When Xia Yufang's reluctant tears and Xiao Mingming's light sigh hindered the crowd to restrain them, Xiao Chen still put on the big red flowers, and in the sound of the villagers' gongs and drums, in the neat salute of the student farewell team organized by the primary school in the village, he jumped on the tractor convoy in the village with his bag in tow.

Xiao Youming and Xia Yufang also followed closely behind and jumped on the convoy of the recruits' families to see them off.

All the tractors in the village were dispatched, and the high-power diesel engines were smoking in uneven layers. The villagers looked at the smoke and dust that was gradually moving away, and seemed to comment with some envy:

"This is the green smoke, these babies have gone out."

Such feudal superstitions still occupy the market in the rural areas where the popularity of science and culture is not high, and when one person spoke, everyone around him nodded in agreement. The gaze that looked at the rolling sand was mixed with a bit of envy and expectation.

Although the county seat is small, it responds to the sentence "although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs".

A railway runs through the county, although the economy of the county has been humiliated by the slogan of building roads first to get rich, but at this time when receiving troops, it seems that the county town is unique - those counties where the railway does not stop, the recruits are all cars that go to the city in advance.

The officers who received the troops and all the people in the armed forces department waited in the small square in front of the railway station, waiting for all the recruits from ten miles and eight towns to be sent one after another, Chen Guanglin signaled the officers who received the troops to start the roll call.

It was a rather chaotic process, as it was mixed with the hoarse shouts and exhortations of many parents, and even the loud howls and cries of the earth. What could be done in ten minutes by the troops was forcibly delayed for another ten minutes, and the recruits formed four squares in the small square according to their directions.

Chaotic and uneven, this is Xiao Chen's first feeling.

Fortunately, his mind was not in these places, and he found Xiao Youming in the crowd who was looking this way, and following Xiao Youming's figure, Xiao Chen saw Xia Yufang who only had half a pink scarf on top of his head.

"Baby, come to me, the baby has seen us."

Xiao Youming and Xiao Chen's eyes met, although there was no exchange of ideas in the air, Xiao Youming was extremely happy. It was a sense of joy and accomplishment in discovering the person he was looking for in a sea of people, and he really wanted to be able to share this feeling with his inner life.

Even if Xia Yufang squeezed in front of Xiao Youming, what Xiao Chen saw was only half of his face. But they could see each other, and Xia Yufang suddenly quickly adapted to this situation. She knew very well in her heart that when Xiao Chen stepped into the gate of the train station with all his peers around him, even such a meeting would be a luxury from now on.

For a while, I didn't know whether the sourness that came up from my heart or my nose instantly stimulated the devastated tear ducts, and tears the size of beans oozed from the corners of Xia Yufang's eyes.

No one laughed at her, because not only women were around, but even some soft-hearted old men were also rushing to the recruit team to find their sons and daughters at this time, and they were holding back tears in their eyes.

Chen Guanglin's speech on behalf of the county came to an end in this complicated emotional defense, and the officers who received the troops did not have so many heads-ups, and when Chen Guanglin handed over the command to them, the four teams did not hesitate and poured directly into the railway station with the open gate open.

As soon as the recruits left, the parents who sent them followed suit.

The train station, which had been deserted for most of the time, suddenly became lively and important, and after the four teams arrived at the platform in front of their respective carriages, the officers briefly disbanded the ranks and let the recruits say their final goodbyes to their families.

Xiao Youming and Xia Yufang's goals have always been clear, so as soon as the team disbanded, they took Xiao Chen's hand and came to a secluded place that they had known for a long time.

"Baby, when you get to the army, you don't have much time to call. You can write more letters to your family. ”

Xia Yufang's understanding of the recruit company seems to be beyond everyone, and relying on the education level of her junior high school education, her instructions are so direct and clear.

Instead of making phone calls, she hoped that Xiao Chen could write more letters to her family. It's better to have that letter every week, so that she has more thoughts about her life than others.

Faced with such a request, Xiao Chen naturally had no reason not to agree: "Mother, don't worry, I will write to you as soon as the conditions allow when I arrive in the army." ”

Xiao Chen's answer made Xia Yufang very satisfied, so she handed over the right to give instructions to Xiao Youming.

Xiao Youming didn't say much. Like thousands of fathers in China, he is subtle and not good at expressing his feelings. The instructions at this time are exactly the same as his instructions to Xiao Chen in the previous months, or even in the previous years:

"Baby, my father suffers so that you can live better than me. When you get to the army, do a good job, and strive for everything according to your plan, step by step, step by step. Thou art weak, and thou hast suffered a great deal of hardship in thy head. Don't be frightened by these, you just worked as a bricklayer back then, and you also came out step by step......"

Xiao Mingming's feelings exploded, but his expression was still so clumsy.

He didn't ask Xiao Chen to do anything more, just kept talking about his change from a farmer to a bricklayer, hoping that Xiao Chen could get some inspiration or some spirit from it.

It wasn't until not far away that the voices of several second-rate people sounded, and Xiao Youming's rare chatter was interrupted.

Xiao Youming, who was a little unhappy, looked back, and his face showed a little disdain, but he hid it well.

It's just that when he turned his head and wanted to continue to say something to his son, he found that Xiao Chen suddenly walked to his side and said in a voice that made him feel serious:

"Dad, there seems to be a second-rate comrade blocking my comrade-in-arms over there, I'll go over and take a look. You and Mom should go back quickly, if you have anything to say, we can contact us by letter. ”

Before Xiao Youming could stop it, Xiao Chen's figure had already rushed out.

"Why don't you stop it?"

Perhaps because of the parting, Xiao Mingming's feelings were amplified by all aspects. Seeing Xiao Chen walking in the direction of the trouble, Xiao Youming turned his head and blamed. It's just that seeing that Xia Yufang's face also showed panic, Xiao Youming still sighed in the end. But his people had already followed Xiao Chen's footsteps and went to the location of those second-rate people.

As a father, he wasn't ready to watch his son be bullied by a few gangsters.
