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

"Old class leader!"

Xu Da, who was bending over to work, froze for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look over.

Under the setting sun, the faces of the three of Lin Hui were dyed red.

Standing beside the field ridge, looking at him with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Xu Da was shocked.

"Come and see you." Lin Hui said with a smile: "As your regiment leader and your old comrade-in-arms, isn't it normal to come and see you?"

The three laughed together: "Why, you still don't welcome us?"

Xu Da had an inexplicable look on his face, both excited and a little flustered.

It seemed that Lin Hui and the others had seen something they shouldn't have seen.

"What are you still doing? Help!"

"okay!"

Lin Hui yelled, and the three of them put their things aside together, took off their coats and jumped down towards the field.

Xu Da hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, it's too dirty here, you just wait outside, I'll be fine soon."

"Old squad leader." Lin Hui walked up to him and said with a smile, "What are we doing, afraid of getting dirty?"

"No matter where we go, we share the blessings, share the hardships, and work together!"

"That's right, old squad leader, don't be too polite, let's do it together."

The three laughed and helped with the work together.

Xu Da's face was full of emotion: "Oh!"

He nodded with a smile, lowered his head and worked together.

As the sun set, darkness began to engulf the earth little by little.

After a busy day, the villagers carried their tools and walked towards the village talking and laughing.

"Come, come, come and wash."

Xu Da pushed open the door of the house and hurriedly went to fetch a bucket of well water: "The conditions at home are really not very good, you guys are laughing at me, just sit down."

While holding the small bench, he fetched water for the three of them to wash their faces and feet.

Lin Hui looked around, it was a simple and small courtyard.

Mud land, small bungalows.

Except that the walls are built with red bricks and plastered with mud mixed with straw.

The window roof is almost entirely made of wood.

The roof is also covered with a layer of grass to prevent the wood from being corroded by rain.

"Is there a guest?" The door of the inner room creaked open, and an old lady with a cane came out.

Xu Da hurried over to help: "Mom, these two are my comrades-in-arms, and this is my leader."

The aunt said in sub-standard Mandarin mixed with local colloquialism: "It turns out that he is Dazi's comrade-in-arms and leader, welcome."

"Our family is poor and the hospitality is not good. I'm really sorry."

Lin Hui quickly laughed and said, "Ma'am, don't be polite. The three of us are actually soldiers brought out by Xu Da. He is our old squad leader, so please don't be polite to us."

"Yes." Wang Yong nodded: "We are all soldiers in the army, and we don't pay attention to anything."

The aunt nodded with a smile, and hurriedly whispered, "Dazi, hurry up and borrow some meat from each house, so we can cook later."

"okay."

Xu Da smiled and said to Lin Hui and the others: "You guys wait here, I'll go out and borrow some food."

Lin Hui grabbed him and asked in surprise, "Why do you need to borrow food?"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Don't get me wrong, our family is not so poor that we can't even afford food."

"We are too far away from the county town. If we want to buy vegetables, we have to go to the market in the morning. It's late now, and there is no place to buy vegetables in the village, so we can only borrow some and return it to others tomorrow."

Lin Hui shook his head: "Don't bother, let's just eat whatever we want."

The aunt quickly waved her hand: "How can it be done, you have come from a long way, you are distinguished guests, we feel sorry for the bad reception."

Xu Da patted Lin Hui's hand: "Captain, don't say anything. Who are we? There are mountain people's rules in the mountains. Since you are here, just do as you please."

Lin Hui looked at Xu Da and his old mother's kind appearance, and could only nod his head.

Xu Da greeted them, then turned around and left.

But when he opened the door, he just ran into a dozen women.

"Dazi, are you going out to borrow food?"

"I knew if you went to the market today, everyone came here by themselves."

Before Xu Da could speak, more than a dozen people came together.

An older sister said enthusiastically: "Don't say anything, greet your comrades well, it's not easy for them to come to the mountains, go and do your work, let's cook!"

Xu Da was forced to come in.

More than a dozen women seemed to be returning to their own homes.

They greeted Lin Hui with a smile, said some kind words, and then rushed into the kitchen together.

Xu Da's mother smiled and was not polite, as if she was not surprised, she also followed them to the small bungalow.

After a while, a dozen people were all busy.

Xu Da walked beside them in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I made you laugh, people in the mountains are like this, they are as close as a family and warm."

Chen Erhu laughed and said, "Your village is the same as ours, everyone is a family."

Xu Da touched his head and said with a smile, "Maybe it's not the same. Although our village is not big, there are dozens of surnames."

"So many surnames?"

"Yes, our village is actually only more than 100 years old. We all escaped from the wars and disasters before, and gradually formed a village after settling here."

"However, the people in the village have a very good relationship, everyone is like a family, so..." Xu Da chuckled: "Don't sit outside, hurry up and go inside."

The three of Lin Hui were rushed into the house by Xu Da.

The room is very dark, you have to turn on the lights to have light.

Lin Hui and the others glanced at the room. The furnishings in the room were very simple. Except for the tables and chairs, there was only an old-fashioned hall painting hanging in the main room.

Then there is nothing.

Xu Da was very embarrassed: "Before you come, you really should say hello, so I can get ready."

Lin Hui looked at his distressed appearance, and patted him: "Old squad leader, don't say anything, we actually know what's going on in your family."

The other two nodded, and Lin Hui continued, "By the way, we brought a lot of things this time, so let's all take them out."

The two quickly opened the bag: "We bought a lot of good things for you this time."

As they spoke, they opened their backpacks and took out a bag of food.

Xu Da smiled from ear to ear: "Come here as soon as you come, it's too polite, they are all comrades in arms, it makes them so strange."

Chen Erhu looked at him: "Old squad leader, these things are not for you to eat, but for your mother. From now on, she will be alone at home, so she can eat some when she has nothing to do."

Xu Da smiled awkwardly, and pointed to the table: "She is so old, you should bring some normal ones, so you bring so many candies and chocolates, will she get diabetes?"

The three of them froze for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "It's really a bit thoughtless."

The four of them just sat here chattering.

There was a lot of work in the kitchen.

After a while, steaming local dishes were served one after another.

The women rubbed their hands and said, "Dazi, take good care of your comrades, and we'll leave first."

Lin Hui said politely: "Sister, you have worked hard too, why don't you stay and eat together?"

"No need." The eldest sister smiled and waved her hand: "The food at home is already busy, and you comrades have a good chat, don't bother."

After saying that, the group of people all left, and Xu Da hurried over to see them off.

Lin Hui looked at the group of women who left talking and laughing, and sighed in his heart: "The people in the mountains are still simple. Compared with the intrigue in the city, the mountains are better."

After a while, Xu Da came back.

Lin Hui asked curiously, "Where's your mother?"

Xu Da laughed and said, "They dragged him away together."

Lin Hui was surprised: "Why don't you have dinner together?"

Xu Da said embarrassingly: "People in the mountains are not very good at talking. She was afraid of disturbing us, so she went to the neighbor's house."

The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little sorry.

People in the mountains may have less cultural knowledge, but they have a much higher level of morality than people in the city.

"Sit down, don't be stunned, the food in our mountains is simple, no better than outside."

"If I had been notified earlier, I would have invited you to eat in the county. It would definitely be better than this."

Lin Hui waved his hand: "Well, the original taste is delicious, um~ it's delicious!"

Xu Da laughed, and the four started immediately.

He took out the rice wine brewed at home.

For the whole jar, the four of them ate very happily.

Satisfied with wine and food, Wang Yong wiped his mouth with satisfaction on his face: "This is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten."

Chen Erhu burped: "Although my family has everything, but compared with yours, it's, it's almost meaningless."

Xu Da laughed: "You guys have gone to hell today, and you came to help me with work. You have already put your chest on your back, and the food must be delicious. Isn't this the same as eating big pot meals in the army?"

Lin Hui laughed: "You can't eat such a good taste in the army. Your meal is to continue your life. We were almost gone just now, and now we are alive again!"

Several people all laughed.

Lin Hui looked at Xu Da and found something meaningful hidden in his smile.

He asked softly: "Old squad leader, do you have any difficulties?"

The two bastards were also stunned, and looked at Xu Da together.

Xu Da shook his head: "There is no difficulty. Although the conditions in the mountains are poor, you have also seen that the new year is better and everyone is self-sufficient."

"Although you can't eat meat every day, you can eat meat every now and then, so there's nothing wrong with it, hahaha."

The three of Lin Hui looked at each other, and they all saw that Xu Da seemed to have something in his words.

The three looked at Xu Da silently.

Xu Da laughed for a while, seeing the eyes of the three staring at him, he suddenly felt embarrassed: "What's wrong with you, why are you looking at me like this?"

Lin Hui looked at him seriously: "Old squad leader, if you have something to say, just say it, we are all comrades in arms together, can we not see that you are thinking?"

Wang Yong nodded: "Yes, let's be honest, we are not outsiders."

Chen Erhu followed suit: "If there is any difficulty, we can help."

The smile on Xu Da's face slowly faded, he picked up the remaining rice wine in the bowls of the people next to him, poured it all into a bowl, and drank it clean with his head raised.

Then he put down the bowl, took a deep breath and looked at the three of them, finally his eyes fell on Lin Hui's face: "Leader, I'm sorry."

Lin Hui was stunned: "What can you do to me?"

Xu Da said bitterly: "I...may not be able to go back with you."

"What?" The three of them looked at him in astonishment.

Xu Da looked at Lin Hui with a wry smile on his face: "Leader, I want to change my job and come back."
