After returning home, his parents had not returned, and Li Jun went to his grandmother's room first when he saw that the door of his grandmother's house was open and his luggage was still on his bicycle.

When I walked into the house, I saw my grandmother talking to the neighbor next door, and when I saw Li Jun enter the house, the neighbor got up from my grandmother's bed and said with a smile: "Xiao Jun is back, he has grown taller again, and now he is completely a young man." ”

Grandma also stood up and took Li Jun's hand and said, "Why are you back now?" Look at the sweat on this end, grandma fanned you. As he spoke, he picked up the pu fan on the bed and gently fanned Li Jun.

Li Jun looked at his grandmother's loving appearance and felt very happy in his heart, took the fan from his grandmother's hand and said, "We have a summer vacation, I'll fan it myself, you can rest." ”

Then he looked at the neighbor who was still standing next to him and said, "Auntie, sit down, I'll go and carry my luggage back to my house." With that, he put down his fan and walked to the door.

"I'm going back too, and I'm going to talk to your grandma about nothing." The neighbor didn't sit down anymore and followed Li Jun to the door.

Grandma sent the neighbor to the gate, and the two of them stood in the shade of the tree and said a few more words, Li Jun divided the luggage, threw the clothes to be washed into the washing machine, and threw the bedding and books into his room.

The house was not cool at all, but unusually sultry, because there was no shade in front of the house, and the hot sun was unacceptable in the room.

Li Jun walked out of the house and saw that his grandmother was still standing in the shade of the tree outside the door, so he walked out of the shade of the tree in the yard.

"Xiao Jun is back, on vacation?" The mother came riding from the east side of the street, got out of the car at the door, stood up, and said.

"Mom, it's a holiday, I have something to discuss with you." Li Jun desperately wanted to tell his mother about going to Beijing to work, after all, he had only seen Beijing on TV before, and he had seen the flag-raising ceremony that attracted the attention of thousands of people, and he still longed for Beijing.

"What's the matter, so urgent?" The mother casually glanced at the neighbor who was still talking to her grandmother, probably still afraid that Li Jun would get into trouble again and be laughed at by the neighbors.

"Mom, I want to go to Beijing during the holidays!" Li Jun directly threw out his destination!

"You still go to Beijing, how much does it cost to go to Beijing, if you want to go out for a walk, it is enough to go to your aunt in the city for a few days!" The mother's face suddenly turned unpleasant.

"Yes, Xiaojun, Beijing is the capital of the country, and I heard that things over there are very expensive!" The neighbors also heard what Li Jun said to his mother and comforted him.

"Mom, I haven't finished talking yet, look at you, I thought I was going to play, I went to work with Xinli and Gao Qi, and the three of us went to work to exercise ourselves!" Li Jun's face was full of unhappiness.

"What are you going to do? If only the three of you didn't cause trouble together! Mother was obviously not very interested in Li Jun's proposal.

When Li Jun said Yang Xinli's suggestion, his mother's face was still a little solemn, after all, it was also a growth experience for her child to take this step, and she was probably afraid that Li Jun would not be able to bear this hardship and worry about him.

The mother didn't say anything, but the grandmother on the side obviously couldn't bear to let her grandson suffer this, and she couldn't take care of the neighbors, so she took Li Jun's hand and said: "Xiaojun, you just stay at home, you don't have to work in the construction team, you don't have money, your father doesn't give it to your grandmother, grandma gives it to you, how can you stand the work of the construction team, and grandma can't bear to suffer from it!"

Looking at his grandmother's heartache, Li Jun said solemnly: "Grandma, I know that you all feel sorry for me and are afraid that I will suffer, but I am living too comfortably now, can I still suffer in the future, I still want to go out and exercise myself, it is a practice."

Saying that, Li Jun turned to his mother and said: "Mom, you and my dad have come from suffering since childhood, let me exercise myself, if I really can't stand it, I will admit it as a deserter."

Seeing the resoluteness on Li Jun's face, the two old men glanced at each other and didn't say anything more.

Li Jun was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that even if they agreed, his face showed a relaxed look.

The neighbors no longer wanted to participate in Li Jun's affairs, and went home on their own, Li Jun, his grandmother, and his mother also wanted to follow into the yard, but the grandmother didn't say anything, stroked Li Jun's head and went back to her house.

After the mother put the car in order, she said solemnly: "Since you have thought about it, my mother also believes that you can persevere, but you must also be mentally prepared, after all, don't give up lightly when you get out of the road, no matter how hard and tired you are, I hope you must persevere!"

"Mom, I know, I will definitely persevere!" Li Jun also replied with a straight face.

After her mother got the car in order, she went directly to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Li Jun returned to the room and called Yang Xinli to tell him that he had already told his mother and was waiting for his news.

"I called my brother-in-law when I got home, and he said that it should be the day after tomorrow, let us prepare our luggage, and specially said to bring a few old torn clothes, saying that it was very dirty and tiring to work." Yang Xinli's tone was no longer full of initial excitement.

"Xinli, why does it sound like you're going to retreat." Li Jun said with a smile.

"No, it's just better to be mentally prepared, I'll call Gao Qi and say, you have prepared everything in the past two days, and you are going to leave, and the construction site you went to this time is the family home of the Northern Air Command, and it is the compound of the army." Yang Xinli heard Li Jun's words with a sense of laughter, and he also cheered up again.

"Okay, at least there will be no chaos in the army compound, I will bring a few books and we can read books when we rest at night, I am looking forward to this life now, just like the suffering experienced by Sun Shaoping in "Ordinary World", we also experienced it once." Li Jun was even more excited.

"Do you also want to find a beautiful and lovely girl like Sun Shaoping?" Yang Xinli's tone no longer had the initial worries, and he was also laughing and joking.

"It's not impossible to run into one!" The two men were joking with each other on the phone.

The time and place were confirmed, and Li Jun went back to his room to dig out a few old clothes that he didn't like before, and then packed some of the luggage used in school.

The younger brother went home at noon and heard that Li Jun must go with him if he wanted to go to Beijing, but he knew that the purpose of Li Jun's trip was to work in the construction team, so he immediately dispelled the idea.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, Li Jun was completely immersed in his imagination of Beijing and the life he was about to begin.

The day of entering Beijing finally came, and at noon the next day, Gao Qi came to Li Jun's house with a woven bag on his back and wearing clothes of unknown era. Judging by the color of its clothes, it should have been worn by his father when he was working in the fields, and I don't know how long it had been worn, and the decoration age was even older than theirs, and it was dressed as an authentic migrant worker, with a slightly worn straw hat on his head.

Looking at Gao Qi's appearance, Li Jun and Yang Xinli couldn't stand up with a smile, but Gao Qi looked indifferent, watching the two of them lean back before laughing.

The car arrived at the south of Lijun Village at about two o'clock, looking at a dilapidated truck parked beside him, the expressions of the three people couldn't help but change a little, they thought it would be at least a passenger car, but in front of them was a large army-green truck, with a carport built with yellowed canvas on the body, and when the car was parked, several heads were exposed from the rear of the carport to observe the outside environment.

Yang Xinli's brother-in-law poked his head out of the cab and shouted to the three of them, throw the luggage from the back to the people above, and then, the three of you also went up to the car from the back to find a place to sit firmly, just waited for a few people in our village to come out late, and it would take 7 hours to walk, and we will try not to stop in the back.

The three of them didn't have time to be shocked or regret anymore, and hurriedly let people pick up their luggage and help each other climb into the car bed.

Li Jun was the last to climb up, and after being pulled into the car by Yang Xinli and Gao Qi, in the car box mixed with the smell of smoke and sweat, through the dim light, Li Jun saw that there were almost a dozen people in the car body, everyone leaned on the edge of the car box bare-chested on top of themselves and their luggage, some people were smoking cigarettes, and some people fell asleep directly on their luggage.

Being hit by the mixed smell of the trunk, Li Jun unconsciously retched, something in his throat rolled up a few times, and was forcibly pressed down by himself, Li Jun put his luggage down close to the back of the car, and then sat down with his head towards the back of the car.

Yang Xinli and Gao Qi probably both felt the same way as Li Jun, and they both sat next to Li Jun with iron faces, and the three of them didn't speak, just looked at each other silently.

The car rushed forward with the sound of a rumbling motor, and the bump in the rear of the trunk hit Li Jun's ass from time to time, and Li Jun finally understood why everyone preferred to squeeze into the front half of the trunk and leave the back empty.

The car ran, the wind continued to blow into the trunk through the gap in the canvas, the smell of smoke and sweat finally dissipated, the car ran faster and faster, the wind blew Li Jun's slightly long hair and drifted up, watching the trees behind him continue to disappear into the distance, Li Jun's mood finally improved.

The snoring in the trunk kept coming into his ears, and the people who didn't sleep kept making all kinds of rude jokes, but Li Jun felt that all this was not as bad as he saw, maybe this was also a life experience of his own, he squinted his eyes, enjoying the breeze comfortably, thinking about Beijing not far away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

The sky gradually darkened, although Yang Xinli's brother-in-law no longer stopped halfway, but there were more than a dozen people in the car who would always have to pee and go to the toilet, and he still did not reach the destination this time when it was completely dark, and in the end, Li Jun didn't care how bumpy the car was, and leaned on his luggage roll and fell asleep in a daze.
