At the lively wedding scene, as Xu Yan's only family member who attended the wedding, Xu Tao kept smiling until the end of the wedding banquet. Before leaving, Xu Tao took a deep look back at Xu Yan, who was standing in the brigade's department with a red face, waved his hand, and turned around I got into the minibus rented by the Wang family when they met their relatives.

Along the way, listening to all kinds of discussions about the style of the wedding banquet, Xu Tao had a gentle smile on his face and kept echoing. When he finally returned to his yard and closed the gate, the smile on Xu Tao's face disappeared. Slowly walked into Xu Yan's former room, sat on the edge of the kang, stroking the mat that Xu Yan used to use, there was no sound in the empty room, Xu Tao just sat quietly, I don't know how long it took, when Xu Tao came back Suddenly, the room was dark, Xu Tao blinked his sour eyes, showed a wry smile, rubbed his face, stood up and walked into the kitchen, looked at the cold pot and stove, suddenly lost the desire to eat, stood in the kitchen After a while, Xu Tao stood at the door of Xu Yan's room again, glanced at the empty room, turned around and locked the door, and went back to his room.

After Xu Yan returned home, Xu Tao resumed a normal life. Although there was only one person missing in the family, Xu Tao was a little uncomfortable with the loneliness from the bottom of his heart whenever the night was quiet. No matter how difficult life at home was before, Xu Yan At home, the siblings still have a talking partner after dinner, not to mention that when they were soldiers, there were more people, and Xu Tao rarely had the opportunity to be alone. After a few days of idleness, Xu Tao finally knew what he was going to do. up.

During the daytime, he attends classes, and at night when he is alone, he exercises his body, such as push-ups, sit-ups, and leapfrog. Xu Tao takes out all the subjects that can be trained at home and exercises over and over again.

And because all the big sheds at home were given to Xu Yan, the couple still came back to tidy up the vegetable shed during the day, but the siblings could never see each other, and the time for school to leave was getting later and later, and Xu Yan was a new wife after all. It was always Wang Guizhu who came back to clean up by himself, and the time passed quickly. One day in April of the next year, Xu Tao just walked out of school after school, and saw Wang Guizhu standing at the school gate with a silly smile on his face.

Xu Tao was a little strange. He looked around but didn't see Xu Yan. Xu Tao walked to Wang Guizhu's side, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? My sister?"

Wang Guizhu came back to his senses and saw Xu Tao standing in front of him, he started to laugh hehehehe, Wang Guizhu's smirk made Xu Tao a little confused, what is this for?

Xu Tao gently pushed Wang Guizhu, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Xiaotao, am I a father?" Wang Guizhu grinned and said in a low voice. Xu Tao was taken aback by Wang Guizhu's nonsensical words. He blinked his eyes and thought about Wang Guizhu's words. Suddenly Xu Tao's eyes rubbed It was on, and he grabbed Wang Guizhu's arm excitedly, "Brother-in-law, am I going to be an uncle?"

Wang Guizhu nodded with a chuckle, "I'm going to be a father." Xu Tao looked at Wang Guizhu who was no longer in a good condition, let go of his hands, turned and ran to Xu Yan's house.

Ten minutes later, Xu Tao, whose face was flushed and panting slightly, rushed into the courtyard of the Wang family, and saw Qu Dahua standing in the courtyard, who didn't know what to say to Wang Ermei, "Ma'am, where is my sister?"

Qu Dahua, who was full of smiles, looked back at Xu Tao, and his smile became brighter and brighter, "Where are you resting in the house, you know, Yanzi has a baby, hurry up and take a look inside."

Xu Tao agreed and rushed directly into Xu Yan's room. When he entered the room, he saw Xu Yan who was half leaning on the stomp. Xu Tao was suddenly at a loss, rubbing his hands together, "Sister, I'm going to be an uncle?"

Xu Yan blushed a little, and nodded shyly, "Where is your brother-in-law?" Xu Tao remembered to leave Wang Guizhu behind, and laughed a few times, "I forgot, my brother-in-law is behind, I came here first .”

Xu Yan beckoned to Xu Tao, Xu Tao waved his hand in fright, some dared not come forward, the sister was finally pregnant, Xu Tao was afraid that he would accidentally bump into Xu Yan, Xu Yan stared, and looked back with some dumbfounding Xu Tao said, "Come here, I'm fine, my sister is in good health."

Xu Tao swallowed and spit, and carefully moved to Xu Yan's side, sitting on the edge of the kang at his feet, looking up and down Xu Yan, Xu Tao's face was rosy, and Xu Tao was so relieved that he pulled the corners of his mouth, "Sister, I'm going to be an uncle."

Xu Yan smiled and nodded, "Well, our Xiaotao is going to be an uncle too." Xu Tao chuckled, "I'm going to be an uncle." Repeating these words endlessly, Xu Yan has already been Wang Guizhu lost his temper because of his foolishness, and when he saw Xu Tao was also foolish, he nodded with a smile, and Xu Yan nodded once Xu Tao said something.

It wasn't until after dinner at Wang's house that Xu Tao flatteredly refused Wang Guizhu's farewell, and went home humming an out-of-tune song. After being excited for a few days, Xu Tao finally calmed down. Having been married for three years and having no children, Xu Tao would smile and Zhang Liang often rubbed his arms. Although Zhang Liang laughed at him a few times, Xu Tao was happy, from the bottom of his heart.

After knowing that Xu Yan was pregnant, Xu Tao went to see Xu Yan every day after school. As time went by, Xu Yan's belly gradually protruded. In August, Xu Tao calculated the time. The conscription in October will start now. After working and searching for a day, Xu Tao stayed at Wang's house for dinner. Seeing that Xu Yan was in a good mood, he carefully expressed his thoughts.

Xu Yan, who was sitting on the kang making clothes for the children, was stunned when she heard Xu Tao's words, and couldn't react for a while, so she just stared at Xu Tao. Xu Tao knew that Xu Yan would definitely not be happy, but it was his dream , Xu Tao didn't want to give up, just sat in front of Xu Yan and waited for Xu Yan to recover.

The bottom of my heart kept beating, and when Xu Yan stared sourly, she blinked and looked back at Xu Tao, frowning, "Why do you think of being a soldier?"

Seeing that Xu Yan didn't look angry, Xu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and he relaxed a little, "Sister, I want to be a soldier, and I'm not good at studying. I have nothing to do at home except farming. I'm old now. Small, going out to learn more is better than staying at home stupidly."

Xu Yan didn't speak, just looked at Xu Tao with one glance after another, wondering what to think, after a while, Xu Yan rubbed against the edge of the kang, Xu Tao hurriedly held Xu Yan's arm, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Xu Yan went down to the ground and put on loose cloth shoes, and took Xu Tao's hand, "Come on, ask my dad to see what the old man thinks. You’re right, it’s good to go out and learn more, but I’m afraid there are other things, so let’s ask the old man for his opinion.”

Xu Tao's heart fell to the ground in an instant, with a smile on his face, and he helped Xu Yan to the main room. Xu Yan stood at the door and shouted, "Dad, are you asleep?" Looking for what I said about the township supporting the winter vegetable market, when I heard Xu Yan’s shout, I quickly got off the kang and walked to the window, and saw Xu Yan and Xu Tao standing in the yard, “Swallow, what’s wrong with Xiaotao?”

Xu Yan smiled and pulled Xu Tao into the room, and glanced at Qu Dahua's absence, "Dad, is my mother out?"

Wang Rongfa nodded with a smile, "Your mother has gone to the backyard, why don't you sit down and talk about it."

Xu Yan agreed and pulled Xu Tao to sit on the edge of the kang, "Dad, Xiao Tao wants to be a soldier, what do you think?"

Wang Rong froze for a moment, looked up and down Xu Tao who was sitting next to Xu Yan, thought for a while, and looked at Xu Tao, "Xiao Tao, we are not outsiders, what do you think?"

Xu Tao repeated what he had said to Xu Yan, Wang Rongfa frowned slightly and pondered, then raised his head to look at Xu Tao, "Xiao Tao, are you more than ten?"

"I'm sixteen years old, and I can't study well, so I want to join the army to exercise. Now the conditions at home are better, and my sister is also stable. I work at home alone to the end, which means farming. I want to go out and see for myself. "

Wang Rongfa shook his head, "The age is too young. Although he is sixteen, he is only fifteen." What Wang Rongfa said was also Xu Yan's worry. Xu Yan also felt that Xu Tao was younger. Home, the family is not short of money, if you really can’t go on studying, it’s convenient for you to take care of the family and take care of yourself. The reason why you didn’t object at the time was because Xu Tao asked what he wanted for the first time in these years, and Xu Yan couldn’t bear to refuse.

Xu Tao also knew that he was not old enough, but Xu Tao knew that being young has its advantages, so he thought for a while, "Uncle, can I be two years older, so that I am old enough."

Wang Rongfa looked at Xu Tao, and Xu Tao's seriousness let Wang Rongfa know that Xu Tao had made up his mind. It is not difficult to change his age, but Xu Tao is not only young, but also short.

Wang Rongfa thought for a while and looked at Xu Tao seriously, "Have you thought it over?" Xu Tao nodded vigorously, "Thought it." Wang Rongfa looked at Xu Yan again, "Swallow, do you agree?" Xu Tao looked nervously at Xu Yan, Xu Yan looked at the tension in Xu Tao's eyes, and nodded slowly after a while, "Dad, you can find someone, it's best if you can do it, if it really doesn't work, forget it, don't make it difficult for you."

Wang Rong laughed and waved his hands, "It's not embarrassing. Now these people are begging us. It's just a matter of one sentence. It mainly depends on what you two think. If I think it over, I'll go to the Armed Forces Department tomorrow." .”

Xu Yan glanced at Xu Tao again, and Xu Tao called out softly, "Sister, I want to be a soldier." Xu Yan stared at Xu Tao, then turned to look at Wang Rongfa, "Dad, you can find someone, how much will it cost Xiao Tao? I'm looking for someone to change the age."

Wang Rongfa smiled and agreed. At this moment, Xu Tao's heart finally fell to the ground, and a smile appeared on his face. Xu Tao's smile made Xu Yan feel a little sour, and he was a little blocked to say hello to Wang Rongfa. Sitting on the kang in his own room in a daze, Xu Tao knew that Xu Yan was uncomfortable, but Xu Tao didn't want to and was unwilling to compromise on the matter of serving as a soldier, so he just sat quietly by Xu Yan's side.

When Wang Guizhu came back from the field, Xu Tao glanced at Xu Yan who was still sluggish, opened his mouth, swallowed the words that came to his lips, stood at the door and told Wang Guizhu the matter again, and asked Wang Guizhu to persuade Xu Yan, Xu Tao Standing at the door and taking a look at Xu Yan who didn't see her off for the first time, she suppressed the sadness in her heart and walked home slowly.

Three days later, Wang Guizhu sent a message that the Ministry of Armed Forces had already said hello, even if there was only one quota in the village, it was Xu Tao's, so that Xu Tao could rest assured and wait for the medical examination. Xu Tao happily agreed, and bought two more bottles of wine and some supplements I personally delivered it to Wang's house, the wine was for Wang Rong, and the supplements were for Xu Yan. At this time, Xu Yan could only follow Xu Tao if she didn't like it. After all, anyone who is not blind can see Xu Tao's joy.

On October 21th, Wang Rongfa took Xu Tao to the township armed forces department to report to the township armed forces department on October [-]th. He was waiting for the medical examination notice and waited anxiously. The date of the first physical examination on the [-]st.

On the early morning of the 21st, Xu Tao got up early to boil water and took a shower, and rushed to Xu Yan's home in the brigade early. Before seven o'clock, Wang Rongfa took Xu Tao to the village, and directly found Liu Xiangyuan, the Minister of Armed Forces, who was waiting. Liu Xiangyuan looked Xu Tao up and down, then looked at Wang Rongfa, "Old Wang, is this child under his age?"

Wang Rongfa grinned, "Old man, what are you talking about, what can I do with you if all the conditions are enough." Liu Xiangyuan smiled and slapped Wang Rongfa, "Ghost spirit, you're the only one with a lot of eyes, I see this The child seems to be short of size, and I will prepare some money for the physical examination later." Wang Rongfa patted his trouser pocket, "It's not short of money."

Liu Xiangyuan laughed hahaha, "Okay, I know you are rich, remember to owe me a drink." Wang Rongfa smiled and nodded in agreement, Xu Tao stood aside and listened honestly, while Liu Xiangyuan was not paying attention, plugged Give Wang Rong 1000 yuan. Wang Rongfa just wanted to refuse, but when he saw Liu Xiangyuan turning his head, the movement of his hands stopped. Liu Xiangyuan took Xu Tao and started running upstairs and downstairs throughout the township hospital.

Urine test, blood test, height, weight, vision, color blindness test, hearing, oral cavity, stuttering, blood pressure, heartbeat, breathing, X-ray, □ examination, genetic disease, one after another, one big red stamp after another is stuck on the medical examination form Xu Tao took a look at his height and breathed a sigh of relief. He was 165.5. He had just passed the passing line, but his weight was a little lighter. Xu Tao remembered that his weight was 91 catties on the scale at that time, but it was 101 kg on the physical examination form. It was indeed [-] catties. After tossing all morning, I finally finished all the inspections before noon, and the rest will wait for the notification of the second physical examination.

Wang Rongfa asked Xu Tao to go home first, and took Liu Xiangyuan and some officers of the Armed Forces Department out for dinner. Xu Tao went back to Xu Yan to explain the matter, and gave Xu Yan another 1000 yuan, but Xu Yan stared back at him. , Xu Tao sat for a while and left Wang's house after eating.

One month later, on November 25, the recruiters from the army came to the county, and all those who passed the initial examination gathered in the county hospital for a second physical examination. This time Liu Xiangyuan rushed to the county with Wang Rongfa and Xu Tao, and found Zou Xiangqian, the recruiting officer who said hello in advance, Zou Xiangqian's family is from his hometown. It took a lot of effort to be able to come to his hometown to recruit soldiers this time. Liu Xiangyuan briefly talked about Xu Tao's situation, and stuffed another 500 yuan , To get the quota in Zou Xiangqian's hand, it can be regarded as a complete settlement of Xu Tao's military service.

After checking again as if going through the process, Xu Tao got the conscription notice with the big red stamp on it. Seeing the thin paper in his hand, Xu Tao's heart was filled with joy, and finally he was completely settled. Xu Tao looked up at Wang Rongfa said, "Uncle, thank you.".

Wang Rongfa smiled and waved his hands, "Thank you, they are all real relatives." Xu Tao smiled and said nothing more.

The next day Xu Tao rushed to the county again and received the quilt, rubber shoes, white towel, training uniform, hat, armed belt, camouflage uniform, two socks, a satchel, brushing teeth and drinking water cups issued to him. One, a set of backpack ropes (one of each size), a shirt, and all the odds and ends, Xu Tao left the Armed Forces Department with all the things.

On December [-]th, Sunday, at [-]:[-] am, Xu Tao, wearing a large green military uniform and carrying a backpack, stood at the entrance of the county armed forces department, surrounded by recruits from the entire W county who were about to leave this time, watching standing in front of him and crying Xu Yan, who was red-eyed, and Xu Tao showed a smile, "Sister, don't cry, I will write to you when I arrive, don't miss me, remember to write to me when my nephew is born, and I will buy you a gift."

Xu Yan nodded with a choked voice, "Remember to take good care of yourself. If you are short of money or if you are bullied, you should write a letter to your sister. Be careful. Don't be bullied and don't know how to fight back. Get along with your comrades-in-arms and you will come Do something, don't be so stupid, talk less and work more, and have some good eyesight." Xu Yan choked up and Xu Tao agreed.

Wang Guizhu supported Xu Yan from the side, looked around, took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Tao, the commander Zou who received the troops, his family asked for money, and he promised to take care of you. If you have nothing to do, move around more. If there is something that cannot be resolved, please send a message home."

Xu Tao nodded, "I know brother-in-law, don't worry, brother-in-law, I'm leaving, take care of my sister, don't let my sister be wronged."

Wang Guizhu nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yan'er." The assembly whistle sounded, Xu Tao took a deep look at Xu Yan Wang Guizhu, picked up the two large bags on the ground, turned and went to the county to see him off After the great liberation, the car drove away slowly. Xu Tao stood in the back and cried hard to Xu Yan who was in Wang Guizhu's arms, and said softly from the bottom of his heart, "I'm sorry."
