At the end of the year, with the retirement of Huang Wenwen, I also naturally took over the clerical position. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Through a year of hard work, I have made small achievements, not only was I rated as an outstanding soldier, but also because of the outstanding achievements in the reporting of the new newspaper, I was recorded as a third-class meritorious service by the regiment. I felt that I had gained self-confidence in life after joining the army, and I had the idea of going home to visit my relatives.

The first time I went out of my life, I was 3,600 miles away, and I usually haven't been anywhere except the county seat, and I am still a little timid about how to go home. Unlike now, everything can be done through the Internet, at that time, as soon as you go out, you will become a "lonely person", once the route is wrong, it is "two eyes and no road".

In order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, I will contact my fellow villagers to see if there is anyone who goes back together. I did find two. We worked out a route to return home: first take a bus from the station to Litang, then take a train from Litang to Zhengzhou, then transfer from Zhengzhou to the county seat, transfer from the county seat to the township, and then let the family go to the township bus station to pick up people. The journey takes about 45 hours, and the train alone takes two nights and 36 hours a day. No matter how hard and tired I have to go back, and it happens to be the Spring Festival, I usually haven't moved the idea of going home, once I move, I really feel a little homesick, this is the first time in our lives that we have left our hometown for so long, away from our parents for so long.

In order to have the money left for the night outside, the three of us and Shouyong and Guangli arrived at the bus station early in the morning. On the way, I urged the driver to increase the accelerator and drive faster, for fear of missing the train. When I arrived at the train station, I ran to the ticket office and bought the ticket, and it was only half an hour before the train started.

"Here, it's all seatless. 1362 times, 100 yuan a piece. Shouyong handed us the ticket and said helplessly.

"It's good to have it, be content. Otherwise, we will have to wait until tomorrow. "Guangli Road.

"Let's go get something to eat, and we're on our way." We ate a bowl of boiled noodles together on the side of the road, 2 yuan a bowl, and Shouyong took out the money.

With the sound of the train entering the station, we followed the flow of people through the overpass and reached the platform.

"Lean in, lean in, stand beyond the white line." The uniformed men at the train station, with flags in their hands, shouted loudly and commanded solemnly.

As soon as the train arrived, everyone rushed up, some were afraid that they would not be able to get up, some were trying to go up to grab seats, and some were going up first to take care of their families. The luggage is bumping around your head, and the crowding is a bit suffocating.

"Come, come, this, this." Shou Yong entered the carriage first, and shouted at the window for us to give him the luggage first, so that we could get on the train. At this time, some people saw that the window was open, and insisted on climbing in through the window, and everyone followed suit. This is much more "spectacular" than the scene in "People on the Road". The sentence "I want to go home" has worried many people's hearts and homesickness.

The luggage rack was full, and when we got on the train, we stuffed our luggage under our seats and found a vacant seat to stand. Finally "listened to it for the time being".

"Shou Yong, Guang Li, have you found it, we are all speaking Mandarin at the moment. I can't speak my hometown dialect yet. ”

"Yes, this is not right, on the way back, we have to practice our hometown dialect well, otherwise we will have to be noisy when we go home." Shou Yong switched to his hometown dialect.

"People can't forget their roots, and our family cares about this the most." Guangli immediately took it in his hometown dialect.

In the barracks, everyone comes from all over the world, there is no occasion and opportunity for you to speak your hometown, you haven't spoken it for two years, and many words are already very difficult to speak. Due to the strict management, we have never met each other, and everyone chatted happily. The car has passed through Guilin, and I have been standing for 6 hours, and I don't feel tired. The carriage was crowded, there was no boiling water, and eating instant noodles became a luxury idea, so everyone took out biscuits and bread from their bags and nibbled on them. Bitter, I don't think so.

In the middle of the night, the people in the carriage loosened slightly, and then I felt that my legs were already a little sore, and the more I moved, the more uncomfortable I felt, and my heels hurt a little. Take advantage of the opportunity for others to go to the toilet, discuss it with others, and quickly sit in his seat to relieve relief.

At that time, I had the taste of sleeping standing for the first time in my life.

36 hours finally passed, and I didn't have time to appreciate the atmosphere of Zhengzhou Railway Station, so I trotted all the way to the Erma Road bus station to find a car. Going home is the first thing, and there is no scenery along the way except for the crowds.

"Dad! When I arrived at the station, my father was already waiting there, and I saw him coming, beckoned to him, and I really had a desire to rush up and hug him, but the strict education of the Holy See prompted me not to do that, but to suppress my thoughts in the bottom of my heart.

"Mom, my brother is back." When my sister saw me, she was so happy that she quickly reported it to her mother.

"Mai, I'm back." I called out to my long-lost mother, the tip of my nose was sore, and my eyes were wet.

"It's back, baby feed." The mother lifted the curtain and squeaked flatly, "I'm hungry, what to eat." "Mother is not good at words, but there must be sweetness and sourness in her heart, but she shows love in action.

"Let's throw away some somen noodles." I think this is the easiest and will not bother my mother.

My mother laid me two poached eggs in the noodles and poured two drops of vinegar into them. I took the initiative to take the bowl and ate it deliciously. My father, mother, younger brother, and sister watched me, and I felt the warmth of a family reunion that I will never forget, and I felt very happy. Since then, somen noodles have become the first meal I have every time I go home, because my mother thinks it is her son's favorite.

My father asked me to go to the elders' homes, first, to respect the elders, thank them for their teachings and care, and secondly, to tell everyone that my baby is doing well in the army. It's etiquette, it's education. Our family is the youngest in the village, especially among the people of this family, and there are not many brothers, so we need to maintain this clan relationship. This is essential and very important in rural areas. This habit and requirement has been maintained until now.

Neighbors have been visited, and their relatives should not be forgotten. As soon as the Spring Festival was over, my father took me to my relatives. Because I am usually not at home, there is no phone at that time, and the Spring Festival is also a time to visit relatives and friends. This is also a manifestation of filial piety. We must not forget our roots, so we need to know where we came from. The "root" of the peasant means not to forget the roots.

Dad took me to Brother Jianjun's house. He is the eldest son of my second aunt's family, when I joined the army, he worked in the township armed forces department, he is my guide, no matter how many achievements I have, he, I can not forget. He is very tall, he has retired from the armed police force, he is very powerful, and I have been a little afraid of him since I was a child. My alley is more than a meter wide, and he can walk far with his legs and feet on the wall. When I arrived at his home, he told me a lot of "precautions" that I should pay attention to in the future, all of which were his experience in the army, which was quite beneficial. In my later military career, some of them I did, and some of them didn't do it because of their unlimited abilities. He must be my guiding light. At the crossroads of life, it is very crucial to have someone to remind you and give you light. I am very grateful to him.

I am even more grateful to my relatives and my comrades-in-arms, they are all my benefactors, and they are benefactors that I will never forget.
