When I returned to the compound, I happened to meet Fang Mei and a few people who were going out to eat.

Seeing him come back, Fang Mei said with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't come back today!" Grab the lunch box! ”

"Hey, yes!!"

Yang Xiaole went to the room with a smile, took out the lunch box, and followed a few people to the cafeteria.

"How's it going? Why did you come back so early today? ”

Yang Laosan asked him with a smile.

"You'll find out in a moment!!"

"Drink, it's so mysterious! It's a harvest at first glance, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so early~~"

After Yang Laosan finished speaking, he made a joke: "Did you hit two rabbits or a yellow sheep?" ”

A few people came to the cafeteria with a smile.

"The engineering team has beaten so many wild boars, and now we can have a good year."

"Yes! That pig is so fat! ”

"I heard that how to eat this pork, the field department is going to hold a conference to study it!"

……

As I walked along the road, I heard people talking about it.

Hearing this voice, Yang Laosan was surprised: "Wild boar? You can't be the one who hit it, right? How many hits? ”

Yang Xiaole smiled: "Well, there were seven heads in total, two heads of more than 300 catties, and five heads of more than 100 catties." ”

"Mom, that's a lot!"

Yang Laosan was surprised for a moment, and then sneered and said, "Aren't you going to eat pork?" Do you want to hold a conference to study it? ”

Fang Mei glanced at him, and said angrily: "You still think it's in Kyoto?" ”

Then he continued: "You know what? Our factory was going to kill a pig at the end of the year and eat it in the canteen, and then they all scored meat tickets, you know, no one who performed well on this meat ticket didn't have this meat. For this bit of meat, it's all a mess at the bottom. ”

"As for it?"

Yang Laosan didn't understand his face, they have less ration now, so they won't be like this for a little meat!

"It's not like I'm going to support you! We haven't seen meat since June, and the food has been transferred to you. It's not good to say that you're starving people there. You don't know, some of our villages are out of business......"

Fang Mei said this, and didn't say anything more.

Yang Laosan also sighed when he heard this.

A few people came to the cafeteria, made a little cabbage soup and a steamed bun and went back to the dormitory directly.

In fact, it is impossible to eat enough of this little thing.

But in this way, it is already better than the soldiers at the base, at least this steamed bun is big enough.

Back in the dormitory, a few people had eaten and were ready to go out for a walk.

Company Commander Liu came over suddenly: "Don't leave yet, I'm looking for you something." Come with me. ”

Hearing this, several people were at a loss for a while.

I followed him to the small room next to him.

After coming to the place, he motioned for these people to sit down, and then Company Commander Liu spoke: "After organizing and researching, it has been decided that you will be able to go home in a few days." ”

"Really?"

Yang Laosan's surprise for a while!

can be regarded as being able to go back, and this will soon be a small year.

Company Commander Liu nodded: "Well, the field department held a meeting this morning to study and decide, and the problem you can solve has been solved for the time being, and there is no need for you to stay here anymore." ”

Then he continued: "As for when to leave, this has to wait for the notice, and if you leave this time, there is no last transport plane to transport, after all, the last time was more urgent, this time we will send you to the designated train station, and then you take the train back, but you don't have to worry about tickets and meals, someone on the train will deal with it for you." ”

"Huh? Shall we go back ourselves? It took us about ten hours to take the plane, how long did it take to get back by car? ”

"It's a long way, it should be about ten days!"

"Huh? Then you can't go home for the New Year? ”

Company Commander Liu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Not necessarily, there are still ten days to celebrate the New Year, if there are fewer cars parked in the middle, it should be able to catch up with the New Year." ”

"Gotcha! Should? That's unlikely. ”

After all, it's not yet clear when you'll leave!

Hearing this, Lao Liu said with a smile: "The people of the organization are already in contact, there should be results in the afternoon, and they may set off tomorrow morning!" When the time comes, I will lead the team and escort you back. ”

Several people knew that there was no way to do it.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lao Liu put away his smile and said solemnly: "Okay, the notice of going back has been notified to you, and now I will relive the confidentiality of this matter with you again, I hope you don't make mistakes." ”

Several people also put away their smiles and listened to Lao Liu with a serious face.

The secrecy regulations must be reaffirmed repeatedly.

Also, of course, you can't divulge anything related to the base.

It's anything.

After the explanation, he continued: "After you go back, find the person who introduced you as soon as possible, they will have your action report during this time, and you should keep in mind the action report. Do you hear that? ”

"Hmm!"

"Got it!"

……

Naturally, a few people nodded in agreement.

After talking for a long time, several people nodded.

Seeing this, Lao Liu said: "Okay, that's all, the rest of you wait for the notice, Kong Dali, Fang Mei and Yang Laosan, you three comrades stay, I have something to tell you." Others can leave. ”

Yang Xiaole stood up when he heard this, and left with Lao Liu.

It's also not clear what several people were talking about there.

Yang Xiaole returned to his dormitory, lay on the bed and stretched.

"Hey, I can finally go back~~"

Then I thought that Lao Luo asked him to bring money home, and asked Lao Liu for a while, because he had to go through them.

Lao Liu's conversation ended not long after.

Fang Mei and the others all had dull faces, and their expressions were a little serious.

Yang Xiaole was strange for a while: "Sister Fang, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Mei turned her head when she heard this, and shook her head with a smile: "It's okay!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole knew what the estimated secrecy regulations were, and Kong Dali also had the same expression.

As for Yang Laosan, he didn't care.

Company Commander Liu came over from there with his hands behind his back: "Yang Xiaole, I have something to do with you!" You come in for a moment. ”

"Oh!"

Yang Xiaole followed in.

After coming in, Company Commander Liu took out some money from his pocket and handed it to him: "This is the money that Luo Jinping and the Zhengzhi Department applied to send home, let me transfer it to you." It's 93 yuan in total, he should have told you! ”

Yang Xiaole took the money and nodded: "Well, I said it, but he said that it would be agreed by the organization." ”

"Well, the organization has agreed, but this money can't be in Luo Jinping's name for the time being, after you go back, use someone else's name to give this money to his family."

After Lao Liu finished speaking, he gestured: "You order!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took the money and began to count it.

After ordering, he looked up: "Well, the money is right. ”

"Okay, my task is complete, you don't go out in the afternoon, wait for the notice, there is a possibility of departure at any time!"

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Thinking of something, he asked him, "By the way, Company Commander Liu, how did you get the letter?" It's impossible not to get in touch, right? How do you write the address here? Or to which troops? ”

Lao Liu said directly when he heard this: "The 328th regiment, I can only say so much, and I can't say anything else." ”

"Then if I write a letter to my teacher, can I just write it like this? Don't want an address? Don't get me wrong! I'm not asking about this place, or the address where the letter is written. ”

"If you write the 328th regiment, the letter can be sent, and the post and telecommunications bureau has its own system. Okay, I won't tell you, I still have something to do, I have to prepare! ”

After speaking, Lao Liu left.

After the others left, Yang Xiaole walked out of the room.

Yang Laosan's room next door was also empty of cards at this time.

One is leaving, and the other is that Kong Dali and Fang Mei seem to have something on their minds, but they can't say it.

In the afternoon, a few people were in the compound and did not go out anywhere.

In the evening, I was told to leave tomorrow at dawn.

"Xiaole, where are the socks! Bring it and I'll wash it for you. ”

After eating, Fang Mei shouted at him.

Yang Xiaole smiled and took the dirty socks, which Fang Mei had washed for her in the past few days.

As for the socks, they were naturally a pair issued by the troops, as well as a pair of pants, after all, they didn't prepare anything when they came.

The other party has been treating him as a younger brother for this time.

Seeing her washing clothes in the yard, Yang Xiaole hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister Fang, what's the matter?" I think you're a little unhappy, what's wrong? ”

Hearing this, Fang Mei paused for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that the organization wants the three of us to stay!" ”

"Huh? And Kong Dali and Yang Laosan? ”

"Hmm!"

"What about you...... All stayed? ”

Fang Mei shook her head: "Yang Laosan is unwilling, Kong Dali said that he wants to go home and think about it." ”

"Sister Fang, what about you?"

"Me!"

Fang Mei hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I haven't thought about it yet!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole bowed his head lightly and didn't ask any more.

Early the next morning.

The sky was slightly bright, the wake-up call sounded, and everyone got up.

Just waiting to leave today.

Just when everyone packed up and came to the compound, they didn't see Fang Mei's figure.

Yang Xiaole was also looking around there.

Even if you don't leave, at least I'll come out and give one away!!

"Company Commander Liu, where is Sister Fang?"

Yang Xiaole looked around and asked him.

Lao Liu smiled and was about to speak.

"It's coming, it's coming."

I saw Fang Mei coming over with a basin: "Yesterday, Company Commander Liu explained that it may take you two days to drive on the road, and you will have six steamed buns per person." Come! ”

Then they were divided for everyone.

"In two days along the way, there are only six steamed buns?"

Yang Laosan inquired there.

Seeing this, Lao Liu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will go to some supply points halfway, there is food there." This one is just in case. Let's take it first. ”

After saying that, he also picked it up.

Naturally, there are two people next to them, Chen Hongjun and Zheng Guangrong.

There was also a man sitting in the passenger seat.

The last one is Yang Xiaole: "Give, load, eat hungry on the way!" ”

Stuffed him with eight steamed buns in one go.

Yang Xiaole looked at the steamed bun and hesitated: "Sister Fang, is it too much?" ’

"What? You're hungry fast, okay, it's almost dawn, let's go! ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought about it, and finally nodded and didn't say anything.

Lao Liu looked at everyone and smiled: "Okay, let's get in the car, eat a steamed bun first, drink less water, don't be lazy donkey grinding and urine!" ’

Then he went to the co-pilot with a smile.

Seeing this, Chen Hongjun and several people got into the car one after another.

Yang Xiaole got into the car and heard Fang Mei say there: "Kong Dali, and Yang Laosan, you are all big men, Xiaole is still a child, take care of it on the road." ”

Kong nodded vigorously.

Yang Laosan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't bully him." ”

"Boom~~"

The car started and set off directly.

"Sister Fang, goodbye!"

Yang Xiaole stood there and waved his hand at Fang Mei.

"Be careful on the road!"

Fang Mei's shouting voice came from behind him.

After a while, the car turned crookedly and set off.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole sat down directly.

Yang Laosan sighed there: 'Mom, in two days, just sitting in this car, your ass has to be turned upside down!' Why is it so far away! ’

Several people felt the same when they heard this.

Two days on the train is enough to suffer, and this truck is two days away, and it is estimated that the legs are not their own.

When the car came to the gate of the base, I thought it was for inspection, but I didn't expect five people to come up again.

Seeing this, Zheng Guangrong smiled and said, "This is the person who went home to visit relatives." ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole glanced at it, not only their car, but also two trucks next to it, a total of three cars.

Outside, Lao Liu was talking to people and checking the number of people.

After a while, the car departed.

It's sunny today, except for a little cold, but overall it's good.

"Hey, I haven't been home for years, and I don't know what's going on at home!"

"How many years have you been? I've been six years old! ”

"You haven't been home for six years, the most in our class for more than ten years, and you only went home once this year."

"Yes, it's not easy to go home!"

……

A few people in the carriage were talking there.

Yang Xiaole listened for a while, and estimated that many of these people had not been home for many years, but they were not in this base.

Because this base seems to have only been under construction for more than a year.

I guess I haven't been home since I was in the army before.

Some even did not return home before liberation, and never returned home after liberation.

With the bumps of the car, as well as the sand dunes, hills, and barren Gobi Desert that appear from time to time behind it, the car rushed towards its destination.

Fortunately, the big sandstorm that everyone was worried about did not appear.

Scattered strong winds are uncomfortable for people.

The car drove for more than ten hours, and at dusk, it was replenished with oil and water at a base.

As for what Lao Liu said, he didn't see it.

Then another night drive.

For a day and a night, the people in the car have long been like wilted chickens, and they have no interest in talking, except for sleeping, they just change their posture to sleep.

Along the way, apart from the dunes, hills, mountains, and kopecks, there are hardly many green gathering places to be seen.

Except for the sporadic groves seen some, the large forests are almost invisible.

Even in some mountains, there are not many trees to be seen.

There is only a shallow layer of turf.

I don't know if the route is a special bypass to a place where people gather, or if the area is full of terrain and landforms.

After a night's journey, at about eight o'clock the next day, the car slowly drove into a gathering area, and people saw a large area of farmland.

The car drove into the compound of the regimental headquarters guest house and was called out of the car by Lao Liu.

"Alright, get out of the car."

Hearing this, everyone got out of the car.

However, after coming down, I felt that my walking was uneven, and I felt like the world was spinning.

"Xiaole, help me!"

Yang Laosan got out of the car, a little unsteady, and hurriedly shouted when he looked at Yang Xiaole.

Kong Dali was not in a very good state, and said with a smile when he saw this: "Fang Mei also said that you should take care of Xiaole, you are good, and let the family take care of you." ”

Hearing this, Yang Laosan said helplessly: "I don't want to either!" They don't listen to their legs and feet. ”

Not only him, but the other fighters were slightly better, but they were also in poor shape.

But it's not just like he can't stand.

"All assembled!"

In my thoughts, I heard Lao Liu's voice.

Then more than 30 people in two cars stood directly in three rows.

Yang Xiaole and the four of them naturally passed over and stood in a row alone.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Lao Liu came to the side and saluted and shook hands with the people who were already waiting.

Lao Liu smiled and said to the person in front of him, "I'm sorry for you." ”

The other party withdrew his hand and said politely: "You're welcome, we received a notice from the Corps yesterday, and it is estimated that you should be able to arrive this morning without encountering any special circumstances, and breakfast is ready for you." ”

Lao Liu nodded, "Thank you!" ”

Then he shouted to the crowd: "Zheng Guangrong! ”

"Here!"

"Take them to dinner, and the driver will drive the car to resupply first."

"Yes!"

There were several people who answered him.

Then the group was taken to the cafeteria.

A little radish soup for one person, two mixed noodles steamed buns.

Although it was still very bad, at least it was eaten hot, and it was all cold food that day and night.

Yang Xiaole and the others sat together after dinner.

Curiously, he asked Lao Liu: "Company commander, which unit of the Construction Corps is here?" 431 regiment? Which division? ”

As soon as I passed by the regimental headquarters from the gate, I saw a sign hanging at the door.

Construction Corps, there is nothing that cannot be asked about this.

It's not a confidential unit, and he hasn't asked indiscriminately.

Lao Liu nodded: "Indeed, this is the regimental headquarters guest house of the 38th Regiment of the 43rd Division, what's wrong?" Acquaintances here, too? ”

Yang Xiaole smiled helplessly: "Indeed." There is a person in our compound, and her mother is in the 7th Battalion and 6th Company of the 418th Regiment under the 38th Division. ”

Hearing this, Lao Liu was strange for a while.

"Oh! What is it called, I'll listen to it and see if I know it. ”

As they spoke, the middle-aged man who had received them before asked with a smile.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "I only know that his surname is Zhang, and her mother's name is Chen Yuting." ”

The other party thought for a while, thought of something, and asked, "Is it a little girl from Kyoto?" ”

"Oh, yes! Have you seen it? ”

"Hehe, I've seen it! It was the beginning of the year, and I lived here for a long time! ”

Then he smiled at Lao Liu and said, "You don't know, after she came, many of our guys here wanted to find a daughter-in-law in Kyoto." ”

Seeing this, Lao Liu smiled and said, "What? Are you getting along? Would you like to get someone over for you? ”

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "Company Commander Liu, you better go back and take care of Sister Fang first!" Otherwise, I will go back and write to Sister Fang in the future! ”

Several people could see that Fang Mei was interesting to Lao Liu.

I just don't know how it turned out.

Hearing this, Lao Liu's face turned pale: "What nonsense!" ”

Yang Xiaole smiled and then smiled: "I'll just talk about it, but it's okay, don't bully my sister!" ”

Then he smiled at the person who had just spoken next to him: "I'll just ask casually, I haven't seen anyone, I just listened to the people in our compound." Just remember this place. ”

Hearing this, the other party smiled and didn't ask more.

I thought it was very familiar!

Lao Liu looked at the other party and asked, "Director Chen, let me ask, what's wrong here?" I think martial law is quite powerful! ”

In the middle, I encountered several groups of sentry checks.

Officer Chen shook his head when he heard this: "It's not very peaceful here recently, and it has been since the beginning of the year. ”

These words made Lao Liu stunned for a moment, thought of something and asked, "Is that the thing?" Still messing around? ”

Officer Chen looked around, groaned and nodded: "Well, it's not over yet!" Much better though. ”

Hearing this, Lao Liu groaned when he heard this, and bowed his head slightly.

Didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Director Chen walked around and said with a smile: "There are no steamed buns, but the radish soup is enough!" Not enough to fight yourself. ”

"Good!"

The others all laughed and echoed when they heard this.

Then Director Chen also left to the side.
