Xu Da looked at Uncle Zhao who rushed in in surprise: "What are you looking at?"
Uncle Zhao was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "Soldiers, soldiers, so many soldiers, there are so many soldiers outside the village! I have never seen so many soldiers in my life!"
"So neat and majestic!"
Xu Da was stunned, and suddenly thought of what Lin Hui said to him before leaving.
"Old monitor, I promise you, I will come to pick you up in glory in one month!"
Instantly, his mind was buzzing.
Mom smiled and patted him: "Go and have a look, your brothers are here."
Xu Da hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously to her and ran out quickly.
At this moment, he ran very fast.
The mountain path disappeared quickly behind him, and houses passed him by.
He was very excited, as if he was back to the time when he first arrived at the military camp.
"Xu Da, run quickly, run quickly!"
"The end is ahead, you are already much better than before!"
"Hurry up and run Xu Da, come on, work harder, you will become a sergeant!"
"Xu Da, don't give up. If you give up, you will fail. You will go back to that mountain village forever. Don't stop!"
"..."
"Old squad leader, now you are an officer, but we still have to work hard and not let down our previous efforts!"
Scene after scene flashed quickly in front of him like reflections.
One voice after another kept echoing in his ears.
At this moment, he seemed to be rushing towards hope and the future.
Soon, he rushed to the heights of the village.
Looking outside, Xu Da was trembling with excitement and his face was filled with tears.
I saw two small roads outside the village, and now a large number of troops were walking neatly.
The person at the front was none other than Lin Hui, carrying the Tiger Regiment's flag on his shoulders.
On both sides of him, Zhou Zhongyi and Shu Gang each carried a flag, which clearly read, Heroic Tiger Regiment, Iron-Blooded Tiger Regiment!
The three flags fluttered in the wind, flying in the wind.
"Here they come, they are really here!"
Xu Da knelt down and burst into tears with excitement.
There were more and more villagers nearby, looking into the distance.
"Dazi, are they here to find you?"
"You are so awesome. With so many people coming to see you, you must have been back for too long and the army needs you."
"Dazi, I didn't embarrass your parents, that's amazing!"
"Dazi, you are the most promising and remarkable person in our village! Your father will be very happy for you when he sees you in heaven!"
Listening to these voices, Xu Da wiped away his tears and stood up.
Then he ran over there quickly.
Everyone looked at his back in surprise. Why did he run towards the village committee?
The village chief and several others were also looking into the distance at this moment.
Seeing him coming, he immediately went to greet him: "Dazi, people from the army are looking for you to go back. Why are you here?"
Xu Da did not answer, but said anxiously: "Village chief, flag, give me the flag!"
The village chief was stunned for two seconds, and then suddenly reacted: "Oh oh oh!"
He turned around and ran towards the village immediately, and soon he came over holding a bright red national flag.
Xu Da took it with both hands, ran to the flagpole, and unfolded the bright red national flag vigorously.
Facing the wind, it slowly rose up until it reached the top.
He held the flagpole as if he was also carrying a flag.
Seeing the team getting closer and closer, Xu Da was so excited that his blood was surging.
In the distance, Lin Hui looked at the red flag waving in the wind under the sun, with a smile on his lips.
"The Tiger Regiment is speeding up, Captain Xu is already waiting for us!"
"yes!"
Everyone roared in unison, and their roars echoed throughout the valley.
More than ten minutes later, the troops entered the village in an orderly manner.
The villagers stood on both sides of the road, cheering loudly and waving their hands to welcome the arrival of the Tiger Group.
Lin Hui and the others walked straight through the crowd and headed towards the village.
Xu Da stood in the square, while the village chief and party secretary stood behind him, tiptoeing and looking forward.
"Stand still!"
With a bang, the team all stopped and looked at Xu Da in unison.
The three of them walked up to him carrying the flag.
Looking at Xu Da's chest rising and falling, he shouted loudly: "Captain of the Sixth Sharp Knife Company, Comrade Xu Da, and all members of the Tiger Regiment, are here to take you home!"
Xu Da burst into tears instantly, raised his right hand with all his strength, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Comrade commander, commander of the sixth company of Jian Dao, Xu Da, please return to the team!"
Not far away, Xu Da's mother, leaning on a cane, burst into tears of joy among a group of women: "Dazi has made a difference. Did you see his father? Dazi has made a difference now."
"He has so many good brothers, don't worry, no one can bully him anymore!"
…
In the village chief's office.
Lin Hui took out wads of cash from his bag and placed them on the table.
The village chief, party secretary and others were stunned.
They had never seen so much money in their lives.
"Comrade, you, what are you doing?"
Lin Hui smiled and put the last wad of money on the table: "Village chief, the total here is 800,000, which is a reward given to Comrade Xu Da by the army."
"What?"
"Eight hundred thousand, this, this is all for Xu Da?"
"Did Da Zi make such a big contribution to the army?"
Everyone was so shocked that their jaws hit the ground.
Lin Hui smiled slightly: "You have also seen that when Comrade Xu Da came back, the military medals he wore said everything. I can't reveal more details. This is the secret of the army."
"I hope you won't ask, but Comrade Xu Da really made huge sacrifices and contributions to the army and the country."
"Although this money is a lot of money, it is nothing compared to what Comrade Xu Da has done."
A group of people immediately whispered to each other, their eyes full of excitement.
This is what a mountain village is, everyone in the village is like a family member.
Xu Da has achieved something, and they are also happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Hui looked at the village chief: "Comrade Xu Da will return to the army with us soon. He has an old mother at home who has limited mobility, which is his biggest concern."
"Please ask the village chief to give this money to his mother. Also, please take care of her."
"This way Comrade Xu Da can serve in the army with peace of mind and do more meaningful things for the country and the people."
The village chief nodded quickly: "We will definitely give this money to his mother, and we will not miss a penny."
The party secretary next to him smiled and said: "Don't worry about his mother. We are all from the village. We are not a family, but more like a family. We usually go to his house to help."
"What's more, Da Zi is still a hero. We will go more often so that he will have no worries."
Lin Hui nodded: "Thank you then."
"Captain."
There was a sudden sound behind him, and Lin Hui turned his head and saw Xu Da walking over, supporting his old mother.
Lin Hui was stunned for a moment, pointed at the money and said: "Old squad leader, I have already applied with my superiors. Our regiment will implement professional military service in the future, and you are the first batch of pilot candidates."
"This money is a reward for your past efforts, don't get me wrong."
He knew that Xu Da had a stubbornness in his heart.
You pay so much, but you never do things for the money.
I said this because I was worried that he would refuse.
Xu Da smiled faintly and looked at his mother.
His mother looked at the money and said, "This kind of money will take you more than a few lifetimes to spend, Dazi."
Mom looked at Xu Da, who nodded and said to Lin Hui, "Captain, can we really use this money as we please?"
Lin Hui nodded: "This is your personal reward. You can use it however you want. You can renovate the house, or even build a new house, and buy some new furniture and appliances..."
Xu Da smiled: "I know."
Then he looked at the village chief: "Village chief, just give all this money to the village."
Everyone present was instantly shocked and opened their mouths.
Jiang Liang shouted excitedly from the side: "Lao Xu, you, are you kidding? These are all for you, for our mother. Our mother needs money after you leave!"
The village chief also said hurriedly: "Dazi, you earned all this money yourself, how can you give it to the village?"
Others also said: "Yes, use this money to support your mother in her old age."
Xu Da shook his head: "Village Chief, Uncle Zhao, I have lost my father since I was a child. My mother raised me single-handedly."
"I'm not blind. Over the years, the whole village has taken care of us, especially when I was away. Thanks to you."
"Without you, Xu Da would not be where I am today. Even if I give this money to my mother, my mother will not be able to use it easily, but it can do a lot for the village."
"Our village wants to plant fruit trees and build roads. This money can be put to good use. If the village is better, my mother's life will be better."
He smiled and said: "If you have a stutter, my mother will be able to live well. Village chief, don't refuse. Give all the money to the village and use it where it should be used."
My mother was also beside me and said earnestly: "Brother Zhao, we have received a lot of help from everyone over the years. Now that Da Zi is useful, it is time to repay everyone. Use the money where it should be used."
The village chief and others looked at Xu Da and the others blankly, and then looked at Lin Hui.
Lin Hui had already smiled: "Comrade Village Chief, just listen to Xu Da. If you don't accept the money, he won't be able to leave peacefully."
The village chief and others looked at each other, and then nodded vigorously: "Okay, Da Zi, I thank you on behalf of the whole village! Don't worry, the money will be used by the whole village. After you leave, we will take good care of you." Mom, just do your best in the army!"
"Okay!" Xu Da nodded with a smile.
Lin Hui looked at him: "Old monitor, is there anything else you need to do now?"
Xu Da nodded vigorously: "Yes! I want to go back with you now and train hard!"
Lin Hui laughed: "Okay, clean up, let's go home!"
