However, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the entering ceremony, the militiamen on duty politely stopped the two elders and said politely: "Fellows, don't be anxious. After the entering ceremony is completed, the brothers of the Northeast Division will have three days to visit relatives. Fake, if there are any of your relatives in this team, just go home and wait. Even if your son sees you, he can't leave the team. Our troops have discipline, so please be considerate!" As soon as the entry ceremony is over, their children can go home, and the two elders see their children return safely. They could finally put it down after talking about it for many years. Although they didn't understand how big an official the major was, they heard that their son would have a chance to come home later. Recalling that when their son left home, they reluctantly killed a chicken to send him to join the army. Now that his son is back safely, in order to let his son feel the warmth of the family, the two elders are very understanding and do not attack the cordon set up by the militiamen. Amidst the congratulations from these neighbors, I turned around and hurried home to prepare a meal, hoping that my son would be able to enjoy this familiar taste when he returned home. Even though Qicheng had just been liberated and there were very few things at home, the elderly parents still took out the best ingredients at home and carefully prepared this long-lost family dinner for their son. This old couple is just an example of the people in the city who have children joining the army. Those parents and relatives who saw their son were undoubtedly overjoyed with joy. And even the people who had not seen their relatives from beginning to end began to become a little worried, worried that their sons and brothers had been killed in the battle. Until Hu Hao, who finally entered the city, announced in the square of the city that the Northeast First Division would have a three-day holiday. All their officers and soldiers from all over the city would have three days of family leave. Other soldiers of the Northeast Army who are not from Qicheng are visiting relatives on a rotating basis. The officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army who had long been unable to restrain themselves and wanted to go home to visit their parents and relatives, after Hu Hao issued an order to bring them back and disband. Most of these officers and soldiers were from Qicheng, and they quickly asked for leave from the officers directly under them. As the flag bearer, Xu Hu, the commander of the first regiment and the first battalion, also reported to the first regiment commander for three days of family leave after handling the leave requests of officers and soldiers in the battalion. Because he is also an officer from Qicheng and has been away from home for nearly ten years. In recent years, there have been wars in the north and south. His desire to return home and kowtow to his parents as a filial piety has suppressed him for countless days and nights. Now that he has finally waited for this day, how could he not be anxious! Fortunately, they have grown into young and cutting-edge officers of the militia corps, and understand that the militiamen are more concerned about the urgency of the soldiers. Therefore, the officers must complete their own military duties before they can go home to visit relatives after the soldiers. Therefore, Xu Hu also completed the application for visiting relatives of all Qicheng soldiers in the first battalion. Only then did he ask for leave from the group leader and go home. When the first regiment commander applied for family leave for the main battalion commander who was single-handedly promoted, he said happily: "Xiaohu, say hello to your parents when I see them. Because of the rush to retreat, I didn't even give you a chance to say goodbye. I hope your parents won¡¯t blame me!¡± After the order was issued because the Northeast Army¡¯s retreat was too urgent. The independent brigade started all night. Therefore, many officers and soldiers in the brigade whose families lived in Qicheng were taken away from Qicheng without even a chance to leave a message. The commander of the first regiment, who was still the company commander of the independent brigade at the time, also knew that Xu Hu, who had just joined the army for less than a year, knew that he was an only son. Because the family was too poor, his parents sent Xu Hu, who had just grown up, to feed the army. The head of the regiment who accepted Xu Hu at that time felt reluctant to let go in the eyes of Xu Hu's parents. Still fresh in my memory. Fortunately, after many years of fighting in the north and south, Xu Hu gradually grew from a recruit to a young school-level officer in the Northeast Division. Having become a middle-aged regiment commander, he still cannot help but sigh that these years are really a butcher's knife. Xu Hu, who used to like crying when he joined the army, is now the main battalion commander of the elite battalion of the entire regiment. This can be regarded as the only comfort that a group leader can give his parents. But the leader of the regiment knew that Xu Hu was undoubtedly lucky. And those soldiers who died in the southern and northern wars. How would he explain it to their relatives? For the promotion and concern of this old officer, Xu Hu was very grateful and said that he would definitely convey his apology to his parents. After chatting with the group leader for a few words, he quickly picked up the things he had purchased during the break and hurriedly He walked out of the temporary military camp and ran towards the familiar streets in the city. Because he was wearing a major's military uniform, the people who saw him along the road couldn't help but take a few more glances. Just as Xu Hu was rushing home in a hurry, an old man running a stall on the side of the road suddenly said, "Are you the Huzi of the Xu family?" Hearing the old man calling out his name, Xu Hu also stopped and moved forward curiously. He walked forward and looked at the middle-aged man who asked him. He quickly saluted the middle-aged man and said, "Are you Uncle Hu? I am Huzi, and the army just had a holiday, so I came back to see my parents." Seeing that the other party recognized him, the middle-aged man seemed to know that Xu Hu was anxious go home??Smiled and said: "Okay, the original skin monkey has grown up now and has become an officer. Okay, he has a future! It's not in vain that your parents have been worried about you for so many years. Go back quickly!" After listening to the middle-aged man's instructions, he quickly said: "Well, I'll go back right away. I won't disturb your business, uncle." After saying that, he hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed to his home in the alley ahead. When he turned into the alley at the corner, the vendors surrounding the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Old Hu, is this the boy who was sent to the army by the Xu family for several years without news? I saw that what he was wearing on his shoulder just now was a major's. With a military rank, this is a high-ranking official at the level of battalion commander! It seems that the old Xu family is going to be prosperous. " Old Hu said with some pride to these traders' inquiries: "That was back when this kid was so stupid. , I know that I will definitely have a future when I grow up. " Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people shopping on the street, Lao Hu lazily greeted the passers-by to buy things. He took the vendors who usually like to chat when they have nothing to do and started to talk. About the magic of Xu Hu as a child. It seemed that Xu Hu had become a legendary figure in his mouth. And Xu Hu, who arrived at the door of his house carrying several large bags of things, suddenly didn't dare to go in when he looked at the two doors that he recalled countless times in his dreams. Because he had been waiting for this day for too long. He didn't know if his parents were still okay, and he didn't know if his parents would blame him for leaving without news for so many years. Just as he was standing at the door in a daze, a young man came out of the neighbor's house and saw Xu Hu standing at the door of Xu's house wearing a military uniform. He was stunned and said in a low voice: "Are you Brother Hu Zi?" Uh! When he heard someone calling him brother, Xu Hu quickly glanced at the other person. Judging from the young man's face and the doorway he was standing at, he said with some uncertainty: "Are you a slug?" The young man looked a little blushing at this nickname. : "Brother Huzi, I'm already sixteen years old, can you please stop calling me this nickname! My name is Bi Chong, not a slug." After retorting to Xu Hu and receiving an apology from Xu Hu, the two stood together. The door seemed to have attracted the attention of Xu's parents, and soon Xu Hu heard someone walking towards the door. When he saw that it was his longing father who opened the door, Xu Hu quickly put his things aside, knelt down in front of the door with a bang and said, "Dad, my son is back!" The son was shocked by the sudden kneeling. He hurriedly stepped forward to help his son, who had grown stronger and more mature than before, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Come in quickly! Let's go." I saw you at the city gate just now. We are happy that you can come back safely. We know that you will definitely come home. Your mother has prepared a meal and is waiting for you!" Hearing that his mother had prepared a meal and waited for him, Xu Hu also followed. Bi Chong said hello and followed his father into the old house full of childhood memories. I saw that the layout of this house has not changed much, but it is even more dated. It is conceivable that his parents have not been very happy in these years. Fortunately, he was able to join the militia and had the opportunity to return to his hometown. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to step into this home again in this life! After a quick glance at the old objects in the yard, Xu Hu soon saw his mother wearing a coarse apron standing at the door of the kitchen with tears on her face. The mother he had missed for several years appeared in front of him. Xu Hu, who had not known what tears felt like for many years, She couldn't help but shed tears and knelt down in front of her mother and said: "Mom, my son is coming back late, which makes you two elders worried." The mother did not stop her son from kneeling down, and waited until her son respectfully finished eating three After ringing her head, she couldn't help but go over and pick up this familiar yet somewhat strange son. The mother and son soon hugged each other and cried together. It wasn't until the father standing next to them made the mother and son cry heartily that he suggested that his son must be hungry when he came back, and quickly moved away for this meal. I have been waiting for my mother's attention for several years. When I helped my parents into the kitchen, I saw the familiar small bench and dining table, and the familiar pork stewed vermicelli. Xu Hu, who had long wanted to experience the taste of his mother, couldn't help but want to eat. When Xu Hu saw that apart from this plate of meat and vegetables, there was only a plate of scrambled eggs and a few vegetables on the table, Xu Hu knew that life at home had probably not improved much over the years. However, this time he is back, and with his support in this family, I believe that giving his parents a happy old age will not be a problem. Knowing that his father loved to drink a few sips of wine, Xu Hu took out the two bottles of good wine he had brought to share with his father before serving the meal. But when his father heard that such a bottle of good wine cost two or three dollars, he couldn't help complaining: "Huzi, with this money, I can buy dozens of kilograms of loose wine. Why don't you ask and buy it?" Is this a wine place that can be refunded?¡± Knowing that his father was worried about money, Xu Hu smiled and said, ¡°Dad, it¡¯s okay! You can drink it with confidence from now on, and your son¡¯s monthly salary will be enough.¡± There are more than one hundred yuan, plus troops from other armies,There is also a small income of two hundred per month. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about drinking this wine, it will be no problem even if you build a new house for your family in the future. My money has not been used much in recent years, it is all stored in the People's Bank of China. In a few days, when the People's Bank of China opens in Qicheng, you will know that your son is really not short of these few dollars now. ¡± Hearing that his son¡¯s current income was so high, his parents were naturally happy, so Xu¡¯s father did not refuse to drink such a good wine. The family began to gather around the table and enjoy the long-lost reunion dinner. And in this situation, Qi Qi Countless families appeared in the city, and the joyful atmosphere in the entire city was even more lively than when it was liberated some time ago. (To be continued.)
