Yang Yunshan is sitting on the train back to his hometown.
The military uniform on him has been removed from his badge. Like many retired soldiers, as he got further and further away from the familiar military camp, he felt a loss he had never felt before, and his heart was empty. Maybe he was still far from home, and he couldn't feel the excitement of getting home at all.
Yang Yunshan's ears reminded the singing of his comrades at the farewell party again. This is the most beautiful song Yang Yunshan has heard in his life, despite the sound of crying. The passionate and farewell melody will be unforgettable to Yang Yunshan for life.
Yang Yunshan took out a photo from his pocket. This is a photo with his comrades when they parted. The comrades sat around the boundary monument and took a photo that everyone would always be proud of. Although everyone laughed so happily in the photo, it was taken by the company commander after five or six "rehearsals". At that time, the hearts of the comrades were covered with a layer of separation. Several newly enlisted young soldiers were crying and swollen. The company commander ordered them to "stable and stable emotions" before allowing them to take photos. Looking at the veterans and lively and cute little soldiers in the photo, Yang Yunshan's eyes were wet. What a good comrade! The friendship between comrades is the most sincere and purest. There is no dirty dealings in power and money, no sinister use of each other. There is only the baptism of blood and fire, and there is only the fusion of heart and heart.
Yang Yunshan remembered the scene when he had a meal with his comrades for the last time. That day, the sumptuous dinner had been on hand for a long time, but no one moved his chopsticks. Seeing that the food was cold, the instructor took the lead in lifting the chopsticks. Everyone was in a depressed mood, but everyone tried their best to control their emotions, for fear of accidentally destroying the atmosphere in the room. In the end, the soldier Xiao Zhu couldn't help crying, and no one could eat it. The company commander became popular and he criticized Xiao Zhu for disturbing the dinner. The company commander criticized Xiao Zhu with a clear crying voice, so a sob came to the room...
Yang Yunshan quietly wiped away the rolling tears with his hands and pulled down the brim of his hat. He was afraid that others would cry when they saw him.
Yang Yunshan took out another photo from his pocket, which was his son Xiaojunjun. In the camp, whether on duty or resting in the dormitory, Yang Yunshan kept carrying this photo with him. When he is tired, he will feel full of strength when he looks at his son's photos.
Thinking that after all, I would be home soon, and I was about to see my mother and wife whom I was thinking about day and night, Yang Yunshan felt much more relaxed again.
————————————————— Li Yan kept looking at her watch, waiting for the arrival of train 128.
On this train, Yang Yunshan, who returned from the army. Li Yan was very excited to think that she was about to meet Brother Yunshan who had been away for many years. At around
10:10, the train finally entered the station with its whistle.
After the train stopped, passengers began to walk out of the carriage. Yang Yunshan picked up his luggage and got off the train, and walked towards the exit from the crowd. The exit of
is full of men, women, young and old who are coming to pick up people. Li Yan couldn't squeeze in front of her, so she had to stand on a step on the side and stare at every passenger walking out from afar.
When Yang Yunshan appeared at the exit, Li Yan recognized him at a glance. Yang Yunshan has become much burly than a few years ago. Although his face was much darker than before, when he saw his heroic and mature appearance, Li Yan felt so familiar and so friendly.
Looking at Yang Yunshan walking out, Li Yan crawled into the crowd and squeezed forward.
"Brother Yunshan!"
Li Yan squeezed into Yang Yunshan and shouted excitedly.
Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him, Yang Yunshan was stunned.
"Brother Yunshan, give me the bag."
Li Yan took a bag from Yang Yunshan.
"Are you an egret?!" Yang Yunshan's voice trembled with excitement. "It's really an egret! I can't even recognize it."
Seeing Yang Yunshan's happy look, Li Yan was also very excited. Her eyes were wet.

When he arrived at the square, Li Yan waved his hand and a taxi drove over.
"Brother Yunshan, get in the car!"
Li Yan opened the car door.
"...It's better to take the suburbs of the city." Yang Yunshan hesitated and said.
"Just take this car, it's fast and convenient." Li Yan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? You don't want to pay."
Li Yan said, taking the luggage in Yang Yunshan's hand and stuffing it into the taxi. Yang Yunshan had no choice but to sit in.
"Long-distance bus station."
Li Yan said to the driver, and the car started driving along the street.
I haven't seen each other for several years, and I'm reunited today, so I can't tell you how happy the two of them are. They ask this and that, and there are endless topics to talk about.
When she was about to arrive at the long-distance bus station, Yang Yunshan seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Master, please stop."
"What's wrong, Brother Yunshan?" Li Yan asked.
"I almost forgot, my mother's eyes are not good, so I want to buy some medicine for my mother. By the way, I buy something for my mother."
Li Yan's heart was snatched hard by someone. This time she came to pick up Yang Yunshan, just to tell him indirectly what happened at home halfway, so as not to bear the heavy blow. But how do you tell Brother Yunshan? Li Yan felt it was really difficult to speak.
The car had already stopped. Li Yan saw that she couldn't resist for a while, so she had to wait and see her chance before talking.
"Okay, let's go together."
Li Yan paid the money and the two got out of the car together.

Yang Yunshan and Li Yan walked into a large supermarket on the side of the road.
The dazzling array of products in the supermarket made Yang Yunshan dazzled. While he looked, he wondered what to buy for his mother and sister.
Looking at Yang Yunshan who was extremely excited, Li Yan felt very sad. Brother Yunshan didn't know at this time that his beloved mother could never see what he bought. But how can I stop my son from giving my mother a filial piety?
Yang Yunshan stopped in front of a women's round-neck shirt. He will never forget the scene when his mother touched the white round-neck shirt worn by her neighbor Aunt Yang.
"How much does this shirt cost?" Yang Yunshan asked the salesperson.
"20% off for 75 yuan."
"75 yuan?" Yang Yunshan hesitated for a moment. After a while, he asked tentatively: "Comrade, see... can it be cheaper?"
"This is a discount, no bargaining." The salesperson replied.
Yang Yunshan looked at the shirt and turned around with great regret.
"Miss, get me one."
Li Yan, who walked over from the side, bought her shirt. She walked towards Yang Yunshan with her shirt.
"Brother Yunshan, hold it."
Li Yan stuffed her shirt into Yang Yunshan's arms.
"This..." Yang Yunshan's eyes emitted a strange light, and he looked at it with his shirt. Finally, he said to Li Yan:
"Let's get it back! Let's see if there are any cheaper ones."
"This is a brand of goods, at this price, it's impossible for any cheaper ones to come."
"Then..." Yang Yunshan said and took it out in his underwear pocket.
"Don't let this and that one go. You can take out as much money as you have. I see how much you can take out."
Li Yan looked at Yang Yunshan as if she was unhappy.
This makes Yang Yunshan feel a little embarrassed. He slowly pulled his hand out again.
Looking at Yang Yunshan’s forcing look, Li Yan couldn’t help but smile. After not seeing each other for a few years, Brother Yunshan's stupid appearance has not changed at all.
