Xiao Chen didn't expect that the person who came to visit his home was Hong Xingguo, the instructor of the 7th Steel Company.

Speaking of which, Xiao Chen knows this instructor very well.

His temperament is introverted, but he is also affectionate in his bones. He was covered up by Gao Cheng's strong face, but he still worked hard and handled the daily work of the 7th Company in an orderly manner. Even if he was transferred away by the first before the seventh Company was adapted, he still pretended to be nothing in front of the soldiers to avoid making the soldiers feel panic in advance.

Feeling that Hong Xingguo was a little abnormally warm from the moment he entered the door, Xiao Chen was a little curious, but he was calm and waited for Hong Xingguo to ask questions.

On the contrary, Xiao Youming and Xia Yufang suddenly came to the house. For a moment, they served tea and water, but they piled up dried candies and fruits prepared in advance and sat nervously on both sides of Xiao Chen, blinking their eyes and staring at Hong Xingguo.

Since Xiao Chen's house stopped a car at the door of his house, neighbors who had excuses to visit had been coming in. However, in just a few minutes, the house was filled with people. If we put aside the visits of new recruits, some people would definitely think this is a typical example of supporting the two sides.

Amid the curious eyes of a group of people, Hong Xingguo sorted out his thoughts, opened the book, and asked his first question:

"Comrade Xiao Chen, why do you want to join the army?"

I don’t know how many times I have been asked this question. Xiao Chen’s answer is of course quite a bit concise. Hong Xingguo just kept recording it in his notebook and did not express any comments.

"Two parents, do you have any opinions on Comrade Xiao Chen's registration for the army?"

This is a question.

Because not only Hong Xingguo is concerned about this issue, the neighbors and neighbors also want to hear the pain in Xiao Youming and his wife. Since Xiao Chen was trying hard to join the army, no one asked more questions because of their emotions. Today, I happened to be there, so I can hear it clearly.

There is no malicious intention, it just wants to hear it as a topic of conversation after dinner. Those chats are not even considered rumors.

The Xiao family has always adhered to the principle of male protagonists and female protagonists and internally. In the face of Hong Xingguo's inquiry, Xiao Youming turned his mind:

"I have no objection. When the child is old, he needs to take some ideas by himself. He has read more books, so his ideas must be more serious than me. I heard him say it carefully and feel that although the troops are suffering, they do have greater development than the local government."

Hong Xingguo has visited seven homes so far, and has never been like Xiao Chen's family.

Hong Xingguo didn't know how to respond to Xiao Youming's appearance completely as he heard his son.

"So, Comrade Xia Yufang, what about your opinion?"

Xia Yufang has now fully accepted the fact that Xiao Chen is going to join the army. Although she is still a little reluctant, she is afraid that if she says the wrong thing and affects Xiao Chen's future, so she repeated Xiao Youming's words according to her own understanding.

The two men seemed to have a unified attitude, and Hong Xingguo naturally stopped repeating the records, and the neighbors who had sat in the whole room were also quite disappointed.

Hong Xingguo turned his attention to Xiao Chen again:

"Comrade Xiao Chen, what are your plans for your future in the army?"

This is indeed a problem. Xiao Chen did not think about it. After Hong Xingguo mentioned it, Xiao Chen still thought about it.

"Report to the chief, my understanding of the army is only superficial, so I have no exact plan. Perhaps when I become a soldier who is consistent in my opinion, I have an answer in my heart."

Hong Xingguo heard Lao Cheng from Xiao Chen's words.

After asking several serious questions, Hong Xingguo has confirmed that the one Chen Guanglin recommended to him is indeed a rare good soldier. Satisfied, he no longer asked too much, but he was eager to bring this soldier to the army and let him go to the Seventh Steel Company to become a famous vanguard.

After walking for more than ten families in a row, the home visit work in this town was officially over. Hong Xingguo dragged his tired body to meet Shi Jin, returned to the guesthouse, and carefully summarized the work of the day, and then fell asleep.

After the home visit, the list of soldiers was officially posted. Xiao Chen's training was not interrupted because of these. Until he woke up, facing the sudden sound of gongs and drums in the village, Xiao Youming rushed into the room and urged him to put on the military uniforms received by the village committee a few days ago.

It is said to be a military uniform, but there are actually no signs or words related to the army.

It was just a military green jacket, short-sleeved shorts and the famous Bayi shorts. It didn't have three heads and six arms on it, but with the blessing of people's inherent impression of military uniforms, it was indeed much more energetic than usual.

Seeing Xiao Chen walk out of the room after finishing his dress, Xiao Youming and Xia Yufang, who was busy stuffing things into Xiao Chen's handbag, were stunned for a moment.

This was the first time Xiao Chen sent out his military uniform to them. When he looked at Xiao Chen, whose spirit had changed greatly, Xiao Youming's hand trembled, then turned around and picked up the big red flower on the coffee table, and wanted to bring it to Xiao Chen's chest. Xia Yufang finally couldn't help it at this time, and when the family of three was squatting on the ground and in pain.

Xia Yufang knew very well how big the red flower was. When the gongs and drums sounded, her son was about to leave as the village chief lit the two hundred firecrackers hanging by himself.

I want to see you again in the future, maybe two years later.

Two years, it’s not too long, and it’s not too short.

Compared with other families, Xia Yufang adapted to the life of her children not under her nose too early. But the maximum period she could adapt to was half a year. Now, two years, or even longer.

For a housewife who is all about her own children, there is nothing more painful than losing her heart. Although this loss is only from the perspective of distance, not life and death.

Xiao Youming's hand that wanted to wear red flowers was hanging in the air, but he still didn't raise it happily. The big red flowers woven in the red yarn were pinched in his hand, and with a sigh, it dropped the height below dozens of centimeters, and finally returned to its original position on the coffee table.

"Wife, stop crying. It's a good thing for the kids to join the army. Look at the elders in our village, even those who want to join the army don't want it. Just Xiao Chen, we have a physical examination and review along the way, and we haven't even spent our time..."

"I know that the kids don't let us worry about them since they were young, but I just can't bear to leave them. The kids are all living in their eyes. Ours are obviously so much better than others, so we have to join the army. I haven't seen anyone after leaving for a few years. I don't know if they grow taller and gain weight. How can I not cry?"
