(I always thought that happiness was in the distance, in the future that could be chased.) Later, I found out that those who have hugged, shook hands, sung songs, shed tears, loved people, and the so-called once were happiness. In countless nights, the words spoken, the phone calls made, the people missed, the tears shed...... Touched by what we saw or couldn't see, we all had it, and then in the shuttle of time, everything became eternal!)

The morning in my hometown is so quiet, so pure, and so beautiful. The light of dawn lifts the light veil of night and spits out the brilliant morning glow.

When the first rays of morning light shine through the mist, the street ushers in a warm morning, at this time, everything in the street is shrouded in soft morning light, and the willow trees beside the road hang their heads and softly accept the morning sun.

I rubbed my hazy sleepy eyes, then sat up, looked at Wang Junyu who was sleeping soundly next to me, and stood up cautiously, not wanting to disturb his appearance when he was asleep.

I walked slowly and softly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and rinsed my cheeks for a while, wiped the water beads rolling on my face with a towel, and looked at myself in the mirror, as if I had changed a little from before.

I can't say the specifics, maybe it's the absence of two tear stains on my face, or the addition of a little beard, compared to before, I think this is the real me, smiling at the other self in the mirror.

After washing up, I picked up my suitcase softly and slowly and walked out, I wanted to say goodbye to Wang Junyu, but seeing him sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear to disturb him, so I said goodbye without saying goodbye.

Dragging my suitcase to the street, I took a taxi, and took the taxi in the direction of home, through the window, I saw a ray of sunlight looming through the window, feeling a breeze through the gap in the window, each breeze blowing on my face, making my whole body full of an indescribable sense of comfort.

Not long after, the taxi came to the door of the community, I dragged my suitcase into the familiar community, and when I took the elevator to the door, I reached out and knocked on the door.

I heard a voice coming from the door, coming, coming, I knew it was my mother as soon as I heard it, and the moment my mother opened the door and saw that it was me, the whole person was very emotional.

Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, you're back, quick, quick, come in, let Mom take a look and see if you've lost weight in the past few years.

Mom, your son and I are very strong, but you have lost a lot of weight, a few wrinkles on your forehead, and your hair has turned a lot gray!

It's okay, Xiaoyuan, mom is thinking about you, now it's okay, you're back, the child's father, Xiaoyuan is back, don't take your newspaper all day long and read it, you always read it to me before the child came back, why is it back now, I have nothing to say.

I'm coming back, I'm going to be a father, and I'm going to hold him in my arms! Besides, I can't hold it anymore when I'm old.

It's really old, and you can't speak properly, so come on, you can live with your newspaper! It's rare for me to take care of you, Xiaoyuan! In fact, your dad wants you back more than anyone else, but he just has a hard mouth.

Well, Mom, I know, I miss you so much.

Xiaoyuan, will you come back this time?

Mom, don't go back, your son and I graduated.

Why did you graduate so soon, Mom, I'm old, I can't accept old age! I can't remember the last time you came back, and you said that you won't come back to spend the New Year with your dad and me in the past few years.

Mom, I was busy at school at the time, so I didn't care about it, but this time your son is back, so I can spend more time with you.

Okay, okay, mom won't nag anymore, mom will make food for you, you put your suitcase away and watch TV first!

Watching my mother happily walk to the kitchen, she was smiling when she chopped vegetables, and muttered "My son Xiaoyuan is back".

After placing the suitcase, I walked to the hall and turned on the TV to watch, my father looked at me from time to time, I knew in my heart that in fact, my father also missed me very much in the past few years, but he always refused to show it.

Dad put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at me and said, "Xiaoyuan, you graduated, do you plan to do anything?" ”

Dad, I have thought about it, I am ready to join the army, and while I am still young, I will dedicate my blood and economy to the country.

Joining the military is great, but aren't you going to think about getting a job? While your dad is not retired yet, I still have some connections, and I can help you arrange it.

Dad, thank you for your kindness, you know, I've always been disgusted with trusting relationships through the back door.

Hey, how can you say it's through the back door! With your academic qualifications and knowledge, you are completely competent! No one will have an opinion.

Dad, I think about it, I want to be a soldier, I want to take advantage of my youth, I want to contribute my strength to the country and society, and at the same time, I can also exercise my body.

Xiaoyuan, have you thought about it? You go to the army, and your mother and I are left at home, I'm fine, you can read the newspaper, do you know how much your mother misses you all these years of studying? How many times your mom often mentions you in her dreams, you don't think about how your mom has been here these years.

I didn't speak, my mother walked out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, Xiaoyuan, go, go to be a soldier, as long as you are happy, Mom will be happy.

the kid, are you willing to go far away to be a soldier in the army?

What is reluctant, as long as Xiaoyuan is happy, my mother will fully support it unconditionally.

Looking at the smile on my mother's cheeks and the crumpled dimples, the gray hair and drooping eyelids, and a few wrinkles on the forehead, I felt something indescribable.

Tears rolled in his eyes, his nose ached, and his knees knelt down, Mom, my son knows that you and my dad have lived very lonely in the past few years, and there is no warmth at home, but my son has already thought clearly about his determination to be a soldier and defend his family and country.

Okay, okay, Xiaoyuan, get up quickly, don't kneel on the ground and catch a cold, Mom promised you.

I knelt on the ground and looked at my father, and my mother said to my father, "Son, father, you agree!"

Okay, okay, I agree! But let's say it first, this is what you agree, don't go to Xiaoyuan to be a soldier when the time comes, you mention it to me.

Rest assured! Not to mention, as long as Xiaoyuan can stay in the army well and live the life he wants to live, I will rest assured that I will be a mother.

I stood up and sat down slowly on the sofa, and my mother went into the kitchen and put all the dishes on the table and shouted, "Child, Dad, Xiaoyuan, it's time to eat."

My father and I walked to the chair next to the table and sat down, and my mother filled a bowl of rice and handed it to me, Xiaoyuan, these are your favorite foods, you eat more.

Just as I was eating with relish, my mother asked, "Xiaoyuan, didn't you have a girlfriend before?" When you were in high school, you were too young, and your dad and I were embarrassed to ask, but now that we have graduated from college, when will you bring them back to meet! ”

I put down the dishes and chopsticks, Mom, that incident has passed, let's not mention it, just when Mom wanted to ask quickly, Dad motioned to Mom and asked Mom not to mention it.

Okay, okay, let's not mention it.

After eating, I went into my bedroom and turned on my computer to check the "National Conscription Network." Not long before the autumn conscription, I quickly filled in the information on the "National Conscription Network" and registered.

Time passed quickly, I stayed for almost a month after returning home, and after passing the physical examination and political examination of the recruits, I sat at home and waited for Hou Jiayin.

My mother bought some good vegetables from the vegetable market and prepared a good meal for me.

It didn't take long for my mother to cook a table full of delicious food, shouting as usual, "Daddy, child, Xiaoyuan, come to dinner."

Yo, these dishes tonight are quite sumptuous, and they are almost in time for the New Year, Dad said with a smile.

Mom responded: "This is for Xiao Yuan, of course, we have to make a meal according to the standards of the New Year", and besides, Xiao Yuan has not come back for a good year in these years, so let's celebrate the New Year today!

Listening to my mother's words, some tears welled up in my eyes from time to time, and I rubbed my eyes with my hands to prevent my mother from seeing them.

Xiaoyuan, what's wrong with your eyes.

Mom, no, it's nothing, I just accidentally got the spicy juice into my eyes when I was eating, but it's okay, I'll just rub it.

You kid, eat slowly, don't worry, no one will grab the dishes on this table.

Guess who I met today, Mom said a little pretentiously.

Who else can you meet, isn't it your sisters who square dance with you all day long, Dad said hurriedly.

On the side, you don't talk to no one when you're dumb, Mom scolded Dad angrily.

Xiaoyuan, when my mother went to buy vegetables today, I met Aunt Zhang and her daughter Xiuzhen in the community, don't you say it, this girl has changed eighteen, it turned out that Xiuzhen was a very small girl, but I didn't expect that today I would grow into a big girl, and I look so smart! You don't see it, Mom said with a smile.

Mom then said: "By the way, Xiaoyuan, while you haven't gone to the army yet, I want you to get to know Xiuzhen, what do you think?" ”

Mom, I don't want to think about that now, I'm about to go to the army, and I don't have time to think about it, you wait for me to come back from the army in the future, and I will definitely be able to bring you a beautiful daughter-in-law to show you.

No, Xiaoyuan, listen to me, your mother and I are not antiques, I just want you and Xiuzhen to get to know each other, if you think it's not good, you can discuss it again.

Mom, I don't need to see it, although I haven't seen Xiuzhen for several years, even if Xiuzhen looks like a shy flower in the moon, sinking fish and geese, then I can't let people wait for me to retire!

Xiaoyuan, I told you Aunt Zhang, if you don't go, you can't hold your mother's face!

Mom, it's okay, so be it! In order not to let you lose face, you tell me Aunt Zhang's contact information, and I will call and say to Aunt Zhang, you think it's always okay!

Come on, this kid, mom doesn't force you, but you should also think about yourself.

Well, Mom, I know, don't worry! I'm as good as your son, I'm afraid I won't find a good girl, I said with a smile.

Since you've said so, I won't force you to be a mother, you can do it yourself!

After dinner, the mobile phone rang, I took out the mobile phone and looked at it, it turned out to be Zhao Zhiwei, I quickly answered, hey, Brother Yuan, why don't you come back without notifying! If it weren't for Xiaoya calling and chatting with me and saying that you were back, I would still be in the dark!

No, no, I didn't notify anyone before I came back, so I got off the train and chatted with Wang Junyu.

Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, so let's get together a few brothers.

No, Zhiwei, thank you for your kindness, I was conscripted into the army online before, and I am going to go to the armed forces department tomorrow, so I can't come to play with you tonight, and I will have a good drink with you after I am discharged from the army.

All right! Brother Yuan, you have a good journey, and when you come back, brother and I will make a fortune with you after making some achievements.

Well, okay, no problem.

After hanging up the phone, I went to the armed forces department to recuperate early tomorrow morning, and I washed up and went to bed.
