Afternoon.

A national highway outside Qinglin City, Jiangnan Province.

During the National Day holiday, the sudden rainy day was encountered, with the howling cold wind and the light rain that stopped and stopped, making people who were traveling more chill.

Sitting in the back row, Su Mu looked at the trees flying past outside, and a deep memory appeared between her eyebrows.

I remember when I was in school, I often chose to walk back to Suzhuang in order to save money. Anyway, Suzhuang is not too far from Qinglin City, so I will definitely be able to go back after walking for a long time.

This way, you can save money and exercise. Thinking about yourself at that time, you really rely on this perseverance to persevere.

Sometimes, when you temporarily walk out of the chaos in the system, and look at the world, you will find that there are many things that have another side.

Su Mu is not a very nostalgic person, but sometimes he is willing to use this nostalgia as a seasoning for life.

"Mr. Su, is Mr. Ye back this time?" Zhu Huaidi asked curiously.

"No, Ye Xi has something to do, she will not be able to come back from National Day this year. Besides, we don't have the idea of ​​meeting on National Day. If you want to go out and play at this time, it's simply a matter of suffering."

"It's better to find some time to go out together instead of like that. In addition, my parents didn't take Su Qi to come back this time. The little guy followed Ye Xi to Yanbei Province. My father-in-law missed them and their son very much, so let them reunite." Su Mu said with a smile and shook his head.

"So that's the case. If you say so, you will go to Yanbei Province in two days?"

"Yes, I will go there too. But you don't have to follow me. Stay here for a few days. Just say that this time, I'll be back by myself. You have to follow me. Your phone kept ringing just now. It should be called by Lian Xi, right?" Su Mu said this, and Zhu Huaidi showed a embarrassed smile on his face.

"parking."

Zhu Huaidi subconsciously stopped and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing when Mr. Su stops?"

"I'll walk the rest of the road by myself. You can have a holiday and go and do your own business." Su Mu said, then picked up a backpack and jumped out of the car.

"Mr. Su, how can this happen?"

Zhu Huaidi quickly drove out, but Su Mu blocked the car door and said with a stern face: "Why can't it be done? I said that I can achieve success. It's not too far from here to Suzhuang. I just took two steps to exercise my body?"

"It's time for you to go back and take a look. You'll also remove the team beside me. There's no need to let them continue to follow. Do you say they don't need it for me to celebrate National Day? It's all on holiday!"

"But……"

"Nothing is possible, execute the command!"

"yes!"

Zhu Huaidi, who could not resist Su Mu, could only drive away. Su Mu, who was left with her, looked up at the trees on both sides, stretched out with a refreshed look, and said with a smile: "I haven't run like this for many years. Now it's time to exercise my body."

As he said that, Su Mu started running.

After running like this for almost ten minutes, Su Mu's eyes lit up. Not far ahead of him, there was also a person running like him.

But the man was wearing a military uniform and carrying a military backpack. Perhaps he saw Su Mu, who was like him, had a burly man with a buzz cut and a burly figure, nodding and smiling, and waved his hand on his own initiative.

"Hello!"

"Okay, do you like running too?" Su Mu asked after running up.

"I don't like running, I just run every day in the army, so if I don't run for a day, I feel that all the organs in my body are dull."

"The same is true after I haven't retired from the army. I don't want to throw away the habits I finally developed in the army because of the retirement. So I chose to run when I returned to my hometown this time." The man said with a silly smile.

Turns out to be a veteran?

Su Mu suddenly felt a little fond of love and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "I'll get to know him, my name is Su Mu!"

"My name is Lu Hao." Lu Hao also reached out his hand as he was familiar with it, shook hands with Su Mu and introduced himself.

"Lu Hao? You just said that you were discharged from the army. So is your hometown here?" Su Mu asked.

"Yes, my hometown is from Lian County, Qinglin City. What's the matter? You don't look like a soldier, but you also like running? Is your hometown also here? It must be right, it's no different from my accent."

"I am indeed from here, and my hometown is from Suzhuang, Xingtang County."

"No wonder, I said I felt very kind to talk to you."

...

The two of them ran and chatted. Because they had to chat, their speed was well controlled, and no one deliberately wanted to run faster.

Su Mu likes Lu Hao because he thought this man was good at first sight and was very pleasing to the eye. The more he talked, the more he felt that it was like this.

Lu Hao likes to talk to Su Mu because his first impression is good. Although he is not clear about Su Mu's work, he can feel a faint aura emitted from Su Mu, as if he has been tempered and tempered in the army.

When getting along with comrades in the army, how could they have so much thoughts? It would be a pleasure to see it.

"You should be older than me, so I'll call you Brother Su." Lu Hao said familiarly.

"Haha, of course I am older than you, and anyone can see this, otherwise do you want me to call you brother?" Su Mu patted Lu Hao on the shoulder and said.

"Hehe, that's not. But in our company, we don't choose who is good or not according to our age, we have to rely on our strength to rank. Brother Su, it's not that I'm boasting about myself. I've been among the top in our military competition in the past years." Lu Hao said arrogantly.

"If that's the case, why would you still be discharged? As far as I know, the army will select elites every year to join special forces. As long as a good seedling like you do not propose to retire on his own initiative, they will basically be selected."

"Tell me, you probably didn't retire until your age as you normally do, right?" Su Mu asked with interest.

The moment he heard this question, Lu Hao's running pace slowed down. After a bit of sadness appeared on his face, he said bitterly: "If I really don't retire, who is willing to retire, who is willing to retire? You are right. My situation is a bit special. I could have stayed in the army."

"Oh, forget it, I won't tell you about my worries. As long as you know that I'm retiring now, I'll be done. I don't want your mood to be bad because of my worries."

This is a guy with a story.

Although Su Mu wanted to figure out Lu Hao's affairs, since he was unwilling to say it, he would not force it.

The two of them put aside this topic and talked about other things, such as Lu Hao’s future work issues. Lu Hao hasn’t thought about this issue yet. Although the local government will also allocate it, it’s just that the job is not something he likes, and Lu Hao will never do it.

"Look, the army's transport vehicle!"

At this moment, Lu Hao suddenly looked ahead and shouted excitedly. Following his gaze, Su Mu also discovered that a convoy was indeed driving over slowly, and it seemed that the style was the army's logistics transport vehicle.

"salute!"

Facing the transport vehicles of the troops, Lu Hao looked excited and hesitated without any hesitation. When the first car drove over, he saluted decisively.

His eyes were filled with excitement and nostalgia, and his whole body stood on the ground like a javelin, with excitement appearing on his angular face.

In the first transport vehicle.

"He is a veteran who has retired from the army!"

“Yes, it’s a veteran.”

"The veteran pays tribute to us, listen to all the vehicles and honk the whistle and return the salute!"

As the first car issued such a command through the intercom, a crisp whistle suddenly sounded. When he heard the return gift, Lu Hao stood straighter, and his face showed an uncontrollable excitement.

Lu Hao, who thought he would not cry again after leaving the army, inexplicably found that his eyes began to wet. He forced himself not to cry. While controlling this emotion, his military posture was upright and his military salute was standard.

The first car whistles.

The fourth car honked its whistle.

The ninth car honked its whistle.

...

Lu Hao's eyes kept shifting with military vehicles. Every time a whistle sounded in his ear, he felt so happy, as if he had returned to the army and back to the place where he would ring while sleeping.

He didn't know how long it would take for him to control this thought, but he didn't want to control it. He wanted to let this thought fill his body like a tide and fill every part of his mind.

Only in this way can Lu Hao feel the value and significance of life.

Su Mu, who stood by her side from beginning to end, empathized with such a scene and began to salute unconsciously.

When the last car left, Su Mu said with emotion to Lu Hao, who was still excited, "Now, what I said is true, I regret it for three years after being a soldier, and I regret it for a lifetime if I don't join the soldier."

"Lu Hao, being a soldier is your greatest wealth in your life. You must cherish this wealth well and you must not forget it even if you go anywhere."

"This is my contact information. If you encounter any trouble at home, you can contact me. I dare not say anything else. On the ground of Qinglin City, I still have some connections to help you."

"Brother Su, thank you." Lu Hao did not feel pretentious and directly accepted the piece of paper handed over by Su Mu.

"There is Lianxian in front of me. I want to go to the county town from the intersection there. Brother Su, let's meet again if we have the chance." After the two of them ran out for a few minutes, Lu Hao suddenly said.

"Okay, go back, I will continue running home. Anyway, it's not far from Suzhuang. My home is from Suzhuang. I should be at home for the two days of National Day. If you are idle and have nothing to do, you are welcome to visit."

"Yeah, I will definitely visit you when I have time."

After Su Mu finally shook hands with Lu Hao, the two announced their separation. After Su Mu watched Lu Hao's figure disappear from the path in front of him, he began to move forward.

After temporarily suppressing the excitement just now, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's interesting to know such a veteran.

"Huh!"
Chapter completed!
