Chapter 211
The next day, it was just dawn.
The bus station was crowded with people.
Everywhere there were busy figures carrying large and small bags, rushing for life.
Lin Hui got on the bus with his ticket and found a seat by the window.
There were basically no people on this bus, and you could sit anywhere you wanted.
He looked at his watch and said to himself, "I hope it's not too late!"
Suddenly, there was a bang, and the seat shook.
He turned his head and was surprised to find that Xu Da was sitting next to him.
Lin Hui was stunned: When did this guy follow him?
Before he could speak, Xu Da said first: "Don't say anything. I am a soldier brought up by squad leader Lao Wei. If it weren't for him, I would still be a muddle-headed country boy and would have retired and returned to farming."
"He changed you and me. If you want to be punished, I will go with you."
Xu Da turned his head and looked at him, and Lin Hui smiled slightly.
Xu Da also smiled back at him.
The two shook hands tightly and nodded heavily.
This scene was very similar to the scene when the two laughed and forgot their grudges.
…
Military compound.
Lin Guangyao drank a mouthful of porridge and praised: "Wife, your porridge is really good, not too thin or too thick, just right!"
Jiang Lanying, who was sitting opposite, ate fried dough sticks, said nothing, and read the newspaper alone.
Lin Guangyao also took a fried dough stick and took a bite: "This fried dough stick is also good, crispy and crispy. Did you buy it from the Ma's breakfast shop on Jiefang Street?"
Jiang Lanying did not respond at all and did not respond at all.
Lin Guangyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "It's early in the morning, what's wrong with you?"
Pah!
Jiang Lanying slapped the newspaper on the table, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked at him coldly: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know?"
"Hehe, we agreed to let Xiaohui retire after two years of military service, and now you send him to military school. Don't you want your son to come back?"
Lin Guangyao sighed, it was indeed because of this matter.
He said helplessly: "I will definitely agree to what we agreed to, but now it's his own choice, what can I do?"
"Who are you kidding?"
Jiang Lanying said angrily: "What's his own choice? It's all excuses."
"Don't I know what Xiaohui is like? He doesn't want to be a soldier at all, and he doesn't want to join the army at all. You forced him to go!"
Lin Guangyao smiled bitterly and said: "Wife, my son has grown up and his ideas have changed. Sometimes it's normal for us parents to not keep up. He has become different now. Moreover, it's not me who forces him now, he wants to stay!"
Jiang Lanying rolled her eyes: "Don't fool me here, you are an old warlord!"
"The eldest son was sent to the army by you, and the second son was also sent to the army by you Brainwashed, joined the army, and now you force the third son to join the army!"
"All three sons have joined the army and inherited your legacy, so what about my company and my business?"
She became more and more angry, her face flushed: "Since I was a child, I have seen that Xiaohui has a talent for business. Whether it is gathering connections or raising funds, they are all his strengths! You just see him playing outside every day, and you don’t see how many deals he has signed for me?"
"Even his uncle praised Xiaohui as a rare business genius. I was ready to hand over the company to him, but you sent him to the army."
"I tell you, the agreed two years is two years. Now the time has come. If you don’t get him back, I will never let you go!"
Lin Guangyao looked helpless.
Usually, both of them are very busy and it is difficult to meet throughout the year.
Now I can finally sit down and have a quiet breakfast, but it turns out to be like a war.
"Tell me, how do we solve this?"
Jiang Lanying stared at him eagerly, and he had to give an explanation.
Lin Guangyao slowly put down his chopsticks and looked at her: "Go."
Jiang Lanying was stunned: "What are you going for?"
Lin Guangyao sighed: "Aren't you trying to bring him back? Just go find him directly."
Jiang Lanying looked unconvinced: "Can you agree to let me find him? Are you making fun of me?"
Lin Guangyao said seriously: "Comrade Jiang Lanying, I'm not kidding. If you can get him back, whether it's doing business or inheriting the company, I won't stop him, and I absolutely support him!"
Looking at his appearance, Jiang Lanying frowned: "You are not going to do something in private, do something in advance, right?"
Lin Guangyao shook his head, with a serious face: "I guarantee with my military honor that I will never do that!"
"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that, I hope you will do what you say..."
Before she finished speaking, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
Lin Guangyao greeted him and hurried to the living room to answer the phone.As soon as he picked it up, a cheerful voice came from the other side; "Old chief, it's me, Xiao Lu from 602 of the Southwest Theater! Today is the weekend, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
Lin Guangyao was stunned for a moment, then remembered: "Oh, it's you, no, no, I got up a long time ago."
There are too many people under him.
Usually, it is difficult for a young division commander to remember the name.
Not to mention that it is from another theater.
But after all, Lin Hui is in 602.
In order to understand Lin Hui's development, I contacted Lu Qingsong several times before, so I have an impression.
Lin Guangyao smiled and said: "What's the matter, Xiao Lu, did my son make a mistake again?"
"No, no." Lu Qingsong shook his head quickly: "I called just to ask you a favor."
"What's the matter, tell me?"
"Can you ask Lin Hui for leave and report to the military academy a few days later."
To call the military academy to ask for leave, Lu Qingsong's identity as a division commander is not qualified at all.
It's better for the commander to go.
After all, the principal of the military academy is also a general.
Lin Guangyao asked in surprise: "What leave? Isn't that kid going to report to Lu University tomorrow? Is there any urgent task?"
Lv Qingsong waved his hand: "It's not an urgent task."
"It was yesterday that he suddenly left with his men, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Guangyao slapped the coffee table and stood up.
Jiang Lanying, who was eating in the restaurant, was shocked.
"You are going to die!"
Lin Guangyao was full of anger: "This son of a bitch finally got the chance to go to military school, but he didn't cherish it and even became a deserter?"
Lv Qingsong quickly explained: "No, no, no, Lin Hui didn't desert, he went to see his old squad leader on the island, Wei Yongnian, a veteran of more than ten years, and he is about to retire..."
Before the other party finished speaking, Lin Guangyao understood.
He smiled and interrupted directly, saying, "I know. I'll ask for leave for him. Don't bother me about this!"
"Thank you, Chief. I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Guangyao returned to the restaurant and sat down again.
He was very relieved.
The son of a bitch is quite affectionate and righteous.
He just disobeyed orders and acted too recklessly.
Can't you report this kind of thing first?
He turned his head and saw Jiang Lanying staring at him fiercely, and was immediately startled: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jiang Lanying said angrily, "You still want me to go find him? He just left the army for a while, and you got so angry. Tell me, did you lie to me just now?"
Lin Guangyao smiled bitterly, "Let's put it one thing at a time. How could I lie to you?"
Jiang Lanying glared at him, "Anyway, I will go find him. If you dare to break your promise and regret it, we'll have to part ways with this life. I'll divorce you!"
Lin Guangyao looked helpless and sighed in his heart. .
At this age, he still talks about divorce all the time, really.
But thinking of what Lin Hui did, he was still very happy.
He believed that Lin Hui risked being punished and put in solitary confinement, and even ignored the discipline, and went to see the old squad leader.
It shows that his feelings for the army are far more than ordinary people.
He didn't dare to guarantee it a year ago, but now, Lin Guangyao can be sure.
Lin Hui is reluctant to leave the army, and he can't take off this military uniform.
Looking at Jiang Lanying's hurriedly leaving back, Lin Guangyao smiled: "Comrade Lanying, it seems that you may have made a wasted trip this time!"
...
On Crescent Island.
Everyone desperately stuffed various things into Wei Yongnian's bag.
Wei Yongnian looked at everyone's enthusiasm and smiled bitterly: "Enough, enough, there is no more space. People who leave the army take one bag with them, but look at how much you brought for me, three bags, how can I carry it all?"
Everyone laughed at him and joked.
"You are a veteran, a squad leader, what's this weight?"
"You are a tiger on land, a dragon on sea, three bags are easy!"
"Yes, yes, squad leader, this is all our good intentions! You have to carry it with your shoulders, bite it with your teeth, and you have to take all the things away, and don't leave anything behind!"
Wei Yongnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You gave me so many things, do you want me to go back and open a small shop?"
Everyone said with a smile: "It's not impossible!"
Zou Peng took out a camera from his clothes and said preciously: "Squad leader, I saved a year's salary to buy this camera, but it's a good thing, I want to give it to you. The film has been put in your bag, and you can take pictures of the scenery when you have nothing to do in the future."
"Who knows one day you will develop into a photographer."
Before Wei Yongnian spoke, Wu Meng took out a mobile phone: "Squad leader, this thing is called a mobile phone, it's a new thing. In the past, everyoneIt is popular to use pagers. This one has just come out. I bought it for you. "
"Insert the phone card, and you can make calls wherever you go. You can answer them at any time."
"After we go back, we can contact you no matter where you go."
Liu Shanyong held a pile of furry things and said with a smile: "Squad leader, these are the knee and shoulder pads I bought for you, in various styles. This one is wool, this one is fox fur, this, this one is different, this one is magnetic, it's amazing."
"Squad leader, I know you have been on the island for a long time, and you have rheumatoid arthritis. Your knees and shoulders hurt when it rains."
"Put on these, you will feel more comfortable, especially this magnetic one, you must try it, the experts say it works!"
As he spoke, his eyes became red: "When you leave the army in the future, you must live a healthier life. If you are healthy, we will feel at ease. What do you think, right?"
"Yes! "
Everyone answered with a smile.
Wei Yongnian didn't say anything, but he was indescribably moved.
Just then, a short man named Wen Jun also squeezed over.
He was holding a woven bag in his hand, and there was a rustling sound inside.
Wen Jun opened the woven bag and took out a handful of mountain products from it: "Squad leader, look, these red dates, longans, and pecans are all specialties from our hometown. I specially asked my family to send them to you to bring back and try them."
Liu Shan pointed at him and said, "No wonder you took such a big bag of things from the supply ship two days ago, and you didn't tell me what it was!"
Wen Jun smiled and said, "Before, you always said that I was stingy and not generous."
"Now that the squad leader has left, shouldn't I be generous for once?"
"Squad leader, these things can't be bought outside even if you have money, and the nutritional value is very high! Go back and bring them to my sister-in-law and children to try! "
As he spoke, he stuffed the things into the squad leader's bag desperately: "Squad leader, this is the taste of my hometown, don't forget me wherever you go."
Wei Yongnian hummed, his heart full of emotion.
He suddenly turned around, and tears instantly slid down his cheeks.
The people behind him were still stuffing things into his bag.
If the army's bags were not of good quality, they would have burst.
Wei Yongnian looked at them with his peripheral vision, feeling warm and distressed.
He knew that the veterans were not stuffing gifts, but friendship.
The more valuable the things, the more he would never forget them.
They have been together for so long that they have become a family.
Now that he is leaving, each of them is reluctant to let him go, so they gave him their most valuable things.
Woo!
A whistle suddenly sounded on the sea.
A transport ship came from the sea from far to near.
Wei Yongnian took a deep breath: "Okay, stop stuffing, it's time to go. "
Hearing the word "leave", everyone behind him seemed to be frozen, and none of them moved.
Wei Yongnian turned his head, and everyone was in tears.
He choked up for a moment: "Okay, stop crying, you are so old, you are all veterans, what are you crying for? I am retired, not dead, I will write to you when I return to my hometown in the future."
"By the way, the phone, didn't Wu Menggang give me a phone, I will call you later."
"When you are free, come to my hometown, I will treat you to the best wine!"
Everyone pursed their lips and nodded vigorously.
Soon, the boat docked.
The whistle sounded again, as if urging them to leave.
The deputy squad leader sighed, walked over to help pick up all the bags: "Let's go, Lao Wei!"
"Yeah."
Wei Yongnian nodded.
Just as he took a step, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Squad leader! "
Wei Yongnian paused, his feet felt like nails were stuck.
Several people rushed up from behind, hugged him tightly from behind, and cried and shouted: "Squad leader!"
Wei Yongnian raised his head, trying not to let his tears flow down.
He could feel that his back was soaked.
Those were the tears shed by the veterans.
Wei Yongnian suppressed his grief and smiled faintly: "In the future, I, I am not here anymore, don't relax yourself. People only live this life, don't live in a muddle, live well, live like a human being!"
After saying that, he pushed the people away and strode towards the shore.
"Salute! "
Zou Peng took the lead and shouted hoarsely.
Everyone raised their right hands and saluted the squad leader's back.
Wei Yongnian paused and his body trembled.
But in the end, he resisted the urge to look back and continued to move forward firmly.
When they arrived at the shore, the regiment commander Gao Shan was already waiting.
Wei Yongnian saluted him: "Regiment Commander!"
Gao Shan also saluted him.Li, without saying a word, patted him, put his arm around his shoulders and got on the boat.
The deputy squad leader also carried the luggage and got on the boat together.
There were waves on the sea.
The transport ship headed towards the sea again.
Wei Yongnian turned his head silently and watched the island getting farther and farther away until it disappeared from his sight.
Gao Shan stood by and handed him a Hongtashan: "Cry if you want to, we are all family, there is no need to be pretentious."
Wei Yongnian took the cigarette and Gao Shan lit it for him.
He took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, and sighed: "My youth, goodbye."
Gao Shan held the railing and smoked silently.
The two leaned together, the smoke shrouded their heads, and no one spoke again.
...
A few hours later, the ship finally docked.
On the shore, a military vehicle was waiting for them.
Gao Shan walked over and said to the driver: "You get off, I'll take him off."
The driver was stunned for a moment, and got off the car without much hesitation.
Gao Shan held the car door and waved to Wei Yongnian: "Let's go, we are old comrades, I'll take you on your last journey."
Wei Yongnian laughed and said: "Then I won't be polite."
The two laughed heartily and got on the car.
The deputy squad leader stuffed his things into the trunk and got on the car.
He also wanted to take the squad leader on his last journey.
After getting on the car, Wei Yongnian couldn't help but look back.
The empty road made him feel endlessly lost.
The person he was looking forward to never showed up.
The deputy squad leader saw his thoughts and sighed softly: "If Lin Hui was here, it would be perfect."
Wei Yongnian's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything.
Gao Shan glanced at the rearview mirror and sighed: "This guy is the last soldier you led, and he is also the best and most outstanding soldier. I heard that he has become the deputy battalion commander and will go to the military academy for further studies soon."
"The old squad leader is still awesome. He can always lead good soldiers!"
Wei Yongnian forced a smile, but said nothing.
Gao Shan sighed silently in his heart.
He knew that Wei Yongnian must be very sad at this moment.
The last soldier led out is always the most rare and precious for anyone who has led soldiers.
It's a pity that Lin Hui went to a new unit and had a new mission.
It's impossible to come here casually.
This may also be Wei Yongnian's biggest regret in his life.
"Let's go."
Gao Shan started the car and drove towards the main road ahead.
The car just turned around an intersection in front.
He suddenly stepped on the brakes.
The two people behind were inertia, and their bodies flew out, and their heads almost hit the front seats.
"What's going on?"
"Captain, if you don't know how to do it, how about I drive?"
Gao Shan turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened, his lips trembling: "Look, look ahead!"
Wei Yongnian seemed to have sensed something, and shook the window handle with both hands desperately, lowered the glass, and looked out quickly.
Two familiar figures were standing on the side of the road, with their backs straight, like electric poles!
Wei Yongnian's lips trembled, and tears fell in a flash.
He buried his head in his arms and cried silently.
On the side of the road, Lin Hui shouted hoarsely: "Salute!"
Swish!
He and Xu Da both straightened their chests, raised their right hands, and shouted with all their strength: "Hello, squad leader!"
Wei Yongnian's body trembled violently, and his emotions could no longer be controlled, and he burst into tears.
The deputy squad leader and Gao Shan also raised their heads, tears streaming down their faces.
"Let's go, let's go."
After a while, Wei Yongnian wiped his tears and patted Gao Shan's shoulder.
Gao Shan turned his head and said, "Aren't you going to say hello to them?"
Wei Yongnian shook his head and said contentedly, "That's enough. It's worth seeing them."
Gao Shan knew that he didn't want the two soldiers he brought out to see his embarrassed look after taking off his military uniform.
He wanted to leave in a decent manner and keep his best image in the hearts of Lin Hui and the others forever.
Gao Shan wiped his tears and re-shifted.
He gently released the clutch and let the car slide forward slowly.
Wei Yongnian raised his head slightly and watched Lin Hui and Xu Da slowly turn their bodies in the direction of the car.
Until they walked a long way, the two still stood there, maintaining the posture of saluting.
Wei Yongnian's tears burst out again, and he choked and said, "Good soldiers, they are all good soldiers brought out by me. It's worth it, it's worth it in this life!"
