Lan City, Long Province.

Chengguan District.

Chengdong Bus Station.

A young man in a military uniform, burly, the whole person looked energetic, his eyes were resolute, there was no expression on his face, he sat upright in the waiting hall, and the military rank on his shoulders attracted attention.

The epaulettes belong to the Southern Field Theater and the Imperial Capital Division, and the symbol of the forbidden army is the Dragon Bird Forbidden Army, symbolizing that he is the commander of the Long Live Army, and he is sitting there with a calm expression, this person is Xu Guoqing who is preparing to leave Lan City.

On the 27th, he accompanied Chen Lei on an inspection tour to inspect the combat capability of the Longque Forbidden Army and the localities in the Longxing Sub-district, to make an assessment, and to put forward guiding opinions on their training.

After accompanying the inspection, Xu Guoqing filled in the relevant materials in accordance with the regulations, got Chen Lei's consent, bought today's ticket to go home, and is now waiting for the train.

The main reason is that Xu Guoqing has been in the army for three years and has not returned home once, so Chen Lei made a decision to allow him to go home to visit relatives, and the other is that Chen Lei plans to explore the whereabouts of the dead dragon vein by himself.

At 9:45, Xu Guoqing finally checked the ticket and took the car, leaving Lanshi along the urban road, the drive took a total of eight hours, and he could return home by taking the vehicle, along the way, he was very immersed.

Without smiling, the whole person exudes a deterrent force, believing that this is the majesty brought by the forbidden army and military uniforms, which makes people involuntarily feel awe in their hearts, and sitting next to him is a middle-aged man, who always secretly looks at Xu Guoqing's epaulettes with his eyes.

"Doll, which division, my son is also a soldier. The middle-aged man sat all the way in the car, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth and asked curiously.

"Oh, uncle, I serve in the Imperial Capital Division. Xu Guoqing opened his mouth and said with a warm smile.

"I'm already a major at a young age, and I really have a bright future. The middle-aged man sighed with emotion and said.

"This is the important task entrusted to me by the motherland and the people!" Xu Guoqing's face was full of solemnity, and he responded seriously.

In Xu Guoqing's worldview, he believes that the most important thing is the country and the people, which is what he learned on the second day of stepping into the recruit company, so he will never forget it, and he has always followed this truth in his heart.

It is also some truths taught to him by Chen Lei, the governor of Kyushu, when he becomes a school official, it means that the responsibility is heavier, and the obligations to be borne must be fulfilled.

"Doll, are you going home to visit relatives this time?" the middle-aged man continued to wrap on, and the smile on his face was even worse.

"Well, yes. Xu Guoqing's tone was calm.

Looking at the scenery outside the car and constantly moving away from him, the endless yellow earth made him look full of kindness, and his eyes couldn't help but squint, his sister should be about to graduate from high school now, and she will take the college entrance examination this year, and her father and mother should be safe at home.

His father is a truck driver, his mother is a housewife, and the family's financial resources are all dependent on his father to run freight transportation, working hard for him and getting out of high school, and finally being admitted to a junior college in the province, and his father has not blamed him.

Just let him go on the path of his grandfather, go to the local armed forces department to sign up for the army, after various strict audits, he finally successfully joined the army, was assigned to a certain forbidden army in the imperial capital sub-district, after leaving home, there is very little contact with the family.

I remember that my mother also had a lot of diseases at that time, but there was no treatment, just because the family was poor, and she had to provide for her sister to finish college, and her allowance was also a drop in the bucket.

Leaving the car with thousands of thoughts, he had already returned home, eight hours of not eating or drinking, Xu Guoqing sat in the car with his eyes closed, did not play with his mobile phone, did not do anything, and his concentration was abnormal, which made people have to admire.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Guoqing finally stepped into the boundary of Jing County, after the vehicle entered the station, got off the train to eat a bowl of mutton steamed buns opposite the station, and prepared to go home, the safety situation of the whole county is still good.

Since Xu Guoqing got off the car, there were a lot of eyes on him, after all, he was the commander of the forbidden army at the school level, in this small county, it was rare, he walked on the road, the way home was quite familiar, and he got off the central road of the county.

Xu Guoqing's home is in the urban village of the county seat, which is located in the old ditch of the county hospital, Xu Guoqing spent more than ten minutes, and when he arrived at the place, he found that there was no family in the original rented place.

Just when Xu Guoqing was about to leave, a figure appeared in his field of vision, it was the original neighbor of his family, he stood in Xu Guoqing, staring at him for a long time with some uncertainty.

"Hey, aren't you the Xu Guoqing of the Xu family?" The middle-aged woman was a little unsure, the thin little boy who used to be had grown up to be burly, with a heroic spirit.

"Well, yes, auntie, do you know where my parents went?" Xu Guoqing was a little puzzled and said.

"Don't you know? They moved out two years ago, and your village was demolished, and all of them lived in buildings, and they no longer lived here. The middle-aged woman continued, her expression full of heat.

The building can mean four or five hundred thousand nowadays, the price is expensive, but it is not something that ordinary people can live in, so when it comes to living in a building, they can't help but feel envious, this kind of thinking is deep in the bone marrow, it is difficult to change, the living atmosphere of the county is like this, Xu Guoqing is very clear.

Xu Guoqing was happy when he heard this, which meant that when he left, the family's life became better, which made the worry in his heart easier, and he didn't plan to call, but he still decided to call home.

"Then thank you, auntie, I'll leave first if I have something. When he finished saying this, Xu Guoqing spoke calmly, with a warm smile on his face.

So he left the vicinity of the county hospital, and when he left there, he called home back, and after a long time, the phone at home was connected, and his mother did not have a mobile phone, so he could only call his father.

"Hey, Dad, where are you?" After the phone was connected, Xu Guoqing spoke, his nose sour.

Speaking of not seeing the old man for three years, I really miss it very much, there was a heavy gasp on the other end of the phone, Xu Guoqing knew that it seemed that his father should be working, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, Guoqing, what's wrong with you?Is there anything wrong with the call?Are you okay in the army?" The person on the other end of the phone tried to calm down his breathing, and finally asked, Xu Guoqing couldn't help but flash his father's back in his mind.

Not tall, emaciated, and meticulous in doing things with his body, indeed, his father is gradually getting older, and he has lived up to his prime, Xu Guoqing couldn't help but feel sad, and said: "Dad, it's okay, I'm going back to the county, our leaders allowed me to take a vacation, and I'm near the county hospital now." ”

"What??son, are you home?!" Xu Guoqing's father was very surprised by his son's appearance, after all, the family hadn't seen each other for three years, not for a day or two, so naturally he missed his son.

"Yes, Dad, where are you working now?" he was still asking where his father was working.

"I'm here near the farm yard, pulling up a couple of billboards. Xu Guoqing's father spoke.

"Then you wait, I'll come by car right away. After saying this, Xu Guoqing hung up the phone.

He waved a taxi on the road, and after getting in the car, he said, "Comrade, go to the Agricultural Machinery Institute." ”

"Young man, at such a young age, he really has a bright future. The driver glanced at the Janissary Commander in his car with some surprise.

Seeing that the age of this forbidden army is only twenty, but he is already a senior commander at the school level, it is really surprising, for this matter, Xu Guoqing just calmly thanked him, and did not say much about other words, reflecting the coldness that a forbidden army should have.

Seeing that Xu Guoqing was reluctant to explain, the driver drove him to the place, got out of the car and paid a fare of five yuan, and was ready to look for his father.

When he arrived near the Agricultural Machinery Institute, Xu Guoqing saw his father's light truck at a glance, the familiar license plate number, and the printing shop, where there were several huge billboards, Xu Guoqing's father and several clerks were making billboards, looking very busy and sweating profusely.

After crossing the road and quietly walking there, Xu Fuqing, who was serious and busy, did not notice this, after Xu Guoqing, who was tall and tall, walked over, it caught the eye, a young school-level commander, who was rare in the county, and now appeared in front of others.

"Dad. Countless thoughts finally turned into such a word, listening to this familiar voice, Xu Fuqing trembled slightly, and turned around a little incredulously, it turned out that his son did not lie to him.

"National Day!" Xu Fuqing turned around and saw this angular but still familiar face of his son, his expression was full of surprise.

"Why are you back?!" Xu Fuqing was still a little incredulous.

"On a mission, I went to the Longsheng sub-district yesterday, and the commander allowed me to go home to visit my family. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Guoqing's mouth, looking very simple.

"Lao Xu, your son?" At this moment, the owner of the printing shop walked out and stared at the major in disbelief.

He just heard Xu Fuqing say that his son was going to be a soldier, but he didn't know that he was the commander of the forbidden army, and looking at it like this, it was by no means so simple, he couldn't help laughing: "Old Xu, it's hidden deep enough, and his sons are all majors." ”

"Major?" Listening to the words of the owner of the printing shop, Xu Fuqing noticed the rank on his son's shoulder, major, for Xu Fuqing, this is a high-ranking official, he never thought that three years later, his son would also become such a person.

"Son, this is?!" Xu Fuqing stared at Xu Guoqing suspiciously, and said.

Xu Guoqing's face showed a hint of a smile and said, "The achievements of the war." ”
