Traveling through Xueba is full of blessings

Chapter 31 Leave
Clanking, the sound of the big green leather old-fashioned train starting was extremely loud.

This carriage was filled with female soldiers selected from surrounding cities to enlist in the army, and everyone looked different.

Some have put aside their resentment for their loved ones at home and started talking and laughing with the girls sitting around them, while some are still crying softly, telling the new comrades next to them about the scene of leaving home.In short, although the mental states are different, there are roughly the same things.

Xia Tian looked out of the window with a calm expression. In fact, only she knew that her heart was not as stable and free as it appeared on the surface.

She clearly recalled, when she left Lishu Village to report in the county, the scenes at home where her relatives sent her to the entrance of the village where she finally tasted the love of her loved ones.

When Grandpa patted the shoulders of Xia Tian, ​​who was wearing a military uniform, dressed up and held his head high, he choked up without saying a word.

Grandma couldn't help crying anymore and said, "Finally I'm going to fly away, good! Good! Promising."

Su Meili pulled Xia Qiu's arm, her crying eyes were red and swollen, and she kept telling her, "Tiantian, mother's daughter, if you are wronged outside, write a letter. Mother can't help you, but listen to you nagging about your grievances." , this bitch did a good job."

In fact, since Su Meili came back from the county exam in Xia Tian, ​​she began to instruct Xia Tian carefully on this and that.It seems that she will never finish her instructions, and she can think of some more instructions every day, including getting along with others more kindly, and the benefits of being a generous person can be illustrated with examples.

"Sister, don't go, you go, who will take me to herd the sheep? I haven't let go enough yet. I won't say it in the future, I will never dislike you again, don't say you are annoying, really, you let me I study hard and I listen."

Xia Dong has never had a deep feeling about going out to serve as a soldier in Xia Tian.Sending Xia Tian out of the village today, seeing Xia Tian wearing a brand new military uniform and carrying a large military schoolbag, carrying away all the books she often read, he panicked.Crying sobbing, he tugged at Xia Tian's sleeves, not letting her go.

Xia Qiu hurried over to pull Xia Dong away, and persuaded him in a low voice.But Xia Dong cried so hard that he couldn't listen to anything.He was just eight years old, he knew the glory of soldiers, and he usually learns from soldiers, playing war and attacking land.But if you have to reason with an eight-year-old, he won't listen when he's emotional.

Xia Tian put the military luggage bag behind her little uncle's bicycle, squatted down and looked at Xia Dong, and made a serious promise: "My sister has taught Dongzi how to add and subtract more than a hundred digits. There are 365 days a year. When Dongzi counts for 365 days, my sister will count." I will try my best to go home and see Dongzi.

You are a man now, usually watch how your brother is doing.Instead of me, I often go to chat with my grandma, and I want to take my grandfather for a walk around the village to make him happy. This is the most important task my sister entrusts to you. As a younger brother of the People's Liberation Army, you must do it.

My sister believes in Dongzi, so Dongzi must also believe that her sister will work hard and strive to come back to reunite with you as soon as possible. "

Xia Aiguo didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that he might cry when he spoke.He was embarrassed in front of the children, and he was afraid that Xia Dong would cry even more to death.

Xia Tian said to Xia Qiu: "Brother, you are the best brother in my heart. When you are not busy with work and when you are not in the field, you should read more high school textbooks. Knowledge is never learned in vain. Sooner or later you will use it. on.

You should pay more attention to your body, don't carry everything on your shoulders, and enjoy your youth happily.As for finding a wife, I think it's best to wait two years later. " Xia Tian finally teased her brother in a joking tone, in fact, she knew she was serious, his brother has not had a chance to go out now, it is not good to start a family too early.

"Grandpa and grandma, take care of your health. You have to eat two big pancakes for a meal. When I am in the army, I will take photos and send them to you. I will often write letters and write to you alone. No matter how far my granddaughter travels, The thread is also in your hands, wherever you are, there is the root of Tiantian. So, please take care of yourself in order to let Tiantian have roots."

The old man Xia who had sorted out his emotions once again choked up.At Xia Mutou's age, he had never been so ashamed, and today he was completely ashamed.Crying and chirping in front of the juniors like a bitch.

Xia Tian was the granddaughter he had coaxed in his hands since he was a child, the little granddaughter he raised secretly by delivering eggs and food.He would have to leave for at least a year, and he couldn't help himself when he thought about it.

He asked some relatives in the village who were soldiers, and they said that recruits couldn't go home as soon as they wanted to, and had to wait for seniority.When do you think you can celebrate the New Year with your granddaughter next time!

After Xia Mutou inhaled and exhaled a few times for the last time, he said, "Grandpa is glorious! Let's give grandpa some honor! When we are in the army, we will be well trained and strive to make grandpa more honorable."

Xia Tian wore a brand-new military uniform, stood at attention, and shouted to his grandfather, "I promise to complete the task!" Xia Dong forgot to cry.

In the following years, countless times when Xia Tian felt that she couldn't break through or persevere, she relied on her promise to her grandfather to complete the task, so that she could endure the very difficult moment for her.

Xia Tian didn't shed a single tear during the whole farewell process.

She thought, under the wings of her parents and the love of her grandparents, she has grown up delicately for too long, and she has always given others the impression that she is weak, not strong enough, or even meek, so let this change when saying goodbye to her relatives. Impression, this can also reassure them, let them know that Xia Tian who went out is resolute and strong enough.

Xia Tian also said a few words to everyone in the uncle's house, and finally walked to where her father Xia Aiguo was standing.

"Don't save money! All the allowances given by the state are for yourself. You have to eat and eat well, and don't worry about sending money home. We don't need a penny, and your father can still do it. Don't worry about anyone in the family. I will hide the family situation, if there is something waiting for you to write to us, I will write down the address, and if there is something to do, I will send a telegram or write a letter."

With his daughter standing in front of him, Xia Aiguo finished what he wanted to say quickly.When he watched his daughter salute her grandfather just now, he suddenly felt that his daughter had really grown up.Now that he has grown up, he should let her fly. For the sake of his daughter's future, he can't let her miss him with affection.Her daughter is from the People's Liberation Army, and he is her father, so he can't lose face.

"Father, I will miss you!" Xia Tian couldn't take it anymore, and burst into tears.

The father who carried her to the hospital on his broad shoulders when she first wore it; the father who yelled at the doctor at the hospital and called my daughter to roll her eyes; the one who always ate big pancakes with pickles Dad; the one who looks serious, but excited because she can serve as a soldier; and the one who works in the field when she is working, and the one who is always doing the work in hand, while secretly watching her to see if she is capable of moving.

She knew that the most reliable person in this world who could always stand behind her and shield her from wind and rain without asking for anything in return was Xia Aiguo, her father in Xia Tian.

Xia Aiguo looked at his daughter who suddenly burst into tears, and finally couldn't control it, his eyes turned red instantly.

It was Uncle Xia who saw that his uncle Zhao Tiezhu was a little anxious, so he came over to interrupt, patted Xia Tian on the shoulder and said: "Work hard, let's go."

Before getting on the bicycle, Xia Tian hugged Su Meili, smoothed her hair, went to the old lady, and kissed her grandma's cheek.In the morning light, under the watchful eyes of relatives, I waved my arms to say goodbye.Started her new summer journey.
