It must be said that Xiao Yu is indeed someone who understands Lin Sanjun, and is indeed someone that Lin Sanjun wants to learn from. Xiao Yu's salute and recognition of him as a comrade-in-arms is his favorite gift, and it is also a kind of affirmation for Lin Sanjun. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he was smiling, but also nervous. He also saluted, although it was a bit out of place and the movements were not standard, but the boy's dream really started from this moment: "Hello, Xiao... Captain Xiao, I am your comrade-in-arms, Lin Sanjun."

Xiao Yu led Lin Sanjun through the gate and began to introduce him to everything he had seen and heard. Finally, he led him to the yard: "This is the home your sister and I live in the army. Go and have a rest first. I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, and show you our training ground in the afternoon."

Lin Sanjun: "Brother-in-law, I'm not tired."

Xiao Yu: "Take a rest even if you are not tired. I have something else to do. I will call you later."

Lin Sanjun: "Okay, thank you, brother-in-law."

Xiao Yu returned to the office, and when it was noon, he took Lin Sanjun to the army cafeteria. The cafeteria was very lively, with many people, and everyone was chatting while eating. For these soldiers who were training or on missions every day, meal time and sleep time were rare times to relax.

"Captain Xiao, are there any relatives coming home?"

The soldier who was slightly familiar with Xiao Yu asked.

Xiao Yu: "It's my brother-in-law."

"I thought he was Captain Xiao's younger brother. He looks a bit like Captain Xiao."

Lin Sanjun and Xiao Yu don't look alike, but they are similar in temperament. Xiao Yu is the person Lin Sanjun wants to learn from, so Lin Sanjun will unconsciously imitate him, and therefore, the two are somewhat similar in temperament.

After dinner, the two went home for a nap. When the time came, Xiao Yu took Lin Sanjun to the training ground and asked him to train with other soldiers to see his physical fitness. If it was an ordinary person, Xiao Yu would certainly not let him participate, but Lin Sanjun had passed the recruitment test and he was now a soldier.

Lin Sanjun has good physical strength. At the same time, he is a very capable person, or you could say he has perseverance. Even though he was sweating profusely, he didn't complain about the hard work and asked to stop and rest. He gritted his teeth and kept up with everyone's pace.

Lin Sanjun's perseverance comes from the poverty of his family when he was a child and from witnessing his parents starving to death, so he is willing to fight. Even after Lin Yiyi came through and the family's conditions improved, Lin Yiyi still asked them to be self-sufficient, which also made

They have developed the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work. Lin Sanjun wanted to change his family. He saw with his own eyes how Qi Bocai looked down on his sister. At a young age, he decided to become his sister's support. These became his motivation to persevere.

If at the beginning, he joined the army only out of selfishness and not wanting to be looked down upon, then at this moment, from the moment he entered the army to now participating in training and listening to the majestic voices of the soldiers, he had a sacred duty in his heart, the duty of a soldier.

Xiao Yu looked at him, and saw his eyes change from stubborn to firm. Xiao Yu knew what Lin Sanjun was thinking, but he didn't want Lin Sanjun to join the army with this idea. He thought that after joining the army, others would not dare to bully them. This mentality was wrong, and maybe one day in the future, it would lead Lin Sanjun astray.

When Lin Sanjun wanted to join the army, Xiao Yu did not stop him because he saw the gloom and indifference in Lin Sanjun's eyes. This indifference was the indifference of seeing through life and death. He felt that the army was a place to train people, but he was worried about Lin Sanjun's mentality. But now, seeing the changes in Lin Sanjun, he was relieved.

Before going to bed at night, Lin Sanjun went to find Xiao Yu: "Brother-in-law, I want to discuss something with you."

Jin-Woo nodded and motioned for him to speak.

Lin Sanjun had already made up his mind, and his determination was very strong, so he did not hesitate now: "I am going to join the army, and my job at the pig farm will be vacant. I plan to sell it to Brother Xiao San. Do you think it's okay?"

Xiao Yu didn't have any other thoughts: "What did your sister say?"

Lin Sanjun: "Sister said I should make my own decisions about my own work."

Xiao Yu: "Then just listen to your sister. You are in charge of your own work."

Lin Sanjun: “Yeah.”

Lin Sanjun stayed in the army for several days. He was supposed to go home after two days because it was the New Year. However, Xiao Yu said he was going home too and asked Lin Sanjun to wait for a few more days.

Because the New Year was coming, Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju also returned to the countryside. In fact, Lin Yiyi also liked the countryside, but it was very annoying that there was no electricity in the countryside. There were many inconveniences without electricity. In addition to kerosene lamps, their family also used flashlights, which were fixed in one place and turned on when needed. This was a waste of batteries, but fortunately Lin Yiyi could afford batteries.

At the end of the year, the village is bustling with activity. Some are delivering their pigs, while others are preparing for the New Year. Even Qin Xiangju can be found everywhere and make a lot of things happen.

The baby was handed over to Lin Yiyi. The three-month-old child slept in the cradle, basking in the sun in the shade of the yard, and his eyes were moving very quickly. The mosquito net of the cradle was covered with a thin white cloth to protect the child's eyes, while at the same time, the white cloth would not affect his vision.

Since he had his nephew, Lin Wudi stopped going out to play with his friends. He likes to listen to stories and he also likes to tell stories. He used to tell stories to piglets and chickens for half a day, but now that he has grown up, he knows that telling stories to piglets and chickens is silly, so he doesn't tell them anymore. When he tells stories to people, his stories are limited, and his friends don't like to listen to the stories he tells over and over again. Now, after having Xiaoyi, he finally has loyal listeners.

Brother Lin Wu moved a small chair to the side of the rocking bed and stepped on it to make it rock gently. He then opened the white cloth and mosquito net and hung them on both sides. Then he said, "Eleven, today your uncle will tell you a new story."

Lin Yiyi was washing clothes in the yard, using the hot water she had prepared. She couldn't handle washing clothes with cold water. When she heard Lin Wudi saying that he was going to tell Xiaoyi a new story, she couldn't help but laugh and shake her head. What Lin Wudi meant by a new story was one that he hadn't told yesterday, but he had definitely told it the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday.

But after Lin Wudi had been telling his story for a while, he suddenly said in surprise, "Brother-in-law is back." Then he ran out.

Lin Yiyi turned her head and did not see Xiao Yu at the gate of the yard. But soon, she heard Lin Wudi say, "Brother-in-law, are you back? I miss you so much. I tell stories every day in Eleven. He likes to listen to my stories. Every time I tell a story, he smiles at me."

Lin Sanjun came with Xiao Yuyi. When he saw Lin Wudi chattering to Xiao Yu, he didn't notice that the three of them had also returned.

Xiao Yu: "Xiaowu is awesome."

Lin Yiyi got up quickly after hearing Xiao Yu's reply and saw Xiao Yu and Lin Sanjun coming in. Lin Yiyi: "You guys are really back. Xiao Wu knew you were back even in the yard. He's really sensitive."

Fifth Brother Lin: “I heard it.”

Lin Yiyi: “Did you hear that?”

Fifth Brother Lin: "I heard my brother-in-law coming back. People outside were greeting him. I also heard his footsteps."

So, this is still the detection radar of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was stunned: "Every time I come back, you can hear footsteps?"

Brother Lin Wu nodded.

Xiao Yu: "Your hearing is probably unmatched."

Lin Wudi

He puffed out his chest proudly: "My ears are the best."

Lin Sanjun: "Sister, I'm going to find Brother Xiao San."

Lin Yiyi heard this and said, "Are you talking about temporary workers at the pig farm?"

Lin Sanjun nodded: "I plan to sell it to him for 100 yuan." Temporary workers in a pig farm only work for 4 months, 18 yuan per month, which is 72 yuan a year. If it is sold for 100 yuan, it is not expensive, but also not cheap. The price is still relatively appropriate.

Lin Yiyi said, "Okay, go ahead." Her younger brother has grown up, and as long as there is no problem with her idea, Lin Yiyi will not deny it.

Lin Sanjun arrived at the Xiao family's old house. Before the Chinese New Year, it was the women who were busy, because they had to prepare New Year's goods and clean every corner of the house. These were all done by women, so the men were free. When Lin Sanjun arrived, Xiao Bin was playing with his son.

Lin Sanjun: "Brother Xiao San."

Xiao Bin: "Hey, Sanjun is back. I heard you went to join the second brother's army. How's it going?"

Lin Sanjun: "Very good. Brother Xiao San, I have something to discuss with you."

Xiao Bin was stunned: "What's the matter?" His second brother's brother-in-law has something to discuss with him?

Lin Sanjun: "I will be joining the army on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Would you like to buy my temporary job at the pig farm?" Lin Sanjun was not good at beating around the bush, but his straightforwardness surprised Xiao Bin, a man like him, for a while. However, the temporary job at a pig farm was indeed a good job, so Xiao Bin of course took it. However, "Is this what my second sister-in-law meant?" He was also a little hesitant.

Lin Sanjun: "No, it's my idea. My sister gave me the job and doesn't care how I arrange it. I want to sell it to you. Do you want it?"

Xiao Bin: "Yes, yes, yes." How could he refuse such a good job? He was not a fool. "How much does this job pay?"

Lin Sanjun: “One hundred.”

Xiao Bin knew his family's financial situation. Because his son was well-fed, his family was not completely broke, but they did not have a hundred dollars in savings. He said, "I don't have a hundred dollars now, maybe only sixty. Can you hold on for two days? I'll go and borrow some money."

Lin Sanjun: "You can give me 60 first, and the remaining 40 can be given to me when you have more money."

Xiao Bin: "Hey, hey, hey, that's great. Wait a moment." As he said that, he went in to get the money. His hands were shaking when he took the money. He didn't expect that such a good job would be his turn.
