At two o'clock in the afternoon, a city station.

Lin Hui walked out quickly from the exit.

The summer sun shone on his face, stinging his eyes slightly.

He looked around, and the area around the station was bare, with barely any trees in sight.

Layers of heat rippled from the ground, as if everything in front of us was tumbling in flames, becoming crooked and blurry.

Lin Hui found a shady place, took out the address and finally confirmed it.

Find the nearest bus stop right away.

Although it is a typical northwest city, it is vast and sparsely populated.

Lin Hui took five bus transfers before coming to his neighborhood.

It is a city that combines industry and mining, and it is precisely because of this that the county seat is so large.

From time to time, there are medium-sized trucks full of various goods on the streets.

The wide asphalt road was crushed with potholes, like the surface of the moon.

The bus kept bumping back and forth on the road.

Lin Hui grabbed the armrest of the seat, feeling like returning to the army and driving in the mountains and forests in an off-road vehicle.

As far as the eye can see, there are no tall buildings in the whole city, and the occasional twelve- or thirteen-story high-rise building is already standing out from the crowd.

When it comes to the urban-rural junction where Wang Yong's house is located, the buildings here are almost extinct.

There are low bungalows everywhere.

Lin Hui jumped out of the car, and the heat wave hit his face.

Even when you are wearing shoes, you can feel the hot heat on your feet.

The black smoke that blew out after the car drove away rolled up a gust of hot air, which instantly tightened his exposed skin.

But even on such a hot day, the streets are still full of people.

One by one, shirtless, bent over, dragging a whole cart of coal.

He is also shirtless, with a tricycle on his left and right, transporting some industrial parts.

came and went in front of Lin Hui, and walked frequently.

Almost all of them were tanned by the intense sun, and the smell of sweat was even more impressive.

Every time the master of the three wheels moves forward, he has to pick up the oversized kettle on the faucet and take a big sip.

Otherwise, in such a hot weather, even men like them, who are accustomed to heavy labor, will not be able to bear it.

Lin Hui let out a long sigh.

There is still a gap between the rich and the poor in different regions of the country.

He had just come from the big city, and all he saw was splendidly dressed, busy traffic, and high-rise buildings.

In weather like this, people in big cities basically hide in air-conditioned rooms, and try not to come out if they can.

Outside, they are either tourists or small vendors who are running for a living.

But no matter what, it's much easier than these people in front of you.

Lin Hui clenched his fists slightly, and suddenly understood some of the meaning of being a soldier.

They are not only guarding the lights of thousands of homes, but also guarding the prosperity of the motherland.

It also guards every diligent and hard-working person.

Let them be able to run all the way forward without any worries.

They have suffered enough, they have worked hard enough, and they must not let their safety be threatened.

This is also the mission and duty of military personnel.

The country needs to develop, and the people still have a long way to go.

As long as there are ordinary people who fail to truly live and work in peace and contentment, the day when the country is rich and the people are strong, the duties of their soldiers will not be weakened for a day.

Lin Hui took a deep breath: "Living in this environment, it's no wonder that when I met Wang Yong, that kid was like a competitive rooster." ”

He has the fierce and simple folk customs of the locals, and also has the spirit of the Northwest people who do not admit defeat and work hard.

This created his super self-esteem and hard-working spirit.

Wang Yong's ability to get to this point is inseparable from the environment in which he grew up.

Lin Hui sighed, followed the address, and continued to walk in the direction of Wang Yong's house.

Walking through a few small alleys, he was amazed by the surrounding houses.

The architecture here seems to have been put on pause.

The walls are uneven red bricks, not even painted.

Everywhere you can see propaganda slogans full of the characteristics of the times, don't defecate in the open, don't throw garbage, and even have family planning ......

This made Lin Hui feel like he had traveled back to the seventies and eighties again, as if everything was stuck in the memory of twenty or thirty years, and nothing had changed.

The alley ahead suddenly opened up, and a wide street appeared.

Lin Hui looked ahead, then looked at the address in his hand, and said to himself: "It seems that Wang Yong's house should be in an alley across the street." ”

He quickened his pace with a smile and walked out quickly.

As soon as he stepped out of the alley, there was a loud bang, which startled Lin Hui.

I saw more than a dozen people standing at the mouth of the alley opposite, some playing suona, playing erhu, beating gongs and drums, and gathered together lively.

The alley is even more lively, and the villagers are crowded.

Lin Hui stood outside, confused.

This afternoon, the gongs and drums are beating, whose family is getting married, or what?

He shook his head and continued to follow the address.

But after looking for a while, I didn't find it, and only after asking did I know that Wang Yong's house was in this blocked alley.

Lin Hui stretched out his head to look inside and found that it was full of people.

The innermost is lively, and there are many people talking loudly.

At this time, a middle-aged man who struck the gong suddenly knew his bones, and when he saw the military uniform on Lin Hui's body, he immediately smiled: "Comrade, you must be Wang Yong's subordinate, right?" ”

Lin Hui was stunned at that time: "I, is it his subordinate?" ”

Everyone else also reacted at this time, and turned their heads to look at Lin Hui.

"Yo, another soldier!"

"No need to ask, it must be the soldiers under that kid of the Wang family."

"That's for sure, Wang Yong is now a senior official in the army, and he didn't bring any of his subordinates when he returned to his hometown this time, so it must be someone under his command who came to pick him up."

Everyone was full of envy and discussed.

Lin Hui stood in place, his head full of black lines.

He looked inside, and the corners of his eyes jumped wildly: "Being a senior officer in the army? What the hell is this kid blowing to make such a big move? ”
