The early morning in this small city begins with a bustling morning market. It's Sunday, and people who have been busy for a week start their day's shopping early in the morning to reward their hard work. Lin Han followed her mother Wang Xiaojuan to visit the morning market, her mother bought pork filling, shrimp and leeks, and by the way, she also bought a piece of small ribs and some green vegetables. Last night, his son Lin Tao called and said that he would not come back for the Spring Festival this year, asked them to go there for the New Year, and told them the good news that they were about to become grandparents. This is nothing less than a sudden happiness, the old couple immediately agreed to their son, Lin Han didn't want to go on the excuse that the time was too short, and finally agreed under the persuasion of the two.

When the two returned home, their father Lin Mingxiang had already cleaned up the house, put the dirty clothes in the washing machine and washed them, made tea early, and was watching TV and drinking tea leisurely. Not sleeping lazily is a good habit he has developed in the army, and he has left the army for more than ten years in a blink of an eye, but this habit has never changed. After breakfast, because it was okay today, Lin Han helped her mother Wang Xiaojuan pick leeks, and told her mother to pack more dumplings, and she was going to send some to Zhang Qianqian today.

Before leaving that day, Xiao Jianfei told her that when she came back, she would go to see Zhang Qianqian for him, and gave Lin Han 200 yuan and asked her to hand it over to Zhang Qianqian for living expenses. Lin Han told his parents about Zhang Qianqian's family, and after the two sighed, they praised Xiao Jianfei again, such a kind child, he was relieved to hand over his daughter to him. Lin Mingxiang was also interested in showing Lin Han old photos of his previous days in the army, and recalled those things when he was in the army.

"Why don't I remember?" Lin Han asked.

"You were young." Dad said. "At that time, your mother saw that the two of you were really hard, you were often sick when you were a child, one night you had a high fever and fell unconscious, your mother was frightened, and woke up the neighbors in the middle of the night, your Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang rode a tricycle to send you to the hospital, and when you arrived at the hospital, I remembered that your brother was still at home, and your Uncle Zhang went back to see your brother, and Aunt Zhang stayed with you."

"Then why don't we stay in the compound permanently?" Lin Han asked.

"Your mother is far away from work, and it just so happens that her unit also has a house." Dad explained.

"So, if you find someone to be a soldier, you have to be mentally prepared." Mom reminded.

"That's no problem, wherever we go in the future, we will take you with us, and we will have no worries." Lin Han said confidently.

"That's hard to say." Mom shook her head in disapproval.

Seeing Zhang Qianqian again, the little girl's spirit is much better than last time. "Where's the brother?" She was still thinking about Xiao Jianfei.

"He was on a business trip, and he asked me to come and see you." Lin Han gave her the dumplings that had just been ordered, and by the way, he also handed her the two hundred yuan, "Your brother gave it to you." ”

She pushed away, "I don't want it, I still have money." ”

Lin Han forced her to "See what you need, don't be wronged." ”

Zhang Qianqian accepted it embarrassedly. "I'll repay you later." She said seriously.

Lin Han patted her, "If you are admitted to high school and university, it is the best reward." ”

Leaving the school and seeing the phone booth on the side of the road, Lin Han couldn't help but call Xiao Jianfei, she told him that she had just gone to see Qianqian, and she was much better than before, and asked him about his condition again, and he said that he felt much better, and after staying at home for another week, he was ready to go back to school.

"When you come back, you can stay at my house." Lin Han said innocently, "I will make you good food every day to ensure that you recover well, I will tell them about Zhang Qianqian, and my parents will rest assured of you." ”

"I always put everyone at ease." The other end of the phone said humorously.

"You just make me feel reassured." Lin Han replied.

Lin Han also told him the news of going to Lin Tao's side for the New Year this year.

"Oh......" Xiao Jianfei didn't say anything, I don't know if he was happy or regretful.

After hanging up the phone, she walked aimlessly on the sidewalk, and suddenly found that her life was nothing but work, which was the love that had just begun. She felt that she didn't even have a friend to talk to, and her only best friend, Xu Hui, was out of town. It turned out that her life was so monotonous, and she hoped that Xiao Jianfei would come back soon.

A week later, when Xiao Jianfei returned to school, Lin Han went to Beijing with his parents to handle the visa interview.

On the day Xiao Jianfei returned to school, a small welcome ceremony was supposed to be held, but when he was asked for his opinion, he disagreed and canceled it. His third-class merit was still approved, and in the evening, the school leaders invited a few tables of banquets in the school cafeteria to celebrate his achievements. Seeing my comrades-in-arms again, a long-lost cordial feeling. After nearly two months of recuperation, his spirit has been on the verge of depression, and he stays in the hospital every day, but his mind is full of unfinished teaching tasks and a report on this emergency. Through personal experience, he felt more and more that the actual combat experience of the current students is quite lacking, although he is not a few years older than these students, but their hard-working, hard-working perseverance is inferior to his own generation. Since the 70's counterattack against Vietnam, the country has been in a period of peace, the army is born for war, for the war to serve, peacetime army, how to have the ability to defend the country when the war comes suddenly, this is a problem faced in the education of modern non-commissioned officers, especially like the arms they serve, mastering the world's advanced national defense technology, only by training excellent non-commissioned officers, can meet the needs of modern warfare.

During his time in the hospital, he read several new books on modern warfare and the quality of soldiers, and he benefited greatly from the new ideas and ideas in them. Some traditional teaching methods have gradually failed to meet the needs of contemporary development, and there are still many things to learn in this area. Next year's postgraduate studies will be a good opportunity for him, and he is looking forward to next year.

After Lin Han and his parents completed the interview, he stayed at the third uncle's house for a few days, and heard that he was going to see Lin Tao abroad, the third uncle was not worried about his father's heart, so he specially asked for a day off, and Lin Han's parents went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and only after getting the doctor's approval did he put his mind at ease.

On the night when he first returned home, Lin Han made an appointment with Xiao Jianfei, and the two of them took a walk by the reservoir near the military school.

"I miss you." She said coquettishly.

He didn't say anything, just hugged her tightly in his arms.

She told him that the industry had started another week of business training, which was scheduled in the evening, and because she had taken a few days off early, she had no rest time on weekends. He asked her when she was leaving, and Lin Han said that the specific time depended on the ticket.

Xiao Jianfei smiled, "What if I am fascinated by that side and don't come back?" ”

Lin Han shook his head and said it was impossible.

He quoted a lyric: "The outside world is wonderful." ”

"It's also helpless." Lin Han continued.

He put down her hand and asked her to make a straight appearance, and then pretended to have a serious expression: "After you go out, you must ensure absolute loyalty to the party, and you will not commit treason or defect to the enemy." ”

"I'm not a party member." Lin Han had an expression of indifference.

"I represent the party." He said decisively.

Lin Han pursed his lips and glanced at him, "That party must also be absolutely loyal to the people." ”

After the two high-fived, they smiled heartily at each other.
