Time passed in the daily battles between Suihe and Li Yichen. In a blink of an eye, Suihe had been in the army for more than three years. This year, he submitted a report and wanted to go home to visit his family.

People at home still write to him every month, and he receives an "oversized" parcel every two months. Since he went to the border for special training for more than a year, the address of the family's letters and parcels has been changed and they are all mailed here. Fourth Aunt even mails boxes of mosquito repellent here.

His fourth uncle, fourth aunt and two younger sisters told him everything about the family, big and small, in great detail, regardless of whether Suihe was willing to read it or not. They both wrote it on their own stationery, and he could read it or not, but he had to reply seriously, otherwise it would be difficult to fool the little girls.

Suihe stood at the barracks door, clutching the heavy letter he had just received, his heart filled with longing. Over the past three years, he had spent over a year in the army and another year in special training at the border, enduring hardships and trials. Letters from his family were what he looked forward to most each month.

He took a deep breath and slowly unfolded the letter. Fourth Uncle's handwriting was as neat and powerful as ever, Fourth Aunt's instructions were as meticulous and detailed as ever, and his two sisters' anecdotes made him laugh. He could almost feel them right beside him, caring for him and supporting him.

"He, the whole family is looking forward to your return!" Fourth Uncle wrote in the letter. Sui He looked up at the sky, his eyes slightly moist. He knew that he had sacrificed too much for the country and the expectations of his family, but at this moment, he felt that it was all worth it.

With his family's care and encouragement, Suihe worked even harder in his military training. Li Yichen even wondered if his abilities had regressed. Otherwise, how could Suihe continue to grow stronger?

Eight months later, the Lunar New Year is almost here, and Suihe's application to go home to visit his family has been approved. He took advantage of his afternoon break to quickly start packing his luggage, preparing to go home in a few days.

He'd picked out a few pieces of military uniform. Because their special branch of the military requires daily combat, their clothes wear out quite a bit. He'd chosen the most worn pieces for Fifth Grandpa to take back home. He'd loved military uniforms his whole life, so he'd have Fourth Aunt mend them and make them wearable. He also had some certificates of honor and medals he'd earned during special border training. He wanted his family to see his growth and progress, to reassure them.

After packing his luggage, he found a few newspapers, all of which were about the operations they participated in. Although the newspapers did not specify their identities and numbers, and only mentioned the word "People's Liberation Army", they still recorded their achievements, so he wanted to take them back to show his father, fourth uncle, and fifth grandfather.

Finally, the day to visit his family arrived. Suihe boarded the train home. As the train sped along the tracks, the scenery outside the window gradually and rapidly receded, and Suihe's heart began to beat faster. He knew he was getting closer and closer to home.

After five days and six nights on the train, Suihe, dressed in casual clothes, apprehended several thieves and a human trafficking ring, and even saved an elderly man suffering a heart attack, the train finally arrived at Kyoto Station. He couldn't wait to get out of the train, breathing in the fresh Kyoto air. Following the crowd out of the station, he could see his father, his fourth uncle, his fourth aunt, and his sisters waiting for him at the exit.

This is a scene that has appeared in his dreams many times. At this moment, he feels that no matter how many challenges and difficulties there are in the future, as long as he has the support and company of his family, he can move forward courageously.
