The most beautiful life is the army

After conferring the title, time seems to press the fast-forward button, and the pace has sped up all of a sudden.Within a few days, everyone found that the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer to them.

When celebrating New Year's Day, it is the first holiday after everyone leaves home, and the meaning of celebrating Spring Festival is different from New Year's Day.It turns out that everyone may not spend New Year's Day at home. For example, when you were in the third year of high school, you were very nervous about studying, so you might not go home for New Year's Day.But no matter how abnormal the school is, it will take a few days off during the Spring Festival.

Because the Spring Festival is a day for family reunion.This is a tradition for thousands of years, and it is also a concept rooted in people's minds.But this year, the recruits are destined not to be able to go home for the Spring Festival.

Unable to reunite with their families, recruits who have never been away from home for such a long time feel a little bit missing their families.So on this weekend, there were more recruits waiting in line to call home.

Li Wanting and Zhang Xiaomao were also among the people in line.Zhang Xiaomao is purely homesick, while Li Wanting's mood is a bit complicated.He also misses his family, but this family is something he deliberately wants to forget.In order to better forget, he lined up with Zhang Xiaomao and poured his longing for his family on the pair of parents who had never met.

The phone connected, after it rang again.The familiar voice came again from the other end of the phone: "Is Tingting? Are you on vacation today?"

Now that Li Wanting heard this voice again, he already felt very cordial: "Mom, we are on vacation today. We have already conferred titles two days ago."

"Title?" The mother on the other end of the phone didn't understand what was going on.Li Wanting explained to his mother, and the mother on the other end of the phone felt very distressed: "Then if you fail the training, won't you be awarded... the title? Does that mean you have to go back home? "

"No, no," Li Wanting hurriedly explained to his mother: "At most, when the company is under the company, the assigned unit is not a combat unit. Also, the squad leader will lead more training. When we pass the assessment, we will be able to pass the test." OK."

It was obvious that the mother on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.Li Wanting laughed silently on the phone, saying that he felt sorry for the parents all over the world. Every pair of parents worried about their children in the same way.

Li Wanting said to the phone: "Mom, on the day we were awarded the title, the propaganda officer in the division took a lot of photos for us. The photos have been edited, and I think I took them very energetically. I have already sent them to you. It might be just in time for the Chinese New Year when I take it.” Just let those photos accompany you during the Chinese New Year.

Li Wanting didn't say such words, but his eyes were a little moist.The mother on the other end of the phone first scolded him: "Give yourself to the smug." Then there was a long silence.

After a long time, my mother asked: "If it's the Spring Festival, can you have a holiday?"

Li Wanting nodded on the other end of the phone, and thought that his mother would not be able to see him, so he said, "Well, I can have three days off, and I don't have to do morning exercises."

The mother on the other end of the phone was also happy for him: "That's great. Go out and buy some delicious food by yourself, don't be afraid to spend money. You are the only one in our family. Don't keep thinking about saving money. Don't give us any more money." After sending the money, we have nowhere to spend it.”

How could there be no place to spend money.Even if Li Wanting has never lived in the countryside, he knows that the current countryside is no longer a self-sufficient place where men farm and women weave.But his mother's concern made his heart warm and soft, and he said to the phone: "I don't save it. Our place is quite far from the city, and there is no place to buy things. We don't need to spend our own money for meals. Besides And there's dinner."

Just talking like this, the phone was full of warmth, which made Li Wanting reluctant to let go.But the time is limited, and there are still people waiting behind. He said into the microphone: "Mom, there are people waiting to call later. I will call you on the day of the Spring Festival."

Mom's voice trembled a little: "Okay, let it go. Don't forget to call Mom when the time comes."

"Well, I know." Li Wanting said goodbye to his mother, and put down the microphone sadly.

The recruits outside the phone booth saw Li Wanting put down the receiver and walked in impatiently. Li Wanting smiled apologetically at him, because he had been on the phone for a long time.The recruit also smiled back. They are all away from home, and they can understand that they spend a little longer on the phone with their families.

Zhang Xiaomao also finished the phone call, and complained to Li Wanting: "You have been on the phone for so long. What did you say to your mother?"

"It's nothing, just talking about our awarding titles and sending her photos. By the way, how is your father's health?" Li Wanting asked with concern.

Brother Xiao Mao was in a good mood: "I said that I went to the hospital in the area last time, and the results were quite good, and the medicine prescribed was also effective. Now the condition has stabilized."

Li Wanting was also happy for him: "That's good, as long as people are good, they are better than anything else."

Yes, those who are at home miss those who go out, and those who leave home don't miss their parents at home.Especially as they grow up day by day, it means that their parents are getting older day by day, which is even more worrying.

"Let's go, we have to do laundry when we go back." Zhang Xiaomao reminded Li Wanting who was still unwilling to leave, if he didn't want to leave, and if he kept holding the microphone, could he see his family?It's better to go back and do laundry.

Li Wanting laughed silently. What was he thinking just now? Look at Brother Mao, he usually doesn’t look very smart, but he can grasp the essence in time: Since you can’t go home for the New Year, then live your own life well. Year!How many soldiers can go home for the New Year?Forget that the troops are ready for battle every holiday?Combat readiness depends on being in place. How many people have served in the army for 20 years and can live at home for five years are considered to be taken care of by the unit.

"Come on, let's do the laundry." Li Wanting nodded, and remembered that his washing powder seemed to be gone, so he dragged Zhang Xiaomao to the service agency: "Come and buy washing powder with me first."

In the entire camp, there was still an atmosphere of approaching the Chinese New Year.Even the people in the service agency came more than usual, and there were a lot more goods in it.Li Wanting just picked up a bag of washing powder, and didn't even go near the place where the fruit was sold.He has fully adjusted to his life as a male soldier.

For example, as a male soldier, his strength is much stronger than that of a female soldier. Clothes that could not be wrung out in the past can be almost wrung three times or two.Looking at the clothes that were no longer dripping in his hands, Li Wanting hung them up carefully.

After a while, another drop of water fell from the hung clothes.Li Wanting recalled himself as a female soldier, and the scene when he washed clothes for the first time in the recruit company: At that time, he had just walked out of his mother's arms, and he didn't know how many times to wash thick clothes, but the soap was not clean. I didn't dare to claim the dried clothes, thinking that someone else had taken my clothes away, and yelled anxiously.

Not anymore.Needless to say him, even the original owner's own memory is enough for him to know the truth that washing powder is better for rinsing.Shaking his head, he let go of his own thoughts, still like Brother Xiao Mao, focusing on the present is the most real thing.

For example, if you listen to the singing, dialogue, and musical instruments that come out from time to time in the corridor, it means that the comrades who are preparing for the Spring Festival Gala of the brigade are rehearsing.It is not easy to have a large chunk of free time, and the comrades who want to participate in the performance are racing against the clock to make their programs better.

"Quick, come in quickly." Seeing Li Wanting appearing at the door of the dormitory, Zhang Ziyang greeted him: "Come and eat apples, I just bought them at the service agency."

Seeing the irrepressible smile on Zhang Ziyang's face, Li Wanting asked with some uncertainty: "Did you get through the phone?"

Zhang Ziyang gave Li Wanting a shot with his hand that didn't hold the apple: "How can you guess so accurately?"

Li Wanting laughed: "A few weeks ago, I saw you with a sad face after the phone call. It finally cleared up today, but I still can't think of it. How, this time, not only you figured it out, but she also figured it out? "

Zhang Ziyang looked at all the gossip boys in the class who were waiting for his answer with wide eyes, and said angrily: "Every little kid, don't ask about adults."

Everyone hissed in unison, but still looked at Zhang Ziyang intently.Unable to withstand everyone's pressure, Zhang Ziyang had no choice but to share the situation with everyone: "It turned out that she didn't think it through clearly. She thought we had to separate for at least two years, so she thought about it herself. But she said that after arriving at the new unit, there was no People treat her better than me, so I just answer the phone."

Hehe, the "little kids" who heard about Zhang Ziyang's love history are more likely to say these two words.They who have never been in love before, in their emotional cognition, if you look down on me, then I will leave you.They felt that Zhang Ziyang's girlfriend had turned back, and Zhang Ziyang yelled at his girlfriend without spine: "Go away!" In their eyes, he was somewhat spineless.

Li Wanting admired Zhang Ziyang for being so persistent in his feelings.Not all people can persist in calling out in the face of unresponsive feelings.Especially in this society where love is fast-food, it is a happy thing to have someone who sticks to his ideals and can get emotional response.He felt that Zhang Ziyang's smile was so bright today, he must have fallen in love with that girl.

"Then I really have to congratulate you." Li Wanting smiled at Zhang Ziyang, and took a big bite of the apple in his hand after speaking.

Zhang Ziyang still smiled: "Hurry up and get off the company. If we get off the company, although we can't go home, family members can visit relatives in the army."

Liu Dongxi suddenly yelled strangely: "Didn't you become a family member just after you got on the phone with him?"
