During the period of military service, there is only one family leave every year, and when I go to the college, like ordinary schools, there are winter and summer vacations every year, no need to ask for leave, I go home at the end of the semester, there are no constraints, and I can go wherever I want.

At the beginning, I was still a little unaccustomed, the sense of discipline left by the army was too strong, and the sense of being managed was too heavy, but I seemed a little overwhelmed, and I had to step on the train home with my fellow villagers, with a little unaccustomed, and the first year after enlisting was lively.

With the aura of a future republic officer on his head, he will be respected everywhere, and under such an aura, I and I were judged to be two people when I was in college, and I was completely relaxed after being nervous, and I was bold and cheerful.

Some memories will never be forgotten, and when I pick them up many years later, the details are still vivid, as if they happened yesterday, including some things that happened during the military school holidays.

Perhaps because I was admitted to the military academy and no longer had to go home to farm, I had no worries, so my father decided to give up the old house of Liangtian in Phoenix Mountain, and moved the family to live in Yuxia Middle School, the old house was lent to others to live in, and the good land was handed over to others to take care of.

The loss of such an arrangement is not much, the fertile land is taken care of by others, and some rice will be paid as land rent every year, and at that time the field still has a lot of public grain and retention to be paid, and the person who takes care of it is also responsible, so it is difficult to say how much loss there is.

Said to be the relocation of the family, in fact, parents and younger brothers, the elder sister worked outside, the eldest sister studied tailoring in the county, the younger sister had good grades, for some reason, and finally only passed the third middle school, maybe she also had a similar confusion and confusion to me, which affected her studies, and did not go to study after the examination, and chose the same path as her sister, followed her classmates and friends, and went to the coastal city to work.

In the past few years, the school has also changed, the original auditorium and canteen have been demolished, and two new dormitories for teachers and one student dormitory have been built, three dormitories are arranged from east to west, the north side is close to the hillside, the spacious canteen has been rebuilt, and the south side is near the rice field A new laboratory building has been built.

The first floor of the canteen is divided into several rooms such as the operation room, the teacher's and students' dining room, the dormitory and the warehouse, the teacher's dormitory building has two floors, each building has four households, three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom, the design is relatively reasonable, the middle staircase is separated, you can go directly to the flat top of the floor, the student dormitory and the laboratory building are three floors, longer than the teacher's dormitory building but narrower, single-sided in a row, one end of the stairs up and down, there is a corridor in front of the connection.

My parents live in the middle building, located on the second floor on the north side, with a flat roof on the upper floor, and my father planted a lot of vegetables and flowers, which is like a small garden.

The habit of the troops, after returning home, every early morning, the familiar sound of the military horn, it seems that it will always sound in the ears on time, habitually three to four folds, get up with the quilt, the family has not gotten up, often stand alone on the flat top of the building, overlooking the mountains, overlooking the fields, facing the morning breeze, there is a mood, can taste carefully, often stand for a long time.

When I went home, the sisters who were outside also came back, and the younger brother borrowed from the forestry primary school next to it, and the family was huddled together, and it was completely possible to stay, and the family affection was strong, and the whole New Year was full of laughter and laughter, and it was happy.

Visiting relatives is an essential content, every time almost the whole family goes out, several bicycles are well maintained by my father, all of them come in handy at this time, riding and riding, sitting and sitting, and I don't feel that the road is far away, and the pain of riding.

Going out to work, training alone, the sisters are very cheerful, very active, everywhere, can always let go, speak appropriately, behave generously, and have good knowledge, in contrast, I seem to be a little out of touch with society, and what I say is always inseparable from the army.

In addition to visiting relatives, I also visited classmates and friends, one of my classmates who studied in Yuxia Middle School that year had graduated from normal school, and was assigned to teach in Yuxia School.

No longer a teenager is shy, no longer meet silently, open his heart, the past scene, little by little in his mind, become an endless topic, endless emotion, and strive to decide fate, she only knew that she could not be worse than others in academic performance, so she had a hard work and enterprising, if there was a past, she also wanted to enter the university, step into the highest palace of life.

If it weren't for the army, I don't know what kind of fate I would have, maybe there is only a way out of the part-time job, maybe good or bad, but it is impossible to enter the university again.

During the second winter vacation, I met a classmate from Yuxia Middle School, she was the daughter of the director of academic affairs that year, and was admitted to the first middle school, and was admitted to Yichun Teachers College during the college entrance examination, with a three-year college diploma, just graduated, and was also assigned to teach in Yuxia Middle School.

I didn't know her situation, and I saw her by accident, once I went out, passed by the door of the old teaching building, and a figure turned out of the corner, and I almost bumped into it.

She may have heard about me, and before I could react, she had already recognized me and called out my name, with a youthful atmosphere, and with a girlish shyness, smiling and greeting exaggeratedly, bending down, looking surprised and happy.

At this time, she had established a romantic relationship with the same young teacher in the bath school, and after knowing it, she was restrained, less unrestrained, with a few letters to and fro, and not much contact, let alone unscrupulous conversation.

During the winter vacation of this year, I accidentally learned from my father that one of his former students was going to drive a truck to Hangzhou to pull goods, so he wanted to take it and go back to the old company to visit once.

My younger brother is in the first grade of junior high school at this time, and he has never been far away, out of love, I want to take him out, just like my father took me out of the past year, to get in touch with the outside world, as a way to broaden my horizons and increase my knowledge, and visit my fourth uncle in Zhejiang.

The idea was approved by my father, I wanted to give me the travel expenses before departure, I refused, the military school has a monthly allowance of more than 100, basically no consumption, I saved, every time I go home, I will bring this gift to my parents, I remember to buy a down jacket for my mother, I bought a health ball for my father, the allowance is meager, and I can only buy some more economical things.

A few days before the Spring Festival, one morning, the sky was bright, the truck tour officially started, the driver was alone, the cab just sat down my brother and me, the first time to take a truck hiking, did not feel any discomfort, but a sense of novelty.

Everything went smoothly when I first set off, the weather was good, the cab had a good view, and I could enjoy a lot of scenery along the way, and I was in a very comfortable mood.

Take the highway to charge, the driver chose to take the national highway, all the way down, the customs of the other place continue, about to see the long-lost comrades-in-arms, about to see the relatives who have not met for a long time, adding a bit of joy.

The wheels are rolling, through the Ganpan Plain, the journey soon enters the mountainous area, it is already the boundary of Zhejiang, at this time the sky is not beautiful, as soon as you enter the mountainous area, the sky begins to float snowflakes, to the evening it turns into goose feather snow, one after another, soon it covers the mountains and forests, but the rest is reckless, it is very spectacular.

The driver complained repeatedly, because the snow also fell on the road, after melting, it was extremely slippery, and the speed slowed down significantly.

The driver stopped the truck with a calm face, such weather is the most dangerous overnight, running around and toiling, but there is no way, I have to go, I saw him take out a few long chains from the car, skillfully put them on the wheels, make anti-skid preparations, and then continue to move forward.

Driving a vehicle has such a skill, once had a driver's dream to rise again, the sky is dark, the snow is fluttering, the road is steep, in order to refresh the driver, but also to satisfy the curiosity, with an open mind to continue to talk to the driver, when it comes to driving, the driver's gloomy expression is not seen, it seems particularly talkative, all the way down to know a lot of long-distance driving hardships, but also know some skills to deal with danger.

In the chatter, accompanied by the dark night, with the shaking of the body, at three or four o'clock in the morning, finally drove into Hangzhou, which had been absent for a long time.

When I arrived near Hangzhou, the driver asked me where to get off the car, and I stopped at once, Hangzhou is a soldier for half a year, except for some places of interest around the company, other places can not be detailed, said Nanshan Street, Gate, Liuhe Tower, Erlongtou, full of hope that the driver knows how to go.

As a result, he looked at me blankly, maybe he was just making a living, he had never entered the city, and he didn't know the attractions I mentioned, maybe he thought I was very familiar with Hangzhou, of course he thought I knew, who knew that I was a soldier and used my mind to take the exam, and I didn't know.

Finally, I remembered that when my mother came to see me, I mistakenly reported to them to Wulingmen for a transfer, so I said this name, and the driver of this place knew about it and sent me there soon after.

Get off after arriving at Wuling Gate, it was still quite simple at that time, there was a bus station nearby, the scale was about the same as the station in the hometown county, the street was empty, deserted.

The long-distance driver eats and lives all in the car, the cab is filled with a strange smell, after getting off the car, the fresh air comes to the face, there is a familiar taste, greedy sucked a mouthful, the biting cold wind followed, into the heart and spleen, couldn't help but shiver, quickly tightened the clothes and pants.

The truck politely sounded the horn, waved goodbye, the driver left, led his younger brother to the direction of the station, looked around, hoping to find a taxi, if you can't find it, you can only wait for the bus, at this time I knew that I misled my mother, got off the train and traveled a lot of miles here, and looked for the vehicle again, found the company, wasted the ticket money, and increased the pain of traveling.

My younger brother is young but very sensible, and he follows along, not to say that he is cold or bitter and tired, and he wears a pair of leather shoes when he leaves, and I don't know when the bottom is cracked, and the snow on the ground enters, and I don't say a word, or I don't know if I accidentally find out.

His upbringing is different from ours, he seems to be the youngest, pampered, in fact, several of us are quite strong, he has to listen to us in everything, rarely has his own opinions, maybe there is never a chance to express, after expression will not be adopted, and may even be reprimanded by us for this, so he has the weakest character.

His parents lived frugally, and he was also infected, and in his memory, he never fought for things from his parents, nor did he compare himself with other children, giving him what to eat, what to wear, and what to use.

Looking at his brother's open shoes, he suddenly felt inexplicably sad in his heart, always thinking that it could bring him happiness, but now he can't even solve the problem with a pair of shoes, not to mention the clothes on his body, which are frugal on the outside, and the sweater on the inside is still woven by his mother.

Counting the amount of money in his pocket, after deducting the fare and meal money, he should be able to buy him a decent pair of leather shoes.

I was thinking about it, and finally saw a red Xiali taxi coming, at that time in Hangzhou, there were two kinds of taxis, one was Santana, the other was Xiali, the two starting prices were different, the former was more expensive, and the latter was cheaper.

Got into the taxi, reported the location of the second faucet, the driver actually knew, stepped on the accelerator and drove away, Hangzhou in the middle of the night, all the way cold, it was difficult to see the figure, a long way, only this car was running.

When I walked to the Liuhe Tower, the driver said that he would not leave, Zhen Zhen had words, the road in front of him was not good, and he was afraid of encountering a robbery halfway, and spent 50 yuan on the fare, and he wanted to throw us halfway, what is going on.

The exchange was unsuccessful, so angry that I scolded the country, but I was helpless, I had to pull my brother out of the car, think about it and can't blame the driver, there was an experience on the long-distance bus when the military school reported to the military school, and the situation that the driver said was indeed possible.

The rest of the road is too familiar, when I followed the platoon commander to check the post many times, and when I visited the instructor who picked up the archives, the danger of the truck in the construction section occurred nearby, and the fellow was on duty at the Liuhe Tower, and he did not walk less.

The distance is not very far, there is a two-meter-wide sidewalk on the road, which is completely blocked by tall trees on both sides, and he took his younger brother to walk on this sidewalk, and walked in the direction of the company by the sparse street lamps.

Walking along the road, the mood ripples with the footsteps, there are too many memories of this road, the second company was once punished by the coach for beating the backpack and walked through, sat on the platoon commander's mountain bike to check the post and walked through, and walked to the Liuhe Tower to visit the villagers on duty.

Soon came to the third branch of Zhejiang University, along this road, I went to the school to play football with my comrades, followed the junior high school students who studied at Zhejiang University, and went here to play tennis; I have entered the campus to experience the reading environment, and I have been to the dormitory of college students to see the enterprising and hard work.

People, excited and always want to have someone to talk to, the younger brother next to him is too young, and he doesn't understand this, but he is a little distressed, following the long journey, but on his feet is a pair of open shoes with the soles off, the road is covered with snow, and this road must be very hard.

From childhood to adulthood, he blindly believed in his brother and never had any dissatisfaction, and he still does this, always trusting and always loving this only dear eldest brother.

After walking for nearly an hour, I finally arrived at the company, and there was a recruit standing guard at night, who didn't know me, and couldn't answer the order, so I could only report the name of the apprentice I had brought, and the apprentice was now the squad leader.

The former apprentice brought me in, opened the small warehouse next to the class, where I used to leave a figure of hard review, take a temporary rest, after dawn, wash up a little, use the breakfast arranged by the apprentice, and go to meet the company commander.

The company commander was still the company commander before reporting to the military academy, and he was very happy to see me, and after a while, he went to the Air Force Sanatorium to meet the platoon commander, who was still so handsome and chic, still so enthusiastic, and felt very warm in his heart.

The platoon commander took my younger brother and I on a tour of the scenic spots near the Air Force Sanatorium, and also brought a special camera, took a few photos, and the photos are still preserved, stayed for a day, returned to the company in the evening to rest for one night, and the next day stepped on the train to Ningbo.

When waiting for the train, I bought a pair of leather shoes for my younger brother in the shopping mall near the station, and waited until I got off the train in Ningbo, turned around to Ninghai, and then took the bus to Dajiahe, only to find that the calculation was wrong, the funds were exhausted, and it was not enough to go home.

That time I only saw the fourth uncle, did not see the cousin, the fourth uncle was very enthusiastic, but the lack of money but never opened the mouth, fortunately, the fourth uncle saw the young brother, very happy, generously gave a hundred page of gifts, this is also the custom of the hometown, the New Year is approaching, the elders see the younger generations, to give the New Year's money.

After staying for two days, it was close to the Spring Festival, bidding farewell to the fourth uncle, and with advice and greetings, he began to set off home. One hundred yuan of New Year's money solved the urgent need, and he pinched his fingers and calculated that he could barely get home.

The original plan to turn around the lead mountain to visit the eldest uncle was forced to be dispelled, and the tradition of thrift and hard work of the army was carried forward all the way.

Hungry, accompanied by the clicking sound of train rules, and Nanchang back to Fengxin because the road is being repaired, the long-distance bus swayed all the way, full of dust and finally returned home, dotted the ticket in his pocket, and there were eight cents left.
