Don't ask me where I'm from

My hometown is far away

Why wandering

Wandering far away --- wandering

For the birds that fly in the sky

For a stream that flows clearly in the mountains

For the sake of the wide steppe

Wandering far away --- wandering

And --- and more

For the olive tree in your dreams olive tree

Don't ask me where I'm from

My hometown is far away

Why wandering

Why wander far away

For the sake of dreams

olive

—————————— Sanmao's "Olive Tree"

After the knot is solved, Yunsu's life will come alive, and the way to become a soldier has been determined, and the repetition here has become an empty talk, and it can no longer restrain Yunsu's heart to let go of himself. So, from the second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yunsu basically didn't read the re-reading materials seriously, as soon as he had time, he pulled Lao Kang, Da Linzi and they got together, either in and out of the game room, or a few people talked about life together, talked about ideals, talked about young sisters, young people in the period of strong hormone secretion can't do anything without the word woman, go out to play to see the young lady, chat to brag about the young sister they have met, now they want to go to the army, a few years locked up in the black barracks, there is no colorful" The life of the young lady "is empty and soulless." What's more, who doesn't have a fairy sister in their hearts, growing up with them every day.

Yunsu also has it, he liked the class president at that time when he was in elementary school, but unfortunately it is not a level of people, the primary school is not finished, the class leader is too good in all subjects, and entered junior high school in advance, and Yunsu because he can't keep up with his studies, he stayed in the grade......

When I was in middle school, the study committee of their class was a descendant of educated youth, a native of Modu, in the early years, because of the parents' support for the construction of Q City, he stayed in the small city, and the little sister was born here, but the blood of the people is different, and the speech and demeanor from the inside to the outside reveal a beautiful temperament of everyone, for the boys in the class, it is tantamount to a Ganoderma lucidum, which is inserted in the top of the five mountains with fairy energy, and can not be blasphemed from a distance.

But Yunsu likes to harass her, find a question to ask her after class, after school, find a reason, follow her, at that time it was all a phoenix bicycle, who can't catch up with a female "strongman" who is powerless. In the next three years, Yunsu was warned by the head teacher because of the nickname for the goddess, because he was glared at by the goddess every day when he came home from school, and he was jealous of the goddess and other boys in the class and sprayed trash talk to each other, in short, the three years passed quickly, and Yunsu was a little reluctant.

Later, high school, although the goddess went to the magic capital, she never came back, but their contact was never broken, and every few months Yunsu would write a letter containing passion to the goddess of life, and the goddess would also smile back a few words, why do you say "laugh"? Because every time the goddess replies to the letter, she will help Yunsu correct some grammatical errors and correct some typos......

Later, in the army, when Yunsu was homesick, in addition to writing letters to his family, he would also write one to the goddess, and he relied on the reply letter from his family and the goddess for three months in the recruit company to survive.

Later, after getting out of the company, there were fewer letters written at home, but the letters from the goddess did not stop. This is a later story, so I won't mention it.

In order to be able to become a soldier smoothly, Yunsu's father used a lot of connections. Because of the assignment of jobs after discharge, there are still many children of ordinary people who are willing to serve as soldiers in Q City. Because of the particularity of the regional policy, Yunsu took the road of unilateral recruitment of state-owned enterprises.

Every year, Q City conscripts soldiers, and part of the quota is given to the children of employees of the largest local state-owned enterprises. On the one hand, it is to take care of the children of employees of state-owned enterprises, and on the other hand, it is also because of the large number of children of local state-owned enterprises, accounting for a large proportion of the population of Q City. Yunsu's mother is an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and she retired at home because of the restructuring of the unit. Yunsu's father won a place for Yunsu through this path.

"Dragon City? Aren't you going to the magic capital with me? At Da Linzi's house, Lao Kang sat on Da Linzi's small bed and looked at Yunsu in disbelief.

"I want to too, but I heard my dad say, he asked, there are only two places to go to the magic capital this year, one is from the city, and the other is from our side, since I am from this side, I don't have to think about it, and I heard that the city is also very background, since there is no chance, why go over there." What's more, you have won the quota here, and I am steady. Not all the same steps in any place, at most look at a few foreigners. Yun Su said casually while drinking the juice while leaning sideways on the small bed with his head on the pillow.

"Hey~ I heard that the place in Dragon City is far away, and it borders Vietnam directly west of our motherland. It's hot in the summer, so you have to pay attention to your body. In the past, Zhuge Wuhou captured Meng Shu seven times, and he was in Yun Province next door, and the climate in this place was similar, the miasma was heavy, and he drank more herbal tea, and I heard that there were many poisonous snakes over there, so you have to be careful...... "Da Linzi likes to read, especially "Three Kingdoms", people are also like Xu Shu inside, born white and clean, tall and tall, but there are many words, and it will be endless when it clicks.

"Okay, I know you care, don't say it, if you keep talking, I don't dare to go." Yun Su hurriedly interrupted Da Linzi's lip and tongue.

"Don't always say that the two of us are leaving, what are you going to do?" Yun Su moved the ground to Da Linzi, who had been standing there for a long time, and motioned for him to sit down, Da Linzi looked at his small bed, froze for a moment, thought about it or leaned down, three and a half young men, squeezed into a single bed, and the small bed squeaked aggrievedly.

"What can I think, I'll go to college first. As you know, last month my mom found me someone and found a place in our first middle school for me to continue studying. Originally, I still wondered why Longmen learned well, why spend this unjust money, and only when I went back did I know that this year I drew a few old teachers to tutor us, and it is estimated that it is related to our batch of old students who are unwilling to go after taking the three exams, and I want to strengthen them to see if they can earn more face points next year to enter the second book. Our school is now a key city school, and if you want to mix with a provincial key school, you must have enough admission rate of one or two books. That's how it should be. Da Linzi was still worried that his little bed would not survive today, so he stood up against the wall, turned around and pulled a chair and sat down.

"Have you thought about what to study? I heard that when I entered university, I was going to choose a major to study, and I didn't want to study mathematics, physics and chemistry any more than in high school. Lao Kang sat up and put the juice bottle on the bedside table and said.

"Why are you thinking about it so much, are you tired, I see that these review materials are too big now, and I really don't want to think about it. But you're different from me, I'm still in the academy, and if I go to college, I'll be counted as a Hanlin Academy at most. But if you become a soldier, it is equivalent to entering the martial arts hall, which is very glorious. In the past, the lecture hall of the Whampoa Military Academy cultivated many people who saved the country and how many generals. Da Linzi looked at Yunsu and said jokingly.

"You can pull it down, still talk about martial arts, but also general, brother, I have no way to live here, my brain is not good, so I can't take this Hanlin road that is only high in reading, so I go to mix the martial arts, if I was serious, if my father had started to urge me to study six years earlier, I would also be willing to be a Hanlin." At least you don't have to go to Dragon City to suffer. Yun Su glanced at Da Lin Zi angrily, and sucked up the juice with a snort.

"Let's go~ Don't bother your old man's champion and first, Lao Tzu will go back first, or your queen mother Lafayette will come back and see you here to accompany our two veteran ruffians to brag and brag about it, and I have to force you to drink cod liver oil and eat walnut kernels. By the way, Three Kingdoms, I took it away, anyway, I'll be idle, go home and see how Second Master Guan subdues Diao Chandi. Qiang Qiang Qiang~" Yun Su said and picked up the "Three Kingdoms" on the table, compared the pace of the Peking Opera actors, and went out in the laughter of Da Linzi and Lao Kang.

On October 12, the weather was fine and breezy. Today is Yunsu's last day as an ordinary high school graduate, and tomorrow he will take his luggage and take the train to Longcheng to the barracks and run towards the unknown future.

That night, Yunsu's father drank too much wine very rarely, and went to bed before nine o'clock. Afterwards, I heard my mother say that it was because she was reluctant to give up her son and didn't want to watch the palm-sized baby leave her side like this. So it's a rare choice to escape from reality. I used to hear my mother say that my father had encountered wolves in the wild when he was young, and he had encountered leopards when he went to the countryside.

Where would Yunsu believe this, he felt that since he was a child, what impressed him the most was his father's slap. Yunsu always felt that a man who could attack his son so heavily was not a master, if you have the ability, you go out and be ruthless, what kind of ability is it to beat your son at home. In the future, when you have a son, you must be more reasonable, less hands-on, no, no hands.

If this man, who is not a gentleman in Yunsu's consciousness, really encounters a wolf, or a leopard is already frightened, how can he survive, naturally his mother arranges to amuse him. That night, Yunsu had a lot of dreams, including the dream of transferring to the volunteer army to visit relatives, the dream of returning from the army after two years of service, and the dream of getting married and having children, many ......

On the thirteenth, at five o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Yunsu got up, because at half past five he was to assemble at the armed forces department. So he got up early to wash up and prepare to go, and he couldn't remember the dream he had before. Yunsu's home is very close to the receiving station, and it can be walked in ten minutes. Accompanied by his mother and grandfather, Yunsu left home, and before leaving, he quietly came to his father's bed and said softly: "Dad, I'm leaving." ”

When Yunsu arrived at the receiving station in Q City, he found that there were already many young people of his age gathered in the square of the receiving station, all wearing uniforms.

Each young person is accompanied by one or more family members, and the once spacious square is now crowded.

When the time for roll call came, the receiving cadres stood on the rostrum in the square to read out the names of the recruits, and skillfully arranged for the recruits to stand in batches and regions. Soon, about half an hour or so, the work was over. Several buses drove outside the receiving station, and the receiving cadres arranged for the recruits to get on the buses in an orderly manner.
