In early autumn, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the cicadas on the branches make short and impatient singing, which is the last song it leaves to this world.

A young man wearing military uniform and carrying luggage came on the mountain road in the distance.

On both sides of the mountain road, the charming autumn scenery cannot attract young people to take a look, nor can they keep the young people's hurried footsteps.

Green military uniforms are the most fashionable and popular clothes of this era. Yellow-green military uniforms are a beautiful scenery wherever they go.

Military uniforms are the dreams of many young people. Children in the city are so excited that they can't sleep because they have a green military uniform.

This young man knew at a glance that it was not the kind of person who pursued fashion, but a real soldier.

The young soldier's face was full of determination, and under the sword eyebrows that were slashed across his temples, there were bright and deep eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which brought out a cynical feeling.

The journey is rushing, but the pace is not chaotic at all. If you measure it with a ruler, every step a young man takes is the same size.

The scorching sun was in the sky, without a trace of wind, the whole air was dull, and the clothes on his body were already wet with sweat, which still did not affect the firm pace of the young soldier.

It means that the words are in a hurry, which means that the young man has a anxious and somewhat excited expression on his face.

This young soldier is Zhang Lang. He had just come down from the Vietnam battlefield, traveled thousands of miles, and finally returned to his hometown that he had been away from for a long time.

Walking into the village quickly, five years after leaving home, everything in the village is still so familiar. The low earthen houses and tall old locust trees have appeared in Zhang Lang's dreams more than once.

When his feet stepped into the territory of Xilong Villa, a sense of intimacy arose leisurely, as if the land here was connected to his bloodline, trembling gently with his breathing and heartbeat.

The big locust trees in the village also swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if they were welcoming Zhang Lang's return.

"The wolf cub is back? He grows taller and stronger, and he is almost unable to recognize him!"

"Uncle Wolf is back?"

"Honest Wolf is back?"

As soon as he walked into the village, Zhang Lang was surrounded by a group of elderly people who were warming up.

"Yes! Brother is busy? How is the harvest in the fields this year?"

The urgency to go home was interrupted, so Zhang Lang had to press his impatientness to say hello to the old man surrounding him one by one.

These people are relatives of the same village and tribe. Zhang Lang's grandfather is the youngest among his peers, his grandfather is also the youngest among his brothers, and his father is also the youngest among his peers.

This caused Zhang Lang to be young, but he was of great seniority in the village. Most of the 60s and 70s who were surrounding him were of the same generation, and even a few were two generations shorter than him.

Zhang Lang took out a cigarette from his pocket and scattered it around, chatted with them for a while before saying goodbye to his home deep in his memory.

As the house approached, Zhang Lang's pace became a little hesitant and he was a little nervous.

Zhang Lang had a huge secret in his heart, which was also the reason why he couldn't wait to rush home as soon as he got off the battlefield.

Finally, I can make up for the eternal pain in my heart. It is also this winter in my memory. When I was promoted to battalion commander and rushed home with the battle medal, Xing Congcong congregated, I never saw my long-lost mother again.

My overworked mother had an ordinary cold, but because of her poverty, she was reluctant to pay for medical treatment and medicine, so she couldn't survive and just let go, talking about herself before she died.

Standing at the door of the house, the battalion commander and the regiment commander were still roaring in his ears, "You bastard, wolf cub! The army has trained you for so many years, and you have a word of restoration and transfer? Are you right to the party and the country?"

Zhang Lang knew that the battalion commander was for his own good, because in his previous life, he was promoted to battalion commander soon.

Perhaps at this time, the division commander had signed his appointment.

But in order not to leave any regrets, to stop crying to death every Qingming Festival.

Zhang Lang still gritted his teeth and said, "I want to be demobilized. Even if I don't assign a job, I want to be demobilized! I want to go home!"

"Don't you understand human words?" The commander cursed angrily.

"I'll let you demobilize it! I'll let you not work, I'll let you go home!" The battalion commander kicked and cursed.

"I just want to go home!" Zhang Lang raised his head and did not move, allowing the battalion commander to hold it on his body one by one.

You...you wolf cub, do you want to piss me to death?" The commander couldn't help but kick Zhang Lang.

…………

After several days of elimination, the team leader finally had no choice but to agree to Zhang Lang's request for demobilization and transfer.

This is also the regiment commander taking care of Zhang Lang, otherwise it would not be allowed to restore the reincarnation and transfer in the war except for disability.

He was discharged from the army and transferred to the army and was also issued a disability certificate, which was post-traumatic mental stress disorder.

God knows what that thing is, Zhang Lang swears that he is very healthy both physically and mentally.

There was no way, the group leader’s sister-in-law helped to give her a medical certificate. It is said that the group leader’s sister-in-law had dug up medical books for several days before she found such a medical term.

When he got the medical certificate, he was kicked several times by the team leader, so Zhang Lang had to fuck him next to him.

…………

"Brother!? It's really big brother!" A crisp voice interrupted Zhang Lang's contemplation.

"Brother! Big Brother! That's great, you're back! I miss you so much! Woo... Woo woo" A girl threw herself into Zhang Lang's arms and started crying.

This is the eldest girl, one year younger than herself. Zhang Lang patted the eldest girl on the back and comforted her: "Okay, stop crying, aren't you back now?"

"Brother! When you walk home, I'll talk about you every day!" The eldest girl wiped her tears, took Zhang Lang's hand and ran home.

"Dad! Mom!" Before entering the door, the eldest girl started shouting loudly.

"What a cry? How old is it? I'm still so rash!" Zhang Lang's father heard his daughter's scream in the room, and walked out with a cigarette puff and scolded her.

After scolding his daughter, he looked up and saw Zhang Lang. The bag in his hand fell to the ground. He shouted in disbelief, "Wolf cub?"

"Dad, I'm back!" Zhang Lang couldn't stop crying when he looked at his father who was gray-haired before he was less than forty.

"Okay! Good to come back! Good to come back!" Zhang's father stepped forward and patted Zhang Lang on the shoulder, and said with relief.

"Quick! Come into the house! Damn, come out quickly, the wolf cub is back!" Zhang's father was also a little excited and shouted loudly into the house.

"My wolf cub... is back?" An elderly woman rushed out of the house.

"Mom! I'm back! Your wolf cub is back!" Zhang Lang came up to him, knelt on the ground, hugged his mother's legs and cried.

"My wolf cub! You miss me so much! Why are you so cruel! You have been away for five years! You don't say you're going home to see your mother!" Zhang's mother also cried and hugged Zhang Lang and patted him hard.

Zhang Lang joined the army at the age of fifteen, and always wanted to make a comeback and return home in glory, but he left for five years.

The mother and the mother hugged her head and cried bitterly. After crying for a while, Zhang's father shouted: "Okay, mom, don't cry anymore. It's a good thing for my son to come back! Don't block the door, let people see the jokes and enter the house!"

"Yes! Happy! Come into the house with my mother..." Zhang's mother wiped her tears and pulled Zhang Lang and refused to let go.

"Mom, I'll help you!" Zhang Lang got up from the ground and helped his mother walk into the house.

My thirty-seven-year-old mother looked like a person in her fifties and was staggering when walking.

My father fell into trouble in his early years and could not do heavy work. The burden of the family of six was on his mother alone. I don’t know how my mother survived these years.

"Big sister! Go, go to the cellar and take out the wild boar meat you sent to your grandfather! I'll stew it for your brother!" Zhang's mother walked into the house and did not forget to instruct her daughter to cook for Zhang Lang.

"Hey!" The eldest girl agreed and ran to the cellar to get the meat.

"Come on! Mom brings you peanuts! I'm hungry, eat some peanuts first." As soon as I entered the house, Zhang's mother began to rummage through the cabinet to find something for Zhang Lang.

"Mom, I'm not hungry! Where is the little tree and the little river?" Zhang Lang helped Zhang's mother to the kang and asked.

Xiaoshu and Xiaohe are Zhang Lang’s two younger brothers. Rural people are not educated and do not know how to name children. They are all named when the child is born.

Zhang Lang's name is said to be the night when he was born, the wolf in the mountains called him all night before he was named Zhang Lang.

"They! On school holidays, I'll go uphill with your fourth uncle to harvest corn!" Zhang's father squatted on the ground and replied while smoking a dry tobacco.

Yes, it’s cold in the northeast, and this is the autumn harvest season!

Zhang Lang has been away for five years, and his two younger brothers are both sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are the strong laborers at home.

Zhang Lang has four sisters, Zhang Lang has the oldest, with one younger sister and two younger brothers below. The ages of the four sisters are not much different. This is also the characteristic of this era. Children are born in a series, one after another.

Although Zhang’s father and mother were illiterate, their respect for culture was engraved into their bones. Even if the family couldn’t make a fuss, they still insisted on sending a few children to school.

"Brother! Tell me, dad, I...I don't want to go to school anymore!" The eldest sister walked in with a piece of wild boar the size of a palm.

"Treasure! If you dare to talk nonsense, I will break your legs!" Before Zhang Lang could speak, Zhang's father jumped up and scolded loudly.

"Dad! I'm married to someone as old as me. I can work when I go home, earn work points, and support my two younger brothers to school! They are better at studying than me." The eldest sister argued with her head tilted.

"You...ah!" Zhang's father raised his hand but did not fall. Finally, he sighed and squatted on the ground and smoked dry cigarettes one by one.

"My miserable girl! It's all my parents who are incompetent..." Zhang's mother sat on the kang and began to wipe her tears.

I came back late in my previous life. In order to take care of my family, my eldest sister gave up her studies and married the Dong family in the same village early.

This is also one of Zhang Lang’s regrets. If he had come back a few months earlier, his mother would not have died, and his eldest sister would not have to drop out of school and get married.

"Big sister, I'm back. If I'm at home in the future, you can go to school with peace of mind! Don't worry about the family!" Zhang Lang rubbed the eldest sister's head with a distressed heart and comforted her.

"Wolf cub! What did you say? You won't go back to the army?" Zhang's mother opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Lang.

"Wolf cub, tell your father, are you causing trouble in the army?" Zhang's father didn't care about smoking, and stood up and looked at Zhang Lang nervously.

"No, dad!" Zhang Lang didn't expect his parents to react so much.

"I said no! You wrote last time that you were a company commander. If you didn't cause trouble, how could the army not want you?" Zhang's father interrupted Zhang Lang impatiently without waiting for Zhang Lang to finish his words.

"Dad! There is really no. I'll be back after the war!" Zhang Lang smiled bitterly and explained to his parents. He was afraid that they would not believe it, so he took out a letter of introduction from him and handed it to Zhang's father.

Zhang's father didn't know much about literacy, so he looked at the red chapter on the introduction letter and believed it a little.

"real?"

"Really Dad! Can I still lie to you? Look! This is my military medal! First-class merit!" In order to make Zhang's father believe, Zhang Lang took out two more military medals and handed them to Zhang's father.
