Rhubarb's incessant barking also made Song feel alert, and hurriedly supported Fu Xiaojian to go out to have a look.

"Xiaojian, go out and see, what's going on?"

"You know what you want me to do. Although Fu Xiaojian was unhappy, he still went out after seeing his mother's nervous appearance.

Standing on the edge of the courtyard, Fu Xiaojian saw a group of people coming here from a distance, the group of people were wearing the same clothes, the soil was green, and the steps were neat, and they didn't feel like people from this village.

"Rhubarb, come back quickly. Afraid that this dog would bite someone, Fu Xiaojian hurriedly called Rhubarb back, but no matter how Fu Xiaojian called the dog, he just didn't listen to him.

"Hey, you dog, did you come back and hear it, believe it or not, I killed you like the landlord's family killed the New Year's pig?"

The rhubarb really whimpered and returned to lie under the eaves, looking at Fu Xiaojian with grievances in his eyes. Fu Xiaojian didn't bother to care about this dog, he was so thin that even if he killed it, he wouldn't have two taels of meat.

When the group of people in front of him approached Fu Xiaojian, he realized that this was not from the army, there were almost one or twenty of them, wearing blue-green military uniforms and red five-star hats, walking towards this side step by step, everyone was carrying a marching bag, and they didn't know what was inside, their sleeves were also raised, and they were holding an axe or saw in their hands, and their faces were full of energy, and they looked very bright.

Fu Xiaojian is really envious, since he was a child, he has been very eager to be a soldier, how handsome he is to be a soldier, wearing a military uniform, carrying a rifle, full of vitality, protecting his family and defending the country. It's a pity, it's a pity, he voluntarily gave up being a soldier when he was 18, and now he has no ambition, thinking of the past Fu Xiaojian sighed, and simply didn't think about anything,

"Comrade, what are you doing in our mountains?"

The man at the head heard what seemed to be a call to them, and looked up, and saw a thatched hut on the uphill slope, and a man standing on the edge of the yard.

The man's hair was neck-length, and he was wearing a cotton shirt and pants with many patches, probably because the weather was too cold, but he put his hands crossed into the sleeves of the cotton coat.

"We are here to carry out the mission, comrade, you don't have to be nervous, it will not affect your life. The leader shouted loudly uphill.

Although you heard the other party say this, Fu Xiaojian still had doubts in his heart, "What kind of mission is there to carry out the mission? What kind of mission can this barren mountain and wilderness have?" But he couldn't ask, so he went into the house.

In the house, the Song family had almost done the cleaning, patted the dust that fell on his body with his hand, and saw his son pick up the cup on the table and began to pour water into his mouth.

"What's the matter, who is it? Don't be an animal running down from the mountain. ”

After Song asked like this, the three little ones also turned their heads and looked at Fu Xiaojian. Fu Xiaojian used his sleeve to check the water flowing under his chin.

"As a soldier, I don't know what I'm here for, I say I'm here to carry out a mission, what mission can a barren mountain and wilderness have?"

The next morning, on a sunny day, the grass of the two sheep was almost finished, and Song took Xing Youliang and Xing Youqian, who had already eaten breakfast, out to collect grass, and Xing Youyou and Fu Xiaojian were still asleep in bed. The two of them were sleeping soundly, and the rhubarb screamed again, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Is there anyone?" asked a rough male voice outside the room, causing Rhubarb to bare his teeth and hunch his back. The man waited for a long time and no one answered, but the gate was not locked, but it was hidden.

"Is anyone at home?" Fu Xiaojian was unmoved, pulled the quilt up, turned over and fell asleep again. And Xing Youyou saw that no one answered the door for a long time, so he had to get up by himself and walk towards the door with sleepy eyes.

The wooden door creaked open, but Wang Sheng only saw a small person, rubbing his misty eyes and frowning his little brows, as if someone had disturbed a good dream.

"Do you have any adults at home?"

"Yes~"

The milky voice of the little doll made Wang Sheng's heart soft, and he wanted to pick her up, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so he pinched his right hand, which was a little restless, and said gently,

"Can you take me to your family?"

Xing Youyou opened his eyes that were still a little sleepy, and a cunning light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he smiled sweetly at the bearded man in front of him,

"Okay~"

In the next room, Fu Xiaojian had already begun to snore, but Xing Youyou lifted the quilt, and Fu Xiaojian shrank his feet from the cold.

"Who, really, the important moment when people are about to lift the bride's hijab. ”

"Uncle~Uncle~" The soft and cute voice was a little aggrieved, which made Fu Xiaojian lose his temper.

"It's naughty. Fu Xiaojian pulled the quilt over and gently pinched the little face of his cute niece. But immediately I saw a tall and strong man on the side, squinted and asked,

"Aren't you the comrade you were yesterday, what's the matter with coming to our house?"

Wang Sheng replied generously when he saw that the other party asked,

"Yes, in fact, we are from the fuel battalion, I am the platoon commander of the fuel battalion Wang Sheng, I may stay in the mountains during this time, yesterday I saw a small river at the bottom of the mountain, and I wanted to borrow a bucket so that our soldiers can usually come down to fetch water to drink. ”

Hearing Wang Sheng say this, Fu Xiaojian became interested, simply got out of bed, and talked with Wang Sheng, Fu Xiaojian learned that he was the platoon commander of the fuel battalion, and this time he received an order to cut wood, and then transport the wood back to the fuel camp to be burned into steel and charcoal, and finally transported to various areas of the capital as fuel for steelmaking. This time, their task is particularly heavy, and they can't stay for a short time, and there may be other things to trouble them in the future, so they just chatted.

Fu Xiaojian rarely met a figure like a platoon commander, so he inquired about the things in the barracks.

"What, Comrade Fu, you also want to enter the barracks?" Wang Sheng asked with a smile, revealing a neat row of white teeth.

"Isn't it, I used to yearn for it when I was young, but my father beat my mother when he got drunk, and if I went to the army, my mother was afraid that he would kill me. ”

Xing Youyou, who was originally sitting on the side and was so bored that he counted his fingers, suddenly came to his senses, "It turns out that my uncle still has such ideals and ambitions when he was young, and he still has such hardships, although it seems that it doesn't matter what he usually does." ”

"So that's the case, but the man has ambitions in all directions, and if he can't be a soldier, he can always do something else, and if he can plant the crops well, it is also a contribution to the prosperity of the motherland. ”

Fu Xiaojian, who was used to being lazy, faced the bright and high-spirited Wang Sheng, although he had a little inferiority, he also felt a small spark sparkling in his heart. The person with a mouthful of white teeth on the other side made him feel like a stranger at first sight, and felt that he benefited a lot, and hurriedly invited him to stay for breakfast.

"No, no, we can't take advantage of the common people casually, besides, the soldiers on the mountain are still waiting for me, you can quickly give me the bucket." ”

Fu Xiaojian saw that people sincerely refused, so he was no longer reluctant, anyway, there was not much breakfast at home. After finding out all the buckets in the house, he went to the river with Wang Sheng to fetch water, and then helped the family to the mountain.

"I've never seen such diligent work. Xing Youyou couldn't help but start complaining when the two of them left, feeling that this uncle really had a special plot for the military camp.
