early morning.

    The cold temperature can''t quench the enthusiasm of everyone.

    A loud and resounding song rang out in the central China military region.

    The songs are neat and familiar. They are military songs learned by recruits, three disciplines and eight points of attention.

    In this loud and orderly singing, a complex emotion is faintly revealed, which is the natural expression of the homesickness of the wanderer who is about to return home.

    "You are now a full-time soldier. You should always remember your identity and mission, restrain yourself with the strictest requirements, and don''t let yourself go just because you leave the army. Remember! You are soldiers and people''s children. Your bounden duty is to protect the people''s security and protect the national security. I hope you will strictly abide by all the rules of the army when you return home to visit relatives this time The three regulations, the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention should be made to maintain the image of the army and the people''s children with their own good behavior. Well, that''s all I want to say. Let''s line up and get on the bus in an orderly manner. "

    After singing the military song, the leaders of the military region delivered a speech, and then let a group of recruits successively board the army transport vehicle and embark on the journey of returning home.

    Looking at the rapidly retrogressive scenery on both sides of the road, every recruit''s heart beat faster and missed, and flew to the starting point of homesickness with the Mercedes Benz car.

    …………

    Happy community, central Hubei.

    Meng Yufen walked into the community with a large basket of vegetables.

    This situation may have been very common in the past, but it is very rare at present, because it is now under wartime control, and any materials can only be purchased with commodity bonds. Therefore, few people buy so much at one time. Meng Yufen''s move naturally attracted the attention of many people in the community.

    A slightly fat middle-aged woman said, "sister Fen, why do you buy so many dishes today?"

    "My son is coming back today. I specially asked for a half day''s leave to cook him a table of his favorite dishes." Meng Yufen''s face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.

    The middle-aged woman suddenly asked, "I heard that your son has become a soldier, hasn''t he?"

    "Yes!"

    "That''s a pity. Your son is handsome and has the talent to learn music. Why can''t he want to be a soldier?"

    "Hey, we also advised him. Even if he was stubborn enough to go, we couldn''t stop him. Now it''s not the past. These children have a lot of personality."

    "Sister Fen, it''s hard to say. You should also know that it''s too dangerous to be a soldier now. It''s basically to die. You should stop him anyway, even if you break his leg."

    "I''m not as cruel as you. In fact, it''s good to be a soldier. It''s very glorious to protect our country. Moreover, his father also used a trick. My son only went to the army to experience military training for three months at most. He shouldn''t go again this time."

    "Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy. No wonder sister Fen, you are so happy today!"

    “……”

    While two middle-aged women were chatting, a gentle voice suddenly came from the rear: "let me help you take it!"

    As soon as she heard the sound, Meng Yufen felt a light touch on her hand, and immediately the vegetable basket was taken by a young man passing by.

    Because the young man was fast and wearing a mask, Meng Yufen could only see his side face and back. Meng Yufen found that the man was tall, strong, with a board inch head. When walking, his waist was straight, his pace was rhythmic, and his whole body exuded a Yang like spirit, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

    "Sister Fen, who is this young man?" the middle-aged woman asked curiously.

    Meng Yufen frowned slightly and shook her head: "I don''t know. Although I feel a little familiar, I shouldn''t know this person."

    The middle-aged woman looked at the young man in front from the rear and praised: "Well, the young man is very polite. He knows how to help strange elders with things. Now such a person is very rare. Moreover, he looks very strong and walks very upright. He should be a very reliable man. I just don''t know if he has a partner. If not, I have a distant niece who can introduce him."

    "How come you can''t leave the object of introduction without three sentences? You''re really becoming a professional matchmaker!"

    Meng Yufen could not help but make complaints about it. But she did admit that the young man was really excellent only on the surface. If her skinny son could have such a constitution, it would be quite perfect.

    While Meng Yufen was meditating, she found that the young man in front actually walked into the building where she lived, but she didn''t tell the young man his address. How could the other party know his address?

    And she suddenly realized that she was too lax?

    The other party is just a strange young man. You can''t trust him completely because he is polite. What if he is a liar specializing in this?

    Thinking about it, Meng Yufen quickened her pace to catch up and shouted, "young man, thank you very much, but I''ve got home. I''d better come by myself!"

    As soon as these words came out, the young man in front suddenly accelerated and ran up the corridor. It looked as if something had succeeded and was anxious to run.

    Meng Yufen realized that it was bad and hurried to catch up.

    At the same time, she felt crazy in her heart. The world is going down day by day. Why do people rob vegetables in these days? What''s the matter with young people now?

    When Meng Yufen ran to the floor where she lived out of breath, she found that the young man was standing in front of her house with a vegetable basket, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

    Meng Yufen said angrily, "you robber, why do you rob vegetables? How did your teachers and parents teach you?"

    "Mom, don''t be angry. I''m just kidding you. If you want to be angry, it should be me!" the young man turned around, took off his mask and saw that it was Lu Xiping who came back from the army.

    Meng Yufen stared at the young man in front of her. She really felt that the other party''s face was very similar to her son and her voice was a little similar. This was also the reason why she felt familiar from the beginning. However, considering that her son was not so tall and strong, she directly excluded this possibility and thought it was just two young people who were somewhat similar.

    "You don''t have to have a relationship with me. I don''t have a son like you. It''s only when things are exposed. Why have you gone?" Meng Yufen scolded wisely and stared at Lu Xiping with eyes that saw through everything.

    Lu Xiping smiled helplessly and said to Liu Huijun who had just come up: "Liu Huijun, you see, I''m right. My mother really doesn''t recognize my son. I won our bet."

    "Well, I didn''t think so at first, but now think about it. This is what my mother should do."

    Liu Huijun smiled and explained, "aunt, this is really your son Lu Xiping. He has changed a lot in the army. He has grown taller and stronger."

    "But... Is it too high?"

    Meng Yufen looked at Lu Xiping''s height and muttered, "I''m a teacher. I''ve never seen a student grow so fast in three months, and this can''t happen in the existing scientific knowledge framework!"

    Lu Xiping said solemnly, "Mom, scientific knowledge is only a summary of the operation of the material world, not an invariable law that restricts the development of the material world. When there is an error between science and reality, it must be science."

    Meng Yufen said stubbornly, "don''t talk to me about this. I''m a teacher. It''s not your turn to teach me how to do things."

    At this point, Meng Yufen wanted to stop talking. She looked at Liu Huijun and the middle-aged woman behind her. After all, she pressed down the words in her heart and changed her mouth: "well, let''s talk in the first room!"

    After Lu Xiping, Liu Huijun and Meng Yufen entered the house, there was only the middle-aged woman left.

    She lives opposite Lu Xiping''s house and has seen Lu Xiping several times, but she can''t imagine that Lu Xiping has gone to the army for three months, and has come back with such a big change, and has brought back a beautiful girlfriend. Is it true that the army still assigns wives in order to attract young people to become soldiers?
