Chapter 1405 Xiaolei Village!

"Squad leader, you can't leave when we get to the county town. My parents will let me keep you here!"

"What's wrong with you? Your family has already found a place for you, but why do you have to run back? There are so many people who want to stay but can't!"

Wang Chun shook his head decisively. He had been spoiled since he was a child and suffered a lot after joining the army. You know, he weighed 160 pounds at the beginning, but in just two short years of military career, he lost weight to nearly 120 pounds now.

Especially after going to the battlefield and seeing the separation of life and death, one becomes even less attached to military life.

"No!" He shook his head decisively, and then said with a look of longing: "I have had enough of being a soldier. I want to go to Guangdong with my cousin to make money in the future!"

"You kid~" Lei Hu shook his head and stopped talking. Now is indeed a good opportunity. As long as you have the courage to take risks, you can make a fortune. What's more, his father is the second in command of the county public security department, and there is someone at home to back him up!

This old-fashioned bus was quickly filled with people, even though there was a sign on the right side of the bus that said "overloading is strictly prohibited" and that the bus was only allowed to carry 26 passengers.

But the driver didn't care. Soon the car was full of at least 40 people. Soon there was no room for anyone to squeeze in, so he started the car reluctantly and set off.

Lei Hu leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, but in fact he was sorting out the memories in his mind.

When Xiaoleijia Village was still a production brigade, it was a well-known poor village, mainly because the land was not fertile enough.

There were a total of 400 teams with more than households. Although it was not to the point of starvation, they ate sweet potatoes all day long and could not see meat all year round.

There is a rumor in the surrounding area that "good girls don't marry into the Lei family", which results in young men being unable to find wives. The village is well-known as a bachelor village.

All this finally underwent earth-shaking changes until Lei Dongbao came back. In just a few years, the brick yard, construction team, prefabricated panel factory, pig farm, and now the county-famous Dengfeng Wire Factory have been established. This is a complete turnaround.

The reason why it is called Xiao Lei's Family is that more than half of the people in the village have the surname Lei, and almost all of them are related. The original Lei Hu and Lei Dongbao are brothers within the fifth degree of mourning, and they have been warmongers since childhood.

Because his grandfather was the team leader of the village, and due to special reasons, the school didn't dare to intervene, so he wandered around with his friends all day long.

It was even more amazing when he reached middle school. He was a little bully in the commune middle school, and the nickname "Brother Tiger" was not earned for nothing.

When Lei Dongbao came back, he was highly regarded. He was always at the forefront of everything related to the distribution of land to households. He would fight anyone who disagreed. When he was a child, he practiced farming skills with his grandfather for a few days. Not to mention people of the same age, even Shigen and Sibao, who were much older than him, were no match for him.

Later, the old man saw that people came to complain every day and felt that this was not a good way to go. In the long run, he would offend everyone. So he simply asked someone to send the original body to the army to serve as a soldier.

He has been away for five years. Last year, he followed the troops to southern Xinjiang to participate in the war. This time, the hero finally had a place to use his talents. As a scout, he had a great record on the battlefield and had countless scars on his body.

If things had gone normally, he would have returned from the battlefield and studied in the teaching brigade for half a year, and when he came out he would have been able to become a platoon leader. However, who would have thought that he would encounter the army being disbanded.

As I was thinking about it, I slowly fell asleep...

After an unknown amount of time, Lei Hu felt someone patting his arm.

"Squad leader, squad leader!"

"Well, what's wrong?" He opened his eyes dazedly.

"We're almost there!"

Wang Chun's face was filled with excitement. The young man was forced by his father to join the army at the age of 16. In the blink of an eye, he had not been home for two years. He was somewhat homesick.

"Oh~" Lei Hu yawned, rubbed his eyes and looked out the window.

The county town in the 80s was still in ruins. There were not many buildings along the streets. The tallest building was the department store we just passed by, but it was only four stories high. Many of the bungalows still had quotations painted on their doors.

There are few pedestrians on the streets, let alone motor vehicles. Nowadays, anything with four wheels is not affordable for ordinary people.

There are quite a few horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts carrying things moving slowly along the street, but it is a little deserted because there are no hawking sounds on either side of the street, and some small businesses are not yet able to operate openly.

The car did not enter the station, but stopped directly on the side of the road for some reason. Lei Hu and Wang Chun got off with their luggage.

As far as he could remember, he was not very familiar with the county town. His previous limited activities were all in the commune, which of course has now been renamed Hongwei Township.

But Wang Chun looked around and soon found the target. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiao Qi!"

"Big spring!"

Driver Xiao Qi is the driver of Wang Chun's father. You have to know that not only other departments, but even some leaders in the county don't have cars. As the second-in-command, Old Wang can get one, which is also due to the special nature of public security.

Wang Chun was very excited to see his acquaintance and ran over grabbing Lei Hu.

"Brother Xiao Qi, this is my squad leader in the army!"

"Squad leader, this is my father's driver~"

Looking at the man in front of me with his back straight, there is a familiar aura about him. I don't need to guess to know that the other person must have served in the army.

Lei Hu naturally couldn't be as casual as Wang Chun, so he extended his hand very politely: "Hello, Brother Qi!"

"Hello, squad leader Lei!"

Wang Chun had already put his luggage in the back row, but when he found that his squad leader didn't come over, he turned around and waved.

"Let's go, squad leader. I've already told my parents that you can stay at home today, and I'll have Brother Xiao Qi drive you home tomorrow!"

"Dachun, I won't go over there. I'll visit you again when I have time~"

After that, no matter how the other party invited him, Lei Hu still refused with a smile. If other young people had a car, they would naturally be unhappy, but as a person who was reborn, he still had his limits.

He pulled driver Qi aside and told him about Wang Chun's abnormal behavior. Then he watched the car leave and turned back to the station.

Of course, there is no regular bus from the county seat to Hongwei Township. Only buses going to other county seats pass by, but it is past the time now.

So he could only wander around, and finally, with the help of his military uniform and discharge certificate, he found a hand tractor at the nearby grain station and returned home.

"Thump, thump, thump!" After stumbling along the way for an hour, we finally arrived at the entrance of Xiao Lei's village before the sun set.

"Thanks, brother!" Lei Hu took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

The moment he saw the Daqianmen, the driver of the tractor bared his yellow teeth and quickly put the cigarette in his pocket.

"It's okay, we are all comrades-in-arms. I was a soldier before~"

"Thump, thump, thump~" After the hand tractor left, Lei Hu walked towards the village with the luggage bag.

After six years of development, Xiao Lei's family has seen scenes that are rarely seen in other villages become commonplace here.

For example, there are many elderly people who sit under a big tree to enjoy the cool air before the sun sets. People in other villages have trouble even getting enough food and clothing, so they naturally don’t have the leisure time to do so.

At this time, an old man wearing a double-ribbed vest with five big words "Serve the People" printed on it felt that the person coming over looked familiar.

"Comrade, whose family are you from?"

Lei Hu looked strange when he heard this, but then he quickly realized that his military career in the past few years had indeed changed a lot from before.

"Sixth Master, you don't recognize me, my father is Lei Fengshan!"

"Hey, you are the 19th brother from my second brother's family. Are you back from the army?"

"Yes~"

As soon as he admitted it, those lazy old men and women got furious.
