At night, thinking that he was going to get on the train home tomorrow, Sun Jiashu was so excited that he couldn't sleep on the bed, the green leaves had completely occupied his heart, his mind was full of green leaves, the smile of the green leaves, the gentle beauty of the green leaves, the kindness and virtue of the green leaves, all of which he recalled over and over again, he knew that he could not leave the green leaves in this life, and the lights out number was more like a stimulant for him, he simply opened his eyes, with a happy smile on his face, and reminisced about the happiness of being with the green leaves. It was a long night for him, he tossed and turned in bed, it was almost sleepless, and when he woke up the next day, his eyes were already red, he got up early to tidy up his housekeeping, and then laid out the things he was going to bring home, and then sat on the bed and looked at them and giggled at them.

"Squad leader, can you see Sister Luye when you get home?" Zhang Ershun asked when he saw Sun Jiashu sitting with a smirk.

"I don't know yet, maybe she didn't go back to school, but I'll go to their school to find her." Sun Jiashu said.

"If you see Sister Green Leaf, say hello to her on my behalf."

"Don't worry, I will, maybe your sister Luye is thinking about you at this time, I have to tell her that Zhang Ershun is now a great hero of the army." Sun Jiashu said with a smile.

"Really squad leader? Can you bring Sister Green Leaf to our troops? ”

"Let's see when the time comes, she likes the army very much, you don't want to leave as soon as you don't see her coming."

At this time, the whistle sounded for dinner, and Xiao Guangdong hurriedly ordered the whole class to gather, and now Sun Jiashu has handed over the work with Xiao Guangdong, and Xiao Guangdong will perform the duties of acting squad leader from now on.

"Take a break, stand upright, comrade squad leader, the whole class is assembled, please instruct." Xiao Guangdong saluted and said.

Sun Jiashu returned a military salute and said, "Please take a break." ”

"Take a break." Xiao Guangdong gave the order.

"Tell me, please take a break, comrades, I am going home to visit relatives this morning, during the time I am gone, everyone must obey the management of the deputy squad leader, support the work of the deputy squad leader, our fourth shift, at any time should be twisted into a rope, always the benchmark of the whole company, can you do it?"

"Yes—" they replied.

"Why do I think everyone can't be excited before they eat? Can you? Sun Jiashu said loudly.

"Yes—" This time the class replied much louder than before.

"Okay, go to the canteen, Xiao Guangdong, and sing a song on the way."

"Yes, send comrades-in-arms, ready to sing-" Xiao Guangdong made a head.

"What the did you get? I feel uncomfortable listening to this song, so I changed it. ”

"Yes, unity is strength, ready to sing-" Xiao Guangdong led the singing of another song, and everyone sang and walked towards the canteen.

In front of the canteen, the other classes had already been brought, because it was drizzling in the sky, and the clothes were wet, so they were a little dissatisfied with the late arrival of the fourth class, they strangely looked at the fourth class singing and came over, the soldiers of the fourth class looked nervous today, and they began to sing on the way to the canteen.

"Take a break, stand up -- Comrade Company Commander, the whole company has been assembled, please instruct." Report of the platoon commander on duty.

"Please take a break." The company commander returned the salute.

"Take a break."

The company commander walked to the front of the queue and said, "Comrades. ”

With a "snap", everyone consciously stood upright.

"Please take a break, today our fourth squad leader is going home to visit relatives, it's been almost three years, and the fourth squad leader hasn't returned home once for the company's work, today, how about we sing a song to him? Let's come to the song "Send Comrades-in-Arms", I'll lead the singing, send-in-arms-friends-ready to sing-

The officers and men of the whole company began to sing: "Send your comrades-in-arms and embark on the journey." Silent two tears, camel bells ringing in my ears. The road is long and foggy. Revolutionary careers often break up, the same and two loves. Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, beware of the cold wind in the middle of the night, take care of yourself all the way. Send your comrades and embark on a journey. There is a long way to go, and there are many hardships, and the camel bells are sprinkled all the way. Mountains and mountains are stacked, and water is crisscrossed. The ambition to defy the wind and water is there, and it lives up to the people's nurturing feelings. Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, we will meet again when the spring breeze spreads the good news. Comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms, dear brothers, we will meet again when the spring breeze spreads the good news. ”

Seeing his comrades-in-arms singing hard, Sun Jiashu's eyes moistened, he really had a deep comradeship, and he said silently in his heart, thank you, my good brother. After singing the song, everyone began to enter the canteen to eat, Sun Jiashu hastily ate a little and came back, he had something in his heart, back to the dormitory, he checked the luggage that had been sorted out in the morning again, and saw that Xiao Guangdong also came back, he concisely explained the work after he left, and then sat down and waited for the news of the company commander, if it wasn't for Sunday yesterday, yesterday's family visit leave would have been approved, and the company commander said that the family leave could be approved this morning.

After eating, the company commander ordered Xiao Lizi to go to the military affairs unit to get a family visit pass, and he also sat at the company headquarters to wait for news, but at this time, the correspondent of the battalion headquarters came.

"The company commander and the battalion commander informed that all cadres above the company level of the battalion should go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting." said the battalion correspondent.

"Oh, got it, I'll go right away." The company commander said that he thought to himself, what kind of meeting is there in the regiment at this time? He didn't expect that he would be there all morning.

Besides, Sun Jiashu sat in the dormitory and waited anxiously, and the company commander said that he could get the pass within half an hour, but after waiting all morning, there was no news. Just when he was anxious, the door opened, and Xiao Lizi walked in.

"Xiao Lizi, I finally waited for you, has the pass been approved?" Sun Jiashu hurriedly greeted him and said.

Xiao Lizi said: "Fourth squad leader, the company commander asked you to go over." ”

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Sun Jiashu said excitedly that it must have been approved for family leave, and the things he wanted to bring to visit his relatives had already been prepared, and he even collected the letters between him and Luye in the past few years, a total of more than 100 letters. If he gets the pass today, he will be able to see his father and mother tonight, and now everything is ready and only the east wind is owed.

The rain was still sparsely falling, and the eaves were full of water, and the rain was dripping in the puddles, splashing strings of blisters, and Sun Jiashu ran to the company without even bothering to hit the umbrella. The ground in front of the company was low, and there was a lot of deep water, and he was dripping through it. Pushing open the door, the company commander was waiting for him in the house, only to see the company commander frowning, with previous experience, Sun Jiashu felt that things were a little wrong.

When the company commander saw Sun Jiashu entering the house, he said: "Comrade Sun Jiashu, I called you here today to tell you a situation, you can't be in a hurry. ”

"You say, company commander, I won't be in a hurry." Sun Jiashu pretended to be very frank and said.

According to the forecast of the meteorological department, in the next few days, there will be heavy rains hitting our city, and some towns and villages may suffer serious mudslide hazards. At the meeting, it was decided that the whole regiment should enter a state of first-class alert and be ready to fight floods and provide disaster relief at any time. The meeting, which deployed the disaster relief programme and the tasks of the companies, lasted until 11 a.m. Orders from superiors: All those who go out to visit relatives and take leave are recalled by telegram. It seems that the matter of your visit to your relatives will only be delayed for a while. ”

After listening to the words of the company commander, Sun Jiashu seemed to have fallen into the abyss all of a sudden, and the excitement in the morning disappeared in an instant, he lowered his head and didn't say a word, full of grievances but didn't know where to start.

Seeing that Sun Jiashu didn't speak, the company commander continued: "Fourth squad leader, I know that you feel very uncomfortable, and you can't visit relatives normally, but you are a soldier, and it is your duty to obey orders. You are not only a party member, but also the backbone of the company, and you should play an exemplary and leading role in this regard, and you should understand the principle that the small family is subordinate to everyone and the personal interests are subordinate to the interests of the state. ”

Sun Jiashu nodded silently, but who could understand the pain in his heart? His mind was blank, he didn't hear a word of the company commander's words of comfort, and he didn't even know how he got out of the company.

The long security alarm sounded, and the soldiers nervously prepared disaster relief equipment, raincoats, war shovels, flashlights, etc., all of which were indispensable, and the backpacks were also beaten.

In the days that followed, the rain became heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping, and the water in the barracks was already enough to bury the ankles, and several low-lying companies had begun to save themselves, piling sandbags at the door to prevent the rain from flowing into the houses. The people on family leave were all called back one after another, and the exhaustion on their faces showed that they had rushed back day and night. The veterans of the fourth class also came back, Sun Jiashu counted on his fingers, he only walked for five days, his hometown is in the depths of Daliang Mountain, according to what he said, from the army to his house to take a train for two days and two nights to reach the provincial capital, get off the train and take a car for a day to reach their county, and take a day of mountain roads to get home. If that's the case, he should be on the mountain road home today, why did he come back so soon? When I asked, I found out that Lao Ma couldn't get off the train in the provincial capital but couldn't get on the car, because the south also suffered from flooding, and the road to his home was washed away by the flood. A day and a half of a day can not be repaired, so he used the public telephone to call home to report, but what he got was a telegram from the army urging him to return to the team, he was stunned for a moment, he has not yet arrived home The telegram of the army arrived first, the military order is like a mountain, he knows the responsibility on his shoulders, just like this, in the face of the distant hometown, listening to the words of his relatives, this strong man shed tears, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, he faced the direction of his hometown and glanced a few heads, and then resolutely boarded the return train. Sun Jiashu's heart was deeply shocked by the veteran's actions. An ordinary warrior can focus on the big picture, what more can he say?
