The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

"Are you going to the dinner tonight?"

After returning to the dormitory building, Li Feng had just unbuttoned his uniform and was about to change his clothes when he heard a knock on the door.

The person who asked was Lei Zhen, who lived next door.

After opening the door, Li Feng looked at Lei Zhen who was bringing Xiao Jingcheng with him. After a brief thought, he slowly shook his head.

"I have to go back to school in the evening. Wait, I'll go to the station to see my sister off. Her train is at 6:30 and she won't be able to catch it. So I'll go back to school directly~!"

Rubbing Xiao Jingcheng's head, Li Feng replied with a smile.

It was not a must-attend dinner, and Li Feng felt there was no need to attend. He was like a puppet in the army, and he would probably have to drink. If he returned to school drunk, who knows what would happen.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. You said your sister is going to the army this year. Are you studying in the military academy now?"

Lei Zhen might also be considering whether to go to the dinner party in the evening, and his face looked a little hesitant. If Li Feng was going, there would be someone to chat with at the table. If he didn't go, it would be meaningless for Lei Zhen to go, mainly because the child was still with him.

"Yes, it's the arrangement of the higher authorities. I have to take a day off from school and miss a day of class. I have to make up for it. I won't go, and I can't drink. Forget it~!"

The two of them seemed to be back on the steps of the bathhouse. Each of them lit a cigarette and started chatting in the corridor. Gradually, they developed from acquaintances to friends.

If we ignore the child's age, Li Feng could actually call him uncle, but it is precisely this age gap that highlights Li Feng's knowledge, which far exceeds that of his peers.

"Then I won't go. It's boring. I'll take the kids back to see you. I haven't seen your sister-in-law for a long time..."

There was a hint of guilt in his tone. Ever since Lei Zhen went to the southwest, from last year to this year, he has been away from home for almost two years. Any man would feel guilty.

Li Feng could also understand. This was what he meant when he said before that there was no going back. Lei Zhen did not persuade him anymore because he also understood the meaning.

What I have experienced may not be the same for everyone. It cannot be forced. The only thing is that you may only bring it up again when your children are older and you have no worries.

But by then, I don’t know how long I have to wait~!

The two chatted again for a while, from their experiences in the southwest to implicit expressions of their gratitude. Most of the time, Lei Zhen was talking and Li Feng was listening.

Maybe he also wanted to treat Li Feng as an heir or successor. If Li Feng was still in the army, he would try to transfer him no matter what. But now, he could only hope that Li Feng could figure it out sooner.

"Okay, time is almost up, let's stop here. I can't keep you here. You should go to school to study and strengthen your theoretical foundation. You should learn more knowledge while you are still young~!"

Before leaving, Lei Zhen patted Li Feng on the shoulder. The former car driver in front of him has entered the file school, proving that the organization is focusing on training him. It is a good thing no matter how you look at it. The soldiers' achievements, whether in the local area or in the army, are contributions to the country.

"Goodbye, Deputy Commander Lei~!"

After saluting solemnly and shaking hands again, Li Feng returned to the dormitory.

How could he not understand what Lei Zhen meant? He wanted to experience a military career in person, but now, he really had no way to experience it. It could be said that it was a regret for two lifetimes.

In his life, he would be content if he could put on a military uniform once in a while.

After changing his clothes, Li Feng put the military uniform he had worn for the entire afternoon back into the closet. He didn't know when he would come to this officers' dormitory next time.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at myself in the white shirt again, after taking off the military uniform, I changed from a reserve officer to an ordinary person.

The main reason was that there were too many people at the train station, and he had just been in the spotlight in front of more than a thousand new recruits. If he went there in military uniform, it would be too conspicuous. If he wore more ordinary clothes, he would just be a family member seeing him off.

Li Feng, who had no idea how many times his sister had muttered to him, actually remembered his sister's train number. This proved that Li Nan had thought too much, and her brother was still thinking about her. After this separation, it was unknown how long it would take for them to meet again, and it would be unreasonable for a brother not to go and see her.

It was a rare opportunity for a public bus to be used for private purposes. The jeep that was supposed to take him back to school turned directly west after leaving the compound gate.

Some of the new recruits took a sealed truck in Fengtai. Yes, that's right, the kind used for freight. Li Feng remembered that it was the same when he first joined the army. Be brave and open the door a little. It is a unique experience to take a ride on it.

It is still the same now. The railway's carrying capacity is limited, and the male soldiers are thick-skinned and tough. In this weather, they can sleep on straw for a few days, or on wooden planks used to cover containers, and nothing will happen.

The female soldiers are relatively comfortable. They usually have a separate carriage attached to the back of a green passenger or freight train, but the seats are hard.

When Li Xuewu first joined the army, he was considered lucky because he could move his luggage by himself when he went to sleep. He had to climb up to the luggage rack and sleep on it at night.

This time, Li Nan, like her brother, walked from Beijing Station.

However, the train had not yet arrived, so the recruits gathered in front of the square, sat down to rest and wait, so as not to affect the normal travel of passengers.

There were already a lot of onlookers gathered around the square, and there were also many parents who came to see them off.

There are thousands of families like the Li family who take the train in Fengtai at this time of year. They will definitely not be able to wait here. Those who can find out will naturally go there. Those who can't find out will go to Jingcheng Station and go back disappointed. In the crowd, Liu Qiang, who has been pulling goods and people at the exit all year round, is anxiously searching among the new recruits. His niece is joining the army this year.

Although I've known the news for a long time, I really have to leave today, and I have to see you off no matter what.

Fortunately, the female soldiers were gathered together and there were not many of them, so they were much easier to find than the male soldiers. In a short while, Liu Qiang, who was squeezing through the crowd, was the first to find the target.

"Li Nan, Li Nan~!"

With his hands clenched into a trumpet shape, Liu Qiang jumped and waved when he saw his niece, trying to attract her attention.

However, Li Nan was chatting with the girl next to him and looked unhappy, as if he didn't hear anything, which made his uncle Liu Qiang very anxious.

Seeing that he had found it, Liu Qiang stomped his feet, the sound getting louder again. In the noisy square, someone among the recruits finally heard it.

"Li Nan, is that person over there your family member? I heard him calling you~!"

Liu Feng, who was keeping an eye on all directions and keeping his ears alert, heard the voice of Liu Qiang who was blocked outside, and reminded Li Nan over there.

"Uncle, it's my uncle~!"

Seeing the familiar face, Li Nan smiled, stood up and waved, the excitement on his face returned.

"You can't go out now, and you can't meet me. Just say hello. We have to get into the station before we can meet and talk~!"

Before Li Nan was ready to go out, Liu Feng reminded him.

At this time, we are still in the team as a whole. If everyone goes to meet him, the square will become a mess, and it will be difficult to restore order.

This is just one point. Another point is that after entering the station, these recruits in military uniforms cannot leave the station.

I chatted and said goodbye to my family on the platform. It didn’t matter anymore at that time because I couldn’t get out anyway~!

Now that we haven't entered the station yet, the number of squad leaders of the recruiting officers is far less than the number of new recruits. If one or two of them run away due to emotional instability, it will be even more troublesome.

"Uncle, where's my mother?"

After being reminded by squad leader Liu Feng, Li Nan did not dare to break the rules. He stood up, curled his hands into a small trumpet, and shouted towards Liu Qiang.

There were too many people shouting in the square, all calling out names, and Li Nan's voice was eventually drowned out.

Finally, Li Nan had no choice but to point to his own position, waved his hand, then pointed in the direction of the entrance, nodding continuously. His uncle had been waiting for work at the station, so he should understand what he meant.

Liu Qiang understood. As a board boss, how could he not have this kind of foresight? He could tell from being blocked here that they were not allowed to contact each other now. As soon as Li Nan pointed in the direction of the entrance, he knew he had to go to the platform to meet him.

Liu Qiang nodded and went to look for his nephew. Liu Lei did not take any work today, but was waiting at the exit with his aunt Liu Yin.

Liu Qiang was responsible for searching, and Liu Lei was responsible for watching, to avoid crowds. Even looking back, no one knew where anyone was. In a short while, Liu Qiang, with a red face, finally emerged from the crowd.

"Sister, I found it. Come on, take a look, take a look. I'll take you to the station. It seems that I'm going to talk to you when we have to go to the platform. Now I won't let you through~!"

When mother Liu Yin heard this, she slapped her thigh, an anxious look on her face, and hurried over.

Although I had experienced this once when my son was in the army, I was undoubtedly nervous when it came to my daughter joining the army. Although I usually talked about it calmly, I was still nervous when the time came.

After all, he's a boy!

"Li Nan~!"

When Liu Qiang brought her into the circle, mother Liu Yin's eyes instantly turned red when she saw her daughter for the first time.

"Mom, I saw my brother~!"

Li Nan couldn't hear what his mother was saying at all. He didn't want to make her worry, so he told her about what he had seen with his brother.

However, the two sides were at a distance from each other and their words were incoherent, but the bond of family affection between them was undoubtedly revealed.

"Work hard when you get there, be obedient, listen to your leader, be safe, and call home if you miss home. Do you remember the number? Remember to send photos back~!"

There are so many things I want to say, but there is no way to do it now. Even if we meet after entering the station, we will only have a few minutes. I can only barely say a few words in the gap before the train leaves. (End of this chapter)
