The next day, a taxi was driving on the national highway, and Yang Luo looked out the window through the window glass, which changed too much, making Yang Luo very unfamiliar when he arrived.

The taxi in the countryside at night is very pitiful, but the daytime is much better, although it is not a meter, but the price is a lot cheaper, as long as a little more than a hundred.

In the end, the events of last night inevitably alarmed the troops, and the city military subdivision intervened as soon as possible.

After investigating clearly and confirming Yang Luo's identity, the Municipal Military Division took Yang Luo away and arranged it directly in the Municipal Military Division's guest house, and even Yang Luo's luggage was sent over.

The leaders of the Qianzhou City Military Sub-district are no strangers to the word Yang Luo, but they are like thunder.

The military sub-district has all the information of the city's military personnel, and the person who can make meritorious contributions eight times in half a year in the lower army, and can also win the honorary title of the elite military pacesetter of the patriotic army, is only Yang Luo, and it is impossible for people not to know.

For such an excellent soldier, the military division naturally couldn't slack off, and was originally going to arrange a car to send Yang Luo home, but Yang Luo couldn't accept such enthusiasm, so he left a letter early in the morning, took a taxi and left.

After nearly an hour's drive, it is getting closer and closer to home.

Under Yang Luo's guidance, the taxi turned from the right side of the three-way intersection, and after turning a big corner, a small mountain village came into view, which was where Yang Luo's home was.

Compared with two years ago, the small mountain village has changed a lot, and the most significant change is that there are many new houses, which makes Yang Luo a little unfamiliar.

Before he got home, he saw a middle-aged woman walking in front with a hoe, and from the back, Yang Luo recognized that this was his mother.

Yang Luo hurriedly asked the driver to stop, opened the door and got out of the car and shouted, "Mom! ”

Mother Yang didn't dare to turn her head confidently, rubbed her eyes vigorously, looked at Yang Luo who was turning around, and said excitedly: "Xiao Luo? You're back, I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

"Mom, my son is back."

"Xiao Luo, is it really you?"

"Mom, it's really me."

Yang Luo stepped forward and gently hugged his mother.

"You kid, don't say a word when you come back." Mother Yang said angrily.

Yang Luo smiled: "Mom, didn't I surprise you and Dad?" ”

"I think it's frightening or not." Mother Yang glanced at Yang Luo.

Yang Luo and his mother were chatting, and an inopportune voice came: "I said comrade, can you settle the car money for me first, and then you can talk?" ”

"Mom, wait a minute."

After Yang Luo finished speaking, he walked back to the side of the taxi quickly, settled the fare, took out the luggage from the trunk, and carried it on his shoulder.

It's not far from home, but it's only two or three hundred meters, so there's no need to continue taking a taxi.

"Mom, give me the hoe." Yang Luo said, and at the same time stretched out his hands.

"No, I'm not old enough to carry a hoe. Let's go, son, let's go home. Mother Yang said, "Oh, by the way, I have to inform your dad and ask him to buy some food and come back, there is no food at home." ”

"Daddy on the street?"

Yang Luo regretted that he hadn't notified his family in advance.

"The chickens raised at home are big, and your father sent some to sell on the street."

Mother Yang replied while dialing her mobile phone and yelling at the phone: "Your son is back, buy more food and come back." ”

Then he hung up the phone, turned to complain about Yang Luo, and said, "You kid, you haven't been home for two years......

Yang Luo accompanied his mother to chat and slowly walked home, most of the time it was Yang's mother who was talking, Yang Luo was listening, and the content was mostly short for parents.

The home is still a familiar home, and it looks even more dilapidated than it was two years ago.

Yang Luo's home was built more than ten years ago, with a two-and-a-half-story brick and concrete structure, covering an area of 150 square meters.

"Mom, didn't I tell you to tear it down and cover it again? Why didn't you get it? Yang Luo looked at his house and asked with a frown.

"It doesn't cost money to rebuild a house, and it doesn't leak wind and rain."

"Didn't I transfer money to you? Why are you still reluctant? Isn't money just for spending, and there is not much interest in the bank. ”

"You must have to settle down in the army, your sister is going to get married after all, and your father and I are the only two people in the family, as long as you can live, why do you build it so beautifully." We will help you save the money, and use it for your daughter-in-law in the future, and the bride price on our side is now very high, and it has risen too fiercely, so you need to save more. ”

Mother Yang glanced at Yang Luo, took out the key and opened the door.

When Yang Luo heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, where does the daughter-in-law need nearly one million bride price!

Yang Luo only left 10,000 yuan in his salary card, which was used for consumption when he usually went out, and the rest of the money was sent home, and the salary subsidy for more than a year, plus the 500,000 reward given by China Southern Airlines last year, added up to almost one million.

When I got home, not long after I put down my luggage, a middle-aged man walked over with an old man on crutches, and before I entered the door, the old man was calling: "Is Xiao Luo back?" ”

"Grandpa, why are you here? You have inconvenient legs, I should go to see you. Yang Luo hurriedly went over, supported the old man from the other side, and then greeted the middle-aged man: "Uncle." ”

This old man is Yang Luo's grandfather Yang Fangcheng, seventy-three years old this year, a few years ago because of a serious illness, resulting in inconvenience in the movement of his right foot; The middle-aged man is Yang Luo's uncle, Yang Yonghui's father, Yang Yuqi.

"Your grandfather said that he saw a man in military uniform coming back, it must be Xiao Luo, you have to come, I can only rely on him." Yang Yuqi said with a smile, and helped the old man into the hall and sat down.

"Xiao Luo, come, let grandpa take a good look." The old man said.

Yang Luo stood straight and straight in front of the old man, suddenly raised his right hand, and gave a standard salute: "Hello grandpa." ”

The old man who had just sat down hurriedly stood up tremblingly, and even slapped Yang Yuqi's hand that he stretched out to support, and returned a non-standard military salute, with an extremely serious look on his face.

"Okay, well, they're all captains, and they're promising, much better than your grandfather and me."

Some cloudy eyes carefully looked at the military uniform that Yang Luo was wearing, and the old man said happily.

The old man used to be a soldier when he was young, and Yang Luo knew this, so he had the salute.

Accompanying the old man to talk, Yang Luo pulled Yang Yongqi aside, told him about meeting Yang Yonghui last night, and then said: "Uncle, Yonghui can't go on like this, the university is not good, and he is with some indiscreet people, he will definitely be taken bad." ”

Yang Yuqi frowned and said: "Yonghui has really been a little reluctant to talk in the past two years, but I can't control this bastard kid at all now, scold him for two sentences and he doesn't take it seriously, let's fight, with your aunt in the way, I can't be ruthless, after all, I'm just this son." ”

Yang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I think it's okay to leave him off school and send him to the army for two years of training." ”

"I also thought about sending him to join the army, and Yonghui was quite willing, and went for a physical examination, but unfortunately it didn't work out in the end." Yang Yuqi smiled bitterly.

"Why didn't it happen? Did you fail the medical examination? Yang Luo asked.

"It's not." Yang Yuqi shook his head and said, "After passing the physical examination, some people came to visit the political trial's home, but in the end, there was no follow-up, Yonghui also complained about me for a while, and then I found out that the quota was replaced." ”

"Replaced? When was this? Why didn't you tell me? Yang Luo asked a series of questions.

"It's last year, and you should have just gotten out of the army. If it were this year, Yonghui's place would have been replaced. Yang Yuqi said, his eyes falling on the wall above the main hall, where nine good news were pasted.

"Last year?"

Yang Luo frowned.

Last year, Yang Luo really had no choice, even if he knew, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Uncle, just say if you want to send him to join the army." Yang Luo asked directly.

"Of course, but ......"

"If you want, I'll arrange it."

"This year's conscription physical examination has already passed, even if you want to, you have to wait until next year, right?"

"You don't have to worry about that, you just let Yonghui prepare for a leave of absence. The medical examination is over, but the conscription is not over yet, so I naturally have a way. Yang Luo said confidently.

The physical examination for conscription is generally in July and August, and enlistment is approved on September 1, and new recruits enlist before September 30, and the conscription is over.

"Xiao Luo, do you really have a way?" Yang Yuqi was overjoyed.

As a person close to Yang Luo's family, Yang Yuqi has the deepest experience, and witnessed the armed forces at the county and township levels come to Yang Luo's house with gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival last year.

In particular, the scene of beating gongs and drums twice last year to deliver good news is even more shocking, especially the one a year ago, when all the ordinary officials gathered in this small mountain village that cannot even be found on the map......

The most direct change is that the number of people who have signed up for the army this year is many times higher than in previous years, as long as those who meet the age requirements have rushed back from outside to participate in the conscription physical examination.

During this time, Yang Yuqi listened to the most talk: the child of such and such a family was chosen.

"Hmm."

Yang Luo nodded.

Based on the attitude of the city military sub-district towards him yesterday, Yang Luo was sure that it was just a matter of phone calls.

Of course, the consequence of this is that it will replace other people's quotas, because there is a quota for the number of conscripts in each city each year, and if the quota is exceeded, no troops will accept it.

However, Yang Luo didn't want Yang Yonghui to join the army by replacing someone else's quota and make others lose their dream of joining the army, so he had to find a force to receive Yang Yonghui.

If you want to say the most direct, that is, ask Hu Zhongming to help and let the 122nd regiment accept it, or let Dongling Station receive it.

But Yang Luo wanted Yang Yonghui to go to a more difficult and more temperable unit, so Yang Luo asked the captain and company commander of the reconnaissance company to help, that is, the company commander who had a relationship in the field survival training, speaking of which, he still owed Yang Luo a favor.

Receiving a call from Yang Luo, the captain and company commander agreed to help, of course he can't miss the opportunity to return the favor, although he is not qualified to make this kind of decision, but the people above him can.

Subsequently, Yang Luo made another phone call to the city military sub-district, which was the phone number of the political commissar of the military sub-district, which was specially left for Yang Luo last night.

Yang Luo also left the phone out of politeness, thinking that it would be difficult to have a chance to use it, but he didn't expect to use it so quickly.

As soon as Yang Luo told him about the matter, the political commissar of the military sub-district was still a little embarrassed at first, after all, the matter of replacing other people's quotas was very disgraceful, but after Yang Luo said that he had already found a unit to receive it, the political commissar of the military sub-district readily agreed and promised to do it immediately.

"Uncle, the matter is done, it should be a few days before I come to inform." Yang Luo put down the phone and said to Yang Yuqi.

"That's it?"

Yang Yuqi couldn't believe it, he only saw Yang Luo make two phone calls.

"How much trouble do you think it is?" Yang Luo said with a smile.

Yang Luo relied on the many honors he has received, as long as it is not illegal, basically he dares to say that it is wrapped up in me.

After the matter was done, Yang Luo accompanied the old man to chat with Yang Yuqi, and Yang's mother caught a home-raised chicken and disemboweled.

The old man was very interested in Yang Luo's life in the army, so Yang Luo picked up some content that did not need to be kept secret and told the old man, and the old man was very happy to hear it.

Not long after, Yang Luo's father, Yang Mingqingqi, drove a Trumpchi SUV back from the market, and because he came back too early, he didn't sell a few chickens, and they all pulled back.

There was also an old man who got out of the car, the same age as Yang Luo's grandfather.

This old man is also surnamed Yang, called Yang Tingyun, and he is in a big family, but his seniority is higher, and Yang Luo has to be called Uncle Tai, that is, Yang Luo's great-grandfather's generation.

"Uncle Tai." Yang Luo called respectfully.

"Haha, I heard your dad say that you came back on the street, and your dad pulled you back before you even bought all the things." Yang Tingyun laughed and said, "Our old Yang family has finally produced a capable person. Fang Cheng's nephew, you have a good grandson. ”

The old man smiled: "Uncle, it's all a family, a family." ”

"That's right, we are all a family, passed down from the same ancestor." Yang Tingyun said, "After the New Year this year, I once proposed that after Xiao Luo came back, he would open a shrine to worship his ancestors, Qingqi, Yuqi, you go and inform me, and worship the ancestors tomorrow,"

"Brother, I'll go, you accompany Xiao Luo to talk." Yang Yuqi stopped Yang's father, and after finishing speaking, he ran away and went to inform everyone in the big family surnamed Yang in this small mountain village.

Yang Luo was a little dumbfounded, this battle was too big, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Tai, this is not necessary, right?" ”

Yang Tingyun glared: "You are the eldest grandson of the Yongzi generation, now you are so promising, how can it be unnecessary, you must let the ancestors know, and they are also happy."

Yang Luo's name should be called Yang Yongluo if it is taken according to the character generation, and it is also called Yang Yongluo on the family tree, but it is called Yang Luo in the household registration book.

Yang Luo turned his head to look at Father Yang, hoping that he could stop the incident of ancestor worship.

As the oldest one in the Yongzi generation, Yang Luo once participated in ancestor worship activities, the ceremony was very cumbersome, kneeling and worshipping, the whole ceremony was very tiring, and it was said that exaggeration can exhaust a person.

Yang Luo came back to visit his family and take a break, but he didn't want to participate in such a tiring activity.

"Don't look at me, I, a person of the odd generation, have no say in the matter of worshipping ancestors." Father Yang spread his hands and shook his head.

Yang Luo turned his gaze to his grandfather again, his father has no right to speak, grandpa should always have it.

The old man turned his head and didn't leave Yang Luo.

Worshipping ancestors because Yang Luo is alone, this is the honor of their lineage, how can the old man refuse.

As for letting Yang Tingyun, the uncle, come forward to stop this event, Yang Luo never thought about it, this matter was originally proposed by him, how could he take it back.

Yang Luo could only be a bitter melon statue and was forced to accept it.

One after another, Yang Luo's home began to be lively, and all the families who got the news came to say hello and sit down to chat a few words.

Young people are all out of the house, or going to school, or working, and all the people who come to Yang Luo's house are elderly people and children of a few years old, and they basically have no common language with Yang Luo, and they are all greeted by Yang's father and Yang's mother.

The next day, Yang Luo participated in the ancestor worship activity.

After a whole set of rituals, Yang Luo's only feeling was tired, more tired than a fighter jet driving for several hours in a row.

Yang's father and Yang's mother were happy all day and felt that they had more face.
