea. Although the price is a bit different, the taste is the same. Our family's conditions are limited and it is not as good as your army's, so you can make do with it."

Lin Hui said with a smile: "I am very satisfied if I can go to the leader's house and drink a glass of water."

The royal father laughed heartily and was very happy to hear it.

Being so eloquent, no wonder he can serve as a staff officer in the army and work under his own son.

Wang Yong stood aside and said, "Dad, I will send all these gifts back later."

"Send it back?" Wang Fu was confused: "There is no reason to return the gift after receiving it. This is all someone else's intention, and if you send it back, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?"

Wang Yong was anxious: "But these are against the regulations."

"What kind of rule does this violate? They are all gifts from relatives and friends. Besides, you have made so many achievements. What's wrong with people giving you some gifts to celebrate?"

Wang Yong was crying and didn't know how to explain: "Dad, just send it back, otherwise I will really violate the rules."

Lin Hui looked at his appearance, holding back a smile and said: "Uncle, what the commander said is true. Our army is very particular about not taking a single needle or a thread. In the past, when the army was first established, there were three major disciplines and eight regulations. .”

"Not taking things from the common people is the first rule. Our leader has always set an example, so don't make things difficult for him."

"Yes, yes." Wang Yong nodded immediately: "You heard it, I really can't accept these things."

The father sighed: "Okay, I will send you all back tomorrow. You have finally become a high official, and we can't hold you back."

Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Hui gratefully.

That night, everyone had a good time in the yard and drank a lot of wine.

Wang's father smiled and took Lin Hui's hand and said, "It is an honor for our family to have an official like Wang Yong in our family."

"In the future, you will have to help him more in the army. If he makes any mistakes, be sure to remind him to correct them."

Lin Hui nodded: "Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

Father Wang: "Thank you very much."

His mother smiled and said, "We don't have much fun here, but there are a few nice scenic spots around. Let Xiaoyong take you to see them tomorrow."

Lin Hui shook his head and refused: "No, I will leave tomorrow."

Several people looked at him in surprise.

Lin Hui explained: "I have to visit another comrade's house. The regiment leader ordered me to go and help."

Wang Yong reacted quickly and kept nodding: "Yes, yes, I have to go too."

"What, you're leaving too? You've only been back for a few days, and you're leaving?"

Seeing Wang Yong's embarrassed look, Lin Hui understood what he meant: "Uncle and aunt, it's like this. You have also seen that there are so many people here during the day, either giving gifts or trying to build relationships with the group leader."

"But this really violates the regulations. Our leader came back just to see the two elders. He will be satisfied if he can see that you are safe and healthy."

"The troops have a lot of things to deal with next, so this way, we can avoid contact with them.

"Yes, yes, I originally wanted to stay a few more days, but there are so many people. I'm really afraid of making a mistake. I'll leave first tomorrow." Wang Yong also followed.

His mother sighed, with tears in her eyes: "I have been away for a few years, and I have to leave within two days of coming back."

Father Wang took a sip of wine, looked at Wang Yong and said, "Okay, it would be good for a son with such an old age to come back to visit relatives and see us. The top priority now is not to let him be held back."

"Besides, didn't they come again as promised? Don't let your son make mistakes."

Mom nodded, and dad looked at Wang Yong and said, "Your mother and I have no requirements for you. Since the army has given you such good treatment, you must reciprocate the favor and never make any mistakes."

Tears welled up in Wang Yong's eyes, and he stood up and saluted vigorously: "Mom and Dad, I will definitely remember your words and I will do my best."

His mother covered her face and turned away, sobbing.

Dad smiled and slapped him down: "It's the end. Let's have a good drink with your dad on the last night."

"Okay!" Wang Yong picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for him.

Seeing their happy family, Lin Hui felt a little emotional.

Soldiers protect everyone, but in fact every soldier has his own little family.

Protecting everyone is to keep your little family safe.

Even if there are no flowers or applause, they are still willing to pay silently, for their own homes and for strangers they have never met.

Early the next morning, they packed their bags and hurried out.

The old couple took them to the station.

Wang's father hurriedly bought tickets for them, bought breakfast, and put them on the bus himself.

When the car was far away, Lin Hui and his wife turned around and could still see the old couple standing on the platform.

The light of dawn hit their faces, and they were as motionless as two stone sculptures.

Wang Yong stuck his head out of the car window and waved to them vigorously. When he sat back down, tears were streaming down his face.

"Brother Hui, my dad said that I am his pride and the pride of the whole family..."

After saying that, he lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, crying silently.

Lin Hui sighed empathetically and patted his shoulder hard.

Because when his father recognized him, he felt the same as Wang Yong.

Lin Hui patted him on the back, smiled and said, "Actually, you have always been their pride, always..."
