Chapter 136 I Still Can't Go Home During the Spring Festival This Year (13, Ask for a Recommendation Ticket, Ask for a Monthly Ticket)
The applause just now was so loud that the steel guns surrounded several squads of soldiers, and when they heard that someone was going to sing, they even blocked the dormitory of the second class.

Some sat on the bed beside Yang Qian, or on the opposite side of Niu Lingjun, next to Qiu Shipeng and Peng Jihong.

Some sit directly on the floor. Although the floor is wiped clean and spotless, they don't mind freezing their buttocks in winter.

Others stood, or climbed to the upper bed opposite.

Anyway, each showed their abilities, and each found a viewing position that could be closer.

However, even so, the scene certainly did not exceed 100 people.

But Yang Qian is not so utilitarian, there is no need to think about the number of practice times all the time, singing to his comrades, they are happy, and he is also very happy!
"I don't know if you have written a letter to your family?"

Yang Qian hugged the guitar, sat down by the bed, and started chatting with everyone while tuning the tune.

"Have!"

Everyone raised their hands one after another, which was unexpected by Yang Qian.

"At first I thought you hadn't written letters, because it's so convenient to make phone calls, send WeChat messages, and even video chat on mobile phones. How can you still write letters?"

Yang Qian was a little curious. Yang Qian could see everyone playing with their phones just now.

"It's not that I can only write letters, but sometimes I feel that I can't say some things on the phone, so I want to write letters. Writing letters is more emotional."

Qiu Shipeng was a little embarrassed to say that.

"In the early years, we didn't have a mobile phone to play with. Unlike now, we have relaxed the management of mobile phones. So when we have time to talk to our family members, we write them in letters."

A soldier who Yang Qian didn't know very well, who should be from another squad, also raised his hand to answer.

"It may also be Mensao! Didn't the monitor write a lot of letters to his girlfriend, but never sent them?"

Niu Lingjun laughed and told Wu Shudong's "embarrassing incident".

"Fuck off!"

A dumbfounding, familiar voice came from one side, and Yang Qian turned his head to see that Squad Leader Wu came back at some point.

Of course, there is no need to care about free time, and Squad Leader Wu didn't mean not to sing for him!People are standing there waiting to listen to the song...

"Well, in fact, the inspiration for my song came from my uncle. He came to Yangcheng alone to work hard. At that time, telephones were not popular, let alone mobile phones and WeChat. Life was very hard. Business is not going well, and when you are sad, you will miss home very much, and when you miss home, you will write letters to your parents..."

"Not to mention so much, today's "A Letter from Home", I hope everyone likes it!" (Note 1)

After Yang Qian tuned up the guitar, he began to play it lightly, a simple prelude flowed faintly from his fingertips.

Without the melodious harmonica, this prelude seems to lack soul.

But due to limited conditions, Yang Qian himself doesn't know how to play the harmonica, so he doesn't have to worry about so many details, the key is to sing.

"Dear Mom and Dad,

howare you guys?

I'm very busy at work now,

How are you..."

At the beginning of a letter format, first explain the title, and then greet the parents-is the work hard, and is the body healthy?
The lyrics of this song are like a letter.

Yang Qian can't say that he can really feel the sadness of wandering in a foreign land and looking at his hometown. After all, he hasn't been away from home for a long time, and it wasn't too sad to leave home before studying.

But for a literati who used to like to read and write poems and was a bit boring, the emotion of missing his hometown and parents is the easiest to imagine.

He played the guitar and sang softly. His voice was not sad, but his special articulation and breath were enough to convey this emotion through his singing.

A corner of the dormitory filled with dozens of people, from the noisy state at the beginning, quickly became quiet.

The comrades stared at Yang Qian intently, as if unwilling to miss every line of the lyrics.

"I am doing well in Yangcheng now.
Mom and Dad, don't worry too much,
Although I seldom write letters,
I actually miss home very much…”

The lyrics are very simple, unlike the "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" sung by Yang Qian earlier, which used a lot of gorgeous rhetoric and a lot of classical Chinese style.

It is just like everyone talking and chatting, it is simple and expresses the feeling of homesickness.

But it's the direct emotions that move people the most.

When Yang Qian sang, he would look away from his guitar and look at the comrades around him.

Under their resolute faces, clean and pure eyes flickered, as if the softness of their hearts had been touched.

"Does dad go to work every day?
Don't go if you don't manage it strictly.
I have done revolutionary work all my life,

It's time to rest..."

Although fishing is not good...

But as a child who is far away in a foreign land and worried about the health of his parents, caring for his father seems to be able to open up that barrier.

These words hidden deep in my heart seem to be uttered in the letter at this moment.

Yes!

What could be more worthy of our expectation than your health?

However, everyone's feelings for their father may still be somewhat indirect.

The following lyrics, which are like a running account, can really directly touch people's hearts!
"I bought a sweater for my mother,

Don't hesitate to put it on.
My son was not very obedient before.

Now that he is sensible, he has grown up..."

Especially when they heard the last two sentences, the soldiers who had been naughty, rebellious, and ignorant all couldn't help but think of the scene when they made their mother angry.

When I was young and ignorant, when I was sensible, I was already wandering in other places, unable to control myself...

When my mother was young, she was mischievous and caused her a lot of trouble.

When I knew how to be filial to my mother, I had no chance to go home all year round, and even had no vacation to go home for several years.

I can only watch my mother on the other end of the phone getting older and her hair turning gray...

Manly man, sweat and blood but not tears.

But at this moment, although everyone is still tense in silence, many people's eyes are already red, and hot tears are rolling in them.

"Do brothers and sisters come back often?
Greet them for me,

Let them do any work,

How polite are your own children..."

Yang Qian didn't know why, when he sang before, he didn't feel as much as today.

Maybe it's because my emotions are not enough to substitute?

Maybe it's because I haven't really experienced the longing for not being able to go home for several years?

Or maybe it's because the emotions of the original singer didn't explode, and I just imitated...

But today seems to be very different. Yang Qian's mood seems to be greatly affected by seeing the red eyes of his comrades-in-arms, and some people secretly wiping their eyes.

Slowing down a bit, Yang Qian began to elongate his voice again, and sang with deeper emotions:

"Mom and Dad, take care of yourself..."

This "Mom and Dad" directly broke the tense emotions of many comrades-in-arms.

It seems that the lyrics don't have any special explosive points, but they feel that Yang Qian's shout is as if they shouted it.

Even Wu Shudong, whom Yang Qian felt was the most "ruthless", turned his face away at this time, raised his elbow and wiped his tear-stained cheeks with his sleeves fiercely - he didn't want to expose his fragility to other people. in front of people.

How did Yang Qian know that this "Mom and Dad" was actually singing the most helpless and helpless memory in their hearts.

Not everyone's parents are in good health, but they will always be by their side when they need them most.

There won't be many cases like this.

But one appearance is enough to make them heartbroken and mournful, but after being sad, they still have to cheer up and continue to stick to their posts.

This is probably the biggest helplessness of soldiers who can't balance defending their home and country with repaying their parents...

"...don't make your son worry,

I will definitely go home this Spring Festival,
Alright, let's write this first..."

What followed were "Sincerely, Salute" and "Sincerely, Salute" over and over again. It seemed that what Yang Qian sang was not the final format of the envelope, but an apology to his parents, and his own deep guilt...

However, it was as if Wu Shudong didn't want everyone to see his tears just now.

Everyone else quickly adjusted their emotions while Yang Qian was slowly finishing up.

You shouldn't cry, as a soldier, you should keep your mission in mind and be strong!
Of course, they still liked Yang Qian's song very much. As soon as it ended, they received the warmest applause. Everyone was smiling and clapping hard.

Niu Lingjun, who usually always has a playful smile, cried the most sadly just now, with his head nestled in his arms, crying bitterly secretly.

But at this moment, he is still joking with red eyes:

"Xiao Yang, I think your lyrics need to be changed. 'I will definitely go home this Spring Festival', you have to change it to 'I still can't go home this Spring Festival'!"

"I can't go home, how can I lie..."

(Note 1: "A Letter from Home" here is the original version of Mr. Li Chunbo. In fact, Xiaohan originally wanted to write the promotion song of "Everything Is Well", the version of "WeChat is often sent" adapted by the good sister group, but After listening to it in comparison, I still feel that the original version is good, and the emotions expressed in the lyrics are more direct and sincere. After all, it was Mr. Li Chunbo’s true feelings of missing his parents when he was most helpless...)
　It's not a green flower in the army. As I said earlier, this song is not a military song. Second, the green flower in the army actually wrote too much. Xiaohan wanted to write a song about homesickness.
