When some of the recruits returned, the instructor immediately said in a loud voice: "Comrades, go back to eat first, and then come back in the afternoon." The recruits nodded and said yes, and it took almost 20 days to install the electric lights of the nearby villagers, and a few of them were unwilling to install them, so the two instructors went together to persuade them, and finally they were installed. There are still a few days to go before the New Year, the instructor said, the installation of water pipes after the New Year, now these days to patrol everywhere, because the Spring Festival time train station, bus station, is busy.

These recruits don't have to go for the time being, they only patrol the neighborhood, and they are also looking forward to the Chinese New Year, so they can write a letter home and send it back when the time comes. Chang Wansha also thinks so, hoping that his father and grandmother will be healthy and that he will slowly get used to it here.

Unconsciously, it finally came to the day of the New Year, the two instructors were very happy, and asked a few chefs to make something delicious, so that everyone could eat better, this was the first time to celebrate the New Year outside, and it was also the first time to celebrate the New Year with so many brothers and brothers in the army, in the morning, two instructors came, let everyone sing the New Year's song together, everyone sang together, the sound spread all over the distance, after singing, the instructor still assigned the task, day and night group patrol.

At noon, everyone sat in the canteen, each person's rice bowl had a big chicken leg in it, which was usually difficult to eat, two instructors came, let everyone sing the military song of the army together, the passionate and loud singing resounded throughout the canteen, and several masters also sang together, and they couldn't go home for the New Year, but they still had to be very happy. After singing, the instructor immediately said loudly: "It's time to eat, I wish all comrades good health, family harmony, everyone eat more today, we still have to work." After all the recruits listened, they said yes out loud.

Everyone started to eat with chopsticks, took the fragrant chicken leg, began to bite it, and said while eating, it was so fragrant, it was really delicious, everyone ate with a mouth full of oil, and a smile on their faces, although it was hard, but the heart was very steady, after Chang Wansha finished eating, he was very happy in his heart, and he used to eat chicken legs at home for the New Year.

On the day of the Chinese New Year, go out on patrol, see the nearby villagers, everyone will also say good New Year to each other, the local villagers have different customs, but they are all very happy, when they eat at night, each person has a fragrant pig's trotters, everyone eats in the mouth, sweet in the heart, and the heart is very happy. The Chinese New Year is good, although the weather is very cold.

In the evening, when he returned to the dormitory to rest, Chang Wansha looked at the sky outside the window, and in the dark night, he missed his father, grandmother, and Lanxiang a little, and he didn't know what they should eat for the New Year. Thinking of Lanxiang, Chang Wansha had no choice but to sigh, now he rarely thinks of her when he works every day, I don't know if she has gained weight? Chang Wansha thought for a while, slowly became sleepy, and immediately fell asleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year the next day, several chefs in the canteen cooked a lot of rice balls, the white and fat rice balls are really good in the bowl, each person has ten in the bowl, and then go to call to eat after eating, the rice balls are breaded with a lot of sugar, which is made by the masters themselves, and they usually rarely eat, two instructors came, and said to everyone, Happy New Year, everyone immediately said Happy New Year, after eating, everyone quickly stood up, gathered in the courtyard outside, the instructor immediately divided the task, or patrol, after the eighth day of the first month, officially started, to do other things。

In this way, three months passed, and there would be a day off for each exam, and when Zhou Yinglan was on vacation, she would go out of school, go out by car to every place, find the community there, continue to look for her mother, and went to different places 4 times in a row, and asked the security guard brother there, they all asked her to wait next to her, unwilling to help her find it, she had to stand next to her, looking at the people entering and leaving the community with glasses, and still didn't see her mother, Zhou Yinglan was a little disappointed. Every time she goes back to school, she cheers herself up, and she has already walked four places, maybe next time she will see her mother.

Sometimes she thinks: Is my mother no longer in this city, should I go to the newspaper to look for her? It's just that now I have to go to class every day, and I don't have time, and when class ends this afternoon, the teacher said that the winter vacation is coming soon, so let everyone remember to write their homework well, and I wish everyone to go back and have a good New Year. After returning to the dormitory in the evening, several other students asked each other, do you want to go home now? They immediately nodded and said yes, and Zhou Yinglan also nodded and said yes.

At the end of the semester, the grades were not bad, each homework was more than 70 points, usually when the exam, a little less, Zhou Yinglan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and when she went home to see her father, it would be better, and several classmates in the dormitory immediately said that she was going to buy a train ticket tomorrow, and asked Zhou Yinglan to go with her, she nodded and said okay, call her father first. Immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the landline at home, it was already half past seven in the evening, and my father was already at home.

Zhou Yinglan immediately told him, her father nodded and said okay, she must be careful when she takes the car, don't take the wrong car, she immediately nodded and said yes. Dad told her to put on thick clothes, and now that the weather is cold, she immediately nodded and said yes. The father and daughter hung up the phone after discussing it. Those who had mobile phones with several of their classmates also called home, and those who did not have mobile phones immediately borrowed their mobile phones and made a call to their home, but there were three classmates in their dormitory who did not.

After everyone made the call, it was already half past eight in the evening, thinking that they were going to buy tickets tomorrow, and after a few people were busy, they hurried to bed early.

At seven o'clock the next morning, the alarm clock rang, Zhou Yinglan and the others got up immediately, brushed their teeth and washed their faces, locked the door, went downstairs together, walked to the school store, everyone bought a loaf, paid the money, put on their backpacks, took out their student IDs, registered with the security guard, and after registration, they walked out of the school gate together.

Came to the opposite side of the road, walked to the bus stop, stood there and waited for the bus, after a while, the X14 bus came, they asked the master clearly, quickly got on the bus, bought a ticket, found a place to sit down, there were more people on the bus, there were many students in this school to buy tickets together today, I heard them discuss.

After the bus drove for more than half an hour, it finally arrived at the station, the master reported the name of the station, they quickly got off the bus, after getting off the bus, they looked around, a few kilometers in front of the opposite road is the xx railway station, they are still a little impressed. Hurry up to the sidewalk, wait until it's green, and cross the street together. After crossing the road, walking to the front, there are many people on the street, many people walking in the direction of the train station, it is almost the New Year, and some people want to go home. They hurried to the front, and after a while, they finally came to the door of the hall.

There were a lot of people inside, the seats in the hall were already full, the sound was a little noisy, and when I went in, there were a lot of people queuing up to buy tickets, there were dozens of long queues, and they immediately sighed: "There are so many people, it will take a long time to buy, let's still line up." A few classmates nodded yes, found a place, and lined up together.

Time 1 minute and 1 second passed, and after waiting for more than an hour, it was only when they arrived, Zhou Yinglan immediately took out his ID card, gave it to the staff who sold the ticket, and told him the address, the staff immediately checked it on the computer, after checking, said the time and price, Zhou Yinglan nodded and said Okay, immediately bought one, took out his wallet, and paid the money, and now the ticket is dozens of yuan more than before.

After the six students lined up to buy it, they put the tickets away, walked out of the door of the hall, and said as they walked, the price has increased now, and in a few days, it will go up a little bit. Train tickets have risen a little less, and bus tickets will have a price a day in the future, and everyone knows this market. That's all I can do to get home. Several people crossed the street together, walked to the bus stop, and prepared to take the bus back to school.

When the bus came, they hurriedly got on, and more than half an hour later, the bus arrived at the station, and they quickly got off. It was almost half past eleven, so they went to the school cafeteria, and after a look, they had no cooking, so they had to go out and go to the school shop, where they bought some biscuits, bread, and mineral water, and they were going to take the bus tomorrow. When the time comes, I will eat a little bit in the car. After everyone has chosen, they line up to pay.

After paying, a few people carried their things back to their dormitories, sat on their beds, took out their tickets, and took a closer look at whether it was morning or afternoon? After reading, several classmates told each other that they were not locals, and Zhou Yinglan's train ticket was at 12 o'clock at noon, and they had already bought motion sickness medicine, took out bread, and sat there and began to eat. There will be a period of time when you can't see each other, and you tell each other that you will have a good journey and get home soon. When school starts, arrive at school a little early.

After eating, I hurriedly packed my clothes into a bag, put the quilt here, cleaned the dormitory, and after I was done, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, I sat down to rest for a while, took out the biscuits and began to eat, I was about to see my parents, I was very happy in my heart, and asked each other, do you want to go to my relatives when the time comes? Everyone said yes, anyway, hurry up and get to school early.

After eating, everyone brushed their teeth and washed their faces, and after being busy, they went to bed early.

At seven o'clock the next morning, the alarm clock rang, Zhou Yinglan got up immediately, brushed her teeth and washed her face, ate the bread, took the motion sickness medicine, and after cleaning up, she said goodbye to them with her backpack and a duffel bag, they nodded and said okay, they would leave later. Zhou Yinglan immediately walked out of the dormitory, walked to the school gate, took out her student ID card to register with the security guard, and after registering, she walked out of the school and walked to the opposite bus stop.
