However, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the entry ceremony, the militia on duty still politely stopped the two elders and said politely: "My fellow villagers, don't worry. After the entry ceremony is completed, the brothers of the Northeast Division will have three days of family leave. If there are your relatives in this team, then go home and wait.

Now even if your son sees you, he will not be able to leave the team. Our army is disciplined, so please understand, fellow villagers!"

As soon as they heard that the entry ceremony was over, their children could go home, and the two elders came back safely when they saw the children. They could finally let go of their hearts that had been raised over the years. Although they didn't understand how old the major was, they would have the chance to go home after hearing that their son would have the chance to go home. When their son left home, they reluctantly killed a chicken to send his son to join the army.

Now that my son has come back safely, in order to let his son feel the warmth of the family, the two elders still understand that they did not attack the cordons set by the militia. They turned around and rushed home to prepare the meal amid the congratulations of these neighbors, hoping that their son could eat this familiar taste when he returned home.

Even though Qicheng had just been liberated and there were very few things in the family, the elderly parents still took out the best ingredients in the family and carefully prepared this long-lost family dinner for their son.

This old couple is just an example of the people in the city with children joining the army. Those parents and relatives who saw their son were undoubtedly happy and ecstatic. Even the people who had not seen their relatives from beginning to end began to feel a little worried, worried that their son and brother had already died.

Until Hu Hao, who finally entered the city, announced in the square in the city that the Northeast First Division had a three-day holiday, and the officers and soldiers of their Qicheng had three-day holidays. Other Northeast Army soldiers who were not Qicheng were in rotation to visit relatives.

The Northeast Army soldiers who had long been unable to control their desire to go home to visit their parents and relatives, after Hu Hao issued an order to bring back the disbandment of each unit, most of them were officers and soldiers from Qicheng, and soon asked for leave from their direct officers.

As the flag bearer, Xu Hu, the commander of the first battalion, after handling the leave of the officers and soldiers in the camp, also reported to the first battalion commander for three days of family leave. Because he was also an officer from Qicheng, he had been away from home for nearly ten years. Over the years, he fought in the south and north. His idea of ​​looking forward to returning home to kowtow to his parents to be filial to his parents has been suppressed for countless days and nights. Now that he has finally waited for this day, how could he not be in a hurry!

Fortunately, they have grown into young and new officers of the Militia Corps. They understand that the militia considers the soldiers' urgency more. Therefore, officers must go home to visit relatives after completing the military affairs of the headquarters. Therefore, Xu Hu asked the regiment commander for leave to go home after completing the application for all Qicheng soldiers to visit relatives in the first battalion.

The first regiment commander was very happy to apply for a family leave from the main battalion commander who was promoted, and said happily: "Xiaohu, I'll say hello to me when I saw your parents. Because of the urgent retreat, I didn't even give you a chance to say goodbye. I hope your parents don't blame me!"

Because the Northeast Army's order to retreat was too urgent, the Independent Brigade opened overnight after the order was issued. Therefore, many officers and soldiers in Qicheng in the brigade had no chance to leave a message and were taken away from Qicheng. At that time, they were the first commander of the Independent Brigade's company commander. For Xu Hu, who had just joined the army for less than a year, he knew very well that he was the only son of the family.

Because his family was too poor, his parents sent Xu Hu, who had just grown up, to the army for food. The leader of the regiment who accepted Xu Hu at that time still remembered the reluctance in Xu Hu's parents. Fortunately, he had been fighting in the south and north for many years, and Xu Hu gradually grew from a new recruit to a young school-level officer of the Northeast First Division.

He has become a middle-aged man, but he still cannot help but sigh that these years have really been a slaughter. Xu Hu, who once liked to cry when he joined the army, has become the main battalion commander of the elite battalion of the entire regiment. This is also considered a regiment commander, the only comfort he can give his parents. But the regiment commander knew that Xu Hu was undoubtedly lucky. And how could he explain to their relatives to those soldiers who died in the battles of the south and the north?

For the promotion and concern of the old commander, Xu Hu expressed gratitude that he would convey his apology to his parents. After chatting with the commander for a few words, he quickly took the things he had purchased during the rest, hurried out of the temporary military camp, and ran to the familiar street in the city.

Because he was wearing the major uniform, the people who saw him along the way couldn't help but take a few more glances. Just as Xu Hu was anxious to rush home, an old man who set up a stall on the side of the road suddenly said, "You are Hu Zi of the Xu family, right?"

When Xu Hu heard the old man shouting his name, he stopped walking forward with curiosity, looked at the middle-aged man who asked him. He quickly bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Are you Uncle Hu? I am Hu Zi. The army has just had a holiday, so I will come back to see my parents."

When the middle-aged man saw that the other party recognized him, he seemed to know that Xu Hu was eager to go home. He smiled and said, "Okay, the original monkey has grown up so big now and has become an officer. Okay, it's a promising future! It's not worth your parents for so many years, and they're worried about you. Go back quickly!"

Xu Hu listened to the middle-aged man's teachings and quickly said, "Well, I'll go back now, so I won't disturb you from doing business."

After saying that, he quickly accelerated his pace and rushed to his home in the alley ahead. When he turned into the alley at the corner of the street, the vendor surrounded by the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Old Hu, is this the boy who had not been heard from the Xu family for several years? I saw that he had just worn the rank of major on his shoulders, and he was a high-ranking official at the battalion commander level! The old Xu family seems to be about to flourish."

Lao Hu said proudly when he asked these vendors: "That's right, when this guy was so naughty, I knew that he would definitely have a future when he grew up."

While there were not many people buying things on the street, Lao Hu was lazy to call pedestrians to buy things, and pulled these vendors who like to chat with them when they were fine, and began to tell the magic of Xu Hu when he was a child. It seemed that Xu Hu had become a legendary figure in his mouth.

Xu Hu, who came to the door of his house with a few large bags of things, looked at the two dreams that recalled countless doors, but suddenly he was afraid to walk in. Because he had been waiting for this day for too long, and he didn't know if his parents were still safe, and whether his parents would blame him for leaving for so many years.

Just as he was standing at the door in a daze, a young man walked out of the neighbor's house and saw Xu Hu standing at the door of the Xu family in 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 hurriedly glanced at the other party. From the boy's face and the door where he stood, he said with uncertainty: "Are you a slug?"

The boy blushed at the nickname: "Brother Huzi, he is sixteen years old, can you stop calling him this nickname? My name is Bi Chong, not a slug."

After refuting Xu Hu's words and received an apology from Xu Hu, the two of them stood at the door and seemed to have attracted the attention of Xu's parents. Soon Xu Hu heard someone walking towards the door. When he saw that the father who was thinking about him opened the door was the one who had been thinking about him day and night, Xu Hu hurriedly put the things aside, knelt down in front of the door with a loud voice and said, "Dad, my son is back!"

Father Xu seemed to be shocked by his son's sudden kneeling, and hurried forward to help his son, who was already strong and 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! We saw you at the gate of the city just now. We would be happy if you can come back safely. We know that you will definitely go home. Your mother is ready to cook food and waiting for you!"

Hearing that his mother had already prepared food and waited for him, Xu Hu also greeted Bi Chong and followed his father into an old house full of childhood memories. Seeing that the layout of the house had not changed much, but it was even more old. It is conceivable that his parents have not lived very happily over the years. Fortunately, he was lucky that he was able to join the militia and had the opportunity to return to his hometown. Otherwise, I was afraid that he would never be able to step into this house again in his life!

After a quick look at the old objects in the yard, Xu Hu soon saw his mother standing at the kitchen door wearing a coarse cloth apron and full of tears. The mother who had been worried about her for several years appeared in front of her. Xu Hu, who had been in trouble for many years, couldn't help but kneel down in front of her mother with tears and said, "Mom, my son is late, which makes your two elders worry."

The mother did not stop her son from kneeling down. After the son respectfully finished three remarks, she couldn't help but go over and pick up the familiar and somewhat strange son. The mother and son quickly hugged each other and cried together. It was not until the father standing next to him that the mother and son cried happily that they suggested that the son must have been hungry just after he came back, and soon changed his attention to this meal.

When I helped my parents into the kitchen and looked at the familiar small stool and the dining table, which had the familiar pork stewed noodles. Xu Hu, who had long wanted to relive his mother's taste, couldn't help but want to eat.

But when he saw that except for this plate of meat and vegetables, there were only one plate of scrambled eggs and a few vegetables on the table, Xu Hu knew that his family’s life was probably not much better in recent years. However, this time he came back, and with his support, I believe that giving parents a happy old age should not be a problem.

Knowing that his father likes to drink two sips of wine, Xu Hu brought out the two bottles of good wine he brought before serving the table to share with his father. However, when his father heard that such a good wine would cost two or three yuan, he couldn't help but complain: "Huzi, if I have this money, I can make dozens of kilograms of loose wine. Why don't you ask where to buy the wine, can this wine be refunded?"

Knowing that his father also felt sorry for the money, Xu Hu smiled and said, "Dad, it's okay! You can drink this money with confidence from now on. Your son's monthly post is more than 100 yuan, and with other troops, he also earns a small income of 200 yuan a month.

Not to mention drinking this wine, it will be fine to build a new house for your family in the future. My money has not been used much over the years, and it is all stored in the People's Bank of China. After a few days, the People's Bank of China will be opened to Qicheng, and you will know that my son is really not short of these dollars now."
