A plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, a plate of spicy and sour shredded potatoes, a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts and a plate of cabbage stew.

Sun Xiuju handed Xia Meng a white flour bun and a bowl of millet porridge, "Eat more, treat this as your own home, and don't be polite."

"Well," Xia Meng took the steamed bun, "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be full."

Chang Wei sat opposite Xia Meng, but kept his face red and lowered his head, not daring to raise his head to look at Xia Meng.

"You brat," Sun Xiuju couldn't help but slap Chang Wei on the forehead when she saw her son's behavior, "Look up."

Chang Wei raised his head with a blushing face. As soon as his eyes met Xia Meng's, he quickly looked away. His eyes rolled nervously and he didn't dare to say anything.

Xia Meng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of egg and put it into her mouth. The egg was tender and smooth, and had a fragrant home-cooked taste.

Sun Xiuju, "Is it delicious?"

Xia Meng nodded, "Yeah, it's delicious."

Sun Xiuju smiled happily, "If it tastes good, eat more."

The portions of several dishes were quite large. Xia Meng ate two large steamed buns and two bowls of rice, which was more than Chang Weidu.

Sun Xiuju's face turned into a smile.

After dinner, Xia Meng wanted to help wash the pots and dishes, but Sun Xiuju refused to do so.

Chang Wei sat on the sofa after eating, glancing at Xia Meng from time to time, his eyes full of shy confusion.

Sun Xiuju saw Chang Wei sitting there, looked at the time, and kicked Chang Wei lightly.

"Go to school quickly, you'll be late."

"Hey," Chang Wei responded dully, stood up reluctantly, picked up his schoolbag, moved slowly, and peeked at Xia Meng with reluctant eyes.

"Chang Wei," Xia Meng suddenly spoke and called Chang Wei's name with a slight smile.

Chang Wei felt a surge of electricity from his tailbone and hit his brain directly. His whole body was numb and his face was blushing, which was now completely red.

Xia Meng didn't expect this young man to be so shy, so he chuckled, "I heard from your mother that you want to get into the military academy, right?"

Chang Wei's mind went blank, he only nodded blankly with a red face, and subconsciously said 'hmm'.

The smile in Xia Meng's eyes deepened, "Come on!"

A surge of pride suddenly rose in Chang Wei's chest, and instantly spread to his limbs. At this moment, his body seemed to be injected with an invisible force, "Yeah!"

After Chang Wei nodded heavily, his eyes brightened, he turned around and went to school stupidly.

Seeing her son's rare fighting spirit, Sun Xiuju smiled from ear to ear and couldn't help but speak for her son.

"My son is a very nice person. Xiaomeng, how many years do you want to wait for him?"

Xia Meng smiled and shook his head, "You better stop teasing me."

After sitting for a while, Xia Meng stood up to leave. Sun Xiuju pulled Xia Meng with a look of reluctance and warned her with worry, her expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

"You young people have never seen a real battlefield."

"The battlefield is very cruel," Sun Xiuju's voice was slightly hoarse with sadness. "You must be alert at all times. When you get there, write a letter to your aunt. If you need anything, don't be polite. I bought it and asked someone to deliver it to you."

Xia Menghui held Sun Xiuju's hand and said, "Okay!"

Everyone gathered in the afternoon, each carrying a suitcase, standing in the playground and queuing up to get on a bus.

After getting in the car, Wang Xiaochun sat next to Xia Meng and lowered his voice and said to Xia Meng,

"I heard that two cadres' sons didn't come, saying they were transferred due to job transfers."

Having said this, Wang Xiaochun sneered, his tone was very disdainful,

"What about job transfer? Isn't it just the fear of becoming a deserter?"

Xia Meng asked curiously, "Who are those two people?"

Wang Xiaochun thought for a while, "One is Gao Feng, and the other one I don't know."

After saying that, he said angrily, "Even Ma Shanshan didn't flinch, but these two grown men were scared."

"It's really worthless!"

"Humph!"

Xia Meng nodded in agreement.

The bus took them to the train station and changed trains on the way. Two days later, they finally arrived at the border.

Soldiers in military uniforms can be seen everywhere in the small border town. The atmosphere is inexplicably tense. Dark clouds are looming in the sky, and there is an inexplicable sense of oppression that the dark clouds are crushing the city.

It was already evening when they arrived at the small border town. They would rest in the small town tonight, and tomorrow they would take a bus to the front line.

After riding the train for two days, Xia Meng felt fine after drinking several glasses of spiritual spring water every day, while the others had backaches and looked tired.

They were arranged to rest in tents in the military camp.

The tent was set up in an open space. The ground was soft soil, and occasionally weeds that had not been cleared away could be seen.

There were rows of double beds in the tent, and the bedding had been laid out. Xia Meng put her suitcase away, found a lower bunk, sat on it, lay on it and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go," Wang Xiaochun walked over to Xiameng, "Let's go eat first."

"Well," Xia Meng stood up and followed Wang Xiaochun to the restaurant.

On the way there, Xia Meng deliberately lowered the brim of her hat, but no one stared at her anymore.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Xia Meng and Wang Xiaochun took lunch boxes to get food.

There were many people in the restaurant, and Xia Meng saw Chen Siyan wandering around Ma Shanshan again, laughing and trying to please Ma Shanshan, who had a cold attitude.

While waiting in line for food, Chen Siyan saw Xia Meng, paused in her steps, and gave Xia Meng a slightly embarrassed smile. She waited until there were more people in the queue before she dared to stand in the back and put some distance between herself and Xia Meng.

If Chen Siyan didn't act like a monster, Xia Meng wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.

The rice is white rice, and the vegetables are a few fried vegetables and a meat dish.

They had plenty of time and ate slowly, but some of the soldiers sitting next to them ate very quickly and devoured their food. As soon as they finished eating, they hurried out and the whistle of an emergency assembly soon came from outside.

Camp trucks came and went, and materials and people were continuously transported to the front line.

You can even faintly hear the sound of gunfire in the distance.

After dinner, under the leadership of Tian Li, everyone went to the simple bathhouse to take a simple bath. Tian Li told everyone,

"Go back to the tent and take the time to rest. We will set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

Everyone, "Yes!"

Back in the tent, many people lay on the bed tiredly and fell asleep quickly.

At dawn the next day, everyone was awakened by the whistle of the emergency assembly. They quickly put on their clothes, packed their things, went to wash up, and then loaded up their belongings and got on the big truck.

Xia Meng was sitting at the back of the truck, with a military-green shed built on top of the truck bed. Wang Xiaochun cuddled up against Xia Meng, feeling drowsy.

The road gradually became rough, the car bumped violently, and the sound of gunfire became louder and louder as the distance got closer...

At almost noon, they finally reached the front line.

The atmosphere on the front line became more urgent. Xia Meng even saw a few large trucks passing by, and a faint smell of burnt and rotten barbecue entered his nose. This was...

Soon, Xia Meng saw the car stop. A group of nurses in white coats rushed up, as if they were used to it, and took out the charred soldiers inside. There were also doctors shouting from the side,

"The one who is saved first! The one who is saved first!"
