It's been less than a month since I last went home to visit my family, and when I came back again, my identity has completely changed, from an ordinary soldier to a quasi-officer who is about to step into the gate of the military academy, and I have a different mood and different feelings.

Reform and opening up, economic development, great changes in the hometown, where are engaged in construction, everywhere can see the heat in full swing, a train, Nanchang Railway Station is being rebuilt, no longer a small station, replacing Xiangtang to become a hub, there is a starting and transiting, the green car has gradually been replaced by the "K" word fire express, a fixed time to start and arrive, and then no need to stop halfway to let the car wait.

The main road from Fengxin to Nanchang is also being repaired, not only widened, but also to be changed from a gravel road to a cement road, which is equivalent to rebuilding on the original site, the whole road is dug deep and shallow, potholes, water into pools, and after the car is like a plow.

The vehicle is moving through the mud, the speed is very slow, and it may be faster than it when you take a few steps, and the bus is undulating and bumpy, like dancing in the air, and you have different feelings twice on two rides.

When I came back more than a month ago, the test results had not yet been released, and the dream of the military academy was still uncertain, slightly anxious, feeling that walking slowly, bumpy and uncomfortable, and feeling the gap with the modern metropolis like a chasm, as if returning from civilization to primitive.

This time I came back, with the joy of admission, the same slow and bumpy, but I felt that this is the manifestation of prosperity, to get rich first to build roads, the main arteries have been opened, and from then on the economic development will be plugged into the wings of take-off.

After the ups and downs, there must be a broad road, and through a road is becoming a reality, perhaps the same is true for one's own life.

The first time I visited my family, there was a very important reason, because my father told me that he had paid attention to inquired and learned that someone in his hometown was a professor in an air force academy, which was one of the colleges we recruited, and this was the second choice when filling in the volunteer.

Therefore, the first time I visited relatives, I just went back to my hometown, accompanied by the fifth uncle, I visited the professor's family, a simple elder, the fifth uncle introduced him as the professor's brother, an ordinary farmer, very enthusiastic, it seems that we do not feel that we are begging him to do something, but as a relative to visit, warmly received, according to the custom to cook us poached eggs, put sugar in it is very sweet.

The economic development conditions have improved, in the past, it was good to have food, and now it can be entertained with poached eggs, ordinary farmers, also installed a landline, the elder found the number, dialed the phone of his professor's brother's house, introduced my situation, the professor was also very polite, let me leave his phone number, and contact him directly if there is something.

On the second day after I returned to the army, I called the professor and was told that my file had been taken away in advance, and of course I knew that it was the platoon commander's fellow instructor who had taken it away, and if he hadn't taken it away in advance, I might have entered another college.

The family's concern was not interrupted because I entered the army, on the contrary, it was even stronger, always thinking of ways to help, similar to the practice of looking for college professors, my parents have done a lot, as long as it involves the army, no matter which unit, no matter what position, they will inquire carefully, collect information for me to leave, and when they encounter relatives, they will actively contact and communicate on behalf of others.

Father's love is like steel, silently helping, no matter how difficult and hard it is, he will work hard, he never talks about the difficulties encountered in the process, he never stops writing letters and encouragement, but he never comes to the army to visit me, he says that it is useless to go, but it may affect the study and training.

In the first year of being a soldier, my father once passed through Hangzhou, went to Ningbo to visit my fourth uncle, and took a train to enter Hangzhou through the Qiantang River Bridge, almost under my nose, but in this case, he did not come to see me.

I can imagine when the Hangzhou Railway Station transferred, the empty and crowded waiting hall, he waited alone, at this time his thoughts were flying, and his mind must be my figure, imagining the scene of my study and training from a letter, "the mother of the child is worried", whose son is not remembered by the father.

Mother's love is like blood, my mother is different, during the Spring Festival in the second year of the soldier, she once invited my aunt to accompany me, with a visit and travel, also went to Dajia River, passing through Hangzhou, specially stopped, found the company to come to see me, accompanied by my eldest sister.

I usually go out less, and I made a mistake with the transfer bus, which caused my mother to go around in a big circle, and I took all the way to find the company. When the rural women were simple, they saw that I was dark and thin, and when they ate in the company canteen, they saw that the food was quite simple, and they thought that I had suffered a lot in the army, and tears welled up in their eyes.

The family members came to the team, the company attached great importance to it, the company commander and the instructor all visited the family, several fellow villagers also surrounded them, and the mother brought some local products from home and distributed them to everyone, some of which could be eaten as snacks, and the villagers were tired in the family room.

Soon after I was conscripted into the army, my sister quit her substitute teaching job at Yuxia School and followed her classmates and friends to work on the coast.

During this period, she always asked me if I wanted money, and often told me to be generous in dealing with people, so she sent me some pocket money from time to time, and sometimes she would send me some food.

In the summer of the second year of her career, she had the opportunity to go on a business trip with her colleagues, and made a special detour to Hangzhou to see me in the company. I made a big splash, brought a large bag of melon and fruit snacks, and greeted everyone warmly, asking me to share them with my comrades-in-arms, which left a very deep impression on my comrades-in-arms.

My sister stayed for a short time, came in the morning and left in the afternoon, and when she left, she gave me 2,000 yuan, telling me not to be afraid of spending money, and to send it to me when needed.

Nine soldiers from the teaching team participated, and seven of them were admitted, some were admitted to the same academy, some were alone in one academy, and like me, they were admitted to the Guilin Air Force Academy, and one was admitted to the Guilin Air Force Academy.

I was in Hangzhou, he was in Nanjing, and they went home separately and made an appointment to report to the military academy at the same time. A classmate from the third middle school enlisted in the army in the same year as me, and he was also admitted to the college where someone was a professor in his hometown.

There are still more than ten days before the report, and I don't have the anxiety and worry when I was on leave from the last family visit, and my father has taken me to visit my relatives and elders one by one these days.

At this time, they were admitted to the military academy, and they were even more joyful, visiting relatives' homes, taking a car from afar, and riding my 28-style flying pigeon brand bicycle at a close point, and I was busy for nearly 10 days.

I saw my grandmother, she was in good health, I sat with her for a long time, my grandfather's spiritual seat was placed in front of the hall, I lay in front of his old man's spiritual seat, my heart was very sad, tears could not help but burst out of my eyes, my grandmother did not show obvious grief, nor did she comfort me too much.

Maybe she also thought that I should see my grandfather for the last time, but my uncle stopped me, saying that he was afraid of affecting the development of my army, and they all knew that it was not easy for me to be a soldier, and they all knew that I was not actually a soldier, but to fight.

I remember going to my grandmother's house before enlisting in the army, and I was infected with the problem of sighing, and after my grandmother heard it, she seriously told me, you are still young, you can't be like this, and I have told a lot of popular local stories, since then I have no longer sighed, even if I have suffered many setbacks, I would rather choose self-improvement, never complain.

In the year after we became soldiers, through phone calls and letters, I learned that my high school classmates had organized a party in the county seat, and I deeply regretted that they could not participate.

As a regret to make up for it, I had the idea of moving around before entering the military school, and under the contact, there were really a lot, and the news was sincerely invited to each other, some invited to go home, some invited to the unit, and the feelings were still sincere and strong.

The biggest change in the mouths of the classmates is that I am no longer shy, no longer shy, no longer young, obliquely inserted, joking, the most open, the mouth is non-stop, and the laughter is constant.

The frightening and flirtatious habits that the army had cultivated over the past few years were completely exposed, and the male classmates were also amused, the female classmates were also amused, and even their siblings, parents, and elders were dizzy within two minutes of meeting.

When I was in high school, I participated in the recruitment process, two of them were in a hydropower station deep in the mountains, and the other was in a company under the Water and Power Bureau.

There are many inconveniences in the depths of the mountains, the two are very dissatisfied with the current situation, and there are many performances when they talk, and later the state-owned enterprises were restructured, they both took more than 10,000 yuan in resettlement fees, and chose to respond to the national policy to accept laid-off resettlement, and buy out the seniority and quit the unit, which may be related to the dissatisfaction of the year.

There are a few classmates in the countryside, you can see their worries and uneasiness when chatting, graduation is unemployed, I don't know where to go, it is difficult to see the heroism and fearlessness of the student days after a long absence, maybe it will never be seen again, there is always a little confusion in the conversation, and a faint sadness is quietly diffused.

I understand this mood very well, maybe after graduating from high school, they have struggled like me, on the surface they are scared and bragging, but in their hearts they know deeply how difficult it is for me to have the opportunity now, at that moment I reminded myself that no matter what happens in the future, I must not give up my efforts, I must not give up the opportunity.

It's time to report to the military academy, "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", the smart landscape presented in the textbook has made me infinitely yearning, and Liu Sanjie's singing has penetrated time and space, sending me an affectionate call.

Make an appointment with the fellow who was admitted together, bid farewell to your relatives and classmates in your hometown, set off for it, and truly embrace your dreams from then on.
