In a military restricted area in the northern suburbs of Chengde, the surrounding people can often hear the roar of guns inside, but they don't know what to do in the road. Barbed wire was pulled up in a radius of dozens of kilometers, and occasional patrol horses whizzed along the barbed wire, adding to the mystery. This is the Imperial School of Armored Forces, which has been in existence for three years. There was no movement in there today, which was a little uncomfortable. The road in front of the Armored Forces School stretched straight into the distance.

The sentry stands tall in front of the door, and the sentry is loyal to his duty and does not squint. Suddenly, the door opened, and several trucks came out of it. The car was full of young soldiers, their dark and immature faces were full of a certain longing, and their immature faces were full of vigor and vitality. Today is the day of the graduation of the first batch of armored cadets, no wonder the armored forces school is quiet. The first batch of armored corps cadets, after three years of systematic study, will enter the first armored brigade of the empire as a subordinate commander.

At the front of the first truck compartment, four young officers stood side by side. The leader is tall and has a Chinese face called Liu Guoliang, and his father is a rickshaw driver. The young officer standing side by side on the left is called Xiao Fei, from a business family. He has a well-proportioned figure, thin cheeks, and is about the same size as Liu Guoliang. The young officer on the left is of medium stature, called Tong Zhuang, who is a Manchurian and comes from a lower-class Manchu family. Ding Dong, who is short in his right hand, has a round face. Ding Dong comes from a family of small business owners, and his father owns a shop in Beijing.

The four young officers are all from the capital, and they come from different classes of families in the capital. Three years ago, they graduated from high school, and it happened that the armored forces school was recruiting cadets, and four ambitious young people decided to join Rong. Separately apply for the School of Armored Forces. They are almost inseparable and live in the same dormitory, and they are from the capital, so they become good friends. This batch of armored cadets, for reasons of secrecy. In the past three years, there has been no step forward in the armored forces school, and it is completely closed study and training.

The truck left the school gate, and the young people began to be active. "Guoliang, are you homesick?" Xiao Fei asked. "Can you not want to? After three years of isolation, my family did not receive any news, and I am afraid that my mother would wash her face with tears every day. Liu Guoliang's face was a little ashamed. Brother Liu, I heard that your grades were very good when you graduated from middle school. There is no problem in getting admitted to Jingjing University. Ding Dong teased. We are a small family, and my father is looking forward to Jackie Chan. But I let them down. ”

"Brother Xiao, is it so hard that you don't want to go home? You're a boy! Tong Zhuang asked. Xiao Fei smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret. I came out to join the army to get rid of that family. My father married Mrs. Sifang, and I was born in a partial house. For as long as I can remember, there has been a miasma of smoke and intrigue at home. As the saying goes, two women in one play, four women are singing a big play. My dad used to women outside and often didn't come home. That family let me down. ”

"It's hard to find that there is no one at home who makes you worry about it?" "It's a person. It's been three years, I don't know how she is? "Ha Lu Ha! I guess it must be a girl! "Yes, she is the butler's daughter. When she graduated from high school, she told me that she was going to apply for a nursing school, and if she did, she would graduate this year. Xiao Fei was a little fascinated. Alas! You still have someone to worry about, and I don't have anything. It is not false to say that it is full of people's nests. I'm not afraid of exposing the ugliness of my brothers, my father is idle, and he either walks birds or fights crickets every day. He ruined all his family business. ”

"My mother was angry with my father to death, and the two brothers above are not angry. Frankly, I don't want to go back to that home at all. Tong Zhuang's face was depressed. Little chubby, what are you silent about? Liu Guoliang asked. Brothers, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm afraid of death, and I don't want to join the army at all. My father was a money fan, and he said that the officer's salary was high, and my father asked me to be a soldier. We have 5 brothers, and I am the third. Only the eldest brother inherited the family business. My father said that even if he died in battle, he could get a large pension, do you say there is such a father? ”

"Okay, don't talk about family history. This time we are given 10 days off, and my brothers should cherish it. Liu Guoliang said. Xiao Fei said: "In the past three years, we have become brothers who live and die together and share weal and woe. My conditions are better than yours, and the three of you will split the salary for three years! Liu Guoliang was about to refuse Xiao Fei and said: "Guoliang, we are brothers, I know that your family is not rich, Tong Zhuang's family is also very bad, Ding Dong and his father are money fans, so you must give me face, if anyone doesn't give me face, they will look down on me." ”

"Brother Liu, I know that you are high, if you don't want me, I will laugh and accept." Tong Zhuang is in charge. "You are beautiful, you don't have a door." Almost all of these trainees were recruited in the capital, so the trucks stopped moving when they arrived at the east gate of the capital. The trainees got off the bus one after another and gathered with their luggage. The commander who led the team was concise and told the cadets to go home to reunite with their loved ones, and asked them to assemble at the station after 10 days, as to where they went was a military secret.

Liu Guoliang appeared in his own alley with his luggage and daily necessities, and the once familiar alleyway was a little unfamiliar. Many of the houses on both sides of the roadway are newly built, and the roadway used to be a dirt road, but now it has become a cement road, and the road surface is very clean. It's a slum, it's unrecognizable now, and it's clear that everyone's life is better, otherwise no one would have renovated the house. Liu Guoliang walked to his courtyard gate, and seemed to dare not recognize each other. There are 4 families living in this quadrangle, and each house seems to have been renovated. Especially the courtyard gate, the original door has long been gone, and the bright red paint of the new courtyard gate is shining brightly and darkly.

The courtyard door was hidden, Liu Guoliang gently pushed the courtyard door, and found a girl walking out of the room on the right. The girl is twenty-eight years old, with a slim figure and a pair of big eyes flickering. 4 eyes are relatively familiar, "It's Brother Guoliang, you ?????? It's back! The girl's face was flushed, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes. Could it be Zijuan's sister, I didn't expect to grow into a big girl after three years, and she has become more beautiful. Zijuan's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly turned around and ran towards the main house.

"Auntie, auntie! Brother Liang of my country is back! "The girl's silver bell-like voice is so pleasant. As soon as Zijuan's voice fell, a lady in her 50s came out of the house, and when the lady saw her son who had not seen her for three years, her lips trembled a little and her eyes were full of tears??????。 Guoliang looked at his home in the house, and a warm feeling came to his heart. Mother was busy in the kitchen with a smile on her face. Zijuan put his hand next to him and said happily: "Auntie, Brother Guoliang is majestic, and he is already an officer."

The lady looked at Zijuan and said bluntly, "Auntie asked you." Is Brother Guoliang good? "Wow, I adored him when I was younger." "Zijuan, since you like Guoliang, be my daughter-in-law!" "Auntie!" Zijuan's face turned red again when she heard this, and she turned around and ran out of the house in shame. When the meal was served, the lady saw her son gobbling up the food, and the mother's love flashed on her face. Seeing that his mother was looking at him intently, he asked, "My father is still pulling the cart?" ”

Mother said, "Your father's body is still strong. How can you be idle at home? Your brother has made money since he was apprenticed in the factory. I advise your father to do less, he doesn't listen, and now the outsiders who come to the capital to play in Wuyang and Wuyang are very good at business. Before dawn, your father will leave and come back after dark. "My brother still lives in the factory?" "Your brother is married, the factory is in the suburbs, they rented a room near the factory, and they can't come back until Sunday."

Madame seemed to remember something and asked, "Child." What kind of soldier are you? It says it's confidential, and even if it's confidential, you have to write a letter to your family! "Mother! There is discipline in the troops, so don't ask. After Guoliang finished speaking, he took out a pack of silver dollars from his shoulder bag and said: "After entering the military academy, I will issue 5 silver dollars every month, and I will save up if there is no place to spend money, which is more than 200 silver dollars." I graduated and enjoyed the treatment of an officer, and my monthly salary was 40 silver dollars. My dad worked hard all his life and told him not to pull the cart. My salary is enough for you to live on. ”

"That's not going to work, you're going to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. I'll save it for you. You just met the purple girl girl, she is the beauty of this alley. This year, Miss Zijuan graduated from middle school and was admitted to the nursing school, and many families came to propose marriage. I like Purple Juan, what do you think of her? "How's that?" "Brainless, I mean how about being your daughter-in-law?" "No, I'm going to go to the battlefield when I am a soldier, in case there are three long and two short, wouldn't it hurt the purple juan girl?" "Crow's mouth, you can't say something auspicious. Zijuan is such a good girl, she can't be cheaper than someone else's, I'll let your father propose tomorrow? ”

At this time, Zijuan was eavesdropping outside the window, and when she heard the word "marriage", she panicked, and accidentally touched the bowl on the windowsill to the ground, only to hear the sound of the bowl breaking. Zijuan was frightened and ran home. Zijuan's father was a mason, and her mother died early. Zijuan's father is running around all the year round, and Mrs. Liu is almost half of Zijuan's mother. Hearing the movement outside, Guo Liang said: "Our conversation has been heard by Zijuan!" ”

"I ask you if you like Miss Zijuan, if you don't like her, I'll take her as my goddaughter!" Seeing his mother's disappointed expression, Guo Liang said: "Mother, I personally told Zijuan that I wouldn't hurt her." In the past, Zijuan was a little sister in his eyes, but the moment he entered the yard, he seemed a little moved to see Zijuan who had become a big girl. Obviously, the mother has regarded Zijuan as her daughter-in-law, and I'm afraid Zijuan herself thinks so. Guoliang pondered for a while and decided to talk to Zijuan so as not to hurt her heart.

Xiao Fei stood in front of his palatial door, carefully examined the stone lion with fangs and claws, and said to himself: "You are still like this, everything is the same. I don't know what's going on at home. The red lacquered door of his house didn't seem to have changed, and Xiao Fei hesitated and pulled the door knocker. Soon, a subordinate opened the door a little impatiently, and the subordinate poked his head out and immediately said in shock: "It's the second young master, if you come back, I'll report it!" The subordinate turned around excitedly and ran, and then began to shout.

Xiao Fei shook his head self-deprecatingly and walked in, the scenery that greeted him didn't seem to have changed much, and a few bicycles and a motorcycle were parked on the side of the shadow wall, adding a bit of modern atmosphere. There were also motorcycles from the people, Xiao Fei looked at it curiously. The Xiao Mansion is a three-entry courtyard, with a small garden at the back and more than a dozen side rooms on both sides. The eldest lady of the Xiao Mansion lives in the main house, and the aunt and wife all live in the wing room on the right, and the room where the subordinates live on the left.

There was a loud sound of footsteps behind the shadow wall, and there was even the sound of running. Xiao Fei knew that the Daoist family was boiling in the shouts of his subordinates, and he resolutely ran away from home after falling out with his father, and then applied for the armored army school without authorization. There has been no news for three years, and the family does not know where they are. At this time, Xiao Fei felt a little sorry, turned around from behind the shadow wall, and suddenly a group of flowery women came into view. (To be continued......)
