June 1st, 2011. At this time, Shijiazhuang train station was as crowded as ever. Today was Children's Day. Many families took their children out to play in order to celebrate the holiday.
At this moment, a young man walked out of the train station. At the same time, he also attracted the attention of many people. The young man was 1.85 meters tall and looked a little thin, but he had a particularly delicate face. The man looked very young, probably in his early twenties, but his eyes occasionally revealed a hint of determination. Coupled with his dignified and handsome military uniform, he attracted the attention of many people.
This person's name was Li Xuan, a soldier who had just retired from the Beijing Art Troupe a week ago. Li Xuan stood in the square of the train station and looked at the people coming and going. The military uniform on his body attracted a lot of attention.
One of the young women in her twenties saw Li Xuan and said to her husband beside her,"Honey, look, this person is a little strange.”
The young woman's husband glanced at Li Xuan and said,"What's so strange about that? He's a soldier, but it looks like he's retired. Maybe he's from Shijiazhuang and is going home now?”
The young woman kept looking at Li Xuan like this. She could not even care less about her husband and child beside her. The young woman said,"Yeah, but he's so handsome! However, why did he feel that he looked familiar? He seemed to have seen him somewhere before.”
When the husband heard his wife's infatuated words, he said angrily,"You still can't change your love-struck habit. How can you know the People's Liberation Army? No one in your family is a soldier. Alright, our time is almost up.”After saying that, he pulled his wife towards the waiting room.
There were many such situations in the train station. Many women, especially those who had just married into the family in their twenties, looked at Li Xuan one after another. They all had a feeling of deja vu.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, smiled slightly. Then, he lowered the brim of his hat and walked towards the bus station. Li Xuan looked at the bustling scene in front of him and felt a little emotional. It had been two years. He had not been to Shijiazhuang Jia Zhuang for two years, and he had never returned home.
At this moment, the phone in Li Xuan's pocket rang. Li Xuan picked up the phone and said,"Hello,"
"Xiao Xuan, have you gotten off the train yet? Your father and I looked at the time. It should be about time, right?"
Hearing the voice on the phone, an image appeared in Li Xuan's mind. His parents kept looking at the clock on the wall, and then they held their phones in their hands, waiting for him to get off the train so that they could contact him.
Li Xuan held the phone and said,"Mom, I got off the train and am walking to the passenger station. I'll call you when I get on the bus."”"Alright, alright. Don't worry. Be careful."”
Li Xuan hung up the phone and smiled. His mother was still the same. Every time Li Xuan went on a long trip, he would ask this and that. He was very worried. Two years ago, Li Xuan would always quarrel with his mother because his mother was too long-winded. However, today, Li Xuan felt exceptionally warm.
Li Xuan got on the bus to the passenger station and then admired the scenery of Shi Jia Shijiazhuang. He had not been back for two years, and Shi Jia Zhuang had also changed a lot. Some high-rise buildings that Li Xuan had never seen before had also risen, but most of them were roads and overpasses. These basic buildings had changed the most.
An hour later, Li Yu arrived at the bus station. He bought a ticket to his hometown and waited on the bus. In the car, Li Xuan picked up his phone out of boredom and started to play games. The game on his phone was not a big game, it was just an ordinary Bubble Bobble. It came with his phone because Li Xuan's phone was not a smartphone at all. It was a 2007 Nobel.
For the smartphone wave that had already set off in the world, Li Xuan's phone was already quite outdated. However, this phone was still quite good before 2009. The most important thing was that it was sturdy. After all, only Nobel could use a mobile phone to smash walnuts. Moreover, this sentence was invented by Li Xuan. He had experimented with it back then, and he had done it in front of 20 million people. Later on, Li Xuan said a lot of words of praise for Noah. Back then, Noah had even sent a thank-you letter to Li Xuan. Among them was a relatively good phone at that time, but the phone was given away by Li Xuan.
At this moment, there were more and more people on the bus. Slowly, a middle-aged man in his fifties sat beside Li Xuan. When the middle-aged man saw Li Xuan in his military uniform, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation,"Young man, which village are you from?”
Li Xuan saw that the man was talking to him, and the other party's dialect made Li Xuan feel very close. He put away his phone and said with a smile,"From Zhongshan Village."
When the man heard Li Xuan's words, he smiled and said,"Is that so? We're not far away. I'm from Xichao Village.”
When Li Xuan heard this, he smiled slightly. Zhongshan Village was only separated from Xi Yi Village by a small river, and Li Xuan's mother was from Xi Yi Village.
The man glanced at Li Xuan's military uniform and asked,"Young man, from the looks of it, you should be a soldier. Retired?”
"Yeah, I just retired a week ago and haven't been home for two years."”After saying that, Li Xuan looked at the scenery outside the car as if he was recalling something.
"Young man, I used to be a soldier too, but that was in 1992." May I ask which military region you are in?”The man might have seen that Li Xuan was his junior and was also a retired soldier, so he spoke more.
Li Xuan said,"I'm a ***."”
When the man heard this, he said," So it's the capital. Then you're not bad. Back then, all of us went to Xinjiang. The environment in Xinjiang is good now, and the living conditions have improved. However, 20 years ago, it was very poor. When I first went there, I fell seriously ill because I wasn't used to the environment.”
When Li Xuan heard this, he said,"We also admire the seniors and ancestors of that era very much.”
When the man heard Li Xuan's words, he smiled as if he was very satisfied. Then, he asked,"Young man, can you tell me what kind of soldier you are? If it's not convenient for you, you don't have to say it. I still know the rules.”The man was afraid that Li Xuan would misunderstand and think that he was asking about Li Xuan's serial number. After all, the serial number was a secret at this time.
Li Xuan said,"I'm from the Beijing Art Troupe."”
The man smiled and said,"So you're a versatile person."”The art troupe used the art and literature to comfort the frontline troops, in order to increase their boldness and relieve their psychological pressure. Moreover, the soldiers in each art troupe knew more than one skill. Some could sing, but they could also dance. Some could play several instruments, and some could play modern instruments as well as traditional Chinese instruments.
Li Xuan only smiled when he heard this. Not long after, it was time for the bus to set off. As the bus set off, Li Xuan was one step closer to his hometown. Li Xuan saw the Hutuo River again. At this time, the Hutuo River was no longer as dry as it was a few years ago. Instead, there was water. There were rows of green willows on both sides of the river. Li Xuan could still see many people walking along the river. Even though it was already close to noon, there were still many people.
Crossing the Hutuo River was the hometown of the ever-victorious general, the Martial God Zhao Zilong. Li Xuan saw many statues of Zhao Zilong. These statues had existed in the past. Now that he saw them, Li Xuan had a very close feeling.
An hour and a half later, Li Xuan finally arrived at his hometown, Wu Ji. Wu Ji was only a small county, it was a suburb under Shijiazhuang Jia Zhuang, and it was at the edge, so its development was average, not very developed nor very bad.
When Li Xuan entered Wu Ji's territory, he was a little nervous. Back then, the furthest place Li Xuan had been to was Beijing. However, before he became a soldier, Li Xuan had not been away from home for more than a month. However, this time, it was two years.
Li Xuan took out his phone and dialed his father's number. Little Xuan?"
When Li Xuan heard his father's familiar voice, he said,"Dad, I've arrived at the county town. We'll be home in ten minutes."
When Li Xuan's father heard Li Xuan's words, he said,"We're in the county? Good! We'll pick you up on the highway." His father hung up the phone after saying that. Li Xuan smiled bitterly. Although his father tried his best to remain calm when he spoke just now, some of his actions still revealed his father's current mood.
Sure enough, at this moment, at home, Father Li hurriedly came to the kitchen after hanging up on Li Xuan. It turned out that Mother Li was making dumplings. Moreover, not only were Li Xuan's parents at home, but there were also Li Xuan's three aunts, uncle, and aunt, as well as a few cousins, uncle, and aunt.
Mr. Li immediately said excitedly to Mrs. Li," Hurry up, Xiaoxuan has arrived at the county town. Let's go pick him up. Don't cook for now. Let's go first."”
The aunt smiled and said," It's not like Xiao Xuan doesn't know the way when he comes back. We'll just welcome him at the intersection later. Do you have to be so nervous? He's not a child. Don't treat him like a child in the future. He's still 21 years old. When Xiao Xuan comes back, we'll have a chance to find him a wife."”
Mr. Li was a little speechless by his sister-in-law's words. He had no choice. His future daughter-in-law had already come out. How could Mr. Li reject her?
Mrs. Li smiled and said," Alright, it's not like you don't know how he is. Listen to him. Let's go pick up Xiaoxuan on the road."”To be honest, Mother Li also wanted to see her son as soon as possible. After all, Li Xuan was the only child in the family. He did not even have any sisters. Li Xuan was the only child, so of course he was very concerned.
When the bus passed by the neighboring village of Zhongshan Village, Li Xuan became nervous. Li Xuan felt a little nostalgic. He did not know what kind of expression he would have when he saw his parents. Would he be happy or touched?
As the bus slowly pushed forward, Li Xuan finally saw the familiar buildings in Zhongshan Village. Whether it was the old houses or the new houses, they all made Li Xuan feel very beautiful. After all, this was his home.
Li Xuan quickly said to the ticket seller in the car,"Please alight at the village entrance in front." The ticket seller nodded at Li Xuan and then repeated it to the driver.
After arriving at the location, the driver stopped the car. The ticket seller said to Li Xuan,"We've arrived at the entrance of Zhongshan Village!"
After the ticket seller finished speaking, Li Xuan took his luggage and left his seat, walking towards the car door.
