Chapter 2 The Journey

In the early morning, in northeast China, a military base near the border.

The early morning of the army is filled with loud vitality, and the clear slogans and neat footsteps gather into the unique sound line here. The olive green that looks all over the world and the neat environment become the perfect scenery for the army.

After running with a 10,000-meter weight every morning, Mu Jingkai and Mu Jun and his son stood in front of the horizontal bar respectively, facing the cold cold in the morning, rhythmic pull-ups, maintaining steady breathing while having a conversation between the father and son.

"You didn't need to be like this. Your mother and I have long been indifferent to it, and we have admitted it there. But I don't want to lower my head and they won't speak first. That insignificant barrier should not affect your life. Why do you have to? College refuses Tsinghua University and Peking University to go to Shanghai and the circle far away from the capital. After graduation, I went to my hometown to work from the grassroots level. My son of Mu Jingkai can be a young man who dares to fight for his father with anyone, and even a playboy, and you don't need to work hard to make a world." This kind of heroism is the most common posture in Mu Jingkai's military career.

Mu Jun looked at his father and smiled. He knew that he did not have his dream of a year and his excellent performance as a flood, and his father was still the leader in the army. It might take more time, but there would be a day when he would wear the rank of major general. However, the extra years are too important for any officer.

Looking at the penetrating scars on my father's arms, Mu Jun secretly admired him. My father is the real hero of the country, the hero who has been on the battlefield, the squad leader of the hero squad, the grassroots man who has taken away the daughter of aristocratic families in the capital, the man who released his heroic spirit and could not stop me from succeeding even if there were many obstacles, and the man who spoke out the Zhuang word that he would one day regret those opposition voices.

Under his rough personality and appearance, he has a delicate heart. He dared to support the change in the late 1980s, as a regiment commander, probably had already fallen into the eyes of the leaders. In a few years, he built a strong army, and the military competition was the leader of the group. He slapped the table at the editor-in-chief of the military magazine and handed over his warning article. He almost took out his gun and was recorded as a big deed.

During the dispute, he led the entire army to the towns near the station to help the people build dams. After a series of disobediences, when many people were worried that he would cause big trouble, they completely obeyed orders when the real disaster came, and led the army to fight in multiple places. Four first-class merits (sacrifices), twelve second-class merits, dozen third-class merits, and collective first-class merits. When the No. 1 leader inspected the front line of flood control, he personally stated that he had the title of the Iron and Steel Army.

In the era of fighting for his father, Mu Jun's dreams were successfully reflected in reality. He promoted the young and strong sect and the commander of the army. Mu Jun already had the capital to be proud, domineering, arrogant and playboy, but he did not. When he was very young, he always saw his mother's frowning and gloomy face. At that time, he was well-behaved and always smoothed his frown for his mother, and then said cutely: "Mom, when he grows up, I will definitely make you happy every day."

At that time, Xi Jingwei would always smile and say, "When my Xiaojun grows up and becomes a high-ranking official, my mother will be happy."

A word that was just a mother's casual words to comfort her children, but who would have thought that Xiao Mujun was remembered in her heart. When he was young, he thought that being a high-ranking official would make his mother happy. In childhood, a man who asked him to call his uncle came by chance, which made him know that being a high-ranking official can make his mother cry, "Big uncle" who can make his mother cry, change his attitude. If he is older, the dreams shine into reality. The disasters and bad things in the dreams have allowed him to grow up in the army from childhood to adulthood. Listening to Mu Jun, who has only the country to defend his family and has grown up, gradually had the idea of ​​doing something, and it continues to grow. As he grows up, "Study for the rise of China" and other words enter the mind. Since the dream cannot be changed because of his ability, he will narrow the distance and let everything in the dream become within his reach.

Dreams have continued from childhood to the present, from a child's joke reason to gradually recognize dreams, Mu Jun has accumulated for several years and will prepare everything he can prepare during his study period, as a party member, high education, high ability of the student union president, his connections he must have accumulated, his master's degree in economics with general economic insights, and his title of brave young man who was named a brave man in the flood, and even the civil servant probation period that ended early. After that, his journey is about to begin...

Thinking of this, Mu Jun smiled at his father and said, "Dad, you should have said this to me earlier, so I don't have to work hard anymore. I carry a bird cage and sway my eight-character step all day long and follow a few of your subordinates' children, crossing the street..."

"Boy..." He laughed out loud. Mu Jingkai got off the horizontal bar and gently kicked his son's butt, but he was very happy. He was afraid that his son would be too orthodox. In the whirlpool of the officialdom, it was not enough to be smart and wise enough. He didn't know how to bend and slim and some things that were called sinister and smooth, so he could not eat it. Mu Jingkai was not worried about his son's loyalty to the country and his original intention of doing something practical for the people. He was afraid that his son would suffer losses. Now it seemed that he was too worried. As soon as he spoke, his son knew how to tell himself tactfully - he knew.

"Okay, bad boy, stop practicing. If you continue practicing, how can I bear my military situation? Come down." Mu Jingkai looked at his son's not strong but very strong body under his clothes and cursed with a smile.

Mu Jun jumped off the horizontal bar, scratched his head and said, "Dad, I'll leave tomorrow. If you are bullied, you have to stand up for me."

Mu Jingkai glared at him: "Who dares!" Then he smiled in his eyes: "You kid, just pretend, don't think I don't know what you did. It's good not to bully others, who dares to bully you?"

"hehe!!"

The backs of the father and son are gradually moving away. There are not many people familiar with them here. If it were in Mu Jingkai's former army, everyone knew that there would always be a figure accompanying him in the morning exercise of the division commander (corps commander). In the past, the big one led the small one, and gradually, the small one began to catch up with the big one, and gradually surpassed the big one's shoulders...

Today, the father and son walked side by side, with a height of 185 cm, which is the same as the same, except for the big ones, oh no, the old ones are stronger, and the small ones are thinner...

At the railway station of Ice City, the capital of Hei Province, Xi Jingwei and Mu Qing, the old and the young, kept talking in Mu Jun's ears, instructing a series of matters.

"Xiao Jun, I said that you were asked to take a plane, why did you want to take a train?"

"Mom, I am a state cadre now, and I am no longer as good as before." Mu Jun made a joke.

"What cadre, isn't it just a deputy section-level clerk?" Mu Qing curled her lips, looking disdainful. Indeed, the deputy section-level clerk was too young to be exposed to a general's daughter and could not be contacted on weekdays.

"What do you know about this little girl? You can study hard and you have to transfer to this place. I see how you come to see me after you failed the college entrance examination. If you let you stay in Shanghai and live in the school, you won't do it. Look at the weather in the Northeast now, how can you adapt to the new school." Mu Jun pinched his sister's red face and twisted her nose.

"I hate it, who is your sister? Youthful and invincible girl, the college entrance examination is a little bit." Mu Qing answered confidently.

The sound of warning the train was about to start. Mu Jun waved to his mother and sister, let the crew see the ticket, and boarded the train south with his luggage. Behind him, the sound of his mother calling him to go home for the New Year, with a faint smile on his lips, he turned around and said goodbye to his mother again, and his eyes drifted to the distance. At the far end of the crowd of people seeing off, his father stood proudly, driving from the mountain training ground in the mountains for dozens of kilometers, just to send his son away for a while, and he didn't want his son to know his father's worries.

Mu Qing sobbed, the pain of parting was too strong: "Mom, you, what did you think of me? Isn't it good to be an official and go to a ministry?"

Xi Jingwei looked at the train that was started, took a deep breath and said calmly: "Your brother, he has great ambitions!"

During his time at school, he was seconded by the economics research team, saving a one-year probation period after joining the work. This is also a small gift given by an old professor in that group after learning about Mu Jun’s ideal. He became a civil servant with a master’s degree in economics. The initial level was set at the deputy section level. Compared with others, he saved at least two to three years. All of this was the preparation that his son had planned long ago and the preparation for entering the career of the officialdom!

Going south, there was no scene of hunting for beauty in the soft sleeper box. Two businessmen, a middle-aged woman who obviously works in the government department, did not have too much speculation. The two businessmen either sat outside the private room and chatted and called, while the middle-aged woman kept fiddling with Nokia's new mobile phone. Mu Jun glanced at him and was playing the greedy snake game on his mobile phone.

The loneliness of a long journey, I looked at the scene of speeding past the window, occasionally looking through two pages of miscellaneous books, perhaps the biggest change of this journey was a call from an old classmate, and the beautiful voice was filled with the elements of acting coquettish: "Okay, you are a lump of wood, you ran to Duanyunsheng quietly. What do you mean? Don't want me to know? I'll forget it after playing? You kid are dead..." Then the sound of fighting came from the phone. The middle-aged woman sitting opposite Mu Jun also heard the woman's shouting from the microphone, looking at Mu Jun with a slightly contemptuous look, her body shrank back, from putting her hands on the table to leaning against the carriage.

"Hey, boss, it's not my fault. You know how tough this crazy girl is. I dare not stop calling this phone..." The other side of the microphone changed into a male voice, which was close and eccentric.

"Madman, you're done." Mu Jun said with a smile, then heard from a distance from the microphone: "Mu, you're dead."

Thinking of the crazy girl's toughness, Mu Jun couldn't help but feel chills, and hung up the phone and turned it off directly.

"Crazy Nizi, why bother?" Is this true for the breakup boyfriend and girlfriend? Mu Jun is not sure, shouldn't he not interact with each other? Shouldn't he meet an embarrassing greeting? Are you okay? Then he will pass by quickly?

At this moment, just downstairs of the Mu family, Xi Jingwei and Mu Qing looked at the roaring young girl and the man holding her in the distance, shook their heads and smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Mu, you're dead!" the girl shouted at the phone.

"Auntie, the boss has hung up the phone."

"Try again, fight again."

"The phone is turned off. Auntie, that's the boss's mother, your image..."

"Ah!" The girl was shocked and quickly looked up and down, rushing towards Xi Jingwei with the brightest smile: "Auntie, Xiaoxuan misses you so much..."
