The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

“Is this my brother?”

It was clearly his brother who spoke on the stage, but at this moment Li Nan could not help but fall into self-doubt.

His brother stood on the stage and gave a speech to his new recruit sister.

It sounds weird no matter how I listen to it. He feels totally different from the person at home~!

The applause was louder than before.

At this moment, Li Nan really wanted to shout loudly, this is his brother, but he was quickly suppressed by his heart. Discipline, discipline and discipline.

There's nothing wrong with applauding, but if she really wants to shout out and show off, I guess the first person to deal with her will be her brother Li Feng.

Even though it felt weird, he was still quite proud that his brother went on stage to speak to the new recruits, made suggestions, and the leaders agreed. This was his brother.

As the deputy director of a steel rolling mill, this military side of Li Nan was the first time he saw it in his brother.

After his brother was discharged from the army, he was very scattered. As for how he was promoted from a retired soldier to a lieutenant colonel, Li Nan had no idea.

His brother took over his father's job and was promoted from driver to deputy factory manager. It was not bad. He could hear some of it from the neighbors.

As for whether or not to take his brother as a role model, Li Nan had no such idea at all at that time. Maybe it was because he was not old enough, or maybe it was because he had not experienced some unforgettable things.

As Li Feng finished speaking, the mobilization meeting soon came to an end. After the commander saluted again, he received the news to rest on the spot. On the ceremony stage, people began to leave one after another.

First the tea cups, then the tables, all began to be cleared away. Li Nan watched eagerly, rubbing his sore ankles, his head almost stretched to the back of the stage.

"Why doesn't my brother come to see me?"

Li Nan frowned, still unable to understand. He was clearly here, he had seen where he was, and the meeting was over, so why hadn't he come yet?

"Are you looking for someone?"

Ke Minmin, who was standing by, saw Li Nan's searching eyes and came over quietly to ask.

"No, I'll just see when to leave~!"

As her own little secret, Li Nan decided not to tell Minmin that Li Feng was her brother for the time being. Instead, she found an excuse to temporarily evade the question.

"Don't worry, after the mobilization meeting, the troop transport will start soon. Director Guo was called away just now. He must have gone to liaise with the train~!"

"Are you thirsty? If not, just stay here and don't run around. There's a faucet over there. I'll go get you some water."

Li Nan's voice was neither loud nor soft, and happened to be heard by Liu Feng in front of him. Liu Feng was not far away, and seeing Li Nan's anxious look, he seemed to see his own past.

Indeed, after standing for a long time, even if she was just being lazy, Li Nan was indeed a little thirsty. Her brother on the stage almost finished the tea in the cup, but she didn't get a single sip.

I took out the empty water bottle from the left. When I'm away from home, I don't care about anything. It's better to have something to drink than nothing. I should have gone to get some at noon, but I thought we would leave after lunch. Who knew I would have to attend this meeting.

"Squad Leader Liu, what is a lieutenant colonel? Can I become one in my sixth year? Can I also give a speech on stage?"

When Liu Feng came back with the water, Ke Minmin might have been encouraged. She took small sips of the water and did not forget to ask Liu Feng questions.

Li Nan, who was standing by, also pricked up her ears quietly. She didn't know what a lieutenant colonel was, but she knew that her brother was the deputy director of a steel mill.

"Haha, they are officers. Even though they are in the reserve force, they are still officers. We are soldiers and we have to be promoted to become officers. So, you still have a long way to go~!"

Liu Feng also sat down cross-legged. The fact that Ke Minmin dared to ask questions proved that she was a little bolder. Liu Feng didn't mind letting her know more about the situation in the army.

"After promotion, you will be lieutenant colonel?" Wiping the water stains from her lips, Ke Minmin nodded thoughtfully. Driven by curiosity, she could not help but continue asking.

"No, you have to start from second lieutenant, then lieutenant, captain, first lieutenant, and then major and lieutenant colonel. He may have made more contributions, so he was promoted faster~!"

Liu Feng had no idea what Li Feng was going through. He had no idea how he could go from being a child from an ordinary family to reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Li Feng only mentioned the first-class merit, and he took it for granted that he also added the second and third classes. Being able to win the first-class merit proved that he was capable, especially being able to join the overseas visiting delegation, which proved that Li Feng was indeed a capable person.

Since he is a capable person, it is not surprising that this friend has become a lieutenant colonel. It is not uncommon for younger people to join the army in their teens and become colonels in their twenties.

During this year's competition, when the art troupe went to express condolences, the person who won first place was promoted the next day. This is normal. As people say, the army is a good place to make achievements.

After counting on his fingers and explaining the difference to Ke Minmin, the situation was completely reversed. Ke Minmin talked more, while Li Nan spoke obviously less.

However, a hint of pride flashed across his eyes from time to time.

"Oh, if we make achievements, will we be able to come back to this stage and give a speech to everyone like him?"

"That depends on how great your achievements are. First-class achievements are hard to come by, and you have to risk your life to get them~!"

Thinking about the talented people in this competition, each one was more powerful than the other. Liu Feng had witnessed it with his own eyes. The reason why they won first place was really due to their talent and hard work, plus some luck.

Or, on the battlefield, but the latter would undoubtedly be more difficult, mainly because the opportunities are very few and far between.

"Shh~whoosh~!"

"Team one, assemble and get ready to board the bus~!"

Time was short, but it passed quickly. Before the two female recruits could figure out all this, people started blowing whistles one after another.

Of course, before it was his turn, Li Nan felt extremely anxious as he watched his fellow soldiers getting on truck after truck.

His brother clearly came and saw her, why didn’t he show up at this time!!!
"Okay, let's get ready. Secretary Guo is back. I guess we should get in the car too~!"

Standing up, Liu Feng patted the dust off his butt. He was very happy to see Li Feng today. As for whether they talked or not, it didn't matter anymore.

There is a big difference between the two people now. He has to work hard to get promoted. One day in the future, when he returns to his hometown, he has to show off his reputation at the conscription mobilization meeting.

At this time, Liu Feng was also inspired by Li Feng's experience. Such an ordinary family could be said to be not much better than his, but if they could succeed, then naturally he could too.

"Shh~, gather and get ready to get on the bus~!"

As the whistle of her team blew, Li Nan still did not wait for her brother. She carried her luggage and looked back every few steps, but the ceremony stage was already empty.

The truck compartment with the curtains drawn was very hot and stuffy under the sun. It was full of female soldiers, and everyone else was chattering about something, mostly about Li Nan's brother.

However, at this time, the little girl felt inexplicably lost and kept looking back from time to time until the truck slowly drove out of the camp and the gate was closed.

Up to this point, Li Feng had not shown up. Her brother's speech made her proud, but she was sad that he couldn't see her off.

"What are you thinking?"

Liu Feng, who was sitting opposite, noticed the change in Li Nan. Logically, this obviously extroverted female soldier should also be one of the chatterers, but in the second half, she didn't say much.

"My mom should be waiting for me at the station. I wonder if we can meet~!"

Forget it, Li Nan doesn’t want to think about it anymore. If she can’t wait for her brother, she will wait for her mother. When she sees her, she will definitely complain to her~! (End of this chapter)
