Chapter 2 You're a Soldier
C city railway station, the bustling crowd crowded together, the tide of migrant workers returning to their hometowns just came down on this train, Bai Xiaobai walked out of the platform, he was the only one left, the lively crowd, the noisy city, the disorderly vehicles and the crowded crowd, the small traders at the entrance of the county railway station, the roasted sweet potato on the stove tube was steaming in the winter sun, a lady next to the exit of the station checked her hands, in front of her was an aluminum white pot pot with tea eggs, and the wrinkled face squeezed out a courteous smile, looking at every passenger who came out。
Bai Xiaobai glanced deeply, and the hometown train station in front of him was prosperous, and took a deep breath.
"Whew...... Ha ............ "I've gone home, I haven't been back for 8 years, and I haven't visited my home since I became a soldier." I don't know what's going on at home now, my mother said on the phone that my dad and he are both very good, my cousin has been admitted to 985 University, my cousin and they are basically married and have children, it seems that I am isolated from the world on my side, Bai Xiaobai thought about it and couldn't help but smirk out loud, after all, it has been restored, the next step is family reunion, the Civil Affairs Bureau reported, waiting for the arrangement of work, everything is on the right track, think about it, I feel that life is so comfortable.
"Master, please go to the drainage ditch along the river road. Sitting on the once familiar little bouncing Bai Xiaobai in the county, he directly reported the address to the uncle who rode the bouncing.
"Little brother, you are a soldier, right? Hehe, brother, I go to and from the train station, as soon as I get on the train, what person, what identity, as soon as I look at it, I will look at it without leaving ten, hehe, this is coming back to visit the family?" After the uncle who rode and jumped glanced at Bai Xiaobai, he seemed to show off his eyesight.
"No, I'm discharged" The habit developed in the army made Bai Xiaobai not so talkative, but just answered the questions that should be answered.
"Oh, that's not bad, our city is now engaged in creation, the side you are going to have been demolished, it is said that some homes have been demolished for millions, your family lives over there?
"Oh, yes, I haven't been back in a long time, I don't know. With a faint reply, Bai Xiaobai closed his eyes.
Uncle Jumping saw that Bai Xiaobai didn't like to ride stubble, so he hummed a little song with the radio hanging in the car and entertained himself. The bouncing car swayed for about 15 minutes, accompanied by a sharp braking sound of iron grinding iron, Uncle Bouncing returned to help Bai Xiaobai open the door. "Uncle of the People's Liberation Army~ Wake up, hey, it's inside you. ”
Bai Xiaobai opened his eyes, glanced at the surrounding buildings, and thought that he was in the India-Pakistan war zone, the ruins and broken tiles, the forks in the road where the sewage flowed out were frozen, and the ragged clothes and pants were thrown all over the ground.
"Hey, Uncle PLA, hey, I'll see you later~" Uncle Jumping raised four fingers and shook them in front of Bai Xiaobai's eyes, meaning that it was in place, four pieces.
Bai Xiaobai took out a five-yuan sheet from his pocket, handed it to Uncle Jumping, said that he didn't need to look for it, and hurriedly pulled up his luggage and walked down the broken alley with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Uncle Bouncing said thank you, turned around and rode his car in the direction of the train station.
"Dead old woman, can you move out? What do you want to do with this broken house and give you a building plus 300,000 yuan? If you don't leave, you still want to die here with this house? Hurry up and move, or I'll let the hook machine lift the roof and let you sleep watching the stars at night, I don't know what to do." ”
Bai Xiaobai turned around the mouth of the alley and saw four or five young people standing at the door of his house carrying triangular steel bars, water pipes, paint buckets, and broken bricks, with fluffy hair like a group of Chow Chow Chows, red and green, all colorful, scolding and shouting towards the door of their house. In a van parked next to him sat a big fat man with a flat head, wearing a black mink jacket, the big gold chain the thickness of a little finger around his neck drooped on his belly as if he was eight or nine months pregnant, and a cigarette thinner than chopsticks on his big yellow teeth, pointing his nostrils in the direction of his own house in front of him, as if he was afraid that the people in the house would not see his lush nose hair exposed outside his nose.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Bai Xiaobai's heart instantly became angry, but he was angry, put down the luggage in his hand, and while wiping his shirt and belt, he observed the surrounding terrain, and his good military quality made Bai Xiaobai maintain the calmness that a soldier should have at any time.
Hearing Bai Xiaobai's shout, the traffic lights in front of him turned their heads to look at Bai Xiaobai, and when they saw that he was alone, they all directly imitated the appearance of their eldest brother, their chins raised, and they held their nostrils towards Bai Xiaobai. The redhead raised the steel pipe in his hand and scolded Bai Xiaobai with a choked chirp
"Get out of the way for your father, don't fucking meddle here, and then ** Lao Tzu will smash your Wang Ba shell with a steel pipe and roll the calf. ”
"What if I don't get out?" Bai Xiaobai's mouth rose slightly, and he walked directly towards the red hair in the lead.
"Oops~ Oops, I'm grass~ I've got you a B face, right?" The red-haired man was about to catch up, when the flat-headed fat man in the car stepped out of the car and stretched out his hand to stop the red-haired steel pipe man.
"Brother, which piece is it? This is the place that Brother Guang is responsible for, don't feel uncomfortable if you have nothing to do. The flat-headed fat man saw that Bai Xiaobai dared to go up in the face of so many people, and knew that it was not a good stubble, so he hurriedly got out of the car and reported his name, wanting Bai Xiaobai to retreat.
"I'm from this area, this is my home, what are you yelling at my door?" Bai Xiaobai didn't stop, and continued to walk forward, seeing that there were still ten or so steps left in front of Pingtou.
"Who should I be, it turns out that you are the son of the old white head who was a soldier? Okay, you came back just right, this is the demolition notice, you take it, today we will go first, tomorrow we will come again, you can be optimistic, your family is left with these ten or so households on your side, sooner or later it will have to be demolished, don't blame my brother I didn't remind you, just in the situation of your family, hehe, it's good to give you some money, and then you have to give you a job, you are a stinky soldier, and dare to do it with us? Don't make yourself uncomfortable, let's go." The flat-headed man threw the demolition notice in his hand to Bai Xiaobai, who had already walked to him, and with a greeting, he led a group of minions into the van and drove out of the alley.
Bai Xiaobai clenched his fists, looked at the van in the distance, leaned down to pick up the demolition notice, turned around and took his luggage and walked into the home that had been away for 8 years.
